Full show transcript:

All right, here we go.

This is the question I need to know because I know there is an answer to this. The question is, what is something you're pretty sure that only you do? No one else does this. This is something that is unique to you that you go, oh man, while you're pondering, let me give you some examples. One person said they missed their kitchen spider's web every few days so they can have a sip of water.

Say what? They have a spider that lives in their kitchen that has a little web and every day they give it a little mist so that the spider can have some water. That is very unique to that person.

Yes it is. Somebody says here when I'm nauseous or get grossed out by something, I think of a stock picture of strawberries and it makes me feel better. Very unique. Do you have something? No, not right off the top of my head here. Somebody said they talked to the commercials on the radio and tell them they're not the boss of me.

Oh yeah, you're not the boss of me. I recently read that if you have any bad or negative thoughts that you can physically pluck them out of your head and throw them away. And so I've been meaning to do that but that's not a unique thing to me. That's somebody else's idea.

Okay. Someone said they turned the trash bags inside out because they feel like it would make more sense to have the seams on the inside like a pillowcase. That is silly. I guess I don't know.

If they were meant to be that way, you'd think they would have turned them around that way. I'm sure there are lots of weird unique things that I do but I can't think of any one thing off the top of my head. Someone said I tell myself stories when I'm alone as if there's another person listening. I've seen you do that. I don't think talking to yourself is that unique. No, I mostly do that in the car. This person said I sit in the car and cut off my split ends. I find it soothing. I've done it for over an hour at one time and it was probably bordering on pathological.

This person said I tear up watching videos of dogs or horses running as fast as they can and I can't explain why. They're really out there. Doing what they love. This person said they try to use the restroom faster than other women when they're in public restrooms especially if there's a line.

They race. I kind of do that. You do? Well, it's not that I race. I just don't like hanging out in there so I get in and get out fast. It's not that I race but I'm like, I gotta get.

I gotta get. I don't know. This person said that if they have a song stuck in their head, they will think of the song Smooth by Santana and Rob Thomas and then that other song is no longer stuck in their head. Because then you got Smooth stuck in your head. Think about Smooth. Because you're so smooth.

I know something that I do that's weird. Here we go. Time for the confession. If I have, we have a multiple stall bathroom at my other job but it's an office full of women. The majority of us are women and we know there's an unspoken rule that if one of us is in the bathroom then we don't go in there even though there are multiple stalls.

And so I know that that space is going to be completely occupied by only me. And so if I'm having a really good day, I will dance in the bathroom. If I'm having a bad day, I go in the bathroom and I say a lot of bad things about the person that I'm upset with. That's your space. Yes. Interesting. And that's kind of where I go to let it out. Whatever energy I'm feeling for the day and I've gone in there before and I've done some singing where I go, hi, I wonder if there's anything.

And someone's been in there. No. It's mostly me. Mostly.

That's a weird way to say that. If I go in there and I see shoes, I go, oh, see you later. I'm out. And I can't believe when I come back because that's my, that's my space.

I see. Even though it's not my space and anyone could walk in at any time. That's the space I know is my reign for just a minute to get out like any happy or negative energy. Nice. Well, I'm happy you have a space.

Thank you. Just outside the doors, the rest of the office going, oh, there she goes again. I try to be quiet.

Sure thing. Try. I'm singing at the top of my lungs. They hear it. They've heard it.

They know. Oh, here she goes. I don't even care. Here's today's show. Let's get you going with some good news this morning. These stories keep popping up. And this is another example of I just don't understand how pets travel.

And it just blows my mind. There was a Texas family who has been reunited with their dog Coco nearly two years after she vanished from the backyard. Oh, Coco. It's a six-year-old schnauzer. She was found wandering as a stray in Clark, New Jersey. That's over 1,500 miles away. Where was she? They're from Texas.

Texas. Holy moly, Coco. I don't understand how animals travel. They're just fast. I guess.

They just go and go and go. Rather than sending her to the shelter, the local police department took Coco in keeping her at the station where officers washed her. They gave her baths, toys, daily walks. She became the station doll because they knew where she was from. When they scanned her microchip and finally called the owners in North Texas, the family was like, what? Why didn't they do that initially? Yeah, they needed a station dog. They quickly booked a flight to bring her home. It is a mystery how she ended up so far away. Coco absolutely remembered her family when everyone was reunited.

She's, oh, you smell like people I know. Was way excited. It was a big deal. She's back home now in Texas, not New Jersey.

That's the part that always gets me. Two years. Sometimes I wonder, we got our dog when she was about two years old. We rescued her from the shelter.

That's right. We've had her almost two years. Sometimes I think, if you went back to your old family, would you remember them? I'm sure. Curious. Yeah.

Well, yeah, because they would have to remember their smells. Of course. Right?

Yeah. No, I'm glad Coco's home. Coco made it back to Texas. Sad for the station dog. Yeah, maybe they can find another one.

Maybe that's why they were like, we found another one. Let's scan this one and send it home. I don't know. I don't know how that all went down.

But she's home and that's good news. How many hugs do you think you get a day? How many do I get a day?

Yes. Well, probably three. One from each of the family. So you're saying you get one from me per day? If I'm lucky.

I think, yeah, that's about right. Because I'm thinking, I come home from work. You give me a hug?

Yeah. So welcome home. And then I give Emery a hug when she is home from school. Right.

And then it's a hug from Emery for bed and a hug from Bec for bed. So I get about four a day. It's pretty decent. I'm betting there's some people that don't get any for a long time. I know.

They say that you need four hugs a day for survival. Who's they? Oh, them.

Okay, good. They say you need how many? Four for survival.

Just to survive. She's also saying that you need eight hugs a day for maintenance and 12 hugs a day for growth. 12 hugs a day?

Get back to work. She said that the hugs are there because you need to feel safe. You need to feel love. It reduces your heart rate. It reduces your blood pressure. It helps with lowering cortisol, which is your body's main stress hormone. And it just feels nice.

Well, no, I get that. It just feels nice. I'm just a little blown away by that many hugs. 12 hugs is a lot of hugs. It's a lot of hugs.

Get back to work, as I said. You're just standing around hugging. Nothing wrong with that. I think I have how happy and calm you'd be if you got 12 hugs a day. I'm pretty happy and calm. Are you? Right now? Yeah. So you don't need hugs?

I didn't Three. Maybe you should go hug your bros. Bro. Here in the office.

Yeah. The last thing I need is to get called into HR for standing around hugging for 12 times. It has to be consensual.

Yeah, I know. I'm not going to sneak hug. Hey, bro, can I give you a hug? And they'll say, yeah, you'd be amazed at how many people would be surprised to get a hug.

