This is wake up classy 97, the podcast, a replay of today's full show. It's Josh and Chantel, and it's Monday, October 28th. On today's show, I want Josh to be the text message between my stomach and my brain. I'm not gonna do it though because that makes the most sense. It doesn't.

You should just, convey when you're hungry. Would you No, Josh. Our daughter was not interested in my cool story even though it was very cool. Yeah. I know that.

I mean, it's a cool story, but But I get it. You know, I kept doing other things. To do. Yeah. We play Nate the movie villain.

Josh is pretty good at it. Well, we'll see. We'll see. No spoilers. Oh, it's fine.

Josh is owed 6 and half minutes of back scratch time. And it's about time you recognize that. You are not owed any of that. You owe me and a half minutes minimum. You owe me some back scratch time.

Yeah. Right. We have a broken washer. It's the washer, Blues. Our kids think we are helicopter parents.

I don't think so at all. They don't know nothing. They don't know nothing. There was a mystery phone number in Josh's coat pocket. Yeah.

I can't wait for you to find out who that number belongs to. I'm working on being an active listener. How's it going? So good. Okay.

You missed a joke in the show. I did? Yep. After we talked about it, I dropped one in, and you just completely missed it. So it's going well.

Oh, no. Josh works really hard on the Halloween costume, and our daughter thinks it's mid. Yep. I don't like a lot of chicken, but I also don't know I also don't know how to say no thank you. You're a people pleaser, and you don't like a lot of chicken.

And Josh had a delicious glass of cold milk and will not stop talking about it. I stopped talking about it. Thanks for checking out the show. Real quick.

It's a little bit loud. Yeah. I was, I was ready to be loud on Monday. Yeah. You're here.

Yeah. You are here. Are you here with me? A little bit. Okay.

Well, welcome. Way. I'm about 20% here. 20%. Maybe 50.

Well, I grew quick. By the time we get done with, you know, going through the national days and the global days and everything, you might be a 100%. I might be. Let's see. Let's get a gauge now.

We're at 50. Yeah. 47. Oh, no. We're we're wavering.

Alright. It's international animation day. I like animation for a lot of reasons. Tried to do animation once. I took some animation classes.

Do you remember that? I do. Yeah. I do. Where are we at?

50. We're back to 50. Yeah. Alright. It's fine.

K. It's National First Responder Day. Hey. Thanks, 1st responders. Big salute to you.

So much. That's a huge deal. Doing jobs that a lot of us would not be able to do. Yeah. Many of them.

Like, most of the jobs, not everybody is even capable of. So, thank you very much, 1st responders. Wild Foods Day. Talking about, like, raspberries that just, you know, you go Grow in the wild. To grow in the wild.

Now you haven't, ever gone on a long hiking trip with me. Mm-mm. I'm not a big raspberry guy, but I can spot the raspberries. Really? And so, yeah, when we were hiking in Yellowstone a year a little more than a year ago, there was a patch of wild raspberries.

And, and I was, oh, hey. There's one. There's one. As we're hiking down the trail, and the people behind me were loving it because they were like, yes. This guy is finding all the raspberries.

About huckleberries? I've never gone huckleberrying. Huckleberrying? Huckleberry picking. Shame.

I'm not like look. I know they're a big Idaho thing, but okay. They're delicious. Yeah. They're alright.

Well, good job. Raspberry hunter. Yeah. So it's wild foods day. Plush Animal Lovers Day.

Now you love a stuffed animal. I do not, actually. I really do not. I've heard otherwise. I hear you.

I've heard you have a collection. No. You don't? Nope. You don't?

You think they're dust collectors. Yeah. Dust mites live in those. No. Here's the thing about a stuffed animal.

You look at it and you go, oh, it's so cute. And then it goes in a basket or in the corner, never to be played with again. Okay. Stuffed animals. Alright.

I don't like them. Chucks and pearls day today. I have chucks on today. You need your pearls. I don't have any pearls.

It's chucks and pearls day. It's National Chocolate Day. Now this thing comes around once a month, I think. Chocolate day. People are like, no.

I like chocolate a lot. I need more of that. National Immigrants Day, Pomegranate Festival as well. So Pomegranate Festival. Yeah.

Time to harvest them. Have yourself some pomegranate. I don't even know how a pomegranate grows. How does a pomegranate grow? Like, on a tree or something?

