CES was in Vegas. We talked a little bit about it last week. Yes. The Consumer Electronics Show. It is a giant tech showcase. One gadget you didn't list was a smart toilet. What is that too? It's the Vivu Smart Toilet Sensor. It's a real life affordable wellness accessory that tests your hydration in real time and tells you if you are dehydrated. I think you can tell already without somebody telling you.
Sure. If you look and you see it's dark, you're dehydrated. That's right. This though will measure specific gravity and then send the data to your phone, letting you know if you need to be drinking more water. I don't think it's necessary. No? I don't think we need that.
I think you can tell by looking and I think, hey, just as most people need to be drinking more water. Okay. So just go with that. I'll tell you, the thing is kind of ugly. The toilet? Well, it's a clip on thing that hangs over the edge of the toilet into the water. Okay, gross.
Okay. It costs $99 and then you have to pay $3 per month after your first three months to continue to subscribe to the monitoring service that's going to tell you about your dehydration. And guess what? You're going to have to clean it and gross. Yeah. Also, I'm not going to subscribe to my toilet. Nope. I'm so tired of subscription model. Stop it.
Stop it. Let me buy a software. Let me buy a peripheral one time. I don't like subscription model. I don't like that I have to continue to pay for something. But that's how they make money.
I understand. It's awful. It as far as like consumerism is concerned, it's terrible. I understand subscribing to a streaming service and that feels acceptable because I can I have like on demand anytime whatever.
Okay, but you're going to make me subscribe to my toilet. No, forget about it. You it's totally optional. I understand. But if you want this cool gadget, it's not cool. It's not that cool.
Hey, hey, easy. I'm not I'm just saying it's not there are much cooler things that you can spend your money on. You don't need something to tell you if you're dehydrated.
You can know based on the color. We've been doing this game for years. Right. But this thing will do it for you. You don't even have to look.
You just get like a notification on your phone. Drink more water. I just drink more water.
Just do it. Make sure you get some electrolytes in there too. Because if you drink too much water and you don't have enough salt, that's damaging to and it might tell you that it might tell you like, Hey, not enough electrolytes in here.
Stop it. But this is like the beginning dehydration and then pretty soon they're gonna be like your kidneys are weird. Your kidneys are weird.
I didn't say you I'm saying the device will be like a you might want to have a doctor look at your kidneys. They're weird. Like I'm telling you stuff's a little bit strange down here.
I don't like it. Don't say my kidneys are weird. You're fine. I didn't say your kidneys are weird. The device is going to let you know if they are not weird.
I wasn't trying to offend your kidneys personally. Alright, should we start the show? I suppose. Okay, I've got a lot to figure out over here because I need to make sure that everything that we have is actually like functioning and working. And so that's an interesting thing. We've got a brand new control board in the studio. So I've got a lot of learning to do when it comes to all the new buttons and things. And I got to make sure that we're actually like on the radio and stuff. I think we are I think things are going as expected so far. Great.
Yeah. I have no idea what any of that does. Okay, I don't care to learn. I trust that you know what you're doing. Yeah.
And good job. I hope I know what I'm doing. As you look around at it, what questions do you think you might have?
None. I know you don't want to know how it works, but you've got to have questions. Look, it says your name on it. Yeah. Like I can I can program so many new things in here.
What do you mean? Like, like I can make I can make anything anything. I can I can move stuff around. I can change colors. I can do all kinds of stuff.
It's got a million new buttons. I'm happy for you. Are you?
Yep. I'm only I've only been working on it pretty nonstop for about a week or so. And I had to build this cute little box over here. It's it could be a little bit smaller, but it's not bad. What do you think about that? I don't know what that's for. Mm hmm.
What do you think it does? I don't know. I told you, I don't care. You're just here to talk. Yeah.
Yeah. I'll just sit over here and do talking. I don't mean to be a grouch about it.
I just I'm happy for you because I know that you're excited about it. Yeah. Well, it's definitely something. I'll tell you that it is. It's interesting. We'll see how it goes. Hopefully everything works this morning and we'll be all good. That's what I'm hoping for.
It's a simple little hope. How can you tell if it's not working? Well, it is because if I push that button, I can tell everything's okay, okay, okay. So well, I think we're okay.
We're doing great so far. And those buttons, the box that you made with those buttons is a stop, go. That's right. And what does the light up one do? That's the dump button, they call it. So that if I push that button, it erases 10 seconds of time as if it never happened. That's for emergencies when one of us says something that I supposed to.
Yeah. I mean, it's highly unlikely that you or I would do that. But if there was someone on the phone who maybe accidentally said something they weren't supposed to say.
Said a naughty word. Yeah, I can push that button and he raced time. So I never have had to push that button and I'd like to keep it that way. Okay. So let's not make me have to push that button. I don't have any plans.
Me neither. So anyway, let's make sure this button works. Hey, look, it's still working. Go ahead. Hi.
You've heard of the word doppelganger. Oh, are you going to talk about this new one? Yeah, this thing's been around for like days. Yeah. Oh, for days.
Yeah, yeah, yeah. No, I heard about it. It is old news. I heard about it. I don't know, early last week.
I just heard about it today. I know the chopper ganger. The chopper ganger. Yeah. And here's the thing.
I think this only works one way. And if you don't know what the chopper ganger is, and I'm being poo-poo-y about it, it's because every single radio station and news TV thing, and it's been everywhere. So it's old hat. I haven't even heard about it. Okay. Not even once. Well, here's my hot take.
Okay, say. Celebrities created this because they think that people that sort of look like them out in the general public look chopped. And chopped is a slang word for like trash. Like a low budget version. Like ugly. Like a Diet Coke version of you. So like a doppelganger is when you have like an unknown twin that lives somewhere in the world. Right.
And you go, holy cow, we look really similar. Yeah. Right. So like David Cross and I, if I have my hair done just right. Like there's some similarities.
I would be his chopper ganger. No, wrong. That's what I'm saying.
I feel like this was invented by people who have a little bit of vanity. And I'm not saying David Cross does. I'm just saying that there are people in the world who like look down on people and go, yeah, you kind of look like me, but gross. Okay.
And I feel like that's why I don't like it. Okay. That's what it is. Yeah. Yeah. An uglier version of someone. Right.
Chopple Ganger. I don't like it. And right. And people are like, Hey, let's not. Like it's kind of rude. Like let's not do this. Yeah. If you think someone has a chopper ganger, keep it to yourself. Yeah. What's that old Bambi line?
