Full show transcript:
I got those midweek blues. How are you feeling? Baby baby. I got that midweek blues.
Baby baby he's got, he's got the midweek blues.
It's Wednesday. All right, what's up?
I like when we riff like that. Yeah? It's pretty fun.
Yeah, that's how the blues work, baby.
You just sit in an unsteel playing your big guitar and you got that blues. Got the blues, got the blues. All right, enough.
What's up? Okay, can you think of a band that got worse after losing a member?
Can I think of a band that got worse after losing a member? Correct. Interesting question. I know. Now, I know you are a Van Hagar, not a Van Halen. True. So you think that, well, I guess, Hagar took over for David Lee Roth. Correct. So it wasn't ever Van Roth.
Right.
Right, like Eddie Van Halen is still in the band. So that's actually a bad way of getting rid of Eddie who didn't do anything wrong.
It didn't do anything. It was David Lee Roth who got left. But anyway, as far as Van Halen goes, you think they got better when they lost David Lee Roth. And I am in the minority there. Most people think that Van Halen got worse when David Lee Roth left.
And Sammy Hagar, I can't try to 55 took me.
I think they got better. I enjoyed listening to them more when they got rid of David Lee Roth. Okay. A lot of people say Black Sabbath got worse when Ozzy Osbourne left.
Okay, but Black Sabbath didn't exist, right? That's what I'm saying. Like the band didn't do anything without him, did they? I don't know. Like here's a band, like this is all classic rock stuff, but ACDC didn't change with the changeover from, you know, to Angus Young from the previous guy. I can't remember his name right off the top of my head right now. Bon Scott?
Yeah, yeah, yeah. When Bon Scott died or left the band or whatever, Angus Young came in. Like he sounds exactly the same. Like that was crazy. They found two wackos like that.
People are saying the Bear Naked Ladies are worse after they lost even paid. But again, they go, they didn't exist.
They'd be like Dave Matthews' band lost Dave Matthews or Hoody and the Blowfish lost Darius Rucker.
Like yeah, they just quit making music. Okay, then they say Journey when Journey lost Steve Perry.
Okay, all right. Now that's an example, but I'm going to tell you that guy from the Philippines that they have, he's unreal. He sounds just like him.
Right, he's very good. I know it. Okay, now what are some bands that got better after losing a member? They're saying when Blink-Aid 182 lost their original drummer, Scott Rayner.
When Scott left and they got Travis. They got better. But I think they got worse when Tom left and they had Matt Skiba. Agreed. Fill in. Agreed. And do an entire album and tour.
A lot of people are saying that when Rush replaced Neil Pert, Shlap and the Bus, he's actually on drums. Yeah, he's the drummer.
And now that's because he passed away. Right? Like Neil Pert died and they've replaced him. So now they're saying Rush is worse now.
No, no, no, this was when Neil Pert replaced John Rutsey.
So John Rutsey. That was a better replacement. Correct.
Okay, yeah. Sure. Fine. I don't know the first guy. I know. And here's the other one that I don't know. The Beatles had Pete Best and Ringo replaced him. You don't know Pete Best. I don't know Pete Best. I don't know the Beatles without Ringo. And then a lot of people are saying Genesis when Peter Gabriel left and Phil Collins took over, they got better. Interesting.
I know. What did Genesis do with Peter Gabriel? Yeah, like what was a Peter Gabriel song?
I couldn't tell you actually.
Like I'm going to have to look at like what songs are Peter Gabriel songs with Genesis. Like I can't dance. Must be Peter Gabriel.
No, that was Phil Collins.
Yeah, it is. I don't know.
I don't know there. We might have to deep dive on that one. And then here's one last one when Destiny's Child went from five to three.
They got better. They got better. I agree. Is that right? I agree. When it was just Beyonce, Kelly, Kelly and the other one. I'm trying to remember the song.
Beyonce. Can you handle this?
Michelle. Michelle. Can you handle this? Kelly. Can you handle this? I don't think you can handle it.
Woo. Yeah. So that's when it was all three. That was how I was going to remember was from that silly song. Good job. Well done, you. Michelle.
Anyway, okay. Good question. That is a good question. All right. Okay.
You want to do today's show? Let's start the show, baby.
I'll go then. Hey, baby. Who's?
Well, hello. Sup. What's good? What's going on?
I woke up this morning and said, it's only Wednesday. Yeah. How is it only Wednesday?
Well, that's just the order that the days go in. Oh, oh. It's the third day. If you want to know the truth. Fourth. I mean the third day of the work week. I told you my week starts on Monday. I don't know why you've got a Sunday start.
Because that's how calendars work.
No, Sunday is the seventh day. It's always been that way. Monday is the start of the week.
If you're going biblically, they say
the seventh day is the day they rested. I'm going by the way of Joshua. Whatever that means.
I'm saying biblically. No, I know. It aligns with you too. I'm saying that's me.
I'm going by the way of me and the week starts on Monday. So today is the third day. Okay.
All right. We're not getting into it because I don't care that much.
This weekend, next weekend, last weekend. When was last weekend? The one we just had. Yeah. Three days ago. Yeah. Or two and two days and a few hours ago. Right. Yeah. So that's last weekend. When is this weekend? This coming weekend. Right. When is next weekend?
Next weekend. Yeah.
The weekend after this coming weekend. Now, when we get to Friday and then you start saying this weekend and next weekend, you're all wacky. You're all wacky.
No. Yes, sir.
