What is that? I thought I'd try something different. I don't care for it. I've been trying stuff all week. You have?
I haven't even noticed. Oh, well, go back and listen to the podcast. You'll hear a different little opening every day of the week. Today's Friday. No.
It's a I is it channeling Barry Gibb? No. Oh. Just keeping it mellow and easy on a Friday morning. It sounds very Gibb like.
Alright. And it's it's open to interpretation. That's fine. Keeping it mellow and easy Yeah. On a Friday.
Well, I didn't have all the, I don't have all the barricade. I didn't have all that. I was keeping it. Just, hey. Good morning.
What's up? No. No. No. How you doing?
No. Happy Friday. I don't like it. Stop it. It's August 23rd.
It's so weird. It's internot day. Internot? Yeah. Are you saying that wrong?
No. Internaut day. You're supposed to be an internaut, like an astronaut, someone who explores the Astros. You're someone who explores the internaut. I'd rather not.
Yeah? I feel like we explore the Internet every day. I know. But today is the day that the world wide web was first introduced to the public. So What year?
Yeah. Stop. I really it doesn't say. It doesn't say the year? No.
What? It just says it happened on August 23rd. So that's what's up. I'm gonna be an internot and look it up. Okay.
One of my favorite sandwiches is having a day today. It is the national Cuban sandwich day. Yep. It is cheap flight day. We may need to take a look and see what's going on with, flights.
I don't know. 1993. The Internet was around before 93. I know it was. It says April 30, 1993, the World Wide Web software became public domain.
That's not. That's not it? That's not it. It says it became publicly available on April 30, 1993. Public domain is different than publicly available.
It says both. It's that's the same date for both of those. I don't know. But you're right. I feel like it was existed before.
What it says. August 23, 1991, the web was opened to the public offering a new way for people to share information effortlessly across the planet. 91. Yeah. The web's source code was released in April of 93.
However, August 23rd remains a symbol of digital innovation and community. 10. I was 10 years old. Also, do you remember when you had to type in www before? Do you know there are people that still do that?
There are people that still say visit our website www. You don't have to do that anymore. You don't even yeah. You don't. You have to have to say it.
You don't have to type it. The Internet changed. Keep up is what we're saying. In a nice way. Be nice about it, Josh.
Sure. I'm being nice. It's international day for the remembrance of the slave trade and its abolition. Big deal. That's not July 19th?
That's that's different. Okay. That would be Juneteenth, but this is different. This is, designated by the United Nations Educational Scientific and Cultural Organizations to commemorate the freedom of slaves that took place in the past and to raise awareness about the ongoing efforts to completely abolish slavery. So This is a remembrance day.
International Day of the Remembrance of the Slave Trade and its Abolition. Yes. Got it. Valentino Day. Valid Rudolph Valentino.
He's a twenties film star. Cool. Ride the wind day. This is a day to, visit an aerospace museum, get yourself, windsurfing, maybe go bungee jumping, jump out of an airplane. It's a perfectly fine ride, but, you know, yeet.
But, you know, eat. Sponge cake. You like a sponge cake? I do. Today is sponge cake day, and that's what's happening.
K. Alright. Oh, stop. Happy Friday. Stop it.
It's Josh and Shannon Hale. No one likes it. I kinda like it. No one likes it. It's so easy.
It's like it's like talking through a yawn is what it is. Yeah. The Hey. Well, happy Friday. There's a new trend among influencers.
Mhmm. And it is to take staged glamour shots of their neatly filled TSA trays while going through security at an airport. Stop holding people up. The TSA says, yes. This is fine.
We don't care, but you cannot cause any kind of delays. And here's the thing. If you've ever been through TSA They're your favorite people. Terrifying. You are not afraid of them at all.
I, 1, don't like to get in trouble. And, I always feel like I'm going to get in trouble with the TSA agents. I realized they're just doing their job, and they're like, we gotta keep things moving. Like, get they're loud. When we flew to San Diego aggressive?
They're not aggressive. They're just assertive is a better word. Right. Because they gotta get their job done. I realize it.
But I'm always like, I cannot tie my shoes any faster than I'm already untying my shoes. The lady at the airport when we flew to San Diego was the most intense woman you have ever seen in your life. She was drill sergeant. I've never seen a TSA agent working like she was. Like, I've been through enough.
We went we've flown enough that I was like, ah, this is no big deal. You gotta take your shoes off. You gotta put your laptop in its own container. Blah blah blah. I know all this stuff.
That. I know what to do. It's fine. I know the drill. But this woman was like, get your bin and move.
I mean, she was on the ball. I was scared. I was very terrified. I don't like being in trouble. In you had sweat beads waiting in the line.
