Because that's how it's spelled. Wednesday. The Wednesday. Wednesday. Wednesday.
Today on the show, we're being swindled by olive oil, and I don't mean Popeye's girlfriend. Come on. Today's strollers are intense and expensive. Why? I mean, we're talking about huge strollers, like the size of a pack and play on wheels.
That's really what it looks like. They're monsters. That's why everybody needs those big vehicles to pack the strollers. Good point. Good point.
We taught cats on global cat day. Yeah. One legged pants is gonna be the next big look for Josh. No. It's not.
I'm not doing it. Any one legged pants. No way. Like, shorts on one side, pant leg on the other Yes. And one hairy leg hanging out.
Plus, they're like short booty shorts on the short side. So it's it's not a good look. Yes. It's a lot of thigh. Parent teacher conference is a success.
I teach everyone about a squid. Wait. Wait. Not just a squid. You also made me want donuts really bad.
I want a donut. I know. Donut delivery.com. Not a sponsor. Film.
Yet. I panicked when I got locked out of the building, but I made it back safely. You did. And in time for the show, that was awesome. Sweating.
Sweating bullets. Josh wants to do the space out challenge, but I think he's gonna fail. Yeah. You said I would just take a nap. You would if 5 minutes stops.
No way. Would you go in with your kids for a job interview? Absolutely not. And what would you steal from your company if you quit? My cohost.

Oh, no. Thank you. So sad. Here we go. Can you hear me now?
Yes. Alright. You could hear me before. It just was not the same as with headphones. Is that right?
Correct, Josh. Well, welcome to the show, Chantel. You. Glad I could help you out with that. Thank you.
Yeah. Today is global cat day. Oh. Yeah. So visit a cat.
If you have a cat, say hi to your cat. Feed your cat. You sent me a video of some cats and some dogs. They were having it out. Oh, man.
Yeah. Cats are such jerks to dogs sometimes. For no reason, a dog was just sleeping away on a couch, and a cat snuck up and just started bopping him on the head. And it's like, what are you doing? The dog is not even it doesn't even care.
No. Not even bothering you. Leave that dog alone. Man. Cats I like Cats.
Silly old cats. Yep. World food day. Love it. Delicious.
Can't live without it. Food is good. It's a it's a good time to maybe donate some time or money to food charities and provide food for those in need, but it's also, a day to maybe have, like, a a food contest or something. A food contest? Like a like a cook off, an Iron Chef type thing or Hey.
Some sort of thing like that. You were gonna make something last week. You were talking about something, and then you were gonna make it. Mhmm. What was it?
Uh-huh. The ramen burrito. Well, that was yesterday. And then there was something else last week. And I didn't end up making the ramen burrito.
You sure didn't. But I should've because, it sounds delicious. But I just ran out of time. I didn't have time yesterday. Did you just forget?
No. I'm gonna write it down so we don't forget. I didn't forget. I had other stuff going on. You forgot.
Confirm that there is ramen in the house as I Oh, good. Suspected. So I just didn't have time to do it. Okay. Department store day.
Alright. Guess so. It's boss's day. What'd you give me? Nada.
So good. It's take your parents to lunch day. Oh. Yeah. That seems like a nice thing to do.
Nice gesture. And I I like these 2 kinda go hand in hand. It's global dignity day and Global Ethics Day. I think those are very much, connected. Everyone could use a little bit more of both of those.
How's your spine today? Fine? Why? Hug a spine. It's World Spine Day.
Hug a spine? Yeah. Got it. It's fossil day. It is hagfish day.
Why does hagfish get a day? Why shouldn't hagfish have its own day? What a crazy looking animal. I gotta look. Where do you find hagfish?
In the water. Oh. Yeah. No. I don't Hagfish?
Okay. You don't you don't like it? I don't wanna be rude about it. Okay. This is just trying to do its thing.
It's like a gross eel. Yeah. You can, they're found in Korea. Okay. And they could be barbecued fresh and also eaten in stir fry dishes.
Alright. So there you go. It is Steve Jobs Day celebrating Steve Jobs who revolutionized the modern world with Apple products. National dictionary. You can only celebrate that if you have an Apple, and we do not.
Okay? It's national dictionary day. Hey. That's what's going on. You can only celebrate that if you have one.
I do have a dictionary. Thank you very much. I have an English dictionary and a Spanish dictionary, so I get to celebrate dos. Maybe you should open that thing. See what happens.
Happy Wednesday. Good morning. Good morning. I don't like it. What I don't like it What's happening?
Swindled by a business. Uh-oh. Who swindled you? Well, we may may or may not have been swindled. Here's what happened.
Over the past, years, plural, due in part to extreme weather conditions affecting all of harvests Oh, no. The fine folks that create olive oil have, in an attempt to keep prices down for consumers, they've been selling fake olive oil. How dare you? I know. Can't even trust my olive oil.
That's what I'm saying. Some producers, they they, diluted their olive oil with stuff like sunflower or grapeseed oils. I can't even So you can't tell if it's olive oil in your cupboard or if it's some other oil because they're labeling things, sort of. Here's the deal. In order for it to be olive oil, it has to be pure.
And, in order to be legally labeled extra virgin, if it is labeled light, pure, or just the words olive oil, you can't 100% trust it. Oh. In order for it to say extra virgin olive oil It has to be. To be pure olive oil. 100%.
Correct. Anything else, you just don't know what you're getting. Says light olive oil, pure olive oil, or olive oil by itself, you can't trust it. Well, then we've never not necessarily been swindled. Potentially.
As long as you're buying the EVOO Sure. You're getting EVOO. Technically, yes. Are there labels on the bottle that say may contain traces of grape seed oil? I don't know.
I bet there are or not. Any it doesn't matter anyway. I don't am I concerned? No. You're getting swindled.
