Full show transcript:
Well, I just got some news. What's your news? The news is the Artemis launch has been delayed. Oh no.
Yep. They're not going to be able to launch in February due to hydrogen leaks. Kind of an important reason to not launch. Yeah. Yeah. So the next launch window will be March. Oh my god. Early March.
March, March 7th through the 11th is the next potential launch window. Would you? Okay.
If you were all set to go on a rocket ship to space. Yeah. And they were like, oh, hold on. We've got a problem. We've got a problem.
Yep. I'd be like, thank you for finding that problem. Yeah, I know. But then would you be like, all set to go on the next date? Yeah, of course.
I mean, that's the whole plan. Here's the part that's kind of wonky though, is that the astronauts have been in quarantine for the past few weeks. Correct.
So they've been completely isolated so that they are in a, you know, a non-Germi area. Yeah. So now they have to maintain that status.
So they won't be able to leave. And now here's the other thing, or at least that's my understanding, is if this launch window doesn't happen, their next launch window after that is April 2nd through the 7th. So this is a potential of like almost four months in quarantine because you can't go get into germ zones and then come back like you've got to stay quarantined. So that's got to be frustrating. Yeah, I wouldn't like that. That's the part where I'd be like, are they quarantined together or are they each in their own little quarantine? I think the astronauts are quarantined together because they're going to exist together in the shuttle. Yeah, no, I get that, but I was just curious if they were quarantining alone. I think they're together as a group. And I think they have other people that are coming and going, but those other people have to be, like they have to go through levels of cleaning and things like that to get into where the astronauts are being, you know, where they're being held for their living quarters.
Yeah. Because they're still working. They're still doing mission prep. They're still running through all the tests and everything. I wonder, can you leave the fuel in the rockets on the thing for a month or do they have to drain it and then refill it?
I feel like you'd have to drain it. You think? I don't. I really have no clue.
I don't know. It doesn't feel safe to just leave it sitting. But a hydrogen leak, which I'm glad they caught, hydrogen, very flammable.
Not a good thing to have leaking on launch. No. So anyway, Artemis II launch window has been postponed to March. Okay. At the earliest, March 7th.
So good luck. Yeah, I know, right? Because they were supposed to be able to launch starting February 7th, but this leak is big enough and a big enough problem that they're now going up. Can't do it. We've got to push the window. Yep.
So that's why they have safeties and backups and all that other stuff. Yeah. Anyway, what day is it? Wednesday? Yeah. You want to get into the show? Yeah. Okay. All right.
All right. I know there is nothing you love more than thinking about what's for dinner first thing in the morning. That is the worst part about being an adult. I know. Is figuring out what's for dinner. Yeah.
What's for dinner tonight? I don't have any idea. Yeah. All right. Well, actually, I do know. Okay.
What do you got? I have, I think there's two choices left on the menu that I've made. A pad tie? Or? That just might be the last thing. Okay. That just might be the last. That sounded very scolding.
That's the last thing. The reason I asked was because today's a homemade soup day and I know you're a soup fan. I love soup.
And maybe you wanted to blow it up into a homemade soup. Yeah, sure. I just, to celebrate the day. I can make a homemade soup. What kind of soup do you like?
I like lots of different soups that you make. I mean, we don't have to, because then we'd have to go to the store and stuff. That sounds meh. I feel like I've got a lot of stuff. Do you? Depending on what we're cooking. Okay. I can do a, I know what I could do. Yeah? Yeah.
Like a, I could make a taco soup. Okay. But you know who's going to have a fit?
It's the 21 year old roommate that we have. That is correct. What about like a potato soup? Is there stuff for that? Yes.
Yes. That sounds nice. Want some potato soup? A baked potato soup. That sounds nice. It does sound nice. That's a hearty one.
I'd like a hearty one. Oh, would you? Yeah.
You don't think taco soup is hearty? That's fine. Yeah. No, that's good.
It's got a lot of fiber and protein in it. Yeah. That's not a bad choice. It's very similar to what we had enchiladas last night or enchilada casserole. So it's kind of in the same realm. Oh, I see.
So you might want to vary it up is what I was saying. You cook some soup. How about? Oh boy. I have, I have, I ever made a soup?
I've made a tomato bisque, but have I ever made anything but that? No, no, Josh. Hmm. Maybe it's your turn to cook.
You think? I've been cooking an awful lot lately. For sure last night. Yep. And then I cooked the night before when I made pork loin and potatoes. That's true.
You did make that. You know, it's just something that has to get done every day. Every day. And it is the hardest part of the day. It is. I know. Well, if you're thinking about what to eat for dinner tonight, homemade soup day.
Yeah. Or just have some homemade soup for lunch, maybe. A soup lunch with a side of a sandwich. That sounds nice. Mmm. Mmm. It sounds nice.
It does, doesn't it? Yeah. Let me tell you about Terrin Smith, who is, she's from Landlocked Omaha, Texas. She's from Nebraska.
Okay. That is about 1500 miles from any ocean. But she stepped out of her comfort zone and became the first American woman to row a boat solo across the Atlantic Ocean. Whoa. That's a thing to do. She was alone? Solo. It's a 3000 mile journey. I was going to say, okay, from where to where? Great question.
I don't think I have that information right here. Okay. You just say across. Yeah. So I'm thinking she's going from California to ... So that's the Pacific. Oh, yeah, yeah. So it would be the other side.
You're right. It would be somewhere on the East Coast to somewhere in Europe. It was a 3000 mile journey. What makes it truly mind blowing is that before signing up for the world's toughest row, she'd never even been on a row boat. What?
Yep. She spent 46 days alone at sea battling exhaustion as well as the element. And she finally pulled into Antigua. That is where she landed on January 29th. The quite a hero's welcome when she got there.
She kept fans updated along the way with Instagram stories about the beauty and the brutal discomfort of the open ocean. Yeah. But what she's kind of sharing here is that you don't need a lifetime of experience in order to achieve something legendary.
