Full show transcript:
I just watched this video where this woman was cooking, it looked to be eggs. It looked like she was scrambling eggs. And she happened to look out the window and she goes, look at the sky.
It's so beautiful, like a sunset maybe or a sunrise or something. And her husband comes over and goes, that is beautiful. And he goes, here, I'll take over, you go look at it. And he came and started to cook for her while she could go look at the sky.
And I thought that was what a nice, like just a simple gesture of, you go do the thing. I'll take over for you. What am I trying to say, Josh? Just a simple gesture of love. Okay.
I was just gonna let you get that sentence out. I was just, I was taken over listening while you were working through that sentence.
Is that your simple gesture of love? Simple.
I was listening, wasn't talking over you. I wasn't trying to finish your sentence with words that weren't yours. Just listening. Letting you, letting you cook. How'd it go? Great. Did you get what you said, what you wanted to say?
I think so. Okay, good. It is nice.
It is nice. It's a very sweet thing.
It's just a nice little reminder to just do something nice for the people that you love. Oh yeah. Oh, yeah.
That is nice. That is nice. Oh yeah.
That's awesome. What else do you know? That's it. That's all I know.
It's nice. Thanks. Thanks for sharing that nice story. Do you want to go look at the sky? It's windy and cloudy today. No.
Okay. No. Got it. All right. Do you want to start today's show? Let's do it. How do you want to start? Ta-da.
Like a magic show? Sure.
Here it is. Enjoy the show. Ta-da. We need like an overture? Sure. Those were drums. Here's today's show. Hey. Hey.
A couple of things I need today. Okay. Peanut butter and jelly sandwich. K.Y. Children's book. Okay. A little small DIY project and a ferret.
No to the ferret. Yes to everything else. Why? These are random things.
These are several of the days that are being celebrated today. Dude. And I just feel like they crammed a bunch in.
Yeah, I think so too. One was the last time you had a peanut butter and jelly sandwich.
Like an actual real homemade PB and J. Yeah. It's been a minute because the uncrustables have made it too easy. I know. And I like the uncrustable.
I do too. It's not a peanut butter and jelly sandwich. It's a pretend peanut butter and jelly sandwich. Okay. Like a peanut butter and jelly sandwich. Man, it's good. And you are a, I'm a bread, peanut butter, jelly, bread, peanut butter, jelly.
Smush them. Yeah. No. I'm a double layer. Yeah. What do you do? One sides peanut butter, one sides jelly. You've got it all backwards. I don't think so. It's not enough jelly. It's, it's as much jelly as I want. Yours is too much peanut butter. No. Yeah.
The jelly, you got to have the right amounts of jelly and peanut butter. And yours is all wrong. Sorry to say. I disagree.
But I'm looking up the proper way to make the peanut butter jelly.
There is no proper way.
It's everybody's preference. To make the perfect peanut butter and jelly sandwich, you apply an even layer of peanut butter to one slice of bread and jelly to the other, then combine. That is the way to do it as instructed by everywhere on the internet.
A proper schmopper. Yeah. It's wrong. It's wrong.
I don't know. I think maybe we're going to have to ask somebody else said the only proper way is to make two for now and one for later.
That is the proper way. So that's a pretty good answer. Two for now. That's a lot of peanut butter and jelly sandwiches.
The only reason you would butter both sides is if it's going to sit for a while. That method prevents the jelly from soaking through the bread. I like that reasoning. That makes logical sense because it is a moisture barrier. I agree with that. But if I'm making it to eat it now, I'm doing it the right way.
That is not the right way.
Yes, it is. It's the internet's way. Oh, and the internet's right about everything. Mostly. Every time I read comments, I go, yeah, you're right. That's a great point you've made. So yeah, the people on the internet are correct always.
Always. 100%. Everything I read, I agree with. Okay. What are the other days? Children's book?
Oh, let me go back to that. Today is International Children's Book Day. Okay. Great day to encourage kids to read. So that's my peanut butter and jelly, my children's book. What's your favorite children's book? Hop on Pop. I read a lot. It's a good one.
To our kids? Yeah. You did read that. Why did you pick that one all the time?
I don't know that I did as much as the kids enjoyed me. Stop. Yeah. Yep.
You must not hop on pop.
Right. And maybe that's why the kids liked when I read it. I read that one a lot to little kids hop on pop. National DIY day. So that's why I said I want a small DIY project. I don't want anything big. I want something.
I got a DIY project for you. No, I bet you do. I don't want it. It's too big. It's too big. It's not. It's small. Here's a do it yourself project. Are you ready?
The upstairs bathroom. No, it's too big. Yeah, that's exactly what I was thinking. I know it's too big.
Okay. How about this one? Load the dishwasher. Let's do it yourself.
No, that's a chore. Yeah. That you're going to do yourself. Like a DIY for me. It says it's supposed to be something that you would do yourself instead of paying someone to do. Okay. All right. That's why it's a DIY.
We typically do that because we're too cheap
to pay someone to do for us. Yeah, that's right. And then days and hours and time and money later we go, should have just hired someone. Yeah, I would. It would have been greater to hire somebody. And then also it's national fair day. This is very exciting and we'll talk about this later in some capacity, I'm sure of it. But today is also World Autism Awareness Day.
It is a day to spread kindness and awareness of autism. And the spectrum is large. Yes. And there are a lot of different places where people fall on it. And we want to recognize that. So today is also World Autism Day.
Great. Yeah. Lots of lots of things to celebrate today.
And it's one day closer to Friday. As I said yesterday when we ended the show. Loot. And that's something to be like real excited and grateful for. Oh yeah. All right. Okay.
That's what's happening. Good morning. All right. Here's some good news. We had one for Jordan Love. Now let's get one for Drake May.
He is Buccaneers. Yes, right. Okay. He's the quarterback for Tampa Bay.
Okay. He's only been a quarterback in the NFL for two seasons. He has found great success on the field. He played in the Super Bowl earlier this year. And he's wasting no time making an impact on off the field as well. He played in the Super Bowl.
That's what it says. That's wrong.
Maybe he doesn't play for, he plays for New England now. Yeah. He's New England's quarterback. Did he used to be for the Buccaneers? I think so. Okay. And maybe they moved him that quick. He plays for New England now.
I had him with the Buccaneers as well. Okay. Now I got to look that up. I know. Well, you look that up while I tell this story. Okay. Go ahead. You find out if he was.
Okay. So he and his wife, her name is Ann Michael. They just launched their own charity group, the May Day Family Foundation, all to support children and families facing major hardships. So Drake and Ann Michael have already hit the ground running with a three-year pledge to fund a child life therapist at Boston Children's Hospital, which is, that's huge.
