This is wake up classy 97, the podcast, and it's a replay of today's full show. It's Thursday, November 21st. Today on the show, the McRib is coming back. Let's go McRibbn'. Glicked.
It's a verb. You can go and get a McRib. It's called McRibbing. Gross. Get one.
Gross. I won't. Glicked, the Wicked and Gladiator 2 Hybrid is hitting theaters this weekend. And then we've got, like isn't Moana 2 coming out real soon too? It's gonna be like I think that's next weekend.
Is it Moana 2 or just the live action Moana? They're filming live action Moana, but Moana 2 comes out next weekend. There's so many movies. Okay. I can probably do 5 push ups.
You think? I think. Let's try it real quick. Drop and give me 5. I'll do it later.
No. You won't. The secret is to slither out of bed. And then there was a part where you said crawl to the bathroom, and I feel like there's gotta be a better way. There is a better way.
Josh wants to eat Thanksgiving dinner, and Chantel wants to eat Thanksgiving lunch. That's right. What is your deal with eating at 1 or 2? Because it's and then you can have it again. Yeah.
You can eat it twice. You can have it for dinner, and then 2 hours later, you can still get out the leftovers and have it for 2nd dinner. You're gonna be too full. Like a hobbit. You're gonna be too full.
I'm not gonna be too full. Our parents are from very different generations. We found that out through music. I got LASIK, and I can't put my eye drops in. Yeah.
Or as you I think the direct quote was, I'm not good at eye drops. You think you know a person, and then you find out that they hate your wardrobe. Yep. I don't I don't hate it. It's fine.
It's just not my favorite. Yeah. It's fine. I just will I will never wear the shirt again. No.
Make soup for a friend and see what happens. Yeah. It's a fun game. Hey. Here's soup.
Who do you contact if you wanna shoot a rocket? It's the FAA. Spoiler alert. Sir Brian May is a PhD. Yeah.
He's got it all going on. Slow down, Brian May. Leave some for the rest of us. Yeah, Brian. A 97 year old cheerleader flies again.
Pretty adorable. An upcycled craft supply store is a genius idea, and giraffes need our help. Thanks for listening to our show.

It is. Interesting. Hey. We have a wreath on the wall. Did you turn that wreath on?
Nope. Really? Really, really. I have not turned that on or off since you've hung it up. No.
That was off when I left. I don't know how it's turning on and off by itself. Oh, no. It was a suspicious wreath. Are you sure you're not just turning it on and off?
I have not reached up there. I turned it off yesterday after the show because it's got a little Christmas lights in it. Mhmm. I did not turn it on. Well, I haven't touched it.
I couldn't even tell you how to turn it on or off. Really? That's how little I've touched it. Interesting. Mhmm.
It's national gingerbread cookie day. Oh, yum. Yeah. I like gingerbread. Do you?
Yeah. Remember the gingerbread Oreos? Those were delicious. Oh, yeah. Do they still have those?
I don't know. Those were great. Those were fantastic. Guinness World Records Day. Today is the day.
Today is the day, Josh. Today is the day that if you've been thinking all year long, you were gonna try and set a record. Today is the day to I've given you so many ideas. Ideas. Yeah?
Yes. I can't remember all of that. Exactly it. That's a lie. There was a guy that stuck bottles I'm not gonna stick a bunch of bottles to my face.
To his face. Let's see. What's some of the other ones I've given? There was something to do with pickles? No.
I've given you so many good ideas. I just haven't found the right one yet. Well, then that's your fault. I guess. It's world television day.
Parts of the TV invented in Rigby That's true. I've never been to that museum, but I need to take a visit. Yeah. Learn a little bit about the Farnsworth story. Is that what it is?
Yeah. Farnsworth invented a a part of the TV, a real important part of the TV. The most important part, I betcha. I'll bet you're right. It's world hello day.
Hello. Hello. It's a friendly smile on the wave. Hola. A feeder's saying No.
That's good. That's good. You just Right. Today is the great American smoke out. This is a big deal because, this is a hard thing to quit.
And today is the day where, across the country, they say, look. Let's do this together. Let's all make today the day we quit. It's the great American smoke out. That's cool.
Hey. If you're thinking about doing it, why not do it today? Right. Today on the great American smoke out. What else is going on?
Social enterprise day, rural health day, false confession day. False confession. Yeah. Jokingly admitting to a wild adventure that never happened. Just to keep your friends laughing and the mystery alive.
You know, false confessions. Hilarious. Yeah. Keep my friends laughing. Mhmm.
It's World Pancreatic Cancer Day today. Good day to raise some awareness for pancreatic cancer. World philosophy day, use less stuff day, I could handle that. I could use less stuff. I could use way less stuff.
It's National Stuffing Day. Stuffing. They call stuffing a culinary marvel. I don't know that it's that. I don't think it is either.
It's delicious, and I love it. Yeah. I don't know if it's a marvel. I've never looked at a food I've eaten and said, what a marvel this is. Well, wow.
I wonder how that's made. That is what's going on today. That is happening on this Thursday, November 21st. Good morning. Josh, Christmas is gonna come early for you.
It is? Yeah. December 3rd. What's happening December 3rd? Do you wanna take a guess?
I, well, I don't know. They're bringing back the McRib. Let's go. For real? So gross.
Yeah. For real. Nationwide Yeah. Including here I sure Idaho? I think so.
Delicious McRib sandwich. Delicious. Okay. Also, if you love it so much, they're celebrating that it's coming back by selling half gallon jugs of the McRib sauce. I don't need that.
For $20, you can buy a jug next Monday at whole lot of McRib sauce on top. Sell out in a minute. Of course, it's gonna sell out in a minute, but also gross. I don't need that. No.
You don't. That sweet tangy barbecue sauce. I just want it on that pork rib, pressed meat It's not sandwich. Real. It's that's all fake.
It's pressed meat. It's processed. Pressed. Pressed. Pressed meat.
It's fake. No. It's real meat. It was made in a lab. No.
A laboratory. Not lab meat. Yes. It is. No.
That weird non burger burger you have is made in a lab. The non burger burger that's made out of vegetables? That's the one. That one? Yes.
This one's made out of meat. No. It isn't. It is. It's just pressed into the shape of a rib sandwich.
Yeah. I know. Oh, it's so good. Well Those pickles on there. Let's go.
Ew. Look at it. I just can't even look at it. It's a saucy delight. Okay.
