Full show transcript:
Guess how many times the Beatles mentioned a walrus? Once. No.
No? They've mentioned a walrus. I am the walrus. That's one. Cuckoo cuckoo. There's others. That's the only one I know of.
I don't know. I want to be under the sea in an octopus's garden. That's not a walrus. But that's all like around yellow submarine, sergeant pepper's time when they were really into the walrus thing. They mentioned a walrus in three songs.
Really? Glass onion, come together, and I am the walrus. And come together. I know. I don't know. I don't know.
We're going to have to look at the lyrics. Interesting. Yeah, look that up because I don't know when in, because come together is an older one. Let's see. Maybe it's not an older one.
Maybe it's... He got bag production. He got walrus gum boot. He got, yeah. He got banditana. He got walrus gum boot. What's walrus gum boot? I don't know.
Can we spend a minute? He says he won spinal cracker. He got feet down below his knee. Yeah. I think you got a little off on the rhythm on that. I know. I did. But we'll let that slide.
I did. He got feet down below his knee. He got juju eyeball.
He got juju eyeball. Yeah, this is just nonsense. You know who writes this?
The Beatles when there's a bunch of psychedelics. That's who writes this. Yeah. He got juju gum ball eyeballs. Because juju bees are like gummy bears, right? So they're like a gummy candy. So juju eyeballs is gummy eyeballs. That's gross.
Here it is too. He got muddy water. He won mojo filter. Yeah. Beatles.
Ew, crazy. So that was 1969, is when Come Together came out. Beatles be crazy.
Yeah. And then we look at them and go, they're amazing. What lyrical geniuses. The Beatles are amazing musicians. I don't think we can use a psychedelic infused song. Did you know this was on Abbey Road.
They call that song specifically Swamp Rock. Come Together? Check out. Yeah. Yeah.
That checks out. Yeah. And then that was popularly covered by Aerosmith.
Right. Who else did good covers of that? Anybody do good covers of it that you know of?
Not that I know of. Okay. Well, Ike and Tina Turner apparently did it. Really?
In 1970, like the next year. Really? Yeah.
Oh, and look, the band Godsmack did it in 2012. Neat. So that one mentions Walrus.
What was the other one? Swamp Rock. Swamp Rock. Swamp.
What other one did you mention? Glass Onion. Glass Onion. Do I even know that song? I don't know.
Glass Onion by the Beatles. Interesting. Okay. Came out in 1968. And then when did I Am the Walrus come out?
I don't know. I Am the Walrus came out in 1967. So they had 67, 68 and 69. They did three different songs that were all about... A Walrus. Yeah.
And I Am the Walrus was in the magical mystery tour movie. Cuckoo, Cachoo and that. What a bunch of weirdos.
Quit being weird. I blame Ringo Starr for the Walrus thing. I feel like that was his contribution. Because he sat back on that drum set with that little mustache thinking up things.
And then went, I want to hear a song about a Walrus. And Juju. And Juju eyeballs.
Juju eyeballs. Yeah. And they were like, no.
I can't think of anything else. He got feet down below his knees. And they were like, you're right, Ringo, he does. We should put it in there. We can't think of anything else. Print it. And record it. Let's lay that down in vinyl.
We got a hit. Well, should we start the show then? All right. There are no Walruses in this show. No, until now. Well, except for what we've talked about so far. That's right.
But after this, no more Walruses. I think. I don't know. There's none. Okay.
Good deal. Monday morning. Oh my gosh. My gosh, you guys. We are here. It is Monday morning. You and I back in the studio live.
Back at it again. That was a three day weekend for you and I. Yeah, I loved it. Did you?
Yeah, did you love it? It didn't feel like a three day weekend. You were busy. You were kind of a go, go, go. Non-stop.
Yeah. And then yesterday, even though I kind of felt like I didn't have a lot going on, I didn't have a lot of time to go out and travel and more traveling. I didn't have a relaxing time. Sorry. It's crazy. I know.
I'm sorry. We'll dive into it a little bit later. But I was busy. It was busy Friday. And then I finally got out of town and then I was busy on Saturday doing what I want to do, but busy all day. And then, yeah, then Sunday. And that went way too fast.
Yeah, I know. Way too fast. Gone in a flash. Yeah.
But hey, good news. We're back in the studio here, ready to go, ready to make a show, ready to have a day. Here we go. What do you say? Oh, I say I just may.
Okay. Sit by the bay. Have some hay. Yeah. The sky is gray.
Sometimes. It looked pretty clear this morning. It was pretty, pretty gray yesterday. Yeah, sure was. Okay. Good stuff. Good stuff this morning.
I mean, real top notch. Three days off. We forgot how to talk. I haven't had a problem. I just forgot. I forgot what to talk about.
No, we got, I got lots of stuff to talk about. Excellent. Excellent. Well, I'm excited. Let's dive in. We're here. Good morning.
Hi. You're going on. I was going to do a splash. Oh, diving in.
Cause you said let's dive in. Yeah. I like it. I like it.
Cambell. You've been doing radio for a long time, but it's all fairly new to me. So when I learn things, I go, oh, okay. This is what we got to do for radio.
What'd you learn? Oh, I was just reading that it said something that if your listeners aren't talking back at the radio, you're doing radio wrong. Oh, interesting. See, and that's a, that's an interesting thing that you would never know about.
It says the audience should be like, even if they think it's dumb, they should be like rolling their eyes or being like, come on. Yeah. Yeah. You want to, that's active listening. If you, if you can captivate somebody enough to have them in their vehicle or wherever they're listening at home or, you know, in their earbuds on the podcast, whatever it is, if you can have them captivated enough to go, no, and disagree or go, no, Chantel's got a point. Maybe Josh should be quiet. And that's what we'll hear from people.
We will be like, they'll be like, no, what you said was, was crazy or whatever. I'm like, no, I have to be with Josh on this one. Um, occasionally. Or when I say, we already talked about this and you go, no, I don't think we have. That's different active listening.
I know people are like, no, you, she did talk about that. Right. You're wrong, Josh. You did talk about it already. Sometimes. Maybe I just thought it was a good enough conversation to talk about twice.
Maybe, maybe Josh. But this says, yes, you try to imagine your listener. Imagine. Shouting out an answer or debating me.
And we have friends at Chai Man. If we can't remember the name of a movie we're talking about or the name of a song. We'll get a text message in the middle of a convo.
They'd be like, oh, hey guys, duh, it's this, or we'll have callers call and then they'll say, oh, you were talking about this. Right. And that's, maybe we're doing something, right? Well, do you not think we're doing things the right way? Oh, I never think I'm doing things the right way.
The right way or like to a different quality, to a good enough quality. Probably that. Well, you should stop that. Okay.
Done. Yeah, right. Stop. Consider it stopped. Okay.
Cause I've just met you. Is that how you work? Yeah. Come on. Come on, you. No, listen. I think it's important that you always want to try and do better.
