Full show transcript:
Chantel, today's show happens to be our final show for a few days. We will be back with a new show next Wednesday. But if you're listening here on the podcast, you know, thanks.
Thanks so much. We will have new episode of the podcast next Wednesday. You can go back and listen to the archives anytime you want. And thank you for doing so. Also, you can reach out to us, wakeupclassy97 at gmail.com.
You done with all of the business?
Yeah, all the formatics. The formalities, that's the word I'm looking for.
We talk occasionally about how we are getting older and you start to notice that you're getting older when you turn 40. You're barred. My barney hurts. Your body starts to do things.
My barney's doing things. Is that what you say when you notice? Oh, my barney's doing stuff. What's going on with your barney?
So many things. And your mouth. What happened? We have a 10s unit. Yes. We each have our own.
And I think I have mine with me.
Do you? Yeah. I was wondering if I could borrow it. No. Why? Because you don't think I take care of your stuff.
Because my gel pads are real nice. You can borrow it if you use your own gel pad.
Okay, here's what happens. We typically use our 10s unit when it's like we come home for the day, we're getting ready for bed and then I see you over on your side of the bed and you're getting your 10s unit ready and it's on your back. Yeah. I'm like, I think I want to put mine on my hip tonight. Right. My hip's hurt.
Nothing more romantic than prepping your 10s unit.
We went to the movie the other day.
I wore my 10s unit to the movie. I know what you did. And then you mid-movie went, then took it off. I went, okay, guess you're done with that. That was neat.
I was just sitting here today thinking, God, I wish I had my 10s unit right now. I would wear it right now. I didn't know you had yours.
Yeah. And my gel pads still stick. Oh, you're going to be fine. Bring yours with you. Carry it everywhere.
I need new gel pads, but they won't let me have any. I'm sorry. Because it's not in our insurance plan anymore. And I said, can I just buy them? And she said, no, they're not available for purchase. Which doesn't make any sense. No, it doesn't. Everything is available for purchase. How much money do you want? Probably too much. I don't even care. I need a new gel pad. Yeah.
Can I have your gel pad? No, you cannot. You can buy the refresher spray and refresh your gel pad. But do you buy the refresher spray? On the internet. I told you about this when you were complaining about your 10s unit pads being all gunky. I don't know why yours are so gunky and mine are just so nice.
I think it's because I have lotion body.
You do have lotion body. Yeah. That's a fact. You have lotion body. But anyway, you can refresh them. They make refresher spray and gel. You want to get a conductive gel that will work and then you can make them sticky again. Okay. Okay. And then you'll be fine. All right. They can last for a long time.
Okay, but that doesn't solve the problem of how I need it right now.
No, it doesn't. Do you know what else I think about is maybe you should put them right back onto their papers when you take it off. I know. Because you leave them laying around. Sometimes. And then they collect dust or they fall on the floor or... See, I don't do that.
I know, Josh. You take care of stuff. We all get it.
And that is why I'm not okay with you bar.
I know, Josh.
As long as you know. That's what's important.
You're better at stuff. I get it.
I know. Sure thing. Sorry about your back. I wish I could help. Here's today's show. Start the show. Grab yourself a fruit or a veggie and saddle on up because it's Roots and Veggies Day. Specifically, eat more fruits and vegetables.
I certainly do need to eat more fruits and veggies.
Yeah. But that's one way to start the show, I thought, you know, is by just encouraging people to have yourself a fruit or a vegetable early in the morning. That's wake up and have a broccoli. Or... Sure. Sometimes people wake up looking for broccoli. Yeah.
Kendrick Lamar. Yeah. He does. He does.
It's the thing he do. He says he wakes up looking for the broccoli. And then what happens? I will never know because you turn off the song. Okay. That's the only part I like to listen to. I know. You listen to that one line and you go, okay, I'm good.
Look up looking for the broccoli. Yep. That's... Change. Skip. Next. Yeah. I was listening to a song the other day and I was like, I've never heard this song. I didn't have... I've never heard the end of that song because I got... Typically, I got bored with it midway through and then I would skip it. But I listened to it all the way through. I was like, I've never heard the end of that song.
Is that something you do pretty regularly? I think so. You have a favorite part of a song and then once you get through it, you're like, I'm out. Yeah. Hmm. What do you think that says about me? That's what I was really kind of humming about. Hmm.
What do you think? I...
Hmm. You're a consistent satisfaction type of person. You know what you need to have out of something and then you're like, I've got enough. I'm good. Okay. What I don't know is when that limit is hit with me.
So... I think I make it pretty obvious most of the time.
I know that I can hit a limit and you'll be like, okay, I've had enough. You need to go away. But then you're like, I'm ready to wake up and looking for the Bakli one more time. And then I go, hey, I'm back. And then you go, no, I've had enough. Skip next. What? Yeah. Exactly. It's a metaphor for our relationship.
Anyways. Grab a vegetable. Strawberry. Bananas.
Yeah. Or have a normal breakfast fruit.
What's a normal breakfast fruit? Why isn't strawberries and banana a normal breakfast fruit?
That's what I said. But I was trying to have fun with it. Grab some eggplant. Breakfast eggplant. You ever have that? No. Never. No. I guess have some. That's what I'm saying. Eat more fruits and veggies today. Your body will go, oh, thank you. Yeah. Much appreciated. Yeah, they will. It will. I didn't have all those vitamins. And now I do.
And especially fiber if you're past 40.
Or at all alive. Eat more fiber. Is that what's in Bakli? Yeah. Yeah.
It sure is.
It's a good one. Have some breakfast broccoli. Skip the ranch. All right. Let's try and get a little bit of good news going this morning right here. This is kind of a humongous deal for America. But Atlanta is getting a very special couple of residents from China. Giant pandas.
This is a very big deal. Ping-Ping and Fu-Shuang, I think, are preparing for an 8,000 mile trip to Zoo Atlanta.
The pair have never met before. And zoo officials are hoping that sparks fly once they arrive. Ping-Ping is known for loving bamboo. Fu-Shuang is described as playful, shy, and a big fan of apples.
We know very little about them. Zoo Atlanta says they are thrilled to welcome the pandas as part of an ongoing conservation partnership with China. China, the zoo previously housed two pandas for 25 years. They became some of Atlanta's biggest stars. The Zoo Atlanta president, Raymond King, said we cannot wait to meet Ping-Ping and Fu-Shuang and welcome our community back to the wonder and joy of giant pandas.
Yeah. It's a big, big deal. It's a huge deal.
