Full show transcript:
You know the big mouth Billy Bass? Oh yeah, the singing fish that hangs on the wall. Yeah, do you remember what?
The Beck wants one, really bad. Do you remember what song he sang? Take me to the river.
Yes, good job. Drop me in the water. The songwriters of that song that was made in 1974, they've earned more money from the royalties of the use of that song on that fish than. Then they did by the song on its own. Yeah. And I don't even think it sings the whole song.
No, it doesn't. And then when the batteries are going low and it's mwah-mwah-thuh-thuh-thuh-thuh-thuh-thuh. That's when it gets really weird and the fish is like eh-eh-eh-eh-eh-eh.
It's mouth all weird and open. That's all we had to do. Can you find one of those? That's our claim to fame. I always thought it was like making a Christmas song, but all we have to do is put it on some gimmick. Yeah.
Make a song, put it on a gimmick. I'm looking at Amazon right now. $53.
No way. Who even wrote Take Me to the River? Drop me in the water. Take me to the river.
Yeah. Turn my friend away. Man, how do you get your hands on one of these? I don't want to pay $53.
I don't know. I'm sure you can find one at written by Al Green and Maboon Teenie Hodges. Maboon? No kidding. Yeah. Well, here's the deal. You can find one for $40, pre-owned on eBay, $15 pre-owned on eBay. Hey, there you go.
Let's take a look. Is this one non-working? Because that's my fear. That it's not going to work.
Yeah. We're not going to get one of these. You don't want to? I absolutely do not. You don't? Nope. But why not? No, no, no. This is a vintage 1999 Big Mouth Billy Bass singing fish wall plaque, four parts repair, which means it's non-working.
Exactly. The jaw is not moving as it should. It looks like it's trying, but perhaps it's a bit stuck.
Surface rubs and blemishes on corners as shown. His jaw is stuck. His lips just stuck open.
So when he sings, he turns his head and his jaw doesn't move. Okay. Well, that's a bummer. So I don't want one.
Why? Because one that you find is not going to be working. I will find a working one.
We don't need a working one. And it's motion activated. So every time you walk past, it goes, take me through the river.
His tail goes flappy, flappy, flappy. Are they, they're not push button? No. It's motion activated.
Oh, yeah. I turned on the motion activated. So every time you walk into a room, where would I put it in the house?
I move it around. And you'd be like, that's stupid fish. Yeah, I would hate that fish. He would hide it.
It'd be on all kinds of spots. Take me through the river. And then guess what? I'd rip it down and I would destroy it. It's a $53 purchase. Don't make me spend it more than once.
I know. Grab me in the water. You're like, yeah, I'm going to drown this fish. Yeah, which is funny because because it's a fish, you can't drown a fish. But you can, you can drown a big fish.
No, you can tune a guitar, but you can't tune a fish. That's how the joke goes. Get your dad jokes right. Let's start today's show. Okay.
What? Oh, hey, how you doing there, buddy? Hey, what's up, pal? What's up, big guy? What's up, lady? Where do you, where do you want to begin? I don't know. What do you want to talk about? At the beginning, I guess.
All right. So back in February of 1982, nine months after you were born, I was born. That's the beginning for me.
That is the beginning for you. Hey, what's going on this Wednesday, everybody? Hey, it's a Wednesday. How about that? How about it? If every Monday was a Wednesday, if every weekend was five day weekend, I mean, if all the gum drops were lemon drops and if all the ifs and buts were candy and nuts, or whatever they say, we don't have a wonderful Christmas. Yeah. That all the raindrops were gum drops and lemon drops and gum drops.
How's it? Oh, what a rain that would be. That's what I was trying to say. How about that rain yesterday? No, we, I got. No, you've started it. No, I have to end it.
You don't. How about that rain yesterday? It wasn't candy.
No, it wasn't. And it was rainy for a while. We need the moisture.
That's what they say. And we do. We do need the moisture, but that's what everybody says every time it rains. We need the moisture.
Yeah, we sure could use it. Watered my lawn. I didn't have to do anything. I like that one. You, you like a good puddle? Sure. To walk through, to drive through, to ride your bike through all the way.
I like riding my bike through it. Yep. Okay.
I like riding my bike through puddles. All right. Look at what we've accomplished already. I mean, up and at them, we got stuff to do.
Like talking about riding through puddles. Hitting the hard stuff today, guys. We are hitting the hard news today. Now, if you're here for some hard hitting news, you're in the wrong spot.
Go somewhere else. We're just here to have fun. Yeah.
And talk about nonsense. I like it. All morning long. You can count on that. Hey, we're back in the studio after a five day weekend. It's nice to be back in the chair. Is it? It is. I feel a little disoriented because a lot of my things were misplaced.
And so things have shifted and moved. But look, I don't own this room. I just get to use it to be creative and work every day.
Right. And, you know, I kind of have things the way I like them, but it's kind of like my office. So it is a little bit, I don't know the right word, challenging when you walk in and stuff's in a little different spot and you go like, hey, put it back where it was, you know? That's kind of how I feel. Walking into the room this morning is a little bit like, man, you could have put that back.
Other than that, feeling good. Okay. Yeah. I'm feeling good too.
Yeah. How's your side of the room? Is everything where you left it? Yep. What's that like? Good. Good. Good. Good. Good. Good. Good.
