Full show transcript:
So I got some Aaron Rodgers news for you. Ew. Why? You love Aaron Rodgers, don't you? I don't.
Ew. Why? Aaron Rodgers, earlier this month, signed a contract with the Pittsburgh Steelers. He was recently on an appearance on the Pat McAfee show, and he said, I'm pretty sure this will be my final season. Duh.
You think? He said, he said, that's why we just did a one year deal. Steelers didn't need to put any extra years on it or anything like that. This was really just about finishing with a lot of love and fun and peace for the career that I've had. He should've finished last year.
Yeah. And they probably his agents probably did everything in their power to bribe and persuade the Steelers to take him, and they agreed only on the condition that they would take him for a year. I think he's being forced to retire, if you wanna know my take. How old is Aaron Rodgers? 42.
Is that right? Yeah. He's, he's definitely at the age where people retire. Yeah. But I don't think he's one year.
I've played for twenty years. It's been a long run, and I've enjoyed it. And what are better place to finish than in one of the cornerstone franchises of the NFL with Mike Tomlin and a great group of leadership and great guys in a city that expects you to win. He is 41. Sorry.
Excuse me. Yep. He was 41. Well, is, not was. He's still alive.
Aaron Rodgers, 41. Well, there you go. I just wanted you to know that you probably I mean, he's gonna get a TV deal. You're gonna see him on TV talking about football forever, but, he won't probably be on the field much after this season. Why would they put him on the field?
He was Always Always I never know really what to what to say first thing in the morning. And so then it turns into that. It turns into the weirdest thing you can think of. Yeah. I mean, that's not the weirdest thing.
There are much weirder things. It is definitely not the weirdest thing, but it is, certainly strange. It is kooky. Yeah. What is Leon day all about?
Oh, I see. June 25, today. Six months away from Noel. Don't even It's Leon. Don't even Noel backwards.
It is exactly halfway. Don't even say it. To know well. Christmas. It's halfway to Christmas.
I can't believe you said that. You went against my wishes. Uh-huh. You're always doing that. I just I it said it was National Leon Day, and I was like, oh, I don't know a Leon.
Do you know a Leon? No. I don't. And I'm not even gonna think about it. Do you know a Noel?
Nope. No. I don't. Joy Noel? Nope.
Per perhaps? No. Mhmm. I'm gonna sit in the summertime vibes forever. Better start that Christmas shopping.
No. No. Nope. Yeah. Stop talking about it.
Get the tree out No. And you can hang lights and flip flops on it. No l. No. See what I did?
I do. I do see. You could put a seashell wreath on the door. A seashell wreath. Why?
Summer. It's half Christmas. It's Leon. Okay. You could do a slip and slide instead of sledding.
Yeah. You could do a slip and slide. Awesome. This is these are these are Leon things. Those just sound like summer things.
You could Have a barbecue in the backyard. Well, that's not on the list. You could wear ugly Christmas T shirts. No. No.
I'm not doing this. You know why? You could watch a holiday movie on the projector outside. I won't. I won't.
I love Christmas. I do. There's a time and a place, and it's not today. Not on Leon Day? No.
Not on half Christmas? No. That's a stupid idea. Whose idea was that? Oh, Leon Day's probably been around forever.
Let's make it halfway to Christmas, and let's call it the opposite of Noel. What? Isn't that cute? You are really salty. I am.
Because why can't we just enjoy where we are right now? Leon Day, likely originated in the early nineteen nineties, possibly from online Christmas communities. Online Christmas communities? Mhmm. There are Christmas enthusiasts that know there are.
Like, love it and will take any opportunity to hear a jingly bell, like today, on a half Christmas, on a Leon. Nope. You know what I'm gonna do? I'm gonna enjoy June 25, and I'm gonna bask in that sunlight, and I'm gonna go on a bike ride, and I'm gonna have a barbecue. I'm probably I don't know if I'm gonna do all of those things.
You know we got that magazine from, from Costco? Yeah. I threw it in the carpet. Did you did you thumb through it at all? No.
I mean, a little. What's up? Toward the back? Uh-huh. All this back to school stuff and all this fall stuff.
And I went, it's literally the first day of summer. Also got a magazine in the mail from Amazon that was all back to school stuff. Yeah. It was, like, headed to the dorms even July. I know.
That's what I'm saying. Start shopping now. Let me just enjoy Spend your money. Where I am right now. Consumerism.
Stop it. Happy Leon. Joy Leon. No. Yoge Leon.
That's Joy backwards. Oh, I See what I did? No. L. So that song, somewhat, somebody that I used to know from Gautier.
Right? We play that song on Classy ninety seven. There is that other song, with Bruno Mars, Anxiety. Bruno Mars. Isn't he on that?
I'm pretty sure. Think so. Yeah. I gotta look it up. Anyway, it's it's samples this.
It basically plays the entire intro with this. Right. It's from Dochi. Right? Yeah.
That's who it is. Sure. Yeah. And, and what's interesting about I'm just trying to see if if it said anything about that. Anyway, the the point is, there's a bunch of, different TikToks I've seen Yes.
Where people are like, why you can never trust your radio station, because it starts it's the whole intro It is. Of Gotye and then jumps into the other song. And, and I just wanted to clarify that we've got the the good stuff. The good stuff? We got we got the the Gautier.
The other stuff is the bad stuff? No. It's not necessarily the bad stuff. I just when you wanna sing along to Gautier, you can hear. But what if I wanna sing along to the other song?