Yeah, you're right. And they might like it, Josh. You just never know, do you? They might. But maybe they'd be like, we don't do that here. Sometimes we hug in the morning when we wake up.

Not always. If I'm like, I'm real tired. I just need a hug. Sometimes you'll come in, you'll wake up, you'll use the restroom, and you'll come just dragging into the bedroom, just looking like you've gotten run over by a truck.

Yep. I'll be like, come here. Can we just stop a hug? I'm tired. When Beck was little, he would often ride his bike to school with his friends.

Right. And I would yell at the door, hey, you forgot to give your mama some sugar. I'm sure he still loves that. If you did that now, as he was like leaving for work, don't forget to give your mom some sugar. Well, last night, because we always talk before bed, and last night I said, Beck, I'm gonna give you a mom some sugar. I think he does still love it.

I think so too. But four a day, 12 a day, eight a day. Let's shoot for eight. That's just maintenance. Four is just surviving. We're just surviving, Josh. You know, I'm okay.

It's a lot of hugs. You don't want anyone. I don't need 12, is what I'm saying.

I do. For what? For growth. I made it.

What are you trying to grow into? I made you feel safe and supported and reduce my cortisol and my heart rate and my blood pressure. I have high blood pressure. I'm on medication. Yeah.

All I needed was some hugs. You think? Yeah. I could be saving some money. 12 hugs a day. Shoot for eight. How many hours are you awake today? They don't have to be long hugs. It's just a quick like... How many hours are you awake today?

Like a nice squeeze and then release. How many hours am I awake today? Right. 18. Yeah.

Six, five, 30 to 10 o'clock. That's what I'm saying. Okay. So I'm giving you like six hours of sleep. 24 minus six, it's 18 hours. 12 hugs and 18 hours.

Get back to work. I don't want... Have you heard that thing that says the longer that you've been together with someone you start to look alike? Yeah.

I mean, they say that about people and relationships and people and their pets. Right. Yeah. For sure. Okay.

So I was thinking last night, do you think we look alike? No. Okay. I think what happens...

Here's what happens. I think you spend enough time with somebody. You really learn their... The nuances of their personality and mannerisms. And all of those types of things. And I think those get picked up on and then you'll find yourself repeating similar behaviors or saying the same things because you've built up all of these years of inside jokes and whatever. And so vocal stems through the roof.

I mean, one thing will get said and there's an immediate predictable reaction. And so I think that's probably what's happening as you get like... I figured out how she makes that face.

And now I can also make that face, that kind of thing. Okay. Less about full-on physical appearance, more about little nuances. Yeah. I googled this and said, yes, couples often look alike, but they usually resemble each other from the beginning of their relationship rather than growing into lookalikes over time. Interesting.

Because people select partners with similar features, your shared social environments, and you're attracted to faces similar to your own. I disagree. I've heard you look at yourself in the mirror and say terrible things.

So if you've selected me based on what you like in yourself, you don't like me. We got a problem. You're abusive. That would be the answer. To you? Yeah.

If you selected me because of what you like about yourself, then you're abusive. Yeah. I think that's interesting. Yeah, I don't think we look alike. But I also wouldn't know you'd be like, yeah, nice bald head, good beard.

That'll be mine. No, not at all. You never tell me I have a good mustache.

Sometimes it looks real sharp. I also enjoy being married to you. So no, I would never. I would like to sleep at night, not worrying about waking up with a pillow over my face. Because I told you your mustache looks nice.

Are you crazy? You got a good looking upper lip. That's really, you're sporting a nice one today. Could you imagine? Yeah, right. You're staying in the trailer tonight?

That sounds good. It never gets to compliments on my upper lip. You're really growing out that hair, aren't you? Why are you like petting something right now? I'm not. I'm touching my upper lip. Yeah, it's a mustache.

Yes. They're trying to, what does it feel like today? I guess, listen, as we age, we really get some air. I'm talking about women.

No. So sometimes if I don't, if I don't do a little grooming, I go, oh, hey. Let it go. Grow it out. I should.

It's probably like four hairs on each side to be real wispy. Gross. Yes. See?

I might try. No. I don't think wispy is the right word. Cors for sure. You don't think they would, they would grow out all like just straightish and hang down? No. You can do the same on chin. And then you could sell me a mug why? That's what that would look like. That is what that would look like.

I'd be like Gremlins guy. Yeah. Here. No, you can't have this. It's not for sale, but then the kid would sell it to me anyway.

It'd be a whole thing. All right. Raise your hand if you think you look like your spouse. I don't think so. I don't think we look alike. I don't think we do either. I think we pair well, but I don't think we look alike. We do pair well. Like a nice cheese and bread grilled cheese sandwich.

We're a grilled cheese sandwich? Okay. Sounds good. I set you a trailer yesterday. I was very excited when I saw it.

Yeah, me too. Love on the Spectrum returns to Netflix is on April 1st. April 1st.

Yep. April Fool's Day. This is no prank.

Okay. This is real. This is real.

It's also my mom's birthday. It is true. Season four of Love on the Spectrum on Netflix. We fell in love with this show at season one.

Well, prior to season one, was season, sorry, was there a British version? I think it was Australia. It might have been Australia. I think it was Love on the Spectrum in Australia, I think.

And then they did a US one. And that was, I really, really fell in love with this show. So sweet. If you're unfamiliar, this is a show that follows the lives of of young adults and some older adults who are on the autism spectrum that are trying to date and find relationships and navigate the awkwardness of it all. And it is, it's an adorable show. It's charming.

It's so charming. And last season, one of our favorites, his name is Connor. He was able to find some love with a woman named Georgie. That is correct. And Connor and Georgie are back.

Yes, they are. Madison is back. And she has been hanging out with Tyler.

Yes. And James is back. And James and his dad have one of the funniest relationships I've ever seen. I did see Adnan did a promo piece. So he was not in the trailer, but I did see him doing a promo thing on socials. Oh, good.

But I didn't see him in the trailer. So that'll be interesting. But there are some new, some new stories as well.

Logan, Emma and Dylan are the new ones. Uh huh. Yep. But Tanner is back, right?

Let's see. Madison, Tyler, Connor, Georgie, James, Shelley is the woman that James was dating. Logan is new. Tanner. Emma is new. Dylan is new.

These are the ones that I think. You haven't seen him. Tanner was in the trailer. Okay.

Because you have to. Tanner's the best. He's great. He is the best. I follow him on Instagram. He goes to Clemson. He's all about it.

His handle is Tanner with the tism. That's checks out. They're the best. This show, it's heartwarming. It's sweet. It's you laugh and you cry and you just hope the best for them.

Yeah. And I'm glad it's coming back for season four. It premieres on April 1st.

Is it all episodes on April 1st or are they doing staggered release? I don't think so. I think they're just dumping them all.