Is that what you mean? Yeah. I'm waiting to hear. I'm looking. Oh, alright.

It does grow on a tree. I assumed. Shrubs are small trees that are native to the Mediterranean and the Middle East. How about it? Where are they growing all the ones we get at the grocery store?

Couldn't tell you. Couldn't tell you, Josh. Yeah. It's just on a tree. Look at that.

Wild pomegranates. That would be cool to see, wouldn't it? Somebody looked at fall off and bonk you on the head? I don't know. I hope not because they're hard.

Somebody saw a pomegranate and said, I wonder what that tastes like. As with all things. Right? Somebody saw a pineapple and said, how do we see what's inside that? Yeah.

Oh, well, that tastes nice and didn't kill me. I guess I'll keep eating that. That's yeah. Who's that guy? Oh, he didn't make it.

Don't eat that one. Eat that one. Don't eat that one. That one makes you not alive. Well, hey.

Good morning. It's Josh and Chantel. Happy Monday. Hello. Where you at?

I'm I'm about a 60. It's climbing. Oh, okay. It's climbing. Alright.

Good deal. You think that I get hangry sometimes? Sometimes. It's an accident. Time, but no.

I know it is. Thing. Yeah. Not like real. It's real.

I know. I've been on the receiving end. I know it's real. Your stomach says, hey. You have low blood sugar.

You also have low serotonin, and all of this combined makes people hungry. It's like a text between 2 friends. Oh, is it? Is this what they say? This is what they say.

It's a text between 2 friends. When you're hungry, your stomach sends you a text to your brain that says, feed me. And if you don't respond fast enough, by eating, those texts get more and more frequent until your blood sugar is like, we're out of control. You gotta feed us. Yeah.

It checks out. It's called gut brain axis. Your gut brain axis. Brain axis. I'm glad they, have a real name for it that isn't a text message from your stomach to your brain.

That's what I'm gonna be using from now on, though. I hope you know this. Well, they're just trying to make it make sense to To dumb people? Not no. To young people.

Young. Man. What? Nothing. Next time I get a little bit hangry, I'm gonna say, bro, I've been sending you texts.

You gotta respond. I've given you all the warning signs. You're gonna say this to me? Yes. Yeah.

No. I'm not the connection between your stomach and your brain. Yes. You are. No.

That that exists within you. What exists externally is you politely saying, hey. You know what? I'm feeling the I'm feeling the hunger, and here's what I want to eat. And I'll go, great.

Let's make that happen. Not, anybody else feeling hungry? I'm not gonna I'm not gonna start making dinner if nobody else is feeling hungry. I'll just make a snack. That's why I have to ask that.

Anybody else? Anybody else hungry? This is your first warning. Uh-huh. Yeah.

Start to Exactly. Until you start to really break down. Right. Because it's about to get wild. Somebody give me a snack.

So here we have, the Spirit Halloween store, which, we've been to in there. Yes. They always ask you when you check out if you'd like to donate to their, spirit of children fundraiser. And, they raise money and organize fund visits to children's hospitals around this time of year every year. Yeah.

And a group, from Spirit hosted a Halloween party for young patients at Providence Children's Hospital in El Paso, Texas very recently. Of course, they brought the costumes because they have that. They did pumpkin decorating, treat bags, celebration kits. They brought a lot of joy and laughter to the children. Yeah.

Yeah. Kimberly Scott is one of the company leaders. She said the smiles on these kids' faces would it just makes a world of difference. Of course. They started his mission in 2007, and since then, Spirit of Children has raised over a $127,000,000.

Wow. Isn't that crazy? That's awesome. And they do Straight joy to children. That's where it belongs.

That's exactly right. They've, they have partnered with over a 160 different hospitals in the US and Canada. This year alone, the goal is to raise $17,000,000, which will keep these events rolling through the years, years years to come, and will continue to make hospitals less scary for children and families by making them, not so scary at Halloween time with fun costumes and stuff. I think it's cool. Cute.

Yeah. Good job, Spirit of Halloween. Yeah. Spirit of children is the, the fundraising arm of Spirit Halloween. I think that's great.

It is great. Good news Good story. To get you going. I was talking to Emery. She was out on Saturday with some friends.

We were out doing our own thing. And then as we reconverged at the end of the day, I was trying to tell her the events that happened during my day. She told me all about her day, and I said, oh, listen to what happened to me. And I was trying to tell her the story. And as I'm telling her the story, I could tell she's half listening.