If you don't have anything nice to say, don't say anything at all. I don't think it originated in Bambi, but it certainly was in Bambi. It's from Bambi. I don't think Bambi is the first one that ever said that. Yeah, it is. I think it's a great message that got put into Bambi.
I don't think Bambi was like, I got a brilliant idea. Hey. Okay. Well, I didn't know you were so hot about it.
Yeah. Well, honestly, it's only because everybody and their brother has already talked about it. So I feel like it's...
I have not even heard about it. Yeah. I just feel like it's played out.
That's all. I would not like to see this word show up in the dictionary. When we get to the end of this year, I don't think I want them to be like the new word of the year, chopple ganger.
I hate that. I don't think there's going to be a bunch of people running around saying chopple ganger. So far there have been. From old people. No, I'm just saying like a whole bunch of people have talked about this thing. Our age people though. And that's all over the place.
As I said, like TV news, every radio station. Okay. But what I'm saying is we all know that it's the young people that set the trends. I see. I don't think the young people are running around saying it.
I see. I think the people talking about it are our age or older. Well, as we learned yesterday, the young people are just out there trying to kill skinny jeans and leggings. I talked to Emery about this yesterday and she said she'll never get rid of her leggings. Well, she's a boomer. No, she said skinny jeans are out way out until they aren't. She's not trying to get in on the low rise thing, right?
No, I really hope not. I would rather you stay in the barrel pant thing than do the low rise. I'm saying to her, I'm not saying to you. No, I know, but I'm just saying I would rather see low rise than barrel. Have you seen the barrel pants? They look so silly.
Yeah, I know. On 40 and 50 year old women, they look silly. They look silly on anyone. It looks like a barrel.
That's why it's called a barrel. Have you seen the starch pants trend? No.
Oh, you got to look that up. These guys are, they're starch in their pants. So they practically stand on their own. They look like cartoon pants. I have seen something similar. Yeah. And then they get in them and try and keep them all crisp. It's ridiculous. I don't, I don't understand. But you're right.
Young people are doing this. So this one feels emotionally charged. Like you want to make yourself feel better.
So you're like, that person doesn't look like me. They're a chopped. Sorry. I did not know this was going to be such a hot topic for you.
Well, now you do. I am very apologetic. Why?
Because you got, you're so sorry. No, you got hot and bothered by it. Yeah.
Sheesh. It's fine. It's too early for this kind of emotion. I'm not emotional at all.
Anyway, I just don't, I just don't care for it. That's all. It's fine.
Understood. Did you find the starch pants? Yeah. You going to get some? No.
Okay. Let's get some good news this morning. There is a guy named Moe. His name is Marcellus Riles, but he goes by Moe. And he lives in South Bend, Indiana.
And he drives a Chevy Silverado that is pretty beat up. I saw this yesterday. Did you? I did. Did you see the truck? Yes. It looks like it's bent in half. It is crazy. The bed's fallen off.
The thing is just not in good shape. But did you see the whole story about how the community came together and they raised a bunch of money? I sure did. 300 strangers, excuse me, 500 strangers pitched in $22,000 to buy Moe a brand new, well, it's a 2019, much more brand new truck with all the parts attached and not all mangled and twisted, which is cool. And then did you see that there are like different shops that stepped up to make sure that he gets his maintenance taken care of for a little while?
No, I did not. So he's getting oil changes. He's got, yeah, I mean, a few less things to worry about, for sure, as he enjoys his new vehicle, which is a big deal. He said, he goes, that's the part that knocked me over. Here's a human being seeing another human being struggle. And I'm like, what did I do to deserve this? Which is pretty cool that the community just saw that this guy was driving to and from work and appointments in a twisted old truck and went, we got to do something for that guy. And no, it's nice.
Yeah, it's very, very nice. They asked him what had happened to his truck and he said, what hasn't happened? Yeah, I did not see that. That's great. What hasn't happened? Yeah, so I suppose the old one, is he going to keep that or is he going to take it to the junkyard?
I have no idea. I was amazed it was still even operating. I know.
Old twisted up green truck. Anyway, some good news. Mo's got a new truck.
It's exciting. Okay, I was having a conversation with Maddie, who is a lovely person. She is the person who helped us build our Christmas cards. This year, what did you call it?
A sweatshop? She was running. Anyway, she's great. I was talking to her the other day, she got a haircut a little while ago and her hair is growing back. I said, man, your hair is growing back, like really thick and quick. Like it's, you got almost your hair back.
And she said, yeah, I'm taking prenatal vitamins and I went, what? Does that make sense? It doesn't, actually. I did some research.
I need to get her to understand that there is a bit of risk involved in taking prenatals when you're not in need of prenatal vitamins. I did not know any of this information. Go ahead. Well, I did the research today because I've been meaning to talk about this because I thought the same thing. I went, huh, maybe I should start taking some prenatal vitamins and it would help me regrow my hair.
Here's the deal. It says, while prenatal vitamins contain nutrients like biotin iron and folic acid that support healthy hair, the thick, fast growing hair experienced during pregnancy is mainly due to hormonal changes, not due to vitamins. And so if you are taking prenatals for hair growth, when you're not pregnant, it is proven to work.
It isn't proven to work and carries the risk of overloading your iron. Interesting. Right.
Okay. So maybe don't. I should let her know.
Hey, maybe don't. I was going to say she could just take biotin and B6 because that supports healthy hair. B7 is biotin, which they sell by itself, but it is that. Iron, which prevents hair loss, linked to fatigue. I didn't know that was a thing. That was probably why I'm bald. Tired.
Folic acid helps in cell production and vitamin D promotes new hair cell growth. Those are the big ones. Okay. Interesting. Anyway, that's all I know. I did not know that. I thought the same thing.
I was like, oh. Have you ever heard of people taking prenatals for hair growth? I have not.
To try and get their hair to grow faster and thicker? You said that. I went, well, that's probably a smart idea because it's loaded with all kinds of stuff in there. Yeah. Okay. That's what I learned.
Good to know. Is that maybe it isn't the best idea because it can overload your iron. Sometimes you can take too much of something.
Yeah. I was taking, I think I was taking B6 vitamins and I was overdoing it on the B6. Like you're not supposed to take it. I might be wrong about which vitamin it was, but you're not supposed to take it every day. I see. And so I read something that said, you can do a lot of damage if you overload on this vitamin.
And I was like, okay, we'll do this. Is that the same for something like a vitamin C? Like, can you overdo it on vitamin C? I know that a coworker of mine was worried about getting sick and so she was taking a lot of zinc.
Yeah. And then she got very nauseous. And she was like, I think I overdid it on the zinc because I feel really, really sick. Yeah.
