Full show transcript:
Is your algorithm still filled with a bunch of Everest stuff? No. Do you want it to be anymore?
You kind of got over it? Yeah, I was too nuts.
What did you like and dislike the most?
I did not like the craziness of it. And it was not even just Everest. It was like death on Everest. And I didn't care for that.
Do you know there is an American mountain climber named Tyler Andrews who broke a 23 year old speed record on Mount Everest?
What do you mean?
He climbed from Everest Base Camp, from Base Camp 1, to the ultimate summit with the help of supplemental oxygen. He did use oxygen. He completed the ascent in 9 hours and 55 minutes. The previous record was 23 years ago, was over 10 hours and 56 minutes. He beat it by over an hour and a minute.
Dude, I think it's nuts that people even want to climb Everest, let alone I'm going to beat that record to do it the fastest.
The previous record was held by a Sherpa. Oh my heavens. He's beat a Sherpa by an hour and one minute. Where is he from? He's from America.
His name is Tyler Andrews. That's incredible. I think it's nuts. It is nuts.
It is absolutely nuts. And the fact that he was able to do it and not first of all die is incredible. But he also didn't have to wait in line. So figure that out.
What do you mean he didn't have to wait in line?
The lines are insane. I know, but why didn't he have to wait? I don't know. I think he must have found a way to do it.
Or maybe he left. So he didn't have to wait in the line. Before everybody? Yeah, I don't know. I don't either. Like the amount of people that are up there now, the fact that you have to wait in line to climb Everest, that's crazy.
So far this season, five people have perished on the mountain. So far this season alone.
Don't do it. Don't climb Everest. 18
people passed away in 2023, which was the deadliest season on the mountain. Holy. There have been five so far this season.
So let's not do this.
I know. I don't know what we're doing.
Now I'm going to get those algorithms again because you're talking about it.
I don't want it. Fill your phone with Everest. I don't like it. And fill your podcast with today's show.
And fill your heart with joy. All right.
Good Monday morning. We got five of these to do this week. Yeah, we do.
How exciting.
I'm stoked. I mean, listen, it's a great opportunity. I'm excited to be here. I'm looking forward to today. KidSmartz is back.
That's right. It's going on. Promise this weekend. There's so much happening. It's just, here it is. That's right. Promise this weekend. I know. There's a lot happening.
This morning we're waking up. I'm like, I got all this in my head, all these things, all this stuff I got to get done this week. And you're like, ah, you want to call in sick.
Don't tell people that we call in sick when we're not actually sick.
No. Listen. What? There's more to being sick than like ill.
No, that's true. Sometimes you just need a day.
Right. Like there's good reason to be like, dude. I can't do it today. Not today. However, there's just so much exciting stuff going on and I'm thinking about it in my head and I'm like, man, I can't miss out. So that's why I didn't even look up. I just went, no. And you went fine. Just like that. Fine.
I kind of forgot about all the stuff. So it's a good thing one of us remembered all the stuff. There's lots going on. It's a way to be responsible, Josh. Thanks, yeah.
I know you're begrudgingly. We're like, yeah, fine. Let's go to work. But there's just so much excitement. Sure is. There's tons of stuff happening. We got a job of the week to talk about. We've got Fat Cats with Kids Smart. We got Prom coming up on Saturday. I'm working on building out that whole playlist this week. Yeah.
We've been listening to a lot of Bridgerton songs. Right. There's just a lot to do. There's a lot to do. I get it. I know. I'm here.
So happy to be here.
I am happy to be here. Look at me. Look at my smile.
Glint. Authentic. Well, hey, good Monday morning. It's Josh and Chantel. We're in the studio. We are here. Good morning. Let's do this thing. Let's do it. It's an exciting week.
It is. Let's get it going. Woohoo.
Here is some good news. This is coming out of Drake University in Des Moines, Iowa. They have a mascot there. It's a nine-year-old English bulldog named Griff the Second. Took over the role in 2020 from Griff the First, the original Griff. Griff the Second became a legend, certified therapy dog for stressed-out students, visited over 70 elementary school classrooms to help kids learn to read. Griff the Second, busy, busy dog. He's doing good stuff.
Right? Earlier this month, Griff the Second retired. He was celebrated on stage at the school's commencement ceremony in full cap and gown with the school's president flipping the bulldog's tassel to a roaring cheering crowd. Griff the Second is no longer going to be mascotting and will now be living a life of couch naps and extra treats.
Sounds great. Griff the Third has already stepped in. Already taking the reins, huh? Griff the Third is described as young, outgoing, silly, and smart, radiates happiness and enthusiasm, which means students at Drake will continue to fill joy and support of a mascot superstar for years to come. Drake the Third.
Another English bulldog? Yes, same. Are they all related?
I think that's probably the mascot of the school. But also, I couldn't tell you if they're related or not, but I'm going to tell you that Griff the Second, handsome, in a cap and gown. You know how these bulldogs look. And so you know half the face is open with the tongue out and the tooth doing the thing. I do. And he's got that. He's got that going.
Yeah, oh yeah. I just looked at him. Oh yeah. Oh, Griff. Griff the Second. You helped a lot of people, buddy. But look at...
Have you seen Griff the Third?
I have not seen Griff the Third. Griff the Third's adorable. All right.
There's a picture of Griff the Second with his successor, Griff the Third. Griff the Second's wearing a nice harness. Griff the Third looks like trouble.
Knock him dead, Griff the Third. Yeah, that's fun. You're going to help a lot of students. That's really cool.
