Full show transcript:
Alright, I guess you gotta be aware because you might get duped online, Chantel.
No, don't get duped. Yep, if you missed out on the Barista cup from Starbucks. I didn't miss out on anything.
I know, but if you did, because a lot of stores sold out and people showed up at like four in the morning to get them. Stop it. And then people were fighting over them.
Stop it. Well, Walmart has stepped in with their very own Bear Cup Dup. It mimics the original design, does not have the Starbucks logo. It is a glass cup. It holds 20 ounces.
It has the beanie. It costs you about 22 bucks, which is about $7 cheaper than the Starbucks one. And you don't have to buy them on resale. They're available online. So if you just want one because you want it, but it doesn't have the Starbucks logo on it, you can get one for less money from Walmart.
They put out a duplicate. Boom. That's it.
That's all I know about it. Okay. You're not excited. No, I'm not. You don't want to drink from a bear?
Mm-mm. Why? Because I have this mug that I use every day. Yes. I got this for less than 15 bucks.
Okay. I've had it for at least five years, maybe. You call it your support cup? My emotional support.
Your water bottle. Yes. Yeah. It's got all of my favorite stickers on it, including a bluey one. Yeah. And I carried a watermelon from Dirty Dancing. Right.
And, oh, look, there's one from Clueless. Okay. And some of the different places we've traveled to, like Salem and Boston and San Diego.
And, oh, look, there's the water tower. Okay. So you could get the bear one as a companion? I don't want the bear one. You know why I'll tell you why, because I think it's a terrible ploy in capitalism. I think it's ugly. And I hate that people were fighting over it. Yeah. Now, if you really wanted the Starbucks one. I don't. And, Chris, okay, but if you did, you love hypotheticals.
Let's travel down one. You were like, I am going to line up 4 a.m. to get this bear glass. You got in there and they were sold out.
So you were kind of depressed about it. You didn't want to spend $300 to buy one online. This opportunity comes up. Or maybe you didn't know this opportunity came up, but someone around you knew that this opportunity came up and they said, you know what, I'm going to buy one for Christmas. You Christmas morning, unwrap it.
You pull it out. Are you excited or are you slighted because it's not the Starbucks one? I don't know how to put myself in that position because I don't want it. And so if somebody gave me that as a present, I'd be like, you don't know me at all. If you think this is something that I wanted. So again, I was saying in the hypothetical, you did want it and you did show up early to buy it and it was sold out. And then somebody gave me the duplicate. I would be, I would be, I would pretend to be excited about it. And then I would be kind of sad because it wasn't exactly the right thing.
So what if I used a fancy sticker maker to make a Starbucks logo and put it on there? Because that's the only difference. Then fine, I guess. Would you, would you feel like a poser? I guess, but I would be happy because at least I have one. You hate this hypothetical. I do because it's hard for me to put myself in that situation because I don't want one of these at all. I feel like how the neighborhood kids felt when they tried to play a game with you, but they weren't playing it right because you ask me hypotheticals all the time and I'm like, I don't really want to do this. And you're like, just do it for fun. And so then when I posed one that you didn't want to participate in, you kind of got bummed out about it and like grabbed your stuff and went inside.
No, listen, I gave you the answer. I would be excited if I really wanted one of these. Like I feel like I'm not playing the right way. You're not. And it's not the way you play the game.
And so it's not working out. Listen, I wouldn't grab my stuff and go inside. I would continue to play, but I would be irritated the whole time. No, I know I'm feeling that. So as the neighborhood kid, like I don't kind of want to hang out is what I'm saying. I know that's why I didn't have any friends. Right.
So what I'm saying is I feel like the neighborhood kids right now. Well, play right. Right. Right.
I'm doing it wrong. I got it. Okay. I got it. I got it.
I got it. Let's start the show. Hey there. Hey, Heidi.
Heidi. Hi, Gabrielle. Hey, howdy. Hello. But my Heidi and my Heidi.
Heidi ho. Oh my Lanta. Yeah.
I got to go back to bed. Deal. Okay. I'm I mean, you are my supervisor. Yeah.
But but my slash hour. Or next step up. I don't think he'd be like, yeah, go ahead. It's wrong with that guy. I mean, he'd be like, okay, go do what you got to do.
But I don't think he'd be like super stoked about it is what I'm saying. Especially because it's just because I want to go back to bed. That's right. It's not like a real emergency. Oh, but wait. What? It is national princess day.
So we could actually call in princess. Okay. And be like, I'm sorry. Today I'm a princess and I will be treated as such. And therefore I am going to go back to bed. See how many mattresses it takes for me to feel that P. Yes.
And then and then I go one. Josh, brilliant. Right. See, I love that idea. It's princess day. We've got to test the P theory.
Yes. And I'm going to bet. Yeah, I'm going to bet I don't feel that P with one mattress. And I fall right asleep. Same. Yeah.
Same to me, but we got it. It's for science. That's right. Show content. Sound to sleep.
Cause I couldn't find the P. How long do you think it would take you to fall back asleep? Honestly. Honestly. Not long. I don't think it would take 30 minutes.
Yeah. I don't think it would take you long at all. I think it would take me a minute just because I'd lay there ruminating.
And whether or not you can feel the P. No, it would be more like, oh, my boss is going to be so mad at me. Right. If I done. But then what slumber.
Yeah, I'd get there eventually. Right. Don't be afraid. And I don't like that every morning I have to come in and go, man, I'm tired. I know.
I know. But I just don't know the solution. I'm sick and tired of being tired. That's what you said yesterday.
And I don't know the solution because went to bed even earlier. Like 10, no, it was like 10 minutes. That's not enough. We got to shut the light out. I mean, we went into the bedroom at 915. Yeah. But you were scrolling to talk.
That's true. I was doing some last minute stuff. Yeah. So it was 950.
So it wasn't. Normally we go to bed at 10. Yeah.
It wasn't early. Get out of here. You got to turn off your tic-tac, dear. Well, then it would be the game or it would be some other thing.
Or it'd be fantasy football that I'm frustrated at. Go to bed early. Put your phone away. Yeah. That's the step, isn't it? Yeah. Isn't it? Yeah. You're right. I know. I always am. Yeah.
