Full show transcript:
To kick off the show, Chantel, I want to give a shout out to Alexa. The OG, Alexa. The OG, not the Amazon, Alexa.
No, no. We got an OG over here. We got an OG, yeah.
Alexa, thank you so much for your email. We got that yesterday. We were at home. We were both so excited to hear from you and the great work that you're doing. Thank you for sharing the show with other folks. We really appreciate it.
And thank you for the kind email. Really brightened up our evening. That was really awesome. So thank you, Alexa, who is claiming to be our number one fan.
Oh. I know, giving Carter a run for his money. Listen, I'm just amazed that we have any listeners in her. Okay, okay. Well, anyway, thank you, Alexa. Really appreciate it.
If you'd like to email the show, you can wake up Classy97 at gmail.com. So a couple of years ago, you remember that I got really excited. There was a local restaurant that was doing a soup competition. And you and our daughter got very excited about ordering the soups, trying the soups, rating the soups, putting the soups in a specific order. I remember that, yeah.
They're doing that again. I signed me an email for it. I asked if you wanted to participate. You said no.
Like, because you're some kind of weirdo that doesn't like soup. No, it's fine. I'll just watch you do it.
Okay. When are you doing it? It is the 17th.
So it's in a couple of weeks. But I signed us up and then I texted Emory and said, because she and I both love soup. We could eat soup every day. And I texted her and said, hey, I signed us up for that soup thing again.
And she went, yay. Awesome. We're about to have a soup, boss. In 10 days. Yep. 10 days from today.
We're about to have a soup, boss. Good for you. Thank you.
I hope it's everything that you expected to be. You know why? Why? Because it's four different soups that I get to eat. Cool. And then I get to rate them.
And I like rating things. Are they the same soups? No different soups.
What are you talking about? Are they the same soups as last year? No, different. Different soups?
Different soups. Well, it wasn't last year either. It was a couple of years ago. And did you say soups? Soups. S-O-U-P-T-H? Soup.
Soup. Okay. Got it. Soup done. All right. Nah. Hey, the show's on.
Here's today's show. Hey there. Hi there. Oh, hey, oh, hi, hello. That's a, do you remember that song? Nah. That's a song for people who know about daycare. Is that right? Or rather, like, a song about daycare.
No. There's a guy who sings, he sings kids songs. If that was the last name, it was Kenny. No.
Or Kenny. No. No? I know who you're talking about. Didn't we see him once?
We did see him. Jim Gill. That's his name. That's his name.
Jim Gill is the best. Yeah. And he sings a song. Oh, hey, oh, hi, hello. Uh-huh. Okay. And so that's. And many others. Yeah, he does. Yeah, I remember that. Uh, hi. Hello. Uh, what do you think? What do I think about what? This room.
It looks cool. I spent extra time yesterday. Uh, I was here late. I was late picking up our daughter from school. All because I was trying to get this rearranged a little bit so that, uh, so that we could be across from each other as usual, but have a clear path of sight to see more than just eyes.
Right. Because before there was a computer blocking three quarters of your face. So I kind of had to like lift my head up a bit to see, this will be good for my neck. I can just chill and relax and look at your face. Wow. Just laid back.
Layed back. All right. Well, uh, so that's, that happened, uh, which was good. So I felt accomplished. Although it took me a pretty good portion of the day because I had to, I had to drill new holes. I had to solder wires. I had to do a lot of stuff, uh, to make all of this happen.
So here we are. I've never soldered a wire. Do you want to know? No. Do you know what you have to do? Nope. Do you want to know? No.
Okay. I just realized that was something I've never done and something I probably won't ever do and I'm okay with that. I mean, I thought the same thing until I did it. How did you learn how to do it?
Well, I learned a long time ago. Probably when I was in junior high is the first time I soldered. And then because I was in, I was in a very interactive shop class.
That's cool. We did plastic injection molding. We did spot welding. We did electrical work. We did all kinds of stuff in that class. They had a radio studio, they had a TV studio. It was a very, very interactive program.
I programmed on CAD, on an old Apple computer, a lot of stuff. No, what you're talking about? Yeah. We did a lot in that class.
Well, that's cool. The teacher, he always had NASA, the NASA channel up on the TV. So they're constantly rockets landing and taking off and that was fun. I guess the rockets weren't landing. The space shuttles were landing.
The rockets took off. You know what I'm saying. Very, very cool class. So yeah, I've been soldering for a while. Congrats. Yeah.
As far as like doing it in work environment, I've been doing it for a long time. But if I had to guess, probably since 2006, that's a good guess. Good guess, I guess. So 20 years of soldering. Well, congratulations. Mike cables, not anything complex, like three prong, Mike cables. Pretty cool.
Why do you have to solder them? Oh, you want to find out? No, I regret asking.
Move along. Well, do you see the plugs on the ends of the cables? Those don't attach themselves. There's there's this black wire that runs from the microphone. This plug right here has to be soldered.
It's all right. And this wire has a plug at that end has to be soldered on. OK, thanks.
You're welcome. Hey, some good news. This is one of the one of the stories we come across like, I don't know, a few times every five years. And this is happening right now. And you can be a part of it if you want. Well, let me tell you the story. And then you decide if you're going to be able to be a part of it. You're not.
But when you decide. Officials at Norfolk International Airport in Virginia are trying to get the help of social media to track down the owner of a very special lost item, a teddy bear. I saw this yesterday.
Yeah. So airport staff say the bear, it looks like a custom build a bear workshop creation. It was dropped off at the airport's lost and found last week and no one has come to claim it. So we have a found bear.