I don't know that there are pandas at any other zoo in America. Are there?
I don't think so because I think that's been a long, it's been a long-standing thing where China's been like, no, you can't have pandas.
Okay. San Diego apparently recently welcomed a pair of giant pandas, Xinbao and Yanchuan. And you can see them there. And then in Washington, D.C., at the Smithsonian Zoo, they have a pair, Baoli and Kingbao. Okay. So there's only six. That will make six. Big day. Washington, D.C., San Diego and Atlanta coming soon.
Well, Ping-Ping and Fu-Shuang. Right. Welcome. I hope to see you someday.
That would be really cool. I don't think when we went to San Diego at the zoo, they didn't have the pandas then. I've not seen pandas. Me neither. I'd like to.
I would too. Our daughter would also very much love that.
I'd like to see pandas. We'll bring some bamboo. They have it there.
But we'll bring more.
I'll just bring my hand away. Hi, panda. That's what I'll say. Anyway, that is some good news. Here's the thing. I try to follow technology and I sometimes can keep up.
And other times I go, why? What are we doing? Samsung just launched the world's first 6K monitor. Now they've moved on to 8K TVs, so why are we going to a 6K? Interesting. Right. Why are we going backwards? Apparently, this 6K monitor is built specifically for hardcore video gamers.
Okay. It's a 32-inch Samsung 6K monitor that is past the standard 4K screens. So you get this really sharp crystal clear picture that gives players way more visual detail. It also has a special dual mode where gamers can instantly switch from 6K down to a lower resolution that pushes the screen refresh speeds for faster performance.
Okay. Guess how much they want to charge for this monitor for PC gaming? I'm going to say $900.
$1,600. Get out of town. No kidding. But if you're in the market for one of these and you're a serious gamer. I'm not. 6K monitor, 32-inch. That's a big monitor.
I'm neither in need of a monitor or a hardcore gamer unless it comes to MarioGuard.
Which is going to look fine on a... If there's anything we know about Nintendo, it's going to look good on a CRT. You can plug that into an old TV. Yeah. What's a CRT?
The old box TVs. Yeah, it's going to look good on that. It'd look great. It'd be fine. Nintendo does good. Yeah, it does. Yeah, it do. Now, would you have more fun playing it on like the big theater TV?
I mean, not necessarily. I'll have the same amount of fun.
You would? Yeah. You wouldn't be frustrated by... I can't see it so small? I wouldn't. I think you might. Because if you play solo on the big TV, it's an experience.
I haven't actually played Mario Kart in a long time. We are going camping this weekend and you packed the switch in the projector.
That's right. Yes. Because it's fun to hook up the projector in the mountains and play Mario Kart in the dark.
Yeah, it is.
Yeah. It is a good time.
It is a great time until the wind comes up and takes a corner of the screen.
Yeah, the screen goes... Yeah, and you look like you're driving all wavy. So yeah, make that. Make a better camping gaming experience so that Chantel doesn't have a wafty racetrack.
Right. Because I'm usually in the bottom corner because Josh has to be the first player. Here we go. Here we go what?
What? Here we go what?
So you always get the top left. Does that matter? I have to be bottom left. Does that matter? Because Beck likes to be second place. Yeah, it matters, especially if you're playing on a screen that wobbles in the wind.
This sounds like a reason to be upset about losing when it's your own fault. You're blaming a whole lot of stuff on not being able to beat me at Mario Kart.
I'm not blaming you. Because Luigi's the best. Excuse me, disagree.
Who's better than Luigi? Yoshi. Wrong. I've proven that time and time again.
Bro, you didn't even know how to drift until I taught you.
Right, but I do now. I didn't know how to do a lot of things until I learned how. I didn't know you didn't even know how to walk until you learned how to walk. No, but. Yeah.
I tell you how to do that.
Okay, and then I got better at it than you. Oh, you are so dead.
See, you are a serious gamer. You need this $1,600 screen. I don't. Imagine, just imagine how good you'd be if you had this $1,600 screen. You'd be the top of the list right behind me.
We're going to play this weekend. Yes, and I'm going to wipe the floor with you. Yeah, just wait. You act. Just wait.
Oh, I can't wait. I'm excited.
Oh, it's odd. Like Donkey Kong.
Which is a different game that I bet you would also struggle with.
Oh, dude, don't do that.
You got that hammer.
I know how to play that game. I dominated that game.
Do you jump the barrels pretty good? Oh, yeah. How are your ladder skills?
I know exactly what time he's going to throw the barrel. So when you get to that top platform, you got to run over close to him, jump, when he throws the barrel, and then run back and climb. I know the tricks.
That's good. What other games are you good at? Excite bike. Oh, good. The classics.
We are going camping tonight after work. So we were furiously grocery shopping, packing, doing all of the things last night. And I walked into the kitchen and you were sitting at the table making a list.
I know I had the whiteboard out and I had the dry erase marker and I was just, there was dust and smoke flying. I was furiously writing a list. You never write a list.
No, I know. But there was, here's what happened. I reached the point yesterday where I was, I felt like I was doing everything and nothing all at once. And I don't know if you've ever been in that space.
I was in that same exact space. There's so much to do and I've done a whole bunch throughout the whole day and I'm just like, I'm losing focus. I'm not able to keep up with my brain. So I need to hurry and write down things that I'm thinking about so that I can just go to bed. But that was ultimately where I was like, I don't want to forget these things because I'm thinking about so many different things that have to be done and packed and things that I've forgotten.
Where is this and where is that? And I was like, if I don't write this down, I'm not going to remember after I go to bed and I'm not going to be able to go to bed until I get all this stuff done. So I need to just write it down and then go to bed. I walked into the kitchen because I was also going to make a list of things that I didn't want to forget.
I was looking specifically for the whiteboard and you already had it. I know. And I said, you jot down a couple of things that I need. You only said one. Yeah.
And then as I was lying in bed, I thought of more. So now I have a list on my phone. Great. It was a little crazy for me because I like to, I'd like to make a list of everything that I need to pack and then gather it and then pack it. So I don't forget everything. But I was cooking dinner while you were packing the food, which I normally pack. And so I was very out of sorts. I get it. Cause I said, I don't know what he's already packed.
Everything that we bought from groceries except for the stuff that's still in the house has been packed. You're like, did this go out? Everything that is not sitting in this room right now is out there. So if we bought it and you wanted it in the trailer and it's not in this room, it's in the trailer. But I don't know what it was. You've got the receipt.
And then we already, we always just pack way too much stuff. Always, always, always.
Like food wise and stuff.