She's half walking away. She's losing interest. Yeah. And I said, where are you going? Was it a riveting story?

Was it I thought it was. Worthwhile? I thought it was. What was the story about? It was about I don't even remember.

Oh, it was so good? I couldn't tell you. It was so good. I couldn't even remember. I was excited to share the story.

K. And she's walking away, and I go, where are you going? And she goes, oh, I thought I'd just go take a shower. And I said, oh, in the middle of my story? And she goes, well, it's a cool story, but I just I'm I'm over it.

Even pretend. Yeah. Well, that's funny. The amount of times I've sat and listened to Minecraft story Sure. Or Barbie story Yeah.

Or Dora the Explorer or anything that was of interest to those kids. Right. And they can't even be bothered to listen to my story. Was it a long story? No.

I've been on the receiving end of a long story where I go like, is this still going? From something that I've told? A story that I've told? Sometimes. Oh.

Oh. I don't think I was long winded. Am I long winded? No. Well, sometimes.

I mean, it's cool. I just wanted to be part of the gang. That's all. I just felt like I was being a little bit. Story.

No. I could see how there are times where you've you've nodded and went, uh-huh. Oh, wow. To you? Mhmm.

Yeah. I have done that. Yeah. Okay. Oh, wow.

And you go like, you don't care. So I'm just gonna quit telling the story. Oh, just list just tell me. No. It's not that anymore.

I listen, but, yeah, sometimes it does get a little bit long. Yeah. Because you start talking about truck parts and I don't just live my life talking about truck parts. Fishing parts. Nope.

Probably something that happened during the day, and I'm telling you about it. No. You're like, no. I don't wanna hear it. I don't wanna hear about some adventure you went on while I was doing my other job and you were at work if something happened.

I I just I'll listen to the adventure stories. I don't know. I would. I would. I like those ones.

I would. Those are the stories I like to hear. I mean, they're cool ones. I mean You know? It's cool.

Yeah. It's a cool story. Got cooler things to do. But have you ever had a shower? Because that sounds better right now than this.

So I'm gonna out of here. Sneak on out. Joy, telling your story, though. Check-in when I get done. Maybe somebody's listening.

Yeah. Or not. Maybe. It's a cool story, though. Josh, we're gonna play a quick game.

We're gonna play a game? Yeah. It's called I give you the villain, you tell me the movie. Alright. This, this sometimes works.

Let's see if let's see if I can do it. Do I need a pen and a paper or anything? I don't think so. Alright. I have one anyway.

Alright. Chuckie. Child's Play. Jason Voorhees. Friday 13th.

Michael Myers. Halloween. Leatherface. The chainsaw massacre. Pennywise.

He's it. Freddy Krueger. Nightmare on Elm Street. Hannibal Lecter. Silence of the Lambs.

Jack Torrance. No idea. The Shining. Oh, okay. Yeah.

All all yeah. Okay. That's, all all work and no play makes Jack and Doughboy. You got it. Jack Thorns.

Norman Bates. Psycho. Samara Morgan. That is, The Ring. Ghostface.

Scream. Look at you. Oh, let's go. Once I just did 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10. You got 10.

10 out of 11. This one's pretty obscure. I'm gonna ask you this one too, but I don't think you'll know this. Annie Wilkes. Annie Wilkes.

Is that, one of, like, the conjuring or something? I have no idea. It's Kathy Bates from misery. Oh, I did not know that was her name. That's a good that's a great movie.

I haven't seen that movie in a long time. Not so great if you like walking. No. It's not. If you're a big fan of walking, not a movie for you, you know, or having freedom.

I'm impressed. Being able to move about. You did great. Well, thanks. I I feel like, for some reason, I was really locked in on that one.

You were locked in. I was really in it. I want more. I that's why I have majority of them, I'm sure, but I've I feel like there's gotta be more. I'm sure there's more, and I could compile more, but those are the first ones that I had right now.

So Well, see if there's, like, a level 2 list. Level 2. Because that that was, like, level 1. Let's go to level 2 and see what happens. So I think compile that, and maybe tomorrow, we'll play round 2.

Alright. I like it. That. Alright. We'll follow-up.

We had an argument over the weekend. Oh, it was so impactful. I remember what it is. No. What were we arguing about?

We were arguing about What? Scratching your back. No. We were arguing about how long you scratched my back because I fell asleep. Yeah.