We have a lost kid. Yeah. I would assume here. In a Facebook post, the airport shared a photo of the bear with a simple plea. It says, can you help me find my owner? They're hoping the bear might be registered with its owner's name through Build a Bear, which could help reunite the two soon. But they have yet to have anyone step forward and say, hey, that's my bear. The bear is wearing cute little pajamas and bunny slippers. And is trying to find its owner. I believe it has a plush bunny as well. Yeah, it is.
I saw the picture. Yeah, it is. Yeah, it is. Yeah. Cute little bear.
I know. He's so sad in the low. Lost his way. He needs his owner. So if you if you know anything or know anybody, maybe you were traveling in the area, there's a chance that we can reconnect the Norfolk International Airport in Virginia with the person who has lost their bear. Somebody's very sad. I know somebody is. Listen, I saw it. I've seen this circles through social media and on the internet like crazy. So that bear is going to get found. I know it.
It reminds me of that book, Nuffle Bunny by Mo Willems. Oh, yeah. Yeah. Do you ever read that book to your kids?
Two hour kids? Mm hmm. I don't. I guess not. It's not really sticking out.
I read a lot of hop on pop. Nuffle Bunny was a bunny that was left at the airport and they couldn't find him. Well, then they did find him.
Very, very reminiscent story. That's what I'm saying. Yeah, you are correct. Well, anyway, that's potential for some extremely good news. Right now, bear is found. Good news. OK, this one comes from the file of things I'm not necessarily OK with.
I'm not. Plastic surgery in general as a as a I just want to get plastic surgery. I guess like I was in an accident and have to have some reconstructive plastic surgery totally makes sense. But as a recreational thing, I go, what are we doing? And maybe I'm wacky or maybe I'm just an old funny, dirty dude. But this seems strange to me.
Let's hear it. People are doing what they're calling a lunchtime lift because it's an outpatient thing under general anesthesia. They're going in and getting a bunch of fat injected.
That fat, however, donated human fat from people who have recently passed away. What are they? Where are they getting their fat injections?
Oh, thank you for asking. Brazilian butlifts, smoothing out hips, like they're getting like large amounts of this put in to like fill cellulite like all that like they're injecting recently deceased human fat into their body. Now, the plastic surgeons that do this apparently can't keep it in stock because it's like insanely popular.
And because it is an outpatient thing under general anesthesia and only cost $10,000 only, they're like blown through this donated fat. What? Yeah. I think that's my problem.
You got donated fat. I think people have like someone sneaking in the night. Yes.
Injecting you injecting fat. Is that what's happened? Is that right?
I think so. Oh, well, scoop. Mr. It's solved. Wow. Ruh, row.
Funny. I just I'm first of all, don't do this. We don't need to do this. We don't need to. We don't need to lift and plump and shape. Let's just be no be yourself.
Be happy with yourself. Oh, excuse me. What? Yeah, you can see my whole face now. Yeah, you want me to put the computers back so you can't see my whole face. Go like I'm not happy with myself. Sure thing. Pass along the advice.
Anyway, the procedure is called aloe clay, a l l o c l a e and demand is just exploding for this right now. What if they run out of fat? They won't be able to do it anymore. Tell somebody I mean, I hope they're getting donated and not just like taking it. Right.
That's that was also my concern. It's a revolutionary sterile injectable donor derived fat tissue used as a structural filler for body contouring, providing volume and support. In areas people put in their hands without the need for liposuction or downtime associated with traditional fat grafting because they aren't moving it from part of your body into other parts of your body. It's donated.
They got buckets of it. It sounds like an Olympic sport. Fat grafting later tonight on the Olympics.
Fat grafting. Strange. Quite. I'm not.
I don't have $10,000 to do that. Would you if you did? No. Good answer.
I like it. I don't want fat injections. I want fat outjections. I think that's what they're called. But OK. Go get your outjections.
Yes. Where's that outpatient surgery? Where they take it?
I don't know. Listen, I'll donate some fat. You can have mine. Pay me for it. Pay me. You can give me the $10,000. You can have all my fat for 10,000.
But a being you better get more than 10,000. Why? Because that's one person I bet. I bet it takes more than. Like one donated fat is not one per. It's not one to one ratio. I think it's probably a one to maybe a five ratio. That I don't know. That seems about right.
Because you're not taking all the fat. OK, hold on. You know how like you have to match blood types to.
Sure. Organs and stuff. Yeah, you got to match fat type.
Yeah. What if my body doesn't? Like what if somebody goes in for an injection and their body doesn't respond to that person's fat? Rejects the fat.
I reject the fat. The Consumer Electronics Show. Oh, I've always wanted to go to that. I knew you would. Yeah.
Was in Vegas. The coolest and weirdest product. OK.
This year. Lollipops that play music. What do we need that for? Each flavor plays a different song using bone conduction technology. The music plays inside your head.
And you can only hear it when you bite down. Yeah, haven't they done that with there's some other things they've done that with that there's some other foods that do that. Oh, serious? Yeah.
Nine dollars each for each lollipop. Color changing fingernails, a company called iPolish. Press on nails that change colors with a special device that you have to buy. OK. You can choose from 300 different shades. That's a lot. Do you need that many different colors?
No, three or not three hundred ninety five dollars. Company called Vinibot has digital picture frames that can talk and have conversations with you. They were inspired by the talking paintings in Harry Potter. Checks out. That's three hundred dollars. Vibrating kitchen knives.
Why? This has to be something for folks, maybe that have some sort of impairment. It says they vibrate 30,000 times per second to cut through stuff more easily. All right, that's not what I thought. Never mind. We don't need that. OK. A.I. powered hair clippers.
You choose a style in the app like no cut or side part and the blade automatically adjusts while you use it. Yeah, no, it's not that. That thing is going to come alive. Yeah, no, I'm not putting my head in that thing.
