Full show transcript:
Oh, Josh. You were showing me a video yesterday, and you said, do you know who this band is? And I said, no. And you go, just wait. Just wait.
And I go, I don't know who this band is. And you go it was a bunch of old dudes. Yeah. And you go And and the the guy who was singing had a British accent. Yeah.
Kinda. It's a loose British accent. Yeah. And I had some ideas in my head, but I didn't say them out loud, and I'm glad I didn't. Who did you think it was?
No. Tell me who you thought it was. And then Tell me who you thought it was. No. And then you go Tell me who you thought it was.
You'll hear on the next song. You'll know on the next song. Well, I thought you would. Well, you didn't let the song play, though. Okay.
But, nonetheless, who do you think it was? No. I really wanna know. No. Who did you think it was?
I thought I thought maybe for a brief instant, it might be Brian May from OER. Alright. Just the white hair. Okay. Right.
I know it wasn't. I think, yeah. It's not it's not Brian May. Brian May has longer hair. And it isn't as curly as though?
And the guy in in the video was, like, coarse and it was kinda sticking out a little bit. Yeah. I was like, no. Needs a haircut. Who else did you think it might have been?
You only thought of Ida B. Brian May. And Brian May is not a singer. Right. So But he could have been on a mic.
I mean, maybe. Yeah. Turns out Turns out. It was a Jeff Leppard line. No.
Yeah. Your comment was pretty great though because you said, yeah. Maybe they just need to live in my memory. They have long been a bucket band, a bucket list band of mine. I've wanted to see them for a long time.
Yeah. And I probably should've gone to see them about thirty years ago. Yeah. When you were, what, '12, 13? Yeah.
No. No. Alright. So maybe twenty five years ago. Okay.
Fair. When you were Because seeing them now, I go 15. No. I don't want that to be my past memory of them. Yeah.
They they old. They old. And I'm not saying there's anything wrong with that. But I'm just saying And they're still out there performing and rocking. Great.
Rocket. Yeah. Come out, Rocket, baby. Yeah. Come on.
Yeah. You know. You know? I do know. That's why I made the rocket joke.
Okay. I kinda do wanna see them. I knew it. Don't know. Listen.
I'll just close my eyes. Sound good. That's right. That's what I was gonna say. Just don't look at the we'll be far back Yeah.
And don't look at the screen. Just look at the stage from far away and go, yeah. They sound good. Yeah. Yeah.
Yeah. And when hysteria comes on, hysteria with new lamp. You are something else, dude. You wanna start the show? Yes.
Alright. When you say I'm something else, is that positive? Here's the show. Hi. Hi.
What? You know how you go through the list of, like, things that are happening today? Things that are like, what are we celebrating today? There's a day for everything. Right.
And today is canoe day. Canoe day? Yeah. Have a paddle. Go for a canoe.
I like canoes. One of my I I I spent a lot of time in a canoe. But one of my favorite things was before the canoe trip, there were a lot of jokes about canoe practice because we would go and, we're taking youth on a canoe trip. And so we we spent a lot of time took a 50 mile canoe trip. Yeah.
So we spent a lot of time learning how to steer a canoe and how to power a canoe and how to pack a canoe and how to lift a canoe over your head and how to load it on a trailer. Like, a lot of just different canoe stuff. But there's, canoe dancing. And, if you've not seen it, it's quite the sight. But explain canoe dancing.
So the idea is to make as minimal a splash as you possibly can with your oar or your paddle Oh, okay. As you maneuver the canoe around in circles, and, it's all set to music. Dance? It's very, it's very something else. Yeah.
Did you guys do this? No. Oh. No. Canoe dancing, though.
It is the, I the video I've seen is from 02/2007. I haven't seen current stuff. But if you just Oh, no. If you just Google canoe dancing I am right now. You will see the Midwest Freestyle Freestyle Canoe 2007.
I've seen this before. It's been a long time. It's been a few years since we took that canoe trip. But what a sight it is. Look at the spectators.
They I know. I I jumped ahead to about two minutes into the video, and that's where you really get to see. The the whole object is to make as minimal splash as possible. And this guy's very good. He's really good at it.
He's very good. Plus, his vest is on point. But, look at him go. You know how I mean, just incredible. Looks like he's stirring soup and not spilling a drop.
You know how the Bee Gees had that song shadow dancing? Oh, yeah. Sure. I wish they came out with a canoe dancing song. Canoe dancing.
Like that. Yeah. Instead of shadows. Yeah. You got Canoe dancing.
Canoe dancing. Yeah. Well, that's fun. Well, that is fun. I just it's a strange thing to celebrate the canoe, but, you know, why not?
It. Why How are you gonna celebrate canoe dancing? I'll tell you how I'm not gonna celebrate. How? By going and it's not celebrating canoe dancing.
I know. I messed up. Spoke. But I'm not gonna go canoeing. Why?
Well, for one, I You've had enough canoe? Well, I've I spent a lot of time in a canoe. A week straight in a canoe is enough time. Can you canoe? I can.
Can you? No. We went on a canoe trip once with our friends to see some salmon that were spawning. Yeah. How long how many how long was that trip?
Would have been shorter if someone else helped in the boat. I thought I was helping. Yeah. Yeah. I paddled, you and Emery across a giant lake.
I thought I helped. And back. I'm sorry. I thought I helped. I mean, for a while, but you were making it more zigzagged than it was worth because you weren't at the canoe practices.
So No. Yeah. I didn't have a lot of canoe practice. So I just did all the work from the back of the canoe and I'm sorry. Got us there.
It's fine. We made it. We did make it. Yeah. I appreciated it.
Did I tell you thank you? Probably. Made for a good picture. Yeah? Mhmm.