Yep. All seven episodes of the new season will launch on April 1st. Thank you, Netflix, for giving me a show I can binge and making me wait week to week. Thank you very much. I love it.

It's cute. If you haven't seen it, go check it out because you're just, you'll feel better. You have time right now to get caught up for the April 1st release of season four. You do. So binge those first three seasons and then you'll be ready April 1st.

It's love on the spectrum on Netflix. You know what I think would be a pretty fun gig? What's that? Being the voice at like the big award shows. So you're the person who's like welcome to the, you know, the voice that goes over the TV and everything and over the big PA and there when they're announcing. You want to do that? I think it'd be a fun little gig. I think you should do the MMA announcement.

I don't want to do that. He gets paid a lot of money. Bruce is his name, Bruce Buffer. His brother is the guy who is the let's get ready to rumble guy.

Oh, I want to be that guy who does that for boxing and then he does it in the ring for MMA, for UFC stuff and he does the it's time and then he does the we are live. That whole thing. Yeah, yeah. I want to do those jobs.

How'd they get into that biz? I don't know. Sorry, I'd rather have a conversation.

You're fine. No. So do you know the actor Matt Berry? I do not. You do.

You just don't know you do. He is an English actor. He's a comedian. He's a writer. He's a musician. He is in the IT crowd. He's a vampire in what we do in the shadows.

He's been in a bunch of different stuff. Okay. Well, so he was the announcer at the Oscars. Okay.

I don't know how long he's been doing it, but his pronunciations are insane and people have been talking about this online for a couple of days since Sunday when the Oscars happened. But I got to play some of this. This is crazy. Oh, yes.

Sigourney Fever. Oh, it's Basil Rathbone. Conan O'Brien. Antonio Banderas.

They're ridiculous. Renny Zellweger. Will Renny Zellweger.

Shining Titan. Denzel Washington. Glenn Close. Disney Cruise Line here on ABC. Burger King. Paul Burger King. Sigourney Fever.

Fever. Anyway, there's a ton of these clips of him. I mean, it's wild, this guy. His pronunciation is the whole night. Sigourney Fever.

Like, I don't know what's happening. That's awesome. It seems like a good gig. Every once in a while, you open the mic in between stuff as they're going to different segments and when they're announcing who's going to walk up to the stage to present the next award, like, that's a cool gig. I think that would be really fun. Sitting in a sound booth with a microphone, some headphones, and they'd go, Q.

And I'd go, Sigourney Fever. Like, what? What just happened? Denzel Washington. I like that. Yeah. Oh, he was in Minecraft?

Oh, yeah. He's been in a bunch of stuff. I got to check this guy out. Yeah. I know you've seen him in stuff.

You just maybe don't recognize it, but yeah, he's done all kinds of things. Anyway, good gig. I think that would be a fun voiceover gig to have.

That and voice acting for like video games or an animated series, those are like, that's the dream. Okay, you aim for that. That's your goal.

Okay, sure. I'm going to do the UFC. You are? Announcing.

Yeah, what to, real bad. We are live. We are live.

What else do they say? It's time. In the red corner, we have.

Fighting out of the red corner. Weighing in at 155. Okay. I would do a great job. Let me put together a promo. Okay.

We'll add some reverb to it so you get a little bit of that big stadium echo. Yeah. And then you're really going to have to push though. What do you mean?

Like right now you're not really pushing. No, I know. You're really going to have to like. I will.

Fighting out of the red corner. Oh, I will. And then you have to throw in, you know, from Honolulu, Hawaii. And then everybody's got like a nickname.

It's Morgan the spider. Yeah. And then you have to drag out the last name.

Alvarez. Like that. Really got a. I could do it. Hit it. I absolutely could. Also, I don't know who Morgan the spider Alvarez is, but that's a good fighter.

I'd like to see him fight. Is it a she or he? She.

I've had a she, the spider, the black widow. Yeah. Should take you down. All right. Well, I can't wait to hear your demo. I am excited. I got to do. I want you to record it all yourself.

Okay. And I want to hear it. I want you to record it and play it back. Okay. Script it out. I will figure out what you're going to say. Okay. Make up your characters. And submit it. And then yeah, and then we'll, we'll get it over to Dana White and we'll go, hey, listen, I know Bruce has got to go, but what if instead you had Chantel.

And then I need a cool name. Why? Because.

Because you can't just be Chantel. No, no. Boring.

Oh, okay. I'm getting, I've got too many names already. Yesterday we made up a brain name. That's right.

The name of my brain. Yes. I couldn't remember. Yeah.

Because it's forgetful Florence. Yeah, I know. And then last night you said, what's the name of your brain? And I said, I don't know. Yeah. Did you hug your brain?

Sure. What were you going to do? You moved your hands.

Just give it a nice squeeze. That's good. We got this Florence. You and me. Babe.

Babe. I stumbled upon an old post the other day on Facebook and it was Businesses You Miss. Businesses You Miss. And a lot of people said kind of the same thing like K-Mart and Shopco.

And a lot of Shaky's Pizza. Okay. That makes sense. I didn't grow up in Idaho Falls and so I don't know Shaky's Pizza. So Idaho Falls and Pocatello both had a Shaky's.

I didn't spend any time in Shaky's. That's what predates me. Okay. I did however spend time at Godfather's Pizza. Oh yeah. And Choyce's Pizza.

And Choyce's and Godfather's I Do Miss. Okay. But only because of, like I don't, I couldn't tell you if their pizza was any good. But I miss hanging out in the arcade with my cousins and stuff.

I was thinking about one that made me real sad, CD world. Oh yeah. We, when I was in college in 2000, early 2000s.

Did I ask you? We would take a road trip. It was like a big thing to come to Idaho Falls from Pocatello sometimes.

Because one, we were broke and so trying to rally together gas money and who had a decent reliable car to drive from Pocatello to Idaho Falls was another thing. But we always had to hit the target. We always had to hit CD world and we would spend hours in CD world. So I would say the same was true with budget tapes and records, which is now budget audio and video, but apparently is still there on Fifth Avenue in Pocatello. I haven't been to budget and I can't even tell you how long, but apparently is still there. I didn't know they were still there.

I did neither. That's pretty awesome. That's why I just had to do a little quick search.

But apparently they are. Look, if you're looking, I know so many young people right now are into like the 90s nostalgia, the physical media craze is kind of booming. If you're not hitting up like a legit record store like that, you're missing it. That was the experience, the experience of going to the music store to pick out the CDs, to look at the posters on the wall, to hang out in that space. That's the experience. Yeah. That's the whole thing.

I agreed. But yeah, now CD world was good. I mean, you could say there's a bunch of stuff in the mall. The mall changed over the course of time. Tilt isn't around.