Hey, it's good news.
What food can you think of screams summer to you?
What food can I think of screams summer to me?
Yeah, yeah, yeah. You know what I'm saying? Like, you think of summer, what food comes to mind.
Yeah, no, I got it. I just feel like that sentence was missing some words.
You've understood it. Yeah, all right. I'll go first.
Watermelon. Oh, I was going to say watermelon. I know you were. Here's the thing. I feel like watermelon showed up early this year. I agree with that. We have a watermelon. I know.
It's probably two weeks old now. You think it's gone bad?
I think it might be mushy. I know. I feel like I was ready to have it and then I just got too busy to cut it open.
We took it camping. So dumb. Memorial weekend.
We had it for a while. I know we have.
I know. I think that's what we got it for, was for the camping trip.
Yeah. And then how stupid. We just carried it around camping. We're so busy we can't even cut open a watermelon. How dumb is that?
Well, we have that cool thing in the cabinet that cuts it for you.
No, that doesn't work. Then get rid of it. I should. I should. A knife works best.
A knife works best. Yeah. You don't like the thing that cuts the triangles for you? No. All you have to do is cut slices and then you put that thing over it and boom, you got that perfect watermelon.
No, that's not how it works. You cut it in half and then you stick the flat side down and then you can cut it.
I don't care for that. I'd cut slices and then use that thing on the slices because you still have to go back and cut up the pieces. The pieces are going to be too big.
Yeah, that's just too much work, period. I think the whole thing is dumb. Just use a knife. Well, then get rid of it.
I will. It's taking up space in the cupboard. I will. For that big ring watermelon cutter. Why'd you buy it if you hated it?
Because I thought it was going to be cool. Well, maybe you're using it wrong. It's possible. Maybe it is cool. If you use it the way I was talking.
Well, then you use it and see if you like it. I can't be bothered to cut open a watermelon. Look, top of the list for me is foods that I like to eat, not watermelon.
Watermelon is so good. Canalopes are better melon. Is that a summer food? Does that scream summer food? I could eat cantaloupe any day.
You like cantaloupe.
Food that screams summer are grilled foods. So any grilled food. Macaroni salad. That sounds so good. The good kind I make though.
I mean, the one you make is fine. That's good. That's some good macaroni salad. Yours is fine. Wow. I'm just saying it's fine. Peaches? No. Grilled peaches? I can eat that anytime. Potato salad? No. Why? It's fine. It's all grilled food.
Who's grilling potato salad? No, like stuff you eat with barbecues.
Let's have a barbecue. Don't you wanna?
It sounds like work. For me, it's work.
All you have to do is throw some burgers on. That's all. I'll make the pasta salad.
That's all you have to do. I want that. I want more of that noodle salad.
That my sister makes?
Yeah, that was good. I could eat some of that right now. That is good salad. That screams delicious is what that screams. I don't know. I mean, grilled food's probably the top of the list of like that smells like summer. It's outside. We're eating in the backyard. That kind of stuff is what I think of.
Yeah, corn on the cob.
Yeah, that's a big summer one, for sure. I can't wait for summer. I mean, it's kind of technically sort of here.
It's been a little bit chilly this weekend, so it's hard to imagine summer.
All rainy was kind of nice, except that it delayed me from doing some work. But I did get everything I needed to get done and accomplished before I got to play. That was an important thing that I had to get done. Pulled gear out of the shed.
Oh, yeah, you did.
Good job. And I put together a bucket of gear and I feel good. I got something accomplished in the rain even. Congrats. Thanks. Well done, you. So watermelon, barbecued foods, corn on the cob, a myriad of salads. Grilled peaches. Grilled peaches are good. Cucumbers.
What about them? It's summery. You can eat that anytime. You can, but it's like the coolness and the crispness of it. Have you ever put cucumbers in your water? Delicious. Yeah, I made that for you. You weren't the first person to make that.
Yeah, oh yes I was. Like a slice of cucumber, put it in water, some ice, chill it out. That's nice. That does sound nice.
Emery and I were out running errands on Saturday and it was a little bit chilly and rainy. And I said, ooh, let's go get a warm refreshment. And she said, yes.
And then. I was so excited that you included me because there have been so many times that I've been excluded from refreshment club.
I regretted including you.
The second you sent your order in because you have a complicated order. It's not that bad. You have to say three things.
Yeah, except I said that and Emery goes, no, that's wrong. That's not it. You want a couple of years ago, they had a blended lemonade.
This was like three or four years ago.
Yeah, a frozen blended lemonade. Yeah, not ice. Passion fruit. It's delicious. Go ahead. Yeah, it was so good. And then when you ordered it again, like after the summer, maybe in the winter, they were like, oh yeah, we have that.
And it wasn't that. No, they kept making it all wrong. So I had to do a bunch of research online to figure out the key words that I have to say in order to order what I like every time I go. And it's three things. It's not complicated.
Yeah, but I said that and he was confused. And then Emery was like, no, is this. And then she said the thing that you said, okay, let me rewind because they have it back. No, it's not the same. It's like a piña colada blended lemonade. Yeah, I don't want that. I know you don't. But I was like, I'm just going to say he wants a blended lemonade, but with passion fruit and not piña colada.
You can't say that. That's what Emery said. It won't be the right thing. It's not going to be the same. It's not going to be the same. I'm like, why can't he just get a normal thing? It is a normal thing.
So I said, can we get a frozen concentrate lemonade shake?
