Alright, Chantel. Are you ready for, today's podcast? So ready. K. Well, it's Friday.
It's the August. I don't even know what to say about today's show or anything to, like, kick this off. But, those are the two things that I would say. It's August 1, and it's Friday. And that's exciting news.
That is great news. Yeah. Yeah. I mean, the August 1 thing, I couldn't do without, but I wish it was still June. Oh.
Because that would mean we have a whole summer left. I see. But you know what else that would mean? I'd be super busy getting ready for the July 4. That's true.
Now they're happy. Just now I'm I'm in the mode where, like, I've gotta do all my post summer stuff, and then do you know what's coming? But All of my work on Christmas. I'm not even kidding you. I gotta start working on Christmas playlist.
I gotta start working on all the Christmas stuff that goes in between the songs. I've gotta start working on all the Christmas promotions. There's so many things to get done. And I that's weird to say, but it's August 1, and that means, like, November's right around the corner. I know it.
So much to do and get ready for. I've got all the wrapping to get done. I've got all the shopping, all the decking of the halls. I was thinking about it. Roland is our, Christmas elf.
Elf. Yeah. We gotta come we right now is the time to start thinking about ideas for Roland. We gotta start getting ready. I found a a really cool spot for Roland to hang out.
I showed you that. Remember? Roland does his own picking. I understand. But but there's a good home base for it.
Oh, okay. And remember I showed you. We just gotta get up there and and make it happen. Yeah. Okay.
Yeah. I'm excited. Okay. Not really. No.
Alright. Well, it's it's gonna happen, and it's gonna happen soon. So, anyway, let's get to today's show, and, happy August 1, and happy Friday. Happy Friday. Hey, you.
Hey, you. What's up? What's up with you? Questions with questions. I sometimes do that.
Questions with questions. I'm good. What's going on today? Oh, just, finally a Friday. You know?
We we were off on a four day weekend. Yeah. I know. We've only had had to be at work Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, and today. But it's been long.
Has this been the longest week? I don't know. Yeah. It's been a long week. Mhmm.
I'll tell you what else it is. What? Officially August. Yeah. It is officially August.
July is done. And I'll tell you, I know that fourth of July hit, and then it was, like, a two weeks of fury. It's like a But then it felt like it slowed down this last week. No. And maybe it's just because this last week has been slow.
But I feel like August was delayed the last week. I disagree. No? I think it just goes fast. August has been delayed this last week?
July, you mean? No. Getting to August was delayed. Oh, I see. I knew what I meant.
I said what I meant. I meant what I said. Alright. Alright. Slow it down.
So August, just so you know, does happen to be a new month, and it also happens to be, a new opportunity for you to check out the Riverbend Awareness Project podcast. Oh. And I believe this month is all about back to school. So, if you want to check out the podcast, the new episode is out this morning. It's a two parter.

So if you wanna learn a little bit more about National Back to School Month with miss Ball, check out the Riverbend Awareness Project podcast. It's available everywhere podcasts are available, and it just came out this morning. So Oh. If you wanna you wanna check it out, you should.

I picture I you picture what everybody else pictures. That blue denim thing with the little apples and the little alphabet embroidered across yeah.
That. Very cool. So that's exciting. Anyway, the, part one is available now. Everywhere podcasts are available in addition to our podcast, which is which is awesome.
So, anyway, that's what's that's what's happening. Hey. Look who showed up. Good morning. Morning.
Just saw you, wandered in. Hey. Hi. Hi, friends. This this is Victor from K Bear.
He, just was wandering down the halls. Yeah. You know, just just, getting my steps in. Oh, is that right? Yeah.
Good thing to do early in the morning. It is. Alright. What's the count? Oh, you wanna know where the video's at?
Yeah. It's it's over half a million. Nice. Yeah. It's 520 something thousand.
So dumb. Yeah. It's slowing down. It's really slowing down, though. Well, you know, it it it was the middle of the night.
No. I know. But I just mean, like, in general. Like, the growth from from zero to a 100,000 was unreal. Yeah.
And it's it's really tapered off. Alright. Well, you know, give give it a chance. It's gonna hit a million. Maybe.
It's gonna hit a million. Top quality content. Slow burn. Top quality content. Yeah.
It's the best video I've ever seen. Well, good morning. Hope you have a good showdown. Yeah. Thanks.
I hope there's some, some things to talk about. We'll see. Uh-huh. Same. Yeah.
Yeah. Alright. Well, good morning. Yeah. Well, you guys too.
There was a big to do in the living room last night. Do you remember this kerfuffle? It's like, did you wrack in your brain? I am really trying to I don't remember. All the kids were just trying to watch TV and couldn't.
Yeah. The TV wouldn't open any of the apps. Yeah. I reset the network. We unplugged it.
And and then we were having a conversation about, well, maybe it's just an old TV. Old TVs break. Samsung smart TVs appear to be functioning normally again after experiencing a global outage yesterday. Really? Yeah.
It was a much larger deal than we even knew or cared to even investigate. We just thought we were the only ones having an issue. But across the Internet, including Samsung's community forums, users started reporting issues with their TVs at around 03:00 our time, finding themselves unable to open apps like YouTube, Apple TV, Hulu, Skype, and Yelp. Yep. Apps were still avail you could still see them.
And when you clicked on them, they just wouldn't load, and you'd get a variety of errors. We kept getting a weird network error. Yeah. Even though I had completely reset the network, I made sure we were connected. I ran a network test.