Suncoast, there were so many great things that were happening then. But it all just changes. I know. Somebody posted Fazoli's.

Remember Fazoli? Okay. Yeah, I do. Yeah. I also remember we had Quiznos around here too. Yeah. Quiznos and Schlotzkes.

Yes. Those were a couple of great delis. Schlotzkes was one of our first dates. It absolutely was.

One of our very first dates was at a Grab a Sandwich at Schlotzkes. Yeah. Which is now going to be a Chipotle. It's like in its fourth thing.

Fourth iteration. Somebody said Smith's. I don't even talk to me about Smith's because that was my store.

And I miss it and I'm upset and I will always and forever be upset because now it's no Riley's. Okay. Yeah. Correct. It is indeed. And now an auto parts warehouse.

That is true. I feel so mad about it every time I drive by. I go, bring back my Smith's. You took my Smith's from me.

A light Smith's. Yeah. I do too. Here's the thing. And we got to get some stuff around here.

There's not a lot going on around this part of Idaho Falls specifically. This part. This part being physically where we're at. Okay.

Right. You have to travel further west or further east to get regular stuff like a grocery store. Somebody's got to put in a Smith's right over here. It's far enough away because that was the argument, right? It's so we just put a bunch of money into Fred Meyer and this one's too close. So we're just going to close this one. And then it's within a mile of Fred Meyer anyway. And I like Fred Meyer. I know. That's very sharp. I get it. But I loved Smith's. Right.

I'm so mad about it still. And there's one in Chubbock, which is good. But again, I would argue room for another one in Pocotello on the other end of Yellowstone. Because there's, you know, get over there.

Get over there. Crowder. Somebody said Hastings. People miss Hastings. Hastings was awesome. I miss Hastings a lot.

Yep. Godfather's Pizza was on this list. Now somebody said Taco Bandito. I didn't know you guys used to have a Taco Bandito.

We did. It was on First Street. I told you that there's a taco place there now, but that used to be a Taco Bandito.

There is a Taco Bandito in Burley. Right. And that's like the place. That's where you can run into family. You run into everybody there because it's the only place to eat in Burley. That's not true.

They've grown a little bit. Somebody did say there's still a Taco Bandito in Burley and it's worth the drive. And I would disagree with that. I would disagree as well. We ate there not that long ago and I went, yeah, I'm good. It's kind of flavorless. And even my family members who eat there a lot say it is flavorless, but you have to add hot sauce. And I go, yeah, I've dumped a whole bottle of hot sauce on it.

When we sit down, they go, we're going to need two or three more bottles of hot sauce. Like it's just meh. It's just meh. Right. And I'm going to get in a lot of trouble for that because Taco Bee in Burley, you don't say bad things about Taco Bee.

There are definitely some places that could come back. Yeah. Remember Roberts, the craft store? Sure.

I loved that place and porters. Yeah. Oh man.

Oh, look at you. More recently. Remember Joanne? Joanne. The latest one to leave us.

That's what I'm saying. Remember Joanne? I always say Joanne, so you correct me and say it's actually Joanne.

There is no S. It is Joanne. She's one lady. She doesn't even own it. It's just Joanne.

She doesn't even own it. Fabric and craft. Joanne.

She doesn't even go here. Yep. Well, thanks for making me reminisce. I know.

This conversation happened last night and I didn't hear the beginnings of it, but I feel like you gave the dog a little piece of bacon. Yes. Which made our son very upset. Correct. And said, you're not supposed to give the dog any bacon.

That's not healthy. Okay. And I didn't say anything about it and you didn't say anything about it. And then he said, he got really upset and he goes, you always just laugh at me when I say that.

But I feel like I'm the only one who cares about the dog. And that's when I chimed in and went, oh really? Okay.

Well, let me reel back a little bit. Over the weekend, I had made some bacon and there were a few pieces left over that didn't get eaten. So I chopped them up and I put them in a little ziploc bag and they've been in the fridge. And not every day, not even since I did it, have I given the dog any bacon? Right.

I dropped three or four little small cut up cubes of the bacon into her bowl. And like yesterday afternoon. Right.

And at dinner, Emery said, that dog thinks she needs a T-R-E-A-T and I'm like, you're spelling now so the dog doesn't hear what you're saying. Got it. Okay. And I said, I already gave her one.

I gave her some bacon earlier. And then that's what started the whole thing. Now, it was, as I said, maybe four little tiny quarter inch cubes. Nothing huge. Right.

Right. Here's the deal with bacon and dogs. It's high in salt, has a lot of sodium, which can cause excessive thirst. It can cause bloating. It can, it's not good.

The salt content is not good. It can upset their digestive system. It's not healthy. The high fat content can cause pancreatitis.

The same things that happen to humans if you eat too much bacon. Okay. Can happen to dogs. Right. They say keep it rare.

Which we do. Make sure it's small bites, which it is. And they say to opt for leaner treats, which we always do.

We have way other options. And you should also avoid raw bacon. Don't feed raw bacon to animals.

So they can have it. It's okay in tiny bits. Tiny doses.

And like crazy moderation. And so it's not a big deal. My hang up was when he said, I'm the only one who cares about the dog. And I went, oh, really? Right. And I just laughed.

Rather than start a fight, I just went, oh, okay. Because of all of the people living in our house, he is the one who has the least amount to do with the dog. Does he take her outside? No. Does he take her for walks? No. Does he feed her? No.

Does she have water right now? Probably not because of him. Well, that's what I'm saying. Yes, she does because.

Because I gave her a fresh cup this morning. We filled it, yeah. So, I mean, we've gone out of town before.

Right. And we've checked in because we have a camera and we're like, door hasn't been opened in hours and hours and hours. And so we know that the dog hasn't been outside in hours and hours and hours. And we've texted and said, hey, you need to let the dog out. Oh, hey, the dog needs to go to the bathroom.

Oh, hey, have you fed the dog? Right. I mean, hours and hours and hours. Right. So for you to sit there and tell me that you're the only one that cares about the dog, please see your way out. Thank you, dear son of mine. You know, it's the way it goes sometimes. But I'm, you know, at least he's, I mean, he's thoughtful about the dog. That's true. Maybe that's what he means. Am I the only one that's thinking about the dog's health? Should have been the question, not a statement of I'm the only one that cares. It should have been a, am I the only one that is thinking about how that affects the dog?

Possibly. Because if I would have been like, yeah, I gave her, I cooked up a whole pack of bacon and fed it to the dog. I'd be like, that's nuts.

That's too crazy. Right. And we've been, we need to get her into some obedience training and different things. We just have a time to look into that. But we've been trying to do a little bit of our own training and we've been trying to have her sit when I get home from work.

