Full show transcript:
We have an email. Hooray.
Wake up. Well, no, we didn't receive one. I'm saying we have an email address. See how excited she got when she thought she had an email?
I was excited. Send the woman an email. Wake up Classy97 at gmail.com. Somebody please talk to me. Wake up Classy97 at gmail.com. What's up?
Oh, I wanted to ask you a question. If you had to hype me up in one sentence, what would you say? If I had to hype you up in one sentence, hype you up like get you amped up for what kind of thing? I don't know.
Like if I had to hype you up and get you excited about an event, I would be like, and there's a dance floor. See? OK, but that is awesome. And there's good music.
And a curated playlist that you're going to love. Oh. See? Hyped up for an event. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
Because you like to get out and dance. I do. Yeah. So that's one way. If I was going to hype you up for like a fight, I'd be like, yeah, and get this.
They said something bad about somebody you like twice. It would have to be my family. That's what I'm saying.
If I was going to fight someone. And, and also, you were supposed to get something for free, and they took it. See?
You know me so well. And they took the last one. So there are no more. You can't even get one.
And you arrive 30 minutes early to get one. Hold me back. Hold me back. And you're not going to get it now. Because they got the last one.
And they said bad things about your family. Yeah, now I'm fired up. And there's a dance floor with good music. Good job. And, and pie. Pie? Are you hyped or what?
I don't. Yeah, I am hyped. You did a A plus plus. You understood that assignment very well. Oh, yeah.
And I've never loved you more. And you know what else? What? It's time to start the show. Well, hello. Oh, ho, ho, ho. Rested refreshed ready. Yeah.
Are you? I was thinking I should probably give myself some kind of morning mantra to get things started. And it felt like that was a good one. Rested refreshed and ready. Rested refreshed and ready. I like it, Josh.
Rip roaring and ready to go. Fake it till you make it. That's what they say, dress for the job you want.
I want the job of. Rested refreshed and ready. Good job. I'm proud of you. Hey, I'm proud of you. You were up before me this morning, which is rare. I was, I was tossing and turning like right around five this morning. I don't know.
I know we've got time change on the horizon. I don't know if I'm just my body's like, bruh, you better start thinking about this. Or if, you know, I was having, I didn't have a good night's sleep. It was not a good night. Just in general. I'm sorry. Kind of restless. That's the other R word I forgot.
Instead of rested, it's restless. No, you were doing so good. We were thinking positively. Remember? Think happy thoughts. Okay. Oh, that's from?
Mary Poppins. Good job. Yeah, thanks. It had a little, what's her name? Andrew's sing songy to it. Julie? Yeah.
That's right. Anyway, how are you today? I didn't have time to come up with something clever. Nor did I. I made it up on the spot.
Oh, good for you. Improv. It's too early for this. I am tired, fatigued. You lost the alliteration. I know I did. It's fine.
It's good. No, I'm here. I'm here as well.
We're here. Rested, refreshed and ready to go. Rip Roaring. Rip Roaring indeed.
Look at us go. Yeah. Unrehearsed, live, real, authentic. Real is a good one. That's an R word.
Yeah, it is. Just keep saying these words. Awake, authentic. Awake, alive, alert, enthusiastic. That's not, that's E. I know.
Be a blue it. What's the word? What's another word for enthusiastic that starts with A? Yeah. Yeah. Exactly.
Happiest of Mondays, everybody. Oh, here we go. We talked about this before, but I'm going to talk about it again because you know how you go to pump your gas. And there's signs everywhere that say, don't get in your car. Don't use your phone. Every time I go to the gas pump because, listen, I don't like getting in trouble and I like to follow the rules.
So when it's 30 below outside and it's windy, I still am sitting out there not using my phone, waiting for my gas to pump. Okay, what do you want to know? What I know is that everybody else is in their car. Yeah.
And I know, here's what I do know. I know that there's like, they really say like, do not get back in your car. If you have to, you should touch something. Raw metal. You've got to ground yourself.
So here's the deal. There are about 100 or so pump fires every year. Did you know that? I'm sure of it. Because people aren't grounding themselves. I base all my science on the myth busters.
Me too. Because they put the real science to it. And the myth busters busted the myth that cell phones can cause explosions and gas pumps.
Yes. There is no evidence that they are a hazard according to the myth busters. But what about getting inside your car? Hold on. Okay. While phones do not spark fires, the true danger at pumps is static electricity generated by getting in and out of your car, not by electronic devices.
So here's the deal. What happens is when you get in and out of your car, your body sliding across the fabric of the seats can generate static electricity. And if that happens and you reach for the gas nozzle and a spark from your finger shocks the car, the fumes around the gasoline. Because the gasoline itself, the liquid is not the flammable part. It's the gas around the liquid, the vapor, the fumes. That's the part that lights. And if a spark hits that, boom, fire. All of these people should know this.
Everybody at the gas station is in their cars. So what they recommend is when you open your door, most cars will have a little metal piece right there by the door. Touch that. Okay. And then do your gas thing. Okay.
I'm going to try doing that because I do carry static electricity. Yeah, I know. I mean, we all do. But I say goodbye to you sometimes. I know. It hurts.
I'm sorry. Like touch my hand first or something. I'll find a piece of metal to ground myself. Right. It's a good idea.
Okay. I did not know that there was a hundred or so fire pumps every year. So why do the signs hang up though?
I know this answer too. The signs about cell phones at the gas pump. Why do they still have the don't use your cell phone signs? I don't know. To prevent driver distraction, ensuring people pay attention to the high risk fueling process.
Is it a high risk process? Don't you think? A bunch of gasoline and randoms. Just a bunch of randoms hanging around flammable gasoline. Yeah, that's high risk. Every time you pump your gas, you're taking a risk. Danger is my middle name. Danger is everybody's middle name, apparently.