That's fine too, but that's not what the TikToks are about. Okay. They're about you wanted to sing along to Gauthier, but then it was that other song. You were ready to sing along to the one we play, but then you didn't get to thinking about that song the other day. The other song has that intro to that Gautier song, and then it leads into anxiety.
Right. I was thinking about it going, Galt, like, it used to be that there would be a very long time passage before you would sample a song, and it feels like that's a small amount of time that she has used that song to sample. But that song came out, that Gautier song came out 02/2010? Okay. Yeah.
You were close. 02/2011. Yeah. So even then Oh, it's been a while. Fourteen years.
I know. Which is crazy. Yeah. And you when that song comes on, you and I both, sort of flashback to the very first time that that that we heard that song in 02/2011, and go like, man. Could could you go back to the first time you heard that song?
Because it was so different Yep. And and sort of weird, but you loved it and it earwormed. And that's why it's still around fourteen years later. But, yeah, you'll you'll never be able to go back to the first time you heard it. There's a lot of songs I'd like to hear for the first time.
There's a lot of books I'd like to read for the first time. Alright. I can't think of any off the top of my head there. Hoping you might be able to. No.
Like, any of your favorite songs from your favorite band who you wanna go see in November? Yeah. Like, if if you could hear their the album, that that you love the for for the first time again? Yeah. Would it speak to your soul the same way?
Because that's what you said. I know. These guys speak to my soul. Yeah. I always throw that in my face.
I'm nervous. In your face. It was hilarious. Why is that hilarious? I love this band.
They speak to my soul. It's a very funny thing to say. Was it supposed to be a joke? It's not. Rude.
I'm not I'm not making fun. I think it's hilarious. I think it's great. I think that's why you like that band. It's an it's a fun thing to say out loud.
I love this band. Shit. They speak to my soul. Shit. And the first time you got a chance to meet the band, what'd you say?
Josh. You didn't say that. Well, you're doing me dirty right now. That's fine. I can't believe it.
I I haven't said a a word of what is embarrassing. When I met them You don't have to tell the story. Fine. They're already in. If anyone's listening, they're already in.
And I it doesn't matter. It was a long time ago. And I didn't think that we would get a chance to meet them. And suddenly, they walked into where we were. Right.
And I went, oh my god. The whole band except for the lead singer who you really he's the one who writes the lyrics that speak to your soul. So let's let's just be clear. Stop. I was just surprised to see them.
And then you said, you gotta go talk to them. You gotta go talk to them. I said, I can't. I can't. I what am I gonna say?
I can't Right. I can't I can't approach them. I can't. I can't. I can't.
And you were pushy pushy pushy. And I walked up to them, and I said, hey, guys. I'm big fans. Right. It was smooth.
Yeah. It was smooth like butter. Smooth operator. Yeah. I wonder if they remember.
Probably not. I'm sure 100% not. They're like, remember when we were playing, that festival in Utah and that that woman came up to us? Is that weird for you? Pregnant at the time?
Trying to remember if I was or not. I don't know if I was. Chance. There's a there's a chance you were pregnant, and they and they walked up and said, we are big fans, which honestly I'm Yeah. Yeah.
Okay. I'm big fans. But, also, you were speaking for two. That's true if I was pregnant. We can justify the plural fans.
I don't know if I was. Did we take a picture? I don't even know if we got a picture. I'm pretty sure I have a picture with the band standing there. Okay.
We're gonna have to go back and reference the picture. Alright. What was I even wearing? Probably something stupid. Hannah Montana tank top.
If I was wearing that, then I was not pregnant. Are you sure about that? Yes. Alright. Well, that was cool.
I'll see if I can find that photo. I'm gonna have to check. I know. It'll be on my Facebook. I have to dig.
So okay. Okay. Anyway, you're welcome for playing Go to you was really the whole point. Woo. Yeah.
You're welcome. Some good news to get you going. There are, there are people that are, like, just awesome. And this guy that I'm gonna tell you about, his name is John Zito junior. Okay.
And he is one of those good people. Back in 2019, John retired from the Tampa Fire Rescue, and now spends a lot of his free time hiking around Arizona. Because when you grow up in a hot climate, you might as well stay in one, but lose the humidity. Okay. Get out of Florida and go where it's a dry heat.
While he's it's a fun hobby for John to hike around. He says he's been called to action a number of different times to help fellow hikers who've gotten themselves into trouble out in the wild. While trekking Arizona's toughest trails, he's rescued hikers with heat stroke. He's performed CPR. He's carried a man three miles to safety after he heard gunshots used as a distress signal.
Oh, jeez. He's, he's been doing all of this over the past few years. Pretty incredible. John z? Yeah.
John Zito junior. John Zito? Yeah. He says he always carries a backpack full of water and snacks and always, has braces around for people who might have a twisted ankle. He says, what I've always done, you deal with people and their problems.
And when somebody's in trouble, I can't imagine somebody not doing everything to help. Now that he's a trail legend, John is proving that retirement doesn't mean slowing down. It just means finding new ways to help others, and I think that's really special. John Zito junior. Good job, buddy.
Yep. Good news to get you going. You've heard of a regular divorce. Sure. And you've heard of a sleep divorce.
Yeah. We've talked about that. And now they have screen divorce. Okay. This, this sounds Have you heard of this?
No. Go ahead. Okay. This is where you can never agree on what to watch with your partner. K.