This person will help young patients navigate the emotional challenges of cancer treatment through play and art. And they hope to impact lives of both the Boston area as well as their home state of North Carolina, focusing on providing the resources families need to build a brighter future, which is really cool. They have also done something fun.
They are hosting a celebrity softball game coming up next month, complete with a home run derby, fireworks, all with the goal of raising money to support their charity efforts, which I think is really cool.
That's fantastic. Yeah. Yeah. Okay. Here's what I learned. Okay. We're so done. We knew this. We just got Mayfield, Baker Mayfield.
Yep. It just clicked in my head. We got our bakers and our Drake's and our May's and Mayfield. We just got a little confused.
That's all. Yeah. It just hit me before you even said anything. It all just connected. Well, when I, I went, yeah, I knew that. Yep. Yep. Sorry, Bucks fans.
Yeah, sorry. This is a New England win.
I'm not apologizing to the Patriots. This is a New England win.
Anyway, Drake and Ann Michael, what a great thing. That is cool. Yeah. I like it. Yeah. It's good news. So yesterday was a really cool day for science and space exploration and research in space. There's so much going on. The Artemis II launch, I watched pretty much all day. And by the time it got to be about 4.30 in the afternoon, it was like launches on. And I had been watching a lot, learning a lot about it because we started talking about it early in the morning because it was potentially going to be launch day. And to just kind of immerse myself in that was, it was really cool. It was really moving. Like very, very, I don't know.
I don't know exactly how to explain it. It was emotional to watch because it's such a, like we haven't done this in like 50 years. We haven't sent humans to space toward the moon in a very long time. Like, you know, real space. Right. Real space. Yeah. Not just tall space for a few minutes and then back down.
You see what I'm saying? Like this is a 10 day mission. And so right now, there are four astronauts in, you know, high earth orbit that are like cruising around the earth. And when they launched, they were going like 16, 17,000 miles per hour. That's so crazy.
It's just, it's unfathomable. And they get up there and they're cruising around the earth in these miles, you know. And then it's a six day trip to get to the moon and go around it and then like three and a half, four days to get back.
What does it take longer to get there?
Well, because they're orbiting the earth as like a slingshot to get out toward the moon and then they'll cruise around the back side of the moon and then back to earth. And then it's just, there's so much that goes into it. Yeah. To do the timing, to do, you know, engine thrust, to get everything aligned and pointed the right way. And the entire thing is fascinating to me.
The amount of people that it takes to execute a space mission and then continue it for a series of days. And, you know, there's, there's stuff we're going to get back and learn. Like they took, they took stem cells from the astronauts, built bone marrow out of it and put it into a little case. They're calling it an avatar. And each of the astronauts has this sort of exposed DNA of their own in the capsule so they can bring it back to see how much radiation did it get outside of the suit they wear versus inside. And I mean, there's so much science happening. Fascinating. They're doing everything. And that's really cool. And this is the first time they've put crew in this capsule. It's a brand new vehicle. And so they're, they're doing a bunch of testing on how do we maneuver it?
Is it comfortable to sleep in? I mean, it's just simple stuff because eventually the plan, if all goes well here and everything goes as they intend and they're able to do the whole moon part of the mission and then come back and everything's all copesetic, the next plan in 2028 is to land on the moon. That's next. And then the next plan after that is to start building a moon base so that then we have somewhere hundreds of thousands of miles away that we can then launch and continue the journey to Mars with humans. Like that's what the big goal is, which is so mind boggling.
It's crazy. It's so cool though. I was driving to work this morning. The moon was huge, by the way.
Oh yeah. And then all that's I like to think of like. It's really crazy. People on their way there right now. Yeah. Yeah, it's really, really cool.
Real people too.
Not celebrities with a lot of money. Actual real stuff. And one of them, it's his first time in space. The other three have done incredible work on the space station or been test pilots for things, which is really fascinating. Cook, who is the, I cannot think of her name, Christina Cook, I think. And she actually has the record for the longest solo female spacewalk. She spent just under a year on the space station recently. Cool. So she's pretty remarkable.
Cool. I'll never be as cool as astronauts.
Dude, it's amazing. It is so cool. If you didn't know that there were people I talked to yesterday were like, what are you watching? I'm like, Artemis II launch. And they were like, I didn't even know that was happening. I'm like, come on, man, this is huge.
Yeah. It is. And it's cool. Yeah.
And it's such a nice bright spot in our world.
So anyway, the moon is a nice bright spot in our world.
It was this morning. That is for sure.
I didn't get to see the launch. Is there somewhere that you can really watch?
Absolutely. Some of us had to work and not just watch space. I was at home. I was watching it on the big TV.
It was really cool. Some of us had to work and not be at home.
So some of us get off at different times during the day. This is not my fault. You're making it my fault.
No, but I want to watch it. So I'm gonna have to go check it out somewhere.
Very fascinating. Anyway, Godspeed Artemis II. I know. Make it to the moon and back. And then tell us all the cool things. Yes, all of it. There is a potential prank.
It's yet to be decided. And you and I drove by it last night to see it in person. It is in fact physically there, but we don't understand it. Is that fair? Yeah, for sure. Where grocery outlet formerly was, where Porter's crafts had been before that.
Porter's craft. Yeah. Rest in peace.
What was there before Porter's? Do you remember? I don't know. I'm trying to remember what that building opened up as originally.
But anyway, I didn't grow up here. Regardless. I don't know. There is no grocery outlet there anymore, but there is a banner hanging on the front of the building that says Trader Joe's coming soon. There is a QR code. And when you scan the QR code, it takes you to like the Trader Joe's website or something.
I thought you said it took you to... Well, so if you do this, go to Trader Joe's jobs.
I think the whole falls. We should have done is just pulled over and scanned the code ourselves, because we are getting some second hand information. This is very true. Somebody told us that when you scan the QR code, it takes you to job applications, but it's kind of a...
Well, so here's the deal. That takes you to the Trader Joe's website. Somebody said it's a rick roll. There's several different things happening with this. East Idaho News has a story that they published that says we asked our readers to tell us about the best April Fools pranks. And here's a list of their favorites that they've seen. The Trader Joe's coming to Idaho Falls.
Hundreds of locals were fooled when the white banner appeared on the building stating that Trader Joe's coming soon. Winter 2026, scan the QR code to apply. But when you scan the QR code, you are rick rolled, which someone put together a banner and made that happen. And that's, you know, a thing. Well, someone in this building actually contacted Trader Joe's headquarters and said, Hey, is this legit? It has your logo on it?
