Full show transcript:
There is a woman going viral on TikTok because she doesn't follow the instructions on a box of Kraft mac and cheese. She said, who actually puts four tablespoons of butter in one box?
Okay, hold on. That's a half a stick of butter. I understand it is, but I don't, I follow the directions based on the ingredients, but I do not make it the way the box tells you, because I don't like putting the powder into the macaroni.
Right. I take the half a stick of butter and I melt it in the microwave and then I mix the powder and the milk in it and I leave that sitting on the side. And then when my macaroni is done and drained, I then add my cheese mix that's liquid now into the noodles and it tastes better. When I first met you and you made macaroni and cheese that way, I was like, that's actually brilliant. I hate that powder. You can't adequately, it gets all chunky in your noodles.
Because I used to do, I haven't made this in a very long time, but you do the butter in the noodles, wait for the butter to melt in the hot noodles, then you add your milk and your packet of cheese and combine all of that. No way. Yeah, wait. Mix it in a separate bowl. That's the way it's better. It just is because the cheese gets a chance to break down.
All that powder gets to hydrate. So she's going viral because she thinks that's too much butter. There are other people who are like, that's not enough butter.
How is that not enough? Somebody said I put a stick of butter in mine. Good Lord. That's too soupy. That's cheese soup. That's butter soup.
One person said that they added mayonnaise. Okay. All right.
I'm curious about that. No, mayonnaise is gross. No, it's not. And then somebody said, because the recipe is six cups of water, four tablespoons of butter and a quarter cup of milk.
That's what you need. And somebody said, who actually measures the six cups of water? Yeah, I don't measure water. No, I put water in the pot because I'm just throwing it away after it boils my noodles. Yeah. So people will use mayonnaise instead of butter in their mac and cheese.
So they're not adding it also. I'm really curious to try that. I am not. I don't like mayonnaise. And you can and people are able to use less butter, like less of it.
Like they'll only use a spoonful of mayonnaise instead of half a stick of butter. I am really interesting. I'm not. I'm not.
I am not. Oh, wow. Interesting. Interesting.
Interesting. No, no. mayonnaise is gross.
No, it's not. And it's great in macaroni. Macaroni salad. Yum. Extra mayo in that bad boy. Yum, yum.
Two yums. Whoa. I know.
Sometimes macaroni salad has too much mayonnaise. You're wrong. You are. No, I'm not.
No, I'm not. Somebody says they use sour cream instead of milk, which I think is interesting. Huh.
That is interesting. Somebody here said I worked at Five Guys for a few years and this is how we make grilled cheese. They use mayonnaise as a substitute for butter and milk. So instead of butter and milk, they're just using mayo and mixing with the cheese.
I had a grilled cheese at Five Guys once. And what did I say? I don't remember. I said it. Too much mayo? No, I said please if I ever want to order this again, remind me that it was not a good decision.
Okay. I did not like their grilled cheese sandwich. Because they use mayo.
I don't know what they, I just didn't like it. Okay. Well, good to know. Interesting.
Okay. Well, I'm going to try it. I'm going to try it with the mayonnaise instead.
When was the last time you had macaroni cheese? A lot of people are saying, are you insane? Like, they don't like this idea, but... I don't like the mayonnaise idea either, because gross. What if it's the best mac and cheese you've ever had?
I actually kind of think that sounds good because I mean macaroni cheese, not with mayo. Because I haven't had that in a long time. We're talking a lot about stuff we haven't had in a long time today. Little nostalgia in the show? Sure is.
Cereal box toys? Shh. Don't give away any spoilers. Just look at the time stamps or the description. It tells you what's in the show.
It's not a spoiler. Jump around. Go check out the cereal bit before you listen to this part. I mean, whatever. You can jump around. Jump around.
Jump up, jump up and get down. All right. Here's today's show. Well, hey, good morning.
Good morning. I was just scrolling through the internet. I stumbled across a fun fact about Tootsie Rolls. I thought I would share with you. Usually I bring the fun facts. Well, yeah, this one's an early morning fun fact. Early morning fun fact.
Because I just accidentally stumbled across it. So the Tootsie Roll recipe from 1896, it requires that the batch of the previous day be incorporated into the new batch for today. So that would mean, based upon that recipe, every piece of Tootsie Roll has a trace of original 1896 Tootsie Roll. Gross.
Because of the way it's made. Gross. You have to incorporate a portion of yesterday's batch into today's.
It kind of grosses me out a bit. So what I want to know is the very first batch, what did that taste like? Because the second batch would have had the first batch in it. And that would be what Tootsie Rolls tastes like now. What did the first batch taste like?
Interesting, Josh. What year? 1896. 1896. That's right. That's a long time ago. Tootsie Rolls. Yeah. Who, why did they decide to do that?
What was the reasoning behind that? Oh, you think I have more information. And I thought you did, yes.
No, I don't. But someone did say, Kit Kat is part of an endless chocolate cycle. Broken or rejected bars are crushed blended and used as the creamy filling between new wafers. Say that again. Broken? Every Kit Kat is part of an endless chocolate cycle. The broken or rejected Kit Kat bars are then crushed blended and used as the creamy filling between new wafers.
No way. And if those two are imperfect, they are recycled again, creating a loop of Kit Kat's within Kit Kat's within Kit Kat's. Never ending cycle. Okay. I do appreciate the recycling aspect of it. Like, sounds like they're not wasting a lot. That's a good point. So I appreciate that. And that's all I have to say about your fun fact. Okay. All right.
And they are saying that the trace is long gone even after a few iterations. So you may as well say that each Tootsie roll contains a bit of dinosaur in it, which I don't think that's true because dinosaurs weren't around in 1897. Seven. 1896. You said 97. It's been 1896. I wrote down 1897.
Well, you wrote down the wrong date. That's what you're doing. So I don't know what to tell you. Well.
