Full show transcript:
We didn't talk once this morning about the baby eagles, but just quick update, they are still in the nest. They're still there. At one point, you said, look at the eagles, and all four of them were hanging out. It was a family photo. One last family photo.
Those times are getting fewer and fewer and fewer, aren't they? Yep. Those two are gonna fledge real soon. Okay. Hey.
What's up? Hey. It's Monday, my nineteenth. We're just a couple of loaves loafing around. Did you say it's my nineteenth?
It's Monday, my nineteenth. You might have. It's fine. We were loafing. We were loafing.
Loafing. Like a couple of loaves. What does your voice mail message sound like? It sounds like, hey. What's up?
It's Josh. Call me. K. Bye. Hey.
Hey. That's what I do. Hey. The Quilters is a lovely documentary. Yeah.
Feel good one. Yeah. Thanks for sharing that with me. The little blender that could or could not. I tried.
I don't think it tried very hard. Well, learn how to work it. Josh ate lazy nachos in the bed. Don't tell everybody. It's a secret.
Thanks to everyone that came to the second chance prom on Saturday. Yeah. It was awesome. Great time. Josh's motorcycle ride got rained out.
And I'm sad about it still. I know. I wanna go ride my bike. I know. That's a lot of cheese, bro.
Yes. Yes. It was. From the closing of the Pine Ridge Mall in Pocatello comes a new hair salon. Woah.
Purdy in pink. I took a nap on purpose, and Josh woke up from an accidental one. That is the fact. We had a mini date. It was romantic.
And there's a bed on a cliff or something like that. Yeah. I'm not going. You enjoy your time, though. I will.
We are Josh and Chantel. This is wake up classy 97, the podcast. Enjoy today's show. Let the weird week before Memorial Day weekend begin. Why is it a weird week?
Because it's a short week. Because, lots of folks, us included, are trying to get the most out of the weekend. And so, it's it's shorter in days for work, which means you gotta do a little extra to make it all pan out. Yeah. That's typically how that goes.
Typically. And then, it's also, like, recovery from this weekend. I'm still beat. Are you? I am I am just beat.
You did a lot of work for that second chance from It's wild. I just gotta go show up and dance. Yeah. I didn't do a lot of work, but I appreciate those who did. Thank you, Josh.
Well and and not as much physical. I mean, there's a there's a bit of physical work, but there's there it's the it's the hustle of the whole thing, trying to coordinate things and be places and hit times. And, like, there's it's it's a runaround. There's a lot of stuff to run around and get taken care of Right. And and to think about.
I know it goes yeah. I know it goes into a party planning. Yeah. You did good. You and your team did good.
I was part of your team. Yeah. You're part of the team. Well, I am part of the team, but I didn't do much in the way of honestly, my role on the team was very minimal compared to some others. So thanks, guys.
Yeah. Well else, you did great. You put on a good show. I'm very much still trying to recover. It feels like I just haven't, like, mentally dumped the whole thing and been like, it it's done.
You know? Like, it's it's finished for the year. I still feel like the the the weight of it, if that makes any sense. I get it. Yeah.
Just brush it off, man. And then Move on to the next thing. Yesterday, I didn't get out of the house much because it was super rainy and so, you know, which was fine. Just loafing around. We were being total loafs.
A lot of loafing around, which you think you'd feel rested. We took a short nap. You said about ten minutes? Yeah. I don't think it was much longer than that.
Just kinda fell asleep is what that was. Just Dozing? Mhmm. Because we were loafing so much. Anyway, I, it's good to be in the studio.
I I feel like now I've got to get all my ducks in a row for this, short week. I know. Memorial Day weekend. I know. Woo.
It's kickoff to summer. Right. And I feel like that's where I might get my recovery, Standing in water, fly rod in hand. That's what you're gonna be doing. That's where that's after this short week, Friday, I I mountains.
The countdown is on. Friday mountains. That's, that's my goal. If I can get to Friday mountains, life's good. You'll get to Friday Mountains.
Okay. It's in the it's in the calendar. We're gonna get there. We're gonna get there. Okay.
Well, hey. Good morning. It's Josh and Chantel. I'm Josh. I'm Chantel.
Chantel. And, and we're here in the studio. So hi. Good morning. Josh, when you call somebody and leave a voice mail, what do you what do you typically say?
Hey. What's up? This is Josh. I'm calling for this reason. Here's my phone number, and we'll talk to you soon.
Okay. Brief? Yeah. Sometimes I get a little wordy, and it wasn't ever, like, they gave me instructions. Anybody ever gave me instructions on how to leave Okay.
That's fair. So there was never any voice mail etiquette. What I learned, I learned from watching other people and listening to other people. Okay. And so I typically when I leave a message, especially if it's a work message Yeah.
I'll say, hey. It's, you know, Chantel. Here's the reason I'm calling. Give me a callback at this number. And then I'll say, again, before I hang up, I go, again, my name is this, and this is my number.
The message twice. Twice. Why? I don't know. Because people can replay it.
There's there's nothing know. More aggravating than somebody who goes, hey. This is so and so, and it gets all muffled in in their name. This is who I'm calling from, and then they'll say the name of the place or whatever. And then they'll go on and on and on, and then they'll go, alright.
Call me back. Phone number. Yeah. And you go like, what? What?
Yeah. Some people say their phone number too fast, and then it's like, I can't. But, also, you don't even really need to give your phone number because it's there. Well, unless you're calling, like, a landline or something. Like, if, like, my office phone, I if you don't leave your number, I don't know your number.
Oh, okay. Good to know. Yeah. What if I leave my number twice? Oh, it's too many times.
