Full show transcript:
Hey, Chantel. Hey, Joshua. So we're just wrapped up the show. Now we're doing the bonus break for the podcast, which is something we throw right here at the beginning every day. I wanted to ask, are we buying those tickets for our daughter?
What's the story there? How much are they? I don't know. I mean, I'll find out in a few minutes when they go on sale.
I've got the VIP access code. You said they were looking like they're going to be like $40. Like $45. Yeah. And we're going to need four of them, right? I mean, yeah. Yeah. But this is really the first time she's been like, this is a show I want to see.
We have to go. And she hasn't stopped talking about it. I know. She's signed up for the pre-sale code. Right.
She's made sure we knew about the pre-sale. Right. Here's something I know. What's that? It's before her birthday.
Yes. It's well before Christmas. It's not necessarily a gift option because it's just so, I mean, it's a month before her birthday. Right. I mean, it technically could be, but that seems, you know what I mean. Because Beck wants to go to a concert too and that show is about a month before his birthday.
So, I see. His is also five times the ticket price. Very expensive.
Five times the ticket price. Like that's crazy. It's crazy. I know it is. And this is a band that Emory really, really loves.
Right. It's called, they're a band called Riffwood and I don't know much about them. Have you listened to their songs? No, I probably should.
Oh, I should pull one up for you. They're really good. Yeah. They're super young. Right.
So, like they're 15, 16 years old. So, if we go. Yes. We're in the heat. We're in the heat. We just hang out on the wall. With all of the other adults.
Did you drive your kid here too? Yeah. Yeah.
Yeah. What are you doing after the show? Some adult stuff?
Cause that sounds neat. What's adult stuff? Going to bed? Yeah. Calling in early night.
What's the show start? Five? Yeah. So that we can call it a late night at 830. These kids gotta get to bed.
They got homework. Yeah. I got some heartburn. I have to have spicy for dinner.
Gotta go lay down on my left side. I mean, I think we have to buy the tickets. That's all we'll look at it. Okay. And then we'll see. But there's a good chance we're going to that show. Huh?
Yeah, I think so. It's like the week after I go on my big backpacking trip. I know our summer is quickly feeling all right.
I hate it. We haven't put down one camping trip. Oh, we haven't.
This is always the problem. I'm full on where. We gotta start right down camping trips. Oh, I know Josh. I know. So long as you know.
I'm full on where. All right. Are you aware that we're ready for today's show?
Let's do it. Hey, Chantel. Hi, Josh. Hey, good morning. Good morning. What's up? What is up today? We got our taxes done last night.
Oh boy. Correct me if I'm wrong, but I feel like this is the earliest we've ever gotten them done. Now, it's not early.
You're wrong. Yeah, we've had them done earlier than this because we used to have them prepared. And we would go in before this close to the deadline.
Okay. So there were times where we were far more late early, far earlier. Oh, far earlier.
Yes. There were times where we were closer to the deadline. That's true. I just, uh, I'm proud that we got them finished.
So thanks. That's been on my to-do list for, you know, fun. No, it's not exciting. No.
It's just numbers that you have to translate from paper into a computer. It's annoying. Yeah. More than anything, it's just annoying. Yep.
Agreed. But I'm going to tell you right now, free tax USA.com is the way to go. Not sponsored. And they're not a sponsor and they're not paying me to say it. I'm just trying to save everybody some money. Free tax USA.
If you do your own and you're paying for like a software, stop it. Stop it. Stop it.
Cause we made that mistake. I will soap box until I can't speak anymore about free tax USA. Stop paying.
Seriously. Yeah, they make it pretty easy for you to. It's insanely simple.
If you, if you, all you have is like a simple return. Yeah. Like, which we do. Yeah. If you're some, if you're some fancy guy or gal. Well, yeah. I mean, that's, that's a general, uh, term.
If you're, if you're fancy and you've got like multiple forms and you just don't have like, ah, here's my 1040 that you're filling out, you know, maybe, maybe keep your accountant. That's fine. You decide.
If you want to hurt yourself, pretty easy, pretty basic. Yeah. Don't spend a bunch of money. Yeah. You don't need to. Yep. Free tax USA.
Not a sponsor, but I'm telling you, I will absolutely tell everyone I know to use that website. It's so easy. Well, high five for getting those done. You even helped our son get his done.
Yeah. I gotta go back and fix something on his though. Cause I got, it got kicked back because they want you, if you filed last year, they want you to match stuff.
We had an issue with last year and so I have to go back and do the same thing I had to do with ours. It's no big deal. Okay. Well, is that a load off your back?
I mean, a little bit. To have it done. Sure. To be like, yeah, that is done. Yeah.
It's nice to be like, okay. Yeah. Good deal. Good job.
Yeah. Proud of you. Hey, thanks. I'm proud of you. Thanks. I work hard for the money.
No. So hard for it, honey. You do work hard for the money. Yeah.
So hard for it, honey. Thanks, I guess. What else is happening? That got done. Yeah, I don't know.
What else? When is actual tax day this year? April 15th, isn't it?
No, it moves. What? Well, so it happens to be April 15th this year. Like a couple of years ago, it was because it fell on like a weekend. They push it by a day or whatever. It is April 15th. So sorry, everybody. You got like two weeks. Wouldn't it be bad if your birthday was on tax day?
I would always be associated with that. Sorry, April 15th. I'll tell you, your likelihood of getting cash in a card is lower. Oh. Well, I don't have any cash to put in this envelope because I put all my money in Go talk to the IRS. A different envelope. Yeah. Well, anyway. Hi. Hi.
Good morning. You've heard of an Irish goodbye. What is that? Is that where you just leave? Yeah. Is that the thing?
You just leave the party without saying goodbye. Okay, that's what that is. Yes. Okay.
Apparently there's a term called Midwest goodbye and this, I feel, is what you do. What? Can you take a guess? I don't know.
What do I do? It's weird. It's not weird.
It's just what you do. It's where you're like, okay, I'm going to get out of here and then you stick and you kind of linger in the doorway or close to the doorway and you just keep chatting. Or I think what happens is I don't get a chance to say goodbye to everybody and so then I'll be leaving and I'll go, oh, I didn't say, hey, real quick.
You do like to say goodbye to everybody. Yeah. You do. You really do. We'll be halfway out the door and you're like looking around and then I'm like, don't look around. No need. You said goodbye to everyone and then you're like, ah, I didn't say goodbye.
Hold on. And then I go, ah, I could absolutely do the Irish goodbye. I would have no problems just sneaking out and being like, oh, bye. So everybody there goes, did they leave?