It said you're connected. There was no reason it shouldn't. But that's what was going on. Netflix was unaffected because, apparently, it uses its own content delivery network on TVs. Yeah.
I did not know that. And that's how some users were like, this seems to be a Samsung issue, not an individual app issue. So, that's that's that. That's interesting. A global outage.
Yeah. Samsung has not publicly acknowledged the issue on its website or social media at this point, so the cause of the outage is still unclear. Everybody's trying to get a hold of Samsung for more information about what happened. One person, posted online that they claimed to have gotten a response from Samsung support saying that the company was aware of a potential disruption of service for the Samsung TVs, and that engineers were attempting to restore service as soon as possible. But it was a very widespread issue, Samsung TV users across multiple countries reporting they were locked out of their app.
So, just so you know, if you were experiencing any of that on your smart TV, so was everybody else. So when our kids were complaining about our our TV being too old, they're like, this TV is so old. TV is fine. TV is fine. Yeah.
We don't have an old TV. It's not that old. Settle down. Yeah. I It's a good TV.
I mean, it's the oldest one in our house. No. It's not. Oh. The Sony is the oldest one, and it works still very well.
They all work great. I know. And it's hung above the fireplace. It's very cool spot. Nobody watches but me.
Yeah. That's your fly tying TV. That is my fly tying TV. I turn on my shows and my cool music, and I tie my flies in the library. Good job.
Yeah. It's a good place to be. Old TV. I'll show you an old TV. Even that Sony is not even that old.
I mean, it's it's more than 13 years old. It's probably 15 years old because we got it when we had when we had the apartment. So they had to yeah. They were they were trying to eat dinner while watching some YouTube, and they couldn't get it to work. Correct.
So then, oh my gosh, they had to eat dinner without watching No. Anything. That's not true. They each turned on their phones and put in earbuds and sat and ate watching their phones. Aw.
I didn't know that. I thought they were just eating eating in silence. No. Dang it. No.
That would've made sense. They did not do that. Dors. Anyway, Samsung TV should be all good. It's not old.
No. It just was having an outage. But it's back. It's back. Let's get you some good news.
There's a charity group called Emergency RV, and they are helping out families that lost homes in the devastating floods in the Texas Hill Country by donating RVs. That's what they do. Aw. Yeah. Yeah.
The group was founded by Woody Faircloth and his daughter, Luna, and they accept RV donations from the public. And then they find families who need them, you know, to help out the most. Woody and Luna recently made an impact during flooding in North Carolina, and now they're in Texas where they were able to connect three different families with donated RVs. And because of all the devastation, Woody and Luna see plenty of opportunities to support the community, and they're thankful to everyone who has followed through with donations to keep the program rolling. So if you find yourself in, possession of an RV that maybe you just are like, I'd, this thing is not worth trying to sell or whatever it is, there is a group that you can donate that to.
They're called emergency RV. Oh. And they can use those to help displaced families. I like that. Yeah.
That's nice. Yeah. Kinda cool. Didn't know something like that existed. Either, but I'm glad you brought it to my attention.
Yeah. That's really nice. Emergency RV. Oh, people are a cool nonprofit. Yeah.
So there you go. Now you know about Emergency RV, and, if you wanna give them a a hand, you can. They're trying to, you know, help people. Yeah. So Good job.
Good news. There is a new insect discovered. Oh, no. No. It's cool.
What is it? It is a stick bug, so a stick insect. I saw the video with this guy. He's huge. Yeah.
But they I didn't like that they were taking flash photography of him because he looks kind of distressed as they're doing flash photography. Yeah. But they also said he may be the heaviest insect ever. Right. He weighs about 44 grams, about an ounce and a half, about the same as a golf ball.
And they're saying that he may be, he or she, this insect may be the heaviest insect alive. Yeah. It's it's a big In the country. Sorry. The heaviest insect in the country.
Now where did they find this? Australia. Okay. Good. But, also, that checks out because they have some of the crazy biggest bugs in Australia.
They think that his large size could be an evolutionary response to the cool, wet habitat, so the colder conditions has helped him develop into this large insect over millions of years. He's a beast. Or she. It you Or We don't know. She's a beast.
Right. Is she Huge, though. I know. How long did I say? Did I say how long?
About 15 inches long. No way. Fifteen and three quarters inches long. It's wild, though. But, again, I'll tell you, the flash photography, I think, is stressing it out.
I think so. Also a winged stick bug. So that means this thing probably flies. Of course. It does have wings.
It's in Australia. Everything flies in Australia. Everything. The kangaroos, they fly. The wallabies, the dingoes, they fly.
The tortoise, they fly. I am amazed that people still are discovering new species. Right. Well, we haven't seen everywhere on this planet. I I completely get that.
Yeah. But it's I'm not naive enough to be like, oh, we've discovered everything. But it's still I'm still I'm amazed that there's somebody who's like, oh, yeah. I know what this bug is. This one's already been discovered.
Like, I would go into the rainforest and be like, no one's ever seen this bug before. This is new. And the scientists would be like, yeah. That That's a tree frog. Yeah.
Everybody knows about that one. So the fact that there You haven't seen it. Scientists that are like, we've got a record, and this bug is not on it. You know what else is happening in Australia or off the coast of Australia? What?
This is, this has been known about for a little while, but, the octopus are building cities. No way. Yeah. They are. That kinda gave me chills a little bit.
I know. What? I know. I know. What do you mean cities?
Look up Octopolis and Octlantis and go on a deep dive. A deep dive. Well, that's a funny little unintentional pun that I made. I didn't mean for that to be funny, but I'll take it. I don't know how to spell octopus.
