Full show transcript:
I've been getting some ads about the Father's Day gift he'll actually want. Okay, alright. What is it?
I'm curious. First one, monogrammed golf clubs. No, nope. Monogrammed golf clubs? Yeah. That's one, that's going to be expensive. Right.
Two, don't care. Right. Nope, that's not the gift I really want. Second one, like a treat charcuterie thing. Like a snackle box. Yeah.
No. And it's got all kinds of delicious treats in it. Look, that's a nice thought. But that's fine. Okay. A, let's see what else do they have? A meat thermometer. Okay, hold on now.
Oh. Listen, when I tell you, if I get the smoker that I want for the outdoor kitchen, I want to get one of those wifi meat thermometers so that I can leave the meat in there doing its thing, but I can monitor its temperature and doneness from the outside. That's a thing I definitely am interested in. But I don't have the smoker part yet. How about a grilling apron?
Okay. Listen, one of my wants is that really nice apron. They're very expensive. They are very expensive.
But I would, I do want one of those. All right, let me make some notes. Don't make notes. I'm just telling you, these are things that I think would be cool to have. Okay.
So far two for my outdoor kitchen. How about a massage gun? I have one. Okay.
I have that. How about a rechargeable lantern? No.
How about a National Park scratch off map? No. Okay. How about a portable charger?
Have it. How about some smart lights? What are those?
Like, oh, I like the ones that are color changing stuff. I got plenty of that. Okay. How about a, let's see, what else we got here?
A handheld milk frother? No. Okay. How about a t-shirt that says? No.
I can already tell you, no. A t-shirt that says number one dad. World's best dad.
Or something that's even cooler. Like my dad is the best because he has me. Or I wish I was as awesome as my dad. No, no, no. Okay. I mean, the headline said Father State gives you actually once. I'm still waiting.
So far you've had a couple. That's it. That's it? That's all I got.
Yeah. No lumber? No. Do you want lumber?
Yes. I have so many lumber projects. I want to build the covered area for the cooking kitchen outdoor. I want to build the wood for the privacy wall. Like I've got, I need lumber. I need wood. What about tools?
Hold on. I don't have a sawzall. I would like a cordless sawzall. Okay. I'm making notes. Okay.
Cordless sawzall. Right. Okay.
I need new batteries for my impact driver. I don't even know. I know.
I'm just telling you. These are things that I can actually use. I got lumber and apron. Sawzall. Smoker.
Smoker. Yeah. I said that. You didn't. Lumber, smoker, sawzall, apron.
Right. And meat thermometer to go with the smoker. How about a personalized cutting board? The only reason I'm kind of into it is because my outdoor kitchen is going to need a cutting board. So if it was personalized, I wouldn't be upset.
I get not top of the list because I need the rest of the kitchen first. Okay. All right. I got some notes. Okay. Doesn't mean any of that's going to happen.
No, I get it. I made a list. Doesn't mean I'm even going to remember where I put the list. All right. Fair. Let me put it in my special filing cabinet.
Oh, you threw it away. Let's start today's show. Okay. Hey. Hi.
Hi. Hey, don't have a big sneezing fit when you ride your motorcycle and you're in a helmet. I don't ride a motorcycle.
So good news. Well, you ride on the back of mine sometimes and you have a helmet because I always wear a helmet. I know you want to look cool, but you look real cool in a helmet. I do look cool in a helmet. You do. Let me tell you that it just squeezes my cheeks so much that it looks like a puffy chipmunk.
It's my favorite. But if you're going to be riding one to work, try not to have a sneezing fit inside your helmet. Yeah, you got off your bike this morning and I went, what happened? You look cold. And I was warmer today than yesterday, but a man was I having a sneezing fit. It was crazy. These are the days where I get in and I go, oh, I have to put on my seat warmer and my heat.
And then by the time I leave, I go air conditioning. Yeah. And a matter of transitional point. Four hours.
I get that. I will tell you yesterday I went to get gas. Seven bucks. That's why you've been riding your motorcycle. Seven dollars.
Compared to a lot more in your truck. Yeah. Like a hundred and something. Yeah. Well, you know, that's how that goes.
But that's why I got the bike, you know, save on the, on the fuel cost. Well, I like it. Yeah. Me too.
Seven dollars. You're having some trouble with it yesterday. Was it running okay today? I'm telling you, the reason it was having an issue yesterday was because I was having a gas. That's not the first time that's happened to you.
And that. Well, what's weird though is the gauge didn't tell me I was empty. It, the little gas gauge on my tank, but when I opened up the tank, I went, yeah, no, there's a, there's a problem here. So I don't know if it was giving me a false reading or what. Check your gas. Well, I did.
My gauge said I had gas. Okay. All right. But I didn't trust it.
So I went to the gas station, but gas and now it runs great. It's an important thing. It's spent seven dollars. Pretty great. How big is your fuel tank? Like a gallon and a half.
You can hold a gallon and a half of fuel. Yeah. Oh, that's why it's so cheap. And then I get like miles and miles and miles and miles and miles and miles.
Seven dollars for a gallon and a half of gas. Now that's a problem. That is a problem. That's a big problem.
Yeah. Now if I could control that, that'd be great. That would be great. Fix that.
Would ya? Well, I'm glad you made it here safely. I always weird when you ride your motorcycle because it's frightening. I'm not necessarily worried about me.
I definitely am very alert and watching everybody else. You know, how many, how many motorcycles did you see on the way to work? One. Just me? No. And the other guy? Yeah.
Two. And we waved. I know I looked.
Did you see? That's fun. I like that. Motorcycle, let's do that.
Yeah. I think everybody that shares similar cars should have a thing. Like how do you do? Like I drive a Volkswagen Golf. So when I see other Golfs, we gotta do Golfs. Golf swing. Yeah.
Safe. How am I gonna do that? It's gonna be my left hand. And how's anybody gonna see it? They're not. They're not. You have to roll it in your window when you see it.
You see one coming and you have to go swoop. No. All right.
Fellow Golf drivers. Hmm. Let's come up with something cool. The swoop? Cooler than the motorcycle riders. Impossible.