So they say that the McRib season is a holiday unto itself. Mhmm. So they wanna embrace that spirit and give fans an even bigger way to celebrate by bringing a gallon jug I don't need the gallon jug of sauce. I don't not a gallon. It's a half gallon.
It's a gallon if you buy 2. I don't need that. In 2022, they did a McRib farewell tour. I don't know if you remember this or not. I did not attend.
It turned out to be a lie Uh-huh. Because they brought it back the next year, and now they brought it back again. So if they ever say a farewell tour, it's just marketing. Yeah. Of course it is.
They just wanna sell more McRibs. Like the band KISS. It's our farewell tour again. So last year, they they kept track of all the pricing of the McRibs across the country. Okay.
The average price was $5.9. The lowest cost happened to be in Jacksonville, Florida where you could get the sandwich for 3.59 last year. The most expensive sandwich happened to be in Hawaii, 709 for the McRib. I wouldn't pay a dollar for it. I would pay 2.
Yeah. I know. Knightdale, North Carolina cited the sandwich this morning. What? Yeah.
There's a there's a map. He saw it somewhere this morning? That's right. They say it's not available until December 3rd. Look.
I'm telling you, They have an, they have, an unconfirmed report yesterday in Salt Lake City. Of a sighting of the McRib? Yep. It probably wasn't the McRib at all. It was probably somebody stepped on a squirrel.
And they were like, oh. Rude. This looks like the McRib. That is so rude. Can't even with you.
There's a couple of, sightings in Denver, a couple in Cheyenne, Wyoming. Let's see. LA, there's got a siding. They're they're showing up. There's a lot in the in the middle part of the country and then tons in Florida.
They're they're seeing the McRib pop up in Florida. You have a McRib shirt even. You love it so much. I should wear my McRib shirt. It says McRib is back.
Yeah. You're so gross. It's I don't know what goes on in your palate, but it's wrong. Have you tried one lately? I will never try one.
Well, you won't even have a bite of mine? No. I will never. I'll cut you off a little corner. Looks so gross.
I can't even handle looking at it. Look at it. Just close your eyes and taste it. I don't wanna even taste it at all. It's so good.
It's so good. Well, I hope you can spot your own soon. And I can only eat one when they come back. It's not like I there are people that will go buy dozens of them and freeze them. Ew.
So you can reheat them until they can restock. Ew. That's worse. Is it? Yes.
Why? Because a reheated Yeah. McRib? Ugh. So gross.
It's called the McRib. That's what is What would you call it? Nothing because I wouldn't make it. So good. Do you remember Barbenheimer?
Yeah. And then ever since Barbenheimer, that was, what, 2 years ago, or was that just last year? Something like that. Okay. Ever since then, they've been trying to smash 2 blockbuster movies together again.
I can't remember. Doing it right now. They're doing it again. They're calling it Glicked Yeah. Which is Gladiator and Wicked.
That is correct. And both of these movies, I actually do wanna see. I know. I've heard they're both amazing. I still haven't seen Oppenheimer.
I haven't either. Well, I know because we haven't seen Oppenheimer. We live in the same house. Why haven't we watched it? I don't know.
I just haven't gotten around to it. Because it's a long movie. And it feels heavy. And it's intense. Yeah.
And so And it's a lot of dialogue, and you're gonna be bored. I'm gonna probably gonna fall asleep. Right. So I could watch Oppenheimer by myself You probably could. While you sleep next to me.
Wake me up to the, exciting bits. Mhmm. Sure. Or just stay awake for the movie. I'll try.
Mhmm. I always try. It's never like I intentionally lay down going, yeah, I'm just gonna fall asleep. I don't know if you I think sometimes you're kinda like, yeah, I'm gonna fall asleep. Sometimes.
If it's a movie I don't care about. So when you say never, I think no. I think you do that. Oh, sometimes. Yeah.
Sure. Sure. I do that. Yeah. We have tickets to see Wicked.
I know. I bought us tickets. Tomorrow. Right? No.
I bought us yeah. Tomorrow. Tomorrow. What is today? Thursday?
Yeah. Yeah. I bought us tickets tomorrow. Tomorrow? Wicked.
I'm excited. We saw Wicked, in New York on Broadway. You saw it, with me the second time. Yes. You saw it the first time with the original Broadway cast with Kristen Chenoweth and Idina Menzel Yes.
Which is a big deal. It is a huge deal. Yeah. And I was blown away by the cast that I saw, which was not the original cast, but was spectacular. Yeah.
That show is spectacular. Unbelievable. I am still they've they've made it into 2 movies, and I still grab. Don't think that they should have done that. I feel like that's gonna be a stretch.
I feel like there's gonna be parts of it that are unnecessary because they're trying to fill time. I agree. I don't they could've just made one movie. They should've just made one movie. Yeah.
What if they did and and I'm and I haven't seen it, and I'm excited to see it, and I'm sure that it's gonna be fantastic, and it's gonna be, you know, all the things Wicked is. I think they should have done, with Wicked what they did with Hamilton on Disney plus I agree. And released that in the theater. I agree with you. I absolutely agree.
And I absolutely think they should do that with more I agree. Broadway Musicals. That is correct. Because sometimes some of us can't afford to see Broadway Musicals. And and the world needs to see it.
It's fantastic. I wanna see all of the things. Right. All of them. That being said are saying that a lot of people are singing along to Wicked, and so they're kindly asking you not to sing along to Wicked.
If you do try to sing along, it's gonna be different because there's different remixes of it. This is true. There's different singers. It's gonna be a different, a whole different If we're in the theater and somebody starts singing along What are you gonna do? No.
I'm asking you. What are you gonna do? I'm gonna be a noise. Question. I'm not gonna say anything because I'm not that type of person.
I'm a passive aggressive person. No. I will not. But I will sit there, and I'll be cranky. Throw a popcorn cart.
No. I won't, but I'll be like, oh. And then I'll wait for somebody else to complain about it. Wait till they try to hit that big note and go and just take some popcorn and chuck it in their open mouth. You hear that noise.
I think it's an okay idea. It sounds rude. Like, you're gonna choke somebody. Is it as rude as singing? Don't sing.
Nobody wants to hear you. Right. I'm here to watch the movie. See Yeah. Professionals do it.
And that might not even be in the first movie, will it? It It will be. Reserved for the second one. I I would imagine it works its way up to intermission. Okay.
You're probably right. That would make the most sense. But it also why does it take 2 hours to get to that intermission It does. When the entire performance is not even 2 hours I know. On Broadway.
