Full show transcript:
Okay, I've got some concert topics. We're going to talk about concerts. So I'm going to need you to think about your concerts that you've attended.
Okay, concerts of the past, not upcoming concerts?
Uh, yeah, correct.
Okay, all right, go ahead. All right, what was your first concert? We've talked about this. Yes. It was the terrible Leotard concert.
Oh, yeah, that's right. Who was it again? Do you remember?
It was, uh, oh, Paul Revere in the right? Paul Revere in the right, or that's right. My first concert was Toby Keith at the Cashew County State Fair. Oh, well, good for you. Cashew County Fair, not State Fair, just Cashew County Fair. What was your most recent concert? I think it was Nine Inch Nails. I think that was the latest one we went to. Probably? Yeah? Here in a couple of weeks, it will be the Dead South.
Yes, we're going to the Dead South in a couple of weeks. That's going to be a good show.
I'm excited. Okay, that's your Christmas present. I've been trying to figure out what to wear. Yeah. And I decided that my initial plan was I was going to wear something. But then I feel like if I wear that, I might get confused for being a part of the band. I think everybody's going to be wearing that.
I don't think they are. I don't think you cause plays the band you're going to see, unless you're going to see Kiss.
This is a super folksy blue grassy band. And they're all going to be wearing white shirts and suspenders. You're not going to be out of place. No one's going to mistake you for the band.
They're going to be like, oh, you're in the band? No one's going to be like, I know, I know, we'll meet after the show.
Okay, what was the best concert you ever went to?
The best concert? Yeah. 21 pilots is very high on that.
That's exactly what I was going to say.
That show was so good.
Yeah, they did a great job. What was the worst concert you've ever went to?
Paul Revere in the Raider show wasn't strong.
I was trying to think of, even the worst concerts I've been to were still pretty okay
because I still had a great time. I think if I were to say I had a bad show experience in the early 2000s when I went to the Pop Disaster tour with Jimmy World and Green Day and Blink 182. It was a great show in Salt Lake.
I really enjoyed the show. Company that I was with made it uncomfortable and not nearly as fun as it could have been. I would have had a much better time without that person or with other people. I would have been a much better show.
Right, but it wasn't the band's fault.
That's what I'm saying. But that concert experience was sort of tainted because of that person.
Well, and I would say the same. We went to see a Newfound Glory show. Yeah. They're a punk band from the 90s. Sure. And they had a band opening for them. Dr. Dog was their name. And you interviewed them.
I didn't. I did not interview them. Okay. I was in the back area waiting to interview Newfound Glory and they decided they were going to be like, why are you back here? That's what happened. I never talked to them.
They were rude. We didn't like them. And nobody knew who they were. And then they're... Right. You've told the story. They were rude. And their opening numbers were terrible. And so they'll always be the worst on my list because however they were and also their songs were down.
So... Was it the same show that also had senses fail? Yes. And you did not like their set either? See, this is what happened. Sometimes you go to see one band and the two or three bands they're with, you're like, yeah, I wish I hadn't stuck around for this.
Well, yeah. I remember one time we went to a Taking Back Sunday show in Utah. It was at the Maverick Center in West Valley. Yes. And the opening band was this band called Mates of State.
Oh, yeah. And we hadn't really heard of them and we kind of got there at the end of their opening set. And so we kind of missed out and then they kind of made it big with a song or two. And we went, well, I wish we would have seen that whole set. I forgot about that. Yeah. That was a good show. So sometimes you miss a band that you might like. Correct. Yeah. Weird Al was a great show.
Weird Al was so good. I really enjoyed Weird Al's show. Weezer always puts on a good show. I've never, I haven't seen Weezer. I've seen them twice.
But that's the kind of shows I see is a bunch of punk rock shows like that kind of stuff.
Panic at the Disco was good.
Panic was good. That was kind of the farewell tour for Panic at the Disco. My favorite band, Bayside, I've seen them a handful of times. They're great every time. They are great. They're fun. We've seen your band say anything a while. We've seen them a bunch. Yeah, we have seen a lot.
Paramore is good.
Paramore is good. We've seen them a couple of times. Jimmy World, we're going to see again next month. I'm excited for that show. That's our anniversary. We're going to go see Jimmy World. That's going to be fun. Okay.
Yeah. Go see a concert. It's a lot of fun.
Yeah, live music's great. Go enjoy some, huh?
And here's today's show.
Howdy. Howdy, howdy, hi. What's up? Nothing. What's up with you?
Well, I am up. I am up with me. Hello. You're up with you? I'm here. I am up. That means you're cool with yourself? I'm cool with me. I'm up with me. Cool. Cool. Yeah, yeah, yeah. I'm down with that. I'm up with me. I don't know what's up.
I don't know. I just like to hear you rambling, I guess.
That's kind of fun. I don't know why you made me ramble. I didn't have anything to say. And then you were like, what's up? And I went, I don't know. Me? I'm up with me.
No, we were all there. We all heard it. Yeah. We got it. Oh.
I just wanted to make sure everybody was on the same page. Yeah. Yeah. For sure. What's up, bud? What's up with you? You're yawning.
Yeah. I just was looking outside going like, oh, these are the types of days where you just want to be home with a cup of tea.
Sitting on the couch with your book. Yeah. Hey, how is that book going, by the way? I finished it. Did you?
Yeah. Wow. What a day. I know. When did you finish it? Last night. Let's go. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you.
Okay. So you've seen the movie. Yes.
Did you finish the movie? The book is remarkably bright creatures. Did I what? Did I what?
Did you finish the movie? Yeah. So compare.
Very similar. Yeah. It followed very closely with the book, which I appreciate. Yeah. Yeah. Good. Both good. You're yawning again. I know. I'm sorry.
So they're both good. Yes. Typically you'll say the book is better. Oh, I always think the book is better. Yeah. But this, this go round.
I just like Sally Fields. So anything she is in is good.
When you read it. Yes. You hadn't heard of the book before seeing the trailer. Correct. Did that form the characters in your head? Yes. Well, yes. So as you were reading, you were thinking of those actors. Yeah. In those, as those characters. Sally Fields for sure. Okay. Gotcha. Well fun. Same big reveal at the end in the book. Nothing different.
No. Yeah. I mean just a few differences, but nothing major. Yeah. Well, I'm not going to spoil it for anybody.
I'm, I'm just asking.
But yeah, no, it was good.
Glad I finished it. Cool. Yeah. So you're up with that.
I am up with reading.
Nice. Nice. That one goes in the library. What are you planning on doing with it?