It will be cool. Just a few weight. There's a guy in town that I saw. I was riding a motorcycle. I saw him over the weekend. And I think I recognized the guy. But I was like, man, he's, he wasn't wearing a helmet, but he just nice hair. And I went, that guy really puts it on to like ride his bike, right? And then I saw him the next day, I think yesterday or Monday, and he was wearing the exact same thing. And I went, is that his motorcycle outfit? It must be.
It must be. Like every time he's like, I'm taking the bike. He puts on the same outfit. He's got, he's like Ronald McDonald in that old commercial where he opens his closet and it's the same outfit. It might be. Six times.
It might be exactly what's going on. Anyway, all right. Well, hey, good morning. Hey, let's do this Wednesday. Let's get it going.
All right. You ready for some good news? This is a kind of a cool story over the weekend in Sydney, Australia, a 21 year old college student.
His name is Sterling NASA. He went to watch a live concert of La La Land. So it's where they play the movie and they have the orchestra play along with the score, right? Well, during the show, the, during the intermission, the orchestra's keyboard player got sick.
Oh no. And the conductor who was an Oscar winning conductor, he walked out on stage and he literally said to the audience, is there anybody in the house who plays piano and can read music really well? I would raise my hand. You would? Yes. I can. You can though?
I know, but wouldn't that be... Plink, plink. Sterling hesitated. His buddy who he was at the show with pushed his hand into the air. So Sterling ended up on stage behind the keyboard in front of 2,500 people staring at what he described as the most difficult music score he'd ever seen.
No way. The hardest solo came up and Sterling decided, you know what? I'm just going to improvise a jazz solo on the fly because that seems like the right thing to do. And apparently he absolutely crushed it. He saved the entire concert from being canceled. His talent and his bravery in the moment resulted in a standing ovation at the end of the show. And of course, memories of an unexpected triumph that he will have for the rest of his life, which is pretty cool.
Yeah, that's cool. And I would jump to, literally, does anyone know how to play piano and read music really well? You would raise your hand. Yeah, but... Yeah, right. He didn't want to if his friend raised it for him.
Would you be upset if your friend was like, go do it? I don't know. I mean, it's pretty intense, right?
I know. 2,500 people. Spontaneous. You've never seen the sheet music? I don't know. Yeah.
That would be scary for me. Pretty unbelievable. But anyway. But cool.
Yeah, he nailed it. So, way to go. That's some good news. I was informed last night that apparently I need to bring more to the table when it comes to show content. You said in the kitchen as I was cooking, oh, I thought you would have brought that up. And I said, I thought you would have added it to notes to talk about. And you said, listen, like you had planned to have this conversation. Listen, you need to bring some of the stuff to talk about. And I said, it's a 90-10.
Yeah. You bring the 90. And I bring the 10. And I bring the 10. For sure.
Yeah. And we have conversation and we talk about lots of stuff. Most of the time, if there's things we're going to talk about that happen in the house, we both have the story to tell. Okay, but I'm the one who writes it down. That's right. And I'm the one that brings it. Sometimes. Because you're a list maker.
I would like to be surprised by a story that you tell. Right. Like, oh, I noticed this. It's the same as like picture taking. Like every woman wants the man in their life to take more candid photos. Good candid photos of them.
Of them with their kids. I've seen the results of how that goes. You don't have to share it with us. Just take them.
What am I going to do with it? See you every day. I got you locked in the steel trap of my mind. Hey. What's up? I just want you to bring some stories to the table. Well, here's the story. So the reason it came up while I was cooking dinner is because the other day you were cooking dinner. I was working in the garden and you called everybody in to eat. Was this Monday? Yeah.
Monday. And I came in, they were little tostadas kind of, you know, real nice. They were very delicious. And I came in and I looked at the stuff you had laying around. And I saw the name of the thing on the recipe is like a cheesy tostada thing.
Yeah. And I went cheesy tostada. And then I looked at the very last step on the directions when you put the tostadas in the oven to warm them up. You're supposed to put the cheese on them so that there's a cheese that's melted on top of the tostada.
Then you put your stuff on top of that. And you, as I reviewed the recipe, you went, I didn't do that. No kidding. I didn't even see that step. Because you didn't even read it. Well, no, here's what happened. I got close to the end of the mill because I had all the ingredients on the counter and I go, hmm, I didn't use the cheese. What am I supposed to do with the cheese? And so then I read, I just quickly scanned the menu or the recipe and it said something about cheese. But I was like, I don't even remember what I saw. But I was like, oh, let's put it on top.
That's what we did. I mean, the cheese is there. Look, a taco, a tostada, a burrito, it's all the same ingredients in a different order.
Like that's all. So, I mean, the flavor wasn't any different, really. But it would have probably helped hold things on the tostada. I had no problem holding things on my tostada. You know, what's funny is we've made tostadas before, but it's been years and years and years.
When Beck went to make his, he said, what is this? I said, it's a tostada. What am I supposed to do? Put the stuff on it. You just hold it in your hand. He goes, how am I supposed to eat it? You hold it in your hand and you just like eat it. Or you could use a fork if you want. He goes, do I make it into like a sandwich?
And I go, if you want. And he wasn't listening when I said that. And so then he sits down at the table and he had a tortilla, like a toasted tortilla on the table. And he's like, I'm going to put it on the bottom, a toasted, his meat.
And then a toasted tortilla on the top. And he holds it and he looks at the rest of us just holding the one. And he goes, am I not supposed to do this? You can do whatever you want. It doesn't matter. And he goes, I don't think this is the right way. It's fantastic. I made huevos rancheros one morning, which they turned out really well.
The boy were the kids not happy. This is an aburrito. No, it's not. It's got beans in it. I could eat that again. That was delicious. I like those. I like those too. Yeah, with the nice runny yolk over the top. So good. Hot sauce. It's good stuff.
It is good stuff. Anyway, it's a fancy toaster. That's a breakfast toaster. The huevos rancheros.
Yeah, it is. I'm on one of those right now. Who's going to bring me huevos rancheros? I'm not cooking right now. I don't know what to tell you.