And then I always am worried that I've, like, forgotten something. Like, oh, I forgot, you know, that I had that thing. I don't know. I'm always afraid that I'm gonna get in trouble even though I know that I've done everything right. Yeah.
I'm carrying all the right proper gear. All of my liquids are in their amount that they should be. I don't have any weapons. I don't have any metal. I've taken out all my electronic devices and put them in the bins.
I realize I've done everything right, but there's always this moment of panic where I go, what if I get in trouble for something? It's terrifying. In fact, I did. The last time we flew What did you get in trouble for? You're supposed to take everything out of your pockets.
Oh, glad I had ChapStick. You had and then She goes, what's in your pocket? And I went, it's just ChapStick. I swear, it's just ChapStick. I'm sure they deal with a lot more than ChapStick on the day to day.
I understand. You're not the big bird person. I'm a very low threat. I Yeah. But they make it sound they make it seem like I'm a big threat.
Shoes off. Fell off in the bin. Move it. Move it. Move it.
So these folks doing this selfie thing Yes. Are I want them to meet her. I didn't see think she's gonna go, no. Yes. Move it.
Yeah. We're not doing this. Yeah. That's not happening. Yeah.
So there the trend is to take the time to carefully and neatly arrange all your belongings, and then take a picture from above to show how neat it looks, and then move along. No. How dumb? What is the point of this? Your shoes, your phone, your keys, your backpack laying in a gray wash bin?
Yep. No. There's no reason for that. A lot of these aesthetic. Well, a lot of these aesthetic.
These, a lot of these pictures are being called out because a lot of people are saying, you're doing this after you've gone through the security. You're not necessarily doing it before. Like, if they're doing it before, maybe it's a challenge No. To do it neatly and take it quickly before the TSA agents are like, move. And then a lot of them are like, no.
We did it after. Stop this trend. We're doing it. There's no reason for this trend. No doubt.
And it doesn't matter if you're doing it before or after. There's a very limited amount of space. Yes. And no matter what, you're holding people up. Correct.
Move out of the way. Get out of the way. Move. Yep. People are in a rush.
They no one wants to miss their flight, and you're making that potential higher. Move out of the way. And, also, nobody cares if your bin is arranged nicely. Who cares? Not me.
Throw it in. Move on. Move. I feel like I could be a TSAH. I think you could.
Move. I could not. I'd be too scared. Put your hands where it says to put your hands. Put your feet where it says to put your feet.
Stand still. Alright. You're gonna need to be wanded. Come here. That's how it's gonna go.
That you just wanna wand people. I don't want to wand people. I do not want that job. I don't want that part of the job. No.
No. I wanna just be the one that's like, get your gray bin, put your laptop in its own thing. If you didn't hear me, I'm gonna say it again louder to you specifically. So pay attention now. You could be good at it.
Yeah. But then you gotta do it, like, all day. All day long. Well, unless you work at a smaller airport where you work it, like, during flight times. K.
You know? Yeah. Like a like a regional airport, like what we have here in East Idaho. You're you're gonna have busy times, but you your flight your flights aren't as frequent as, like, an international airport where you're doing that all day. Well, you found your second colleague.
I don't think Go get a side hustle. I don't need the TSA side hustle. How much money does it make? I don't know. I I could be the guy who doesn't have to say anything and just watches bags go through the X-ray machine.
I kinda want that job. You do? Yeah. Because I'd be like, mhmm. Oh, what is that?
Better better pull that one aside. Robot arm. Yeah. I kinda want that job. Good news to get you going today is a local story that you stumbled across last night.
Yes. And this story is super, super special. Super amazing. So Daniel Sanchez is a local barber, and he is a proud uncle to an elementary school student. And, yesterday, he gave his time and talent to provide free haircuts to students at a local elementary school in Idaho Falls.
I think it is awesome. It's very, very cool. As we know, when you look your best, you do your best. I totally agree. Daniel reached out to the school earlier in the month, offering to come in before the start of the new school year to make sure that kids look and feel their best.
And so he said, hey, I want these, these kids to start the year with confidence. And he showed up. And I don't know how many haircuts he he gave, but, what a cool, cool thing. Did 1, if he did 30. It's still just as amazing.
Yep. What a thought. Very, very cool. So, Daniel, way to go. What a great thing you've you've done there, and, keep it up.
What a great act of kindness. So sweet. It's it's awesome. On the post here that I'm reading, from Bonneville School District 93, they say thank you, Daniel, for your kindness and community spirit. Our our kids and the District 93 family appreciate you.
