Full show transcript:
Oh, let's kick off this show. Oh, heck.
When we had little kids or even when we were pregnant, you know, you read some of those stories or see some videos where there's pregnant people and they're like, you got to get your kid on that waiting list for that private school before the kid's even born. I have not seen that. You have not seen that.
That's ridiculous. Or you got to do this before your kid is born. You can reserve an email address for your child.
I did that. And keep it sealed until they're ready to use it. Oh, that's cool.
I created email addresses for our kids because I wanted to get them early so they would just have their names. I didn't know you did that. Oh, yeah. I didn't know that.
That's why they have their email addresses because I created them when they were children. You did? Yeah.
I did not know that. Yeah. Oh, I'm a nerd. Yeah, I created them for them forever ago. Well, good looking out. Well, I wanted them to have their name as an email without having a bunch of numbers after it. Yeah. And not that there's a million people running around with their names, but I just wanted to secure it and make sure they had them.
Wow, Josh. Because I don't have mine and it bugs me. I have mine.
I know you do. There's another. Yes, there is.
There's actually a couple. I know. And it bugs you that you do. It really bugs me. Because I had to use a middle initial and then people forget it. And so whoever that other person is probably gets my email. Oh, yeah, I bet you're right.
Yeah. Real important stuff going to him, I bet. I bet some serious communication.
I hope he's getting all of my spam email. Yeah, me too. Yeah.
How dare you. Yeah, having my same name. Yeah.
Well, I did not know that. I just thought it was like when they were ready, they have an email. You were like, here you go. No, I created them. Not when they were like babies, but I created them both at the same time when, I mean, boy, they were in elementary school at the time. Elementary school.
Yeah. How do you say it? Elementary school. What did I say? School. Okay. It sounds the same. I don't know what I said.
We're there, but all right. If you don't have an email address for your kids, you can, there's a Swiss, Swiss, Swiss company in Switzerland. Just go to Gmail and get Gmail. Well, that's the thing. If you get a Gmail one, it's likely that it's going to get like a whole bunch of junk mail even before the kids. Only if you use it. Or it could be deleted if it's left dormant for too long. But Proton is this company in Switzerland and it uses end to end and zero access encryption to guarantee privacy.
Okay. So you can keep it closed until they're ready to use it. That doesn't even, it's unnecessary.
It does cost a dollar. Yeah. That's unnecessary.
Here's the thing. Go to your Gmail, create an email address, and then log into it once a year. And it's not going to get in the email because you're not using it. Because you're not using it. It's going to sit dormant.
No one has the email address. You crazy? Whoa. It's an unnecessary service. And it shouldn't even cost a dollar.
No, it shouldn't. We're going to register an email with you and log into it once a year. Okay. I can do that myself.
Thank you very much. Who's to even say email's going to be around in 15 years? Well, in 15, I would imagine it still is. It's a major communication thing. And it's a huge marketing thing. Yeah, that's true. So, I mean, people email market like crazy.
That's true. I'm in charge of email marketing at my other job. Yeah.
Do you want to do email marketing at this one? No, I just get really sad when people unsubscribe. Why? It's personal. I take it as a personal hit. And then they say, you're sending too many emails.
And I go, I know, but I just want you to know the information. Do you want to know that they just check a box? They're not reading it? I know. The, too many emails, they got one email.
And they went, that's too many. Yeah, I know. I did not sign up for this newsletter.
And then they complain when they don't know what's going on. And then I go, you shouldn't have deleted that email. You should get the emails. Check your spam folder.
Check your email, man. All right, let's start today's show. Let's do it. Hi, good morning. That was a little bit creepy. When I said hi, good morning. Yeah, you just said hi. Hi. It was weird. Hi.
Good morning. Why didn't you like it? Well, I don't know. I just sounded creepy.
Okay. I absolutely did not intend to sound creepy. It's not the creepy season.
Correct. The creepy season is still six months away. Any season can be creepy. Well, I guess so. What you got going on today? Well, you were up in Adam this morning. I just woke up. I heard alarms. I could have woken up earlier.
I laid there for a while and I just was, I don't know, I was ready to wake up. Whoa. That never happens.
No. In our house, it is me who wakes up first. That is true. And I usually have much of my stuff done before you do decide to get up.
That's true. So when you wake up first, I go, what's going on? Yeah. That always makes me wonder.
Yeah, I don't know. Did you hear something? I felt restless in bed.
No, I just, I was ready to get out of bed. That's surprising for you, Josh. I know. I just didn't want to lay there anymore.
Okay. It was weird. I just felt like, ugh, the energy is not right.
I got to get up. Oh, okay. Yeah. You ever have that? Yeah.
Just like, I just can't lay here. Yeah. I must have completed enough sleep cycle or something. Wow.
Congratulations. It's probably going to backfire. I'm probably going to be like, should have stayed in there for another 20 minutes. I mean, you had shoes on and everything before I was even brushed my teeth. I know. I was, let the dog out, fed the dog. I made your whole morning routine. I know you did.
You did. I walked out, I go, I feel like I'm forgetting something because you've, you've ruined my routine. Yeah.
There's a set of steps I take every morning and I'm going to get in the middle of the day and I'm going to be like, that's what I forgot because I didn't do my usual thing. Yeah. I don't know. I don't know what it was about this morning. I just had to get moving.
Rip Roren. I, again, not really. I don't feel like I'm big energy. I just feel like I had to get up.
Okay. Like if this were a weekend, this would be an amazing time because I would, especially in the summertime, because the sun would be up by now. I'd be like outside taking in that fresh air.
Yeah. Letting the sun. Do some sun salutations. Grounding yourself in the grass. Yep. You don't do that though.
You should. You just got to be barefoot and I don't like that. But in the grass, barefoot in the grass. In nice grass, not in our grass.
I don't even mind our, I just like being barefoot. Ah. I get it. Well, good morning to you, Josh. Yeah, good morning to you.
Way to be Rip Roren. Or as I said, good morning when it was all creepy. You didn't say it like that.
No, I didn't. That's why I don't understand why it was creepy. Because all I said was, hey, good morning. No, you didn't say it like that. Okay. Roll tape? Yeah. Hey.
Roll that beautiful, beautiful footage. Oh yeah. Remember that?
Yes, I do. Bushes, baked beans. They had that dog that would talk about the recipe.
Yes. And the owner of the dog who was just a voice was like, no, no, no. Don't tell him about the bean recipe. It's a secret family recipe. He's like, ah, it's got cinnamon in it. Secret cinnamon. Was it?
Probably. It's the secret is cinnamon. But then why did he say, well, that beautiful bean footage? Because then they just showed beans pouring out of a can. Gross. Look at those warm beans. Gross. Gross. Yeah. Good morning. I'm the creepy one. Not bean footage over here.
Here's some good news for you this morning. The Berlin Zoo. That's in Berlin, Germany.
It's just through a birthday bash for its longest residing tenant at the zoo. Okay. Let me guess.