All right. Well, hey, good morning. Here we are. We're back in the studio.
Hi. This story is super, super nice. And it's good news. So stick with me here. Are you ready?
I'm ready. The Capron Park Zoo in Attleboro, Massachusetts is facing some financial problems and they have just about been forced to close their gates forever and shut down the zoo. Everyone involved with keeping the zoo rolling recently had their spirits boosted when a young supporter named Anne Marie decided to step up. She'd been saving her allowance for months in a jar. And at the moment her mom told her the animals were in trouble. She went over, she grabbed her jar of money and said, we got to give this to the zoo. And she donated exactly $101 along with a sweet little handwritten note that reads, Dear Capron Park Zoo, I've been saving money for months in this jar. I wanted to give it to a good cause, but I had no idea what.
When my mom told me we were, you were running out of money. I knew exactly who I wanted to give it to. You. I hope my gift of $101 helps keep you open for years to come. And it might not be that much, but I hope it'll be enough to help. Good luck with any and all future endeavors and accomplishments. That's really nice.
That is really sweet. The city did step in with emergency funding to keep the gates open through next year. The zoo staff posted a massive thank you to Anne Marie on Facebook, saying that her incredible kindness is the ultimate reminder of why the community needs to keep fighting for its animals. Really, really cool. How sweet. Here is my $101.
I hope it lasts for years to come. I like that she gave the $1 with it. She could have just given $100 even and been like, I'm going to keep this one for me.
She was like, no, I'm giving it all up. That's really cool. $101 in a jar. Here you go. Hope it helps. Cute. Yeah. Well done. That's good news.
You and I got scolded last night. Yeah. Well, listen, sometimes as an adult, you don't even know what you need to know as an adult, but apparently knowing your blood type is a very important thing to know as an adult. Is it?
Well, according to our friend who says you should know your blood type and it's crazy that you don't. Like we got yelled at big time. In a big way.
Yeah. And then a survey was taken around the room to see if other people knew their blood type. And I'm going to say it was mixed. And I'm going to say it was about a third that did and two thirds that did not.
I disagree. You think more people did not? Correct. I think more people did not know their blood type. Well, that's what I just said. Two thirds who did not and one third who did. Did you think it was more than that?
No, you're right on the money. Okay. All right. Good deal. Good deal.
Good job. So, you know, I don't know my blood type. I don't either. Do you?
No, I just don't. Are you in the room? I'm here. Yes, I'm here. Okay.
It was a long vacation, but I'm here. All right. Just checking. So how do you find out? I don't know.
Here's the thing. I get my blood taken every three months. Is it as simple as just asking them what my blood type is? Well, they know.
Let's see. It says you can check your past medical records. You can take a lab test or buy an at home testing kit. So, I mean, yeah, if you donate blood, then you would find out then if you check your medical records.
If you've had a major surgery, been pregnant or had prior blood worked on your blood type is likely on file. Well, I should be able to find out. I should be able to find out too. It's pretty easy. I'll just have to ask. The problem I have is remembering to ask.
Well, there's that. What's the, what's the like rare one? Not the rare one, but the one that's the least populated.
What? You know, the one that like people, very few people have. The least common? Yes. Maybe.
Yeah, sure. Would be AB negative. AB negative?
AB negative is found in less than 1% of the US population. I kind of hope I have that one. Why? Because I want to be in the, in the lower category. Here's something interesting. There's actually something lower than AB negative.
What is it? It is an RH null, meaning there is no RH, which is the negative or positive. There is none. And it is the rarest blood type.
There are fewer than 50 people worldwide who are RH null. They call it golden blood. Ooh, interesting.
Yeah. You know what I think is interesting? How they first determined that people had different blood. How did they figure that out? Really great question. I don't know the answer to that. That's crazy. Yeah.
Okay. The next time you're at the doctor. Yeah, I'm sure I can ask there. I'm going to, I'm going to look through my charts. I have charts that I can access. Maybe I'll look through there. From the portal?
Yeah. I'm going to log into my portal and check my charts and see if I can find out. Log into your portal. And then you know what I'm going to do? I'm going to quickly forget about it.
And then it's going to come up in conversation later and I'm going to go, I don't remember. And then you're going to be in an emergency, which is what we got scolded for last night. Right. You're going to be in an emergency.
Yeah. And they don't have time to check what your blood type is. So you just have to know. Well, listen, it's an important thing as an adult that we all need to know.
So we're going to find out. Also, if you haven't donated blood in a while or ever, do it. Because there's always a big need for blood. So I, Blood.
I would totally donate all the time if I could, but I like to take a real awkward nap. Yeah. And they invite you to not come back. They say, Hey, maybe don't. Hey, maybe you're just too much work. I don't like it when you take an impromptu nap. Stop passing out.
It's not my fault. Part of our extended weekend included some thrift shopping. Yeah. Um, I wasn't finding anything, finding nothing at all until Emory said, Mom, I found these car symbols. And that's when I came alive. Yeah, you did. You were very excited to snag yourself some dashboard symbols for like three bucks or something. You were very excited.
No, there wasn't only one. I know. I know. And so, yeah, the entire drive back to camp from and by camp, let's, let's be real. We were pretty luxury.
And the drive back, you're just symbol in a way. Don't even pretend like you didn't get in on the game. I was in on the action.