I don't understand what we're doing here. But, also, I haven't read the book. I don't know the source material. Maybe there's more in the book than made the made the stage. I have read the book.
It's been a long time since I read the book. I don't know if I remember the book. Yeah. Well, go read it again. Find out.
Let me know. Tomorrow? Sure. Oh, no. Get on it.
Turn some pages. I'm a fast reader, but I'm not that fast. You better pick up the pace. Oh, crud. I'm gonna tell you about a woman named Katie Ornelas who recently bought a vinyl record at a thrift store Okay.
In Austin, Texas. Alright. And, the title on the slipcover, the cardboard part, the sleeve on the outside of the record says, the modern jazz quartet at Music Inn. That's the record she bought at the thrift store. K.
The modern jazz quartet at Music Inn. Got it home, and she said, I wanna listen to this bad boy. She gets the record player out, gets it all ready, takes the record out of the sleeve. On the record, it says Phil and Donna's wedding. Oh, no.
And she's like, what? So she puts it down, puts the needle on the thing. It goes and then it starts playing. The couple exchanging wedding vows. There's cheers from guests.
It's a very exciting recording. And Katie was like, well, clearly, this was mistakenly sold at the thrift store. This is somebody's. This is not the modern jazz quartet at Musikin. So she said, I'm going on a mission to find the couple, and I wanna get this back to them.
And so she went on this mission, shared the story on social media, couple of local TV stations. The daughter of Phil and Donna, their last name Schmidt k. Heard about it, told her parents, Phil and Donna in 2022 moved from Austin to Denver. They had an estate sale and sold off a bunch of their belongings before they moved. Smart idea.
The record was likely sold because it was mistakenly put in the wrong sleeve and eventually ended up at the thrift store and eventually found its way into Katie's hands. Well, arrangements have now been made to return the record to Phil and Donna who said, this year we celebrated our 58th anniversary. It'll be really cool to have this record back in time for our 59th next year. That's great. 59 years married, recorded their wedding on vinyl.
Vinyl. That's pretty cool. Yeah. It is really cool. I don't know why we didn't do that.
Well Well we have one of those mini discs. Oh, we have it on video. Yeah. But it's a mini disc. Mini DV?
Yeah. Yeah. And we can't watch it because we don't have a mini DV player. So it's essentially the same. I've converted I don't know if I've converted that one yet, but I've converted several of them to digital video.
You haven't converted that one yet? Because I wanted to watch it the other day. So that's all. What a what a Clark Griswold moment. You just wanna bundle up with some scarves and watch a wedding tape?
Yeah. Yeah. Oh, that's so nice. On a vinyl. They're wedding vows on a vinyl.
Yeah. Pretty cool. That is pretty cool. I'm glad they got it back. That's, that's the good news part that gets you good news to get you going.
How many push ups do you think you can do? None. No. I bet you can do some. If you try to do real push ups, how many do you think you could do?
A few. 3? Sure. 7? Sure.
12? How many? Maybe 5, 10. 5 to 10? Yes.
You think you could do 5 to 10 push ups? Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Why?
Donna Jean Wilde from Alberta, Canada. She is 59 years old. She is a grandma. She just crushed the Guinness world record. It's world record day.
World record day. So we gotta talk about this one. How many did what's her name? Donna? Her name is Donna Jean.
How many did she do? Donna Jean in 1 hour did 1575 push ups. What? Yeah. That's insane.
I don't even know how that's possible. She beat the previous record with 17 minutes to spare. Look at her. Yeah. 15 175?
That is correct. That's She, was cheered on by 11 of her 12 grandkids, and, the one who wasn't there missed out. I mean, that's your grandma doing a world record. Maybe he had something else to do. I guess so.
Maybe it was a big day for him too. This is not her first world record. What's her first world record? She also holds the record for the longest time in an abdominal plank position. 4 hours 30 minutes 11 seconds.
This lady, Donna Jean, has a core. She really does. Her core strength is on point. Donna Jean, what are those abs doing? Well, she said that training for the plank record is what prepared her to take on the push up record.
So she is a 2 world record holding grandma. How how long can you hold the plank? A while. Not 4 hours. You can hold it for a while?
I can hold it for a while. How long? I don't know. It it probably 2 minutes more. Maybe 2 minutes more.
Years ago. We were doing some plank a plank routine. Yeah. I can hold it for a while. Oh, can you?
Yeah. Not 4 and a half hours. How many push ups can you do? More than 10, not 1500 in an hour. And was she doing real push ups?
She wasn't doing knee push ups? Let's look it up. Donna Jean. If she's doing 4 hour planks, she's not doing knee push ups. Those are real push ups.
She's doing real push ups. Yeah. She's got some shoulders too. Oh, I get she's got official counters. She she looks healthy and fit.
She looks ripped, I bet. Yeah. She's tough. 1575 push ups in 1 hour. Good for you.
Donna, Jean. Good for you. Show everyone up. You. Yeah.
She's tough. Gotta get to the gym. She's tough. We just get to the floor. That's where the push ups are.
You don't have to go to a gym. Oh, that's tough. On the floor. Do some push ups. Start your training.
No. That's right. Do some planks. Do some push ups. Alright.
You're shaking your head, but you said it all right in a sigh, but then you shook your head like, yeah. It's not happening. I just don't want it right now. I'll do it later. Oh, good.
This is also you, babe. Mm-mm. You think you know a person? Oh, no. That's, okay.
No. It's me. It's me. Sorry. We have this sheet that keeps track of the show that says exactly at 7:15 what we're supposed to be doing.
I was in the 8 o'clock hour. Yeah. That's not now. Okay. This is me.
This is you. This is your story, not mine. Alright. There is a self help guru named Mel. Uh-huh.
And he is going viral after telling people that they should try slithering out of bed. So when I when you say that Mel is a woman. Okay. My apologies. Probably short for Melissa.
Maybe. Or Melanie. Uh-huh. So Mel says you should slither out of bed. Here's what happens in my head.
What? I see your body like a snake Yeah. And you scoot your feet out, and then you just kinda and you sort of ooze out of bed. Is that is that what I'm This is what she said. She says, if you have a problem getting out of bed or you struggle to get out of bed, she said, here's what you do.
You slowly slide out of bed and onto the floor, and then you lie there on the floor for a few minutes if you need to. Then you literally crawl to the bathroom. No. She claims that you'll feel much better about your day by the time you get there to stand up. Yeah.
I don't know. Some people say it's worked for them. Others say that it's nonsense. If I see you slithering across the floor, man, get up. What are you doing?