Actually, I was thinking about this the other day. Driving in general is just dangerous. It really is.
Oh yeah. Because you don't know who you're driving around. Right. That person could be distracted.
That person could not be sober. It's scary when you think about it. It is. Dangerous. Danger.
Yeah, no. When I was in driver's ed, driver's ed teacher said, listen, this is a very serious thing driving. It is. He says to the class, you're getting behind the wheel of a one ton human guided missile. And I went, whoa. That is intense, my guy.
And he said, you got to take this seriously. And we do. Do we? Every time we get behind the wheel, you got to take it seriously. I take it seriously. A little too seriously.
Oh yeah, seriously. I am seriously driving right now. Every time I get behind the wheel of my car, I say, I'm in the need.
I'm in the need for speed. You're in the need? I am in the need. I got a need. You don't feel the need? I'm in the need.
I am the need. What? I don't know. I messed it up. No, you didn't. You made it better. That's improvement.
They should have changed the line. I'm in the need. The need. I got a need.
Yeah. The need for speed. I got three knees. Left knee, right knee and a need for speed.
I also get in there and I go too fast, too furious. Yeah, you do. Which is the second movie. Out of 13, how many movies does that fast? At least 10 because the 10th one they didn't call fast 10 your seat belts. They just called it fast 10 or 10, 10 fast. Fast 10 your seat belts. That's what it should have been called.
There's no need for seat belts where we're going. Oh yeah. Also not aligned. The line is roads where we're going. We don't need roads. I know Josh. I know.
Stop it. Got any more? What? Any more what? Of that?
Car jokes? Yeah. What's something from the Italian job?
Do they have something? Isn't that about cars? It's about bank robbery in mini coopers. What's something from the Smoky and the Bandit?
I don't know. Oh no. I'm unprepared.
That's fine. This is a story about Aggie. Aggie is a three year old Cocker Spaniel who's back with her family after a scary plunge on a snowy mountain ledge in Scotland. Oh no.
Yeah. Aggie. Aggie was hiking with a group of people and dogs when what they say was a disaster struck. The group fell through an overhanging snow ledge and everyone was able to descend the mountain safely after the mishap except for Aggie.
Oh no. The hikers and the dogs all searched for Aggie but they couldn't find her and they returned to safety for the night and then the next morning with extra help all of them went back to find Aggie and they found her in the daylight curled up into a ball on the exposed mountain side. She endured temperatures that dropped to 15 degrees. She was awake the next morning when the rescue team arrived. Those involved said she was cold, she was grumpy but otherwise healthy and thriving. A simple less scary walk down the mountain and Aggie was able to safely warm up and close that chapter on her wild adventure and go, yeah nah.
I'm not doing the mountain hikes anymore. You guys are crazy. Anytime they're like, hey Aggie, you want to go for a walk? She's like, no thank you. Shivers in the corner. Some sim to stay inside. It's warm in here. That's so scary for Aggie. She's doing good.
Okay. And she's back in warm arms, which is great but poor thing. I know, it's so scary and cold to be, you just don't know if your people are going to come back. She's got to get all the hugs and all the treats and yeah. I'm glad she's okay. Aggie's little story is good news. Do you remember on Friday when I was telling you that I rolled over in bed and there was an elbow in my face?
Yeah, and I said that's not possible. My elbows were down on my sides. And then you said to me, look at this photo.
Yes. And then you had a couple of different photos that you claim are my elbows in your space. That's my head on my pillow.
I think it's Photoshop. Your elbow directly in my face. Move your head up a little higher on your pillow.
And then it would be in your neck, which would be cozy. No. Like a puzzle piece. Right. See, exactly. This isn't a me issue. Is it on your pillow?
Yes. How am I clear over there? You tell me there, bud. You thought I was asleep.
Yeah, I know. I know you were asleep because I, here's what happened. What happened? I was laying there peacefully.
Couldn't fall asleep. That was beside the point. That's a whole other issue.
Yeah. And I feel your arm go up. And I go, oh, what's his arm doing? I thought he kept, I thought he stayed asleep with his hands to his side. But I felt your arm go up above your head. And then I felt like a forearm or something.
Yeah. And then elbow in my face. And then I got heavier and heavier and heavier until it was right in like practically in my ear. It's in my ear. In my ear zone.
So did you know that sleeping with one or both arms above your head is a common generally harmless and sometimes instinctive sleeping style, but it's only favored by five to seven percent of people. So. What's that got to do with the thing? I'm a rare, I'm a rare key. You're a rare specimen. Look at me.
Keep it out of my zone is what I'm saying. Do you want to know why? It reduces shoulder tension and alleviates lower back pain. Sometimes I sleep with. My body's doing it naturally. Sometimes I sleep with my arms above my head. That's not my complaint.
I don't care if you sleep with your arms above your head. My complaint. Keep it out of my zone.
Yeah. Elbow specifically. And when I told you that I kept rolling over and finding an elbow, you were like, well, stay out of my zone. This picture is proof. I grabbed my phone. Took a photo of it because I wanted you to see your elbow in my face in my zone. I think you set it up. I think I was probably sleeping like that.
And then you were like, you know what? This is the perfect opportunity to put my head right there and take a photo to prove that he puts his elbow in my space. Even if I did that, your elbow is still in my space. That's still my pillow there, bud.
We need a king size bed. It's the only way you're going to be happy. I'm not unhappy. Let's be clear about that. And it's not that I complain about this all the time.
No, this is certainly a new one. I just want elbows out. They were out. Elbows out.
I'm just happy I have proof. I took a real close shot of your elbow in my head and then a far away shot because I wanted you to see, here is all your space. Here is my space.