Not from being sick, but from taking too much zinc. Interesting. I know, right? Yeah. Why does zinc have to be in a lozenge? I don't know. It's gross. I'm not into the zinc lozenge.
There's got to be, they've got to have like a zinc pill by now, but the most effective way is you take your vitamin C and then you let that thing sit on your tongue. Yeah, I know. And it's gross. And then, okay, here's the other thing.
I had to look it up. I was also taking B12 every day. And I said, you shouldn't take this.
I mean, you can take it every day, but you shouldn't go over this. Whatever the number is. Yeah. Because it can cause absorption issues. Oh, so like eventually, it's sort of a, what's the word? When you build up a tolerance, like you won't, your body will quit absorbing it.
And then it can also cause, if you take it too much B12, it can cause GI upset. Oh, no. Nobody well, are you going to share that information with her? I will.
I'll let her know what I found out. Okay. Yeah.
But anyway, if you were doing that as a thing, be careful. That's all. To your research. That's right. Yeah.
Maybe talk to somebody about it. Somebody who's smarter. Yeah. I mean, I just, I'm on the radio reading Google research. You know what I mean? I'm not a doctor. No.
Talk to somebody who knows. Like, Hey, I've been doing this. Is that okay? And then they're going to go, well, actually, you could overload your iron. And then you go, Oh yeah, that's what Josh said. Huh. He read the internet. Smarty pants.
I was thinking about last year I took a sign language class. That's right. And I have completely forgotten everything I've learned. You have entirely?
Not entirely. Okay. I know I still could probably remember some of the stuff, but it would take a minute for it to kind of refresh. Right. But then I was like, obviously, that is a use it or lose it skill.
Okay. You've got to practice or you're going to forget it. It's like any kind of foreign language really.
Sure. You've got to use it or you're going to forget about it. Can you think of anything that's a use it or lose it skill? I'm trying to think. I'm trying to think of like things that I've been trying to work on. And I think there's it's all practice. Like I need to spend more time, like in my watercolor stuff, I need to spend more time with a brush in my hand to really get comfortable and to play with the medium, you know what I mean?
I can wear a Sam. So I don't know that it's necessarily a use it or lose it. I think it's a use it and improve it. Oh, yeah. Look at you. Yeah.
Use it, maybe not and use it to improve it. Oh, yeah. Yeah. If you want to, you know, be a better bike rider, you got to ride your bike more, you know, not that you're going to forget what it feels like to ride a bike because that's the thing about that, the say about bikes, right? It's like riding a bike. You'll remember real quick. I think the same could be true for your ASL.
I think if you started getting into more conversations, you'd be like, Oh, yeah, I remember things and you would start to things would click. Okay. So it's a use it to improve it. I get what you're saying. Yeah. Somebody said that a use it or lose it skill was flexibility.
And that is very true. I need to stretch. Yeah, because I was very sore from bending down painting back told me he laughed at me yesterday because I said, I'm going to go take a bath and soak in some epsom salts. And he goes, why? And he said, because my legs are very sore from bending down painting all day yesterday. I'm still recovering a little bit myself.
Are you a little bit? Yeah, take a bath and some epsom salts. I would take a hot tub. We've had this conversation 100 times if we've had it once. So let's get down and do some flexibility so that we can. Well, you want to stretch?
Yeah. Stretching feels so good, doesn't it? Yeah, I mean, yeah, but also it hurts. It's supposed to.
Because I is it? No pain, no gain. Oh, pain is weakness, leaving your body.
That's another thing people say. No pain, no gain and pain is weakness, leaving your body. It's a mindset. People like to say that. I've never heard anybody say that. You haven't ever? You've never heard pain is weakness, leaving your body? I have heard that, but I mostly hear that from you.
From me? I don't say that. You say it all the time. You don't say it. But you say it ironically.
Right. I never, I never say it for real. Like, oh, you, you're feeling hurt yourself. That's weakness, leaving your body.
No, I've never. But let's get, you got your yoga mat over there. I got my yoga mat over there. Let's do some stretching. Okay, we got to use our flexibility or lose it, Josh. I know we need, you need to work on mobility. You need to work on flexibility. Stretching and, and making sure you have the ability to like stand up from the floor. These are really important skills. They are important skills.
I was pretty impressed when I was down on the floor painting and I needed to stand up and I went, I'm not going to use the wall. Just watch. Oh, and I did. Wow. You are so cool. Good job.
Thank you. I did take Emory to the dentist yesterday and as I'm dropping her back off at home, I said, I don't want to go back to work. And she said, let's think about all of the good things going on back at work. And I said, like, what?
This is nice. And she goes, I don't know, like think of something positive going back to work. And so I said, okay.
And I gave her, like I rattled off three like positive things about going back to work. And then I go, no, that's not that great. I just don't want to go back to work. And I go, why can't I complain? And she goes, you never let me complain when I have to go to school.
So if you can't complain, or if I can't complain, you can't complain. Yeah, they call that a taste of your own medicine. Oh, is that what they call it?
I think so. I thought it was just a polyana glad game. I don't know that reference. Every time I bring up polyana and you say you don't know about polyana, the hit Disney movie, polyana.
Okay. It always makes me shocked. And then I have to remind myself that you have you really never seen polyana? No, I have not. Oh, why would I make that up? You think I'm like, no, I just don't want you to know that I have.
I don't know anything about it. Hailey Mills. Yeah, okay. Crazy, cranky aunt. The glad game. I know nothing about it.
A doll, a tree. I know nothing about it. Come out and play polyana.
No, I know nothing about it. Oh, man, oh, man, oh, man. Come out and play polyana sounds like a creepy, scary movie line. Come out and play polyana like that. And you'd be like, scary. Come out and play, Chantel.
I loved that movie as a kid. You did? Yeah.
Oh, yeah. We were talking about movies that made you cringe the other day. That one does not make me cringe. Okay.
All right. What's the opposite of cringe? I don't know. Happiness. Okay.
That's not bad. The opposite of cringe would be okay. No, these aren't the right words.
No, it doesn't matter. Because guess what? I'm putting on our calendar.
Josh needs to watch polyana. All right. That means it will go into the calendar. Where? Sometimes this weekend. All right. Okay. You'll like it. Okay. It's fine. I like Haley Mills.
She was in the original Parent Trap, which I have seen. Good. Let's get together and all that. Yeah. Yeah.
Yeah. What else has she been in? We should look at her things. She was in Parent Trap and Parent Trap 2. I never saw the Parent Trap 2. And that's fine because... Well, it came out a lot of years later when she was apparently the parent because the Parent Trap came out in 61 and the Parent Trap 2 came out in 86.