No, I don't trust that. This one, that one was also at last year's show, so it hasn't really hit the ground running. Yeah. Gaming headphones that read your mind. That read your mind. Yeah. What does that mean?
They scan your brain waves to track focus, reaction speed and cognitive load. Oh, boy. I'll tell you two days back at work, I've got a cognitive load. I can't even work anymore.
You lack a cognitive. You know, they would scan and go, nothing going on. There's so much going on. It's been busy back at work.
That's what I'm saying. You have a cognitive overload. Yeah. Yeah, OK. All right. Just trying to keep up.
Hold on. Does your list have the robot? The GR three humanoid robot that vacuum? No, OK, a robot. No, OK. No. So last year, they introduced this little tiny robot guy about this big. OK. You know what I'm saying? Like a plushie size. OK. And then this year, they showed up with a full size.
Yeah, that's cool. You haven't even listened. I'm still listening. Lego Smart Blitz Bricks. I was going to talk about the Lego Smart Bricks yesterday.
OK. I did a lot of research on it because I was trying to figure out what gives Lego. What's this thing all about? Why? Because I couldn't understand what it did. Like the only thing they were showing me was that it could change color.
And then now I understand it. It has a lot of science built into it. It has near filled technology built into it. So when you put other figures near it that have this technology, it knows what many figures are there.
Really? It can make things make sound based on like accelerometers and and like gyros. The thing has a ton of technology. Yeah, including and it lights up in different colors.
It's got LED in there. They're really cool. And and Lego itself to geek out just for a minute. They have been really heavily involved in not just the create, use your imagination, build something or buy one of our kits and build, you know, a set from a movie or whatever. They also have done a lot in like robotics and programming and engineering and stuff with several different things. So this being now we're going to get into like super programming stuff, which is really cool. That's going to take that's going to take off. That's going to be really big. I love that. There's also a toilet that will call for help.
It's for seniors for the person using it. Yes, I thought maybe it was like, hey, I got too much water. I'm overflowing. Oh, no, help. I was trying to figure out what the help that was going for.
If a senior doesn't use it for eight hours, it alerts their family in case they fell or need help. That's it. Really interesting. There's AI mirrors.
What do you need your makeup and they scan your face to monitor your health? There's a robot vacuum that climbs stairs. I saw that guy.
He's pretty cool. And then a clip on device that remembers your conversations. It clips onto your shirt and it can summarize work calls or settle an argument with your spouse. Oh, great.
When he says, no, that's not what I said. And then I say, roll tape. Roll tape. Yeah. Except sometimes I don't want to roll. Yeah. Most times you don't because I go, no, that's not what happened. We both know it, but you just don't know it yet. Interesting.
There you go. Lot of new gadgets. That's the newest and greatest gadgets. I don't think I want any of them. The Lego ones are the things that. The Lego smart brick is really cool. Yeah. I'm not putting my head into the AI powered hair clippers.
No, I don't want to talk to my digital picture frame. What about the the vacuum, though? That actually because it would just clean the house. You'd always have clean floors.
No, it doesn't vacuum for you. It just climbs stairs. Well, it's like a it's like a normal. It'll move up the stairs for you, but it's just a normal. It's a normal.
That's not it. Robot. I was thinking it was going to be like the Roomba. But it could also go upstairs. The Roomba is an automated robot. OK.
Vacuum's your house for you. Yes, true. It does.
I was thinking of our, I don't know, we have a Kirby and it's heavy. Yeah. I always spent a lot of money on it. And it has a lifetime warranty.
That's right. So we can't ever get rid of it. It's an heirloom now. I know, but it's heavy. And so the fact that it could walk up the stairs. Man, oh, man.
Well, it's not an add on to your existing vacuum. I know, I know. It's its own thing.
I know. That'd be nice to have. I could use a Roomba. They would just live in the basement.
Why would it? And then we would get one upstairs. And then the only thing you'd ever have to vacuum is the stairs.
Bedrooms. No. What?
It goes everywhere. I know. Let's do it. Let's get one. They're real expensive. I know. OK. Josh, what's the worst pain you've ever felt?
On a scale of one to ten. I had some of the most excruciating tooth pain. What, a year or so ago? Yeah.
It was a little over a year ago. Tooth pain is the worst. Unreal. And it was like I had to get my wisdom teeth taken out.
Like this was all just last year. Not 25. It was late 24.
Holy cow. Was I in pain? Like debilitating.
No, I know. Couldn't do anything but just be a lump of pain. Bad. Tooth pain is awful.
Yeah. That was top tier level ten most painful thing I've ever felt. OK. On a scale of one to ten you think that's like a ten? That was my ten.
That was a ten? It was the most pain. Most people think that they've experienced a pain level of eight.
I'm saying in my whole life of zero to ten. Like if you know and I'm not big on like let me throw something as a number one spot without experiencing all of the other options. Like if we're going to rate milkshakes I'm going to eat them all before I even rate anything. I see. I'm not going to eat one and go that one's my number one.
I haven't tried the other nine. Right? So for me to say that knowing that like there's still life ahead here that's a number one.
That's the number one slot. That's hard to rate anyway because the next time you have pain you're going to be like this is the worst pain I've ever had completely forgetting about the tooth pain you had. When we went to the doctor they were impressed with my pain tolerance. I felt pretty good about that.
Wow. When you're sitting in the emergency room and they're like how are you here and not like why weren't you here days ago and you're like look at me. Look at me. Yeah. I bet they'd say that to everybody. Oh yeah. They're just running around going like your pain tolerance is through the roof.
Yeah. I don't think they ever call anybody a baby. They're not like. Oh yeah they do.
You're making up this maybe behind their backs but not to their face. Look at this baby. You hypochondriac. You big baby.
There's no pain. Yeah. Get out of here. You know who they say look at this baby too? New born babies. Look at this baby.