You're just saying crazy words. I texted it exactly how you have to say it.
That's what you texted me.
That's what I said. No. Yes, sir. A shake lemon concentrate passion fruit. Lemonade concentrate.
That's what I said. No. A shake lemonade concentrate.
There you go. I said that. Yeah, with passion fruit. It's easy.
And then I said, because this is what you always say, you have to get it from the fridge.
There are times, listen, there are times I've gone and instead of getting the lemonade out of the fridge, the lemonade concentrate, they'll grab the lemon flavoring Tarani. And that's not it. Who orders lemon Tarani?
Who orders your complicated order?
You're not in mind it's a refreshment party again. I've stood in line behind people that have ordered way crazier beverages. And I go, you just said 600 words in four seconds. And I go, I don't even know what you ordered. Like what could that possibly... I don't even know what you ordered. I ordered a shake with lemonade concentrate and passion fruit. That's it. It's so easy. Why'd you have to go and make up a blended craziness? It's a shake with a lemonade concentrate and passion fruit.
But then we said... And it's delicious. No, that's not it. You got to order it this way. Right. Because what did you say? I told you what I said.
It was craziness, whatever you were saying. Blended lemonade. I'm going to get some iced thing. That's what it was called to begin with. You can't call it that. They don't know what that is.
You're not invited back to our refreshment club.
Everything was fine until you started making up other words.
Just order something normal. You have two orders. This blended lemonade thing is too complicated. It's not. And a peppermint mocha.
That is very seasonal. Because why? Why can't they keep peppermint year round? Sometimes they have sugar-free peppermint because it doesn't get used. And so sometimes you can say, do you have sugar-free peppermint kicking around back there? And they'll go, yeah, because no one orders it. And I'll go, I'll have that. Taste the same. You like peppermint in June? If it was that cold. But it wasn't. It was rainy. It wasn't like...
It was ice cold. I wanted that shake. I know you got a cold drink. I was like, give me something warm.
Right. I thought that was going to be the complaint. Was that I ordered something cold and you had to hold it or something.
No. It was just that your order is complicated. It's not. I don't want to do it again.
It's a shake with a lemonade concentrate and passion fruit. I know. I know what it is. Not a blended lemonade monstrosity that you made it so crazy hard.
You're not invited to refresh my club again. Go get your own.
Apparently you won't have to. Whose app did you scan? Mine. Were you driving? Yes. That's the rules. That's the rule.
Emory told me that Beck, our son, texted her, our daughter, and said, Hey, Emory, would you like to go on a side quest with me one of these days? And she was like, Yes.
What would be the side quest? And he said, When I get paid again, I would like to go shopping for some new clothes. Yes, we're talking about. He wants to change up his style. Okay. And he chose his sister. Listen, she's up.
She's like a big fashionista. She really is. Like she, is that even a thing? Fashionista. It is a thing. Okay. She is very in tune with styles. Yes. And she's, she changes her clothes 600 times a day. So, you know, she's a typical teenage girl, I guess, when it comes to that. But yeah, that is, that's exciting.
I thought it was so sweet. So he wants to change his style and he doesn't know how to dress. And he said, Can you give me some help and take me shopping? I think that's great. Of course. He was like, Yeah.
He's got my style, which is lazy. Jeans and a t-shirt? It's so easy. It is so easy. I hope he's like, I want to try some shorts.
Well, more than that. Because he's always in jeans. He wears jeans, but his t-shirts are like band t-shirts. Right. Stuff he gets from concerts that he goes to.
There's nothing wrong with that. It's just, he just wears band merch. So I'm curious to see what, what this turns into.
He asked her for some ideas.
He said, What do you think I should wear? Yeah. And some of the ideas were some shorts. Shorts. With like a t-shirt, but then with like a, like a shirt. Like a flannel. Yeah, but short, like a short sleeve flannel. Oh, I see. Like a button up. Yeah, button up, but open on top of the t-shirt. Short sleeve, very summer.
I guess that's what he's going for. All right. So they're going to do some side quest shopping for some new clothes. I think that's really great. That was cute. I think it's really awesome.
I think it's just cute that our kids- Who would you trust? Emery.
I don't know. You don't think you would, huh? I don't know.
She's got big ideas, but she does sometimes when I, when I ask her, I go, Does this look okay? She'll say, Hmm, I shall be like, Let me help you. And she does. So yeah, I trust her. I don't trust you. What? Not that I don't think that you don't. What am I trying to say here? Yeah.
What are you trying to say here? That's a good question. I think you, for ease or you not wanting to be in trouble, you'll say, Yeah, you look fine. Even when I probably won't, or you actually do think I look fine, but Emery will tell the truth. And she'll say, I mean, you look okay, but it could be better.
I, you don't think I tell the truth. I feel like I tell the truth.
I think you tell the truth. I don't think you're lying. I just think you go, You look fine. Which could be, Yeah, you look fine. I don't want to, I don't want to deal with this right now. Or you look fine. Like, Yeah, you look fine. Not like you look great or you look terrible. You look fine. I don't think you're lying. I just need more.
Oh, Mostly it's, I can't be bothered. Can we go?
Cause you look great. That's what I'm saying.
But also you look great. Like, let's just move on.
Yeah.
Because you're like, Yeah, you look great. What do you wear today? You look awesome. Yeah. I needed to run to the store yesterday and I was like, you want to come with? And you were like, Yeah, but give me some time to get ready. And I went, Okay, but I thought you looked fine. You were like, look at me. I look a mess. And I went, No, you don't. You look great.