So tonight maybe we shoot for a, I got a meeting tonight. You do? Yes. I know. And it doesn't start until like 745. Oh man, you're going to be gone all night. I got a bedtime. I'm going to say that. I'm going to go, hey, I got a bedtime at 9.
I got one hour here and then I got to go to bed. You were so excited when you said that. I'm going to say that. I am. I'm going to walk in and I'm going to go, we got to wrap this up in one hour because it's going to take me 15 minutes to get home and then I got to go right to bed.
Yeah. Because I'm a tired boy. I'm beat.
Yeah. I'm so tired. And then I have an afternoon thing on Wednesday that'll probably take a few hours, but Wednesday I should be able to get to bed on time. Thursday's out the window. Thursday's out.
Yeah. That's going to be a late night. We should probably be prepared to come in late Friday. Fine by me. Because Thursday is Trans-Siberian Orchestra.
Right. And we are going to be up late with that show. And then Friday, you know what happens Friday?
What? We flip the switch on Friday morning. That's right.
To the Christmas Music Channel. So that's happening Friday morning. So we got to be fresh and ready for that. So all the more reason to say, hey, listen, we're going to go ahead and not come in until seven.
What do you think about that? Sounds fine. Doesn't that sound nice?
Yeah. Sounds great. But we got to be prepared now. Okay. Let's get prepared. All right. I'm prepared.
Oh, that's all it took. I don't know what you need to do to prepare. Well, I've got to prepare stuff for the show because the show has to start at six.
So we'll have to prepare something and then we'll be in at seven on Friday. You've got to get approval first, don't you? Sure. Okay. It'll be fine.
Let's just get prepared. All right. And then, and then, you know, we could do is if it works out, maybe we do that every day. Sounds fine.
That's what I'm saying. And then we can go to bed at nine. We can come in at seven. Things will be in better shape. Tip top shape. Yeah. Hey, good morning. All right. We're here. Hi.
Here is some good news for the past 15 years. The true breed motorcycle club. That's TRU because true true breed motorcycle club. They've been on a holiday mission to provide meals for families in need in Minneapolis. This year, they're gearing up for the biggest giveaway yet.
What is it? Well, they started with 75 frozen turkeys and now they have grown as the need has increased. Last year, the effort gave a big boost to 400 families in the area. That's a giant boost. No kidding. This year, many motorcycle clubs in the community are working together with the goal of helping 1500 families, which is pretty incredible to help the clubs achieve their goal.
The group launched an online fundraiser for the bikers. It's about more than turkeys. It's about neighbors lifting up neighbors and keeping the community strong no matter what challenges pop up. It's really become all the motorcycle clubs coming together to do a lot of good for the community. A long time motorcycle enthusiast said, this is way bigger than just the clubs.
This is all about these people in the community. It's huge. It's huge. That's great. It's cute.
The true breed motorcycle club. It's so cute. I don't know why I used that word to describe it, but it's great.
What a great idea. But it is cute. Good job, guys. And gals? Oh, for sure. I would assume. You'd have to assume. Don't ever assume. That's right.
That's good news. If you want to forego your turkey this year for Thanksgiving and you want to do chicken instead. Okay.
Well, then have I got an idea for you? What is it? KFC. Oh, no. Why? Why? Listen to this. You can get a bucket of fried chicken along with two sides of mashed potatoes, four biscuits, and three types of gravy.
They're calling it a flight of gravy. Okay. You can get... Where are they? Okay. Brown, white peppercorn, and a new one called Southwest Cheddar. You like Southwest Cheddar gravy? On your potatoes? It kind of just sounds like queso, but they're probably just calling it gravy because they're like, we need another gravy. Yeah. We got a chicken gravy and we got a turkey gravy and we got a cheese gravy.
Listen. Some people call it queso. I think what's going on here is KFC is really trying to get going in America what goes on in Japan. What's going on in Japan? So in Japan, KFC in the 70s, they decided they were going to run a campaign called Kentucky for Christmas. And in Japan... KFC. KFC sells out of chicken every Christmas because people go nuts about having KFC for Christmas in Japan. Really?
And I think they're trying to go like, we got to get this going in America. But it's not Christmas. It's Thanksgiving.
Correct. So they're like, maybe we can get Kentucky for Thanksgiving to be a thing. What do we need? KFC? Anybody got ideas?
Anybody got ideas? And then this guy in the back was like, well, I like gravy a whole bunch. Why don't we throw out a bunch of gravies? Maybe people will buy it. I got two ideas for gravy and a nacho cheese. But we can't call it cheese because then people will think we're just pandering.
What can we do? Call your cheese a gravy. If you had to pick between the brown, the white peppercorn and the Southwest cheddar to put on your mashed potatoes. The brown gravy. The brown one? Yeah.
Yeah. No one likes the brown one. The classic brown KFC gravy is about all they got going. It's a good gravy. I mean, if, yeah, okay, that's the KFC gravy for sure. But I'm saying you're at someone's house and there's a brown gravy, a white peppercorn. I'm putting the brown gravy on. I'm going white peppercorn. Why?
Because it's got flavor. No. Yeah. Listen to me. You listen.
The brown gravy tastes like meat on your potatoes. Yeah. Oh, that's why I'm not picking it. I'm going for the peppercorn one. You know why? Because it's got pepper in it. Spices. You can add pepper to it. Seasonings. I'm not, the white gravy is too much flour. All right.
That's a little bit fair. It gets, that's dry on dry. Darch. Yeah. Which has always made me laugh about biscuits and gravy because it's flour and water in two different forms. Delicious though.
No, I don't disagree. But you take all these wet ingredients and then you add dry ingredients to it and then you cook it and then you take all these dry ingredients and add wet ingredients to it and then you pour it over the top of the mixture of the two. It's just a bunch of flour and water over flour and water. White food on top of white food.
Exactly. And that's when you said put country gravy on mashed potatoes. I went, I'm going to need water. I'll take the brown gravy.
Thank you. Do you want to try the gravy flight? Not really. Okay.