I don't know. Here's the thing. I know. About my library. I only keep the books that I love and I know I'm going to read again. I don't know if I'll necessarily keep that one.
So that's one you could borrow out and you wouldn't feel bad about. No. Excellent. Because it's in demand. I know. People are looking for that book. How do you know?
Because you, you had to take it back to the library weeks late. And they were like, no. Yeah. And you can't check it out again. There's a multi-person hold on this book.
There's people waiting for this. And I went, oh, fine. I'll buy it.
Well, good job finishing your book. Thank you, Josh. Now you got to pick a new book to start. I already have one. Oh, do you? I was going to say that's a process for you, but you already started. It is a process for me. Yeah. Because you have to finish talking about one set of characters before you can start on another. Oh, good job, Josh. Yeah, I know.
It's hard for me to start a new book because, yeah, you're right. I don't like meeting new people. And getting involved in a new storyline. It's hard. It's a struggle to get through those first couple of chapters. And then when I'm in, I'm in.
So what's your new book?
The Devil in the White City. I don't know anything about it. Yeah, you do. It's the H.H. Holmes book. I told you about this one. Okay.
Is this vaguely familiar? See, I listen to everything. I know. I just don't remember.
It's all right. This one's going to be kind of like a scary one. Oh, man.
Oh, I know which one this is. Yeah. Okay. You remember now? Yes, I do. All right. Well, good deal. Good luck. Thanks, buddy. Thanks. And good morning. Did you hear the story of Ruger Woodruff? I did not.
Well, you're about to because it's good news. 11 months ago, the Woodruff family, they're in Colorado Springs. They adopted a dog named Ruger. He had just retired from a canine program. And just a few days after bringing Ruger at Ruger home, Chad Woodruff decided to bring him along to the barber shop that he owns.
And he made sure to pack everything that a shop dog could need. But things went terribly wrong. Oh, no. A customer arrived early and as soon as the door opened, Ruger darted outside in the van.
Oh, no. The community launched a massive search, but Ruger managed to evade everyone for an entire year. And everyone involved was frightened for Ruger because it's hard to imagine how a domesticated dog would survive a brutal Colorado winter all on his own. That mystery was recently solved as regulars at a local golf course started spotting Ruger living out in the wild with a pack of coyotes. Coyotes, if you like. Ruger didn't just survive. The wild coyotes completely accepted him and the golf course crew thinks they even let him crash in the old coyote den to stay warm.
Oh. No kidding. After nearly a year on the run, animal control finally caught up with Ruger. And aside from being a little bit dirty, he didn't have any signs of injury or any scratches on him or anything like that. And he's now back home where he belongs, making up for some lost time. His human family is thrilled at how quickly he adjusted back into life with humans and is enjoying every moment of having him home. According to Chad, he's officially retired from his wilderness adventures now as well and soaking up the indoor life under approximately 47 layers of supervision. I'm sure he's like, oh man, you guys should have seen that coyote den. This is much better.
Yeah, it was all rock. Anyway, way to go Ruger.
Ruger just making himself at home. Listen, he worked his life away. He said, I'm retired now. I want a little break. Leave me alone. Yeah, I gotta go.
I gotta take a year of adventure. Yeah, I gotta go adventure for a minute. Yeah. I'm gonna go hang out with the coyotes.
I'm going to the golf course with the coyotes. Make your best coyote. The yip.
Okay, go for it. No. 3, 2, 1, go. No, let me hear you. 3, 2, 1, and go.
Let me hear you do a wolf. No. Because I think that's what you think you're gonna get.
No, coyote is more high-pitched. They do it like a, yeah.
Like a what? You almost did it. That's good news. Big day for space today as the crew for Artemis 3 gets announced at 9 a.m. today. Really? Yeah, so these are the astronauts that will be flying aboard Artemis 3, the mission that will test the docking capabilities with commercial landers in low earth orbit. And this is a very important step to crewed lunar, crewed, not crewed, crewed lunar landing.
So what they'll be testing, they'll go up in the same spacecraft that Artemis 2 went in, but there will be in space other vessels, vehicles that they will then dock to and exit the Orion spacecraft into those other spaceships to test that capability, because that will be a major function of being able to get to and from the moon, which is pretty cool. So that all of that happens while in low earth orbit circling everything. So they won't be going back to the moon to test all this. They'll go up into space, test these different maneuvers, and then return. That's the Artemis 3 mission. But that crew will be announced today at 9 a.m.
How do they announce their crew? Do they have a pool of people that they're like, yeah, maybe?
They have a whole bunch of different astronauts, yeah.
And then how do they determine who gets to go?
It's probably like an NFL draft. I've never watched, I don't know. I watched it. But at 9 a.m., they will be doing that announcement. Now, here's something else that's cool that's going on. They have some new technology in their spacesuits for this go-around. There is a liquid cooling and ventilation garment. It's like a suit they wear under the suit. And this particular suit happens to have been developed in a partnership with Prada. Oh, yes. So fashionable.
That's right. It's kind of similar to what you've seen like race car drivers wear. It's got a bunch of tubes that move liquid to cool down the person wearing it. Because it's got to get hot in one inside all of that other gear, inside of that small vessel as it's hurling toward Earth on fire. I mean, those are kind of hot situations. So you want to keep things cool. Yeah, yeah. You put on your Prada tube suit.
Is it, hold on.
What is it? Just keep going. Okay. I'm going to do some research on something. Okay. It does have the Prada logo and the red rectangular lines of its sportswear brand can be seen on the garment. But that's an interesting partnership where you go, hey, we make fashion, but we could make a cooling suit.
Okay. But wouldn't you want something that's made by people who know how to do clothing? For sure. You absolutely want them to have the best of the best. Right.
Did you get a look at the suit? No. Oh, okay. It's pretty cool. I mean, it's the Prada's moon spacesuit, something. Prada, something from Prada.
Prada's space, suit space Prada.
Yeah, you know. It's just like a gray onesie looking thing, but it's covered with tubes. Yeah, I see it. And the tubes have all the cooling capability in there and ventilation so you get airflow and stuff. That's kind of fun, huh?
Space is so cool. Yeah. Let's go learn about space some more, guys. We're working on it. I want to see another Artemis mission because that was fun to watch. Yeah.
We've got Artemis 3's crew announced today 9 AM R time 11 Eastern. So this morning, within a couple of hours, we'll know who's going to be part of the session. How many people for? Okay, now, originally, I thought there was going to be one crew, but then they were talking about depending on the vessels that they use because SpaceX and Blue Origin, they're both creating that module that they'll dock to.