Yeah, but it looked better. You feel better about yourself if you put yourself together a bit. And that was the real issue, Josh.
I changed my shirt before we left. But other than that, I was ready to go.
I know you are. I was wearing a work shirt. Give me 10 minutes and I'll be ready to go. And I was.
You are quick to get ready. That is true. No, thank you. Cause if it was like, yeah, but let me get ready. And it was 45 minutes. I could have been to the store and back in that time. I'm fast. You are quick. I'm much appreciated. You look good today. Do I? Yeah.
Shorts and a t-shirt. So easy. Now listen, I don't want to compare weekends because I don't think that's fair. But I want to talk about your accomplishment coming up in a little bit. I do want to pause and talk about what I was able to get done this weekend.
Yeah, you had some accomplishments. Cause this weekend was a little bit gnarly for me. There was some rain on, like all day. Not gnarly in a good way. No, it was. Like if you're, if you're rolling blade in that's so gnarly. Yeah. But gnarly, you're talking about gnarly in a bad way.
It wasn't bad. Oh, okay. It was just, there was, there was quite a bit going on, but let me tell you. So, uh, Saturday was rainy and it bummed me out because I wanted to do stuff outside and I was, I couldn't.
And that, I was like, put on a raincoat. Okay. Run some errands. Okay. Take our daughter lunch. Okay. I went over to my mom's for a minute. Like, all right.
Like, you know, but it was just nonstop rain. Right. All day. Right. So then Sunday is kind of still rainy in the morning.
And I'm like, it's got to not do this for both days. Then it stopped raining and I got real motivated to get a lot of stuff done in the yard. We've been working on the backyard. The beautiful backyard beautification bonanza.
You change it every time. I think that's what it stuck with. No, it's the big beautiful backyard bonanza.
Beautification bonanza. Yeah. There's two beautifuls in there. I just forgot the word big. So nonetheless, we've been working on a lot of stuff. Okay. We found a couple of more flowers that are still not planted, by the way. I, I just keep moving them to try and keep them from falling over.
I didn't have time. I know. We'll talk about your stuff here in a minute. But, but a couple of new flowers. And then I was like, you know what? I, I've got to keep the dog out of the garden. And that's really what started the entire day off because I looked out the window and she was standing in the rhubarb plant thing, like the box that I have the rhubarb planted in. And I, and she had ripped a leaf off and I went, what are you doing in the rhubarb? Like get out. And I said, she doesn't know that it's rhubarb.
You did. But why was she standing in the box? Like she was like, no, now I'm tall. Like it was a ridiculous. So I said enough with this. I've got it. I've got to really think about a fence. So when I was outside, I found some fence posts. I was looking around. I was like, I can do this. I, but then I was like, I don't want to make it so permanent. I don't want to dig holes.
I don't want to do concrete in the middle of the yard. Like all these things run through my head. So when I got to find a different way. So when did the T post fence with like the, the pest fence? It's a, it's, do you see how it's got the little grid at the bottom to keep critters out? Like the dog and rabbits and stuff. Well, if a rabbit happened to wander in the yard, it wouldn't be able to get in the garden. Squirrels. They'll jump over. They don't care.
Yeah. Birds will fly in. It's just for like small critters. Okay. Anyway, so put in this fence. And then I was like, you know, I'm tired of daydreaming about this greenhouse. I probably should just like do it. You just do it, right?
Yeah. So I went and bought the greenhouse. I got a deal. I had a coupon.
So I got it for way cheap and I'm building the greenhouse until. I mean, bro, it was after midnight and I was already in bed and I looked out the window and you still had your lights on and you were like, come look at the moon. And I was like, are you nuts? No, I'm going to bed. I can't believe you're even still awake.
I was talking to you through the window.
It was crazy. You were like, come outside. I'm like, no, dude.
The blue moon was happening. It was so full. I had my lights going. I had the moon. I had the, everything was working. It was great. Yeah.
You're nuts if you think I'm going outside at midnight.
And I thought, I should probably, I
have to work in the morning. We have to wake up early. What are we both doing awake at midnight? I don't know. I go, I just finished my thing. I'm going to bed.
I was putting away tools. I was like, all right, that's fine. And then you found some cute lights. You didn't even get to see the lights working. They're adorable. I got them all turned on. They're great.
No, I was so slammed this weekend. I'm ready to get to do some other stuff.
So I'm ready to finish the greenhouse. I've got, I just have the roof to do still. Yeah. And now I've been looking at accessories. Oh. I got to get a thermometer in there. What are they kind of accessories? I got to build some shelving in there. There's a lot of stuff I got to do. Like what?
Oh, so much. I like accessories. I got to put in fans. Like you got to have air flow in there.
They make automatic door vent openers. There's so many things. Whoa.
I know. I'm building the whole shopping list on the, on the internet of stuff I need. Well, I'm impressed. Yeah, it doesn't have a roof yet, but I got a list. Okay.
Anyway, it's it's coming with the roof like you bought the pack and it comes with the roof. Okay, so you have a roof. Yeah, you just haven't put it on yet. No, I have all four walls up. I still have to put the door on. I've got I've got the ridgeline in place. So it's all sturdy.
Yeah, I had to get that done. Because I was like, a wind could come up today. I don't know what it's going to do. And I don't want to have the whole thing get twisted and mangled.
So it looks super cute. I'm sorry. It wasn't around to help.
Yeah. Oh, yeah. I had to build a whole platform floor. Yeah, you did it. I guess it's been crazy.