Yes. I can't be the did they leave guy. Why? That stresses me out. No, it stresses me out when you have to say goodbye to everyone. Don't you think everybody deserves like a have a good day, good to see you?
I absolutely do. I'm not saying that. That's not what I'm saying, but I'm also of the mind where when I'm ready to go, I'm ready to go. And then when you say, yep, you're ready to go and I go, yep, I'm ready to go. Get my shoes, got my coat, I'm out the door. And then you're like, ah, let's sit and chat here for another 15 minutes.
I go and that's frustrating. I'm reading about this because I wanted to find out a little bit more. About the Midwest goodbye. It says, there are people who when the gathering is over, want or need to leave quickly and do so.
Yes. However, there are other people that feel it would be responsible to leave, but you have enjoyed the company of your friends and family so much that you don't really want the event to end. And therefore you dawdle and chat while you're putting on your shoes or standing around in the entryway just so you can hang out a little longer. It's not that I haven't had a good time or that I've enjoyed people's company.
That's not it at all. It's just, I'm tired and now I'm ready to go home and put on my pajamas. They compare it to hitting snooze on the alarm clock.
We're like, yeah, I'll go in a minute snooze. Yeah, that's what you do. That's, is that what it is? Yep. All right. Yep. And somehow I found you.
The person who likes to leave married the person who doesn't. Okay, but I think here's, here's a great example of where I've been on the other end of this and been annoyed. Okay. This says, this was my childhood. This person says, we're leaving right now. Stop playing video games, put on your shoes right now.
And then I wait for 45 minutes at the door and get yelled at if I try to go upstairs to play more video games. Where are you going? We're leaving now.
Anyway, yappie, yappie, yappie, yappie, yappie. Yep. Yeah, I recognize that. I do too.
My parents did that too. And maybe that's why I hate the lingering, but you are a lingerer. You really do linger. I don't see the problem as an adult, especially if it's just you and me and I haven't annoyed the kids.
That time has passed. They've already been annoyed. So they, yeah, Emery, she full on hates. She knows she's probably the bothered the most by the fact that you're a lingerer.
Interesting. She has called me before when you guys have been out somewhere and you are doing your lingering thing. She's called me before and said, dad's doing the thing. Can you come get me? And I'm like, no, sorry, kid. You're on your own.
That happened weekly on Mondays. Can we just go home? Or do you have to talk for 45 minutes? Like, not just like shooting the breeze over here. I've got things that are important. Sometimes you're just shooting the breeze.
I know. Sometimes there's nothing important that you're saying. Well, I am sorry to you for being the way that I am.
That's just the way I am. I'm a lingerer. I'm sure everyone appreciates your lingering.
I'm just not in the hurry to go. That's all. Unless I am.
Unless I am. And then I'm like, we got to go. When are you ever in a hurry to go?
I don't know. If it gets crazy somewhere, I might be like, we got to get out of here. What are we doing here? Why are we stuck?
We got to go. I've never seen that side of you. I'd like to see that side of you. Would you? That side of you that's like, we got to go.
I've never seen that. You're always just like, man, we'll get there when we get there. Or we'll leave when we leave. That sounds better.
No. Doesn't it? I was so laid back. I know. I love it. All right. I thought it'd be fun for good news to try and see if I can find out if you actually have a soft spot for the Kansas City Chiefs. Let's hear it. All right.
What do you got? In the world of pro football, the guys blocking up front are called? The O-Line. That's right.
The offensive lineman. That's good. Way to go.
Thank you. And they're often overlooked. Would you agree? Yes. I would agree. Name some offensive lineman.
Oh, golly. Well, he doesn't play anymore, but Christian Wilkins, right? I don't know if he was O-Line or defensive, but that's fine. I couldn't tell you any others.
I could. Jason Kelsey was a center. He's a tight end, isn't he?
No. Travis Kelsey is a tight end. Jason Kelsey was a center in the offensive line.
He's the guy who snaps the ball to the quarterback. Okay. Yeah. Yeah. That's an offensive line.
All right. So all of those guys make up the offensive line. They're big dudes. I really like when the big guys run to do the touchdowns.
When they get the ball. Oh, that's my favorite. Isn't that cool? Yes.
Okay. So they do a lot of dirty work. You agree? Yes.
They make a football team successful when they are on their game and they're working, protecting the quarterback. Oh, for sure. Okay. They usually don't get a lot of recognition from a lot of fans. That's a thing that happens. In Kansas City, though, one of their linemen, their center, Creed Humphrey, is being honored by the Rolling Hills Zoo, which recently named its newest white rhino calf, Creed, after Creed Humphrey. But why? Because they pointed out Creed's incredible strength, his grit and his Midwest roots and his ability as a football player, as the inspiration for naming the rhino, Creed. Okay. A big, sturdy rhino named Creed. Cute.
Yeah. Creed, the football player, he visited the zoo to meet the little rhino in person and he described the opportunity as unique and amazing. Creed was quick to bond with the four-legged counterpart, they said, and was also able to shine a spotlight on rhino conservation and the plight of endangered species. While white rhinos being an endangered species, to be able to visit and interact with Creed, the rhino was incredible, he said. And I urge everyone to visit Rolling Hills Zoo because of their efforts in conservation and how interactive the entire zoo is. Cute.
So there is a rhino named Creed in Kansas City named after center Creed Humphrey of the Kansas City Chiefs. Okay, that's cute. Okay. That's cute. All right. A little bit of crack in the armor.
A tiny for Kansas City, tiny for their offensive line. All right. End. End of soft spot.
All right. And the baby rhino. That's a big deal. That's fun.
Baby rhinos are always great. Right. And they're cute and they run around like crazy animals. Yeah.
I'm never going to be mad about baby rhinos. Like a toddler? Yeah. Yeah, they do. And then sometimes they fall down. And like baby elephants, when they find out they have a trunk and they just start swinging it all around. They're crazy.
Anyway, that's good news. Motorcyclists are so cute. They always just say hi to each other.
Yeah. You see another motorcycle you do ahead. Well, it depends on where you're at. Like if you're at an intersection, you and you don't have your bike in neutral and you're just holding a clutch waiting to go, you can't wave the right way. When you're riding, you have your hand on your throttle and you see an oncoming motorcycle. You would with your left hand do like a little hand wave.
Like, hey, see you. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah.
Which is, you know, it's just a thing. And then you just cruise along. But your right hand's on your throttle. So you're not going to take your hand off and wave like, hey, hi guys. You're just going to keep riding. And then you're going to do like a what's up.
