I gotta cook. I know. Notary public day. Thanks, notaries Yeah. For making sure that I can I don't need you very often, but when I do Yeah?
You're always there. Yeah. If I was a business, I would need a notary more often, probably. You're not a business. I'm not a business.
I'm a human being. Let's see. Cashback day, bittersweet chocolate with almonds day. Who likes cashback day? Hug a bear day.
Hug a bear? Yeah. Hug a bear. I don't think this is the wise I did. Not a live one.
Teddy bear. Okay. Cashback day. Let's see. Special day when a lot of retailers office offer generous cashback deals on a bunch of different products.
I don't know anything about this. Started in 2019, has to do with the, site RetailMeNot. Mhmm. Their goal was to offer a day of cashback deals from different retailers, and today is that day. I just want some cash.
If somebody wants to cash back me, I'll I'll accept. Cash back me. Cash back me. Yep. Cash me back.
How about that? How about that? Nice. Yeah. Hey.
It's Thursday. Just after 6 o'clock. I'm Josh. I'm Chantel. Good morning.
What is my least favorite Halloween candy? Airheads? Well, that's just worst candy in general. Almond Joy. No.
I don't mind Almond Joy. They're okay. I just won't they're not my first choice. Uh-huh. You know it's those peanut butter cups.
Oh, yes. Okay. I don't like it. Thinking properly. Yeah.
Yes. You you you know it's that. I I don't like the sweaty peanut butter in those things. Oh, good news. What?
Hershey's has launched a build your own Reese's peanut butter cup kit. Oh. No. Yeah. Why?
What can you build? A large 9 ounce chocolate shell, 10 ounce jar of Reese's peanut butter, and then you decide how much peanut butter filling you want inside the cup. It costs you $23, and you can buy it on the Hershey's store. Hey. Maybe that way you might like it because then the peanut butter won't be so sweaty.
Well, look. I'm I'm it's funny to go to the Hershey's website and have to accept cookies. That's funny. They they should have made a better joke out of that. But, anyway, so, yeah, the peanut butter cup deconstructed, they call it.
It's a large very large kit. I mean, it holds a jar of peanut butter inside a chocolate shell. Right? Are you looking at this thing? Yeah.
Yeah. It's huge. Well, I'm not there yet. I don't know where to go. But it holds the whole job.
Ew. Ugh. I know. That's too much peanut butter. I'm not a big peanut butter fan.
That's too much peanut butter. And it looks like it's already sold out, which I'm not surprised. It's sold out in record time. Imagine, because they made 6. But Reese's deconstructed peanut butter cup kit to build your own.
It's a chocolate bowl of peanut butter. Do they not have a they don't have a top for it either? Oh, no. It comes with a top. They're just showing you what the peanut butter inside looks like, but it does have a top.
There's a chocolate lid. I need a size comparison. Like, that thing looks huge, but I need it next to a banana so that I can see what the actual size ratio is. Uh-huh. Mhmm.
Well, I told you it's 9 ounces, so it's pretty decent. The Hershey store says that fans have an overwhelming interest. You think? The kit includes the 9 ounce chocolate shell and 10 ounces of peanut butter. So you can really stuff it with that extra ounce.
That's, ugh, that makes me kinda sick. That's too much. That's why the little ones are so good because they're little. Are you talking about the little tiny ones, or are you talking about the regular size? The regular.
The mini ones. Not the snack size. The mini ones. Right? They're just regular size.
You're talking regular size Reese's cups. Yes. And then you have the little ones that are in the little foil. Correct. I don't I don't like any of them.
I know. We all know. You've told us. So not a good gift idea for Josh Tielor. The Well, you can't, anyway, they're sold out.
Kit. Yeah. But there's been an overwhelming interest, so they might be back. Okay. They'll probably be back.
I'm gonna keep my eye on it, Josh, and then I'll get it for you. No. I don't want it. How much was it? $30?
$23. Okay. I'm not gonna buy it. Shipping. So, yeah, $30.
I was gonna buy it as a gag, but that's too much. For a gag? Yeah. Yeah. It'd make me gag.
Here's some good news to get you going. A couple of weeks ago, there was the International Fresh Produce Association who held a big event. It's called the Global Produce and Floral Show, and it happens in Atlanta, Georgia. And when the show was over, the, International Fresh Produce Association had left over £225,000 of fruits and vegetables, which they then donated to food banks and shelters, which is the best news. That is the best news because they don't often get fresh produce.
Yeah. They don't, and they just got a surplus of it. Not only did they donate that, but they were also able to donate over £85100 of flowers to nursing homes, charities supporting single mothers, and they delivered them to some, different girl scout troops around the area and some other groups as well. Over the past 20 years, more than £5,000,000 of produce have been given to food banks in the cities that have hosted this show. And each year, the show closes, volunteers get everything, into the hands of those who need it most, and I think that's a great use of produce.
Get it in the hands of people that need to eat it. That's the best use of produce. Put it where people can consume it. This year was extra special because some of the food was distributed to the Augusta Food Bank, which suffered damage during the recent hurricanes. Mhmm.
So that's pretty cool. That's a big deal. 225,000 pounds of surplus fruits and vegetables donated to food banks and £85100 of flowers. I didn't know they weighed flowers by the pound. I didn't either.
But I they they apparently do. Job. So That's a that's a fantastic donation. I think that's pretty great. And they also I like that they had what they called a surplus of fruits and vegetables.
Like, it's a we didn't just have some. We had So much. We had a surplus. I like it. It's good news to get you going.
Lois White is a woman in Kansas. K. She is 95 years old. She loves to play pickleball. Oh, are you Lois White?