So there may be two crews. I don't know. I don't know the answer to that. Okay. But for sure, Artemis 3 will announce that at 9 and then we'll know more.
Okay, cool. Good luck to the people who are in the running. Yeah. I want to go to space. You do? Yeah, they'll never pick me though because I'm not smart enough.
I mean, Bezos might put you up real high. Maybe not all the way in space, but it puts people up high.
I just don't also have enough money. I'm poor. Okay. Shout out to all the parents who have kids that are home for the summer because if you're a working parent and you go home at the end of the day, the house is not the way it was when you left it in the morning.
That's the truth. If you're a stay at home parent, you're probably constantly cleaning up after everything your kids are doing.
Yeah, that was definitely because, I mean, even a dog can't keep toys put away. No.
So I try to make it look nice when I leave the house and then when I come home and there are four of us and three of us are out of the household. What's going on in that place? And we have old kids. We have old kids.
I know. What's going on in that place?
Well, I'll tell you, I hear was my initial shout out too is if you've created a chore chart for your kids, I hope that's working. If you've got some kind of reward system, I hope that's working. I know we've done that in years past.
Oh yeah. I haven't done a chore chart in a long time because my kids are old. They could use a chore chart. I will say that I could probably use a chore chart with my old kids.
Dry erase boards on their doors that we used to have lists of like, here's the things you need to get done today. They're still hanging. Uh huh. You've got to start implementing the dry erase board again.
I asked a 16 year old yesterday to unload the dishwasher and when I got home, the dishwasher had been unloaded, but there was a lot of dishes on the counter that were not put away.
I asked as well because she was headed to voice lessons and I said, Hey, did you empty the dishwasher? And she goes, Yeah. And I said, What is all this? And she said, I got to go to see you. Oh, okay. Why?
I got to. And then there was a bunch of dirty dishes in the sink and I said, He part of loading or unloading the dishwasher is also loading. It's a, it's a two-stepper.
That's right. It's like when I asked you to take out the garbage, you got to put a new bag. You got to finish the job. Right. Well, you didn't tell me to load.
You just told me to unload the dishes. Well I also meant to load the dishes. Yeah, yeah. Yeah.
You're old people now.
And there wasn't that many. There was maybe like five dishes in the sink. They were dishes from whatever meals you cooked today. Come on. Come on. So now I got to make a chore chart for my old kids. Now, to be fair, the 21 year old is working most of the time. So I get it. But the 16 year old might need a chore chart. What kind of kind of rewards can we put on there?
Internet access.
Hey, smart.
Access to the TV and the streaming services. What do you mean? What kind of reward? You live here. What?
I did hear once there was a parent who had, they changed their Wi-Fi password every day. And they said, in order to get the Wi-Fi password, you have to show me that you've completed this and this.
Do you know what a hassle it is to do that in our house? Because I have different apps and devices connected to Wi-Fi.
I know. I get it. Yuck. That's why we've never done it. But it's clever. Yeah. It's clever.
If you only have Wi-Fi access, if that's the only way you have to get on the internet.
That's fair. Because we also have data.
Now there's data on phones.
They can do a work around the Wi-Fi.
Yeah, it's not like. So that's not going to work. Right.
Right. Let's see the reward system. You get to live here for free. That's what I said.
You live here. Do something. I think it would be appropriate. It was when I was a kid. My friends had the same kind of setup. People I hung out with were in a similar boat where even on a school night, you had a set of things you had to get done before you could hang out.
Go hang out with your friends.
Yeah. And it changed all the time. But it was like, I can't hang out right away because I have to go and I have to vacuum the basement or whatever it was. Or I have to, this particular thing, I have to get done. And then sometimes you'd be like, well, but you rode with me. I'm dropping you off because for whatever reason. And so then it was like, I'm just going to hang out at your house while you do your chores. Do you ever have to do that?
That was lame. And I'd be like, can I help? Like, can you give me a dust rag or something so we can speed this up?
Like, what can I do? Do you want to do your friend's house? Yeah, you never did that. I never. Ah.
Yeah, it was important because I wanted to hang out. Now I got to wait. You didn't do this before? No, I mean, give me a broom, I guess. Let's go. You got paintball. Let's go do something else.
What kind of chores did you have to do at your friend's house?
Are you like vacuuming dusting, sweeping normal stuff? Yeah. And nothing weird. Like I wasn't like cleaning a toilet or anything.
No, I just watched my friends do their chores. Yeah, no. Let's go. Mostly because their parents were like, you're not going to make them do, you're not going to make your friend do your chores.
You didn't do that. Isn't that weird? It's a weird thing. Like I'm already here. Like we're already hanging out, but okay, go do your chores. I guess. I'll sit here with your parents who I don't know.
But now as an adult, I don't know. It'd be if you go to visit your friend's house.
Hold on, I got to do my laundry. Hang on. You know what? I wouldn't mind though. No, I know. I'd be like, come keep me company in the laundry room. Yeah, here, hold on. I got to scrub the tub. Come on. Come sit down and talk to me while I scrub the tub. I'm okay.
No, I think that'd be fun.
The middle of a hangout, you're like, oh, I got to mow. Hold on. I got to mow the lawn real quick.
That's a little different.
You want to weed eat real fast so I can get this done quicker? Hey, this might be.
Oh, is that it? We're going to invite people over to do our chores. Okay. Yeah.
Here's our summer chore chart. It's friends, come over.
Hey, we're going to have a barbecue. Yeah. You want to eat? You got to sweep. That tub needs a scrub.
I got to, I'm cleaning out the shed. So we're going to have to carry a bunch of stuff.
What size are you? What size of gloves do you wear? Small, medium, large? Yeah, I got a whole bunch. Have you ever been vacuuming and then the vacuum isn't like really picking up stuff properly? And so then you're like, what is going on? So you have to tear it apart a little bit. You have to, well, let me back up.
I didn't necessarily tear it apart. We have an attachment and I took, we have a Kirby because a long time ago we were condensifying and Kirby from a door to door salesman.
I am so ready for this conversation to begin. You had three intros so far. Where are we going? Okay. Okay.
We, I opened the, hold on.
I know what? What are you even talking about? I don't know. We have a vacuum. We have a vacuum. It's a Kirby. Right. You were doing some vacuuming yesterday? It was. Okay.
And I needed to get the attachment, the hose. Okay. And so I took off the big part. I don't know what that part's called.