Mine makes a ton of sense. No.
Mine makes the most sense.
Well, happy Earth Day today. Is it Earth Day? It is. Hurray for the Earth. Yeah. I like the Earth. Right? I agree. I try to take care of the Earth. Our little blue marble.
Even this morning, I was like, oh, I'm wasting too much water brushing my teeth. I got to curb that. I try to take care of the Earth. I try to do my part. Some days are better than others. But I like the Earth. I like living here. I think it's beautiful. It looks beautiful from the moon. Yeah.
The astronauts took the picture. Yes.
Yeah. Earth set and Earth rises. They went around the moon. We had that eclipse that happened, which was cool. That was the moon and the sun. But that was neat.
How are you going to celebrate Earth Day?
I don't really know. I would like to say I'd take a walk, but it was a little drizzly this morning. You afraid of a little rain? I'm not afraid of a little rain. I just don't want to go for a walk in a downpour.
I've done that. I had proper gear and it was still not that enjoyable. No, I don't like walking in mud. Well, you can stay on the pavement. You afraid of a little mud? Yeah. Guarantee little Chantel is like, don't be afraid of mud. Make a pie. What are you talking about? You're afraid of mud.
I used to play in the mud when I was little. And now you don't? It's just been a hot minute.
Well, you like to plant flowers. That's playing in the dirt. That's true. I do like playing in the dirt. Yeah. And the dirt is what the earth is made of. So happy Earth Day.
And we've come full circle.
I tried to bring it back. Hey, look at that. A round globe. Happy Earth Day. Good morning. All right. Here's some good news. I got a question for you to kind of start this off. Okay. What could you build with 200 miles of raw lumber, 2,000 gallons of stain, over 7,300 ,000, 30,000 wood screws, and nearly 18,000 sanding discs?
Houses of some kind? Nope.
Lumber, stain, wood screws, sanding discs. Fences.
Oh, no. Gardens. Nope. One more. Sheds.
No. Beds. Beds. Yeah, listen to this. Okay. Employees from companies including Lowe's Bank of America, partnered with this charity, Sleep in Heavenly Peace, which is in North Carolina. They took over the Charlotte Convention Center to build 10,027 beds for children in need. 10,000? 10,000 and 27 beds. How many people were there working? A lot. Building 10,000 beds? They did it in 24 hours. That's crazy. Yeah.
How long would it take you to build one bed, do you think?
I don't even know. There's so many people. That's amazing. Yeah. It's really incredible. And they're building these single twin beds that can also be stacked as bunk beds. It's just amazing. Amazing, amazing. The beds are being shipped to families across 36 different states, impacting the lives of thousands of kids by giving them a safe, comfortable place to sleep.
Aw, everybody needs a safe place to sleep.
It's so cool. The charity is called Sleep in Heavenly Peace and all these beds are being distributed now, which is 10,027 beds in 24 hours. That's got to be a world record. Oh, it has to be. Right.
A world record for kindness.
Well, that too, and some good news.
That's what we need to do. We need to have a Guinness Book of Kindness record. Okay.
That one should be in it. Agreed. Yeah, 10,027 beds in 24 hours. Pretty incredible. How many beds per hour is that, you think?
Let's do some quick math. I'm doing it. Are you?
Yeah, but I wanted you to guess. Guess. How many beds per hour? I'm going to say 175. 417 beds per hour.
Oh, dude. That's so fun.
For 24 hours. So many beds. Yeah. Well done. Yeah, pretty incredible. That's some good news.
I had a dream the other night, and you said that's the most chantel dream I've ever heard. Remind me. Okay. The dream was we were throwing a party, some kind of party for my sister or something. And I had ordered some sandwiches, but I had ordered a couple of footlong sandwiches, and they were supposed to be cut in thirds. Right. And they weren't. They just arrived as footlongs. And then everybody started to grab the footlongs before I could cut them. And then in a panic, I was like, we're not going to have enough food. Everybody's taken a footlong sandwich. Those were supposed to be cut into thirds. We're not going to have enough food. We're going to run out of food.
Yeah. And then I was in a chantel dream. Panic in my dream. Right.
I don't know what I'm going to do. What am I going to do? I don't have enough food to feed all these people. This is every social gathering that is hosted by us slash you. This is the emotion. Is there too much food? Is there not enough food? What do we have? We have people coming over, and it's a spiral.
It is. I really do spiral, especially regarding food. Because people come to a party for the food most of the time. Hey. Hey.
They're not. What are they coming for? The company.
And food. No.
Food's great. Company's top notch.
Settle down about the food. I'll never settle down about the food. Everybody's grabbing these big sandwiches.
No, I don't have enough food for everybody.
Exhale a little bit. Can you even? I'm like dreams are supposed to be nice.
But also, if you went to a party where people were serving footlongs, they spent some money. I know. Like, whoa.
Part of my job and my other job is to order food once a month. Right.
And I hate it. You love dealing with catering. I hate it. Yeah, it's one of your faves.
There are five people, five different places that I typically order from. And I like these places because I know that they're going to be on time even early. And that makes me rest easy. There's been a couple of things, places that I've ordered from and they are late every time. And I go, I'll never order from you again because you're late. And I don't like when my food is late because I like to have it done, set up, prepared, ready to go before the first person arrives.
Okay. And when you're late, there was a co-worker of mine, a young woman, and I was, I thought I was panicking quietly, but she was like, you should just settle down, Chantel. And I was like, I can't.