If I was, I would have hit all the steps. It's not important. The recipe following instructions is not important.
Okay. Did all of the stuff get cooked? I'm going to give you the parts of brownies and go make it. Okay. Okay. Fine. Can do. I'm not measuring anything out. I'm just setting all the ingredients there and you go, yeah, I'll figure this out.
Yeah, I can handle it. The worst pan of brownies you've ever had. You posted a nice picture of me standing in the garden last night. Yes. Finish the greenhouse. You got home.
It was all done. I'd already kind of started stowing stuff away because one of the goals of the greenhouse, in addition to being able to start seed sooner and maybe even extend the season for some of the vegetables as they still continue to ripen. You can move them into the greenhouse and do that. One of the benefits is clearing out all of the garden stuff from the shed so that I can make room because I'm trying to put the kayaks in the shed and that's a big project. Yeah, well, moving a couple of buckets and a couple of... It was actually quite a bit of stuff. Really? Yeah, I cleared off like a whole shelf.
I'm just saying that's not really making room for kayaks. Well, there's still more stuff to go through, but the fact that I cleared off a couple of shelves was a big step, but I've got more work to do. But I think it's going to come together real nice. I just now have to get to the part where I go, everybody out of the shed, everybody out. And then only put back and organize what I'm keeping in there.
I hate that day. But I'm also going to rebuild some different things. I've been trying to decide if I want to move my workbench from the garage into there. So I have more garage space.
Okay. I'm a little torn on it because the ease in which I can grab a screwdriver is real convenient. And the shed gets really, really hot. It's not terrible. Yeah, it is. I went in there yesterday looking for a water gun and it was stifling. Why were you looking for a water gun?
Because... Did you find one? No. Oh. I think we moved him into the garage. They might be in...
I don't... There's a summer bucket that we have, and I think they're in that summer bucket. That's not in the garage. Yes, it is.
Yes, it is. With the bike helmets and the... In that rack? Yeah. Because all of that's pretty organized. Yeah, I know. It's in that.
Are you sure? Because I also have the bucket in the shed that has all of the inflatables, and it might be in that with the tubes and stuff. No, I'm almost positive it's in the bucket in the garage. One of those two spots.
And this is the problem we continually have. Is it in the shed or is it in the garage? Right. So if it's all in the shed, awesome. Here's the benefit of having more garage space.
One, you want to set up the drum kit so you can practice drumming. So that would be a thing. More room for the bikes would be nice. They're a little bit cramped in there. And then I've got my rooftop tent stored in the garage as well. And it just takes up some space. Because I have my gear loft in there for all the camping stuff, because I don't want that out in the shed. So I built that in the garage.
So that's pretty stable. But I just, there's too much going on all the time. Because we have too much stuff. Let's get rid of all of that. It might be that we have too much stuff.
We got too much stuff. But that's the part of the goal, right? Is to get everything out of the shed and go, I don't need to move this back in. Yard sale? Should we have a yard sale? Gross. I hate yard sales.
Gross. I hate it so much. I hate the work. I hate the people looking through my stuff and then going, and so there you want $50, but will you take two?
I hate that. Okay. Well, you posted this picture. The garden looks pretty good.
It does look pretty good. I'm sad about my rhubarb. You can see the sad rhubarb. I'm working on trying to get that. It's the first year for rhubarb.
So I was doing some research this morning about how to get that going. Peas look good. Radishes look good. The pepper garden looks awesome.
The squash arch is going to be really fun once that stuff starts taking hold. I do not have any corn popping up yet. And I'm, I don't know if that's good or bad, but I've sown seed in the potatoes. Like really good. I love how the potato buckets are doing.
I'm super excited about that. The tomatoes are strong. We're going to have some harvest. Yeah, we are.
Which I'm excited about. I used cilantro from the garden when I was cooking last night. That was cool because the cilantro we had in the meal kit was a little tired.
So I went, I'll just go get some new from the garden. Well, look at me. Look at me.
We're going to have so much harvest that someone's going to have to start canning. I'm taking a class. I'm telling you. Yeah, I'm going to learn how to pickle stuff. Okay. I just might be doing it begrudgingly.
That's fine. I'm going to have a good time with it. You will. Yeah, it's going to be cool. I'm just, I'm pretty stoked.
I think it's all coming together real nice. Now I'm working on the area behind the greenhouse up to where the raspberries and blueberries are at. You're doing a lot of work.
You're doing 90% of the work and I'm bringing 10%. Oh, weird. And then you're like, Hey, you need to do more on the show. I'm like, I'm doing more at the house. Yeah, you are. You really are. Hey, it's fun. It's good. And some nice comments in the, in the feed here.
Somebody said, I was trying to see where it went. Grow what you can or will eat and can or freeze for later. That's what Linda had to say, which is good advice. It is good advice. That's good advice. And we're going to have to do that.
Yeah. If you want to chime in, we're just asking you what's your favorite thing to grow. Green beans made the list corn tomatoes, carrots. There's so many, so many great things.
Anyway, go take a look. Farming. You're farming. It is kind of a farm. I feel like it's kind of a little bit of a farm. You have to have animals to have a farm. Do you?
I don't know. I think you have to have animals to have a ranch. No, that's just cattle. Do you have to have animals? Do you have a dog? No, it doesn't count. She's a farm dog.
Does that help? She's not allowed in the garden. That's why there's a fence. So she's not a farm dog. She hangs out outside the farm. She's an outside the farm dog. She stands in the rhubarb. This is why the rhubarb plant is so small and struggling. And I had to move it and build a fence. We're never going to have a farm with animals because I'm not milking anything.
You got to. I'm not shearing anything. I'm not doing it. Nope. Nope. Keep the vegetables only. No, now you've won shaggy cow.
You already know the answer. Saturday, prom. Are we ready? Are you ready? I mean, we're still trying to finalize some outfits.
This is true. Working on that today. Okay. I also last night remembered that was it last year? No, last year was the enchanted forest.
So two years ago was the roaring twenties. That's right. And we did, we were doing some slang. So we were talking about the dowel. Yeah.