I'm gonna do that. Somebody said, well, I tried this, but when I got to the floor, I fell back asleep. No. That's a problem. I slithered to the floor and fell back asleep.
Yep. That's an issue for sure. I feel like maybe this is just somebody trying to go viral, and so it's just a new she was like, I think this is gonna this doesn't actually work, but I might get people to sleep. Bed. Yeah.
I think you're right. I think this is a let me see what ridiculous thing I can come up with. Yep. I'm not slithering out of bed. Do it for the clicks.
I'm not I'm not slithering. Yeah. Snakes don't walk. They slither. What's that what movie is that from?
I don't know. Robin Hood. Robin Hood. Even believe that you would not even guess. Why would I guess?
I'd just be wrong. Slither out of bed tomorrow. Let's see how it goes. I'm not. Let's report back.
We'll try it. Here's what I do when I wake up. I lay there for a minute, and then I go. Yeah. And then I look at the clock, like, is it really this time?
This time? Yeah. Like, surely, it can't be. Surely, this clock is wrong. You named your call your clock Shirley?
That's a weird name. Surely, this clock is wrong. Dub. Dub. When is your well, actually, I I'd know when you were know my preference.
Yeah. I do know your preference. Everybody has a preference of when they wanna eat Thanksgiving dinner. I like to eat Thanksgiving dinner. You like to eat Thanksgiving lunch?
Yeah. I do. I like Thanksgiving dinner. Because then here's why I like to eat Thanksgiving lunch. Like, 1 o'clock, 2 o'clock, sometimes maybe even 3.
3 seems a little bit late too, but 1 o'clock, 2 o'clock. That's too early. No. It isn't. Because I'll tell you why.
Because you can have a light little breakfast, and then you're ready for lunch, and then you eat a big lunch. And then by 7, 8 o'clock, you're like, alright. I'm ready for seconds. Let's do this. Get it all back out.
No. You like to eat Thanksgiving dinner. Correct. And then you're starving. Or suffer.
I'm not starving all day. I'm not starving because I've been snacking on relish tray. I've been snacking on charcuterie. I've been snacking, snacking, snacking. You bet.
I'm I'm I love deviled eggs as you know. I do. I do now. So the the point is you can snack all day long. You can you can girl lunch and then have Thanksgiving dinner, and I'm talking, like, 5.
5. Yeah. It's so late. No way. That's perfect.
I would have even said 4 for you. I think that your family pushing it. 4 is the time to arrive. I think 4 I mean, that's a good time because then you're not waking waking up really early to get your turkey in. I mean, you're cooking at a decent a reasonable amount of time.
Sometimes, I remember my mom waking up very, very early to get the turkey in so that we could eat. I remember One time, we were hosting, and I was really excited about it. And then I got home because I had to work that morning, Thanksgiving morning. And I got home, and everything was already started, and I wasn't stoked about that. I'm sorry.
Because I was real excited to, do that, but other people in the house were getting a little anxious that we might not be eating until 4. So they started without you. Yeah. So I still have yet to actually fully start to finish prepared turkey Go ahead. My whole life.
I don't want to. Yeah. No. I'm over it. I would like to, but I don't wanna do I don't wanna do it.
It feel it feels tainted. I wanted to do it really bad that year. But I didn't get to. So it's like, you know, the game was taken away. So now I'm like, I'm good.
Oh, jeez. For real. That's a that's a real deep down emotion for me. Apparently so. Yeah.
That's a that's a that's a tough spot to be in for me. Oh, he's just a turkey. Yeah. I know. You could cook one anytime you wanted to.
I'm good. There was a year it was just the 4 of us, and we made a tiny little turkey. We just had, like, little turkey breast. Turkey breast, which was great. You don't have to clean anything.
No. That's perfect. Turkey breast. It was great. That was great.
It's easy to carve. It was awesome. I made a handful, like, a tiny little pan of sweet potatoes that was just for me Yep. Because I was the only one who ate them. Yeah.
You had, like, 2 yams to make it. It was perfect. It was perfect. Yeah. There's nothing wrong with having a a moderate size.
You still had some leftover Mhmm. Which was good. So you were happy with that. You're able to make your sandwich thing. And then 1 year, we actually just decided this might have been when, I can't remember when it was.
Yeah. Yeah. It was during during the quiet month of November in 2020. And we all just got our favorite meals, and we all just ate our favorite meal. So we had, like, Indian food and enchiladas and spaghetti and meatballs.
Like, just whatever you want. It was just so yeah. Whatever you want, you can have it. Be grateful for what you like and what you have. That's it.
Kind of fun. Yeah. It was fun. Fun year. Yeah.
What time did we eat? Whenever we were hungry. We really kinda just did whatever we wanted that year. I think the kids were like, I'm hungry now. Go for it.
Go nuts. Eat your food. Have an enchilada. Go wild. It's Thanksgiving.
That was fun. Yeah. That was a good one. I know. Maybe one day I'll cook a turkey for real.
Go ahead. Anytime. You can do it anytime. I said maybe. I was watching a TikTok last night, and I don't know how true this is.
But there was a teacher, and he said, I will give you a bonus point if you stand up and tell me or sing the song that your parents jam out to. You showed me this video. And there were kids, like, standing up and singing in sync or Backstreet Boys. Right. And then I wondered what our kids would be singing.
Ask them? No. Because it was they were in bed. But then I thought, well, what would my parents be jamming out to? So if you were in the class and had to stand up and sing a song that your parents were jamming out to, k, what would you go what'd you go to?
Elvis. My mom loved Elvis, so Elvis was always on, and she also always sang the song called Patches. But she we looked up the song. She doesn't know the right words or the right tune. She sings the song wrong, and she has forever, and we played it for her.
And she's like, that's not even the right song. We're like, no. No. No. It is.
You've been singing it wrong for a 100 years. Patches is a song by a man called Dickie Lee. It was released in 1960 2. Yep. And my mom sings that song more than any other song.
And she sings it incorrectly, and she's totally content with that. She's like, nope. That's how I remember it. She doesn't have access to that song today. No.
I mean, she does. She just never pulls it up. She's never listening to it. She's just singing in her brain. Incorrectly.
What can I do? It's always always. So that would be the one I think that I'd probably stand up and sing. And no one would know what you were singing because you'd be singing it wrong. I know.
What about your dad? My dad was a big Marty Robbins Oh, okay. Fan. So a white Classic country. Sport coat.