What kind of picture? The picture of you two sitting in front of me in the canoe with the big landscape in front was nice. Good picture. Yeah. It is.
Yeah. We should print it. Sure thing. So always remember. Hey.
It's Josh and Chantel. Good morning. Good morning. I did a lot of babysitting when I was in high school. This is true.
And because of that, I've seen a lot of Blue's Clues. Okay. I like Steve. I love Steve. I had the biggest crush on Steve along with everyone else who watched Blue's Clues during that time.
Yeah. Okay. So you had Steve, and then you had the guy who was after Steve. Oh, I didn't watch after Steve. And then there was another guy.
Really? It's like multiples. Yeah. Oh, I didn't know that. We're talking about Steve.
Alright. Let's talk about Steve. Steve has he has a couple of different, social medias. He's got an Instagram and a TikTok. And every now and then, he'll show up, and he'll just be like, hey.
How's it going? And then he will just wait. Yeah. It's like he's listening. He's listening.
Yeah. And he's got, like, a cup of coffee or a cup of tea, and he's just listening. And sometimes I listen with him, and sometimes I tell him things about my day. Okay. Steve Burns has announced he announced yesterday that he is going to launch a podcast this fall called Alive.
Okay. And he said it's a it's for adults who grew up watching him, and it's gonna focus on what it means to stay human in a complicated world. And I love it. That's a good idea. I like it.
Yeah. He said there's a thousand podcasts that you can listen to, but this one listens back, and it really does. Interesting. Really listens back. Is that right?
Yes. So it was Steve, played by Steve Burns. Okay. He was the host for the show's first four seasons. And then Joe Joe.
That's right. The host for the fifth and sixth seasons. And then Josh wasn't me, played by Josh De La Cruz, and he was the host of is the host of the revival series, Blues Clues and You Oh. And the current host for the franchise. I didn't even know it was still Yeah.
Around. Mhmm. Well, that makes me happy that it's still around. I'm gonna have to watch it again. Yeah.
So Steve and then Joe and now Josh. Josh is there. Josh has a blue striped shirt. That's right. You crazy.
What? You crazy? So Steve Burns said, I just he goes, it's all about curious investigation. It's looking a little closer. It's about asking the right questions Okay.
About helping us find greater understanding. And he said, it's just a continuation. Only now we're grown ups. We're still learning. We're still searching.
We're still trying to connect. And I love it. I bet this podcast is gonna make me a little bit teary eyed sometimes. Probably will. And that's why I love it so much.
Look. I like Blue's Clues. I I like Steve. I think it sounds a little sleepy. Doesn't that sound great?
I mean, yeah. Not when I'm driving. Well, don't drive and listen to it. When I spend the most time with podcast. You could probably listen to it maybe while you're, like, tying flies.
And my That also sounds sleepy, and that's when I watch my fishing videos. Oh, so sorry. I didn't know you had a plan for everything. Just have to figure out when to fit a live into my life. I gotta figure that out too because there's a lot of other podcasts I like to listen to.
I don't have time for any of them. I get it. There's no time. I get it. There's never any time.
Anyway, I don't know when it's going to debut. I don't have a date. No. I don't have a date. Stay tuned.
Okay. I will and do Alive. Alive. With Steve. Oh.
What? Yeah. Some good news to get you going. You know how I do some hiking and some backpacking and stuff like that? I see some pretty amazing places.
Yeah. Like the Waterfall Canyon that I was in last weekend. Just gorgeous. Yes. Well, this this these are places that I can get to, and I'm grateful that I have my legs to carry me there.
And there are people that'll ride horseback to get in there and some different things like that. But there are places that you just some people can't see because of mobility issues and stuff. Right? Missouri Parks Association, has made a donation to the state, so that people with mobility challenges can be able to hit the trails at Missouri State Parks. They are action track chairs.
They're an all terrain wheelchair. Oh, cool. And they have, like, tank tracks on them. Like like, the ones you see you know, the the big yellow bus that goes into Yellowstone in the winter? Yeah.
It's got the big tracks on it. Yes. It's a wheelchair with, like, those on it. That's cool. Yeah.
So it's just unreal. They are rugged off road tank like wheelchairs that are available for use free of charge at six state parks across the state of Missouri, which is which is really cool. Park superintendent Chris Fritch, he said that the machines give people a sense of freedom, and he admits that he was amazed when he first saw what they are able to do on the rocky paths and forest trails. I think this is super exciting. Are the trails wide enough?
Or That's a big question because this thing is pretty wide. And I know that there are sections of trail that I was on that are not wide enough for this thing. Right. So it is not limited or it is limited to state park facilities, which is good because there might be some places within state parks they can control a little bit better. They can do trail maintenance a little bit better in in a place like that.
Where if you, if you go into the backcountry of just forest land, it's gonna be a little bit more difficult, to to get trail maintenance out there to be able to make it wide enough for this thing. It's super cool. Love. Kinda has, like, a big, rugged, kinda roll cage thing. So if things, you know, happen to go awry, it can it can balance a little bit.
It's battery powered, so it's, you know, it recharges, and it can get you all around the place, which I think is pretty awesome. So, anyway, no fees to reserve them. User must be 18 or older or accompanied by someone who is. And, that's what I know about that. That's very cool.
Yeah. Good job, Missouri. Yeah. Really, really cool. That is really, really cool.
And good news to get you going. I'm sorry. For what, Josh? Not letting you advance the show because I fell asleep in the same episode again. This is, this is out of character for me and very in character for you.
And so I feel bad because I know what it's like to be on the other side of this thing Okay. And having to watch the same thing over and over and over and over until you finally get through it. I'll work on getting through the episode of alone that I keep falling asleep in. I'll work on that at some point today. I wanted you to work on it yesterday.