But I It happened. There's no argument about whether or not it happened. It's the duration of which you claim it happened, and I know that it happened. If you fall asleep, am I supposed to continue the back scratch? If you love me.

You're asleep. You're not gonna know whether I'm scratching your back or not. The timeline. We start at 0, and the timeline starts going. And you said before you started even scratching my back that I was gonna be out within a minute.

You were like, you're gonna be out in seconds. Yes. Now you claim to have scratched my back for 10 minutes. I think it it was 10 minutes. I think 10 minutes is a hefty I think I fell asleep within 3 to 5 minutes.

No. I'm calling it 3. I continue to I did continue to scratch your back after I heard snores. And I think you didn't. I you can't prove that.

And you can't prove you did because it's a it's a little, he said, she said. Is, isn't it? But I know that I scratched your back for a lengthy amount of time. So in the window on the timeline of 1 minute to 10 minutes, I zonkered out. Yeah.

I I zonkered out at, I'm estimating, 3 minutes. I was asleep. Okay. I would say maybe closer to 5. I'll give you 5.

So then I continue to scratch your back for 5 extra minutes after you do. I think I think I fell asleep at 3, and you stopped at 3a half. That's what I think happened. I wish there was a way we could test this. And and so To prove it to you.

Reason that we were even having this conversation, this disagreement, this inaccuracy of counting was because, you felt like it was your turn to have a backscratch, and you wanted to cash in on a full 10 minutes. But I feel like you're trying to squeeze, 6 and a half minutes extra backscratch time. Okay. When was the last time that I received a backscratch? Irrelevant to the argument.

No. That's so relevant because guess what? In the last week, I've scratched your back twice and times? And scratched your head. Okay.

That was of your own voluntary, Which makes it even better, doesn't it? Yeah. It sure does. But we're talking about the one back scratch where I fell asleep at 3 minutes. I'm talking about one back scratch that I never ever get.

That's it. Never. You wanna cash in 10 on 3a half, and I just feel like that's unfair. 10 from the 3? I've scratched your back multiple times and scratched your head.

No. I know. I'm talking specifically about this 1 3a half, though, that you wanna make 10. The other ones don't count. Yes.

They do. It all counts. Look how angry you get about this stupid thing. Gritting my teeth. I just I am angry about it.

I just also want a back scratch sometime. Oh, man. Listen to you. So what I'm asking is for the other 6 and a half minutes. That's all.

I just want my 6 and a half minutes. Gave you that 6 and a half minutes. Not collectively in one stretch. So I did. Allegedly.

Yes. But I'm pretty sure at 30 seconds after you heard, you went No. Yes. I don't have to do this anymore. I am free to roam about.

And it wasn't a have to anyway. It should have been a want to. You shouldn't even be keeping track. That's what I'm trying to say to you. Yeah.

It should be a want. You should want to scratch my back. You're right. Mhmm. But you never know.

I'll never get a back scratch. Not never. Your birthday comes around once a year. You can ask. Yeah.

I don't get it that day. It's a sad day in our house when we have to sad day. Load up all the laundry into the classiest of transportation vessels, the kitchen garbage sacks, and, take them to the laundromat. Did you have a better idea? No.

I didn't either because here's what happened. Our washing machine is broken. Yep. And the dryer works fine. Right.

And the less time that I have to spend at the laundromat, the better. And so I said, I'm gonna load them all up in trash bags because I'm gonna bring them home wet so that I can just dry them at home. It's probably been a year since we replaced the dryer. Uh-huh. We've had the washer dryer set since we bought the house, like, 13 years ago.

Correct. And so we we said, hey. You know, the washer has died, and now I've gotta make the decision of whether I try to buy the parts and the tools I need in order to fix it or if I just buy a new washer. And I'm I'm not excited about either one Don't know. To be honest.

No. I know. Me neither. And the washer is the heavier of the 2 appliances, and so that thing's gotta come out of the basement. I know.

It's downstairs. And I'm not looking forward to that at all. So I'm really torn between the two things. You can pay people to take it out, can't you? I'm sure.

You can pay people to do anything. But That's just my money. This is money. My money that I have to pay people to do. Or I can fight the washer and then put it in the truck and take it to the appliance place Oh, yeah.

And drop it off and then move on with my day. I'm not excited about it. I'm not either. I'm not excited about having a broken down washer. And and it's it's a silly thing because the the broken part is the bearings that make the thing do the spin cycle.