It's packed with food, packed, packed, packed. And I was still looking around in the kitchen last night going like, hmm. Do I want to bring these snacks? We might get hungry up there.
Memorial weekend. Yeah. Let's get to it. I know. We got to get through all this work, this whole work day. I know. Come on. Just want to go to the woods.
I know. Just give me that five days off.
Yeah. Yeah. This is our last show for the week and then we'll have another show next Wednesday. I know. Which will be nice. We've got a nice little run of days of relaxation in the woods. Kind of in the woods. Well, in the not in town. No. Not in town. Anyway, it should be nice.
It's going to be awesome. I'm excited.
Same. I hope we have enough to eat. Do you need me to pack some more snacks? Maybe. There it was. I was going to say, do you want to tell your perspective first, but you go ahead and then I'll catch up.
Go ahead. There it was. Cook and dinner. Yeah. And I was making macaroni and cheese.
Yes. Like homemade macaroni and cheese. Homemade. Not craft. Yeah. No. This is good stuff.
Bacon and jalapeno. What kind of pasta is that? Those little curly noodles. Cavatappi. Noodles were boiling. I was making like a roux with the cheese.
Yeah. Nice cheese sauce thing.
I'm going to go get my pan. Now, our house was built in the 70s and it is small and there's not a lot of storage space in the kitchen. And we have shuffled our baking dishes. I am constantly moving them because I'm like, well, this place doesn't, this cupboard isn't very satisfactory.
Right. We had them in the corner cupboard. We had all the cookie sheets in the vertical little cookie sheet thing that now holds the cutting boards and the mixing bowls are down in the corner where they always were, but the casserole dishes and stuff are not down there anymore and everything moved up into the top shelf of the pantry. Yes.
Which isn't always a convenient location.
For shorty in the house. I can reach it all, but for you it's a little bit of a challenge. It's tricky. And you didn't want to grab the step stool. No.
I thought I'd be able to handle it. Now I had the nine by 13 on the bottom. Right. And then I had my two nine by nine in the nine by 13 and they were tottered a little precariously when I first grabbed them. They were tottered. I grabbed the nine by 13 to pull it out and I feel the top nine by nine starting to shift and I go, no, no, no, no, no, no. And then it falls, smacks me in the head and it was almost in slow motion, smacks me in the head and I go, oh no, oh no, oh no. Crash. Yeah. A million little glass pieces on the floor. Right. A bajillion.
So I'm loading stuff up in the trailer. I'm outside. I hear nothing. I walk in and I see you with a broom sweeping up a million pieces of little glass. And I went, whoa. I said, what happened? And you're frustrated by the situation and fell on my head and I said, well, you're cooking. Let me clean this up. So I took the broom from you and started sweeping and you were like, there are pieces everywhere. And you weren't kidding. No. They were clear down the hall. They were clear everywhere. Dining room table. They were in the living room. There was pieces of glass everywhere. That thing just popped.
I heard my head. It's pretty heavy.
Yeah. How's that going? Do you have a goose egg? No.
No, I don't actually. Maybe right there.
You're in a little tender spot. Yeah, kind of.
But the most important part is that my kids, our kids, one of them was downstairs. One of them was just feet away down the hall.
Literally 10 feet away.
A huge crash. Yeah. Not a one of them came to check on me. Yeah. Not a single one. Not one of them came out to say, what was that? Couldn't be bothered. I don't even think they still know it happens.
No. The mess has been cleaned up. So they have no clue. No, they have no idea. You know, when there will be someone who notices.
When they go to grab it, that pan, that baking dish.
Oh, one of them will go to get that baking dish to make brownies.
The girl one. Yeah. The boy one will never know. No.
That, that, the fact that those dishes even existed and were on the top shelf is.
Unknown to him. Completely unknown. Yeah. I did manage to get a picture of it because it created quite a mess. Oh, did you? Yeah. I grabbed my phone. It fell and you know how you do this thing where you go, you look at it, you look at the mess and you go, where do I even begin? I went grab my phone, took a picture. That's where I began.
So I came in, you had already started sweeping it up. Let me see the picture of it all. Okay. Everywhere. Oh man.
Tiny little pieces too.
I mean, every little piece. It really blew up. That picture doesn't do it justice. Not come. I mean, I swept.
I know the pile was looking at it going.
And I kept having to tell the dog to get away from the pile. I'm like, I, I don't know. Maybe I don't sweep enough around the dog, but does she always get in the dust pile? Yes. Or was she just particularly curious about this one?
No, she's curious about everything. She's always around. She's always like, Hey, what's going on? I'll check this out.
What's this going on?
Well, thanks for coming to my rescue because nobody else did.
Well, if that's what you want to call it, I just showed up and then. You showed up. Josh needed some help.
He showed up. My night in shining armor. Oh, look at me.
The man with the broom and the dust pan has arrived.
Like Santa, the man with the, instead of the man with the bag, you're the man with the broom. Look at that. Here to help. He's talking with the man in the boot. All right. You might remember that I, we told a story not too long ago where I. Choose Josh's library card to check out some books. You choose. Did I say that?
Yeah. You used. Josh's library card to check out some books that became overdue. That's right. And then I owed $30, $28 and change. I owed in late fees once and was a surprise. And then you said more recently, Hey, I forgot my card. Can I borrow yours? And I went, no, and you went, they don't even charge fees anymore. There's no such thing. They don't, but here's what I found out. What'd you find out? I had a book. Yes.
And it was about a, let's see, it was due. It was about two and a half weeks.
Overdue. Overdue. No way.
Now listen to me when I say that I am normally very responsible about taking my books back.
You're responsible about a lot of things. I am. Library is not top of that list.
Yeah, it is. Normally this particular book I purposely was like, I know it's late. Yeah. I, I gotta finish it. Yeah. I'm so close. I just have to finish it. You were like halfway through. I was about halfway through.
Wasn't like you had six pages left.
No, no. And then I just got busy and then I didn't have time to read it. Right. And they just kept sending me like, oh, your book is overdue. You still have that book.
Here's what I know about the library. Yeah. They don't charge you late fees anymore.
Right. But if your book is overdue, you can't recheck it out. And so I knew that I was unable to recheck it out. And so then I was like, well, I'm just gonna keep it. I know, I know it's very irresponsible.
And you still haven't finished the book. I still haven't. So you, I know you went to the library. What happened?
Yeah. So I got the fifth notice.
That's a lot of notices, dude.
Then it said, uh, that's after them telling you like two or three times that, hey, your due dates coming up. I know. So that's like seven or eight notifications. I know, Josh. All right. Go ahead.