I need it once. I want you to have it. The hard part is, like, if I go, okay. I didn't catch your name, or I didn't catch the name of the company, or I missed an important piece of information. And it was, like, at the end of the message, and I have to listen to the whole thing again.
That's when I go, just give me name, phone number And the reason that you're calling. Freeze A freeze freeze it. Freeze for your call. I don't need all the details, because if I'm gonna call you back, I'll get them then. I don't I don't do all of the details.
I do a I do a brief, like, hey. I'd this is the thing I need to know. Give me a callback. But I do leave my number twice, which is so silly. I don't know why I interesting.
I don't know. I don't know where I learned that from. But I also if I get if I call somebody, and I know I'm calling their cell phone and I get a voice mail, I'll typically hang up and then or or I'll the one of two things. I'll go, hey. I'm just calling for this quick thing.
I'll shoot you a text. And then I do that. Okay. You know? Nice.
Like, that's that's probably, like, a a better way to handle it. If I call, it's usually because I need to have a conversation about something. If it's short, I'll shoot a text. If it's, hey. I finished that thing.
It's done. Or whatever, Small communication, text, conversation, I'm a call you. Yep. You're a caller. Yep.
I only call you if I have to. I know. I know. Don't make me call you. You never call me because you want to.
Not you. I call you all the time. Not all the time. No. But just because we talk a lot to each other.
Uh-uh. We see each other a lot. When? I never hear from you. Ever.
We spend a All day. We spend a lot of time together, you and me. This is true. We hang out a lot. You're working on your makeup right now?
Yeah. And you've got two lines above your eyebrows, so it looks like you have four eyebrows. Yeah. Well Just so you know. I haven't blended that in yet.
I see that. Because we had to do some talking. I it's I got a job to do. It's a little distracting in conversation. Not gonna lie.
Maybe I'll just leave it. No. You should get that wrapped up. If I if I raise my eyebrows like this, is it, like, raising No. Because the other two don't move.
Oh. What? Alright. Let's get you some good news to get you going this morning. K.
Patients at Memorial Hospital, it's in Gulf Port, Mississippi. They recently had their days brightened when window washers repelled down the building with their buckets and squeegees to do the, window washing. But as you do when you're working with, children, you do it with a little extra flare. Yeah. So they dressed as superheroes.
Of course they did. Right? The window washers, dressed as Superman, mister Incredible, and Batman. They spent a little extra time outside the Pediatric Floor where they posed and smiled and played tic tac toe through the windows with the kids, you know, as you do when you're doing stuff with kids. It's what you do, superheroes.
Jeff Wallace, who, was dressed as mister Incredible, he said, we love to give back to the community, and this is a special place for my wife and me because a long time ago, we spent a long time in intensive care here, and we made it. So we really have a great admiration for this place. And, little things like that, pay it back or pay it forward or however you wanna look at it. I think that's pretty special. So, you know, if you're gonna do stuff with kids, flare it up a little bit.
Well, flare it up with adults too. Well, yeah. Sure. If Batman showed up, I'd be like, what is happening right now? That'd be awesome.
It'd be a yeah. I would be a little surprised. I'd be taken aback. You're right. If all of a sudden Batman walked by the window and was like, let me just squeegee that real quick.
Yeah. Adults like superheroes too. That's right. And adults need some more whimsical in their life. Yeah.
It's true. Might make everybody lighten up a little bit. Yeah. Right? Yeah.
I'll look. Batman's washing the windows. Batman's washing the windows. How about that? Love it.
Yeah. Some good news to get you going. So I stumbled upon this cute little show on Netflix called The Quilters. Yes. And it's not what you would expect it to be.
So you you I What's what? I don't know. I'm trying to figure out did I walk back into the room when you were watching it or something? Yeah. And and I I see a prison show.
And I go, what are you watching? I like prison shows, actually. Because you're afraid of jail. I'm so afraid of jail. And so that's why you like to see what's inside to help yourself feel more at ease with your fear.
So, so I want that. Feel more at ease. And you got these, you know, these kind of gruff looking dudes, and they're they're talking. And I go, what are you watching? And you go, it's called Quilters.
And I I said, what? And then within a few minutes, I understood. Yeah. You got sucked in, didn't you? A little bit.
So it's I think it's in Missouri. K. The yeah. Missouri. That's where the prison is?
Yeah. And they're inmates at a maximum security prison Mhmm. At five. They're at the like, they're at the top level. K.
And you can only work in their quilting department. It's a restorative justice that they have. And you can only work in the quilting department if you haven't had any prior like, while you've been within jail, you haven't had any violations in jail. Got it. That's the only way you get to work there because there are sharps there.
Well, there's there's that, but it's also not necessarily, I I guess, quote, unquote punishment. There you go. Yeah. It's it's it is an activity that you get to take part in as a privilege Yes. For good behavior and and those types of things.
These quilts for foster children. Yeah. It's really special. It's so sweet. And these guys are taking, like, like, a very, very large amounts of time to make these things.
They have deadlines, so they're a little bit up against it. But they're making their own designs. Yeah. They're like, it's it's fascinating. Like, they got little notes, and they're They've drawn out quilt patterns Yeah.
And they've done the math for the cutting. Yeah. It's really impressive. All of their fabric, all of their supplies are all donated. Yeah.
So it's kind of like and they have them in piles, and they it's so it's just kind of adorable because they'll go in and they'll be like, alright. This is little girl that I'm making this quilt for. And the one guy, the one inmate was like, I really love butterflies because they remind me of my mom. So I try to put a butterfly in every quilt that I make. And these quilts are huge.
Huge, really nice, big, beautiful quilts. And they have quality standards. Like, one guy, was upset that as he was quilting, it got a little bit of a wrinkle in it, and he said, that's not gonna do. He goes, that won't pass my standards. And he took it out.