She is a self proclaimed pickleball addict. No way. Self proclaimed. She can't get enough? She loves it so much, and everybody says, Lois, how are you gonna slow down?
And she said, why would I wanna slow down? Keep moving. Pick a ball. Pick a ball. Pick a ball.
Pick a ball. Pick a ball. Pick a ball. That's what that's Lois. That's all she does.
Like, when are you gonna slow down? She's like, pickleball. Like, a real pickleball addict. That was a little frightening. Was it?
Yeah. I don't want you to be a pickleball addict. My impression of Lois. Oh, we got it. We all got it.
It's not me. I was just channeling my my inner Lois. I'm just saying I don't want you to become a pickleball addict because if that's how your mommy is Pickleball. It's still Pickleball. She says she rarely watches TV.
She's up and moving, and pickleball is the perfect sport for her because she can get up and go. She doesn't have a partner. She just finds people along the way. I really like pickleball too. Well, you and Lois.
There when we were in Utah, we were in Utah recently a couple weeks ago. Well, last month been months. It's been It's been, like, 2 it was August. It was in August. A couple of days.
Okay. Yeah. Couple of days. It's a blur. It was August.
We went to a pickleball court, and we played pickleball. And we had there were there there were 8 of us. 2468. Yeah. But there was a pair, a man and a woman who were intense.
Yeah. They were I don't know what they had going on. They were they were like training. Yes. They were like.
Maybe it was Lois. I don't know. I think I don't think that was Lois. I think that was a lady who, takes her game seriously, but I don't think she was Lois level addict. I bet Lois takes her games.
Lois probably takes her games seriously. No. I know she does. But that lady was like, I'm in hardcore training. Like, she was prepping for tournaments.
Yes. She was. Not like, I do it to keep my body fit and moving, keep my blood flowing. Like, I feel like Lois is that kind of lady. I wonder what Lois like, what is her gear?
Does she have, like, a fancy paddle? Yes. She does. Have a case for it? Yes.
She does. And she only will use a certain wiffle ball brand? Mhmm. Pickleball. Hey, Lois.
What do you wanna do today? Pickleball. Woah. She hasn't played for a couple of hours. She's like, itching.
Yeah. Gotta get my fix. She dreams about pickleball. She got her arm just constantly forehand, backhand, smacking the microphone. Step.
Yeah. Don't let it get in the kitchen. Yeah. Pickleball. Pickleball.
Pickleball. Pickleball. Pickleball. Pickleball. Pickleball.
Pickleball. Pickleball. Pickleball. Pickleball. Pickleball.
Pickleball. Pickleball. Pickleball. Pickleball. Which is one of those.
I would end up with, it was just frosted flakes or Kellogg's Frosted flakes was your your healthy cereal? Sure. But but even if we just had, what were the regular flakes called? Just corn flakes. Corn flakes.
Yeah. If we just ended up with those, Dump a bunch of sugar in there? Yeah. Yeah. And then I'd end up with too much, and then I'd get that, like, that jelly Yep.
Sugar milk. Yeah. And it didn't dissolve all the way? No. And it and it was There was, like, big clump of it at the bottom?
Yeah. And sometimes it was like, I could stomach through that. Other times, it was like, this is too much sugar in the bottom of this bowl. I gotta rinse this out. I'm not drinking that.
It's too much that sludge. That's sugar sludge. Yep. So that was pretty much where it ended for me. Yeah.
It was the if we had healthy cereal, it was regular old cornflakes. Yeah. Because every so often, my mom would get a, we gotta stop buying this sugary cereal. Let's buy some healthy. And she would buy this cereal called raisin nut brand.
Ugh. I was thinking about this the other day. No. Raisin nut brand is so good? No.
It's so good. Milk raisins? Come on. No. It's not milk raisins.
You're gonna have milk raisins. There's raisins in it floating around in your milk. Your milk raisins are covered in nuts. No. Yes.
They are. No way. Yeah. Wait. Since when?
Since always. Raisin bran? Yes. No. They're just wet milk raisins.
It's not raisin bran. It's raisin nut bran. Oh, you added a word. I looked to see if they were still Viking those because I haven't seen this at the store in a long time. Of course not.
They are. No way. Yeah. Way. Why are you harshing on my raisin?
Because I don't like raisins. Yeah. But you might if it's covered in I actually don't know what it's covered in. There was, like, a coating around the raisin. I've never had this cereal in my life.
So good. Now raisin bran, I've had, and it's it's cornflakes with milk raisins. Everyone's had raisin bran. Everyone. Yeah.
And everyone knows when I say milk raisin, they know what I'm talking about. But raisin nut bran? Yeah. I've never I've never had raisin nut bran. I'm looking at it right now.
I don't I've never seen this in my life. What do you think that what's around the outside of that raisin? I don't I don't know what it was. No. But it's good.
Like bread. It looks like it has almonds in it, and it looks like they have some sort of breading around the raisins. I feel like It just says covered raisins on the box. I don't know what it's covered with, but I liked it. Something to help them not be so milk raisin.
We also liked it? Yes. My mom would also buy honey punches of oats sometimes. Did you ever eat that? Sweet covered raisins is all it says.
And it was good. Sweet covered. Lends me to believe it might be some sort of yogurt. Also not great. Maybe.
But anyway, what what other cereal did you move on to? Sorry. Honey bunches of oats. Uh-huh. Did you ever have that?
No. No. I've never had that. It is good. We would, sometimes spend the night over at my cousin's place.
Yeah. And they didn't ever have sugar cereals, and they'd be like, you want some cereal? That's where I kinda felt, fell in love a little bit with Honey Nut Cheerios Oh. Because those were those are tasty. I I like those.