Right. I don't know if there's ever going to be a time when somebody goes, yeah, I'm at point peak. I'm never going to get better than this. There are people like that and they have huge egos and they're unwilling to learn and they think they know everything and you know, whatever it is. And you always have to be learning. Yeah. Always.
Every day I learned something new. I think that's true for any job though. Not just this. But that's what I love about this industry.
It's what I've always loved about this industry is I get to go to school every day and learn something. Sure. I know my way around the room. I can make stuff happen. I can get projects done.
I know what I'm doing. But every single day I learned something new. And I go, I had no idea about that. Some of the stuff, I wish I didn't know. Some of the stuff I go, I don't want to know this because now I have to be responsible for that.
Exactly. I don't want to know that stuff. That's why I don't learn anything.
Is that right? I don't want to be responsible. Yeah. That's why I don't want to learn all the buttons over there. Why? Because then you would sometimes have to sit here and push them. Yeah. You would love the power involved in that green button.
I don't think that I would. The one that makes the next thing happen. Nope.
The one that you can push anytime and just turn off anything I might still have to say. Actually. Yeah. I know.
I said, you'd like the power of that green button. No, because I'd be too afraid of, even when I have to go do commercials, I'm afraid of pushing stuff because I go, what if I go accidentally on air? Well, that room doesn't go on air. Oh, that's right. I didn't know that. So, and you would have to interact with the automation system in order to make it go on air, which you know the button to push there.
You're not accidentally going to hit a drop down and then click on a live button. No, that's too scary. But do you know what I'm saying? I know what you're saying. You would have to make the board, like all the process that you go through, because you do know how to like activate the room.
You would have to do all of that to accidentally go on a live radio. That's not going to happen. Okay. That makes me feel better. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Oh, yeah.
Now, if you walked into the room, I had everything set up in here and you just walked in and turned on a microphone and this board was already activated, then yeah, you could potentially just go live. Oh, scary. Don't do that. I'm not going to do that. And you wouldn't.
I wouldn't. I'm glad we covered this. Well, hopefully, captivating. Hopefully, people are playing along. Yeah. Singing along when I sing along to stuff.
No, that's just you. Kids smarts? They listen.
Oh, yeah. Kids smarts, I bet. Hopefully, people are singing along to kids smarts. Yeah.
People listen along and play. You betcha. You betcha. Yeah. That's a thing. 100%.
Hopefully, when I mess up words, people go, come on. You got it. Yeah. Give me some encouragement. Absolutely.
Patting you on the back when you do a good job. Yeah. It's okay, Chantel. You'll get it. Right. You'll figure out what that word is.
You got it. And then when you do, they go, victory. Good luck, babe.
And sometimes you don't and they go, well, maybe next time. Here's some good news. You've heard of prisons working with animal shelters and taking care of cats or dogs and things like that. Well, in prisons across Ohio, inmates are caring for orphaned and injured animals. It's through a partnership with the Ohio Department of Natural Resources and some prisons created wildlife rehab centers where the prisoners there can help nurse animals back to health. And we're talking about baby raccoons, injured owls, orphaned bunnies, like not your run-of-the-mill animals here, which I think is kind of interesting. So the program is giving both animals and humans a second chance, which is very kind. It's very really wholesome.
I like this. Between January and June of this year at one prison alone, 284 animals were brought in for care. Scott is the guy who coordinates the project. He hopes to be able to help 1,000 animals by the end of the year. They had 284 by mid-year.
Okay. So they've got some work to do. The effort that this program has on the offenders here is quite remarkable is what Scott said. The men who participate in this program get a chance to care for something other than themselves. And you can see the changes in their behavior. They tend to stay out of trouble, away from substance abuse.
They have increased interest to learn more about the animals they care for. Oh, that's so nice. Yeah, which I think is very awesome. And that's really wholesome. I'm really stoked about that program. I think that's really neat.
So way to go, Ohio. Yeah. It's good news. It's what it is.
It is good news. I've set the story yesterday and I saw a really cute pair of shoes and I said, oh, I love these. I'm going to give them. And they were on clearance.
Bonus. I had seen them at a different store. Not on clearance?
Not on clearance. Yeah. The same ones? The same ones. And I saw them at the other store and I went, no. Are you wearing them today?
No, no, no. Because they're red. Yeah. And I have a green shirt on. Oh, can't do that.
No, it looks so Christmas. Okay. All right. So, but I couldn't stop thinking about them after I saw them at the first store and I said, no, I can't get those. I can't get those.
It's too expensive. I just bought a new pair of shoes. I don't need them.
Okay. I have a lot of shoes and I only wear the same pair over and over and over. I don't need these. And then I saw them on clearance and then I went, that's a win. I have to get these. They're on clearance. And if, look, the universe one, you'd have those shoes if they're showing up in two different places and then on clearance. I know.
Yeah. They're like, have these shoes, please. So I carried them around the store, fully intent on buying them. And then I went, no, I don't need these. I really don't need these. So I went to put them back and my daughter, our daughter, fights with me and goes, just get them.
I've, I've been around you when you do this. And I go, no, I don't need them. I really don't need them. Right. And so I went to put them back and she says to me, you are insufferable. Yeah. And I went out.
Yeah. I've been around you during those times where I know that you want the thing, but for some reason you're rat racing in your brain about it. And instead of just getting the thing that would make you happy, you fight with yourself and then you go on. Because I don't need them.
And that is, I understand. But they were on clearance. The universe said, look, dude, you got to get these shoes.
Get the shoes. Do you know what insufferable means? Oh, hard to be around.
Ouch. Is that not what that means? Too extreme to bear. Yeah. Intolerable.
It's hard to be around. Yeah. Yeah. Jeez Louise. In that situation, for sure.
Both you and my daughter think that about me. Listen. You listen. What?
What are you going to say? In that mode, yes. Not all day, every day. We don't go, man, being around you is hard every minute.
It's just when you're doing that because it makes no sense. You've already, no, you walked around with them for an hour and then you went, noom, tongue was so out of it. Just get the shoes. I did just get the shoes.
I know you did and you love them, but you should have worn them. No. Not with a green shirt. Wear a different shirt.
I will. I'll wear them tomorrow. They're cool shoes. They are cool shoes.
I love them a lot. I bet you can run fast in those shoes. As a matter of fact, I can't wait to see how fast you can run in those shoes. I bet you can run real fast.
I bet so. You're gonna be fast in those shoes. I might be slow though.
That's okay because guess what? I'm gonna look real good slow. I'm excited to see because they look like fast shoes. They're red.
They're fast red shoes. I know they are. They are so cool. I love those shoes.
They came with red laces on them, but also with white laces. You were asking last night if you should change them. You didn't?
Emery said not to. She said keep them red. I like them all red. That's kind of cool.
