Get off earlier. Should be done at 4 PM every day. Every day. Every day. Every day.
Yeah. Well, that's what's happening on this Coffee is a Friday day. Yeah. Good morning. Good morning.
Maybe you've noticed a little crisp in the air. You have to defrost your windows in the morning. I didn't have much of a defrost at all. Oh, I did. Did you?
I had to have my air blowing on the window so it didn't fog up. But I didn't have to, like, wait for the window to defrost before I could drive or anything. But, yeah, it's a little bit crispier. What's going on? What what do you think?
Well, Hallmark just announced their countdown to Christmas. When does that start? That starts on October 18th. That's so early. Less than a month away.
Holy cow. And then, that's a lot of days between October 18th and December 25th. So we're talking about, 2 months of holiday movies. There are 47 new movies that will premiere across the Hallmark Channel, the Hallmark Mystery, and the Hallmark Plus streaming services. Wow.
I didn't know there were that many Hallmark Channels. Did you? Well, that's why they gotta have that many movies. So there's 47 new ones. Movies.
Yep. How many total will they be airing? Are they every day? They'll come out every Friday, Saturday, and Sunday at 8 PM on the Hallmark Channel. So that's the new ones.
And every Thursday at 8 on the Hallmark Mystery. Okay. They have they also have a reality competition series, Finding Mister Christmas. Oh, where is he hidden? There's also a mini office reunion in Confessions of a Christmas Letter with Angela Kinsey and Brian Baumgartner who played, Kevin.
Kevin. So Kevin and Angela. That's a mini reunion, 2 people. That's not a mini reunion. That's just 2 people getting together.
Friends. We've seen a like, that's one guy away from just being a guy. Okay. Listen to this. Here's some of their here's some of their, Christmas movie names.
Holiday Crashers, scouting for Christmas Alright. Operation Nut Cracker. Okay. The Christmas charade. We have got to play that game again this holiday season Yeah.
We do. Where you gotta guess the name of it, or you've gotta, like, come up with the plot. Yep. Yep. It's a good game.
It is a good game. Trivia at Saint Nick's. Trivia at Saint Nick's. Okay. I I could make plots for most of this stuff.
You can. 3 wise men and a boy. Okay. What do you think these are all about? I don't know what these are about.
I just have a list. Oh. Save the list. Guess what? They also have that one that we talked about that while ago called holiday touchdown, a Chiefs love story.
That's right. Remember that one? Yeah. They're that does that it's like a Taylor Travis thing, but it's not. But it's not.
It's not. It's not the same. It's just centered around football. With the Chiefs. I'm looking at this picture of it.
Yeah. You know, it's Chiefs everywhere. Yeah. How much did the Chiefs pay to do that? The Chiefs didn't pay anything.
How much did Hallmark pay? There you go. A lot. And who does that money go to? The NFL or directly to the Chiefs?
The NFL. I the it should be a Vikings love story. Okay. Alright. It ends in heartbreak.
I'll tell you that much. Why? Oh, you broke up with the guy. No. It was mutual.
It was a mutual decision. I told you Do you know my favorite part about this is that you say that, but Kirk Cousins has no idea what you're going for. We talked about this. He knows. He's like, yeah.
Go do your life, Chantel. I'm like, yeah. I need to. It's time, Kirk. It's time we moved on.
It's fine. He has no idea. It's amicable. And his wife, Julie, also has no idea. So they're in Atlanta, clear across the country from where you are sitting right this second.
Correct. And they don't even know. They do. Okay. Alright.
Get your countdown to Christmas on. October 18th. October 18th. Good news today. It's about Dana Jorgensen who's in 7th grade at Brunswick Middle School in Ohio.
And since Dana was a kindergartner, she has asked people to not give her gifts on her birthday, but instead to donate money to different charities. Since she was in kindergarten? Yep. These are different kinds of people. I know.
Right? Back when she was 5, she helped out a local animal shelter for her birthday. She's now again in 7th grade. So this year, she raised enough money to build 2 park benches Aw. To honor fallen police officers in Cleveland.
Wow. Isn't this cool? Yes. She raised $1600 through, GoFundMe to make it happen, and she said it felt amazing. I was smiling from ear to ear probably for about a week after.
Both of Dana's parents are Cleveland police officers, which inspired her to give back to the community, and Dana's generosity didn't go unnoticed. She was recognized by Cleveland police and the mayor Justin Bibb. My parents never forced me to do this stuff, she said. I I just kept going. I just love the way it makes me feel and seeing other people enjoy the things I've worked so hard to achieve.
What a good kid. Isn't that cool? What a good human. Yeah. Dana Jorgensen, 7th grader in Ohio.
So she's 12, 12, 13? Right. That's amazing. Yeah. Making it happen.
So good for you. Good job. Good for you, Dana Jorgensen. Your good news to get you going. Emery does this thing.
I've talked about this before. It's making me crazy. What's up? She just does this thing where if I say anything incorrectly or I mess up something It's wild. Is wild.
That's crazy. Yes. And she said it's not cool when you say other things are crazy. Because No. It's not cool when you do it.
They didn't think it was cool. Right. But then when you say it because you're trying to be like, no. That thing you just said is crazy. She's like, no.