We're talking about some of those things. That's right. So this year's theme happens to be the royal regency ball. And so I've been looking at some slang that they used to use in the regency or the ton, as they call it on Bridgerton.
Spell that. The ton. T-O-N. Just the ton.
The ton. That's high society. Are we high society? But of course. If you're high.
The invitation, listen, the invitation says Lord and Lady Tielor. Like it's, it's pretty. Pretty fancy.
It's more fancy. If you're high in the instep, you're pretty arrogant. That dude is high in the instep. High in the instep, man. A man with a good leg is an eligible bachelor. Okay.
Well, there's a man with a good leg. These are weird things to say. All right. Let's see. If you are exquisite or dandy, that means that you're obsessed with fashion and grooming. That checks out. Yeah. I know a few dandies. Do you? Do you? Yep.
Let's see. On the mop means you're going out to party. Oh. So on Saturday we'll be on the mop. What else? I don't know. These aren't as fun as the roaring twenties. Yeah. The twenties. The twenties. That's some crazy stuff. Well, that's fun.
Royal Regency. If you're bacon faced, that means you have a pudgy, greasy or unshaven face. No, that makes sense. I'll have one of those. Or just stow your wits means to be quiet. Yeah. Stow your wits. Hush up.
Stow your wits. Very good. Royal Regency ball. It's going to be a lot of fun. I expect the decor. Our buddy Juan is back to do the decorating. I know it's going to be amazing. Sound and lighting with JD again this year is going to be unreal. I officially will be working on the playlist today, which will be exciting. Yes, that is exciting. We've had some questions about how much Regency era music there is going to be. Great.
Listen, I want to use some of the stuff from the modern songs that are done with strings. The thing that happens in the show. I want to bring some of that in there. I'm trying to figure out how danceable it is and how many to put in.
You and I probably need to do some talking to figure out what's going to be the best. Some practice dancing. Put some on and we'll see how we can dance to it. Perhaps. Okay. I'm game. Maybe we'll get some other folks in the office and we'll set it up.
There's a tic-tac trend with the newest season where they just do that little hop skip thing. We can get the whole office to see if they can do it. Let's do that. Okay.
All right. If you still need tickets, get all the details at klce.com. You can buy your tickets online right there at the website. You can go and get free tickets at several different locations. All around East Idaho. If you go to, I'm just pulling it up right now, klce.com.
You can go to Black Tie Car Wash. It's on the west side of Idaho Falls. You can grab tickets there. You can grab tickets at Mahana Fresh on Utah in Idaho Falls. You can also grab tickets at Closet Revival on Woodruff in Idaho Falls. Now, these places got a limited number of tickets. That's right. We don't know how many they have left. So a quick phone call to them just to make sure.
Sure. And you can grab four tickets per person at those locations. So if you need some tickets, you can grab them there. You can buy them online ahead of time. You can also pay at the door if you want. So there's no reason you can't join us for the 27th annual class of 97 Second Chance Prompt.
That's right. At Snake River Landing at the waterfront on Saturday, 8 p.m. to 11. Get the babysitter. Come and have a night. Dance it away with us. It's going to be a lot of fun. We're getting ready. We'll be ready by the time Saturday rolls around.
We better be. Oh, hey, by the way, if you are not able to get like work or something happens, you can't make the hours that the businesses are open. On Saturday, I'm going to be at the farmer's market. I'll have tickets with me at the farmer's market as well. And just a side note, we are collecting supplies for the Snake River Animal Shelter as well.
So you can drop off pet food and stuff like that to help support Snake River Animal Shelter at our booth at the farmer's market night, oh, fall. So lots of chances to grab your tickets and then we'll see you on Saturday from 8 until 11. There you go.
Be there. What day is it? Wednesday. Wednesday.
Okay. So our daughter has officially been on summer vacation for a week, much like a lot of children in the area. Every parent can relate to this when I say that our daughter has officially said, there's no snacks in the house. There's nothing to eat. I went shopping a week ago and our daughter doesn't necessarily eat meals, but she is a grazer. She will snack all day. She'll make a bowl of fruit. She'll have cereals. She'll have some pretzels. She's a snacker.
A bag of goldfish. I made sure to get a bunch of snacks and preps for summer vacation. We still have plenty of snacks.
It's not like she's eating through them all. Let me ask these are the important questions. Are there still muffins? Yes. The little bags? Yes.
So there's still snacks? Correct. Is there goldfish?
Yes. There's still snacks. I know there's still pretzels. There's still pretzels.
I know there's still cherries and fruit in the crisper. Yep. I know that I went into the pantry yesterday to look for a snack and I found plenty of chips. Yes. Like there's a family-sized bag of chips in there.
I know that all exists. We have that queso that she really likes. We have cheese and crackers and salami and pepperoni because she can make herself a little charcuterie. Right. We even have manchego. We have good cheese. I know. So what's the deal?
I have no idea. But she said we're out of snacks. We have nothing to eat. And I went, take a look around. What is she looking for? She's looking for something specific. Something sweet.
Which? She didn't specify what sweet thing. And I said, we got lots of sweets. Take a look at these cookies.
Take a look at these. Don't open the wedding cookies. Those are delicious. She doesn't like our sweets though.
All of the sweets are our sweets. I have the chess men, the pepperage farm chess men. I've got biscoffs in there.
Oh, so good. Don't eat my chess men. Don't eat my biscoffs. Not my airplane cookies. Those are pepperage farm.
Those aren't cheap. Don't eat my chess men. Salted caramel, limited addition. She wouldn't eat them because she said, ew, gross. What is she after? I don't know.
She's so sweet. Like, I don't know. Is it like we're supposed to have candy bars on tap?
I have no idea. Here's the other thing. She has a job and she has a car. I know.
So go to the store. Well, she, for a while, was eating a lot of, well, she said she would eat uncrustables, but we didn't have the good kind of uncrustables. And I said, what kind of uncrustables? And she goes, I like the raspberry ones.
Okay. So I bought a big box of raspberry uncrustables. Guess who's not eating those?
Guess who is eating those? You are. Because I don't want them to go to waste. You're eating them. Yep, I'm eating the uncrustables.