Do I want to try queso on mashed potatoes? Maybe. No.
Why not? You put like cheese whiz on a baked potato with broccoli. Why not just have it on mashed potatoes?
It's the same thing. I mean, I guess. You just minus the potato skin. You see? I do. That I don't eat anyway. I know. The potato skin has all the nutrients in it.
Okay, mom. I like the potato skin. It's where the dirt touches. I know. You've got all the nutrients. You've washed it off. I'm just, I can't eat the skin. It's just too much. No thanks.
Okay. We have a baked potato bar and people are like coming back with a blank plate and I'm like, where's all your potatoes getting? You just ate all that? All right.
Yeah, I did. Good for you. And it was delicious. Nice. It's like eating the wrapper of a burrito.
No, it is not. What have you done? What have you done?
What have you done? What are you talking about? I'm talking about you ate the paper. You ate the paper the potato came in.
Why did you do that? You don't eat the wrapper? It's like eating the skin on an apple. Come on. I eat that too. No, that's where all the dootrails are at.
No, it's not. It's the protective shell to keep the food inside fresh. You don't eat that part. That's why I skin my M &Ms. Yeah. Have you heard of the potato bed? No.
This is something Idaho could really get behind. All right. What is it? Well, it doesn't involve potatoes at all. Okay. Step one, grab a fitted sheet.
Okay. Flip it upside down on your bed. Don't pull it around your mattress. Just stretch it out and leave it facing up. So it's going to just be in the middle?
Yeah. Because it's going to shrink because of the elastics. Step two, fill the edges of the sheets with pillows or blankets. So you're making like a bowl? Kind of.
Okay. Step three, add a blanket or two on top and then just climb on in and go to sleep. The idea is that you're surrounded by pillows on all sides. Oh, interesting.
People say it's more relaxing. All right. I'm watching. Huh.
I just watched a lady do it. I see what you're seeing. Okay.
So she's stuffed in the stuff. What do you think about it? Do you think it would be comfortable? It's build your own Papa-Papa-San is what it is. You know the Papa-San chair? Am I saying that right? Yeah. I'm trying to remember what that looks like. So it's that, it's like that bowl.
It's that cushion bowl chair. Hold on a minute. Yeah. Oh yeah. Yeah. I get what you're saying. It's a build your own Papa-San on your bed.
But in a bed form. Yeah. So that's essentially what's going on. I feel like... You're building a flat. Am I saying that right?
Papa-San? Sure. Oh okay. I don't know. I think it feels a little bit claustrophobic.
No. You're not down in it like a nest. It's not that deep. I get it. But it's still, I don't know. I mean this lady then threw in like her favorite stuffed animal too.
Unnecessary. Which was like a big dog. Oh and there's also a little bear in there too. So she's got a, she's got like two or three. Maybe there's another one in there. She's got like two or three stuffed animals in there.
This is an adult woman. So? Okay fine.
Have your stuffed animals. Here's the other thing. After she threw in the pillows, she then put in like the duvet on the bottom.
And then like a throw blanket on top. So that's... What do you think about that? I don't know. It feels like a selfish way to take up the whole bed. This is, well it's just... It's for one. Yeah.
You can't be sharing this bed. It feels like it's for one. Yeah. I think so too. But I also feel like I'm going to be a little bit strangulated in my feet.
That's what I'm saying. Like my feet are going to hate it. That's where the claustrophobia for me comes in.
I like to be able to have a free moving foot. Yeah. I don't like that I'd be in... Trapped. Essentially.
Exactly. And I also... I don't think that I'm a mover when I sleep. Like I don't travel. A little bit. I mean, I have weird arm and leg spasms.
Okay. But my body doesn't move. I stay in pretty much the same position. Either my right side or my back. Those are the two positions I have.
Yeah. Last night you were on your left side for a little while and it was nice. I was like, hey, you're hanging out with me.
That's cool. And then you said, that's not how I sleep. And then turn the other way. Bye. And I went, okay, see ya. Good night.
Like, yeah, but that's not how I sleep. I'm going to try. Okay. Settle down, Josh.
Just settle down. Here's the other thing about this. I feel like this was something that was invented out of should have been doing something else. Like, probably should have been making the bed, but then cleared the bed off and went, I should put this sheet on the bed and then went, wait a minute, what if I stuff pillows in here and then totally didn't finish cleaning the room. Or it's somebody that's like, I need a social media post and I don't know what to do. I have an idea.
Let's do this. This woman that I'm watching right now, she's got a queen, like a king size sheet. It seems like a lot of work to make this bed.
Do we have enough pillows to do that? No. I don't like it.
I'm just going to keep my regular bed. Yeah. It feels a little unnecessary. Like, I get it.
And maybe it's cozy, but it feels like it's going to strangle out my feet. Yeah. Which I don't care for. And also I just have a bed.
Again, I'll say, I like sticking my foot out. Yeah. Getting it real cold.
Right. And then putting it back in. Do you remember when you were a kid? Let me go back. Let me start this again.
I never know how to start these. Do I remember when I was a kid? No, no, no. Okay. I was going to say one of my favorite things about the internet is the ability that if I don't know what a song says, I can just quickly look it up.
Okay, sure. And I don't even have to do a lot of work. I can just type in the song and sometimes like a lyrical video will pop up and it's just the song with the lyrics. Correct. And you can watch that or you can get like a printout of the lyrics. Correct. So you can just read the lyrics.
It's so easy. You're streaming services. You hit a button that says lyrics and pop up the lyrics and you can sing along with the song if you want.
There are multiple ways to find lyrics to a song. This is correct. Correct. When we were a kid, if your CD or your cassette tape didn't come with the fold out lyric tape. I was going to say that's where you would find the lyrics was in the case. Yeah, but.
You'd fold out the cassette and there were the lyrics. Not always. They didn't always.
Oftentimes. Put them in there. And if you didn't have the CD or the cassette tape.
Okay. And it was just a song you had heard on the radio and you were like, I love that song. I got to find out all the lyrics. You had to stop rewind, write it down. Correct. Stop, write it down, rewind.