No. I this isn't a big swindle. We're getting swindled in a lot of other ways. This is not a big way. The EVOO, the big EVOO, they're swindling you.
You should be outraged. I am outraged. Torches and pitchforks. Oh, my olive oil. There.
See, that's better. It was it was sincere. Felt authentic. I really was the girlfriend of Popeye. I am what I am and all that.
Yeah. You know, the guy who does the voice of Popeye, he said that he he really didn't like doing that voice because after a recording session, he would be just destroyed vocally towards. Yeah. Just awful. But, anyway, that's, that's what I know about olive oil.
We've been swindled. Potentially. Oh. Potentially. Take a look at your EVOO.
Look. As a guy who likes to cook, I like to make sure I got the real stuff. I don't want any of this light, pure, or just olive oil. No. It's e v o o or get out.
This one, comes from Utah today, our good news. Clearfield City, Utah. Do you know where that is? Utah City? Clearfield City No.
Utah. No. No. No. I don't know why that is.
Clearfield is oh, it's in the Salt Lake Valley. Okay. It's, it's it's north of, Layton. Okay. So it's right there.
No big deal. There's a 12 year old girl there named Rosalie Olsen, and she had a dream for a playground. There's a new playground in her community that she didn't feel was suitable for younger kids. Aw. So she sketched out her own design and took it to city hall, and she said, hey.
Do better. Aw. I don't know. That's what she that that's not that's not a direct quote. Verbatim.
No. No. But still There's a community service director there named Eric Howes, and Eric was so impressed by her detailed plans that he decided to incorporate them into a different playground that the city was building. And Rosalie, had been in has now been involved in every step. She said every day, I would have to go there for another meeting, and I would tell my friends.
I'd be like, yep. I gotta go to another meeting. Very important. Yep. I've I gotta go.
More meetings. Not play today. I've got a meeting. She was very, very excited about it. All of her planning and hard work paid off.
She proudly cut the ribbon at the opening ceremony, officially opening the park for kids of all ages. Good for her. I think that is awesome. Way to go. Rosalie Olsen is her name.
12 years old, Saw that the park was not suitable for everybody and said we gotta do something. Saw a need. Help fulfill it. Came up with an action plan. Went through the processes of government to make it happen.
And now there's a park that she got to do the ribbon cutting for. I think that's super cool. She's 12? 12 years old. Well done, Rosalie.
You're gonna change the world. That's cool. I'm saying have. Look at you. So cool.
That is cool. It's good news to get you going. So the other day, I was at an event, and there were, some moms there. Uh-huh. And some of these moms had, you know, groups of moms.
Some of these moms were on their own, but they brought their kids. And I saw something I I didn't know existed. What is it? So you know strollers? Yes.
It's been a while since we've had kids. So I I the stroller still have kids. No. I know. But little kids that needed strollers.
Yeah. The stroller game has changed. Everything has changed. But the stroller game is insane. What's the stroller game?
They have, evolved away from the the single strollers that that we know into wagon strollers. Wagons. They're just wagons, probably. They're fancy wagons, and they are huge. I'm talking pack and play on wheels.
What? Yeah. Wagon strollers. It's I looked them at that. They're they were everywhere.
I saw a ton of them, and they are they are very expensive, which I was blown away by as well. By themselves were expensive. I remember buying a stroller. And then we got rid of the first one and said, we gotta buy another stroller. Yeah.
Why do we get rid of the first one? But this wagon stroller thing is wild. And and you can fit That's intense. Like, 4 kids in these things. They're huge.
And so that's what I saw was a bunch of people pushing around multiple kids in these wagon strollers, and I was taking them back because I was I this is bigger than a shopping cart, and you gotta push this thing around Yeah. Exactly. Everywhere you go with, you know, 3 or 4 kids in there. And as I said, there were some some groups of moms, so they had, like, a milk cart for toddlers. But how convenient.
You can nap in it. You can carry all the stuff. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah.
Yeah. There's room for the kid. They don't have to be all, like, bound in the thing and strapped in there and uncomfortable. You can get one that looks like a Volkswagen bus. I see that one.
For $1600. I know. But even I mean, low end on these things are, like, $56100. Oh, I see one for 170. I understand.
They make smaller ones, but if you're looking for, like, the pack and play on wheel size, you're up there. You're up into the $500 for these things, and that blew me away too. Yeah. That's pretty intense. But they are, super trendy, super, super convenient as far as the way it looked, but I was still blown away by I'd never seen them.
And I felt very out of the loop because when they started rolling in, I went, what is happening? Game. What is this? This is this was missing. I didn't have this.
Do they still you know how they have because you had, like, the nice stroller, the one that could accommodate there was, like, the What you talking about? Uh-huh. Hang on. Like, you had a stroller that had, like, the nice handle, and there was, like, a cup holder on top and a little tray on top where the handle was. And then there was, like, some storage underneath where you could stuff the diaper bag.
And then you had your quick stroller, which is the one that would just fold up. You could throw it in your car. Right. It wasn't there was no cup holder. Super easy.
Just, yeah, just the basic one. Yeah. Do they still have those? Oh, I'm sure they still make them. I don't think they stopped making that stuff.
I just think that the yeah. Just the little, like, $15 stroller. They they still sell those. Okay. I'm looking at those right now.
Just the basic ones. And then you get a little bit more fancy, you know, and you can get into the ones that you can take the baby bucket that snaps into the stroller and stuff. They still have that stuff, but that was not what I saw. The majority of the things I saw were wagon strollers because of and and, again, it was it was toddlers. Right?
It's it's not infants in there. The infants were still in the buckets and stuff. But the the ones that were standing and carrying around bottles and pacifiers and stuff, wagons. Put them in the wagon. Put them in the wagon.
Did it have seat belts in it? I didn't even notice. But I'm sure they do. But again You gotta it's a pack and play on wheels. You gotta strap those toddlers down.