Octo Polis, octopus. They are using, shells and other materials that they can find. Multiple octopuses live in close proximity. They are building octopuses in the ocean. Come on.
I know. I know. The ocean marine life Specifically octopus. Get a takeover. They are very wild to me.
It's pretty wild. Do you wanna play the Ringo Starr song? I wrote a song about an octopus. Alright. In an octopus's garden.
Yes. Yeah. He got it. He knew. He knew.
Anyway, Australia is wild. It's a crazy place. Don't go there. No. I was talking yesterday about the show that I wanted to watch called Back to the Frontier House Yeah.
Where families go to eighteen hundreds Yeah. 1880. And live in a frontier house. Right. They have to give up all of their makeup.
They have to give up all their jewelry. They have to give up all of their electronics, and they churn their own butter, and they live off the land as a person in eighteen eighties would do. Correct. This was a show that I initially watched in the early two thousands, and it came back Right. Which is why it's called Back to the Frontier House.
Right. Because the first one was called Frontier House. Yes. Yeah. Got it.
We're up to speed. Okay. So we watched it last night. You fell asleep to it last night. I finished the first episode.
Did you? Yes. Good job. And? Well, I'll tell you.
There are three families. They are varying sizes, which I think is going to be interesting in this dynamic. I found out that of them are older. Some of them have older kids. True.
I found out that they do live within a good walking distance of one another. So they are going to have to function as a community. Now I didn't watch the first show, the original one, twenty years ago. So I don't know if that was the case in the one that can't remember. But they also I I don't want to to say that it's got a little bit of that reality TV survivor type feel to it.
How But I'm worried that that's what it's gonna turn into. Okay. And then it's gonna be manufactured drama, and I don't like that. I'm glad you said that. The original did not have that.
Right. The original was just them doing their thing. It was not scripted. It's not reality show. But that's because it was twenty years ago, and Right.
Reality TV wasn't a big thing. But the second we started watching it, I was like, this feels It It feels too scripted. Like, you know, like, TLC did a bunch of those shows where it was like, like, we're we're making your mom go to this family, and your mom's going to this family. And then they they like, those kinds of dramas, it feels like it's like it's inching its way toward that. Like, they already have a discomfort in the whole situation, but then they I feel like they're throwing in planned plotted twists and challenges to make things more complicated for, quote, unquote, good TV.
And I don't like that. I'm assuming that. I've only watched the first episode. That's exactly how I felt about it too. But at the end of the first episode, they said coming up on this season, and then they do all this teaser stuff with all this, like, oh, there's one of these two families that I would absolutely back, but I don't know about the other one.
And I'm like, here we go. I don't. Now you've made it a a thing, and I don't like that TV. I don't like that TV either, and the original was not like that. And now first episode is not like that.
And now I feel I've been duped. And now I feel like I've duped everyone. Well, listen. We're given it a we're given it a shot in real time. We're talking about it in real time as we experience it.
And the I watched the whole first episode, and the first episode is very, like, we gotta figure these things out. These are hard things. Yeah. We have an outhouse. We don't have running plumbing.
One of the moms is having a real hard time with not wearing makeup. One of the other moms is having a real hard time with that is the bathroom situation and where am I going to shower, and she's having a breakdown. So there's a lot going on, and then they had their first meal, which Hold on. That's an interesting thing. They this one, when they arrived, it was like, okay.
You gotta take off all your jewelry and put all your phones away. And they were like, what? What? Like, this what you were getting into. Yeah.
Yeah. Yeah. And the first the first one clear back in the early two thousands, it was like, no. We're excited. We're ready to do this.
We know what to expect. But think about We know it's gonna be difficult. Think about technology over the past twenty years, though. Smartphones, Internet, social media, none of that existed in 02/2001. I know.
I know. I just wanted the original. Okay. This question I'm gonna ask you this question because it made me think about reality TV shows. What if there was a reality TV show that you would want to be a part of, what would it be?
I don't mind the competition shows so long as I don't have to eat stuff. Like, I don't I I won't do, like, fear factor where they're, like, eat all this boiled weird meat. No. Like, I'm not gonna do it. Here, you put hissing cockroaches in your mouth.
No. Like, I'm not gonna do any of that stuff. But I like, I like puzzles, and so I like some of the, like, amazing race stuff. When they did the road rules show Yeah. Where they actually had to figure out where they were going next and they had the challenge and all that kind of stuff, I enjoyed those shows because it I like that part of it.
And then I see all the behind the scenes stuff of them making the show, and it's not what you get. The final product on TV is not what goes into making that show because they have to reshoot things or get different angles of things for TV. And so things are not necessarily full on scripted, but they're definitely directed. And I and I about it. So, you know, for me, it's more about the experience, I think, and I would rather go have, like, a a a challenging experience.
I don't think I would do alone. I don't think I'd do well there. I think I'd enjoy the process, but I don't think I'd do well. I don't know. That's hard.
Just one question, buddy. Tell you, I I won't do Naked and Afraid. I'm not doing that show. Do you wanna ask me? Oh, sure.
Okay. I figured you'd volunteer the info. No. No. You just went on and on and on.
Yeah. Well, you asked a big question. I guess so. I would be on, what not to wear. What?
Because I just want new dress. Yes. Oh, you want the makeover? Yes. Cool.
Can we show me how to dress? Uh-huh. Look. I think there's something to that. Like, you need somebody to to sort of help you reset sometimes.