So I think that's it's really, really good. So way to go Thank you, Daniela. Sanchez. So kind. A local good news story to get you going on a Friday morning.
Good job. Way to find a good, cool story that happened right here in East Idaho. I like it. I'm doing just all the kind things. Do all the lifting.
Thank you. No. Thank you to Daniel. No. Good job, Daniel.
Good news to get you going. There are homeowners that are going online onto Google and blurring their houses on Google Maps. Like, they're government secrets? What are they why? No.
They're they're doing this in an attempt to deter burglaries. So if there is, maybe something on your house where, like, burglars can see where you're, like, not necessarily protected enough or they can see a window that they're like, oh, I couldn't get into that window. I see. Do you know what I'm saying? I I didn't think about, burglars using Google Maps to kind of scope it out.
Either. But if you were a burglar, that would be a good place to start. Yeah. Don't do that. But I was just looking at our house.
Google Maps went by October of 2022 is the last time they went by. Yeah. It was the fall. So, the tree in our front yard is beautifully yellow. Yeah.
The yard needs raked. It's really, really, really full of leaves. Oh, no. Yeah. It's weird looking to look at your house on the Internet.
If you wanna blur your house Yes. You can do this. So Google Maps will automatically blur, like, a person's face or a license plate. Mhmm. But it and this doesn't work on your mobile device.
If you wanna do this, you have to go to a, like, a home PC. Yeah. And then you have to let's see. You navigate to street view. Yeah.
I'm there now. And then you click on the 3 dots. 3 dots? You see it? I see print, report a problem, or share an emblem.
Report a problem. Okay. Do that. I'll look. What?
I'm just looking. Go ahead. Are you blurring our house? No. I'm just looking at it.
Request blurring. A face or home. It's very easy. You can request to request to blur something. Your home, a person's face, vehicle, license plate, anything.
You can blur maybe you just wanna blur the the leaves on the Yeah. Don't look at my unranked yard. A pet? Maybe you don't want somebody to see your pet or your motorcycle. You know Yeah.
I get what you're saying. Yeah. So there you go. Or maybe you've got something in the window that somebody can see. You can request to October 22nd or whatever day this was in October of 22.
Mhmm. What a beautiful day. I mean, the sky is blue. It looks warm for an October day. I know.
I gotta go look and see our house. It's nice. It's a good looking day. That's why I look at the Google Maps, and I go, that is a nice little house that we live in. Yeah.
We weren't home. No. Because our cars are gone. But, anyway, kinda fucked. That's our tree looks huge.
I know. We had the tree trimmed this, this spring, and look at it. Holy cow. You can't even see our house. You don't even need to blur the house.
Yeah. It's being blocked by the giant tree. But look at those poor yard. It's just covered with leaves. Anyway And our poor neighbor's yard.
Sorry, neighbors, about our giant tree. Well, we had to trim this spring. We tried to help out. Anyway There you go. There you go.
It's really easy to do if you want. I don't know. I mean, maybe it's a security thing. Maybe you just don't want people to see your house. Well, it is a security thing.
Yeah. That's fine. Go blur your house. It's easy to do If you want to. On Google Maps.
Something to do to waste some time today. You know, it's Friday. What am I gonna do? Oh, I'm a blur my house real quick. Sure.
Why not? No one needs to look at my house. But then I wonder if you can see it. Like, if they blur it, it's gonna be blurred for everybody. It's not but I know.
I kinda like looking at my house. It's kinda cool. I do too. I don't wanna I don't wanna blur it. Alright.
I won't blur our house. But thanks to letting me know I could, though. Can I go blur anybody's house I want? Maybe I wanna go start blurring other people's houses. I have to put in my email to request the blur, but it doesn't say Interesting.
Yeah. Because you don't have to provide verification that you live there. I'm just gonna go blur people's houses. Don't go blur people's houses. That's not nice.
Could it? Okay. I won't. This is cool. Listen to this.
So VR, virtual reality Yes. The headsets, they've got these different headsets now where you can partake of these virtual realities. So they are making their way into assisted living centers. This one that I've read this story on is happening in New York. I don't necessarily know where, but that's not important.
It's really cool because these people are partaking in these virtual realities, and it's it's really cool because the caretakers there are seeing an improvement in their life. Like, these people have been kinda living there, go just going through the motions of living, and a lot of them were feeling depressed and lonely. And now they're able to kind of live in these virtual realities. One guy went underwater diving with sharks, something he's always always wanted to do, and he can't obviously now because his mobility is limited. Another woman was like, I've always wanted to see a Broadway production, but I've never been able to.