Calm down. It's just food. I kept looking at the window. This is why you're dreaming about food. No. About not even just dreaming about food. If you were just having a dream about food, that'd be like, all right. You're having a dream about food stress. I know. You've got to relax, lady.
What a mess. I'm such a mess.
I mean, that's all you got to do. Just take a breath about it. It's just food.
I know. And there are days I go, it's just food. If it's late, it's late. People are still going to get fed. And if they don't, if that one doesn't arrive, then I'll order something different. Exactly. I know. I tell myself this. It's all good.
I know. Just take a little breather.
Nice. How's that? Is that better? So good. I feel great. I don't believe you.
Quit dreaming about stressful things. Dream about nice things. All right. Like when people show up just for the company. Like, I had a dream. We had a nice party. People were there just to see me.
People show up. I just dream about people showing up. I don't even care about the food. I just wanted to see you.
Try that. That's a much better dream.
Part of my algorithms are these moms who are posting videos with their teenage, now teenage daughters. Okay. And all of them have said, this used to be my Velcro baby. Uh-huh. And now she's my clingy teenager. I see. All right. And I don't know why they're in my algorithm.
That's weird. Uh, because as a baby, Emery was a very Velcro. She was, uh, wanted to be held by you at all times and only you. Yeah. And if you put her down, that was a wake up and scream time.
I mean, from the moment she was born, we were in the hospital and they give you the little bucket that sits right by your bed. Right. And the second I would lay her down in it, she'd be like, I don't like this.
No. Yeah. No. Why aren't you holding me?
I need to be right next to you at all times.
Yeah. And now, uh, she's definitely, uh, around you. She's your bud. She will, uh, cuddle and hug you. Yeah. And, and that's, so that's the clingy part. Is that what you're saying?
Yeah. I don't want to say clingy because that's negative.
No, I understand. But, right. But she's, she's definitely there. Saying, Hey, what's up, bud?
My, my favorite video is, I saw a video yesterday of a girl, a two-day daughter who was walking in and she was like, you think you're walking into Bestie mom, but you walk into mom, mom, and it's mom cleaning the house. Like get out. Um, I showed it to Emory and she goes, Oh, I relate to that. She said, there are times when I'm like, we're going to have a Bestie mom time. Yeah. And I walk into the room and you're cleaning something or vacuuming or something and she goes, Nope, I'll walk right back out. I'll come back later. You're in mom mode, not Bestie mode.
So Bestie mode and mom mode are two different people.
According to Emory.
Okay. And they are. That's true because there are times I'm like, yeah, I got time. I'll hang out with you. Right. And then there's other times I'm like, I don't have time. I got to be mom right now.
I got to get these sandwiches ready for this party. I can't. Right. I got it.
Velcro baby. I, she really was a Velcro baby. Oh, I remember it was very, very sick one night. She would not even let me alone. She was only what two, I think. And you tried and tried and tried to get her to.
She used to get so angry about not being held by you. Like when I was trying to hold her or whatever and she would kick her feet. Yeah. And like a grasshopper rubs them together, but so hard. And I'd be like, just stop, just stop. It's going to be okay. She kick and just like, no. Walk my mom.
Yeah. Whoa. She was our co-sleeper for a while because she refused to sleep anywhere but right next to me.
And now she's fine. Now she's hanging in a room by herself. It's cool. Yeah.
Until she wants to come and have.
That's right. Bestie mom time. That's right. Bestie mom, mom, mom. Right now I need bestie mom. Got it. Yeah.
It's nice. I like that that's part of my algorithms.
I like that. Right. Well, and it's, it's one of those things that, that country song you're going to miss this was all about.
Yeah. You know, don't even talk about it. Don't talk about it. No.
Okay. I'll keep it easy breezy for you. Try not to drive the emotional spike that will just thank you. Okey-doke. Don't put that song on real quick.
You're going to miss this.
Do you want that one or do you want slipping through my finger? Do you want that one? Why?
I'm just asking. Why would you do that to me? I just, I was testing your emotions today. I'll be okay. Play him. Go for it. I dare you. Don't give me that look. Oh, you, you want to cry? No. You know how my middle name is danger?
It's avoids danger, but yes, go ahead.
I'm about to do something very dangerous right now. What is it? You know how when you're trying to log into something like a, like a bill or like a loan company or something and you can't log in and they send you a code. A loan company? You mean like a bank? Yeah. Okay. And then they say, don't share this code with anyone. Yes. I'm going to share it with you right now. What is the code? 733-856. Whoa. I know. I'm so dangerous. Hold on. What?
Hold your horses. I'm held. I'm going to see if I can do anything with that.
What do you mean? Nope. Can't. I know. I am the primary bill payer in our house. That is true. And whenever I get those codes, I go, they're so silly sometimes to me. I know that you're not supposed to share those codes, but they act like it. So, do not share this code with anyone.
Right. Because they might be able to log into your account, but they're also going to need to know what account it's for and the login credentials to get to where they can input that code within the next few minutes.
And good luck trying to figure out what website I'm on. That's what I'm saying. Yeah. Good luck.
Yeah. I was trying to see if I have any codes at the ready. Okay. Let's see. Do you? Hold on.
I have a lot always, but I'm sharing one right now. 733856.
Whoa. It's so dangerous. Oh, I got a long one. This one says 356556. And if you did not request this code, then you need to call this number immediately.
Oh. So. For your security, never share your verification code with anyone. We will never ask you for this code.