It's not cool when you do it. Nope. Don't you're trying too hard. And then she just dismisses it and walks away, which then makes you go, oh, it's crazy. I think it's the tone in which she says it that makes me crazy because I go, that is not crazy.
For example, last night Yes. We saw some pickleball paddles. Yes. And I said, oh, do we need some some paddleball paddles? And she goes, paddleball.
That's crazy. Yeah. Yeah. And you were like, no. It's not crazy.
It's not that crazy. That's a simple mistake. It triggers you. It really does. Found that out.
And now it's a game. It's a game where a high schooler is trolling you, and it's working. Oh, man. That's crazy. Life.
I can't live this life again. That is crazy. Well, we're already been bullied by high school kids. I can't do this again. I just think it's hilarious because instead of, like, you misspoke.
Yeah. Like, you wanted to say, like, oh, we should totally play pickleball, and what she heard was paddleball because that's what you said, and she went paddleball. What's a different reaction? You would go like, did you mean pickleball? Like, she could have asked, but she knew what you meant and that you said it wrong.
So instead, you go, paddle ball is crazy. Paddle ball is crazy. And she go, no. It's not that crazy. It is not that crazy.
But, yeah. It works. It really does. It's a giant big red button on your back, and she goes, that's crazy. Slow motion, and you go it's fantastic.
So that might, in my own private way, go, I'm gonna get you back. Yeah. I know. And then later on, you try safe, mature. I'm a Yeah.
Yeah. Mature, emotionally Mhmm. Available woman. Yeah. So so then something will happen.
She'll say something, anything. 2 seconds later, you're like, that's crazy, which is not how the joke works. And she's like, nope. It's not cool. You just you don't even get it.
No. And that's crazy. It's crazy you don't get it. I know it is. I just wanna be cool.
Also, the things I say are not that crazy. Are a little crazy. No. Sometimes sometimes they're a little crazy. Last night, well, I guess it was yesterday yesterday during the day, and Emery had a headache.
And she often gets headaches. And it's often because she doesn't eat a lot of protein, I think, is a lot. And she doesn't get a lot of sleep, and she doesn't drink nearly enough water. But she had a headache at school. And the text that I get is, I don't need a lecture.
Yeah. And so then I say, oh, I don't know what to say to that. Because my main thing the first thing I thought of to do was to give a lecture. Yeah. Drink more water.
Eat more food. Eat more food. Have some protein. Eat better food choices. All things that would help.
So what did I end up saying? Do you remember? No. Because I No. I don't.
Myself go, I don't know what to say if it's not a lecture. It's just it's just what I do. I mean, all of my suggestions are, going to help if you'll follow them, but you don't wanna follow them. So I guess, just stop talking about it. The lecture.
Because a lecture is not the answer. But that's not the first time she said that either. There have been times where she's just asked questions or whatever, and then you've been like, I have advice or I've done it too or I'm like, here's what you need to do. Here's the I don't stop. I don't wanna lecture.
And you're like, dude? We're your parents. We're supposed to lecture. That's part of our job. It is our job.
Like, I'm, I'm passing on advice. It's gonna sound like a lecture. But it's helpful. Yeah. Helpful tips, not a lecture.
That's what I need to start saying. These are helpful tips, not a lecture. She's gonna say, I don't want your helpful tips. It won't matter what you call it. I don't want that.
I don't want helpful tips. I don't want the mom trained. I don't want the lecture. You can keep it all. But I could I've got good tips and tricks to give.
I know. Listen. Listen to my lecture. Here's a grilled cheese sandwich. We call it that.
Like, it's not a lecture. It's a grilled cheese sandwich. Have a here's a snack. That's what I'd call it. Yeah.
Here, have a snack. And I want a snack. Yes. You do. Yes.
You do. It's not a lecture. Mhmm. It's a little snack. It's a word snack.
A word snack. I like it. I like it. Yes. Have a little bit of have a bite of this word snack.
Mhmm. Yeah. Get a handful of this word mix. It's gonna be good. I love it.
Yeah. Word snacks. That's a good one. Let's work on that. Keep the workshop going.
That's good. That's the solution. We're working. I can feel it. Yeah.
It's workshopping. Look. It's not a lecture. It's a it's a word snack workshop. Workshop.
Mhmm. Yeah. It's so easy to say too. Word snack workshop. Snack workshop.
Yeah. Yeah. It'll catch on for sure. We have a coworker here, and she's lovely. And she's a young woman, and she came in yesterday just to chitchat for a minute.
Mhmm. And she said, I really like listening to you and Josh in the morning. You guys are a lot of fun. You remind me of my mom and dad. And I said I kinda laughed.
I said, oh, thanks. That's nice. Yeah. And she said, yeah. Sometimes they bicker a little bit, and it reminds me of you Oh.
Josh. I don't know. I mean, I feel like we aren't, like, like, hey. Let's let's go in this morning to work and just bicker on the radio. Yeah.
Can we can we, you know, save save any argument that we might have for when we're on the radio. Yeah. That that sounds Right before we go to bed, we're just so mad at each other. We're, like, save it for the radio. She told me the same thing a couple of days ago.