I think that's interesting. And and it takes you out of your comfort zone, and that's important. I mean, I do that sometimes where I go, like, you should try that on. And you're like, I hate trying on clothes. And I go, yeah.
But you might really love it, but you'll never know because you won't try it on. You just gotta go try stuff. Yeah. But I want professionals to say, this looks good for your body type. I totally agree.
Color is your color. Totally agree. That's what I want. Yeah. I'm sure that exists.
I know it does. Just get a hold of Tan. What? Oh, Tan France? Yeah.
Is that his name? Yeah. Yeah. Okay. Just get ahold of Tan and say, help me, Tan.
I love him. I know you do. I love him. He'll totally help you out. Listen, Utah.
That's what I'm saying. Just get ahold of Tan. Okay. I will. Reach out and say Tan.
Hey, Tan, buddy. Take a two and a half hour drive and come help me. I need your help. Yeah. Somebody knows Tan.
Somebody can connect you with Tan. It's a small town. Somebody is somebody can make that happen for you. Put me on a reality show. We don't even have to do it for a show.
Just have Tan go out and show you what to wear. Be like, yeah. Wear that. Would you listen to Tan? Yeah.
I would. Would you take his advice? Yes. You do what he told you? Yes.
That's the show I'd watch. You taking advice and accepting it. As our kids are getting older and and thinking about I mean, we have one that's thinking about moving out. But we are trying to create some I don't know about you. In my mind, I'm trying to, like, what can we do to, like, like a lot of families have weekly Sunday dinners or Yeah.
We let's get together for a barbecue once a month or so I'm like, as our kids are getting older and starting to think about moving out, what is the thing that we could do? And we have always loved Sunday breakfast. That's, like, our thing. I make it. It's a a big deal in the house.
There's, like, a rotation of different recipes, and sometimes I'll try and throw in something new. Or, occasionally, it's something bigger like, like an eggs Benedict Right. From scratch. Sometimes we go out. Yeah.
It's that's our thing. Right. And so I said, hey, guys. When you move out, like, we wanna do, like, a weekly breakfast, and you can come over for breakfast Right. Even after you moved out.
And Beck, our son, was fit to be tied. Every week? Every week? What? I have to come back every week?
You don't have to, but you'll want to. Breakfast. Right. Why wouldn't you come for breakfast? Yeah.
Show up for breakfast. There'll be warm breakfast on Sunday morning waiting for you. Yeah. Come on, man. What's your what's your hustle?
Yeah. What's your holdup? What's Yeah. What's your beef? But he was he was like, may I could see, like, once a month.
Like, man, I'd like to see you more than once a month. Yeah. No kidding. I see every day as it is, but it'd be nice to see you, like, once a week at least. I would like that.
Right? That sounds nice. Yeah. And so I said, well well, you actually said this. You go, well, I'm gonna be making breakfast anyway.
So come over if you won't. Come over if you want. Yeah. It'll be here. If you don't.
Yep. But I can't believe how fit to be tied he was. Fit to be tied. Fit to be tied. He was he was definitely, like, pretty much, uninterested in seeing us week to week.
So there's that. I just looked up the fit to be tied meaning. Okay. I don't think it applies here, does it? Not really.
No. That's why it's not it's not the thing. Yeah. The expression implies anger so extreme that it requires physical restraint. Yeah.
No. He was not that. No. No. He was just Not at all.
He was just flabbergasted. Like, I can't believe you want to see me once a week. What is what is wrong with you? Because I don't wanna see you until Yeah. I'm I would like to see you maybe once a month.
I'm getting some space. I guess so. Brood. I can't eat it. Well, breakfast will be there whether you like it or not.
Show up I'll be there. Or don't. Okay. Me too. Breakfast.
I'll be making it. Yeah. Delicious. So our boss just walked in. He looked at your face, and he said, what happened to you?
And you said, oh, I forgot. I have a wound. I did forget. You did. I was looking at the picture because I wish it was the cooler story.
Well, here's here's what I here's what I what I saw. Chaos. Chaos. Chaos. Then you came back, to the backyard where I was watering the plants, and you had blood dripping down your face, and you and you pointed at it.
Like, look. And I was like, what happened? And then you went inside. So that's the entirety of the story that I know. I had to take care of the blood.
Blood. So, what happened? I was watering the garden, and you were wrestling with the dog. That's all I know. I went to show you, like, look, because this dog Right.
I didn't want. Okay. Listen. Was it the dog? Did the dog get you?
I don't know to be sure. I it's the dog's fault for sure, but it I don't think the wound came from the dog. Okay. So she She got a little slash. It's not even half an inch long.
I know. It looked worse. It felt worse than it is. Yeah. At first, I was like, this is gonna ruin my whole My whole face.
This is my moneymaker. Is it? Oh, no. Not my moneymaker. So what I think happened was the dog is on the lead, like a chain.
It's not a chain. But But she's on a cable, when she's in the backyard. And she goes nuts about water. Anytime we're watering, she goes crazy about the hose. And so I was distracting her with a ball, and she was doing great.
But then you were watering by the fence of the neighbors Right. Where the dogs, the other dogs live. Right. And she can't handle that. She cannot.
And she was worried that she couldn't protect you. She couldn't reach you, and she was like, there's dogs over there, and I can't get to you on the ball. Every day. This happens every day. Every time we water.
Yeah. And she the ball was not distracting her. I couldn't get anything to distract her, and so I finally picked her up. And she was trying to jump out of my arms, and she's only fifteen pounds. No.
But she's strong. But she is a lot of muscle. Yeah. And when she's got her sights set on something or there's something in her brain, she's like, I'm gonna get out of this. Right.