Except they will. When you go right to the website to put it in. Here's a code. I don't even know what this one's for. 94014. Oh, your dangerous too. I don't even know.
Couple of savages up in here.
Big risk. Why do they say that don't share that with anyone? I get it. But again, it makes no sense.
But sometimes you have to log into something and it sends me the code and then I go, well, I have to share this code.
Because the person who needs it isn't me.
If anyone asks you for this, this one says beware. This is from Venmo. Never share this code via caller text. Only you should enter the code. Beware. If someone asks for the code, it's a scam. Beware. Yep. I like that one was intense. That was from Venmo. Did I say that? Venmo's intense.
Yeah, that's crazy talk. Well, anyway, don't share your codes. 73856. Whoa, you keep yelling out codes. You're crazy.
I made dinner last night. I made a spicy turkey dandan ramen noodle.
Yes. That is the name of it. It was super good. Okay. I was very, very happy with it.
I asked the kids what they thought of it. I said out of five stars, what would you give it? Emery said three. And then. That's a four and a half star meal.
Beck said two and a half. And I said, okay. And then as he was cleaning up his dishes, he said, that was good. I go, you just gave it two and a half stars. Yeah. And he said, well, it was good, but it was boring.
No way.
It was good and not boring. He said, I'd rather have a boring meal than a bad meal. Okay. All right.
So there were, there's like the broth or whatever. The soup part, but it also had the turkey in it and the seasonings. Yes. There was the noodles. Yes. So I did the noodles in the bowl and then I put the, the, the soup part in there. Yeah. And then I added in, there was like a cabbage. Yeah.
That I had on top. That was rude, but it didn't have like mayo. No, it was just cabbage. So I put the cabbage in there. And then I added in sriracha and some, where they, they weren't, where they sesame seeds, sesame seeds. I didn't do the red pepper, but I did put some green onion on there. It was super yummy. It was good. I thought it was good.
Yeah. I think there's no way the kids did.
No, neither one of them did the cabbage. Well, that's why they had no texture. And if he thought it was boring, it's because it had no texture, but that's because he didn't put the cabbage in it. You have to put the cabbage in it.
He gave it a two and a half out of five stars.
He gave it a 50%. Yeah. Would it Emery give it? Three. Three out of five? Yeah. Okay.
Okay. They ate something, I guess. Yeah. That's a win. The thing that killed me was when he was like, this is boring. And then he goes, hmm, that was good. You're giving me mixed signals, bud.
I really enjoyed it. I thought it was quite delicious.
I thought it was quite delicious too. Yeah.
What are the other two meals we have this week? Cause they both have, is the bulgogi meatballs?
Meatball bulgogi.
Yeah. This is bulgogi dandan turkey dandan week.
And the other one is, what is the other one? I can't remember. It's just a normal one. Is it chicken something? What is it? I don't know. It's a, well, here's the thing. I was looking to make, to see what to make for dinner last night and we had three recipes. Meatball bulgogi, the turkey dandan and the
turkey dandan rom, hot spicy turkey dandan ramen,
bing, bing, wallabang, wallabang, whatever it is.
Turkey dandan, head for. Turkey dandan on the left side of the road highway coming up.
My mark three, two, five over turkey dandan.
Oh, it's a Mandarin chicken and pepper stir fry. Oh, yum. Okay. But I was looking at them going, cause I was cooking last night and I said, this one takes 20 minutes to make. This one takes 35 minutes to make. This one takes 25 minutes to make. Get rid of that 35 minute one.
You already can't be bothered because of the time. Save that one for me. Got it. All right.
How many steps does this one have?
Is that serious? How many steps does this one have? This one has four. This one has eight. I'll take the four. Is that what happened? Oh man. You like to cook. Yes.
I don't enjoy cooking. I don't enjoy it at all.
Not even hot spicy turkey dandan?
Uh-uh. I was sitting there last night cooking going, maybe if I turned on some music, I'll feel better about cooking. Yeah. Like I'm all alone in the kitchen. Like I've got some space. I laid out all my ingredients. That was the other thing. It was like, let me get all my ingredients laid out first.
Right. So you're like, let me embrace the way Josh cooks.
I just was like, let me try to see if I enjoy this. Yeah. No, I didn't.
Would it help if you had a fancier knife and cutting board? No. Because I heard that would make your kitchen experience insane.
Elevated. Yeah. Top notch. I don't think so. Yeah. Okay. Well. I don't.
We could get a knife and a cutting board and try it. I know I might feel better in the kitchen.
I have a knife. I have a cutting board. I have a lot of cutting boards. I have a lot of knives.
I know. That's the problem. You need one good knife, it said.
But you had to have a couple because if you're cutting chicken,
you can't use that same knife to cut your vegetables. Use washer knife. Do your food prep in the right order. It's your food prep order. Cut your vegetables first. Cut your chicken last. But you were using turkey anyway.
I'm not talking about last night specifically.
I'm just saying. But that's, you do your meat last. But you can wash the knife in between foods.
I just don't enjoy cooking. Okay. All right.
Well, it was very good. Thank you for cooking last night.
We posted on our social media yesterday, we posted a couple of photos.
They are, well, they're not a side by side. There's one above the other here, but there's a comparison photo, a photo number one and a photo number two, because you see pictures of me with fish and get jealous. That's what happens. You see pictures of me holding fish and you go, you never smile like that when you're around me.