Any ideas? A tortoise. No, that would make sense for a tortoise to, is that what you say when it starts walking near you? Oh, it's coming toward us.
Tortoise. Anyway. No, it's not. A lion. No. A tiger. No. A monkey.
Kind of. A lemur. Lady Fata.
F-A-T-A-U. That's a type of monkey? No, that's the name of the world's oldest living gorilla. It's a terrible name.
Lady Fata. Okay. Turned 69 years old, which is a staggering feat considering wild gorillas barely make it past their 40s. Really?
Yes. And Lady Fata is 69 years old. Lady Fata, who named you? She celebrated the big day by snacking on a feast of soft vegetables and enjoying a special visit from her granddaughter, M-A-P-N-Z. That's M-A-P-T-A-U-P-N-Z-I. M-A-P-N-Z.
These were named by the zookeeper's kids when they were little. Lady Fata and M-A-P-N-Z. Not M-A-K-N-Z. M-A-P-N-Z.
With a family tree that now stretches to at least three great, great, great grandchildren. Lady Fata seems to enjoy sitting back relaxing and being a world famous star at the Berlin Zoo. Sitting back maxin' relaxin' all cool. Hey, you know what? The Smuckers Company should get a hold of Lady Fata.
Why? Because... Because Al Roker? Yeah, well, and before Al, the original Ronald McDonald, whatever his name was, he used to do the thing too.
With Smuckers presenting the 100-year-old birthdays. You know. I don't.
You don't? I mean, I know the Smuckers 100, but I don't know who did it before Al Roker. The original Ronald McDonald. I don't even know what you're talking about. You're making up nonsense. No. Okay.
Anyway. I gotta find his name so that you can go, okay. This guy. What's his name?
I...this is his face. Anyway. I can't look him up anymore. But there he is.
Willard Scott. There it is! Look at ya.
Okay. How do you know this? You don't know any of this pop culture type stuff, but when did he do the Smuckers thing? He was the original guy. Was he? Before Al Roker. Okay.
He did the Smuckers' birthdays. Okay. I'm impressed by you right now. Yeah?
Because you don't typically...yeah, he was legendary today's show, Weatherman. Yeah. You don't typically know this type of stuff. Didn't know his name, but I knew two things about him.
He's the guy who did the Smuckers' birthdays and he was the original Ronald McDonald. Okay. Congrats.
The things you hold on to. Happy birthday to Lady... Fata. Fata. It's good news. All righty, so they've officially announced as of last night the 2026 class for the inductees of the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. Okay. I voted. Did you go vote? I didn't vote. Who did you vote for? I can't remember. I think I voted for In-X-S. Okay. And then I voted...because you could vote every day.
And then I went and voted for Pink. Okay. And those are the only two that I remember on the list. Neither of them made the cut. Are you serious?
Do you know who was first in the fan vote? Yeah, you told me. But now... New edition. That's right.
Didn't make it. Oh, seriously? Yeah. Whoa-ee-zo-ee. Yeah.
Who made it? So the fan vote, collectively as a fan base, the world gets to vote and that vote counts as one vote. So all of the people voting as fans count as one vote for New Edition. Okay.
New Edition didn't make it. Here's who did. Okay.
Say. Now, artists who have created music whose originality, impact, and influence have changed the course of rock and roll is the credential that you have when you get, you know, inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. Phil Collins.
Okay. First nomination. He's been eligible for election since 2006. He was inducted as a member of Genesis in 2010. Oh, serious? So this is his solo induction.
Billy Idol. It is his second nomination. He's been eligible since 2006.
Also, his guitarist, Steve Stevens, has been also elected as an individual. Okay. Which is kind of cool. That is kind of cool. Probably as a musical excellence or something. Anyway, nonetheless, Joy Division and New Order.
So that is an induction there, not New Edition. Joy Division, New Order. Right? Joy Division.
What's... They've been eligible since 2004. They got in?
Uh-huh. Oasis. Been eligible since 2019.
Oasis is going into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame and it's a wonderful. Okay. Uh, Chaudé.
Okay. Eligible since 2009. Luther Vandross, who is deceased.
Is he really? Eligible since 2006. I don't think I knew that. I don't know that I knew that or not.
And Wu Tang Clan. No way. Yeah. Eligible since 2018.
They're going in. Wu Tang. Early Influence Award, which is formerly known as the Musical Influence Award. This is for artists whose music and performance style have directly influenced, inspired and evolved Rock and Roll music and impacting culture. Queen Latifah is going in for an Early Influence Award, which is kind of cool. Celia Cruz, who is a Cuban singer, is deceased and will be going in. This is Felicuti or Cutty, who is deceased as well, regarded as a principal innovator of Afrobeat.
MC Light is going in and Graham Parsons, deceased member of the birds and the flying burrito brothers. Oh, of course. Going in. Of course. Yeah. You don't know the flying burrito brothers? Uh-uh.
Oh. Rick Rubin is getting a Musical Excellence Award. Executive Producer for Johnny Cash, LL Cool J, Beastie Boys, Run DMC, Public Enemy, Adele, Ed Sheeran, Lady Gaga, Red Hot Chili, but the list goes on and on and on. Weezer, ACDC, Aerosmith, Rick Rubin is the label executive and producer for all of those groups and more. Gotcha. Getting a Musical Excellence Award.
Got it. Along with a couple other people, but kind of pretty cool. Interesting. Yeah. The people that didn't make it, you mentioned Pink and in excess, Shakira, New Edition, Mariah Carey, Lauren Hill, Melissa Etheridge, Black Crows and Jeff Buckley.
Oh man. Those are some really great names to not have made it into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. Yep.
I wish I could be in the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. You do? Yeah. We'll make some Rock and Roll and then sit on it for 25 years. No, right?
You gotta make some really big stuff and then be in it for 25 years. Yeah. Exactly. Anyway, congrats to the inductees. That ceremony I think takes place in May and then it airs live or pre-recorded or something later on.
You can check out the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame website if you want those details, I guess, because I didn't look them up. But congrats. Congrats. I suppose. You've heard of cold plunging? Sure have. So I, people have said that you should do this. I just hate being cold so much, but everyone's like, you gotta do it.
You gotta do it. It helps with muscle soreness. It helps with inflammation. It helps with anxiety and depression.
It helps improve circulation. You just gotta do it. Even 15 seconds. Have you looked all that up or are you just making that up off the top of your head? No, no, no. I've looked it all up. You are familiar with these things. With the cold plung? Yes.
Yeah. When did you do so much extensive research? Amy Polar told me about it. Oh, is that right?
Okay, got it. Thank you, Amy. I've been listening to her podcast and she was talking about it on her podcast. Who was she talking about it with?
Who was she? You've been listening to a lot of episodes. You were listening to Judge Judy and you were listening to Hailey Williams. It might have been Hailey Williams. She was talking about it too. And Hailey Williams was like, no, I don't want to do the cold plung. And Amy was like, you gotta do the cold plung.