You did the thing all by yourself.
Yeah, I know. I know. All by myself.
I was busy too. I was on a deadline.
I know. A fence, couple of flowers, a greenhouse, cute lights, lot going on in the backyard.
It's coming together. We haven't even taken a single photo yet.
I've taken photos, not enough, but I've taken photos. We needed to do a before and after. I've taken photos as I've gone along. Okay, good job. I've got like, oh, I got mulch. We put the mulch in. I got a video of us getting the mulch. I got pictures of the mulch in here. I should have taken a video of you last night. In the dark. With me talking through you through the window.
Working all the way. Put your tools away. Come to bed. What are you doing? It's midnight. I got a greenhouse to build. Settle down. You're too old to stay up that late. My body is in pain.
You're too old to stay up that late. My body is in pain today.
So while I was busy outside on Sunday and sad inside on Saturday, you were very, very busy all weekend using those hands and that one foot, just that one calf muscle getting stretched out because you were behind the sewing machine all day.
Saturday and Sunday. Yeah, I'm not even kidding you. It was all day on Saturday and Sunday. Yeah. I am showcasing, not showcasing. I don't know if that's the wrong word, but I am exhibiting a quilt in an art show.
Yes. And it is due today. And I had the top done. So I needed to put the quilt sandwich together, quilt it and bind it. Right. And I was like, let's break it down. This will take me like a day. Is that what you said?
Yeah. Okay. Let's go. Let's go all the way to the beginning. Okay. You have the top done. So you didn't have to do the sewing of the pattern part. No. But when you talk about the sandwich, that's the backing, that's the batting, that's the top altogether. Correct. Stuck together, pinned, ready to be quilted. Correct. And now you don't have a quilt machine. You don't have a long arm. No. You don't have any of that stuff.
It's my regular old sewing machine. You do the tops on, you're, it has a quilting foot and you're going to hand quilt the quilt. Correct. Just make sure I'm on the same page. So you put it in there and you start going and things are exciting, things are new, things are happening. You're like, look at me go. When did you go?
Oh no, I've gotten myself way in over my head. How long did that take? Well, I put my free motion quilting foot on. Oh, listen to you. And because normally you use a walking foot. Right. And I used a free motion one because I was just going to free motion quilts. Like you can use a pattern and you could stitch in the ditch and you can do all this other stuff.
And now. Hold on. When you talk about the walking foot, is that that big one that has the like motor in it? Mm-hmm. Okay, got you.
And it has all the feed dogs that help push your quilt to. Oh, feed dogs. And that is probably what I should have done because that would have taken.
Would you have just done stripes then?
Yeah, probably. Up and down? Yeah. That's not as exciting. I understand, but I decided I was going to free motion and I was going to do a stipple pattern. Yeah, okay. Which is just kind of like a.
Like all over the place. It kind of looks like topography.
Yeah, it kind of does. And when I initially started, I was like, this is going to go so fast. Yeah. And I was making my stitches really close together. And then I went after like two hours and I had only gotten less than 10% done. I said, I got to, I got to do something else. This is not going to get finished in time. So then I started to get more open and more free.
A little more free form. Yeah. Nice. It still took me so long. Okay. When did you finish on Saturday? Because you came upstairs and you were like, your hands were frozen.
Yeah, because those quilts are heavy and this is a twin size quilt. So it's, and it's thick and it's bulky and you kind of have to feed it through.
When you have to roll it and the whole thing.
And so it really wears on your hands a little bit. Yeah. So my hands were like, oh.
Didn't you say something about there were quilters gloves?
Yeah, you can get quilting gloves.
What would those have done for you?
I don't know. I've never used them. A lot of people say that they help with hand fatigue, but I haven't ever used them before. I'm looking at them. It also kind of helps grip the fabric. But I don't know if I would like that because they, they, you know what they look like?
They look like those cool bowling gloves.
Yeah. But gloves never fit right. And I don't know.
I like to have seen them with like, they only have a couple of fingers.
I know. No. Yeah. Not the ones I've seen.
Look up the quilting gloves that only have some fingers. That's weird. I would hate that. They have a thumb and an index and a middle finger. The other two fingers out, not in a glove.
Yeah. I'm already like, nope. That would drive me nuts. They're for grip. No, thanks. Pretty cool. Yeah. So I finished probably at 10, I think on Saturday night because my eyes, I couldn't even look anymore. Right. And my neck was all wonky.
And that's when you said enough. I got to stop. Okay.
And then I got back at it on Sunday. You were very supportive. You kept pushing me. You were like, get down there and do it.
You're stalling. You, you were not excited about me telling you to get down. I'm like, I'll make breakfast. I'll bring it to you. You're like, I can come upstairs neat. I went, no, you can't. I need a break, bro. You got quilt to make. I kept giving you more and more like, like, nah, you got to get back downstairs. Go get.
Please. Can I have a break?
No. At one point you texted me and said, I really need to drink. Can you bring me a diet coke? Please. I'm dying.
I don't know. I should have counted how many bobbins I went through. At one, I should have counted the amount of times I unpicked. Yeah. And then finally I was like, nope, I'm not unpicking that. We're just going.
And so I, I made the five. Did you use all five of the ones I made?
Yeah. And then you made more after that. I clearly went through tons of those. I went through so many, so much thread, so much thread. Yeah. I unpicked quite a few times. I said a lot of bad words. Well, you got to calm down. Just quilt. I was just so tired.