You sent me a picture of the fish you caught yesterday and I said, I've never, ever, ever seen you that happy ever in my whole life. I've been with you for 23 years. I've never seen that smile.
So then you said, let's recreate this photo with you holding me, which by the way, you have a fish sweater on, which is fun. Yeah. So it's like holding a fish. It's a little different. I got to tell you, holding you in fish position is not as easy as holding the fish and the fish are slippery and floppy. So, you know, it was just difficult. It was, I couldn't figure out where to put hands.
You said that I wasn't as floppy as a fish. Well, that's true. Was that a compliment? Yes.
So anyway, if you compare the two photos, it looks like a lot of people think that the fish wins.
Yeah, the fish wins. I asked, which smile is bigger? Fish wife. Right. Now, that wasn't the first photo that we had taken either. Was that the first photo of you holding the fish? Yeah. Yeah. We do.
What do you suggest?
We, Emery was our photographer. Yeah. She had taken a couple of pictures on her phone and then she was out of space. And so she took one, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight photos.
Well, it doesn't mean she wasn't just like clicking to get a good one.
And that was the biggest smile, the one that we posted.
We've got a lot of people on here that say the fish. Here's some folks who say, so Becky said, I would say they're about the same, but the wife one looks a bit happier to me.
That's nice. Patrick said the angle of his face would lean fish. However, as much as he enjoys fly fishing, he loves Chantel.
I vote wife. So that, look, you got some votes. Look, Alex said two, smile is bigger. That's three for wife. And then Sherry down here said two. That's four for wife. 11 for fish.
Listen, my eyes, my own eyes, see what my own eyes see. And try as I might. That picture of you with that fish, you are much happier. You are a happy dude holding that fish.
I mean, have you, have you tried holding a fish?
It's okay, Josh. I'm not listening.
Listen to me. I have a picture of you holding a fish. And in that picture, you are very excited to be holding a fish.
It is exciting when you catch a fish and you're like, oh, look what I got. I'm not, I'm not saying it's not. And I'm not, it's not that I'm jealous. I just, one of these days. Yeah. I just want to make you as happy as catching a fish.
Do you think I'm not as happy with you as I am when I catch a fish?
I just haven't ever seen that smile. I see. It's okay. I'm not upset.
I have several pictures hanging on the walls in my fly tying corner of me holding fish.
Yep. Yes. How many pictures do you have of us together? Tons. Tons. Do you think you have more pictures of you and fish than you do of me and you?
In my fly tying corner, yes. Absolutely. In the whole house. In the whole house, there are way more pictures of me and you together than there are of me You and fish?
I'm going to count tonight. It might be even. You think? I think it might be about the same.
I don't know. I'm going to count. I've got to put it down on the calendar so I don't forget. Oh yeah, add it to the calendar.
Count pictures of fish. Okay. I mean, there's probably a dozen pictures of fish, but there's 20. This is my guess. There's at least, there's more than 20. In the whole house, between our bedroom, there's a ton.
There are four in the bedroom. That's a ton. How many of fish? Zero.
The hallway, the dining room, the picture walls downstairs, there's way more pictures of us together than there are of me with fish. You might be right. Yeah, I am. It could be so jealous of a fish. Why are you so jealous of a fish? You never smile like that. I'm not jealous. Yeah, okay.
Sure thing, pal.
I told you yesterday that I did something gross, something that made me dry.
We went on a walk after dinner and you told me that you had something gross to tell me on the show. And I said, why are you going to tell me something gross and why are you saving it? And I'm not looking forward to whatever this conversation is.
Okay. It's not, I mean that's not.
You said it made you go, ugh.
Communal, anythings are gross.
Like the spaces that you have to share with coworkers and roommates and those kinds of things.
Yes. Okay. And the thing about it is. What's the thing about it? Most of us are all adults and so you would think that people would clean up after themselves. But they don't.
I've worked in several workplaces where signs had to be hung up that said your mom doesn't work here, clean up after yourself.
Yeah. Yeah. And they still don't adhere to those signs a lot of the time. I went to heat up my lunch yesterday and I opened the microwave and I was so grossed out by the microwave that I was like, I don't even trust, I don't even trust putting my food in there. I was afraid something was going to fall from the top of the microwave.
Okay. Let me be clear. That's not here. That's at your other job. The microwave here is very nice.
The microwave here is great. Yes. I know. I don't know why it's so clean here.
Because there's a sign on it that says, please use a lid or a paper towel over the top of your food.
I feel like that's just common courtesy though.
Apparently not. I know. Because look, if you use the microwave and your lid goes pop and all your spaghetti sauce splatters in the microwave, that's your responsibility to clean that up. Okay.
But here's the other part. The, the microwave was so gross that I didn't even want to put my container on the bottom. So I put a napkin on the bottom and a napkin on the top because I was like, I don't want my stuff touching any part of this.
What if heating it up, some of the stuff on the top fell into your open meal?
That's what I said. I said that. That's why I covered the top of it. I said that to begin with.
You're worried about that? Yes. Yeah, you should be. I know.
So then I was so grossed out that I was like, I just got to clean this before I can put my food in there. It grosses me out to even think about it.
It grosses you out to think about cleaning the microwave? Yeah.
Cause I got a rag. So, got in there. I was cleaning it all up and then I was like dry heaving because there were little, I don't even want to say it. There were little what? There were little chunks of meat. Yes.
Your favorite. You love a good chunk of meat.
You're having a moment. I am having a moment.
Yeah. It was gross. Did you do that after you heated up your food or before?