Polyana came out before the Parent Trap. That's correct. That's right. Also, I know that she was in Saved by the Bell, the original. Yes.
She was the teacher in Saved by the Bell. I know that. What else? That darn cat? Nope.
The original? Okay. Nope.
The remake of that darn cat had Christina Ricci in it. No. We know. We all know, Josh. Actually, no one knows that but you. Okay.
I only know that because of you. All right. Is there a movie if I make you watch Polyana? Uh-huh. Is there a movie?
Mac and me. No. You got to watch it. No. Put it on the calendar.
It has to be something. I watched it as a kid. No. You're a liar. I am not lying.
That is for real. You have to watch Mac and me. Okay.
Is there a different movie that's not Mac and me? I'll put it down. Okay. I'll watch it.
But is there a different one that you used to watch as a kid? I feel like here's the thing about Polyana now. I feel like there's a lot of dialogue in it. Oh, it's not going to be good.
It's going to be a 1960s Disney style film. Did you ever watch the movie Gus? Yes. About the football kicking donkey? Yes.
Uh-huh. That one was good. There was one about a dog. It was like a great dane that thought he was a doxin.
That was another good Disney one. What brought us up about Polyana? What were we talking about? Oh, the glad game.
Right. Polyana was an orphan and she had to go live with her cranky. Well, no spoilers here if I'm going to have to watch it. But she didn't let anything get her down. She was just always happy about everything. Okay.
And she invented the glad game. Okay. That was like, let's talk about things that make us happy. Okay. And then I won't tell you what happens, but there's big twists in the middle. Oh.
All right. Can't wait. It's going to be good.
You're going to like it. All right. Are you sure? There's going to be some boring parts. I think you're really going to like Mac and me. Okay. I especially their weird little bodies.
I know. I've seen enough of that movie to know that I'm actually not going to like it, but I'll watch it. You're going to like it.
I'm not, but it's okay. You're not going to like Polyana, but I will. And I will like Mac. This is a good trade-off. This is a good trade-off.
We could watch the original Ninja Turtles movie. Okay. Very good too. It's not very good, but it's decent. Very good. It's super good. Decent, I would say.
All right. What year did that first one come out? That first Ninja Turtle movie? Something, 91, 92. Would you say that was your favorite movie that you watched as a kid? No. Mac and me was my favorite movie.
Get out of here. It was not. It was not. You're such a liar. Why? It was not your favorite movie. Look, when we would go to the rental place, I would rent video games, not movies, but when I rented movies, it was Mac and me. I don't believe you.
And I would make pinwheels out of straws, and you're going to be amazed at what you can do with a straw. Why? Oh, when you see the movie, it'll all make sense.
There's a twist in the middle. I am not okay with this restaurant that our daughter informed me exists. She showed me a video of a lady who was sitting at a table in a restaurant eating some food and up pops a raccoon and it steals food off of her plate. A real raccoon? And I said, that's gotta be AI. There's no way there's a restaurant that can have raccoons running around while people are eating.
That would be a giant health violation. It's real. Where is it? It's the Alpine Inn in Omaha, Nebraska.
Okay. And they have raccoons. How many raccoons do they have? I don't know.
And what's the purpose? And then there's, there are these, these other animal cafes that exist within South Korea, where they allow people to eat and drink in the presence of animals, with some having separate areas for playing with raccoons versus just dining. But yeah, you can, you can like have dinner with wild animals.
Okay. What, it's not just raccoons, it's other wild animals? Well, I imagine it's probably like, you remember, what was that rainforest cafe where they had like parrots and stuff, and they had the cliff divers and all those things? I don't think they had real parrots though. I think they had the sound of parents parrots.
Yeah, I don't know. And they had real cliff divers for sure. But I don't think they had animals in the restaurant.
Yeah. So there's, there's a place called the raccoons in Porta, Porta Vallarta, Mexico, where diners interact with tame raccoons. I look, the main point is, I don't want to have dinner with, with animals.
I just looked up this alpine in home of the wildlife. It says, you come for the raccoons, you stay for the chicken. That's right. And I'm watching a video of them cooking food, and it honestly doesn't look that good. Yeah, well, their whole thing is like, potato salad, macaroni salad in little cups and fried chicken, and then you leave your chicken scraps outside the window, and you can sit and watch the raccoons eat outside. And I also can't be sure that's actually chicken and not raccoon.
All right, fair. It could be little raccoon legs. I mean, that's super weird. How would you know? You're right. How would you know? I'm not trying to bash this place either, but it doesn't look like the cleanest of spots. Okay.
Sounds good. I know. Somebody's going to come at me from Omaha, Nebraska.
That's right. Well, look, they're still not in the dining room with you, not like these ones in Korea and this one in Mexico, where they're like right there where you're eating. A lot of people, it's got great reviews. Yeah, a lot of people like fried chicken. I'm not on that list.
But Josh, it says the best chicken hands down. Said the raccoon. Probably.
Yeah. The raccoons wrote the reviews. Yeah, I don't necessarily want to share my dinner with the raccoons.
So I'm probably going to pass on this restaurant. Yeah. What do you think? Yeah, no. I'm not going to. You're not in for it? I'm not into it. I'm not into it.
I don't like fried chicken that much, but also I don't want to eat with critters running around. Yeah. You know, hard pass for me.
Like running up and stealing your food. I don't need that. No, I don't need that either. I paid for this food. This is my food.
That's right. Go get a job, raccoon. Go dig in the garbage out there. That's what you good for.
That's what you good for. Trash pandas, they call them. That is what they call them.
Yeah. I don't need to eat with the trash pandas. I've been called a raccoon a time or two. Yeah, because of the way you throw trash about.
I haven't thrown trash about that much lately. No, I know. That's why I haven't been called a raccoon lately. So you need to chill out. I'm chilled. We even played some games, some board games over the weekend, and I was cool, calm and collected.
That's right. I didn't get angry because you're trying to impress people. Like, look how cool I am. I'm so calm.
I was trying to impress anybody. I'm so relaxed. Easy going.
Easy breezy. Check me out. Okay. All right.
Well, anyway, there you go. We're going to get a little bit nostalgic here. Nostalgic? Yeah.
Okay. What smell reminds you of being a kid? I mean, it's easy for me to like go to school supplies. Like always loved back to school, loading up my new backpack with school supplies. That's awesome.
So that immediately would take me to that place. I think I spent a lot of time outside. So a lot of that outside air stuff, spring and summer outside in the yard.