They unpicked it? Unpicked the quilting. Can you imagine? No way. And they fixed it, and he put it back, and it it all worked out.
But that's that's quality work they're doing. It's it's really, really cool thing. It is a really cool thing. And all of the dudes in there are just like I just like it because it gives me something to do, and I feel productive. And I feel like I'm doing something worthwhile, and I'm helping these kids.
And I it was just sweet. And it's not very long. I think it was only maybe half an hour long. Yeah. It was a great little show.
So Yeah. Just sweet. Quilters, it's called. Right? The Quilters.
The Quilters. You might not expect it to be one that pulls on your heartstrings, but there it is. But it does. It does indeed. And it's on Netflix, you said?
Yeah. Oh, there you go. Did better quilting than I did. I was like, hey. Well, they've been practicing.
And they I can't get my squares to line up like that. What are you doing? Taking time. Patience. Good job.
That's what it is. A lot of patience. I don't have that. I know. I've seen you quilt.
I was pretty excited because I found these little packets of smoothie mix. Okay. So they're individually eight ounce packets of frozen vegetables, and there's also some not frozen vegetables. Like berries and stuff? Frozen fruit.
And then there's also, like, some spinach and some stuff in there to make them more healthy. Vegetable. K. And then you just add your favorite juice Okay. Or water.
And you blend it up, and there's your breakfast smoothie. K. Right? Yeah. I was like, perfect.
Is that what I heard you saw an ad over here? Well, that's my problem, isn't it? Because I got one of those little, It's like a little bullet blender. Yeah. Yeah.
But I don't know what's going on. It's not blending. Did you get them to blend yet or no? Are you still fighting it? No.
I'm still fighting it. Is it on the Blender and locked on? Yes, Josh. Don't yes, Josh me. I'm trying to help.
Yes, Josh. I know how to use a Blender. Well, that's But you're having an issue, so I'm trying to help solve. You know? I I don't know why.
Gotta troubleshoot. I gotta ask real basics Yeah. Before I get more intense. It's pretty basic. Like, you put it on there, and it says lock or unlock.
K. It won't blend unless it's locked. Alright. I've had it on lock mode. Okay.
And it is not blending. So, all I hear is you keep stabbing it with, like, a spoon handle. A plastic spoon going. Is it blending at all? I mean, yeah.
A little bit. And maybe I just need maybe I just need a little more water and You know what you need to do? What do I need to do? Ask our daughter who has the same one at home I know. And she rocks that thing.
I know she does. She knows how to do it. I know. It will blend. I know.
Something's just not right. I know. Because it's not is the thing turning? I mean, it's I think so. I just here's the other part is that it's blended a little bit because the big chunks are mostly gone.
But it's still a little bit I mean, look. It's pretty thick. Yeah. No. You gotta blend more.
I know. Woah. Easy. You're mad at the blender, not me. I don't know.
No. I am mad at you too because why you being mad? Know why I'm getting, It's a user error. That's what your attitude is. There's a disconnect between the user and the device.
It's in between there somewhere. Somewhere between the user and the device is the solution. I just don't know where it is. K. Well, maybe you should give it a go.
Why isn't mine? I thought that this is no. You're good. Did you try turning it off and back on again? That's, that's usually how I troubleshoot things.
Oh, I know. My computer isn't working. Have you rebooted? Yeah. I've I've worked with enough IT people to know that that's that's the first thing I say when I make that support call.
Yes. I've already turned it off and back on again. Awesome. Are you sure that you've turned it off and back? Let's go ahead and power cycle that one more time because every single IT person knows if you power cycle, it's gonna fix 98% of your problems.
Yeah. That So if you'd go ahead and go just I know you probably already did, and that's fine. Let's go ahead and do it one more time. We're gonna do a full shutdown, though. We aren't gonna do a restart.
We're gonna do a full shutdown. We're gonna let it sit there for a few seconds, and then we're gonna do a power back on. It's a full power reboot. Have you done that, or did you hit the restart button? Because I bet you hit restart, didn't you?
So we're gonna do a full reboot. Josh has worked in IT before. So when I say, is it in lock mode Yeah. It's basic troubleshooting. Yeah.
I know. Start the basic I've basic troubleshooted. Good luck with your smoothie. Couple weeks ago, maybe even just last week, you were talking about how much you hate eating in the bed. Yeah.
You don't like when I have snacks in the bed? Well, lo and behold, guess who is caught eating snacks in the bed? Listen. What time of day was it? It was late.
I wasn't gonna sit at the table. It's late. It was it was pretty late. It was after prom. Yeah.
And you and I I was snacky. We were kinda rehashing the night, and and then, yeah, we both were laying there going, I'm kinda snacky. Yeah. Let's go get a snack. Right.
And so I wasn't gonna sit at the table. It's the middle of the night. You made the most college snack. I grabbed tortilla chips. I put grated cheese on it and some salsa and threw it in well, I grated cheese, threw it in the microwave, let it melt, and then put some salsa on it.
Nachos. Gross. Tada. You said, hey. You want some of this?
No. I really actually did not. No. I don't. It it was pretty college.
But I was real lazy, and it it didn't even hit the spot. Oh, no. It was okay. I've had better chips and cheese, but it's fine. Those chips were probably stale too.
The chips were fine. Oh, okay. No. The chips the chips weren't the issue. The whole thing was the issue.
It was not what I wanted. But I ate it, and that was fine. Good job. Not wasting the food. Well, I'm not gonna so.
Not gonna do that. Snacking in the bed. I well but I also had, like, a pretty good plate. I wasn't just snacking on, like, a granola bar that's gonna crumb all over. I had a plate under me.
I knew what I was doing. Okay. I know what I'm doing every time I eat a snack in bed too. Then where do the crumbs come from? I don't know.