Like it's so beneficial. I'm not going to buy a tank to a cold plung. You don't need a tank.
I'm also not going to pay to go do a cold plung because they have places where you can go. That's right. I'm just, I'm not. Why?
Because I'm not. So then I was like, well, I have a bathtub. I could do it in my bathtub. Okay. But I'm also like, I don't want to do that either because that requires so much effort. But I want to get the benefit. Okay. We just need to go get like a, like a horse trough.
Yeah. I'm just doing it in the shower. And then we'll put it outside just right outside the door. You can go hop in for your whatever seconds or minutes or whatever it is. And then you can run inside and take a warm shower.
No. I just did it in the shower last night. For how long? I did 15 seconds. Of the coldest you could get.
Yes. And how cold was it? It was pretty cold. Was it cold enough? Refresh? Did you do cold first?
What do you mean? You get in and get warm and then turn it cold. I was just taking a regular shower. Yeah.
And then I went, oh, I wonder if I could just do a cold. That's not how it works. I know. That's not going to shock the system.
It was pretty shocking. I understand, but it's not the same as a full on cold plunge. And your temperature should be between 50 and 59 degrees. Do you know where I can find you 50 degree water right now? I'm not doing that.
I've already told you I'm not doing that. But do you know where there's 50 degree water right this time? In the river. Not the river. Which one?
Any of them. It's falsely named. It's the warm river. And it is 50 degrees. And you can go and you can lay in that. And you know what I'll be doing?
What? Fishing. I'm just doing it. Well, you're doing a cold plunge. I'm already aligned with the fact that I'm just doing it in the shower.
Let's do this. Roll your eyes. You have to cold plunge until I catch a fish. No. No. You don't get to make the rules of my cold plunge. Why?
Because I make the rules. It won't take long. Dude, it's just not happening.
You're not even let me telling you. It could take the whole day. I went, I was taking a warm shower. I wonder if I could. And then I just turned it real, real cold. And I counted very slowly, I might add, to 15. One, two, three, four, five, six, seven.
Google says that I can do it. You should do it for one to 10 minutes. 10 minutes is insane. One to five is the, is beginners should start with 30 to 60 seconds. You should keep your session between one and five minutes. That's a safety guideline.
Okay. This says, well, not as intense as like a tub, like a full body immersion. It does offer similar benefits. So. Yeah. But okay, fine. But you need to.
You don't tell me what I need to do. It's about shocking the system. So you can't have be just having a shower and then turn it down.
You've got to get in the shower and then turn it on cold. Oh, yeah. You're a cold plunge expert. No, I'm telling you the benefit is that you shock your nervous system.
I was pretty shocked. Says here it'll improve mood. How's that? How's that going?
Do you feel like you've increased metabolism? I just did it once just last night. And I, it's probably, you should probably do it in the morning rather than evening.
I don't know if there's a benefit to doing it in the morning. I don't know that it matters. Okay. The more extreme shock, the better it says. That's what I just said.
I know what you said. The best time to cold plunge depends on your goals. Morning is ideal for an immediate energy boost, alertness and mental clarity.
Post-workout or late afternoon is best for reducing muscle inflammation and promoting physical recovery. What if it was right before bed? Probably not ideal. Hmm. Hmm. Hmm.
Afternoon evening is best for stress, helps reduce muscle soreness after a long day and can help you wind down. Okay. See? But you want 50 degree water. You want 60 seconds. 60 seconds.
Yeah. And then you can warm up. Well, first time last night.
15 seconds. So let me ask you this. What? If we had the horse trough.
No. And next to it we had a sauna. What about that? A sauna or a hot tub? Well, I would like the hot tub very much. But I was thinking having the warm room to immediately go to might be, and it's dry. It's going to be, you know, a different kind of warm you up versus more water. I think I'll just stay in the shower. You don't want the horse trough?
No, I do not. Is it because it's called a horse trough? That, and you have to go outside to do it. Yeah. And you have to immerse your whole body. Yeah.
That's the part I don't like. You're supposed to dunk your head and everything. I put my head under the cold, cold water last night. I did.
I'm still sticking with the shower. Okay. Don't even try and convince me that I'm not going to. All right. But we could get you a horse trough.
I don't want a horse trough. Loud and clear. I was telling Emery that you are now taking care of your skin and you're doing some moisturizing. Yes. And she immediately started laughing. Why? She said, where does he get his moisturizer?
And I said, he got a two-pack at Costco. Yes. And she died laughing and she goes, I don't think that's it. She said, bro.
Did she go look at it? It's good stuff. I'm buying bulk because I want to buy once. Listen, I think it's fine. She is a teenage girl who's very obsessed with her skincare routine.
I understand. What's that stuff she uses? You know, I was trying to remember what it was called and I can't remember.
Because she goes, he needs to get some of this, what I use and how I can't remember what it is. I'm looking it up. It's just something water. Uh-huh.
I can't remember. Anyway, I said, she goes, why is he moisturizing? She goes, that's so dumb. And I go, it's not ever dumb to take care of your skin and put a little extra moisturizer on your face. And she said, is he putting it on his whole head?
Yeah. She asked me that. She said, I think you're putting it on your whole head to make it shiny. I said, no, it shines on its own. Ouch.
If you want to feel really bad about yourself, get yourself a teenage girl. No kidding. Hey, listen, Josh.
What? Don't let her dissuade you from taking care of your skin. I'm not going to. Okay, good.
I take care of my skin. Good. My way.
Good. What is that water called? I don't remember.
I don't know. Anyway, she uses some fancy water. She uses a fancy water. I think it's right there. My cellar water.
Yeah, that's what it is. Yeah, I finally found the bottle. Yeah, it's a cleansing water is what she uses. She goes, I'm over here using my cellar water.
You're using moisturizer on your head to make it shiny. And I went, this is a lot of attitude. So why are you being so mean? Right. I'm just trying to take care of my skin.
I'm over here just minding my business. Right. I didn't say you also have to use what I bought in bulk. Well, and you don't have makeup. Right. So you don't need the micellar water to take care of your makeup. Removal. Right. I think you're fine, Josh.
I think you just keep doing you. I gotta figure out what it is. It's gentle. No wrench rinse cleanser containing micelles, tiny surfacant molecules suspended in soft water that act like magnets to lift away makeup dirt and oil. Yeah, that's a cleanser. I'm not using a cleanser. I wash my face with my face wash thing in the shower. That's like face and beard wash. Because everything for dudes has to be a two in one or three or four or five.
You can't just have a bottle for everything. I have a, I do. I have a face and a beard wash. I have a body wash and I have a shampoo because even though I'm bald, I do have to use a tiny drop of shampoo on my scalp. You gotta have a clean scalp.
Yeah. That's what makes it shiny. And now I've added in a moisturizer. Do you know what else I have that I haven't used in a while? A beard oil?
Well, I do have that. I have a beard softener and a beard oil. I like the beard. Take care of my beard. I like the beard oil. It smells nice.