You know, you know the game of writing down lyrics. You are correct. Kids these days would never. And then you'd have to think and like really listen and go, I think that's what it is. Now I don't know how often I ever did that. Oh, I did it all the time. Yeah, I don't know that I did.
In fact. I listen to a lot of music, but I don't know that I wrote down the lyrics. The most recent writing down the lyric experience I had was in college when my friend and I shout out to Christina.
Okay. We sat down and wrote out the words to can't stop this. Can't touch this.
Can't, can't stop this. I went, what is that song? You wrote out the lyrics when you were in college in 99, 2000. You could have found them online by that point.
Oh, Josh, where's the fun in that? Oh, you know, then you just have. I'm sure we could have. But then that would mean we didn't have, we didn't have cell phones at that time. So that would have meant we had to walk down to the computer lab. You didn't have the computer in your apartment or your dorm? No, I wasn't rich. I thought you had a computer in my dorm room. No, I did not. I had to use the computer lab. Oh. Go check my email in the computer lab. You had to go check email in the computer lab.
Yes. I was as unfortunate. I was rich enough to have the compact display model that we had purchased at Fry's electronics when we got into Phoenix.
That was what I had, which I was grateful for. I was going to say. Technical school. So it kind of needed a computer in order to be able to do stuff. Now, the people that I was roommates with were super nerdy. And that is when I learned how to set up LAN parties and how to do all kinds of internet stuff because we had them all networked in the apartment. We had cables running everywhere. It was very geeky. Sounds cool.
But it was awesome. I bet so. Did you guys have a lot of dates?
What are dates? We had a lot of LAN parties where we would play video games together on our computers after homework. After we did homework and checked email on our own computers. Your own computers?
After. Very own computer. You were so rich and fancy. You could have searched any lyric that you ever wanted to on your own computer. Couldn't you have?
Yes. You're so rich. But I didn't. Why? Because I was busy playing video games after homework.
Very important that it was after homework. Kids these days will never know the struggle of trying to find the lyric and then listening three times and going. I'm sure they have a different struggle. Is that what he really said? There's got to be a different struggle. What do you think it is? What do you think is an equal struggle? The kids are facing these days.
Can't find the lyrics of my song. What's an equal struggle? Let's see. I'm just searching up teen struggles in 2025. Wide spread mental health issues like anxiety and depression. These are teen struggles.
Intense academic pressure. Digital life and social media. Identity and future concerns. Job market challenges. Climate anxiety.
Impact of global events. All right. We get it.
I'm not saying they don't have any struggles. Or what are the words of that song? Kids these days will never know.
They don't get it. There we were last night. You were going somewhere. I had to take Emory somewhere. And right as Emory's got one foot out the door, I hear you in the basement going, hey, where's the tape? So I go to the top of the stairs and I'm trying to direct you to see where the tape is. And Emory from the door goes, where's the keys? So I'm trying to tell her what coat pocket I left my keys in. I'm at the top of the stairs shouting down where the tape is. I didn't hear you say anything about the tape. Shouting where Emory was because then I decided that it would be easier just to go find it for you than try to explain it.
Because it really was. I walked down the stairs and I pointed. No, I know. I saw. And then you said, or also there's all this tape right here, which I did not see.
Both of them in plain view. Would you not agree? I would say that the one you pointed out was a little tucked behind other things. It wasn't tucked at all.
It was a little put away more than the ones that we got for Christmas wrapping that are sitting literally right out. Yeah, you walk in the room and they're right there. I did not see those ones. And I'll say that's bad on me because they were right there.
I get that one's bad. But the black tape dispenser that I was looking for was kind of tucked away. It wasn't tucked away, bro. It's on top of a shelf, but it's like really back in there.
So I look, it was hard to find. If you walk into that room and straight back, if you walk into that room and just keep going straight. Who walks in that room and just goes like, oh, the tape dispenser is going to be right there. Me. I do. Yeah, because you put it there.
Because that's where it lives. Yeah. So me, I naturally went, okay, if I were tape, I would be somewhere on either the shelf on the left, right? When you walk in, right?
Walk in. So I start scanning to the left. And I went, it's obviously not right there out in front.
So, okay, it's not there. And then I went, well, maybe she put it in a drawer because that it's not something that you necessarily always have to grab. I do have more tape in a drawer. So I pulled open the top drawer and I went, there's too much stuff in here and I can't find tape. And so I'm looking. And that's when I went, hey, do you know where the tape is?
After I had scanned the two areas I expected to find tape. And then, and then I hear. From a mile away, I could hear that noise.
Because it really was. Do you know where the tape is? Mom, do you know where the keys are?
Yes. I know where everything is. Because you move it.
Anybody know how to look? You know where it is because you move it. So I tell everybody, the keys are in my black jacket. It's actually gray.
It's in my gray jacket. That's the exact words. And then when I go down to find the tape for you, I get in the car with her and she goes, actually, that was it. It was a black jacket. And I go, I would beg to say that it's a charcoal jacket.
Oh boy. And she's, we had a fight about the color of my jacket because she couldn't find the keys in where I told her to find them. Why can't anybody find anything in a house? Because you move it.
That is such a lie. Into like not the normal place. I put things away. Yeah.
Yeah. Because I'm thinking the tape should either be in a drawer or out somewhere obvious, not tucked behind some bins and stuff. It wasn't tucked behind any bin.
It was right on the shelf, clear as day. Yeah. Yeah, what? Okay. I hear you.
I hear you. Every mom listening right now goes, yeah, my kid asked me three times a day, where's my shoes? Where's my jacket? And they're going to be wherever mom moved them. Because when the kids come home, they throw their shoes wherever they want.
That's right. And then I go, hey, I need my shoes. And then I go right back to where I left them and they're gone. And now I have to ask somebody, where'd you put my stuff? Instead of looking around, looking in the obvious places.
What did I just say? I checked an obvious place and a drawer. Because that's where I expected it to be. And then I said, I'm going to spend forever in this craft room trying to find tape. Hey, real quick, where's the tape? And you could have said, it's by the pegboard behind that little bin.
And I would have been like, oh, there it is. It's not behind anything. You can't see it from where I was standing.