Is this a real thing? And they quickly found out that no, there is not a plan to have one in Idaho Falls. So that was that. But what I was trying to tell you is that if you searched out Trader Joe's jobs in Idaho Falls, there was yesterday a couple of jobs that came up. But when you clicked on them, they took you to this really not good looking hiring website.
Certainly it was not higher East Idaho.com, by the way, whatever that website was. But if you do go to the careers page of Trader Joe's, which is a hard to navigate page, and you hit join our crew, it gives you a list of different states that you can choose. And so if you just search for Idaho, it only brings up the one in Boise. That's the only one in the state of Idaho.
I know it. And that's a mean prank. We talked about not doing things that are harmful and that hurt the heart. Did it? I would like Trader Joe's. I agree.
I did do a little bit of research on the building. And I found out that the building that has this banner out front, the former grocery outlet, that location, that building is like the perfect size. I know. It's barely bigger than the one in Boise. The joke around here was that it has better parking. So that's true.
So it couldn't possibly be a Trader Joe's because the parking's too easy.
Somebody said, who has April Fool's banner money in this economy?
No kidding. That's funny.
Yeah, that's a pretty elaborate joke.
Yeah. Yeah. So anyway, that did indeed happen. And to this point in time is not real.
Dang it. Fooled again.
You won't fool me twice. That's what they say. You will. You'll fool me twice. So apparently it's not, but it's a great location and the right kind of building and it's available. So somebody with some knowledge, get ahold of the folks and say, hey, we got a building.
Let's make this happen. We got demand. Let's just get it done. Let's just get it done.
I'm for it. And I got a great idea for the Joanne right behind it. What do you got? Sierra. Let's go. Get in touch with the folks at Sierra slash TJ Maxx, that group, and put that in for me. That'd be great.
It used to be called Sierra Trading Post.
That's right. They changed it. Why? I don't know.
Because maybe people were thinking that you could trade in Barter and they were like, no, actually, you just got to pay the price that's on the tag.
I don't know. It's just called Sierra. They did a rebrand. Okay. So yeah, whoever knows somebody do that too and get us a world market while you're at it.
Yeah, yeah. I like world market. I know. They have so many different snails. This is very true. Yesterday was the season premiere of one of our favorite shows.
Love on the spectrum is back.
It is back. And it's such a good show. It's a great show. It's heartwarming and sweet.
We had a moment where we started the show and then you decided that we wanted the dog to hang out with us, which I'm okay with. She's been lonely. She needs to be around. She's got a lick pad, so you put some peanut butter on that. She was doing fine until they showed dogs on TV. And then she's like, wait a minute. I got to look at these dogs. Wait a minute.
I got to protect my family or something.
I don't know what's going on. She sees a dog on the TV and she's like, I got to meet that dog. And then the dog goes away and she's like, where did that dog go? Dog's going to come back.
I know it. And so she'll stare at the TV and then the dog comes back and then she gets all excited and runs toward the TV and you go, Luna, go upstairs. So we had to stop and pause and restart and like, I don't know, five times the first episode before we finally were like, can we just watch the whole thing?
Can we just please start the show now? So we got through the first episode. We're, I don't know, cruising through the second one and I started getting sleepy.
You laid down. Yeah. I got comfortable. You put your head on my knee and you said, can I lay here? And I said, yeah. And then I said, don't fall asleep. And then I checked in and maybe five minutes later I said, are you sleeping? No, no. I wasn't then.
And then the next thing I heard was we should probably go upstairs and go to bed. And I went, that sounds nice. I'm tired.
You actually didn't think it sounded nice. You thought it was nice and snuggled.
I was. It was very cozy.
And then what happened was we went to the bed
and then we turned it on again and then forget about it. So we got to like probably watch most of the second episode again.
I saw the front part. I'm fine at the second episode, I think.
Yeah, see, I think. Anyway, the show's adorable. It's on Netflix. If you're unfamiliar, this is what season four started at the beginning. Get familiar with the show.
Get familiar with the characters. It's so amazing. It is. It's great. And it's just like dating is hard enough. It's complicated enough. And I can't imagine trying to date in a world where you just, I don't know. I don't know. Dating is hard. I can't imagine how it is for people on the spectrum.
The show kind of gives you a little bit of info on how it is.
And they have a dating coach that comes and coaches them who also has autism. It's sweet. It's a sweet little show.
Yeah. And today is Autism Awareness Day. April is Autism Awareness Month. It's just the perfect time for the show to come out and do some education on it because here's the deal. Like you watch the show, you're unfamiliar, and you're going to fall in love. And you're going to go, these are some amazing human beings. So it's a great show to kind of help you get some compassion for other people in the world who, you know, it's not as easy. Right. There are big challenges that they're facing in everyday life. And then they're trying to also find love on top of that. And
they just want somebody to love.
It's very, very good. So check it out. It's on Netflix. Season four just started. We've got an episode and kind of a second episode in. And it's just as lovely as it was when we started. It is. Now, the first one we saw was in Australia. Is that right?
Yeah. I think you're right.
Because I think it, I mean, even the hosts and stuff, the guys who are in charge of the cameras, those guys are Australian. So I think it started in Australia.
I think you're right. And then it grew into an American, you know, audience here very quickly. It's just great. So go check it out. It's a really good show. It's really good. And, you know, celebrate some Autism Awareness Month all April.
Here, here. Here, here. Agree. Okay. Thank you for agreeing. Thanks. You've seen these videos where these parents have a crying toddler.
The Jessica thing? Yes. And they just yell, Jessica. Yeah. Jessica, where are you, Jessica? If you haven't seen this, this is, this is like a super hack and it's working not just on toddlers. I saw it working on, like, I don't know, 10 maybe, 10 year old.
Really? It was having like a hard time. It was really going through like an emotional like tantrum, but was not like three or two. And it worked just as well. And then I saw it work on a man, on a grown man. You did?
Yes. This, this wife was like, I'm going to try this, because he was, he was upset about something and he was ranting and raving about it. And she just goes, Jessica, Jessica. And he goes, who's Jessica? Like he's completely derailed him. And he was, why do you keep calling Jessica? Who's Jessica? And it just, he lost his whole momentum on his aggression. So I think it might work for everybody.
Because it's just, it's a distraction, isn't it? That's all it is. Like, that's the key thing when you have toddlers or when you have babies, you're like, I got to distract you from this thing. Right. Well, look at the shiny thing over here.
Here's the thing I saw that didn't work as well. There was one woman who had a toddler that was, that was going through it. She tried to do the Jessica thing, but she then she said, where is she?