So you go back and forth and back and forth until one of you just either forfeits the remote or one of you takes control of the remote and says, I'm just gonna turn this on. And the other person doesn't like it. So the other person leaves to watch something else in a different room or puts on headphones or completely checks out. And so the one person watches what they wanna watch while the other person goes, I'm not into this. I'm not watching this.
Screen divorce. Okay. There are shows that I like, and there are shows that you like. And there there are times when, you will say, you're occupied doing something else. I'm gonna watch this show I know that you don't care for.
Yes. So that's fine. There are times when I'll be, like, especially in, like, the winter. I really like to to tie flies, and that's most of the time when I'm doing it. And I'll put on, you know, fishing shows or whatever on YouTube and people out doing the things and stuff.
So they're not super exciting for anybody but me, but I'm in my own zone, so I'm doing my own thing. Yeah. We we have the TV, in the bedroom, and you'll just throw the remote over. Like, you could just put pick something. I'm kinda like, no.
Because I know if I just pick something, you're gonna go, no. Not this. No. But yeah. I've done that before.
Yeah. Or oh, go ahead. I was there's lots of times too where I throw you the mo remote because I know that I'm tired, and I'm not gonna stay awake for much longer. Right. So you just pick something, and I'll fall asleep.
Sure. And then there are times where I'll pick something, and then, you'll kinda get into it. And they would be like, that was actually interesting, a documentary or something like that. That's happened with some musical documentaries, that I've turned on from different artists. And you'll be like, I don't even know anything about that.
Now I'm all sucked into it. It's only happened a couple of times, but it happens. Yeah. So I guess, what I'm saying is I don't think we need that. I think we're doing okay just doing what we're doing.
Okay. That's what I'm saying. None of the divorces are gonna work for us? I don't think so. We don't need a regular divorce.
I think we're pretty good together. Thanks, Josh. I think so too. Well, alright. And we've been watching a bunch of shows together that we enjoy.
I know. I gotta get through this episode of Alone. I fell asleep. Yeah. You did.
Finish it? I finished the episode that you fell asleep on. Episode five? Yeah. I'm on episode six.
I gotta finish five. Oh, I know what happened. Okay. Good. It's because you stayed awake.
We're watching Alone Australia. Yeah. There's a woman spoilers. I know. There's a woman on there that I love.
She's awesome, and I hope she wins the whole thing. She was building a bunch of stuff without any pants on the other day. Well, just because she doesn't like pants. She does. She's running around in shorts.
Good for her. Anyway She's tough. Yeah. She's tough as nails. I know.
She's out in the, where are they at? They're in, Tasmania. Yeah. They're in Tasmania, and she's running around building stuff with no pants. She's wild.
She's a crazy person. Yeah. She's that crazy. She's a wild person. She built a crazy bed.
Like, her pants are all soft. She's got a puffy She's very good at, at her lashings. I'm very impressed. Very impressed. I'm I teach lashings.
So, when when I see good ones, you gotta you gotta go, man, she's got it. Hey. I would like to learn some lashings. Would you? Yeah.
I I would, actually. You only have to learn two knots k. To do lashings. K. That's it.
The rest of it's wraps and fraps. Is that really the name? Yes. Wraps, fraps, clove hitch, and timber hitch. You'll be able to you'll be able to do some lashings.
Okay. Are you good at teaching lashings? Sure. Are you good at teaching? I teach them several times a year.
To me, though? Oh, it depend I'm a good teacher. Are you a good student? I These are two different questions. I don't know.
I'm a good student, but I don't know if our teacher student compatibility is good. Let's find out. You've tried to teach me a couple of different things. Snowboarding. Not so good.
Driving a manual car. So good. Okay. 50. We're fifty fifty.
I'm sure I've taught you other things. Hey. Can I put together a list of things that I want you to teach me? What do you wanna learn? I don't know.
Fire building? Yeah. Okay. Actually. Sure.
But it's not all gonna be, like, outdoorsy kind of stuff. That's fine. You've taught me how to change my tire once. Do you remember? No.
Okay. Put that on the list. I'll think about some others. Okay. Is there anything you'd like me to teach you?
I don't know. I'll think about it. Okay. Do you remember feng feng shui? Oh, yeah.
Like, like, the way you organize your furniture in the in the house? Yeah. Isn't that still a thing? It is still a thing. Okay.
You still hear about it there? Feng shui or feng shui? I don't know. I don't know. Fung feng shui.
Anyway, yeah, I remember it. I've never learned enough about it to kind of understand, like, the coffee table should be placed here. Well, I'm gonna tell you about some things that you should not keep by your bed. As part of feng shui? Yeah.
Alright. Let's go. Sharp metal objects, like pocket knives, scissors, nail clippers. Sharp metal easily pierces your energy shield. Even if the pocket knife is closed.
Even if the pocket knife is closed. Interesting. It doesn't it's in my nightstand, but it's not on the nightstand. I don't think it's It's put away in a drawer. I don't think it is it piercing your energy shield?
I never think about it. It's piercing your energy shield? I never think about it. Zero energy is being exhausted on a put away pocket knife. It feels pierced.
No. A trash can? Nope. We don't have a trash can. Not even in the room?
Try do you have trash on your nightstand? No. I'm trying to think if I do. I think I just got rid of all of mine. Trash holds murky energy.
Okay. Even if it's just crumpled up paper, breathing in that energy can negatively affect your health. Okay. Murky. Got murky energy.
Alright. And last but not least, medications and medical records. Oh, I do have my medications there. I have medical records. That's where I keep them.
Not on top, though. No. But it says put away in the drawer. Even in a drawer, it affects your mood and mental state. I have to keep them there so I can grab it in case of an emergency.