Yes, you can. And I wasn't moving to see if I could see it. I think we all know that. It's out of my sight.
It's missing. That's the facts. I had to put the strawberries. I bought strawberries. The last couple of times I bought strawberries. I've had to throw them away because they've gotten moldy.
I keep telling Emory, we have strawberries. Oh, I didn't see them. So I had to put them out of the crisper drawer front and center. So she knows that we have strawberries.
Is it working? I don't know. Because they're still in the fridge. There's still quite a few of them left. She's not eating them, I guess, but at least she knows they're there this time.
All right, let's start. If you have to open a drawer, the kids will open the fridge and go, there's nothing to eat instead of moving anything to see what there is to eat. Plenty of stuff in there. Plenty of stuff. What other mom gripes do you have? So many.
This one's real big. I like it. The empty boxes. That's the other mom gripe. Have you told that story yet?
Nope. About the one you threw at Emory? I threw two at her.
And she said, I didn't even eat those. And so then you threw it at Beck and he was asleep. And so he said, why is this empty box on me when I woke up? And then the two of them got into an argument about who ate the last one. Open the pantry, there's an empty box of popcorn.
Yeah. So I said, who ate the last bag of popcorn? Chucked the empty box at them in a loving way.
Oh yeah. Just small little cardboard box. Then I opened the bathroom covered yesterday. Empty box of Band-Aid.
There you go. Who used the last Band-Aid? Driving me crazy, this people that I live with.
And what did I do besides the tape? Tell me more. We don't have time for that. No time?
No time. Hey, so every year we partner up with Salvation Army to do 97 Angels with Classy 97. And this year with the help of Mullen and Ellie's Jewelers, we're doing it again. Woohoo.
Yeah. So if you visit the Classy 97 app, you can tap on the 97 Angels link. And we have a whole list of locations where you can find angel trees around East Idaho. And then once you visit the tree, you're going to pick up a tag or two. And then you can go shopping for toys for the angels on those tags. And then you can drop off those gifts, new unwrapped gifts. Drop them off by December 12th. And then they'll make sure they get those gifts distributed to the children in time for Christmas, which is so cool. That's less than a month away just to keep your head in the game. Right.
You got to drop these gifts off by December 12th. So you got to be snappy. You got to be whippy snap.
Whippy snap. Okay. So visit an angel tree location near you and grab a tag. And thanks again to Mullen and Ellie's Jewelers for helping us with 97 Angels again this year.
If you want all the details, visit that link in the Classy 97 app. And again, there are locations that are open now. And then after Thanksgiving in Idaho Falls, there are some other ones that are going to open up with some angel trees. And then there are also some locations where you can drop off stuff that is separate from the Salvation Army. So for the past few years, you've only been able to drop those off at the Salvation Army locations in Idaho Falls and Pocatello. This year, both Idaho Falls and Pocatello have drop off locations that you can take advantage of as well. So very cool.
And thanks so much for helping out 97 Angels with Mullen and Ellie's Jewelers in the Salvation Army. All the details are in the app. Okay. I'm going to ask you a question. Are you ready? Sure. You can never have too many blanks.
Fly tying supplies. Everyone knew you were going to say that. Who knew that?
Everyone that knows you. Because there's, I've seen some of these guys that build out their tying rooms. Like I have a table with some totes of stuff.
Yeah. Have you seen some of these rooms? You have a room. You could turn that room into a fly tying room.
Wow. Have you ever thought about doing that? My own fireplace? Do it. No, I'm not turning my studio into it. I'm saying I'll take over the family room is what I was saying.
No, no, no, no. You don't, that's the library. Right. You don't get to turn that into your fly tying space. Right. Get out of here. That's communal space.
That's not Josh's space. Wow. It's for everyone.
Yeah. You turned that into a- It's for everyone to watch me tie flies. Oh boy. So fun.
No, it's, that's a pretty good fact. I could use more supplies all the time because I, you know, and some of the stuff is like multi-purpose. You can use it for lots of different flies. But then I'm like, but I want to try and tie this fly. And so then I have to go spend, you know, eight or $12 on the supplies that I need to tie that fly. And then I have those supplies.
But that's just where the accumulation comes from. What, is there any type of tool or anything? You can never have too many of a tool like a screwdriver. Sure. Drill bits.
Okay. Lots of drill bits. I think you could, you could probably, I think you could reach a limit like where you'd be like, okay, that's enough. Like I don't know that I drill enough holes to really need more than I have.
I'm pretty covered. And why did you say that? Why did you give that answer? Because I was trying to think of like all the things that I have, what do I have the most of?
I'll tell you what I have the most of. Sockets. Allen wrenches. Because they come with everything you have to build yourself and you can't just throw it away. Yeah, because you're like, what if I might need this?
This is a handy tool. I have like seven of the same size or eight or 10 or 12. Everyone does. Yeah. Because the same thing, you can't throw them away.
Right. They gave me a free Allen wrench. I was just looking.
I'm going to throw that into the, into the toolbox. This morning I was looking, I have a little, it's like an old, I mean, I think people used them for candles, but I use it for my chapstick and it's stuck to the brim with chapstick. Is it just that little cup?
Yeah. You can never have too many chapsticks. I have one. I have so many. That I carry with me every day in my pocket. Do you?
Yeah. I have, I have one in this bag. I have one in my pocket. I have one in this bag. I have one on the counter. That one that probably actually came from my pocket. I've won in the car. I have one in my purse. I have one in my pocket.
You have to have chapsticks everywhere. Because here's what happens. Where am I? Where am I?
At work. Okay. Do I have my chapstick with me? Yes. Yep. Am I in the truck? Do I have it with me?
Yep. But what happens when you wash it? I don't. What happens if you take it out and you forget it on your desk?
I don't. Oh, you're so responsible with your chapstick. It goes with my wallet and my, my marker and my pen and my chapstick. That's what's in my pocket. I have my phone, my wallet, my marker, my pen, my chapstick. Okay.
If I don't have those things, I'm missing something. You can never have too many chapsticks in my mind. How about, here's another one.