Well, well, that solves it then. Good morning. Today happens to be nurses day, which is, which is also like it's awesome. Like yesterday we got to talk a little bit about teachers. Today it is national nurses day, a day to thank the hardworking nurses out there who do a lot. So much.
A lot. So thank you nurses. Jim Ruff was driving through Mill Creek Township, Pennsylvania on his way to meet his grandson for a Saturday morning breakfast when his heart unexpectedly stopped while he was behind the wheel. As his truck began drifting through front yards in a neighborhood, it looked like a tragedy in the making until Colleen Schnekl drove by. And luckily for Jim, Colleen wasn't just a witness to the commotion. She is an ICU assistant nurse manager who immediately knew this was not a nap. It was a life or death emergency. Dressed for a bridal shower and standing in the pouring rain, she jumped out, jumped into action after her father helped break the truck window to get Jim out. Colleen performed life saving CPR on the front lawn until paramedics were able to arrive. Jim woke up in the ER a few days later calling it a miracle that a trained professional was the one to pull over. Colleen was in the right place at the right time to save Jim's life. And after a brief stay at the hospital, Jim was discharged feeling great back on his feet while the whole adventure was scary for everyone involved. Colleen took it all in stride. She said, I think it's just my nursing instinct.
You see someone that needs help, you jump in. I really didn't think twice about it. That's awesome. Well done. Way to go.
Way to be a hero. Yeah. That is good news. That's pretty good news. Hey.
What's up? I feel like that's a new t-shirt that you're wearing. It's not. It's one that I've had a while. I just took it out of the closet. I haven't worn it in a long time.
I was going to say, I haven't seen that. I feel like you have maybe 10 t-shirts that you just kind of cycle through. It's because they fit well. I have a lot of shirts in the closet. I have probably four t-shirts, I think, that they're the right size, but they just fit a little tight.
And so I don't wear those regularly, but I have them around because I like them a lot. So that's my motorcycle shirt. There's a fly fishing shirt.
There's a vans t-shirt. I'm trying to remember the other one. Anyway, they're all together. The way my closet's organized, I've got everything grouped together. And so I always know, which I appreciate that when you put my clothes away, you put them away.
I thank you, but that'll break my system. I don't put them away anymore. I used to. Sometimes, like if I'm out of town or something, you'll throw them on hangers and put them in there and that's fine. But then I have a lot of t-shirts that I wear regularly and cycle through.
And there's probably 12 or 13 or so. And then I have a bunch of button ups, but I didn't feel like wearing one of those today. Usually, only wear those if I'm wearing pants. Occasionally, a button up with shorts will go, you know what I'm saying? But that's more of a pants thing. You have some bottoms that are going with your butt.
Well, yeah. I'm wearing shorts with my t-shirt. I feel like wearing a butt cap. No, not running around like Winnie the Pooh, Captain Underpants or anybody else. No.
Okay. I just haven't seen that one in a while. So I was like, hey, new shirt. So I have another shirt of one of my fishing shirts that's the same color.
And I often will be flipping through my clothes and go, oh, that's clean. And it's this shirt. And I'm like, I don't want to wear that today. Because I like that other shirt better.
And it's the same color. Just because of the way that it fits? This one fits okay. I was a little, I thought this one might have been too tight. It is a little short.
Sometimes shirts ride up. And I don't care for that. Yeah, I like it. And this one's, this one's a little short. I like a longer shirt. For some reason, they like to make women's shirts real short.
And then I go like the whole bottom half is missing sometimes. Yes. Yes. And I go, what, where's the rest of my shirt? And it's still hanging on the rack. I'm not paying full price for this half a shirt.
I know. But I hear you, I have a huge selection of clothes. And I wear the same things over and over and over because I feel comfortable in them.
They fit well. The rest of the clothes in my closet. I'm like, no, not today. This shirt happens to be a reminder to anyone who reads it. And I think that's important. It just has one word on it. And it says kindness. Kindness.
I didn't know you were waiting for me to say it. Oh, I just, it's a message for anyone who reads it. It says kindness. It is a nice shirt. It's just a strong message.
Single word, just kindness. It's a reminder. Maybe try that. I like it. I like it too. Good new shirt.
Thanks. I mean, it's been in my closet for a year or two. But here's what else I'm thinking. You and I, I feel like we just are wearing the same, we're just recycling the same clothes over and over and over. Maybe we should do a shopping trip. Why?
Because we need new clothes. I'm great. Oh, fine. I'll go on a shopping trip. I mean, I'll pick up a couple of new shirts or something, but I don't, I'm always good for a new hat. I'm not struggling for clothes. Okay.
I am. You just don't like anything you have. No, I hate everything that I have.
I don't know what to tell you about that. I'm going to go do some shopping. All right.
I'll go alone since you don't want to go. I mean, maybe you can get yourself a new hat. I just barely got into my summer clothes. I've been, I've been stuck in pants for months and now I've got a whole drawer of shorts. So I'm, I'm like already refreshed.
Yeah. Yeah, I have, I have summer clothes too, but my legs are so pasty white. I got to do something about them before I go outside. I'm tired. Working the yard. I'm tanned up almost.
Even on your legs? Yeah. Well, congratulations.
Thanks. Just spend a little time out in the sunshine, you know? Be cautious. Don't, don't overdo it. Don't sunburn, you know, but go have some sunlight. It'll tan you up. That's what it does. It would if it wasn't so windy all the time. It's Idaho.
It's going to be windy all the time. Well, nice shirt. We were talking about the Met Gala. I was talking about the Met Gala with some co-workers yesterday. We were talking about how Madonna had a ship on her head. What kind of ship was it? Do you know?
Pirate. Was it like, wasn't anything, didn't have any meaning or anything? It doesn't matter.
Okay. So what brought up the question that I now want to ask is a co-worker of mine said, out of all of the high-end fancy events, that's probably the one that I would like to go to. If I had unnecessary money, that's the one I would pay to attend. And I- Like in high fashion or just as a spectator? No, in high fashion. Okay. And then I went, hmm, which high-end fancy event would I like to attend?