No, I did it before because I opened it and I was like, I can't, I can't put my food in there.
You need to put up a sign. That says? If you make this microwave dirty again, you'll lose fingers. Something.
It's gross. Clean up after yourself. Clean up after yourself. Send an email. Because you can look in the microwave and see what it looks like before you put your food in and then you can see what it looks like after you take your food out. Correct. And you know, oh, I made that mess. Yeah. I should clean that up. Yeah.
So, you got to send an email that says, hey, I cleaned the microwave. I'm not doing it again. Clean up after yourselves. You're disgusting humans.
Something like that. Something like that. Yeah. Yeah. Grossed me out. What color was the meat?
Did it have a sauce on it? Did you nibble a bit just to see if it was still tasty? Stop it. Was it dry like jerky? Stop it. Was it? Was it a little squishy? Stop. When you felt it in the napkin, was it soft?
You really enjoy people dry heaving. You enjoy making people dry. You do.
It's one of the craziest sounds in the whole wide world.
It's great. It's gross. Yeah. Ew. Well, good job cleaning it. I can't even think about it anymore. We got to move on.
What do you want to think about? Nothing. What do you want to think about that microwave? Nothing. Did you put a cup of water in there and heat it
up to steam it a little bit? No, I should have.
I've heard that's a good way to do that. You want to steam the meat?
Josh, stop it. Stop it. I didn't even bring lunch today because even though it's clean and I cleaned it, I was like, I don't want to use it. So I didn't bring anything. I'm going to have to go get some lunch because I can't even. I cleaned it. I just don't want to use it.
How many days until you'll be comfortable using it again? Do you want it to get dirty again? Do you feel better when it's a little dirty?
It wasn't. Here's the thing. The way I'm describing it makes it sound like it was extremely dirty. It wasn't disgusting.
It wasn't stalactite spaghetti sauce.
No, but there was enough stuff caked on it that I was like, this is gross. Ew, stop. I don't even know why I brought it up. Well, thank you for sharing. Really appreciate it. I've told you before how important it is for us to have a code word or a code sign or something with our eyes.
It will settle. You did.
Wink, wink, wink, right, wink, left, eye. No one will see that. What do we need a secret code for?
So many things, Josh. I've told you this a million times. We don't have one yet. But by golly, it's time. Why? Because there's going to be, and there has been so many instances where I've looked at you in the middle of a party or a social gathering and been like, we got to get out of here. And you are not picking up the sign.
I don't know what it is because you're over there winking at me all weird. I go, something's wrong with her eyeballs. What that means.
Yeah, I got to get her out of here.
She does this, which is so stimulated. She looks like she's short circuiting.
Okay, here's the reasons why. Okay. Just to name a few. To get out of a social gathering when you're... You already named that one. Okay, that's one. Okay. The story that you're telling somebody is about to contradict the excuse that we've made. Oh. We've been in situations like that before. Have we? Yeah. Where it's like you tell, I've told somebody one thing like, oh, we can't go to that.
But then you've never told me the information. And so then I'm like, yeah, we're totally free. And then you go, wink, wink, wink, wink, wink, wink, wink, wink, wink, wink. She's broken again. I don't know what happened.
So we need... That's two. Okay. Then if you're in a circumstance and you can't remember the person's name and you're hoping that the other person remembers their name, you go... Wink, wink, wink, wink, wink, wink. Too bad signal. Oh, this is Nancy. Don't you remember Nancy? No, I don't. Of course I remember Nancy. I don't. Can I forget?
Wink, wink, wink, wink, wink, wink. Okay.
If the person is trying to sell us something and we got to get out of there.
Oh, I know that one. I can read that room. You can? Yeah. Normally it's the front porch. I gotta go. Vacate, poor Favore.
There was somebody who just came by the other day and you had mentioned that they had been there earlier and they were trying to upsell us on our security system. Right. I'm like, I'm good, man.
And I don't want to spend more money and I don't want to contract. Thanks. I'm set.
And then they came by later.
I've pretty much got it built out now to this point where like honestly, I could probably take over the few things that we like have monitored and just find a different way to do it. But that's, you know, never, that's never mind. That's a different discussion. Okay.
When they came back later, I opened the door and he said, oh, I spoke to your husband earlier. And I shut the door and I said, let me go find him.
And then I came out and went, hey dude, no, we're still good. I don't need the thing.
I'm not going to deal with this. Let me go give my husband a gift. I'm not, I'm not in charge here, especially when it comes to this stuff right now.
Also, I'll come find you.
You don't need to come to my house. I hate solicitors. Everyone hates solicitors.
You don't need to come to my house. Go find a new job. If I, well, if I need the thing, I'll go find it. Yeah. For sure. Is that it?
Those are the four that I can think of. Somebody's trying to sell us something. Yeah.
I don't know. That one seems less like I would be aware. Like there's certain aisles I avoid in stores because I know they're going to try to approach me about changing my cell phone. Yeah.
I don't want to. I'm not going to AT &T.
I know. Well, and so I saw somebody who had posted a video online and they said, look, I really don't like it when you talk to me. Like it's really uncomfortable. It is. I hate it. Like every time I go to the store, you're going to ask me if I'm happy with my cell phone.
I don't want to talk to you about it. But then I don't want to be the one that's like,
sorry, no thank you. I know. I feel bad. Like you're putting me in a weird situation.
And I know it sucks for you too. Right. We both hate this exchange. Right. Let's stop. Let's stop.
