Toxic people? Yes. Oh, okay. Well, there's one one on the list. Today's the day to let it go.
So, you know, inner inner Elsa and, let it go. Let it go. Yeah. Cold doesn't bother me anyway. Okay.
Alright. Your cold attitude, your cold shoulder, all those things. I think it might bother you if you're not ready to let it go. I just yeah. They're my friends.
Your friends, grudges, regrets, anger, and guilt? Yeah. Look at my collection. Look at my collection. Well, it is let it go day, so you could give it a shot if you want.
That's about all I gotta say about it. Okay. I will certainly try. Alright. Short intro today.
Let's just jump into the show. Jump in. Alright. Here we go. Oh, look here.
Looky looky looky looky looky. It's, it's the Tielors back in the studio is what it is. Back at it again. Yeah. We have, one of our billboards that says wake up with the Tielors.
It's always funny to me because I go, that sounds silly. Doesn't it? Yeah. Like, I like wake up class 97. I think, you know, name of the show is good with Josh and Chantel.
I think that's all good. Yeah. Wake up with the Tielors. Oh, that's fancy. Good morning, everybody.
Good morning. Thanks for waking up the books. The Tielors. Like, it's I like your jazz hands. Well, you know, every, every, family, TV sitcom family had, like, it's the Tanners.
Yeah. It's the Conners. Yeah. It's Severs. Right.
How many others can you name? The Winslow's. Oh, good one. What was Toolman? What was some improvement?
The, the the Taylors. Taylors. Yeah. The close to the Taylors. Yeah.
So that's that's what it makes me think of. Wake up with the Taylors. Woah. We need a we need a theme song. Do we?
Oh, Yeah. Like a sitcom TV song? Yeah. I can work on that. I will work on that and have that done here in just a few minutes.
Don't use AI, though. Well, no. That's, that's what I'm gonna do. Because You're more creative than just No. I understand.
I But but, that's what I'm gonna start with. You see? I understand that, like, I could be more creative, but, also, it's 06:00 in the morning. Yeah. And so I'm gonna do, what, a nineties, TV sitcom, TV sitcom theme.
Featuring. Yeah. We'll work on that. I'll work on that in a minute. Okay.
I don't need to do that in real time. No. No. No. No.
When we when we talk next, we'll debut the theme song Oh. For waking up with the Tielors. Okay. Just know that I'm not gonna love it the way that I would if you had just created it yourself. I understand, and I appreciate that.
I'll just half like it. Okay. Well, hopefully, it does a good job. It will be okay, but I like real creativity, not computer creativity. Okay.
Keep that in mind. I understand. I get it. Anyway, we'll we'll, we'll debut that coming up here in just a couple of minutes. Alright.
That's exciting times, I think. Sure is. We'll have a wake up with the Tielors, wake up classy 97, Josh and Chantel kind of, intro theme. I hope it's good. Are we gonna have some quirky character that comes in like a like a Kramer?
Yeah. It's gonna be Zoe Deschanel. Oh. Look at my bags. I'm so quirky.
I hope so. Okay. You ready to hear it? I I'm a little, a little nervous. I don't know.
I don't know what to expect. I haven't heard it. You haven't heard it. It has been created. It is a nineteen nineties sitcom style TV show theme song for wake up classy '97.
It gives you two different versions. So we'll we'll get a chance to sample two different kinds. We haven't heard it. I haven't heard it. It for the first time.
That is correct. Right now. That's right. Now it did generate them kind of long. Oh, yeah.
It will be long. Say that. It needs to be like a quick snappy, like, intro piece. Well, so it has a hook, and then it usually does a few verses. So think about, like, whatever happened to predictability.
Right? That was sort of the verse, but then days go by. That whole part was kind of the hook thing. Right? Yeah.
What sing song is that theme song is that from? Full House. Okay. But it was just the first one that came to mind. I just couldn't remember what that one was from.
K. Got it. Are you ready? I'm so ready. Okay.
Here's the well, we get two versions. So here's the first version. Oh, jazzy. Add it a little bit. Mhmm.
Mhmm. Oh. Wake up. It's a brand new day. Mhmm.
Josh and Chantel are here to play. Pronounced my name right. Yeah. Turn the dial and feel the glow. Feel the glow.
Yeah. Classy 97. The place to go. I like it. It's fun.
More knees. I'll bite you with a touch of flare. Josh and Chantel take you there. Okay. Alright.
Let I gotta hear version two. Now, it could be a whole different voice. It could who knows? Here we go. Totally different sound.
The first one. Alright. The first one has that going for it. Alright. Here we go.
Wake up. It's a brand new day. Josh and Chantel are here to play. Turn the dial and feel the glow. Feel like love.
Yeah. Classy ninety seven, the place to go. Yeah. It's not this one. I like the first one better.
This one feels like, like one of those, sort of dramatic teen shows. Yeah. Like, where they're gonna have, like, lessons they learn. And that's not what I'm looking for. Like One Tree Hill or Yeah.
Dawson's Creek. Those were like two thousands, but yeah. Like that where it's like, uh-oh oh. Like You're coming of age. Yeah.
I don't need I don't want the coming of age part. I want, like, the the wholesome family one. Now here's here's the, the issue. The the website that I used to do this, has a free version because I'm not paying for it. Way.
And so up all your freebies? No. I can I can do more, but, I'm using model 3.5, which is the free one? Their, pro version is 4.5, so it's gonna be way better. Well, yeah, but we're not paying for it.
Yeah. It's fine. We didn't need anything real. No. I know.
Just for funsies. No. I know. But I kinda like where it was headed with the, wake up, classy 97. We're on the air.
Good vibes and laughter. We're all, we always share. Mornings are brighter with a touch of flare. Josh and Chantel take you there. That's kind of a okay hook.
Who brings the touch of flare? Flare. There it is. I don't know, how you feel the glow. I when when it did that, I thought it's it's gonna try to rhyme with radio.