Did you ever come up with an answer? I know because I look at some of the ones, so I looked up just like high-end fancy events. And there's the Formula One, Monaco Grand Prix.
Right, which is a big race. There's the Cannes Film Festival. The Cannes. Cannes.
I'm not fancy enough for any of these places. Right. The Wimbledon Championships.
Which is tennis. The Venice Film Festival. Okay.
The Dubai World Cup. Okay. Burning Man is on this list.
I don't know what, okay. But I didn't think that that was necessarily high-end. It might be if you are flying in, like celebs that go will fly in and they have their own space in there. Okay. So there's, I think it's not just like the normal experience.
Okay. And then they have like operas, the Vienna Opera Ball, and the Oscar after parties and different things. And I go, I just don't necessarily care about attending any of these. One, I'd rather spend my money on something else. Two, I don't necessarily want to hobnob with any of these people.
Okay. And three, they all sound so boring. What about you?
Do you have one that you like? Well, would you ever want to go to the, is it the World Economic Forum? Is that the one that they do in Sun Valley? I don't know. I think that is the one. An Economic Forum? No, that one happens in Switzerland. There is, there's like a big, big, like, they call it the summer camp for the rich in Sun Valley every year.
Okay. And like everybody flies into Sun Valley and they go to their little cabins and do their little celeb thing in Sun Valley, Idaho. So that's a thing that happens. It'd be easily accessible.
You know, it's like right there. Okay. Not that again, but for what? So I can hang out with these people. I don't want to. Exactly.
Oh, no, thank you. I don't want to hang out with any of these people doing this stuff that they do. If I had the kind of money that it takes to buy a ticket to one of these things, I would just go travel without all this snobby rich people. Okay.
I don't want to hang out with them. Well, here are the benefits for, for going to some of these high end events. Well, you said, okay, so you brought up like a Disneyland. There's like a Disneyland. There's an exclusive club, Club 33.
That's right. Yeah, the 33 Club at Disney. I don't like Disney that much.
Okay. I'm just saying like, I've never been. So I don't know anything about it.
I don't know what all that's about. Under the radar privacy for these invite only events, that's kind of a big deal. You get, you get to sort of let loose because they will have like no social media policies. They're often set in like really private exclusive areas. So you don't have paparazzi or the general public around. So it gives you a chance to sort of let your guard down for people that are constantly in a spotlight. Immersive and personalized experiences because they'll have tailored wardrobe experience, personal stylus, behind the scenes access to different artists and stuff like that. So you might get to meet people that otherwise you would not. So there's that.
Yeah. Extraordinary locations because these are usually held and sometimes in places that general public does not have access to. So if there was like a castle or something that was hosting one of these events or being hosted at a castle that you couldn't get into, that might be interesting. Yeah. But do you have to be there with a bunch of other people? Yes. Yes, you do.
That's the part I go, no, thank you. Because guess what? There's a lot of rich people that I don't like. Sure. That are always at these high-end fancy events. Yeah. Like the Kardashians. I know. I don't never want to be anywhere they are. Right.
High-end hospitality from Michelin-starred catering, private chefs, personalized services like that. And then of course, all of the, you know, just the whole experience of being able to say, I did that. I've been a part of that.
No. That's, those are like what they're listening at, listening as the perks of being at these events. Those are some of the things. I just look at the list of these high-end events and I go, no, they all sound so lame. You don't want to go to a prestigious five-day high-fashion horse racing event in the UK called the Royal Ascot? No. Sure don't. Okay.
I really do not. I was just keeping poor, hanging out with a fire pit in my backyard. That sounds more fun, doesn't it? It sounds like a good plan. Yeah.
It's way less expensive. We can have our own privacy and no Kardashians. And they, no Kardashians. Win, win. I was talking to Emery last night. I asked her if Skibbity Riz, Ohio was still cool. I don't think it is.
She just walked away. Yeah. No kidding.
No. So then I went, well, I know I can't keep up with what's still in and what's not. But I will say that I was just reading something that says the one slang word that has stood the test of time. Can you take a guess? Dude. A dude is probably still around. I use dude a lot. I use dude a lot too.
What's up dude? Do you use that when talking to females and males? Yeah, everybody's a dude. I'm a dude. He's a dude. She's a dude. We're all dudes. I call everyone guys. Hey guys, what's up guys?
Good to see you guys. A dude. Some people have been offended by that. I'm not offended if you call me a dude. I'm not calling you a dude.
I'm calling you dude. There's a difference. It's the A. I'm not saying you're a dude. I'm saying, what's up dude?
Yeah. I'm a dude. He's a dude.
Right. She's a dude. We're all dudes. Hey. Yeah. Thank you.
Keenan and Kel. The other word that has stood the test of time, the other slang word is cool. Oh, that's cool. Yeah. When did cool start meaning like what it means, you know, like to be cool? I don't know.
Cool ranch Doritos maybe? No. No. Yuck. But cool. Cool is, it's like a laid back slang term. Like, oh, that's cool. It's been around for almost 100 years.
No way. It emerged as slang in the 1930s and 40s. Early 20th century slang used it to mean excellent, which excellent became a big thing in the 90s as well. It was the 1940s jazz icons like Lester Young, who popularized as described as a relaxed, detached and emotionally controlled cool aesthetic. It was separating it from the hot jazz of the previous eras. That's hot jazz. This is cool jazz. That's where it comes from. It comes from cool jazz. Cool jazz.
Yep. In the 1920s and 30s is when it kind of first started to appear. And then by the time of the 40s, it was pretty much on the rise then. And in the 50s, it became mainstream. And it's just stuck around since then. It has stuck around since then.
One of the few slang words that has been around for generations. That is very true and very cool of cool to be so cool. Cool is still cool. Yeah. It is skibbity cool. No, it is not. But stay cool.