You just need the guts to start. And I like that. That's very true.
That's good advice. Why are you looking at me? I'm not looking at that.
Because you're the only other person in the room that I'm telling the story to. And that is advice that I've passed along. You need a willingness to try, a little bit of confidence and a support. But you need the guts to start. That is, she has to have a lot of guts to start that journey.
I know, right? She said it's good for us to be uncomfortable sometimes. I think it's part of the human experience. I agree.
Yeah. But I think uncomfortability is how you grow. It is right.
Growth is found in uncomfortable situations. And it's very true. So anyway, congratulations to Terri Smith. How old is she? Great question.
I don't know. Well, good job, Terrin. That's a pretty credible... She's kind of a young person. And the boat that she's in, she's in one of these modified ocean crossing type boats. It has a sleeping pod and a few different things. The outrangers and stuff.
Not that I see. It's kind of a weird looking vessel. But it's specially designed for this type of thing.
So anyway, good for her. That's incredible. Well done, Terrin.
That's good news. Let's talk about etiquette. Well, what kind? Because here's some etiquette tips that I'm reading a story about. Everyone should know. Things that happen every day that everyone should know and do. Things like take your cart back.
That's not on the list. That's just a normal, common courtesy. Hold the door for someone. Sure.
If someone is right behind you. You bet. I always do. And then sometimes I'll be like, they're a little further away and I could let the door shut, but I'll just wait. I'm in no hurry.
And then they do that hurry jog thing and I go, you don't have to run. It's okay. Yeah. And they're like, well, thanks. And I go, you bet. Don't stress. I'm just holding the door.
You're not holding me up. Let people exit an elevator before you enter. That is a very, we had a recent incident with this and I went, you need to chill.
I feel like that's like just not just etiquette, but just common sense. I have to get off before you can get on. There's no room for you.
But boy, was that woman furiously trying to get into the elevator and I went, you need to chill. It's settled. It's going to be okay. You're going to get a space in the elevator.
The thing's not going to leave until it's ready. So don't play loud music in public. Yeah. Or nature or nature. That's one that makes me crazy.
Go outside to have a nice float trip or I'm fishing or, you know, hiking, backpacking, all these things and somebody's got their music going. No. Thank you.
I'm not here to hear your terrible playlist. Cover your mouth when you cough or sneeze with your elbow. Preferably. If someone shows you a picture on their phone, don't just start swiping. Why would you do that? Why would you do that? That's dangerous. I know. Don't do that.
No, I don't even, sometimes there's been people that have tried to hand me their phone and they're like, look at this and I'm like, no, you hold it. Right. I feel, yeah.
Yeah. No, you hold it. I feel weird holding other people's phones.
Or they'll be like, go ahead. You can just swipe and I'm like, I'm not doing that. I'll go, here's the picture you wanted me to see. Yeah, you do all of the swiping for me.
Thank you. I had an app one time that you could put that on there and if somebody did try to swipe the photo, it took their picture. So their face was the next photo. I remember that. That was fun. Ew.
Why do you want to see what other people think? Yeah. No. Why do you have a selfie of me?
Oh, that's right now. Don't swipe. Stranger. Return borrowed stuff in the same condition or better. Yeah, totally agree. I am bad about returning stuff sometimes. Such as? Well, when we painted our basement, I had a stack of books and I noticed that I had four books that did not belong to me. Have they been returned yet?
No, they're on the coffee table waiting to be delivered to those people. Got it. I just keep forgetting. If I have your books, you know, you know, here's the thing, you know who you've let stuff to. That is correct.
So they know I have them. Right. I'm sorry. Can we get those back? I know. Or they don't and they go, who did I let borrow that?
It's probably that. I need to get those back. Sorry. Don't abandon your shopping cart in the middle of an aisle? Oh, unless it's an emergency. Like, you know, a kid has an incident or something and you need to go.
Okay. Then I go, but tell somebody like, you know, go, hey, we've got to run. We had an emergency. I'm not able to put all this stuff back. There you go.
I'm so sorry. Like let somebody know. Don't just like fill it full of refrigerated things and walk away. And then take what?
Take off. That's not nice. Right.
Especially if there's refrigerated stuff in there. That's what I'm saying. Don't comment on someone's food choices unless they ask. Okay.
That just, that includes. Who asks? Oh, well, I think this is mostly, if your parents make dinner, if your mom's making dinner, kids, listen up. Don't complain about it.
Right. Well, complaining about food that was made for you, I feel is different than offering feedback to somebody's food. Like you go, that looks gross. Yeah. That's rude. Right. Like, oh, I wouldn't have picked that. Or you're going to eat all those fries, huh? Whoa.
That's rough. You know, those fries are cooked in grease, not beef dallow. Whoa. That's the new thing. Have you heard this?
Oh yeah. I know all about beef dallow. Everyone's giving you grief about beef dallow. Yeah.
I don't care about beef dallow. Okay. And then the last one, if you're having a conversation, put your phone away.
Don't get your phone out if you're trying to have a conversation with people. True. That's not nice.
True. These are good etiquettes. These are just everyday etiquette. These are just everyday etiquette tips. Be a good human, you know?
It seems simple enough. Some days are harder than others. How's today going so far? So far, okay. Okay. All right. Good.
I think I found something I like even less than waiting for a package. Okay. What's that?
It's an online auction, like eBay. Okay. Did you? I did recently. Bade on something. I recently participated in an online auction. I stumbled across, I don't even know how it came about, but I found this auction and I found an item that I was interested in. I did some price checking because I'm that kind of guy. I'll go through and look at how much something is, like if I were to buy this new, how much would this cost? I know it's pre-owned.
It's part of either someone doesn't want it or they were cleaning up some stuff or it's part of an estate that's getting sold off, whatever it is. So I was looking through the items and I went, well, this is something that I've been looking for and it's probably easily $400 regularly. If I were to go buy this by myself, brand new, I'll bid $11.