Go find her. Oh no. That's not how it works. You can't give the kid a directive. You have to give him confusion. Yeah. And that's it. Like, you just yell for Jessica. Where are you? Jess, like you actively talk to someone else. So that the kids like, what is happening?
Why aren't you paying attention to the fact? But then when she went, where is she? Go find her. The kid doesn't know who this person is because now you've just confused the kid. But then he was like, I'm not leaving. I'm here upset and started crying again. So if you're going to do it, you just commit to the bit of yelling for Jessica. Where are you? Come here, Jessica.
Because then the kid goes silent and goes,
I just wonder who are you calling in? How often it's going to work before they, they start to figure out maybe four or five times before that. Four or five? There's no Jessica. I'm going to keep crying because I know there's no Jessica.
Yeah. It's, it's a pretty creative thing though.
Apparently there was a, an expert who said it's just the element of surprise, but by shouting out any name, it doesn't have to be Jessica. Okay. You could say anything. Bluey. Well, that they know.
So I think it's also, it's a name that like, if you have a Jessica, I wonder if it doesn't work. Like what if the, what if your kid's name is Jessica? Oh yeah, right. Right. That's probably not the same. That would be tricky. A lot of Jessica's these days. Is there? That's a massive.
Oh, I don't know. I didn't know that was a question.
Like there are a lot of people naming their, their kids Jessica.
I don't know. I guess maybe as soon as the kid starts to get the idea that you're trying to distract him, just come up with a new name. I guess. Yeah. Like, Johnny Todd Todd Todd Todd. Where are you, Todd? Evan. Rebecca. Yeah. I mean, you could go through, you could do this a million times.
There's a million names. Chris, get in here. You know what? Start picking like just people that you do know. Like grandma's name.
You should try this with, even if somebody's not upset, just try it with some co-workers, if they come in to bother you. I think I might just look out in the hall and
go, Jessica, that you think I'm gonna try it. I like that idea. I'll let you know how that goes. Trying Jessica on co-workers. Maybe I'll film that. See what happens.
I did try a little bit of April Fools yesterday with our daughter because she likes, she likes a little bit of April Fools and I saw something that I thought was going to work. Yeah.
You showed it to me and I went, she's not eight, but that's, let's try it. Let's see what happens.
There's a broken screen, a broken TV screen show that you can get on YouTube.
Yeah. You just put it on your TV and it makes the TV look like it was broken. Here's the problem. What's the problem? The cracks. They made it, they shouldn't have added the cracks.
Okay. Because the screen isn't glass like that. They made it look like broken glass, but poorly.
Like if it just had the broken effect of the color, you know, twitch thing and all the, like, you know, that it'd look way better, but they added the cheesy broken glass on top of it. And I didn't get a chance to really find a good one. I'm sorry. Because you were like calling her and you're like, put that on, hurry. And so, and then she comes downstairs and you go, look mad. And I went, okay, sure thing.
I'll do that. I called her, we were in the basement. She was upstairs. I said, Hey, I need you to get down here right now. And she goes, okay, what's going on? And I said, just get down here right now. So she comes downstairs and I go, what did you do to the TV? This is where you play video games. What'd you do? She goes, what did she say?
Are you for real? Yeah, she looked at it and went, are you for real? And then she turned on the PlayStation and hit the change source button and the TV switch. And she goes, looks fine to me.
And then I said, get out of here. Go on. Yeah.
Get going and get because I'll remind you she's not eight.
Dang it. I gotta think of something better. Yeah, you do. Luckily I have a whole year.
Oh good. So a year from now, what will happen? Nothing.
Okay, got it. Because I'll forget. That's true. But it's the thought that counts. She was, yeah. The second she walked in, she was like, Yon, my parents.
Well, and then we went upstairs and you said, oh, come with me really quick. Act mad. And I went, okay, again. Well, I don't know what that means, but okay. And then you're like, well, what's the deal with that? Like leaving it all vague and she goes, what? You're like, what is the deal with that? What's up with that? Like, what?
All right, I gotta do some better planning. Yeah, a little bit. All right.
And then, and maybe let me know the whole idea because I don't know where you're going with it. And all you say is act mad. And I'm like, I don't know how to support you. I'm a terrible co-star in this play when I have no idea what the play's about.
I don't even know what the play's about. Just act mad. All right. We're just winging it. What's that about? What's what about? Thanks for being my wingman though.
I didn't even know what to do. And then I was like, I'm like transparent. Did you act mad? I have no idea because I didn't know what I was mad about. What's that about? What are we doing? You didn't even tell us about it. Vague, vague, vague.
Oh, Josh, I'll try harder next time. I probably won't. I'm just going to be real. Well, what's that about? I'll just maybe in a couple of days because... Maybe in a couple of days, what? I'll do some cool pranks. And no one will know. They won't expect it.
Like all April, fool. You never know what to expect. What's up with that?
Josh, act mad. Here we go. Act mad. What's your act mad face? Let me see.
I don't have an act mad face. When I say act mad, what's your face look like? Because I don't get mad.
Well, that's why it's never going to work. I go, what's up with that?
That's your disappointed face right there?
Let me see. I'm not even into it. I'm just disappointed. I don't even know what to say anymore. What is up with that? What is? No, that's how you do it. Disappointed. You do it like this. Oh, what's up with that? And then it's clear you're not really upset. Oh. Isn't it? What's up with that? I shut.
Pipe down. There's a startup company called Reflect Orbital.
I heard about these guys. Have you? Yes.
I don't know how I feel about this. They want to deliver on-demand sunlight when it's dark outside.
Yeah. So using giant mirrors, essentially. Right. Here's the thing. First of all, there's already a ton of stuff in our orbit. A ton. And the idea is that this would be a grid similar to, think about like the sphere in Vegas, right? They would have all of these mirrors kind of around orbiting the Earth that they then could direct. So if you were like in, we need some sunlight for this construction job at night, in this pinpoint location, they would turn one of these mirrors that would then reflect sunlight down to the Earth in that spot. That's the concept. Fascinating. We have enough stuff orbiting the Earth.
We don't need a whole grid of giant reflectors. They would send up, excuse me, thousands.
I know.
We don't need that much stuff. Thousands of satellites with giant mirrors. And then those mirrors would reflect sunlight down to Earth at night. All you have to do is open up an app, drop a pin, and sunlight will arrive at your location in 30 seconds. So anyone can get the app. It doesn't have to be.
Oh, I guarantee not anyone will have access to this. Okay. This is a worldwide thing. Okay. This is all, like, you can't You can't just throw thousands of things up in orbit.
Well, they are saying that they want to help solar farms keep producing energy after sun fat.