No. I don't know. I don't know. There is no crumbs. That's weird, because I feel crumbs.
On your side of the bed? All over the whole bed. Your problem. What? It's not my crumbs on your side of the bed.
It might be because I don't eat in the bed other than this one time. This one time in how many years? That's the one time I've witnessed you. Yes. I just secretly, when you're not home, sit in the bed and eat.
Like, oh, she's not here. Pull back the covers. Yeah. I'm gonna eat right now. Crackers.
No plate underneath you. Yeah. That's something I do. I know. No.
Weirdo. No. Why would I ever do that? Why do you do that? I don't do that.
I wouldn't do that. I didn't want to hang out at the kitchen table in the dark. By yourself? And be like, I'm just gonna eat this whole plate, and then I'll go back to bed. Nah.
It's a sad little meal to eat in the dark at the kitchen table. Saying. Nobody wants to do that. That's a that's a snack on with your friend kinda situation. You know?
Like, hey, bud. Let's let's have let's continue this conversation. I made a quick meal. It's not a that's not a meal. A quick snack.
There you go. And now and now we can keep talking. You know? It was kinda like that. It was kinda like that.
But thanks for calling me out for it. Well, I had to. It was a it was a duty you had to? Yeah. Okay.
I said everyone needs to know about this. Okay. Well I just had snacks in the bed. Once in years. No.
That is not. Okay. In years. Yeah. It's been years.
Alright. I'll give you that. Okay. You're not a snacker in the bed? No.
I am. You can eat snacks anywhere. Correct. You wanna recap Saturday? Yeah.
I do. What do you wanna start with first? Let's start with, the fact that we had the twenty sixth annual class c ninety seven second chance prom. Let's say a big thank you again to Browning's Honey for helping us make it all happen. Yes.
And, for being there with us. That was awesome. Get to see them, and they got to give out some honey. Yeah. They did.
To hang out with people. It was very cool. Very good night. Very awesome. And, all in all, I would say pretty successful evening.
I think so. Yeah. I think that, everybody who came had a good time. I mean, I so. Yeah.
Didn't get a chance to talk to everyone, but I did talk to a few people, and they all said they had a great time. And if you looked out on the crowd, everyone looked like they were having a great time. Well, there you go. Good times. Great times.
Some of the people came dressed up in the theme, and that was awesome. Yeah. There were some some wonderful costumes. A streaking Fiona. Yep.
There were some fairies with little twinkly lights in their skirts. Yep. There were people that had, like, foresty leaves and things. Yeah. There were, some deer antlers at one point.
There was there was a lot going on. It was a very, very cool thing to see how people interpret the theme, as it usually is. I mean, it it they're easier themes. Like, if we did, you know, like, in 2021, it was a luau theme. Like, yeah.
Okay. That's pretty easy. You get you get yourself some beach clothes and a little, Hawaiian shirt, and you're good to go. Right? Then you got Under the Sea, which was interpreted in I think there was one Ursula type, outfit there, which was kinda fun.
And then Space had aliens and, people that dressed in the eighties, which was, cool. And then which has got, like, a like, a spacey kind of vibe. Right? Like, they they they embrace the space aesthetic in the eighties, and the twenties did their thing. That was Gatsby.
And then, this one, which was very much a an enchanted forest. Yeah. I don't think people realize this, and you yourself didn't you said, I don't think people realize. You prepped the playlist, had the playlist going. Yeah.
And your very last song, the very last song in the night True. Was a slow song Right. By Taylor Swift. Called Enchanted. Enchanted.
Yeah. And you were pretty excited about it. Look. I if there's any way to top off an Enchanted, forest theme prom, it's with Enchanted by Taylor Swift, which just, I think, worked out today. Good.
So, so the anyway, it was awesome. The three sixty photo booth was running all night. And if you did not get a chance to snag your three sixty photo booth, video, we've got those posted and shared on our Facebook page. They're on our website and in the app. So you can just go to the, second chance prom link in the app, and you can, download those, which is cool.
I will say my one complaint was that I didn't dance enough, and I think that's your fault. It's my fault that you didn't dance enough. Mhmm. Because I was running around doing other stuff. You're just not a big dancer.
And so I'd be like, let's go dance, and he'd be like, oh, no. Yeah. You're not a big dancer. I'm a big dancer, and I didn't wanna go dance by myself. Okay.
So I mean, I was I was running around doing things, talking to people and doing stuff. And then, yeah, we went out in the crowd and A couple of times. We danced and took some videos of ourselves dancing and and some, some silliness. It's kinda it's kinda silly when I when I look back at them. I don't know if you if you saw them.
At what? Our videos dancing in the crowd. No. I haven't. It's it's a lot of shaky camera and some and some spinning around.
You should. Yeah. Right? Yeah. Awkward.
It's pretty I mean, it's there. You should post those. That would be fun. Okay. Anyway, it's kinda fun.
Will say that you had, a Chaparone song in there, Hot to Go. Yes. Which you've been practicing the the hand motions. Yeah. I think I had it on lockdown.
I was excited when that song came on because I went, I've been practicing. The fast part of it, when it's h o t t o g, you're like, woah. Woah. Woah. Hold on.
And then h o t t. Yeah. That part I can do, but the fast one was like, oh, no. I can't do it. I don't know.
I don't know. Yeah. Pretty good, though. Thanks everybody for coming out and hanging with us. Twenty sixth annual Classy ninety seven Second Chance Prom is in the books.
Now we gotta look forward to twenty seventh. Isn't that crazy? Twenty seven years that thing's been going on. It's absolutely wild. And I've been involved now in the last four.
And you've been at the last three. Uh-huh. Well, you've been at all four, but you've been a part of the show and a part of what we're doing for the past three. Correct. Well, good.