Sometimes sometimes you do. Anyway, it's it was a cool thing, and I felt like we missed out on the wagon stroller thing. I don't I don't feel I don't feel jaded by missing out on this. Adult. I kinda wanna just ride in 1.
I know. Do they make one for adults? Yeah. Can someone just pull me around everywhere? What's the weight limit of this?
Reinforce the bottom, get some bigger, you know, aluminum so it isn't super heavy. It needs to be a little bit longer probably so I could stretch out my legs. And we're lay down. Exactly. Yeah.
I'm gonna need it to be like the size of a twin mattress on wheels. Just push me around. You know what? They make that. It's just a hospital bed.
That's what it is. It's national cat day? Yeah. Global cat day. Excuse me.
Yeah. Cats around the globe. Global cat day. There were scientists in Canada who wanted to do a study on cats on how they experience pain. Oh, no.
What they determined was that cats tend to mask their pain very well. They hide their pain. K. They I've heard them yow. To do Ow.
To do this study, they had to put electrodes on their heads to measure their brain activity, but the cats wouldn't stand still for it, and they kept knocking the electrodes off. Well, yeah. So a grad student said, I have an idea. And he crocheted tiny little hats to go over the electrodes. And once the caps were on over the electrodes, the cats said, alright.
I can deal with this. They can they were walking around with little, like, swim caps. Yeah. That's adorable. Little knitted cats on these cats.
Little knitted cat hats? Cat hats. Yeah. Cat caps. Cat cap.
Alright. Well, that's that's the cutest thing. Did what did they find out? Do then you said they do feel pain. What was the story?
I mean, obviously, they I feel like they do because they yow. Yeah. Yeah. We didn't need to study for this. We already do.
I know that they I know cats yow, so I I figured they feel pain when they yow. I didn't have to make little hats for them to know that. Well, yes. They so, basically, what they determined was that cats do feel pain, obviously. Yeah.
But they mask it really well. They can hide it really well. And so then the researchers attempted to ease their discomfort by introducing them to soothing stimuli, including colored lights Oh. And the scent of grapefruit. What is going on?
What is happening? Science. It's real science. Yeah. Knitted cat caps, electrodes.
I'm going to work today. Yeah. What are you doing? I'm doing Cat science. I'm doing cat science.
What are you doing with all that yarn and those grapefruits? I'm doing cat science. Science. Mind your business. There's cat science happening in here.
What a weird look at these soothing lights and this oh, is that grapefruit? Oh, that's delightful. Cat science. It's also said that there's a massive disparity between cats and dogs in scientific research. You think?
Because cats don't like to be touched. Yeah. And so scientists are like, is it because they're in pain that they don't wanna be touched or just because they don't wanna be touched? Yeah. Cats are, a whole different thing Yeah.
Than a dog. That's why maybe they don't get along so well. You think? Maybe. Fighting like cats and dogs.
Anyway, there you go. Thank you for cat science. Cat science. Hey. Good morning, Chantel.
Hey, Josh. You were talking the other day about how you needed some new pants. Yeah. I have, I have one pair of jeans. I have lots of pants.
I have, some khakis. I have some joggers. I have, my blue pants that you like, but I only have one pair of jeans. And so I feel like I need probably another couple pairs of jeans. I also need some pants.
We need to go pants shopping. K. Here's what we're gonna find when we go pants shopping. Pants. Yes.
Pants with just one leg. No. I'll I will take 2 legged pants. Thank you. Taylor Swift with her Oh, yeah.
The reputation outfit has the one leg. Yeah. Yeah. For those that don't know, the reputation outfit, it's 1 it's a bodysuit Yeah. That covers one leg Mhmm.
And then the other leg is exposed Correct. Which I think looks very uncomfortable. Alright. But that is the new trend that we're gonna be seeing. One legged pants?
One legged pants. Well So one of your legs is covered in a pant leg, and the other is exposed. That sounds, that sounds not it. Models have been wearing these on runways. I'm looking at it right now.
It looks real dumb. Going to be a collection of workplace women's wear next spring. Designers are excited about the asymmetrical look. Oh, boy. So then the real question is, are you gonna be paying for one leg of pants or 2 legs of pants?
You're gonna be paying more than you would pay for 2 legs of pants for this one legged pant look. Yes. Part 1. Part 2, one leg is gonna be tan. Part 3 Or chili depending on what the weather is.
It looks ridiculous. It does look ridiculous. And then here's the other part. You know how when you wear pants that have holes in them because that's the trend? Sure.
And you see an older gentleman and every older gentleman has the same joke. Are those your church pants? No. Or, like, did you pay full price for those pants? You get attacked by a bear?
Imagine all the jokes that are gonna happen Yeah. If people are wearing one legged pants. So it it's shorts on one side, pants on the other. Skirt. It's like a skirt.
Skirt. I do see that. It's kinda like a loosey it's not like a bodysuit. Like, Taylor Swift has, like, a full bodysuit. This is a it's a more loose fitting.
But here's the other thing I'm gonna tell you right now. Taylor didn't invent this. Who did? LL Cool J. Oh, mama said, not cute.
Yeah. That guy, LL Cool J has been rolling up one leg You know for a long time. You know what LL Cool J stands for? Ladies love. Ladies love.
Cool. No way. I love LL Cool J. I know that about you. They're also making leggings this way, for for and compression running pants, as well.
Why? And, because why not? If you're gonna wear it to work, you better have your, what do they call it? Athleisure. You better have your Athleisure wear a match.
Okay. But I guess it's it could be a time saver No. In that you only have to shave one leg. Okay. I don't have to shave both legs.
There's that. Real. I don't shave both legs anyway. This is one of the dumber fashions I've ever seen. Like, top tier bad idea.