Remember when I said I remember. Find out where you are Yeah. And I did while I do this other stuff. I was doing something else. Yeah.
It doesn't matter. It does matter. I fell asleep. Because when I came back in and you were still laying there, and I go, you didn't even you didn't even start the show? No.
I didn't. No. So I'm still on the same episode. What episode? Five?
Five. See, I knew. You made no audible noise, but your face went, ugh. Come on, man. I know.
There are things I need to see. I know. I like that show. Did you fall asleep also? Yeah.
Okay. Because I'd seen those same parts. I know. Well, it's just we should probably just start it earlier in the day. That sounds like a better idea.
We had we went on a walk. We got We did go on a walk. Dinner. There was a lot going on, so we just didn't get around to TV. I I have a guy I used to work with.
I can't figure out how he watches as much media. Like, he consumes so much stuff every day so that he can talk about it on on his show. Yeah. And I can't figure out where he gets the time. And he is ridiculous.
He wakes about, like, three Yeah. Or something ridiculous. He's like a a big gym guy. He does the cold plunge thing every day. He lives his life, does his show.
He goes in at, like, 04:00 in the morning to do his show. Ew. Gets done at, I assume, ten or so, and then has the rest of his day, but he's gotta have a life. He's got kids. He's got a wife.
He's got pets. He's got there's stuff to do. Yeah. He's got a house. Yeah.
I just don't understand how he's got time or where how he makes time. And then, like, he'll post videos on social media and stuff being out late at night. I'm like, how are you? And then waking up at 03:30 or three, you know, 04:00, whatever it is. Like, you're crazy.
I don't know. Maybe naps in there or something. He has to. He has to. I need to follow him around for a week Yeah.
Yeah. Yeah. Just to figure out his schedule. You wouldn't be able to keep up. I don't think.
No way. I don't think I would. And until it was like, alright. Now is designated nap, and I'd like, this is my favorite part. Nap time.
Right. Remember when I talked I think I talked either earlier this week or last week about businesses, like, their Gen Zers that want business to have nap pods. Yeah. I wanna nap. But here's the thing about napping at work.
What? It's a weird place to nap. That's why you have your own little pod. No. I get it.
Nobody bothers you. You go in. You shut the door. I know. But you're at work.
Yeah. Like, if if I was like, alright. Nap pod time in the middle of the show, the show ends. Like, the show doesn't the work doesn't continue. I'd have to wait until after the show and then be like, alright.
Twenty, thirty minute nap pod. Exactly. Or when you're in preschool Uh-huh. You display that your nap mats on the floor, and everybody's in the same room, and everybody's supposed to be taking a nap in the same room. That would be weird.
That's what I'm saying. It's at work. As adults, you're all in the same room. Like Yeah. Alright.
Everybody get out your nap pads. And the kids would nap, which also gave the, the adults a chance to catch up on things, you know, and and and get things ready for the next part of the day. Right. Who are the adults in this situation? I don't know.
Getting the stuff ready for the rest of the day. I still wanna know who's the adult in my life because I sure could use one. Call your mom. Say, mom. Come be my adult.
I need an adult. I need somebody to manage my stuff. Yeah. I'm done. There's no I'm done being that one.
Adults in my house. There should be. I Nah. I look like an adult, but I sure don't act like one. No.
That's no fun. It's way more fun just to no fun. Just to be young at heart, all free spirited or whatever it is. Yeah. Adulting.
Ugh. Yeah. Ugh. Sick. Yeah.
Who wants to do that? Adults? No. Girls. Ugh.
Eight days. Eight days. Can you believe it? No. I can't.
It's it's like a week from tomorrow. A little yeah. A a week and a day from tomorrow. Fourth of July, right around the corner, and the Idaho Falls Community Hospital Riverfest presented by Idaho Central Credit Union tagging go car wash and Riverbend Media Group is returning to the Snake River Landing in Idaho Falls on the July 4. That's right.
Remember to wear sunblock. That's a big deal. Remember to bring and drink water. Yeah. Remember to bring and drink lots of water.

It's gonna be awesome. Join us. Do it. Fourth of July is just eight days away. The latest trend on TikTok is gonna make you cry.
You love these. What? This one, you're gonna really love. This is a food. It's a food.
I don't talk about any of the crazy stunts that people do because I don't want people to try them. They're Okay. TikTok stunts are dumb. Okay. But Well, let's go on.
Food. Food. Alright. Raw onions. No.
A red onion specifically. Hold on. Okay. Go back to what you said at the beginning. What did I say?
The latest TikTok trend is gonna make you cry. Thanks. Onions. Thanks for remembering. Is that written somewhere?
Yeah. Don't do the puns. Come on. Okay. Raw red onion.
I hate red onion. Some people are just biting into them like an apple, which seems just more like a look how cool I am. That doesn't make you cool. Don't be dumb. But, really, like, others are being like, no.
No. No. No. Here's what you do. So you basically slice.
You got your onion. Right? You slice it horizontally. You take that whole stack of sliced onions. Right?
Your whole pad. Are you with me? Sure. You got a blank look in your eye. I'm trying to you said horizontally, but then your knife went vertically.
So I'm just trying to follow I'm just trying to figure out how you're cutting this onion. So go on. You're cutting it in half? Yeah. Not in half.
Like, you got, like, a slice, but the whole chunk of slice. This makes no sense. Go on. Josh. The layers.
You've got all the layers. It's unimportant. K. Then you add lemon juice on top, then you drizzle olive oil over it, salt, pepper, various spices like fresh dill or everything but the bagel seasoning, whatever whatever seasonings you like. Then you finish it off with capers.
No. I love capers. I love capers. I hate them. I love them.