Right. It's not necessarily medical records. It's like, well, I've got the kids' immunization records in there, Birth certificates, marriage license, all the important documentation so that if I need to, I can grab it and go. I have to keep it close. You know?
I do understand. I wonder if that's if that counts. Do you think that counts? No. I think all of this is made up by somebody.
I don't think I don't think my folded up, put away pocket knife and a folder of documents are keeping me awake at night. I think it is. It's not. So Ta da. Ta da.
I don't know what else to tell you. Should we rearrange the bedroom? I I was just thinking about this the other day. I'm kind of I don't know. We've had our bedroom in the same position for a lot of years.
I was feeling this way about the living room. I wanna do something with the living room. I'm over the living room setup. K. But I don't know what to do, and it's such a lot of work.
It's a lot of work. Here's it's not that much work. It's not that much work. I mean, we have to move the piano. That's heavy.
The piano is the big the biggest part. Yeah. I'm I'm just thinking about, like, if the if the couch is not in the middle of the room, it goes to a wall. Mhmm. And if it goes to a wall, which one?
Because if you put it on the the brick wall, then where does the TV go? Because then it'd be in front of the window. Yeah. And if you rotate the whole room, when you walk into the house, you have to walk between the couch and the TV to get anywhere if we just spun the room around. You see what I'm saying?
I see what you're saying. So I don't think that's the right answer. I don't know. I don't think our living room isn't big enough for anything other than the option it currently has. Well, that's not true because we had it arranged completely differently for a long time until I said, what if we float the couch in the middle of the room?
And you went, I don't know. And it worked out. So what if we put the couch on the window, wall? K. Then the dog would be able to get to the window.
Exactly. So it solved that. Let's ask our feng shui experts. Oh, good. Yeah.
Find out what they say. There is a girl named Kinney. I don't know where she's from. Doesn't matter. She gave her friend it was her friend's thirtieth birthday.
She gave her friend a bag of chips, but the bag of chips was opened. And her friend said, thanks. They were it was opened, but it was folded and then it had a chip clip on the top of it. And her friend was like, thank thank you so much for this. Opens.
Alright. Go ahead. Bag. I I'm I'm waiting for there's gotta be some more to this. She opens the bag.
Yeah. And inside were all her favorite type of chips. Okay. She likes the folded chips. So her friend had grabbed multiple bags of the same chip and gone through all of them, picked out every folded chip, and put them in the bag of chips that she gave to her friend.
That is tedious and thoughtful. I know. Isn't that so nice? It it seemed strange. I was hoping there was something more to it.
Like, maybe there were it was filled with, like, she had she had taken out all the crumbs, or it was like she had come con composed, like, three bags into one bag so it'd be really full or, you know, something like that. Yeah. That's awesome. That's a lot of work. It is a lot of work.
And how kind. What a nice, thoughtful, considerate gesture that is. And that had to be time consuming. Oh, yeah. Yeah.
And I wonder how many bags of chips she had to go through to Mhmm. Build the one bag. And, what'd you do with all the other chips? Just eat them yourself? Just eat them.
Nice. One for my friend. Nice. One for me. Two for me.
One for my friend. That's not how it works, but you're close. Well, because the if you think about all the folded chips Sure. There's only There's I bet there's I bet the 50% of the bag. You think?
Yeah. Now I kinda wanna now I kinda wanna see. Bet it took, like, three bags to to make one bag Really? Of all folded chips. Well, now I really wanna see.
Yeah. Her friend said, I never thought I'd be crying over an open bag of potato chips, but here I am. How sweet. What a nice friend. That's that's super nice.
That's a nice that's a nice, time consuming, nice gesture. I don't think I would do that. No. I know. I know you wouldn't.
And not because I don't care for anyone enough to do it. It's just that sounds tedious. And how, like, you have to do it pretty close to the day you're gonna give them the gift because, otherwise, the stay the chips will go stale. I don't think it's that tedious of a process. Yeah.
Turn on a TV show, get a big bowl, dump out the chips in a bowl, pick out the ones that are folded, put them in the next bag. It's not that difficult. I can't be bothered. Yeah. I know.
Oh, I know. After twenty years, I know your gift giving abilities. What does that mean? Oh, I think you know exactly what that means. I give pretty good gifts, I think, but okay.
What's the last gift you gave me? Uh-uh. Birthday. What was it? Birthday gift.
Which was? The gift did I give you for your birthday? And I birthday gift. I believe it was remember? Yeah.
I do. I believe it was Emery's ideas. Yeah. Because here's what's happened over the past few years. She gets these ideas, and then I'm like, yeah.
And and especially around Christmas time, she'll be like, I wanna get her and it's some, like, extravagant thing. And I go, I just it's not the right thing. And then I'll be like, okay. And then I will have had the same idea or it will have been like, okay. Maybe I'll do that expensive thing.
And then she's like, stole my idea. So, yeah, I follow through on her plans to avoid the that conflict. Taking Emery's ideas. No. I like that you're, like Executing Emery's ideas.
Extra when she has a gift idea, you're like, that's too extravagant. We could never. Mom is not deserving. Extravagant that it's, like, expensive. And I'm like, dude, that's a great idea, but that's, like, thousands of dollars.
Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. It's not too worth it. Okay.
Alrighty. I'm not winning this. Listen. These chips didn't cost a thousand dollars. No.
It was just a nice gesture. And if you were a person who liked folded chips, I'd get her in touch with you. And I'd say, I need one of those bags. But you're not. Wow.