I wonder let's see. Sometimes they have these fashion ideas that just never really take hold. I really hope this is going. Idaho. So let's yeah.
I'll be interested to see. It's supposed to be hitting in spring is when we're gonna see it a lot. Especially in Idaho, you're not gonna see that until, like, June. People in winter. Yeah.
You're not gonna see you're not gonna see the one legged thing. And your exposed leg is turning blue. We went to parent teacher conference last night. As you do when you're a parent and you have a kid in school. And it wasn't that we had any concerns because we have pretty good kids, but I like to we like to show our face and say, here we are.
Yeah. If you have any concerns, we're here to be available. Correct. What I noticed was, and here's what I don't know. We took our daughter with us, and we we've taken our kids with us even when they were in elementary school.
Mhmm. We saw parents that were there with their kids and without their kids. Well, and their kids might have had an activity. Right? Right.
Like, if you were What's the what's the policy? Oh, I don't think they care. Do you think it's a bring them or not? We don't care. I think if you have concerns about, something with your child that maybe you wanna share with the teacher or something that maybe you wanted to have a private conversation, maybe that's appropriate.
Okay. I would say there's probably different circumstances for everybody. Yeah. They don't ever really tell you, like, parent teacher conference. Bring your kids.
No students of that. We only wanna talk to the parents. No. I I don't think they have a preference, really. I mean, you worked in schools for a long time.
Yes. Was there ever a a policy that said Nope. One way or the other? No. Because I I I don't think it matters.
Yeah. They just want I think they just wanna see people. Yeah. I think the I think the important part is showing up and showing up. Going through the process.
I mean, even, like, you know, we don't have a lot of concerns with with our daughter in regards to grades or anything. Like, she she's organized. She does well. She's an a student. Like, it's great.
So it was it was less about that. Listen. I'm not gonna be a bragger, but she got Yes. You are. But Our child got pretty glowing reviews.
Which is good. That's a really good thing. I really like that. But she works hard. She puts in a ton of effort to pull that off.
So does. So it was nice to see she was getting recognized for that and that there were potential, like, future steps that she can take with the way that she is as a student. So I think that's awesome. Also, she's pretty good at math, we discovered. Yeah.
She just doesn't like it, so she doesn't put a lot of effort into it. But she's but she's But she's pretty good at math. Good at it. Which, of course, she gets from me Of course. Because I'm so good at math.
True. That's facts. All of my math teachers would agree. I think your math teachers would agree that you can be good at math. Yeah.
I think all of my math teachers didn't know how to teach me. I'm the play that I'm my teacher. Alright. Okay. Looking at you Burley High School.
Alright. Burley High? 20 some odd years ago? Yeah. I'm still holding grudges.
Mhmm. No. I know that about you too. That's a true fact as well. What?
You're good at math, and you don't hold grudges. These are true statements. Both of those, Very, very true. Yep. Yeah.
Good at math. And don't hold grudges. Yep. Okay. We went to parent teacher conference last night.
And as we're waiting to talk to one of the teachers, there was a science display outside of his classroom. Yeah. There was, like, skulls that were labeled. I saw he had a couple of different skunk skulls. Yep.
And then he had a list of all of the things they were gonna be dissecting in some of his classes. You love a good dissection day. I see. I do. You worked in a high school for a lot of years, and that was one of your favorite days because you got to take a look and see what was going on and smell all the gross smells.
I didn't care for the gross smells. But what I loved about dissection day was that the science teacher knew that I liked dissection day. And so he'd poke his head out of the classroom and say, it's dissection time. And I went, it's dissection section time because it's fascinating. Right.
And here's what I wish I had done when I was in high school, paid more attention to science For sure. And history Yeah. And all of the things. And math. And no.
Yeah. No. Hey. Also, one of your favorite things about dissection day was taking pictures and sending them to your sister because she is not like you, and she hates it. Yep.
Yep. She liked it. Let's be real. No. I don't think she did.
She liked it. No. I think if you still had some of those pictures around and resent them, she would be even more grossed out today than she was then. I gotta figure out where those are. I gotta send her some it's been a couple of years since I've sent her some dissection pictures.
Dang it. I gotta send her some. I gotta find those. The Internet's full of them. So, anyway, dissection day was a big deal for you.
And then what was on the list of animals they dissect at, at Emory School? Oh, there's 2 different classes. So they have the invertebrate zoology and vertebrate zoology. So they dissect different things, but that's not what I wanted to talk about right now. What I wanted to talk about is he also had a sign.
The science teacher had a sign in this cabinet that said, did you know? No. I did not know. And I'll tell you what I did not know. Tell me.
I'm I'm on pins and needles waiting to hear. Tell me. Tell me. Squid Yes? Have a brain shaped like a doughnut with a feeding tube down the center.
No kidding. If a squid swallows too big of a meal, it can do brain damage. Because the the feeding tube would expand and squish their brain? Yes. No kidding.
How about that? A doughnut shaped brain. Now you know. I feel like, there are some days I wake up and I have a doughnut shaped brain. Don't eat too big of a meal, Josh.
No. I could eat a doughnut is what I'm saying. That's all I can think about right now is eating a doughnut. Mine isn't a a ring like a doughnut with a hole in the middle, though. Mine is, is like a Bismarck.
I'm a Bismarck brain right now. It's got a berry it's got Bavarian cream in the middle. Bismarck donuts are so much good. Yeah. That's what I got in my brain now.
I got a doughnut brain. Thanks. How do we get donuts? Well, they quit making them a century ago. What do you mean?
You go to the store and buy a donut. No. No. No. If you're trapped at work, how do you get a donut?
Oh. Can you DoorDash? Donut delivery. Hello? Is that a thing?
Doughnut delivery. I think so. Delivery.com. It's 2024. You gotta be able to have a doughnut delivered.