So it'll wash the clothes, but it can't spin all the water out of them, and so they're just trapped with soapy water in them. Just a mess. It is a mess. And then, you know, the parts aren't super cheap, and then I gotta get the tool in order to remove the bearings from the washer, and that I don't have. Like and that's what we were talking about, too, is you get into these situations where it's like, I'm capable of doing this repair.

I've watched the videos. I can do this, but then I'm gonna have to go buy this tool that I'm going to use once for this one project, and then I'm gonna have this tool laying around. How much is the tool? I some of the kits with the parts come with the tool. What I'm saying is somebody already has this tool.

You just need to ask if somebody has the tool. There is that. There is somebody who has I bet somebody already has a washer bearing tool that would be like, hey. Just borrow it. I have it.

And then I could fight through repairing it. I know. I don't like when my stuff breaks. But listen. The parts and everything are like a 5th or a 6th of the cost of replacing it, And that's where I go I know.

It's more cost effective to fix it. It is absolutely more cost effective. Machine works great other than this. I just oh, I've we've lived without a washer. When Beck was a baby, we did not have a washer and dryer, and I remember trucking all of our stuff to the laundromat weekly.

Yeah. I don't wanna be in that position again. And we're there right now. And we're there right now. It was It was nice to throw all the laundry in and have all of it washed in 20 minutes.

I will say that. It didn't take the whole day doing laundry. I have one dryer at home. So then I have to wait. Or you and it's expensive.

Like, I'm blown away. Expensive. I'm blown away by how much it is. 5 loads. Yeah.

And you said it was, like, $40 almost. It was, like, $5 per machine. So, yeah, 5.10 That's 25. 25. What did I say?

$40? No. It wasn't $40. It was When you were counting on your fingers and toes at the laundromat, it was $40. It wasn't.

It was about 25. But still 25 to 30 miles is crazy. For 5 loads of laundry. Yeah. Gotta gotta not be doing that.

So Oh, man. You're calling it the washer woes, and I think that I think that's a fitting title. The washing machine woes. I get a washing machine blues. We were told recently by our 20 year old son that we are helicopter parents or were, in fact, helicopter parents.

Let's roll back. He's not quite 20. He's close. He's he's got a month or so until he's officially 20. So let's let's stay let's keep him in his lane.

Okay. He's 19, and he informed us that we are indeed helicopter parents. Not anymore. Not to him, but we are still to our daughter who's 15. And she is very much like, well, they still are to me.

And he said, yeah. It's your turn. So, but I didn't think that growing, as he was growing up that we were super helicopter y. I think there were certain moments of time that maybe we could be considered helicopter parents, but as I told him what? I would say we were present parents.

I feel like helicopter parents are are monitoring every single move you make and telling him what I think we were very encouraging to try to get him to go out and try different things and and to join different clubs and and go and and have friends and do friend stuff. I feel like we were more pushing him to go do those things than we were stopping him from doing any of that stuff or being incredibly protective of him when he does those things. I think if he actually had helicopter parents, he'd be like, no. Never mind. Exactly.

I think so too. But that's because we're, you know, on the other side of this thing. We're not helicopter parents. No. We just didn't want you to just have free reign of the Internet at 13.

Yeah. My bad. My fault. Or the city Yeah. Go out and do crazy things in the city.

We didn't want you to have a cell phone until you were 15 or 16 years old. Our bad. That's what I told them. I said, hey. We don't know what we're doing.

We're making it up. Well, there's also that. Yeah. Nobody and then and then you learn my best. He was also the guinea pig Yeah.

Through parenting. Yeah. And now we're on the second one, and we're like, okay. Well, I know what happens here. No.

We don't. This is not a new experience. Don't even pretend like we know what we're doing just because we've already had one. No. We have a friend who has they have 8 kids.

I wonder if she's figured it out. We should ask. Hey. Go ahead. As you started with the first one who's now getting married in December, and then you have the youngest who's still in elementary school, let's run this down real quick.

Don't have 8 kids. They have 6. They have 6. Thank you. There are 8 of them in the family.

They Thank you. Yeah. Bad math. But, anyway, they have they have 6, and I would like to know if they've figured it out from the one who's getting married to the one who's in elementary school. Do they do they have it on lockdown?

Do it. Yeah. This last one, their baby is gonna be a perfect child because they've got it all. Yeah. They exactly.