I get the concept. I see the benefit.
But scientists are warning that the extra light could confuse animals and disrupt our sleep. And a lot of researchers are saying that the math doesn't add up. They're saying it could take thousands of satellites just to match a fraction of daylight. Right. But Reflect Orbital, this company, has a first test satellite and they are looking to launch it later this month. So start up or not, they're still looking to get it going. Yeah. Crazy. Yeah. You can't control the sun?
They're not controlling the sun. They're controlling the light from the sun, which you can control. I don't enjoy it. Look, I get the concept. I think it's interesting. You know, I don't know. There's a reason that we have night. We should let night do its thing. Right. You know? I mean, there's entire ecosystems for sure. There's a lot going on there beyond, well, humans need to be able to see in the dark.
I don't think we do. I think we need to go to bed. Go to bed.
I like that. It's way better. Hey, you know what? Don't launch the satellite.
Go to bed. Go to bed. Go to bed. Just take a nap. Shut your eyes.
It's nighttime. Go to sleep. That's what the night time's for. Go to sleep. You'll be awake in the light tomorrow. Yeah.
When the sun is where the lights are. There's plenty of sunlight during the day. Yeah. What are you doing? Are you going to fund the startup then?
No, I am not. Okay. No. I don't think I'm funding anything, but certainly not this startup to put a whole bunch of stuff in our orbit. Thousands. I just, we don't need more space junk.
Thousands of satellites.
I like the concept. I understand. But this feels like one of those things that could be left as a hypothetical or maybe do your one test and go, you know, that's interesting. Here's the other thing. Have they figured out, like, I don't want to be an ant underneath a microscope with the sunlight directed in a point. You see? I see what you're saying. I don't want that. I don't want to be a recipient of spotlight heat that melts me. That sounds awful.
I just went to their website. Sunlight after dark. Yeah.
Flashlights.
Yeah. What are those big lights that construction workers use? Or hey, how about this? Go to bed. Just go to bed. Go to bed.
So this is an interesting thing. I want you to breathe a little sigh of relief when you hear this because I think it'll cause that. Right now, a lot of young adults are moving out of their parents' homes for the first time around the age of 23. Okay. A little sigh. Okay. A little one.
Yeah, sure. We have a 21-year-old at home, which is fine, whatever. But according to this new study, a lot of people move out for the first time around the age of 23, but they can only take about half their stuff with them when they move out. Because I'm thinking about the stuff throughout the shed and the garage and the house that is our son's. And if he were to move out into an apartment or something, he's not going to be able to take it all with him because he's not going to have anywhere to put it. No, he's got a lot of stuff. So a lot of people are leaving behind a bunch of stuff at their parents' house. So mom and dad's house is becoming a storage unit for young people's stuff.
No, thank you. That's what's happening. Yeah. It says on average, people are leaving nine boxes or large items at home with their parents after they move out. Nine boxes. Nine boxes. Nine? Yeah. Nine boxes. I've got room.
We've got space. It's already there.
It's already there.
It's already there. It's not like he's moving more stuff in.
But then also if he moves out, then there's a whole room.
I know. Have you thought about what to do with that room? Yeah, a guest room. You think? Yeah. It's pretty close to our room.
Do we want our guests sleeping that close? All the rooms are that close. It's not adjacent.
No, you're right. I don't know why I said it. We just don't have, we would have to share the bathroom. Yeah. That's not a problem either because our guests, I like our guests.
It isn't like our other bathrooms four houses away. It's literally downstairs. It's not that far away. You make it sound like they'll have to walk to the east wing. No, they won't. They'll have to walk 30 feet.
Have you thought, you really have thought about turning that into a guest room?
I just figured that's what it would be.
I thought about moving my craft room up there because sometimes I hate.
You would.
I sometimes just hate being in the basement because I like to see what's going on in the world outside.
Okay, so that's an interesting theory then. If your craft room moves upstairs, then your current craft room, which is a large room. It's a large room. I know. It's bigger than our bedroom. I know.
And I would forgo the space because the craft room is bigger than the back room. So if I did move, I'd be losing space. Right. But I would also be upstairs where there's light and I can see what's happening in the world. I feel. Yeah, I get that.
Closed in in the basement sometimes. I understand. But sometimes that's nice too. Like last night, I kind of locked myself in there and then I was just like turned on the music and I was doing some art.
Nice. Yeah.
And then I was like happy to not know what was going on in the world because I was like, I'm locked in.
Anyway. But you still would like the daylight.
I would only have a small basement window. That's just not the same. It's not the same. Yeah. But I also have large furniture down there. And I remember when you moved it down there, you said, this is not moving again.
No, it'll move one time. That's it. You get one move. There was move it in. You get move it out. That's it. And then the rest of the time you got to have somebody else do it. I don't want to. And you're going to have to help. Oh man. Because that stuff's crazy heavy. I know.
When you move it down. Down was crazy too. Yeah, gravity on your side. But I also had to stop gravity from taking full control. True. That was scary. I didn't like to watch that.
No. They're both on wheels. So there is a theory of like put some ramps up the stairs. How about that?
Yeah. That's a nice idea.
It's, you know, it's a possibility.
Would you move it with all my stuff inside? No. Absolutely not. I can't take it out, Josh.
There's so much stuff in there. But then I could also hook up a pulley system in the garage. And then I could, if I do the, if I do the pulleys enough, if I do two double pulleys, I could actually hook it up and roll it up the ramp with one rope down at the bottom by myself. Yeah. With a double pulleys. I was thinking that same thing. Yeah. Because of math.
Did you know about that? Yeah. I was, I always think about math. I know. Always thinking about math and pulley systems. Yeah.
Always. The force required changes a lot when you add pulleys.
Yeah. I know. I know.
I don't think you know. I think you just learned something.
I don't, I don't care to know.
I'm just saying that the garage is right at the top of the basement stairs. So I have a way to do a pulley system the same way I would like get a truck unstuck from mud. I could do that to pull these things up the stairs.
Well, listen, we're not moving anytime soon.
No, it's at least two years away because it's around the age of 23. So assuming he keeps up with the trends. The trends.
Mm-hmm. I don't even know if I want to move on that up there though, because I do like the space in the basement. It's a nice space down there. It's big. It's a lot of space. I'd have to get rid of some stuff, Josh. Oh, no. I have to get rid of some fabric. Sure. What?
Yeah, or just have different storage method. Or that. Ew. And then that can become a guest room, which is right next to the basement bathroom, which then becomes a nicer space for a guest.