No. I love them. I'm I'm struggling through just just going crazy on an onion, and then you added capers to it. K. Balsamic and some jalapenos for heat if you want.
If you're worried about, like, the crunch or the bite of the of the onion, then you can soak it in water first and then dry it off. I don't know if that reduces some of the acidity too. I'm not sure. And that's it. And then you eat it.
So you got your seasonings, your lemon juice, your olive oil. Capers, balsamic vinegar, jalapenos if you want them. Okay. I was watching this woman do this, and it actually looks pretty delicious. Okay.
But you're not cooking it at all? No. And you're pulling it apart like it's an artichoke. What? No.
You don't pull anything apart. What are you pulling apart? What? Let's go back to how you cut it. K.
Let me try you and tie it, Greg. That's okay. No. Because here's what I've got in my head, a blooming onion. No.
No. No. No. Because listen to me. Look at this.
If I if I take an onion before I see your wonderfully drawn diagram, if I take an onion and I cut off just the top part so it kinda falls open. Right? Now listen to me. Okay. That's what I'm gonna do.
I'm gonna do that so it falls open. K. Then I'll do all the seasonings and oils and whatever and what have you, and then I wanna wrap it in foil. Mhmm. And then I wanna set it on the Blackstone K.
So that it gets soft, soft in there. And then I'll just open up that steamy foil pack, and you can just take a fork and just pull soft cooked onion petals that are well seasoned. That's how I wanna do it. That sounds nice. Right.
Cooked. I don't want this raw onion, but I'm also not using a red onion. I don't I do not like red onion. No. You don't.
My favorite is a grilled red onion. Mhmm. Do you wanna grill some? I mean, I can for you. Yes.
Or teach you how to. You said you wanted to learn how to blackstone. Yeah. Teach me how to blackstone. Teach me how to blackstone.
Just teach me how to dougie. I know. I can't you you are you are a vocal stim person, and it goes this quick. Yeah. Okay.
Okay. Can I finish my diagram? Let's see it. K. Here's there's my onion.
Right? Where's the top and bottom? What what do you classify as a top and bottom? It's round. K.
There's a top and a bottom to an onion. So right here. There's a part where the roots grow down. That's the bottom. K.
And then the top has the little point to it where the little things little green things stuck out of the earth. K. Here's the top. Here's the bottom. I can't see it.
It's on its side. Oh. Then you take your knife and you slice down. So you're you're cutting off the top of the onion. Sure.
K? Then once you've sliced it, you've got your layers. That's what I said. You just have it on the side. That's exactly the same way I'm gonna cut it, but I'm gonna turn it so the bottom is down, and it opens like a bloom.
Are you gonna put capers inside of that? No. Capers are so good. No. They're not.
I never get capers because you don't like them. You can have them on whatever you want. What could I put them on? Whatever you think they're gonna be good on. Zero foods.
Everything. Capers. Yuck. Yum. Okay.
Are you saying you don't wanna try this onion? I wanna do it my way. I heard. Yeah. I don't want that gross red onion.
No. It looks good. I looked at the video. It looks pretty good. Much onion for a while.
A lot of onion. And you know what happens when I eat onions? Yeah. So here's the other thing about the onion. If you cut it my way, you can just put it in batter, and then you can fry it.
And then bada bang, you got yourself a blooming onion. You got an onion. Apart, and you yeah, I mean, that's what a blooming onion is, isn't it? It sure is. It's a it's a DIY onion ring.
I love onions. Onions do not love me. Well So get prepared for some No. Belching. I don't want it.
Let's talk about high school reunion. Sure. I have nothing to say. I've never been. I don't plan on ever going.
Yeah. You want to go. I think it would be, I think it'd be alright to bump into some old people. You bump into some of the I know. I I I like, even last night, we decided to walk the green belt, ran into a a friend of mine that I've I've known him since we were, in probably second grade.
I've known him for a long, long time. He attended my, my big sixth grade sleepover Oh. When I got to have, like, five or six, friends spend the night, which was a it was a big deal. Wow. That's crazy.
That was a big deal. There was arcade. There was pizza. There was sleepover. There was Nintendo games.
It was amazing. Yeah. It was a pretty big deal. Yeah. I ran into to, him and his his wife who also graduated high school with us, and anyway.
And we were talking about it because this weekend, there's, like, a get together kind of kinda sorta reunion. It's been twenty five years since I graduated high school. And, and we didn't have a twentieth because that was 2020. Yeah. And, and so everything kinda got pushed back and postponed and stuff.
Well, then they planned some stuff. Another friend of mine, sent me a text and said, hey. Are you going to the thing? And I I said, I don't even know about the thing. So I so I looked into the thing, and it's happening the exact same time I've got a live broadcast.
Friday and Saturday this week, tomorrow and Saturday. I'm at Wackerley Auto Center, and it's happening the exact same time on Saturday. So I'm unable to go, and they're doing, like, a school walk through thing, which I think sounds interesting. Do you? I haven't been back in there in a lot of years, and, and I feel like, the way it exists in my memories, it's grander.
It feels large. And I think walking through the halls, I'd be like, yeah. No. It's just a high school. Like, it's just the the same.
It's the same. It's just the same high school. Or maybe a few things might be different or whatever. But, that's that's kind of an interesting thing. And then they're doing, like, a, like, a food thing after, I guess.
We when I was in high school, we got a new high school when I was a senior. Uh-huh. So we Alright. We spent I think we moved halfway through my senior year. We moved to the new school.
So the school that I graduated from wasn't my school you Cool. Yeah. So did you did they turn the old high school into a junior high? They turned it into A little school? No.
I think it was a CSI, Oh. Like, offshoot thing. Oh, interesting. Like a like a remote campus. I couldn't think of the word.