They're not gonna feel bad about being the youngest. They're gonna be, well rounded humans, all of them. All of them. Yeah. It's the way it goes.

So, anyway, good luck with 6 kids or 8 or 10 or 12 or however many Or none. Or none. Or your dog babies, your bird babies. Yeah. No one no one teaches you.

Oh, we're all just guessing guessing our way through life. You put on a jacket that you haven't worn in a while yesterday? Yes. I did. And you said, what's in my pocket?

Yeah. I felt a paper in there. So I was wrestling around, and I reached in the pocket. I pulled it out, and I unfolded it. It had a phone number on it.

A mystery phone number. And I said, that's probably important I wrote that down, but I recognized the number. And I said no. I I'm pretty sure. I said, Emery, is this your number?

And she said, no. That's not my number. Yeah. It was not your handwriting even. It is.

It didn't look like your handwriting. It's my handwriting. Somebody wrote down their phone number, stuck it in your pocket. I wrote down a phone number I don't think so. In my pocket.

It's my handwriting. So I, I I I held it up, and you and Emery standing there both went, whose number is that? I said, I don't know, but I looked at it, and I said, this looks like Emery's number. And I said, Emery, is this your number? And she said, no.

That's not my phone number. And I said, I remember this number. So the the the test was let's put it in our phone and see who comes up. Let's see who's random randomly sticking phone numbers in your pockets, Josh. So I typed the number in my phone.

I have it saved in my phone as old Emory phone because her number changed Yeah. When she got a new phone a year or so ago. And so there it is, her old cell phone number. Lucky. I knew what it was the second I saw it.

Give me that. You're so lucky. Could have been some woman. It wasn't, and it wouldn't be. I mean, it was our daughter who's, you know, some woman, but it wasn't some random woman.

Stuffing numbers in your pockets? Nope. Nothing nothing nefarious. Just a sticky note with our daughter's old phone number. Okay.

That's how long ago I have not worn that coat. It's been a year and a half. A couple of years. Yeah. Yeah.

Nothing to worry about. Alright. Everything's cool. Take a breath. It's just fine.

I'm a start stuffing random numbers everywhere just so you you get over that. Whose number is it this? No. I have no idea. I wrote it down to fool you.

To fool you. I do not remember the context of this conversation. What I do remember is you said something, and then there was a pause, a pause, a pause, and then I said a response to you. And then I said, oh, did you just say that, Josh? And you said, yeah.

You don't always hear me right away. Yeah. No. There's a delay. And then you agreed and said, no.

You're right. I'm always busy thinking about something else. And it happens even on the show. We've had examples where I've you've been talking about something, and I'll go, here's a funny quip, and I'll insert joke, and you just move on like nothing happened. And then I go, you didn't even hear what I said.

And then later on, you'll go back and listen. You go, that was really funny, that thing you said. It would have been nice if you would have noticed it when it happened in real time. Sorry. I got good ones.

I know you do. I'm full of them. I know you do. And I and I throw them out, and they just bounce off. Sometimes it just takes a pause.

They don't just bounce. It just takes a minute, and then I go, oh. No. Most of the time, you're just so moved on. And then I go, hey.

Did you hear that thing that it was funny that I said? And then you're like, no. And I'll say, I said this, and you go, oh, that's really funny. Yeah. I know.

That's why I said it 10 minutes ago. I'm sorry. I'm gonna be better. I'm gonna work out. How?

How? I'm gonna start listening more. What? Active listening Okay. Is what I'm gonna start doing.

Alright. Look at me. Look at you. Listened. I'm tuned.

I'm making eye contact with you. Okay. I'm here. I'm involved listening. Got anything to say?

Not not right now. It'll happen. But I'm listening now. Yeah. I know.

And and when it happens, you it'll be one of those times when you aren't. Exactly. Yeah. It's not my fault. I've got too many things going on in my brain.

Slow down. Put one thing. It's it's the treasure chest thing, the toy box, whatever you wanna use. Put the one thing in your brain. And the one thing is whatever that joke is that I'm gonna say that's so hysterical.

Yeah. Just listen to me. You're the only thing that's ever inside my brain, treasure chest. Nonsense. That's it.

I said one nice thing. So that's how it goes. We went to a Halloween party over the weekend, and first of all, you spent a good chunk of the weekend making pants, making tails, making ears. You put a lot of work into our Halloween costumes. Yes.