I was having a good time. Our son who was quite musical in the back seat going, No, no, you missed it. No, no, no, that's not it. No, you're playing along with the kick drum. No, no.
He doesn't get it. It's not for actual symboling. Oh, it's not just for like hitting it when you feel like that. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. I've seen these things online.
Me too. They've been in and out of my cart. Oh, you've thought about buying them.
Correct. Well, you found them for a deal. I did. I absolutely did.
And I couldn't be more stoked about it. Yeah. Did you put them in your car yet? Not yet. They're in my car. I just haven't hooked them on my vent yet. I see.
I'm pretty stoked about it. Careful. Why?
Play it when you're stopped. Well, yeah. Why?
Why? Because it's not responsible to play while you're driving. I can still hold the wheel and pay attention and just come on, Josh. It's not like you can't, it's not going to take all my focus away or anything.
Are you sure about that? Well, I have two of them. I don't have two of them. Is that for a passenger? Well, I asked everybody in the house if they wanted one. They all said no. Right. I thought you were going to put one on each side of your steering wheel.
So when you were stopped, you could... I don't think I need two. I just need one.
But I was looking this morning at my car. I have a lot of... Yeah, you do. You got trinkets. Stuff in there.
Yeah. I have to move the Lego person so that I can see the speedometer. Like there's stuff going on in there. There's a Lego person in there.
I've got Robin Hood and Little John. Right. People hanging from my mirror. You have your phone charger. You've got... You have people hanging from your mirror.
Robin Hood and Little John. Right. Yeah. And then I got the little guy on the dash that kicks his... Oh, yeah. Yeah, the little block guy.
Yeah. I got a lot of stuff. That's only a few things. I have three things on my dash. I've rented Stimpy and a listener friend of the show.
I gave me a little Glomadark Bigfoot guy. So he's in the truck. So I have those.
Those are, you know, locked down. Ren gets a little sad in the heat. He does get a little bit hot. He likes... His head falls down.
He gets heavy. I think one of the also coolest things we found while we were thrifting was... Our son has been looking for a telescope. And he specifically wanted one for this weekend since we were going to hire ground. And he was looking at like a $600 one. I know, right?
And I was like, buddy, let's just save our money. We don't need a telescope right now. And he found a pretty sweet telescope. Yes, he did.
For what did he think? A fraction of the price. I mean, like a fifth or a sixth of what he was going to pay. And he even hackled for the price. Yes, he did.
And then he... It didn't have the... What's the word? The I-piece. The I-piece. Yeah.
So he was able to talk him down a little bit and got a better deal, ordered some I-pieces online. And we were looking at the moon in the backyard. We were looking at the moon. We were looking at Jupiter. And it's moons. And it's four moons.
That was cool. Four of its like 90 moons or whatever. We were checking out Venus. Yeah.
He was telling us all kinds of space facts. Very cool. Right there in the backyard. Ain't that some? You see all that right there in the backyard. Wow.
Because he got a deal. Pretty sweet. Well, anyway, you found symbols. Yeah.
He found that. I found nothing. Oh, sorry.
Well, I did find something, but I'm not super stoked about it yet because I can't make it work yet. Oh, yeah. That's right. I'm in a troubleshooting mode. I got a deal on a piece of tech, a little gear, but this piece of gear is a little bit tricky to activate because it's already active on somebody else's account. It's a whole thing.
So I don't want to get into it until I get it working and then I'm going to be like, I got a deal. You brought it up. Well, I just was remembering that I did actually find something.
I did try on some pants that didn't fit. Yeah. Same hair.
That was great. Same hair. Yeah. Right.
And that's how thrifting goes. Well, if we ever decide to take a little trip to Flagstaff, Arizona, there's a place that I think you would be interested in checking out. It's called the Barefoot Trail.
And it's just outside of Flagstaff, Arizona, where you can go take a hike. And the idea is to do it barefoot. So what they've done is they've built this kind of manicured trail that you can go and you can hike along and you can kick off your shoes and you can have a whole like tactile experience reconnecting with nature. So they've cleared paths of like rocks and things that are going to be stabby in your feet and giving you a nice trail. But then they've built things like the Soul Sensation Station, which is a lot of words for what is essentially 12 by 12 cubes that they filled with all kinds of different things like little cut up pool noodles you can walk on or like marbles or like just different rocks and little stepping stones with different textures and stuff. So you get this kind of foot sensation walking around barefoot in nature.
I kind of would be into that. Yeah, it's called the Barefoot Trail. If you want to look it up, it's kind of an interesting thing. And I'm kind of digging on it. But I also know that you're a barefoot kind of person.
Yeah. And this feels like something you might like really enjoy. You kick off your kick off your shoes, go on a little hike, step in some puddles.
They've got like little water things. I'm watching a news report. And I'm going to tell you right now, whoever they had that they were filming walking. I don't like how this person walks. It's super weird. The way they walk, I'm real like, it gives me an ick.
OK. They're very toe pointy when they step. And I'm like, it's like they're very cautious. Like, well, I wonder if it's just part of the news. They're like walking funny because they're being filmed. Correct. It's abnormal walking.
Like no one actually walks like that. Anyway, it's kind of interesting. They also took like some some big pieces of logs that they had that are, you know, they're probably, I don't know, a foot and a half around. They're pretty wide and they've sanded them all down so that they're not rough. But then they've got those along the path and it's kind of a fun little thing. The barefoot trail and flagstaff.