Whatever the main brush? Sure. You had to take that off to attach the hose.
Get the hose on. And I noticed there was a bunch of like thread.
Wrapped around the motor. Correct.
And so I was like, well, I got to get some scissors and take that off. Well, that's good. That's a problem. Because I had vacuumed my craft room after I had been quilting. So it was kind of a problem.
So then I looked at the bottom. That's why it felt smells hot these days.
Right. Got it. I looked at the bottom of the little sweeper part, the big part. And I went, oh no, that's a problem. Okay.
Let me ask you, hold on. Okay, go. The brush thing on the, on the big part, the big brush. Yeah. Has a cover and you can take that cover off and you take that whole thing out. And it's like a paper towel tube. Yeah. Did you do that?
I did not take the paper towel tube out. Right. Okay.
So you just fought with it while I was still in there.
Mostly I was afraid to take it out because I was afraid I wouldn't know how to put it back in.
Just pay attention to how it comes out. You'll put it right back in.
So I just took, I left it in there. Now I would just cut, cut, cut, cut, cut. There was a bunch of hair and thread and all kinds of gross stuff. I spent about like 20 minutes cleaning that thing out.
This is what happens when you do a project. Yeah, I know. And our daughter has this same affliction. She called me into her room the other day and said, look how clean it is in my windowsill. Like in the, in the little spot cause she got out Q-tips to clean it. And I went, oh no.
It has to be done at some point, Josh. Does it? Yeah. Those things get ick.
You gotta, you gotta clean them out. So keep going with the vacuum.
Okay. Cut all the strings out. So I got it. It looks really nice except there's a, there's a part under the belt that I can't get to. The belt moves.
How? So when you turn the big knob on there that locks the brush in place. If you turn that the other way, it gets loose and you can move it around. I'm going to need you to show me that later. It's, that's all there is to it. You just unlock the belt and then you can move the belt to the side. That's it. That's all you have to do.
Okay. I need to do that part cause that's the only part I didn't do it and that part's driving me crazy because I tried as best I could to get underneath there but I couldn't. But I spent 20 minutes cleaning out that dumb old vacuum.
Okay. So you started vacuuming. Yes. It wasn't working.
No, it was working fine. I had to take off the, I needed to put the attachment on.
Yeah, just because you did that. So when you went to put on the hose, you saw all the strings and went, I got to fix that. Yeah. So did you end up vacuuming with the hose at all?
Yeah, both. I vacuumed with both.
Yeah. What I'm saying is that you didn't just get distracted by the string project and then go, all right, I'm done. I'm not vacuuming.
No, I'm, I did. I finished my vacuuming.
Where is the vacuum now? In the living room. Is it, are you done vacuuming? Nope. That's why it's- Where is the hose? In the living room. On top of a box. Correct. Right, I saw that. Yeah. So when do you plan on using the vacuum again?
When do you plan on taking those boxes out of the living room? Is my question to you?
Hold on. No. No, hold on. You answer first. I don't know. One of these days. Listen. I haven't started that project. Go. When is the vacuum not going to be in the living room?
I don't know, Josh, because here's the thing. I was looking around and I am overwhelmed by the amount of stuff that needs to happen in the house and I was like, here's the thing. I need to take an hour a day and just kind of like focus on a room and do it. So yesterday I was like, this is my new plan. I've had this plan before, but I'm re-energized. Oh, good. So yesterday was the living room.
Yeah, I saw you up dusting.
I'm going to take an hour and I'm going to dust. I'm going to wash the window and I'm going to vacuum. Those are the three things I'm going to focus on.
Okay. And I completed those within an hour, minus the 20 minutes that I spent cleaning the vacuum. That doesn't count.
That's a side quest. So then today is the kitchen. So I'm going to focus on sweeping and mopping. You get an hour in the kitchen. You get an hour in the kitchen to sweep and mop, clean out the counters, the microwave needs some attention.
And I'm just going to... Well, so I better get my stuff out of there quick before you get to when you need to do your hour. Because I know if my stuff's in the way, you're going to have a fit at me about it. Yes, I am. Or all my stuff will just end up in a pile in the garage.
I was going to do that yesterday with your pile in the living room. Yeah. I was like, I'm going to move this to the garage. And then I went, no, I'm not going to because if I move it to their garage, then he's never going to get to it. If it's in the living room, then you might get to it because at least you're seeing it every day.
Does that mean get to it because I'm seeing it every day? Mm-hmm. Oh, okay. Yeah, yeah, all right. I'll send a text or something. I'll work on it.
A text of what?
I got to take care of that project.
Okay, yeah. That'd be great. Yeah. Great. Thanks, dear. You're welcome. Good job with the vacuum.
So over the weekend, the Hot Wheels Monster Truck Tour hit Boise. Yes. They took over the Smurf Turf. They turned the football stadium into a monster truck arena. Mm-hmm. They had all kinds of footage that I saw, but one of the big moments, did you see? I did. Smashton Jante. I did see this. Ashton Jante returned to Boise State. He did. To the stadium, driving a monster truck. Smashton Jante. I saw that. Yeah.
It was pretty cool.
Was it? I thought it was kind of cool. When he crawled out of there and he took his helmet off and ran around and amped up the crowd, I went, yeah, man, now we're talking.
Have you seen the promo photos for Kirk Cousins as the new Raiders quarterback? No. Oh, they're pretty cute.
All right, let's look that up. What are we looking at? Raiders, Kirk Cousins, what?
I don't know. I just saw it on Kirk Cousins Instagram.
Okay. That's where I saw it. Well, let's go to Kirk Cousins Instagram, which I don't follow. He's at Kirk Cousins. All right.
Why aren't you following him?
You're looking at his photo here, his number eight in his black and silver. Yep. And you're saying that he's looking cute.
I just, I think it's funny. He looks so tough.
I'm looking at this last picture where he's flexing his arms.
Where he's pretending to be
like, oh, I'm a big, crazy man. Greater nation. Yeah. Oh, Kirk.
That's one of the things I like about him so much is he's just kind of like a, he's just kind of a nerd-o. Kirk-o the nerd-o, right? Like he shops with coals and he gets his hair kind of great clips. Yeah.
What do you think his coals cash looks like?
Probably pretty good. That is so good. Dude, dude rolls in coals cash. I just think, but he's just wholesome and nice. And then he's like, all right, you got to go intimidate the players. And he's like, okay, what am I supposed to do?
And they're like, I don't know. Flex your arms and like grit your teeth and look tough. And he's like, yeah.