Okay. A dental floss. You know, I've got those, we had this conversation yesterday about floss picks and you flossed on air with the new little rubber thing. So I think we've covered dental floss.
Yeah, but you can't, you can't ever have too many. I have the same thing. I've got dental floss everywhere in my car, at home, in my lunch bag. I have the floss picks two places.
I have a bag in the truck and I have a bag in the house. What about sunglasses? I have a one pair. I also have one pair. I actually have two pair, but I don't like the one pair. And then I go, I want the other pair.
I would tell you, there's a bunch of, a bunch of reading glasses that I know people sometimes feel like they just can't have enough of. Yes. Like a basket full of them. And you go, like, dude, did you need this many?
Like for real? Like how many eyeballs do you have? That's because you put them down and you can't remember where you put them.
So, okay. Somebody said socks. You can never have too many. Too many new socks. But again, yes you can because the drawer overflow with. It does, but I have, there's a hierarchy of socks.
No, I know. Right now I am wearing not, these are like bottom. You're not on top tier. No, these are bottom wrong. Why are you on bottom wrong socks? Because I need to do some sock laundry.
We just did laundry yesterday. You had all that time. Here's the thing. My top tier socks are old and I've worn them. Get new socks. I did and I don't like them as much as I'd like to the other ones. Get the right ones. I thought I did, but apparently they weren't. What are the right ones? I don't know what brand they are. That's a problem. I know. Do they have a writing on them?
No. Where'd you get them? T.J. Max. Oh, you'll never find the same socks again. I know.
I'm aware because I've bought three different kinds and then I go, these aren't it. I know. I'm cooked.
What are you, 12? I'm so cooked right now. I got the wrong socks. I'm cooked. Cooked in the sock department. Well, good luck with being cooked in the sock department.
I know. I keep having to, here's the thing. I like the no-show socks and it keeps falling down. And so I keep having to take off my shoe. Don't they have that like sticky thing? Pull up.
Yeah, but it doesn't work. You need new ones. I know. Can you try on a sock? No. You should be able to. I think you can. I don't think you can.
I bet you can. Most of them come in a package. Right, but don't they have that resellable little thing? But also, the ones that I get are hooked to a hook like a hanger. Take one off. And then they're, you can't. Why?
Because then you're ripping the whole package apart. You got to try that sock before you buy it. Gross. Gross. That's gross. Don't try on socks. Why is that gross?
Because it's gross. How are you going to know if you like it? You're going to waste the money and then go, these aren't them. And then you could return them. What's the difference between returning a warm sock? Because they're not going to resell those socks. They might? It's possible they might, but more than likely they're just going to throw them in the garbage. In the send back bin.
Exactly. Why don't you just try it on at the store? I'm not going to. That's gross. I don't think it's that gross. Maybe you ask somebody, hey, can I try this on before I buy it?
Stop. And maybe they're like, yeah, actually, that's totally fine. People do it all the time. And then you go, what? Yeah.
I thought I was getting a fresh new sock, not some old tried on sock. Exactly. That's gross. Why is that gross?
I don't know. You're grossing me out. Why? Stop trying on socks. Why is that gross? Because people have gross feet. Stop. You're putting it also on your foot, not on your face.
Josh, you're telling me that you would buy a sock if you watched somebody try it on. Stop it. Stop acting like it's not a big deal because you and I both know it is. Stop acting like this.
A really bad time. Just try on the sock. That's all I'm just, I'm just trying to get you to do. A thing. Try on the sock. Okay, I will.
Is that what you want to hear? You won't do it. No, of course I won't.
I'm going to go with you and we'll try on socks. Stop. Stop it. What if they just had like a big bin of demo socks? Oh, gross. How are you going to know if you like the sock?
Stop. I'm going to find out. I'm going to do some research. All right. Go for it. Listen to this.
Okay. You know how much I love soup. You love soup. And you know how much I love like a kind of a wacky party.
Okay. So if it's like a dress as your partner party. I haven't done one of these before, but I really want to. They have a, it's called a soup party and everybody brings a different kind of soup. And then everybody brings a muffin tin. And then you put your soups in your muffin tins. Oh, I see.
Then you get to eat all of the different soups. I see. So I got a question.
Yes. Is your muffin tin an actual tin or is it a silicone one? I would probably bring a silicone one. That's a floppy one.
I know it, but guess what? I feel like it's less gross. Can you put the silicone one in a tin one?
You're not going to want floppy soup. Okay. Yes. You're right. You need support.
Okay. Or put it on a tray or something. You can't just go walking around with a floppy silicone muffin tin. Or I get a brand new metal muffin tin. I can't have a used muffin tin because sometimes they, they're not dirty.
They're clean, but they look dirty. You know what I'm saying? No. Oh, you do? No, I don't.
It's a weird thing to worry about. Okay. Now next question. Are you going with the six or the 12? 12.
Settle down. I know how much you love soups. Are you going with the six or the 12? It depends on how many people are invited and how many different soups there are. Are you going to eat every soup? No, it depends. No, you're not. It depends on what's, I get weird about it. I know you do. This is why I'm, I'm asking because I know for a fact you're not going to try every soup.
It just depends on what the soup is. Right? Like I don't like, You're being too nice. I know I am. I don't like cheeseburger soup. Right?
Because of the meat in it. Yeah. And but also, uh, yeah, I'm not going to try all this soup.
I know you're not. So you should go with the six because you're probably going to try six of the two dozen soups. Two dozen. How many people are coming to the soup party?
I don't know. I figured it was a pretty big shindig. I mean, yeah, that sounds fun. Or do you want to go with the 24 cup mini muffin? Oh, that's, you'd have to go back multiple times.
No, you could do multiples of soups that you were like, yeah, I'm going to want more than one little cup of this. But that's actually perfect. Yeah, you're right. Because then you can get a little taste test. Right. It's like, it's like when you go to the Costco and get all the samples, you can sample the soups, but then you can go, I'm glad I only got one mini cup of that because I don't want more than one mini cup of that.
But I glad I got three of this one. Right. That feels more your speed. I think you're more of a 24 cavity muffin pan. That's a gross way of saying it, but that's what it's called.