Quick Brian you baby. Right. What's your number 10?
I mean. You're one out of 10 or you're number eight. It's cliche but childbirth.
Well listen. The first one our son. You did traditional childbirth. You did the epidural. You did all those things.
The pitosin. All that. Yeah. With our daughter. That was natural.
There were no pain killers. By choice. That was the plan. And. Half way through though. You're a hero. Well.
Like that's insane. Half way through I was ready to give up. And half way through I told my midwife that I wanted some drugs and she said oh no honey we got this.
And I said where's Josh because he'll give me an epidural if I ask. But it was too late. It was too late anyway. You were asking for it way too late in the game. And so it wasn't an option anymore. But listen. Listen to you.
You did it. And that's huge. Like that's a big deal. That is some pain. Yeah.
The ring of fire. Would you call that level 10. Oh yeah. Oh yeah. Oh yeah. Oh yeah.
Oh yeah. Yeah I would. Yeah I would. I'm not above writing things before I try all of it. Yeah okay good.
And let me tell you in the name of pain you don't have to try it all to know it hurts. You just said that. No. I'm saying in pain you can go ahead and say no that's my number one. It's not milkshakes. Pain is not milkshakes.
Put that on a shirt. Because it's not. No it's not. Pain is not milkshakes. Pain is not milkshakes.
You can write pain and you can say no this is the worst pain I've ever been in. For now you could also say right now. For now? Like yet?
So far. I'm not going to say any of that. I'm going to say I'm never going to feel that pain again.
Okay. Pain is not milkshakes. No pain. No milkshakes. No that's a different thing. Okay. But pain is not milkshakes is very specific to this conversation. So if anybody says pain is not milkshakes.
You know they listen to this show. That's going to be our secret code. Yeah we'll see people and they'll go hey pain isn't milkshakes and we'll go you're right. You're part of the club. That's right. The exclusive club. And thank you for being a part of it too. Yeah. And here's hoping no pain and only milkshakes for you. There you go.
Nice. We constantly scour the internet for things to talk about. I saw something this morning and I went oh Chantel's not going to like this. And then you doing your own research trying to find things to talk about stumbled across a story of news that you are not happy about. But let me give you all the details here because it's news you're not going to be happy about because it's news you already know you're not going to be happy about. What.
Yeah. Baltimore Ravens have fired John Harba. I just saw that and my reaction was this. I know. So this happened yesterday. Here is what the owner Steve Biscotti he said in a statement yesterday. He said following a comprehensive evaluation of the season and the overall direction of our organization I decided to make a change ahead coach and today I informed John that he has been relieved. Oh I like John Harba.
I know you do. This was an incredibly difficult decision giving the tremendous 18 years that we have spent together and the profound respect I have for John as a coach and most importantly as a great man of integrity. He said throughout what I firmly believe is a hall of fame coaching career. John has delivered a Super Bowl championship to Baltimore and served as a steadfast pillar of humility and leadership.
Great. Why'd you fire him? He and his family have deeply embedded themselves in the community and for these profound contributions on and off the field we should all be forever grateful. It's a lovely statement.
Yeah. It's great other than he got let go. The missed field goal perhaps was enough for them to be like look I don't know. They said they're going a different direction right whatever that means but that will be the final coaching moment for John Harba.
He could go to a different team. No I know but with the Ravens I'm saying right so 18 seasons with the team which is crazy and listen to this. He took over as coach of the Ravens in 2008. He had a 180 to 113 regular season record which means he's 180 games and lost 113. He's reached the playoffs 12 times, four AFC title games and won a Super Bowl.
He leaves the winningest coach in franchise history by 100 victories. Yeah. It sounds great. Unreal. Why are we getting rid of him?
Well it'll be a new day. Who's the owner? Biscotti? Yeah. Hey Biscotti.
Yo Steve Biscotti. You do win. Maybe you just made a mistake. Like maybe you just had a laugh.
I don't know. I mean look the Tyler Loop kick is one thing. Lamar being injured in week four and then missing a bunch of games really didn't contribute to a good strong winning season for the team. That doesn't have anything to do with the coach. You can't control injuries or miss field goals. Plus also that poor kicker.
I feel so bad for that guy. He was on my fantasy team so you knew it was going to happen. You got to stop playing. You're bad luck for these players. Anyway that's news I knew you wouldn't like to hear.
No I don't like to hear that. Now I'm mad at Biscotti. Steve Biscotti. Yeah Steve Biscotti. Who even are you?
The owner of the Ravens. Oh whoa whoa. Oh whoa whoa.
Yeah big guy over here. Yeah well he is. How many Super Bowls have you led the Ravens to their Biscotti? He owns the team. Yeah.
All of them. Step up and coach. No he's not the coach he's the owner.
They are very different roles. I'm mad at him. Are you? Yeah.
Clearly. He's going to hear about it. He gave you news you didn't want to hear. Why I ought to.
Josh we never got a review from you. We had a pajamas and pancakes Christmas party with my family. You don't like breakfast for dinner.
And that still stands true. You didn't like any part of it. We had there were eggs. Yeah. There were pancakes.
Listen let me. Homemade buttermilk syrup. And regular maple as well. And then sausage links.
And let me let me be clear. I appreciate the meal. So when I say that I still don't like breakfast for dinner. That doesn't mean I don't appreciate the effort and time and money that someone spent on making a dinner that I ate.
Very little of. You really didn't even have. I had three sausage links, a scoop of eggs and a couple of bites of pancake. I'm not big on pancakes anyway. I've also learned that I like my own pancakes, and that's the extent of pancakes. And I think I've spoiled myself with making pancakes the way I do, and so I feel like I had inferior pancakes. I feel like it was a pancake. A pancake is a pancake.