I feel like a child. Eating my uncrustable at lunch. Mmm.
Still frozen in the middle. You don't toast them? How am I going to toast it at work?
I don't know. Do you not have a toaster or a toaster oven? I have a toaster, but you can't put it in a toaster, can you? Why not? I don't know. It's sealed.
Give it a go. The worst that could happen is you spill a bunch of peanut butter and jelly in the toaster and then it burns and stinks. Pretty bad. Pretty bad. Yeah.
It would be. That's a pretty bad worst that could happen. I don't want to clean up a bunch of peanut butter and jelly in the toaster. It probably has a tray that slides out. The crumb tray. I don't care.
So if it gets peanut butter and jelly in it, it's going to ooze down into the dust tray. No, not doing it. No? No way. That's too big of a mess.
It's too high risk. Have you tried the old armpit method? Where you just put it in your armpit for a few minutes? No. I'm trying to help you thaw out that center.
It says that you can put them in a toaster, but smuckers advises against it because it makes for a hot melted feeling and that may cause burns. Okay. So you got to be careful. You got to be careful. I know there's a guy in the office here who was toasting them in the toaster oven, but he put them in too long and always smelled burned. I didn't like that. I've toasted them in the air fryer before and that's pretty good.
That's different. But we don't have an air fryer at work, so I can't. So I put them in my lunch bag in the morning and I go, All right. See you in a couple hours. You got to take it out of your, because you have a cold pack in there.
Yeah. You got to take it out of there and let it sit on the counter for 45 minutes. Just let it sit next to you and stare at you while you're at your desk working. I don't want to eat anymore on crusticles. Then quit eating them.
I want the kids to eat them, who I bought them for. We even have corn dogs in the freezer. We have taquitos. We have taquitos. We have mini pizzas. What is she?
I have so many things. Yesterday she did cook. I go, Did you eat anything today? It looked like she made a breakfast. She had some bait. She made herself some bacon and eggs.
Yeah. Cause she left her dishes in the sink and I went, Come on, kid. It's summer.
Yeah. You're in charge of your own dishes all summer. What three days ago, she said, Can I have some money? I did you fall for that? Yes. You got to quit falling for that.
That's the oldest trick in the book. Can we get this dog? I'll take care of it. I promise. Don't fall for the all do the thing.
I promise. It's a trap every time. It's a trap. Yeah. That's from a Star Wars movie. I know that. It is. Colonel Mustard.
Zanzibar. That's him. Okay. I was thinking about this last night.
I don't know what made me think of it. Oh, I was looking at something that said, How big your organs inside your body actually are. Yeah, sure. And it was kind of fascinating, but the appendix is actually a very small. Hang on. I got to find it. Hold on, what are you just scrolling through your phone right now? Yeah.
You just scrolling reels? Is that where this? Yeah.
Okay. So your appendix is roughly the size of your pinky finger. And then it got me thinking about appendicitis. And I remember as a kid, as a teenager, I just heard so many people had appendicitis and so many people were going to the ER. And there was all this talk about like, if your appendix ruptures, you could die.
And now I'm sure it's still a problem. I just don't hear about it as often. Okay.
I did Google it. It is still very common. It affects people. Do people just quit talking about it?
Thousands of people every year. But you hear about it less because it's no longer the automatic surgical emergency it used to be. Oh, advanced diagnostic imaging and non surgical treatments have made it highly manageable and less terrifying. I see. Well, that's good news.
That is good news. Are there any others like that? Because like, when you say that, I immediately think about like, I haven't heard about everybody was getting their tonsils out like all the time. And it seemed like if you got strep throat three times, your tonsils were gone.
That's how it was growing up. Anyway, like now I, I mean, people still get strep throat. I got strep throat too many times. I could seem like every year I was getting strep throat.
Yeah, I was getting strep throat a lot too. What was going on? I don't know. Maybe that's just a thing that runs around elementary schools in the 90s and 80s. It was like, we got a, we got a bunch of strep throat.
Yeah. A appendicitis. But I was always and when, when I went to the doctor's office, this is a weird thing that I remember because I did it all the time. They would have to swab your throat and they'd go, I hated that so much.
We got to cure this. And take a culture and then they would take it downstairs. And there was a guy who was down there in like a science lab with a bunch of machinery and, and Petrie dishes and test tubes and all this kind of stuff and wearing like a white lab coat.
And he was in the basement of the doctor's office and you would go sit there and wait for your culture in his cool laboratory behind like a banker's wall. And you're like, Oh, I hope my results come back negative. And he'd go, that, it's a positive. And you'd go, cool. And then the doctor would go, here's your prescription for that pink liquid. Yeah, a moxacillin. Here's your pink liquid.
Go take that. I actually thought a moxacillin tasted good. And then you'd get it and it'd come with that weird little tube spoon.
Yep. And he'd pour it into the tube spoon. I can taste that stuff right now.
I know I liked it. I was like, please stay positive so I can have that medicine. My pink medicine. Remember you used to have, I don't know, still making that pink medicine. Used to get sore throats a lot. And then you had that chloroceptics. I never had that.
Nope. It was horrible. Was it the numbing thing? Yeah. No.
No. But pink medicine. I remember that. I did too. Me too.
Yeah. And my pediatrician, why did he have a lab guy in the basement? I don't know. I didn't have that.
That crazy. Did you really go to the basement? I did not. It was downstairs in his lab. I passed out one time there.
That was fun. I had gone to the doctor, we were checking out and then I woke up. What happened to you? I straight fell back.
Just boom. Well, they had those cool file walls with the wheel thing that would move the whole wall of files. You know what I'm talking about?
No. So, oh, they were cool. Like when they kept non-digital, like when they had file folders for every patient, they had these huge bookcases that were on rails and they would spin the thing at the end and they could move the walls so you could take up less space. Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah. I get what you're talking about. And I was standing there and I was looking down the aisle that they had and I was looking at all the little letters on the folders and I just fell straight backwards.
Oh my gosh. How old were you? Not old. I was at the pediatrician. You have fainted a lot in your years.