Right? But it didn't. It said, Glass ninety seven is the place to go. Okay. They both said that.
They both said glow and glow. Because it uses the same lyrics, just two different styles. Oh, I see. Yeah. It generates the same lyrics for both.
AI, you lazy. Yeah. I know. But I'm just as lazy using it. So I don't know.
We'll see. I'll maybe I'll generate, some more. I'll give it some different keywords and maybe see if I can, if I can get it to think a a little bit more for itself and be a little more original. Be more original, AI. Yeah.
AI. Come on. Come on. You've disappointed us for the last time. Come on.
Too better. Hey. Let's bring the flare. Flare. What rhymes with flare?
Cher. Probably on the air. No. Cher. No.
Wake up classy 97. We're on the air. Good vibes and laughter. We always share. Yeah.
Warnings are brighter with a touch of flare. Josh and Chantel take you there. It's a lot of airs there. Yeah. They're there.
One has hair, and one does nare. Oh, I don't Nare? I just came up with that on my own. No. Did you?
I don't nare my head. No. You don't. You don't. Okay.
Well, we tried. I think maybe, How rude. I can't believe you said that. Did you? Like, it wasn't creative.
Can't believe it. No. I just I was here for it is is what I'm saying. Not that it wasn't creative. It was it was too too quick.
You didn't give it enough time to too creative. Okay. That's it. We'll keep working on the theme song. We'll get better.
It'll be fun. We'll find a good one. You're workshoping with us. We'll we'll try a few more. We'll see what we like.
Maybe some will stick. We'll see. Alright. Let's, jump to some good news to get you going. Let's hear it.
Alright. This is, kind of exciting. There's a ring tailed lemur named Stumpy. Does he have a stumpy tail? I don't know.
I'm a find out. As we go along, we're gonna find out a little bit more about Stumpy. Stumpy just turned 39 years old. Stumpy. Yeah.
Stumpy. Do lemurs typically live? Stumpy is the world's oldest living lemur. Stumpy. That's a great title to have.
He now has a Guinness World Record. Come on. I just want one. Too bad. I've made it past 39.
No. You're not Stumpy, man. I am not Stumpy Man. You are correct. Terrible superhero.
Here comes Stumpy Man. So this is pretty exciting for the animal kingdom. Stumpy has lived at five, Sisters Zoo in West, Lothian, Scotland, I believe, since 02/2005. He's born in 1986 in England. And despite a few age related issues like arthritis, he's still going strong and a lot of care he gets from his keepers.
Stumpy isn't just the record holder as the oldest, living lemur. He's also a family man. He has fathered 11 children. He has 25 grandchildren. Stumps.
Yeah. Six great grandchildren and one great great granddaughter. At 39. Yes. Zoo staff say he celebrated his big day with his sons and a special birthday cake.
Wowza. Yeah. 39 years old. Lifespan of a ring tailed lemur, of a ring it gave me did you wanna know the lifespan of a Ring doorbell? No.
Ring tailed lemur lifespan, is typically, sixteen to twenty years. Really? He's living double the time. Yeah. He is.
Yep. Potentially longer in captivity, which is, which is what's working well for for a buddy, Stumpy. For all Stumpy. Mhmm. Well done.
So happy birthday, Stumpy. And Congrats on your world record. Yeah. Congrats on your world. Mhmm.
I've given you so many ideas. It's your own fault you don't have a world record. You're right. It is my own fault. It is.
Stumpy is good news to get you going. How are you feeling today? You were limping a little bit this morning as you were walking in. I'm pretty sore. Yeah.
I'm I'm pretty sore. I was just gonna pull up, my my map here. Hang on. Sore even after I used the massage gun on your calves for half an hour. My calves hurt so bad.
They hurt so bad. Like, just even sitting here, in this drafting chair where my feet don't touch the ground and I got this little ring thing to put my feet on. Yeah. Oh, they hurt. Like, it doesn't matter.
Walking, sitting, not moving, moving, it it's all bad. It's all bad. So here's the here's the deal. Over the weekend, we're off on Friday, went on a backpacking trip, with the, with the scouts, and, which is awesome. We we went, to Palisades Creek and did, all the way up to the Lower Lake.
We did the Waterfall Canyon. We hiked back out, over the course of, Friday, Saturday, and Sunday. Just got home last night, and I'm I'm in pain. I'm I'm in pain. Do you have any blisters?
No. Emery does. Emery is just trying to heal. Yeah. Here's here's what it was.
So first day was a little over nine miles of just walking with weight on your back. Who invented this? I know. How fun. Yeah.
Sounds fun. So, so nine miles, a little more than that the first day. About five and a quarter miles the second day. And that's just for hiking. That's not just walking around camp.
Like, all that stuff is additional. This is just the hiking portion. And then, Waterfall Canyon was five and a half about five and a half miles. And then, out yesterday, just about nine miles, 8.88. In one day?
That's pretty So what is that miles. What is that over the course? It's 17 it's 23. It's 24 something miles How much is it? I know, Emery's watch counts her steps, and I know she got over 25,000 every day.
Every day. Mhmm. That's pretty incredible. It's a it's so many. But she's also very, very sore.
Oh, yeah. You guys need a bath of Epsom salts. I think, that I need a hot tub. Yeah. Or that.
Yeah. Something. The calves are in in real bad shape. Oh. And here's what I know is gonna happen.
Over the next couple of days, like, my calves are gonna loosen up and because they're still they're tight. They're, like, locked up. And everyone's like, eat a banana. I'm like, get the potassium going. It helps with cramping.
I know that the pain is going to move through my body. As one area heals and loosens up, the next worse pain Will be becomes the worst pain. Which one? Oh, it'll it'll radiate through my legs and my back. I'm sure of it.