Cool is buzzin'. No, it is not. Okay.
I have some big, exciting news. Okay. Behind you on the TV is the Friends of Big Bear Valley Eagle Cam.
Yes. We know that we have the parent eagles. Jackie and Shadow. Jackie and Shadow. And last year, the two eaglets that survived and fledged.
Sonny and Gizmo. They have a contest that they do where they have third graders vote on the names of the new baby eagles. And this process has happened and they now have names.
What are their names? Luna. Luna is chick number two who hatched on April 5th. Generally more aggressive Luna. That checks out.
Yeah, it does. We have a Luna who's a little aggressive. That's right. And the other one is Sandy hatched on April 4th, typically larger with a more submissive demeanor.
Oh. Sandy was named after Sandy Steers who helped bring the Friends of Big Bear Valley Eagle Cam to life. And so that's kind of fun. So you have Sandy and Luna, the 2026 baby eaglets. And there they are on the TV. Cute.
Yeah. Sandy and Luna. You can watch them on YouTube. We watch them every day. We try to check in on the eagles and see what they're up to.
Yeah. Usually they're eating breakfast about this time. Today there's a little bit of a cloudy haze reflected in the water that's kind of pretty. And it's just sunrise there in Big Bear Valley.
So they're kind of just waking up and getting the day going. But it's two baby eagles. And one of the parent eagles on the perch there, on the front porch. This is my favorite time for the eaglets because their feet are too big for their body.
Yeah. And so they try to move around and they just kind of flop about with their big giant yellow feet. Yesterday morning they ate a fish for breakfast. It was like a half a fish. I think somebody ate the other half. The dad.
Yeah. I think Chad ate the other half of the fish before he brought it to the nest. Half of the fish was missing. And it was also like a yellow color.
I don't know where he found it. I was Jackie. I'd be like, this is what you brought?
Yeah. I would be like, we are not scavengers. We are not magpies. I mean, no, but they literally are scavengers. Like they're part of what they do. They hunt. They're a bird of prey, but they also get a fresh fish.
Yeah. But I found this half of one. We're not a magpie. Go get a fresh fish. Yeah. Not this scavenger crud.
But I found it. That's cute. Luna and Sandy are the new. That is correct.
Yep. Sandy and Luna are the new babies. When I haven't been paying as much attention to these ones as I had the last ones last year's Eglips. Yeah.
When will they start to fledge? Do you know? Sorry that I caught you unawares. Hang on just a second. I believe.
I mean, I don't think it's. So Gizmo, Gizmo fledged on June 7th. Oh, last year? Yeah. So they're still a month. Okay. I was going to say they still look awfully young.
Yeah. The they haven't even started in May of 25. Both took their first flights around early June.
Because we were watching last year and remember we would see them. They would get awfully close to the edge of the nest. These guys aren't even really walking around yet, but then they would start to kind of spread their wings a little bit and kind of.
Yeah. These guys are still fuzzy. They don't even have their main flying feathers yet.
No, we still have them. They've got a month still before they're ready to even start hopping around and flapping wings. But look how crazy it is a month.
Oh, I know. They hatched a month ago. So they're a month old already and they're huge. Grown exponentially.
Big time. And another month, they'll be fully winged and ready to fledge out, which will be pretty fun. So anyway, there you go. Luna and Sandy, how cute. Yep. Check out these eagles at the Big Bear Valley Eagle Cam on YouTube.
On YouTube. Yep. Hey, hey, what's up? I don't know.
Oh, I just, why'd you say it like that? Hey. Okay. So I saw this idea on Pinterest and I've talked about this before years and years and years ago. You're still on Pinterest.
No, no, no. I mean, every now and then I'll get on Pinterest. I just was surprised to hear the word Pinterest. I actually like interest in a long time onto it the other day. And I was like, look at all these ideas that I had when I was young and motivated.
I got a login of my old Pinterest. Let's see what's still there. Go ahead while you're talking. I'm going to do that. Are you going to be listening? You know it.
No, I don't think that you will be. Go ahead. Let's try it out.
When Beck was young and in elementary school, I saw this idea on Pinterest where you take a book, Oh, the places you'll go by Dr. Seuss. Yes. And you can have their teachers. Right. Sign it. And then when they graduate, you give it to them when they graduate. And so I have been doing this with my kids for years and years and years. And normally I forget about it until the very last day of school. And then it's scrambled to get their teachers and be like, Hey, listen, I know you've got one foot out the door. You're ready to start your summer vacation. Can you please start this? Please sign this book. Please, please, please.
And then it's just scrambled to try and get it done. I am ahead of the game this year because I emailed teachers. I mean, we've got a couple of weeks left to school, email teachers and I said, Hey, can you please sign this book? Yeah, there you go. Look, look at you go. Look at me go.
Yeah. I was quite impressed with myself. Quite impressed.
All right. I got into my Pinterest. And upstairs bathroom, theater, basement, game room, Bex room, Emory's room, deck stuff, cookie party recipes.
Oh, cookie party. Home DIYs, running stuff, pond things. We just ripped out the pond. I don't have a pond.
No more pond. Another cookie party board. This board is called food kitchen, something called secret kitchen. It's a secret kitchen. I don't know.
Secret kitchen. Yeah. Ideas, books, geocaching, home, geekdom, must haves, ha ha's, photo ideas and camp flags, which we did make a camp flag. That goes, it lives in the trailer.
And when we go camping, we put out the camp flag. That's right. So those are all my boards. Good job.
Do you still like all the projects on your boards? I don't know. I haven't looked in here in forever.
Because I looked at mine not too long ago and I was like, look at all the cool things I was going to do. Upstairs bathroom has kind of a rustic feel. It's got these pipe hooks that we ended up building. So those exist in the bathroom. There's some color scheme things in here. There is a book page wallpaper that we did do in the bathroom. It needs to be redone, but we have done it. Because you get bored and peel at it.