There's quite a few things that I go like, yes, this is nice. I, whenever I hear a plane overhead, it makes me feel like I'm outside in the spring because it would always happen at, you know, I mean, it always happens. There's always planes, but the smell of grass. Well, and I think the amount of flights was fewer when we were young.
Like we were kids. I don't think there were as many flights going overhead as there are now. Like even in a smaller urban area, like we still have flights coming in and out every day, but we don't have like if you're, when we were in San Diego, for example, like there were flights every five minutes.
Like there was another plane and another plane and another plane. You know, like Holy cow. Holy cow. Yeah.
So it would be different, I think, because it was a rarity thing. So you hear it and you go, oh yeah, airplanes exist. That's not necessarily a smell.
No, I just, at all. You can't smell the airplane unless you are like some kind of bloodhound doggy. But it's the smell of grass and the sound of a plane that takes me back to being a kid. Um, because that means outside. Right. Right in my bike.
Right. Playing in the dirt. Fruit punch, I think is a kid's smell. Fruit punch is a kid's smell. That's a good one, Josh.
You don't, you don't see a lot of adults running around with Hawaiian punch. Cool. And why not? Why not?
Yeah. Why don't more adults have a cool, you know, I've got this, this cup over here that I fill up with water every day that I drink from. Why isn't it Kool-Aid and why isn't it permanently stained? Why isn't it Hawaiian punch?
I haven't seen a Hawaiian punch in a long time. Oh yeah. It's still there.
It's still out there. Oh yeah. Yeah. You bet. How about a nice Hawaiian punch?
That guy, he was crazy. So is it Kool-Aid or Hawaiian punch that reminds you of being a kid? And squeeze it.
Squeeze it. It's we're awesome. I'm just saying like all of those fruity flavors, but like fruit punch, like now it's blue raspberry. Everything. Everything is blue raspberry.
Right. But, but we grew up in fruit punch. Everything was red fruit punch.
Red everything. I'm, I was more of a Kool-Aid kid. And we had Kool-Aid and a lot of squeeze it and then, and then squeeze it went away. No, I wasn't. Yeah, you were.
We never had Kool-Aid. Squeeze it. Never. It was like a dollar for 10. No way. I mean, no, you didn't have squeeze it's because you were busy with your glass bottle.
Canadian water. Bro, that was a once in a lifetime. I didn't have that all the time. We were just in Burley and you were like, and that's where I would go get my Canadian water. No, because it was by the bus stop. Yeah.
And if I had babysitting money, I would go to the gas station next door, get my clearly Canadian. Yeah. Done.
It's not like I had it in stock at home. Sure thing. I'm going to get out of there. Did you ever, they had Kool-Aid packets that were already premixed with the sugar in them and then you could just eat the pouches? No, no, like fun dip? Yeah. No, I didn't do that. I didn't do that either. Yes, you did. You absolutely did or you wouldn't have brought it up.
I definitely did not take that to school and use it at recess. Right. For sure not. Like, have you been eating Kool-Aid and your green teeth tell us a different story? Not green. You didn't like the lime Kool-Aid?
No, never. Gross. Watermelon? Sure. Watermelon Kool-Aid?
Yeah. We did used to go, it was a big deal when we'd go to the grocery store and they had all the different kinds of packets of them on the shelf. And we would like, it was like, you know, ten for a dollar or something. And so we were like, sweet. And so my sister and I would each pick, like the whole summer we'd pick ten packs each or five packs each or whatever. And then we would have Kool-Aid for days.
We had big pitchers, wooden spoons. Oh, yeah. Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Cups of sugar just dissolved in there. Yeah. Yep. Those were the days.
Those were the days. We also used to always do the orange juice from concentrate in the frozen. Bro, we always did that too. My sister just had that. We had that at the Christmas party that we just went to the pancakes and pajamas Christmas party. And she said, who wants to make the orange juice? And I said, make the orange juice. Yeah. And she said, yeah, I've got the canisters. And I went, I haven't mixed these together in decades.
I know. You got to put the, you got to squeeze the frozen orange juice into the bottom of your thing. I think they remember, there used to be a trick where you could get a little bit of ice chunks in there, but I don't remember what it was.
No, I don't remember that either. I was trying to think of it as I was stirring. Man, oh man. Yeah.
I was so happy to see the frozen concentrate orange juice. You were? Yeah.
I haven't mixed that in a long time. They still make it. I know they do. You can go buy it anytime.
No, I'm full aware now. I'm sure it's still a dollar. I don't know how much it is. I haven't bought it. Okay.
What was your answer? What smell reminds you of a kid? Fruit punch? Fruit punch. Yeah.
That's a good, that's a good one, Josh. Fruit punch and grass for me. And grass. Grass for sure.
Reminds me of being a kid. Let me see. I'm just trying to see how much these things are. 350. 350.
Get over yourself. Frozen orange juice. I have these new shoes. New shoes.
Yeah. These ones I got for Christmas. These ones. Uh-huh. I bought those.
That's right. I like them a lot. I've been wearing them around the office.
I was going to for a long time, just keep them real nice and clean by keeping them in like a bag and then changing shoes like Mr. Rogers when I got to work and then changing into outside shoes so they were just real nice. But I got lazy about it. Yeah. So I've been wearing them. The other day, last week, I was wearing them and Melissa, who works in the office just down the hall, she said, hey, those are really cool shoes.
And I said, hey, thanks. They're Christmas shoes. I got these, they got these for Christmas. They're very nice. And she said, they look like they run fast. And I went, whoa, whoa, whoa, hold on.
Cause no one ever says that to adults. And I was like, that's the greatest thing you could ever say about shoes. They look like they run, like you could probably run real fast in those. And I kind of felt like I needed to test them out. So did you?
I haven't yet. But isn't that a nice thing to say about some shoes? Those look like they're quick. I hope nobody ever says that about any shoes that I'm wearing. That they look like they could help you run fast?
Yeah. Because then it's going to have to be put to the test. And then I'm going to be like, no. What shoes are you wearing now? Oh, I'm just wearing chucks. Yeah, those look cool.
They don't look like they run fast, but they might help you jump high. No. They won't. You sure? Pretty sure. You should give it a shot. Well, you should test out your shoes. I need to.
See how fast you can run it. It's been too cold outside. It is cold. But guess what? We have a long hallway here in the studio. I can't go running through the halls. People would be all like everybody in their office would be going, what is going on down there? Why are we running in the halls? So then you do a pre-lap to say, hey, pre-lap.
No, Josh is going to test out his new shoes. Don't come out of your office. You can watch from your doorway, but don't like.