Is that typically what happens when you do hikes like this? Anytime I'm healing. Yeah. Like, the worst thing that the body needs to take care of will heal, and then it'll move to the next thing. But right now, it's my calves, and it's, like, painful.
It's painful. I massaged them for a very long time last night. I know. Too. And I appreciate that.
And the percussion gun is real nice, but they're they're so locked up. They are so locked up. So it's gonna be, it's gonna be the Ibuprofen train this morning. That'll be coming my way. And then, I'll I'll just, hop aboard.
And then, hopefully, that'll relieve some of the pain. Choo choo. And, then we'll go from there. But that's that's that. Oh, great weekend, though.
I was gonna say worth it? Love the nature. Love the outside. You didn't catch any fish? No.
Because the fish aren't hanging at that end of the lake. And I said I said and for future reference, I said out loud, if we camp at that end, I'm not bringing my fishing stuff anymore. That's twice I've carried it just for fun. And that's extra weight Yeah. That you don't need.
Right. How much extra weight is that? Not much, but enough that it if I didn't have to carry it, I'd appreciate that. Yeah. Unnecessary.
Yeah. At one point, you guys were packing your your hiking packs on Friday, Thursday, And everyone was like, I think I wanna take a book. And I was like, no. Yeah. She's glad she didn't.
There was no time for me. No time. And that's extra weight. You're not gonna want I carried a book once when we did a snowshoeing trip. And I went, why?
Yeah. Nah. I almost lit it on fire just because I wanted the warmth, and I didn't wanna pack it out. I don't want the weight. Yeah.
So that's that's that. But, like, all told, like, her pack, ended up weighing, like, 25 pounds. Mine was 32. So we packed okay. Yeah.
That's pretty good. Like, that's that's real decent. Like, that's I've I've gotten it down to a pretty good system. There were other people that had, like, you know, 40 pound packs that were not having a great time. Oh.
Yeah. What'd you pack? Too many pairs of pants. Too many too much food. I don't well, we did have a delicious dessert that got carried in a pack.
Here's the other thing. I borrowed out your pack to one of the, one of the other adult leaders that was with us. Uh-huh. And she carried, a delicious dessert, like, a a lot of heavy weight. She brought delicious pudding, cheesecake pudding dessert.
It was You've showed me a quick shout out. It looks awesome. So good. But, she has a smaller pack that she normally uses that she loaned out. And so when she borrowed your pack, it was bigger than hers.
So she had all this extra space, and she's like, oh, I could take more stuff. Oh, no. But then yeah. Exactly. And then she was like, wait.
Wait. Wait. What am I talking about? That's more weight. Like, I just have more space.
I don't need to fill it. So, she was having a little bit of a conflict with having substantially more room, but that also meaning more weight that she would have, to carry if she filled it. So, anyway, kinda funny. But she was very appreciative. Props to her for bringing dessert for all you guys.
Was so good. I never would have done that. I would have been like, no. Bring your own dessert. I'm like carrying dessert for you.
It almost makes the caffeine worth it. That dessert? Yeah. Yeah. Yeah.
I could eat that right now. You know how I am with pudding. You do like a good one? I do like pudding. You and Emery had been planning to go on this hike.
What? Oh, you just you sneezed a bunch, and now you have a little stuffy nose. I know. There's more sneezes to be had. Are there?
Okay. Sorry. Go ahead. Start over. Okay.
It was just it just caught me off guard. Sorry. You and Emery had been planning to go on this hike over the weekend. Right. And we were doing some shopping for your food and snacks and different things.
Yeah. And she said, how about some licorice? And you say, yeah. I want some licorice, but I don't need a pound of licorice. Right.
And she said, well, we're not gonna take a whole pound of licorice on our hike. No. I know. And you said, well, what are we what are we gonna do with the rest of the licorice Right. That we don't take?
And she said, have it at home. Have the rest of the pound of licorice at home. Sure. She couldn't understand. No.
I get it. Here's the thing. I there are certain licorice that I like and certain licorice that I don't like, and, bulk bin licorice is not high on the list. Yeah. That's pretty much what it what it kinda comes down to.
I agree with you. I like their I I found out I really like those gummy sharks. Those little blue gummy sharks are delicious, and we did not carry enough of those. So What makes them so great? I don't know.
They are good. I don't think I've ever had them. I don't think you'll like them. I don't think I will either. Why don't you think I'll like them?
Because sometimes you don't like good things. No. Or, like, the best thing. Sometimes you don't like things that other people like. I don't Like delicious meats.
No. I don't like meats. Right. That's what I'm saying. So these these little blue sharks, they might be a blue raspberry flavor.
Oh. Did you see? You're not gonna like good because you don't like good things. Blue raspberry, one, is a made up fruit, and two, is a made up flavor. Okay.
It's delicious. No. It's not. Yeah. Also, gummy cakes are not delicious.
See? This is why we said this is something for Emery and me. I'm probably back. He'd like them, but but it's not for you. Oh, were you guys just talking about me on the hikes?
Pretty much. A mom will hate these. Yes. That's exactly the sentence. And then we moved on and ate more gummy sharks because they're delicious.
So we didn't have enough of those. That's cute. I kind of missed could share together. Yeah. I kinda missed having some licorice, but I wasn't super sad about it because here's the deal.
If I was gonna take licorice, I would have to take the kind I like, which means I'm gonna have to buy a whole pack of that. Yeah. Then I'm gonna have to cut it up so it'll fit in a Ziploc bag or fold it all weird. And then, you know, I don't know how much I want. Like, maybe I only want, like, one or two ropes.
And you like the gross kind of licorice too. No. I like the good kind. You like the Twizzlers kind that tastes like plastic. No.
It's it's so good. Plastic. It's way better. I love snacking on plastic. It's way better than that Red Vines garbage you enjoy.
Red Vines is where it's at. Raise your hand if you like Red Vines. No one in the room. Not even you. There yeah.