And then they said, finally they said, Hey, you got to renew or return these items to avoid lost
charges, which is where they make you buy the book.
And I was like, I'm not going to do that.
So I finally, how much would they have charged you 30 bucks? I bet.
I don't know. I don't know. So I finally went into the library yesterday and I said, listen, can I, I know this book is very late. I'm very sorry. Is it possible for me to just recheck it out so I can finish it? And she, the librarian, got a little bit judgy.
Oh, because she looked at your account history and went, you have a problem. No, she said, how late is it? And I said, it's very late. And she goes, is it late enough that we've considered it lost? And I go, not yet.
Not quite. But you're close. Can't she look up that information?
I'm sure she can. So she checks the book.
I feel like that's like paying taxes where they're like, they know all the information, but they're like, do you know the information? Like that's when your parents like, you're in trouble and you're like, what did I do? And you're like, you know what you did.
You tell me what you're in trouble for. You go to the bank and you're like, hey, can I pull out 20 bucks? And they're like, I don't know if you've got.
If you'd like to talk to our loan officer, we can get you 20 bucks.
I'm looking at your account. You're pretty financially irresponsible. Okay. So she's, I'm feeling a little bit judged and it could be totally my perception. It is. And I'm embarrassed and I'm like, I know I'm sorry. I'm really sorry. This is on you. And she says, normally we might be able to let you check it out again, but there's a hold on it.
Which means someone's waiting for you to bring that book back. And that made me feel like such a jerk because I've been the person waiting on hold. Yeah. And I'm like, just turn the book in. Just turn the book in. Yeah.
Well, it doesn't help that the book that you had just became a movie on Netflix and people want to read the source material yourself included, but couldn't finish.
Well, and here's the other part. What's the other part? When I went to check that book out, like a month ago, there were like three shelves on the, or copies on the shelf. And so then when she goes, there's a hold on it. I go, I know for a fact that there were three copies.
Yeah, but it's a popular show on Netflix right now. So that I bit online. You did go check. I was like, I'm going to go and see if they do have some copies in stock. Yeah. No, they're all on hold and not just on hold, but there's like 15 people on hold. Yeah. They've been waiting for that book and even holding onto it for two and a half weeks. And you didn't even finish it.
I know. Here's my public apology to the library and specifically the librarian. All right. Cause I was like, you're being awfully judgy about my book.
Okay. So you're not getting back in line to check that out. How are you going to finish the book? Because we're waiting to watch the show because you said, I want to watch it, but we can't until I finish the book. I know.
So now what? I know. I either have to go buy the book or because they have an app, the library has an app where you can like get an audio book of it. Fit the line for that too. What's that about? What do you mean? Why do they have a limit? I don't know. I don't understand that either.
What are you looking at? I'm trying to see how much this book is.
I know. I could go buy it, but I hate buying books.
Hard covers 19 bucks. Paperbacks 13. Okay.
Easy peasy. I'll just buy it. Sorry library. Sorry people waiting. And most especially sorry that I was, I wasn't mean to the librarian, but I'm sorry that I thought that you were judging me. You weren't. You were just like, lady.
And she's doing her job.
Yeah. And she knows that there's 14, 15 people waiting to see this book.
I was just going to check the catalog really quick.
I'm sorry to the librarian because I did send a text to Josh and I said, that librarian was judging me.
One, two, three, they have four copies.
The library does? Yes. Well, one is like part of a book club.
I see that there's a book club book club copy, which means that one doesn't leave the library. Is that what that means?
No, it's just like a, they have like these book clubs to go and it's like a bag and you get like 13 copies to share with like your book clubbers. We'll borrow that. I can't be responsible for that. What is that? 13 books? Yeah, what is somebody?
You imagine you check out the whole book club thing. I got to finish this book and there's all these people waiting. Those have all been checked out. They're due back on May 30th.
No, the ones I saw were like June.
Well, the book club is due back on the 30th. Oh, the book clubs are checked out too. Yeah. Oh yeah. It's all checked out.
You guys, when I went there a month ago, they were all there on the shelf.
The book came out in 2022. It's not brand new.
I understand. But then the show came out on Netflix. Now everybody wants to watch it.
That's right.
I got the hundred pages left to read. Please librarian. Just let me keep it for the weekend. Emory told me yesterday that she, she went to Dutch Bros. Dutch Bros is probably one of her favorite places to go. Every day when you would pick her up, refreshment.
Can we get a refreshment? Yeah. Anybody else need a treat? Want a treat?
And now that she's been able to drive herself every day, she goes, I just don't know if I'm brave enough to go through the drive-through yet.
Well, she said she's not ready for that. I'm not ready for that bro. So she parks and goes to the window, which is fine.
Yeah, it is fine. She sent us a text yesterday and said, I went to Dutch Bros.
Yeah. Is that how she talks? Hey, I want a refreshment. I got to go to Dutch Bros. She's very whispery. Okay, go ahead.
So then I said, great. Did you drive through? And she said, no. No, I'm not ready for that bro. She said, I walked up because I liked that better. And I go, okay. And then she said, I pulled the dad move. What's that mean? And I said, what does that mean? And she said, oh, when they asked me if I wanted to leave a tip, I said, yeah, go ahead and throw a dollar on there. Yeah.
And they always go, oh, thank you.
The way that she told me. Oh yeah. Oh yeah. It was just like, oh yeah, go ahead and throw a dollar on there. And I go, do you say it all cool and cash like that?
You have to. You have to say it like that.
And we laughed and laughed and laughed. And go ahead and throw a dollar on there. She did a hand motion and everything. She was like, yeah, go ahead and throw a dollar on there.
Yeah. I got money to throw around and have a dollar.
And that's exactly what you say every time.
Well, because they turn the thing around. Just a couple of questions for you. Just throw a dollar on there. If I had a dollar, I'd hand you a dollar, but just throw a dollar. She said, I hate the tip culture thing.
But she said she was feeling very, I go, oh, a dollar.
Money bags. And she goes, well, he was really nice. And I go, I think they probably have to share that tip with everyone working.
Right. At the end of the day, however, there, I don't know how it works. I don't know how it works either. Hey, you made 46 cents in tips today. Nice. Nice. I don't know how it works.
Well, good job. You know how they say that thing as a parent, you're always teaching.
Oh, yes. Very much. Your kids are always like, throw a dollar on there.
That's what you deserve it. Oh, cool. Jill. I'm so cool and Jill. Go ahead.