So she was trying to jump out of my arms, and then she was stuck on something. Her lead was stuck on something. And then I unstuck the lead, and she lunged out of my hands at the same time. Yeah. And so then the lead came up and smacked me in the face.
And then I went to move the lead, and I think I scratched my own self. Ah. But there was, like, there's a big chunk of skin that's missing. Well, it's not big. I mean, literally, this thing is not huge.
Josh. Chantel, after it all happened, and I to me. Okay. There was a chunk of skin that was dangling. It was dangling.
I didn't cut it off. I understand that that it pulled some skin. I can tell. Okay. But you're making it sound like you have a new face like Nicolas Cage and John Travolta.
Face off. Right. Yeah. That. Like, it's not.
Like, you have a tiny little, like It's tiny quarter inch by sixteenth inch scratch. When it first happened, though, immediately, I felt blood dripping down my face. Blood? And so when it at first, I was like, oh, this is deep. This is big because you could feel the blood Uh-huh.
Dripping. And I have a picture where it's dripping down my face. It looks like one of those creepy, doll masks with just the blood tear. That's what it it's what your face looks like. And then I was like, oh, I hope I get a black eye because I've never had a black eye.
Right. And I wanted to have a black eye. And you told me that, and I said, then everyone's gonna go, was Josh beating you up? Like, come on. I know.
Here's the other part. I walked inside because I wanted to show people, like, look at my wound. Yeah. Yeah. Went to with the blood.
So I went to show you first, like Yeah. Look at what your dumb dog did. Hey. Settle down. I am settled.
It was not Luna's fault. Like, yeah, she was a bit of a a crazy person when she wanted to save me from the fence. But but that was there's a lot going on there. Okay. It wasn't like the dog attacks your face.
I walked inside and I went to show Beck. It was like, look at my bloody face. Yeah. And I go, Beck, look what happened. And he goes, oh, hold on.
And he was in the middle of a game. He didn't even look. I went to show Emery. Her door is locked because she had just gotten out of the shower. She was changing.
So no one even cared about me. No. It's not that. I'm believing Everybody was doing their own thing. My face.
Right. And I'm like, hello. I was watering, still when you came out to show me after you'd put the dog inside. And I said, what happened? Did she get your face?
Like, I was worried that the dog had attacked your face, and then you just walked away shaking your head. And I went, okay. Well, I'll never find out. Then later, Bec goes, what happened to your face? I'm like, no.
You didn't care to know when I was bleeding. I'm bleeding down my face. But you still don't have a black eye, and you still haven't had a black eye. I know. I wanted it to be a black eye so that I could be like, look how dangerous I am.
Remember when my middle name is danger? Yeah. It is. There's one time I've had a black eye. And?
It hurts. I know it hurts, but it looks cool too. Like I I didn't care for it. Do you wanna know how I got a black eye? How?
It's the coolest story you've ever heard. Let's hear it. Sometimes lumber sticks out of the back of a truck. I was probably 13 or something, and, and it was hanging out the back of my dad's truck, and I walked into a two by four. Black eye.
It hurt very bad. I'm sure it did. I'm sorry. Yeah. Don't walk into two by fours.
But then people are like, woah. What happened? No. They weren't. Oh.
You get that like, oh, nice shiner. Nice shiner. I know. It's what I kinda want. You want people to say nice shiner?
Kinda. I kinda do. Do a makeup one just for the day. It's not the same. Then you don't have to have the pain of it.
Well, that's true. Fun. Having a bruised ocular cavity is not a good time. That's true. You're right.
So do a makeup one. Alright. And be like, yeah. I got this black eye. I don't know where it came from.
Yeah. Weird. We couldn't decide what to eat for dinner last night, and so we all loaded up and went to the grocery store. And we were like, what are we gonna what are we gonna get to buy? Yeah.
And we've got we're gonna get to buy to make? We we do it what we call a yo yo, which is a you're on your own Yes. In our house. And, usually, that's a we aren't gonna go out to eat. Find whatever you can find out.
Food. We have leftovers. We have stuff in the freezer. We have stuff in the deep freeze. We've got stuff you can make.
Figure it out. The case last night was there was nothing in the house that any of us wanted to eat. Right. So and we didn't wanna go by because going out to eat is expensive. So Correct.
Let's go to the grocery store. And then on the way there, Beck had the brilliant idea that once we got in the grocery store, it was a yo yo kinda situation there. Right. You figure out what you want. Pick your own thing.
Yeah. Which is brilliant. But you all decided you were gonna have a sushi night, and I'm not big on sushi. So fine. It's a yo yo.
That's good. But I I had in my head that I was gonna make something delicious After I pity partied for a little while and said, I guess I'll just have a kid cuisine. I guess I'll just have this three minute microwave pizza. I guess I'll just have some deli sandwich, I guess. And I just tried to make everybody feel bad that you all you all I know.
I know. I'm very aware. I was just trying to say it's cute how the three of you decided you're gonna have the same meal, and I'm over here on my own. Well? And then you all went, well, you could have sushi.
You could be cool with us and have sushi. And I went, no. It's gross. I know it's delicious. That's fine.
I'm glad you like it. It was good. It's not for me. Okay. So so, anyway, we wandered around, and then I remembered that at home, I had, some pasta that I really wanted to try.
And so I was, I was excited. I was like, I'll just get the stuff to go with the pasta. Because I had there was a deal a couple of weeks ago that I got a buy one get one free pasta, and I just picked a weird random noodle. And I went, I'm gonna make that. And so I picked a new sauce that I haven't tried, and then I got a big, a nice big garlicky sausage that I was gonna cut up and make.