Now it is. You didn't hold it very high. Two hands up. Way high. I see.
Alright. Well, listen. I didn't have licorice. End of story. I did have cinnamon bears, and I'm gonna tell you this about cinnamon bears.
Bulk bin cinnamon bears, low on the list of good cinnamon bears. Oh, no. Tastes like a bulk bin. Weren't that hot? What's the Great stuff.
What was the chewiness factor? They were good because they'd warmed up in the sun in my pack. Because they'd been in your pocket all day? Well, in my pack. You want a gummy bear?
Because they've been soft in my pocket all day. Yeah. It was it they were pretty okay on that factor, and I ate more than I should have. What's stuff on? That hot.
Gummy bear. What's your top tier gummy bear? Probably that bag that has the bear on the outside. Those are the hottest ones, I think. Are those made by Haribo?
No. Oh. I don't know what company they are. They have a big teddy bear on the front, and they are okay. Okay?
Yeah. Your top tier cinnamon bear is just okay? I haven't tried all of them. You know how I am about rating things. I gotta I don't start with a scale and then have to adjust later.
I put them all out, and I try them all, and then I judge. That's your number one snack too is the cinnamon bear. You like cinnamon bears? A chocolate covered cinnamon bear is good, but I prefer them unchocolated. But I'll take a chocolate one, and I won't be upset.
That's my oh, that's so good. I prefer a chocolate covered cinnamon bear over a regular cinnamon bear. You totally would. I would. Yeah.
Because I like the good snacks. Because you like chocolate more than you like the cinnamon bear. Yes. Yeah. So if I can get that chocolate I lick off the chocolate, and then I give the regular cinnamon bear to you.
That's awful. It never happens. Let it dry. Gross. Gross.
This never happened that I'm aware of. So gross. I'm known around the house as the prank master. Self titled. No.
Yes. Everyone calls me that. No. Everyone sort of will do a prank and then go prank master because you started the prank master thing. Which means I'm the prank master.
No. It's a it's a self given title. That'd be like saying that I'm the shoe meister. Okay. You can be the Schumacher.
I don't want to be. I'm just saying there's no reason for it. What's up with the prank master? Why'd you bring this up? Because I pulled a prank on my friend over the weekend.
Woah. It was a good one. Alright. Let's let's hear about because here's the thing. Sometimes they're okay.
Most time, they're pretty mediocre. But here we go. Let's hear it. I think you're gonna be surprised. Alright.
I'm ready. So I have this weird there's a weird thing that happens to me where no matter where I am, we'll be walking, I'll be outside, and I find toys. You have a a strange knack for this, and maybe they find you. I think so. Found a weird Mickey posing like that.
You found a Batman once. Yeah. You find random things, parking lots, flowerpots, some whale, a little toy whale that I found. I think they find me. That's insane.
And I've collected them. Mhmm. I always look around and say, does this belong to anybody? And then nobody claims it. And then I get sad for the little toy, and then I go, and then I up on a bench in the store, and you go, I found this.
Does anyone know where this belongs? Sometimes I carry the toys around in my purse, and then I'll pose them in different settings. True, and you'll take pictures. And send it to the family. This is true.
This is this happens. Batman character. He was holding a zucchini above his head once. This is correct. It was he's a very strong Batman.
Okay. So I was hanging out with my friend over the weekend, and we pulled up to a grocery store. We get out of the car, and I happen to notice a crayon, a perfectly blue, not been used No way. Crayon. And I went Not broken, full paper intact.
Yes. Perfect point. Yes. No way. Yeah.
Way. What a find. I know. And blue. I know.
Well, a little turquoise y. Okay. My point is good color. I know. Good color.
Not like a random color where you go, no one uses that color. Oh, sad. Okay. So I pick it up, and I go, what am I gonna do with this? And the first thought, I immediately she was getting out of her seat, seat, and I just threw it on our seat.
I was like Good one. I can't do it. Good one. Alright. Crank master in effect.
Here we go. See what I'm saying? A little mediocre. Nah. Crayon on your seat.
Oh, crank master. Okay. We go inside the store. We get our goods. We come back out.
Yeah. She sits down, and I kinda forget about the crayon. Right. And then I go, oh, there's you should you should get out. That's the thumb's on your seat.
Do you but that feels weird sitting on that. She goes, what? Yeah. What? Yeah.
Brooke messed up. What are you talking about? Uh-huh. And I said, does something feel weird on your seat? You're ridiculous.
She goes she goes, what? A crayon? Yeah. Does that go? Yeah.
Gotcha. See, here's the thing. I expected this to be weak, and it was. Is there more to the crayon? No.
Well That's it? I found the crayon later in my suitcase, and I went, no. You can't prank a prank master. Alright. I loved it.
You left it. It's hidden. Yeah. Oh, I also saw we've stayed at their house a couple of different times, and we've left little Sasquatch people around. This is correct.
I found one on the mirror. Did you leave one there? I left them. There are so many there. There are, like, 12 or so hidden in their house.
She says when she finds them, she gets so much joy, and then she'll just leave them there. Everywhere. But I happened to be laying in bed, and I looked up. I go, what is that? And I go, oh, that's a little Sasquatch we've left.
They're all over their house. Well, now she has a crayon. Oh, prank master. Yeah. There are there are other creatures that we've left at other people's houses that they don't know about either.
And then there's, there's always something like that, some sort of pass back and forth joke Yeah. Yeah. That's happened. Yep. But but we have, we've left blobfish Yeah.
At someone else's house Yeah. That they've never even talked about. Never found that. Because they don't know. And when they do, they're gonna go, what is this hideous, ugly, pink thing?
Oh, that's a blobfish. What are you? They won't know it's a blobfish. They're gonna think it's probably like a dead mouse. Probably.
Because that's more often what they see that looks like the little blobfish that we've left around. Prank masters. I know. Good one. Yeah.