Like those are, those are the ones that sort of bug me the most, I think. The ones that are like, I'm not sitting down and being served a meal. Like this has been the conversation. Right. Like if I order standing up before I take my seat. It's awkward for everybody. It is awkward for everybody. But occasionally I'll be like, yeah, throw a dollar on me.
She finally did tell me that the reason that she likes walking up better than driving through is because you can order and then walk away and just wait quietly. You don't have to wait and have a silly little small talk with the window.
Yeah. If the window is where you have to order. I understand that. I can I can appreciate that. Yeah. But if like in the wintertime, no way. But if you are pulling through, you're just sitting in your car. So if they're like, hey, you know, thank you for your order, pull up to the window.
You're just going to sit there. And then when you get to the window, they go, hey, repeat your order. And you go, yep, that's me. And then they handed to you and you're out of there. No, you're not out of there. If you if you're one person getting one drink, you're out of there.
OK, if you've got a car
full of people, if you got a car full and a dog.
Hey, what are you doing today?
What's going on? What's good? What's happening? They've really tamed that down. They actually have. I think I think they change their strategy. But I did see that their customer satisfaction is like through the roof compared to other coffee shops. Other quote unquote, the one the one from Seattle. Made. They're they're not super high on the satisfaction.
I actually read that article, too. And yeah, oh, it's a battle.
That's competition anyway. Well, glad she learned to how to how to properly tip. Go ahead, throw a book out there. Yeah, you never dollar.
Have you ever had your computer break and then you have to call it and let me lay out the scene. I was at work yesterday, quietly minding my business and all of a sudden error pops up on my screen that says threat detected, virus detected. And then there were like three more pop ups and I went, oh, crud. And then I go, what did I do? What have I done to ruin my computer? And I call the IT guy and I go, hey, I got a problem. And so he goes, OK, can I manually take over your computer?
I'm going to pop on in there and take a look. Go ahead and check out this website and enter this code. And then they pop in and they go, OK, I'm going to go ahead and drive. Yeah, yeah, that's what he did. And then you just sit there watching.
And yep, I'm just watching him do his stuff and he's quiet on the phone. And then he pulls up my browsing history while I'm sitting there. And if you've ever watched somebody pull up your browsing history, that's a little embarrassing. And not that I've been doing anything inappropriate, but if you look at your browsing history, like I got spam dog.
Oh, yeah, because you were looking at that. That's interesting. Now I'm curious. Now I want to go look. I'm going to take a look in here.
Ostrich versus T-Rex. History. Our dad bod's out. That kind of stuff on your browsing history.
Let's see. I've got this all normal work stuff. I'm trying to see the library because we talked about that. We watched some great owls a minute ago, so I've got that.
Yeah, I have. Do spiders memorize your routine to avoid you? OK, because I heard they do that. OK, the answer is no, by the way. So stuff like that. Yeah.
I mean, all my stuff is work stuff. Like I'm trying to find like anything fun. Like all this stuff is.
So he's like going through my browsing history and he sees that stuff about spider.
I have. I have Googled ostrich fighting.
OK, see. And then he sees like, oh, you've been doing an awful lot of online shopping. He doesn't say that to me, but I can see him looking at the history going, OK, there's that. Shopping store, there's that shopping store.
I don't think he's looking specifically. No, he's not. He's looking for like, is there, you know, like a weird browser or, you know, some sort of like something that's a red flag.
Yeah, it's like, what have you done? Right. Kind of thing. And so then you're sitting there awkwardly going, yeah, I know, I goofed up somehow, but I don't know how. And then he goes, here's what the problem is.
And I go, just tell me, but don't tell me. Just fix it and then just tell me. What was the problem? I don't know, Josh. He said a bunch of computer things.
And then I said, is it fixed? And he goes, yeah, I'm going to have to clear your cash and your cookies. And I went, sure, don't know what that means.
Just go ahead. And he did. And then you know, and then I was fine. But you know how, did you know that clearing your cash and your cookies means that it logs you out of everything? Yes, it does. And then you have to go, I had that saved.
Like I could just Google that and it would just pop up and then I could just go in. And now I had to redo all of it. Yeah. So that was annoying.
Yes. But also a lot of garbage gets stuck in your cash and cookies. Yeah. So you got to, you got to clear that thing out sometimes. Like the lint trap in your dryer. Yeah, I know. If you don't clear it out, you'll burn the house down.
He cleaned it out. It's all good now. Ta-da. Look at that. I wonder if he was just, I wonder what the weirdest thing he saw in my browsing history was. I wonder what the thing was.
Spam dogs. Spam dogs. I bet he's hanging, he's hanging onto that one. He's like, what? What is a spam dog?
And why were you looking at it?
Yeah. Hmm. Spam dogs. And now he's like worried about it. He's like, what am I missing? I don't know the whole story.
Thanks, IT guy. Yeah. It did me a solid way to go.
Well, I just discovered a webcam. It's a live cam feed. Showing you one earlier of baby owls. And they were kind of hanging out in a stump.
We've been watching the baby eagles. Right. But the baby owls.
Yeah. And then I saw there was an Osprey live cam, which is exciting. There's all kinds of different live cams.
I got to check out the live cams more often.
Here's one. This is a Mad River Valley television in Vermont. OK. This is the Covered Bridge live cam. Oh, how exciting.
Is that the bridge that the Beetlejuice people died on? I don't know. You know that bridge? Gina Davis and.
Yeah, but I don't know. This is the Vermont Covered Bridge webcam in HD. Oh, someone drove through. How about that? Something happened. OK. There's a construction sign. And then a stop sign. What else does that say? Can you tell? It says. Speed limit three miles per hour, maybe.
Weight limit three tons.
Oh, weight limit. I can't go through. Is your truck too big? Yeah, that's it. No, it's me, not the truck. Josh. Oh, come on. Can you imagine if I weighed three tons?
What did you tell me this morning about me? Oh, someone else just drove through. Go back, go back. Yeah? What did you say earlier about being nice to yourself? Yeah, something. It's be nice.
I don't think that one that just went through stopped. OK. Because there is clearly a stop sign.
Why do you want to watch this Covered Bridge?
I don't. Why does this have a live cam? I don't know. I mean, it looks nice. Look, the Mad River, look at it. I mean, I would fish there.
I assumed when you said it was the Mad River cam, I was like, oh, we're going to be watching people fishing.
This is a busy bridge. That's three cars since we started talking about it. I've gone through. There's a fourth.
Go back to the owls. I like them.