And the other players are like,
they were like Kirk, it wasn't that like, no, we're going to have to try something else. How funny.
I think he's cute. I don't know. I have to watch the Raiders more because I like Kirk Cousins. Yeah. He's just, he's a cute guy.
What would his monster truck be called? If Ashton's is called smashed and janty, what would Kirk Cousins monster truck be called? I don't know. I don't know either. I have to think about that for a minute.
I don't think he'd be in a monster truck because I don't know. It's too nice. It's too nice for that. He'd be like, I don't want to hurt anybody.
He's not hurting anybody. No, I don't want to destroy these nice cars. These have value. I know they took the engines out and they were, you know, pretty dead, but look at how nice they are.
It's so funny. No, that's cool. Did he have anything to say? Ashton, Chantel.
I never really heard.
Why was he in the monster truck?
Yeah, like, is this like, he's got that first year of football money and he's like, I guess I'm going to do this monster truck thing I've been wanting to do for a long time. I don't know. I want first year football money. Wouldn't you like that?
That'd be nice, right? Yeah, it would be really nice. Yeah, first year football money. What am I going to do with all this money?
And then you go, what did I do with all that money? Yeah, exactly. That's how that goes. It's come easy go, they say.
Beck is on a softball team with his co-workers and they play, you know, once a week. They play softball. They play softball. Yeah. So I went last night and it's just like a rec league.
It's nothing super fancy or intense or anything like that. But as his game was winding up, there was another team coming in, a couple of other teams coming in and it was so cute. Me and Emery were sat right behind the catcher, like right behind home plate. Well, good seats.
They were good seats. And the team that's walking by, one of the players goes, oh, we have the good umpire tonight. And I watched the umpire turn around to see who said it. And he has this like smile on his face and he was like, oh, and his whole attitude, like it was just the umpire. It was the sweetest little thing. That's nice. Because he had overheard a compliment and he was like, I'm the good umpire. The one thing guys, like
his whole, he wants ump of the year.
He wants that award. Vibe changed and it was just, it was just nice.
You know what? That's what you got to do guys. When you go to the pros and you're sitting behind the home plate, instead of like criticizing the ump for being blind or whatever, you got to go like, oh, we got the good refs. We got the good ump. And then, you know, name the team, be like, yo, the
coyotes, we are going to win because we got a good ump. And then he goes, oh, okay, coyotes likely.
All right.
You know what else was cute? Here's another thing that was cute that I remembered. There, the other team was slightly better than, and that the team that our son is playing with. And they, they had a short woman on their team. And that came out to bat and the catcher, the one for the other team was like, hey, is that, do you have another bat to use? And she was like, no, this is the only one. And she was like, hold on, hold on, hold on.
And she ran to her dug out and got a couple of different batches. Like these are really good for your height. Like she was a shorter woman. She was like, use these. These are going to be much better for you.
And then way to help the other team win.
And she struck out. Okay. And then the catcher was like, no, no, no, no, no. She's like, ump, can, can she have another chance? Like let's give her another chance. Like let's have her go again. Yeah. And all the rest of the team was like, yeah, yeah, yeah, you got this.
It was like a nice, did she hit the ball the next couple pitches? She did not.
But it was really, it was a nice like, that is a nice moment. Sportsman like conduct. And it was, it was just really sweet.
That is good. And the good ump let it all happen. He did.
Yeah, we got good ump. We got the good ump. Yeah.
I think that's a good strategy to say. Yeah. Instead of, instead of going, oh, the other team paid off the refs go, I should have complimented the refs more. Take some ownership, you know? Yeah, right.
Yeah. Take some accountability. It's your fault. You're the fan of the team that lost because you didn't compliment the ump enough. Yeah, you were second up more. You got to lift the ump up.
It was nice. I just liked that moment. I wish you could have seen his smile.
It was the cutest little thing. That's awesome. Everybody needs a little compliment and recognition every now and then. Yeah, they do. That's nice. Even umpire.
Well, and here's the thing. He's probably donating his time.
I think they get paid. Do they? Yeah.
Okay. Probably not much. Probably not much. But people are probably mean to the umpires a lot because they have to enforce all the rules. That's correct. And so they're like, ugh, this guy. I'm going to find out. What are you going to find out? If they get paid. If they get paid. Here's the other thing I know. It is hard, even as old as your kids get, it is hard watching your kids try and succeed at something, isn't it?
Yeah. I get that. I mean, look, here's what it says. This is just the AI overview on a quick Google search. It's per game pay and they're generally $15 to $25 per game. So it's not much. Okay. Yeah.
It's not much and it's still their time.
They're still to be there. Oh, absolutely. You bet you. And people are probably still mean to them. Yeah. So. Yeah. But that's, that's what I know. It's very little, but that's what I was able to quickly find out. Good Google searchin', Josh. Yeah. Good job. I mean, there's a whole, there's a whole post on here for fast pitch umpires and they get paid like up to 60 bucks. Yeah.
You know what I love about summer? I like, What is it? I like the sound of like a baseball bat. Hitting a ball. Yeah. It sounds so cool. That is a nice sound of summer.
Yeah. Smacking dingers, they call it. You like that. You guys crack.
And then there was, it was getting a little bit dark last night because they had a pretty late game. So it was maybe like nine o'clock. Yeah. And so the lights came on on the field and the one, there was one guy who hit a home run and you could see the ball
like cruising and in the shadows and the light. And I was like, this feels like summer. Oh, nice. It's just kind of exciting. Give me a hot dog. I think after I said they call that the dinger thing, I think that's with an aluminum bat because it makes a ding sound.
Yeah. It makes a different noise. Yeah. Then one.
I like, that's, that's a nice sound of summer. You got lawnmowers, you got baseball bats.
Kids playing in the neighborhood. Yeah. Yeah. Those are good sounds.
Those are good sounds of summer. And I like it.
I just out loud said, yay. That's the same noise I made when you didn't tell me there was a problem, but let me, as you said, discover it on your own. So that's fun.
I was going to tell you, okay, here's what happened. Okay. I noticed that our disposal was not disposaling. And this happened, I think I noticed it on Saturday and I went, oh no. But you were busy with other stuff. And I said, I'm not going to tell them this is not the right time. You're busy preparing for the second chance prom. You were doing all this stuff.
And I said, I'm not going to tell them about this right now. And then Sunday, I kind of forgot about it. And then Sunday happens and I go, oh, I forgot about the disposal. Yeah.