So she went backstage of the Broadway of The Lion King, and so then she got to see the virtual reality of backstage with The Lion King. And then another woman retraced a vacation she took with her husband to Spain 30 years ago. And she was just walking through the streets of Spain going, like, oh, yeah. I remember this place. This is really cool Isn't this cool?
And fascinating for a lot of different reasons. I think it's really special that it's kind of reconnecting some some memories. I think that's really cool. I think it's cool that it's giving them opportunities that they didn't expect. Yeah.
I think there's a lot of really great things, that are that are happening here. I really am excited about that. I know. I think it's super cool too. So scientists have said that, yes, these VRs have been shown to enhance memory by improving the player's ability to differentiate between old and new environments.
And it's also giving these people experiences that they've never had before. Right. And so they're like, that was amazing. So it's like bringing new life into them, and so then they've seen an uptake in people even participating in live events, more community events because they're feeling inspired again. So they're very cool.
I'm I really like that. There there's a lot of research that has to be done around kind of how this is affecting, the brain and stuff. I'm really curious to know, like, what's going on in there. But but that's, that's really special. And I did see a thing a while ago that said, like, in the next 10 years or so, we're gonna have people that grew up with video games that are starting to age into nursing care and stuff.
And because, between Atari and Pong and Intellivision and all these things that existed, early video games. We're starting to get to where these are the things that are kind of people know this world. And as, you and I even, you know, you think about being in a nursing home environment or whatever as you're kind of, like, you know, up there aways. Like, you're not gonna be wanting to play Mario Kart. Oh, I will.
Come on. Yeah. I know. But you're gonna have to have tournaments. You're gonna have to have like, I just wanna play some Halo.
Like, let's let's make it happen. Like, I got nothing else to do. Let's play some Halo. I think It's I think it's really cool. Too.
There was one gentleman who wanted to watch an opera, and they couldn't they couldn't find an opera on the VR, but they did find a Philharmonic performance. So they put the headset on him, they played it for him, and then they just sat back and let him watch. And then they just let him watch. And then as it came to an end and we're taking out the headset, this gentleman started breaking out into his own operatic song, something that he hadn't done for years. Yeah.
That's really cool. Really cool. I I like that. Too. Yep.
And it's probably mind blowing to someone who has never experienced, anything like that. Yeah. You you put on the the vision part, but you put on the sound. It's so immersive. I mean, you you get in your mind.
Your mind tells you you're there, and it's so wild. So really cool. I'm glad they're playing with it. That's great. Good job, tech.
I know. Yeah. Use it for the good. Right? Absolutely.
I saw something yesterday, and I said, now wait a minute. What was it? I saw something that I do, and it was labeled as OCD. What do you do that was labeled as OCD? And now is that just good organization?
Now is that really OCD, or is that just good organization? So it was, I'm so OCD that I write out my grocery list, and then I rewrite it again based on where you can find the items. I write it once, but I do it that way. Yeah. But you have to write it down first so that you know what ingredients you need.
No. You don't. What are you talking about? Make your categories and then fill in your categories. No.
I know that part, but you have to No. You don't. You write down meats, breads, dairies, produce, frozen As I'm making a meal plan and I'm writing down the ingredients of what I need for each of my I write it down, like, what I need first, and then I'll go back through and organize it. What I'm saying is cut out the middleman. Make it make your categories on a page, and then go through it once.
So, yeah, one time. You're so much better than me. Nope. It's not about being better. It's never about being better.
It's about being different and efficient. Yeah. Mine is pretty efficient too. You're doing it twice. You're Touch it once.
That's what I'm saying. This is not where this conversation was supposed to go. Fine. Fine. Distinguishes an individual's true OCD from someone who is just really organized.
It's the level of distress that the person experiences as well as an interference with functioning. Where do you feel, Yar? My level of functioning and my level of distress? Great. Feeling good.
So you might just have a little bit OCD when it comes to that, maybe? Yeah. Except I feel like most o OCD people have good organization habits. People with OCD may feel the need to organize things to make sense of their thoughts. Yeah.
But having seen my house lately, it is not. No. No. No. There's not good organization there.
There's a lot of different varying things. You are a list maker. Yes. So it's no big deal for you to make one list and then translate that list into another list. You're good with that.
I do. That's right. I'm doing it once. I can't be bothered. That's a different type of thing.
I don't want to do it multiple times. I will build categories, And then as I'm reading my recipes or whatever to make my shopping list Yeah. I'm filling out the categories of what I need. Oh, this needs a cucumber. That goes in produce.
Okay. It's a different system. It's not one's better than the other. How do you feel your level of distress versus your level of functioning is? Here's what it says.