That's not true. It has been coming apart because I think what happened was we ran out of wallpaper glue when we were doing it. And so then it was made of cornstarch and water. We didn't run out.
What happened then? Cause we mod podged some of it. Yeah, we did. It was all just cornstarch and water because that's exactly what this recipe on this pin is telling me to do. Except I know that we used some mod podge too. So I think maybe you started using mod podge and I went, that's not what you're supposed to do. It's just cornstarch and water.
Mod podge is water based so you can remove it out way too. No way. Yeah, way.
The point is. Parts of it started to come undone so then I would just rip it off. But I really, I want to redo it.
You want to do the same thing or you want something totally new? Cause I like a bold wallpaper. I do too. And I think having a bold wallpaper would be a lot of fun.
I do too. I'm talking crazy. How crazy?
Very. I don't know. I don't know.
Because I do want to do something crazy but not crazy, Josh. I'm talking like maximized. No. Yeah. Like I want to look max the bathroom.
Look maxing. What's that mean? Oh, you're not up to trends. It's fine. Rude.
I think they're cool. I found one that I wouldn't use in our home but I thought was cool. And it was a bunch of fly fishing stuff and I went, this is really cool. Fly fishing wallpaper?
Yes. See, I told you I wouldn't do it in the house but it's very cool. I already knew the reaction before I say it. But look up bold wallpaper bathrooms and you'll see what I'm talking about. No, I absolutely already know what you're talking about. I don't know about the one with the leopards in it but I'm kind of into it. I don't want that either.
But you haven't even seen it. Leopards? Yeah. No.
Like crawling around in it. No, no, no. You got to take a bold step. You got to trust me on it. I don't want to. You don't want to trust me on it?
No. It's going to be awesome. Here's what happens. Sometimes you say trust me on this and I do and it actually looks really cool and sometimes you say trust me on this when I go it's not going to work and then you go just trust me and I go it's not going to work and you go just trust me and I go okay and then it doesn't work. I.e. Yeah.
Give me examples. Chalk paint. That worked.
We had it in the kitchen for a long time. Yeah. But remember when I said it's going to make it look smaller in here? No.
And it's going to create a chalk mess? No, you had that in your head. Wrongo dude. What about this one? This one is cool. You said let's get these two giant large bean bags and put them in our theater room and I said we don't have space for two of them and you said yeah we do just trust me. We got two.
We need to now get rid of one because we don't have space for two. Right. So trust me on this wall paint. No I'm not. I will not. I don't want it. You need to. No.
I'm going to make you go like wow that was a good choice. The leopards? No. I don't know if it's the leopards. It's not the leopards. I'm just telling you you got to trust me on this. I don't know Josh. I don't want to. You don't want to trust me on the wallpaper and the color scheme that matches it. You don't trust me.
No. With a cool tile. I'm telling you I could make this a room that is unlike anything else in the house.
Oh I'm sure it'll be unlike anything else. It's not what I want. No. You got to trust me. I don't want to. It's going to be cool. I found the one right here.
What is it? You're just going to have to be surprised. No. No. Absolutely not. Nope.
I don't trust you. It's going to look cool. Get up Pinterest. The City of Idaho Falls gearing up for the annual clean and green citywide clean up. It's a partnership between the Idaho Falls Code Enforcement and the Idaho Falls Sanitation Division. What's going on is Thursday through Saturday for three consecutive weeks starting tomorrow.
There will be dumpsters available at these locations and staff will assist community members with proper sorting and disposal of household goods, construction debris, yard waste. I know. I know. So it's starting tomorrow and running through Saturday 9 a.m. to 6 p.m. Sweeper dump will be at the intersection of Lake Avenue, North Boulevard and K Street. And at Freeman Park, there will be access off Fremont Avenue. There will be a glass recycling bin set up there. So Thursday through Saturday 9 to 6 is this first one. We have a lot of yard waste. Yeah.
Yeah. Let's take our yard waste to that area. So you should bring your unwanted items to those locations Thursday through Saturday 9 a.m. to 6. They'll have dumpsters and again staff available to help you do the sorting and stuff. Certain types of waste like hazardous waste, demolition materials, tires, large appliances, select metals.
They cannot be accepted and will require alternative disposal. There's a whole flyer that'll give you more information about that. And all of this is posted at eastidohanews.com if you want to go just search for the Idaho Falls Citywide Cleanup and you'll find this info. Next week has dumpsters at the Aquatic Center parking lot as well as the corner of 7th Street and Lee Avenue and then also at Mel Erickson Sunnyside Park on the north side of Sunnyside.
And then May 21st there's a couple of things happening. The Old Butte Soccer Complex and Garfield Substation at the intersection of Northeast Bonneville Drive and Garfield Street. So for the next three weeks they'll have these remote dump sites available. And obviously you can still take your stuff to the Bonneville County Transfer Station and the Hatch Pit for disposing those things. But this is a way to kind of do it more conveniently in the city. They're setting these up so that you can get things taken care of. And here's the other thing I was just going to say because these first few weeks for sure are like everyone's trying to clean up the yard. And it's those weekend warriors that are out and about. And so sometimes the Hatch Pit and the dump get a little bit crowded. This is very true. So this is really cool.
We have some yard waste we got to get rid of. Yep. Don't remind me.
I know. No, I'm just letting you know that it's still there. You know something that I noticed in the backyard because we're working on our big beautiful backyard beautification bonanza. Right. All the dirt that I put into the trees, the bags for that new topsoil did not end up in the garbage can.
No. So they are strewn about the backyard like crazy. There is no room in the garbage can.
Yes, there is. I emptied it. It's a brand new bag. Oh, that garbage can. Oh, yeah. The one in the backyard where I put the garbage in the backyard.
I think you're talking about like the garbage can that goes to the street. No. No, I didn't put them there.
No, I know. So I've got to clean those up because they're everywhere. There's like 20 dirt bags rolling around the backyard.