And, and I made a nice meal. To which you then said, I think I want that. That looks nice. Like, I think I'll just save my sushi for lunch and have what you're having. Yeah.
Yeah. A fresh hot cooked meal. Yeah. Yeah. Nice.
Uh-huh. So I had a little bit of everything. You did. You had a little sushi. I had some of Beck's sushi because he got a different sushi, so that was good.
We got some, Delicious red potato salad. Yeah. I had some of that. Yeah. And then I ate some of your meal.
I had a little hodge podge dinner. Yeah. I was happy as a clam. Your your yo yo turned out to be just snacking on everybody's yo yo. Everybody's.
Yeah. Uh-huh. You're on your own turned into Chantel eats everybody's. Yeah. That's pretty much what it is.
And nobody complained. Everybody was happy to share. That's that's right. That's true. Did you have any of Emery's, or did she she kinda just kept her own.
Yeah. She kept her own. And she just gets basic sushi. And who wants that? Not me.
Not me, the greatest. Sushi. Well, anyway, it ended up working out. And I like our yo yo thing. I think that's, I think it's a good idea.
Here's the other thing that, that I thought was fun was that your sushi, was expensive. Like, the three of you had an expensive meal. My entire meal that now has lunch for a couple of days because it made a lot was $10. Yeah. We have lunch.
We have leftovers. Yeah. But I'm just saying it wasn't $10. You didn't have a $10 dinner. No.
I had $10, and I got, like, four meals out of it. Well, congratulations. Guess what you're eating for the next four days? My leftovers. Yeah.
That's what I brought for lunch today too. So yeah. I know. I know. Breakfast, lunch, and dinner for you.
Breakfast. Definitely lunch. We'll have a different dinner, but it'll be lunch for a couple of days. And that's fine. It's good.
Until Oh, man. You hate it. Like, you'll eat it today and tomorrow for lunch, probably. Yeah. But there's only two containers of it, so it'll be fine.
So then you'll just throw it away. So that's $10 in the garbage. Won't because I'll have eaten I'll have eaten it three of the four meals. Probably all four. And then, and then if I don't, you'll throw it away, and I'll go, I was still gonna eat that.
Where'd it go? And you'll go, oh, we threw it away. Because I don't eat leftovers past day two. Correct. Because they're fine still.
No. Yeah. Leftovers are three to five days. You're fine. No.
Sometimes seven or eight if not if you really wanna get wild. No. I don't. So it turns out scientists discover that it's possible that humans might have the genes needed to hibernate. Oh, let's go.
We we just have to tweak them a little bit to do it, but experts say that it could unlock all sorts of new treatments for things like diabetes and obesity. Animals that hibernate can lose weight quickly without affecting their health. Okay. So Okay. Here's the thing.
Like, I feel like we should. I Because I feel like as a species, like, evolutionary wise, like, we probably did some sort of winter slowdown Because, you know, when we didn't have homes and all that kind of stuff. I'm talking, like, way back, Neanderthal style. Like, we had caves and we had some sort of structures that we lived in, and we had fire to keep us warm. But, really, we probably weren't out hunting and gathering in the wintertime.
We probably sheltered until it got warmer. Right. So, or we didn't live in wintery climates, and I don't know that that that's necessarily the case. But, anyway, the the point I'm trying to make is, yeah, we probably, in our DNA, have the capability to hibernate, but society has changed us so much that now we've stepped away from it. Here's here's an interesting thing, that I that I learned about.
There was a guy who went into a cave, and he got rid of all light source. He got rid of all time, like, tracking devices. No watch, no outside, sun, none of that stuff. So he was literally only able to see darkness, and he had no idea what time it was. And his body went into a cycle of thirty six hours instead of twenty four.
So he was he was sleeping for eighteen or thirty six. Yeah. Sleeping for eighteen, awake for eighteen. That was his body's natural cycle. Interesting.
Yeah. Because he had no idea what time it was. So he didn't know how long he'd been asleep or how long he'd been awake, but they were tracking him from outside. And that was his body's natural cycle. So I wonder if hibernation if we were put into a place like that where you had no sense of time, if that would be a natural thing we would do.
Interesting. Interesting. But, also, I like, it sounds great, but then I go, but we would miss so much. We would miss our kids growing up a little bit. Okay.
Yeah. I get that. I I don't know. But you'd also get all that time to be cozy and warm. No.
And you just sleep through the winter, so you wouldn't even have sleep. Even think you have to sleep through it. Like, I think you just need the shelter in place. Okay. That's fine.
I'm fine with that. We don't go outside in the winter. It also says that you can like, this could help with age related diseases, and we already have the genome to do this. That's really interesting. Sorry.
I mean, I'll volunteer. Me too. I'm hibernating. Sorry. See you in two months.
It says, bears, my and mice have gotten rid of the genetic brake or governor that otherwise keeps their metabolism continually burning Uh-huh. At the same rate. So that's That's a big part of it. Kind of the what differentiates us from them. Yeah.
Because our metabolism is still gonna burn. Like, we need we need nutrients Right. Because we've been trained for So we just have to tweak a few things. Yeah. No big deal.
Just tweak some DNA. It's all easy to do. Yeah. Alright. Let's hibernate.
Let's do it. Starting, when? Now? No. Because it's still warm outside.
Okay. When do we start? First snowfall. First snowfall? Yeah.