Thanks, dear. I know. You go above and beyond some five to really do. Single day every day. I can't wait till our twentieth anniversary.
Yeah. I don't know. It's like a month away. Yeah. It is.
Yeah. Less than a month away. I know. Don't wait. I can't wait.
Me neither. What you got planned? I always plan. Here we go. Here we go.
Yesterday, after I got off work, I decided I should probably wash my truck. It was a bit of a mess. It had a bunch of bugs on the front. The inside had a lot of gravel and dirt and stuff from the weekend of backpacking and having people ride in there and stuff. So I said, I'm just gonna, quick go through the car wash.
Did the thing. I got through it, and I said, well, I I should stop and vacuum. So I I took my time. I did some vacuuming. I wiped all the dashboard off.
I did all the Nice. All the interior, pieces and the console and the dash and the doors in the back and the front. Spent extra time washing the windows and the mirrors. Got it all. So I could it's it's pretty clean.
It's pretty clean. Nice. Very excited about that. And then went home and kinda just went about the day. And then later on, you were like, we should go wash my car.
And I said, oh, great. Yeah. I haven't done this already today. Sure. Let's do that.
So we go to the car wash. We pull up, and there's, there's, like, three different entrance gates to the car wash. And I was like, there's no one in this line. So I hop in that line, and then the guy who was standing there was apparently working on the, the arm that lets you go through. And so he said, no.
You gotta go over to another one. And so I pulled over, kinda backed up and pulled into the other Lane. And the lady who was there, helping us, you know, says, oh, I you know, do you have a membership? Whatever. Talking to me, doing the whole thing.
And I'm like, no. No. We're just getting the car washed. No big deal. Pull through, and, and you you said she seemed kinda strange.
She was just kinda looking at you funny. Yeah. Why is she looking at you so strange? So funny. And I hadn't disclosed to the family at all that I had been to the car wash earlier in the day because Emery gets upset if you go to the car wash without her.
I don't know why she loves it. Going to the car wash. But she loves going through the car wash. And so if she finds out that you've been through the car wash, she goes, you went to the car wash without me? And so I just didn't bring it up.
My truck was clean. If you look outside, you'll see it's clean. And you might go, did you go to the car wash? I'll say, yeah. Then you and then I'll hear that noise.
It's almost like to the car wash without me? When I would go to the bank without them when they were little, they would be upset. Because they didn't get Tootsie Rolls. There's no candy in the car wash. Yeah.
They're like, here. I don't know why she enjoys it so much. I don't know. But so rather than deal with making people upset that I went to the car wash and if I would have said, oh, yeah. I went and washed my truck.
You'd go, I need to wash my I think it would have just triggered a whole thing. And so I just kept the info to myself. When the lady looked at me strange and you called it out, I had to let loose the information. So I said that's because she recognizes me from not that long ago when I came through this exact same thing. But I was trying to avoid her in the line, and so I, I chose a different line that had a different attendant on it so I wouldn't get a weird look.
But here we are, weird look. She's looking at you. Yeah. Like, haven't you been here? How many times are you gonna come through, bud?
Well, it's a different car. Yeah. Maybe that's why she was confused. Maybe she was like, do you have a twin? Maybe.
Twin? Maybe. But I don't. Or maybe she's just looking at you because you're kinda maybe you're making a funny face. Or maybe she could see that I was, like, not looking at her because I was like, don't notice who I am.
She's like, why are you avoiding me, weirdo? I was I was nervous. She's gonna say, weren't you here earlier? And I'd have to be like, sorry, guys. I washed my truck already because then I'd hear the thing.
Although, she our daughter was in the back seat, so she was getting the car wash ride. So she would have been probably She was mad anyway because she was hungry. Yeah. We were to Lang. We were to Lang.
We gotta we gotta get a car wash. Oh, and then we gotta vacuum really quick. Since we're here Yeah. You gotta do all of this. Which she didn't help with.
No. I told her that too. Yeah. I said, you know, this would go a lot faster if you grabbed a hose and started vacuuming. And she said, no.
And she just moved over in the back seat so I can vacuum each side. Yeah. I opened up the because I was washing windows and doing trim and doing the whole thing just like I did with mine because I can't have mine be cleaner than yours. That would not have to hear about that. Oh, you vacuum your truck?
See? It'd be a whole thing. There's more that could be done. I was just trying to do it in a hurry. Yeah.
Because I like that I like the little air Yeah. Spray thing that kinda sprays off your rugs. Right. Because it knocks all the, like, little small gravel out of there. But I didn't do that because she was already hangry, so I had to go feed the child.
And then everything was fine. Just feed the teenager. Yeah. Feed the teenager. Everything's fine.
But I like a nice clean car, and it's so nice. And I like getting in it when it's all clean, and you're like, oh, whose car is this? I know. What you got in this morning? Was it was it nice?
It was nice. A new air freshener going. I need one of those. So it smells, it's like a coconutty one. Yeah.
It's nice. I need one of those. I didn't get one of those. I don't know what to tell you. I got one.
They gave you one at the car wash? Yes. Rude? Yeah. I didn't get one of those.
Sorry about that. Sad news. It's because she already gave you one, and she was like, I can't you've already gotten one, dude. I've already seen you today. No.
You haven't. I'm a different person. Look away. Tis the season of fireworks. You and I went on a bike ride last night, and, and it's not even dark yet.
And I hear, poof. Yeah. And I went, come on. No. That wasn't even an exploding one.