If you ever end up down there and you're looking for something weird to do, or if maybe you're like, hey, I got some land. I want to put in a barefoot trail. You could do that. I want to kind of do it. You want a barefoot trail? Yeah, I like walking barefoot.
Yeah, I know. You got some mulch yesterday and I walked barefoot on the mulch just because I wanted to see what it felt like. What did it feel like? Like mulch. It was pretty soft, though. Well, it had rained. What? It had rained.
Well, right. But like the mulch in our flower beds is not soft. But the mulch you got yesterday was pretty nice. But the mulch I got is specifically walk on mulch. Yeah, you did.
What's it called? Supreme walk on. Supreme walk on. That's right. Because if I'm going to do anything, I'm going to do what's supreme with tomatoes and sour cream. I like that's what it means. Yeah, it's regular mulch, but this is with sour cream and tomatoes. Supreme means in tacos. Right. Anyway, there you go.
Get yourself some some barefoot trail if you want. Something I know about you, Josh, is you get pretty intense when it comes to playing games. I did not know the extents of your intensity until we were playing a game and it was clear the winner and we were all kind of done playing the game. And we were all ready to go to bed this past weekend. And we all we were playing a Domino's game. Right. And we cleaned up the Domino's before we could all count the scores. And you were having a fit. Let's roll back here just a minute.
Sure. When you say we quit counting, I'd like to point out that there were five of us playing and the two people who decided I don't care what the score is, were you and your sister, me, our son and your brother-in-law, all counted our stuff and put in our scores. And then I looked over to get scores from you and your sister and the Domino's were being put away.
And I went, what's your scores? Don't know. Don't know. Couldn't be bothered. Don't. Doesn't matter. Here's the other part. This game that we were playing took two nights.
Yeah. Because there are like 12 rounds of this game and it took two nights to finish a game that you didn't even submit a final score for. Because I don't care that much. I'm just there to have fun and have a good time. The game is not the main course.
Yes, it is. The chatter and the hanging out and the camaraderie. That's the main course. Now you're wrong.
The game is just like filler. Wrong. You are backwards on your thinking.
You are. So you can say, finish the game. Finish the game. I took the scorecard and crumpled it. I was so upset. I know.
I couldn't even believe it. We've devoted two full nights to a game. We we we could have just said, you know, let's leave it where it is and play something else. But no, we went back to finish the game that we didn't even get a final score on. If we had counted and there was a winner, would you have even remembered who won? That's not the point. What's the point to know to know what the order of victory? But you wouldn't have remembered. That's not the point. If I remember or not in the moment, it's a good thing to know.
You want to know stats on your performance. No, no, yeah, I don't care about it. I don't care if I win or lose. I just there. I just can't even believe you didn't submit a final score.
I think I won actually. No, well, no. Yes. No, it was a round before the last round. When you didn't even realize that you'd played your last domino. And then you're like, let's just keep playing this round. And I'm like, and then what happened? And then what? And then and then and then and then you went, oh, I'm out of pieces. I'm out. Come on, man.
I feel like if you're going to be this intense about playing a game, then maybe I don't want to play any games with you. Whoa. Well, Josh. What? You just have to chill a little, dude.
Just chill a little, bud. This is how games go. This is not new.
You're acting like this is the first time you've ever played games with me. No, but it was like extra intense this weekend. Was it? Yeah.
You were being a little extreme. Play the game. Come on. Before we left for the long weekend on last Thursday, almost a week ago, we were talking about board games and how I am the rule guy.
It's that's like we we only played a couple of games. We were still having some rules conversation as we were playing five rounds into it. We're still right deciphering rules. And I finally was like, if you don't know, you can look it up. Like, that's what happened.
No, like there were a couple of times where questions came up and I went, there's the rule book. Fist. Yeah. Yeah, because I because you said I I'm the rules guy.
And I'm not going to be that you got you can read it. Yeah. How about that? Oh, you showed me. I know. I know.
And now you know. Not always going to be there to be the rule guy. Sometimes you're going to have to read them yourself, you know, I want to hear the rule guy. You it's the role that you like to play. Yeah.
If you're going to take the game that intensely. You got to be the rule guy. That's the way it goes. I was the scorekeeper because I can do the quick maths.
Good job. But but that's, you know, I took on that role. I don't mind being the banker in a game.
Count the money. I can do that. OK. I don't mind that. If we're playing like ticket to ride, I don't mind running the train car. You are the part of the game.
Yeah. You're usually the head. I usually get pretty critical on mission, critical on games. You want to know why? Because I'm focused. You really are.
Because then the game can advance. Yeah, you are. That's what your job is. Yeah. We played a game called Piles. Yeah, that game is super fun.
Yeah. That game was a good time. But it's a little that that game is designed around chaos. I feel I feel like I was OK in that game. I don't feel like I was.
No. Intense. No, you were pretty relaxed in that one.
How'd that feel? Fine. Yeah, exactly. You could be that relaxed in every game. I am that relaxed. It's just your level of relaxation is different than mine. You're like, I can scroll my phone and have a convo.
Let the game just pause for 45 minutes in between turns. Yep. No. Play the game. I know. Settle down.
I'm calm now. Still wish I knew what your score was though. Five. It was way more than five. Yeah, way, man.