The beard softener or the beard oil? I don't know. Okay. And then, because I don't wear them both. I switch off. At the same time. Right.
Because it's too much. But then I also, I have that charcoal mask stuff that I haven't used in a while. I like that, but I have to, I have to shave before I use that or else it tries to rip out beard hairs when you peel it off because it gets hard, you know? Uh-huh. Yeah.
Look at you. I'm trying to take care of my T-zone. T- Good job, Josh. Thanks. I'm impressed. Yeah. You know who's not?
Our 16 year old. She is not impressed. She's like, just be an old man. I know. Listen, don't listen to her. Like I said, nobody should be making fun of anyone who's taking care of their skin.
That's what I'm saying. Don't even let her effect. Guys, you gotta take care of your T-zone. Yeah. Do you know what the T-zone is? Yes, I know what the T-zone is.
Forehead down the nose. That's correct. Good job. That's where I put my charcoal mask. So why do you have to shave your beard? Because when I put it on my cheeks as well. See how I've got these hairs? That's not part of your T-zone.
No, I know. But I do it there as well on my cheeks. So that I've kind of got like the T and then the cheeks as well.
We went to get facials a while ago. That's right. Oh man, remember that? Yeah. They sprayed that stuff on with a popsicle stick. That was awesome.
Yeah. I loved that. My skin has never looked better than after that. We should go do that again. That was a good time. That was a good time. It was a good date night. It was a good date night. Let's go do that again. That was so relaxing. I feel like that's probably when I've been the most relaxed ever. Really? Yeah. When you were getting the whatever, which one did you do?
Like a cucumber citrus or something else? I don't remember. It was like the goop. Yeah, it was gooey. It was gooey. It was awesome.
I loved it. Yeah. Take care of your T-zone, guys.
I'm telling you. And also, it's your turn to plan a date night. It's always my turn.
Because you haven't done it yet. You see? Here we go. Every day, there's a couple of these. Every show. You can go back and you can listen to every episode of the podcast. There'll be like, you and I having a nice conversation.
And then you have to, and then I go, okay, here we go. There's like one or two every show. This is one for today. It won't be the last. I know it won't. Guaranteed. I was trying to buy some vitamins because I'm at vitamin age.
Whatever that means. Well, everyone should be taking vitamins. Well, if you're deficient on something, sure. You can make up for it with a vitamin, yeah. But I feel like as a middle-aged woman, I've been taking a lot more vitamins lately. I was looking for some the other day and they have a gummy form for most all vitamins. And I was just trying to find a regular vitamin pill. I'm a middle-aged woman. I don't need a gummy to take my vitamins.
And I could not find just a pill. It was all gummies. And I went, I don't want a gummy. I want a pill. I want to swallow my pill.
Go about my day. Are you just looking for a multi? No, I can't remember what it was. Flintstones complete chewables, multi-vitamin. They're still making them in the chewable. Chewable. Not a gummy. They have them in a gummy as well. But they're still making the chewable. If you want the chewable, you can still get the real chewable one. Okay.
DOG. Does it still taste the same as it always did? There's no way they changed the recipe. Now, I just tried to find where to buy them. And I can't find them on their online store. And I can't find them. Like when I search for on their website on the Flintstones vitamins.com website.
If I search the state of Idaho, it says no results. So I don't know where you can get them. But if you're looking for a good daily, was there a color that you liked better than the others when you were taking the Flintstone vitamins? Because I'm going to tell you I didn't like the purple-grey one. I didn't like the orange one. Orange and red were always good. No, the orange one was terrible. I didn't mind the orange. I didn't mind the purple one. But, okay, let's go back to the gummies.
What about it? Why can't you just make a pill as a pill? Just a vitamin. Put it in my mouth. Swallow it with some water. Why does everything have to be gummy? Because, ew, I don't want to take my apple cider vinegar in a gummy form.
I think that's probably what I was looking for. Okay, you could swallow it. Ew, that's a big chunk.
Here's why I wanted to find out. Apparently, a lot of the gummy vitamins are gaining popularity because of what they're saying is pill fatigue for adults and children, and it provides a candy-like taste and texture, which makes taking daily supplements feel more like a treat than a chore. That's it, isn't it? It's the candy idea behind it.
Yeah, it is. They now fill a market for adults who struggle with swallowing pills, have digestion sensitivity to pills, or prefer to avoid medical feeling routines. You know, when you open up a fresh bottle of vitamins and you get that smell?
It depends on what vitamin it is. But you know the one I'm talking about where you go like, oh boy, gummies don't have that issue either. I'm just telling you why. I know, I totally understand why. Because you're frustrated because you don't want to chew a gummy? I don't want to chew a gummy. Here's the thing, they're gross, and then you're chewing it. And I really don't like gummy candy either, like gummy worms, gummy bears.
I don't like. It's too much chewing. It's too much chewing.
Don't give this girl any gum. I would rather just swallow my pill and go out on about my day. Okay. That's it. It checks out. I understand what you're saying.
I don't mind that they are making them. Please just give me the option of a pill too, but I couldn't even find the pill form of the vitamin- It has to exist. I know it does, because I've had it before. Maybe you need to go to a specialty vitamin store. That's where you're going to find it. Because the general retail store is going to carry what they sell. The local Piggly Wiggly? Piggly is going to sell regular old gummy vitamins, because that's what sells, that's what moves off the shelf. That's what people are buying.
You want real vitamins, you've got to go to a real vitamin store. Okay. That's the solution. People have pill fatigue? I have gummy candy fatigue. Look at you.
What are you going to do about it? Go to a real vitamin store. You're going to walk in there, you're going to be like, I'm here for real vitamins, none of that gummy stuff. And then you go to the section and it's all gummies. Yeah.
Yeah. Our daughter is days away from being able to go take her driver's license test. As of yesterday, she told me it was like nine days, so now she's at eight. She's got the itch real bad to try. Yeah, I know she does. I know yesterday she had to go to school. It was the intervention day, so she only had to go for an hour or two. And she was complaining because... She has to stay at school until something pick her up. Exactly. Yeah. Or she can stay there the whole day and wait for the bus, but she's not going to do that.
No way. So she was complaining that you, when she texted us to say, I'm done, can somebody come get me? You said, I'll be mobile shortly. Yeah. Because here's the thing. She's relentless.
I know. Where are you? When are you leaving?
How far away are you? I'm cold. Can we get a refreshment?
You're taking so long. It's just like nonstop. It's like, bro, I have a job. And Mondays I have meetings and I had an extra meeting yesterday. So I was like, I took a break from the meeting really quick to go. I'll be leaving soon. Hold tight. That means chill out.
You're in the same space. Do school stuff. Yeah. You've got stuff to do. Like I'm sure you can go to a different class and do some extra stuff. Figure it out.
I was trying to pacify as what I was doing when I said, I'll be mobile shortly. She claims that that was dry. So what the kids are saying is that when you're a dry texture, that means that you don't explain much. And if I ask you a question, you just respond with, yeah. So she said, that was such a dry text.