Some more privacy. Yeah, it'd be nice. It would be nice if we ever had any guests. Oh, here we go. Am I listed as your emergency contact? Somewhere. Oh, no.
Why? I was just thinking, yesterday I was walking down the stairs and I tripped. At home? Yeah. And I thought to myself, I can't be in charge of somebody else because I can barely be in charge of myself. Oh, great. I can't be somebody's emergency contact because I am the emergency.
Okay. Built into your phone. I don't know if you have this or if you have this set up, but in your phone, there is a prepare for an emergency settings where you can have emergency sharing, which is where you can share your real time location and critical info with your emergency contacts, which you can put in. And then you also have a car crash detection built into your phone, which can help you dial 911 and notify your emergency contacts after a crash. And then there's also a few other settings in here for like safety and stuff, which is interesting. In here, in my emergency contacts, it's you and my parents.
Where do you go to find that?
So up at the top in your search bar there that you just had. Nope. Nope. Nope. No. There you go. See where it says search type emerge and it'll come up with your murder that button. This one. Yep.
It's called safety. That's right. Correct. And then down to the bottom hit your info right there. Bottom right. Yes. Indeed.
And what does it say under emergency contacts? You and the kids. Look at that. I don't have the kids on there because I set it up so long ago. The kids probably didn't have phones.
Well, I have you as number one and Beck is number two, but I should probably switch that order because
I mean, he won't answer the phone. He's not going to answer the phone. So I need to move Emory up or back down. No, I just because he doesn't answer the phone. Yeah, he doesn't answer the phone. That's all. I get it. Hmm. Yeah. So I'm in there. That's nice. You got me in there. Yeah. You're number one. Yeah. You're number one.
You're forever and always be my emergency contact. Great. You take care of things.
I know this is about you. I just don't have a water emergency. Why? I don't swim good. And I don't need that phone call. Help. I'm in the water. Help me. Like you call the wrong emergency contact. I'm not the swimmer.
Bring a floatation device. Yeah.
I am not. What's the guy's name from Baywatch? David Hasselhoff. Yeah. I'm not him. I can run in slow mo. But once I hit the water's edge, it's going to be a tough go.
I'm just saying for you, maybe you might want to reconsider having me as your emergency contact because I don't know if I can, I don't know if I can save you. Yeah.
Can you lift me up off the floor if I fall down?
We tried once, remember? Yeah, the answer is no.
It's a pretty short answer. It's no.
There was a, there was a TikTok challenge that said lift your spouse off the floor and you had to dead weight. Right. And I tried very hard to even just lift you onto the couch. I tried. I absolutely tried. It felt like you didn't. Bro, I was fighting for my life. I was sweating. It was huffing and puffing. It was.
You needed to tap into some of that, that mom strength. The stuff where you could lift a car off of a baby. You needed to get at some of that.
That's adrenaline. I didn't have any adrenaline. I knew it wasn't a dire situation. Okay. So I was just acting normally.
So essentially you're just going to call somebody is what's going to happen.
No, I'll do everything in my power to try.
But, but like if I fell down and I was laying there, you'd be like, I got to call somebody.
I mean, I would call somebody while I was trying to help. I'd be like, I need some help, but I'm working. I'm working. I'm sweating. I'm doing my best.
So yes, you are my emergency contact. So you better start lifting bags.
I know. I got to go. I got to go do some strength training. I got to go. Emergency contact doesn't always necessarily mean you got to lift the person.
I'm just saying like as, as we get older, I might become a fall risk and you're going to have to pick me up. I just don't know what it'll be like. I don't know what it'll be like. It's a long time from now. It is a long time. So you better, you got time to train. Okay. Start lifting heavy.
No, no, you don't need.
You don't need Rocky. You're not going to go fight. You just need to lift heavy.
No, I'm training. That's the training music.
But you're also not training. You're just moving your arms up and down like you're in a victorious moment.
That's because what I don't have anything to train with right now. This is my like, you're not even lifting weights.
You're like, yeah, I'm the champ. Like you're just putting your hands up like I won the match. It's practice. For when you win the match.
No, it's practice for when I'm lifting weights.
Your form's way bad. Way bad form.
Rude. I'm not lifting you.
No, I know. That's why we're going to have to call for help. We already settled that. You're not lifting me. Got it.
I'll keep trying, Josh. I'm working. I was thinking about this the other day. We used to take the kids on dates separately. So you would take Emory and I would take back and then you would take back and I would take Emory and we would go on.
Yeah, we'd do whatever some kind of activity in a dinner and whatever.
It seems like Emory and I spend a lot of time together and I'm not complaining about that because it's lovely. But I don't spend a lot of time solo time at least with our son. And so I was thinking about this the other day going, you know, he and I really like sushi. Every kind of like sushi, but the rest of you, like you.
I found one that I like at the one sushi place that I was like, yeah, this I would order. I really enjoyed it. It was a vegetarian role that I really liked. That was in Utah, that place. Was it? I like that.
I need to figure out what that was called. I don't like the crab or the imitation crab, whatever. I don't care for it.
Besides a point, we need to bring back our dates with our kids. It's been a hot minute since we've done that. True. You need to take Emory on a date. I need to take back on a date. Okay. Beck should pay when we go on a date. I don't think that's how it works. He's got a lot of money.
He doesn't have the same bills as me.
Yeah, I'm paying for most of his bills. Yeah. Anyway, that's all. I was just thinking we need to date our kids again.
Right. Well, it was fun because it was cool to be like, all right, I got this thing planned. We got an activity. We got a nice dinner. And then we went, Emory and I went and did a photo booth thing. It was fun. And so we had a little strip of photos that we got to keep, which was cool.
Time out. I had just thought of the best idea that you guys can do. Okay. You guys should go get pedicures.
On our feet? Yep. They're going to freak out about my black toenail that I have.
Oh, you do have black toenail. I mean, they're not going to freak out. You might have to wait. But here's the thing. She loves getting pedicures. I think you would enjoy it. I don't enjoy it. So you go with her.
I wouldn't mind.
No, you would like it. Somebody rubbing my feet. It's very, very nice.
What I don't like is the fish thing. I don't want to go where they have the fish bite on your feet.
I've never been anywhere where they've had the fish. Yeah. I'm not into the fish. Well, luckily for you, we don't have that.
So I bet somewhere has that, but I don't like it.
Okay. Okay. I think you're going to be safe.
We went, was it the aquarium in Utah where they had the fish? No, it's the aquarium here. And you can put your hands in there. Yeah. I don't like it. I like it. I did. Freaks me out.
I would love them to do that on my feet. I wouldn't mind that at all. Really? Yep. I don't think so. I don't mind it.