But I kind of think the white laces would look cute too. The cool news is that you can change them later. I know. Yeah.
That is cool news. 25 bucks for those shoes. That's a steal.
I know. That's a steal. You were having an internal turmoil over $25 shoes. Stop it. You're insufferable. To yourself. Don't say someone is insufferable. To yourself. How do you even stand being with yourself?
Ouch. In those moments. Not all every day.
Only when you're like, hmm, hmm. I hope somebody is yelling at you right now. They might be. I hope somebody is yelling at the radio.
Or they might be like, you know, he has got a point. You should have just bought the shoes. You did. I did.
But I hope somebody is going to. Only because our daughter really went, would you stop it? Get the shoes.
Say one nice thing. Oh, I will later. Right now we're talking about this moment in time. Where I'm intolerable.
Too extreme to bear. Yeah. It's a lot when you're like that. You're not like that every minute of every day. You're like that. I don't know.
Twice a year. That's too extreme where I just go, oh, I'm second-guessing what I said. Because you don't need to. You like them. You liked them both times. You saw them.
But did it mean that? You found them on a deal. Do you know how many shoes I have? Do you know that this is your own internal monologue telling you this? And then you go, I don't need them.
That's why. And then you project it out. And you go, I'm just going to go put them back.
I don't need them. It's like Eeyore all of a sudden. Insufferable. I'm just going to go. All right. You see?
I guess. And then you got the shoes and you were happy and you felt good and you think they're cute. And did you try them on? Yeah. Did you do a little toe point? Yeah, I always do that.
Perfect. And then, and see, that's not insufferable. You got to do a shoe dance. Whatever it is you got to do.
That's not insufferable at all. That's very fun. You got to walk around and go. Very hip. Yeah. What did these shoes look like if I do this? Did they have that string tying them together? Yeah. That's annoying. I hate it when that happens. So I was clumping around with one.
Scoot, scoot, scoot. Yeah. Yeah. See? That's all fun and games.
I like all that. And then you carried them around convinced that you were going to get them. When I did go put them back and then I walked around the store and then I went, no, I'm going to go get them. And I went to get them again. And then I, for like a scared moment, I went, what if somebody grabbed them after I put them back?
See? You never should have put them down. I didn't know you even went that far. I did.
Unbelievable. I'm glad you got the $25 shoes. Say one nice thing. I just did. What? When you were doing your toes. That was really cute and fun.
That was very hip. You didn't even know what I did. I did. I just did this. I'm doing it over here. I've seen you do it.
I know what it is. Look at me. Look at my cool shoes.
You did that kind of a thing. I'll wear them tomorrow. I don't have a red shirt. You don't have to match.
Yeah. I'm wearing yellow shoes right now. Bright yellow shoes. But you have a yellow shirt on. Kind of.
It's more of a brown, sandy kind of brown color. No, it works. You work. The clothes you wear don't match.
But they... Yeah. I, this weekend, went on my eighth annual girls... It's not necessarily a girls' trip. It is a girls' trip. I mean, yeah.
But it's not a girls'... Eight years this year? Wow. I thought it'd been about 10. It's eight. It's been eight years.
It's pretty impressive. It is my sister, me, and Emery. Emery is involved because eight years ago she was little. Right. She was eight.
She had to come. Yeah. We do a, what's called a shop hop. Well, yeah. And this is something that exists not just because of you guys. This exists. You just participate. Correct. Yes. And it is different quilt stores around the region, the area. Uh-huh.
Participate in... You just go to these stores and they have games and they have prizes. Let's rewind here. Sure. Because originally, and do they still do the passport thing? Yeah.
Okay. So you get this passport that has the list of all of the shops participating. And then they all have like a quilt block for the theme of the year. Is that a thing? Yeah.
Good job, Josh. I'm just trying to get to the core basis. This year it was an entire row. Okay. That was new. How many shops were involved this year? There were 11 this year. And how many of the 11 did you visit? Six.
Well, that's better than half. Do you still have time to visit the other five? If you turn it, well, there's some of, no, because it ended yesterday or Saturday. I see. It goes for two weeks though. So if we had gone the weekend before, we could have, but there are shops in Wyoming that we never go to. We never hit those. We never complete our passport. I don't know.
It's a long, like it's a big loop. For sure. But that's the point.
But we never turn in our passports. If you get all of them, you win a big, you can enter to win a big grand prize, like a big sewing machine. Wow. If you get, we just found this out the other day.
If you get nine, you can still turn your passport in. We didn't know that. You were close. Well.
Are you going to try to get nine? It's over. I'm saying next year. Oh, maybe.
For the ninth annual, nine on the ninth. Maybe, Josh. I'm saying maybe. It's a challenge. It's a lot of driving. I know a little bit about that.
I'll tell you about that later. It is a lot of driving and it's a lot of shopping. Shop hopping.
Shoppity hoppity. Okay. So do they stamp your passport as you go around? Yeah.
So you go in and they go, hey, are you here for shop hopping? That's fun and cute. Yes. Yes, clean. Okay. That's what you say? Sometimes. Right.
And then our 16 year old goes, oh, stop. Okay. And then you look around their little shop.
Yeah. And they have games. And so you enter to win different games. Door prizes and things.
So, well, sometimes they have, like there was one store that had it, witches hats, had to throw little hooks on witches hats. I didn't win any prizes. You weren't good at throwing?
No. I had an Emory throw for me, but she didn't. She didn't win. And then the, Does she not do her own thing? No.
She doesn't. Do you have to pay to play? Yeah. It's a dollar to get your passport, but.
A whole dollar? Well, she always opts out to not play, but then I always just have her play the games for me if she wants. Oh, I see.
She did get me a coupon for 40% off. What? One place I went.
Thank you. So I got some fabric. Okay. So that was nice. Right.
That was good. Um. And then you do a little overnighter and you guys always eat at the same restaurant when you do the overnight part. Yep. Cool. It is cool. It's a lot of fun. And then I come home and I have all these projects and I feel inspired to do them. And then I just look at them.
Oh, good. I go, I should really get started on doing one of these projects. And then I don't. Well, you're, listen, to be fair, your quilt cutting mat is covered with another project. I know. That's the thing.
Well, okay. So then I found, I found this really cute at one of the stores. I found this really cute. It's like a countdown to Halloween. Like it's a, you know, like a paper chain, but made out of fabric.
And it's so cute. And I go, Emery, do you think that I could get this done before October 1st so that we could. Today's the 29th.
I know. I go, but it's just paper chains, but made out of fabric. I go, do you think I could do this before October 1st so that we could count down to Halloween? And she goes, no. And I go, that's rude. And she goes, remember the overalls mom? And I went, yeah, that's fair. Tell me about the overalls. Oh, the overalls were a couple of years ago, there was a panel, a panel is like, yeah, I know what that is.