Then it's sad at $11 for days and days and days until last night when the auction was getting ready to close. Have you ever done an online auction thing? No. Never?
No, because I don't like them. Man, so here's typically how it works is you'll bid up until you're winning the item. Right. So like $11, I was like winning.
I went, sweet. But then what you do is you set a maximum bid, which is where you say, here's the most I'm willing to spend on this thing. And then if other people come in and bid, it bumps up yours by those increments, right? Yeah. Okay. So that happened and I set my maximum bid at $36.
Okay. Because I thought this is $400 worth of stuff. If I get it for less than 40, I'm winning. Well, I won last night $34.50. Congratulations. So I didn't go over my max spend and I got $400 value if I were to buy it new, right? Which is pretty exciting. But boy is it stressful watching that thing in the last couple of seconds start ticking up to your max and I'm like, I don't want to spend more than this.
I have no desire to spend even $50. So why do you hate that then? It's stressful.
It's one of those things where you're like, okay, I could lose this thing because of my unwillingness and my stubbornness and other people going like, I want it too. That's the part where it went from $11 to $34.50 by the end of it. And I went, this is crazy. This is crazy watching this happen.
Last few seconds, everybody jumps in, starts making bids. I'm like, I didn't care for it. I didn't know you were doing that. I know.
I want to talk about it on the show. So it was an experience that I put myself into to see if I liked it. I don't care for it.
I sell some stuff on eBay, but I usually do it as like a, you can buy it now thing. The fact that you don't like it and you won means something because if you lost, you're not a good loser. No, I'd be upset. You would be very upset. You're right. Because you are not a good loser. And maybe that's what it was as people started bidding there at the end. I was like, this is slipping through my fingers.
Slipping through my fingers? Yeah, that's right. It's a vocal stem for an episode. But it wasn't like, it couldn't slip through your fingers because you never had it. It's not yours.
But it says winning. And so I was on the top. I was king of the hill.
And then all these other people were like, we're going to take this guy down. That's how it feels. It's like a big game.
It is. And you won. Congrats.
I did continue to win and be king of the hill when the school bell rang. That is right. What is the stuff? I knew you'd ask.
It's real boring. Is it fishing stuff? No. Is it truck stuff? No. Is it?
I don't know what else it would be. Camera stuff? Yeah.
I got like three things. It's either fishing truck or camera. Hiking. So yeah, or backpacking or hiking stuff, which, you know, there was there were some other things in here. But anyway, I'm excited. I have to go pick up some things today. So yeah.
La di da. I know. Congrats.
Yeah, thanks. We'd be singing a different tune if you'd lost. You're right. It would be, you know, what's really awful online auctions.
But it was stressful. I don't like that like build up to the closing of the auction. Like if you if you go to different group organizational fundraising events and they do those auctions, you know, and they've got tables of stuff and they're like, we're going to close this one in three seconds or whatever. Right. And you're standing there watching and then someone runs over with a pencil. Oh, I hate that. You get to watch that in real time, at least with the online thing.
I don't know who else was trying to win. Computers. Yeah. Bots. Yeah.
Somebody who knew how much my max was and they were like, we could get a little more dollars out of this. Yeah, let's get this guy up. Yeah, probably. Probably. Anyway. I won. Oh, so stressful.
A little bit. I am taking an online art class. You are. Mm hmm. When did this start? Last night. Okay. Well, good for you. Um, it actually started on Monday.
So I was a little bit late to the game. But what happens is this woman that I'm taking the class from, she gives me you a prompt and then you get to play. And then the next day she'll release a video about her process and her tutorial. So she gives you like, here's your prompt. Here's the supplies you need. Go do it.
Go do it. The prompt is. So she kind of gives you free reign. Yeah.
And then the next day she's like, okay, here's what I would do and here's this process and kind of like talk to you through it all. Interesting. So my prompt, and I should have done the prompt on Monday, but I didn't. So I just followed along with her as she did her tutorial. The prompt was messy.
All right. So she said, get watercolors, get paint and just make a mess. And that was it. That is the whole prompt. Okay. So I did. I wanted to see this piece because you came upstairs from your craft room later in the evening and you had shown your friends and I was feeling slighted that I wasn't involved.
So I'm curious about your. You never even came to check. I wasn't going to, you were in your mode. I'm not going to bug you when you're in your mode. That's your space. I'm giving you your, you, you earlier yesterday said, you know, it'd be nice to have some alone time. I went, I'm not going to bug her.
She's doing her thing. My second prompt was released this morning. Okay. Repetition is my second prompt. And she gives a list of tools, like ideas, different things that you can use.
And then she says, pick three and only use those three. Oh, wow. Okay. Cool. And so now I have to make just repetition. Nice.
I know. So you get to use your own imagination, your own creativity to create a piece. And then tomorrow you'll get a, okay, let's go through a process. Interesting. I know. That's very cool.
I like that approach to a class because it gives you the space to be creative and to do what you want to do without, without the rules. Well, and I did that. I mean, I was following along with what she was doing, but I wasn't following her. So I was doing my own thing. She was just on in the background.
I got you. So last night when I did my messy project, she had different colors. She had different techniques. Yeah. I was just making my own thing. Yeah. Great.
It was super fun. Do you have a picture of your piece? Can I see it? I do. Yeah. I'd like to. Okay. It's in real time at home.
Well, I know, but we're not at home. So I can't see it like in real person. In real person?
And yeah, I can't like see it in front of my face. So well, good for you. Thanks. It was fun.
That should be fun. How long does the class last? I think it's just a couple of weeks. Okay.
I don't actually know. But here's what I was going to say. I don't like that I get the prompt early in the morning because I got it right this morning. And now you're thinking about it? Because now I just want to go do it. Yeah. Like I'm itching to get home and do it. Is it like an email thing?
Yeah. She just emails the prompt. So you should just save the email till later and don't open it when you get your next one. That's nonsense. I'll never do that. Why?