We had those. But that's about the sweetest cereal they had. And meanwhile, we were, Fruity Pebbles, Cap'n Crunch. Oh, yeah. We never had Apple Jacks.
Apple Jacks seemed like rich people cereal for some reason. That's funny. We never bought Captain Crunch because my mom thought that was too unhealthy. Meanwhile, we're gorging ourself on fruit Froot Loops. Sure.
Captain Crunch is just the worst one. It it probably was, and it also rips up your mouth. They're all the same. Just destroys. But then they made so many different kinds.
They had Cap'n Crunch, Cap'n Crunch berries, peanut butter Cap'n Crunch. There were so many different Cap'n Crunches. There's a lot of Cap'n Crunches now. How many varieties do you think there are? Oh, well, let's find out.
Let's check that out. Varieties. What a good word. Varieties of and it came up with potatoes. Captain Crunch.
I think it's Cap'n. Cap'n. Cap'n Crunch. Okay. There are many varieties.
This is what the Internet said. The original, crunch berries, peanut butter crunch, oops all berries, cotton candy crunch, chocolatey crunch chocolate, caramel crunch, coated grilled cheese cap'n crunch, crunch berry donuts, crunch coated chicken fingers, and oops all berries cake. Those all sound horrible. I like where it got down into this one. Crunch coated chicken fingers, which by the way is just something you can do with Cap'n Crunch.
You can use it as breading on chicken fingers. Yeah. And Crunch Berries Donuts is donuts with frosting and Crunch Berries crumbled on top. And a coated grilled cheese. Yes.
After you cook it, you just dip it in, like, a egg wash, slap some cap'n crunch on there, give it another couple of minutes in the pan. Diabetes. Diabetes. Yesterday was hair day, meaning I got a cut and a color Uh-huh. All of my hair.
So I'm feeling real fresh. You were you were out for a while. What do you mean? Like, when I go to the barber, it's like a at most a 45 minute long deal, and I get my beard done. I get my head shaved.
I get the hot towel thing. I do the head massage. I get pampered in about 45 minutes. Okay. What took 2 and a half hours?
It did not take 2 and a half hours. It took an hour and 45 minutes. I started at 5. I left at 6:45. It felt like 2 and a half hours.
An hour and 45 minutes. Are you sure? Positive. 100%. Check that text when I signed off my home.
That's what I'm doing. It was 6:45. Felt like 2 and a half hours. And, look, I know you and your hairdresser are pals. So I imagine you probably spent 45 extra minutes chitchat to make it 2 and a half hours.
Chitchat while she's doing the business. She she has to she has to mix the color. Uh-huh. And then once she gets the color in, that takes time because she's gotta Sure. Sure.
Move hair pieces Sure. Get all those roots in there, and then it has to sit for 30 minutes. So then I'm just sitting for 30 minutes, and then she has to wash it all out, and that takes time. And then she has to blow dry it and then cut it, and then she has to these are enough. It goes on and on.
No. And then she curls it. Yeah. Okay. So It takes time, Josh.
Yeah. Oh, yeah. It takes time to look this beautiful. Alright. Okay.
And and it looks great. I'm not I'm not complaining. But you're right. It was, you you arrived there a little before 5 That was because I had to go look at the at the other message you had sent, and then you, said I'm on my way home at 6:50. So it was roughly an hour and 45 minutes, but Yeah.
I think I just missed you. Yeah. I didn't get enough time in the morning. That's nice. And I don't Where are you?
You've been brown nose all week. It gets dark at, like Yes. 3. So I I don't even know what time it is, and then I'm like, man, she's been gone all night. Only an hour and 45 minutes.
It's 2 and a half hours. Now my hairdresser, Kim, is amazing, and I love her, but she is a chatter. Right. That's I assumed an extra 45 minutes of talking. So sometimes she'll be she'll cut, and then she'll, like, wave her scissors around while she's talking because she's a very animated woman.
Yeah. And so it takes a minute, and then she'll get back into the business. And then next conversation, she's like, oh, and this. And she's talking with stuff in her hands. Sometimes she waves she waves her scissors around, and it's like, oh.
I know. Yeah. Don't get in the in the scissor zone. Implicitly. Well, very good.
You you would need to. Somebody who, who who lives their life like that. She's the best. No. Well, congratulations on your new hair.
Yeah. It looks great. No more grays for this old gal. How long until the grays grow back? Never.
No. That's not true. How long does it take? Do they grow? Oh, it takes about oh, let's see.
I think I go every 6 weeks. So they start to show up about that 5 week mark, and then I go, Okay. Let it go. Now I'm Let it go. Right?
This every time. I am not ready yet because I still I I can't not be bald. I know. So, you know, just let it go. I just still wanna keep the the far south.
A lot of gray in my in my goatee here. I like it. Yeah. I know. What if I was just coloring it all the time?
You can. Well but, no, I won't because it looks ridiculous. Just do whatever you wanna do to feel good about yourself. That's what I'm saying. Just be natural.
I like the gray in your beard. Yeah. I like it a lot. Well, I don't mind the gray in your hair. Oh, nice.
Yeah. Let it go. I can't. I'm also just trying to save some money. Not that I don't like your hairdresser.
I'm just trying to save some cash. It is pretty pricey, and it takes a lot of time. And 2 and a half hours by my watch. No. It's also good therapy.
She is also, like Well, good. Slash therapist. The hairdresser slash therapist. I actually had real therapy yesterday, and then I went to my Oh, you got a double dose. My hair a pist.