I see you. Which I think is interesting because here's what I've noticed about motorcyclists. In general, I will say, there are definitely some people that don't do it. But most motorcyclists give the friendly little I see you way more than, you know, any other group of people, I would say. Yes, I would agree. But I also think it's interesting because motorcyclists are looking out for motorcyclists.
And so it's cool, you know, in the sense that like, I see you, hey, what's up? Does that make sense? Like, because people driving big trucks or cars or anything, a delivery van, whatever, sometimes don't see motorcyclists. And that's a problem because people aren't looking multiple times to make sure there's not a motorcycle coming or whatever.
And they're harder to see on the road because they're a smaller mass. And anyway, you know what I mean? It's cool.
Like, motorcyclists see motorcyclists and they go, there's a motorcycle. I know. It's just funny to me. I wouldn't, I drive a golf, a Volkswagen Golf.
I wouldn't ever see another golf and be like, Hey, hey, you should try it. Hey, hey, what's up? I know that like when older me, otters see each other, they wink, wonk their headlights because they have the pop ups. And so they go, and they flip them up to say hi to each other. That's cute. They wish I had that. Wink, wonks. Yeah.
Wink, wonk. Maybe I will you should talk to the other golf. If you see another golf, just like wave like a maniac.
Till they look over and then they'll go like, Hey, what's up? And you go, no, we need something. I know we need something cool though.
What could we do? Like a golf swing? Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Swoosh. It's hard sitting down. It's hard.
It's hard from the driver's seat. You're going to need something else. That's not going to be it because you're not going to be able to see that from outside your car with tinted windows. No matter how I put it, like it's not going to look like a golf swing. Try it. I just did. It looks like you're shoveling.
I know, see? Why did your wrist turn up? Like you had two shovels in your hands. I got two little sand shovels. Scoop.
Okay. If you're driving a golf, watch out. Golf swing hand action. I'm going to wave at you. Oh, whoa. I mean, like the Jeeps have the duck thing they do.
Yes. Like they stick ducks on each other's vehicles. It'd be cool if, uh, if like I, there's so many Tacomas and when I had my Tacoma, I thought, man, you know, it would be fun as if, if Tacoma guys had a thing.
Uh, Tacoma guys do have a thing. I'll tell you what it's it. It's a rooftop tint. Yes. What else is it?
I have, I have that. All of the outdoor stuff. Every Tacoma has an outdoor get up. You know what else, you know what else they have?
And I've migrated it into my tundra. What? All those, uh, patches. Yep.
You do have a lot of patches. But that's not a, that's not a, hey, how you do one. No. That's just a lifestyle thing. You know, the Tacoma lifestyle.
Sometimes when I see a golf, the, the person driving it is like a young kid who's got it all like raced out. Nice. And it is nice.
It's super cool. But then I don't feel comfortable waving because I'm just like an old lady that's like, right. That's what, don't do it weird. Don't do it like a weird old lady. You don't know me very well.
I do, but that's what I'm saying. Like roll up, roll down the window, especially if Emery's in the passenger seat, roll up next to him, roll down the passenger side window, and point for them to roll down their window. And then when they roll it down, you go, sick golf dude. And then roll the window back up and then watch how embarrassed she, she will sink below the window.
Has already sucked down the once I started rolling down the window. Oh, you're right. Yeah. She's gone.
No, no, no, no, no, no, no. Sick golf. Sick golf, dude. Bro. I feel like dude's more the right word. No, I'd like bro better. Rose, rose off the tongue better.
Sick golf, bro. Yeah, maybe something like that. Like we'll get, have an interaction.
Okay. Like sweet golf. My God. Yeah.
And then I'll say, how do you make that noise at ears? Do you have your intake valve still attached? Yes, because otherwise my engine wouldn't work. My intake valve is firmly attached. Thank you.
Start talking cars with the car guys. What kind of suspension you got on that bad boy? What's the, I have a TDR. TDI. TDI. Yeah.
What's the other one? A GTI? That's right. Be like, I got a TDI.
Right. You run on diesel too? What you got? Yeah. Yeah.
I got diesel in this. I'll be like, just say weird stuff like that. I vacuumed it out the other day. Cool. Cool. Hatchback. Thumbs up. Yeah.
Like that five door, do you? Me too. Same. Golfs. We're going to unite. Yeah. We're going to form a golf club. Oh. And it's not swinging clubs. This is not working.
I'm going to be the, this is going to be the coolest club. I don't think it is. It is. You're going to be so jealous. I'm not because I have a motorcycle and I can go, hey, nice bike dude. I was in the kitchen last night talking to you, just leaning on the counter and you looked at me and you go, hey, did you know that Americans tend to lean on things?
It's true. And I said, what are you talking about? I learned about the American lean. It's a cultural phenomenon where U.S. tourists and citizens casually lean against stuff. Or when standing, we'll shift weight to one leg or the other. They don't, we don't just stand up straight. We just don't. I just assumed everybody. I just assumed humans did that.
I get that. I could see how you would, you would assume that, but it is actually a physical thing that if you were like a secret undercover agent for the CEIC, that's the college. The CIA. They have a whole class, a whole course on teaching people to stand up because it can give you away as an American if you lean like that. So what do other cultures do? So it has a lot to do with posture and status in society historically.
Okay. So like in European countries, for example, the higher elite people, they stand. They stand with good posture.
Irrigately. It's very much a thing where you don't slouch. You're not, your posture's good. Like your, your straight back, upright, standing, strong posture.
But if you're leaning, that's like a more like, look at how casual I am. Exactly. And that's, and that is how Americans in general present.
Is a, it's a more laid back, casual type presentation. And so it's, it's not even something that anyone thinks about because it's just part of our cultural norm. But it is something that Americans do. There are some, like Asian cultures where if they're like standing around waiting for somebody, they squat down and they let their legs stretch while they're, while they're waiting, they're just squatted down. Oh, my poor knees. That hurts my knees. Right.
But if that's how you always did it, your knees might not hurt so much. That's true. Right. It is true. So it is interesting. It's fascinating actually.
But there is a lot of, a lot of people who are kind of like, you know, we could probably look better. What's it? It's called the American.
The American lean. Yeah. Yeah. It's, it's a real thing.
And I think that's kind of interesting. I mean, and I find myself doing it all the time. I lean constantly. I'm leaning right now. I'm sitting in a chair, leaned forward, resting my arm. Like my body can't hold itself up. Like what is wrong with me?
Nothing. It's just how I find comfort. I can't just sit up.
Like what? Sit up like this? What are you crazy? All day? I'm sitting normally, but if I'm standing, you bet I'm going to find something to lean on. If there's nothing to lean against.