Good job with the crayon in in the seat. It was so funny. Woah. I have a friend who is from England. Uh-huh.
And I hung out with him and his lovely wife over the weekend. Uh-huh. And he mentioned to me that he was very excited because he was at the grocery store, and he happened to notice that there was paper bags. Somebody had their groceries in a paper bag. Yeah.
And he was very excited. You can get those. Because he's never seen that except in the movie. No way. No way.
Really? Yeah. So he said in movies, you always see people with paper bags. Sure. And they're carrying their paper bags full of groceries.
Right. And he said, I've never seen that in real life until recently. Oh. I said, what did they do in England? And he said, well, they have paper bags, but they have handles.
Right. Like a shopping bag. Yeah. Always thought that it looked so ridiculous that you would see thing in your bag, like, around your arm. People carrying these paper bags, and he was like, what is the point of that?
Get a bag with handles. Yeah. It's a good point. I said, I remember they used to go to the grocery store, and they would ask paper or plastic. Sure.
What did your mom always say? Uh-huh. I was too busy figuring out how to fit my whole body on the bottom of the cart. I don't think I cared about what shopping bag we used. I don't think.
I was trying to remember too, but I don't I couldn't tell you. I was trying to figure out why my hands looked so gray from being on the bottom of the shopping cart. Did your whole body fit at the bottom of the shopping cart? I wonder if I could fit there now. You should try.
No. I know I can't. Why can't you? You know how ridiculous that would be? Do you go head first, or do you go first?
Went head first. Here's the problem with that. Like, I fear for my fingers. Like, it makes my body cringe thinking about getting my finger run over by that cart. You just have to keep your hands up.
No. I know. And I was good at that. But that was then. Okay.
Let's say Today, I would get run over. Stationary cart. Yeah. No wheels on it. The wheels have been taken off.
Why? Oh, because it's just a test to see how well you can fit your body in the bottom. Have they changed carts since I was so little? No. I think they might have I think they might have gotten smaller.
Time out. You said you went head first. Yeah. You didn't? And that You didn't go head first like Superman?
To get into it? What are you talking about? What are you talking about? I'm talking I positioned myself head first. You probably have to go feet first to get in.
To get in. So then you kinda, like, wheelbarrow your way in. They did change carts because I'm thinking, here's the deal. They did. I didn't do it on these newfangled deep shopping carts because you used to be able to sit crisscross applesauce under there because the it was real tall and the, and the the basket folded up.
What? Yeah. Oh. Yeah. You know what?
Yeah. They changed shopping carts from when I was a kid and when you were a kid. There were stores that had that, but not every store had that. Where we shopped had tall carts. John's had a tall cart.
I don't know what John's is. Oh, John's was the that was the corner grocery store. John's had it? And my uncle was the butcher there. Oh, good.
At John's? Yeah. Alright. His name was Doug. No.
I know. I've met Doug, but Doug was also the butcher at the Smith's. Right. That was after John's. Correct.
Did John's close? Yes. I see. You don't know. Yes.
It did. What'd they do with those shopping carts? I don't know. Yeah. Somewhere, there's tall shopping carts.
But you know what I'm talking about. I do. Those were the ones that I would ride on. I know because you could you didn't have to get in head first or feet first or anything. You sat down.
When you asked that question, poof, core memory. Okay. So you sat down. That was every cart? Every cart was like that for you?
Growing up? And you sat down crisscross. You never We only went to the same grocery store every time. We always went to John's until they closed, and then we went, what are we gonna do? Well, where's Doug going?
We'll go there. Yeah. That's where we went. Okay. Got it.
Makes sense. Anyway, back to the, paper bag thing. Yeah. He's right. They should have a handle, but I don't know why they never did that here.
I don't either. I don't even know I know of one place that has paper bags that you can get, but I don't think those are available. Can get paper bags just anywhere? I mean, you probably could, but I haven't seen them. I know a lot of places went to, like, reusable bags you can bring yourself Yeah.
Which is probably more cost effective for you then. Great. And guess what? I have my reusable bags in my the back of my car. Right.
Do I ever remember to grab them? No. Nope. No. We have that cool, freezer bag thing too.
We never bring it. No. I always forget. It's in the back of my car. I know.
So I'm like, easy access. And then I pull up, and I park, and I get out, and I go do my shopping. And then I go load my groceries and then I go, my bags. You wanna know the solution? What?
A two car garage. Why? This is just gonna take a second. But if both of our vehicles were parked in the two car garage and we had a shelf or some sort of hook between them with those bags on it, and so we went, hey. We're going to the grocery store.
Whichever car we took, we grab those and throw them in where we are, not in the back. They would be more top of mind, and they would be intentional. Okay. And then we'd go, oh, we're going shopping. Grab the bags.
Yeah. And then they'd be, like, in the front seat with you or, like, where we would be able to grab them without thinking very hard, but they're not. They're outside, out of mind. Yeah. I know.
So the solution's two car garage. We just need a two car garage. See? To remember our grocery bags? Yeah.
See? It will be better. Everything will be better. Two car garage fixes it all. Okay.
Get to work on that. Okay. I'll start building now. Where? Above the other one?
Yeah. I don't think so. Bad ramps. Double Decker garage. Yeah.
Never seen one of those. Yeah. No. Really. I went out to dinner over the weekend.
Mhmm. And we went to an Indian restaurant, which I love. I love Indian food. Me too. And he said, what spice level would you like?
One to five. And I said, a three, please, which is typical for me. That sounds about right. Yeah. I would do the same.
If they were like if it was a one, two, if if it was one, two, or three, I would do a two. Yes. If it's a one to five, I'd do a three. If it was on a scale of one to 10, I'd probably do somewhere around a five or a six. I feel like I'm a middle spicy fan.
And I've done three before on that same level, that spice level Sure. And been totally fine. At Thai food restaurants, a three. At Indian restaurants, a three. Yep.