I don't want little fish going on my feet. I don't like it. They eat your dead skin. It's gross. I don't like it.
You can have all my dead skin. No way. Take it. I like it. Anyway, that's just a good idea for you guys. Here's the thing. I don't mind a pedicure and it's nice. You just don't know how to relax.
You don't know how to relax. Yeah. And it's hard. My niece does nails.
She is a, I don't know the official term. Nail tech. Thank you, Josh. And she says when people don't relax, it's really hard on the nail tech because they're like struggling to get the things done. And I realize that and I feel like I'm relaxed. But then they go, relax.
And I go, I thought it was. I'm sorry. I don't know how to relax. And then they shake my foot and I go, I don't know how to help. I'm in no control of my body. Relax.
I can't. You can. You just need to just quit trying to control everything.
I'm not. And relax. That's the thing though, Josh, because I do feel like I settled in and I'm like, all right, let's do this. I feel like I've settled in and I'm relaxed. And then they say, relax. And I go, I thought I was. Relax more. Point is you go pedicures with Emory.
After a year or so when I don't have that black toenail.
It hurts.
It hurt that it doesn't hurt now, but boy did it hurt for, I mean, two weeks probably.
Oh, I know. I heard about it.
Yeah. Every day. Bad toe.
My toenails gonna fall off. My toenails gonna fall off. But still, it will.
And I'm not looking forward to it.
I think there's a new nail growing underneath it though. I know. So the black one has to fall off, but not before the new one is in place.
It's probably going to happen when I'm hiking in the mountains.
It's probably going to happen at night when you're asleep. And then I'm going to wake up and find a gross black toenail on the bed. Gross. You want to talk about gross.
I will save it for you. If it happens when I'm hiking, I know you will bring it home for you. I'll put it in a little bag. You're the worst with like a pine cone or something. You can have two treats. Here's a pine cone. Oh, and my black toenail.
You're the worst. What's wrong with you?
Nothing wrong with me except I got this black toenail. Everything else is fine. I just don't know how it could have happened so quickly and it's so painfully. I didn't even stub it. I just, it got a whole thing and it scares me. It was painful and I thought it was going to rip off. I know.
You were in hyperactive mode when it happened. It's crazy. I'm sorry. I wasn't more sympathetic. You were kind of pacing around the house. It's going to fall off. That hurts so bad. I know my toenail is going to fall off. It's black. I can see it turning black already. Yeah. I was like, you're going to be fine. It's fine.
I thought I was going to lose the whole toe. I think I walked away. No, really? You're my emergency contact. All right. I didn't know this was a thing and I don't know why I didn't know this was a thing, but also I kind of am glad I now know it's a thing. It's something I might be into.
Okay. Last weekend was the 2026 International Pizza Expo in Las Vegas. That sounds nice. Yeah. Of course it's a thing. Everything is a thing. Everything has a convention. Everything has a convention, including pizza. It's the Sauce and Dough Trade Show.
That was so cool. It was the 42nd edition of the Expo, which has been going on for a minute. They had a keynote speech by chef.
This guy is named Wiley de Frenze. He's a Michelin-starred chef of Stretch Pizza in New York City. They had instructional sessions on the business and culinary sides of the restaurant and the annual International Pizza Challenge and World Pizza Games. Dude, I want to go pizza games. That's right. Here is a photo of three pizza guys piled up spinning pizzas in a tripod. Pizza games. Pizza games.
I want to play some pizza games.
Dough Tossin or whatever they call it. Where is this at? Vegas. Oh, dang it. Yeah. Last weekend. Dang it. Obviously the commercial chains were present, but what was really going on is there's a large amount of people in the pizza industry that are like smaller independent pizzerias. So there's a lot of these guys that are there trying to find new ways to make their business successful. So a lot of networking, a lot of new technology, AI having a big day in the pizza industry for ordering. It seems like a lot of people want to go to an AI answering service for taking orders. Oh, interesting. I order online. I order in an app when I want pizza. And I earn rewards because I'm a sucker for rewards.
Do you remember when your parents used to say, hey, will you call and order a pizza?
And you have to go. And I go, what was it? What was everybody want? Yeah.
What am I supposed to say? And then I would have to write down and I would say, okay, can I get, and I would write down, can I get?
Really? You might write down all of it.
Yeah. I got nervous about ordering pizza.
I just would write down a bullet list of what I'm ordering.
My mom would say, find out what the specials are. Do you have any coupons? What are your specials? Yeah. And then they tell me and I go, I'm just going to order what I'm going to order. Cause it's what my mom told me to order.
If you want all that information, mom, you call. Yeah. Yeah. Cause then you're going to have to repeat it and go, what coupon do we want to use while the person's on the phone? Yeah. Yeah.
That's crazy. Anyway, so AI's got a big, a big showing for the pizza industry trend report. And the other thing that's happening is protein meat is having a big day in the pizza industry because a lot of people are trying to up their protein intake.
I just read something that said that if you're on a date, this must be like a younger generation thing, but it said if you're on a date and you go to get pizza and your date who is a man orders the all meat pizza, that's a big red flag. For what? Because that means that you don't support vegetarians and you
don't support the earth and you don't support animals. And I kind of scoffed at it. No way. I think you can still support vegetarians without also being one.
Consumer trends in the pizza sector are as follows. Pizza today reports noted demand for meat toppings has increased due to protein craze. Chorizo and brisket are new toppings.
Chorizo is so good. Yeah. But you can't look at the ingredients. They are new toppings that pizzeria owners are likely to try on pies this year. One person said meat has made a huge comeback. Interesting. Yeah. So whatever.
Hot honey is also gaining ground as a topping along with other spicy additions like calabrian chilies, if I'm saying that right. It's a spicy sweet condiment dominance that continues to surge with widespread adoption across all segments of pizza. Interesting.
Yep. And it looks like a lot of the restaurants have started to offer multiple types of pizza to satisfy a growing range of customer demands. Everything from Detroit style to grandma pizza to Sicilian. Grandma pizza.
They're offering different stuff. I don't know what grandma pizza is. Let's look it up. What is it?
I don't know, Josh. Grandma pizza. Oh, it's like baked in a dish, like a casserole style dish and cut into squares. It's thin square pan baked pizza with a crispy crust. It looks great. I like it. I do like that.
I kind of like the pizza convention.
I also like the idea of pizza game. Pizza games. For sure. Dude, grandma pizza looks good. I bet you'd be really good at that. I would be really good on a cookie sheet.
You'd be really good at tossing pizza. I did that.