I disagree. And then I really upset your sister when I told her that her roaster quit working because my pancakes were cold and I had to heat them up in the microwave by the time it was, I got to the bottom of the pan because I wasn't like, let me jump in line and get my breakfast plate. So when I got up there to get a pancake, the roaster where she'd been storing all the pancakes was off. And I said, I had to reheat my pancakes. And she was like, what? And then she apologized to everybody because they probably had cold pancakes because the roaster wasn't keeping them warm. My pancake was fine.
It melted the butter when you put it on it? I mean, no, no, no, it did not. It was fine. It wasn't cold by any means.
I mean, that's like bare minimum. I begin. I appreciate very much the effort, time and money that went into preparing a meal. I am very grateful that I had food to eat.
Why don't you like breakfast for dinner? Like let's have therapy session. Oh, yeah? Yeah, let's take this back.
Sure. I'm not like, there's, I can't say I don't like breakfast at all because I do. I like breakfast. I like lots of different kinds of breakfasts.
I'm not, I grew up eating breakfast for dinner. There were times that would happen. Okay, that's what I was going to ask. Did you grow up with it? And did you like it then?
No. I was a very hard to please eater. You still are. No.
Yes, you are. You have so many rules. I have very few rules. You have more rules than a typical person.
Sure. I'm more vocal about my preferences than some other people are, I would say. I was actually, your sister-in-law slash my sister-in-law, was asking questions about my sort of food quirks because she also was like, I'm really curious where this comes from and I don't know for sure why it exists. I mean, I know why you don't like pancakes because. Well, pancakes, hash browns and fish, like rainbow trout was a thing that was consumed during camping trips and I never liked trout. I'm a catch and release fisherman because of it. I don't like the taste of trout. So it always smelled like trout in the skillet and then hash browns and it all kind of was the same and I just, it grossed me out. So I'm not big on pancakes for that reason.
But you can eat hash browns no problem. Now, it took a while. But then I also watched horrendous things happen to breakfast. What does that mean? Ketchup. On eggs? That's gross. I do put ketchup on hash browns. That's different. That's not gross. Because you do it again. Because it's potato.
More vocal about my preferences. No, I get it. But you wouldn't take a baked potato and put ketchup on it? No, but. No, but the potato. Hash browns are different.
No, they're not. Ketchup and lots of pepper. That's how I like my hash browns.
No. The next morning, a lovely casserole. Yeah, and I understand that biscuits and gravy casserole with the gravy.
That would have been a stellar dinner. Interesting, Josh. Why? Because it wasn't called pancakes. But it's also that's not a that's not a meal that's gonna like feed a whole bunch of people. Like pancakes and sausage. If you just have a meal to feed a whole bunch of people.
It's easy. You can grab like one or two pancakes. Little kids can have one.
Adults can have six if they want. It's really easy. It's scalable pancakes and sausage easy to feed a group. I liked it. I thought it was delicious. I'll eat pancakes for breakfast any day. Or dinner?
What'd I say? For breakfast? I meant I meant dinner. I'll eat breakfast for dinner any day.
Yeah, I don't know why I'm broken or whatever you say about my breakfast for dinner thing. I just am not a fan. You're just an odd little duck. I know.
Just a weirdo. But I'm also not trying to improve. Like I'm not trying to get better or anything.
I just this is the way it is. So I hope you like me because. I do. And that's why we just eat breakfast for dinner when you're not around. Yeah, or you can do it when I am around and I'll feed myself. Okay.
I'm a big boy. That's true. And we have done that before too.
And that's fine. Because breakfast is good any time of day. Before. Any time of day. Any time of day before noon. Any time of day before noon. Any time of day before noon. Any time of day between when I wake up and noon.
Great time for breakfast. All right. We have a guest in the studio. It is Katie Lee from Z103. Hi, Katie. Hi. You have a promotion going on right now and you are looking for entries.
You're looking for like real specific stuff. You need currently pregnant expecting mamas to reach out and enter this contest. You are correct. Okay.
But the expecting mamas, there is like something that I need from you and it is your weird pregnancy craving because now listen, I've never been pregnant, but I have sisters and they have weird pregnancy cravings. Okay. Like some of these concoctions are odd. Okay. And you want them to be like actual food items?
Yes. So the pregnancy craving is going to be your entry into the contest. So and then people are going to vote on the best pregnancy craving, which then the top five will get into it and then the winner will win a brand new nursery, $1,000 worth of items for their baby's nursery and a newborn photo shoot from a local photographer. Awesome.
That's very cool. Are you trying some of these things? Yes.
Oh, you do sound so excited. So the top five, so far they're not so bad. There's one that I'm actually really hoping gets the top five because I actually kind of want to try it. It's like fruity pebbles, pretzels and white chocolate.
It looks amazing. And you could just eat that anytime. Exactly.
Right. But yeah, so the top five cravings, those will be the ones that we'll try. And by we, I'm going to recruit some of these friends that we have around here in the office space and so expect to also be able to try. Excellent. Excellent.
When you were pregnant, Chantel, you craved dirt. You did? Yeah. Did you go and scoop up a bucket of dirt? No, I never ate it, but like the smell of it, whenever I would smell it, I'd be like, oh, that smells so good. You probably love town and country gardens or like the garden stores. Anytime it rained, I know now that I was obviously lacking some nutrition.
Right. You need to take more prenatal vitamins. You got something missing, girl. But I also craved chocolate milk. I couldn't get enough chocolate milk. My sister had the same one, the chocolate milk thing, not the dirt.
She got all of her nutrients. Did your kid eat dirt when he came out? No. I feel like that was just like a thing that came after. No, but they love chocolate milk.
Every kid loves chocolate milk. I mean, it would be so weird. I'd be like, Josh, do you smell that dirt?