Believe me when I tell you that I thought he mistakenly did a five. I was he came around. He was like, how is it? And I go, I I don't I don't think you got my spice level right, bud. Yeah.
And he Did you say this? Yeah. Go. He go because they always look at you like, are you sure? And I go Yeah.
Yeah. I can handle it. Right. Ugh. How dare you?
So if if the three was scorching you, what's the song? I don't know. But he I was trying to be, like, brave, and Yeah. I just I got a mango to help, like Yeah. Even the was not helping, and I was like, I couldn't drink water fast enough.
And he came around. He was like, is everything okay? I went, mhmm. It tastes great. Everything is great.
And he goes, do you want weird because your face is all red and sweaty. Do you want do you want some yogurt to kind of cool it down a little bit? And I went, nope. Yes. You do.
I could handle it. So when you brought the yogurt, was it good? A different waiter came up and asked, like, how is everything? He could they could see the pain in your face. Friend said, could we get some yogurt, please?
Yeah. And I said, how dare you? Okay. Did she make the same mistake, or was she No. In the clear on her face?
She was in the clear. I think she got a two. So she was fine. Yeah. But the three was a lot.
And I even, like I know. They gave me a big bowl of yogurt, and I dumped in half of it to kinda cool it down a little bit. And I still was like Oh, you you added it to the meal. Yes. You didn't just eat the yogurt Well, I did.
Go off your mouth. Took, like, a spoonful of it, and I was like, oh, that's nice. Hey. You got any ice cream back there? What else you got?
Big glass of milk? Yeah. That's sweet. It's nice. I felt so foolish.
And it was a three. It was only a three. I can't imagine. Your toes probably burn off at the ends if you have a five. I I don't know.
That particular recipe handle spice world. I know. Like, you like spicy food. I do. That's wild.
It was I couldn't even concentrate on conversations. My friend was trying to talk to me, and I said, hold on. I can't I can't even it's too much happening about breath over here. Just give me a minute. Oh, man.
I was, like, downing rice as quick as I could. Yeah. And the naan, I got naan, like Uh-huh. Was too much. It's too much.
So Guess what? Having that for leftovers? That was I have leftovers. Next question. Are you gonna, did you bring, like, a thing of yo plate?
What do you got going on? I don't know. I don't know what I'm gonna do. Do you think it's gonna be spicier, or, will it have cooled off? I don't know.
I bet it's spicier. Leftovers are always Yeah. But I way, way spicier. Really, I put in more yogurt after I took it home. I don't think that's gonna help.
I don't know either. But it's so fun adventure for you. So good that I might you even get? What'd you what kind of food was a vegetable coconut kirma. Oh, that checks out.
That's what you get. Yeah. It was That's your meal. It was so good. It was so good.
Yeah. Awesome. So, yeah, I'm gonna eat it because it was delicious. I just have to suffer through it. I go Oh.
Hey. You wanna know what I had? Not good backpacking food. Not it. More conversation about what I did this weekend in case you're not sick of hearing about it.
The thing. You and I this is the first time I'm hearing, like, any of this because you and I were not in the same place this weekend. I was backpacking. You were not in, in the backpacking wilderness with me. Right.
It was just Emery and I. You were hanging out with friends and and doing your own thing. So, so I have not heard what your weekend entailed. We got home, and you were like, how was everybody's thing? How was the backpacking?
Blah blah blah. And you shared a few stories, but I knew you were gonna, like, save stuff to talk about on the show. So I didn't wanna pry and be like, tell me about your whole experience. So I got a few stories, but I didn't get, like, the whole, like, meat and potatoes and stuff. So I'm excited to kinda hear about your weekend because I this is the first time for me.
Tell me more. Okay. Tell me more about your weekend. Well, my friend said, do you think it'd be kind of fun to do, like, a a hotel in Downtown Boise, and then we can just wander around and and do a little shopping and go out to eat? And I was like, that sounds super fun.
And then here's how you know your old fuddy duddies is because it we kinda went and did a little bit shopping during the day, and then we went to this really cool bookstore. Mhmm. And it's called Oldspeak. Okay. And ordered a cup of tea, and it was super, like, the best way to describe it was grandma core.
Oh. Like, it was very decorated like a Like grandma's house. House. And it was so relaxing. Music boxes No.
Knickknacks, tchotchkes? No. I mean, there were some tchotchkes, but it was mostly, like, some older couches and some lamps. And no. But that would have absolutely been perfect.
I've got one you could have taken with you. It would have been awesome. Would have been awesome. Bring your own Afghan. It would have been so cool.
And there were, like, people that were just visiting, and then there was people that would come and just sit down with a book. They had books that you could read, or you could bring your own book. So people were reading, and people were visiting, and it was just like this relaxed, quiet place. I had a cup of huckleberry tea. Oh, fancy.
Very Idaho. Very Idaho. Idaho. It was lovely. Yeah.
And then we ended up sitting there and talking there for hours and hours and hours. Oh, sweet. Finally, I was like, I'm kinda hungry. And she said, yeah. Me too.
And then she goes, do you still wanna get a hotel? And I said, no. And she said, do you wanna go out? And I go, no. Yeah.
I would I would rather just go back to your house and put on my pajamas. Alright. And she goes, yeah. Me too. And that's what we did.
Well, there you go. Old people doing old people stuff. Look at you. I was so nice. And you were there for hours.
Hour. So here's the thing. I have been, with with you and your friend in Boise before, and you guys go, hey. We're gonna run down and just get, like, a little summer drink. We're going to the little drink station, whatever.
And then four hours later, you come back. Yeah. I go, where have you been? You're like, well, we just had a drink, and then we we're talking. And then all of a sudden, it was lunchtime.
Oh, really? We kinda did that. We went out, earlier in the morning, like, to have a little bit of a, like, brunch, lunch thing and spent hours at that place and then spent hours at this place. That's great. I'm I'm happy for you.