Okay. And it had like, it had a little bear. There were little bears that you could cut out and sew the bear and then stuff the bear. And then I think there was a mom and a dad and a baby and you could make clothes for them.
Uh-huh. And I made the bears. I made all of it except for this pair of overalls that were really difficult and I could not figure out how to make the overalls. Okay. And so I just never made the overalls.
Makeup. So apparently she has like kept that in the back of her brain to throw in my face. Hey, remember the booties? Yeah, I do.
I'll do a big throwback. Why are you bringing that up? I'm just telling you, sometimes you don't finish a project. That's all. That project was stupid.
Yeah. And that's why, what happened? I cut it up. Yeah.
With your scissors in a fit of rage went, I'm not doing this project and you threw it away. Cause that's, you know. Normal. It's, it's, it's very Chantel. That's what it is.
You asked me yesterday if I missed you while you were gone all weekend and I gave you an answer and you then were kind of upset. Yeah. How would you like me to have answered the question before I say how I actually answered the question? I know what I said. How would you like me to have answered before I say what I said? You say, I would have liked you to have just said, yeah, I always like having you around. Yeah. So I miss you when you're not there. Okay. But I wanted you to meet it.
Don't pay her to meet. So here's, here's just the way we reconnected after the weekend. To be fair, we were only a part for. I know. And that's what I said. I said, and, and there's more to the whole story that I haven't told you, but here's, here's the deal. You said, did you even miss me? And I said, I don't feel like I had time to miss you. And you were very offended by that. No, I wasn't offended by that. You said, I didn't have time to miss you. And then you said, I had a lot of drive time. Right. And I go, that's not necessarily being busy. No, what I'm saying is that in the 24 hours that we were apart, which is not very long because I saw you on Friday.
Right. And then I saw you Sunday afternoon. It was maybe, I guess it was more than 24 hours.
It was more than 24 hours. Yeah. But just barely. But not, it was not long. It was like Friday night. And then I guess I got home on Saturday. So it was two nights, but I just didn't even, it didn't feel like I'd been away from you that long.
So it wasn't that I didn't listen, I'm going to, I'm going to dig out of this hole one shovel at a time. It's not that I didn't miss you. It's that I just, I had enough going on to keep me busy and other conversation and whatever. And then I had to drive to Pocatello to pick you up. And then I saw you after I couldn't get in touch with you.
I called, got hung up on or whatever happened. And so I was, I was just ready to relax and hang out. And so the whole day was like, blah. And then you went, are you ready to come get me? And I went, sure, let me drive for a while. And then I picked you up and then I saw you because I walked into the store and I went, I don't even know where to find you.
Like, I have no idea where you're at. And you just happened to walk right in front of me, which was very convenient. And I walked up and I said, Hey, answer your phone. And you said, Hey, all excited. And then I was, you know, not equal energy. And then you went, were you even excited to see me?
Did you even miss me? And then I have time. And then am I dug out of this hole yet? It feels like I'm kind of on top of the surface right now. It feels good.
It feels sturdy. It feels like I'm out. So good. It's good to have you back. Thanks.
It is good to be back. I guess. It is.
It's nice. Just match my same energy. That's all. I was not ready to match your energy. I didn't have, it wasn't even that much excitement. I was just like, Hey. Yeah, it was pretty mellow. I was pretty low key. Can't be bothered to see you. I got a lot going on.
Thanks. And then you're like, we're going to have lunch. And I went, all right, let's do that.
Let's try food. See if that helps me out. And?
No, I don't know. Not really. But it's fine.
Wow. I was just a grump. It's not your fault.
You were a grump. I know. After, I just looked it up. There's 45 hours between Friday at 5 p.m. Yeah. When you left and Sunday at 2 p.m. When we reconnected.
So almost 48 hours. We needed more to really miss you. For me to really get into miss you mode. If I would have been stuck at home, it would have been way different. But I was super busy. I was also busy, but. And I had a lot going on Sunday morning.
I was doing chores, watching football. Okay. So sorry.
No, we thought to be sorry about. Continue with your, with your alone time. My, my point is this wasn't long enough. And so when you're like, did you even miss me? Like I went, it's good to have you around, but I didn't miss you. It wasn't, the feeling wasn't miss. I wasn't like, I didn't have an emptiness. Cause I didn't have a chance to.
We checked in regularly. I got it, you know. Yeah. Fire.
Fired. And at one point in both of our weekend travels, we were in the same town. In another state. I know how was I supposed to miss you? We were feet apart. I know we almost passed.
That's what I'm saying. I waved from inside the store. As you drove down the road. You see. Yeah, I see. Yeah.
Did you, I never asked, did you miss me? Not now. No.
Did you miss me? Not now. No. What about then? Did you miss me then? Yeah. A couple of times. Yeah.
Cause guess what? I like having you around. Not now. I dug a different hole. You sure did. I got out of the one, but I. You did not get out of any hole. I dig a tunnel. You've got one foot in each hole. That's a weird place to be. Well, guess what?
You've done this to yourself. I'll figure it out. No, you won't. Somehow, some way. I'll sort this one out. Well, let me catch you up on my weekend. Filled with adventure. Filled with camping and fishing. Too busy to miss your best friend and wife. Filled with, filled with a Friday of errands and running around and packing and preparing and then loading everything up in the truck.
And then picking up my cousin and heading to Utah. There is a thing in Utah called the Utah cutthroat slam. And if you're familiar with baseball terminology, a grand slam is how many points? How many home runs in a grand slam? How many home runs?
Yeah. You hit a home run. How many points do you score? Four points. So in the cutthroat slam, how many fish do you have to catch? Four. Four fish. Ain't that something?
Wow. So this weekend was filled with one mission. Catch four fish. Catch four fish. Simple, right? Easy. Simple and easy.
Easy peasy. Yeah, no big deal. No big deal. Right. Here's the hard part. These four fish have to be native cutthroat species and they have to be caught where they are native in their native streams and creeks and things.
Okay. And rivers and whatnot. And so you have to travel to these areas where these fish exist. You can't just fish anywhere and catch four fish and go, oh, there we go.
Did it. So the Yellowstone cutthroat is the one we caught first. Then we moved on to the Bonneville cutthroat, then the Bear River cutthroat. Now, the end of the day Saturday, and I mean literally the end of the day. We started Saturday morning at 7 a.m. Up and Adam breaking down camp. We were on the water by 8. Fishing. Caught the first fish. We got to load up the trucks and move so we can get to the next place to fish. We caught the last fish, the very last fish. I'm telling you two minutes before the sun went down.
Good job. It was crazy. 634 miles of driving from home down to the three fisheries and back home. Got home around midnight, Sunday morning. And then somebody said, come pick me up. I'm just messing with you.
I'm just messing with you. Tons and tons and tons of time spent behind the wheel driving. Couple hours of fishing, get behind the car for two hours. Get behind the windshield for two hours. And then a couple hours of fishing and more time in the car. A lot of time. Did some investigating.