Correct. Because she goes a little bit crazy. She gets very excited to see you after the long day away. Yeah. And so every time that happens or anytime she goes a little bit crazy like that, we got to get that dog some training. And I go, okay, bye, be my guest.

Who's we? You got a mouse in your pocket, buddy? Go ahead.

Do the research, find someone, pay for it. We got to get it done. These kids, I tell you. I know. It's a good thing Beck is there. He's the only one that cares about the dog.

And he's going to let us know about it. Did you take her on a walk last night? No. We did. I did.

That's right. We went and walked that mile and a half. And I literally said, hey, we're going for a walk.

Do you want to come? And he went, ah, I'm good. Okay. I'm going to go take the dog for some exercise. I'm the only one who cares about the dog. When it matters at the table when it's about bacon.

I'm the only one that cares about whether the dog has bacon. That would have even been a better statement. Yes. Agreed.

Am I the only one that cares the dog doesn't have bacon? Totally, totally valid. Well, and I was already a little bit cranky. And then when he said that, I went, oh, don't. This is not the right time.

My guy. That would have been a good comeback. Not now. I just went, oh, really? I was just telling you something cool that I wanted to do this weekend. Right. And you said, oh, I can't do that. I'm busy. I mean, you can go. I'm just, I'm busy.

Yeah. And you looked at me and said, what are you doing? Like we haven't talked about it every day for the past month.

Like you haven't talked about it every day for the past month. I will be at the Flytime Expo Friday and Saturday. I'm unavailable to go to your thing on Saturday because I will be at the Flytime Expo. The Flytime Expo or the Flyfishing Expo? Flytying Expo. Not the Flyfishing Expo. There's plenty of flyfishing gear and workshops and everything as well, but it's called the Flytying Expo.

Okay, got it. And I said, how long are you going to be there? What are the times you're going to be there? And you said all day Friday and all day Saturday. And I said, and here's where our brains are vastly different. I said, what are you going to eat for food?

What are you going to do for food? And you said, with a shocked look on your face. Hadn't even thought about it.

I don't know. I have not even considered what I will do for food. But you know exactly what you're going to wear.

That is correct. I know what I'm going to wear. I know how excited I am. I know that one of the vendors has been posting a new product that they are premiering at the Expo and I am very excited about it. And I've been commenting on their posts and they've been reacting to my comments on Instagram about it.

I'm very excited to see this new product because it's going to change a few things in how some of the flies that I make present in the water and I'm really stoked about it. And one of my comments, I said, I'm going to be poor, aren't I? And they laughed.

They did a laugh emoji reaction to my post. So I know. Great.

I know. OK, what that tells me, the fact that you haven't even thought about what you're going to eat. Yeah, it's just like when I go fishing. It is absolutely just like when you're going to go fishing. And it's fine until you start to get hungry and then you go, oh, I can't leave. Let's call Chantel.

That's right. She can be my little door dasher. And you call me. And I'm like, honey, I'm in the middle of something. It's because I'd like to see you. It's not because I forgot food. It's because I think you're adorable. And if you brought me some food, it'd be two amazing things at once.

I get to see your cute little face and food. Stop. We don't have enough bread for all this butter.

What does that mean? You are laying on the butter. You are buttering me up.

Yeah, listen, I just think that would be it'd be a delight to see you. Stop. Stop it. Take your own snacks. Take your own food, because here's what happens every time. And I've done this before.

I've taken a day off from work and I said, nobody tell my husband, because when you know that I have the day off, then I'm your little errand. No, you do not. I just would like to go to lunch with you and see your smiling little face. I don't make you run errands. I don't go, hey, would you go do this and that and the other?

You don't do that. But I go, hey, would you like to have lunch with me? Can you bring me lunch? Do you want to bring lunch to me?

Yeah. Would you like to have lunch with me? I will. I will send you that text message a few times a week.

Hey, lunch? Question mark. You do.

That's true. But when you know that I have the day off, you go, oh, hey, do you want to bring me something? You want to bring me some lunch? And I go, yeah, I guess I had my own plans, but sure. And that's what's going to happen this weekend, because you haven't thought about food. I'm going to be your errand.

I'm going to be the beck and call girl. No, yes. No, yes.

No way. And I'm going to be like, you should have thought about snacks. But you didn't.

Here's the thing. I'm not trying to be a mother. I'm pretty good, like if I settle down. I'm pretty good. If I have a breakfast, I'm good till dinner. Yeah, you really are.

You can be, for sure. Like that's what happens when I go fishing. I bring my water with me so I can have a drink and stay hydrated, but I don't care about food. I'm there to do something else, and eating's not part of it. It is rare that you think about food. But you're fine with it. I think about food all the time.

Right. I always have to have a snack within arm's reach at 24 hours a day. Like it's when I'm like sitting around on board that I'm like, I guess I'll eat. But if I'm occupied and busy and doing stuff like, oh, I should probably eat.

Someone's going to have to tell me, hey, dude, you should take a break and eat something. But I also think that just is like a motherly thing to do. Like, because whenever, Emery, I always ask her, what did you eat today? Did you eat some breakfast? Did you eat lunch? What are you packing for your track meet tomorrow? Do you have enough snacks?

Do you have this? Like, I think it's just a mom thing to be like, what are you going to eat? No, I think it's just a good parent thing. Where I'm like, why don't you feel good? Did you eat?

When's the last time you ate? I'm like a troubleshooter, not a preemptive, you know, hey, you should think about this stuff so that you don't have this as a result. I'm like, well, you, this is the result. Let's figure out the cause. Did you eat something?

Let's eat something and see if that makes it feel better. That's true. You are the troubleshooter for sure. Yeah. OK, well, I'm not preventative.

I'm a preemptive. Maybe you should pack some snacks. Maybe.

Or not, I guess. I mean, as long as I have a breakfast, I should be good till dinner. I'm just saying, if you call me and you go, hey, can you bring me some food? What will you be doing other than waiting for my call anyway? I just told you I have lots of plans.

My bad. Hey, can you tell me what you did to make our daughter so angry at us last night? Couldn't tell you because she was very upset at us. She was very upset at us. I think I gave her an answer. She didn't want to hear.

And don't do that. She completely shuts down and you can't even talk any kind of logic. And she just shuts down and goes away.

Yeah. I don't know where she gets out from. I don't either.

Strange behavior that I've never seen before. Where where do you think she really got tipped off? Because I think like things were okay and then something happened and then it was like not okay because like, was it really just the earring thing? Is that it? I think so.

Okay. Well, but the thing I want to talk about mostly is that happened what about eight o'clock and normally if she has a little bit of time to herself, she can go listen to music or she can do something to kind of like relax or calm down. Similar to what I do.