Because I want to know what the prompt is. But then you're just going to want to like skip the rest of the responsibilities. I know. Now I just want to go home.
Ugh. I want to be at home making art. Let me go home and make art. It's not fair.
Yeah. That's like the most toddler noise. I just want to go home and make art.
Being an adult is so not fair. Sorry. I know it. It's the way it goes. Hey, so I told you there was a baby giraffe yesterday. Yeah.
Baby giraffe has a name as of, well, I saw it this morning. Go to my Facebook page. You have that open? No.
My Josh Tyler one. Would I have that open? No. I meant do you have Facebook open on your computer or anywhere? Here. I'm here. Okay.
It's pretty easy to open it up. You've got to just look at this giraffe. I shared it on my Facebook page. You did. They named him Hal. Okay. And I said Hal is rad.
The internet needs more Hal. Look at him. Check him out. He's the, like, I got to hang with this guy. He's the coolest. He is the best. He's as tall as me.
So we would see eye to eye on things. Is he really? That's a funny joke. He is as tall as you? Yeah.
So we would see eye to eye on things. You see? I don't get it.
Okay. Well, look at his face. I like Hal a lot. He's great.
It is great. I like he's exploring. He's checking things out.
He's doing big draft stuff. I'm going to go here now and I'm going to share your post on the glassy page. Hey, that sounds good. That's a good idea. Yeah.
Yeah. Anyway, you got to check out Hal. Hal is pretty great. How old is Hal? He's just brand new.
How many days old? Just a few. I don't know. I don't know the answers, but I do like Hal.
Let's see. But of course, people are upset in the comments about his name being Hal. They're like, he's too cute to be Hal.
I'm like, no way. Hal's cute. Hal's awesome. I think Hal's a cute name.
Yeah, I do too. Anyway, if you want to go see Hal, he is available. He's available in person at the Hogle Zoo in Utah, which I think we got to get down there.
I got to meet Hal. Are they open though? Well, I don't have to go like right this second. I'm just saying that like sometime this season, I got to go see Hal. Yeah, but Hal's going to grow. They don't stay in the animal kingdom. They don't stay babies for very long. Well, I know that.
Okay. But he's going to be little for a while and he's going to be a huge attraction. You're going to want to go see him. He's a little nostril.
He keeps flaring his nose. I know. He's great. He's so good.
He's so good. They're keeping him inside until it warms up. So even if they're open right now, which it says they're open right now, but I'm going to wait till it's a little warmer so he's outside doing stuff. Let's take a trip to the Hogle Zoo. I love the Hogle Zoo. My aunts used to take us there when we were younger. We went there every time we went to visit our aunts in Utah. I mean, I think I've been there two or three times now. And then they'd always give us a smashed penny.
The last time we went, the very last time we went, the train was broken. Was it? Yeah. Was it? I don't remember.
I think it was. And that's one of the biggest attractions. Right in the train. Let's go ride the train at the Hogle Zoo. Anyway, I'm excited to go meet Hal. I got to meet that guy. He's a good looking giraffe. I just want to go take his picture. He's pretty cool.
He is pretty great. So anyway, if you want to see him, it's now shared on the Classy Facebook page as well. Correct. All right.
Go check out Hal. We're doing some workout. When? Like maybe some home strength training. Yeah. Oh. Last night? I guess. Yeah, I was. Oh, okay. My YouTube algorithms all messed up. Because somebody started searching home strength workouts in my YouTube account. Yeah. It was hard to get past all the fishing videos. Yeah, I bet.
You're welcome. I just wanted to know if that was you or somebody else in the house. Because I knew it wasn't me. No, it was me. Yeah.
Okay. I had to keep kicking the dog out. Because she kept up the bedroom.
Oh. Because I was doing some home strength exercises in the bedroom. And then the dog kept poking her head in.
And I was like, get out. And she'd be like, what are you doing? What are you doing doing pushups on the floor? Can I get into your face while you're doing pushups? Did I help?
That's nice of her to offer to help you out with your home strength workouts. Okay. I had to turn it off after a while because I was so mad at whatever video I had picked. There was a woman like the trainer, the teacher, and then she had two women with her. And the one woman was going to be doing extreme strength training. So if you wanted a little more of a push. And the other woman was going to be doing some moderate versions.
Okay. But they were both named Abby. And she called one Abby and one Abigail. But she kept messing them up. She'd be like, Abby. I mean, Abigail.
Oh, man. So that was annoying. But then the one who was like the more intense one, she just kept like, good job, Abby. You're doing great.
Oh, Abby, good job. But then the moderate one, the one that was like, not so intense. She just would give no compliments to. There was no support. There was no reinforcement.
She would just, the one that was like real intense, she'd be like, great job. So I got annoyed and I said, I'm not watching this anymore. Turned off. Yeah.
Do you know how to change profiles? That was going to be my next question. Yeah. Oh, okay. I did.
I just clicked yours because it was the first one. Yeah. It was easy. Oh, okay. It's fine, Josh.
I mean, you know, I'm not looking for home strength workouts because now it's going to start. You should. Hey, hey, hey, hey. What? I don't even know. I've been completely derailed because you looked me up and down and said I should. Rude. You said something. It doesn't even matter anymore. My feelings are too hurt. My balloon's deflated.
I don't even know what to say. I guess I need some home strength workouts. I mean, we could do them together except I'm not watching that video again because. I don't need to hear about Abby and Abigail. I don't need workout drama. I was so mad. I went, she's just doing just as much work.
Hers is the start of this in dance. Do you remember Ty Boe? You remember that? Yeah. Yeah. I saw a clip on the internet the other day and it said, Hey, don't feel bad because if you watch closely on this video, only the like woman up front who he's talking to is keeping up with the program.
Look at everybody else. And there were people that couldn't get their leg above their ankle. Try and to do the Ty Boe kicks.
Their leg above their ankle. Oh, it was. Well, yeah, you stand on one and lift the other one. But the one lady was like this, like kicking out like this, like all crazy.