I think I figured out where to go get the fourth one. Colorado cutthroat. Has to be caught in the Colorado River system in use. We probably could have pulled it off in one day. There are people that will do it in one day with one fly, which is pretty impressive. That's pretty crazy. I think the hardest part about that is the amount of trees that decide to take flies from me because it's absurd.
There's so much dangling jewelry in those trees. Did you see some from people? I contributed some. Oh, but did you see some from other people?
Sometimes that happens. They're so small that you don't. I mean, you'd have to catch the light just right and you'd go, whoa. But no, they're small and they're usually natural colors, so they kind of just blend in usually.
Sometimes there's stuff that's like fluorescent orange or whatever. Anyway, on our way down there, we had planned to stop and get food and we got to Gabon. And then I realized we'd passed all of the food options. And we were thinking that we were probably, yeah, we got to talking. And so we kind of cruised past Pocatello and forgot that we were going to stop and get food.
And the way we had to go, we had to go down through what's it called, a raft river and then drop down in through like Malta and past city of rocks and stuff. There's no food out there. There's nothing out there. That's dead. That's dead land. There's one place to eat in Malta. So we stopped there and Google said they close at nine and we walked in at 855, or 755, sorry, 755. And the lady behind the counter said, pizza oven's off and the grill's off.
And we're like, oh, I'm sorry. Kitchens closed. Like it was that kind of attitude. Like, no, you're not getting food here.
No, she's ready to go home. Right. And and and my cousin, JR, he said, he said, well, the Google said you guys were open until nine and she goes, well, Google's wrong. OK, all right.
Sounds good. Super. The sign outside did, however, say nine. Close it. They close at eight. Oh, OK. It said eight.
Well, even if we didn't look because we just looked at Google to see if they were open and went, oh, good, they're open till nine. So she was like, I can make anything. I don't have to cook. Like if you want a sandwich or, you know, a wrap, I can put any of the sandwich stuff in a wrap. And so we're like, OK, that'd be fine. And so we just made our little order and handed it to her and then went to use the restroom as you have a restroom in here. And she says, car wash next door, blue door. That's what she said. Literally car wash next door, blue door.
OK. So we walked to the car wash next door. Sure enough, blue door. Scariest bathroom I've ever seen in my entire life.
I'm not kidding you. Like I don't know what you expect out of a car wash bathroom, but it's it's this. It's a horror car wash in Malta.
Yeah. Car wash next door, blue door. I'm worried about that bathroom. You know the paper towel dispenser thing with the like you just pull them down like the paper towels, you just pull it and it automatically rips off, whatever. Had one of those. But the roll was laying in a puddle underneath the paper towel dispenser. It was not good.
Oh, no. So I wash my hands and then did the whole. Adulter. Shake them dry thing.
Yeah. And then you got out of there. Oh, I didn't hang out. There was no reason to hang out in there. It's not a good spot.
I don't like that spot. I don't I don't recommend. OK, good to know. Good to. Got our wraps moved along.
Wrap. She said she put extra meat in there because we didn't select enough toppings. So it was pretty heavy on the meat. I wasn't upset. It was fine. It was all good.
She loved having you guys around. Didn't you? Yeah. You know, my buddy Jason, who was with us, he's a chicken strip guy. So he got gas station chicken strips and he just snacked on those the whole weekend.
Gross. We were stopped to get gas in on our way up to Logan in Caysville. And we just made sandwiches in the parking lot and then started talking to people because we had a bunch of like fishing stuff and whatever. And so one of the guys walked up to me, where are you fishing? All over the place.
What do you mean? Where are we fishing? Not in this parking lot. I'm making a sandwich, but he wanted to gab with us for a while. So that was fun. Anyway, all in all, caught three of the four required fish. I've got more work to do to get this thing closed out. Great weekend. A lot of driving.
Tons of driving. But you got some fish. I got the three makes you happy.
Yeah. And I did pretty well. I was pretty excited. That first one was a tiny little guy. It counts. It doesn't matter.
It's a native cutthroat. He was in my hand. I didn't get the net out for that.
He'd fall through the hole. He was so little. But they got bigger after that. You don't have a size requirement for those.
No, it just has to be the right species. OK. Well, past. I know three or four. They've got to finish it up. Good job.
You know, we'll see how that goes in a couple of weeks. But fun adventure. Do recommend. It's hard, but it's a it's a fun. It's a fun little outing. So anyway, if you're into fishing.
Yeah, if you like that and a lot of driving, a lot of driving. I found my Halloween costume and it's one that you are going to love. I sent it to you. I know. You don't love it. I do. I really wish that you had bought it. Was it expensive? I don't know.
I didn't look at the price. What? What were we going to?
Why do you wish that I had bought it? What were you going to go as yourself? Fly fisherman.
It's the easiest costume in the whole wide world. I go as a fly fisherman and you go as a human sized trout. Is it's not a trout?
I don't know what it is. Trouty enough. Yep, it is a fish. It's a fish. Yeah, it is a fish.
I from this picture, it looks like a very large fish. No. A lot of what you call me once.
A large, sturdy, good, strong fish. Does it have arm holes? Yeah, it does.
You just left them tucked in. Yeah, which I think is funnier. I like the. I like it.
So funny. I like it better without the arms. Plus, you could be cozy in there. You could have on a coat.
You you would stay warm all Halloween. I'm trying to find it is a head to toe fish. Yeah, it is.
No, I know. Oh, I can see the price tag. Thirty five bucks. Oh, you can see the price tag. Yep.
OK, here is one with I just sent you the one without the arms sticking out of the arm holes, but there's my arms hanging out. Oh, I see. Yeah, it's better. Well, here's the thing about that one. Look how dumpy it is on your head. And that makes me laugh a lot. I really like that. It's not as dumpy when your arms are in it.
It's so funny. And I already have the other gear. Yeah, you do. So yours would be very easy. Right. I could go get it.
Thirty five dollars. Yeah, but then done Halloween done. You fish me fly fishermen.
Boom. But thirty five dollars for something that I'm going to wear once for a couple of hours. You think you're only wearing that once? Where else am I going to wear that? Everywhere.
I'll wear it with you when I go hang out with you on the river. Yeah. Do you know how funny that would be? Maybe, Josh, that would be good luck. Yeah, the other fish would be like, whoa, look at that fish. I got to get a good look. That guy's really big.
Let's go hang out with that guy too. I think it's hilarious. It is funny. I saw it and immediately went, I got to try that on for dad.
Maybe then that's what you told them. Yeah, I got to try that on. And then I said to myself just now, maybe he'll miss me.
Oh, is that right? That's the only way I get you to notice me. I'm dressed like a fish. If you walked around all sad and mopey in that, like a sad fish just looking down at the ground, kicking like a rock as you walk all slow. Oh, hilarious.