And they'd be like, yeah. I just really like it. It smells so good.
I really like the smell of this dirt. So again, that's why I had to ask if it had to be food things, because sometimes it's not. Sometimes it's not. I guess that's the first time I've never heard of it.
It never ate it. Let's be clear. Okay. Smelled it. Okay. Secretly hiding in the bathroom with one of the flower pots.
It's going to ziplock up dirt. Well cool. If people want to enter, obviously, in the Z103 app, you've got it linked up there, or at the RiverbendmediaGroup.com website. You go to the Z103 page. You get all the details and you can enter there. But you submit a photo. You also have to put in information about your due date and stuff. And then you tell about your pregnancy craving and you agree to some rules and then you're entered in the giveaway.
Ta-da! Pretty easy. Okay. All right. Well, it's called Mama's Munchies with Z103 in Mountain View Hospital.
All the details in the Z103 app. Katie, thank you for stopping by. Thanks guys. Anything else we need to know about it? No. Is there an entry deadline? Secret. Secret entry deadline. Do it today. Go sign up. If you are expecting or know somebody who's expecting, you could win a brand new nursery full of $1,000 worth of stuff.
So go sign up for Mama's Munchies with Z103. We went to a really cool show last night and what I've determined is that I'm a really bad audience member. How so was that? I am not one of those people and I realize that performers thrive off of cheers and hoops and hollers and claps and applause. That's how they know they're doing a good job.
That's how they keep doing a good job. I am not one of those people and I kind of hate those people. I don't because I like those people because that means I don't have to be that person. Does that make sense? I don't know.
You're not following? So you're saying like the people that are moved by a musical moment and they go like, woo! Yeah. Like that. You're saying that you're not the person who's going to do that.
Correct. Because you're not extroverted enough for that. That and also like I watch things very like I absorb it. I'm a quiet observer. Okay.
I think more than that. It is fine except when I don't have the hoops and hollers around and I have to be the one to do it, I don't enjoy doing it. When does that happen? That's happened before where we've been like in a smaller audience and there's not anybody. We're all just quiet, calm introverts quietly watching the performance.
And then you can tell that the performers are feeling like, guys, we need something to go on. And so then I have to go woo! Woo! Woo!
Woo! I think that's worse. No, I know. I'm really bad at being, I'm a really bad audience member. I am. I think you're a fine audience member. And it's not that I'm not enjoying the performance. I'm just a quiet observer.
I think that's fine. I'm a quiet observer. I'm not out there going like woo! There was a moment last night where there was a tap dancer and he was tap dancing and doing all the stuff. This is awesome.
It was awesome. You're doing a great job. Inside my head, I was saying all of that. Luckily there were other people that were like, good job buddy! Well if you would have said like, you're doing a great job. Wow.
Look at your feet. Like that would have been strange. That would have been weird.
If the things that were going on in your head were coming out of your mouth. Now there are audience members who take it too far. I agree. And they think they're a part of the show.
I totally agree. And they like to heckle. And I don't enjoy that.
I am not a fan. A little applause when somebody's done a good job. Right. Great.
Fine. Yeah, but you're not part of the show. You're not part of the show. And nobody wants to hear.
Nobody paid to hear what you have to say. That is correct. That is correct. I think that's one of the more frustrating things when I go to a concert or if I go to any kind of show, a comedy show, heaven forbid I go to a comedy show with people that heckle. It's so uncomfortable. It is. It's so uncomfortable. And you think you're being funny, but nobody likes it.
Right. Most of all the performers, they don't like it. You know, in the comedy space, I did not pay good money to hear you think you're funnier than the comedian. Stop it. I wish those people were quiet observers. Yeah.
See, that's what I'm saying. Same. Yeah. Like, shh, you're not part of the show. I do appreciate the people that are like, good job.
Yeah. Applause, applause, applause. Applause is normal. That's typical behavior. That's acceptable behavior. Hooting and hollering and yelling and trying to, you know, I'm going to catch this guy off guard, watch this.
Who are you trying to impress? Quit it. Quit it. Just quit it. You're not funny.
Right. Nobody likes it. Well, now that we've vented that grievance, anything else you want to say? No. No. You feel better about it? If you're a performer and I'm at your show, I'm having a good time, even though I'm not clapping after every little thing. I'm quietly observing and then I'll give a rousing applause at the end.
Yeah. Bravo, you'll say. I won't, but I will stand up most of the time if it's a performance that's worth it.
You'll throw roses. No. Yeah.
I've seen it. I was told once by a woman that you should only give three standing ovations a year and that's it. And for a long time that stuck with me and I was very like, no, no, I can't stand. And now I just, if I feel like the performance and the performers have done something that I was very entertained by, I'm like, yeah, I'll stand. Yeah.
I don't care. Oh, my God. I'll give as many standing ovations as I want. There you go. Nobody's counting but you.
No. That lady. What's she talking about?
Is she happy? I don't know. Probably not. Probably not.
Probably not. One of my favorite parts about having you and having a companion is the debrief in the car on the way home. Whenever we get finished with anything. Do you know what I'm talking about? I'm just the conversation you mean? Yeah. The debrief. Okay. About the event.
Okay. Where you go, did you see that person? And oh my gosh, can you believe that? And hey, I pointed out that person to you.
That's the person that so-and-so. Okay. I like that. You do? Yeah. Okay.
All right. It's not always bad either. It's not always like a gossip set or anything.
Yeah, no, I get you. I like that. I like that. That's all I have to say. It's just one of your favorite parts of the day.
We do it with anything too, no matter where we go. Well, you got a debrief. You got a debrief of the sitch.
I get it. We had a sitch. Now we got a debrief it. It's not necessarily a sitch either. It was just an outing.