And there were people that were like down here. You got to watch it. Like if you go watch the actual workout tapes, people are not keeping up with him.
I'm going to show you the video I watched last night because even the trainer, she just kept going. Do you guys, are you guys doing okay? But she was just looking at the intense Abby and she was like, are you doing okay? Do you need some water? She never asked the other one, just the one.
Well, she obviously wasn't working hard enough to need water or deserve it. Who? Whichever of the abbeys. The intense one? No, the non-intense one.
She wasn't working hard enough. You don't get water. Waters for people who work out for real. Well, they just kept saying, no, we're fine. We'll get a drink of water when we want.
Just keep going. What was her purpose? The trainer? Unsure. Because all she was doing was talking to the one who was doing the demo. I don't understand what you were watching. I didn't like it. Yeah. I don't like just even hearing about it.
No, I didn't even finish it. I was like, I'm going to not do this anymore. Don't shame people for working out. I know.
Nobody needs workout drama. I know. And also log into your own account. All right.
Thanks, bye. There is an online influencer who has noticed that men are keeping notes on the women that they're dating. That's interesting. Such as not like nasty notes or anything.
No, no. I was thinking it was probably going to be notes about like things they like. Her favorite snacks. Yeah, yeah. Her favorite show. Yeah, that checks out. Her clothing sizes.
Yeah, I'd be totally makes it. Her pick the toppings. Yep.
Books they're reading. That's right. I think that's great. Yeah, I think that totally makes sense.
And the idea is that men are listening. What? What?
Since when? Listen, guys, hide your notes. We don't need them to know that we're listening the whole time.
Well, not the whole time. Keep up the stereotype. I think you are good at paying attention.
I don't think you're always good at listening. What do you mean? That makes sense.
No. I don't know how to explain it better than that. I think you're paying attention, but you're not listening. All right. I think you're more observant than listener. Still not connected dots. I know.
I can't say anything better than that. And there's a whole bunch of people, half the population or more, that are like, she knows what she's talking about. And then the other, you know, 50% or so of us are sitting over there going like, she's making no sense. But I don't think that's always true either.
I think there are times where it can flip flop and you're a better listener than you are an observer. Do what now? I don't know. I don't know what I'm trying to say.
No, that's fine. I'm sure it makes sense because it has to. I just don't understand what you mean, probably because I'm not listening.
I'm just hearing it or something to that effect. Can you give an example of something that I paid attention to but didn't listen to? I think you pay attention in the way that like, you know what my favorite snacks are. So you're watching, I was going to say you're watching what I'm eating, but like you're paying attention to that kind of stuff. You know what books I'm reading because you happen to notice.
But if I'm telling you something, you're not always listening. Does that make sense? No. Does that make it easier?
I get what you're getting at and I'll work on it, whatever that means. But as far as the notes are concerned, I'm glad people are taking the time to focus and pay attention to those things. It's important. It is important. And if it helps you so much when you go like, I want to get a little thinking of you gift or you know, I'm at the store and or I get sent to the store and then it's like, hey, while you're there, grab this and you might not know what size or type or color preference or whatever. You know, like if you said, go get my foundation. Uh oh. I don't know if I could.
I would say send me a picture of the bottle. That's okay because that's not necessarily something that you need to pay attention to. Right. But do you know what I mean? Yeah.
Like so that's that's attention based items. You're saying that I don't always listen like when you're telling me stories about things about people about your day. How many times we have a friend. I have a friend coming into town this weekend. Yeah.
How many times have you said to me? Yeah. Is that this weekend? Super cool. Super cool weekend. Yeah.
What is that? You've said that three or four times. I just have so many things going on with dates in my head. Oh, yeah. It must be so hard for you to keep it all straight.
It is. I should use a calendar but I don't like to. Is this on the calendar, this visit? No. That would help.
You don't even look at the calendar. Why would it help? How would it help you? I don't know. It wouldn't.
No, it wouldn't. I'll just ask again. You'll tell me in a couple of days that it's happening and I'll go this weekend. Yeah, I know. Okay.
Got it. We started a show last night. I finished a show last night. I made it halfway. I maybe. I think I've made a good chunk of it. Yeah.
At least. It's a documentary about Chevy Chase. What's cool about it is I didn't know a lot of stuff about him. I just knew you see him in Christmas vacation. I know some of his SNL history but I didn't know very much. I didn't realize I didn't know very much about him.
But I know a lot more now. Do you? Yeah.
You said you kind of like him. Listen, here's the thing. I think he says right in the beginning of the documentary that he doesn't want people to understand him. He's like, I'm complex. I'm deep. I don't like being vulnerable. He's like I'm not.
Nobody likes being vulnerable. He builds big walls and he uses his kind of attitude as a way to turn people off so they'll quit investigating. Interesting. It's really interesting.
Because he has some reputation of being kind of a jerk. I love SNL and I read a book years and years and years ago about the beginnings of SNL. Belushi. Yeah. Well, in the documentary he talks about the Lemmings, right? The group that he was part of.
With Christopher Guest. Yeah. Who is the? Yeah, right. But Belushi was part of that. There were several. I think Akroyd was in there as well. And that's where a lot of the first cast from SNL came from. But it was interesting because Lauren Michaels and had Chevy come in originally to be a writer for SNL and then Chevy was like, I want to be on stage.
I want to perform. And Lauren was like, I don't think that's right. And then ended up like, okay, let's do it. And that ended up turning into a huge, huge career for him. But he left very abruptly and moved to LA. It happened quickly and a lot of people were like, what?
And he kind of talks about how he regrets that decision and then sort of gets back all the way 50 years later, the 50th anniversary of SNL just a few years ago. And they didn't put him on screen. And it really hurt him. And he's like, this is the first time I've really talked about it, but it hurt a lot. And it was really, it was sad to kind of dive into it a little bit.