Yeah. Yes. Uh-huh. Satellite campus. I don't know if that's true or if it's still what it is.
But they turned it into a different school, not like a junior high or anything. Yeah. So the school that I remember most doesn't exist as a high school anymore. So I would like to tour that school. Yeah.
Here's a fun story. Does this involve a clock? You have, like, two stories from high school. I already know this story. Yeah.
You do. You were proud of the fact that you were able to keep a clock from your old school. Yeah. Yeah. And I have it still?
Do I still have it? No. I might have thrown it away. Yeah. But that was it was kinda fun.
You had a school clock with, like, the little, like, secondhand that's real smooth. Not dent dent dent. Yeah. So listen. I if anyone who's, planning on going to the twenty five year reunion wants to, like, swing by Wackily, I'll be there.
Come test drive some, electric vehicles. They've got the Skyline High School class of 2020. It's class of February. Yes. Yeah.
It wasn't five years ago. It was twenty five years ago. It's real easy to remember because when you graduate, at the beginning of a new millennia, it's real easy to add up how many years since you graduate. Well, what year is it? Ah, twenty five years ago.
Anyway yeah. I mean, that's where I'll be. So if you wanna just swing by and test drive the Hummer or the, the Lyric is pretty rad, the, Cadillac. I mean, you can. I'll be there.
The idiot. Yeah. After you get done with the school walk through, come on over and test drive some cars. You know? It'd be pretty cool.
I don't know who's coming or, you know, anything like that. I it's kind of an interesting, an interesting time because I haven't seen a bunch of people that I hung out with. Like, people that I actually, like, were my friend group or whatever in high school. I haven't seen most of them since high school. I run into people that I knew.
And I knew I mean, it was a it's a small town. It's not like you can't know everybody. And when I flip through the the yearbook and go, yeah. Yeah. Yeah.
I know that person. I know that person. I know that person. It's kinda it's not hard to go, alright. Well, and you bump into people all the time.
I do. Yeah. There are people that moved away and came back. There are people that probably won't come back for the twenty five year reunion thing. My buddy that we ran into last night was saying that his his dad was, like, at his fiftieth class reunion, which that's gotta be maybe that's the thing.
Like, I don't think ten years is enough time. Right. Like, everybody's barely, like, starting life. Like, you're still not 30, like, you know? And then you get to 20, and then you get to 25 here.
Like, 25 is kind of a milestone. Yeah. It's a pretty big one. And then the further you go, like, typically, the smaller your class size gets because people move away or or, you know, life happens. Or don't wanna show up.
Or yeah. Or they just don't wanna go. Yeah. And there are never. There are absolutely people that are like, I have no reason to go back.
No reason to go back to my high school reunion. I won't. I won't ever. I'm just curious to see because it's funny how, 40 year olds sort of look like they did in high school, but don't. You go like, you're the same, but also older.
Like, what happened? It's super funny. How I remember you in my memory. And we're all bald, so that's fun. We all have that going for girls?
No. Just the dudes. Just bunch of bald dudes. Because apparently, something happened in the early eighties in the in the water, and we all went bald. Oh.
I don't know why, but that's, like, a lot of us. If you have a full head of hair and you graduated in February, something's up with you. Yeah. I was. You're not originally from here.
I don't know what it is. Anyway, I'm a little I'm a little bummed that I that I can't go because I've got, you know, another place to be. But, anyway, that's okay. I think you'll be okay. I will be fine.
I will be okay. You made a delicious chicken and veggie dinner last night that neither one of our children wanted to eat. And then we got in trouble because we assumed that our fifteen year old daughter was not gonna like the chicken and veggie. She I understand. Said earlier that she wasn't gonna eat it.
I know. Because when she heard about what it was, she said, oh, I'm not hungry tonight, which she does. That's what she'll go. I'm not hungry. Pretty standard.
No. That just means you don't wanna eat what we made. And so then she's, well, what's for dinner tomorrow? And, and it's I'm excited for dinner tonight because it's like Greek, meatballs with a tzatziki sauce. Yeah.
Let's go. It's super yummy. Like, I'm really looking forward to it. And she goes, I'm not gonna be hungry tomorrow either. So she's already said this.
So we've we I finished dinner. We get it out of the oven. I got this whole big, like, roasted veggies and garlic chicken and super yummy. And, clean up dinner, put it all away. And, the kids were off doing their own thing.
And They typically do these days. So then we said, well, we're done. Let's go for a walk. We're gonna do this. We said, hey.
We're going for a walk. Nobody wanted to join. We're off. We're doing our thing. We walk the Green belt.
We get home. She's upset because she hasn't had dinner because she didn't wanna eat the dinner we had. Right. But then was also upset that we didn't say, hey. Dinner's done because she'd already said, I'm not gonna eat.
Yeah. She wouldn't have eaten it. She wouldn't have. Right. Plus they're off doing their own thing.
But she also was hungry, so she was hangry. Right. And then she didn't wanna put forth any effort into making herself something. Correct. And I said, well, this is just teenager behavior.
Yeah. I'm not making you anything. Right. I made dinner. I'm done.
Stuff is put away. Yeah. You're 15. You know how to make you know how to make food. There's chicken?
Yeah. Oh, put it in the air fryer. Right. Macaroni and cheese. Right.
Go make it. We have other food. Peanut butter and jelly. She finally settled on Warm up and uncrustable. Oatmeal.
Yeah. She decided to have oatmeal for dinner. Hey. It's got it's got some, health benefits to it. That's fine.
But then, she wanted to make it with milk instead of water. She wanted to do it with, like, a steamed milk. I think she was just happen? No. I think she was just confused because I always used to put milk in it.