Um, oh, that's a bad day. Cause then I go, I don't know what to do with myself. I have to lean. I have to American lean. That's right. If you ever go outside of the country and people go, oh, you're from America.
It's probably cause you were leaning on something. Just so you know, if you go, how would they know? I didn't even say anything.
They didn't hear an accent. They, they go, you're leaning. I was reading something that says it, it's been called out as a marker for travelers and sometimes leading to accusations of being slouchy. Oh, rude. I don't care about being slouchy. I'm comfortable.
Yeah. What's wrong with being slouchy? This is a good wall to lean on. Slouch. Yeah.
Slouching on the wall. Yeah. So it's a big day for Chubbock, Idaho today as they get a Raising Canes chicken fingers restaurant. I saw last night, when was this posted on East Idaho news?
10 hours ago. So do that math real quick. Seven minus three, that's 9pm.
Raising Canes opens tomorrow and Pocatello people are already lining up 9pm. I saw that. Yeah. I saw that.
Yeah. Have you ever loved some food so much that you're going to line up hours and hours and hours in advance? I know that like when they open, like they do a free food for a year kind of thing when they open.
Okay. And typically it's a Lord, awarded to 20 winners during a new restaurant's grand openings. And you get a rewards card that gives you three box combos per month for 12 months. It's about a $450 value. That's a pretty good value. That's a good deal. I am, here's the thing.
I'm going to get slammed for this. What is it? It's so good. And we've had this conversation. And the reason that you say it's just okay is because you're not big on meat. If you were big on meat, you'd know it's pretty good.
It's pretty good. I'm not big on meat and I'm not big on crinkle fries. Guess what they sell? Delicious crinkle fries and breaded delicious meats.
And breaded hunts of chicken. Yeah. So they do have their big opening today. And I don't know exactly what time. Oh, doors open at 9am this morning. So, I mean, people lined up 12 hours ahead of time.
Yeah, 9am. That's a great time to have raisin canes. It says they've got a branded trucker hat and a free box combo card valid on a future visit for the first 100 combos purchased in restaurant. Limit one hat card and one card combo, blah, blah, blah. They have major canes kudos for customer number one in the form of a one of a kind gift basket and big welcome greeting from all the crew. So whoever's first in line is getting that major canes kudos for being customer number one. That's kind of cool. That's some clout.
I guess. It looks like they'll have a coffee truck on site because that will be there at, you know, 9. Ribbon cutting ceremony is happening approximately 8am this morning.
So that's coming up in just a little bit. There will be a check presentation at the Pocatello Chubbock School District and Idaho State University cheer team and Benny the Bengal will be on site. Oh, everybody's there. Everybody's there. Everybody's there. If our kids could, absolutely.
They would skip work in school to absolutely be at the Grand opening. It's so good. That Texas toast. They got some good Texas toast, but you can get some. And they're in their cane sauce.
It's so good. Just admit. I don't think I'd line up to be first. I'm going to wait. And then one day I'll be driving by and I'll be like, finally, I get some canes without having to drive all the way to Utah. Yeah, I think that's what our kids are excited about. Yeah.
Because every time they go to Utah, they're like, can we have canes? Right. What's next to it?
Right. And then you go, is there a soup? Is there some soup around? Yeah. Delicious. Anyway, congratulations, Chubby Pocatello.
Today's a big day. Okay. I don't know. We briefly talked about it.
I think the Idaho Transportation Department is doing a battle of the plates. Oh, yeah. And they have finished the first round.
They've moved on to the second round. So I've been voting when they pop up. Yeah. And they pop up every now and then and they'll just say like, it's teal and white versus whatever. And then I'll write teal and white because it's a good one. Is that your favorite one? It's not my favorite one.
No. The trout one is my favorite one. I think it's a great plate. Second is the forest forever. That's my other favorite one.
That's a good one. Because I love the design. I love all the color and the whole plate is a forest. And I think we need more plates.
All of the specialty plates should look like that forest plate, in my opinion. They're very cool. They're very, very, very cool. So if we could figure out whoever designed the forest one do all the rest, because that is very cool.
So they, here's what I wanted to talk about specifically. As they've moved into the next round, I feel compelled to point out that the 4H plate beat the black and white plate. Really? And I'm not dissing on 4H at all. But that blows my mind. Because driving around, I can tell you right now, there's way more black and white plates than 4H plates. I think people probably, yeah.
Something happened there. And I get that you want to support a program, but I'm way surprised 4H beat the black and white plate. Me too.
So 4H is right now competing with forest forever. I like the black and white plate. That's my favorite. Yeah. Yeah, yeah. It's a good clean style. It's awesome. It's got to be their best selling plate.
Well, I want to go get one, but I don't want to spend the money. I understand. Forest forever beat snow skier to be taking on 4H now in this next round, which is again, forest forever. Cool plate.
Love it. Surprise did beat the snow skier. I've seen the snow skier plate everywhere. Yeah, I see that one everywhere. But that plate could be redesigned to be very cool.
It could be very cool. Teal and white advanced firefighters beat pet friendly. And so now Teal and White is up against firefighters. This is for real.
This is super weird. Imagine a firefighter plate with fire all over it and the firefighter in the corner. Like that's cool. How would be cool. Like right now it's the red, white and blue standard plate with a firefighter in the corner, but I want to see it with fire everywhere and then the firefighter. Where are you looking to find all of this?
I know transportation look at some of them. Bluebird lost to agriculture. Oh, I like the bluebird. The famous potatoes plate beat the standard plate, which all the difference between those two is it's the standard plate with a potato in the corner with a slab of butter on it. Again, make the whole plate look like a potato.
Make it cool. I haven't voted in any of these. I need to vote. Well, you get 24 hours to vote when they post. When they post.
Okay. The trout beat the rangeland and is now up against the sawtooth, which beat wild rivers. And look, I really like the sawtooth one and the trout one.
I'm not excited for that round. But again, the sawtooth one, it's just got the goat or the sheep, whatever, standing on a little sawtooth peak. Imagine if the whole plate had the sawtooth range across it.
And an alpine lake on the bottom. The firefighter one is really cool. But imagine if it was all fire instead of red, white and blue. The firefighter is awesome. Keep the firefighter, but make the whole plate fire like the forestry one. No, no, no, I can't all be fired. They're putting out the fires.
They're keeping America fire free. Okay, listen, listen to me. When I tell you a plate covered in fire. Dude, dude, they're fire fighters. What do you see when you put out the fire burned wood? They're going to put burned wood on it.
