Full show transcript:
This is wake up classy 97, the podcast, a replay of today's full show in around an hour. It's Friday, December 13th. Why are you saying it like that? Because it's spooky. Oh, spooky Friday 13th.
Oh. Happy birthday, Taylor Swift. Oh, yes. It is Taylor Swift's birthday. I explained math, and Josh tries to keep up.
I fail miserably. It's because I don't know how to explain math. Me and math don't agree. Everything's a u shape. Roland, the classy 97 elf, is up to hijinks and shenanigans.
Which is appropriate. That's what he should be doing this time of year. 'Tis the season to save boxes for gift wrapping. I just emptied a Kleenex box. Oh.
Should I save it? I don't know. Is that a good one? It's small. Yeah.
But But sometimes nice gifts come in small packages. The difference between girl math and husband math, our daughter can tell when mom is upset. And we all just leave the room. SantaCon 2024 is happening this weekend in New York. Yeah.
So get yourself a $50 ticket and go hang out with all the Santas. Josh needs to clean his area of the kitchen. Yeah. What's my area? You would know exactly what area.
That that whole end of the dining room table? Yep. And the stuff on the floor by the door? Yep. And the stuff you threw in the garage?
Yep. It's more than an area. It's a large area. You have a lot of areas. Clean them all.
Okay. I don't know how to shave, apparently. Yeah. What happened? Why did you shave your finger?
I don't know. Quit shaving your finger. That's weird. We dug out some vintage Christmas pictures from our childhood. They're cute.
They're awesome. You're a cutie patootie. So are you, bud. And we both think it'd be better to live in a gingerbread house than in a snow globe. Yeah.

Hey. How are you? I'm great. How are you? I'm a it's a Friday?
It's a Friday. Hey. It's Friday 13th. Oh, spooky in December. Spooky?
Spooky. I looked up what Friday 13th actually means. K. It has connections to religion and mythology. K.
So they are just deeming it like they think it's it's it's known to cause chaos and death. Oh. The number 13th that 13 is. Okay. It's just deemed unlucky in ancient stories.
So that's why today, Friday 13th, is unlucky. Some people love the number 13. Taylor Swift loves the number 13. Is actually Taylor Swift's birthday. That's why she likes the number 13.
Today is her 35th birthday. 35. 35. Wow. Good for her.
Today is also Dick Van Dyke's birthday. Is that right? Yeah. How old is Dick Van Dyke? I don't know.
You suppose. Dick Van Dyke is the best. You know Dick Van Dyke? Yeah. No.
I do. Okay. Let's see. He is I was just looking. 98.
Wow. 98. Look at you, Dick Van Dyke. That's fantastic. If you need smiling like, only Dick Van Dyke can smile.
I know. He's the best. If you need some good news that might be happening today on Friday 13th, they're drawing for the Mega Millions, $670,000,000. Wow. 7 jackpots have been won on Friday 13th Really?
Including a 1,300,000,000 jackpot last January. So it's kind of a lucky day sometimes. Hey. If you think that you might be lucky on this unluckiest of days. Give that a shot.
Give that a shot. Win some cashola. SpaceX is also planning a couple of unmanned launches today. First, they plan to launch a rocket on a Starlink mission from California. K.
And then they plan to launch a Falcon 9 Rocket from Florida tonight. Alright. I mean, might as well go ahead as planned. If you're gonna do a Friday launch, just do your Friday launch. Luckiest of days.
Yeah. Might as well. I mean, what's the worst that could happen? They're unmanned. They are unmanned.
That's true. You lose you lose a bunch of equipment that costs a lot of money. Let's launch some rockets on Friday 13th. Sure. That great idea.
Sure. Why not? Got nothing else going. Might as well. You know how most everybody, if they try to move a sofa around the corner of a house Yeah.
It's difficult. It is difficult. Back up and go forward and back up and go forward. It up and turn it every which way. Yeah.
So this is called the moving sofa problem. Alright. And a mathematician in South Korea may have cracked the code. Really? Yep.