That was just a bottle rocket. It's it's just it's it's That I heard. Time. It's time now. So because it's time, the fine folks at the Idaho Falls Fire Department and the fine folks at the city of Pocatello, have both released a whole bunch of fireworks safety information.
Fantastic. Do you think the people that are actually lighting fireworks are gonna pay attention to this? I don't know. I don't know. Here's the thing.
Within Idaho Falls, safe and sane fireworks. That's in quotes. Safe and sane fireworks. What are insane fireworks? You know?
Safe and sane fireworks may be sold and used within city limits from June 23 to July 5. So we are within the firework window now. Okay. These include ground based items like fountains and sparklers. Aerial fireworks remain illegal for personal use.
Oh. They also the Idaho Falls Fire Department says keep water nearby, supervise children, never try to relight a firework, be aware of your surroundings, and respectful of your neighbors. That's good advice. That is always good advice. Celebrate safely and responsibly.
If you would like more information, they do have, the Idaho Falls idaho dot gov slash civic alerts has an entire fireworks safety page dedicated to, ways to say, stay safe, and they also have information about illegal fireworks and, and the fireworks ordinance and all that stuff, on the idlefalls,uh,.gov. Is that what it is? Idahofallsidaho.gov. Now Pocatello. Here's what Pocatello says.
We encourage everyone to enjoy this period of the fourth of July responsibly. Get this, only safe and sane fireworks like sparklers, fountains, and poppers are allowed within city limits and only in designated areas. City of Pocatello website has a map outlining where fireworks are allowed and where they are prohibited due to increased fire danger. The recent fire on West Clark Street serves as a stark reminder of how quickly and easily a spark can ignite a devastating wildfire in dry conditions. This incident underscores the importance of adhering to all fire safety guidelines and local regulations.
The use of illegal aerial fireworks includes rockets, roman candles, mortars, and any that leave the ground, strictly prohibited in Pocatello due to the high fire risk. Aerial fireworks can easily ignite dry vegetation, rooftops, and other flammable materials, etcetera, etcetera, etcetera. Please go read these posts. Please go read these city ordinances and follow them. I know it's fun to celebrate, and stuff goes boom, and it's real exciting.
But let's just, be a little more responsible this year maybe is what I'm saying. That's what I'm saying. It. Yeah. There are dogs out there who hate Sure.
Fireworks. We have them. And there's also vets out there, veterans Oh, big time. Who get a little freaked out by fireworks. So just be considerate.
And, also, there's no need to be lighting your fireworks off at two in the morning. No. No. So reasonable times. Right.
It's pretty dark at ten. You could still see a firework. This is very true. And then in other, fire news, even despite recent rain and cooler temperatures, fire danger has increased to high across Grand Teton National Park, Bridger Teton National Forest, and the National Elk Refuge. Firefighters have already responded to six fires in the Teton Interagency Zone this year.
So as fire danger is high now, you have to, never leave your fire unattended, Keep water and a shovel on hand. Use several gallons of water to fully extinguish your campfire. Drown it, stir it, feel if it's got warm spots, and repeat until the ashes are cold to the touch. Yep. Very important.
Break down the charred logs and cover all the remains with dirt. Fireworks are always prohibited in Grand Teton National Park, Bridger Teton National Forest, and the National Elk Refuge. So everywhere around us is like, hey. High alert. It's easy to have a wildfire get out of hand right now.
Let's be very, very careful. That is what I have to say about that. Thank you for all the firework and safety and things. And all that stuff. Yeah.
Thanks, Josh. Super helpful. I hope so. I hope it helps. I hope people listen and pay attention.
We don't want people burning down. That's what I'm saying. I don't wanna have to hear the words evacuate. No. That's a terrible word.
Be careful. When you were a kid and you would go to your friend's house, were there rooms that were off limits? I don't know necessarily that they were off limits. There were places we didn't go. Like?
Well, like, I guess, at my buddy Sean's house, we never went upstairs. Like, we were on the main level, which is where, like, the kitchen and his room were at. And then we would go downstairs, which is where we would play, like, Doom, Duke Nukem on the computer. I have no idea what those are. Yeah.
Well, that's, because you're not as cool as, as we were. And we would, make our mix tapes, and we would, read wizard magazine. And, and then we would, go outside and play and, ride bikes and stuff, and then we would come back inside You're and play more computer games. Realwind. Wizard magazines?
If you don't know, you don't know. If you do, you do. I what do you think Wizard Magazine is? This will be fun. You've never heard of Wizard Magazine.
I have not. I have You've never heard of Wizard Magazine? No. I just said no. Ever.
Never. Okay. What do you think Wizard Magazine is? Well, I think it's a magazine that teaches kids how to do wizarding stuff. Nope.
What is it? It is a monthly American magazine about comic books. Okay. It was published by Wizard Entertainment from 1991 to 02/2011. Next question.
Yes? Who are you making mixtapes for? Ourselves and, because we had different music collections. And so we would we would make our own tapes so that we would be able to share our music, back and forth. So you made a mix tape for your friend, and your friend made a mix tape for you.
That's so nice, Josh. And then we had, very long running games of over the phone monopoly. It was the nineties, man. So yeah. But we never went upstairs where his parents' bedroom Correct.
Yeah. That's what I was trying to get back. Parents' bedrooms. Common areas, his room, and then where the computer lived, where we would play our computer games. The a lot of my friend's house had, like, fancy dining rooms.
We were never allowed in there. Well, it's not that we weren't allowed. It was just, like Interesting. No. Don't go in there.