No, they keep I like how they have it. The mountains, the trees, the beauty, and they're like, no fire in the corner. Stay back. Stay back, fire.
I like it. I disagree with you. Okay. Okay. I'm gonna vote. Okay. Vote. I don't know what I'm gonna vote for it because today it's the Teal in White versus the firefighters.
Yeah, it is. Well, you have eight hours left to vote on that one. The Swan Valley Fire District said, do we need to actually type this out? Firefighters, of course, they said. Okay. I thought they were gonna go, we know. Yeah.
All right. Well, see in the Wild Rivers one that lost to the sawtooth, now imagine the Wild Rivers one with like, it's got, it's got both a kayaker and a whitewater raft on it. But what if the whole thing was whitewater? Settle down. You see? Like how the forest one is all forest. I see, Josh. I see. Because the red, white, and blue with the mountains is on every plate, the thing you're saying, and the firefighters are keeping the fire back. I get it. I like the firefighters, but I would like to see that whole thing covered in fire with the firefighters making a good dent.
No, they're already making a good dent. Anyway, you can vote the Edo Transportation Department Facebook page if you want to get involved. I did.
Good job. Now, I don't know if you've been keeping up on Punch the Monkey. I haven't. You want to know what he's been up to? What's he been up to? Punch has a girl friend.
I had heard about this. Do you know her name? No.
Her name is Momo Chan. I was going to say it's church with an M. Yes, it does. Yep. She is a five-year-old female and he's been moving on from his emotional support plushie to spending more time with Mo. They've been pretty inseparable. They have been cuddling and grooming. And the zookeepers confirm that they do have a close bond, which is very exciting. So now having a family, some friends, and now a girlfriend, Punch, the formerly lonely monkey, has a new companion.
Oh, a punch. Momo Chan. I love it.
Mo. Yep. Isn't that exciting? That is exciting. Mo, Mo Chan looks quite similar to the orange Ikea plush that Punch previously carried.
People are noticing and they're not wrong. She's that orangey color and yeah, that's kind of fun. That's kind of fun and cute. And I'm excited for Punch.
I'm excited for Punch too. He just needed some friends. He just needed somebody to love. Yeah. And someone to love him.
And someone to love him. Yep. It's exciting times. They wrestle around. You ever have anybody just crawl on you like a toddler? Yep. That's what, I mean, but they're yanking each other around, like by the neck. Like they're crazy, these little monkeys.
Yeah. Have you ever been a mom to little kids? I've been a dad.
Yeah. Your kids just wrench on you all the time. That's how these monkeys are showing love. They're knocking each other down. They're pulling each other's hair. Like, I love you.
Yank. Anyway, I'm very excited for Punch. It's great news. This story had sort of a trajectory to not be this exciting, but we're doing the right side of this story because Punch is in love. Oh, Punchy. Yeah. I love it.
Congrats, Punch. And we was out with a friend of hers on Saturday and you and I were just hanging out downstairs watching movies. We were trying to figure out what to watch. And so we were just scrolling YouTube and you stumbled across a, finished the 80s lyric. And we were cooking, as the kids say. I mean, for the most part, some of them were and you were like, you have nailed it. That was exactly the words. Well, then Emery came home with her friend and then they were, they joined in on the party and they were okay at some of them, but they were mostly amazed that we knew so many. I mean, I know.
But then they kept saying, it's not fair. You work in radio. And I'm like, it doesn't matter if I didn't work in radio, I'd still know these songs. Exactly. I would too, because that's those songs were just around all the time.
I know this music. Then we took a, they've got all kinds of fun quizzes on YouTube. There was the quiz that was like named the 80s or the 90s movie. Yeah. Based on the scene. And there were only a couple where I was like, I have no idea what this is. But for the most part, we knew every, I mean, there was like a hundred movies. Yeah, we cooked. Yeah. As the kids say, we did.
We cooked. I do know that most of those movies, Emery was like, I haven't seen that. I haven't seen that. So I've compiled a list. How long is it? It's pretty long. It's pretty substantial. That's like 60 different movies.
Here's the problem though. We have shown her some of these movies. She's just too young to remember.
She was too young to remember when she watched them. And sometimes they go, Hey, do you want to watch that cool movie? And she's like, No. So she's never seen Goonies.
She doesn't remember. Honey, I shrunk the kids. I feel like a bad parent. I do too.
Like when you say she's never seen Goonies, I've seen Goonies so many times. Except it's not for lack of us trying. I understand. I'm just saying, like it's been on in the house multiple times. I know there's been opportunity.
Oh, Josh, I'm full on where she hasn't seen Back to the Future. Yeah. What? How is that a thing?
She said she's never seen Top Gun. I know. What are we doing? I don't know.
Not watching movies. Maybe that's the deal. Yeah, but you've been outside. That's true. Yeah.
Here's the thing. She has watched these movies. They were just when she was younger. Right.
So yeah, she doesn't remember some of them. So we got to do a movie. We got to do a lot of movie watching. We got to show this girl some of these movies. Harry and the Henderson's. Great movie. I know.
That's John Lithgow. It's a good show. Yeah, it is.
Yeah. Three Men and a Baby. I don't know if I've seen it, but there's a mustache from Tom Selick in that. What? Yeah. I know that. You've never seen that movie?
Maybe. Movie night. Is it going to be good? Are you kidding?
I'm just trying to give you my 16-year-old curling. Is it good? Steve Gutenberg? What's that? Tom Selick? See, if I'm 16 right now, I don't know who you're talking about.
I don't know what that means. You're just saying names. Nancy Travis? You didn't say Tom Holland, so I don't know who you're talking about. I know. Ted Danson? I mean, I know that name. I do, but our 16-year-old daughter does not.
I know. We got to show her. She's got to see that one. She said she'd never seen- Ted Danson with not silver white hair. She's got to see Beetlejuice. She said she'd never seen ET. How's that possible?
I don't know, Josh. We are severely bad parents. I guess severely bad. We'll do better. I don't know what else to say.
Well, we've tried. She just doesn't- She has her own mind. And when I say, hey, I'm watching this cool movie, she goes- It took her a minute to watch Speed. We had to promise her that there was a bus. Like, there's a bus involved.
It's a big deal. And for the first half hour of the movie, there's no bus. And then she said out loud, I was promised a bus. And then the bus showed up. And then I went, see.
And then she was hooked. Right. I don't- Here's the thing. Every time we do try to introduce her to a movie that we've loved, she gets like, oh, this is going to be so lame. We should just grab a little minor detail like that then and- But then she gets hooked.