It was fun. I had a great time. Yeah. Great job. I just wanted to recap the whole night, and you were like, I don't wanna talk about it anymore.
Yeah. Let's make nachos. I was a little bummed out yesterday, and we would just kinda loafed around and spent the day inside because it was it was awfully rainy. Yeah. At times, it was pretty severely rainy.
Yeah. It was. But, yeah, it was cold, and it wasn't like, it wasn't a great weather day yesterday. So we just kind of, moped around the house. We had some breakfast, hung out, did our thing.
Now what was supposed to be happening and got canceled because of the rain was the, oh, how many years? It's the 2025, obviously, because that's this year, distinguished gentleman's ride. And this is a motorcycle ride that happens all over the world, and it is, to raise awareness and some funds for men's mental health and, and some prostate cancer stuff. Like, there's a lot of stuff involved in, in the DGR, in the distinguished gentleman's ride. But the whole, premise is that, you get dressed up in, like, a dapper gentleman's type, wear Yep.
And then you go on a motorcycle ride. And and the type of motorcycle that I have lends itself to this type of event. I don't have a big Harley or a, you know, some you know, it's not a Sturgis type bike ride. It's Yeah. It's very much like croissants and, and Shoe shines.
Shoe shining and, yeah, that kind of thing. Lattes. Right. Yeah. Yeah.
Yeah. It's it's it is, completely different. And and, historically, the type of bike I have is a cafe racer. And, and the guys who would do this stuff in in England and, in other parts of the of the world, they would race from cafe to cafe, to have tea and whatever. So, it's it it was kind of a fun little heritage to have this bike ride, and to promote, you know, men's mental health and and prostate cancer awareness and all that stuff.
So, really important cause. And I've done this bike ride, a few times before. I was really excited to do it yesterday. The the weather was causing it to get postponed a week, and then ultimately, because May is basically over, they said we're just gonna go ahead and cancel it this year. And I was super bummed out, because I think that's a really fun event, and I was looking forward to it.
You had purchased some clothes because you are you are my, passenger. Pythian. Pythian, I think, is the right word. I can't ever remember what it's called. It's a fancy word.
And, and that's and that's fun. Like, I I ride the bike all dressed in, like, you know, suits. And everybody we've done this ride before. There's a there is, I mean, a dozen or so people that show up. And they're all of more 20 or so people.
Dudes are all dressed up nice, like gentlemen, and there are some women there too that ride their motorcycles or Vespas. We've seen Vespas Oh, yeah. For sure. It's fun. It is a lot of fun.
Dress up. I was excited about my outfit this year. You still haven't seen it? I haven't seen it. I and I just and and I had picked up, a new pair of pants and and some nice boots.
I've needed some motorcycle boots, and so I found some that I really like. And, and so I was really excited to to get to kinda dress up and do the whole dapper gentleman thing. I know. And, and and it got canceled because of the rain. So what's gonna have to happen now?
I'm a passenger. Billion passenger. There you go. And so, what's what's gonna have to happen now is we're just gonna have to get all dappered up and go out on our own and just have a date night Yep. On the bike.
K. So That works for me. Know. I know. Dang it.
Shoot. Oh. What a terrible idea. No. And, hopefully, you know, everything will work out, and we can do it again next year.
It always happens to be the Sunday right after prom. Yep. Just on the calendar. So Last year, you missed it because you were just too wiped out. Oh, I was probably I was just completely wiped out.
So, yeah, I didn't get to go last year. Wrong. I know. I'm super bummed because I was, like, two or three on, and then I've been off now for two, and I I really wanted to do it this year, but that's the way it goes. It's alright.
The rain the rain made it not not safe enough to do. So We're gonna get dressed up, and we're gonna go do our own thing. There you go. What a great little fun thing. It is a fun thing.
I did get my sticker, though. So at least I got my participation sticker there over here. That I did indeed intend to participate. So oh, well. There's that.
Maybe next year and a date night. So Alright. Kinda works out as a little bonus. I like date nights. Alright.
Good. You made some grilled cheeses yesterday? Yeah. I was pretty stoked about the grilled cheeses. You are a butter grilled cheese lady.
I like to use mayonnaise, or mayonnaise, if you're fancy, on the on the bread instead of butter, because I think it grills up a little bit nicer. I think it gives you a little bit more of a crisp. Really? Yeah. For just a split second, I thought maybe you had snuck mine Nope.
I did what you want. Mine with mayonnaise. And then I said mayonnaise. As I was eating it, I said, I wonder if he just made it with mayonnaise. Nope.
And then You did say it was one of the better grilled cheese you've had. I think you put too much cheese on it. Well, that's what Beck said. You put a lot of cheese on it. This is too much cheese, bro.
You had a monster cheese Yeah. That you had gotten. Yeah. Well and that's hard to slice thin. It's a it's a sticky cheese.
Is it? Yeah. Yeah. It is. It and and so, it's a it's a it was tough to make it thin sliced.
And I'm just using a knife to slice it, and it's a big block. And so I was like, man, I I need to find a way to make this not so difficult. When you cut, like, a block of cheddar, you can really get thin. It's a it's a harder cheese than than Muenster for sure. But the Muenster melted so well, and it was gooey, and it did a good cheese pull.
And it tasted delicious. It did. It did. It it did. Yeah.
It did. That was kind of my favorite part of the whole day yesterday. When I just pulled out the griddle and cooked up some grilled cheese. Some grilled cheese? I went, yes.
The only sad part was that I didn't have the ingredients to make a tomato soup to go with it. Which is also what Beck said because he he said he came out of his bedroom at this is 05:00 last night, and I'm like, let's let's do this. I got the griddle going. I got grilled cheese in process. And he's like, what are we doing?