But I feel like I need a no soliciting shirt. Like they start talking and I just want to point at my shirt.
There was one, I haven't seen him there in a long time, but there used to be a direct TV on it. Oh, no. Fred Meyer. Yeah. Right by the door.
Right. Hey, what cable do you have? And I go, no.
None.
We haven't had cable for two years. Read my no soliciting shirt. I need that. Whenever I go to the Costco.
Maybe just a sticker so that you can take it off and put it on whenever you exit your
vehicle or a sign just a little paddle No, I Want to walk down the main aisle without you talking to me? No, okay?
That's a different conversation, but I'm my point is I know when I'm being sold to I don't think I need a wink signal
All right, okay All right, I got it. Yeah We only forget somebody's name and you hope the other person remembers Except for usually we've both forgotten. Yeah, I know and so then later I go. What was that person?
That's why here's the trick This is the trick I use. Oh, hey, this is my wife Chantel and then they go Oh, hey Alex and you go, oh nice to meet you Alex and I that's right That's a good trick. It's a good trick.
Yeah, that's a good one Okay, something that's gonna contradict the excuse that one of us have made Yeah, I don't know about that.
You just gotta quit making excuses
Okay, and to get out of social interactions. Yeah We need a code
well I The right eye left eye wink short circuit thing seems to be working pretty well Maybe we stick with that
No, because everyone's gonna know that's our code now
just watch she'll start blinking all weird
And then people are gonna go she wants to get out
right and then what happens
and then everyone knows our code It's gotta
be no, I know but but then what happens Then they go. Oh, they must have wanted to leave which we
did Usually I'm ready to leave before you are and so then I'll start like looking Trying to make eye contact you and you're like avoiding me like no, I'm not having a great time I'm not leaving. Yeah, I'm like, oh, hey Look up here look up here Let's go.
Hey, that's the signal. I like that one Last night had turned on I guess just whatever you picked or did you have a reason that you picked a Documentary about the mafia because my mother was a saint.
Okay. That's not even the line. We looked that up It's not even part of anything. It's something you made up. But anyway So you turned on a mafia documentary and then yeah sleep pretty quick Oh, yeah, I did cuz nothing says go to bed like a mafia documentary Listen, I'll fall asleep to anything.
I'm not I'm not particular about what I fall asleep to yeah
Well, I was up working on my laptop a little bit later So I was in the bed you had turned on this thing and then I'm working working working You fell asleep and then I was like well, I you know now I'm ready to go to sleep I'm gonna turn on something peaceful and quiet or whatever so turn the volume down I changed the thing I felt like the second I grabbed the remote and turned off the mafia thing like you were gonna wake up and be like Why'd you turn off my mafia documentary? What are you doing?
I? Was really into that. I got a boss Whoa easy Yeah, or something about a big
I wasn't even paying attention to it cuz I was working So I just I got even hear what was said like how much of it did you even get?
Oh, I did not get into much of it. Okay. I saw a video the other day that said My wife asked me to turn on the movie where she fell asleep and it was at two and a half minutes.
Yeah, no checks out So like I know I saw a lot you say that you'll go I don't remember where we were in the show when I fell asleep, but I know I saw a lot And I go no you were out within five minutes You're like no way and then I go okay find where you were and you were like oh no that was not that
far into it I know
I Finished it, but now I get to watch it again
Yay I was kind of into it the narrator was a little bit boring I didn't care for the narrator, but I enjoyed the part where it was they were talking about prohibition and and the crime It's called. What's it called? I don't know it's called the five families. Okay, and it's the five most powerful New York mafia
families Yeah interesting well You need a snoozer here's the thing If
I start watching that show, you know, I'm gonna start talking mafia
I know you're gonna leave the gun take the cannoli. What are you talking about a mafia now? No, you're not I watched two minutes of the mafia documentary. It's just who I am now No, you watch the pit. That's medical training you watch a mafia documentary all of a sudden you got a boss I got I got jobs. I got things going on Yeah, okay, niche right all that yeah The snitches get stitches
they say right right okay well
At the vet because they know a guy they get a little bit with the fishes all right cement shoes and that yeah
Yeah Yeah, so it's probably a good thing. I fell asleep.
No it is otherwise Let's find a different show for you. What do you want to watch not that? Cuz I don't need you walking around thinking you're all part of the thing Cuz that's what happens
anyone see now kapo see stop
Where's old baby face,
you know Bring the car around and all that who got the get what it's a gun.
Oh is it yeah, okay? Well enough about that Crazy woman Think you're part of the mafia could you watch four seconds of a show?
Yeah, yeah four minutes tops I'm not even Italian.
No, I know You barely like pasta I
know I know you do the
pasta Yeah, let's find a different show all right now one's a little too much for you All right, I Saw this online. I think we need to bling out the dog a little bit.
What do you think? Depends like what kind of blink every been doing a lot
of Be dazzling yeah with like glued on gems. Yeah, I'm thinking a little more a little more authentic like like real diamond and ruby Encrusted dog call. Oh, yeah, listen. There's these one percent pups.
These are these are the elite dogs These wealthy pet owners are spending upwards of a hundred and fifty thousand dollars to get these dog collars They're diamond and ruby and crusted. I listen. Don't you think Luna's worth it? No, don't you think she needs a diamond caller? No No, I don't don't you think she needs a little 18 carat gold custom engraved Luna Caller
no, and I'll tell you why because she doesn't care You know what she cares about squirrels and cats.