I had a four and a one on my dominoes. No, you did not. I did. No, you did not.
You can't prove it. Come on. You had a pile.
That was probably a two. No. June 6th. You and me. Are we officially going? Is that, is that, or do I still have to do a more formal asking? It's fine.
No, it's not yet. That attitude tells me it's not fine. Got it. Okay.
So more formal asking is needed. Prom is coming up. It's the 27th annual second chance prom. And it is going to be happening at the waterfront at Snake River Landing, which is our typical venue. It's June 6th. So it's not this weekend, but it is next weekend. One, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight, nine, 10 days.
Okay. 10 days to prom. 10 days to prom, baby. Thank you for counting that up. You're welcome. So if you want to join us, it's going to be a lot of fun. It's at the waterfront at Snake River Landing, 8 p.m. to 11. And it is going to be a fun filled evening of dance and merriment. Some boogie woogie.
Sure. If you're into boogie woogie, there'll be some of that. It is the theme this year is Royal Regency Ball. So it is a formal affair. If you see the posts on social media, it says, Lord and Lady Tielor, request your, that's us.
Yeah. We're very fancy. And we have little, little silhouettes on there. What are those called?
Silhouettes. No, that's one word, but when they're on jewelry, what do they call that? Oh, it's got a name. I don't know. I was just going to say you can come dressed.
It's called a cameo. Oh, sure. You can come dressed in theme or you can just come however you feel the most comfortable.
That's right. Get dressed up for the theme or show up, you know, in your suit and gown. Or if you want to just wear like some nice pants and a shirt tucked in or slacks, whatever, you can come and you can party with a second chance prom. June 6th, it's Saturday from 8 to 11. Tickets are available online right now. So you can go to klce.com and you can buy your tickets online. You can buy them at the door or you can pick up free tickets. You can get up to four tickets per person at Closet Revival in Idaho Falls, at Mahana Fresh in Idaho Falls, and Black Tie Car Wash also in Idaho Falls.
So if you want to score some free tickets, you can get up to four tickets per person at those locations. And then you can join us on June 6th for the 27th annual Second Chance Prom. It's going to be a good time. It's going to be awesome.
I've been talking with the decorator. I think we're going to have a wonderful venue as we usually do. Juan is amazing. Yeah, he does good stuff. And so he is back decorating for us again this year. We've got our lighting and our sound. We've got the venue. We've got the playlist. Do you have a good playlist? I'm still working on the playlist. Oh, God. I'm working on the playlist.
I've had some requests, some listeners that are saying, hey, I'd like to hear a little more slow dance stuff. We see you. We understand. Not everybody wants to just be upbeat the whole time. I'm trying to work in some of the Royal Regency type music and trying to find a way to make that not just like kill the dance floor, you know, because you want people to be up and moving and excited. So I'm trying to find a way to sort of build the playlist out that has some of that in there, which is nice.
I need to get a dance card. It fills fast is what I heard. Oh, does it? According to the little accent woman who talks about it, which will be coming up here shortly, the dance card fills fast, she says. So anyway, tickets are on sale now. You can go to klce.com. You can grab up to four free tickets at those locations I mentioned, which again are Seven Sisters Closet Revival, Mahana Fresh and Black Tie Car Wash and Detail Center.
And we'll see you at the waterfront at Snake River Landing on June 6th from 8 to 11. Oh, yeah. 27th annual. Classy 97 Second Chance Prom. It's coming up.
Join us for a fun time. 10 days. That's two handfuls of days.
Whoa. Get yourself ready. You just said you need some after bite. Yeah, I've got bug bites or something. I think I got stung by stuff.
I don't know. Look, we were out in the woods and normally mosquito bites happen, but I didn't see many mosquitoes where we were at, which was cool. And then I went fishing, took back and we kind of went and did some bushwackin' to get to access to some creeks and stuff. And I found a real stubborn branch that really just didn't want me to go past it.
And boy, did it gouge up my leg really bad. How long do you think that's probably, boy, that's no. Engine half. That thing is probably like eight to 10 inches long at scrape. And it's got a couple of real tender spots. But then I've got, I got these like two marks on me that are, they look like bee stings because of the way that they puffed up.
And boy, are they itchy. I don't know though. You were out digging in the area behind our shed. Yeah, I've been working in there too. That's full of chaos back there. That is full of chaos. It's getting better. It is getting.
Every day I get a little bit closer to managing that chaos. But I don't think it's bee. I think it's a bug of some kind.
You think it's a bug? Yeah, let me see. Let me take a picture of it. Well, you can't really see it now from there.
Why can't I? It just looks like a little red dot. No, let me see. I had it. You can't see the little dot in the center. Yeah, I know.
I'm going to Google lens it and see if it will tell us. Yeah, it's going to go, you have a wound. No, it's going to say. The picture is of a wound. That looks like a hobo spider bite. No, it doesn't look like that. Okay, yeah, it says, oh no.
Oh great. What do I have? It says it resembles features of a bug bite, hives. Yeah. Or potentially. It's a bug bite.
An early stage of cellulitis. Oh great. Oh no. It's a circle with a little pinpoint in the middle. What a bee sting mark looks like. I think it's a bug. I don't think it's a bee sting. It's a bug bite.
It's got to be some kind of a bug. Yeah, mosquito bites look different. And I've had plenty of mosquito bites and they puff up way different. Also, I think you should keep monitoring it because if it does get bigger. No, I know.