She was listening, and I and I walked past, and she was like, I'm just listening to your show. It's so great. Remind me of my mom and dad. And I was I it's a fine compliment. Like, I'm glad we make you feel cozy and comfortable.
Like, that's how I took it. Was it, ah, you've it makes you feel familiar. Right. That's good. That's how I took it initially.
And I think that's great. That's how I took it. But then as I walked away, I kinda went like, she's like a young person. Am I am I an old person? Mhmm.
I'm an old person. When do I when am I when did that happen? Overnight, it seems like. Here's what else happened. This week, I've been hit kinda twice this week.
So, yes, yesterday, she said, you remind me of my old people parents. And then earlier old people. They're probably lovely, nice people. Sure they are lovely. And they're likely younger than us, which is even worse.
So earlier in the week, a different coworker at my other job mentioned that he and his band had booked a touring deal. And I was like, that's great. That's really cool. And I was talking to him about it, and he said, yeah. He goes, our our lead singer is he's like a 45 year old man.
Woah. Woah. And I was like, woah. Woah. Oh, man.
Not 45. 45. Oh, no. Ew. Yeah.
Yeah. Yeah. I don't like 45 year old. 40 year old. Yeah.
Mid forties. Sick. So twice. I've been hit twice, is it? Funny.
No. It isn't funny. It's funny. These are those old 45 year old man. And then you guys remind me of my mom and dad.
Those are great compliments, both of them. Just a good reminder that you know? We're no spring chickens. Spring chickens. We are not.
Fall chickens now. Is that a thing? I think so. I think the fall chickens are the old ones that can't be I don't know. I don't know either.
I don't know. What's the difference between what's a spring chicken versus a a different other seasoned chicken? I liked being a summer chicken. That was nice. Were you a summer chicken once upon a time?
I felt like all summer I was a summer chicken, and now I'm moving into my fall chicken era. Did you ever get tan enough to be Yes. I got tan enough to be a summer chicken. Yeah. Did you?
Or did you just stay I stayed pretty feathered. Pretty pasty. Yeah. Okay. A spring chicken, yeah, the definition by definition Yeah.
A spring chicken is a young person. No. That's true. No spring chicken yourself anymore. Okay.
But is there such thing as a fall chicken? An autumn chicken. I don't know. No. They just give you fall chicken recipes.
Yeah. That's not it. Here's something with acorns in it. Delicious. Mhmm.
No. Not Keep your acorns out of stuff. I haven't ever eaten an acorn. And an acorn squash. Oh, acorn squash is so good.
Alright. Sounds like something a chicken would eat. So there we were at the store. Yeah. Emery is doing some clothes shopping.
She's looking for something specific. And she pulls out a pair of pants, and she says, are these too mom ish? And I said, 2 mommish? What does that even mean? 2 mommish?
If looking cool Oh. Is looking too mommish. I said yes. Look. We were trying to find some some clothes, yesterday afternoon, and I found out that, if you like clearance and you like capris, boy, are they best friends right now.
And you you could have gotten a pair in every color and floral pattern and any kind you want. Styles. Yeah. Oh, yeah. A pair for Easter.
That's because A pair for 4th July. Not the pair of pants that she was looking at. No. I understand. I but I found those for you, and she was disgusted.
So those were very mom ish where, the pants that she was holding up were super long. And super trendy and cool. Oh. So I said, yeah. If 2 mom is being cool, then, yes, those are 2 mom ish.
Because those pants are cool. Because ain't nothing cooler than a mom looking cool. You're right. You know? I do know.
I do know that when it comes to a mom and her teenage daughter, same fashions. Same. Same. And they both love matching. She gets mad at me because I like a good cardigan.
Right? They had some good cardigans on sale last night. You were like, I love these, and you were like petting it. Like, oh, I love a cardigan. Because that's what you do.
You love a car, man. Looking at school spirit week, and so she was looking today as, like, the extreme school colors. Yeah. So she was looking for her specific school colors. And you happen to be wearing your grandpa sweater?
As as I do in the chillier days. Okay. And it happened to be in the same color that she was looking for, and I said, just wear dad's sweater. And she went, Why why why throwie up noise? I didn't deserve that.
It's nice sweaters. She didn't do it to you. She did it to your sweater. Yeah. It's a nice sweater.
It is a nice sweater. Doesn't deserve the treatment either. And because grandpa Kor is a thing. Right. And I am well in season with that.
Grandpa Kor is it. Where's that grandpa sweater? Mhmm. That's so rude. I don't her clothes ever.
I'm a nice guy. Sorry. I'm gonna have to start. Go for it. Wear the Yeah.
That's that's a good thing for a parent to do to their Yeah. Why does she get away with it the other way? Because she's 15. Oh, okay. Alright.
Fine. Too mom ish. I'll accept it. Nothing I wear is too mom ish. I am What are you wearing today?
Is it mom ish? Yes. Alright. When you think about elementary school, what is, like, one of the highlights? Like, an event that happened and you were like, oh, it's this time.
There was always the parachute. I loved the parachute. K. That was great. K.
Recess every day was always good. K. Are we talking elementary? Is that what you said? I just wanna make sure.
Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. And, and and then there were there was always the book fair.