I'm looking at a picture of it and it's the nonstick 24 cavity muffin pan. Fill your cavities. Stop. With soup. It's gross.
It's really gross. Would you eat all of the soup? Would you bring the six or the 12 to the soup party?
I'm going to do the six. Because you don't really love soup that much. But I know that the soups that I pick, I'm going to want a bigger quantity of and the six has got deeper wells.
Are you going to try all of the soups? No. Why? Many reasons.
Most having to do with what's in it. Secondarily, I'm going to look at the folks that are bringing the soup. Do I know the people? Or is it just a random soup gathering? No, it's our people. It's our party.
Oh, if it's our people in our party, that's easy. I'll eat the soups, but I have a hard time trusting stranger food. Yeah, me too.
Me too. It's a wonder I even go out to eat. But even like, not even necessarily stranger food, there can be like different, you can be in meetings, right?
Where it's like acquaintances, like you know the people that are not strangers, but you're not, you don't know them. Okay. And if there's a potluck, I'm still like, I don't know.
I don't know. I just have such a hard time with potlucks. Okay. But is there a difference between like a family potluck and a work potluck? Yes. I would say so.
Right? And then is there a difference between like a community organization potluck? Like that's a whole different level of potluck, right?
Like, and I feel like over the past five years, we've had fewer big community potlucks. Yeah. And I'm good with that. Same.
Yeah. I don't need a big community potluck. No.
No one needs that. Yeah. And maybe that's just in my circle where it's been that not a thing. And I'm totally okay with it. Yeah. I'll go eat my own food.
Thanks. Um, we used to have a cookie party. Yes. Should we change the cookie party to soup party? You wish.
And then we could give a trophy out for the best soup. No. Why? Because it's cookies. Yeah, but it could be soup. Right. But it's cookies.
We need to resurrect a cookie party. Yeah, I know. A lot of people ask about it. It's been a lot of years. It has been a lot of years.
When's the last time? 2014, 2015? 2016. 2016. It's been almost 10 years.
I know. Maybe next year is the year. We got time to plan. Okay. Let's do it.
Settle down. I loved cookie party. I know. Who didn't love cookie party? It's been a long time.
I know. We'd have to change our guest list because some of the people have moved out of our area. That's true.
Let's think about it. All right. I will. I know you will. You'll get all excited about it. I am excited about it. And then you'll be like, okay, when are you going to make that invitation? And I'll go, oh. What could be the theme? See, here we go.
This is what happens. Cookie party 26. After 10 years away, it's resurrected.
Here it comes. I don't know what you do. Pick a theme.
Cookie party. How well do you think you know me? Insanely well. Okay.
What do you think? What's my favorite dessert? Tiaramisu.
Good job. What is my favorite like beverage if I go to a drink place? What do I always get? Oh, it's got coconut in it. I mean, are you talking about like your dirty, your dirty soda? Or are you talking about your, like your Christmas morning chai? Chai. Yeah. I had to figure out what you were talking about.
Oh, sorry. I just saw a pumpkin Tiaramisu with chai soaked ladyfingers. What if they just, they've warmed their way into your brain and went, let's combine all the things. And listen, I don't necessarily care about the pumpkin. I like pumpkin. Yeah. Oh, doesn't that sound delightful?
Not, not for me. It sounds right up your alley. I know it does. But it doesn't sound like the best thing I could ever have. Oh, it also has dates in it. I do like dates. Yeah, you do.
Listen, listen to this. You're always like, take me on a date. You like dates. You're always like April 3rd. It's a great date.
By April 3rd. Oh, because it's a perfect jacket weather. It's neither too hot nor too cold. That wasn't the date. I picked a date. It was April something. May 2nd is the best date.
Oh, because it's your birth date. Yep. Listen to this. It's more, it's got more subtle pumpkin flavor than pumpkin pie. Okay. But there's hints of spice and dates and caramels.
You told me about the dates. Oh, and it's got caramel. It's got caramel notes, but I don't know where that comes from. But yes, I love that. I think it, no baking required. Does it have some sort of Nutella hazelnut dipping thing on top? I feel like that would just put it over the top for you.
Look at, you can't even handle yourself with roasted almonds. Oh. See? Do you think you know me?
Insanely well. Well, I'm pretty, I'm a pretty open book though. It's not like I keep my favorite things to myself.
So it'd be pretty. But also I pay attention. Sometimes.
Depends. Always. I always know what's going on. You've also, I mean, you've been around for quite a while. You've known me longer than you haven't known me. This is true.
We've been together a very long time. What are you suggesting? Nothing.
I'm not suggesting anything. Well, it's been a long time. Maybe.
Maybe. Like what is that? What is that emotion that I'm picking up? Just no emotion.
We've been together a long time. No. Listen to me right now. Yeah. We've talked about this many times.
I'm not, I'm not leaving one because I love you, but two because I'm not, I'm not dealing with anybody else's quirks. I can't be bothered to learn the way somebody else sleeps. What if they're big meat people?
Yeah, see, I can't, I can't do that. What if they cook me like food and they're like, oh, I like big chunks of meat. Big chunks of pink meat.
We gotta go. Have this big chunk of pink meat. I don't know.
It's pink in the middle because it tastes better. I can't. I know. You like it. I learned the way to get you to stop snoring. Oh, it's awful. You should learn a new way. I can't learn any other way.
I've tried every other way. I broke my knee. It hurts so bad. Still, I think about it every night when I go to bed. I'm like, I hope I don't break my knees tonight. It hurt me too, Josh. Oh, hurting me hurt you. Yes.
Yeah, I could tell. I think you should make me this delicious dessert. Why am I in charge? I got, I've got other things I'm supposed to be making that I bought supplies for. Yeah, you did. That I haven't made yet.
I know. Maybe I'll do that today. Okay, do it. I said maybe.
Well, I can't remember what they were. Oh, delicious spinach artichoke dip and that apple crisp that I'm going to make. Why don't you say that until next week? Okay. There's a big date coming up next week. You love dates.