And, I see. I did get a double dose of therapy, and I was like Good for you. Feels good. Alright. Emery has had a math teacher who has been absent.
She's dealing with some personal issues, and so she's had a substitute in her math class. Her substitute is not great about teaching her the things she needs to know for the test that she's going to have in math today. Oh, I didn't know she had a test today. Yes. Awesome.
Luckily for us, one of our the friends is a math teacher. Yeah. So we called in some lifelines and said, please help. Yeah. And she came in for the win.
Yeah. Really big too. And and, let's be clear. Our daughter is, like, really good at math. She doesn't want to admit it, and she may not enjoy it as much as some of the other classes, but she's she's smart when it comes to math, which is which is really good.
And so watching our friend kind of help tutor her and get her through a couple of these, problems on her study guide yesterday, I was like, dude, they are speaking a different language right now. And and that makes me just feel inferior, which is great. I'm fine with that. I don't need to know a lot of this. Like, I've I've found my comfortable math zone in my adulthood.
I don't know that I need to know a lot of what she's learning, but it was fascinating. And to watch how she taught it and to watch, those 2 kind of interact was really cool. And, and our daughter really getting those concepts and just locked in on, exactly what she was saying and how to how to solve the problems and what all the different stuff means, and it was really cool. It was very cool. Well, I wasn't there when you took her to get the help she needed.
But later, when I got home and talked to Emery about it, she said, oh, she wants me to send you pictures of what I'm doing, and then so I became the middle person for Yeah. You did. Extra assistance. I was not home at the time to help. We were out and about in the city.
Out and about in the city. City. And Yeah. So you were more on this. Yeah.
Text from Emery with her picture, and then I would send it to our friend, and her friend would say, oh, so close. Try this. And And then send that to Emery. Yep. Yeah.
Exactly. Fun, actually, being the middle person. Like, I have no idea what any of this is. Wild. I'm looking at it going, domain and range?
Yeah. Graphing and all of these Your sandwich inequalities will always be less than? F of x. What what? What are you talking about?
I my math comfort zone is not this. That's what I said. I found my comfort zone, and I went, I can deal with time. I can handle counting to 60, you know, 24 times. I can do that really easy.
I can do things in 15 minute windows. Sure. That's all good. I deal with time. I don't have to do a lot with much more than that.
Yeah. But I'm so it was so cool just because she gets it, and that was really fun. So happy that we have a friend that can help. Yeah. And thank you.
Yeah. Thanks, Laura. Claire. Yeah. Thanks, Claire.
You're the best. Yeah. Appreciate it. Good job being smart at math. Yeah.
And being happy to teach math. Right? And She likes it. Yeah. It was fun, though, because we went to her classroom at her high school, and, there there's nobody there.
Right? It's after hours. And, and they sat down, and they were working on some stuff. And I went, I'm gonna go sit in the back of the class with all the bad kids. So I I just sat back there by myself Cool.
Listening, going like, man, I should probably pay attention more in math class because this sounds really interesting. Not needed. Well, now Maths. Happy happy there are people who know maths in our world. And like it.
And do that. It and teach it. Yeah. Thanks for those people. If I say to you 5 second rule, what does that mean?
That means you drop some food, and you're gonna eat it. That's what it means. Okay. But why why 5 seconds? Why is the 5 second rule 5 seconds?
Yeah. Why Because germs have to count down. Uh-oh. 5, 4. Correct.
So you have 5 seconds to grab your Tom. Yeah. To grab the dog. Yes. Right?
To blast off. You have to count you have a 5 second rule. Food is okay to eat if you pick it up in 5 seconds or less. K. The germs can't get on it that quick.
Various studies have debunked and value evaluated the validity of this. Reacher's researchers, have found that bacteria transfers to food almost immediately upon contact with the contaminated surface. Bacteria is not sitting around, Kout, and they're like it's like a dog. The second it hits the floor No. No.
They count. Listen. The miss the Mythbusters did it. And what'd they find? Well, their test found that there was no significant difference in the amount of bacteria picked up by food that was left on the ground for 5 seconds or for any longer.
Exactly. Yeah. The the the rule is a myth. I know it's what you said, because bacteria can attach to food immediately when it touches a contaminated surface. The type of food, the moisture level, and the surface type all affect how quickly contamination occurs.
For example, wet foods like an apple slice will pick up bacteria more easily than a dry food like a popcorn or a cookie. Yeah. Because it's like Right. Got an absorbent pad to stick on. You know what I mean?
The surface. Yes. The surface is Correct. Attachable. They say it's always safer to throw away dropped food to avoid potential risk.
There's no such thing as the 5 second rule. However, I still live by it. And do you? I don't know. Not real I mean, I don't count.
Oh, 5 second rule? I got it. Yeah. So I looked this up because I wanted to see where it originated from, and it just happened kind of over time as a a playful way to justify eating food that had been dropped. But I would say, like, it's gonna depend on the surface more than it will depend on the food a little bit, but it will depend on the surface that it fell on whether or not I'm gonna eat it.
Okay. If I'm eating a Yeah. A burger and a pickle slides out and lands on the plastic tray, that pickle's dead to me. Yeah. Oh, no.
Absolutely. I'm not touching that pickle. Lands on the table, that pickle's done. I'm not gonna touch it. No.
Me neither. But what if a fry falls and hits the tray? Oh. Do you see what I'm saying? It depends on the food and the surface.
Absolutely. It does. If the fry falls and hits the chair and then goes on the floor, that fry is dead to me. Yeah. But that same fry falls and hits the the little tray, I'll probably still eat that fry.