Yes. And then there was, at at the elementary school, I went to 2nd and 3rd grade. They had a a room in the basement, and they would open up a Santa shop down there every Christmas so you could bring in, you know, a few dollars or whatever and go shopping for family members. They I like that. Okay.
Specifically, I wanna talk about the book fair. Oh, okay. Because that was the best side of the last 6 book fair. That was awesome. I ordered a poster or 2.
Did you ever order any books? Books. And then there was always some weird stuff too, like, like bookmarks and erasers and stuff like that. Yeah. Always.
Invisible pen. But then the even better than, like, here's the, like, weirdly almost newspaper print, like, catalog you can shop from. The day you came into the classroom and your stuff you'd ordered was sitting on your desk That was the What a day. I know. That was so good.
My cat poster's here. Yes. Okay. I just heard this thing yesterday, and I love it so much. So the Scholastic Book Fair has a new program called share the fair K.
Where you can donate money to help students who might necessarily not have money to buy books. So you can contribute to this fund, and then they distribute you say what school you're a part of or what district you're a part of, and they kind of distribute that money so that kids who don't necessarily have money can go buy their own books. I love that. Which I think is amazing because can you imagine how excited you are to get your books? And everybody else in the classroom is excited to get their books, and then there's a kid who maybe not Yeah.
Had the opportunity to buy books. No. How out must that kid be feeling? Like, every time this came around, you always sent our kids with a little extra to be able to help, somebody in their class get a book or something. Right?
Like, that was a big thing every year. Yeah. I would set my kids with $20, and I would say, hey. Use 10 of this for yourself, and then give 10 to maybe somebody who's, like, shopping. Somebody look for somebody who needs it.
I can't guarantee that that's what they always did. No? But we tried to set them up for these options. Up with the tools to maybe help somebody Right. Who didn't couldn't help themselves.
So I don't know if they did. They always said they did, but then they came home with all the pencils and erasers, and I'd be like, this is where all of my $20 went, or did you help somebody else? Yeah. I Mom, I I bought them a pencil too. Yeah.
But I like this, I like this idea though. I think it's fantastic. Yeah. It's great. Everyone should be excited about literacy, and everyone should be excited about being able to share, in the joys of the Scholastic Book Fair.
Yeah. Because this is cool thing. Best. The Scholastic Book Fair. So I remember my mom we got those catalogs, and my mom would say, okay.
You can pick out 2 books, and it'd be like, just 2? Yeah. Ugh. How am I gonna pick? It's so That's that's where I started my Goosebumps collection.
Oh. Was at the book fair. Goosebumps. Yeah. RL Stine and all that?
Yeah. And all that. I would I would circle I would go through once and circle all the ones I really wanted, and then I'd have to go through a second time and narrow it down to, like, top 10. And then I'd have to narrow it down to top 5, and then I'd be like, how can I just pick 2, mom? And because I was the baby, she said, well, you can pick 3.
Oh, I'm the baby. Of course, you did. Of course, you did. Oh. So Pocatello is getting a new logo and a new tagline.
You ready for it? I'm ready. What is it? So the new tagline is the one and only. Okay.
Pocatello, which okay. Alright. I can dig on that. Okay. And the new logo is kinda cool.
It's the word Pocatello, and then they worked in the new city flag into the first o of Pocatello. But then they're doing some interesting things with it graphically, like they've got, like a mountain bike trail, like City Creek or something like that Uh-huh. In in the background, and they've got Pocatello, the new logo across the front there. But where the first o is, it's been removed, and one of the mountain bikers is where the o is. Yes.
You do that. Yeah. So it's kind of a cool concept. I like it graphically. I think that's very cool.
The one and only. The one and only. I don't what was it before? Well, I don't know that they they had the flag, and then the flag got, like, really kind of mocked online a lot. They redid the flag.
Like, the like, they were one of the worst city flags in America. And so they rebranded the flag, and the flag's very cool, and now they're working that into the logo. In 2019, here's what it said. So the need for a new logo was determined in 2019. The project got delayed because of, COVID 19.
So in 20 23, the project was, resurrected, they said. The city's old logo contained an outline of the city skyline that had been in use for over 30 years, and some felt it was not an accurate depiction of the Pocatello skyline and was outdated. So it served as a great logo for, like, 3 decades, but now the logo has been changed to what you see there, Pocatello, which is cool. The city chose to move forward with the rebrand to bring cohesiveness to all city departments, similar to what you see in Idaho Falls, I suppose, with the blue wave thing that's on, you know, all over the place. They'll be using this new logo in a similar manner all over Pocatello's stuff Yeah.
Which is kinda cool. So, they kinda talk about who they hired to do the stuff. The mayor, Brian Blad in Pocatello said there are some exciting times for the city of Pocatello. Rebranding is a gay great way to promote the city and the community, both inside the community and the world. And a big thank you to the city council for voting to approve this great logo and tagline, and now the real work begins, he says.
So you'll start to see that being implemented across the city by January 1st next year. So Well, nice job. The one and only. I let listen. I like Pocatello.
I do too. I think it's great. There for a lot of years. Yeah. The one and only.
Kind of an interesting category. And only. It is there I don't know of another Pocatello. 1. There's only 1.