Teaser with it. Half an hour in, she's like, I'm hooked. And we're like, what are you going to learn that we are good movie watchers? We don't watch terrible movies.
Just take our word for it. Right. Yeah.
Like Milo and Otis. No. Take my word for it. It's a good one. No. Okay. Homeward bound. Better.
I mean, it's okay. Talking animals. Babe. You love a movie with talking animals.
She hasn't seen Babe. It's on the list. That list has got a lot of movies. I know. We're going to have to- A movie a night. It's years worth of movies. I know.
Yikes. I was listening to Amy Polar's podcast and she had Jonathan Groff as her guest. Jonathan Groff is, as you know, King George and Hamilton. Right. And a million other things.
Kristoff and Frozen. And a million other things. Yeah. But she does a thing, Amy Polar does a thing on her podcast where she'll call up a friend before she does the interview with the guest. She'll call up one of their friends and talk good about them behind their back.
Well, that's nice. And she was talking to one of Jonathan Groff's friends and her, his friend had said that he does really intense eye contact and she goes, you just feel like he's really listening to what you're saying. Jonathan does. Yes. That's an interesting compliment. Right.
Yeah. And so then it made me start thinking about my eye contact. And I think I have pretty decent eye contact when I'm listening to people. I don't think I have great eye contact when I'm talking to people. But I also was thinking about if somebody is listening to me and they have really intense eye contact, that makes me nervous for some reason.
Okay. And it makes me start to stutter and mess up my words and forget what I was saying. And then I want to be like, well, look away.
Your eye contact is too intense. Like stop it. Yeah. Look away. Yeah. Why are you staring at me? Really?
Just locked in. How do you feel your eye contact is? Sometimes okay. I feel like I can have a conversation without staring you down.
Because nobody wants that. Yeah. Like a little glare. Not glare.
Don't do a glare. That's intense. No, intense is like.
No, that's crazy eyes. Settle down. I'm listening. No, you're not.
You're scaring me. Look away. I'm looking at you. Ooh, let's have a stare down.
Okay. It's a lot of eye contact. Do you have eye contact when you're talking to people? Like if you're listening is one thing, but when you're talking to people, that's quite another. Depends on if I'm having like a one-on-one conversation.
Like if I'm driving with someone and I'm talking, I'm not locked in on eye contact. Well, duh. Because I got other things to do.
Say you're not driving. Where am I at? At the kitchen table. Well, I'm having a conversation at the kitchen table.
That's where eating happens. You do this thing lately. I don't know. I just noticed it a lot lately.
Where is this going to go? I don't know if you've done this for a long time or if this is a new development. I will start talking to you. You'll be totally stationary when I'm talking to you. And the second I start talking, you start walking away. Yeah, I've heard enough. I stop talking and you go, I'm still listening.
Right. Well, you probably caught me in the middle of something. No, you were stationary when I started. Oh, but then something popped in my head. I had to go do real quick.
You can't wait? Apparently not. Apparently not. I got somewhere to be.
That's yeah. It's this when I stop, you walk away, I stop and you go, I'm listening. No, you're not. Where did I go? To the garage or the basement. Yeah, like I was like, okay, I'm grabbing a Tupperware. I can still hear you. Like we finished the meal and we're still having a conversation, but I was going to start cleaning up, but I'm still around. So go ahead and keep talking. I'm listening.
You're not actively listening. Yes, I am. I'm still involved. I'm still here. I'm still with it.
Not giving me eye contact. Is it necessary? I don't think it's necessary. Wow. It's not personal. It feels very personal. No, I've gathered that you feel like it's personal, but it's not.
Is what I'm saying. Maybe work on your eye contact. Okay. But not intense. I'm gonna. Don't get creepy about it. Sometimes if we're camping, it will be intense. Stop. Sometimes.
Sometimes it's in RV. No, stop it. End it right now. Look at me when you say that. No, you've you use an aversion of eye contact as some sort of weapon. No, I'm not even going to look at you because that joke was not funny.
Okay, got it. We watched the Stalin Ross. I don't know if that's pronounced it.
That sounds as good as anything else. It's Dutch. Yes. It means steel horse or iron steel. Is that what it means? It's frequently used by the Dutch as an enduring term for a bicycle.
This Stalin Ross, again, pronouncing incorrectly, is a bike race that they do in the Netherlands on the Hague, which is the river there. Okay. And I don't know exactly why.
Well, so here's the deal. It's put on by Red Bull. So Red Bull has created several different events. They do the flutog. Are you familiar with flutog? Yes. That's the one where you have to build a gliding machine and you push it off of a tall platform over a river. Yes.
And you try to see how far you can fly flutog. Okay. Then they do the boxcar race, which was recently in Utah. Okay. Right. And they have a big downhill, hay bales, custom built boxcars.
They have specs that people have to build to. You have to have two people, whatever you have to wear helmets, like all these rules. Yeah. And then if you make it to the bottom, I don't even know if you win. I think you just get bragging rights. I don't know what the point is. But then Stollen Ross is this, it's a Dutch cycling obstacle course, I guess.
I mean, not really. It's just a 262 foot track. Floating track. Yeah. But the track has obstacles.
Like it gets narrow or it has like stones you have to roll over. Okay. That's true. And you have to have two people on your bike. So a lot of people are using modified tandem bicycles.
Some people have made their own thing, welded stuff together. It's crazy. And I think it looks like an interesting challenge. I want to do it. I kind of want to do it.
You do? Most of the people ended up in the river. Oh yeah. Their bike fell off because it's a narrow track. Well, it starts wide, but then it gets narrow. But you got to balance yourself. Yeah, there's some balance required in order to stay on the skinny track. My question for you was, do you want to be on the front and steer or do you want to be on the back and just offer balance?
Because that's really how the person in the back is doing. Which one are you taking? I don't know. I'll do whatever. I mean, there were some people that built some side by side stuff. Yeah. I'm just watching a clip of it. It's just ridiculous. It is ridiculous.
And that's why I want to do it. They also have it in Germany. It's called Saddlefest in Germany. Saddlefest. Saddlefest.
Ah, Saddlefest. Sure. Great. I think it's cool.
I think it'd be a fun challenge. You haven't answered the question. I don't... Do you want to be my partner? That was not the question. That's the question. You asked if I wanted to be in the front of the back. Yeah. And then I... You assumed we were going to be partners. Exactly. And then I had to go back because you were so quiet about being in the front or the back.