But there's this Covered Bridge webcam. Yeah, they're sure. There's another one. There's a lot of people going that direction. Only one car has gone the other way.
There's got to be sat melts. Surely.
It also includes a nice little temperature thermometer down there in the corner. How do you? So you can know that it's 51 degrees there at that bridge. Live cameras around the world. Oh, there's so many.
I'm going to find one. Are there any with animals? I don't know. It would be really cool if they had like a baby skunk. OK. They have a pygmy hippo cam.
OK. There's a lot of animal cams.
Yeah, that's what I want to watch. I don't want to watch bridges.
This is the Mad River Valley television Covered Bridge in the Mad River Valley.
Oh, I'm full unaware. Look at it.
It's just sitting there. You know what? Here's the thing with the eagles and the baby owls and all that. Like there's action. There's stuff happening.
This is literally a camera planted at a bridge. It's a road. Like, OK, you know how people get stuck in the underpass sometimes? Put a camera there. Let me watch that.
I did see, hey, just as a side note, I did see there is a big construction plan to put in some warning signs about the height of that underpass that semis get stuck in all the time. They're putting in like a big effort to make that more well known. Good. Which I'm like, yeah, good idea.
Good idea. Four cars just went through the bridge. Josh. All the same direction. I've only seen one go the other way. Just I just think it's important that you know.
I think we all know we got it. The bridge is busy. OK, look, I found a koala cam.
OK, koala sleep 20 hours a day. You're worried about a bridge being boring? Ooh, a platypus cam. Now that's interesting. Let's check that one out. But they move about. Yeah, I know.
Hold on, I can't find it. All right. OK, I'm going to find something cool to watch.
OK. Because we're not busy in here. We're just watching live cams of bridges.
And they pay us to do it. How tired do you feel today? Slightly. Slightly? Yeah. So you don't need a 48 ounce of bucket of coffee? No. No, I do not. 48 what? 48 ounces. Ounces. Ounces. That's so much. How many cups is that? Hold on.
OK. More than cups is like my. Six cups. My Nalgene, right, is 32. Your big one? The big one is, I think the big one is probably 48. OK.
That's crazy. That's so much. We don't have a Dunkin' Donuts here, but they are. Oh no, hold up. Yeah. Yeah, yeah, yeah. What? I thought I would got it wrong. But yeah, it's 48 ounce. That's so much. So if you have a large at Starbucks, it's 24 ounces. Right, so it's two of those.
So it's twice those. They're going to be available starting tomorrow. They are $13 and you can fill them. They're fully customizable. You can fill them with whatever you want. No thanks. They're going to have. It's a bucket. 25.
I'm looking at a picture of it. It's a bucket.
How are you going to fit that? People are having a hard time fitting their standlies in there.
Hold on, hold on, hold on, hold on. Yeah, it's not fitting in a couple. Are you going to put that in the seat with the seat belt on next to you? Listen, when we go to the Sonic happy hour thing to get my big ocean water, I get that root 44. That's 44 ounces of ocean water. Maybe I'm not that crazy. I love that ocean water. I know you do. I do that in some tater tots. I'm good to go.
If anybody ever wants to know the way to Chosh's heart, it's ocean water and tater tots.
It's pretty simple. I'm a pretty simple guy. I like tater tots and I like ocean water.
And you are a creature of comfort. That's right. When you find what you like, you're like, yep, I'm sticking with that.
So when you guys go, hey, you want a refreshment? Every time I go, do I want tater tots and ocean water right now? Is it between two and five? Yeah, let's go. And I get that big 44 ounce and I love it. So if I was really super into this, this might be not that bad. I'm not that into it.
It is a bucket.
It is a little baby bucket. It's kind of cute. You want the bucket?
Kind of. If it was reusable, like is it plastic?
You can use it as a trick or treat bucket, like Arctic Circle's pumpkins. Oh, yeah. That's what the size is. It's that size. It's the size of an Arctic Circle trick or treat bucket.
If you want to know what to compare it to, or even like the ones McDonald's did for a long time. Yeah, that size. But full of some iced coffee beverage.
It says that they are not meant to be shared and there's only room for one straw.
Unless you take off the lid. Come on, dude.
They won't fit in your cup holder, which we already talked about. And you will not be able to get a refill.
So it's a one time use. What a waste. You can't bring it back and go, please refill my bucket.
Refill my bucket. That's a, isn't that a self help book? Refill my bucket? No, it's how full is your bucket. And the idea is that you can't. Or is it just fill your bucket? No.
How full is your bucket? That's a, that's a book. It's a book.
Yeah. You know that idea of like, you have a bucket full of water. And if you keep dishing out water to everybody who's thirsty, there's going to be no water left in your bucket. So you have to keep some water in your bucket. You have to take care of yourself before you can help other people or while you're helping other people. Because if you're constantly helping other people, you're left with nothing.
Well, guess what? You can only fit one straw in this bucket and it's locked down tight. You know, refills. What a waste. It's $13. I said that. That's insane. It's $13 for one of these buckets.
Dude, apparently this went viral last year.
It's- Oh yeah, people are gonna go nuts for this. Because everybody's like, look at my bucket, I'm coming. Oh, look at that. You're not drinking that whole thing. And you know what? No, what? That's gonna make you have to go to the bathroom so much. Stop it. But I will take a 44 ounce ocean water, you know, whenever. I'm good to go. Look, it's four ounces difference. It's a lot less. It's a lot, yes. Maybe two. I love tater tots.
We are going camping this weekend and we got a couple of new games. And every time we get a new game, here's what happens. You like the strategy games. You like the strategy games that take a couple of hours to play.
Or an hour. And there- I mean, I don't like to get stuck in like a monopoly. No. And I understand it's not a strategy game. I don't like a game that lasts hours and hours and hours. I like a game that takes 45 to 60 minutes, lets you get immersed, has a little bit of thinking involved. I like something like that. Okay.
When you have been the designated rule reader. Okay. In our family. You understand the rules. You have a really nice way of reading the rules and making people understand them.
I would disagree. I feel like I review the rules. I figure out the mechanics of the game. And then I try to teach everyone while they're on their phones. And then they go, I don't understand what's happening. And I went, eyes up front, I'm teaching. I have terrible classroom management when it comes to teaching games.
You do. And mostly with you and your sister. That's, those are the two people who it's really difficult to teach games to. It's you and your sister. And then you go, we want to have fun, but this is boring.
And I go, it's not boring. You didn't pay attention when I was going over the rules. So now you're asking all of the questions I answered before. And now you're frustrated because now I'm getting a little short because I watched you check an Instagram while I was talking.