Like, if there was a city like Salem, which every state has a Salem, there'd be a a the one and only wouldn't be applicable because you'd be like, one of many. Yeah. Did you hear my joke? No. I did.
You made a Highlander joke about Pocatello. Which I don't even know the high is it Highlander? There can be only 1. I guess. I've never watched it.
I haven't either. But But I think that's the line. Yeah. Good job. What do you think a Highlander is?
I don't know. Let's just let's brainstorm for a minute. No peeking. Okay. No cheating.
Okay. What is a Highlander? I think there's a sword involved. Well, isn't the Highlands from, like, Scotland? Scottish Highlands.
So yeah. K. Maybe it's a Scottish it's gotta be a Scottish, like, warrior. So there's a there's a kilt. I really feel like there's a sword involved.
I think so too. Like, a sword goes up in the air. There could be only one There could be only one. Highlander. I bet it's not that.
Only one to rule them all. That's a different thing. Different. That is freedom. That's a different thing too.
Anyway, congratulations to the city of Pocatello for your your new rebrand. To be only 1. Yeah. With the one and only. Oh, yeah.
I had the opportunity yesterday to be in a room full. It wasn't a room. It was this bigger space, but it was a space full of 800 second graders. That's a lot of kids. And it was awesome.
Yeah? So second graders are, like, 8? Yeah. K? They were watching a band perform, and they were excited, and they were loud, and they were jumping around.
But the energy that they had was contagious, and it was exciting. And I just loved their just the joy for life that second graders had. It was awesome, and I loved it. And I may or may not have gotten a little bit teary eyed just watching them because it was exciting. It is I I'm I'm trying to remember, like, when I was in 2nd grade.
I feel like that was a good time. It was a good time. Who was your teacher in 2nd grade? She was my favorite teacher, missus Matson. Boy.
In Door Shack Elementary. Yeah. See, I was at Ethel Boys Elementary for 2nd and 3rd grade, and I sure don't remember. You don't remember your 2nd grade teacher? I'd have to go look at a at an old photo.
I don't remember. But I do I do remember feeling like I was in the prime of my life. Yeah. Like, 8 years old. Fantastic.
Everything was new, and everything was was fun. And that's when I had my show and tell with my Ghostbusters shirt. Oh, you're glow in the dark? Mhmm. That's a long shirt?
Oh. Yep. Shoot. It's also the last day of second grade is when I found out I was gonna need glasses. Oh, was that a sad day?
It was definitely a transitional day because, you know, not that I was the coolest kid, but when I got those awesome glasses with the safety bar across the top to make them sturdier so they'd last longer, I may have taken a step or 2 down from being the cool kid. You know? No, John. It's a choice that you make. And I don't know like, I don't recall being at the doctor's office and looking at the wall of of options and being like, yeah.
Those are the ones I want. Can I have the ones that look so cool? Well, in the eighties, they probably did they did look cool. That would have been 1990. Oh.
Yeah? In 2nd grade? Didn't look good. Yeah. If I was 8 8?
Yeah. In 19 it would have been, yeah, early 1990. That's what I said. I did quick math and did 8 +82 is 90. Good job.
Thanks. It was easy. Hey. Listen. I don't want you to ever think that you're not cool because you are cool.
No. I'm not. But You are. But I'm just saying no. But the, those glasses Uh-huh.
Were the coolest. Did you There had to been other options. There had to have been, but your parents, they were probably inexpensive. Right? Well, no.
I'm I'm And they don't dirty. That's the it was durability. 100%. They went, he's not gonna break those. Did you?
I probably bent them, but I don't think they ever broke. When Beck had glasses, Beck had glasses in the 2nd grade also, and he went through a lot of glasses. Right. But much cooler frames. Like, they he had dark rims and, you know, like, we let him kinda have some some say in that.
I don't think I had some say in that. Oh. I think it was like, this is what you're gonna have because it's what's gonna work, and it's gonna hold the lenses and keep you so you can see. And I That's what you needed. You need to be able to see.
I could see how cool I look. That's full show. The coolest. Stop it. Have you seen pictures?
Yeah. No. You haven't. The coolest. You are the coolest.
I'm gonna dig up a photo of my cool glasses. Yeah. Dig up a photo. Post it. We'll see.
We'll let the Internet take a vote. Are these the coolest glasses you've ever seen or not? They're Dwight Schrute glasses. I know. They're fine.
Yeah. They're only the coolest people wear those. Come on. You come on. Do they still make those?
I think they do. I think I've seen some influencers wear those same type of glasses these days. No. You haven't. I gotta look it up.
You were blind in the 2nd grade? How did they know that you needed glasses? I couldn't see the board, and so I was probably struggling. Oh, man. They're awful.
They call them aviator, but they shouldn't because aviator implies that you would be able to fly an airplane, which you can't. That's probably why you got them because they were called aviators, and you were like, those ones. I don't think so. Wanna be just like Top Gun. I don't think so.
I they shouldn't call them aviator glasses because that is inappropriately named. The I believe when they when I got them, they were called engineer glasses. Even cooler. Yes. Yes.
Nothing cooler than being in, well, then 3rd grade looking like I was an engineer. Everybody wanted to be that guy's friend. Hey. Come on over. Hang out.