Yeah. Here is all of your space. Here is my space. Yeah, we need a king size bed. That's, it won't fit in the bedroom. No, we have an old house. Our bedroom is small. We're going to have to get a new bedroom. I don't want a new bedroom. It's the only way we're going to fit a king bed. How are we going to get a new bedroom?
I don't know. By moving? Yeah, no way. No, I'm not moving. No way. Even just thinking of boxing everything up and loading it out? No way.
Out of town. Absolutely not. We're stuck. I'm not stuck. I'm content.
Well, right. I am too, but. We're going to need two twin beds with a nightstand between. You're going to be happy on a twin bed? Full. Not, no, but I'm trying to figure out how to give you your space devoid of my elbows.
Just keep your elbow in your space. I thought I was. I was asleep. I didn't control it. I don't know what to tell you.
I know. I haven't had to jostle you in a long time because you haven't been snoring. I was falling asleep last night and you had to jostle me. Yeah, because you didn't have your mask on. I know. And you were like, hey. Woke me up.
You're snoring. Really? Yeah.
Because you haven't heard it in so long. Exactly. Whoa.
What is that? And I went, I looked over and I went, oh, God, his mask. He forgot his mask. Yep. It's the first time that's happened. In what? Over a month? Well, over a month. Yeah.
So thanks. I slept better once I put the mask on. I'm sure you did.
I went, my favorite part is that I said, hey, you were snoring. Put your mask on. And you said, okay, okay. And then minutes and minutes and minutes and minutes go by and I went, dude. Just put your mask on.
And then it was a whole thing. I grabbed the mask. My hook fell off.
It was a, I made a bunch of clatter. It was crazy. Couldn't find everything this morning. It was a mess. Anyway. Should have just listened to me the first time. We need a king size bit.
Might be an idea. So apparently today is an old stuff day. And I'm all tired of old stuff. I don't know.
Maybe I'm, maybe I'm losing my mind. I'm a little tired of old stuff. It says it's a day to appreciate old stuff, gathering dust in your home or a good day to finally get rid of it. Listen, I'm so tired of old stuff. Can't stand it.
Why are you so tired of old stuff, Josh? This weekend, what was it? A weekend? No. No.
No. This was a long, long weekend of, of estate sales and cleaning and moving lots of heavy things, old things. Cleaning up a bunch of old stuff. I'm tired of old stuff. So for old stuff day to fall on today, I feel is a little rude.
It's like the universe being like, Hey, it's like, Hey, yeah, you remember all that old stuff. I'm gonna get rid of me. I'm old stuff.
Look at me. Old stuff. And there was a lot of old stuff that we went through. Holy smokes. A lot of old stuff.
What was the coolest thing you ever found? I don't even know. I don't even think about it. We had, we had this estate sale. Yeah. And this is a relative of yours that passed away. Right.
Your grandmother. Right. And she had a lot of stuff. I mean, she had, she had 80 years of collecting stuff. I mean, look, everybody, like I know I've got stuff. Oh yeah.
I got a clear stuff out. Oh yeah. Everyone has something that they hoard to be sure. Yeah. Mine would be scrapbook paper.
Sure. Buttons, ribbons, art supplies. I've got thread and feathers and hooks and. And books. And a lot of CDs, man.
You do have a lot of CDs. I got to get rid of that stuff. And it feels like it's weighing me down. Like the more I think about it, the more I'm like, I just got to get it out of there. Yeah, you do. And guess what else? What else?
If you don't, then somebody else is going to have to take care of it. There were a bunch of people I got to have little conversations with in short little burst throughout the weekend at this thing. They were like, you know, is this somebody that was related to you, you know, tell me a little bit about it, whatever. And these short little conversations, we were like, yeah, this is, this is like one of the hardest parts is like, you're getting to this part. Like it's the light at the end of the tunnel part, but you're also like, now you're dealing with a lifetime of memories and stuff. It's heavy. And a lot of it was real physically heavy.
My body is in pain. I know that we sent it all out and it took a, it has taken a long time to get everything removed from the house. Right. But I swear to you, I kept walking by and I was like, I've never seen this in my life. You guys are just pulling more stuff. Where are you finding all of this stuff? There's always more stuff. There's more drawers somewhere. Yeah.
It's wild. So anyway, on old stuff day, celebrate your old stuff or maybe get rid of it. Maybe get rid of it.
So someone doesn't have to later. Maybe get rid of it. I mean, I'm thinking about like stuff like I've got these like all get to it projects that are in my studio downstairs. I'll get to that. It's been sitting there in my closet as an all get to that since we moved in the house in 2012. I'm probably not going to get to it.
Probably. That's what I feel about my craft room too. Like, these are projects I'm never going to get to. I just have to break up and say, listen, it was a long run. Yeah. Time to break up. Or, you know, like tastes have evolved. Like I've got figurines and some different things in my studio. They're like, yeah, I don't need these around. Like, it doesn't mean anything to me like it did then.
What am I doing? It's old stuff. Old stuff day.
I got to deal with old stuff. How's your body? I'm in pain. We went to bed early last night. We were pretty beat.
Our bodies were like, oh, I know. I needed some sleep. And I had a rough night because of my body, but no, my feet hurt. My back aches.
I did put my 10s unit on my back for a good 35 minutes or so. Did that help? It helped a little bit.
Yeah. For my back. That was good. My feet are sore. Real sore. But at least today's the day I get to start my workouts. So, you know, I got that going for me. Thumbs up. Yeah. Keep it sore. That's the rules. Keep your body sore.
You're going to love it. We had the same state sell this weekend. And I knew going in that I was like, I'm not doing anything involving pricing or taking money. I will be the little grunt girl. I will do, you give me a job.