Doughnut delivery. Get your doughnut delivery near you today at donutdelivery.com. Wow. There's a website for that? Yes.
I I I wanted to be surprised and then realized, of course, there is. How doughnut's delivered to your door? Is that what it says? Yes. How many m's?
3. That's a small one. Donuts to your door. Alright. Well, you figure out how to get doughnuts while my donut brain dreams of donuts.
Don't eat too much. You might get brain damage. I don't have a feeding tube running through the center of my donut brain. Don't eat too much. You might get squishy hips.
That's true. That is true. I was in a panic for just a minute. What happened? Well, I needed to use the restroom.
K. And A panic. The one down the hall was being in use, and so I added those to the other side of the building. Clear down the hall. Recently, the building here has undergone some security features.
And so now doors locked behind you. Correct. It's taken me some time to get used to that. I'm still not used to that. And you didn't take your I didn't take my phone.
Your landing. I didn't take my key card. I didn't take any of it because I was just gonna go down the hall to the bathroom. And so I as I'm walking down to the other side of the building, I see everybody. Good morning.
How are you? Good morning. Good morning. Good morning. Hi.
Hi. Go to the bathroom, do my business, and then I get out, and I go, oh, no. What do I do now? Well, you're here now. So So I you found a way.
Yeah. So I I know that on the front of the building, there's a doorbell where Yeah. You went outside? I had to. What other choice did I have?
I had no phone. There was nobody around. So you went outside. Banged on the door, but And then walked all the way around the building to where you got to the door, and then you had to buzz in. And it says, please ring doorbell.
You had to buzz in. And I go, where's the doorbell? I can't even see the doorbell. I don't know what button I'm supposed to push. The one that says call?
So I'm pushing the panel. It does not say call. I'm pushing the panel everywhere going, I don't. Where's the doorbell? Uh-huh.
I don't know where the doorbell is. Finally, there's a big button on the bottom that has a bell on it. Oh, like a bell icon. That's what you push. Yeah.
It makes sense. Very clear. Like a doorbell. Yes. But that's not very clear.
The big button with a bell on it isn't very clear? It isn't. It looks almost like an alarm rather than a doorbell Okay. So that I get buzzed in. Luckily, somebody was here.
Because this had happened an hour ago. Didn't have your phone or anything? No. I would've walked to the window and knocked on the door. You had to find another way.
And then I would've just waved and been like, guess you're out out there out there. So then story is not over. Oh. So then I come inside. I get buzzed inside.
Yeah. And then I go, thank you. And then I can't get into this door. Yeah. You gotta get buzzed into this door.
Into that one too. So she buzzes me in, and I open the door, and it won't open. And she goes, you just gotta pull it. I go, oh, dude. Pull it.
I did. Panic. Well, you made it. You have to do all of this in, you know In the length of one, glass and a little song. Yeah.
To speed it. So I was speed walking. Well, you made it. I did make it. Speed walking.
I was speed walking. Okay. Well, good job. Here you are. Problem solved my way here.
Let's do some deep breath exercises. What what what what are your deep breath noises? They sound stuttery. That's because I have a problem with relaxing. Yeah.
You're not selling it. Target has new Stanley mugs Okay. That are wicked themed. Oh, I heard about these. So they They were like a very limited run.
So there is yes. There's a pink one, and there's a green one. Yeah. For Linda and Elphaba. The witches.
Uh-huh. There was a brawl that happened not a brawl. It almost became a brawl Okay. In Missouri. Okay.
Have you seen them? Have you seen them? I was just looking at them, but I'm also watching this video. There is at least 12 grown women, and there's some kids there too, running to get these Stanley mugs. Yeah.
And one of them rips the mug out of another person's hand. Again, I would say, what is happening? Yeah. I don't know. It's a Stanley.
It's a cup. I know. It's just a plastic cup, guys. The the, I like the green one. Well I feel like the pink one I've seen before.
The green one was the more popular one. As I'm looking at this thing, the green one is gone, and there's quite a few left of the pink. Yeah. I feel like the pink one is just a pink Stanley, whereas the green to black, The green to black is really cool. Have you ever I would never think to fight with somebody over an item to purchase.
Like, you see sometimes the Black Friday shoppers have fights over TVs or I I it just makes no sense to me. It does. Especially when it's stuff. It's just a cut. It's just a mug.
Yeah. It's just a Stanley mug. And and what like and then they gotta do limits on stuff because people get greedy, and they wanna buy 28 of them because they wanna sell them online. Like, I'm looking right now at someone selling them online, a pair, for $210. Get out of here.
One of them for a $175. I thought that these Stanley Cups were going by the wayside. Didn't they just bring them for $272. Like, people were not into Stanley's anymore? I heard that.
This is why people do this, because they think they're gonna get rich by getting a deal ahead of somebody else and having something exclusive. And they go, oh, I'm gonna hurry and sell it online and make a bunch of money. Like, stop it. That's what happened when the PlayStation 5 came out. A bunch of people went in and bought them from every store so that they could run the prices up to twice as much as it cost and sell them out of their vans, and people were buying them because it was the only way to get them.
It's ridiculous. Stop it. You're you're you're a menace to society. Quit being that person. Seriously.
Also If you want the mug, fine. Go buy the mug. Don't buy all of them so so that you can try to make a profit. That's ridiculous. Yeah.
Get a real job. Right? Yeah. Also, don't buy a Stanley. Also that.
I mean, it's a mug. It's just a Right? It's a mug that's way overpriced. Guess what? My dad uses a Stanley, and he's the most uncool person I go.
So I have the same Stanley as your dad. It's a big green thermos. Yep. And it has it has a it has a cup that screws on as a lid, and then you can pour your drink right into it. Yeah.
I'm gonna start carrying that around. Look how trendy I am. It's green. I'm so cool. It's got a big handle on it.