Whoa. What nerve.
Don't designate me in charge of the games anymore.
It has to be you. You're the good one at it.
Then I'm taking phones and putting them in a little shoe holder until we're done. Oh no, what am I gonna do? Yeah, you're gonna listen to the rules.
What I like to do is pretend.
Scroll Instagram while I'm talking. I don't always understand the instructions, but then it looks like I'm looking at everyone around me understanding the instructions. And I go, hmm.
And then I pretend that I know the instructions.
So why would you say that I'm good at it? I think you are good at it. For everyone else, but not you and your sister.
No, I think that's my problem. That's not a you problem. You're good at explaining. I'm just not good at listening so much. That's a me problem, not a you problem.
That's weird because then it becomes a me problem, doesn't it? You didn't explain that. No, I did. You just weren't listening. You were watching a reel. Yeah, it was important.
I got bored listening. There's a lot of rules in some of your games. Yeah. And so then I have to sit and listen.
But that's why I try to break it into pieces. Like I'll figure out that like a game has a learning curve to it where it'll be like, okay, these are kind of the fundamental things that you need to know. Like you know the objective of the game. The objective is to get the most victory points.
And you go, what are those? And I go, every time those are the points that you're going to earn throughout the game that we're going to total at the end. And whoever has the most wins, victory points. It never changes. The definition of victory points never changes. What's a victory point? What are you really asking?
You're already frustrated.
We have started a new game. I know. This is a deck building game. Everyone is going to play off of the same set of cards. How many cards do I get to start? Stop it.
That's a good question.
That's a valid question. I will get to that. The objective is to get victory points. What are victory points? See the bottom of the card? Where it has that little five and a star. Those are your victory points. Whoever has the most of those at the end of the game wins. We only want the five ones or do we want some of the fours? Listen to me. It doesn't matter. We're going to add them up at the end.
Josh is a very patient person, but if you want to see him get frustrated, play a game with them.
Yeah, play board games. Play board games with phones around. Whose turn is it? Every time we stop, it's one of you two. If you'd put your phone down, you'd know whose turn it was.
Okay, but here, listen. I play a game because it's a community experience. It's a shared thing. We're having fun. We're chit chatting. We're waiting for people to go. You get very focused and you go, no, I'm here to play a game. That's correct. And then you don't do any talking at all and you're just like focused on the game.
Because that's what we're here to do. Meanwhile. We're here to play this game. You said you wanted to play a game, play the game. You didn't say, I want to scroll on my phone while playing a game.
I'm also playing. I'm playing and scrolling and talking.
This is under about every three minutes. Whose turn is it? No, you want to guess? I'll give you two guesses. How fun, this will be fun. It is. I'm glad we got a whole bunch of new games to play. I get to teach. Me too. Yeah. What's a victory point?
I know what a victory point is, Josh. How many cards do I get to start?
It depends which game are we playing? Depends on... Sometimes none. What are you gonna do now? I don't even have anything to hold. Guess I'll hold my phone. Exactly.
Would you wear a blindfold for 24 hours in exchange for $10 million? Yes. I know I would too. You can't sleep and you can't touch the blindfold.
I'm gonna have to sleep within 24 hours. You can't. I have to stay awake for 24 hours. And be blindfolded?
Yeah, you can't take the blindfold.
That's gonna be the hardest part. You can't take the blindfold off even for a second. Not even to eat or go to the bathroom. You must stay at home and you cannot fall asleep. If you do the challenge ends and you get nothing. That's gonna be the hardest part. Is not falling asleep? For 24 hours. Like I'm gonna have to really work on it.
What are you gonna be able to do? When you got lay six surgery.
And when you got lay six surgery.
I had to keep you awake for four hours before you could fall asleep. You weren't allowed to watch TV.
Right, but I also had, like the reason you're tired is not because your eyes are covered. The reason you're tired is because of the anti-anxiety medication.
But I also know that you in particular, the second you sit down and close your eyes, you're done.
So this will be hard for you. That's what I'm saying. It's gonna, the hardest part is gonna be not sleeping.
And figuring out what to do.
I can fill the time.
I can listen to shows. You'll fall asleep, dude. You'll fall asleep. What else am I gonna do? I can't see. You can't fall asleep.
No, I know. I'm just saying I'm gonna listen to shows. Yeah, but. Because what else can I do?
I know, I'm telling you.
I'm gonna bump into stuff if I go walking around.
The second you stop and put on a show to listen to, you're done.
Who's gonna guide me around so that I can just wander for 24 hours? Who do you think? You're gonna run me into stuff on purpose because you'll think it's funny.
Yeah, I will. I know. You gotta not do that.
You can't bang me into the corners of walls and be like, no, you didn't see that?
I think the hardest part, too, you can't touch the blindfold. I think a natural response, if you can't, like if you're struggling to see something, your natural response is to take a peek.
I would have enough self-control to not do that. But I would really struggle with not falling asleep for 24 hours.
That would be your biggest struggle.
Even if I made it 18, that's six. I'm gonna be like, I really could sleep right now. Somebody's gotta take me for a walk.
I'll do it. You'll be sleeping. No, I'll take you for a walk. Into stuff. Let's go take a walk.
I don't trust you. I know. This is why you won't do trust falls is because you wouldn't catch yourself. You would move out of your own way. And you can't trust other people because you know, you're like, yeah, they're probably gonna drop me because I would drop them.
That's not true. I wouldn't drop anybody. I wouldn't.
You're gonna run me into walls and then make me believe. Lightly. Yeah. You don't control my speed.
This is a joke. It's not like I'm gonna run you. You say it like it's so aggressive. Like I'm gonna.
I'm going to collide with an immobile object.
You're not gonna collide. It's gonna be a light graze. Chill out, dude. I didn't. I'm gonna need a different partner to help me stay awake.
And that's what there is to that. I don't know. Why, Josh? Because you're gonna run me into stuff for fun.
Okay, but listen to me. When you had to stay awake for four hours after you got your lay stick and you couldn't watch TV and you couldn't read a book, I came up, I was so entertaining. I had so many, I was like, let's play this game. I was doing good stuff. I'll be the best partner you've ever had. I can't even believe you. Don't run me into walls. Light graze.
Zero walls. Not even one. I'm gonna bump you into stuff. It'll make me laugh. I did. None. I need a new partner. I need someone who I know is not gonna run me into stuff.
Okay, pick somebody boring. Yeah. You're gonna fall asleep in no time because your new partner is gonna be so boring. Have fun.