I don't know what dirt bag did that. So anyway. I did that.
That's my fault. But I just assumed that there was a pile of garbage already there. And so I was like, well, I'll just throw these dirt bags in the pile of garbage already. Yeah, they'll stay there in the wind.
I didn't know there was going to be windy yesterday. Come on now. Come on now.
We did that on Sunday. That's my bad. I'm sorry.
I'll pick them up today. Quit it. Anyway, get the details at eastidonews.com if you want to participate in the citywide cleanup effort. It's all there. As we were getting ready to play kids smarts, you were talking with our grownup contestant Hillary, who just had a birthday over the weekend. And so did you on Saturday. Hers was on Sunday.
And then we've got Mother's Day coming up this week, which feels like a week early. No, no, it's usually this time. Is it usually just the second because it's usually the second Sunday. It's usually right around my dad's birthday because my dad's birthday is on the ninth. And so it usually falls right in line with his birthday. So as you guys were talking, you were talking about Mother's Day and your birthday sort of being like if you had your birthday around Christmas or something, you feel like you get slighted because Mother's Day is so close. We just had your birthday.
We can't possibly celebrate Mother's Day so soon. And you wish that they had been more spread out. So talk to me a little bit about that.
Why do you feel like your Mother's Day is slighted because of your birthday or vice versa? Because I just want to hear about that. I think you've said it all.
No, no, you don't. I don't think I have anything more to say. Tell me why you feel that way.
I don't feel that way. But I will say that I'm surprised. I was very surprised by a conversation that we were having yesterday. I was trying to buy tickets to a movie and I said, who's in on the movie? And nobody would respond.
Nobody would respond. And then Beck said, it's Mother's Day. Yeah, we can't go to a movie on Sunday. It's Mother's Day.
Yeah. And I said, it's just Mother's Day. It's just another day. Yeah, right.
Which you say that about several things. And so now I'm going like, oh, great. So now we have one of these where I really do want something, but it's just another day. So, you know, that's... No, but here's, I think sometimes it gets too much pressure and too much...
Here's what I always just want from Mother's Day. And I'm not trying to trap you. I'm not lying about this. What I really would enjoy is I enjoy a nice breakfast.
Like if I don't have to make breakfast, but I never do. Okay. So another weekend. Got it. Yeah. Just a nice breakfast. Yeah. And then maybe some flower shopping because I like to go plant flowers. Right. And that's typically the weekend to plant.
And then maybe just an hour or two where I can just kind of do what I want. Read, whatever. I really don't put that much stock into it. And I'm not... You're looking at me like that. It's a trap.
I'm serious when I say that. I'm telling you that there's more pressure on it than what you think. So... From me? You think I put more pressure on it? I'm just telling you in general, there's more pressure on it than you're presenting as, I just have breakfast and some flowers and some quiet time. There's more pressure on it than that.
From wherever it comes from. There's more expectation. There's more of all of that because there's more appreciation that you deserve than you're willing to accept probably.
Okay. So between myself and the kids, there's more pressure to do something because if it was only what you're saying, everyone would feel like that wasn't enough. But everyone is not the same.
I'm saying everyone in the house, not every human being on earth. Everyone involved in your mother's day would feel like that wasn't adequate. And that you weren't getting the most out of your mother's day. I was just shocked that my son was like, we got to do something for mother's day. I went, what? Whoa.
That was just exciting. Yeah. Well, I just, I don't feel like you've been slighted with birthday and mother's day in the past because there's more pressure put on it than you know. By me though? No.
Okay. By who? Who's putting the pressure on?
It's in the air. Because if it doesn't deliver to a certain level, there will be a, well, that was just another day kind of attitude about it that you present out the gate. It's just another day.
But if we treat it as just another day, that would be very inadequate. Does that sort of make sense? Kind of, yes. But I don't, I don't know.
I don't know the answer, Josh. Just another day, but with a... Yeah. It's not.
It's not just another day. Okay. Well then, how do you feel about Father's Day? Whatever. Oh, really? Yeah.
Because there's more pressure on it than they are. I don't think there is. What have you typically done on Father's Days? Well, if I'm not backpacking, which happens to be usually what happens. Yeah, that's usually what happens. Than something else. But like, we're, we've got plans this year, so I'm not backpacking this year on that day. We do? Yeah. What are our plans?
I don't know. Oh, we'll be at a concert that weekend. Woo-hoo! Yeah. So we're, that was my Christmas gift? Yes.
I'm getting one of my Christmas gifts that day. So, you know, I guess it's a double dip. Whatever. I feel like I make Father's Day very special. I'm not saying that you don't make Mother's Day special. That's not the intention that I'm trying to say. Right. Oh, yoyoy.
Yeah. Too much pressure. Yeah, too many stupid holidays, actually.
Too much pressure. Just if you appreciate somebody just say, hey, it's Friday. I appreciate you.
Yeah. Don't wait for Mother's Day. Well, it's coming up on Sunday.
Society. Here we go. It's coming up on Sunday.
Don't forget. For the first time in almost a decade, Kellogg's is bringing back cereal box toys. Good ones or what? Well, I don't know what they are. It's their toys are tied to Toy Story 5. So, it's promotions for Toy Story 5.
Okay. And they're going to be included in Fruit Loops, Frosted Flakes, Corn Pops, Apple Jacks, Frosted Mini Wheats. Oh, when was the last time you had Frosted Mini Wheats? That sounds kind of good.
No. I'm going to get that at the store. That's an old person cereal. I love Frosted Mini Wheats. I got to go to the store today. I'm going to get some. Yeah.
And then I'm going to get a Toy Story 5 toy. Okay. So, I'm thinking back. Here's the deal. There's always a fight over the toy. Yep. And I only had one sibling to fight with.
So, that was, you know, that was rough enough. But I'm trying to remember anything that I got in a cereal box that was like worthwhile. And the only thing that I can remember looking at this whole list is the glow in the dark wacky wall walkers. What list are you looking at?