I'll move it. Oh, grunt girl. What?
I just mostly just boss me around. Yeah, no, I get it. This has to go over here. This needs to go to the garbage.
This needs to be cleaned up. I'm happy doing that. I am not going to haggle with people because I don't like it. I'm not good at it. I don't like it. Right. I totally agree. And there were a couple of people who stopped me and said, oh, are you, are you working the sell?
And I'd say, yeah, yeah. What do you need? Do you need me to move something? No, no, no.
I'm, what, what price is this? And I went, I know, go talk to the table. Go, go that way.
See that person go talk to them. Yeah. Now your sister is very, very good at it. Yeah. No, that's great. I know. Good for her. I know. And she was the person I sent everyone to.
I was like that, that, see that tiny person go talk to her. I don't like to do it at a garage sale when it's my own stuff. Like I don't like to, I'm like, you tell me.
Exactly. What do you want to pay for? Well, and there was a couple of those where it was like, you tell me what do you want to spend? And then people would say, you just give me a starting price. And you know what they say about money?
The first one who brings up a price is the one who loses. Is that right? That's what they say. I've not heard that. Yeah.
In like negotiation talks, even when you're starting a job, the first one who talks about money is the one who loses. Because if you shoot high or whatever, I don't know. I don't know either.
I don't know. But there was a couple of times I was near where pricing and negotiating and handling was happening. And I was like, no, I got to go. I got it.
It is stressful. I walked away. Yeah.
I don't care for that part of the whole thing. You want to give me five bucks for the $60 item? Sure. Well, okay. I'm like, you, please just go away.
You shouldn't be in charge of that. There was one person, the one time I took money, there was a woman who said, how much is this? And I said, and I looked around, everyone was busy. And so I said, $5.00. And she said, two. And I went, yep, take your money.
That was as far as my haggling got. $2.00. And then you took the $2.00 over and went, here, I sold this.
And then we sold what? Oh, no. I don't know. Here's $2.00. I got to go. Somebody needs something.
Bye. I will say also, your sister, how tall is she? I don't know. Four foot nine. Too teeny. Five foot maybe. She weighs like 80 pounds. Yeah. She's a force. There was somebody who left. She was not about to let people get away with stealing stuff.
No way. And there was a person who walked away and I said, hey, they didn't buy that. And she was like, what?
She was ready to take off after that. I know. Hey, hey, hey, hey. Is your adrenaline going?
What are you going to do? Your shoes weigh more than you do. You're tiny.
You're a teeny, tiny human. Well, I'm just glad it's over. That's, that's all. I'm just glad that the haggling and the pricing and the moving things and over it. I'm done with it.
Tired of it. Next project. What was your main job? What were you doing?
You were kind of the furniture and eyeballs, watcher of things, keeper of hallways. Yeah. I told people that I'd be the secret shopper.
Yeah. And then you had a secret shopper song. Secret shopper. But every time we went to secret shop, people that our family would come around and be like, hey, what are you doing? I'm like, you've blown my cover. You always were secret shopper in like quieter times where there were like fewer people around and you're like, yeah, I'm going to go secret shop now, which was just you wandering around. Finding stuff and being like, listen, I've been around this table six times. Where did this thing come from? This is new.
People started bringing stuff from home. Like, I'll just have this here. That's what it felt like. Oh, man. Yeah.
Don't put you in charge of money. That's the big news. No. Yeah. I don't like it. Leave me out of it. Well, secret shop all day.
Secret shopper. So you told me last night that you do not like to watch your podcast because you felt like it was a distraction from listening to your podcast. Is that correct?
Yeah. I tried to watch one of my favorite podcasts is my favorite murder. And they have this on Netflix now. And I turned it on last night because I was like, oh, I'll watch this. But I got too distracted.
Here's what happens. I get bored watching stuff. I really do. Even if it's a movie or something, I get bored. Like I need something to do a lot of the time.
Right. Like you will turn on a podcast while you're crafting or while you're doing something, cleaning, whatever. So you're listening to it while you're busy. Doing something else. We'll listen to them on road trips, for example.
But you felt weird watching them talk. Just sitting there. Yeah. Talking.
Felt boring to me. It's very interesting because a lot of people talk about video podcasts being like, you got to have video. And you and I, we create this show every weekday. We make five hours or more of podcast audio every week. It's a lot of audio every week that gets put together. And not that we take the show and we take what we do on the show and we turn it into a podcast that people can listen to on demand.
And that's the whole point, right? It's us having a conversation. People can listen. That's what we do as a job. So it naturally makes sense for it to have an audio. And I've been really working on like, let's find a way to do some video. But I don't think just taking what we do in studio as our show podcast and turning that into video is the answer. I think we need something fresh and made for video that's not just this because of the same reason. I don't think people want to just sit and watch you. Because even creating a show, even Amy Poehler, who I love, love, love, love deeply.
She has her podcast and she has guests on there that I love so much. I can't sit and watch that. I turn it on and listen to it, but I am busy doing other stuff because I can't just sit and watch two people having a conversation.
For some reason that's so great. But I also like the shorter ones. I like watching hot ones.
I really enjoy that show, but it's eight minutes. There's an activity going on. Yeah, you're right. So there's something that you're watching them do.
That's true. They're eating the wings as they're talking. But I also will turn that on while I'm doing other stuff and look up occasionally at the screen, but I'm listening to it more than I'm watching it. It felt weird watching my podcast last night because I was like, I feel like I should be vacuuming or something because that's what I normally would do. Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Put in my headphones and listen while I was cleaning house. It's interesting. Is it?
Ah, it is. I think creating things that are short form. I don't want to watch an hour and a half long podcast of two people talking.