Dumb. It is it's it's kind of, kinda dumb. Plus, what are you drinking? Water? Come on.
Water. What's up? What's happening? There's a thing happening, in Hong Kong, which I think I wanna participate in. Okay.
It is a new challenge Oh, no. Where no. Listen. This this is good. I think I could pull this off.
Okay. You are as a participant in this challenge tasked with spacing out for 90 consecutive minutes. Okay. I got this on board. Hour and a half.
Yes. You just have the space out? You just stare my head. No one can hear that. You just stare into space?
What do you do? That's it. The rules are simple. No talking, no moving, no falling asleep. Oh.
Every 15 minutes, judges check your heart rate to make sure you remain super chill. Okay. You're already gonna lose because you can't fall asleep. And the second you sit down and don't do anything, you're asleep. So you're done.
You don't know my life? Yes. I do know your life very well. The contest was created by an artist named Whoops Yang, who wanted to remind everyone that spacing out and taking a break and doing nothing is very important, especially in South Korea where a lot of people take their work and careers very seriously. And so it is the International Space Out Competition.
It was held in Hong Kong. You get 90 minutes What do you just Space Out. What do you win? Great question. I don't know.
I agree. I I don't know. Great question. I'm not gonna answer. I don't know if I would be able to do this properly.
I think I would I think I would provide a good attempt, and then I would get bored, and then I would need something to do. So To occupy my time. They had about 1200 people apply to compete. They picked 70, for this competition. In Tokyo, winners got a trip to, I'm I'm trying to see where this is.
A trip to Aishima region in the Mee Prefecture. I don't know where that is. In Hong Kong, if you won, you got a free flight to South Korea. Okay. So, you know, little vacay.
In Japan, you get a free flight to North Korea. No. I know. No. That's not a prize.
No. That's that's chill out, man. And then you can go be stressed out. Again, I don't think this is this is not a challenge for you even though you think it is. 90 minutes?
You would fall asleep. Okay. 5 minutes. Been working that day? Yes.
Well, then, yeah, I would. Even if you hadn't been working that day. I think, if it was, like, a Saturday afternoon, I think I could chill out without falling asleep. Disagree. Highly disagree.
I might have to give it a shot. 5 minutes in, you're asleep, snoring. Oh. And then somebody would nudge you, and you'd say, what? I'm not sleeping.
What? I've been awake this whole time. Yeah? And they'd say, bro, you were snoring. No.
I wasn't. Right. No. And the judges every 15 minutes would walk by and be like, is he awake? No.
He's snoring. No. I'm just I'm chilled out. I'm spaced out. Those are my those are my space shuttle engines you're hearing.
I'm spaced out. You're gonna lose this balance. No way. I think I could do it. Nope.
You think I'm asleep? Let's How soon? I told you, 5 minutes. 5 minutes? No way.
I guarantee I'd beat 5 minutes. I disagree, and I think we should try this challenge at home. Yes. When? Tonight.
Excellent. What time? 8. Perfect. 8 to 9:30.
Space out. Yeah. No. I'll be asleep. Exactly.
Have you ever taken a parent with you to a job interview? I have not taken a parent with me to a job interview. No. No. I have not.
And I've been working since I was really young. I mean, even, I'm trying to think, like, if if my parents would have ever gone Or if they on a job interview. Maybe. Maybe. I don't think so.
I'm just thinking too. Even when I worked at Burger King in high school, it was within walking distance of my house, and so it wasn't like I had to really get a ride. A new thing is that interviewers are seeing bringing their parents with them to the job interview. As a are they participating? Most of the parents accompany their kids to the office, but they don't go into the interview room with them.
They just are there for moral support. K. I could see Some driving one of our kids or something to a job interview. Drop them off and wait. Like, hey.
I'm I'm here. You know, can't wait to hear how it goes. That they go inside, they just don't necessarily go inside the interview room. I would think that as an employer, that might not look great. Okay.
But then some of the parents physically sat in on the interview. That really doesn't look great. Some of them at least introduced themselves to the to the interviewer, the manager, or the boss, or the person going to be interviewing their kids. So they've walked in. They said, hey.
I'm Josh's mom. Nice to meet you. Yeah. Here she is. Here he is.
Have an interview. Yeah. Some of them went into the interview and answered the questions for their child. I would say that child's not getting the job. No.
I would not ever hire that person. As as a person who's had to hire people before, if I even if I did a web interview with somebody, you know, that was outside market, and I was like, hey. We're we're interested in bringing you in. And they're like, cool. Let me introduce you to my mom.
Here's my mom. Mom. What's up? She's gonna be answering the questions for me. Yeah.
Did you have any other questions or anything? Oh, actually, my mom has a couple. My mom's got a few. I you know, like, I get the idea that maybe this is your first time doing an interview, and maybe you wanna be prepared for it. But this feels beyond helicopter.
This is a this is a different level of of, involvement. Yeah. Like, at some point, your kids gotta stand on their own two legs. Right? Like, you've gotta be able to go, hey.
It's time for you to jump out the nest and fly. Right? There. I'll be outside for moral support. Sure.
But you gotta handle this one on Friday. I'm not gonna walk in. You're gonna do fine. One of the questions is gonna be, do you have reliable transportation? Yeah.
If they're like, yes. I do. And they wanna verify that and say, hey. Are you willing to bring this person that we are interested in hiring to work 4 days a week? And you go, yeah.
That's fine. I'm committed to that. And they go, great. That answers our reliable transportation question. I'm glad you were here for that.
You are excused. You're excused. Thanks. What? This is strange.
Although, maybe it's good to have a parent in there to give good honest feedback or maybe not so honest feedback. Yeah. Something's wrong with my child. Like, why did I bring you? My kid is the best.
You should hire them. They're the best at everything. They're amazing. Hire my kid. She'll do anything.