She goes, what does that even mean? I'll be mobile shortly. When does, is that 15 minutes? Is that a half an hour? Is that five minutes? I don't know. I'm in a meeting. That means wait. So I got the earful.
Did you? That's not a text. That's not a proper text in her mind.
I'm in a texture just like that because that's how I speak. I know. She knows.
She thinks that you're a dry talker and a dry texture. Really? I'm going to give real boring. I've given her secrets away. That's fine. I'm going to go confide it in me. Hey. What's up? I'm going to give her, she wants dry.
She's getting this a hair desert from now on. What's wrong with you? And I go, just how I am.
I think, yeah, I think you just need to, every time you have to go pick her up. Yeah. Hey.
I'll be there shortly. Oh yeah. Absolutely.
100%. That's all she's going to get. She has life 360. So she's always checking on us. Always. So she knows if I've left.
Or if I'm moving, or if I'm sitting stationary at place of employment. Good grief. Yeah, I'll be mobile shortly is what I said. And apparently that's not a good enough answer. But then I followed it up.
What was it? Would you follow up with it? Because she said, I'm just trying to pull it up here. I just looked up dry texting what it actually means. Yeah.
And it's yeah, if somebody responds to messages with short one word answers like, okay, fine, LOL, that kind of stuff. Yeah, are either of you free? And you said, I'm heading into a meeting and I said, I'll be mobile shortly. And then she replied to that and said, what time are you mobile?
And that was at 11 o'clock at 1109. I said, I just finished my meeting. I should be headed that way in a minute. Okay, sorry. That's a 10 minute wait.
10 minutes between I'll be mobile shortly and I'm moving now. And you have a device in your hand. You're capable of entertaining yourself with anything you need. Sure, but it also was 10 minutes. I know. I'm I just always think about the times. That's shortly we just had to do we just had to use our imaginations when we were waiting for our parents. Right. Or did my mom remember me today?
I sure hope so. That or if you got dropped off somewhere, you had to call collect because you didn't have a quarter. And they'd say, please state your name. I'm done.
Come pick me up. I never did that. I had to do that.
But I did. I did wait for a very long time sometimes and just go, man, I hope somebody remembered that I exist. That I'm here at school. Yeah.
What if they didn't? You go, well, I'll start walking. Yeah, I know. That was the answer. That's what you did. I guess I'll walk home. You walked the way of home and then you're like, I'll keep an eye out.
If they see me, they see me. Kids these days, they just got it too easy. Got time. I can't wait 10 minutes.
Come on. I mentioned earlier that I had been watching a lot of Amy Poehler's podcast. Now you're watching it.
Yeah. But you're also just kind of listening to it while it's on in the background. Do you find that when you have the video version running and not just the audio, do you look sometimes? Sometimes. But you're still just mostly listening. Oh, yeah. I'm just curious about that. No, it's mobile. And like yesterday I was listening while I was cleaning the kitchen.
Right. Usually it's when I'm getting ready, I just have it on. If I'm getting dressed or I'm doing my makeup, stuff like that. Yeah, that's how I catch like two minute snippets and I'll go, oh, that's an interesting thing. And then I go do whatever else I was doing. I don't sit and watch it.
No, it goes along with me wherever I am. Sure. So she had Judge Judy on as a guest. Is that the most recent episode? No.
Okay. It's just a previous one. I just scroll and then I go, oh, that one seems interesting. I'll watch that one. Now I picked the Judge Judy one because when we were first married and Beck was a brand new baby, right, we had one channel on TV. We were very poor and we had one channel on TV and we had no air conditioning.
Correct. And our apartment and it was hot, hot, hot always. And so Beck would just exist in a diaper.
Yeah. And I would be breastfeeding on the couch and we'd be two lumps just sweating together on the couch. And I would just marathon Judge Judy because it was the only thing on TV that I could watch. And I got so into Judge Judy. I would get home from work and you would tell me all about the cases that you saw that day.
And I'd go, that's amazing. Listen, that was my life at the time. I understand. I get it. That was your connection.
I had a newborn baby. We weren't going anywhere. That was my lifeline to the world. But I remember watching Judge Judy and being like, yeah, yeah, you get her.
You get her, Judy. Because after that, it was Hurricane Katrina footage, which downward spirals. Yes. That's been clear. That was not the great thing to watch.
No. He was born in November of 04. I was trying to look at the date. Katrina happened in August of 2005. So he wasn't even quite one when that happened. So you were still in that same, it was Judge Judy and Hurricane Katrina. Those were the things you had going on. Yes, Hurricane Katrina footage.
Am I got very, very depressed. Right. I just was trying to remember the time. There might have been some postpartum things happening. You think?
I think. But Judge Judy was there. Judge Judy was awesome on Amy Poehler. And she, I think she said she's 88. 83. 83. Yeah.
Which is pretty incredible. But she, Amy Poehler asked her what, like, what's a solid piece of advice that you could give somebody. Okay. And she said, wear sleeveless shirts as long as you can. Because there's going to be a time when you can't wear sleeveless shirts anymore.
Okay. So like wear the tank top or wear the short cuff sleeve or whatever. When is the time you can't? She said you'll know. You'll know. And you do.
Your bone density like starts to falter and. No way. Listen. And I imagine this is person to person.
It's interesting advice. I'm not discrediting Judge Judy. Because I would never. You can't. But what I'm trying to say is that you can probably do whatever you want. And no one's going to be like, you shouldn't do that. Especially when it comes to sleeves.
I think, well, I think there's some truth in that. Like just do you. Just do what you want to do. And you can't do that. And that's their problem with it. That's their problem. Not yours. That's what I'm trying to say.
I totally understand that. But I just thought it was. I just thought it was funny. It is interesting advice. Because, yeah, you get kind of that.
That wiggle the bottom of your arm. Fine. As you get older. Do some tricep lifts. It still doesn't help.
You could be. She was a body lifter. She was a body builder.
Judge Judy. Did you know that? No. I did not know she was a body. I don't know if she was a full on body builder, but she did some body. Lifting stuff. What? I don't know.
Was she actually a body builder? Let's look. Personal trade. She had the personal trade. I don't know if she was a body builder. She certainly works out.
Like there is a, there's a story on the New York post about her. Working out. You know, and this is only a couple of years ago and she, she goes, she gets out. She jogs. She's, she's in good health. She looks really great.
Yeah. She does. She looks awesome.
For 83 years old. She looks pretty incredible. Yeah. She's stellar. Good for her. Good for you, Judge Judy. What I kind of liked is that she just kind of went on a tangent and just started talking. And then at one point Amy Poehler said, it's Judy's show now. It's Judge Judy's show now.
She's going to dictate what happens. That sounds about right. Yeah.
That's kind of the, I think that's exactly how it should be. So good for her. Good guest. We should get her on our show. What would you ask her if that wasn't covered in the podcast, if you got a chance to talk to her? Oh, what would I ask her?