So what time did you finish last night? Midnight. That's okay. But that's, you finished before. I did. But then you had to wash it. Yeah. And you were nervous. You said, because when you put it in there, you're like, I'm going to open it up. There's just going to be thread everywhere.
And it's all going to come apart.
But it didn't. It stayed together. It stayed together. And it went through the dryer. Okay. Yeah, I did. And I saw it was all folded up. Yeah. It's ready to go.
She's, yeah, she's finished. Let's go. She's pretty.
Bound the whole thing. Yeah. Look at that. Look at it.
Way to go. Thank you. I'm tired. It's hard work sitting around all day.
Yeah. I set up your computer so you'd have a screen. You could watch some shows.
I went through so many shows. At one point, my needle was like, I'm done.
Yeah. Your needle bent. You had a whole thing.
At the finish line, my quilting needle was like, I can't do this anymore.
Well, you did it. Good job. Good job. Thanks. Good job. You're welcome.
There is a note taking app on my phone that I have. And when funny things or silly things happen or I have a good idea, I go, I'm gonna write that down for a show note. Okay. And then we talk about it.
That's right. That's how we keep track of stuff.
Sometimes I have to quickly jot something down because I'm still in the middle of a conversation. And then I have to hurry and write it down and then get back to the conversation. And then when I go back and look at my notes, I go, I don't know what that I've misspelled something or I cannot remember the context. Such a thing just happened this morning when I was looking through my show notes and I saw something in my show notes that said, Salt and Cream Club.
What do you think it means?
Well, I know what it means because I've had some time to think about it. But this morning I went, what? Okay.
Is it anything I know about?
No. Okay. So, well, that's because you asked me and I went, I have no idea. I go, I couldn't remember if I had this conversation with you or if I had this conversation with Emery and I remembered. So, what is it? Oh, I'll tell you.
Okay. When Emery and I were looking, we were waiting for an appointment and she started talking about how she wanted to go get some ice cream. And I go, wouldn't it be a good idea if we for the whole summer just try to new different ice cream shop every week or like, you know, a couple of times a month.
Okay. And then we determine what we think the best ice cream place is. And she goes, yeah, I wanted to do this with French fries too. And I went, great idea.
I go, what do we gonna call it? And she goes, and we tossed around a couple of ideas. And the one that kind of stuck was the Salton Cream Club. I see. Salton Cream Club. So, you're gonna try fries and ice creams all over town?
Yeah, but some places don't have fries. They just have ice cream. Yeah. So, it's not gonna be... I didn't think they would be together. Okay. It's not always gonna be together. There are some places that have fries and ice cream together. And then we discussed, well, if you go to these ice cream places, do you have to get the same ice cream at all of the places? But there's a lot of places that have fries that also have ice cream, but they don't have ice cream. They have milkshakes. And does that count?
Yes. You're over-complicating.
No. Yes. We gotta figure it out. There's rules. There's bylaws.
For Salton Cream Club? Oh, yeah. You're making it too complicated. Just go have a treat and then you love ranking stuff. I do. So, just rank your things. But see, I don't like that style of ranking because I would rather have all the things and try all the things and give everything I don't like an extended period of time between ranking things because I may have forgotten how good that was.
So, then you eat it and then you make a bunch of detailed notes. I'm not gonna...
Then nah. I am. But here's the other thing is that you're gonna start. You're gonna have one fry and one ice cream and those are gonna be the top of the list. Yeah. Because you've had one. Correct. And then you're gonna go, was this one better than that one? But you're not eating them the same day. It's like, it could be days later. Right.
I know.
I am aware that's why I'm gonna take notes. Was this one better than that one? I don't know. I can't remember. I'm gonna have to go back. Oh, shoot. Yeah. See, it's just that's... It's complicated.
But then we had to determine, well, is custard in the ice cream category? Is frozen yogurt in the ice cream category? Do we count all of those? The answer was yes. If it's a sweet frozen treat, it counts as an ice cream. Salt and cream club. Do you want to be a part of it?
Here's what I would like to do. Listen, I will tag along, but I'm not rating. Okay. So, I want to go and have treats. I like tater tots more than fries.
Okay, that's fine. So, if I can go and have a good tater tot and maybe a little like soft serve, a little small cone, fine. That sounds nice, doesn't it?
Yeah. That's my speed.
And then, if you do what I do, you don't like to do this, but you can dip your fries in your ice cream.
Gross. Yum. No. Delicious. You can't mix your savories and your sweets like that. I do all the time. I know. It's gross. No, it isn't. Salt and cream club. Salt and cream club. I'm glad you remembered what it was about. We do. Because I did not know a thing.
We had dentist appointments on Friday. Me and the kids, all three of us had dentist appointments on Friday. And Beck had gone earlier in the day. And then Emory and I went at the same time. And we all have the same dentist. We go to different hygienists, but we have the same dentist. And later, I found out that the dentist told Emory that she has the best teeth in the family.
I go to a different dentist. He doesn't know my teeth. That's true.
Out of the three of us, Emory.
Listen, I go to the dentist and I know I do not, because I have a lot more work to get done. So I know I'm not top of the list.
Well, I took very big offense to that because I've spent a lot of money on my teeth. I understand. I've had braces. I know. I've had root canals. I've had an implant. I know. I've had cavities that I've need filled.
I'm aware. Old. Guess what she doesn't have. Any of that. I know. She's the youngest. Of course, she has the best teeth. Any of that. I know. She does have to get her wisdom teeth out. And she is not excited about that.