It's about finding the largest possible sofa shape that could be moved around the corner of a hallway. And math people have been working on it since 19 sixties. Wow. Do you wanna get real sciency? I mean, we can get a little mathy.
Let's let's let's talk math. So the problem was initially, brought about by a mathematician in 1966, and he wanted the largest possible area of a single shape in one plane that can move around a right angled corner of a hallway with a unit width of 1. This is science and math, which I am so good at both. Sure. I should be totally I'm not really keeping up right now.
Nobody is. It's okay. I'm just reading words. I don't know what they mean. K.
But you figured it out. So the math is actually really complicated. Obviously, if they've been working on it since the 19 sixties Right. The problem involves area maximization and movement of the shape. Okay.
You keeping up? Nope. Ross from Friends Pivot. Pivot. Pivot.
Pivot. Right. So I'm not gonna get real mathy. It gets real mathy, and and I listen. Me and Matt don't agree.
You agree. You just don't understand one another all the time. No. We never agree. Anyway, basically, it's like it's a u shaped couch.
Uh-huh. You know, it almost looks like like a restaurant booth, you know, a corner booth where it's a little bit large. One side is just a smidge smaller. K. But the cutout in the middle is very large.
Does that make sense? No. No. It does not. Think about a corner booth.
It's very big. Sure. And then the middle, like, there's a there's a Yeah. It's a u shape. I understand it's u shaped.
I got that part. That part. He's saying the solution to getting a couch around the corner is to make a couch u shaped. Yeah. Well, that's not gonna solve your issue of getting a couch around a corner.
Yeah. It does. I know. And not every couch is u shaped. There well, right.
You gotta get a u shaped what I'm saying. That's the solution. The solution is have u shaped couches. That's it. That's it.
One side is smaller than the other side, though. The u shaped couch is smaller than the other side. But then there's a tie there's a diagram of them moving it around the corner. And I Yeah. That actually could work.
Yeah. They could if everything was u shaped, but it's not. Don't you want a u shaped corner booth couch? No. Not a dog.
Come on. Nah. Just rectangles. Just get how about this? A sectional.
Yeah. We have that. No. We don't. Yeah.
We do. No. We don't. Yeah. We do.
It's it's 5 or 6 little cubes. Oh, that? Yeah. A sectional. I thought you were talking about the one that we got rid of.
No. That one is rectangles and squares. That one was heavy. Yeah. It was.
I think a sectional is probably the best bet. Just get pieces of a couch. Right. Easy. Done.
Math problem solved. There is an anonymous donor that has donated 3 and a half $1,000,000 to the Milwaukee Art Museum. Okay. That's an impressive amount of money. Yeah.
There are some very special instructions with this money. It is only to be used to pay for the admission of children under 12 and under Oh. Allowing them to visit the Milwaukee Art Museum for free. That money is probably gonna last for years years years years. The donor wishes to remain anonymous, but told the, museum officials that they had, fond memories of visiting visiting the museum with their family through the years and wanted to foster similar experiences for future generations of families.
And thanks to this, art enthusiast, young people will be able to visit, engage with, and learn from all the exhibitions on display at the world class art museum for years years years. I think that's awesome. Good job, buddy. Yeah. That's really, really special.
Because kids need art. I know. That's a big deal. 3 and a half $1,000,000 anonymous donation, so kids 12 and under can go check out the Milwaukee Art Museum for free. Well and then they, here's the problem, though.
They'll have to be accompanied by an adult. Yeah. And so the adult will still have to pay. What if the adult what if the prices are too high and the adult can't pay? And then kids can't get in even if they can't it a little bit more affordable for families at this point.
I think that's kind of the big deal. I know. I'm just trying to be a stick in the mud. Okay. That's cool.
No. That's really cool. Yeah. Good for that guy. I like that.
I think that's pretty special. Yeah. The anonymous donor. Good job, anonymous donor. Thanks.
Thanks. Thanks for doing that. That's cool. Thanks for helping out, kids. Good news to get you going.