Like once I have time to just like everyone go away and I can just decompress. Sure. Then I'm okay. But hours and hours later when I went in. A couple hours, yeah.

Yeah. Two hours. Hours and hours.

One and two. When you say hours and hours, that sounds like like a whole work day later. This was not a whole work day. Okay. A couple of hours later. I went in to tell her good night and she, I had been reading on the couch and she had come out and walked past me. We did not talk to me. Did not make eye contact. I was downstairs tying flies. I'm not going to poke that bear. So I'm not going to communicate until you communicate first.

I did. So she kept coming downstairs like three times. She came downstairs.

I said, what are you doing? And she just kept walking by and went back upstairs. And I thought maybe she just had her, her earbuds in or something. And so she was just zoned out, but I don't, I can't confirm that. She might have just been that cranky at us. She was. And she was like, I'm not even going to look at you. Oh, she absolutely was.

Because when I went in to tell her good night, whoo-wee. I'm sitting down on my vice. I'm busy. And I'm like, hey, what do you keep coming down here for? What are you up to? Silence. Back upstairs. Okay.

Yeah. I, I walked into her room to say good night. And she had been making some.

Yeah. The pipe cleaner flowers. I saw that too. And I go, oh, those are so cute.

Oh boy. And I said, are you still mad at me? And she goes, no. And I went, oh boy. Okay.

Sure thing. And I said, well, I'm going to bed. So, hey, I love you, even though you're cranky at me.

And she goes, mm-hmm. Quick question. Yes. What's it like living with yourself? What's that like? What are you suggesting?

The same thing you've been suggesting this entire time. Yeah, but it's okay if I say it. Where do you think she learned that? It's okay if I say it. Oh, is it? What's it like living with yourself?

A little miniature version of yourself. It was, what did she say to you? Was she pretty mad at you still when you went to say good night? I tried to give her a hug when I was saying good night. And she gave me like a one arm hug. Yeah. She knows is not acceptable.

No, that's not how we have. And I went, uh-uh, two arms and she was like, all right. Good night. Hope you have a better day tomorrow. You said that?

No, but that's the attitude. I went, good night. Well, she was texting me this morning about her outfit. So. You think she's pretty cheery today?

I think she's pretty chilled out. Don't bring it up again though. Yoy. I didn't bring it up the first time. I didn't either. She did. She brought on the whole affair. And then cranky from there on out. Well.

Just give the girl what she wants every time. Well, here it is, your opportunity to go dig up some dinosaurs. Dino DNA. That is correct. I want to. I know you do. That's why I said here it is, your chance to go on a tyranosaur hunt.

Idaho paleontologists have identified an area near the Montana border to investigate for tyranosaurus, albertosaurus, and de seplitosaurus. I think is how you say it. It's probably wrong.

That's totally wrong. And they are looking for people to help search for dinosaurs in rocks that have never been looked at by paleontologists and to write the next chapter in Idaho's dinosaur research. It's ages 14 and up. There are three dates to choose from.

They are the 14th, the 18th of July or August the eighth. And you can go to the Idaho Museum of Natural History on Facebook and register all the tools, all the training and transportation from Pocatello are included. And you can go dig for dinos. Dude, let's do this. Don't you want to dig for dinos? Now, everything I've seen from Jurassic Park.

It feels a little hot and a little dusty. Yep, looks like it's going to be that. But I'm willing to take that chance. Just pulled it up.

It's $150 and that's going to get you everything you need to get out there and help them search for dinosaurs in rocks that have never been looked at by paleontologists. Bro, do you want to? It'd be a lot of fun. I want to. It would be a lot of fun. You can go to the Idaho Museum of Natural History's website to get all the details and sign up. Let's do this. What other chance do we have to dig up dinosaur bones? I don't know.

But that's happening. Why are they offering regular people this? It's 14 and up. But what? Because it's a chance to teach people about paleontology.

That's what the museum should be doing. Do you know? OK, so we've talked about this before, but there's an album, Here Come Science, by They Might Be Giants. I know, yeah. I knew when I said the word paleontologist that you would want to sing the song. I knew that. That's all I would do.

I understand. You would walk around saying I am a paleontologist. It's who I am. It's who I am. It's who I am. See, there's something wrong with Florence, your brain. There's nothing wrong. Because in addition to being forgetful, Florence also breaks into song anytime a single word is uttered.

Paleontologist. Boom, I've got to sing the song. What's wrong with that? It's just an interesting thing that Florence does to you. It's fine. Why is that a problem? That's not a problem. I mean, it's not necessarily a problem. It has a tendency to be disruptive.

No. Because it takes over the entirety of your existence until you get it out is why it's disruptive. You can't continue to think about a thing until you get the song out. That's why it's a problem. I see what you're saying. Right.

The conversation has to stop so that you can get the song out so that we can continue is what I'm saying. Yeah, yeah. That's the problem. I see what you're saying. But it's not a problem.

I think it just adds more fun. Is that right? Yeah.

Okay. Well, and it adds to conversation because then people will say, what? And I'll say, oh, have you not heard that song before? And you've completely diverted from the original conversation to have a conversation about a music vocal stem that you're having. And then you go, what were we talking about? And then I go, I don't know because for the past 15 minutes you've been telling me about this band.

So it's a derailment, you see. So are you suggesting, what are you suggesting that I quit doing that altogether? I'm just saying, no, I'm just saying that it's definitely a thing that is going on in your brain. Oh, for sure. That's all I'm saying. And it would be helpful to be able to stay on task and not be diverted by the song every time that the lyric kicks into your brain.

I'm sorry, it can't be done. That's what I'm saying. So you know, it's fine.

Everything's a song. And that is your own special form of whatever causes that. I think it's an ADHD thing.

I think it's an adult ADHD thing. Yeah, it's possible. I'm pretty confident. Yeah, it's possible. I mean, I'm not the one to diagnose that. But I feel like that might be what it is. I don't want to stop that part of my brain. I like that part of my brain.

I didn't say you should. I just want you to know that it's a thing. Oh, I know it's a thing.

So now, if you'd like to go to the Idaho Museum of Natural History's website and sign up to dig dino's, you can. Okay, how much is it? 150? 150 per person it looks like. And they fly you there? They don't fly you anywhere, but they'll drive you.

All the tools, training and transportation from Pocotelo. Sick. Right.

I'm ready. Now, I don't know if that means they'll have a stop in Idaho Falls to pick up people that register from Idaho Falls or if you have to go to Pocotelo and get on the bus there. It may be part of the education along the way that you would miss out on. So it's probably ask them that question.

I don't know that information, but you can go and you can learn more about it. When you said get on the bus. Uh-huh. You went straight to. Get on the bus. Yep. Pay your fare. Here we go. It's Florence is a musical person.