She is not excited about that.
What do you think she's going to be like coming out of that anesthesia?
Because we haven't seen that before. No. I have seen her on laughing gas. Which was funny. Yeah. She's laid there laughing. She did say she was pretty sad because they didn't ask her if she wanted to pick a toy
from the toy box for the first time ever. Did she pick one anyway?
Or was that she didn't even... Is she in the adult part of the place or is she still going to the kids side? It's all the same.
Oh, it is. I haven't been to that dentist for a lot of years since it was in the mall. Like I used to go to the mall to go to the dentist. That's how long ago. It's been a long time. Yeah.
That's where we started going. And we got a new fancy office. So it's all... You have a cleaning section and then you have a more serious section where like the wisdom teeth pulling happens.
Yeah. But she did say that she laid down and she looked at the TV and she said, I get to watch a bunch of like house flipping shows. And I went, oh man, I wanted to watch that. All I got was an aquarium.
See, I go to a dentist that doesn't even have TVs in the... Lame. No. I just get to have conversation. What do you talk? I go to a very adult dentist.
You can't have conversation. Yeah, you can.
You can't talk like that.
You can't. I will say that my head, Jenna said, I said, oh, fish. When I laid down and she goes, oh, I always forget to look up there. So she goes, I should probably look up there more because you never know what's been on before. And if you get somebody... Don't you get a controller? Sometimes, but not always. No, they don't give it to you. They just go, what do you want to watch?
When I would go to the mall to go to the dentist, they'd give you the remote and headphones. Yeah.
So you could watch cartoons. You used to get headphones. Yeah. Emery was pretty bummed because they didn't even give her glasses. Normally they give her glasses to help with the light. She was like, no toy, no glasses.
And I had to watch a house flipping show. I said, yeah, but you got the label of the best teeth in the family. Yeah. Not fair. Spent a lot of money on my teeth. Rude. But you're right. The dentist hasn't seen your teeth.
That's right. But I know I've got, because I got stuff going on. I got things I have to do. I was a very adult over the past year and a half getting my wisdom teeth taken out.
Like as a... Yeah. It's been far too overdue. Yeah, mine too. And I got that done. So, you know, the kids, however, way better dental hygiene than I ever had.
And it shows. They have much better teeth. Best teeth in the family. She's going to get a trophy, isn't she?
Or some shirt. My dentist says I have the best teeth in the family. I feel like she's going to rub that in your face. Yeah, she already has. Yeah. I don't think that's going anywhere. So, get used to that.
There's a YouTuber. His name is Allen. He got banned from all six flag parks for life. That's a huge ban.
That's a big... I know. A big ban.
I know. Okay.
What did he do? What's his name? His name is Allen Farrell. All right. Allen, what'd you do?
He went on a ride called the Millennium Force at Cedar Point in Ohio. Okay. It is the world's first coaster to exceed 300 feet in the air, and it reaches 93 miles per hour. That's crazy.
And it lasts two minutes. Wow. He snuck a 10-piece chicken nugget in his pants.
Okay. Where he got on the roller coaster, and then he had his friend film him while he ate his chicken nuggets on the ride. He even had sauce out, and he was dunking them in sauce, which turned out to be quite a mess.
Well, so I saw a clip of him with the nugget box in his hand, and his face looked a mess. Really? And there's a guy who was waiting in line who said, is that chicken nuggets? Dude. And that guy, I saw him post a clip, and he's like, I didn't realize I was going to become part of this. I literally just saw him roll up and asked if that was chicken nuggets, as he was like coming back to where the people are waiting in line.
I always think it's crazy when people have their phones out, and they're recording themselves, because, bro, you think you're going to be able to hold onto that phone?
Get out of here. So how many nuggets went flying? How many did he actually eat?
I don't know. I don't necessarily know. They are saying that it's very dangerous, obviously, to the park. It's a choking hazard for one. Also, loose items can turn into projectiles and hit other people. Cedar Point has seen the video, and that's when they immediately banned him.
Got it.
So he posted the video, and then they went, no, we're done with this. So they didn't see it initially.
Okay, I'm watching the... And he says... Okay, so someone made a dare. He got a comment, a dare, that someone said, eat a 10-piece nugget while on a roller coaster. And he was like, you want to see this?
Okay. So he took the chicken nuggets, he checked in, he got on the coaster. Oh, he ate seven of the 10. Yeah, I mean, that looks awful. First of all, roller coasters mess with your belly so much. Yeah. Does it go upside down? Oh, it goes all over the place.
So he claims that he tried his best not to endanger other people. He got in the last row specifically so that no nuggets or sauce would fly back, hitting other riders behind him. But he does struggle not to choke as he's going down the first hill and his cheeks are packed with nuggets.
He did get seven of them and three are left in the box. He didn't lose one.
Well done. I mean, not well done. Right. Don't do this. I mean... And he did agree. He was like, you know what, I understand why they did this. You don't want to have copycats. You don't want to have other people attempting this.
Right. The precedent, for sure.
Don't do this, kids. No, that's a bad idea. But... Hey, just go on a roller coaster. It's fun enough by itself. You don't need to do other crazy things. Leave the nuggies away. They don't need them. Hey, guess what? Just throw your hands in the air sometimes. That's thrilling enough.
Hold on. Put all the trust in the thing holding you in the seat. The lap belt? Yeah, not letting go. A thrill.
I don't know. That one theme park that just got stuck. I don't remember.