You're cool. You are cool. No. So you wanna know how I found friends? How?
All the guys with the same glasses. Really? That's who we hang out with, and we went, hey. You're going through it? Me too.
Let's be friends. Let's just Let's go play legends. Wanna play monopoly? Oh, no. Yeah.
And we did a lot. A lot. Cool. You are cool. I know.
I told you. I all the all the cool factor. Big time. Listen. I I, I got better, I think.
Am I cooler now? You're yes. You're the coolest. Oh. You're the coolest guy I know.
I I tell you this all the time. The coolest? The coolest. So cool. Cooler than Kool Aid?
Yeah. Oh, wow. And what's cooler than being called cool by someone who knows what cool is? I'm so cool. Just a couple of cool kids Yeah.
You and me. Yeah. Renaming the show. It's no longer wake up class in 97. It's wake up cool with Josh and Jantel.
Yeah. Cool, cool, cool. Yeah. So using the restroom. Yes.
I finished. I washed my hands. I came out, into the kitchen like normal. And then I, walked down the hall and nothing happened. Everything was just normal.
Wrong. That seemed normal to me. We went to use the restroom. Yeah. And I noticed that you were still in the restroom.
Right. And I stood outside the door. Mhmm. And I said, I'm gonna scare him because he likes to scare me. Yeah.
And I've often tried to scare you with very little effect. Yeah. Today was my lucky day. I don't know if it was. It was.
You jumped. I I need to see receipts. I don't have any Yeah. Which is the frustrating part. Stupid.
Whatever. You know you jumped. You did. Because you did you did kind of a karate chop. Sort of.
Yeah. I'm I'm more of a a fight than flight kinda guy. And so if something startles at me, I kind of attack. Oh, you're admitting that you got startled. No.
I said I said when something does, I didn't say when you did. It happened. You jumped. You didn't scream or anything, but you went took a step back. I went.
You went, Flinched. Uh-huh. Flinch. That's that's a good thing. Yeah.
I'll take a flinch. There was a flinch. You jumped. And then I I went into fight mode, which was attack the thing that made me flinch. I don't know why that happens.
That's my neurological response. It is. And then yours. Karate chopped. My Yeah.
Run-in place. Jump in place. Yeah. And your feet. And it's fantastic.
Your response is way more fun than mine. Mine, I go, I attack. You do. Yeah. You did.
Karate chopped me. Yeah. Right in the neck. Think I karate chopped you in the neck. Right in the neck.
No. That didn't happen. Yeah. No. But I did you were right next to me.
That didn't happen. You were right next to me, and I went and grabbed you, like, startled. Gotta get you. Now I've now I got you. Now I don't know what to do.
That's the part that I haven't figured out. What to do? Catch the threat, then what? What do you do next? I got you.
You're gonna pay for this. And I go, yeah. That's right. Why, Iota? I don't know what to do once I catch you.
I don't either. I'm gonna have to sort that out because then I just kinda let you go. And I was like, alright. Everything's calm. Cool.
Well, because I wasn't a legit threat, was I? Maybe that's it. If it was a legit threat, what would I do? I don't know. Would you take them to the ground?
Then take it to the ground. They need pile drive. Yeah. Drop an elbow. Take it to the ground.
And then, yeah, drop an elbow. That's a move. That's what I would do. That's what you try to do all the time. Your elbow's ineffective.
Why? Because you try to do that. Like, I'll be just hanging out in the bedroom, and you'll be, like, on your phone. And then, I'll be on my phone, and you'll decide that you're done on your phone and that you want attention. And so then you come into the bedroom all quick, and then you're like, I'm on a pile driver.
And you go to drop your elbow on me, and that's not effective. It is. Because you get mad, and then you put your phone down. Right. So it is effective.
It's not it's not ends justifies the means No. As they say. No. No. Dropping the elbow is not the answer.
But, anyway, good job. Thank you. Thank you. I got you. Sorta.
I got you today. Kinda, sorta. But, also, I caught you. So did you? I did.
Okay. Because you jumped. One point for you. Success. Guess what?
What's up? I kind of, found out about something. Okay. And, I'm excited that this afternoon, I'm gonna share it with you. I'm gonna keep it secret until this afternoon.
Oh. But but you've been, you've been like, you need to plan a thing, and you need to do it. Yeah. It's your turn to plan a day. Yeah.
So it's a great opportunity tonight What is it? For us to, go do a thing, and so I found out about this. I stumbled across this when I was looking at something completely unrelated, and I went, this would be such a fun, cool thing. Oh. And, and so, hopefully, it turns out that way, but we'll find out tonight.
So, I'm have to wear? What do I have to break? Figure that out. I'll I'll kinda prepare everything, beforehand, but 6 o'clock tonight, you gotta be somewhere. So just, you know, be prepared.
Do I look for spoilers? There are zero, evidence of anything. What how'd you find out about it then? Because I, like I said, I was looking at something else. Uh-huh.
And I stumbled across a website, and I went, that's really neat. What is that about? So I checked it out. Interesting. And I'll tell you that, like, tonight and tomorrow are the final days to even be able to do this thing for the year Woah.
Until, like, July of next year. What is this? Oh, what could it be? What do you think? I don't know.