I do love dates. Oh, hey, would you rather this or that? Oh, hey, would you rather your turkey be way too dry or alarmingly too dry? Too juicy. No, alarmingly. Disgustingly too juicy. Like, no, I hear you.
I understand what you mean. So you're either going like a Dulce de Leche turkey. It's a wet turkey. So you're going like this. Yeah. Or you're going like, I get, I don't know. I don't know what too wet would be too dry. Too dry is like, there you go. You see?
Okay. Too dry or too juicy. Is my turkey a jerky or is, I was trying to make a rhyme, but I couldn't find a wet rhyme.
I'm going too dry. I think it'd be really gross to have it be too juicy. Like you bite into it and you're like, it's dripping down your chin. Sounds delicious. Sounds awful. Sounds delicious.
No, I'm going. It's fully cooked. It's just wet. Yeah, gross. Okay.
Yeah, that's that one. Turkey jerky for me. I cover it with gravy anyway.
So it's wetter. I don't eat it at all. I know.
That's why your opinion on this one's a little bit moot. I'm going to go ahead and choose the juicy turkey. Yeah, because it's going to save me a little bit on the gravy anyway. And it's fully cooked. It's not like it's underprepared.
Right. The turkey is good. I'm much rather going to have a juicy turkey alarmingly juicy than eating dry, dust turkey.
Yeah, I'm going for that one. Dry, dust. Yeah, I better taste better. Turkey dust.
No way it doesn't. That juicy turkey is going to be unreal. So good. That's what I'm picking. Okay.
Would you rather this or that? Yeah. Did you know that Cher is going to be the musical guest? Cher? The season finale of Saturday Night Live.
No, I did not. December 20th. That's the season finale. Do you know how many times Cher has been on Saturday Night Live? Four.
No, this will be her second time. No way. And not crazy. That is crazy. Ariana Grande is the host that night. Cher is 79 years old.
I thought she actually was older than that. You did. I did. You thought she was older than 79?
Yeah. But kudos to Cher. Do you think she's going to be lip syncing or do you think she's going to be singing live? So I think at this point it's less lip syncing and more auto tune.
Okay. She's definitely singing, but I think they've added a lot of auto tune to her style of stuff. And honestly, I think that happened in 1999 when she did that, do you believe in love song?
Because it was very, very auto tuned. Do you, she might be doing that thing that these older singers do where they start like singing and then they, oh, they pulled the microphone away from their face when they hit like a high note so that the microphone, it looks like they're singing, but. Oh, I see. The microphone is away from their face.
So they're like, you know what I mean? Sure thing. Sure thing. What do you think she's going to sing? If you were sure. Well, so she has new stuff. What?
Yeah. She's not going to sing her new stuff. Of course she is.
You're always out promoting new music. Yeah. So she's got, that was 1998, the believe came out, not 1999.
I was so close. She's got a Christmas song called DJ play a Christmas song. Oh, share. Yeah.
He stole her idea. Yeah. Yeah.
It's not taking off. For share. Yeah. So she's got, as of August, it's a remaster. She's done some remasters. So it's not new stuff. It's just remastered stuff. Yeah. which are from her 2023 Christmas album.
But non-Christmas songs. I'm trying to see, she did a remaster thing this year, but that's it. Do your best share impression. No. Why?
I don't have a share impression. Is that it? Yeah. And then did you do the lip tongue thing? I can't even see your face. You gotta do your, her. Your her?
My, this is my her and I'm a share. Oh, okay. All right. Nailed it. Thank you.
Thank you. I'm trying to see what she's got going here. She did, remember? She did the 50th reunion, the 50th anniversary.
So that was her first time there then? No. So then that's a wrong info?
No, that doesn't necessarily count. Why? Because that wasn't a actual episode of Saturday Night Live.
That was like a special show. It counts for me. Okay.
Well, I guess this is the third then. Remember, she looked pretty great. She's saying if I could turn back time. Right.
I was like, share. You get it girl. Yeah. So she has been, she's done some live stuff and she's done, she's releasing new recordings of old live stuff. And she's got these rolling out on YouTube every few days. So coming up on the 21st is the premiere of Take It to the Limit from the Sherriks Stravaganza live at the Mirage.
That will be released on YouTube on November 21st. So she's got to be promoting her old stuff, I would guess, because she did, if I could turn back time in 2002, but that was released on YouTube only a month ago, the live performance. So it could be that. I bet that's what she's singing. You're thinking it's going to be some classics?
Oh, it has to be. If I could turn back time, what about... No, I know. What about, what else does she have here? I'm looking at, that's not it. That's it.
Take it to the limit. I found someone, dark lady, witchy woman and honky tonk woman from the Cher show. Nobody knows those. Bang Bang My Baby Shot Me Down. She did live in 1991 in Las Vegas. That's not even her song. A lot of these aren't. Witchy woman and honky tonk woman aren't hers.
Cher, write your own music. Okay. Well, there you go. Interesting. I'm not the biggest Cher fan, so I don't know a lot about her.
I haven't really followed her career. Same. All right. I just thought it was interesting. It is interesting.
It was like the interesting that they would pick her. I agree. All right. Well, that's it.
Okay. I just look up Bang Bang She Shot Me Down Original and it says it's sung by Cher. Originally? That cannot be her song for real.
Can it? No, it's Nancy Sinatra. I knew it.
I knew it. All right. Okay. Well, see you tomorrow. Goodbye. Have a good day.
Talk to you tomorrow. Hey, by the way. Hey, yes. What's up? I was just thinking Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday is three days until Christmas music.
So just as a reminder, if you are not following us on socials, you should be because you can't be on socials. You can see us build a snowman three. It's half a snowman.
If you think about it, don't think too hard. A third. A third of a snowman. Well, a third would only be one ball on the bottom. That's just a ball.
Okay. That's a third of a snowman. Half a snowman is the three minus the head. Oh, you're right. See what I'm saying?
Yeah. So if it doesn't have the head, then it's a third. Probably more than a third, I think.
Because if you had the other half of the three, you'd have an eight and that would be half, more than half. Anyway, follow us on socials, class 97 KLC. You can see us build a number three snowman. All right. We'll see you tomorrow. Okay. Bye. Bye.