You've heard of Girl Math? Sure. Which is explain what Girl Math is. Girl Math is, like, if you pay for it with cash, it didn't come out of your bank account. It's free.
There's husband math. Alright. Do you know what husband math is? I don't know. Enlighten me, and I'll tell you if I've heard it.
Oh, you've heard of it. Husband math excuse me. Husband math is not wanting to pay somebody else to do the job but then having to buy 3 new tools Yep. Taking 3 to 6 months to finish the project Yeah. And taking at least 5 trips to the home improvement store to complete the job yourself.
Yeah. I probably need to get better about just paying somebody to do the thing. I've been I've fallen victim to this several times. Yes. Yes.
You have. It probably would be, easier if I just went just do it. Just pay somebody. Just It probably is cheaper. I know that you tried to trim our tree by yourself for years years years years.
What I could reach, and I did successfully, but then there was the whole top part. Yeah. Exactly. Which you need some experienced professionals to do that part. So we had to pay.
Yep. We did that in the spring. Yep. Worked out great. I took care of the bottom branches for a long time.
You did. But that tree is taller than me. Now there is a lot of projects in our house that you've been able to complete by yourself. No problem. It looks great.
Like our deck, our floor in the living room. You ripped out the carpet by yourself. You put in the new what is that called? Laminate. There no.
It's not laminate. It's the No. It's the little wood pieces. Together or wood pieces. Whatever that is.
Yeah. You did that. And you did all the trimming, all the baseboards and stuff? Yeah. You did that?
Just fine. Did you have to find new tools for any of that? Yes. How many trips to the home depot did we take? Probably too many.
Yeah. Yep. But I also feel like I A compass feel I'm handy. You are very handy. So I think, you know, applying my skills is good.
And you learn new stuff along the way. I'm not saying husband math is a bad thing. It's just like girl math. Well, sorta. I mean, they're different.
They are different. But I get what you're saying. Yeah. Well That's it? That's all you have to say about about husband math?
Yes. Alright. Yeah. Well, I use that sometimes, so go me. Go Josh.
We have a classy 97 Christmas elf. Yes. He Roland. Arrived last year. Uh-huh.
And we had help getting his name. That is true. I can't remember his full name. Roland t Chestnut. Is that his full name?
Yep. Good job remembering that. Thank you. The listeners helped us decide on his name. That's right.
He has made an appearance back this year. He came back from the North Pole. Mhmm. He's been spewing some magic all over this place. Yeah.
He brought some cookies the other day. He arrived with donuts. He did arrive with donuts. Which was pretty great. He said, doughnut worry.
I'm back. Yeah. Doughnut worry. I'm back. And then, he he hung around the water cooler a little while.
He had to Holly jolly h two o, which was good. And then there were some, some cookies as you said. Yesterday. Yesterday was quite a day. Yesterday was quite a day for our Christmas classy 97 elf elf.
Roland t Chestnut found himself in the sales manager's office in disguise. He had a a tortilla with eye holes cut out He did. Over his face like a mask. I've never seen anything like that. It was quite the sight.
It was quite the sight. I wasn't prepared for what that looked like, nor was our sales manager, Jay. Nope. Jay was in the state. What kind of state?
Well, according to, his Facebook, a state of fear. I know. There's nothing to be afraid of. It's just Roland, the classy Christmas elf. He said, do you remember the time when you sat down at your desk and just felt this icky stocking feeling only to see a creepy tortilla faced creeper behind you?
He called him the spawn of Satan even. He was he's very fear, fearful. I know. And Roland is just a nice little elf. Yeah.
He said, I swear it just appeared like Dobby and Harry Potter, and now I get to sit all day knowing he is watching. And then, what's interesting is that he he said he has been marked safe, from murder by Roland. Of course he is. He said when I got back to my office around 4, he had disappeared as mysteriously as he had arrived, and I have lived to tell the tell the tale. There was a couple of other coworkers who really love Roland and were curious where he was yesterday.