It's so funny. What does it look like on the back? Is it full fish on the back? No, it's like fish belly white.
That makes no sense. Is no, it's not full fish on the back. It should be. It should be.
I agree with you, but it's not. I put it on incorrectly the first time. What does that mean? I don't know. I put it on backwards. Backwards? So the back of your head was showing through the hole? Yeah, I wish. Is that a yes?
But you say what you say. You put it on backwards and the back of your head was looking out the hole. So you were just face with the back of the costume?
What does that mean? You put it on backwards. I don't know how I put it on backwards.
I just know that Emery goes, that's not right. Let me help you. What did you do? I don't know.
Were you trying to put your head through an arm hole? I think so. I don't know. Time out.
What else was I going to say? Oh, I wish there was a way because it's my legs are a little bit longer than the fish body. I wish the fish body was longer because I wish I could tuck my legs and my arms inside of it and just lay there. You can. It's not long enough.
It is. Your legs bend. No, I know, but suck them up. They would be, then that's going to be a bulgy fish. Like a, are you trying to look like a bulgy fish anyway when you're just laying there?
No. What are you trying to look like? Just like a.
Like a bulgy fish laying there. I think it's hilarious. It is funny.
I don't want to spend $35 for it. Okay. It's worth it. Gets my attention. That's all I want.
I know. Maybe I'll post it in the ass. It's so funny. Should I spend $35 on that?
Is this worth 35 bucks? It's so funny. It's pretty funny.
Yeah, I'm a fan. I wonder if there's others online. We can look. All right.
Like maybe there's a mascot fish. Yeah, I know. Speaking your language.
Yeah, I know. What kind of fish do you think that is? Carp.
Is it? Carpideum. It does kind of look like a. I don't know what it is. It's too scaly to be a trout.
Hold it up again. Yeah, I think, and it's got that spiky fin. That's a bass.
Is it? That's a bass. It's a large mouth bass. Yeah, sturdy.
Strong. Just like you called me once. And I meant it.
So I talked earlier about how my sister and daughter and I went on this weekend shopping trip. Right. And we've been doing this for, this is our eighth year that we've done this over this past weekend. And we typically take turns. So if she drives, then I'm in charge of getting us a place to stay. If I drive, she's in charge of getting us a place to stay.
Now, a couple of years ago, it was my turn to get us a place to stay. And it was not a great hotel. Okay, so listen, we picked one that was within a budget and come to find out it had doors on the outside, not inside hallway doors.
Which according to Emery was the worst kind of hotel. Right. But you guys in your paranoia over thought this pretty hard. That you were gonna like move stuff in front of the door so that nobody could get in kind of over thought. It did feel a little sketched that hotel. And it was filthy. The inside of that hotel was filthy. That's fair. Did you complain to the hotel that you just dealt with it?
Yes. We were like, we're just here for one night. Like let's just make the best of it. Okay. And we screened along. And I said, and every year since then, I mean, it's only been two years since then, but every year since then, it's been like a, you didn't get that hotel, did you? So this year, I was in charge of getting the hotel.
That's right. And my sister said, which one did you get? And I said, I don't remember. Okay. I don't remember what I got.
And she goes, which one? And I said, I honestly don't remember. It's in the middle of- Okay. I said, it's in the middle of the downtown. Like it's right where we need to be. It's perfect.
It's like going to be central to where we were, which is where the terrible hotel was. And she said, did you get the bad one again? I said, I don't know. I don't know. I'm like, I'm sure I did.
I'm sure I did not. And she was like, Chantel, which one was it? That's so funny. I fully had her convinced that I got the- That you got the bad one again. She said, if you did, I'm going to get my own. I'm not gonna stay there again.
It says on the sign, it lights up and flickers. The hotel I got was- It was nice. Primo. Yeah. It was awesome. It came with free breakfast. Did you take advantage? No, but I did take advantage. I felt like I totally had some hotel redemption. Oh yeah? Because I don't think she has trusted me to get a hotel since that experience.
Okay. But this one- So did you just pull up? Or did you end up telling her? No, because she goes, I go, I don't know, look at the pictures.
I go, the pictures of the place I got are really nice. And she goes, I think that's the same one. I finally said, now I didn't get that one. I know better. Did you pull up pictures of the other one you showed up?
Yeah, I did. That's so good. That's very good. But it was good. It was a nice one. This was a really nice hotel. And they had cookies.
Okay. And they had- When you checked in or in the room? No, when you check in. And in the lobby just waiting.
And here's what I know to be true about hotels. I feel like I have to take advantage even though I don't want it. Yeah, I know. Oh, free bottle of lotion? Yeah.
It's not even that. I don't want that stuff. But if there's tea, packets of tea, I'm like, yeah, I want that. Like they had a coffee bar in the lobby and I was like, it was eight o'clock at night by the time we got back to our hotel room. And I went, well, I don't want tea right now, but- But it's here. Yeah, I have to make some because I have to get what's owed to me.
Oh, right. I mean, I paid to be here. If it's complimentary with my room, that means I should have it. And we had stopped earlier and we could smell the cookies and we saw that there were like cookie containers that you could get. And I was like, they're making cookies. I know that they have cookies in the lobby. And then when we got there later, there were no cookies. And so I almost demanded cookies.
Like, hey, what? Did you have a cookie at all? No, I didn't have a cookie at all. Oh no. I almost demanded them.
Almost. I deserve to have cookies at this hotel that I paid to be at. Okay. Well, Sag didn't get a cookie. Me too.
I got my free tea though. So that's the important part. Yeah.
Yeah, I didn't even want it. I was full from dinner, but by Jove, I was gonna have that cup of tea. It was complimentary. You better take advantage. Better.
Well, good. I'm glad that, was she comfortable? Did she sleep easy? Did you feel like you had to push stuff up against the door? No, she was like, yeah, you did good.
You did real good. Did you take advantage of the pool and the hot tub? No, but it was a really nice pool. I kind of forgot that there was a pool and a hot tub.
And so I forgot to pack my suit. But I do remember that before in the bad hotel, she didn't even feel, neither one of us wanted to take a shower in the shower because it was so gross. She was like, I think I'm gonna take, I might take a shower tonight and a shower in the morning. It feels so clean.
Whoa, slow down. It was nice. I totally redeemed myself. Way to go. Good job.
My sister is seven years older than me. Is that right? Yeah, I like to say that. Seven years older than you. Oh, okay. My older sister.
Right. Older sister. So as we, as we- Elder sister, your elderly sister? As we were shuffling around at these quilt stores over the weekends, a couple of different times, people would say, oh, are you guys sister? Cause we do look alike.
She's got more wrinkles for sure. Wow. I don't even know what's happening right now, but I'm here for it. Let's go. Go ahead.
And we would say yes. And where are you from? Where are you from? But there was one place we went and she goes, are you guys sisters? And I said, no, this is my mom. I thought my sister was gonna- Do some damage. She did you?