In contrast, people who are just organized may be able to function even if things aren't perfect, and they may have preferred ways of doing things Yeah. Like keeping their room clean and organized or putting certain items in the same spot every day. They may also be annoyed if something isn't in order, but it doesn't stop them from going about their day. Yeah. So that's the big difference where your OCD can can definitely, interfere with your ability to function.
You can get stuck with I can't do anything until this thing is organized versus, yeah, it's it's I put it away, but it's not there right now. I'm moving on. I'll put it away later. Yeah. That that's kinda how I'm living.
That's how I'm functioning these days where I go home and I go, it is what it is. It's just carry on as normal. Right. See? No big deal.
Kick the dirt under the rug. It's fine. Everything will be fine. No big deal. No.
Yeah. Functioning totally normal. Yeah. There you go. We did some school shopping last night for Emery.
She needed some supplies. Yes. So we're picking up binders and notebooks and paper and blah blah blah. She needs a graphing calculator. Scientific.
Just scientific. Not graphing. But yes. What's the difference? Oh, the graphing calculators are, like, a 100 some odd dollars, and, scientific calculator is, like, 12.
Okay. Okay. Good job. Yeah. Okay.
So you tell her, I think we bought Beck 1. I bet he still has it. So she texts Beck. He's at work. She texts him, do you have a scientific calculator I could borrow?
And he said, yep. I don't know where it is. To which you replied I have a theory. I have a theory. I think I know where that scientific calculator is.
Where do you think it is? I think that scientific calculator is still in the backpack he took to school his senior year. Mind you, he graduated over a year ago. Ago. I think in his room exist the backpack still containing items from his senior year of high school, including but not limited to that scientific calculator.
Yep. As soon as you said that, I went, you're 100% correct. There's no way that backpack is unpacked and Nope. And everything he has in it has been sorted. There could be food in it.
Yeah. There really could be. I wanna know what's in that backpack. I kinda do too. Maybe we're how to go on a mission, find the backpack, and then unveil.
It'll be like an unboxing video where we What's in a senior year backpack? It's not been unpacked for a year. Assignments, do you think, are in that backpack that just never worked out? Graduated. So, you know, all of them except for the ones he turned in.
He just turned in the ones needed to just Yeah. Get that final push. Yeah. I found that paper, and it's you know what it looks like. It looks like it's been in the bottom of a backpack.
Uh-huh. It's accordion Uh-huh. And also kinda curled and ripped a little. And it's in his hand like a like an Olympic torch, and he goes, here's that paper. Found it.
And you go, alright. Good deal. I don't know. There's there maybe be he's unpacked. He felt like he might have put it away in a drawer.
But A drawer? Yeah. Yeah. A drawer. I don't know if he had a math class his last trimester.
Drawers. Did he have a math class his last trimester? I couldn't even tell you. Because if he didn't have a class that required the calculator, it could be in a drawer, as he said, and not in the backpack. But I bet that backpack is still packed.
I bet you're right. I bet even if the calculator is not in there, that backpack is still I gotta find out. Remnants of his probably even his sophomore year. You think? Got sophomore year stuff in there.
Who knows? I'm really curious. I wanna know if that backpack's still around because I he probably it may be in his car. I don't know where his backpack is. Who knows?
Do you think It could be in the trunk of the car. Do you think he knows? I think he's gonna help find that calculator for his sister. Or maybe on the last day of school, he just, like, took his backpack and he's like, I gotta get rid of this. Yeah.
That'll I will not be wearing this anymore. Shut it in the garbage. Yeah. Who knows what's in there? Money.
I doubt that. Snacks. Probably some food. I don't know what kind, though. Maybe a ziplock bag of some foods.
Maybe. Ziplock bag? Like, if he was like, I'm gonna take some chips, and he grabbed, like, a handful of chips and put it in a ziplock. Oh, I don't think that's no. That requires too much effort.
Okay. Well It's too many steps. I'm curious to know what's in there. Maybe we'll have to maybe that's a weekend project. What I said.
It's an unboxing. We'll go, hey. Let's bring out that backpack. Let's see what's inside. What you got?
What you got in that backpack? Let's find out. Weekend project. There could be some reusable stuff in there. Yeah.
He might have one. He could have recycled some binders. Yeah. I know. I know.
This is probably brand new notebooks. That's what I'm saying. I don't know what's in there yet. Stay tuned. How'd you sleep last night, Shannon?
I did not sleep well. I didn't get that much sleep either. Something was going on in the house. There was something going on outside as well. There was a pretty big thunderstorm Yeah.
And lightning and wind. I heard the wind. I heard the thunder. I didn't hear the wind so much. You didn't?