Yeah. Old school stuff. White sport coat and a pink carnation. Yeah. Yeah.
So my dad liked to sing that song. Okay. I would, I would have, somewhere in the realm of, like, Neil Diamond for my mom. Sweet. Big Neil Diamond fan.
She also liked the raspberries. The raspberries? I don't even know who that is. Look it up. I am.
Yeah. Lots of that. And then, my dad was was super into, like, Tom Petty and CCR and Scorpions and ACDC and Oh, your parents all that kind of stuff. Parents were in a completely different era than my That is correct. You are absolutely correct.
Old parents. Queen. A lot of queen on at my house. Trying to remember some of the other stuff, that we listen to a lot. Pink Floyd.
Yeah. There'd be there'd be a lot of that. Marty Robbins, Elvis, and Patches. Patches. Sung incorrectly.
We are gonna go on an adventure because, a couple of days ago, you and I went on an adventure. You went on an adventure. You really went on the adventure. I just kind of was there. You were my tour guide.
Yeah. I was more of the Sherpa to the, to the adventure. You were a good Sherpa. Thanks for guiding me through the desert. Alright.
Well, I've been on the adventure before myself, so I kinda knew a little bit of what you're That's right. For that adventure. This is all very vague. Get to the point. Let's get to the point.
The point is, the other day, you, had LASIK done. You got a you got a LASIK for LASIK procedure for your eyeballs. I did. And, you're still going through the, many, many eye drop phase. And earlier this morning, you said, and I quote, I'm really bad at eye drops.
Yeah. They don't always make it into my eyeballs. You gotta it's it we have a video that has done well for us online. A lot of people have seen this video of you not being able to put in eye drops and asking for help. And, and I've been putting eye drops in your eyes a lot lately Yeah.
And, hopefully, you'll get used to doing it yourself for a little bit, but that's that's part of the process. But the other day, you got LASIK. Now as part of the procedure, they they give you some medication to relax you. Yes. You took said medication Yes.
And then felt like you still weren't relaxed enough, and so they gave you a half a dose more of the relaxation medication, which just so happened to be way too much. It was too much. You were probably good with the first amount. Probably should've just waited a little bit longer, and then it would've been fine with the first dosage. But I was too anxious and said, I think I need some more.
Yeah. And they gave me more, and it was my fault. I have I'm not blaming them at all. No. You did this.
Much. You said I need and then you, remember nothing. I have no recollection of any recollection of the procedure. We don't know. We went home.
Apparently, you bought lunch. You were eating lunch. We went through a drive through, and, you were kind of in and out of awareness. And you were in the drive through. I'm ordering, and you said, where are we?
And I'm like, we're in the drive through. Like, hold on. Where are we? Like, I've taken you somewhere. It's mysterious.
We're just so as the day progressed, you went from, no memory to, like, in and out of sort of consciousness of awareness of what was going on. But then last night, you were hearing stories like it was the first time, and and I thought you were at least a little cognitive, but you were like, I don't remember eating lunch. Nope. I don't remember eating dinner. No.
I don't remember conversations it had. You don't remember sitting at the kitchen table with your cool sunglasses on looking like the coolest person in the whole room. It was cool. Thank you. Beck said that I ate my sandwich, and he said I was eating like a toddler in a high chair.
Yep. Meaning that I was dribbling everywhere. Just picking up, like, pieces of lettuce. Yeah. And he said at one point, you just ate a piece of bread.
Yeah. You ate a piece of bun, and I and and I had commented because you had still some sandwich left, but you were really, like, just existing, and you picked up a piece of bread and went, this is so good. And I went, that was a piece of bun. Yeah. So good.
I do remember in the actual surgery Uh-huh. They kept telling me, Chantel, you need to wake up. Can you see the red light? Hey, Chantel. Yeah.
You need to you need to pay attention here. I don't remember. Yeah. Yeah. You said you remember, like, the suction thing, and you remember a few of the things.
I did. But but you have you have no recollection. And then post surgery, you come back in the room. The doctor looks at your eyes and stuff, and you're like, I don't remember that. No.
Like, that happened? No. Like, yeah. You had a whole conversation. No.
I didn't. It's I I shouldn't have been given that many drugs. No. You know, you should not have taken, as many relaxation, pills as you did, and you only took 1. I've one and a half.
1 and a half. I felt great. Yeah. No. You you were completely not aware.
Bec said that at one point, you had gone to use the restroom, but he was like, gotta hurry up. Yeah. That's so cute. Message, and he's like, she's done eating, but I don't know what to do. She's going to lay down.
And I went, fine. Great. And then he said, I walked over to the sink to wash my hands. Right. Because you've been toddlering a sandwich.
He was kind of directing me, and then he said, keep going. Keep going. Down. And I just went Dropped your hands. Yeah.
Oh, hilarious. I wish you had taken some video. Do you? Yeah. Yeah.
I didn't think about it because I was too busy just taking care of you. So I wasn't like This is a lot of work. But, again, I didn't know that you weren't cognitive. Oh, I had yeah. No.
So now after you've come around and you're like, I don't remember any of that. I'm like, yeah. That would have been fun for you to see because you don't remember any of it. Mhmm. But I wasn't I wasn't there to film you.
I was there to take care of you. So I was doing my job. You said Someone else could have filmed you. You said I slept in those sunglasses? I don't remember that.
Yeah. You were you were having the coolest dreams in your cool sunglasses. I'm nothing but cool. Yeah. So, anyway, now, when do you need more eye drops, and are you gonna work on that yourself even though you're really bad at them?
I just did one not too long ago, and it went great. Hey. Good. So I'm probably gonna apply some more because I'm getting so good at it. Well, good job.
Way to go. Thanks. Congratulations. You. You're welcome.
I tell you What do you tell me? The things you find out about the people you think you know, and then you just you just you think you know a person. What's happened? Last night, I was laying out the clothes I prepared to wear today. Uh-huh.
And I, had my pants and, I picked out a shirt. And as I was taking the shirt off the hanger Mhmm. You said out loud, that shirt, and I said, what is wrong with this shirt? You didn't even wear it today. Oh, I did.
It's on. Oh, okay. I'm wearing a hoodie as well because it's chilly. It's November. But it's on underneath my hoodie.
I didn't mean to say that out loud. And, and this is where why not? Why did you why would you keep it a secret that you do not like this shirt? Because you like that shirt. Okay.