Do you want to even... Look, it's not personal. It's just that there's balance involved. And you're a great motorcycle pillion, but the motorcycle's doing a lot of the balance work. So we just have to lean. With a bike, it's a little different. How sure are you of your balance skills? We can practice. It's not like you just jump on a bike and that's your first go. I feel like watching these videos, it feels like it's the first time a lot of these people have ever been on a bicycle. I know. Like, do you know how a bicycle works?
I can't for sure say that they all do. Okay. But again, front or back? Front. Okay. I'll take the back. I'll balance us out nice. Don't be all left, right. All right. You got to stay strong center. Okay.
I will. Like a backpack. Yeah. I'm good at that. No.
None of that. Well, I'll only do that if your steering is janky. Don't be a janky steerer. Whoa. Whoa, you see, this is why it'll never work. You can't. You can't.
You just can't. You came at me first. I didn't.
Yes. You felt attacked first. I didn't attack you at all. I just said, don't, don't be shaky. I know what you said. And you immediately thought you were shaky and I called you out for it.
It hasn't even happened. I said, focus on that. Focus on being a backpack, steady, strong, grounded, balanced in the middle. Okay. Like I would. Calm down. You calm down. You just wait. I'm so calm.
Just wait for what? The splash? No.
No. What am I waiting for? I'm finding a different partner and we're going to be so much better than you and whatever partner you find. Who else are you going to pick? Who else is going to be your partner? Because I bet you my partner is going to be better. Who are you picking?
I don't know yet. Nobody ever wants to be my partner. No, that's not you pick. It's not they pick you. It's you pick.
You, who are you picking? Okay. Here's the other part. Here's why I know I'm going to stink. Okay. Because I will just be, because the river's gross.
I'll just be having a lot of fun and so then I'll just be laughing and like can't focus or do anything when I'm laughing. That's what I said. No shaking about. And then you're going to get mad because I'm having a good time. You won't get mad, but you'll be like, we could have won if you'd stopped laughing. They'll be like, but you didn't take it serious. That's why I need a different partner.
Just for the bike ride. Because I feel like winning would be an accident for you. And then if you accomplished it, you would be like, no way. We totally did. Yeah. Well, good luck to you and your partner. Thank you. And to you and yours. Thank you.
Don't need it. So imagine it's Sunday. You and I decide we need to get a little exercise. So we go take a walk. We take the dog. We go, I guess this was Saturday. Yeah, Saturday.
And we decide we're going to have a little, you know, early morning, not super early, but early afternoon, I guess, mid morning. Walk downtown. We decide the green belts are good spots. So we're going to go walk the river. We're rounding the boat docks.
We let the dog play in the water because she likes to splash and then bite the splash that she made. So she's doing her thing. And then we said, let's go, keep walking. And we were headed south on the west bank of the river. And there's a whole group of people gathering, a large gathering of, I mean, almost 100 people, I'd bet.
There was quite a few. I don't like, no, I don't like not knowing what's going on. Yeah, you feel like you're missing out?
Yeah. And I noticed everybody's on their phone. And I went, Oh, I think I know what this is.
This is a, this is a group gathering of some online alternate reality game. I've seen this before. And as we're getting closer, you're going like, Hey, what's going on? What's going on?
You start asking. Yeah, nobody was, what's up? What's, what's everybody doing? What's going on?
There's some exclusive club. Yeah. And then one guy kind of grouchy said, Pokemon.
Right. And he was the guy wearing the ash hat. He had on ash from Pokemon.
He had on that hat. And I went, Ah, Pokemon go. And he wasn't, I should probably, it's, it appeared that he was a little bit grouchy when I, when I think he just had one answer and it was Pokemon.
I think he probably was like, you're bothering me. I'm trying to focus. Yeah. Well, I think he was leading the group.
Okay. I felt like he was, because it, maybe it was like an instructional, like here's how you play the game or maybe it was like, uh, you know, some sort of, some sort of thing like that. They had some sort of big like, let's get together.
It's Pokemon day. I don't know. Do you think they sing that song? Pokemon? No.
Let's get together. No, they don't sing that. No.
So, no. So, once you found out that it was a Pokemon group that was, it was doing their thing, there was another couple that walked by and the lady and that couple went, Josh and Chantel, hey, as we were walking with the dog and that was something that was in the wilds with sunglasses on in our incognito. I was wearing a hat and sunglasses. That's classic disguise.
You always wear that. That's classic Josh. That's classic Josh attire. So, my wardrobe is classic disguise. Hat and sunglasses. That's how Captain America hides in public. He's like, hat and sunglasses. No one will notice me. I don't think there's any need for disguises. We're mostly out going like, Hey, Hey, does anybody recognize that?
Please, someone. It was cool. And we didn't get a chance to stop and chat because the Pokemon group was leaving. Oh, they had to catch them all. They were moving. Yeah, they had a squirtle to get to. You know, there's a Charizard around the corner.
We got to get after it. That was cool. I'm happy that they, I'm so happy that they have a group. That was really cool.
Yeah. And a great community. It was decent and all ages too.
Yeah. Like it was, it was middle age people, older people, young people. That was a really cool thing to see. So, it was cool. Great little community you got going there Pokemon Go. And thanks for spotting us out in the wilds. You almost caught us.
If you would have thrown a Pokeball. You know that thing I was today years old. Okay.
When I learned this. Yeah. So, somebody on TikTok the other day said I was today years old when I learned that the older woman who plays the older Dottie Henson in a League of their Own was not in fact Gina Davis in makeup and prosthetics. Right.
You showed me these pictures. An actress. Right. Totally different actress. And what is her name? Lynn Cartwright. So, Lynn Cartwright played the older version.
Yes. Not the younger version in makeup playing the older version. The casting is uncanny. I know.
It's so good. They specifically chose her for her similar bone structure to Gina Davis. Yeah. But that's crazy to me because my whole life I've gone thinking like, oh, those makeup artists. Wow. Did you know that the woman who plays the old woman on Titanic is not the same woman that plays Rose? Did you know that it's not Kate Winslet in old lady makeup? I did.
Same. My mind was blown. Did you know? It did. No, that was. Did you know that in the notebook, the lady that plays the Rachel McAdams character as an old woman is not the same as the Rachel McAdams character?
Same. I did not know that. Why are you making fun of this? Did you know that in Benjamin Button, the guy who plays Benjamin Button the whole time is the same guy in makeup? The whole way through? The whole time. You haven't finished that movie? I haven't. So you don't know how it ends? Or started it because I'm confused about this movie. First of all, I've seen the ending.
I have not seen the beginning of that movie, but I have seen the ending and I'm here to tell you that the person that plays him in the end is not Brad Pitt. Interesting. Different person. No way. That's amazing.