I don't think so. It happened before the rain. Before the rain and thunder? Yes. I heard the thunder, and I like the thunder.
I think the thunder is great. However, the Jack Russell in the living room where where she sleeps in her kennel was not excited about the thunder. No. So she said, I'm gonna bark and wake up the whole house. She okay.
I don't know what time she it was probably about 3:30 that she started barking. Because I she woke me up at 2. She had started to whine at that point. And I got up and used the restroom and then went back to bed thinking, ah, she's just whining. It'll be okay.
And then an hour and a half later, I was awoken rudely from a nice dream I was having. Aw. Yeah. Not your nice dream. It was a nice dream.
She was bar she was mad mad. She was not happy about it at all. So, somehow, someway, I said, alright. I'll get out of bed, I guess. And I wandered down the hall, and I went to the living room, and I opened the cage.
And she stood there just looking at me, like, I'm up. What are we doing? What are we doing? And I'm like, dude, it's 2:30 in the morning. What are you doing?
3:30. Was it? I don't know. It was 3:30. So I said, let's, let's go outside.
So I took her outside, let her use the bathroom. It was barely raining at the time. And I brought her back in, and I said, okay. Go to bed. And then she still was barking.
Yeah. She said, I'm not. No way. I'm not sleeping alone. This is too scary.
I don't I don't know if she if she was afraid of the thunder or if she I don't I don't know. I don't either. So she would not stop barking. I said, just bring her in here. Yeah.
You said, just bring her in here. Yeah. Because I wanted to go back to sleep. And then she jumps on the bed Yeah. And went nuts.
Yeah. And I went Like, oh, I you pee. There's more people in here. The worst dietit ever except her. Eventually, she laid down.
We went to sleep. I think she's all good, I think. But it was a disruptive night. Yeah. I'm sleepy.
I know. Tired. I shouldn't start Friday at 3 in the morning ever. No. It's awful.
But then we leave. I let her out to use the restroom again this morning before we leave at 5. Correct. And she goes to the bathroom, and then she just goes and jumps right back in our bed. Like Yeah.
Like, oh, and this is my bed now. Let's go back to bed. Yeah. No. That's not how it works.
No. We have a job to do to support your lazy butt. Yeah. That dog needs a job. That dog needs a new house.
Aw. Aw. Well, she found a new bed. That's for sure. She went she went, I'll just be here.
No. She won't. Yeah. That was a temporary thing. Yeah.
I we're gonna have to make sure that's not a thing. No. For sure. I'm not doing that. No.
I'm not doing that either. There are people that do that. And then I having a toddler. But it died. It felt like a toddler.
That felt like a baby. That was a baby situation. The baby won't go to bed. Just put her in the bed with us so we can go back to sleep. Baby situation, and I am too old for that.
I know. I am not in baby mode. I'm not in there. Dog was having a baby moment. I don't wanna be in baby mode either.
Go be a teenager dog. No. Old. Go be a senior dog. Eventually.
But just do your own thing. Be a do your own thing dog. Go, like, watch the butterflies or something. Like, oh, man. So nap is on the docket.
Yeah. I have a full day work sale, dude. Oh, micro naps. Just do you have sunglasses? No.
You don't? Like, in your car or anything? Oh, you should get some sunglasses. Because you just put them on and sit in your office. I don't have an office either.
So You can just it's like weekend at Bernie's. You just put the sunglasses on. Nobody knows what's going on back there. It's okay. You're gonna have to help me explain this because I still don't quite understand it.
Kids slang? Yeah. What which one? The 8. Oh, so, basically, the the slang for, eating and ate well, yeah.
Kinda. That's the what it means? Slang for, for ate. Our daughter It's the past tense of eat. Right?
So if if you say someone ate like, if you've got a video of somebody who delivered a speech and they just knocked it out of the park, just unreal, that person showed up and ate. Right? Or that person showed up to eat, and they ate. That's that's what it is. So it's a slang phrase used to express admiration and praise for someone who's done a great job at some point.
Okay. So Emery did her nails yesterday, painted her nails, got her nails looking all cute. And then I go, Emery, those are so cute. And she said, yeah. My friend said, girl, those are 8.
Yeah. So the number. No. Ate. Here's the thing.
I don't know how it applies to inanimate objects because I don't know how it applies to anything. No. Look. If you show up actually physically eating. No.
No. No. Listen. Well, if you are really good at it, then you ate. I am really good.
Yeah. But At eating. If you it's like you knocked it out of the park. Right? That's an old person slang thing.
It's the same. It's like, man, you showed up and knocked it out of the park. You showed up and ate. You got it. It's so strange.