So I wonder what kind of hijinks he's gonna get up to today. Don't know. He's a he's a mysterious guy. Any pictures of his magic this year. I do have a picture of him with his cookies.
You do? Good job. But that's it. And, again, that's because our sales manager, Jay, posted a picture of him with the cookies. That's right.
We right. We did find him on top of the water cooler Uh-huh. The other day for some Holly doll jelly h two o. Right. The water cooler was almost empty, and somebody said, if we need to replace the water cooler, how are we gonna do that?
Because if we touch him, he loses his magic. Yeah. I don't know. I guess you're just gonna have to drink tap water. Tap water?
I could never. I could anyways, he's fun to have around. How many more days do we have of How many days until Christmas? Yep. Well, he he, goes back to North Pole on Christmas Eve.
Is that right? I think so. So that would be 11 days. 11 days. Yeah.
Rolling. Oh, 11 more hijinks. He oh, we also found him in the lobby. He was poking out of it. He was hiding in a drawer.
Drawer saying, hello Yeah. To people coming in. Scared, one of the guys, Daniel, went, I don't know if I like that. So, yeah. He gets up to he gets up to shenanigans.
He does. Oh, Roland. Bless you, Chris. Now is the time where, every box counts. Yeah.
Every every empty box that I see, I go, That's a that's a good box. That's a good box. Do I need that box? There was a box of oatmeal that we cleaned out at our house the other day, and I went, hey. I think I threw that away.
No. You did not. Yeah. I did. It was sitting next to the garbage can, and then I took it out.
I needed to take it downstairs. Nope. It was next to the garbage can, and I was taking the garbage out like a responsible You threw. We're a good boss. I did my chore.
I can't believe you. Oatmeal boxes are the best kind of gift wrapping. That's something your mom would say. I think I've probably opened an oatmeal box from your mom. She's probably recycled it for years.
I bet it is. You're right. I bet you're right. Some sear I threw away some cereal boxes the other day, but not before I said, could I Cereal boxes work good for clothes. Oh, well, too late.
They're getting the garbage. We have thrown away some good boxes. I can't even believe ourselves. Oh, no. I got a a delivery at work the other day, came in the box, and I went Yeah.
Do I need that box? Do I need that box? You're right, though. You start eyeballing boxes around Thanksgiving, and you start thinking about, should I hang on to that? Should I throw that in the garage?
Should I make a pile? I might need a pile of boxes. I have a pile of boxes. I've started collecting them because you just never know when you're in the throes of wrapping if you're gonna need a box. And it usually is it happens in a panic when you're like, how am I gonna wrap this?
This doesn't fit in anything. It'll fit in an oatmeal box. Thanks, Quaker Oats. Yeah. Appreciate your You bet.
Your packaging. It helps me out around Christmas time. What's another good box? Pop Tarts. Pop Tarts boxes are pretty good.
Same as no meal boxes. No. It's a little bit flimsy. Collar. Yeah.
But it's the same flimsy cardboard. Yeah. So you're saying the flimsy cardboard is the best kind of I'm saying it's not. Box? It's not the best.
Oh. I'm saying the oatmeal and the pop tart boxes are not the best boxes. I can't believe you said that. Well I just said the oatmeal boxes are the best. I know.
I know what you said. Shape. They're a good size. I don't disagree, with that. They're just not a sturdy box.
How many times do you wrap a present in a box and then somebody will open it and say, oh, oatmeal. Every time. Uh-huh. And you go, there's something else inside. Every time.
Why does that happen? Because everybody's a comedian. Or they think they are. Telling the same joke. Thinking about, though, what if you really did get a box?
That's always an awkward thing where you get a box and not necessarily oatmeal, but you get a box and you go, is this the prize or is there is this the box that's holding the prize? Have you been in those experiences before? I haven't. No. But, like, if I opened it up and I was like, oh, oatmeal.
That's hilarious. And then I opened it up and it was actually oatmeal packets. I'd be like, sweet oatmeal. That's not what I'm talking about, though. I that that's what you're saying.