I see. But she thought that I'd made the entire thing with milk. And I said, no. I make it with water, and then I pour a little milk in it once it's done. I see.
So did she have it that way? Yes. Did she enjoy it? I don't know. I went to bed.
Oh, this is what was happening when I was supposed to be watching the TV show that I didn't turn on because I was talking about the night shift. Spot where you're at. Yeah. Can't believe it. Yeah.
Okay. Now I get it. So I helped her heat up the water, and I said, there you go. Pour a little milk in there. You're set.
And she goes, okay. Thanks. And I said, okay. Good night. Enjoy your dinner of oatmeal Yeah.
At 10:00 at night. Yeah. Great. 10:00 o'clock. It's the perfect time.
As you do when you're 15 years old and you don't wanna eat delicious chicken and vegetables. Right. It was good. It was. I was very impressed.
I was a little nervous because I didn't have all the right seasonings, so I was kinda sorta making it up. Plus, I hate measuring out seasonings, so I was kinda eyeballing a few things. And I thought it turned out nice. Turned out delicious. Yeah.
I was not upset. The, the sweet potatoes in there were very good. So good. Yeah. And they were nice and soft, so I was you know, they weren't, like, underdone.
I was real happy with how it turned out. Really happy? I was. I was real happy. Yep.
Are you eating those leftovers for lunch today? I kinda forgot them at all. Oh, well. Well, well, well. You gonna eat those leftovers tomorrow?
No. I I that's why I know. Now we just have leftovers. What's gonna happen with them? They'll probably just get thrown away.
That's what'll happen. How many days until the July 4? Eight. Okay. For the past three weeks, I've been saying, oh, I gotta get my fourth of July decorations down.
Oh, I gotta get my fourth of July decorations down. There's eight days. Yeah. Now I feel like it's It's too late? It's too late.
It's not worth it now. And it makes me kind of sad. Okay. And the thing is I have really cute fourth of July decorations. Yeah?
Cute ones. Yeah? Fireworks, I've made. Uh-huh. I was gonna make those cool little fireworks.
That go? I forgot. You were really excited about that. Excited. Yeah.
I forgot about it. Maybe next year. Chantel Good Intentions. Come It's my middle name. Come on.
It really has been on my to do list for weeks upon weeks. Yeah. Get down fourth of July. Is is this why you were like, hey. Maybe this weekend, I'll clean the garage.
I mean, part of it for sure. Because you never, in that whole conversation, said, and I'll get down the fourth of July decorations. No. I the garage needs to be cleaned. And every time I go out there, I go, ugh.
I just I know. It's not even that big of a mess. No. It just needs organized. Stuff just to be out of place.
And, like, everything needs to be moved, and it needs to be swept, and it just needs to be put away from you. Looking at, like, floor treatments because I was thinking, man, it would be nice to, like, seal the floor and make it really nice in there. Yes. Just haven't been motivated. Why?
I've been super busy and tired, and I have a backpacking trip. And the July 4 is in eight days. I just you know? Here's the thing about you, Josh, what I know Yeah. Is that when you're motivated, you're like, let's get it done.
Let's do it. You're Steam train. You are You want to know. Or you don't even stop to eat sometimes. And I'm like, I'm hungry.
Are you hungry? And you're like, no. I just wanna get finished. Right. You can go go go until it's done.
Yeah. But if I'm not motivated Yeah. Nothing gets done. Bothered. Yeah.
And I usually just follow along with whatever you're doing. Like, here's here's the thing. Like, I I've got my my Rolly tool chest, my toolbox. Yeah. I would like to be able to access it better.
I would like to organize it. I'm gonna need to, like, get some organization stuff to make it, like, the way it's supposed to be. I'm missing a couple of tools that I'd like to replace. So there's a few things where I'm like, okay. If I can commit to this, then I could actually, like, make this whole space really nice, and and I'd be able to have things the way I want them.
Absolutely. I can't get motivated. I know. What's where's your motivation? Where'd it go?
How do we get it? It's summertime. I know. I wanna go fishing. I wanna go camping.
I wanna go bike riding. I wanna do all the hobbies. I wanna do all the things. Cleaning the garage sounds like awful. It does sound like awful.
And so I don't wanna do it. I know. But imagine how amazing it would be when it's done. I've gotta go to the buy a shelf, and I've gotta go buy a bunch of totes that are gonna sit on the shelf because I really want it. And we need a labeler.
Did you hear about that? No. Oh, yeah. You might you might hate that. I do like a labeler.
I know. You're but, see, I also in doing the shelf and the totes organization thing in the garage, I also want all of the stuff up top in matching sized totes as well. But here's the thing. Labeled. I think this is why.
I think you're looking at it as this huge big project. It is. And, like, it all has to be done at once. No. But what I think you need to do is baby step it.
I get it. But but in my head, I go, okay. If I'm going to do the floor, everything has to go out. No. That's true.
And then I have to do the floor and then bring everything in organized and nice. Yeah. I gotta pull a shelf. I gotta pull the kayaks out. I wanna paint the wall.
It's like it just keeps going and going and going, and I wanna do, yeah, I wanna do the whole project so that when I'm done, I go, look at my amazing garage. Yeah. But you have to baby step it because it's too much to do all at once, and that's why you're not finding your motivation because you're looking at it as this big project instead of baby steps. Yeah. Maybe.
That might be it. It is it. Maybe. Steps at it just one step at a time. Uh-huh.
What's that song? I don't know. One step at a time. I don't know that song. Seven seven No.
No. No. No. That's my favorite part. No.
No. No. No. That's the good part of that song. Anyway yeah.
It's gotta happen. That's all. I think it's a Selena Gomez song. Cool. No.