I don't know, Josh. Would you tell her about how she got you through? She was, she was your rock. Yeah, you got me through the breastfeeding days. Yeah, you were my rock. She'd be proud of you, I bet.
She'd be like, that's great. Thank you for supporting the show. Glad I could be there for you. Thanks, Judge.
Do you have a favorite case that you watched? I don't remember. No, it does. That was years and years and years ago. Yeah. I did also when I was pregnant. I don't know if you remember. I was watching a lot of trauma, baby trauma.
Baby birth trauma. Yeah, it's smart. Real smart. And that was very hormonal and emotional and you'd come home and you'd be like, what?
I'd be like, somebody had an A on your wrist. Yeah, you got to quit watching these shows. You just have to stop. All right, so we have gone in phases with these meal delivery services. We're back on a phase of it's convenient. It's pretty cost effective in general. And you don't have to think as hard about what to cook for dinner every day. I just told you the other day or just this morning, I said, we're getting our first box today and I already feel a little bit lighter because I know that we're already going to have dinner.
Right, all the stuff there. You just have to cook it. And I enjoy cooking and it lets me try different things. And I think the reason that we go in phases is just because like eventually we're like, all right, we've tried what we like and now we want to get some staples in there or something happens, whatever it is. So we kind of go on and off on this thing. Well, we're back on and today we're getting a box of food. And you last night were explaining to our daughter what exactly was going to be on the menu this week and next week.
And you were reading them in the kitchen and it sounded like you were reading the Zagat, what's it called? The Food Guide. The Food Guide, Restaurant Guide.
Go ahead and read one of these because they all have ridiculous names too. Yeah, this is the meatballs with bulgogi sauce. Bulgogi, which then that got a good laugh in the house. Meatballs with bulgogi sauce.
What does it say? Obsessed with meatballs but ready to break out of your usual routine. See? This ball and dish has just the thing.
Okay, whoa, whoa, whoa, hold on. It's a meatball dish and they said this ball and dish. Are they trying to appeal to young people? Go ahead. Here, we've ditched the marinara sauce and spaghetti for savory, sweet, Korean style bulgogi glaze and fluffy, ginger scented jasmine rice. Nice. Doesn't that sound nice? It does sound nice. As a bonus, there's a side of roasted carrots and a drizzle of creamy sriracha.
Yeah. Hello flavor explosion. Well, hello.
Hello flavor explosion bulgogi. It's a Korean thing. This other one, yeah, it's a Korean thing.
A popular Korean dish of thinly sliced marinated beef, traditionally grilled over an open flame, often pan seared or stir fried. It looks nice. I know. It sounds really nice. Yeah, bulgogi.
This other one we have, it's a ramen and it says garnish with more sesame seeds and scallion greens for a slurp-tastic meal. What? Who is writing this?
I don't know, but I kind of want that to be my job. Yeah, somebody is, somebody's... Slurp-tastic. The other one I have isn't that exciting. I tried to read that one. I just looked up the pronunciation. It is bulgogi. Bulgogi. Bulgogi.
Okay. In the UK, it's bulgogi. In the US, it's bulgogi. Why isn't it the same? Well, because of different ways to say it.
Oh, okay. Yeah, bulgogi, bulgogi, it's the same. It's a Korean dish. Okay, so we got a couple of those things, a ramen and some meatball bulgogi. What's the name of the ramen one? Oh, I'll die. Because it had a ridiculous name too. Yeah, that one is ridiculous.
It was like 600 words. Spicy turkey dan dan noodle ramen. Yes, that's like the name of a song.
Spicy turkey dan dan noodle ramen. Yeah, it's like... What's a CB radio handle? Right, yeah, it's some code for like the eagle has landed. Break the breaker dan dan? Yeah, we got a spicy turkey dan dan. Ramen noodle.
Over. Yeah, that's what that is. Well, that's fun. I think it sounds delicious. Okay. Emery does not get excited about these.
No. I'm excited because, yeah, like you said, it takes all of the planning out of what's for dinner. It's delivered to your door. You don't have to go to the grocery store.
Yep. You pull out a bag, all your stuff is in the bag, and the food is good. It's good food. Yeah, it's good ingredients. It's good. I like cooking them. Like I said, I get to try different things.
I get to go, okay, I've made bulgogi. She's not excited. And I don't know why because it's not like it's anything different than what we normally make. I've never made bulgogi. Well, okay.
But I've made, I've made meatballs and I've made Korean beef dishes with broccoli and stuff. So this'll be fine. I know it is. It's going to be a good time. I know it is.
Yeah. I'm going to make a bulgogi. Never made a bulgogi before. And a dan dan ramen.
Turkey dan dan spicy chicken. Over and out. Have I ever texted someone accidentally? Like maybe I guess. Like you meant to text this person and accidentally texted this person. Like, probably sure. In the history of texting, I'm sure that's happened. I just sent, well, I thought I was sending a text to my sister yesterday.
Okay. And it went to Emory. Well, that's not the same. And she said, you know, you're texting your kid, right? Oh no. It wasn't anything inappropriate. Well, good. It was just, I was complaining about the amount of craft supplies that I had.
And how when I go in my craft room, instead of feeling creative and energized, I feel overwhelmed by the amount of stuff that I have unfinished projects. Sure. But you didn't play it off like, yeah, I know you should come down here and look at this stuff. You went, oh no. Oops. Yeah. I said, yeah. Yeah. Yeah, I meant to.
You're supposed to say, oh yeah, that was intentional. I planned on doing that. No, I didn't.
I didn't. Do you not appreciate me texting you about my struggles? She initially said, because I said, I think I said to my sister, do you ever just come in your craft room and get so overwhelmed by everything? And then I was kind of like venting like, look. She just kept texting like multiple messages. Yeah.
That's fun. And I think the first response I raised that back was, sorry, homie. And then you know, you're texting your kid, right? Yeah, she could tell like, you're, you're over complaining to me. You're, you mean to be texting this to someone else.
Yep. I was just glad it wasn't anything inappropriate. Well, yeah, no, that's good. But yeah, no, I pay attention, I guess.
I mean, a little closer or something. Okay. Geez. No, I'm just, I'm just offering advice. I'm not saying like, how could you know? I typically do, especially if it is something that's a little bit like, if I know I'm going to be complaining about. Yeah, you'll check. Specific things. I go, let me know.
I'll check this. Right. But this one you just fired off. Yeah. Yeah. Cause I have messaged my boss in years past accidentally. About your craft room?
No. You ever walk in your craft room and you just can't get going on something? Your boss is like, it's nine o'clock on a Wednesday. Why are you texting me about your craft room?
What are you doing? Oh, funny. You can't think of a single instance where you've texted the wrong person. I'm sure it's happened. I don't know. Yeah.
It's happened to the best of us. Sure. I know that we were in the process of buying tickets for a concert that's coming up in August and they sent me a text to get into like their artist presale. And I was in a conversation with you and our daughter about this concert and I ended up texting that automated text number back the price of the ticket. I went $42 a ticket and then I went, they already know that. And then I texted you guys $42 a ticket or whatever it was.