That's awesome. Yeah. It was lovely. Yeah. And I want one of those places here.
So somebody Open a gramacore. Yeah. Tea lounge shopping? Oh, okay. Yep.
Okay. Alright. I don't want the responsibility, but I will give you so much business. I see. You wanna be a patron, not an owner?
I will be the your I will be your best patron ever. Okay. Well, you heard it here. Open up a little grandma core shop, and all the Chantels in town will roll in. Yep.
Some huckleberry tea. Yeah. I'm in. Okay. They had peppermint tea.
I like that too. I I was having a hard time deciding on teas. Settle down. It's okay. You did show me a picture of the little timers because it had, like, like, a steeping method that you had to let things happen in, and so it had little sand timers for when each step was supposed to happen.
Beautiful little platter. And when he presented it to me, I both my friend and I go. Fancy. Yeah. And then, it was kind of a build your own.
Yeah. It was awesome. I loved it. Well, good times. It was the best times.
I was watching a video, and it was a woman who had accidentally sat on a kid. The kid wasn't injured. Yeah. No. It was like a mattress store or something, and she was trying out different furniture.
So I think they were in an airport. Oh, it was just a normal seat. Is that what it was? Yeah. I thought it was a furniture store.
In my bed, the kid was laying down on the furniture store and then got sat on. I think it was just a bench, and she the kid laid down, and she happened to back and sat on him. On his head. Like, right on his head. I mean, look.
The kid was shouldn't have been laying down. Right? Like, it's this is a sitting place, not a laying down place. Yeah. But she should also I don't know.
I get it. Whatever. Check where you're sitting. Okay. So then she's immediately embarrassed.
Yeah. And she touches him on the back and says, I'm so sorry. I'm so sorry. Both of my kids, when I showed this to them Yeah. They both freaked out.
They both freaked out and said the worst part of that whole video is that she touched him. And I go, like, sat on him. Yeah. And they go, no. No.
No. They go, people always do that where it's like, oh, how are you? Or, oh, thank you so much, where they touch you on the arm or they touch you on the shoulder. And both of my kids, one is 20, one is 15, go, that's the worst thing. It's gross.
Yeah. It's cringy. Yeah. We don't want people touching us. Right.
And I go, but it's just like a nice, like, comforting, like, I'm sorry or how are you doing? Anything. Like, it's comforting. And they go, nope. No.
It isn't. It makes me feel more uncomfortable. And I wanna know, is this all kids, or is this just Just our kids. My kids. Yeah.
My kids. Do we have do we have strange kids? I don't We might have strange kids. I don't think we do. I think we do either.
Is it's it's We're a I'm a little, like, an over touchy family, but we say goodnight. Hug and some but that's us. That's we're not strangers. Right. Like, I'm not some random person who's going like, hey.
How's it going? Or even just an acquaintance person who touches your arm or your shoulder and goes, hey. How are you? Or, hey. Sorry.
I sat on your face. Yeah. Sorry. Your head is a weird shape now. My bad.
I mean, that poor kid. I know. The kid had to be embarrassed. Right? He was very embarrassed, and he immediately sat up and kinda, like, pretended like it didn't happen.
He was like, if I just ignore it. But the lady and the other two people she was with who clearly saw it happen and knew what happened were in hysterics. They were laughing, embarrassed and laughing about it. Like, oh, can you believe that just happened? I sat on that kid's head.
Which would have been something that I But here, like, the timing for it to happen, you're watching the video, like, she's, like, I mean, in mid seat when he lays down. Like, everything had to happen at the exact right moment for his head to get sat on. Like, it's it is quite the video. It is quite the video, but I was just floored that my kids were like, nope. Don't touch me.
Don't pat me on the back. Don't touch my arm to say, hey. How are you? I was trying to see if I could find the video, like, just by googling something real quick, but, no, I can't. Oh.
But that's alright. Yeah. It's okay. Yeah. You've seen it once.
You don't need to see it again. Yeah. How do you feel when somebody touches you to be like, hey, bud. How's it going? Just on the shoulder?
Yeah. I, Hey. How are you doing? Do you feel awkward, or is it, like, a comforting? Depends on the person, I guess, for me.
I think that's true. I think there are times where I like, someone will try to give me a firm handshake, and they'll hold on tight or they'll grab my elbow in addition to the hand. I hate that. Like that either. Don't do that.
Don't try to pull me into you while while you're shaking my hand. Like, you don't. No. There was a gentleman who did that to me not too long ago, and I said, no. You're not gonna do that.
I don't like that. Yeah. No. I don't like a I don't like a, like, a power control type thing like that. Like, the handshake's all you get.
So hand off my elbow, bud. Well, a handshake is kinda weird anyway, isn't it? Like Like, it was it was just a, hey. Nice to meet you kinda thing. Just wait.
I wasn't wave. Wave. Hey. Nice to meet you. Put your arm up to wave, like like but don't bend your elbow at a 45 or at a 90.
Bend it at, like, barely, maybe a 45, closer to 30 up above your head, But then don't move your wrist or your elbow to wave. Only move your shoulder. That's the way to wave. I just I can't even do it. I can't Put put your arm up higher.
I did. Up higher. Okay. Up higher. You're still way too much angle.
Take that angle out. Go higher. Higher. Higher. Now just move at the shoulder.
There it is. Yeah. That's what I'm saying. Hey. That's a wave.
Stupid. I'm doing that from now on. Hi. It's it's a cartoon wave. I won't I'm not gonna shake hands anymore.
No. You shake. And if somebody reaches their hand out, you just go, oh. Immediately up. Oh, and then wave it at the shoulder.
Nope. Too much elbow. No elbow. Just shoulder. You got that practice.
I can't do it. Higher. Higher. I'm open. Go higher.
You really gotta get it up there. I know you do. So there's almost no angle on the elbow. K. Keep going higher.