Sometimes that's early. Sometimes that's in October. Okay. November right after right after Thanksgiving. A big feast.
Big meal. Nap. Sleep. Okay. I like it.
Okay. Hang on. What are we hanging on for? Well, because I was on the page where I needed to talk to you about it, and then it logged me out. Oh, no.
Okay. Here it is. Okay. So the Idaho Falls Public Library libraries in general do really cool stuff Uh-huh. All of the time.
Yeah. But, like, the Idaho Falls Public Library has got they've got all kinds of stuff for teens, and they've got kids. Like, coding workshops and stuff. Is that what you're talking about? They've got writing workshops, and they've got, like, a creative workshop, and they've they've got stuff for little kids all the time too.
But they came out with this thing called never too late. Oh, you told me about this. And it is an eight week course geared for ages 55 and better, they say. I like that. And you explore the fundamentals of music theory.
You get comfortable reading sheet music, and you find your way around a keyboard. I think that's awesome. I think that's awesome too. You have to be 55 or better Yes. In order to, to take the class.
But are you close enough? Like, I know you're not. No. I'm not. But And I'm not taking this away from I understand.
There's a lot of stuff available for Yeah. Our age and younger. I get it. I think sometimes 55 and betters get Yeah. Lost in the shuffle.
I think that's really cool. And I think this is great. And and you could untap something that you'd never even knew about. Like, if you went to this thing, you could be like, I didn't realize I could play the piano. I didn't realize I was a musical prodigy.
At 55. Fucking no. I think that's so so cool. So if people are interested in this, when is this, and how do they get information? Begins on it starts on Thursdays, August seventh.
So next week. K. And it goes 10:30 to twelve, 10:30AM to twelve, and it's in the second floor of the library in Idaho Falls. So cool. Spots are limited to 10 people.
Okay. So if you want one of those spots, you better grab it. I think that's a really cool thing. There's a sign up website, or you can go to the Idaho Falls Public Library Facebook or to the library itself. Yeah.
I would, I would take advantage of that. I think that's such a cool thing. Ages 55 and better. Yeah. I like it.
It is officially August, and I know that you're not necessarily super okay with that. It actually has a name. It's called the August blues. I don't mind August. I know that it's it means that summer is coming to a close, and I know that it means that school is starting soon, and I get that.
But Yep. Sometimes it's nice to have a routine back. Okay. I get that. Here's why they call it the August blues in addition to everything you said.
Because people get regretful, and they go summer's almost over, and we didn't go on enough vacation. Yeah. We didn't do any of the fun things we planned to do. No. That's absolutely true.
People look at August, and they go, well, what a failure I am. Oh. Yeah. You're not a failure. Other people get overwhelmed by back to school stuff, all of that, because they've been, like, three months of, finally, I can just relax and not have all this running around to do.
Now they gotta get that scrambling and scheduling and all that stuff back up and running. So, yeah, that that causes the August blues. Yeah. That's my blues riff. The baby blues.
Yeah. Baby, baby. Right. You were not wearing a big enough Viking helmet, for that. And I know the babysitter wasn't wearing it when she was sick.
The kid was. Thor's helmet. There you okay. Great. Thor is a Viking.
I get it. That's from adventures in babysitting. If you If you didn't know. If you didn't know. If you didn't know, now you know.
The babysitting blues. Yeah. Yes. Similar to the August blues, but about babysitting, not August. Right.
Mhmm. I got the August blues. Nice. It fits. It fits perfectly.
So. Sure does. Well, hopefully, you're not experiencing that. If you are, just take a breath. It's okay.
Look. August is here. Stuff's coming. It's gonna happen. Yeah.
And then before you know it, it's Halloween. Don't I thought you were gonna say something else. Don't you dare even. And then you and then it's Thanksgiving. Don't even.
Don't you dare. And then a New Year. Oh, see? And right in between Thanksgiving and New Year. How many days?
Do you have any idea? Nope. I know. Wanna know? Nope.
I'm gonna tell you anyway. I know you are because you're that kind of a person. You are that kind of person. When I say don't do something, you go, I'm gonna do it anyway because I think it's cute and funny. It's a troublingly low number.
It always is. Yeah. I gotta get to work. We got a whole, you know, thing that we do around this special time of year. I've still not said it just so that you know.
I don't wanna know. If you wanna know, I'm sorry. I'm not gonna have Josh say it. So look it up yourself. I don't It's a low number.
Don't even know. Do if you had to guess real quick. You got your fingers in your ears. Are you serious right now? Are you five?
Yes. What is happening? I'm not listening. It's 46. I'm I didn't hear.
Mhmm. I'll tell you again. 46. You are so rude. I know.
That is not that many. I'm blown away. Anyway, happy August. I can't believe you. Enjoy your blues.
Luckily, this didn't happen here. This happened in South Carolina. The Department of Energy announced that a radioactive wasp nest was found heard about this. In their outside their nuclear facility. Yeah.
Bunch of radioactive hornets buzzing around. Now I are they, like, radioactive sting? Like, am I gonna turn into, like, the the hornet version of Spider Man? I don't think so, Josh. I don't think so.
Let's see. So it was found outside a facility that used to make plutonium during the Cold War. Uh-huh. It's outside of Augusta, Georgia, but in South Carolina. They found it on July 3, so they found it a while ago.
Oh, and they're just letting everybody know about a month later? The whole nest was radioactive, but they're like, don't worry. Yeah. It's just a moderate amount of legacy radiation from the old nuclear plant. It doesn't mean there's a leak.