It's really fascinating. It is sad, but he also treated people terribly. Honestly, there's multiple accounts from people who worked with him that were like, For sure. Yeah, he was kind of a jerk. And that's showcased in the documentary. Even his time on the show community, a lot of the younger actors and stuff weren't super stoked about working with him.
He was not a nice guy. It's addressed pretty heavily in the thing. It's really interesting. I was really blown away.
And then to know where he is now and his daughters are in it and his wife is there, Janie. It's really, it's really fascinating. It is fascinating.
It's a very fascinating story. When I read that SNL book years and years ago about Belushi and Belushi was like, I didn't like him. We did not get along. Then I went, I'm on Team Belushi. Yeah.
And I have been ever sick. Yeah, I get it. And the documentary, I think, does a good job of showing like, yeah, he's not always a nice person, but then they kind of get into the root of it as to like, why? And that's where I go like, I feel bad for this guy. Yeah, I get it. But we all have our hangups. Sure. But then you just got to be a nice person.
Yeah. And he has a really big heart for people too. And it's in there as well. It's really, really neat. It really is.
I really enjoyed it. It's called I'm Chevy Chase and You're Not. Which famous line from Chevy Chase. And it's on Netflix, right? HBO, maybe.
HBO, maybe. I don't know. I can't remember. Yeah.
Really interesting though. I had a good time with it. You should finish it because it's worth it. Okay. I will. I just...
I learned a lot. I'm not sold on him, Josh. Yeah, look, but even if you're not... I think he's a great comedian, but I don't think he's a nice person. What's interesting is he's actually not like a great stand-up comedian. He's a sketch guy. He's a creative guy. He's witty. He's got funny lines. He's a complete movie star. He's flat.
And he knows it. And so that's really interesting. But like landing in LA and then getting that movie with Goldie Hahn right out the gate. That was huge in the late 70s, early 80s. It was massive for his career. What was that called? Now I can't even remember. Anyway, it doesn't matter. Some of it F. Yeah, it was foul.
It's the word that I can't... Foul play. Thank you. Anyway, great documentary if you care.
If you're like, it's Chevy Chase, whatever. It's fine. I really thought it was neat. I like documentaries. Yeah, I thought it was really fascinating. I'm curious to know about people.
Yeah. I'd like to hear your opinion after you finish it to see if you still are like... I'm interested in your take. I mean, this guy's like in his 80s, right?
Yeah. And so you can't really tell 80 years worth of a life in an hour or so. So to be fair, it's definitely one person's story in this documentary. But I felt like they really approached multiple angles and gave you a little bit more insight into maybe why he is the way he is.
And that's where I went. I kind of... It's admirable because he's had to cope so hard. It's cool. It's just cool. Okay. I'll finish it.
Yeah, you should. When does it hit you that you're not a young person anymore? Speak for yourself. What do you mean? What happened? I did some exercise yesterday. Yeah. And I woke up home strength workout. And other stuff.
I did other stuff too. I did a little bit of yoga and stretching. What are your arms, bro? My arms are sore. Oh no. From what?
I don't know. I woke up. Here's what happened. I woke up in the middle of the night and I had been sleeping at a weird angle or something and so my neck was a little bit messed up and then my arm feels a little sore and then I just woke up like, shake it off.
But it's not getting shaken off. Here's what I know to be true about starting a workout routine. It's going to take some time for your body to bounce back. I know. And every time I start, okay, I'm going to go do some lifting or I'm going to go do some of the machines in the circuit or I'm going to go do a treadmill or whatever it is.
Yes. About two days later, I'm like, what have I done to myself and why have I done this? And then it takes a good couple days of recovery and then I'm like, okay, I'm kind of at about 90%, I should go back in and do it again. And then I go, nah, just don't. And then I talk myself out of it. So I think you got to fight through that a little bit. I'm going to keep going.
I am. I'm just, I feel like I was able to bounce back easier 10 years ago. And now I'm like, oh, it just, shake it off.
All right. Shake it off. It's not getting shaken off.
Yeah, no, it's not going to. You're going to have a recovery time. Drink some water. Maybe take an ibuprofen, I guess. Yeah.
Do something like that. Like I've got some, some big hiking coming up this summer that I'm greatly looking forward to, but I've got to get myself in shape. Like I have to. Like I need to start a year ago, getting ready for some of the stuff that I'm planning on doing. And so, yeah, I need to get walking a lot and you get my body moving. So that's, that's in my future.
A lot of body movement. I'm here for it too. Yeah.
As the Beastie Boy said, what did they say? Body moving. Okay, good grief. Body moving.
I don't think that's even the right rhythm, but that's fine. You know that stair climbing machine? I need to go do that. Yeah, I do that.
I've got verticals coming. Actually, because I have a very sedentary, I have two jobs and both of them are very sedentary. I sit all day. And so I tried very hard yesterday to just put more movement into my day. And I went the long way to the restroom.
Okay. We have a couple of different restrooms at my second place of employment. And I said, I'm going to take the one upstairs. So I went upstairs every day. You did the stairs, not the elevator? Correct.
I did the stairs. Good. I know it.
Thank you. Like even I've planned big trips. I've planned a couple of small trips for you and me and the kids. If they want to go, whatever.
Yep. I'm trying to put together several different outdoor adventures so that we can have a good time. So I know, but we got to get moving.
I know that's everything else. We're going to regret it. All these like older than us people are like, you can't stop moving because once you stop moving, that's when your body starts to wilt. Nice. So we got to, Josh, why are you doing water aerobic arms?
Because we're in. I'm not doing water aerobic arms. You've got to move. What are those? You look like you're holding milk jugs doing water aerobics. It's called movement. Maybe you don't recognize it. It's something. Shake it off. It's right.
It's my cottage cheese moves. No. That's what you said. No, it's not what I said. That is what you said. I said you had lumpy movement.
Cottage cheese. And it was when you were dancing, not when you were moving your arms like water aerobics. Those are different things. It's so nice to me. Well, you know. That's it. It's all you got to say for yourself. Those are really nice compliments. Your head tilted.