Yeah. I haven't fainted once. I'm like that goat. You're like a fainting goat. Yeah. Don't scare him. Tread lightly.
His legs go stiff and he just falls down. Do you still have your appendix? I think I still have every part of me. Yeah. Even your tonsils?
Yes, ma'am. Even your wisdom teeth? No, I don't have those. But you don't have every part of you.
That's right. I do not have those. I still have my appendix too. I kind of wanted to have appendicitis because you heard about it so often and it was like a big thing. Like when somebody went to the doctor, they were like, you just wanted attention.
That was, yeah, kind of. You didn't want to have appendicitis. No, I didn't actually. You just wanted people to be like, get well soon. Here's a balloon. Exactly. Settle down. Somebody pay attention to me. Send me flowers.
I'm the baby. I have a group chat with a couple of my friends and yesterday one of my friends randomly texted, I want a gooey, slightly underbaked brownie. That sounds nice. And I said, yeah, me too.
Yeah, sounds good. And then my other friend said, yes, but I want mine full of nuts because I like nuts in my brownie. You've ruined a brownie. And I said, I want that too, but I never get to eat them in my brownie because Josh hates nuts in the brownies.
That's right. And then the question was asked if you could eat one nut to eat for the rest of your life, which one would it be? And I said, cashews. Cashew or peanut?
Those are the top two. Macadamia. And then I said, nope, pine.
Nope. Pistachio. I can't decide. There's so many nuts. I like all nuts. I am not, give me all of them. I will eat all of them. Well, I think cashew is probably top of the list.
And I'll tell you why. Great for snacking. Cashew or peanut, did you say cashew? Cashew. And an ice cream with caramel.
It's so versatile. Man, do I like vanilla caramel cashew ice cream? Yeah. Yum. Cashew nut chicken, so good. You should try pecans. No. And have a pecan pie.
Nope. Delicious. I'll tell you the nut that I don't care for so much. I will still eat it if it's in a mix nut. Walnut. Nope.
I like walnuts. Brazil. Oh.
I don't care for Brazil. Yeah. No. Some are they real dry. Yeah.
And they're the big ones. Your whole tongue goes, yeah. Yeah, I'm not a fan of that. You do like a pine nut. I love pine nut. You like a hazelnut.
I love hazelnuts. I don't mind an almond. Almond's probably third on my list. Almond's are probably. It's a real close tie between cashew and peanut, but I like, I could eat cashews more. Peanut is actually a legume. Legume. Cashew, peanut, almond. That's my top three.
Seriously? Almond is so far down on the list for me, and so is a peanut. I like almond extract. I think it's delicious. Me too.
I like honey nut Cheerios have almonds. Yeah. I like that.
Yeah. I don't mind a toasted almond. I can handle an almond.
Cashew, peanut, almond. Top three. No way. My top three.
I already told you. Cashew, macadamia, pine, pistachio. But cashew, that's too far. You went top five.
No. But cashew's top of your list. I don't know what's top of my list because I like all of them equally. Those are all number one. You didn't even have peanut in the list.
No. Peanut is so far down on the list. It's a legume.
I don't even care about it. That's delicious. And peanut butter, good. But have you had almond butter? Yeah.
Have you had cashew butter? Yeah. Yeah, good. I know. That's why they're in my top three. But peanut butter is pretty good.
Yeah. Unless it's sweaty. I don't like a sweaty peanut butter. Like Reese's, no thank you. Don't want your cups. Keep them. You have sweaty peanut butter.
Don't like it. And then I'll eat a macadamia nut in a cookie like that raspberry white chocolate macadamia nut situation. That's a good cookie.
But that's it. I wouldn't just grab macadamia nut. No, I will.
Go for it. Jordan almond. How do you feel about that? Good. Delicious. Peanut M &M. I'll tell you. Best peanut or best M &M, I mean. Well, yeah, because M &Ms are gross. But peanut M &Ms are great. They're fine.
They're just fine. Have you had those? They have those bags at Costco. They have the coconut chocolate almonds. I can't buy those. I'll eat the whole bag. And then they have the lemon cello ones.
Can't buy them. I'll eat the whole bag. I eat them so much that they stopped tasting good, but I'm still like, I'll have a couple more. You need to learn self-control. I know. Somehow, some way. You just, you got to gain control of your own body.
I don't know what it's going to take. Josh, when is my birthday? May 2nd. May. My birth month is May.
Yes. There's a new study that found the best kissers were born in January, March, May, June, October, and November. And they skipped a month. What did they skip? February. The month of Valentine's Day.
I don't think they did. The Pisces, the fish, known for kissy lips. They said people born in these months may be perceived as more affectionate, confident, and emotionally expressive in relationships. You buy into that? Oh, of course I do.
Are you crazy? Because it includes you. That's why. Because, oh, I'm part of that. I am part of that. That's truth.
Because I'm part of it. They said the findings are meant to be fun rather than definitive, but they also highlight personality traits that can influence romantic chemistry. So if you were born in January, March, May, June, October, November, or February, or any of the other months that didn't get listed, you were one of the best kissers. Just take a poll of all the dudes I've kissed.
They'll tell you. I don't want to do that. Plus, it's two. There's more than that. Okay. Rude. Whatever.
Why is that rude? It's fine. I'm not mad about it being a smaller number. That's fine with me.
Okay, hold on. Because this has January, so we're missing February. That's why I said they just left out February. You named 11 months just not February. April, July. So June, February, and June.
Go ahead. August. Is listed? No. September and December. Yeah. That's why I said, if you're in any of those other months, you're just fine.
If you were born in February, April, July, August, September, or December, sorry to say. I don't know what the research is. I don't know what the experiments... It's bogus. They didn't check with every person.
They can't make that. It's made up. It's not real science. No, it is not real science. I told you, it's not supposed to be a definitive research. I just, Jesus, I'm fishing for a compliment.
Yeah, I know. Tell me I'm good at something. Anything. I'm included in Best Kissers list. Yes. Array for me.
Meanwhile, I'm excluded and I feel the entire opposite thing where I go, I'm a fine kisser, I think. Fine. Yeah. Yeah, fine. Whoa. I've been putting off wearing sandals because I need a foot remodel. What? I need a pedicure.