What's the difference? It's true. But also depending on where you're eating. Sometimes That is very true. Trays are different Right.
Cleanliness depending on where you eat too. Alright. If I'm at a movie theater and a popcorn rolls down my coat and it's just sitting on my coat, I'm eating that popcorn. Absolutely. But if it rolls down and hits the chair, that popcorn's dead to me.
No. I'm not kidding. What's the difference? Because surfaces. I'm not Oh, yeah.
Yeah. You know, because surfaces. Surfaces, man. That's why. Because because surfaces.
Science science says Yeah. Surfaces, man. I don't know. That's the way it goes. Surfaces, bro.
You know? It's so it's substances and surfaces. We're gonna have to do I wanna do a test and see what hard limits are for now. People's limit. Yeah.
Yeah. And it it really, it's gonna have to do with whether or not it's a wet food or a dry food because I use popcorn as an example. If it's a That's a good one. Bite of cookie and a little piece of cookie falls, I'm eating that cookie. Where is it gonna where is it going?
Fell on my coat or if it fell on the counter or it fell Did it fall off the chair where you're eating? Oh, I'm done. Yeah. That cookie's done. Chair's a hard pass.
But if it falls on my body, I'm like, Yeah. No. I mean, my body is clean. My my clothes are clean. You're not gonna eat that cookie.
That cookie's still good. I'm eating all kinds of stuff off of my pants today. Popcorn? Yes, please. Yeah.
Why not? Now let me ask you this. You have popcorn in a movie theater. Yeah. It goes in between your, like, your coat and your shirt or your hoodie.
And later on, when you're changing, you take your hoodie off, you take your coat off, and it falls, and you go I catch it in your hand. You eating that popcorn? Yes. You are? Yes.
No. That popcorn's been lost. That popcorn is a stranger popcorn. Know that it fell out of my clothes, yeah, it's been tucked away all the time. That it's your popcorn?
Whose else popcorn would it be? I don't know. People get weird at the theater. Sometimes popcorn goes flying. No.
It's not a rogue popcorn. It's my popcorn. Okay. I was reading this thing called, why do we say toothbrush and not teethbrush? Okay.
It's the same as we say, I'm gonna go get my haircut, not I'm gonna go get my hairs cut. Alright. I think, like, you call all of your collective hairs your hair. My hair. Right?
Like, if if you said, what part of my body is this? No one says that's your hairs. It's your hair. Your hairs. So that makes sense to me because if it was if it was called hairs, then that, you know, as as a, what's the word?
I'm like, plural. Okay. Then, then that would be weird for you to call it a haircut if you call it a hairs. Now The reason is when combining a noun with another word, we don't use the plural of the noun. I'm sure there's exceptions, but this is how English grammar works.
So a car dealer deals in multiple cars. A goat herder herd multiple goats. A tree hugger hugs multiple trees. Okay. Alright.
Child doctor doctors multiple children. But but I still I think I think in your example of haircut and teeth brush, a teeth brush makes more sense than a toothbrush because you don't call your teeth collectively your tooth is what I was trying to get at. Like, oh, I gotta go I gotta I gotta toothache Yeah. Is a singular tooth, but you don't ever say I got a teethache. But what about peanuts butter?
Yeah. See. Exactly. That's weird. Only because we've said peanut butter our whole life.
If we grew up saying peanuts butter, that would be the norm. If you grew up saying peanuts butter Peanuts butter. I don't think we'd be together. Can I get a peanut butter and jelly sandwich? Yeah.
And jellies. Peanuts, butters, and jellies. Butters, and jellies. That's so much. Like, I stop with the s's.
You're saying too many s's. Peanuts, butters, and jellies. I gotta go get my teeth brushed. Well, thanks for the, cool grammar lesson. Okay.
Well, then it should be toothbrush. Tooths? Toothbrush. No. Because you you if you have 2 tooths, you have a teeth that changes.
It's like goose and geese. Okay. How do I explain moose? Exactly. Yeah.
You know? So then why do we say hairbrush and not hairsbrush? No. Because Does it say collectively one one grouping of hair, of hairs. But here's the other thing is that you don't brush one hair.
See? Yeah. And the same with teeth. You don't brush one tooth. It makes no sense.
Now it makes zero sense. Makes no sense. Sleeves, I have 2 of those Teeth paste. Arms. Is there something Don't forget your teeth brush and teeth paste.
I'm gonna start saying that. It makes more sense in my brain. Okay. No one will think you're strange. Go eat some peanuts butter.
Let me know how that works out for you. Last weekend, we did some cleaning up. We cleaned out some stuff in the garage that had been sitting around waiting to be donated, so we loaded up your truck. We took a bunch of stuff to, a donation facility. And then there were some items that we wanted to keep around, and so you climbed up in the attic and put some stuff in the attic.
When you get to the attic, you go, what's up here? What was all of this? I know. And and there's this, you didn't get to see what it looked like, but it looked like there had been a stack of boxes, maybe 6 boxes, and they'd all fallen over. So they were all kind of like a domino laying there, like a stack of dominoes.
Right? Yeah. And and I was like, what is this stuff? I don't remember there being anything up here. Remember putting anything in there yet.
And this stack had been there, and it was dusty. And I'm like, what is what is this? So I'm looking through the boxes. I'm like, this is just stuff. Like, I don't know what this is, but I we gotta pull it down and go through it because this is not stuff we want in the attic probably.
So I pulled it down, and you it was like stuff we meant to donate who knows how long ago. But didn't. We I think we finally determined that maybe it was stuff that we wanted to donate during the pandemic. Oh. And we weren't able to because they weren't taking donations at the time.