I worked at a pizza place in high school. I know. And it was, I made it, we had to take our orders, because I was a delivery guy. And so we would have to take the delivery order and make the pizza that we were delivering and deliver it. So we had to do our whole, whole own thing on the delivery crew because it was also a restaurant. And so if you were working the restaurant, they had a line cooks that were cooking the pizza for the restaurant. But if we took a delivery order, we had to make it and deliver it. Crazy. But then you know that you're delivering the right kind of product. That's true. Because you took the order, you made it, you delivered it.
So you were on that time limit where you had to deliver.
I don't think we were like a 30 minutes or less or anything like that. And you know, I mean, I probably, I don't know, 30 or 40 deliveries while I worked there.
A shift? No. Oh, it was like, geez.
No, it was a brand new pizza place. It's long gone. Oh. It's now a Mexican restaurant, which is very good. But it's always weird when I go in there because I used to work in there as a pizza place and I go, this is interesting. But this was late nineties. So it was just different. Were you good at twirling your dough?
It was fine.
I was okay. Okay. I mean, you know, I wasn't anything, I wasn't like, you know, people weren't like lining up to watch me do it. Like I was just, it was just to make the dough wide. And then I had this little roller thing with little forked teeth on it. And you'd go, and then you'd sauce
it up and let's go make a pizza. I think it's cute that we both worked at pizza places in our high school days. Did you make the pizzas? Yeah. Frozen dough. That's not the same. I get it, Josh. It's fine. It's not the same. I didn't, it wasn't my choice.
But yes, we did both work at pizza places.
We should be at the pizza convention next year.
Would you rather this or that?
Would you rather accidentally swallow an eggshell or chew on foil from a chocolate egg? Eggshell. Eggshell. Same. I'll tell you why. Do you want to know why?
It's organic. It's not foil.
All of that makes total sense for sure. That's why? I once in high school went to a drama competition. And we got to go burritos and mine had foil on it. And I accidentally ate a piece of foil, but I was sitting next to a boy that I liked. And I didn't want to spit out the foil in front of him. And so I swallowed it. Okay.
And it made my tummy real upset. Yeah. So we don't. Two lessons learned here. Yeah? Don't eat foil. Second thing, don't do anything to impress a boy. Got it. So yeah, I'm going to swallow an Easter egg shell. Because it's, yeah.
It's organic. Yeah. I don't want to swallow the foil. I don't like chewing on foil. That's not a fun time. No. Like that sounds awful. And I know like they used to do like the metal fillings and stuff and it would make your teeth go, like that.
Because I used to have metal fillings. All of mine have been replaced, but.
But it made that noise when you bit, didn't it? It went, like licking a nine volt battery. Same kind of feeling. No. No, thank you. Hot. Like that.
Well, cool. That was an easy one. That is easy. And we got a fun story. Yep.
Amazing. Would you rather this or that? So it's becoming clearer to me that I have to get a new debit card.
They send you one in the mail. I don't know if they do. They do. I promise you. They do.
Well, here's the problem. Ever since they got away from, went away from the raise number thing, which I'm fine with. I don't care. The ink wears off and I can never read the stuff. So I don't know what my expiration date is, but the month is November. So there's a, there's a two and then another number. You see it? Yeah.
It's hard to tell if it's a five or a six or an eight. If it's a year, you're right.
But I'm getting emails now telling me that the card that I have on file for a couple of auto pays is getting close to expiring. Okay.
So that would lead me to believe it's a six. Yeah.
But I don't think it is. But also the month is November. So why are they telling me now that it's nearing expo, you don't have the same last four numbers.
No, I don't. Ours is different, but my expiration date, I think, because we don't even have the same expiration date. I think my expiration date is June of this year. So maybe it's your car.
But why does it have my last four when they're sending me the emails? I don't know. Interesting. It doesn't make any sense. But anyway, we've got a couple of things
we're going to have to look at. Richard card on the radio. I'll tell you where.
Yeah. Okay. Sure thing. Let me, let me do that. But I'm, I'm frustrated by this point in time where it's again, now I have to deal with updating all the, here we go. I gotta go in and log in all these services just to update stuff.
Yeah. Take my word for it. They'll send you a new card in the mail. I promise. Okay. I don't think they do.
I don't think they do. They do because they haven't in the past. They have. I don't think they, not for a long time.
No, they, they do. I don't think they have. Not that I've ever seen. It's probably because I'm the one that opens the mail and says, oh, hey, here's your new card.
And then I think you went to the bank. No, I think I know, and I've had to go in and get a new one. No. And then because I can't read it and I go in and then they print me a new one there. That's why. And then they delay mailing me one.
That's the only reason you've gone into the bank to get yours because the last time your card number was so unreadable that you really had to go in and say, I can't read this anymore. Right. And then it was like they were putting chips in all the cards.
Right. So we had to go get a new one. So you had to go get a new one. So the only reason you've ever had to go in and get a new one is because out of necessity you've needed to go into the bank.
That's why they don't mail me one.
Normally they mail them. Mine gets mailed every time. I don't think they do.
Well, they don't, they don't mail mine because I go in and get one. So now I have to go in and get one, I guess, or something. I don't know what's happening. What am I supposed to do?
They'll just mail it. Who will just wait the bank?
I don't want to wait. I can't read it now.
Well, if you want a new one now, then go get one. But it's not necessary because when your time is expired, they'll mail you one.
You sure about that? Positive. You sure about that? I can't be more sure. How sure about it are you?
100%. They're going to mail it. Yes. For sure? Positive.
Ah-ha. Skeptical. They haven't mailed it before. To me. Are they going to give me some info when they're going to mail it?
Nope. You just, it just shows up before your expiration date and you'll have it. No, no. And then you go, great, my new card is here. You sure about that? As expected. Yep. I don't know. And then they'll give you a number to reset it, activate it, whatever. And you call that little number? Done. Sure.
Shred the old one, put your new one in your file, put your new one in your wallet. I'll believe it. I'll believe it when I see it. Okay. Mightnest is coming in June, so I'll show you when it arrives and I'll say, hey look, this is what happens. It's in this fancy envelope in the mailbox. Blue, watch. I can open it with my finger. You don't have to be rude.
I know how mail works. I just haven't ever received my card in the mail.
You have just not recently. For years. The last couple of times, no, because you've had to go in, but you have gotten your card in the mail before. Oh my.
That's it for today's show. Are you exhausted?
Yeah, just that conversation was exhausting. Why? Because of you. Because of me. Got it. Have a great Thursday. We'll see you back tomorrow, Friday morning. Oh, you guys. We're almost there. Almost. Hang in there. Easter's right around the corner. Woohoo. All right. See you tomorrow.