I thought it was going to spin all the way around. Well, I just found out that Def Leppard has got a residency going in Las Vegas right now. I know, I know. That's a bucket list fan. I know it is. And they are currently performing through February 28th.
So all this month at the Coliseum at Caesars Palace. OK. So I said, how much are tickets to see Def Leppard? Because because listen, they're not going to be alive forever.
That's what I'm saying. And then after they wrap up their residency, they're doing a few shows in India. Then they're headed to Sweden, Finland, Switzerland, Belgium, Germany, UK, France, back to Germany, then the United Arab Emirates. I'll go watch him in Sweden.
That'd be neat. So I said, they're in Vegas for the month. Maybe, maybe it's worth trying to go see him. So I said, well, let's look at like, you know, the Saturday shows are going to be expensive because a lot of people will make it to a weekend show. Yeah.
Yeah. So I said, let's look at like a Tuesday. So I pulled up a Tuesday show Tuesday, the 17th and the least expensive tickets available right now want to guess how much for one ticket. And I'm going to tell you, this is nosebleeds. This is section 400. So if if general admission is the floor, the first seats are 100. Then you have mezzanine 200, 300, 400. This isn't a 400 section. I'm going to say they're about 85 a piece. 140. Get out of town.
Yeah. So then I said, all right, well, what about a Thursday? Let's go to Thursday, the 19th least expensive tickets. Also, fourth mezzanine, level 400, 311 a ticket. Out of town. 311 dollars a ticket.
Deaf leopard. So then I said, let's go a little further out, right? That's pretty soon. That's within a couple of weeks. Let's stretch a little bit. Let's go to Tuesday, the 24th. 205.
103 for level 400 again. So you want to move closer. GA, you want to stand in the pit? No. But it but that's an experience. Yeah.
Three three hundred and seventy four dollars per ticket. Yeah. Deaf leopard. What? You've got a one arm drummer. What are you trying to pull?
Oh, it's funny. OK, so those are beat the line general admission tickets, which lets you get closer to the stage. If you just want to go GA, it's one hundred and thirty dollars a ticket to stand on the floor. They were they were at the USANA. Yeah.
In Utah, not too long ago, which is now called something else. But yes, yeah. For a theater or something. It's called the. What's it called? I don't know. It doesn't matter.
Some bank or credit. It is. It's the Utah first credit union amphitheater rolls off the tongue. The Utah first credit union amphitheater. Yeah, they were there.
It's whoever gave them money to revamp it. Um, anyway, they were expensive. Yeah, just there. I remember trying to buy tickets to that and I went, I'm unwilling to pay that.
Yeah. Well, they did that tour with Journey that also went to Boise and stuff. And we were at a different show when that was being advertised. And we were we should have probably gone there because they were cheaper than yes, those ones in Vegas.
Yes, they were still more than I was willing to. I know Thursday, February 26th. Let's just look Joe Elliott. We got to get you on the phone and say, OK, cut us a deal, bud. On Thursday, the 26th, the the it's a row closer.
Joe Elliott is the lead singer in case you didn't know that. It's in the three hundreds. There are 184 a piece. And if you want to stand in the pit on Thursday, February 26th, it's three hundred and forty six dollars. I'm not even kidding you.
So I look, I know you want to see them. Not for that price. But the residency is insane. Not for that price.
It's insane. If you wanted to go see them, you said in Sweden. That one sold out.
You can't seriously. Well, I was trying to see if you get tickets to Helsinki. Let me see if you can see them in Finland. That'd be cool. I want to see how much they are.
Much more expensive because we've got travel. I need to translate this page. You can't read it. I'm going to end up buying tickets. That's going to be problem. Don't.
Why doesn't want me to put in my card information? Now it goes to Ticketmaster. Let me see how much they're selling these tickets for.
Very quick. Telling you, let's let's give a talking to. That old Joe Elliott, the lead singer, in case you didn't know. I don't say Joe, Joe, Joe, Joe, my guy. Yeah.
When I was 12 years old, I had a poster of you hanging in my bedroom. Right. He wants to hear that story. Two hundred and sixty dollars a ticket. In in Helsinki. That's insane. Yeah, maybe these ones are cheaper.
Let me search this really quick. It's it's OK. No, they're not because I mean, let's just go, you know, let's just go to Finland and see the show. Sure, is what I'm saying. Sure. All right. Well, OK. Well, I guess I'm just going to have to watch old videos. I guess so.
Because. Rocket, baby. That's expensive. Come on. Would you rather this or that? Would you rather have more time or more energy?
Um. Probably time, I think. Because if I had more time to do the things that I like to do, I probably wouldn't feel so tired about having to not be able to do the things I want to do. Yeah. But if you had more energy, you could breeze through all the stuff that you wanted to do.
In smaller amounts of time. No. Yeah.
Yeah. I don't I don't hear your logic on that. For me, it'd be if I had more time, I could use some of it to nap. I could use some of it to do what I want to do. I could use some of it to go explore. I could use some of it to do whatever.
Yeah. If I had more time, but I don't have more time. No, I want more time. But that's the thing about time. You'll just always want more.
There's never a question. But even if you have 24 hours in a day right now, if I go bling magic, bling, you get you get 42 hours in a day now. You're still not. You're going to waste most of that time. And you're going to be like, there's no time to do anything.
Why do you think you're going to say? And then you're going to say, I need more time. And I'm going to say, I just gave you 24 more extra hours. And you're going to say, it's not enough. You gave me not 24.
You gave me less than that. You mean like 18 additional hours. You said there were 42. You said bling 42 hours. Yeah. That is not an additional 24. That is 18.
Okay. So, but with that additional 18 hours, I'm stoked because now maybe I can get some real sleep for more hours, which would be great. But I can also have more time to do the things that aren't work. Yeah, except you're going to say. How do you know what I'm going to say? You're going to say, I need more time because I've wasted all this time and I don't have time. Well, I'm picking more time anyway.