I am so high. Your shoulder. There it is. Good job. Would you rather?
What? Would I rather what? Would you rather This or that? Paddleboarding. Oh, okay.
Stand up paddle boarding, I assume you mean? Yeah. Okay. Or zip lining through the trees. Alright.
I know my answer. Go ahead. What are you picking? You're gonna pick zip lining. I didn't ask what am I picking.
I asked what are you picking? I also am gonna pick zip lining. Okay. I'm curious to know why you're gonna pick zip lining. Because I don't stand on a paddle board.
You can sit on it. You don't have to. I just wanted to make sure I understood when you said paddle board, you weren't talking like the one you hold on to and kick your feet. Above and A kick board? A kick board.
Yeah. Or the one you put under your chest to help you float while you're learning how to swim? Yeah. A paddle board? I just wanna make sure we're talking about the same thing.
You're talking about going to, like, either a river or a lake and having a paddle board, a stand up paddle board that you're on with the big paddle. Correct. And you're moving around. Whether you're sitting or standing, you're just floating about. Hold up.
Is it what kind of body of water am I in on a paddleboard? Moving water? How about a lazy river? Well, that's what floating places like Big Springs is. It's a big nature lazy river.
So you can paddleboard down the lazy river or on a lake if you prefer. I wanna zipline through the trees because I think that would be more fun. You've never done that? I have not ever done that. I've ziplined before, but not Where did you zipline?
Oh, with the scout thing. Well, and at camp summer camps years and years and years ago. But it's just ziplined. Yes. But just a one shot?
Yes. You haven't done the real zipline thing. The real zipline thing is awesome. Yeah. I know.
And I haven't done it, in The United States. I did it in Costa Rica through the, canopy. Uh-huh. It was unreal. I wanna do it.
Unreal. It was so cool. I wanna do it. Platform to platform to platform, zipping around the jungle or the rainforest. Oh, it was so cool.
I'm kinda scared, but I still wanna do it. Well, we don't have the rainforest here. So, I know there are a few around. I've never done it here. I haven't done it since I was in high school.
It's been years and years, but I had a blast doing it. Let's go. Okay. Somebody knows somebody. Yeah.
I know. Let's go with the zipline. I'll do it. I know too. I would like to.
I think it sounds great. Let's go. Okay. Would you rather listen to that? You and I, just tried a new cookie Yes.
From Crumbl Cookies, that singer Benson Boone has partnered up with, with Crumbl to make. And, well, we tried it, and, there is still kind of a little bit of cookie behind me. So I just wanted to, sorta I'm gonna post the video up of us trying the cookie and showing off the cookie. But Benson Boone's Moonbeam ice cream cookie, has been released. And, what'd you think?
What'd you think of the Moonbeam Ice Cream Cookie? Why is it called Moonbeam Ice Cream Cookie? It's part of his, new song. So it's it's part of the lyrics of his of his new song. I see.
And, Benson Boone, also does that, Beautiful Things That I Got song. You know what I'm talking about? I call that the yelling song. It is the yelling song. It is there's a bit a bit of yelling in there.
There's a bit of yelling It gets a little loud, and I go, hey. Settle down. Alright. So here's here's the first thing that I noticed about the cookie, and and I'll start and you chime in when you want. Okay.
The Benson Boone cookie, which, again, is called the Moonbeam ice cream cookie. It's ice cream on top. That's why it's chilled because you were you're a big fan of a warm cookie. This one happens to be chilled, because the the icing is is cold like an ice cream. Yeah.
I didn't know it was ice cream. Yeah. Yeah. Does it yeah. The look.
Let's talk about the look of the cookie. It's like a chocolatey Oreo kinda cookie base, and then on top is the icing, and then it's got some different kinds of, what is it, lemon and raspberry or Berry. Yeah. Blueberry and lemon. And marshmallow.
Okay. And then there's those sweet white drizzle Yes. And then a sprinkle of cookies and cream. More cookies on top of cookies. I didn't care for it.
I did. I cared for it a lot. There was a lot of flavors Yes. Working against each other. I feel like they were complimentary.
I like the taste of here's the thing. If I was gonna make an ice cream and I was gonna throw some Oreos on top of the ice cream, and then I was gonna throw some Fruity Pebbles on top of the ice cream, that's what that tastes like. And I would do that. Yeah. But I have done that.
You wanna know what it's missing? What? Caramel sauce. Oh, bro. That's way that's gonna be way better.
Then I would say this is a bowl of ice cream I would make and eat, and it would be amazing. Yeah. That's it wasn't for me. This is not my thing. I didn't care for it.
I did I did enjoy it. I never typically go for anything cookies and cream. That's true. Okay. So after we finish the hike, we stop at the at the square ice cream place.
It's kind of a tradition. Something to look forward to as you're hiking eight and a half miles out. You go, at least there's ice cream at the end of this thing. Yeah. So we get to the shop.
They've got a bunch of different flavors. Huckleberry. I did not choose huckleberry nor did our daughter choose huckleberry. You chose cookies and cream? I chose, yeah, just simple cookies and cream ice cream.
I got one scoop of cookies and cream. I'm good to go. Okay. Good for you, bud. Yeah.
You had you had huckleberry on the brain. You said that's the one you would have picked? The one I would have picked for sure. Okay. I mean, they have lots of flavors.
They had, moose tracks. They had grizzly tracks. They had something called the Yellowstone mudslide that I made a great joke about. You can imagine. And then, and then I went, no.
I'll just have the, the old cookies and cream. That'll be good. Yeah. So you were all in on this cookie from the get go because it's a cookies and cream base. And I I like the Benson Boone cookie.
I do not. No. Shocking. Opinions. Opinions.
That's what's up. That's what's up. Alright. On that delicious note, I'm gonna eat the rest of your cookie you left behind Go for it. And go to a meeting.