I would much rather listen to it. What are you digging around in your bag? I don't know. I'm being quiet. I'm just just continue talking. Okay.
Why don't it's like you got bored listening to the show. No. I just remembered something. I'm listening.
I'm actively listening. So I was just saying that like I would rather listen to a show while I'm doing another activity than watch an hour or an hour plus long video of a show. Like even our own show. I've listened to our show back or I've listened to segments of the show by jumping around with timestamps and stuff and that's easier for me to consume. But video wise, I'm like 10 minutes tops. Like even when I'm watching a backpacking video, like if it's like super long, I'm like, oh my god, am I going to commit to watching 20 plus minutes of one thing?
Like I got to be in a mode to do that. Like I want to a nice little consumable 10 minute video. Right.
I feel good about a 10 minute video. Do you? Yeah. So that's where I want to focus energy. I want to create stuff that's like, yeah, it's part of the show or it's clips from the show or it's some sort of highlight reel or something that's 10 minutes or so. Like I think that's better. That's more consumable than easier to sit down and watch.
Watch an hour or an hour and a half of two people talking. Yeah, yeah, yeah. I know it.
Give me the audio version all day. I don't want to look at you on the TV. Wow. Not you.
Oh, just saying. Or you'll you'll listen to a podcast for a long time and you don't know what they look like. And you go like, I bet they look goofy or whatever. And then you see them and you go, all right. Plus, I'm not, if I'm watching, I'm not actively listening because I'm looking at what they're wearing or what their hair looks like or what's behind them or what equipment they're using.
Sure. And then I get completely distracted. You only watch probably three minutes and you're like, I can't do this. It feels weird. I love them.
I love listening to them. But it was not not the way that I tried just closing your eyes and listening. No, but I should have.
And just if you were like, OK, I'm listening. I wonder if that works. I'll try that tonight. OK, give it a shot. OK. Let me know how it goes.
I'll be on my side of the room. Emery just told me that she watched a movie with her friends and she goes, Mom, you know that, you know that guy? She goes, oh, no, I can't remember his name. He's an actor and his name is Brad something. And I go, Brad Pitt. And she goes, yeah, he's so cute. And I went, oh, honey, yeah, duh. Oh, no.
She can't remember. Oh, they watched World War Z that he said. And I go, Emery, have you ever seen Legends of the Fall?
No. And she goes, no. And I went, oh, girl. When I was your age in 1997 and Legends of the Fall came out and we all saw Brad Pitt and we all went, oh, I need that poster in my bedroom.
So now we have a date to watch Legends of the Fall. Is that right? And then I said, oh, Emery, hey, hey, hey, have you ever seen a river runs through it? And she went, no, isn't that the show that dad bikes about fishing? And I said, yeah, Brad Pitt is in that. And he's real, real cute in that movie. Oh, is that right?
And she went, don't tell dad I want to watch that. Well, guess what? I know.
You know what? The Brad Pitt's cute. She wants to watch it.
Yes, I know Brad Pitt's cute in it. What? It was like a full circle moment, actually. When I was 16 years old and I saw Brad Pitt for the first time, I went, oh, hey. Oh, hi. And now she's 16 going. Uh-huh.
Now he's, you know, an old man. So we have a date to watch Legends of the Fall. How fun and exciting.
It is going to be very exciting. I don't know if that's, she needs to watch that with her friends. I don't know if that's what you need to watch with your mother.
But she could watch Legends of the Fall with you or not Legends of the Fall. A river runs through it. Great movie. Great movie.
She'll think it's boring. But it's so good. It's just so good.
It's just too good. I know. Well, uh, congratulations. To who? To Brad Pitt?
Who still, because he made so many movies. They say the girls see him and go, oh, that guy. Well, she even said she goes, he's got some long hair and world warzy.
And I kind of like it. And I went, oh, girl, have you seen Legends of the Fall? Oh, girl. Oh, girl. Great.
This is fun. We didn't say you had to watch it with us. I don't need to.
No, you don't need to. Yeah. Enjoy that. You can, you can. I'll just wait till the fly fishing movie comes on and then I'll be ready. All right.
Yes. And a river runs through it. Oh, such a good movie. It is a good movie. You showed me a video yesterday of the movie. I was taking a video of their dog and there was a Life 360 alert that came through and the dog was like, somebody's home. Somebody in my house.
Correct. Now, as I was watching it and the Life 360 beeped on the video, our dog was like, somebody's home. Hey, it's time. Somebody's here.
Ran to the window. I can't wait to see who it is. The video was titled something like, we have a Life 360 dog. Yep. Which after watching that video, I said, we have a Life 360 dog. Yep.
Yes, we do. Because when she hears that noise, she goes immediately to the window, no matter what she's doing, playing ball, eating a snack. She's like, no, someone's home.
Yeah, it's time to go. She goes to the window and she checks it out. She's like, oh, my people are home. Yeah. She is a Pavloved for that thing, for sure.
Like 100%. She is Pavloved to know, oh, it's time. There is a coworker of mine who also has Life 360. So when she gets notifications, I think it's my notifications. And so then I pick up my phone every time hers goes, but I go, who's home?
Yeah. Who's home at two in the afternoon? And then I go, nope, everyone's where they are supposed to be. So I'm also Pavloved.
Are you? What are we going to do about that? Oh, I don't think anything needs to be done about it. Okay.
Is there anything that needs to be done? No. Where were you looking? I'm over here. I'm reading. Okay. You're reading while I'm trying to have a conversation with you? Yeah. Okay.
I'm here. Did you snap it? I did. I wanted to see if that was Pavloved too. Was it? Did I? You did. What? There was. Hey, over here.