I said, making grilled cheese. Do we have tomato soup to go with it? I said, nope. No. Uh-uh.
No. I was kinda sad about it too. It's alright. It does make it a meal if you've got a good tomato. I like a tomato basil.
Like, a a little bit thicker one. I'll still never forget the tomato soup I had in the hotel in Denver when I was at a convention. It was the best. Call them up. Ask them for the recipe.
Yeah. I bet, it was a bisque. Right? Is that is that the right word? Yeah.
Tomato bisque. So it was a little bit creamier. Yeah. And, and it was a little bit thicker than just your watery Campbell's tomato soup. Right?
Yeah. You know what I'm talking about. Right? Like, it wasn't a watery soup. It was a nice creamy thick one.
And man, was it good. And it had good basil in it. It was awesome. Is so good. I know.
I love basil. It was very, very yummy. Anyway Oh, wait. Let's talk about Enough about that. Good grilled cheeses, Josh.
Thanks. You did a good job. Yeah. If I woulda had fancy artisanal bread, I coulda made them even that much nicer. No.
The it was the bread was fine. Sometimes the artisanal bread makes it too fancy, and then you're like, it's only gonna taste like bread. Shit. You like that it was I like like a poor man's grilled cheese and fancy cheese? Yep.
Okay. I'm a I'm a poor man's lady. That is true. This is a very fun story. I just stumbled across this at eastidahonews.com.
We were talking about the Pine Ridge Mall, closing and, being torn down, and they're going to reimagine that space, and Target's coming in, all that stuff. Right. And there's been a lot of talk about, well, what's gonna happen with the businesses that were in the mall? And one of those businesses happens to be the JCPenney Salon. And sometimes you forget that, like, real people work here.
Yep. Real people have jobs here. This is their livelihood. Affects them. Yeah.
So there are, seven ladies who, had been working at the JCPenney salon, which closed on May 9. And JCPenney store's final day is May 25. Okay. And so there's only a few days left. Like, the end of this week, it's it's done.
Right? Crazy. I know. It is crazy. It's a big big change going on, but the seven stylists who work together at the JCPenney salon consider themselves family.
And the, the article here says, so when they learned in January that the store would be closing, obviously, the news hit hard. Not only were they losing their jobs, but they also had this dread of being separated from one another because if you're a stylist, you're gonna go find somewhere to work. And so you, you know, you're gonna plant somewhere else, and they thought, well, well, I'll just part ways. Been nice knowing you. Been great working with you.
See you later. Well, this is this is like the Phoenix from the ashes kinda story, which is kinda fun. Britney Purdum, said we were devastated. She is now a former JCPenney stylist and a businesswoman who had previously owned a salon. And she looked around, she said, hey, ladies, listen.
She she said, I asked the girls, if I open the salon, would you come with me? And the response was unanimous. We wanted to stay together and continue serving our clients. So all seven of them have, joined together in a brand new salon called Purdy in Pink. Oh.
And it is, at the former Great Great Clips location on Pocatello Creek Road by Ridley's grocery store. Combined, they have over a hundred years of experience, which is pretty impressive because there's seven of them. Yeah. And, and now they'll be able to continue to serve those, clientele and new clients, in this new location, which is pretty cool. So is pretty cool.
Yeah. I think that's awesome. She said ladies? Yeah. She said our goal is to give our clients a broad range of services in a flexible, happy, and healthy environment.
When one door closes, you get a window with a view. Aw. And I think that's very interesting because you didn't have windows in the salon before, and now you do. So, it's pretty cool. They're open seven days a week.
They do walk ins. They do all that stuff daily, noon to five, except for Sundays, and you can make appointments online. All the info is online at eastidahonews.com. But I like a a little bit of story of resilience. I think that's pretty cool.
Best of luck to you. Well done. You were working at the farmer's market on Saturday morning, which the weather was beautiful while you were there. And the second your shift ended It got wild. Perfect timing for you.
I guess it really got crazy around 02:00. That was really when the rain Yeah. Thunderstorm really kinda, happened. Was trying to clean up Yeah. And call it a day.
It became kind of a mad dash to get your tent out of the rain as quick as possible. Yeah. And I did see one of the artists because I follow her on Instagram. She was trying to get her stuff all put away, and some of her pieces got a little bit wet. So she had to later when the sun came out, she had to lay it all out and dry it out.
And That's gotta be tough. I know. When you're trying to sell art and it gets rained on Right. My favorite part of that day, though, was when it started to rain and there was a little bit of thunder, I said, I'm gonna I'm gonna make myself a cup of tea, and I'm gonna go take myself a little nap. And it was awesome.
So was I during that? You were also taking a nap downstairs, I think. Is that when I fell asleep accidentally? Yeah. Because I went to move laundry, and then I sat down on the couch, and then I woke up.
That was a frightening thing. I don't because I didn't really I didn't intend to lay down. Like, I I went downstairs. I just sat because I I there were, like, a few minutes on the laundry. I moved some stuff, and then I just sat down.
And then when you were when you're just, like, sitting there, and then the next thing you remember is your eyes opening, and you're like, what? I have I had every intention of going to take a nap. I even opened the window so that I could hear because that's the rain and stuff. Yep. Yeah.
Because that's you gotta have that sound. It's a good wipe. Down in my blanket. I was like, Tom for a nap. Yeah.
I didn't, I didn't have that experience. Mine wasn't, like, very much, like, I'm just gonna sit here and wait for this laundry for a few minutes, and then I don't know how long I was asleep. I don't think you were asleep for much longer than an hour. It's frightening. Because I only did just didn't know that I like, I didn't intend to fall asleep.