This is why I hate surprises. I know. I know. I know. And I kinda gave you a little teaser last time.
It's like, oh, you got plans tomorrow. And you went, what? What do I what are you talking about? You never yeah. I know.
I don't wanna say never because you've done this before, but it's rare that you plan the activity. Yeah. I'm usually the planner. Right. So we'll see.
Love this. Yeah. We'll see. It'll be fun. I think.
I hope. It should be. And, and then maybe we'll, share some stuff. Maybe I'll maybe I'll take some pictures or something, and and then other people can know about it. But but it's a little secret.
I got a little secret in store. Secret. Secret. Yeah. I got a secret.
But but do you have any idea I have no idea. Guest. No. Because here's here's my goal here right now is for you to tell me things you think it might be so I can write them down for future ideas. So go ahead.
What do you think it might be that I have planned for this evening? That is very clever. That's that's good. Yeah. What do you think it is?
I I really have no idea. Oh, but if you had to guess, what do you think it might be? A picnic in the mountains. A mountain picnic. Alright.
Picnic in mountains written down. It's not that. Go ahead. A getaway for 2 at a secluded Airbnb with a hot tub. Seclude oh, I like this.
Secluded Airbnb plus hot tub. Okay. It's not that. K. Alright.
Go ahead. A concert of one of our favorite bands. Oh, okay. It's not that. I don't I don't know.
I've got no direct no other idea. Hopefully, that means, what it actually is isn't disappointing. But, also, thanks for the great ideas for future reference. I've got those written down. Don't lose that note.
I won't. I might. I probably will. You probably will. Anyway, little little something something, in store tonight.
Oh. So I'm excited. But you don't even know what it is. But what shall I wear? I'll I'll probably give you some help with that.
K. Because you'll wanna be, appropriately dressed. Warm? I don't know. Maybe.
We'll see. We'll see what the day turns out like. It's nice and sunny right now. It might be But if it's at night, it'll be a little chilly. It's in the afternoon.
It's at 6. At 6. That's that's evening. Not 10. It's way different temperature at 6 than it is at 10.
Okay. Okay. Okay. Settle. Settle.
I'm settled. How long does it last? Oh, as long as it takes. It's not an answer. Do we have to drive somewhere A little bit.
Or is it in town? Yes. Does it involve other people? There will likely be other people there. Gross.
It's not my not my fault. That's just the way it's gonna be. I have no idea. Yeah. I'm really clueless.
I know. Yeah. I kinda like it. Yeah. Well, you'll find out later on tonight.
Hip hip hooray. Big news in the Uncrustable department. Do we have one of those here? An Uncrustable? Department.
No. Hold on. Let me get this. Hello, the Uncrustable department. What?
Like, what? We got some big news. Big news from the Uncrustables department. Yeah. The sandwiches I don't like because they're frozen, and then you have to let it thaw out and get soggy.
Here's the thing. I never thought that I would like them. And then when we went to Hiawatha last year Right. You were supposed to take your own lunch, which we didn't know, and there was not any places to eat nearby. And so we get there, and we ordered they had sack lunches that you could purchase.
But the sack lunch options were Uncrustables Yep. Or a tuna not tuna, a turkey sandwich. And I had the turkey sandwich. Don't like listen. I have to look at the meat.
And if the meat is thick, then it's no go for me. So I looked at the turkey, and I went, that's not I'm gonna, I guess, it's Uncrustables for me. Gross. And then I ate that Uncrustable after our bike ride, and it was the best thing I ever ate. It was so delicious.
I don't like them. And I'll tell you why it was delicious because it had thawed out Yeah. But it also baked in the sun a little bit, and so it was a little bit crispy. No. It was good.
So now I kinda look at the Uncrustables, and I go, should I buy a box of those? Just make a p b and j. But, anyway, it's easier. I get it. It's already made.
It's an Uncrustable. Alright. What's the new flavor? What's the situation? What's going on?
What? How do you know? Because I can read. They have grape, strawberry Okay. Honey, and hazelnut.
No. Those are their flavors. Until today, when they have Hold on. Hold on. What?
These are just different kinds of jelly Yeah. That are or whatever because hazelnut's not a jelly. Yeah. That's mixed with peanut butter. Yeah.
So they do a peanut butter hazelnut? No. It's just just hazelnut. The chocolate flavored hazelnut. That's what's that called?
Nutella? Yeah. But they can't say Nutella because I don't think they use Nutella. Okay. So and then they have strawberry and grape and honey?
Yeah. I a peanut butter and honey sandwich is good. Nice. Right? It's pretty tasty.
Well, until today, they have a new flavor. And it is? Peanut butter and raspberry. See, here's the thing You don't like seeds. Jellies.
I hate the seeds. I like the seeds. I hate seeds and things because they get in my teeth, and I won't like it. A a boba last night, a boba tea. Right.
And it had seeds in it. No. I don't know what kind of seeds they were, but I loved it. No. And I as I was drinking it chew my beverages.
And I do. As I was drinking it, I'd said, Josh would hate this, but I love it. I I hate pulp. I hate I hate I like it. Seeds.
I just like things smooth. Even when I go get, like, a smoothie and they're using, like, real fruit and stuff and it's a little bit grainy, I'm like I'm like, I don't like it. I like it. Mm-mm. No.