And a musical genius. All right. Fun Florence. That's this part of her.

Is that right? Forgetful Florence. If you don't know Florence is my brain.

You can hear that in yesterday's episode if you want to go listen to the podcast. So there's fun Florence. There's forgetful Florence. There's fearful Florence.

Yeah. There's many Florence. Frustrated Florence. Oh boy. Which is what I am right now at you. Why?

I'm not. Just let me get it out. It's got to come out. Got to dance. Here we go. So many shakeups in the NFL.

So many shakeups. Can I tell you, I saw that you had written a note for this and I wasn't sure what you were talking about. First of all, the W is not capitalized.

So I didn't know it was not a name. And I thought you were going to talk about saggy necks. Go on. Because I put on the sheet waddle not capitalized. No mo.

No mo. So I thought you found an exercise to help with neck skin. Because I've been concerned about my neck skin as I get a little bit older.

And I just thought maybe that was something you'd learned about was some sort of way they were fixing neck skin. No, I am talking about a person. Yeah, Jalen Waddle. Jalen Waddle.

Yes. From the Miami Dolphins. Not anymore. Not anymore. He's now Jalen Waddle from?

The Denver Broncos. That is correct. Which doesn't seem, I mean it's cold there. So Waddle. Oh, because he does his penguin thing. Yeah. I see what you're saying. In the end zone, he does a little waddle.

That's right. Sad day in our house because that was the one player that Emery really, really loved. That is like one of her favorites. And she said, I don't want to be a Bronco. No one does, dear. No one does.

Your brother and your dad do. But and lots of other people enjoy the Denver Broncos because they're like one of the regional teams I would say. Yeah, I would agree with that.

Which was an argument that our son put up. Hey, he's going to be closer. You can go to Denver and see him play.

I don't want to be a Bronco. It's interesting. I don't know. You start watching football because you like certain players. And then you choose that team because the players play for that team. And then the players leave and then you go, well now what do I do? Do I stick with this team or do I follow that player?

And most of the time the people stick with the team. Yeah. But the Dolphins, which is our daughter's team, they've gotten a huge shakeup. Yeah, two was gone. The coach is gone. The coach is gone. Yeah, Mike McDaniel is gone. Now you got Waddle gone. You got Tyreek Hill gone. A couple of seasons ago, one of your favorite dudes who was a defender is gone.

Yeah, they're just starting from scratch. What was his name? Wilkins. Yeah, that's right. Yeah. They are completely rebuilding.

It's crazy. Start from scratch, those Dolphins. New QB and two, like the running back and the wide receive route. Your offense is completely restructuring. New coach. And yeah, that's a whole new thing. Do they have the coach yet?

Yeah. Who is it? It doesn't matter.

I'm not going to know them. It doesn't. But I think we've already talked about it because when it happened, we talked about it. So yeah, a lot of changes. A lot of changes. And then of course the draft is coming up.

When? It's boring. I don't watch the draft. It's boring. You don't even like the first round stuff? No, it's so boring. It's not that exciting.

Everybody makes it seem like it's this big deal, but it's not. It's about a month away. April 23rd through the 25th, it is going to be in Pittsburgh this year at Point State Park and Accra Shire Stadium in Pittsburgh. Round one will take place on Thursday, the 23rd of April. Rounds two and three will be the 24th. And rounds four through seven will be the 25th. So really the 23rd, the Thursday night's the night to watch. That's the one that's got all the big prospects from college that you'll be seeing it draft. Yeah, but last year we kind of watched because we liked Ashton Janti.

That's right. Because he's from Boise State. And now I don't know anybody in the draft. Yeah, I don't know who's declared. I know Beck knows. He is definitely plugged in.

I know there's a couple of players. He's been watching the graduated high school in Idaho Falls. Oh, we're serious? Yeah, yeah, yeah. Like there's one from Thunder Ridge, one from Skyline.

There's a couple. No way. Yeah, yeah. There's a couple of local athletes that have declared. That's cool. And he'll let us know for sure who they are.

But I don't know where they are in the potential draft positions. Yeah. But I know he does. Oh, that's cool. Well, maybe I will have to watch. No, I'll just get highlights. No, it's so boring. It's not exciting.

I do like when... Roger Goodell comes out and they boo him. No, no, I don't care. That makes me sad. For Roger Goodell, you feel sad for Roger Goodell. He can handle some booze. The dude's rich.

You kidding me? Yeah, he doesn't seem to mind. He's just like, yeah, whatever. I'm going to go home. Yeah, who cares? He's like, oh, you don't like me too bad.

I'm going to be driven home to my mansion. Yeah, sorry about my money. I do like when they call the players. Yes. And the whole family's there and they cry and it's a big deal. That's always kind of nice. I don't mind watching that.

That's first round. Because I'm a big softy. Yeah, the drama of it all. Anyway, that's coming up.

And yes, the dolphins are going to need some help. Now, what do you know about Nekskid? I don't know anything except that it's called a waddle. And if there was a way to make waddle no mo, a lot of people would really enjoy that.

That's what I know. Would you rather this or that? Would you rather have six little sisters or six little brothers? Oh, dude. Oh, man.

Right? Pros and cons of each. One, I'm going to have to be a crazy protector. The other one, I'm going to have to be a crazy defender. I'd say the same can exist for both.

Yeah, I would as well. But I do feel like the brothers, it's going to be, I have to defend myself against the pack of six little brothers. More than I would have to defend myself against the pack of six little sisters.

Eventually that turns into, now I have to protect the little sisters. And that would be a lot of work. I was thinking of noise.

Oh, good grief. As far as noise is concerned, I would take the brothers. The girls do an awful lot of screaming. That's exactly what I'm saying. And six of them. But boys make a lot of just random noise. But it's not that high-pitched screaming.

Right. Like boys are just noise covered in dirt. But girls can be loud.

Right. Squeals and giggles and screams. I don't care about giggles.

Fine. It's that scream. And they do it when they're mad and they do it when they're happy and they do it when they are just chasing after each other.

My brother has three girls. And when they were little, it was... Oh yeah. It's a noise. Ooh, you guys have to go outside. Right. It's like, hey. Scram.

Get out of here. I think I just would take the six little brothers. That's so mad. It's a lot of little brothers.

Right. I have one younger sister, which is just fine. That's... Can I just keep what I have?

No. Because that sounds better than six of anything. That's so much. If I had six little siblings, that would be the worst. One, you wouldn't be the baby.

No. I'd have to actually do stuff. I have to be responsible? Get out. I don't want to be responsible. What are you picking?

I'm going to pick the little brothers. Good luck with that. Thank you. Enter defense mode. Because you're just going to be constantly going, no, no. Don't... Bad idea. That's a bad idea. I'm going to break something. Don't... Do not touch me. Go away. Yeah. Stop making noise. No.