I feel like I'd have many spectators. Yeah. Like here comes that weird runner. Look at it. Look at how weird the way he runs. Why do you run weird?
In an office in narrow hallways, everyone's going to run weird. It's not narrow. They're not very wide.
It's not like, it's standard width. I'd rather have, I'd rather like run through a wide hallway, like at a school. You know how wide those hallways are? Big, wide hallway. Depends on what school you're at. Okay.
A typical one with wide hallways. Okay. Well, it feels like you're trying to get out of testing your shoes for speed. It feels like you're dodging.
It might be because of the running part. Yeah. Yeah, I know. But I bet they're fast. And then I said, so they're barefoot shoes, but I've been wearing the insoles and I've been wearing them with socks because I feel like that's probably more comfortable.
And she looked at me like you're not supposed to wear socks with them. Like what? I didn't know that either. Yeah, they're barefoot shoes. Yeah.
Okay. I don't know what that means. So they're, they're a shoe designed so that it's as if you weren't wearing a shoe. So they have a very thin sole. Unless you wear the insole and then you have some padding and stuff.
But the idea is that it's basically your barefoot with a little bit of protection. I want some of those. They're very nice.
They weigh nothing. Are they fast? I don't know yet.
I know. We'll never know. Do yours help you jump high? No. We'll never know.
I told you no, I have. I want to get one of those things, the little jump height measurement thing. They test your vertical.
Okay. So you put an arm up and you can even do a run up if you want. There's a standing vert and then a running vert and you jump as high as you can and you smack those things. And then the ones that spin that tells you how high you can reach. I'm curious to see how high you can reach. Me too, actually.
Yeah. Where do you get them at? They have them in gyms and stuff. I like it.
Like in sports gyms. I bet you 10 to one. And those are the odds.
No, I know what 10 to one means. I'm going to not even come close to jumping and hitting that. You don't think you're going to hit the bottom one? Nope. Do you ever feel like you want to jump up and hit signs at stuff? No, never.
Like you're never walking at the grocery store and you're like, I want to hit that pickle sign. Never. Really bad. Ever, ever. That one that says olives, I want to smack it. Never.
Never. I like to walk by and just touch them and just show you how tall I am. Oh, and I am impressed every time.
I know. That's why I do it. It's to impress you. And I go, Hey, Hey, look over here.
I can reach the salad dressing sign with flat feet. Look, look, look. Hey, look.
Bunk. And I go, Wow. I know. I know.
Oh my gosh. And then we got a guy down the hall who's like six foot nine. And I think if he went to the grocery store, he'd be able to smack like the one that says aisle six with all the different things that are on the aisle. He could probably hit that one. I can't.
It's fine. I bet I could if I got a good run jump at it. If you got a running vert.
Yeah. With my new shoes. Stop saying vert. I got a big vert. I got no vert. My vert is so not vert. It's horizontal.
Oh no. Oh, I got a good horizontal. Horizont. Yeah. All you're missing is the A L on that.
Well, what's the ICA condensed version? Oh no, horizontal is what they call it. Do they know? I stumbled across this video. It's a reel of somebody out doing some antiquing, just at thrift shops and stuff.
Okay. And I'm watching what they're picking up and I'm like, these are interesting things. And a lot of what people thrift, I go, yeah, if you're looking for something specific, I get it. But if you're just wandering around, you're like, oh, I'm going to get this. I go, what is all this junk? I saw a woman who purposely thrifts. She likes to thrift mugs with personalized mugs.
All right. So it's like families that have given gifts with their kids on it. And she'll be like, this monk this morning, and she shows like her morning to your morning coffee. And it's a different family or a different picture on there. And she's like, I don't know who this is, but this is my family today. That's pretty funny.
I love it. As this person is thrifting, they're like a cookie jar, another cookie jar, lots of cookie jars, more cookie jars. And I'm thinking to myself, like we had maybe one or two cookie jars around the house when I was little. I don't remember ever having cookies in them. And then I got to thinking about like, who invented the cookie jar and why did the cookie jar kind of go out of style? We don't have a cookie jar. No, I did growing up.
Yeah. Guess what it was filled with. Not cookies. Cookies, old keys, change, paper clips. It was just a junk container. You just threw junk in there. Why?
It was never any cookies in there. Why? I don't know. I don't remember. I think ours lived on top of the fridge.
I don't think it ever had anything in it. Ours just became a catch-off for like random stuff. They're like a decoration. They were never filled with cookies.
They're a lie. Who stole the cookie from the cookie jar? Nobody, because there's no cookies in it. Who stole the change from the cookie jar? Anyone, who cares? So, when you learned who invented the cookie jar? I don't know.
I didn't research it. And why do they go out of style? I'm just, I'm seeing the thrift shops are full of cookie jars and I'm thinking to myself, yeah, of course they are. No one's using cookie jars. Because when we make cookies, what do we do with them?
We put them in a nice Tupperware or we leave them on a plate with a plastic wrap on them. The cling wrap. Yep. Easier to get to. Yeah. The problem is the cookie jars I see are small.
So you couldn't put all of the cookies that you make in the cookie jar. We had like a big one. You did. Guess what it was the shape of? Hold on, let me guess. A pet of some kind.
No. A teddy bear. A bear. Yeah. A big teddy bear cookie jar and you take his head off and then his body you can fill with cookies. Yep.
I was going to either guess a dog, a cat or a bear. Yeah. Because that's what your mom likes. That's right. Huh. Huh. Do we need a cookie jar?
Nope. We sure don't. If you had one, where would you put it? On top of the fridge. On top of the fridge.
That's exactly right. Because I don't want that on the counter having to move it every time I need counter space. And guess what I'm not putting in it? Cookies. Right. It's going to be a catch all.
I'd use it for exactly the same thing my mom did. Change in paperclips. Bits and bobbles.
Bits and bobbles. Yep. Have you never heard that before? Negative.
What's the definition of bits and bobbles? I don't know. Let me look it up. I'll tell you what it is. What is it? Change. Paperclips.
Yeah. Lost keys. Why did you have so many lost keys?
It's not that we had a lot. But you know, every now and then you have like a random key that you're like, I don't know what this goes to. No, I don't know. Throw it in the cookie jar. You do too because I just found some the other day and I go, what do these go to? And you go, I don't know. No, I said, I don't know. And I said, yeah, they go to this. Like I knew.
You do not. Bits and bobbles. Yeah. A collection of small, often inexpensive decorative items, trinkets or miscellaneous odds and ends.