I need some serious... Foot remod. Yeah, I need some serious feet care.
Okay. And I haven't had... What does that mean? It sounds like you got like, like vicious dogs. What is a foot remodel in tail? I mean, I don't know. They are a little vicious. Vicious dogs. They got some bark. Okay.
Like rough outside, like a tree bark. Yeah. Yeah.
I didn't have time and I wanted to wear sandals this morning and so I quickly grabbed some nail polish. Yeah. You said here, can you open this? Yeah. And I said, in here because it stinks. Yeah. And you said, yeah, I gotta paint my toes. They look terrible.
They do look terrible. And then not three seconds later, did you go, oh man. Did you get it on your toe? And you said, yeah, because I have tiny toenails. I do have tiny toenails. Like your pinky toe doesn't even have it. It doesn't exist.
It's a... There are some really funny TikToks and reels and stuff of people painting a toenail onto their baby toe because they have no toenail. I mean, that's good. And what I have to do, I really, even the rest of my toes, aside from my big toe, it's just like one little dab with the brush.
And then it's like, well, guess that one's done. So you're saying we're not spending a lot on nail polish then? Sure are not. Because one bottle lasts your lifetime. It does.
Nice. Unless I do like six coats. Do you, how many coats do you do? Usually just like a couple.
Okay. But yeah, it took, it didn't take very long because it's a quick dab and all five toenails are done. Ten, all 10 toenails. You only did one foot. Oh no. I should probably measure my toenail. Why?
I just want to see. You're going to need a special caliper. It's so small. What do the TikTokers do with their small toenails? They paint a whole toenail on there over the top of their tiny little non-existent toenail. I mean, I did get a little bit on my toe itself because... No way.
You can't not. You need a tinier brush. I just need a bigger toenail.
Figure that out. Or a tinier brush that they actually make. Isn't that fascinating? That's such a fascinating part of our genetics that some of us end up with bigger toenails. Isn't that neat how everyone's unique? But especially when it comes to toenails. Oh, especially. Okay. Well... What are you typing?
I was going to say... What are you looking up? How to put a bigger toenail on your tiny toe? I was looking up to genetics of tiny toenails. Okay. And it's... You're going to get a bunch of DNA science right now?
What do you... The size of your fingers, just like the size of your fingers, the size and shape of your nail beds are largely hereditary. Yeah. If you have a tiny or microscopic or seemingly absent nail on the pinky toe... Yeah.
What does it mean? It's because the toe itself is curved or tucked slightly under the adjacent toe, making it difficult for the nail to grow out. Stretch your toes out. I can't. Well... Yeah. It curves underneath that other... Oh, man. My nail bed didn't... My nail plate didn't grow properly.
Oh, no. What can you do about it? Nothing. Can you like hook your toe to the outside of a shoe or to the big toe on your other foot or something? How are you going to fix that? I don't think you can.
I think it is what it is. Bummer, dude. I know, dude. Sorry about your tiny doggos. Anybodies dog.
You got your Wawa toes. Smallest dog. They're puppies. My little puppies.
Okay. What is your favorite chicken nugget sauce, your dipping sauce? Kind of a toss up between honey mustard and barbecue. Mmm. It's a lot of food going on on the show today. We always talk about food.
I know. It's like we starve all morning. No one ever makes me breakfast. I just have to go to work. And then lunch.
I get to eat lunch. But anyway, yeah, that's probably my top two. Honey mustard and then a barbecue. Yeah, one or the other, but, you know, not like I've seen people use ketchup and I hate it.
It's gross. I just saw something the other day that, you know, how if you go to a like a diner and they have the Heinz ketchup bottle and then it's full of Heinz ketchup. And then when it runs out, the restaurants will buy a cheaper ketchup, but the color is off. And so Heinz put a label on their bottle that said, Hey, we're known for our famous red coloring. So they have the red coloring label. And they said, if the ketchup doesn't match this color label, you know, it's not Heinz. And I went, wow, ketchup. Do you know, uh, Victor who does the morning show on K-Bear, he loves ketchup.
Does he really? He loves ketchup. And I told him, I said, ketchup's disgusting. And he goes, you're disgusting. And we had this whole, you know, conversation. And I said, do you know how much sugar is in ketchup?
Do you have any idea? You've told me once, because this is your main argument when you talk about ketchup. My main argument is that everything ketchup touches, turns to ketchup and all you can taste is ketchup. And I don't care for that. I don't like it. I like tomatoes. I like red pasta sauces. Ketchup is neither of those things. So, okay, barbecue sauce has a little bit of ketchup ingredients in it. It depends on which kind of barbecue sauce you're getting.
And that was why I was going to say it's honey mustard's pretty consistent. Hang on just a second. Okay, I just had to hit finish typing that. But the, the barbecue sauce that I like is more of a mustardy vinegar based barbecue sauce. Like if I had to choose, you can't get a lot of those in this area. A lot of the sauces around here are a ketchup base or a, you know, they're a sweet barbecue sauce. A lot of them. But, but there are some very good vinegar based barbecue sauces that are very nice.
I like those. In one tablespoon of ketchup, there is one teaspoon of sugar. So in a real world serving, if you were to use three tablespoons of ketchup, which is a real serving, you get 12 grams of sugar. That's a lot of sugar.
It's so much. There is four grams of added sugar per tablespoon, which is just 25% of the bottle is sugar. You want to talk about sugar.
My favorite dipping sauce is sweet and sour. Yeah. Now that is, talk about some sugar. How much sugar is in sweet and sour? The whole sweet part. So anyway, I was telling this to, to Victor and I said, dude, you know, like a lot of that is sugar. He went and bought sugar-free ketchup. Sugar-free ketchup. They make it?
Yes, they do. And I wonder what that tastes like. I don't think he complained too much, but it's inconvenient. You have to have it around. So he's going to have like a work bottle and a home bottle and whatever. He loves ketchup. I'm telling you, go look in his upper right desk drawer. You'll be appalled by the amount of ketchup in that drawer. And like ketchup packets. Unreal, the amount of ketchup packets. I don't, I think warm ketchup is gross. Warm ketchup.