And it's fine if you like that shirt. And I said, why don't you like this shirt? And you said, it's just not that cute. It's just not my favorite. It's a beautiful sunset across the whole shirt.
I like the shirt. Exactly. And that's all that matters. But why don't you like the shirt? It's fine if I don't like it.
I'm not one of the best to wear it. What's wrong with the shirt? I just Is it the color? I just don't like it on me. Like an orange salmon?
Yeah. You don't like the shirt on me. Yeah. But you'd like it on somebody else. No.
No. That's what it sounds like. That's not what I meant. Real I'm real confused. What's wrong with the shirt or what's wrong with me?
Do I make the shirt look bad? No. I don't particularly enjoy that shirt for the coloring. Yeah. Because it's an orange shirt.
It should be a painting, not a T shirt. There you go. Wow. You think to know a person? If you like it, wear it.
I didn't mean to say my opinion out loud because I didn't want my opinion to affect your feelings on the shirt. Yeah. Because it doesn't matter what I like. If you like it, then wear it. Listen.
I have another shirt Okay. That I wear sometimes that someone told me looks like a hospital gown. I did not tell you that. And it's not the length of it. It's a normal T shirt.
It's just white, and it has little small, like, dark blue polka dots on it. Yeah. Little small dots all over. And someone said, that looks like a hospital bed. Didn't tell you that.
Let's be clear. I did not say that part. I know. I said someone did. I don't want I don't want to talk to you because I'm a jerk.
Never now. Right. Very, very seldom. So I guess this one goes in the very seldom section of the closet. I didn't mean to say it out loud.
Whole world is to impress you, and this shirt isn't doing it. So I need to find a shirt that's gonna just You know you know what shirts you can wear that I do like. You look great in the color blue. I always tell you that you look good in blue. Is it the orange?
Is it the fact that it's a sunset? Is it the palm tree? It's a nice shirt. I think I'm I need to go get one of those button ups with the yokes on it on the shoulders and lightning bolts. What?
I don't know what that is. It's a country western looking shirt. Oh, great. Do it. Here's the point.
I'll get it in blue. If you like it, wear it. It shouldn't matter what I think about what you wear. If you like it, wear it. The only thing that matters.
Josh. What you think about what I wear. I'm here to dress to impress. I like that shirt. It's a bright shirt.
Nope. It's going in it's going away. I'm sure there are lots of clothes I wear that you don't like also. Nope. I like them all.
No. Whatever. You told me a couple of years ago that the sweater that I was wearing had been in your life for far too long. You said that the sweater that I was wearing was at least 25 years old and that it needed to retire. You said that.
What? And guess what? Remember that. I do. Did you retire it?
Yeah. Yeah. We even talked about it on the radio. Oh, okay. It was probably time.
It was time. I give you a lot of, flack for that flack jacket of a sleeveless puffy vest you wear. That thing still shows up. No. I don't know where that is, quite honestly.
Bummer. I think you probably got rid of it more than me. I didn't. It's not getting into a donation box. It's not that fast.
How dare you? Have you heard of the soup test? Is this, is this one of those online trends where, you ask somebody if they would make you soup? Is that what this is? Like, you would ask me, like, hey.
Would you get me a bowl of soup? I asked I did this the other day to you, actually. You did. Well, this that's not like the soup test. The soup test is something different.
But what did I ask you to do the other day, and you did it? I don't know. And I was so happy. You passed that test. Well, thanks.
What was it? I don't know. What did I ask you to do? I don't So many things. I can't name 1.
Okay. The soup test is if you're if you're in a relationship and you don't necessarily like, maybe it's the beginning of a relationship and you don't know if it's gonna survive the test of time or if it's gonna be serious or not, you basically do something nice to eat as a gift. So you make somebody some soup or you make them banana bread or you make them a home cooked meal I see. And then you gauge their reaction. So a gratitude test.
Kind of. K. So if you were the person making the food and the other person is if they're freaked out and they're like, woah. This was a lot of effort. Okay.
Like, that's a big warning for me. A red flag. Yeah. Like, oh my gosh. This is so awesome.
How amazing and thoughtful and kind Yeah. That you took the time to do this for me. The not so it's a go. All signs are go. Why are you making touchdown hands?
Because it's a It's good. It's a field goal. Okay. I see. That makes sense.
So you make something, that takes a little bit of effort. Maybe not too much, though, like a soup. Open a can, throw it in a pan. No. Not not like that?
I hated you have some of this Yeah. Camel soup. I brought you some of this, hearty chunky soup. You might like that. Hearty chunky soup that you spent big bucks on.
Saying. Yeah. I paid $3 for this can. Wowza. Yeah.
And I made you a grilled cheese sandwich to go alongside it. See, now that's nice. Wowza. But then do you make that at home and then you just show up with it? I brought you soup and a sandwich, like, out of nowhere.
Kinda seems a little left field. You know? No. It's just a sign that people are I I mean, it does go along with the there is that there was that test on TikTok where people were saying, hey. Will you go Yeah.
Will you do this simple thing? Like, I thought it was something like get me a glass of water or something. It's something simple. Make me a hot cocoa or something. Yeah.
And they're like, sure. And if your spouse is like, no. You got legs. Go do it yourself. Yep.
Like, it's a simple task. Just go make a drink. I can't remember what I asked you to do. Yeah. I don't know.
And you did it. Because I'm a good guy. So many things. Oh, Josh. Just that you ask me to do things all the time.
And I and I try my best. And all I do is complain about how ugly your shirts are. That's it. See? And now full circle.
You're you're in a red flag relationship. I might be. I might be. No. I'm not going anywhere.
Today is world record day. I gotta tell you about another one. K. Told you about the lady doing push ups. Yeah.
1500 push ups in an hour. Yeah. Pretty unreal. Group of 9 college students at the University of Southern California made history by launching a rocket 89 miles above Earth's surface. What did they use to propel it?
They built a rocket. It's a new record for the highest altitude reached by an independent team. Wow. Their rocket, they call the Aftershock 2. It achieves speeds of up to 1150 miles per hour.
That's Mach 5a half on its way to reaching, you know, the record highest altitude. 89 miles Do they above Earth's surface. Do they have to have permission? To send something up in Yeah. The air like that?
Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Good question. I don't know the answer to that.
Like, if they're shooting something to a sir that's what I'm asking. What are all of these because clearly, you would want somebody to know that you were shooting something into the atmosphere. But who, yeah, who do you talk to? Yes. You generally need permission to launch a rocket even if it's an amateur rocket.