And then you put it all on. You go upstairs to show Emery, and she was not impressed. No. No. Couldn't even be less impressed.

No. She's she thought everything in in high school or speak was mid. I was very impressed. You made pants. I did.

I You made fuzzy pants. Pattern. I bought fuzzy fabric, and I made fuzzy pants. Impressed. The character I don't know if you wanna reveal who we are.

Reveal. But for Halloween this year, you and I decided to go as gadget hackwrench and Monterey Jack from Chippendale's Rescue Rangers. And, and so I, as Monterey Jack wears no pants, decided it's probably important that I wear pants, so I made brown furry mouse pants. You did. And a tail and, and then had the trench coat and the, what, the flight helmet.

Helmet and then the goggles, the The mustache. The painted, brown nose, the whole thing. It is good. I'm looking at pictures of us. You look like Monterey Jack.

Yeah. And then, my cousin, we walked in the house, he immediately knew because nowhere you dress up like Monty Jack right now. And I went, yeah, which was great. And your gadget hack wrench is awesome. Big ears, the goggles, the blonde hair.

But nobody knew who I was. They knew you were didn't know who I was. Yeah. Who who's this lady you're with? Yeah.

They knew we were a set, but they didn't quite know who I was. But you made your tail look great. You got your your purple jumpsuit overalls. It was it was all good. It was fun.

We had a good time. It wasn't mid at all. Thank you. It was fire. Emery had to sew.

I had a belt, and she had to sew my I go, I can't attach this. I don't have enough fabric. I didn't have enough fabric. How am I gonna attach this? A safety pin there.

Like, a 100 safety pins trying to hold it together. It looked terrible. And we goes, can I just sew it on you? And I said, yes. So we did.

So she did. So she did. Sewed my belt on me. Yeah. And it worked out.

It looked good. So, we'll post those pictures and stuff. I know Halloween's coming up on, as I found out, Thursday. Yeah. You thought it was Wednesday.

You were arguing. Yeah. But, apparently, it's Thursday. So between, now and then, we'll make sure that, we get we get some Halloween stuff posted. So you can see Monterey Jack and We'll do it magic hack.

Right? Side by side. Okay. Yeah. That's good.

So that people actually know who they are. That sounds like a great idea. We attended a wedding over the weekend. Yeah. A buddy of mine from high school got married, and, and so it was cool.

And and his now wife also from high school, which was it was kinda cool to catch up with, with those guys a little tiny bit. Yeah. They had a lot of family. They were safe. A lot of people that wanted to hang out with them and stuff.

But, congratulations to my buddy, Jonathan, for getting married. Getting hitched. Yeah. Very good. Ceremony.

They had some really delicious food. Here's what happened to me, though. What had happened to Chantel, in the line? Do you wanna go in the line? Do you wanna go in?

We're sitting at the table waiting for our table to be called. Where do you wanna start? In the line, probably. In the line. In the line.

In the line with the plate in your hand waiting to get served dinner. I, as some of you know, don't like a lot of meat, and I don't like big chunks of meat. I like small chunks of meat, but I also have very difficult time saying no to people. And so as I'm sitting there in line watching meat getting thrown onto people's plates, I go, I can't eat that. And is it ruder?

Is it more rude to take the thing and not eat it, or is it more rude to politely decline Okay. Said item. So was I and so I was in front of you in line Yeah. And I went through, and I was excited about the chicken. The chicken was awesome.

I was not excited about the chicken. Great. It was it was a nice serving of of, chicken. Delicious. Then there was, rice More chicken.

Salad. And then there was, there was a More chicken. Yeah. There was a second chicken that had, like, like, a gravy sauce on it that that, was heavy in mushrooms. And I was not excited about the mushrooms.

And so when I got to that part of the table, she was like, oh, would you like some of this? And I said I said, I think I'm okay. I got a plateful of food. I'm all set. Thank you.

And then I grabbed my roll, and I walked away. You did not get the memo that you could say, no. I think I'm okay. Thanks. So you had a plate with quite a substantial amount of food compared to mine.

A lot of there was a lot of chicken on my plate. Yeah. Now that chicken that had the mushroom Yes. Gravy You love. So good.

Right. Not the chicken itself because I But you really like the grossest mushroom grape. But the gravy, it was so so so so good. And so you were saying that you wish you coulda just got the gravy on the rice, which I bet you. I bet I could.