I will, and then I'll have $10 million. Okay. And then I'll be awake for every day. Would you rather this or that?
Hold on. I was just taking a drink of water and I like, ugh. Did it taste bad? No, but didn't, that was fine. The taste was fine, but the smell. What's wrong with your lid? I don't know.
Is it the water? I don't know. Smell it. Smell the water. What stinks? I don't know. Is it your hand?
I gotta go clean that out here in a minute. Gross. I know, I just said, oh, okay.
Anyway, would you rather this or that? Live radio, folks.
Would you rather milk a cow or shear a sheep? I'm gonna let you answer this first. I'm gonna shear a sheep. You are? I am.
Have you seen the process of sheep shearing? I have. I bet you're not gonna do it.
I bet I'm gonna do that before I milk a cow.
What is wrong with milk and a cow? I don't know. I'll milk a cow, it's easy.
I just can't, I just cannot do it. Why? I think the smell of it and all the little hairs.
You don't think literally dealing with the wool on a sheep and the smells of a sheep
are gonna be the same or worse? I understand, I just feel like that's the better of the two options.
I wanna pull up that little wooden stool and I'm just gonna, I'm gonna get some bag bomb going and I'm gonna sanitize the udder and I'm gonna milk a cow. It's no big deal.
I know, I just, I find it so gross. I just know that once I sit down on the stool, I'm gonna get a whiff of something or a minute. You're gonna get a whiff of something when you walk in the barn. I understand, I understand. And I know that there's people listening right now, they're like, you're such a niny.
A niny? Okay, all right.
I don't even care. I just don't think I'm gonna be able to do it.
I'm super curious to watch you try. I do. I would like to watch you milk a cow, milk a goat and shear a sheep. And I know the state fair is coming up and I know we can arrange this.
There are people listening that have access to these animals and they're like, yep, swing on by the barn. And we will let you milk the cow, milk the goat and shear the sheep.
I don't wanna do any of it. I don't wanna do any of it.
None. None. You don't wanna like feed a carrot to a horse.
I mean, yeah, I'll do that. That's fine.
Fine, I'm happy to do that. Okay, that was fine. It's fine, the limit. You'll feed a carrot to a horse. Yes. Fine. Will you clean out one of the stalls? No. No.
Mm-mm. Okay. Again. I'm trying to, I'm just, these are different experiences on the farm.
Mm-mm. You know, they have that horse washing area. Would you wash a horse? Yeah. You would wash a horse. Mm-hmm. But you won't clean out the stable thing. No. All right.
It makes no sense. I understand. I am a weirdo.
No, it's fine. You have things that you will and won't do. I get it.
We've been watching a farm show. That's right. On TV. And I just, every time I watch it, I go, that's not the life for me. I appreciate everything farmers do. I am not that person. Uh-huh. And I don't want to be. And I'm happy that we get to choose.
We almost chose chickens. I know. What were we even thinking? You were thinking that the little baby chicks were cute.
They are so cute. Right. I would like a chicken. I just don't want to lay eggs. I don't think I could eat the eggs.
You eat eggs. I know. What is going on?
The eggs I get from the store have been washed. Yeah. They've been cleaned and they're cold.
What in the world? Does that have anything to do with anything? I don't like warm eggs.
They're the same eggs. I know. I know. We got eggs once and they were warm and they were dirty. I know. I know I sound ridiculous. I totally understand. I get it. I know.
So I'm milk and a cow. You're shearing a sheep. It's not happening. It's not going to happen.
No, it's not.
Because you're not going to do it. There's no way you're going to lean that sheep up against you to be able to even get the shears close enough. If I had to, I would. You do.
That's a requirement. I know I would. No, it is. Okay, then I will. Yeah, right. Bro, the second you tell me that I can't do it or you don't think I will.
I'll do it. I also don't think you can snowboard and you can't ride the lift. No, I won't do it. See, I know. I know. I know. If you're a person who's in like a high profile position, like you have an important job to do, it's probably really important that you do your important job well. Let me give you a little story.
Okay. Jackson Smith and Jigba. He's a wide receiver for the Seattle Seahawks. He received the award for the 2025 offensive player of the year. He got the trophy. It's an important job putting the little engraving things on a trophy.
Oh, no.
He posted a video on his Instagram story with the caption that says, it's getting disrespectful at this point. What happened? I mean, his name's a little bit wonky to spell. His name was fine, but they spelled offensive, O-E-F-E-N-I-S-I-V-E. O-E-F-E-N. So instead of defensive, it was O-E-F-E-N-I-S-I-V-E. What the heck? Yeah. So they spelled it wrong, so it looked like he got the 2025 defensive player of the year, but he didn't. He got the O-E-F-E-N-I-V-E.
Nobody... He's no one spell checked this. Yeah, nobody decided to say, hey, could you take a peek at this and make sure it looks okay?
Yeah, before we send this off to the guy who was receiving this award, the NFL office said that the new trophy is being made for him, and they said, like the teams he played against this year, we know how great an offensive player he is. We just had a problem spelling it. So they're apologizing, kind of sorta. But that's pretty funny. I don't know how that happened.
I mean, we've all made those kind of mistakes before, where, I don't know. I have sent out an email a time or two, and I haven't spell checked, and I haven't... And email's one thing. I understand. I get it.
Like you're not presenting a once in a long, like this is like a once in a career thing. Like you could probably earn this multiple years, but every year there's new people trying to get that award. Like you've gotta work really hard to be the number one offensive player in the entire league. There's a lot of people trying to get that award. And then you get it and it's spelled wrong. Like, come on. You got a big job. Do your big job.
But they did spell his name right, correct?
According to the post, yes. Which I think is the harder thing to spell.
I agree. I agree. Maybe they spent so much time working on spelling his name correctly, they were like, eh, the rest of it doesn't matter.
Do you know how to spell his name? I do not. So his name is Jackson, J-A-X-O-N. Okay. Smith, pretty easy. Hyphenated, N-J-G-B-A, which is N-J-I-G-B-A. So that's way harder. Yeah, it is. Because there's a couple of different ways to spell Jackson. And in Jigba is, that's, them sounded out, but.
They spent so much time focusing on getting his name right that they were like, eh, the rest of it doesn't matter.
I think whoever made the trophy made the defensive one first. And they were like, sweet, I just have to change one thing. I'll change that to an O and we're good. I think that's exactly what happened.
I think so too. And then this whole thing went public and they went, oh no. That's not how you spell offensive at all. That spells O-F-E-N-C-I-V. For shame. Hey, this is our last show for the week.