So possibly that was that. That makes sense. Looking through some of the stuff. There was, like, some old it was almost a little nostalgic because there was some old toys that the kids had that they hadn't seen for years. And so then I was like, well, let's keep the ease instead of donating these.
Like, this will be fun for Right. To save. Okay. In that donation pile, I found a pair of shoes, and I was like, oh, I'm gonna keep these. Why would I donate these?
That was pretty exciting. Did you keep them? I kept them. I wore them today, and there's a good reason they were in the donation. Like them?
No. They're uncomfortable. My foot is I've already got are? They haven't even seen. I'll show you.
Oh, you took one off. Oh, yeah. Those are cute. They are cute. They are What's on the bottom?
A surprise tag. They have a price tag on the bottom. What are you doing? I don't know. Come on.
Meaning, I bought them. You bought them? I wore them, and I was like, these These are uncomfortable. Uncomfortable. Get rid of these.
But you couldn't even be bothered to take the price tag off of them? No. Did you try them on before you bought them? No. No.
Never. These are the right size. I'll just wear them out. They really hurt my feet. I sit all morning.
And your feet hurt. Time I've gotten up today is to go to the restroom Right. And walk around the counter. Yeah. And already, I've got a sore on my foot because they hurt so much.
Wearing a sock? No. Wear socks. With these shoes, you can't. Let me see.
Look it. Yeah. You can. You I'm not gonna wear a sock with this. Why?
Because you'll see it through those little toe holes. That's your old lady talking. I'm not wearing socks with these shoes, Josh. Seeing socks through the holes is hip. No.
You're supposed to be wearing socks. Look at You're you're hurting your blisters and things because because you're not wearing a sock. Okay. I probably get that, but I'm also not gonna wear a sock with these shoes. Look at the sword that it's created on my foot.
Yeah. Guess what would prevent that? What? A sock. No.
I'm not wearing socks. Clearly. So I like it when my heels hurt. I'm not wearing socks. Of this lesson is Wear socks.
You have something that's in a to donate pile, just leave it there. Because you probably put it there for a reason. Reason that you put it there in the first place. Sense. That makes sense.
Don't go shopping in your don't your own donation pile. These are cute. Oh my god. Get these out. Yeah.
Look at these. And then you pay the price. Try them with a sock. No. I just get a haircut.
Back in the pile. If somebody wants these shoes, they're free. I took this I took the price tag out. You did? Yeah.
Finally. Okay. You go to the doctor. You're in the doctor's office. He comes in or she.
They come in, they greet you, and they ask, how are you? Even sometimes before they even sit down. Do you say, good, or do you start in on your symptoms? I'm trying to think of How are you? Of the situation because it does pain in my thigh.
My shoes are too tight. I got a blister. Yeah. I haven't been sleeping well. Like, I feel like in that setting, if I'm in the in the exam room or whatever and, and the doctor is asking me how I'm doing, that's probably the lead in to, to yeah.
Let's talk about it. Now if it's just a routine checkup and and I'm just there and it's and it's, you know, how are things? And you that that feels a little more per like, personal, like, you know, cash. Like, how how's things going? How's life?
How's work? How's the fam? You know, those kinds of things. So so I think in that setting where I'm just there for, like, my annual checkup thing, it feels like that's that's really one of those, like, how's it hanging? Okay.
Where if you go in and you're sick and then you go, how's it going? And you go, not great, doc. Not great. What if he comes in and you says, how's it going? And you say, good.
I think they I keep saying he, but there are women doctors. Yes. There are. They say it's about to get worse because I've got the results in their test. No.
No. I don't want that. No. Well, I can say Well, real good, but I'm imagining it's probably gonna hopefully stay that way. I'm about to ruin your day, guy.
No. I don't need that. I don't like that at all. I don't want I don't wanna have that convo. Usually, typically, when you go to the doctor, they say, how are you?
And you say, good. And you exchange those regular pleasantries, and then he sits down, and then he says Alright. Well, look at your chart. What are you in for today? And then you say, ah, I got fursitis.
What is that? I don't know. Spell it. B u r s I t I s. What is it?
A painful condition that occurs when a bursa. It's in your knee. Oh, no. Oh, no. You got an inflamed bursa.
That was that's from a movie, I'd say. Oh, is it? So I have no idea what bursitis is. Well, now you do. It's an inflamed looks like water on the knee.
I hope nobody gets that. That sounds very painful. Yeah. How Way to go. Way to bring up that.
Well, I looked at your chart. Looks like it's bursaig. Now I know you might feel like you're bursaig yourself, but Stop. Stop. See, that's why I can't be a doctor because I would make everything silly like that.
I mean, I yeah. You're gonna need to wanna sit down. That's the reason? That's the one reason you can't be a doctor? Well, that and, you know, medical school kinda holding me back.
But, also, nobody wants the guy like, that's my bedside manner is to be like, I know you might be beside yourself. Actually, that might be a breath in my chair. No. There's gotta be I bet there's some code of conduct in there. You can't do that.
Listen. I have a doctor who has zero bedside manner. Yeah. And, I often joke as a means of coping, and he just looks at me, and then he continues on with his facts and figures. Well, that's fun.
Well, 28% of people. And I go, I don't care about 28% of people, doctor. Laugh at my job. Yeah. He should put in some he should put in some jokes.
He really should. Should work on his act. He could lighten up a little bit. A little workshop. Yeah.
Looking at you, doc. Deliver something, bursaide stats. Stop. Stop. I have a question to ask.
What's up? Do all adults feel like they're just pretending to be an adult? Yes. Are there adults out there who are like, yes. I'm an adult, and I enjoy adulting.