I bet you. But who does that? You do. I can't. I can't go through the line and get wrong with that.

Oh, can I just get the gravy? I don't want the chicken that you've worked very, very hard. Already had chicken on your plate, though. You could've just said, hey. I got chicken down there.

Can I just put some gravy on my rice? And I bet you a $100. She would have been like, absolutely. Not a problem. I bet she would have too.

But Not an issue. I the the guy in front of us in the line held his plate up. I was watching because I watch what people do because I'm like, if somebody says no. Thank you, then I can also say no. Thank you.

But I'm not gonna be the first person to say no. Thank you. He she just kept piling chicken on his plate. Right. And he just kept holding his plate out.

And I was like, I can't. That's so much chicken. I can't eat that chicken. I can't. It's it was very, very good food.

I was, I was happy with it, and a very cool wedding. And, again, congratulations, to the newlyweds. Very exciting. You just recently had a glass of cold milk for the first time in a very long time. It's been a long time since I've had, just a cold glass of milk.

I was pretty impressed with how good it was. I had to have 2. You wouldn't stop talking about it. Well, I moved on after about 2 seconds. No.

You didn't. I yes. I did. I had the glass of milk. I went, man, that's good.

I mean, I don't even know the last time I just had a glass of cold milk. Now to be fair, it was to dip fresh baked, chocolate chip cookies in, but it was delicious, and I went, man, that's good. And then I moved on about my day. That was the entire exchange You said about the milk. You should have a glass of cold milk.

Have you had a glass of cold milk? I said, no. Thank you. And you said, have a glass of cold milk. It's such a good.

It's so good. Have this glass of cold milk. Cold milk is the best. Cold milk. I didn't do that.

None of that happened. I listened to that entire, reenactment of the exchange, and I don't know what you heard, but it wasn't that. It was that. That's exactly what I heard in my brain. Okay.

Well, that's fine. You did, of your own freedom and whatever, grab a glass, a smaller glass than mine, and I said, that's not a very big glass of milk. You're gonna have a glass of milk. And you poured that and you drank it, and you went, no. No.

It's not that. That's not it. And I said, well, I don't know what to tell you. I thought it was delicious. I don't know.

Cold milk. Glass cold milk. It was so good. Glass cold milk. I didn't say glass of cold milk a 100 times like I was from the old west.

Glass of milk. Yes, sir. Get it now while it's fresh and cold. Glass of milk. Glass of cold milk.

What in the world? You were in a different room. I don't know why you were so in love with that glass of cold milk. I'll tell you glass of cold milk. Get it now.

Fresh out the jug. Get it. That did not happen. Were so in love with that milk. Mind your business.

Would You Rather This or that? Would you rather make your costume or buy your costume? At this point, I wanna buy it. I made one. You did.

I put in a lot of effort. I I'm gonna wear it a couple of times. You know? It was kind of expensive to buy all the pieces. Yeah.

It probably would have been just as cost effective to just buy 1. By the time I bought fabric and made patterns and and sewed and created, it's just easier to just buy the thing. Have you seen my craft room? I took a picture of it. It looks like, someone shaved a dog on your floor.

Yeah. It's a disaster. I know. It looks so bad. I know.

There's scissors everywhere. I'll get the vacuum in there. I'll clean up my mess. It's a mess. I know.

Patterns. You just have patterns laying around. I know. Is my iron even off? I don't even know.

The light is red, so yes. Is red. Okay. Not green. We're safe there.

So, yeah, there's a lot of cleanup. I just I'd buy one from now on. That's easy. It is easy. Would you rather this or that?

I would rather buy the costume moving forward. I don't think that like, you get a different quality when you make it yourself. You gotta really think about the accessories, and you can really bring it together. Yeah. But I'm telling you.

Unique. Yeah. But it's easier to just buy. Much easier to just buy the costume. And I think, you know, being something easy might be the way to go.

Like, oh, I'm a pirate. Done. I'm a policeman. Like, I don't have to think about it. What are you?

Oh, I'm a fireman. Yep. You people ask. What are you? Yeah.

Just think of my costume. Explain it. Like, oh, clearly, you're Beetlejuice. Yep. You get it.

Nailed it. Yeah. Would you rather this or that? Easy enough. It's gonna do it for today's show.

Are you sad about it? Yeah. It was a fun one today. We had some fun. I like it when, we have fun, which is every morning.