She carries around heavy bags. Like she probably could swat you with that thing. That is so funny. She didn't like that, huh? No, she didn't like that. And she immediately said, no, I'm not. And then the ladies behind the counter started laughing. I said, no, she's not my mom, but she is my older sister. That's great. You can tell because of how much younger I look.
You can tell because of the wrinkles in her forehead. Man. Whoa. I know, I like doing that.
I think it's fun. And I can do that because I'm the baby. Yeah, we know. We know all about you. I'm just the baby. Yikes.
It was fun. She did have, it's funny that you mentioned bags because as we were loading into our hotel, she looked like a bag woman. I know, why is she gotta bring so much stuff?
I have no idea. Every time they would come over and stay at the house, I mean, like three trips from the truck. Like you're here for a weekend, what are you doing? We were just staying the night. Right, what are you doing?
Just one night. And these weren't even bags that she had purchased. I mean, like, you know. It was like stuff she packed. Stuff that she had packed. I don't even know what was in there. 16 coats, four shoe options?
I have no idea. Like make the decision at home on what you're gonna wear and throw it in a backpack. She had at least three bags, large ones that she was carrying. I think we took a picture of that. One of them's all that wrinkle cream, I'm sure. I bet so. She needs it. Holy smokes. You do. Wow. I only say all of this as a joke because she does look younger than me.
As my older sister, she looks younger than me. I don't think so. I do. Okay, well, I don't. That's why it's funny, because I go, she's older, much older. She's a grandma. She is actually a grandma. Yeah. Of two soon to be three.
She's older, she is my older sister. Here's a question I need to ask you. And I kind of already know your answer, but you are now speaking, when I ask you this question, you're speaking for the entire male species.
So it's a burden, but it has to be you. Why? Because we like to eat soup, girls. Me, my sister, Emery, we like to eat soup. And there is a soup place that we like to eat when we go out of town. And we got excited, ready for lunch at 11 o'clock. We were like, oh, we're gonna go have soup. And then we looked at the menu and we already had determined what soup we were gonna eat hours before we were gonna go there. And then we were eating soup and we said, I could buy you this for dinner too. If you guys wanna eat this for dinner, I'd be happy to eat it for dinner. And as we're sitting in the restaurant looking around, it's full of women. It's just women eating there.
No, there was a dad there with his wife and his family. He's a compromiser. Right.
Okay. Why do you guys hate soup so much? Don't hate soup. No one hates soup. Even people that are going, I hate soup. They don't hate soup. Soup is not a meal by itself. At this particular place, you can get a soup and a sandwich.
Fine. But also what's across the parking lot and in and out. Yeah, that's where I'm eating. And guess what I had for dinner before I left Utah, in and out. Gross. And a strawberry shake. I would eat 17 bowls of soup before. I'm not a fan of the fries again.
Totally different in and out. Those fries are consistently not great. I don't like them. I don't like the texture. I don't care for the taste. I don't like the fries. The burger I like and I like the price.
So I'm good with that. And it wasn't a terrible milkshake either. Okay, I will say that the price for two bowls of soup was astronomical.
Yeah. Especially when I go, this is just soup. I know.
You made a big vat of soup. Right. And you're gonna charge me this much for soup?
I know. Seven dollars for a small bowl of soup. I think it was even more than that. Too much. It's too much. It was a little extreme.
That's outrageous. For that soup, yeah. I went soup. You know, I did get a roll.
Oh boy. And a chocolate dip strawberry. You got a three cent roll and a complimentary chocolate dip strawberry. Not expensive.
Thoughtful, not expensive. But it was also delicious. So eating soup for every meal, also known as souping, it's a thing. It's a restrictive diet not recommended by experts because it lacks nutritional diversity. It can lead to deficiencies and is unsustainable for long-term health. Soup can be a healthy way to increase fiber and vegetable intake and it promotes fullness, but its benefits are only realized in a balanced diet. A diet exclusively of soup can cause issues with blood sugar, sodium and potassium and is particularly problematic for individuals with certain health concerns.
Oh no, that's sad. No souping for you. I could go souping every day. I could.
Not to your health. I actually wanted like, you know how they have, they're called flights where you can take like different. A soup flight?
I wanted a soup flight. Where you can try different soups. Yeah, I wanted like four different soups because I didn't know what to pick. Yeah, well you are a soup connoisseur. We did not end up eating soup for dinner much to my dismay. What did you have? Raisin canes.
And you didn't like it? No, raisin canes is chicken in and out. Oh.
That's interesting. And you don't like in and out, so that's your comparison. I like raisin canes, I like in and out.
The only thing good about raisin canes is they're bread, they're toast. I'm pretty good with soup here and there as a side. There's, I would say once a month, I'm good for soup and a sandwich. I could do it every day.
I know you could. Okay, I did say, because I didn't, but I also don't like chicken. And so that's why I don't like raisin canes because I went, I don't like that chicken. Right, you just like breading. Yeah, I said, I'm just gonna get, I'm just gonna get a piece of toast and a side of coleslaw. And then I went, is our coleslaw good? Cause what if their coleslaw is gross? And then I asked if I could taste test the coleslaw. And they said no.
And that embarrassed Emory. Oh, well, you ask the person on the counter, can I taste it before I order a bunch? He goes, well, the side of it's really small and it's like a dollar 40. And I went, yeah, I'll just, I'll just try it. How was it?
It was good. So you had a bread and a thing of slaw and no chicken. No, I did have a thing of chicken.
I got a kids mill chicken. Yeah, that's right. But then I had to dip it in the sauce to not taste it.
Because you don't like meat, you like breading and sauce. Yeah. Yeah. So when you have an opinion about how a burger tastes or how chicken tastes, I should always remember, but you don't like meat. So, yeah. Yeah.
So negate the opinion. What kind of soup did you get? I got the curry soup. That's a good soup. It was so good. That's a very good soup. It's real good. I like a curry, like a curry chicken. Is it real nice soup? It was tough though. Cause I was like, oh, I like tomato and I like that.
Yeah. I like the chicken. I had a tomato basil soup when I was in Denver at the hotel, best tomato soup I've ever had in my life. And I've never been able to find a soup even comparable to that.
I think some pretty good tomato soup. It's not the same. Say one nice thing. I'm not saying anything rude. I'm saying your soup wasn't the same as the best tomato soup I've ever had in my life. I didn't say you make terrible soup. I said your soup was not that soup. My soup was not up to par with that one. I now never taste that again probably. It was a once in a lifetime soup.
Well, now it's my mission to prove you wrong. You're going to find that soup? It was delicious. I'm just going to keep making tomato soup until I get it right.
You just make the same recipe over and over and over. Is it this one? No, it's the same as the last one. That'll get me my soup, won't it? I guess. Again, fine.
A couple of times a month, maybe once or twice. A soup and sandwich for lunch, not a dinner. Soup is not a dinner.