All right. Like jewelry beads or little ornaments. Well, rename the cookie jar a bits and bobbles jar. No, it's got to be. But look, I mean, this one.
Illiteration bits and bobbles basket bits and bobbles. I'll think about it. Okay. One thing I know about you is that you love a work fridge. I don't know. Love a communal space where people have leftovers and these are things that you really enjoy. Not have you looked in the work fridge lately?
Nope. I have no reason to go in there. There are two things that are disturbing me and they have been in there for a couple of weeks.
And I'm going to tell you why they're disturbing me. And part of it is that they've been in there for a couple of weeks. I don't understand how people can put stuff in the fridge and leave it there for a couple of weeks. You bring a lunch to work. You put it in the fridge. You eat that lunch for work or you eat that thing for lunch.
You take your Tupperware home. Listen, I've had like, I brought a lunch from home and then somebody will go, hey, let's go grab something to eat. And I'll be like, yeah, cool. And I'll leave a leftover and then, you know, go and have a different lunch. And then it'll sit in there for a couple of days, a couple of weeks. Like I think there's some stuff in there since close to Christmas.
I don't know how things get forgotten. But here's the most disturbing part of all. Look at your face. You're so excited to hear. I don't want to hear.
Go for it. They're not in Tupperware. Oh, what are they in? What is it? What are they in? A plate?
On a plate covered in saran wrap. Oh. One of them.
The other one is on a plate with another plate on top of it. No. Paperclip to it. No. Yes. Yes. That means Mel is escaping. What's it? What's it?
And they've been, I can't even tell, but they've been in there for weeks. A paper clipped paper plate. Yeah. Paper plate on the bottom, whatever's inside.
Upside down paper plate on top binder clips holding it together. That's for real. That's a real thing in the work fridge right now.
And it's in the back of the fridge. It's not coming out. I don't like communal. Fridge. Food spaces. And then on the shelf right below that paper plate with saran wrap on top. Looks like it might be potatoes out grottin on a plate. I don't know what it is, but it's been in there for weeks.
At least two to three weeks. You have to send a note. You have to tell people clean up the fridge. I'm not the fridge guy. Who is?
I don't know. Here's the thing about every office. Nobody is designated as the fridge person. Right. And then somebody gets designated that because they take initiative sometime. And then I think this is crossing me out. I'm going to clean this out.
And then forever and always that person is deemed the fridge person. Nobody wants that job. I know. The last time it was Justin. Maybe I'll tell Justin, maybe we make him the fridge guy. I think he needs to be the fridge guy.
I'm going to go, hey Justin, you're the fridge guy. Because he's not afraid. Right. That's why he'd make an excellent fridge guy.
Because he's not scared of any of that stuff. Right. I can't do it. I cannot. I just want him to know that there's a couple of weird things and plates in there that have been in there for a couple of weeks.
And need to be dealt with. Here's the weirdest thing about me is that I don't necessarily think that I have a weak stomach. I've had kids. I've worked in a preschool. I've had a baby set for years. I've changed a multitude of diapers. I'm not afraid of nose leakage. I don't care about any of that stuff.
But a company fridge. I'm not afraid of gore. I don't mind blood.
Sure. But a company fridge. But it's like the gross other people's food. I can't.
I don't know why that. It could be Christmas dinner leftovers on a plate covered in saran wrap sitting in there. I honestly don't know what it is. I hate it so much. It looks yellowish.
That's why I assumed it was like scalloped potatoes or something. I can't do it. I'll never be the fridge person. It could be a plate of potato salad. I don't know what it is. I worked at a job a couple of years ago. I think people thought because of my job title that I was supposed to be the fridge person. But I went, no, no, no, no. Because they would always come to me and say, this needs to be a plate of potato. Are you talking about when you worked at the school?
Yeah. You were nowhere near the fridge person. I was nowhere near the fridge.
And I never used the fridge. And so I went, no, no, no. That's not my job.
Yeah. But also you were like the administrative assistant at the school. You weren't the fridge person.
But because I was like the answer the phone front desk person, people would be like, well, the fridge is also your responsibility. No way. I'd be like, get out of here. No way.
I don't ever use it. Right. But it's also in the teacher's lounge, not in the administrative assistant lounge. We didn't have one of those. I know. That's what I'm saying.
The teacher should be in charge of their gross fridge. Yeah. Well, that's the same. These are all adults. Take care of your stuff. That's why my stuff lives in my little lunch bag in the fridge. And then I take my lunch bag out. I don't ever put anything in there.
I have my lunch bag. It's thermal. I put my ice in there.
I don't put my stuff in the fridge. Yeah. Because I don't like it. I don't like other people's food.
You got to go look at those plates. I will not. Just go look and tell me what you think is in it.
I will not. It's that cling wrap that's kind of, you know, you can't see straight through it. That's why I don't know what's in there. I don't know.
I don't care about it. We got to go on an adventure and go look. You and me, pal. Get your boots on.
We're going hiking down to the company fridge. So the last wild card game last night, how did it go in your opinion? It was starting out very, very boring. I didn't watch the whole game. I just was kind of checking in and watching as I was doing some stuff around the house. Boring to begin with.
Steelers Texans. Yeah. And when I left the house, it was real slow. It was real slow. When I got back, the score was a lot different.
And then I got to see the end of the game. And I feel, I've talked a lot of smack about Aaron Rodgers. Right.
But I feel kind of bad for him. Now, I have not heard him officially say he's retiring. That's likely because he is one of the eldest quarterbacks in the league.
Yeah. But if he is retiring, I feel bad for him because he did not go out with a bang. I think his last play was a pick six.
That is correct. His last play on the field with the Steelers last night was an interception returned for a touchdown. And then I felt bad because no one should have to leave their career like that.
Everyone should go out on a high. And so that makes me a little bit sad. There's a lot of speculation, a lot of rumor stuff, even within like the past hour or so. A lot of people are saying that he's had comments in the past that are alluding to his likely retirement decision. But I have not heard anything officially.
But he did say on the Pat McAfee show this summer that he's pretty sure that this season would be his final season in the NFL. But that's it. Like he hasn't officially said, yeah, no, I'm done. It's not a great way to go out. No, it isn't.
It's not a great way for a quarterback to retire going, my last football that I threw was an interception returned for a touchdown. That's not the cherry on the cake. That's not. Yeah, that wasn't a good play. Sorry, sorry Steelers.
That was not your best game. And a lot of Steelers fans are saying, please retire. Like they were in the stands at the end of the game yelling at him to retire. Look, it is sad. I know, I know it's heightened emotions. But this is like the seventh, I want to say seventh playoff loss for the Steelers. Like it's not been a good playoff run for the Steelers. They're not going to fire Mike Tomlin, are they? It's possible. Oh no.