I know all of this. It's not getting bigger. It's just itchy.
Well, that means it's healing. I know. Whoa. Aggressive. Tell me more information.
I already know. Cellulitis. It's not that. You didn't know that it was cellulitis. I don't even know what cellulitis is.
Look that up. It could be hives. Maybe you're allergic to something. Yeah, the bug bite that I got.
Or sting or whatever. Oh, no. Cellulitis is a serious bacterial skin infection. Yeah, I don't have that. Oh, man. You got gross cellulitis. I do not.
Kind of. I have two bug bites. One on my leg near my eight to 10 inch scrape. And one on the inside of my right arm.
Oh, no. Cellulitis. It's a long, the same lines as a staff infection. Be careful. I don't have that. Okay. I'm just saying be careful.
I have two bug bites. We think. Oh, come on. I'm just getting itchier by the minute. If you find that it's hard to breathe. Yeah, it can't breathe so good. Or if it's becoming more red or swollen. It's not. It's just itchy. Okay.
My medical training. Oh, great. You're going to intubate me. That was going to happen. Yes. Let's not. Because you watched too much pit and now your solution is up.
Got intubated. Yeah, we have to. We're going to have to take the foot. What? Intubate this man. We don't have time.
Do it now. Stat. They don't say stat a lot. No. I think they got rid of that.
They should not have. You like that? Yes. You like saying we need that stat. Scalpel stat. That's what I would say.
I think everything is in a hurry in an ER. So I think they're just like, it's implied. I need you to hand me that now.
I think they got away from having to say that. Will you hand me that? But please take your time. Yeah, yeah, no rush. Yeah, no worries. Just, you know. No hurry at all.
We're just over here waiting. Not an urgent situation. Good luck with your bug bite. Thanks. Appreciate it. Keep an eye on it. I will.
Thanks. There we were enjoying a fire while we were camping. Yeah. And all of a sudden my brother-in-law stands up and says, I'm out. And we were like, oh, okay. We were in the middle of a conversation.
Yeah. And he said, my lips are dry. I'm tired and I'm thirsty. That's three strikes. I'm done. I'm done. I'm tired. I'm cold. I think he said, I don't think tired was in there.
I think it's cold, thirsty and my lips are dry. Okay. And I'm done. He was just like, I've had enough. I am moving on. I am no longer going to sit by this fire.
I'm going to bed. I could handle two, but I got a third. My lips are dry. I'm done. I'm out. Three strikes.
I'm gone. Which is, I mean, what else would it take? Like if you were sitting there and you were like, I'm kind of thirsty. I know I could get up and get a drink.
Yeah. Also my lips are dry because I got chapstick in my pocket. I could remedy that. But also I'm feeling pretty tired. But also I'm cold and the fire isn't cutting it.
So I might as well just quit being grouchy. Three strikes. I'm just going to go to bed. Three strikes. I'm out.
But it was sort of like just the exclamation of like, he just stood up and grabbed his chair and went, nah, three strikes. I'm out. I'm done. I'm cold. I'm thirsty.
My lips are dry. I'm out. Sometimes you don't even need three strikes. Sometimes you can just do it in one strike. That is true. If you're just tired, go to bed. Yeah. That's what we always say. If you're cold, just go to bed.
If your lips are dry, just go to bed. Yeah. You only need one. He sat through until a third showed up. So good on him. And then all three were there and he went, that's enough. I've had enough. It's time for me to go. I'm going to bed. What would your three strikes be?
My three strikes? Yeah. Cold, tired. Yeah. And probably a bathroom. Oh yeah.
I got to go to the bathroom. Right. Because if you're going to have to stand up, you might as well just call it a night. Because, yeah, if you stand up from the fire, you're going to be extra cold. So you might as well just call it a night at that point.
That makes sense. Yeah, that's a good three strikes. I think that's appropriate. Lips were dry was kind of a wild card. It's like, okay. Sorry to hear about that, buddy.
The lips were dry. You thought it was going to be a ball, but it was a strike. Yeah. Yeah. You were like, this one I could let slide, but nah, not this time. No way.
That is the third strike. I'm done. I'm thirsty. I can handle sitting here for a little while longer. I'm getting cold, but the fire's kind of doing a little bit of a thing.
My lips are dry. I'm done. I just, I can't stand it. I'm out.
I've had enough. We went to a campground. It's not necessarily a campground.
It's an RV park is what it is. I hate. But it's more than that. Yeah.
I hate calling it an RV park because it's not, because when you think of our V park, you think of, I don't know, what do you think of? I don't know. I think of like a little bit run down. You do?
Yeah. A little bit dry, dusty. That's what you think of when you hear RV park. That's very interesting because that's not at all what an RV park is.
And I'm curious to know where that comes from. Because I've seen RV parks and some of them look dry and dusty. I've Googled RV parks and I'm looking at pictures and they're all looking pretty good.
Okay. Well, this one that we went to is called, it's more of a resort. It is indeed a resort. Yeah. They have pickleball courts and they have swimming pools.
Right. And they have like a lunch where you can get free breakfast and you can get a lot of free popcorn. And there's trails for riding your bike and there's all kinds of stuff. Yeah. And the best part was that we would just hop on our bikes and go and get free breakfast. Right.