That sounds weird. I don't I'm not a fan. It's a that's a strange, strange thing. Also, as a parent Yeah. There's no way I hate interviews for my own self.
There's no way I'm gonna go into an an interview where I don't have to be there. Alright. No. Sorry. You're on your own, kid.
Good luck. Kick you out the door and say, get that job. Yeah. Good luck in there. Go get it.
I would rather just do that. I'd rather be like, hey. I'm out here. If you need me when you're done, I can't wait to hear how it goes. Glad I could be here for you today.
Yes. I think that that role feels appropriate Exactly. As a parent to say, I've got your back. Good luck in there. Good luck in there.
And if you don't get it, it's okay. We'll find something else. We'll we'll keep looking. We'll keep working. I'll keep taking it as you need.
You're gonna learn. That's right. That feels appropriate. Walking in the building, you've crossed the line immediately. You've gone too far.
Now if you're sitting out in the car and you walk in and you're like, hey, can I use a restroom? Because you were out in the car for 45 minutes, and you don't introduce yourself as so and so, you just go, hey, I just needed to pop in real quick and use your restroom. That feels also weird, but appropriate. Not necessarily. I don't think that's weird.
You just pop in and say, I need to use your Depends on the office, I guess. But, anyway, do it on your own is is what I'm saying. Learn an interview skill. Yep. It's your job, not your parents'.
Exactly. They got their own job. Hopefully. Chantel, I've been working, hard behind the scenes to try and, bring this show that we make, wake up classy 97 every weekday Yes. Into, new avenues of exposure.
Okay. Does that sound fancy? Basically, we're on YouTube. That's what I'm trying to say. And so we've taken clips inside the studio, of different things that we talk about, and we've made those available on YouTube shorts and YouTube pants now.
We YouTube pants. It's just a longer video. Correct. You are absolutely correct. And then there's also some, like, in addition, like, behind the scenes in studio stuff, we're also posting videos, like, from you setting pumpkins up in our house to you wearing cool sunglasses and then, you with your wardrobe that's all the same.
There's all these videos of Chantel, and also stuff from in the studio. That's what I was looking through, and I'm like, man, there's a lot of videos of you doing pickup lines to me. Hey. Yeah. Yeah.
There's that. There was a video that we missed this morning that would have been gold. I'm I'm gonna I'm gonna be able to film that, and it's not gonna be staged because it's real easy to trigger you with the exact same thing multiple times. You are grossed out by something within the office, and we've talked about it a couple of times. And I don't wanna do it now because I don't wanna chop your tummy.
But this morning, we were near the thing that grosses you out, and you were extra grossed out today. I was really extra grossed out. I mean, anytime I even said, like, 1 or 2 words, you were having a dry heave. Away. And it's a fantastic video idea to watch you dry heave.
So we'll try and get that on on, on film. We'll try and get that on film. Oh, boy. On film. On film?
Yeah. 8 millimeter. I'm old. And On the video too. We'll get that on YouTube.
But, anyway, if you wanna check us out on YouTube, it'd be cool. You can subscribe, and then you can, you know, get notified when we post new videos and stuff. YouTube's been around for a long time. Our involvement in YouTube is very new, which is kind of fun and exciting and we're sharing different stuff and, and and you can be a part of it. So, if you wanna look at Classy 97 KLCE on YouTube or if you just wanna search on YouTube, wake up Classy 97, you can subscribe to the channel, and you can, you can get, you know, all kinds of fun stuff, including our podcast, by the way.

If you wanna listen to this show on YouTube music or you wanna watch the episodes on YouTube, you wanna throw them up on the TV or whatever, they're posted every single day right there too. So, lots of different ways for you to kinda see what goes on in the studio online. We're now on YouTube.
Hot diggity dong. I know. Isn't that fun? So fun. Okay.
So much fun. There was a woman who quit her job. She said she finally left this toxic job. Okay. And she wheeled her office chair out when she left.
Just wheeled it out with her. I'm taking this with me. Jammed it into her car, and nobody stopped her. Did she buy the chair? She justified it by saying this.
No. She did not buy it. She said, in my mind, I figured that I'd been sitting there taking years of emotional, physical, and verbal abuse. So I'm gonna take my chair and leave. She got an email a few days later saying, hey.
You didn't bring your chair back. That chair belongs to us. I don't know if she was threatened with a lawsuit possibly because that is company theft. It is theft. It is yeah.
It is property that the company owns. So she did bring back the chair, and she called that experience really embarrassing, taking back the chair that you stole. Yeah. I'm glad she came back. Pushing it back in.
You can hear that one wheel kinda doing that thing. Click click click click click click as it's going up the sidewalk. It'll be in there with that same one wheel wagon in the wind. In the breeze. Yeah.
It's like, there it is. There's my chair. That's my chair. I'm gonna go that I sat in day after day. I don't think that I have ever been so in love with a chair at work that I've been like, no.
I'm taking this. The chair coming with me. This is mine. Yeah. No.
I'm I'm there with you. I, it's a chair. Right? I will say that Like, if I bought the chair chairs are expensive. So if I had spent, you know, a couple $100 or something on a on a nice office chair, and they were like, see your way out, I'd be like, I'm gonna see my way out in the chair I paid a couple $100.
I paid for this. I'm taking this. That's that's a different thing, I would think. If it's a company chair, whatever. Good luck with that chair, whoever sits in it next.
So this then posed the question, what have what else have people taken from their jobs when they've left? Okay. Somebody worked at a kitchen company and took 2 Japanese knives. A kitchen company. Now Japanese knives are real nice knives.
They're very sharp, cut through hard stuff, and then a slice through a paper. I've seen them on TV. I know. Know all about those. Someone took an overhead projector?
Outdated in I mean, maybe when it was important, but it's outdated technology. Someone, took the heavy metal chalkboard that they used to write in Are these all schools? Quotes on? No. I'm not.