As I recall, they did have a formal kinda dining room. I don't remember eating in there. I remember eating in, like, the kitchen at the stools on the island and, and then, like, whatever in his room, like, bagel bites. But then that was it. Like, I don't remember much of I don't ever remember eating in the Certainly never the parents' bedroom.
No. There would never be a reason to eat that. Ever need to go there? There's nothing in there. There's no computer games or wizard magazines.
It was just always weird. Right? Right. But I was hanging out with my friend over this past weekend. She's my best friend.
We share a lot of information. She was getting ready in her bathroom. I was hanging out in the doorway of her room. Yeah. Because I've That feels right.
It felt uncomfortable to go in in to be in her room. You can come in, and I go, yeah. I know. I just I'll just be here. It feels weird.
I get that. That's interesting because you two lived together for years Yes. In an apartment. Did you go in a room then? Oh, constantly.
You did? Yeah. Because they were small rooms, and you had a common hallway. There were four bedrooms Yeah. With a common hallway, two bathrooms, laundry, stuff like that.
And then that was separate from, like, the living room and kitchen. Right? So, and then it had, like, the boy door, which is a thing. And then, on the, like, in the bedroom area where you guys would sit and do makeup and stuff in the halls and and talk, I assumed you just sat out there. Well, we did, but we would often go into each other's rooms too.
How did you get in there? I've seen her room. I would just go in and sit on her bed, and she would come in and sit on my bed, and we would just talk all the time. No getting in that room. There was.
There was. She wasn't disgusting. Okay. Listen. But and then I kinda did this weird, like, tiptoey thing, and she was like, what are you doing?
I go, I don't it feels kinda weird. Yeah. I don't know. I agree. But I don't know why it felt weird.
It's like you I don't know. It's your personal space. Right. But, again, like, our kids come into our room all the time. Sure.
Wouldn't you live there? Do you not go into your parents' bedroom now? No. Strange. No need to.
No. You're right. The times I've been at your mom's house, I've been like, I don't Like, there's a she's got, like, the master bath attached to her room, and I'll be like, I'll just wait for the other one. I don't have to go through there. If I've been real desperate, I'm like, oh, look.
I cannot use your bathroom. But, again Right. It feels weird. I don't like it. Yeah.
I agree. I don't know I don't know why. It's a it's a personal space thing. Feels a little bit off activity. Yep.
Yeah. Like, I shouldn't be in here. Yeah. And that's okay. I'll let you have it.
I don't have a need to go in there. Sure. So I was like, just hurry and do your hair so we can get out of here. I'll just talk to you from out here. I'm just gonna sit here in the hall like old times.
The mirror leaned up against the wall. I'll be here for hours. Yeah. Everyone needs a teenage daughter, and I'll tell you why. Why is this?
Because they are the most honest person. Okay. I know you rely on our daughter, for outfits and different you're like, you'll ask me, and I'll go, I think you look great. And you'll go, Emery, how's this look? Because my opinion No.
Even though it will be the same as hers That's not always true. Carry the same weight. You are happy with me regardless, and I think you think I look fine and whatever. Emery True statement. Looks at everything and goes, no.
It's not that. So you guys don't always agree on stuff. She'll tell me if stuff looks too dumb. She'll tell me if it's too tight. She'll tell me if it's too baggy.
She'll tell me what pieces go together. She'll tell me she'll straight up be completely honest with me and be like, no. That's not it. That looks dumb. I Okay.
Or she'll say, I like the dress, but I don't like the sweater. Right. Or I like the dress, but I don't like the shoes. It's not those shoes. I like when you wear a dress.
I don't like when you add a sweater or a shawl to it. Okay. I've said that many times. She says the same thing. Okay.
Sometimes I just don't listen to either one of you. I know. Because I feel comfort more comfortable in a sweater or a shawl. That's all. Not always, but sometimes.
Pretty much always. Not always. Pretty much. For example, last night Yeah. That's exactly right.
I was wearing something, and I said, Emeritus, look. A nice dress. And she went, just like that. Yeah. Because you had on a sweater with it.
You didn't need the sweater. She said, I don't like the sweater, and I said, well, too bad. I'm gonna wear it anyway. And if you would have asked me, which you didn't, but I would have told you the same thing. You don't need the sweater.
I don't like the sweater. Sweater ruins the dress. Okay. Well, guess what? I wore it.
I know you did. It's over. Yep. So having, an honest opinion around from a teenage daughter you feel is valued. She will be your teenage daughter will be the most honest person in your life.
Okay. What about a teenage son? No. You go you go, hey. How what do you think of this?
You know, whatever. Yeah. Yeah. What what's the what's for dinner? They yeah.
They can't be bothered. I did ask. We did a little test a couple weeks ago, didn't we? And I walked into Beck's room, and I said, what do you think about these shoes? Yeah.
And he went, fine. They look good. Yeah. I'm in the middle of a game. What?
That's that's a that's how every conversation starts. Hold on. I'm in the middle of a game. What's up? But then I went and changed the shoes, and I said, what do you think about these shoes?
And he goes, yeah. Fine. Third time, he goes, why are you doing this? I say the same thing. What do you think about this?
Why are you doing this? That's my answer. I usually ask you my question to you is usually, does this make me look dumb? Right. Which makes a whole lot of sense.
Ask that question. What what am I gonna be like? Yep. Never. No.
I don't. Listen. And it's not that I think you're lying. I just think you have a skewed point of view. Your reference is skewed.