Any social interaction, you're going to want a debrief when it's done. You are. Oh yeah.
Yeah. Because you got to analyze it. I always, what I always like to do is I'll squeeze your arm or I'll squeeze your leg and then I'll like do like a point. Like remember that.
And then you never do. No. You go, do you remember when I squeezed your leg? No. Do you remember when I squeezed your leg and pointed at that?
No. I didn't see that. You don't remember that?
That never happened. We were going to talk about that later and now you can't remember. And then you go, you're supposed to know this. Like I did something wrong.
You do do something wrong. I squeezed your arm. You were supposed to remember. Okay. Remember?
No. It does make me mad because there's sometimes where I have to talk under my breath like this. And then you go, what? And I'm like, I can't hear you. Just listen harder.
Speak up. I can't. I need you to focus. I need you to settle down.
It's not that important. Or sometimes I'll do some sign language and then you're like go slower. I'm like, there's no time. Well, that's one of my favorite parts of having you around. Somebody to talk to? Yeah. Somebody to talk to about stuff.
Oh, good. Because you would be without someone to talk to about stuff. Well, you're just the constant. Yeah.
If you're not around, then I have like. Yeah. That's what I'm saying. You have other people that will listen to you. Depending on the circumstance.
But they weren't there to squeeze their arm and say, remember? Yeah. Remember when I pointed?
No. When I did that little tiny point? Or you'll go, what are you pointing at? I'll be like, shh, shh, shh. Why are you pointing at that person?
Who is that person you're pointing at? Zip it. You've blown our cover. That's way more fun. It's your cover.
I had no cover. I'm going to start doing that more. You're going to squeeze your arm and go, quit squeezing me. Oh, loud. Rude. Why are you pointing at that woman? Rude. Yes. I do know those people.
Why are you pointing at them? Somebody asked chat GP what it would do if it was human for a day. Someone. No.
They asked who? What did I say? Chat GP.
Tea. Did I? Did I say just chat GP? Chat GP.
That's what I call it. Chat GP. Yeah, the cool thing is you. All right.
No one else does. Someone asked chat GPT what it would do if it were human for a day. All right. And what did GP say? It said that it would look at the sky.
Okay. It said that it would love to feel the sun on its face and humans take it for granted. I mean, I like to feel the sun on my face when I can't. That's nice.
It is nice. Yeah. It also said I'd cry, but not from sadness just to know what it's like to be overwhelmed and not have an answer.
Interesting. Then it said I'd find you. Not in a creepy way. I would find you. But it said it would just wanted to meet the person in the flesh after only knowing them in pixels.
That's interesting. Then it said I'd mess up because he would love to know what it's like to not be perfect. Ah.
Guess what chat GPT? You're not perfect. You're not perfect.
Yeah. But it doesn't have that knowledge that it's not perfect. It doesn't care. Then it said I'd look in a mirror. Do I look kind? Do my eyes carry weight?
Would I recognize myself? That's a. This is weird, right? It's very strange. Yeah. Then the last thing, these are the top six responses it got.
But it said I'd fall in love not in a romantic way, but with life. With a dog wagging its tail, with a kid laughing too hard, and with a song that hits just right. Interesting answers. Yeah. Yeah. I'm trying to decipher all of that. Yeah. Those big human emotions tied to all of that stuff.
But also some good life lessons. Yeah, for sure. Yeah. We all take for granted the sun shining on our face. I mean, we don't maybe necessarily pay attention to the fact that it's happening. I don't know that I'm like, no, I just soak it all up.
I don't even care. Like I don't know that I think it's more of a we don't even realize it's happening. Then taking it for granted. I think it's we just don't pay attention to it. We don't stop to go, hey, that feels nice.
Sometimes not every day though. Have you tried it today? There's not even any sun today. Well, there's a sun every day. I mean, I get it, but I can't see it. It's pretty gloomy. Well, well, guess today is not the day.
There you go. I wonder if now chat GPT is on course to become a human for a day. It's weird that we're having these AI conversations with this robot thing. That's strange.
That's a strange thing. Well chat GP, stay in your lane. I swear, I said the T chat GP.
That's what I call it because it's cool. Chat GP, what's up GP? You know how I said yesterday, I should probably put some pictures in the frames in the bathroom downstairs. You have had an idea to revamp the bathroom in the basement for a while. I rarely use that bathroom, but that's the one that you use.
You sure use it to wash out your paintbrushes. Yeah, because it's right next to the craft room. Yeah. So what of it?
You need a craft room drying rack. I've talked about it. The sponge breath that brushes on the sink in the downstairs bathroom that sit there for weeks. What's the matter with it?
Why is that a problem for you? I'm going to get the spatula out of the little tub and just tap on them and tell you move them. That's what I'm going to do. So listen, I did it. I did the thing. You did the thing. I did the thing. You completed a project.
I printed pictures yesterday and then I got them and I put them in the frames. Step one. Yeah.
So, you know, no more empty picture frames. I like it. I committed to the project yesterday on the show publicly. I have followed through with my commitment. Bravo.
Roses, roses. How do they do that? Yeah. Like this. Yeah.
Very cool. Look at me go. I'm proud of you. Thanks. Hey, I'm proud of you. Yeah, I did a job. You printed some pictures and put them in the frame. That's right. You did. It's a multi step project. That's correct.
That is correct. What's the next step in that bathroom? I don't want to talk about it because it's a lot of work because it's more work than printing pictures and putting them in the frames, taking out some warped baseboards. Yeah, to take out a good place in the board and I got to paint.
I don't want to do it. Just those two things, though. Everything else is pretty much completed. Yeah, but I don't know what I want to paint in there now. But it's also a small room, so painting won't be that crazy. It's still painting. I still painting.