Every day. And then it was like, oh, you guys want some popcorn? Let's go get some free popcorn. Well, let's talk about the free popcorn for a minute because did you end up getting free popcorn? Well, yes.
You did. Well, we walked in and we said, hey, we're here for the popcorn. And the lady at the desk said, oh, I don't even know how to make it. OK. And we were like, wait a minute.
So then we went to the camp host and did a little bit of complaining. Well, I know about that. Popcorn. And then he said, where does it say we offer free popcorn? Right. And I showed him on your website. Right.
Here it is right here. Yep. And then later that afternoon, he brought us some Jiffy Popcorn. That's right. He brought us a Jiffy Popcorn, which was really nice.
That was very cool. Yeah. And so we did have free popcorn, but did you ever get free popcorn from the law? Yes.
When did that happen? We went back the next day and there was popcorn in the lodge. OK. Whoever was working that day knew how to work the machine. Excellent. So we got a free popcorn. OK. Well, I didn't because I didn't want any. OK. I was also not the one making a big stink about it.
OK. I was not around when the free popcorn adventure happened. Oh, we had so much. We had so many adventures.
We weren't around for so many of them. Well, you were just fishing, cooking dinner. Yeah. You know, keeping camp running.
Well, you're off having popcorn adventures. Yeah. Yeah.
Somebody's got to have fun around here. Yeah. OK.
So we got our free popcorn, twofold. Yeah. Excellent. Yeah.
I mean, it was as advertised. So. Not initially, though. Right.
So. Until you complained to the manager. Let me see your manager, you said. I demand free popcorn. It says on your website.
That's is that the voice you use? We were nicer about it. Let me talk to your manager. Do you have a popcorn kernel around here? I can talk to. I think the camp was ready to get rid of us a little bit.
You do? I felt like he was like going to come hang out at our camp for a while. We were a little bit high maintenance.
Where are we? I don't know. I didn't feel like we're high maintenance.
I don't think so. I feel like there were way higher maintenance people that they were having to deal with in that place. Oh, there were.
Way more than us. Because we did find out that they stopped making popcorn because there were kids just putting their hands all up in it. Gross. And that's why I don't eat the free popcorn. And that's why I didn't have any either. Is that why? No, I just didn't feel like popcorn.
Yeah, no. Plus also, I had my Harry Potter. Butterbeer popcorn. Butterbeer popcorn from Skinny Pop. Delicious.
It was healthy because it says Skinny in the name. Yeah. Right. And that is good popcorn. It was good popcorn. I forgot we had that. The whole weekend we had that and I didn't have any. You know what else I didn't have any of? Not a single biscoff.
Oh, yeah. I bought and brought biscoff. You did? Didn't eat one. You know that I unloaded those two packs of biscoff. I thought I was going to eat two in the weekend. There were two packs already in our pantry.
So now you... There's four in the box when you buy it. I took two and left two at home.
Okay. That's a lot of biscoff, bro. Don't tell anybody about my biscoff problem.
You brought it up. I have a problem. I know you do. But actually I don't because I didn't even eat any.
Congratulations. I could have eaten two bags, but I didn't. I didn't. I didn't even open a bag of those wedding cookies, the Mexican wedding cookies.
Those are delicious. Oh, that doesn't sound good. We have two bags, those unopened. Don't open them. Because then I'll eat the whole bag. Yeah, exactly.
No, it's crazy. I have a problem. I have a problem with cookies. We can't keep treats in our house. I like cookies.
Would you rather this or that? Would you rather your phone font be stuck on papyrus or comic sans? Why do you dislike me so much? I don't know why you hate these fonts so much. They're terrible fonts. I disagree. They're awful.
I think they're fine. No. You worked at a scrapbook store where every tag was in papyrus.
It was awful. The logo was in papyrus. Is an avatar in papyrus?
Yes, James Cameron, we know what you did. I just feel like these fonts get such a bad rap. And it makes me sad.
I had poor comic sans, didn't do anything. Okay, which one are you picking? I'm looking at the two of them right now. They are awful. Oh, they're awful. I don't know why. Do you want to know something gross that someone did? What's that? Someone on the internet four years ago said, if you're feeling violated by comic sans or papyrus, may I present to you comic papyrus? And they combine the two and it's awful.
If you're feeling violated, how does that make you feel violated? Okay, I'm picking papyrus because... You're going to say you want everything in papyrus and your whole phone, everything you have to read is in papyrus? Yeah. Ugh.
Give me a helvetica or something nice. I feel like papyrus is worse. Okay, you do. I hate comic sans so much, but I really dislike papyrus. I think comic sans is worse than papyrus.
That's all. Let me tell you a little bit of history about papyrus. I just learned.
Papyrus was created in 1982 by a young designer who wanted a font that evoked biblical times in the Middle East. Uh-huh. Okay. And then James Cameron went, yeah, avatar. That's it.
I want that. What do you know about comic sans? Not enough, I guess. I do know that they use comic sans for people that have dyslexia, right? Oh, interesting.
I did not know that. Yeah, I think it actually... It is non-symmetrical, it's irregular, and it has distinct designs for commonly flipped letters, which makes it significantly easier for a lot of people with dyslexia to read. So, comic sans has its place.
Papyrus is a waste. All right, I'll pick comic sans. Jesus, I'm just saying, of all the fonts to pick, you had to pick these two. Comic sans was designed in 1994.