Cooking school? No. Someone said the only thing that I took for my job is my self esteem. Oh, well, I'm out of here. What would you take?
I wouldn't take anything. Good answer. Good answer. Especially not my chair. You don't like that chair?
Where are you gonna put an office chair in your house? In my house office. I don't have a house office. I'm not rich like you. We live in the same house.
Are you talking to me? You have a do you have a house office? I have a studio. Yes. A house office.
That's kinda my house office. Would you take do you need a chair for that house office? I have a chair in there. Okay. So you're not gonna take a chair?
No. I will say here's what I will say. When I worked at a previous place Yeah. I had I needed a new office chair, and they bought me a new office chair. Yeah.
And then they said, oh, hey. We're actually gonna move you jobs. You're gonna move offices. And I said, great. And then I moved offices, and I said, I don't like this chair in here.
I'm gonna go reclaim my old office chair. You should. And so then I went and got my old office chair when nobody was looking and replaced the new office chair with the old office chair. Replaced the old I'm with you. I followed.
You got real in the weeds about which chair was old and new and which office was new and old, but I stuck with you. Thanks. I got it. I understand. You got the new chair in your old office.
When you moved to a different office, you went and got your new fancy chair and moved it to your new office. I'm with it. Because that was my chair purchased for me. Taking it to my new office. Yeah.
That makes sense. And I did. Good for you. Alrighty. Are you ready to, play the game of would you rather this or that?
I'm always ready. The question is, Josh, are you ready? I am ready. What does that mean? I'm ready.
Oh. Would you rather go for a ride on a flying broomstick or go for a ride on a magic carpet. Oh, broomstick. Why? Well, now I'm kinda torn.
I would be broomstick. Why? Because it seems exciting. It feels a little bit more, sporty. That was that was my first thought too was if I'm flying around, I might as well have something with some agility, some, like, bank some corners and do some I also feel like I'm in control of the broomstick.
Okay. Magic carpet feels kind of like a Uber. Yeah. It is. It's a big betrayal.
But also I could be on there, and I could serenade you about a whole new world, and you might like that. Been there, done that. No. It was a different guy. What?
A different guy. Get out of here. You do not write on magic carpets with other people. Okay. Okay.
Okay. Question is this. Would you rather already asked the question. No. There's a different question.
Would you rather ride on a flying broomstick or on a flying vacuum? A lot of the pocus pocus. I get it. I get it. The vacuum seems clunky.
I'm sticking to the broom. The vacuum would be clunky. Plus the cord would get wrapped up all around you. Yep. But, hey, the Roomba is in the new one.
Like Oh, yeah. Stand up on flying Roombas is kinda cool. No. That's too dangerous for me. Like Iron Man.
I've got terrible balance that wouldn't work. A broomstick with a seat belt. With a seat belt? So I wouldn't fall off. Just hold on tight.
Broomstick for me. K. I'm gonna be behind you on the broomstick because I don't trust myself to drive it. So Oh, no. It's a broomstick for 1.
It's like a scooter. There's not tandem broomsticks. Yeah. It's just extra long. No.
Yes. No. Yeah. No. Get your own broom.
I don't want to. I wanna ride your broomstick. No. You're over here talking about carpets with other people. I'm riding on my broomstick.
I ride my own. Yeah. That's right. Would you rather this or that? Yeah.
Yeah. Looks like the weather is gonna be doing some weird stuff after today. Don't even talk about it. Well, Justin from next door from the hawk, he walked over and he said, I heard we're supposed to get snow tomorrow. Even talk about it.
And I didn't believe him, and I still don't. And I'm in maybe in denial. There is moisture in the forecast, but so far what I see is temperatures in the mid fifties, cloudy, windy with a couple of rain showers. That's what I see. Now it is like an 84% coverage area on the rain, so there's a lot of moisture.
Everywhere is gonna get rain, but I don't see snow in the forecast until closer to the end of the month. I see rain tomorrow. I see rain on Friday, and then I see some temperatures in the sixties for, like, a week or so. And then as we get toward the 28th October, that's the first time I see snow. Now that's just my weather source.
Everybody's got a different one on their phone, wherever, whatever website they look at, and it's all made up. It's just the weather. But, yeah, it's today is, like, the last real nice eighties, upper seventies day. Then we should all take the day off to enjoy it. K.
Deal. It's all downhill from here. Like, it's it's it's It's been so lovely. It has been very, very nice. But as of today, today's it.
Then then it's colder. We're talking overnight lows are not great. We're gonna be, you know, overnight low tomorrow night, 36. Overnight low, Friday night, 29. K.
Here's a couple of things we need to do. I know what I need to get done. I don't need a list from you. What are you honey doing? I said we.
Okay. That's real convenient how that we turns into a I'll do the inside stuff while you do the outside. Josh, I do outside stuff too. Uh-huh. I know.
What are the things, quote, unquote, we need to get done? We gotta put the hoses away. My job. We gotta take out the air conditioner. That's my job.
We gotta put the screens back in the window. Also my job. I can do that job. Gotta winterize the trailer. Yeah.
We gotta do that. No. I don't wanna winterize the trailer. We didn't use it enough. Well, that just we can still use it.
We just can't put water. Yeah. What else? So those are just the things. Just those?
Just those things. Yeah. I mean I've also gotta take care of the side of the house, and I've gotta get the trailer put away. And I've got, leaves, and I'm still trying to get into the street for leaf pickup. And there's plenty to do.
There is plenty to do. I know my list. I know you know the list. I wasn't trying to come down on you. Jeez Louise.
It it was very much like, okay. Here's it's time is now. Time is the worst. Is now. We got things to get done.
Like, I know. I'm aware. I'm not looking forward to it. But now you know, weather's a change. The weather is a changing.