That's right. We could get a squirrel on it if we want
No, I don't think that's what she wants. She likes treats and belly rubs. Yeah, but you know like
Like the bling, you know like I'm talking about like Kirk Cousins wearing some bling, you know what I mean I know what you mean
But for your dog, no, I'm looking at some dog bling right now. Yeah, not necessary You don't think so.
No, you don't think it makes the dog look super cute wearing a Tiffany Fancy diamond necklace sure don't What's another way I could approach this
Why do you want this so bad?
I don't I really don't I think it's ridiculous. It is ridiculous I think that is absolutely absurd and To your point of the dog doesn't care the dog doesn't This is this I feel like is one of those things where there are people who have tiny little teacup dogs as accessories to their outfit and They would accessorize their accessory with a hundred and fifty thousand dollars worth of diamonds and Around the dogs necklace.
I have a fit when I have to pay more than twenty five dollars for a collar
I know if you try taking the dog to the vet that's expensive enough I don't need to buy the dog anything that dog cost me an arm and a
leg, you know what the dog could use What's that a haircut?
Yeah, I know but I want to see how shaggy she can you
say this every time and I think it's just You're excuse for being lazy.
I mean, I just have to call Not that gets even hard. I just Have you seen how shaggy she is her eyebrows are crazy there nuts
I gets to the point where sometimes they go. How can you even see well?
They're not covering her eyes They just stand up so high And she looks at you like what's up? There's so much expression with all that eyebrow She's wearing shaggy pants.
It does look like she has on curly shaggy pants But then her face is like it looks like she's looking at like wearing a mask Like a big hair mask and her eyes are in there, but the face isn't her own
Yeah, it's super in her eyebrows are like old man.
They're huge They're huge I Know she needs a
hair, but every time she gets to this point you go I just want to see how shaggy she gets
like it's got to stop at some point, right? I Don't know or does she just turn like full pomeranium. I don't know like she is a shag monster.
Yes She could be shag carpet No No, I don't think we need a hundred and fifty dollar Caller like I said, I don't like spending twenty five dollars. I understand I Get it just give her a piece of jerky
I know that's what she wants is dog treats and a bark at the store and whoever walks by Whatever else and she's happy I know To chase a cat living her best life she went out today and immediately was like I got to get a
cat Well, she didn't see the cat at first Yeah, I tried to call her back inside and then she was like, oh I see that cat and then it was all systems go. Yeah All right. Well, thanks for asking.
I'm okay All right, you saw a video this morning of dad who Was at home with his three-year-old daughter and the mom went to go run errands Okay, and then she got a phone call because he was locked in the pantry And three-year-old Was crying and couldn't help Because there's a child lock on the doorknob to the pantry and she shut the door Oh, no, they were playing hide-and-seek and The dad went and hidden the pantry and she was looking for him and she closed the pantry door And because it had a child lock on the door could not open the pantry and so he Fortunately had his phone, but he called the mom and said hey we have a situation I Can't get out of the pantry because the door is locked and the three-year-old can't get in the pantry because the door has a child lock on it And so we have a problem. Okay, but he had food Yeah, and and when the when the mom got home the video she walks in and she goes Hey, what happened and the little girl was watching cartoons on the TV or whatever and she's just crying She's like I locked the door. Oh lock the door And then she opens the door and the dad is sitting on the floor with some fruit snacks and he's like well I didn't seek went wrong Or did it I mean, I don't know everybody was okay, so that's good, but I hadn't thought about child locks being a thing that would affect your day like that but That happened
as long as the kid is fine Yeah, cuz you could say hey go go watch TV or bring right, you know my phone go get my phone So at least you can kind of keep an idea of where your toddler is right don't go outside Don't even say go out.
I know Hey go watch cartoons real quick mom will be home in a minute. It's okay. I'll be I'm okay We're all gonna be okay. Go turn on go turn on You can make a mess under the door.
I guess so Snack either side of the door
depends on how tight the door is yeah kitchen floor I suppose but What a thing What a thing to have happen
You were playing hide-and-seek with our son when he was little and he fell asleep in the bathroom Yeah, while he was waiting for you
Yeah I was panicked because I couldn't find him and I'm like where did he go and then yeah He was in our little half bath downstairs. I was looking everywhere. I was panicked and he was asleep on the bath mat in the bathroom, I'm like of course Everyone's safe It's a stressful time though I can imagine when you're like oh great now what and it's a good thing he had his phone so we could say here's what's going on That is true. So she didn't walk in and go where is he what's going on what is happening? So anyway, how funny? Would you rather this or that
would you rather understand the birds or rather understand the bees the Not the birds and the bees. I would you understand the birds.
Yeah or the bees right I would understand the birds same Like why why do you why you singing at night? Is that a lullaby mr. Robin? That's exactly what I was thinking Yeah, because scientists don't know bird scientists don't know exactly why Robin sing at night because they aren't like Warning of predators. They aren't signaling for food. They just do it. Yeah, and you know We decided you and I on our walk the other night that it's just a lullaby. They're just saying it's a nice
time to go to bed Hey everybody, it's time to go to bed.
Yeah Which is a nice thing. Yeah And that's very possible But we just don't know and so I'd like to know what's what's that about?
Agreed and I was there's so many birds the red-wing blackbird that
comes to our house all the time We're several they're very cool. I'd like to talk to them. What do you want to say? I just want to know what they have to say Thanks for the food.