So that happened. The automated text line? It didn't reply. It was probably like, nah, this guy. It's his first time using the internet. Yeah, I'm old. I don't know how to buy tickets.
$42 a ticket. Please do not respond. Yeah, that would have been funny if they were like, you're texting the wrong number. Do you know you're texting the band?
New phone, who dis? Yeah, not my fault. Just got influenced. Yeah, you're trying to influence me. Yeah, you were doing your studio yoga stretches.
Yes. And I got an ad for a model V8 engine kit. And I said, hey, do you have interest in building a miniature functioning model of an engine? What did you think I was going to say when you asked me that? Well, I was hoping you were going to say, yeah, that'd be a fun activity to do together.
Let's get one. You really thought that that's what I was going to say? Because then we could figure out how to build that like a puzzle.
It's a working engine together. What do you know about me? We'd have fun. What do you know about me?
You like a good date night, and I'm in charge of one. Those are two things I know. And building an engine sounds like something that I need to. Something that we could do together. How do I feel about puzzles? This isn't a puzzle. This is a kit. It's a model. You've just said it was a puzzle. No, it's a model kit. That you have to put together.
That's right. You like Lego. Do you like Lego? Not so much, actually. Wow. You think you know a person, and then you're like, let's build a model engine together, and you find out who they really are. Yeah.
This is who I've been for 20 years, 20 plus years, Josh. Are you sure about that? I am positive about that.
If there is one thing I know for sure about myself, it's that. That you don't like to build Lego? That I don't want to build an engine. Why not? Because it's not a full-size one. It's a scaled-down model. It's made of metal.
No, I understand that. And it has all the moving parts. And then you can build it. You could even pick the color.
It's available in red, black, blue, green, or orange. I think maybe this is either a solo project for you or something that you can work on with our son. Okay, if you were going to build one of these with me, which part of the engine would you want to be responsible for the most? None of it. That's not what I asked. I see as it is. I said, if you were going to build this with me, which part of the engine would you most want to be?
Like, I put that on. None. I don't even know how to answer that question.
What do I say? The pistons? That's part of it. Look at it. You already know. You've built one before.
That's why you don't want to build one because you've already done it. I have. It's pretty easy. So I was kind of bored.
That's why I don't want to do it again. So let's not. That's rude. You won't build an engine with me. Well, sorry.
It's a V8 model. You won't plan a date with me. I was planning one. It was you and me building an engine. It was going to be nice. We're going to sit down.
We're going to get out all the supplies. They comes with tools and different pieces that you got to put in in a specific order. And then you got to dab on some different oils and things so the parts don't bind up. A dab will do you.
That's right. And then see how much fun we could have. You could have little sayings the whole time.
Like a little dab will do you. Here's if this were to happen. Yeah, see now. No, no, no, no. I got to get your brain thinking about it like that.
Go ahead. You buy this kit and we sit down to do it and it's going to be you doing it, me getting very, very bored and then just sitting in the background either singing songs or making up jokes or coming up with silly crap. You're going to do the hands on.
I'll just be on my phone most of the time. That's not how it's a terrible way to spend a date. This is a terrible way to spend a date. This is a no fun, very bad date. Plant something else.
Sounds great. Then find someone else to have that date with. That is not me. I don't want someone else. I'm like you to build it.
I don't want to. What is something you would build? A planter box. Okay. For flowers. Sure.
I'll do that. A miniature scaled down one. Sure. Yeah. That's a Lego. I've felt Lego before.
They're fine. You had a good time with that Lego dog. No, that one was insane.
That our boss gave us for Christmas and they were mini, mini, mini Lego and they were also in Japanese and you couldn't even read the instructions. That's right. No, forget about it. I hated that. I almost threw that away.
But you didn't. I know it. Because I made you put it together. Yeah, you made me build it.
Yeah. Because if there's one thing I know about you, you don't like building stuff. But you might like building this engine. You're right, Josh.
I might have just all of a sudden been like, hey, you know what's fun? Putting stuff together. Let's do it. You're on board. Do you want to go on a digital detox with me? When and what does it involve and what's the plan? What do you digitally detoxing from?
I don't necessarily have a plan. On average, Americans spend five hours and 16 minutes a day on their phones, which seems a little crazy, doesn't it? But they're saying that the negative effects of all that screen time can be reversed. So how about that? So people have tried, like they've blocked the internet access on their phones. So now all their phones are allowed to do is just call and text.
No scrolling of any kind. And only two weeks of this digital detox. And everyone's attention spans have improved. Interesting. And it's like similar. They're saying it's similar to reversing 10 years of age related decline. That's pretty impressive. The people that they did this with also reported having less anxiety and they just felt better overall. OK, so how long are they doing it?
Two weeks. OK, but here's here's something that I heard about that I meant to do some investigating. And this is just kind of brought this up for me. There is this sort of meditative thing that you can do for an hour a day. And this feels way more realistic because there is so much involved in in communication and work stuff and like being non digital for me. I love, love, love, love, love when I get to go spend like a week in the mountains and I'm away from it. But I hate when you turn it back on and it sits there for five minutes letting you know of all the things that you missed out on or whatever.
Yeah, right. So more realistically is this 40 to 45 minute or up to an hour of electronic free meditation. And this is quite literally and we've talked a little bit about this going for a walk, leaving your phone at home, you know, those types of things where you're disconnected, living like it's the 90s, people have said before too. But the idea here is that you you go offline, you leave your device, you can go outside, you can touch grass, as they say, you get connected with nature, you can focus on your breathing, you can systematically direct attention to different body parts, you can do body scan meditation, you can do silent mindfulness, you can do walking meditation, you can do it indoor, you can do it outdoor.
But the idea is you set up a routine and for an hour a day, you go, Hey, this is my, this is my detox time. And you just spend it in reality. I kind of like that. And I think that is a more realistic. Well. Long term solution.
They did say if you can't go full two weeks, like even if you just take a partial detox, even just for a couple of days that can work. We always struggle. I go, there's not enough time to do all the things. And I have been on like a mega kick to just kind of like declutter room by room by room. You said last night you were setting yourself like an hour timer.
So yeah, I did. I set myself an hour and then I said, I'm going to do what I can in an hour in the kitchen. And I actually, when you put away the like doom scrolling and just the like nonsense TikTok, the mindless, I'm like, I had an hour. I got so much done. And then I just wanted to keep going. So I actually did an hour and a half because I was like, I'm in the zone. I'm just going to keep going.
Yeah. And I got so much accomplished yesterday because I put my phone down. That's interesting. I was doing a little bit more research on this hour meditation thing because I, you know, I've been trying to build stronger habits and mindfulness things. And so, you know, spending some time in thought seems like healthy. And a lot of people are saying that like the recommended 10 to 20 minute meditation thing is fine, especially if you're just starting out. But long term, you want to get to that like 60 minute mark because the first 10 to 20 minutes is your brain just trying to declutter before you actually can even enter a real meditative state because you have to let it burn off everything that you could possibly think about.