And I'm standing there and you were washing some dishes and the sink was kind of filling up and I went to hit the switch on the wall and it goes, meh. And I went, oh no. No, I said, immediately I went,
oh, and you want the bat news. Yeah. And you said, I don't know. And then you hit the switch on your own. I go, there it is. You found it on your own. You discovered the bat news.
Which then I found out was your plan all along. What your plan all along was, I'm not going to tell him and then he's going to go to use the disposal and then it's going to go meh and he's going to go, great. Now I have to fix that. You knew about it for days.
I knew about it for one day.
I hate plumbing so much.
That's why I didn't want to tell you.
So much. I know. And so I got under the sink and plugged the thing and then I, because I don't want to have to deal with it. I looked down into the drain. I got a screwdriver and the blades are turning. So why is it going meh, like something's jammed up and the motor can't turn. Right. And then you said, well, I did break that little flute glass in the sink.
So there could be some glass in there. Oh yeah. They're good.
Cool. So now if there's glass in there, I can't reach my hand in. That's why I didn't reach my hand in there.
Because I'm not going to cut my hand up with glass. So I'm trying to use different tools and stuff to kind of see if I can dislodge something. I can't tell what's going on in there.
So it's still unplugged and now I get to take apart the plumbing and take the disposal down and look at it with my eyeballs and see if I can see. I hate it so much. I hate it so much. So much.
I know. I'm sorry. I didn't want to tell you.
Yeah, I know. And you didn't. And then I found out for myself. Yay. I said.
But you also determined that our particular brand of disposal is also...
Well, it has a three-year home warranty and it's older than three years. But of course it's out of warranty if there's something wrong with the motor. If there's nothing jammed in there and it has to be replaced, I don't know what to tell you.
Then we just replace it. Is it easier to replace it than it is to fix it?
Depends on what I find once I take it down.
Holy moly. Garbage disposal is expensive. Sheesh. Yeah.
I know. I've already replaced it once.
I just couldn't remember how much it was. Too much. Do we need one? I don't know yet. No, I know. I'm just saying. Do we need a disposal at all? Maybe we just get it just a drain.
Yeah, right. Because then I'll be dealing with a bunch of gunk in the drain because no one will use the little screen because then they're going to have to touch gross food that was in the sink.
Yeah, right. I don't want to listen to all the dry heaving from the kitchen table every time we make a meal and somebody has to do a dish. Oh, that food in the... Come on.
I'm sorry about the disposal. This one might be my fault because of the glass that I broke in there. But I thought I got all the pieces. Here's what happened. It broke and then I went, and I gathered all the pieces and then you kind of look at the glass and you kind of put it together like a puzzle and you're like, okay, I think I have all the pieces. So I really did like look to see do I have all of the pieces here.
Great. If there's no glass in there, there's a whole different problem and now we got to spend more money on stupid stuff. I know. Like a disposal.
That's not even fun. That is not even fun. Yuck. I hate spending my money on dumb stuff.
I hate plumbing. It's the worst. Being an adult is the worst. And kitchen plumbing? Yuck.
That's all bad. Kitchen... Hey, our neighbor is a plumber. Do you want me to call him? No.
Okay. It's two bolts and a little thing. I can handle it. I just hate being under the sink. I know. It's a terrible place. I know. And I've been there like already three times this year.
Yuck. Do you remember that video you watched? And this was a while ago and it's like a family puts down a tablecloth.
It's not even a tablecloth. They cover the table in foil and then they dump all the food in the middle. It's the grossest thing. Do you know what I mean? And it's so gross.
Okay. I got something for you. Oh, great. My sister sent it to me when I said, Josh will hate this when I show him. Why? Okay. It's a similar situation except it's nachos and they've got instead of a chocolate fountain, it's a fountain, but it's nacho cheese and everyone's digging in with their nachos. There's chips and there's meat and there's...
Oh, come on. People are dropping chips everywhere. They're dripping cheese all over. They just have like giant dollops of sour cream sitting around on the table. The only thing in a bowl is the salsa. What is going on? Here, you want some more sour cream? Let me blop some down on the table there for you, Bob. Oh, this is awful. I don't care for this.
I know you don't. That's why I wanted to show you. Um, what?
Whatever you're about to ask, no. Would you prefer a family spaghetti or a family nacho?
Give me a break. I don't understand the point of these.
To get people to watch it on the internet and be disgusted?
Well, that worked because you're watching it disgusted. Yeah, it's gross. I don't like it. I'm not going to share my nachos with the whole family.
It's one thing to make like, oh, here's what I'll do. I'll cook up some taco meat or nacho meat. Okay. I'll get a cookie sheet out. I'll put some chips on there. Lay on some cheese, build some basic nachos. Chips, cheese, meat, some nacho cheese, and that's it.
Great. That goes in the oven so the cheese can melt, gets nice and warm. I take that out, use a spatula, whatever, to take a portion of what's on the cookie sheet and put it on your own plate. And from there, dress it up how you want.
Sour cream, guacamole, olives, salsas, tomatoes, onions, put on it what you want. Yeah. Go to the table with your plate, eat your nachos. Yeah.
They're your nachos on your plate. Correct. Tada. Tada. That's a family nacho.
Nah. This, I guarantee the chips were not warmed up. The chips were laid upon the table in a ring around the nacho cheese fountain. Yes. Which is, which I will say that nacho cheese fountain is working really good. I know. Like I've seen some fountains that fail.
That one's doing a good job. But then you've got all these cold chips with the, with the meat on them. There's no beans at all. It's just cold chips. There's no shredded cheese. And that's why everything's fallen off the chips. And then you watch them drip and it's just grossing me out. I just can't even. I will say it's not as bad as spaghetti.
Spaghetti's worse. That's what I was going to ask you. You did ask. Which one do you prefer? You did ask me. I did ask, but you didn't answer.
I'm getting to it. Okay. Spaghetti's worse because it's a whole table of noodles and sauce and if you decide to do meatballs they're just floating around on your table. I just.
And everyone just dives in. Are dishes that hard? No, they're not. I don't understand the point of these. I don't, I don't know. Are people actually eating like this or is this just a waiting?
Here's what happened. Some of these folks went to Joe's Crab Shack and had a crab boil where they dump the milk can out on your table. And they were like, look, I got corn on the cob and potatoes and bunch of shellfish. Look at all this butter I get to dip it in. And they had that fun experience. And then they went, you know what would be fun is if I did this with other foods at home. Stop it. The crab boil thing is gross too.
I knew you'd love it. I was excited to show you. I wish you hadn't. Well, can't go back now, Josh.