It's not it. You like things smooth? I like them smooth. Well, I guess I better shave my legs. Hey.
Hey. I like them smooth. I don't know. It's a weird thing to say. So the new flavor is raspberry.
Yeah. Well, the the are they available now today? Sure. Because today's raspaberry day. That's correct.
You're right. So it would make sense that they would roll it out today if it's if it's a thing. Look. If it's seedless, I'm all about it. I like seedless strawberry jam.
It's one of my favorites, but I like it seedless. And everybody in the house gets mad at me because I like seedless jams. And they're like, no. But what about the seeds? Keep them.
Have them all. I like the seeds. See? Seeds. See?
Seeds. Alrighty. Friday, time for your would you rather this or that question of the day. Final one of the week. What you got, Chantel?
What you got? Settle down. I'm settled. Hi. Would you rather not shower for a week Oh, boy.
Or shower 3 times a day for a week? But why? I know. I think it's easier to shower 3 times a day for a dude. If I was a dude That's true.
Easy. Because then I don't have to redo my hair, blow dry my hair, redo my makeup. But listen. It didn't say what kind of shower, and I recently learned that ladies have, like, 12 different kinds of showers. That's true.
So it doesn't say you have to Do a full shower. Shower. You're right. 3 times a day? I could actually I wouldn't mind a shower 3 times a day if I didn't have to wash my hair.
I hate blow drying my hair. Why are you looking at me like that? Rather be bald Yes. Or have to blow dry your hair 3 times a day? Sometimes, I think being bald would have a lot of advantages.
Such as? Not blow drying my hair. I've never had to blow dry my hair. That's true. See?
See? Not having to have to worry about how to style it that day. I wear a hat. Today, for example Because I don't like to worry about styling my bald head. Exactly.
I was too tired today. Yeah. And I said, I just can't do the curling. I can't do it. So it is up and above.
I would rather shower 3 times a day than not shower for a week, and that is because not showering for a week sounds really risky. I would also I would pick the 3 times a day if I didn't have to wash my hair. If I have to wash my hair 3 times a day, then I'm not showering for a week. Okay. What about this for a loophole?
What? Is there a predetermined amount of time between showers, or can I take 3 5 minute showers Back to back? Back to back? Because if you did that, you're still only having to do your hair once. Okay.
Yes. There's the loophole. You have to do it once in the morning, once in the afternoon, and once at night. Fine. I'll do it.
Not a problem. I will if I don't have to wash my hair. You do. Yeah. It's a full shower.
Then I'm not showering for a week. Oh, gross. Deal with it. So gross. Deal with it.
You're gross. Deal with it. Hey, Chantel. Hey. What's up, Josh?
Guess what? What's up, Josh? The show Is over. Is complete for today, which is which is exciting because that means we get to go kick off the weekend real soon. Put a toothpick in it, it's done.
Is that? I don't think anyone has ever said that. Put a toothpick in it, it's done. Put a toothpick I think it's a fork. Nope.
We're going with toothpick in it. It's done. I'm googling that exact phrase. Now I know that a that a toothpick test is done. I understand where this comes from.
Yeah. But I don't think the idiom, is is that. It's okay. I make up my own idioms. Skinny as a toothpick is an idiom.
I'm trying I'm looking at toothpick idioms. This is real important. I know. I got it wrong. No.
No. You did your own thing. Which is how I live my life. Yeah. I can't find put a tooth I I understand where you're going from, but why put a fork in it?
I don't know. Because Stick a fork in it. Right? Put a fork in it. It's done.
Stick a fork in this commentary that something is finished, over completed, and can go on no more. Yeah. Which is which is the one you use, but you use toothpick instead. Right. But why a fork?
I don't I don't know. I'm trying to find it. And it's It doesn't. It doesn't matter. Kind of important because it makes no sense.
None of them make sense. What did we say yesterday? That really gets my goat. That doesn't make any sense. None of them make sense.
Right. Right. So So this is this is kind of the earliest use of stick a fork in it is from Dizzy Dean, an American baseball player and commentator in the forties. He was referring to a pitcher who was doing a poor job and said you can stick a fork in him, folks. He's done.
It started in the forties in baseball. So it doesn't mean make any sense. Guy Something he said. It's a guy who probably meant to say stick a toothpick in it. That's what I'm saying.
And and he he did it wrong. And you have now in 2024 that. Corrected corrected the incorrect use of an idiom from the forties. Take a bow. Oh, look at you.
Curtzy. Curtzy. Do your curtsy. I'm officially done. Now I've corrected an old incorrect idiom.
How about that? Guy, Dizzy Dean. Dizzy Dean Got it wrong. Dunn did it wrong. Dizzy Dean, Dunn goofed.
And then you over here Correcting. 2024 going, hey, buddy. 80 years later, you're going, hey, Dizzy Dean. You done did it wrong. Hey.
Listen. It was supposed to be a toothpick all along. Maybe that's why I've gotten all my idioms incorrect all this time. I'm just correcting them subconsciously. Yeah.
I don't think smokes like a fish is the right one. That one always stands out as it might just be wrong. No. No. No.