So that then you can spend the last 40 minutes in an actual meditation or an actual, you know, awareness, thoughtfulness state, which I think is interesting. And it's, it's one of those things where I go like, okay, I got work, I got family responsibility. I got chores, stuff around the house. I've got a million hobbies I want to do.
I want to go to the gym. Like there's, where do I put all this stuff? And then I go and I want to meditate for an hour. Like where? Like that is like, you just have to like start cutting away at stuff to make time. It's just to what?
Cut away what? I know. I know. Mindful, mindless scrolling. The first step is just putting that, putting your phone away. Yeah, put that away. And focusing on other things. Yeah. I think it's healthy.
I think everybody should take a break from electronics. But boy, is it a difficult thing to do. And there are some people that, I mean, for sure.
And I was going to say, there's a lot of people that like, will make a point to go, I cannot be without it. Like it's a security thing. It's an addiction thing.
It's, it's not easy. But what will I miss? But yeah, nothing. Because it'll be there when you get back.
And we survived without it for a lot of years. So anyway. Okay.
Digital detox, sure. In what form? I don't know. We'll figure it out. Some form. Let's create a plan.
Sure. That's the first step. Yeah, I know. And then try it.
See what happens. I've already squirreled away an hour a day. For your chores.
Yeah, to get stuff done. Right. You're not going to cut that to do a detox.
Because then you can't listen to your podcast while you're doing it. It's not necessarily detoxing, is it? No. Yeah.
Exactly. Would you rather this or that? Would you rather plant a flower bed or a vegetable garden? A vegetable garden is heavy on my mind.
I know it is. The whole backyard is heavy on my mind, actually. I've got a lot of prep work to do in a month.
Because I'm about a month away from planting. Yeah, you are. So. Does that sound exciting? It is very exciting, but I have a lot to do. I've got more beds to make. I've got dirt that I need to get my hands on. I need some good solid topsoil. And I've got to get some good compost so I can build out. Because I'm building a, what? Tripling the size of the garden. Going from two beds to six. I got a lot to do.
Got a lot of projects on our hands this summer. Right. Yeah. But I want to do them on the weeknights so that the weekends are free to explore and camp and enjoy. But yeah, I'm a month away from planting. I got a lot of work to do in the yard before I'm ready to plant.
Well, good thing the weather's nice the next couple of days. I know. Yeah, yeah, it's good.
It's good. No snow in the forecast or rain or extremely crazy wind every day. Never. I'm going to plant the flower gardens because I would rather have flowers than vegetables. I know. You love the flower beds.
I do. I love vegetables too. But I think you're still three weeks or so away from planting flowers.
I'm not ready yet. Yeah. It is fun to wander around the nursery though and go, man, look at all these pretty flowers.
I know. That's why I haven't gone there yet because I'll be too tempted to buy. They had a bunch of bulbs that cost go.
I was like, I know. I should buy a bunch of bulbs. But you don't see them until next year. I know.
Unless you do fall ones or something or late summer. You sent me a really cool thing. I think we got to do that. Like part of the backyard makeovers got to be an obscene amount of bulbs. Because it looks awesome. I agree. Yeah. I really like that. So that's got to happen. Okay.
I'm down for that. Yeah. That was just, those were tulip bulbs. I know. You can mix it up.
That's fine. But that's got to happen because that is really cool. Yes. And we're going to have both. All right.
Where are the vegetables? So we're going to have. We get this and that. Everyone's going to be so jealous of our backyard. Yeah.
They'll be like, whoa. This place. Yeah. Dope.
That's what they'll say. Yeah. You have heard of Usain Bolt. I have. And what do you know about Usain Bolt? It's real fast.
Okay. That's a good thing to know about him. That is true. Would you say he has a plethora of records? Because he does.
He has a plethora of records. Yes. One of those was set in the, what they call under 20 bracket. Or, or yeah, that's the right word. Under 20 bracket.
So. When he was in high school, early college, under 20 years old, he set a record for the 200 meter dash. And he ran that 200 meter dash in 19.93 seconds.
Get out of town. He ran that very quickly. That record just got broken. No. Yes. By whom? Goot, goot. And I'm not making that up. There is an Australian sprinter called Goot, Goot.
He is 18 years old and he just ran it in 19.67. It's spelled G-O-U-T, G-O-U-T. Well, I would pronounce that gout, gout. It gave me the pronunciation as Goot, Goot. Okay. 19.67. He is nearly, what is that, nearly 300s faster. That is crazy.
Yep. He set the new under 20 record. Usain Bolt still holds the overall world record at 19.19. Is he similarly sized? Like, are they the same height? I don't know their stats.
I want to know their leg length. I don't know, but Goot, Goot is something to watch. Because he is super fast.
What is your leg length? He is 18 years old and he is insanely fast. That is crazy. So we're going to be on the lookout for him in the Olympics. Oh, absolutely.
He will be a summer game athlete. Absolutely. You're going to want to watch out for Goot, Goot. Look how tall, I'm going to look how tall Goot, Goot is. Okay. You look at how tall Usain Bolt is. Okay. Because I'm going to see if they're similarly sized. Usain Bolt is 6'5". 6'5". Yep. He is, he's recorded at 6'2".
To 6'2". Okay. Goot, Goot is. Yeah. So he's 6'5". Do you have any distance on his stride at all?
Because here's the thing. This is the big deal, is that the stride, Usain Bolt's stride, he can go 100 meters in about 40 steps. So when he does the 200 meter, he's only taking 80 steps. That's so insane. You got them long legs.
Yeah. I just have little squatty legs. Got little legs.
So they share a similar running style, but Goot, Goot is shorter than Usain Bolt. And it says this, but dude, how crazy to be that fast is flying like the wind. That's why it's windy around here.
Goot, Goot's running like the wind. Anyway, keep your eyes open for this kid. He is 18 and he has taken the running world by storm.
It's pretty impressive. So I'm trying to see if he's got. He is shorter. I mean, he's only 6' and you said Usain Bolt is 6'5".
So he's, but again. Just to give you a comparison. I wonder what the length of their legs are.
Yeah. The stride could be something. So Goot, Goot ran the 200 meter in 19.67. So he is faster than 18 year old Usain Bolt at the same age. Usain did not hit 19.67 until he was 22.
Serious. So it took him four more years to go as fast as Goot, Goot is right now. So this is a big deal. And that was when, uh, when Usain hit that record, he, it was in 2009. So it's been held since then and it's been broken now, which is pretty, pretty impressive. That's crazy. And again, the overall world record is 19.19 still held by Usain Bolt.
But Goot, Goot's coming for you, man. Did you know that Usain Bolt has scoliosis? I don't think I knew that. I didn't know that either until just today. Look at what you found out. Look at it.
What he's doing while he's got a curved spine. Yeah. Pretty impressive. I just don't do that. What, running? Yeah. I know that. All right. I'm going to wrap up the show here.