I saw that video. Yeah. Yeah, that was crazy.
There's a lot of roller coasters and rides that are getting stuck. I'm kind of nervous about going on roller coasters anymore.
I'm feeling old. Me too. Every time I ride them, I'm like, my brain is a bit shaken. Yeah, it feels scrambled a bit. Right. And then I'm like, I'll just sit down here in the shade and wait for the kids.
It makes me sad because I love roller coasters. But lately, I go, no, not this.
You like bumper cars? Those are fun.
No, I like sitting on the grass. I actually don't like bumper cars because it never works the way I want it to.
Just keep turning the wheel. I do. Just keep turning it the one way. And then you're like, why can't I go the other way? Try turning the wheel the other way.
I'll just sit and watch. Thanks.
Just be over here on a blanket in the shade. Have a good time, kids. Can you believe we're already at Would You Rather, This or That? Can you believe? I feel like this morning has gone by so fast. It's gone by fast. It really has. Would you rather this or that?
Would you rather have a toe the size of a foot or a finger the size of a hand? Just one toe the size of a foot or one finger the size of a whole hand. All the other rest of your toes and fingers are normal. Your hand. Yours. Which, no sense. You just like hold your fingers up. Your pointer finger is a big size of your hand.
I'll have that like an ET finger because I don't want to have to have weird shoes. So that. But you're going to have to have weird gloves. I'm not going to have a two foot long shoe because just one shoe is super long because I have one toe that's two feet long.
But you're going to have weird gloves.
That's fine. I will have an ET finger.
I think it'd be hilarious because you could just hold it in your pocket for people who don't know and then go, Hey, hopefully somebody asks for directions and you could just this way point. It's over there.
Like, whoa, you're closer to it than I am. I know my fingers. You I don't know. Yeah, I'm going that. That's it. That is awful. I don't like this question at all. It's really gross.
Why is it gross? Look at it. Whoa, why is your finger so big? It's just the way it is, man.
Just the way it is. It's as big as my whole hand. I know. It's one finger as big as my whole hand. I get it. It was a would you rather and I had to answer. So it's what I got stuck with. Turn left at the light. Are you picking the finger as well? Are you not doing that big toe?
No, I'm picking the foot size toe. No, I'm going finger.
Man, what a thing. They could put me in a tent and people would pay to see it.
That's true. They would. How much do you think they'd pay? Five cents. Step right up.
Come on in. See the man with the one big finger. That's what they'd say. The guy outside on a box. He's got a cool mustache. He goes, five cents. You can see the crazy man with the long finger. It's as big as his whole hand. That one finger.
It's not that big of an appeal.
Would you not pay five cents?
Who has five cents? You can't find pennies around anywhere. No, but you can find nickels.
You can't find nickels. No, I get it, but who's got a nickel? Pay a dollar and go through 20 times.
I had a coworker the other day and she was eating fruit salad, which immediately, why are you laughing?
Just the sentence. I have a coworker and the other day she was eating fruit salad. Where's this going?
Oh, I'll tell you. She was eating fruit salad. And so immediately, I just said fruit salad. Yummy.
Yummy. Yummy. Yummy. Right. Is that the wiggles? It is the wiggles.
Thank you. And I feel like she was in the age of the wiggles time. And so I feel like I wasn't off base with what I was saying. And she was like, what is that? It's the wiggles. Wake up, Jeff. You don't know the wiggles. And so then I had to pull up a video and show her.
Oh, the wiggles are great. Fruit salad. Yummy. Yummy. Yeah. This is so good. And then she told me that she watched a lot of the Doodle Bops. And I remember the Doodle Bops.
I remember Doodle Bops. Emery watched Doodle Bops.
It was more of a beck. Was it? Yeah. And then it made me sad.
What's the one that had the little robot dudes that Emery watched? Oh, that's a team. Umizumi. Umizumi. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. That's what I was thinking of.
It made me really sad and reminiscent of what shows our kids used to watch.
I know. I keep getting these things in my algorithm that were like, what if you could spend a day with your kid as a toddler again, like your oldest kid? And I go, stop it.
Stop it. Quit it. Because Beck was backyardigans. Big time backyardigans. And then as he got older, it was a lot of finesse and furb. What? Kaya? No, he hated Kaya. And so did I.
Why do people not like Kaya? He's a kid. He's four. He's whiny. He's Canadian. That has nothing to do with anything. No, it doesn't. He just is.
Emery watched a lot of Dora. So we had a lot of Dora. And then she would steal things and say, Swipey. She stole your breakfast.
When did she steal your breakfast? She did that a lot. Just stuff off your plate? Swipey. Yeah. All right.
I miss our kids when they were little. Well, they're. I miss watching those little kid shows sometimes. Now they're their own thing. I just read that the finneas, the woman who played Isabel and the man who played finneas. They got married together. Married in real life. I know. How sweet is that? There's a hundred and forty.
I was just going to say how long is summer vacation? Finneas and Furb is great.
And cool comes around just to end them.
We're going to end the show on that note. Have a great rest of your Monday. We'll be back tomorrow.
Hey, have some fruit salad. Yummy. Yummy. Yummy. Wake up, Jeff.
Don't forget. Somebody forgot to wake up Jeff. Jeff. Jeff. Happy Monday, everybody. Jeff wore purple. If I remember right. Couldn't tell you. I'm pretty sure.
I don't remember. Yeah, I'm pretty sure. It doesn't matter. Wake up, Jeff. Have a good day. Good bye. See you tomorrow.