Like, that's it's dark, and I'm a basement guy. Like, I grew up in a basement. I sleep well in a basement. It's too cold in there. Love it.
And, apparently, I can fall asleep quick. You can fall asleep quick anywhere. That's true. I could fall asleep right now. I could lay down the floor here and be out.
You could. You absolutely could. It's a gift. Makes me angry. I had every intention of taking I was like, I'm gonna take about an hour.
Yeah. An hour is a good nap time. K. If I sleep too little Yeah. It's not enough.
If I sleep too long, it's too much. Like, there's, like, a perfect window. In Goldilocks sleep. I don't know what the window is entirely, but I was like, I've got an hour. Whatever your REM cycle is.
I don't even know if I was gonna hit REM cycle. I don't know. Well, because you're supposed to go through one full cycle. Okay. I did.
I think I saw nap so that you don't hit REM Yeah. And you do a short burst. The power naps are what they say you should do. Right. The short burst where you don't go through a full cycle.
That wasn't my intention, but that's what I ended up having. I think it was about twenty minutes, and then I woke up. I was like, hey. I feel pretty good. Let's get ready for prom.
There you go. It was a great a little twenty minute nap. I was like, this is fantastic. I could get used to that every day. Oh, absolutely.
The the fact that they take that away after, like, preschool I know. Put it back. Put it back. Give us a nap time. I could use an nap every day, But they're like, no.
No. We gotta prepare you for the labor force. No. Prepare me for having a nap every day. I'll be more productive if I have a nap.
I promise. Productive if I get a nap in the middle of the day. So much more done. Let me nap. I know.
I told Emery, I said, I'm gonna go take a nap. And she goes, it's 04:00. And I said, the perfect time for a nap. Afternoon nap. Heaven.
It was heaven. Well, I'm glad you enjoyed it. A while ago, we bought this thing called, the dating I don't the adventure channel? Dating, something yeah. Something like that.
And it's like a series of mini dates. Yeah. Because they do, like, like, a bigger date thing. It's like a whole, like, board Yeah. When you scratch off the dates, and then you're supposed to, like, add a picture of you doing the date thing.
And I saw that online, I don't know, two years ago. And we never picked that one up. But when we're out shopping, we found a little, like, in the board game section. We found, like, a little small one that was just these mini dates. Yeah.
This would be easy, something to have around. If we get bored, we can just pull a card, and it'll give us something to do. Right. And that's what we did last night. In our loafing around yesterday, you pulled it out.
I kinda forgot that we even had it. Well, you were like, what do you wanna do? What should we do? We're just sitting here. What should we do?
And I was like, I'm out of ideas because all we do is watch our shows or show each other videos on our phones. Like, it's a simple life. Yeah. Right? Yep.
So it was like, I we can continue to do what we always do, or we could try something new. And I it was it just popped in my head. We have that thing. Let's see what it's all about. We haven't even opened it.
Let's check it out. So the one we picked was dating through the decades. Right. And you were supposed to pick a time that I we couldn't decide if it was, like, pre, before we met each other or after we met each other. But we picked a time before we met each other, and you were supposed to ask each other these questions.
And answer them as if you were in that mindset of time. Is that we picked 2,000. So I was 19. I was 18. Oh, babies.
Yeah. Babies. Before we knew each other Right. One of the questions that we had to ask each other is if you had thirty minutes of free time, what were you doing? Yeah.
And that was weird because I was like, what was free time? Everything was free time, wasn't it? Like, I was working or I was school or I was you know, post high school, I was, you know, trying to figure out life in Arizona. Like, I don't know. I wasn't certainly not I didn't have, like, hobbies.
No. I know. That's what I was thinking too. I'm like, I didn't really have my hobbies were hanging out with my friends. Anytime there was free time, it was like, hey.
What's everybody doing? It was just a group of us, and we were down in the lobby of the dorm room playing foosball or watching Right. Dumb TV. It was you were never alone. Yeah.
Right? Like You just always had people around. What is downtime? The other one the other question we had was where do you see yourself in ten years? So that would have been Where do you see yourself in 02/2010?
Correct. I wasn't thinking about ten year plans. No. You mean At all. When you were 18, you weren't thinking about getting your plans?
Nope. You weren't thinking about getting married and having kids and all that? No. I was not. Yeah.
Me neither. 19 years old, I was like, no. Yeah. I was just I was just living my life. I was trying to figure out how to afford more ramen.
That's the other thing we discussed. It was like, I always had money, but where did the money come from? Not that I had a lot of money, but it was like, if we wanted to go to McDonald's and buy something from the value menu, it was like, oh, yeah. $5. Yeah.
I know. Where did that $5 come from? Parents. I don't know. Came from parents.
I know. It arrived via parental deposit. Yeah. You're right. Right.
That's true. Or money my mom always used to anytime she came up to visit, it was like, oh, I stashed $20 in your purse. Thank you. I needed that. Thanks, man.
Thanks, man. Thanks, man. Yeah. That's that's it. That's where it came from.
But I I spent a lot of time at the pool. I spent a lot of time, being annoying. I learned about LAN parties. I played a lot of, early computer stuff. Cool.
Yeah. So, I mean, I was in a technical college, so that would make sense. That would make sense. Nerds. And we were proudly, geeks or nerds or whatever.
It does. Just do you. Yeah. Just have fun with what you're doing. That's what I'm saying.
I was a nerd time. A foosball nerd. Okay. Everyone's a nerd in their own way. True story.
Everyone's got their own little nerd dom. That was fun. Not sponsored, but if you're looking for It was it was a cute little thing. Something to do and you have run out of date ideas because you've been together for a very long time. It's It's called the adventure challenge or something.
Or something or something like that. It's would you rather, Josh? Is it really? It is really really would you rather Really? Is it really would you rather this or that?