There was a little bit of a delay, but you got there eventually. I've been snapped at everyone. I think they heard it. Hey, look over here. Hey, I'm talking. I've got you trained a little bit. Sure thing. Yeah. Should we, for fun, can you play the noise? Do you have it on demand or would you have to find it?
No, no, no. Let me see if I can have it. I was just going to see if you play the noise and people are listening with their dog nearby. I just want to see if the dogs go crazy. That's not very nice. I know. Don't do it. Okay.
I was just curious if it would work. That's like saying the A word. The A-L.
The Alexa word? Oh, don't. Yeah, you can.
You can say it. And then everybody's lights up. Yeah. And they go, huh? I'm listening.
What's happening? I can't find it. Let me see. That's okay. No, don't worry about it. It's all good. Okay. But yeah, no, she's definitely trained.
She knows. So are you, I think, a little bit. What? Hey. Something happened this weekend. We've spent a lot of time with your family and we were with your family and I said something. And I said, oh, you were complaining about your feet.
Somebody hit a rub your feet. And I said, I don't want to do that. Go have your mom do that. And she goes, nope, you bought him.
That's what she said. Nope. He's your problem now. You bought him.
With like a refund. Hey. Rude. I picked up Emory from Track because Track Practice has become a big gun and she was complaining that her thighs were sore.
Yes. And I said, what have you been, what were you working on? And she goes, oh, we were, we were doing some sprints and we were running. And, and then she says, and then we did a bunch of bounding.
Yes. Bounding. Bounding. Yeah. It's, uh, it's like high knees, but also in the air. In the air.
Yes. And then you also can't use your arms. She said you have to keep your arms down.
It's all about your legs and posture control to keep yourself moving up right. Yeah, they're hard. Oh man.
Oh man. I don't think I've ever bounded a day in my life. Let's see you do one. Just real quick. Just one, not two, just on one leg. I'm going to, I'm going to do a two. I don't even know. Oh, you took off headphones.
You're getting secret. Well, how am I going to jump with headphones on? They're stuck to your head. So the whole thing is like, if you're using your arms, you're going to swing them. You're going to build that momentum to go up on one foot.
Okay. Up into the air. Now the hard part is keeping your arms down to do it. Cause that's with arms. That's right. Okay. And then keep your arms down. It's way harder.
Yeah. It looks natural when you do it. Everything I do looks natural. Uh, I did good on my right leg. If I, but I don't know if I could do it with my left one. Well, if you have a little more runway, uh-huh. Good. I'm not getting very high off the ground. No, I wouldn't.
I wouldn't say that's a bound. What was your color? It's pretty good.
I got like three food of berries. I like when you do it. It looks like parkour when you're doing it.
Parkour. Yeah. Like, you know what? You should do a taekwondo. What's that mean? That looked like a taekwondo and you went, huh?
Yeah, I don't get it. So that helps. It does. One more. Yeah.
See. You should do taekwondo. What's that old kickboxing?
What was that old kickboxing thing? Billy, Billy. I want to say Billy Bob. It's not Billy Bob. Billy, Billy Blake, Billy.
Are you talking about like Taibo? Yeah, yeah, yeah. What was that guy's name? The Taibo guy was Billy Blanks. Yes.
He was so close. Right. Were you doing Taibo? Yeah, I think so. Let's see it. Yeah. That's Taibo.
Thank you. Parkour. I'm good at bounding. I'm going to show Emery. I'm going to practice. I think you should.
I do like it. If you had more runway and you could build up momentum I bet you would bound pretty good. Yeah. Yeah. Like a rabbit. Yeah.
You would. I know it. In here it's a little constricted. Yeah, that's. You don't really have the room to move around. Right. That's my whole problem. I just don't have the space.
That's right. Get you some runway. You are a bounding machine. Yeah, look at me. You've never seen someone bound so well.
I haven't. But also, I'm serious about the taekwondo. Yeah. You were really into it.
I am into it. Plus, how well can you yell ATA? ATA. ATA.
ATA. Right. Like when Beck took the taekwondo class, that's what he had to yell a lot. No, I know. High kick. Uppercut. Do they do uppercuts?
Knife hands and there's not. I can do that. Yeah. You're going to break boards, I think. Done.
And you've got it. You've got to do like specific forms as you move across the mat. And then you get you get tested and that's how you belt up. Sweep the leg. That's different.
It's my version. That's karate. Karate. All right. I was massaging your feet last night because you had a brutal. Day of moving furniture. Let's be real here. When we say massage, it was it was definitely. I wasn't using my hands. No, no, it was with a percussion gun. Yeah.
Yeah. No, it was but also seriously needed the percussion gun. I almost brought it to work and then I thought, you know what would be gross is if somebody saw me percussion gun massage in my feet at work. So I left it home, but I wasn't going to bring it because I thought, man, you know, I'll just go sit in my truck or something.
I saw it sitting kind of. I know. Where you grab all your stuff.
Yeah. I wonder why you moved that. I was going to bring it and I had my 10s unit next to it as well. I was thinking, you know what's cool? An old guy with a 10s unit on his back, percussion gun massaging his feet at work, the 10s unit though, you can just put that on.
I know that would go on my back and no one has to know. The percussion gun, you have to take off your shoes. My shoe off. I'd leave my sock on.
Gushing gun, my feet at work. Hey, why? Why is that gross? I'm not going to do it near food.
Yeah, it doesn't matter. I thought I would go to my truck and do it is what I thought would happen. I thought I'd like, you know, take a break, go sit in the truck, percussion gun, my feet. That's not a bad idea. Yeah. Doing it in your solitude is much better than doing it in a workspace. Yeah.
Yeah. I, I really need to get some different shoes because here's what I learned. The shoes that I was wearing, preparing for all the stuff that was going on this weekend were not in the right condition.