You bought the clothes because you like the clothes. You wear the clothes, and then you question whether the you buying the clothes and wearing the clothes is the right decision. Just wear what you want. Do you like the outfit? Good.
Go out. Ta da. Why is it gotta be a whole thing? It doesn't. You're right.
Just just wear what you bought that you liked when you tried it on. Well, that's that's true. You didn't try it on. Just buy what you held up at the store and went, I think that'll look good. Wear that.
I don't try on stuff. Ew. I know. Because ew. Yeah.
Because what if it doesn't fit right? But also, you have to take off your shoes in the dressing room. Okay. Sometimes there's no place to sit. Why do you have to sit?
Because if you're trying on pants You have to sit? Yeah. Sometimes I'll fall over if I've got one leg in the pant. I'm unbalanced. There are rows such a clatter from inside this the dressing room.
Exactly. Talk. Talk. Talk. Yeah.
Stand up. What did you do? Fell down. Yesterday, I was putting on my pants in the bedroom, and I kinda tipped over a little bit. I had to lean on the bed for support.
I was like, oh, hang tight. Cool. I am cool. Thank you. Right.
Thanks for your honesty. So to answer your question, no. It's not the clothes. Would you, like to choose between this or that? Yeah.
Would you rather this or that? Would you rather be chased by a giant seagull or stung by a jellyfish? Beach edition. Oh, I'm choosing the seagull. Are you?
Why? Because I wanna be stung by a jellyfish. I do. Well, I don't wanna get stung by a jellyfish, but that means if I get stung by a jellyfish, then that means that I've been swimming in the ocean. And that sounds lovely.
You said it was beach edition. You could have been swimming in the ocean when the seagull decided it was gonna attack. True. But you're being chased by him, though. I'm quick.
I feel like you'd be on the beach for that. Like, you'd be on the sand. Fine. I'm quick. Quick.
I'm not quick. So maybe that's why I don't I don't wanna be stung by a jellyfish. I don't either, but I do wanna swim in the ocean. You can swim in the ocean, and the seagull is still gonna come get you. It's it's fine.
I don't know what to tell you. What do you have that the seagull wants? Just give it to him. I don't know. Bread?
A loaf? A grass. Bread? So something that he said was mine? Mine?
Like that? Probably. Yeah? I'm going jellyfish. I heard.
Well, I just wanted to tell you again. Okay. Because you wanna swim in the ocean. Well, I kinda also think that's a good story to tell. Yeah.
Oh, have you ever been stung by a jellyfish? Yeah. I have, actually. It's a good story. A better story?
No. You ever been chased by a giant seagull? Yeah. Let me tell you about it. I was carrying a loaf of bread near the ocean.
I think I think jellyfish is a better story. Giant seagull. Jellyfish. No. I regular boring jellyfish.
Not boring. Plus also jellyfish. Jellyfish are so cool. I love jellyfish. Plus also that would mean that I've been up close to a jellyfish.
See? Approximately one hundred and fifty million people worldwide are estimated to be stung by jellyfish annually. So not that exciting. How many have been chased by giant seagull? One.
Me. You didn't even do the research on that one. There's no giant seagulls. Big. It's just me.
That's it. Would you rather this have had? We talked a little bit earlier about rearranging our bedroom. Yeah. Do you wanna do that?
I mean, we can. What could we do? Literally, we would just flip the room around. Do you wanna do some repainting or no? No.
Okay. No. Okay. I don't. Alright.
Why? Do you not like our orange accent wall? No. I do. Burnt orange wall.
Just wondering. I think the ceiling needs to be painted, and I would like a new I would like the light replaced in there. Get on it. Cool. Good for you.
Do you wanna change our sides of the beds at all, or are you okay with your side of the bed? Why why do you wanna change sides of the bed? What's going on? Why do you want all this change? What do you feel antsy.
I feel like a change is a coming. I just want, mhmm, I just want something new, exciting. If we rotate the room so that the bed is on the opposite wall Yeah. We'll already be on other sides of the room if we stay on the same side of the bed. Fair.
I would be closer to the window wall, and you would be closer to the door. I like being closer to the window when it's summertime. Must be nice. You can have it in the winter. Oh, good.
I don't know. I I mean, it's fine. If you wanna do it, we can do it. It's hard for you because you have to move the Everything. The TV.
Yeah. I hope you move stuff, but the TV is your job only. I know. Because you have to do a wire. Thing about the TV is that, like, I I wired like, I can move the mount.
That's easy. That's no big deal. But I ran the wires through the wall Only on that side? On that side of the room. I haven't done it on the other side because we haven't had the need to for years.
So it's it's a bigger project. Okay. We could just stay put then. I mean, I'm just, you know, between the living room and and that, then I don't know what's going on. You wanna start parking on the street?
What? That's, you know, for a change. Something different. Park on the grass. I don't know.
What are you trying to just wanna do something different. Shake it up. Shake it up. I'm feeling antsy. The change are coming.
Climb up on the roof and sit there a minute. I don't know what to tell you. I'm Jesus. Sit outside. Needs a snack.
I'm gonna go get you a snack. I mean, I'm fine. I'm not grouchy. You seem a little bit irritable. That's possible.
Yeah. You're let's get you a snack, buddy. I don't know I need a snack. Well, let's take you via nap. Okay.
Yeah. Yeah. Shh. Don't shh me like you're rocking me to sleep. Let's turn down the lights.
Nice. I have too much to do. Too much to do. Well, then get to it. Alright.