Has to be cold. Interesting argument. Why, why is not an argument? It's not an argument.
It's an observation. Warm ketchup. You brush your teeth with warm water, but you don't like warm ketchup.
How is that even comparable? Both warm. But warm ketchup. I had warm salsa a few days ago. I was a little bit turned off by it.
Offputting, yeah. It was not good. Why do you have warm salsa? I don't know.
They served it warm. Where? Don't say there.
It was a place. I went to get a taco and I had chips and salsa, and the salsa was warm. So were the chips, which I like the warm chips.
That's fine. Warm chips are great. But the salsa being warm took some getting used to. Oh no.
I was not prepared for that. Tell me after. Don't say on there because we don't want to.
We don't want to. It was a little strange. The salsa tasted great, but it was warm. That's the same with ketchup though. It tastes like ketchup, but it's like.
No, it's gross. It's warm. It's gross cold. It's gross warm.
It's gross room temperature. When you go to buy condiments and you get that multi-pack, what's in it? Two ketchups.
Two ketchups. Why? Gross. Because people use a lot of ketchup. One mustard, one relish, two ketchups. And the relish will last you for five years. Right.
It's crazy. That's too much relish. It's too much ketchup.
Okay. Well, now we know your favorite nugget sauce. I also don't like sweet pickles, if you want to know.
I didn't want to know. I'm becoming more into green olives, however, which feels like an old man thing. Like my palate's adjusting where I go, actually, don't mind a green olive. I don't mind the meat there. A green olive stuffed with a garlic is nice. So good.
Yeah. Or a jalapeno. They have jalapeno stuffed green olives too. Okay. Mm. Delicious.
More food. We've done. Yeah, we've talked a lot about food. There's no treats in the house. There's no food in this office. Can't just go have ketchup. Ketchup. Ketchup. Ketchup packet.
No. Would you rather this or that? Would you rather stick to every surface or be magnetized to every person that you come across? Surfaces it is. Like you have to peel yourself off every surface that you touch.
Fine. If you lean against a wall, you have to peel yourself off. If you sit down, peel yourself off. Fine.
And it always leaves a little bit of a residue. I guess so. You don't want to be magnetized to people?
Nope. I don't want to have people magnetized to me. I don't want to have that.
Why? I like space. I like space too. Have you ever... I struggle with a close talker. I do too.
That was just going to say, have you ever tried to talk to somebody and you tried to scoot back and they just scoot forward? I don't know. I need. Please back up. Maybe you did not see my invisible bubble, but it is there. And if I'm holding my hands out in front of me and you're in that bubble, you're too close.
That's what I should start doing. If people are too close, just hold my hands out and be like, hmm. Too close. Much too close.
Too close. Take a step back, please. You take a step back and I'll take a step back and then maybe we'll be at proper distance. There are people who walk next to you too and they get real close when they're walking next to you and I go, I too close.
Our shoulders shouldn't be brushing. You're accidentally holding my hand. You know, I'm picking surfaces. Are you picking surfaces too? It sounds like you're picking surfaces. It's a better choice.
Would you rather this or that? This story is my absolute nightmare. This happened in Brazil. Oh, I didn't know if this was going to be a dream that you had. No, no, no. No, no. Okay. Let me guess.
In Brazil, a giant sinkhole. Kind of. Kind of. Kind of. But okay.
Not so much, but close. There was a giant sinkhole I saw yesterday that opened up somewhere and it goes hundreds of feet down. Scary. I know. Okay.
This woman was walking in Brazil, just walking along on the street. Okay. And she stepped on a manhole cover.
Oh. And it was loose. And she fell in. And she fell in. Sinkhole.
Yeah, that's why I said kind of. How far did she fall down? I don't know. Because I don't know how deep those are.
Like, look, I'm a big Ninja Turtles fan. So I feel like my imagination tells me there's a lot of space down there. Well, I don't know how far she fell, but she said she thought she was going to die because the water was hitting her chest and the hole was very deep. That's terrifying. So she didn't know if she could touch the ground?
I don't know the answer to that. But I. Whoa. These things in Brazil generally range between five and 10 feet deep. Dude, that's terrifying. Can you even?
Yeah, it says, depending on the topography, many trunk lines, the large underground drainage system, some of those can plunge 10 feet or deeper. Oh, dude. Yeah. That's so, that's so scary. It is.
We walk on streets sometimes on sidewalks. Dude, that looks, I'm just watching the video. First of all, it looks like a comic because the whole thing flips over. And then it's just upside down covering the hole, which is very comical. That looks incredibly painful because the way that flips up and then she slams onto it with her arms, that looks insanely painful.
I know. We walk on sidewalks and they have sometimes they have those openings where delivery drivers can like deliver. I don't even know if they still use them. I don't think they do either. I know they do in larger cities.
Yeah, I've never seen them open. It doesn't matter. I like to stomp on them. I don't. It stresses you out.
It does because I don't know if they've been latched properly. I don't want to fall in those. Now I'll walk around.
You do every time. Our old dog that passed away a couple of years ago, she would go around. Yeah, she's smart. I took a lesson from her. She's like, I don't trust those.
Like, I don't need their pup. I do. I like walking on them. And then I'll stomp and it really freaks you out.
You're like, what doing that? I'm not going to save you if you fall in. Yes, you will. No, that you're too risky. Danger's my middle name. See how yours is avoids danger. And I literally stomp on danger. Oh, you're such a rebel.
That's right. Stomp on danger. I'm a bad boy.
Watch out. Yeah. Right.
A motorcycle stomp on closed doors. Whoa. Wow. Well, I think we should wrap up the show. All right, sounds good to me. Have a great rest of your Wednesday. We'll be back tomorrow, one day closer to the weekend, one day closer to the second chance prom. It's coming up on Saturday. KLCE.com to get all the ticket information. And then we'll see you on Saturday.
The waterfront. It's going to be fun. And we'll see you tomorrow.
Yeah, we'll be back for another show tomorrow. Have a good day. See you. Bye.