Yeah. Or strange. Or this person showed up to eat, and boy did they ever. They ate. I mean But it but it works when you use it in that context too.
It's first it does. Yeah. I think it's so think it works. Yeah. Or some will even say, they showed up to eat, and they left no crumbs.
Oh. That's a little extension of it. No crumbs. I I usually don't leave crumbs. I know that about you.
Well, depending on what it is. Depending on the type of food. Yeah. So but I can't figure out how it applies to an inanimate object because it really is supposed to be attached to someone doing something. Something cool.
If you if if if she wanted to say, girl, you you ate those nails. Like, that would be Okay. Take that. Those nails look great. You did a great job doing your nails.
You ate. So if you were in a competition, like, it would be like you ate your competition. Kinda. Like, you showed up to that bike race and you ate. Yeah.
So that's how it works that way. Wow. It's the other part of it where I where they go like, oh, dude, that outfit eats or ate. Like, I that doesn't make sense. No.
Because the outfit isn't doing anything. None of it makes sense. You ate that outfit. Right? Like, you look good.
Thank you, Josh. I get. Thank you, Josh. Use it in that context, but but doing it as, like, oh, man. Was that a a compliment to me?
Uh-huh. The anything? An intentional one. Anyway I'll take them where I can get them these days. I understand.
I understand. Anyway, that's, that's 8 Eaton, eat, whatever you wanna call it. Wow. Yeah. Cool.
And now you know with the little rainbow and the star. 9 year old Lily lives in Pittsburgh, while she lives in Kirwanzville. Just outside of Pittsburgh? Which is about a 100 miles north of Pittsburgh. Long ways out of Pittsburgh.
Okay. So she's in Pennsylvania. Yes. Alright. And she has a pet rooster that she loves named mister Mohawk.
Mister Mohawk the rooster. Mhmm. Okay. Mister Mohawk has been getting a lot of complaints from neighbors because they claim he is too loud. So they, the neighbors, have taken this situation to city council and said, we want to ban roosters inside city limits.
So the city council said, yeah. We might ban roosters because they're they're loud. And 9 year old Lily said, you're not gonna ban my pet rooster, mister Mohawk. I love him so much. So she went to city council, and she delivered an impassioned speech Good for her.
At their last town council meeting, and her main argument was that people let their dogs stay outside and bark all day. Right. And they're just as loud. So why can't my pet rooster, mister Mohawk, stay outside all day? Yeah.
But what you can't you can't do that. Good for her. They haven't made their final decision yet, but they were very impressed with her speech and announced that mister Mohawk is in the clear. So no matter what their decision might be, he will at least be grandfathered in. Okay.
Good. So look. I get noise ordinance, and I appreciate that they're approaching this from a noise ordinance standpoint. Yeah. But they she really brought to the table, hey.
Look. If you're gonna be mad about my chicken going It's a rooster. Okay. My male chicken going then you've got to have the same consideration for other noise ordinances. Loud trucks, dogs Yeah.
Music. Yes. Pick a thing. Work on a noise ordinance complaint system if you don't have one in this city. And if you do, figure out if it applies and make some modifications if you need.
Good for her. What's her name? Her name is Lily. Good for you, Lily. I'm glad you, you're taking the right approach.
You're showing up where you need to. That's good. Pictures. 1 of her delivering her speech at the city council meeting, and she looks adorable. And then there's one of her holding her chicken, her rooster, and she's like, this is my pet.
Like, I love him. You can't ban him. I'm gonna tell you what I know about Lily being 9 years old, holding mister Mohawk. She has a cast on her other arm. She does.
She's hardcore. I know. I know. Lily doesn't mess around. No.
She's she's not she's not going down without a fight. No way. And she breaks bones. So I know. Watch out.
Good for her. I, I like that she did it the right way. That's how you do it. You wanna you wanna impact change. You gotta show up where you need to show up.
You can't just be sad and complain about it. So good parenting to say, hey. You wanna go? Let's go. Fight for it.
Let's go. You gotta go fight for it. You don't want mister Mohawk out of here? There's a way we can do it. Good for that family.
Like it. And I'm glad mister Mohawk, he doesn't care. He's just gonna You just tell me where I need to be. That's right. Throw me some more seeds.
Thanks. As you probably have heard, J. Lo and Ben are divorcing. Yes. I just read she has been engaged 6 different times.
She has been married 1, 2, 3, 4. Four different times. So she's been engaged 6, married 4. Mhmm. She is known to not give back engagement rings or wedding ring rings when relationships go sour.
So she has a $17,000,000 ring collection. No way. Way. That's a lot. Quite a retirement plan.