No. No. It tested at a 100,000 DPM or disintegrations per minute. I don't know what that means. So, the thing about, the way I understand it, the thing about radiation is that it it breaks off.
It, like, shoots out. It expels. Okay. So I think the the higher that number, the more radiation is emitting off of something. Okay.
They said their DPMs are moderately high, but nowhere near Chernobyl levels. Oh, well, good. Oh, goodness. So it's a it's a it's a wasp nest, not an elephant foot. Come on.
They they sprayed the nest, treated it as nuclear waste. You should have. No actual wasps were found inside the nest. Great. And that's what I know about that.
So tell me this is where we got, like, murder hornets and these, you know, these crazy giant hornets that, like, appeared all of the sudden. Yeah. I know. Or the underground wasps that live they make their nests underground. You crazy wasps crazy.
Wasps are crazy looking already, but now they're radioactive. There were no wasps in the nest. Yeah. I wonder why. Because they moved on.
Because they mutated, and they're huge, and now they're gonna attack you. And Yeah. I've seen this. They're they're giant, and they're gonna, like, start climbing the buildings. I've seen that too.
That's a what's that video game? Chaos? Something like that? Listen. Listen.
Listen. Listen. We need to get Paul Rudd here. Oh, Ant Ant Man? Yeah.
So he can team up with the wasp. Yeah. Exactly. Uh-huh. Look at it.
Yeah. We'll get it taken care of. Don't you worry. Yeah. Oh, okay.
Terrifying. It is. It's cool. They said it's fine. Everything's cool.
Yeah. It's fine because they can't find where the, where the wasps went. It's not Chernobyl levels. Mhmm. It's fine.
Okay. Thumbs up. Good news. Would you rather this or that? Would you rather have a never ending snow cone or unlimited root beer floats all summer?
Unlimited root beer floats. Me too. Doesn't that sound good? Yeah. They have a new root beer.
What was that root beer we saw last night at the store? It was a ice cream sundae. Yeah. Oh. Did you get one?
No. Oh, I thought you might have. No. Because here's what happened. I looked at it, and I went, oh.
And then nobody else seemed interested. And I wasn't gonna be the only one doing it. They're doing it. They also have it in mini cans. Maybe we should get those instead of the, the big 20 ounce bottle or a whole case of them.
I agree. But you can get the little mini A and W ice cream sundae cans, the little seven and a half ounce cans, and that seems appropriate. Okay. I'd be down for that. Yeah.
I wanna try it. I do wanna try it. I'd no. I didn't even know they were doing this thing, and that was, that was pretty cool. But, I'm trying to see when it came out.
It's been out for, like, months. Really? Or maybe it was announced a couple of months ago. I don't know. Either way, I think it looks interesting, and I wanna try it.
Delicious. Yeah. They also have a zero sugar version. Do you want to have a root beer float right now? Not right now.
You had a root beer float? Here's the thing about a root beer float that I hate. Actually, I might change my answer. I just remembered that I don't really like. You know when you put the ice cream in there and then you add the the root beer Yes.
And it foams up extra, and that foam gets, like because it's got milk and stuff in it, it gets all. You know? Yeah. I don't care for that. I don't mind it.
I hate that. I don't mind it. I don't I don't like it. I can tell. Yeah.
I like the flavor of a root beer float. I hate that bubbly Are you gonna you're gonna change your answer to a snow cone then? I might. Wrong answer, my guy. So what flavor of snow cone?
Oh, tiger's blood. Basic. No way. That's what everybody gets. It's so good.
That's why it exists. That's what everybody gets. It's not what you get. No. It's not what I get.
So you're wrong. I'm not like everybody else. I'm Okay. Different. Mhmm.
Alright. Well, I'm gonna be different. I might just switch to that snow cone. Either way, I'm having a nice frosty treat, and I'm excited about that. I haven't even had a snow cone all summer.
What if I tell them I was not there? Here we go. August blues. Would you rather this or that? So last night, NBC broadcast the NFL hall of fame game between the Detroit lions and the Los Angeles chargers.
Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Football is officially back. It was the first preseason game of the season.
And we didn't even talk about it happening. No. We didn't I mean, it was happening. Hoop. It was the lions and hoop.
And the Chargers. Uh-huh. Oh, Chargers. It was the, first preseason game, had almost no starters on either team, but that means football is back, and about 6,000,000 people watched that pointless kinda game. But the chargers won, I heard.
Oh, I don't know. Is that what happened? Yeah. I think the chargers won. I saw news.
But, again, it would there were no starters, and it's a preseason game. It doesn't matter. It was kinda like a Everything's made up, and the points don't matter. That's right. That right there, though, about 6,000,000 people watching that game, and it'll probably go up once more of the numbers get crunched in there.
Compared to last season's NBA playoffs, which averaged 6,130,000 viewers, the NHL's postseason, which had 2,500,000 viewers, Major League Baseball's championship series had 4,960,000 viewers, the hall of fame game, the first preseason football game had more viewers. Really? Yeah. 6,000,000. So it is doesn't I think people just miss football.
Yeah. Maybe. I think that's what's up. People miss football. Football yet.
But Football's ready for you. Although, JJ McCarthy, my quarterback, has been doing so good in practice. Everybody better watch out. Uh-oh. Mister sidearm.
See another Vikings fan in in town the other day, and I went Yes. You did. And he was wearing a Justin Jefferson jersey, and I was like, that's my kid. He's not my kid, but That's my kid. He was on my Viking team.
I see. He's my Viking teammate. I see. Alright. Well, hey.