It was packaged with Windows 95. Oh boy. There you go.
Here's something else I know. What? I'm just glad you didn't ask me if I wanted my phone in wingdings. Because could you imagine?
I'd have to learn, it's like learning a whole other language. They take wingdings out of the font list because they need to. No, you can still type in wingdings.
Why? Because sometimes you want to use smiley faces arrows in the save disk. I don't know. Okay, here's what else I know about comic sans.
It was originally created for speech bubbles in a children's animation program. I think I would, yeah. I like comic sans. Do you? No.
It's good for people with dyslexia. I know it is. I understand.
I like it. I don't like it when people use it as a professional font. I don't like when people are mean about it because it's a fine font and somebody created it and you're ripping apart someone's art. Comic sans, I like you. Okay.
Yeah, right. You're picking comic sans because you hate papyrus. I hate papyrus.
Such a bad font. But it's like reading the Bible. No, that's not what it's like. It's the guy who was like, I want something that evokes that. Oh, does it? It's not that. He just thought that's what it would look like.
So good for that guy in 1982. Would you rather this or that? We played some pickleball this weekend. Yeah, which let's just also point out that when it comes to playing games, the outcome is similar in a physical sport as it is in a traditional board game or a card game. What do you mean?
I like to be really and follow the rules of the game and play the game as it was designed and you like to have free for all chaos. Yeah. And then you were finding that you were struggling with things like an underhand serve where you were like, but I want to serve above my waist. And so you were having a hard time with the form to serve properly. But then you have to serve diagonally and you can't go in the kitchen.
But you didn't see me play on Sunday. You're correct. Right. Because you were having an adventure. And it was, I was good. Is that right? Yeah. You were busy cooking dinner, but I'm going to get on my bike and go play pickleball.
Right. And I was good. And I was making delicious chicken tacos by myself in camp.
I'm sorry. And everyone left. Playing by the rules. I actually helped you cook dinner. Yeah. You helped me do food prep and then you're like, I'm out.
No. Dinner was done. And I said, I'm going to go get the kids.
They're playing on the pickleball court. And I got sucked into a game. Yeah. And I was good. Oh yeah?
Yes. So was dinner. But pickleball, I learned how to play. Did you? Yeah. And now I just want to go play again because it's so fun. Yeah. Isn't it so fun? It is a good time. Did you play by the rules?
Yes. There were three of us. When you were having the most fun. Because it was me and Beck and Emery on one side and then my sister and brother and on the other side. Right. And the three of us would alternate out.
Rotate one in. And they were doing really good. The kids were. And then I kind of came in and kind of mushed it all up because I wasn't as good as them. But I was so pretty good.
Okay. We got a little intense. It got a little heated. Well, we were camping. We were playing. We were playing pretty good. Yeah?
Yeah. You'll never see it. I don't have proof. Right. But you could ask them and they'll tell you.
And they'll lie for you? And I will say that the kids got better. Or they were good when I first showed up.
And then when I started playing with them, they got worse. But I said, I'll stay out. You guys were doing better without me.
And they said to me, no stay. You make it more fun. Well, that's nice. What does your hands do? Isn't that neat?
Oh, so cute. So it doesn't matter if you play by the rules or not. It's all about just having fun.
Got it. And you had fun. I did have fun. And that was pretty good too. Oh yeah?
Nice. I will say, Emery committed to at one point in the game. She dove for one of the pickle balls. I was there when that happened. Left her skin on the court.
Yeah. She skinned her knee up. She showed it to me yesterday. She said, do you want to see my knee?
And I said, not really. But she said, no, look, is it affected? That's what she said. And I said, no, it's scabbing up normally. That's what it should look like. It's heal
Is it affected? You're going to be fine. We don't have to intubate right now.
You'll be OK. So yeah, now that's how you know you're a true die hard player of sport. You're leaving skin on the court. She had some skin in the game.
Yeah, literal skin on the court. Well, fun. Are you going to take it up now? Are you going to play regularly?
I want to. Do we need to build a court in the backyard so that you can just ride your bike to the court? Is that the idea? Oh, man, that's the part I miss the most. It's just hopping on my bike and going to play pickle ball. Hey, you guys want to go play pickle ball?
Yep. I'll get the paddles. Here we go. And then you're off on your bike. Oh, man, that was the best part of the whole weekend.
Riding your bike to food, riding your bike to pickle ball, riding your bike to the hot tub. Yes. Yeah, I know. I know.
Ride your bike to town and go check out the little shops. I know. Yeah. It was awesome.
I know. And now we have to be back here. In a car. Working away.
Can't just. You said last night as we were sitting on the deck, is this what retired life is going to be like? Is you and me sitting here looking at the yard and going, I'm good with that.
I'm fine. Just get us a pickle ball court and some little shops nearby that we can ride our bike to and you'll be set. I will be so set. Yeah. Absolutely. Let's do that.
Okay. Where's that at? I don't know.
An RV park. Let's wrap up the show for today. Tomorrow's Thursday. That's all I have to say. Oh, my. Isn't that great? Yes, it is the best. It is the best. I know.
We're going to have a full week next week and go, I don't want a five day work week. Yeah. But that's the way it goes. Thanks for hanging out. We'll see you back here tomorrow. Have a great Wednesday. Goodbye.