No. Those are the worst at pretending. Those are the worst at pretending because those are the types of adults that don't know how to have any fun. That's what I'm saying. No.
There's there's, there's a secret I heard a long time ago. It was from, an elderly lady. She's probably in her eighties, maybe nineties, and she said the biggest secret is that no one ever grows old. Like, you're you age, but you don't grow old. Like, you just are always 20 Yeah.
Something in an older body. And I think that's correct. I feel if you stop pretending or you stop forgetting how to have fun we've been in situations before where we're trying to have fun, and people have called us immature. Yeah. Who cares?
Okay. Where's the fun in being mature? Yeah. Whole work? No fun.
I gotta go to work. I gotta pay taxes. No bills. Bulloring. A guy I saw online, he said, I sometimes feel like I'm still a young child trying to do my job as an adult, but deep inside, all I really wanna do is run around and throw snowballs.
Yeah. And do stuff that's not socially accepted as a grown man. Yeah. You gotta start doing that stuff. Just do it.
Life is too short. Make a snowball, do it. I mean, you know, don't don't hurry. I don't want I don't want you to have to Don't break snowballs right now. Don't pull anything.
No. That on your run up the door. That is true. Remember, you are in an aged body. Do things safely.
Right. Be be cautious, but have fun. Let loose. Yeah. I mean, you know, why not?
You're gonna embarrass yourself a little bit? Okay. That's the joy of life, isn't it, to just do what you wanna do? I mean, you and I, we just come in here and just make a goof all morning. And it's fun.
And then they're like, here's money. I go, what? I know. And then I go, what am I supposed to do with this money? That's insane.
I don't want money. Oh, you're supposed to pay for your house, and I go, but I don't want you. Right. But there's a new Nerf gun, and I got video games I wanna play. We still are responsible.
Bills. Who invented bills? Who did invent bills? That's so weird. Somebody that was needs to be sent into space.
I'm an adult. I'm gonna invent bills. Yeah. That's exactly what it was. It was a it was someone who hates fun.
I'm just a bill. No. That's a different kind of bill. That's a different thing. If I have you ever heard the phrase, read the room?
Yeah. Read the room. Yeah. Like, if you walk into a room and you're, gonna be all jovial and then, people are sad, then you go, oh. Oh.
I shouldn't have shouldn't have come in here so, so heavy with the lightheartedness. So there's 3 different levels of listening that you should help read the room. This is what you should listen for and pay attention to. Level 1 is to listen what to what people are saying and how it fits into your own ideas on how to respond. Okay.
It's natural, but this is kind of an overused one they're saying. Level 2 is to listen and consciously not prepare any response, but just listen intently. Okay. So so your first one is is listen and engage. The second one is listen only.
Listen only, and then repeat what they're saying in your head Okay. To block out the temptation to think of your own response. Okay. Alright. And then level 3 is to take a step back, and you're listening, but you're less dialed into one person, and you're not thinking of your own spot or your own response.
And this is the best mode to read a room. Level 3 is the best mode. Is to, is to just sort of eavesdrop fly on the wall style. Yeah. Mostly, all of these are, like, sometimes you don't need to respond at all.
Like, you just read the room, and you're just listening. Okay. Those good tips? Have you ever been somewhere and you're like, oh, I got a great like, oh, I'm coming into the room with this banger. No.
I got so like, I got the best joke to say as I enter the room. In a room with a banger. And then you walk in, and then you're like, oh. No. You haven't ever?
No. I'm walking around. Wait till you hear this because you have no idea what's going on in there yet. I know, but I do that. I do that pretty hard.
Come in, guns blazing, whatever. Like, here I am. I've been thinking of a way to enter the room. I'm a whole ride here. And then I walk in.
I'm like, guys. Oh. Oh, there's some serious happening in here. I can see how you'd, like, recoil on that, but but that feels like the other way. What they're talking about here is, like, you're in the room.
Already in the room. Happening, and you're you're trying to either include yourself, level 1, sort of not include yourself, but also really pay attention, or Yeah. Sort of passively understand that there's, understand that there's, something going on in the room. If you walk into a room and you don't necessarily know what the vibe is Yeah. You can tell a lot of times by their body language too.
Well, sure. How are people looking at each other? What are others saying? Are there people talking? Who is confident?
How are they But I also there's something there's something great about walking in a room, reading it, and then meeting it with the opposite energy. Like, everybody is downtrodden. Yeah. And you walk in, and you're like, what's up, birthday boy? Whatever.
And then the whole room goes, what is wrong with you? Yeah. Who invited this? Or the other way. Everything's all jovial, and you walk in like a dim cloud.
Hey, guys. What's going on in the room? It's a real Debbie Downer move, Josh. I know. And then everybody goes, you okay?
And you go, yeah. Just just goofing. What are we doing? Happy Friday. These are terrible ideas.
I think Don't listen to Josh. Socially acceptable things to do. People will like you better if you do it. I don't, no, I don't listen to Josh. I'm writing a book about how to be socially awkward and be okay with it.
Oh, can I contribute? I just I just read you a chapter. Read a room. Anti energy is the name of the chapter. Anti energy.
I pop in with too much energy sometimes. That's what I'm saying. Hey. Right. But but then sometimes you gotta flip that.
And if you walk in and it's and it's, and it's a happy jovial place, you gotta be willing to If I walk into a room with a Downer it. A real banger. Like, I really wanna say something exciting. I don't either. You keep saying that.
Got a really good joke to share. Yeah. And I walk in, and I'm like, oh, I'm reading the room, and it's, like, not the time. But I still wanna tell my jokes. Do it.