I just found the list of like the best toys. It was, I really do remember the glow in the dark wacky wall walker that was in Fruit Loops. I'm actually surprised that you can remember what you got.
Yeah. I remember I got a canteen once out of Cookie Crisp. A canteen?
Yeah. It was a small little like water bottle canteen from Cookie Crisp. You guys got Cookie Crisp? Cookie Crisp. We never got Cookie Crisp because it was. Because you were eating frosted mini-leaf. Yuck.
Yeah. My mom never bought the Cookie Crisp because. Because it's cookies.
It was unhealthy. It's cookies. But I do remember like, I just looking through this list, like there was probably the watch like Honeycomb did a watch. I probably had some of that stuff because you know, I got to try different serials, but I don't remember like. They had like.
The watch is pretty serious. The yo-yo from Sugar Bear from Sugar, from the Sugar Snaps. I never got those yet. That was a big deal. I always remember like color changing stuff. Okay. Yeah.
Like color changing spoon. Yeah. That was a big deal. Yeah. I had, I had two siblings, but my sister was much older than I was.
Oh, here we go. So much older. So she was very mature. So I never really fought with her over the toy because I don't think she cared enough. And she always thought me and my brother were immature anyway.
So she probably would have been like, whatever, have a, I don't even care. Yeah. So it was just me and my brother fighting over it. And guess who always won? Your brother. No. Oh, because you're the baby you won because your mom went just give it to her. That's what happened.
My boy brother. I do remember the honeycomb watch. I think was, was, was pretty cool.
Just a little digital watch plastic band. No big deal. Absolutely.
Remember the glow in the dark wacky wall walker, 100%. If you look up cookie crisp cereal canteen, there's two, there's. There's one available for sale on eBay right now. Okay.
999. Dude, a canteen. I'm just, how did they fit that in the box?
It wasn't very big. Whoa. Yeah. That's a big deal, Josh.
Oh, and as a matter of fact, I'm looking at it right now. It came on the outside of the box. It was Saran wrapped to the outside of the free snack in canteen. Remember.
And so what it did is it had a, I had a cup on the bottom that you could put your cookie crisp in and then you put your milk in the canteen and then it was a to go thing for your dope. Yeah. That is cool. Yep. I had that. Cool. I had that. What color is it?
I think mine was green or yellow. Remember there used to be, they stopped doing toys for a while and then you could like mail away. There was like a little slip of paper or something on the box. It's not the same. And you had to mail away for your toy. Yeah. And I was like, mom, we got to do this. And she was like, I don't have a stamp.
We can't. So I never got those. Serial premiums, they call them in the industry. Promotional toys or items packed inside cereal boxes was a big thing between the 50s and the 90s.
And then now Kellogg's is doing there. Okay. It looks like a toy story, toy story spoon or something from what I can see. It is. Yeah. It's a collectible spoon figurine. Interesting.
So I don't even know if it's a functioning thing. Okay. Well, I'm going to get my box of, oh it is.
You take the head off and then you can use the spoon. I'm going to get my box of frosted mini-weights and we'll get the toy. I don't want it. I don't like that cereal.
I do. A yuck. You don't have to eat the cereal. I'll eat the cereal. Doesn't this sound good?
No. Frosted mini-weights are so good. I haven't had cereal in so long. I have honey nut Cheerios right behind you.
That's not frosted mini-weights. I want a wacky wall walker again. I kind of think it'll be fun if we do this because then we can show our kids the magic of finding a toy inside your cereal box. Yeah, and they can fight over it. Yay. Doesn't that sound fun? Yeah.
It sounds like a great time. And I'm sure that wacky wall walker got dirty in about two seconds and then wasn't sticky anymore. Oh, of course. There was also, I remember the Garfield with the reflector eyes for your bike. That was very cool. I remember that as one of the toys that I remember seeing those. I don't remember if I had that, but I definitely remember seeing that.
That was very cool. I just looked up why they stopped putting toys in cereal boxes. Choking hazards. There was a lot of lawsuits regarding choking hazards. And then there was some environmental concerns regarding plastic waste. Well, let's put some more microplastics in our cereal.
That sounds good. Yeah, a little plastic spoon. Does not waste at all.
No. What would you want as a toy? What would be a toy that was in there that you were like, I'm buying this because of the toy? And don't tell me it's this Toy Story 5 Spoon because that's not it. It's not even a good cereal. It's not. It's in lots of cereal boxes, bro.
Did you not even hear? No, I heard you talking about frosted mini-weeds. It's in all kinds. It wasn't just frosted mini-weeds. I was listing them and then I got stopped at frosted. It was like in frosted flakes and cocoa puffs and corn pops. Corn pops?
Yeah. Name a good cereal. Corn pops is good. No. I said cocoa puffs.
Not really that great. I like cocoa puffs. The only good part about cocoa puffs is the chocolate milk at the end. Corn pops is good.
No, it's not. I like corn pops. Good for you. Hey, would you rather this or that? Would you rather eat a lunchable every day for a month or a cup of noodle every day for a month? And the lunchable has to be the pizza kind and the cup of noodle has to be the shrimp kind. Well, then I'm doing the lunchable. You're going to make me eat the shrimp one.
It's gross. You made that easy. Okay, go back to a regular lunchable and a chicken cup of noodle. Do I have to eat the veggies? No, nobody eats the veggies. That's why I have to ask.
Because you make things horrible. No, you dump the veggies out. Yeah, I do.
Everybody does. It was the last time we had a lunchable. It's been a while. The meat in there is thick. Why do you have a problem with that? Because it's thick. Why is that a problem?
And it's wet. Why is that a problem? Because it's gross.
Why? Everybody likes it except you. No, I'm guaranteed there are more people who think that's gross.
No, everybody's like, I like thick wet ham on a cracker with a kind of a crispy-ish cheese and one Oreo. And if you're lucky, your mom might have bought you the one with the Capri Sun. If you're lucky. Actually, I don't think they come without Capri Sun.