It might not be. Yeah. Probably not. We were talking about being so busy I can't focus on projects like the garage and stuff, or that I just don't want to. I haven't even played my game on my phone in a while.
Oh, that's okay. I know. But, like, I I I've been super, like, preoccupied by other stuff. There's a guy I gotta tell you about. K.
This guy is named Tiago p. Tiago, last name, p, whatever it is. K. From Portugal. And, this guy just won $500,000 and a custom diamond encrusted championship ring.
He is the champion of the five week long candy crush mobile game tournament. Oh my gosh. This is crazy. That is crazy. How much did he win?
$505,100,000 dollars in a custom diamond encrusted championship ring. He beat more than 15,000,000 global players dude. To become the 2025 Candy Crush all star champion. How does it work? Candy Crush?
Well, it's this game where you match three candies. The competition itself. So, apparently Is it like a tournament style? Well, yeah, it's a tournament. Like a twelve hour tournament.
Was five weeks. Five weeks. A five week Candy Crush Saga mobile game tournament came to an end, and this guy, Tiago p from Portugal won. Apparently, he had to do the last round, the last level of the game live in Los Angeles, and he beat out 15,000,000 hopeful players competing in the game tournament. That's insane.
The 10 finalists went to the live event in LA where they completed they competed it on the last level. He won, and he got $500,000 and that ring. Second place was Ingrid r from California who got $250,000, and then, Elijah b from Atlanta was third and got a $100,000. So maybe I should get back into playing the game is what I'm saying. Because if they were like, here we go.
You got a chance to win $500,000. I mean, you know, I play a lot. I could use $500,000. That's what I'm saying. That's a lot of cashola for a Candy Crush game.
That's what I'm saying. Provide you the money. Candy Crush. The game. Yeah.
Why does Candy Crush have $500,000? Do you know how much money they make every minute? No. Tons. Oh, guys.
Stop playing Candy Crush. Go do something else besides out. How much money does Candy Crush make? Candy Crush generated over $20,000,000,000 in lifetime revenue since its launch. In 2023, the game generated $1,240,000,000.
Holy heck. There's no there's no problem with them giving away $500,000. They'd give away $2,000,000. They could. That's insane.
$1,000,000,000 is 1,000 millions. Hey, candy crushers. Stop it. They've made 20,000,000,000 lifetimes since its launch. That's incredible.
Guess who doesn't play Candy Crush? Neither of us. This gal. Yeah. Take a look at this.
What is it? Can you see it? No. Look. What is it?
Can you see? What am I looking at? You're gonna have to get up. Look at my neck. Oh, no.
I know. That's a big one, dude. Know. You said it wasn't that big. No.
I said it's huge. Well, well, you said it was little at first, but now you it's that. Listen. I know. I know.
You gotta get a cold spoon. Is that what is that the trick? I think. I don't know. I put ice on it this morning.
I was curling my hair this morning Yes. And it slipped and it barely I'm not even kidding you. A half a second Yeah. Got my neck. You have, like, the hottest curling iron I've ever seen in my life.
Standard. How hot is that thing? 360. 280. Normal?
I think so. I don't know. It's huge. We're gonna have to take a picture and post it on the Internet. Oh, I'm gonna post it on the Internet and see if anybody's got some tricks to help it go down.
It's bad. So it says fine or thin hair should be styled at a lower temperature around two to 300 degrees, while thicker, coarser hair can tolerate higher temperatures, three fifty to four fifty. That's an oven. I've got thick hair. That's an oven.
Yeah. You can bake a pizza with that thing. Yeah. It's hot. I know.
Look at my neck. That's like touching the heating element in an oven. And I immediately put ice on it. I had ice in my water bottle. The right thing to do?
I don't know. I don't know. It's so bad, and it hurts. And it's ugly. Look.
Like, I'm gonna have to wear my hair down forever and always until it heals. Here's what it says online. Okay. You should immediately cool the burn with cool running water for ten to twenty minutes. Oh, I didn't do that.
And then apply a thin layer of Vaseline and a sterile nonstick bandage. Oh, I don't have Vaseline or a sterile nonstick bandage. Yeah. Avoid popping any blisters and consider using over the counter pain relievers if needed. Protect the area from the sun as it heals to minimize scarring.
Dude, that's a big one. I know. Do you? Yeah. I've been looking at it all morning, like, trying to hide it.
Because then people are gonna think it's something that it's not. You know what I mean? Why I said get a cold spoon. I know that people think that that's the cure for it. For the hickey thing.
Kissing. Yeah. Neck kiss. Yeah. People are gonna be like, oh, no.
It's hickey. And I'm gonna be like, this, Who's got a mouth that big? First of all That is wild. Of all, I've been married twenty years. The days of of Hickey's are long gone.
I mean, it's pretty gnarly. It is gnarly. Yeah. I know. Gnarly even.
There's gotta be a way like, can you get, like you know how they make that heat glove? Can you get a heat collar? Oh. So that you can wear that while you're doing your hair so that you don't Slip. Get the neck burn thing?
How long does it say it'll take to heal? Four months. No. I don't know what it does it say. Four months, I'll have three more burns.
How long does it take for a curling iron burn to heal? First degree burns, which only affect the top layer of the skin, typically heal within a few days. Okay. Second degree burns, which involve deeper skin layers, can take a few weeks. In some cases, scars can remain for months.
I feel like you barely touched it. You're yeah. I don't think you went deep or burnt. Like, it barely. Then once it's filled with usually heals within three to seven days with proper care.
Okay. I do have very sensitive skin, though, especially on my neck. Yeah. My neck skin is real sensitive. Yeah.
Second degree burns can, take up to three weeks to to heal. Third degree burns require immediate medical attention. No. It's not a third degree. That's where you'd have to have, like, skin grafts and things.