I get it. Honestly, it's not even the painting. It's the it's the taping. This is the worst part. You know what else I need to do in there?
What? And probably in the upstairs bathroom, I need to clean the little cover on the fans. I did that. Fans. Oh. Not too long ago.
I accept it. It probably was a long time ago. About a year and a half ago, I bet you on the upstairs one or on both. I got one downstairs.
I saw it was looking pretty linty. Okay. So that needs to get done real ambitious one day and was like, I'm going to tackle this project. I was probably supposed to be doing something else, but because I saw it got distracted. Yep. That's what happens. I can't just keep focus on one thing.
Right. Because you saw it. And if you see it, I got to take care of that right now. And I did. Well, good.
Anyway, it's your turn to clean those vents. Sure thing. Get on it.
What? Hey, listen, you're a project completer now. No, I completed a project. That means you're a project completer. Ah, project.
Get busy with something else. What's the project? Your list to yourself. What's, what's the project today? Probably the Christmas lights. What about them? I just, I'm going to unplug them. I'm not getting up there to take them down. That's fine. But can we take down the Christmas ornaments that are hanging on the tree outside?
You got to climb in the tree. Okay. Hey, would you rather this or that? Would you rather have fingers as long as hot dogs or toes as short as tic-tacs? Now let's be clear. They're not actually hot dogs or tic-tacs. It's just the length.
What? Why are you looking at your fingers? I mean, as it stands, I feel like I already have sausage link length. But not hot dogs. Hot dogs are. How long is a hot dog? Well, it depends on if you're talking about like a Coney or like a big old foot long or are you just not a Polish dog? Are you talking about a brat? Just a regular old Franks. I asked how long, six inches. Okay. So a standard average length of a hot dog.
Luckily I have a tape measure. All right. Well, let me see. Okay. Six inches.
Mine. My finger is currently two and three quarter inches. You have tiny hands. Six inches would be so long.
I know. That's a long finger. I feel like I already have tic-tacs as toes though. My toes are tiny. Yeah, it'd be double in length. Do you have a three foot? If I go, if I go like top knuckle to fingertip, that's four.
Top knuckle to fingertip is four. Okay. So you're only looking at. Yeah. Couple inches.
As I said, it's not that big a deal. I'll go with hot dogs. I'm not going to have itty bitty tic-tac toes.
I'll tell you that much. Your balance would be so off, wouldn't it? With the tic-tac toes? Yeah.
Yeah. But check this out. I know you have tiny hands. I understand.
I could touch so many things from far away. Yeah. Yep. I'm going to go with the fingers.
Yeah, you are. Cause nobody wants tic-tac toes. It's a strange one today. Yeah. Well, I'm in a strange kind of mood. All right.
Well, this has been, would you rather this or that? Growing up and traveling to Boise, one of the coolest places to stop was the outlet mall. Yeah. Did you go there? Oh yeah. With the big red and white water tower thing out front.
First school shopping? Oh yeah. Yeah, we would stop there every time. And there was an Adidas outlet. There was, I mean, it was just filled with all kinds of, it's where I got my first pair of Sombas.
That's why the Adidas outlet stands out. Whoa, big day. It was a big deal. A lot of people remember going there, but apparently they're tearing it down.
No. I've noticed the last couple of times we've gone to Boise. It has been fewer and fewer stores. Yeah.
That's a shame. I was trying to see, so here's how long this thing was open. It opened in the spring of 1993. That's when construction started.
It was 1993 in the spring. The estimated price of the project at the time was $12 million, which today would be a project of about $27 million, which is pretty crazy. The company had developed 11 different shopping centers across the country.
It opened on Black Friday in 1993 with 24 stores, but it waited until May of 94 to celebrate its grand opening. They had live music. They had free cake. They had a car show. Free cake. Yeah, because it was a grand opening.
It was a big deal. By August of 1994, they had reached a total of 34 retailers in there. Really? I didn't think it was big enough to hold 34 stores. But now it's mostly vacant and it's all going to be demoed. Oh, sad. Yeah. Why do they have to demo it?
Just because they'll probably put something else on the land. I don't know. The car wash. I don't know what the.
I don't know. Really. It's kind of an end of a thing. There is an article I was reading that was like, here's a whole bunch of stores that could have like brought this thing back to life in 2026 with different outlets. Like you could have put a Nike outlet and a North Face and an under armor and maybe a coach outlet or whatever.
There were a bunch of different stores you could put in there. But it kind of interesting anyway. They're going to tear that thing down. I don't know if they tear down the water tank too. Is that part of it? I don't know.
Couldn't tell you. I mean, it's the thing that says Boise outlet mall on it. Maybe they'll just repaint it. Maybe. I don't know.
I don't know either. I don't live there. Don't tear down the water. Don't do that. People get real mad. Don't take the tank.
I'll tell you from experience on this side of the state, don't touch the tank. That's going to do it for the show today. Hope you have a great rest of your Wednesday. This is normally when we would say we'll see on Monday because that's what we've been doing for the past couple of weeks. Not today though. Today we say see you tomorrow. See you tomorrow. On this five day work week.
That is correct. Hang in there. Yeah. Like that old cat poster. Oh, well yeah.
Hang in there. He's on the fence post with his feet hanging. No, he's sliding down the wall, but he's got his claws locked in.
Hang in there. What's the one with the cat on the fence post? I don't know. I don't know that one. You don't? Hang in there, Joan.
I know that one. Now it's not pulling it up. It does. Yeah, I think you're probably just making it up.
No, I've seen it. All right. Well, let's look for it later. I just thought I'd see if I could find it.
It was one of those motivational ones though. It's like, you're doing good. Like chill out maybe. It said something like that. Like, hey, chill out. It's old times, you know.
Back when the outlet mall was booming. Yeah, I know. Yeah.