They're tired. I was wearing tired old shoes and it really aggravated my feet. And so then being on my feet all weekend for, you know, hours and hours and hours really was bad.
Same. And so then I started looking up planter fasciitis, right? Cause you got to see what you got going on because I look, I hike. I know that's a thing. If you don't have the right kind of shoes, your feet hurt.
And so I was looking into it and then I guess what they make. You have really turned into a hypochondriac in your old age. No, I, it's planter fasciitis.
I got it. It's my heels because of bad art support. Listen to me.
So guess what they make. What? They make these braces that you can put on your feet at night that keep the, the calf muscle flexed.
So then I was thinking, you know what is a cool look. Plantra fasciitis, feet braces and a CPAP mask. Dude. We might need to have separate bedrooms. Because of all of my apparatus. Apparatte.
My sleeping apparatus. I can't. What's happened to you? You used to be cool. Hey, I am cool.
I'm just older now. I typically wear converse, like Chuck Taylor's. And so I was wearing those all weekend and yesterday my arches were like, your dogs were barking. You've got to get some support. Do you need to borrow the percussion gun? No, because nobody offered to massage my feet.
Do you want me to go get it and take it to you at your other job? What I will say is I put on a different pair of shoes today and my feet were like, what is this? Do those have art support? Yeah.
Do they? I need a new pair of shoes. Okay. Did you know you're supposed to replace your shoes every 300 miles?
No. Did you know that there's no way to track the miles on your feet? Did you know that the human head weighs eight pounds? Did you know there's no odometer for your feet?
So how do I know if I've walked in a pair of shoes 300 miles? I guess you got to keep track. I know how. How?
Plantar fasciitis. That's how. I got flat tires. I didn't. I used to be so cool. You bottom.
My mom says. No takebacks. All sales final. No. Too bad. What else could I get going for my sleep?
There would be a good addition. You have a mouth guard. I'm not going to put a mouth guard in and wear a CPAP. Oh, that's too much. That's too much. I want to add something else to make it even weirder. I don't know what else you could get. I'll find something. I'm sure you will. Can wear, you know, that hernia girdle thing and put that on. It's a hot look. What is the hernia girdle?
Post surgery hernia girdle. Oh, yeah, yeah. You did have that for a short time.
Yeah. Because you had a hernia. That's right. And you had to wear.
Here's a mole. And cool. No. Hey. To me. You did.
Listen. I guess this is what I signed up for. And then I could get like rollerblading risk, risk guards. Just so that an elbow pads to help with your head. That could actually that might be the best idea you've ever had.
Elbow pillows. Yeah, I like that. I'll have to like suit up for bedtime.
All of my things, my braces that keep my feet flexed. Listen to me. What am I listening to?
Because I fell asleep the other night and you are so loud when you come to bed because you have to put all of your equipment on. Apparatus. Yeah. So I woke up and then I was awake. Yeah.
And then I was starting to nod off and then here comes our son locked out of the house at midnight and I went, am I ever going to get a good night's sleep again? No. Never.
I used to live alone. Yeah. 20 years ago. It was awesome. 25 years ago. Man, it was awesome.
Was it? Do whatever I wanted. I went to bed when I wanted. Nobody woke me up. I didn't have elbows in my head. Nobody's snoring.
Nobody clicked clacking away trying to get their equipment on. Apparatus. And then. It doesn't do that. It's not Darth Vader.
No, it's not. It's pretty quiet, but you putting it on is not quiet. I'll be louder tonight just just to see how loud I can be because I think I'm trying to be quiet. The stuff clicks and jangles around. It's not my fault. I know.
My apparatus is noisy. We were watching a comedian last night and it was actually pretty fascinating and funny because she said, my favorite part about having siblings is when you all get together and you throw down your memories of things that happened. And your memory is different from your sister's memory of events and your brother's memory of events. True story.
Throw it all on the table. And she said, it's like a puzzle that you try to piece together to figure out what happened. What actually happened in our childhood.
The siblings puzzle. And I've never heard anything more relatable. Yeah. I mean, you get a group of people together and you go, all right, let's figure this out. Because I am the baby.
Oh, no, no one knew. So. I'm five years younger than my sister. No, five years younger than my brother, seven years younger than my sister.
Your sister's way older, which we also know. Yes. Yeah. Incredibly older.
OK. OK. So their memories are very much different than mine. And I feel like my parents mellowed out by the time I was born.
It sounds as though sometimes when they tell me memories, I go, what? Where were you guys living? Did you live in the same house?
Because I don't remember. My parents never treated me like that. Why did they treat you like that? And they go, you don't know. You were the favorite. And I was like, what? That's not my recollection at all.
Yeah, well, maybe you should get with the fam. They're having a different kind of experience. I know what they really are. And I go, I think you guys are missing some puzzle pieces because that's not what happens.
Yeah, the picture on the box doesn't even look like that. I do enjoy getting together with the siblings and being like, OK, let's talk about this. And they go, OK, here's my version of events.
And I go, fascinating. I was in a different room when that was going on. Tell me about what you saw. Because what I overheard was not that.
That's very interesting. You are. It is called a puzzle, right? Puzzle day. Is that what you called it? Yeah, it's puzzle day with the family.
Puzzle day with the family. Do you do that with your sister? There's just two of you. And you guys are what, two years apart? Three.
Three years. So you'd have, I feel like you would have very similar memories because you're very close in age. Yeah, but then see what happens is like, yes, as child, as children, like a lot of the same, a lot of the same. And then once one of you enters middle school and the other still in elementary and the other one enters high school and that one's entering middle school, time is completely different. The timeline and the things that they experience is way different. And then I moved away.