Would you rather this or that? We have gone all morning without talking about this. What is it? It's sloppy joe day. You, I'm surprised, want to talk about this because you don't like sloppy joes.

It depends. I like my mom's sloppy joes. What did your mom do so special about sloppy joes?

I don't know. They were my mom's. Your mom's always your mom's. I know you're going to defend your mom.

That's not the question. The question is, what did your mom do that excited you about sloppy joes? They were just good. Ground beef. Yeah. Homemade sauce.

So she's doing stuff with like tomato sauce. I grew up on manwich. I'm a manwich kid. Manwich sloppy joes.

That's not it. Somehow, how did we end up with them? We ended up with a can of manwich. I think it was a gag gift or something. I think. But it grossed you out.

Here's what happened. I think because I like to play Christmas games. Right. And I get prizes for Christmas games. And I think one year I was like, this is going to be so funny.

I'm just going to, as prizes, I'm just going to offload a bunch of food in our cupboard. That sounds right. And then there was. That sounds accurate. There was a can of manwich that was included in the Christmas game prizes. Yeah. And that can of manwich ended up going somewhere.

And the person who received it was very excited about it. Because they like manwich. It's good.

No, it's not. When's the last time you had manwich? I couldn't even tell you because I don't want to remember. What's in manwich?

Can we just for a minute. Talk about how bad a name that is. That is a bad name. Manwich. It is the original sloppy joe sauce. It is tomato based sauce mixed with here's where it gets bad. High fructose corn syrup distilled vinegar corn syrup salt dried bell peppers spices and it thickens thickeners like guar gum and xanthum gum. Guar gum.

Yeah. It's premixed canned sauce designed to be added to brown ground beef or turkey to create a sweet tangy sloppy joe. The slogan for manwich is a sandwich is a sandwich but a manwich is a meal. That is correct. I do remember that slogan.

That is correct. Listen, I don't know why they called it manwich. I don't either. Why is it called that?

I don't know. A manwich is a meal. So anyway, if you want to celebrate appropriately on sloppy joe day, have a sloppy joe. Do you like your sloppy joes open faced or closed? I'm going to ask the real question.

Which is? Mayo on your toasted bun or no? No. Pickles? Yes.

Toasted bun. Yes. Mayo.

No. Real mayo, not miracle whip. Real mayo. Scoop a manwich. No.

Pickles on top. No, no. Not manwich. That right there is a meal. Toasted. Not a sandwich. That's a meal. Toasted bun.

Yes. Layer of. Dry bun. I mean butter because you put butter on it. When you toast it, you put butter on it. No, you put mayonnaise on it. Like a man. And then you put your manwich on it like a man.

Oh, okay. And then you eat it. Manwich. Real tough guy over here. Is a portmanteau of man and sandwich. I got to get my mayo because I'm a man.

Listen to me. Manwich was introduced by the Hunt's company in 1969 as a can sauce to easily make sloppy joes. The name implies a hearty filling meal famously marketed with the slogan sandwich as a sandwich. And what's been a man, which is a meal targeting a filling easy to make dinner option. It's a sandwich for a man. Manwich. Real tough.

Real tough guys. The name was designed to evoke a hearty satisfying meal suitable for a man's appetite. Differentiating it from a light lunch. Right. Have a salad, but then for dinner, man with. Because I'm just a lady.

That's right. I can't have a meal. I just have to have a salad. I'll be over here having a man. No real meal for me.

Don't give me anything hearty. No, I'm just a lady. You can have part of my man. Which just one bite one bite'll do you.

So you'll need it's a hearty meal. A man, which stupid mayo on there like a man. Pickles like a man.

Stop. Man, which it's actually not a good name. It's not actually a good meal. It's more than a sandwich though.

It is a meal. They say scrap making it from scratch is much better and it's not much more difficult to do. It's not because you're going to open a can of tomato sauce and then you're going to add in the other things and you're going to avoid those corn syrups, which is a big deal. Yeah, my mom added ketchup and she had mustard and vinegar.

Interesting. I think that was her special sauce. This is the first result for the best homemade sloppy joes. Top of the list.

At least they have the best search engine optimization anyway. It's got butter, olive oil, ground beef, green bell pepper, large yellow onion, both minced, some garlic in there, tomato paste. They're losing me a ketchup. I'd switch it out for tomato sauce. That's what my mom did though.

I just don't like it. And plus if you use the tomato sauce, you're not getting all the sugar from the ketchup. Water, brown sugar. Oh my mom did that too. They want one tablespoon. See if you're using the ketchup, you're getting all the salt and the sugar from the ketchup as well.

You don't need it. There is some mustard in here, some chili powder, some Worcestershire, salt, red pepper flake, black pepper and a dash of hot sauce. That sounds nice. Hot sauce for me because I'm just a lady.

Man witch. These look nice. I haven't had a sloppy joe in a really long time. It's been a long time since I've had a sloppy joe. Couple of options. There's a Tex-Mex where it's got some corn in it. You could do something like that. There's a Mississippi roast which would use a roast, like a chuck roast instead of a ground beef.

So you would process that, but then they put pepperoncini on them. That sounds nice. There's a beef chorizo sloppy joe recipe. I really like chorizo, but I can't think about what it is when I eat it. And then of course, you can swap out the beef for some ground turkey and have a healthier leaner sloppy joe.

Have some sloppy joe. Do you know what I'd call that? A sloppy Jane. If you do it with turkey, it's a sloppy Jane. It's leaner.

Because we're trying to watch our figure. Well, right now I am actually. Okay. Learned a lot. Yes, we sure did. Happy sloppy joe day. Have a sloppy joe. Have a sloppy joe. Your way. Yeah, man, which way?

No, woman, which day? Plus, I don't even think you need to add it to ground beef. Just pour it on a bun. Oh, gross. Just cold. Just dip a bun in it.

Yeah, out of the chaos. That's how I eat my man, which like a man. Dip my bun in the pan like a man, man, which man, which. All right, let's have a great rest of your Wednesday. Tomorrow is our Friday on a Thursday because we will not be in the studio on Friday because I will be at the fly time.

Expo. We heard Josh. We all know what you're going to be. I just want you to know you can stop by and see me.

It's free to get in at the Mountain America Center on Friday and Saturday. So I won't be in the studio. You're just taking like the day off or what? No, I'm taking the morning off. You're going to do your other job.

All right. But I'll meet you there. Who's going to bring me lunch?

I can't. I have to work. I told you to pack your own snacks. Pack your man, which.

Yeah. Because you're such a man. Take care of yourself because you're such a man. Have a great day. We'll see you tomorrow. Bye. Thank you.