$17,000,000 worth of just engagement and wedding rings. Yes. That's incredible. Yes. Her first marriage was to a guy named Ohanae Noah.
Uh-huh. That engagement ring cost a $130,000. That is the cheapest. That's the least expensive? A $130,000?
Yep. And that guy is probably like, that was a big deal. I'm sure it's a that is a huge deal. How do you feel about not giving the ring back? Do you feel like that like, this is I I don't know I don't know that I necessarily have a horse in this race.
I don't know that I carry either way. But it it's a it's given to Yeah. It's a gift. Yeah. So I You can't take gifts back?
I'm just asking. Do you if if the engagement is called off or if the wedding is called off, is that something you give back? I would say wedding I would say keep it every time. You've been married. You've you've you've whatever.
That's yours. And I think the engagement ring is definitely yours as well. But if the engagement is called off, do you feel a sense of obligation to give that back? I guess it depends on who calls it off. Okay.
That's fair. If I'm given an engagement ring and I call it off and then I keep the ring, shame on me. But if you fair. Give me an engagement ring and you call it off, I'm like, I'm keeping this. Okay.
I feel like I I get to keep it either way because it's a gift. Yeah. It was given to me. I don't again, I don't really think I have an opinion about it. I don't really care either way because I'm good, but I'm just curious if that sense of, I don't think you give it back.
Give that back. No. I think it's a gift. You get to keep it. The most expensive engagement ring she got was from Marc Anthony Uh-huh.
$6,500,000. For a ring. That's on the phone. Ben Affleck was $5,600,000. Now you know why it's not lasting.
Total accumulation of didn't step up his game. Yeah. Right. Holy cow. 17,000,000 Unbelievable.
Dollars worth of engagement and wedding rings. Did you know there are actually state laws that say, and I'm trying to figure out which states say that you would have to give the ring back. There are some states that say you do. Yeah. Really?
Yeah. There's actually whether you need to give the engagement ring back after a breakup depends on the circumstances and the laws in your state. There's an unconditional gift thing, like, some states like Montana consider an engagement ring an unconditional gift, meaning the recipient can keep it even if the wedding doesn't happen. So in Montana, they're like, it's yours. Yeah.
There's a no fault conditional gift, which most states use this gift approach where the gift giver keeps the ring regardless of who ended the engagement. Interesting. Yep. Fault based, which some states like Alabama, Alaska, Kentucky, Massachusetts, and New Hampshire use a fault based approach where the person who called off the wedding doesn't get the ring. That's what you said.
And then there's an implied gift, which some jurisdictions consider the ring as an implied gift where ownership depends on who calls off the wedding. If the giver breaks off the engagement, they don't get it back, but the recipient breaks it off, then they are asked to give the ring back. So state by state. But you're right about the gift thing. 7,000,000.
17 $17,000,000. Unreal. Yeah. I need to get into this retirement plan, Gabe. No.
You don't. Josh, I don't have to marry them. I just have to get engagement rings from them. I see. What's the Idaho law?
I don't know. Oh. But I hate it, whatever it is. The Tennessee state fair held the brand new husband calling competition. Okay.
They've had these husband calling competitions at other fairs, I feel like. They have. But this year, Tennessee said I want to get in on this game. Okay. So this is where wives and partners do their best husband calls.
Do you ever feel like you have to holler to get me to, show up? Yes. You do? Yes. Like, you feel like you have to go out on the back porch and holler?
No. I don't holler. Like because I feel like that's what's happening here. These are like, like, if we were in Tennessee, it would be like, Josh. Mine is more like a, Josh.
Yeah. No. I've heard that. And then like a, Josh. I And then like a and then I never hear that one.
Have exasperation. I go Yeah. And then if I why isn't he listening? Why can't he hear me? I feel like I'm talking really loud.
And then I go, Josh. Here's some audio from the state fair. Wake up. I hear something outside. Can you pick up and find out what it is?
Okay. That one, I don't like. I don't like the wake up. I hear something outside. I don't care for that one.
I don't honestly, I don't like much of this so far. No. I don't either. These are awful. I'm glad you don't go gosh like I'm book in hocus pocus.
They may need to go. I don't care for that either. I this is a wild ride. Let's see what's next. Oi.

So 5th grade was a time That might have been when I developed a lot of my anxiety too in 3rd grade. Here's what happened. We had heard some negative things about this particular teacher. Oh. And then my mom talked to a mutual friend, and the mutual friend said, oh, no.
You know what? It's gonna be okay because I got my daughter in there too. So at least Chantel and my daughter will have each other. And then she took her daughter out of the class. Yeah.