You must obtain a waiver of authorization from the Federal Aviation Administration in order to operate outside of specific operating limitations. So you would have to submit a certificate of waiver authorization form depending on the launch location and airspace involved. There you go. Did they get permission? I sure hope so.
I guarantee they did. I hope they did. I mean, it's a it's a University of Southern California. Of course, they got permission. Like, they they didn't just put together 9 college students, go, let's just launch Let's just go.
I'm sure they had to go through mission protocol, and they had to go through a bunch of different stuff to figure out how to launch a rocket 89 miles above Earth's surface. We, years years years ago, you and I were involved in a leadership training course. We were on opposing teams. Mhmm. And as part of one of our challenges, we had to make rockets.
That is fact. And I was so mad that day. Why were you mad? Because it was a competition. And as we all know, I am not competitive unless I'm competing against you.
Mhmm. And I knew exactly that you were gonna win this rocket competition, and I was so upset. During that week, you and I, our teams faced many competitions, and my team happened to be very creative bunch of people. Dominated. You dominated those competitions.
A lot of ways to make the competitions bend in our favor because there are rules, and then there are loopholes. And we were really good at finding the loopholes and competition. The rest of us know we'll play by the rules. We'll play by the rules. By the rules.
Teams. And and our team, at one point, said we're winning too much. We need to slow down. People aren't liking us. We need to stop.
Chantel is very vocal about not liking us. Every time my team won, it was like, are you serious? You guys are pretty good at building rockets too. Well, we we had a guy who kinda does that on our team. It helps.
Not cool. It's not my fault. I didn't build the team. We didn't know the challenges we were going into. We just had a creative mindset.
And what else did we have? A willingness to try. A little bit of confidence. I had all of that too. Team support system.
Had all of that too. I still lost. Well because I didn't have a rocket builder on my team, did I? No. I didn't have a rocket builder.
Just had a guy who Who knew how to build rockets. How to build rockets. We didn't have a guy who did that, like, for a job. He just he just knew, hey. This has a lot to do with a few specific things to make your rocket successful.
Let's do those things. And it worked out. Cool. Good for you. It worked out.
Did you let people know that you were gonna be launching your rocket? No. We were launching 2 liter bottles of soda 30 feet in the air. It wasn't like it wasn't like we were launching a real rocket 89 miles out of force. Get you in trouble.
Yeah. Who are you gonna call? Did you guys know that in 2012, there was some activity taking place? Yeah. In the woods.
There was a whole group of people launching 2 liter bottle rockets in the in the sky. In the woods. In the woods with water water and air. Can you even Did you know Brian May, guitarist for Queen? Queen?
Uh-huh. Rock band Queen? You know that? The rock band Queen. Maybe you've heard of that.
I have heard of Queen. Yeah. Brian May, guitarist of Queen. A PhD from Imperial College in London. He received this in 2 in 2007 in astrophysics.
He has a PhD in astrophysics. That's crazy. Totally way. Totally way. He completed a thesis on zodiac dust.
What's that? I'm a Pisces. What's that mean? Zodiac dust? Let's find out.
I wanna know what zodiac dust is. Brian May, tell me more about zodiac dust. Can you imagine? Okay. Zodiac dust is a collection of small particles that orbit the sun and scatter sunlight, creating a visible light phenomenon known as zodiacal zodiacal light.
Alright. I'm a Pisces. What's that mean? Brian May. Can you just be good at one thing?
You don't get to be good at 2 things. Josh Dobbs. Who? Who's Josh Dobbs? Oh, he was the quarterback temporarily for the Vikings.
After Kirk Cousins got hurt. Yeah. And he also rocket scientist. Was he? Yes.
He is. I think I remember that. Yeah. Guys, you can only be good at one thing. You can be good at anything you wanna be.
You can't be good at 2 things. You can be good at as many things as you wanna be good at. You can be good at as many things as you wanna be good at. That's true. Because it's not stopping you, Chantel, from being good at those things as well.
You just need to apply. I just need to learn more about zodiacal dust. That's exactly right. Somebody already knows everything about zodiacal dust. It's science.
There's always room for discovery in science. A collection of small particles that orbit the sun and scatter sunlight. How about it? Zodiac dust is so nice. I'm a Pisces.
You can't tell me what to say. It's my zodiac. We know. We've heard. I just think it's relevant information.
It is. It is always relevant, Josh. You're a Taurus. I am. We are smart.
Yeah. I know zodiac dust too. Look at that. Brian May, the guitarist from Queen, astrophysicist. Good for you.
And he's also a knight. Did you know he was knighted? He is knighted. Sir Brian Knight? Yep.
Brian. He was knighted by king Charles the third Yeah. Last year No kidding. For his services to music and charity. Sir Brian May, astrophysicist, knight, guitarist of Queen.
And, great hair. I was gonna bring up the hair. I was gonna bring up the hair. Yeah. He does.
There's a woman in Michigan. Her name is Isla Jean. Just one in the whole state. The whole state. Isla Jean is 97 years old.
She helped form Merrill High School's 1st cheer team 80 years ago. Wow. She now lives in a retirement home, and she wanted to be able to put on a cheerleading outfit one more time. So the school's current cheerleader surprised her and brought her a uniform to put on. That's amazing.
They plan to do a couple of simple cheers with her, but then said, can you I used to be a flyer. No way. Will you guys How old is she? She's 97. They're gonna they're gonna chuck her in the air.
She asked them to lift her up so that she could fly again. Wow. Thankfully, nobody broke a hip. And I don't know if she flew, but she was definitely lifted. They they are lifting her up.
Yeah. There are people behind her spotting her, of course. But she think you can be a flyer without having to be thrown. You do just have to probably be lifted and and standing. And if they're supporting her legs and she's got enough balance and core strength to hold herself up, she'd probably do it.
They did it. There she is. 97 year old That's amazing. Good to hear. Formed the school's 1st cheer team 80 years ago was able to fly one last time.
Fantastic. Isn't that great? That's a great story. I love it. I'm glad they were able to do that.
She's got a little pom poms, and she's standing up there. I bet all of her little retirement friends were like, Isla Jean, you're the bomb. Looking at the pictures. She looks very happy in her, in her cheerleading uniform. That's very fun with her pom poms.
How cool. Good for her. Yep. And they did get her on top of a pyramid. That's a big deal.
Did you see the picture of the old uniforms when she started this thing? No. There's a if you do an image search for 97 year old cheerleader, you'll see a picture of her, when she was in high school. Oh, really? Yeah.