Now, tortilla soup, hearty, sturdy soup. Like it. I like that. That could be a meal.
But you're putting cheese and chips in it. It's a whole thing. Yeah, it's good. That's an experience. Chili is not a soup. It's an experience? Yeah.
Stew, not a soup. That sounds good. Let's wait till it gets a little cold. No, let's roll in the fog. You can't have stew in 90 degree weather. No.
Would you rather this or that? I know it seems a bit early, but I'm going to do it anyway. It's a Halloween one today. Okay. Well, you've been doing some like werewolf fanpire stuff. You've been diving into some things. What? Yeah. Oh, yeah, I guess I have. That's what I'm saying.
This isn't new. Would you rather sleep in a haunted house for one night or eat nothing but candy corn for a week? One night in a haunted house. Okay. That's what I was going to pick too. Well, yeah.
Spoon. Buy myself. Yeah, you have to be by yourself. Okay. It's fine.
What? Let's fall asleep. It's one night.
It's a few hours. I'll be asleep. I'll fall asleep. I'll wake up.
It's done. You would just fall asleep because you don't wake up for noises of any kind. That's not true. So you would just fall asleep. I'll just fall asleep. I'm done. And then I'll wake up and the sun's up and I'll go, great, that was neat.
Move on. And then I'll have my teeth and my health. Even if, yeah, even if I'm too scared to fall asleep, what? I risk a couple of hours of no sleep and then it's over. But what if the rule is you have to sleep five hours?
You can't force somebody to do that. I'm just asking. It's a silly game of would you rather you change the rules all the time? Yeah, because it's my game. So I'm saying the rules are you have to sleep for at least five hours.
Okay. Which means you can't just stay up. Like you have to fall asleep and accumulative five hours.
Okay, fine. Or uninterrupted five hours. Every time you wake up, it starts over. I still go for it because I'm thinking of my stomach ache after a week of just eating candy corn. Ugh, makes me sick thinking about it. I feel sick. Haunted house. Yeah.
For the win. Plus it's just a haunted house. If it's not like an actual like haunted place, even better. You know, I'll sleep like, I'll sleep like a rock.
What if you have to sleep on the gross dirty old abandoned mattress? Oh, I just thought that was part of the deal. I was looking forward to it.
Would you rather this or that? Well, there's a couple of football games tonight. Still yet to happen. What's the story in fantasy? Because you and I are playing against each other this week. What's you don't want? I don't want to talk about it. Because you're not winning. I was winning. And then what happened? I don't know. Your guy decided to come up with a bunch of my guy. Who played last night?
Oh, so many things. Was it Pickens that played last night? Yes.
Give you a ton of points. Yeah, he did 33. That's crazy. And Ferguson got me 17. What's sad is that I have Dak Prescott sitting on my bench who did almost 31 points. Imagine if I had that instead of CJ Stroud.
I know. I had Jared Goff. Guess what he did? Not a good game. Nothing. Not a good game.
No, nothing. But who's your other quarterback? Is JJ McCarthy who's out? You haven't picked up another quarterback yet? No.
Oh, you should probably get on that. I didn't need to do that yet because I had Jared Goff playing who was supposed to be good. Remember when Jared Goff was good? He is good. He just was up against a great defense. The Browns? Yeah, have a great defense.
Do they? Yes, clearly as indicated by Jared Goff's performance. So you and I are head to head. You're not happy that I'm winning. No. What? Because the only person I ever want to beat is you.
I know. If you lose. And I was beating. If you lose to me this week, we are both two and two in the standings, which is exciting.
Is that? I was doing really, really good, Josh. I still have three players to play tonight too. OK. And my chances of beating you, they each have to do, OK, do some math really quick.
Ready? Take 153, which is your score. OK. Subtract 96, which is my score. What is that equal? 153 minus 96. That's 57. OK. Now divide that by three.
19. OK. Each of my players have to score 19 points to tie with you, which is possible. I need Tyree Kill to bomb it. No, I need Tyree Kill to bomb it. You need him to like blow it up. You need Beast Mode Tyree.
Yeah, I know. I also have Cortland Sutton, who I know nothing about. But he could give me some good points. And I also have what's that guy's name?
J.K. Dobbins, who I also know nothing about. OK. So come on, guys.
Come on, guys. Well, if it's any other consolation, I'm doing well in my other league as well. I'm predicted to win there 67 to 33 percent right now. I'm so happy for you. I just I would really like to be two and two.
That's a good place for me to be. I would also like to be two and two, but you're going to take it away from me. No, you will be two and two because you have two wins, one loss. I would like to be three and one.
That's what you were like. But you're going to take that away from me. And keep us at two and two. That's right. I don't want to do that.
I think it's a great idea. Why don't you like it? Because I don't like losing to you. Right now, you are tied for second in the league going into this week, along with there are four of you in the in second place.
I am in a four way tie for sixth going into this week. So it would be good for me to move into a two and two. Oh, yeah, it would be very good. It would be very good for me.
I'd be so happy for you. Yeah. That's all I care about is your happiness. I know. And I appreciate that.
That's a nice thing for you to care about my happiness. What a dumb. I feel like the games this weekend, and I didn't watch any of them because I was busy traveling, but I feel like all of the games were dumb this weekend. The Vikings lost. The Ravens lost to the Chiefs.
In Ireland, by the way, they lost in Ireland. I know. That was an early game. The Ravens lost to the Chiefs. Can you even believe it? The Chiefs who have not won a single game lost to there are won the Ravens. I can't even believe it. And Lamar Jackson has his pulled hamstring.
That's right. He did not return to the game. Have they said that? Uh, I guess he's getting evaluated today. So we won't know until he has further evaluation on whether he's going to return. But you don't have him as a quarterback in your team. No, I don't. But I do like that team and I like him.
And so it makes me sad when they lose to that worst team in the league. Here's what potentially could happen. Lamar Jackson, if he's out for a couple of games, he could get dropped by the guy who has him. And then you could pick him up and just hang on to him as your backup using Jared Goff in the meantime until Lamar comes up. Now that's a strategy. That is a good strategy. If he gets dropped and you get to pick him up.
But if you lose to me this week, it'll be more likely to pick him up if he does get dropped because you'll be, uh, you'll be first in the waivers on Wednesday. See? You couldn't hear that. Fantasy football. Yeah. Your eyes rolled clear out the door like meatballs off a table like the song. It's going to wrap it up for us today. Have a solid, uh, Monday. We'll be back tomorrow.

And so that was kind of funny for me to watch that because I don't know anything. Um, and I've only seen the first one. 19 years ago or whatever, when it came out, it's been a long time. 16 years. I can't remember.

Sometimes they look at you and they go, no, I won't be, uh, eating that today and swim away. This fish is friendly.
All right. Hello, friendly fish. Have a good day.