I can't wait to see how that movie ends. I was shocked by this because I've gone my whole life thinking that. Yeah?
Yeah. And so then when I realized and the internet was shocked too, actually, quite frankly. It's fantastic casting. Did you know that in now and then Christina Ricci's character is not Christina Ricci in makeup as an older person? It's Rosie O'Donnell. It's not even the same person. Stop it. Did you know?
Stop it. Why are there so many movies like this? Like there's a young person who's telling the story of an old person's memory. What's the deal with all these stories like this? Makes good storytelling, I guess. I guess. Really encapsulate.
You get to see the end before the beginning. Okay. Thank you. I haven't seen a movie like that in a long time, actually. Yeah. It's just a 90s. Is there another example?
No. We've thought of several. You have thought of several. Doing all the heavy lifting. Hey.
Hey. Would you rather this or that? Would you rather write a book or direct a movie?
I would rather direct a movie. Seriously? Yeah. I did not think you were going to pick that.
You didn't? I thought you were going to say write a book. Writing a book. Like I enjoy writing, but writing a book, it seems like it takes a long time. That's how I feel about directing a movie.
I feel like directing a movie, you're committed for several months and you got to have the vision of the movie in your head the whole time. You got to have like, I need a consistent character story arc and I need a consistent look. And so you have this whole team of people that you have to keep on task. Yeah, exactly.
You have to be in charge of people. I think that sounds okay. I think that's cool. To be the shotcaller in a product like that would be kind of interesting.
No. Plus it's all gadgety. It's full of gear and lighting and gadgets. That seems cool. That's right up your alley. Yeah, I'm kind of into that.
Yeah, you are into that. But that sounds more like a key grip kind of role. Not a director.
Yeah. Like a director, I'm going to be telling you like, no, that's not, you got to say that line with a little bit more pizzazz, you know. Yeah, you have to boss people around. Not necessarily, but you got to.
You got to manage them. I bet there's some egos. For sure.
And I don't like egos. Yeah. Big deal people. Yeah, you know, I'm a big deal.
Yeah, they walk on set like they own the place and you're like, hey, listen up small Tatos. We're all on the same team here. Knock it off. I'd have to do that every day. Yeah, I know.
I'd have to remind people. You have to manage people. I hate managing people. I don't mind that. I don't like that at all. I don't like it. Leading people is fun. I enjoy that. No.
Yeah. I'm going to write a book. I'm going to get a cabin in the woods. I'm sequestering myself inside and I'm just going to sit down and write. Cool. Reminds me of a guy named Ted. He did that.
Got a cabin in the woods and sat down and wrote a bunch. Different. Oh, okay. I'm just saying it was real Ted.
It's a real Ted thing to do. I was thinking about the guy in the book Misery. Yeah. Yeah.
Also trapped. I know. He was not there of his own accord. He was initially. He was in a different cabin than that when he left. He got trapped. You can't leave.
One does not simply leave. Well, anyway. Yeah.
That's what you're at. Well, good luck on your movie. Yeah. Thanks. You're in your book.
Thank you. You love ranch? I mean, it's okay. I'm falling less in love with ranch.
Oh, seriously? There are certain places where I love it. There is a good homemade ranch that goes with some homemade good fries.
I'm in. I like it with a pizza and a soft taco. I've actually moved away from it as a salad dressing.
It's more of a dip for me at this point. Okay. Well, Hidden Valley Ranch is looking to hire ranch ambassadors to send to Europe and spend two months showing foreigners how ranch dressing can come complement any of their local favorite foods. You can dip your fish and chips in it. Yeah.
Get rid of that tartar sauce and replace it with ranch. It's happening this summer. They're looking to hire two teams of two people.
You don't have to be a couple, but you do have to be cool sharing a house. All travel expenses are covered, but they'll also pay you for about 40 hours of work per week. And some of that is just like social media content. If you're interested in this, Josh, you can absolutely go fill out an application. Are you suggesting I do? I mean, you really are. You like ranch or you used to.
But here's the other part. I would not be good at this because I hate ranch, but especially I hate Hidden Valley Ranch. It smells so bad. It makes me kind of, I'm just thinking about the smell of it, and it makes me kind of sick, smelling it. When it gets dried out. Oh, that's the worst.
It's stuck in like a little, a little dipping cup, and then it's got that skin. Yeah. So I would not make a good ranch ambassador.
I see. But you're not, it doesn't say you have to eat it. It says you have to educate people on how to eat it.
Yeah. How showing foreigners how ranch dressing can complement any of their local favorite foods. And I would say toss this.
Okay. So let's look at like, this is in England specifically. Just Europe. It just says Europe. It's pretty vague.
But two months, you could spend two months there and your travel expenses are covered and they're going to pay you. Okay. I think that's great.
I love the opportunity. Yeah. Here are top English staple foods. Kegel. Potatoes, roasted, mashed, or as crisps, meaning fries.
No. They're staples in most meals. You can put ranch on that stuff. You can put ranch on potatoes. I know you can, but you shouldn't.
I'm just saying you can. Ketchup. Red for sandwiches, breakfast toast, or beans on toast.
Do you mix in ranch with beans on toast? No. Okay.
Gross. Roast beef, sausages, or as they call them, bangers, bacon, and white fish in batter or fish and chips, right? Can you, you could absolutely use ranch in the place of tartar sauce and you could definitely do ranch with sausages. Roast beef, I feel, is pushing the limits. I feel like ranch is just going to make that stuff taste worse. Okay.
Peas, carrots, parsnips, and greens. Absolutely. You can mix ranch with all that.
You can. What about Cornish pasties, pork pies, shepherd's cottage pie? You're going to do ranch on that? No, I'm not going to do ranch on anything.
That's why I'm not doing this. They need somebody who's just nuts about ranch. I know. And there are those people, there are people that carried around in their bag with them everywhere they go because they just worried they aren't going to have ranch. I know.
That's who they need. When he was younger, he could have done this. Yeah. He loves ranch. He made up a song about ranch. Ranch in there. Ranch in there, ranch in there. Ranch in there, ranch in there. That was the whole words.
Ranch in there. That's right. That was it. That was the whole song. Well, I mean, I just want the trip.
Right. Send me there. I'll throw away the ranch and I'll say, don't try ranch because it's gross. And then I'll get fired. Yeah, no, you have to leave.
You're like, I'm already here. Pay me. All right. That's going to wrap up the show for today. Have a great rest of your Tuesday.
We'll see you back here tomorrow on your Wednesday. Yeah. And you know, all that good stuff.
Have a good day and all that jazz. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. See you tomorrow. Goodbye.