Alright. Would you rather this or that? Would you rather have a nasty splinter stuck in your thumb for a month Oh. Or the song, it's a small world stuck in your head for a month? Alright.
I I think I know what I'm picking. Okay. What are you picking? I'm gonna pick Splinter. You are.
I am. I'm surprised. Why? Well, tell me why you're picking that instead of it's a small world. Because I just think they're both gonna be obnoxious.
Let's be real. K. But I don't I don't want that song stuck in my head for a month. Have you ever had a splinter? Have you ever had a song stuck in your head for a long time?
Yep. Yeah. I've had splinters. I'd rather go with the splinter. You would.
I'd rather have the physical pain than the mental pain. I would rather have the mental pain than the physical pain. Interesting. Yeah. I don't want the the constant reminder that I can't get the splinter out of my thumb for a month.
Which month? June. June, a thirty day. Good. You picked a thirty day.
Could've picked February and saved us a couple extra, but at least you didn't pick July or August. Why because they're thirty one. Thirty one days. It's one day less. Maybe June was a big fishing month, which is why that was gonna be That's also rude.
It's a world of laughter, a world of fun. That's what you picked anyway. Yeah. You'll be out in the river seeing that. Fine In my head.
K. But I won't be in pain. That's true. It'll be internal anguish. I can't stand when I have songs stuck in my head, especially that one.
Now you've done it. Now you All day. Now you've really done it to everyone. Enjoy. Would you rather this or that?
Chantel is running down the hall and into the room, and in the room she is. Hi. And here she is to tell us a story. Hello? Do I have a story?
Yeah. Oh, I do have a story. Cool. Not really a story, but this is, would you want to sleep on a cliff bed? Is this like you're rappelling or climbing up a wall and you stop and you camp on the wall?
Or is this an actual, like, rent an Airbnb that's on a cliff? Yeah. Kinda that. It is a cliff bed in China. Okay.
And it is let's see. It's 330 feet off the ground. I'm looking at the China cliff bed. It costs $13.50, and you must wear a safety harness. Well, okay.
Good. What is I'm I'm not finding a picture of it. I've got a bunch of, is it it's not the transparent glass room? No. Have you seen that?
No. That's what I thought you were talking about. This is a sky lodge. This is a cliff bed. You can be as young as 14 years old to do this, but minors have to be accompanied by an adult.
I don't know if the bed oh, yeah. The bed is big enough for two people. You don't have to stay in the bed overnight. Alright. There's a mattress and a duvet, and you even get a cup of morning cliffside coffee.
Oh, great. But it's mostly just set up for a quick photo shoot. You can choose to stay in the overnight if you want. Really sleep 320 feet off of this cliff. It makes my stomach hurt it says three over three twenty.
But, anyway It makes your stomach hurt? I don't like looking at it. Really? I don't. I don't mind.
I don't, good for you. I don't know what's going on, like but the older I get, the less, cool I am with stuff like this. I I feel like the bed is large enough that I don't think I'm gonna, like, roll off of it. I feel like it's pretty securely attached. I was looking at the safety features on it.
It looks like it's pretty firmly attached to the cliff, and you wear a safety harness all night. See how you get to the bed? No. How do you get to the bed? That was gonna be my next question.
I think that's gonna be my only hang up is figuring out That's your hang up? Yeah. The climbing up there or getting up there? Yes. It's like a a ladder made of rebar.
It's bent rebar sticking in the side of the cliff that you have to use as a ladder to get up to the bed. No. Thank you. No. Thank you.
No. Thank you. Mm-mm. But it's only $13.50. Neat.
And it's in China. Yeah. And, when you wake up to go to the restroom in the middle of the night, what happens? Oh, I didn't think about that. That poses a quandary.
Yeah. It does. I'll just be on the ground. You can go up there. I actually think it would be cool.
I I don't wanna climb up there to get there, but I absolutely if I was there, I think I'd be okay. If someone plunked me down there, I'd be like, cool. This is legit. Here's where I'm staying. Yeah.
Because zit. I climbed I had to climb a huge tower once. Yeah. 30 feet, not 320 feet. But I couldn't even make it to the top.
I could not make it to the top because like, the giant ladder thing? Yeah. Because of upper body strength or what? No. I made it to the my fingers were shaking so bad.
Because of the stress of weight or because of the internal nerves? Probably a little bit of both. Okay. You got to repel once you got to the top, but I never got to repel because I couldn't How did you get down? Listen to me.
Let me tell the story. Quit interrupting for a minute. I got to the very, very top bar, and they go, great. You're there. Like, reach up.
You're gonna be on top of the thing. And I go, I can't. And they said, yes. You can. Just reach up.
You're there. And I go, no. Really? My hands and legs are shaking so bad Mhmm. That I'm frozen here.
I cannot do any more than this. And he was like, really though? If you take one more step, you're on top. And I go, I can't. Mhmm.
So I So how'd you get down? My way down. Hoisted. What does that mean? How did I get down?
That's my question I asked, and you said I was in a No. No. No. No. I think what I did was you just repel I think I just rappelled down.
Like somebody who had you on a belay a belay. And they let you down. Yes. I see. Yep.
Got it. That was pretty disappointing. Well, you gotta try again, I guess. You know? It was scary.
Challenging outdoor personal experience and all that. Chantel danger. Oh, that's the most danger I've seen from you. I will say it. That right there and the meat grinder thing that you had to do, those two things are the most danger yeah.
The big wheel on the on the ground course. Those are the most dangerous things I've seen you do. And a rope swing, That was dangerous. Yeah. That was part of the ground part.
Anyway, I'll give you credit for that. Thank you. That was that was a job well done. Thank you. Yeah.