No time like the present. I'll wait a minute. Chapter. There's no time like the present. Josh's guide to social awkwardness.
I like it. Yeah. I wanna contribute. Fill all awkward silences with, music. Just start singing.
You kinda do that already. And then I'll sing a song just like that. Would you rather this thing or the other thing or maybe something you don't even bring up that I'll bring up? It's would you rather this or that. Would you rather eat your Thanksgiving meal with just your hands or have to open your Christmas presents using a fork?
I could probably do either. I'm not saying that you couldn't. I'm just asking you to make a choice. What are you picking? I'm gonna pick Christmas presents using a fork.
Your fancy Christmas fork? Yes. Look. I'm just saying there's sometimes sometimes there's packages that it's like, yeah. Actually, the fork comes in handy.
My fancy Christmas fork might just be might just be the best answer. Plus I really only get a couple of presents a year anyway. Oh my goodness. Look. I'm telling you, over the past couple of years, I've stepped up game.
You have So I don't know what you're talking about. Really stepped up game. That's true. To be sure. I don't even know what you're talking about.
I'm still gonna go with the fork because I like the idea. I it is funny. Maybe you could Christmas fork is pretty good. Fork in each hand. And that's all you can use is forks.
Got let's try to see. One I liked having one hand, maybe your nondominant hand, but your dominant hand is fork. I'd like 2 forks. I'm going in with 2 forks. It sounds a lot cleaner than dealing with hands for for Thanksgiving dinner.
Yeah. Because there's some food like, I don't mind. I'll eat the turkey. Sure. I can eat pick up the turkey, dip in some gravy, eat some roll, eat some relish tray, deviled eggs, whatever.
Fine. Stuffing probably would be okay, but then you get to them potatoes and gravy. And the yams? No. Those don't make it on my plate.
Well But the mashed potatoes and gravy's grab grabbing up the, green beans. A fistful of all that? Yeah. Handful of corn. Kinda I don't know.
You'd have to sit at your own table because everyone would be grossed out. Yeah. Josh is eating with his We made the cookie salad. Yeah. That would be a mess.
Salad by the handful? Yeah. No. I'm gonna go ahead and, go for Christmas fork. Yeah.
Christmas fork. Yes. It's a winner. Would you rather this or that? I don't know why I didn't this never occurred to me, and I don't know why, but it makes a lot of sense.
What is it? Kinda seems like, yeah, I should have thought of that. What is it? People are taking the, store bought cookie dough Okay. That you roll out.
Like, it's a it's a tube, and you just slice it and turn it into cookies. Yes. They're rolling it out and making it, like, a flat sheet of cookies, and then no. Hold on. And then taking a knife or a pizza cutter or whatever and cutting it into strips and then baking the strips, and they're called cookie fries.
Why didn't I think of cookie fries? Where in my brain did I miss out on cookie fries? I thought you were gonna go with, like, a, like, a fruit pizza or a cookie pizza thing. Or turn them into cookie fries. How about that?
Genius. That is genius. It's just a little skinny rectangle cookie, but then you can dip it in milk like a fry. You could dip it in frosting. You could dip it in whatever you want.
Hold consistency? I just Don't make them long. Don't make them, like, a foot long. Make them, you know, what? Squatty.
3 to 4 inches long. The squatty fry. Like, the fry length. Cookie fries. Yeah.
I mean, like, a steak fry. Right? Like, they gotta be a little wider. Well, you could do that with regular batter too, like homemade batter. You could do it with anything.
It just never occurred to me that you could take the store bought dough that's just, like, cut it off and put it on the pan, roll it out instead, and cut it into strips and have cookie fries. Cookie fries. It's taken over the Internet. Brilliant. It's taking over the Internet.
Everybody's talking about cookie fries, and I'm late to the cookie fry game. I'm late to the cookie fry game too. I've been on the Internet a lot. I haven't seen anything that much. You've got a round cookie and you try to dunk it in your glass, if it's a little bit wider, it doesn't fit around the you know what I'm saying?
And you'd have to break it in half to make a cookie fry. A cookie a round cookie is too much cookie. So a little a little cookie fry might just be the right amount of cookie. I'm just gonna eat more of them. Five cookie fries.
Yeah. I'm gonna eat the whole thing because I can't stop myself when it comes to cookies. You like cookies. I do. I like cookies.
Anyway, I just saw this on the Internet, and I went, How about it? Isn't that a thing? So I'm gonna probably have to make cookie fries. Okay. Oh, actually, you know what I'm gonna do?
I'm gonna get our daughter to make cookie fries because she makes really good cookies. So that's what I'm gonna do. I'll just teach her a new way to split them. She's really good at it. But, anyway, that's gonna do it for the show today.
I got cookie fries on the mind. Mhmm. You know, it's almost 10 o'clock. Tomorrow cookie fries. Time for cookie fries.
Yeah. Somebody could, do this as, like, a marketing thing. Oh, yeah. Cookie fries dipped in a bowl of ice cream, couple of warm cookie fries stuck in there. Oh, come on.
Happy Thursday, everybody. Have a great rest of your day. Hang in. Tomorrow is Friday. Almost to the weekend.
That's right. And, and then we'll have that to look forward to. It's supposed to be pretty nice weather wise for the next couple of days. So maybe get out and do some, some fall exploring, which is nice. In November, we're talking, like, upper forties and fifties.
Not bad. Not terrible. So during the day. Cold at night and cold in the mornings, but during the day, real nice. Enjoy it.
Yep. And we'll be back tomorrow morning on your Friday. Have a good rest of your Thursday. See you later. Goodbye.