And the cheerleader uniforms look kinda like leader hosen skirts. It's kinda funny. They've come in wide ways to say that they've changed a lot from leader. And and then you actually you see the one she's wearing, and not that much. Like, really, they you you think they've changed a lot, but really not that much.
Oh, I see the leader, Hosen. Holy moly. Yeah. But look at the neckline. Like, there's a shirt and stuff, but look at the same neckline today that they had, you know, 80 some odd years ago.
Good job, Isla Jean. Yeah. Way to go. Flying again. Yeah.
Making all your friends at your residence home proud of you. Yeah. It's pretty cool. Good for her. Well done.
Good story. There is a store in Portland, Oregon that some people claim sell garbage. Oh, I know what this is. I saw this yesterday. I was gonna I was gonna show you this.
It's kinda cool. The craft store. Right? It's called Scrap. Yes.
It's so cool. And it was founded in 1998 by a group of teachers who wanted to find a home for their leftover classroom materials. So they brought Oh, that's how it started. Materials to a resource center and left them on a table for other people to use. So the stuff that they have are like pop bottles.
Think about think about if you were gonna do an upcycled art project. Yes. That's exactly what it is. All the supplies. And I like the way that they do quantities.
Like, if you wanted to go in and they have a bin full of, like, bag clips. Like, maybe you're doing an art project with it or you needed some for something, it's, like, 25¢ a handful. So you just reach in and go, there's a handful. There you go. Alright.
25¢. They had yeah. You had bottle caps in there. They have all kinds of, like, upcycled supplies for craft projects cool. Art things and stuff.
It's really cool. I like the I like the idea a lot. It is a nonprofit organization, so they formed a nonprofit out of it. And I really think this could be cool. I wish we had something like this here because as I was going through my craft room yesterday going, I have I used to teach preschool, so I have a lot of that stuff on hand.
I don't wanna get rid of it because I know that somebody out there would be able to use it, and this would be perfect. I love this. I think it's a great idea. Creative reuse is what they are also known as upcycling or repurposing. Yeah.
It's very, very smart. I like that it it deals with a waste issue, but it also creates a very cool creative space for people to go like, oh, I need, like, 28 bottle caps. Where can I get bottle caps? And it it they got them. They got way more than 28.
They have buckets of them. Jewelry, beads, art supplies, buttons, old books, all kinds of stuff. Yeah. Old Really cool. CDs.
They've got old slides that you can I mean, all of this? This is so cool. What a cool scrap creative reuse. I think it's cool. I think it's very cool too.
Corks? Corks. You could get corks. Hey. Corks.
Magazines. They've got it all. Corks and magazines. Bottle caps. Bottle caps.
Bottle caps. Crinkle paper. Yeah. Cassette tapes. Use at your heart's content.
It's pretty cool. How about a would you rather this or that? About it. This is a Black Friday edition. Oh, okay.
Would you rather camp out overnight in front of a store for a Black Friday deal or have to fight your way through a mob of shoppers for the last item on the shelf? I would rather camp outside. Me too. Yeah. But are people still doing that?
I don't think so. I don't know. Be a big thing, and there was one Black Friday where you and I were like, let's go out late at night, get in some lines, check it out, see what's up. Toys R Us was still around. Yeah.
We saw a lot of people, and we felt like it was kinda icky. It was gross. I got the ick. So we went out home, and I said, I don't like this feeling that I have. And we didn't really kinda ever do the Black Friday thing again.
No. Now there are people you've got a friend who's incredibly passionate about Black Friday shopping. She loves it. She likes to find the deals. She likes to go get the deals.
She likes to go where all the people are, get out in the crowds, and do the same. Gets a thrill out of getting the best deals. I'm, no. Thank you. I don't like shopping, period.
Okay. I like shopping. Not shopping. To fight my way through a mob of people or camp out overnight in front of a store. No.
Thank you. I'd rather play pay full price. I have done the wait outside a store until midnight for, for a thing. Not Black Friday shopping. It was for a video game, and I did it for, like, 3 years in a row.
I did that for a book once. You did. Yeah. For, what, the last Harry Potter, wasn't it? I think so.
Yeah. I think so. But, anyway, here's the thing. Like, I I think there's a there's something fun about being in that community of people that are also enthusiastic about it. I don't like the, Doorbusters thing.
Let's open up a box every 30 minutes and watch people just grab at stuff. Yeah. I don't care for that. I like the idea of of a good deal. I'm all about a good deal, and occasionally you score a good deal.
But a lot of the Black Friday stuff hasn't really been that impressive to me. Well and now, like, there was door deals what do they call them? Doorbuster, doorbuster deals online last week. I snagged a couple of things last week online. I didn't even have to leave my house.
Right. It's not what it used to be. That's for sure. But I'll take the tent over fighting with people. Me too.
Yeah. Would you rather this or that? I've got some sad news coming out of Africa Oh, no. And the savannahs. Yeah.
What happened? Well, draft populations have plummeted. Oh. And they've plummeted so much that the US government is moving to add giraffes to its official list of, endangered species. No way.
Yeah. What's happening? Where are they going? Poachers. That's what's happening.
The US officials hope that by adding, giraffes to the endangered species list and underneath the endangered species act, they would become protected. They put this proposal out yesterday. It's the first time that drafts would receive protection under the law, and, it would restrict the import of draft body parts and products like rugs and jewelry and shoes made out of draft skin and stuff like that, which is contributing to their decline. Why is coaching still a thing? I don't know.
Can we just leave it alone? Do this anymore. I know. Federal protections for drafts will help protect the vulnerable species, foster biodiversity, support ecosystem health, combat wildlife trafficking, and promote sustainable economic practices. That's from the Fish and Wildlife Service director, director statement.
So, I mean, we gotta get that under control. Yeah. We do. Drafts are fascinating animals, and and I know like, we were at the zoo in San Diego, and I got to see them super up close. Unreal animals.
Unbelievable. That makes me sad. I know. Me too. I really like giraffes.
Yeah. I know. And I don't want anybody to poach any more animals. Me neither. So can we I'm just gonna ask nicely to let's not let's not do that anymore.
Yeah. I mean, have have any of you seen a 101 Dalmatians? Like, it's not a nice thing to do. Come on. Get it together.
Anyway, I'm glad that they're taking some steps. Hopefully, that helps kinda curtail this before it gets out of hand, and, and we can actually, you know, do something productive about it. That's what I'm hoping. Yeah. Anyway, that's it.