That's what I'm picking too. Oh, really? Is that right? You tried to defend the other one and then backed away. I see how it is. You like my logic.
No, I didn't like your logic. I always knew I was going to go with more time. I was just trying to get you convinced to pick energy. Nah, I'll have plenty of energy. Oh, well, yeah.
With all your napping. That's right. You get it now. See. I saw something somewhere that said that there was a guy who went to Puxitani for Ground Park Day.
Oh, he did. And then somebody was a little bit jealous because they've always wanted to go there. And that got me thinking about bucket list events that I would like to go and do.
All right, such as? I want to go see the tulips in Holland. Oh, that's a good one. Is that something you can see only like one time a year?
Or? Well, yeah, because it's tulip season. So you have to go late March to mid May.
So in Amsterdam, it says, yeah, mid April is best, specifically between the second half of April and early May. Yeah. So we have to go to the Garden of Europe. It's what it's called. Is that the place? Yep. Tulip Festival, Amsterdam happens.
March 19th through May 10th. That looks amazing. I know, let's go. Plus, it's in Amsterdam. Right. Want to just go? Sure.
Forget that fluttered. We were talking about getting tickets to them, but let's go see the tulips. All right. So now if you want to just go to the festival, it looks like you got to pay well to get in there. Yeah. It's kind of expensive. I know. Everything is expensive. Did you see how much?
No. How much? So entry with a return bus transfer is $42. That's not that much per person. That's fine.
I'm just telling you, you've got to pay some money. I know. Worth it.
It looks incredible. I would pay that. That's a price I'm willing to pay. Yeah. And so which one are you talking about? Oh, I was talking about the Q-Kin half garden. That's the one I'm looking at.
OK. Yeah. That's the one I'm seeing. There's big wooden shoes in that. Come on. Yeah. It looks amazing. I know.
That's a huge area too. When we were in San Diego, we went to a flower place I took you to. Yeah. And what was that place called? Do you remember? No.
Yeah, I think you would. Is there any bucket list events that you would like to go see? Um... Like the Running of the Bulls? No. Or Oktoberfest? No. Or Dia de Muertos? Dia de los Muertos?
Yeah. Or... The Flower Fields is what it's called in San Diego.
Or... That one was really pretty. Cherry Blossom season in Japan. OK. Let's go there. Again, we happened to be in San Diego during the Cherry Blossom Festival that happens in San Diego. We got to see some of that.
Now, I imagine it's something else in Japan. We saw the miniature reversions of each of those in San Diego. You are correct. And the Renoculus, that was the flowers.
The Renoculus Fields were RENOCULUS. You know what I'm saying? I also, one of these days, I'm going to go to the European Christmas markets. I absolutely want to do that. I know. Yeah. Where was that one that we... There's... That we watched. Well, there's some in Germany and Austria and Scandinavia. Was the one in Germany the one with that big, old, like, dark-looking church building?
I think so. Man. Yeah, there was like a YouTube video where somebody was just street walking through the Christmas market. It was so beautiful. Yeah. Really amazing.
And it was snowing. I think it's this one. Yeah. No, I definitely want to do that. Gorgeous. That would be amazing.
Yeah, I don't know where they are, but those Christmas markets look absolutely so cool. I know it. Let's do it.
Yeah. We could go to... They do one in Budapest, which would be cool. They do one in Romania. They do one in Denmark. Yeah, it is the one in Cologne in Germany, the Cologne Christmas market.
That one is crazy looking. We got some time. We can save. Yeah, just take some time off.
Go to Germany for Christmas. I mean, why not? Crazier ideas have been hatched.
That is true. Anyway, there's a few things, I guess, on the bucket list. I'm trying to think if there's anything where I'm like, yes, I have to do that.
But I don't... I don't know. You don't want to go run with the bulls? No.
Why? I do not. I don't like that. I don't like it either. I don't want to be involved in it. I don't want nothing to do with it.
What about New Year's Eve and Times Square? Nah. Yeah, same. I'm not going to go stand around for hours and hours and hours in a diaper.
It's not going to happen. Well, and for what? Yeah. For confetti? Nah.
Yeah, nothing. More fun would be to get on the crew to work it. I would rather work it than stand there.
Why? Because one, you're going to have access to bathrooms. Two, all of the confetti is thrown out by hand. And so I would do a confetti toss thing.
I'd be stoked about that. Yeah, but then you're going to have to clean it all up. No, that's a different part of the team.
I'm going to be on the throw the confetti crew. You don't get to choose what team you're on. Yeah, you do. I mean, you do in real life. Yeah, but what if they're like, hey, you also have to, you're on the throw committee and the cleanup.
I'd be like, what else is there? Can I push the button for the ball? Nope. Why?
Because somebody else already has that job. Can I push the button for the pyrotechnics? No. Well, I'm not going.
You've taken all the fun out of it. You made it work. I didn't want to, didn't want it to be work.
You have access to bathrooms. Yeah, I didn't want it to be work. So if we're good about it. What about the Krampus Festival?
Nope. That thing's crazy, though. Those guys are nuts.
I know. I would love to go see that. I think that would be. Oh, what about the Romanian dancing bears thing? No. You don't want to go see that?
No. Why? Because that's crazy. It's people. I know. It's not bears. It's just people. The Krampus is people, too. Yeah, but they're crazy.
The dancing bears just dance. What about like Carnival in Rio de Janeiro? Would you go to that? Yes.
You would? Yes. OK. What about that in India, that paint festival thing? Oh, yeah. That would be neat. Yes. Yeah. Oh, yeah. What's that called? I don't know. There's several things that would be really interesting to see. The Holi Festival.
Sure thing. The Festival of Colors. I'm probably butchering that pronunciation. Holi? Maybe. Something like that?
Sounds, that sounds, you might be on to that. All right. Let's wrap up the show. OK. Anything else you want to say? No. OK, see you tomorrow. Have a good day.