Oh yeah, they do. Remember there was like a fancy lunchable? No, I remember. And you could get like a little packet of mustard? No. And you could squeeze it? No. Lucky would...
I do. Was that a lunchable or was that something else? It was a fancy lunchable. Was it a lunchable brand?
I don't know. No way. Lunchables never come with mustard. Why would it come with mustard?
Kids don't eat mustard. All right, settle down. What are you picking? Lunchable or the cup of noodle? I'm picking cup of noodle because lunchables are gross. No, I want that ham and I want that turkey and I want those crackers and I want that Andes mint because that's what they used to come with. I remember that. I'm looking at a Lunchables deluxe, which was turkey and ham with Swiss and cheddar. Oh.
And it came with the Andes mint and you're not going to believe it. Tell me. Dijon mustard. I told you. It was a Lunchables deluxe. I told you and I knew it was like a Dijon mustard.
I knew it. And you could... It would come out the middle. Like you would squeeze it and it would... There was like a... Is that right?
Preparation in the middle. I mean, I'm seeing it. I don't remember ever having it. Oh, I'm sorry for you. I had that Dijon mustard. Yeah. And you'd wash it down with your fancy Canadian laundry.
Clearly Canadian. Where do you find that? Lunchable with mustard is what I Googled. And it's right there at the very first thing. You see it in this little squeeze packet. The squeeze packet. Oh man. What are you picking? You haven't picked. Lunchable.
Because I want that turkey and ham and cheese. Yeah. See that packet? Yeah. I know. I talked about it four minutes ago. I do. I know I needed to see it for myself. Yeah. Oh man. That was... I can remember exactly what that tastes like. Yeah?
Yep. Probably pretty gross. If I had to guess. Do they make the mustard anymore? Those with the mustard?
They quit making mustard. Nope. See?
They've been discontinued. Yep. Told you. Yep. Yep.
Dang it. Would you rather this or that? I have been talking about... I guess you and I talked about this. And how we like a good bisque off.
And a ginger ale. Yeah. And now you're not going to be able to get that on one specific airline. Yeah.
You told me this yesterday. And I think it's disappointing. It is disappointing. Because I know flying is not inexpensive. It costs money to fly. Yes it does. And the very least that the airline could do besides providing you the seat that you pay for is to give you a little ginger ale and a bisque off.
Give me a complimentary snack. But Delta said no. Yeah. Only if you're in first class, they said. What is this about?
What is this about? Just give me a ginger ale. I got a nutset stomach from motion. Yeah. Well, you're going to have to bring your own bisque off and your own ginger ale.
Because complimentary snacks and drinks are being cut on many short flights. Yeah. What was it? 350 miles? Yeah. If it's 349 miles or less. So if it's a flight from New York to Boston, we've taken that flight. If it's from LA to San Francisco, if it's Atlanta to Charlotte, you will no longer get an in-flight beverage or snack service unless you're in first class. That is rude.
I think that's rude. It affects about 450 Delta flights a day. Flights that are 350 miles or longer will still get full service. And Delta says the change isn't just about cutting costs. Yes, it is.
On very short flights, crews often have 15 minutes or less to safely complete drink service, which can lead to rushed and inconsistent experiences. Okay. I disagree. Having taken that flight from New York to Boston. Hold on. Well, and we went from Newark. We did take that flight. And I do remember it was a quick, it was a real quick flight.
But I appreciated a treat. I did too, but I do remember thinking because we were kind of toward the back. And I remember when they were coming down the aisle with the cart service, I remember thinking, they're not going to get to us in time. You're a time spaz though. Like you get crazy about time. But I do remember thinking we're not going to get our snack because we're going to have landed by that time. Right. So I do agree that it's probably very chaotic and stressful for the crew to try and get down the aisle and then get all of the garbage and then buckle up as they land. I'm, I'm with them on that. Cause I was worried for them as well.
And I was like, I'm not going to get my ginger ale in time. I just know it. So you're saying that the reason that they can afford to do this for first class is because first class is seated first. So they're sitting there waiting and they have their own separate staff in first class that can serve them their treats and drinks and things while they're waiting for all the rest of the passengers to board the airplane. We got to get this fixed. I don't know how many times we've talked about boarding the airplane from the back to the front, the doors at the front, board it from the back to the front, board it from the back to the front, let the first class folks have a nice little lobby in the gate.
Yeah. They can sit and get served a thing and they can get on the plane last. They get off the plane first. They're on the plane for the shortest amount of time.
Agreed. Load from the back to the front. That actually makes the most sense, Josh.
It does make the most sense and do it by row instead of by class of ticket. This isn't the Titanic. Let's get over it. Come on. Man. Well, now, Delta, you've made Josh mad.
I hope you're happy. I mean, this is not hard. Just give us a ginger ale. Give me a ginger ale and a bisque off while I sit on the plane and wait for the fancy first class folks to get comfortable. You won't have this issue. Exactly. Because if you have all the people seated and you've started the service on the back half of the plane, change your thought process here.
We got it. Load from the back. Treat your passengers to a nice little treat while they're waiting for everything to happen. And then when first class gets seated, they already have their own. There's how many first class seats in a standard airplane like this? 12?
Couldn't tell you. 12 to 15. I fly economy.
12 to 18. I'm going to say there's six to nine rows of first class. And those folks have their own person.
They're going to be well taken care of by that staff before the plane takes off. Come on now. We've got to wrap up the show.
Yeah, we do. Settle down, Josh. Settle down. I don't know why you brought this up.
You did. Give me a bisque off. Yeah, so I'm going to give Josh a cookie.
Yeah. Have a good rest of your Wednesday. We'll be back tomorrow. Thanks for hanging out with us. Enjoy your day. And thanks, nurses. Appreciate you. Absolutely we do. Preash. Happy Wednesday. See you tomorrow.