It's absolutely possible. I like Mike Tomlin. I know. But you can't go to like nine playoff runs and lose seven.
Like it's not good. I get it. I do. Oh, Mike Tomlin, sorry buddy. That's his job.
I know, I know. Our family did, we've done a bracket. We're at the top, what is it, eight now? Whatever it's down to, yeah, something like that.
I can't remember. I picked the Bills and the Bears to be at the Super Bowl. And who'd you pick to win? The Bills. Okay. Because I really like that Josh Allen guy. Yeah? He's a pretty good guy. Yeah. But I also like Kayla Williams.
Interesting. I picked Houston to win at all. I picked, I picked based off players. Okay.
I picked based off of who I think is going to win. Well, the Bills are great. Oh, for sure. Yeah, they're definitely great. And the Bears have done a really great job this year too. So, listen, I'm here to say it'll be interesting to see.
Yeah. For my brother's sake, I hope the Broncos get there because he's a big Broncos fan. And that would be cool.
That'd be cool. Yeah, I know the last time they were there. Oh, they have been very good.
Yeah. When was the last time Denver was at the Super Bowl? That was in 2016. Oh, that wasn't that long ago. I mean, 10 years. I know, but give another team a chance.
Oh, here we go. Like who? The Panthers? Like the Panthers or the Lions? The Lions would be something to see. I know it would be.
But that just wasn't in the cards this year. Oh, Dan Campbell. Come on, bud.
Next year. Rough and tumble. Rough and tumble, we call him.
Hey, I get to push a new button because we're going to have some music here for would you rather this or that? And hey, look at that. It works. Good job. I know. Good job with your new board equipment.
Yeah, thanks. Would you rather have a pause button or a rewind button? Pause. Same. Yeah. I don't need to go back. No, me neither. But I need sometimes more time.
Agreed. And I assume you mean rewind as in go back and do something differently. Whereas pause would be the world pauses while I get to just exist in a non-pause state. Yes. Yeah, that's what I want.
That's what I want too. Can you imagine what you do on a pause? Because you don't want time to keep going. You don't want the world to keep moving. But if you paused, you could be like... Yeah, you could breathe for a minute. Let me take an hour nap. Yeah. Let me take... That would be awesome.
Wouldn't that be so awesome? What can you manipulate while things were paused? Anything or no? No, you can't manipulate anything. You can only... Not people, I guess, to say. Now you got me thinking. Well, because I'm just... Like if I hit pause... Like if I was driving, for example, and I go pause... And then I get out of my truck and wander around.
Like I can move about, get back in my truck, unpause, and everything just keeps moving. You know, I'm just curious, like what are my limitations? Or am I limited to, you know, a range? Like I can only exist in like a 10 by 10 space that I can manipulate in that pause.
Like I couldn't pause and then go travel the world and see everything paused and then come back. Right. And unpause. Right. And I feel like there would have to be a time limit on your pause.
You couldn't do it for days at a time. That's right. That's why I'm just trying to understand. I don't know. It's all made up. It's too complicated.
It's made up thing. You just make a decision. What's your decision? It's not my game.
I know. I don't want to decide. I just selected pause because I think I need, it'd be nice just to be able to be like, oh, I exhale. Okay. Okay.
So maybe you can only pause at most for like 15 minutes at a time. Okay. You can only manipulate, yeah, things within your... Immediate view. Oh, okay. Okay.
Yeah. Of wherever you're at. Like if you're in a room, you can only... Yeah. Like I can't leave the room. Correct.
Until you unpause. Yeah. Okay. I like that. If I'm in my vehicle, if I get out of the vehicle, unpause.
Okay. But that's dangerous. So you can't leave the room or else unpause happens. Like you get 15 minutes.
Right. Well, I'd pause in my craft room or something and then I'd be like, oh man, now I gotta go to the bathroom. Unpause. Unpause. Pause in the bathroom. Oh, geez. Everything's just pause, unpause, pause, unpause.
All right. This is one of the weirder stories and this has happened sometimes and I had some surgery and it didn't happen to me and I'm grateful but also kind of sad about it. Have you heard of people that wake up from surgeries and due to anesthesia, they can speak another language? I've heard this before.
This guy in Utah just had this happen. He's been diagnosed with this incredibly rare condition that causes him to sometimes speak fluent Spanish even while he insists that he's never learned to speak Spanish. He says that he took like one class in high school but he's not fluent and now whenever he has anything done with anesthesia, when he wakes up for a short time, he speaks fluent Spanish. Okay, but who's determining if it's fluent and not just gibberish? Well, I would assume the nurses and stuff that are around when he wakes up from the nurses and doctors and stuff.
That do speak fluent Spanish? I guess, yeah. So, his name is Steven Chase. He's 33 years old. He is one of only 100 cases ever recorded of what is known as foreign language syndrome.
Anytime he undergoes a surgical procedure that involves anesthesia, he wakes up speaking fluent Spanish. It started when he was 19. He had a knee surgery. When he woke up, nurses asked how he was feeling. He responded in Spanish. They said, hey, can you switch to English? And he was confused because he thought he was speaking English. Weird.
I want this to happen to me. That's what I said. I'm kind of sad that I'm not one of the like foreign language syndrome people because I'd love to be able to speak a fluent foreign language. But also, I'm glad because what a strange thing to have.
I mean, it's incredibly rare, it seems. But anyway, he's had other procedures done. And anytime there's anesthesia involved, he speaks Spanish for a short time, which is wild, right? Doctors say that this foreign language syndrome can be triggered by brain injuries, stress, or general anesthesia.
They can trigger foreign language disease. Fascinating. Isn't it? Like that's in your brain somehow.
Somewhere locked away in your brain. He's got this entire foreign language that anesthesia lets him access. It's weird. It is weird. Do we all have it just in there? Or is it just, yeah. And where have you learned it from?
Just different maybe conversations you've overheard or movies you've had on in the background. Where does it come from? I don't know. Strange. He's got it.
I know. I never learn a foreign language. I never get to wake up from a... I never learn a foreign language. I never get to wake up from a nap and speak a different language. I never use an app to learn a foreign language. I never learn. What are you talking about?
That's a strange complaint. I never learn how to do stuff. I don't know how to do. Oh. Okay. No. I never get to. Shush.
Shush. Get an app. Grab the Rosetta Stone.
I don't know. Take a class. I know.
I never get to learn. Okay. Go do it.