Okay. I'm gonna take a picture and get some home remedies from No. You you're gonna you're gonna post a picture of your neck burn. Yeah. Why?
Uh-uh. I don't wanna see it. You're looking at it right now. I'm not. I can't see it from here.
I'm gonna show you all day. I don't wanna see it. Too bad. Look at it. No.
Look at it. Nope. Gonna make you touch it. No. I don't wanna.
Keep it to yourself. Nope. All day. Just ask the question without posting the the graphic imagery of your neck burn. It's not that graphic.
It's just gross. Gonna say. It's It's not like a hand cut open with stitches. No. It's gross.
Like that. It's just a neck burn. Oh, you're making me feel all sensitive about it. Oh, no. Let me see it.
No. I don't wanna. I just found out about something kinda cool Tell me. That is happening in Pocatello. It is happening July.
They have been working on all of the neon signs and stuff in Old Town. Oh. And they are doing a, first annual neon fest. Oh, cool. Yeah.
So for a couple of nights on that Friday and Saturday, they're doing, like, an art walk thing, which is cool. It has a big neon theme. And then there will be, the the, Chief Theater sign. Remember we went to the lighting of that when they first Yeah. Brought that back?
Yep. So that sort of, like, kicked off this, like, let's bring back all the neon signage of old into Old Town Pocatello. And, it's really super cool. It's really cool. So on the twelfth, they have the Idaho motel sign that will be relit.
It's been, it's been, like, rebuilt entirely, and it's gonna be at Lookout Point, is where they're gonna do the relighting, which will be really, really cool. And then, after they do that, they're showing the movie Cars on the stage. They've got a band that's playing, before they do the relighting thing. So they got a whole bunch of stuff going on, with this. And if you want more details, obviously, you can go to the Historic Downtown Pocatello Facebook page.
That's where I was just reading up about all of this. But I know that they, they've been working a lot to get neon brought back to Old Town, and it shows. Every store you go by, every like, we went down we went down there and did an antique shopping kinda tour thing and hit up a bunch of the shops, and they all have, like, really cool neon Super cool. All over the place. I was just reading some stuff that said that fundraising is still underway to cover the remaining cost of the motel sign restoration.
Oh, okay. And donations can be made online or by mail. Oh, okay. Yeah. So historically down the night pocatello.com.
Yeah. Donation. Yeah. Really cool. And I like the I like that thing that they're doing because, all that neon signage is really, really cool and historic looking.
And, and, it has a name, something with a g, and I can't think of what it is. But, that particular art style, that that motif, if you will, is Graphics. Is very cool. No. It's not graphics.
Graphite. It's, no. It's something else. Gravy. No.
Like, you you know, I like art deco is a thing. Yeah. Like, the neon signage of, like, the fifties has a name, and I can't think of what it's called. Gravy. Gravy?
Is it gravy? It's not gravy. I'm looking at, historic downtown pocatello.com. Relight the night is the website that they have, and they've got all of the signs that they have. They're really cool.
Some of these signs are really cool. The Idaho the Idaho TV, is that the one the motel one? The Idaho Hotel. Yeah. Oh, is that Is that what you're talking about?
It must be the motel. It just says TV in the corner. There's, like, the shape of Idaho. I haven't seen it. I I don't know.
Maybe that's what it is. I haven't seen the Idaho. The bus depot one is super cool. The bus depot one with the Greyhound is super cool. This is cool.

It's like the it's like the wizard in The Wizard of Oz. Just behind the curtain just banging on stuff. Go, okay. That's gonna be $6,000. And I go Thank you.
No. For the guy in the hammer? Yeah. What The guy banging his hammers needs to get paid. So this is kind of interesting.
What if what if you didn't have to have the bulky MRI machine? What if you could have, like, a brain scan and you didn't have to do all that? That would be awesome. Yeah? There are sometimes I have to be in the MRI machine for three hours.
Yeah. For a long I it's been three hours before. And I've taken naps in there, which is unheard of because I don't know how. All those hammers back? I know.
It's just because you have to lay still, and there's nothing to do. And then you go, I've counted all of the dots on this machine. Yeah. There were two. Oh, good.
So researchers, have successfully beamed light all the way through a man's head. Is that safe? Well, here's the here's the deal. It is real science, and it is a major breakthrough. In the University of Glasgow in Scotland, they used a powerful, but safe laser to send light from one side of a man's skull to the other.
And the idea is to safely improve brain imaging. And if this techniques technique works, it could eventually allow doctors to scan deeper brain regions without MRI machines. Fascinating. Right. I like the idea of it.
I don't I'm still not quite convinced it's safe. It's a laser. Is a bunch of magnets and a guy with a hammer safe? I don't know. I I think this is really super interesting, though.
And I don't know if it's like they don't show what the laser looks like. Like, is it a helmet that has the lasers attached Yeah. Or whatever? I don't know. I don't know how it all works, but it's a new technique for noninvasive brain imaging, that shines light all the way through the head from one side to the other, which I think is really interesting.
But with if if if they replace the MRIs and they go to this laser scanning thing Mhmm. What about my warm blanket? Okay. Alright. That's a big concern.
I understand. I get you. I follow what you're saying. I don't have an answer for you. Give me a warm blanket in the MRI machine.
Everything I know, I have told you. Except the one time they forgot to give me a warm blanket, and I said, hey. Hey. Hey. Hey.
I need my cozy blanket. And then I froze in the MRI machine. Yeah. Sad. Oh.
Cold and lonely and dark. No warm bling. I had to lay still. Oh. Stupid.
Sounds like a preschool nap, which is, kinda how we started the show. Yeah. Yeah. Right. The show with that.