For a couple of years while she was still in high school. Yeah, let me just talk about that for a minute. Because it is no fun to be left behind. When you're the baby, everyone thinks you've got it made and everyone loves the baby. But when you're the baby, everyone leaves you and then you go, you guys left me alone with these two crazy people.
Well, that's the price you get for having everything handed to you. I'm stuck. I'm stuck here because you guys all grew up and left me alone. And that stinks.
Well, did you survive? Yeah, but listen to me. If you're the baby, this is some advice for the babies of the family. Okay, what is it? It's hard being the baby. Oh, is it? Yeah, because you have to be the one that watches all of your siblings move out of the house. Right. And it's hard.
Being the old one is the one who has to watch all the siblings. Yeah, that's not, who cares? Who cares about that? It's sad. It's sad watching all your siblings move out.
It's start a life. Yeah, and they're all excited and they're like, I can't wait to get out of here. And you're like, I thought we were having fun. It's not about you. It is.
It's not. I'm the baby. Why would you leave the baby? Listen to me. If you're the baby, listen to me right now. It's hard being you. Yeah, okay. Sure thing, pal.
Sure thing. I got to blaze a trail so you can follow. Oh no. We're not gonna follow you.
We're gonna make our own trail. Yeah, no, I know. We're gonna be like, oh, we know what not to do. Exactly. Thank you. You're welcome. Appreciate it.
Would you rather this or that? Go ahead. Well, you didn't look like you were gonna talk.
And so I guess I said, I guess I'll do it. Would you rather this or that? Would you rather marry someone who never laughs or marry someone who laughs at everything?
I'm married to someone who laughs at everything. Yes, that's true. So I'll stay with that. Oh yay.
Oh yay. Why would you wanna be with someone who's joyless? Never laughs.
Or says like, that's funny. That's so funny. That's funny. That's funny.
Yeah, right? That's funny. Laughing is the best.
I have a relative who says that I laugh at everything. That's true, he's not wrong. But where's the harm in that? Things are funny. I like to laugh. I like to be happy. I'm happy. I'm so happy. Okay, well, good answer, Joshua. Awesome.
Well, that concludes it. Ha ha ha. Ha ha ha.
Would you rather this or that? Ha ha ha. Ha ha ha. Okay, you've heard of the concept of herd mentality. Yep. So this is where like one person sees something and then a bunch of other people react in the same way. Yes.
And sometimes it's completely subconscious. So here's what happened. Oh no.
Saw this video. There's a bunch of people at like, you know those restaurants that'll have like tables and seating out on the sidewalk, which is really kind of a cool vibe. You know, it's a summer, it's a nice weather, you're gonna have a meal, you get to kind of sit out in the community.
It's kind of a cool thing. Okay. You know?
Yes. Well, a group of CrossFit folks were on a run. And they happened to run down the sidewalk in front of this restaurant. And when they passed by, because they were just, you know, they're just runners, the people at the restaurant thought there was an emergency and started clearing the tables and running in the same direction. They're like, what's going on?
What's going on? And it only takes one or two. Yep. For the whole place to go, what's happening? Why is everyone running? And then everybody freaks out and gets up and runs.
And the whole restaurants, the tables are all empty. Because all, and it was packed. But all of these CrossFit folks ran by and they thought there was a problem. Like, why is everybody running?
Why are people running? Oh, that's crazy. And so the whole place, like, and the waiters are standing around like, no way. Right, because what are the odds that those people are gonna come back and pay for their meal? I mean, people were falling over, chairs are falling over, like people are having a panic about running from absolutely nothing.
Where was this? Good question. I don't know for sure. So then there's this guy who comments on this video and he said, let me tell you this crazy story. He said 26 years ago, he was doing some training. He was going into the army. He was doing some training and he was running a lot. And because of his schedule, he was running a lot in the evening and late at night. And in the community where he was running in this nice, not so nice urban area where he was running, it seemed suspicious for someone to be running at all at night. So he multiple times got like pulled over by cops from running for them to question like, what are you doing?
And he's like, I'm literally out running. And so they would have to like look for like any assaults or robberies that were nearby to make sure his story was factual. What happened enough times that the cops finally were like, here have this hat, it's this yellow hat.
We will have, they took Polaroid pictures of him so that they could put pictures in the patrol cars that patrol the area at night and they'd go, this guy's okay, he's got the yellow hat. And so he could run without being interrupted. Never trust a runner. Never trust a runner.
Anyway, for like five months, he had to deal with this yellow hat while he was training to go into the army so that he wouldn't get, a question by the police every time he went out. But herd mentality is something crazy. That's crazy. Yeah. Now, you think about, apparently somebody said this happened in Brazil. Okay. Yeah, there are several people saying it happened in Brazil.
So anyway, I don't know. I don't know what Brazil's evening dining life is like, but just people running by, like one person had a dog. Like it's not suspicious. Like there's a group of like six people that run by and then the whole restaurant was like, we gotta go.
Something, everybody's running from something. Well, you would do the same, right? If people were like, if everybody in the restaurant, I don't know.
Start. Because I'd look around, like not one person went, what are we running from? Everybody just got up and ran. Like there's no noise.
Nobody was screaming. Like they're just running. Oh, it's a hot afternoon in Brazil for a jog.
I don't know. First of all, I'm gonna be doing a light or a fast walk. There's gonna be no running involved because I'm gonna trip and fall. So I'm gonna be doing a speed walk.
If that. I gotta get out of here. You can bound. We learned you're good at that. You can bound away.
I did subtract as bounding. That's fast. It's a fast way to travel. It's faster than walking.
Fair. Next time you need to get some more quick bound. Bound to see how quick you get there. You might tire out quick. Maybe. I would.
Build up that fitness stamina. You know? Right now? Right now we gotta wrap up the show. Okay. Hope you have a great Monday.