You know what's frustrating? Say what? Marketing. Okay. Marketing is frustrating. Okay. I was doing some backpacking recipe demo last night at our scout meeting, kind of trying to do some new recipes and show the scouts and the adults and parents and stuff in the room that you can, you can make really good food on the trail. You don't have to just eat dehydrated or rehydrated meals, right? You can actually cook and have nice food. So the recipe I was making is a pretty simple chicken and rice dish. And the recipe called for instant rice. Well, that's a lie.
Depends on what your definition of instant is. Right now.
There's one definition of instant and it's almost immediate.
What was your, how long did your rice take to cook? Five minutes? More than that.
I was quite upset because we were running short on time. There were two people cooking me and one of the other leaders and we had all of our stuff out and what we're cooking. At the same time, we're kind of talking about different things you can use and mashed potatoes and, you know, this and that and the other, right? And all these different packaged meats that are shelf stable and that you can carry in your backpack and look at, here's my bag of sauce packet.
It's like all of this kind of fun stuff. While I'm waiting for rice to cook and it's taken forever. It was forever rice last night. It was crazy. How long did it really take? Over 10 minutes. Over 10? Yes. And so I'm thinking like, did I do something wrong? Like what happened? I got instant rice. It says on the box, instant.
That means now. That's false advertising.
So then I just looked this morning, how long does it take to cook instant rice? And the reason it's called instant rice because it's already pre-cooked once. So it's basically cooked rice that they then dehydrate and then you rehydrate the cooked rice. If that makes any sense. So it's not raw rice. Pre-cooked. Okay. And it's supposed to take anywhere from 60 seconds to five minutes.
That's a lie. 60 seconds is instant. I mean, that's pretty instant.
That's not instant. That's a minute. That's a minute. Rice. Which is also a lie because if you look at the instructions on the back, it says longer than a minute. Okay. Anyway, you're supposed to boil one to one ratio water to rice. I did that. I had two cups of water, two cups of rice because I doubled the recipe. Put that all in there. It's on my little backpacking stove, boiling.
Everything's cool. Turn off the heat. Put the lid on after I gave it a little stir and I'm letting it soak in the hot water. And I check on it and I'm like, this is not getting done. It's very watery.
What is happening? I measured properly. They say let it sit for five minutes. I went, okay, I'm gonna let it sit. I let it sit for 10 minutes. It's still very watery.
I'm like, what is going on with this rice? So I turned the heat back on. I was like, maybe I need more heat.
I'll let it heat up some more. And then we moved on to an entirely separate part of the meeting and I went, we'll see if this rice ever gets done. By the time I got to the end of the meeting, we had finished up. Everybody's getting ready to leave and I went, hey, my rice is done.
Ridiculous. My instant rice is now finished.
In an instant. So I'm not stoked about instant rice being a liar, but that's what I, that's why I learned.
What about instant potatoes? How long do those cook?
Well, those are fast. I cook those. Mash potatoes, the instant potatoes. Those are pretty instant. They hit water, you have mashed potatoes.
Yes. That's instant. That is instant.
That's what I want out of rice. I want rice to get wet and go boom, I'm rice. How do I make that happen? I don't know, Josh. Because those potatoes get wet and they go boom, I'm potatoes. Mash potatoes. I am mashed potatoes right now. Instant. Uh-huh.
I kind of want some of those mashed potatoes.
Those instant mashed potatoes. We got like 80 bags. They're so good. So big one. Okay. Okay. They're so good. I love those and they are so fast. If you're like, I just want some potatoes, but I don't want to have to boil. Yeah. Instant potatoes. And they are potatoes right now in an instant. Rice, take note. I noticed a photo you posted on our socials from dinner last night. Yep. Good looking quesadilla.
It was a delicious quesadilla.
Yeah. Thank you. Yeah. Megan also said the quesadillas look delicious. And I agree, Megan. You know what you're talking about.
Those were very good.
I have one of them for lunch today. There should have been two. Is there two in there? There's two in there. Whoa.
Lucky day. You know, right.
You posted this picture because you feel like you were forced to eat dinner with my rock crawler sitting next to you. Oh, well. You were not forced.
I mean, as we're making our plates and going to sit down for dinner, everybody sits down to dinner. And I noticed it there earlier and I went, okay, cool. That dirty LRC car that's been out and about in the yard. Yeah. Who knows where.
It was just on the rock pile. It's sitting on the table, on top of the table. Yeah. You couldn't have put it. There's a chair that you could have put it on. There's the floor that you could have put it on.
No, I don't want to get stepped on. No, you put it on the piano. You put it on the table. Why the piano? I was thinking maybe you could have put it on the piano. That was kind of also in that same vicinity area. I mean, I could have taken it downstairs, but I wasn't done with it. I was planning on driving it.
Yeah. So put it on the table. Yeah. Where we eat food. Yeah. That's a good idea. And put it in this my spot. That's where I eat.
So both Megan and also Crystal agree that, yes, they do get forced to eat dinner with their kids or spouses toys on the dinner table. That is something that does happen. Yeah. It's a great central location for things to gather.
It's where everything gets piled up, isn't it? Most often your stuff.
Yeah. Right now it's covered in backpacking gear. Yeah, I know. Yeah. There's a great space laying out your stuff.
You most often have your stuff piled on the table. Yeah. Most often it's your stuff. There used to be days when there would be slime. I would find that wasn't my stuff. I understand. But there was remnants of slime that inhabited the tables. Nail polish has been there. There's all kinds of stuff.
But look at the history that table has.
That table can tell stories. It really can. Yeah. I look around sometimes while I'm eating. I'm like, yeah, that's nail polish. That's food dye from slime. That's hair dye right there. That's mud from Josh's rock crawler. That's a scratch from when you did Who Knows What. I did? Yeah. There's a big old gouge in the table from something you did. Yeah, I
can't remember. I put something heavy on there and it scratched it up.
Yeah. What was it? Do you remember? No. I don't remember either.
I remember it scraped across and I went, ooh, that's not good. But I sure can't remember what it was.
Yeah. So I did our next to, could I have moved it? Yes. But that wasn't the point.
You could have turned it on and drove it across the table.
The point was, why does this have to be on the table? That you see the dirty tires? What are you doing? Put it on the chair. Nobody sits on that chair. No one's going to bother it if you put it on the chair. That's a good point. Valid point. Yeah. Put it on the chair, not on the table.
It looks so good. Look at it. Look at how good it looks. Get out of here. If you want to see the photo, it's on Instagram and Facebook, Classy97KLCE. 250 years, this country of ours has been around as of this 4th of July. As we celebrate America 250.

Would you rather never be able to wear a hat ever again, or never be able to wear socks ever again?
You're giving up socks. I already know.
No, I'm giving up hats. I never wear a hat.
I don't care about that. You rarely wear socks except when your feet are cold.
I have socks on every day.
But you kick them off right away.
Well, they're low profile socks. I have to wear socks with shoes. You don't? I do wear socks every day. When I'm not wearing shoes, I kick my socks off. I like to be barefoot, but if I have shoes on...
You throw on shoes without socks all the time.
Wind, sandals, flip flops. But if I've got a tied shoe...
No.
Not everyone. Yes, everyone. No way. Yes.
Well, you don't even have those real socks. You just have that thing that barely covers the bottom of your foot.
I said it's a low profile. That's not low profile. That's like a barely a sock. It's like a slippery sock. It's not even. It covers your toes and your heel, and that's it. Yeah.
And then it comes off in your shoe and you get all angry. Not. Some of them do, but I got a good... I got nice ones. I threw those ones away. I've got good ones now. Did you? Yeah. I'm wearing them right now. What? So I'm picking no hats because I don't care about that. I never wear a hat.
My luxury item, if I was very well to do, is a brand new pair of socks every day.
But you also hate not wearing a hat.
I don't know what to pick.
I know this is a hard one for you. What are you going to pick? I hate being barefoot. I'm going to have to give up hats. Oh no. You forced me in a corner. You have a nice shaped head. You should not wear hats very often. You're going to get cold in the winter though.
I'll just let it grow out the sides. I'll look like bozo the clown. You've done that before. Not like that. I haven't let it get all crazy, and then like perm it out.
Who said you had to perm it out?
Oh, if I'm doing it, I'm doing it right.
Okay. I think you should do that. Grow it out. No hats. Grow it out. See how people react.
They'll be like, please fix that.
No one's ever going to say that to you.
Okay. I will say that to me. I'll look at myself in the mirror and go, I've had enough of that. That's got to go.
All right.
Well, I got to have socks.
You have to have socks. I agree. You got to have socks when you're wearing shoes for sure. Ew. Would you rather sneakers without socks? Ew. This or that. Could you tell me everything that we have in our deep freeze right now? I think so. Do you know it's all in there tucked away in every little corner? I think so. Okay. Do we have pieces of dynamite in there?
No. Okay. Why would, what are you talking about?
There was a woman in California who was cleaning out her garage, and she opened her deep freezer, and she discovered 20 sticks of live dynamite inside an old freezer. She had no idea why they were there. She called the bomb squad. Yeah, I bet she did. She was in her, she's in her 80s. She, you know, called the police. They took it very seriously.
Who's storing dynamite in her house? I'll tell you. Okay. The bomb squad showed up, and they evacuated nearby houses in the neighborhood when they safely removed the explosives. She said the freezer had been there for decades. She's assuming that they belong to her husband, but she can't ask him about it because he passed away about 12 years ago. Oh, man.
The dynamite, luckily, didn't detonate, and they took it to a secure location. The officials say that if all 20 of those sticks had exploded, it could have potentially leveled that entire area, and caused significant damage to their whole neighborhood. Right. It's unclear if the husband worked in a profession where he might use dynamite.
I was going to say, where did the dynamite come from originally? Is this, is this like old sticks of dynamite where they're like oozy?
Yeah, I don't know. You know what I'm talking about? I absolutely do. You've got to be real careful with that stuff, or do you have, you know, is storing it in the freezer a good idea? I don't know. Does that make it less volatile? But I also don't know if the freezer was still active. Was it plugged in and being used or was it just an old, inactive freezer? And why, why do you have, where do you get live dynamite? What even, what? A lot of questions. Did he work for the ACME company? Yeah, he gave me thank you. I'll be here all day. Thank you.
They're being sued by Wiley Coyote. Are they? That's the home plot of that movie. Yes. Interesting find. So I've seen people that are like out metal detecting in, in like Europe, and they'll stumble across like old war stuff, you know, that, that wasn't detonated. And they're like, we got to deal with this. But yeah, no, I don't know about stumbling across dynamite. Where was this? California.
Where does guy get dynamite? Where to get dynamite? And 20 sticks of them.
Where this dude get a whole bunch of dynamite?
And then felt safe enough to be like, yeah, I'm going to take this to my house. I'm going to put this in my house. It'll be safe in the freezer. I'm going to put it in the freezer. Surely nothing bad will happen there. It won't get hot in the freezer. What?
I got to find out where it won't get hot in the freezer.
It's cold in there. You don't know if the freezer was plugged in.
Live commercial dynamite cannot be purchased over the counter. It requires strict federal licensing background checks and permitting due to security and safety laws. So you can't just buy good.
I'm so glad to legally purchase live dynamite for mining, construction or demolition. You must hold an explosives license.
Why would he need? Why, why does anybody need an explosives license?
And then once licensed, then they tell you where to get the dynamite. You have to get a license first and then you can buy them through industrial manufacturers and certified distributors. Do you know who regulates dynamite?
I do not. If you had to guess. I'll tell you, it's not the FDA. I wouldn't have said that. No.
I don't know. Alcohol, tobacco and firearms. Oh yeah, I would have guessed that. ATF regulates dynamite. Yeah, I would have said that. And also alcohol and tobacco. That makes sense.
I'm glad you can't buy it over the counter. Phew.
Yeah, you just go to the store. Yes, I'll take 20 sticks of dynamite please.
How much is the going rate of dynamite these days?
How much does dynamite cost? That's a great question. I have no clue.
I've never. Don't Google it because guess what, now you're going to be put on a watch list. Oh yeah. They're like, this guy is researching dynamite.
Commercial stick of dynamite is actually between eight and ten dollars. It is highly regulated and almost never sold to individuals by the single stick though. You usually get it in bulk cases. That's why he had 20. 20 is bulk?
Then you're paying 200 bucks. Yeah. Interesting. Crazy. Can you get replicas? You sure can. Do you want a replica stick of dynamite? No, I'm good. Maybe they weren't real. Maybe he had replicas.
I doesn't say that they weren't replicas. What are you doing over there? I used the garbage can as a footstool and it sometimes gets topsy turvy. Sit still. Okay.
I learned a lot about dynamite at the end of the show.
I know and now you're on a watch list.
That's fine. It's going to be among other weird things that I search for. So that's fine.