You're you'd be excited for oatmeal. I'm just saying oatmeal's a good a good thing. I've got plenty. I don't need any. You'll notice behind you, there are 2 boxes of oatmeal.
Yeah. I know. Save those boxes. I know. Now I can see you going, put the oatmeal in a ziplock.
We need the boxes. I have done that before. And then you use, masking tape to hold them shut too? Yeah. Yeah.
You have to. No. Yeah. I've opened too many masking tape oatmeal boxes in our 20 whatever years together. Too many.
You need a different kind of box. What kind of box would you recommend? A real cardboard one. A fancy one. They're never that the right shape.
A fancy one? You know. You know the kind. Where the lid slides down over the bottom real fancy like. Oh, those are fancy.
I know. I don't have those kind of boxes. I know. I only have oatmeal boxes. I know.
Do you know this is a this is not a trick question, but I Is this a trap? No. It's not a trap. I wanna know if you know how to tell when I'm upset. Yeah.
It's a trap. No. It isn't. Yes. I know how to tell when you're upset.
What what does Why would I tell you this information? Because You have plenty of tells for when you're upset. We were you were not feeling well last night, so you went to bed early. Me and the kids were eating dinner. I was in a in a mood.
I was in a funk, and Emery says, are you okay? Is everything okay? And I go, yeah. It's fine. Everything's fine.
Are you okay? And she goes, I can tell when you're upset. You know? And then I go, well, how? And she goes, your voice gets really low, and you don't look at anybody.
Talk about this. No. Not like that, but just quiet like this. I know. That's a bit of it.
Well yeah. And here's the thing. It's never like I'm trying to hide the fact that I'm upset. I want yeah. I want you guys to know that I'm upset.
Happen sometimes is that I can read you pretty well, and I'll know that you're upset, but you'll be, like, faking that you're not. And I'll go, clearly, you're upset about something. You're like, nope. Nope. Everything's fine.
And I go, alright. Well, when you're ready to talk about it I'm ready to talk about it. Okay. Let me know when. And then, eventually, you'll be like, here's the thing.
And it just all goes. And then you're like, okay. Now I got that out. Because I push it down, push it down, push it down, and then it's like, I gotta get out of here. I know.
And then it explodes. Right. But it doesn't explode. It just all comes out at once. It's never explosive.
There's been some times it's explosive. The one time I shouted at you all from the living room. No. That's a different that's different. That's the mom is upset because, she decided that it was time to clean the house, but didn't invite the rest of us and then just started doing it thinking we're all gonna pick up the hint.
Yeah. And then we did the hint. And instead we all hid in 1 bedroom. And then and then you went, I need everybody out here now. And, and I don't know who that person is, but she needs to go away.
No. Yeah. I shouldn't have to invite you to help with that. Is it was your idea in the moment to go, I think it's time to clean the house. Mhmm.
The rest of us were doing other stuff. Oh, it doesn't matter. No. I know it doesn't matter. It doesn't matter if you guys are all doing something else.
When I have the idea to clean Right. It's everyone's idea to clean. No. I know. No.
You don't. No. I do. I just avoid it. And that's the problem, isn't it?
Not not totally. No. And then it's like, well, I guess we'll go do this now, and it's it's never fun. No. I don't think it's fun either, but here's the thing.
Why did you start doing the project? You could've done anything else. But instead, you're like, no. It's time to clean. Because it needed to be done.
Well, then go for it. Go nuts. See? This is a fun little circle. I know it is.
It is a good one. I love being I love it. Love this right now. Yep. My voice is about to get real low.
Is it? Yeah. Well, you let me know when you're ready to talk about it. Oh, I will. I will let you know.
And you don't like the Hulk? I kinda am the Hulk, aren't I? No. You that's you said that, not me. That was you said that, not me.
SantaCon is this weekend. I don't know what SantaCon is. Santa convention in New York City. It's happening tomorrow. Oh, okay.
What do you do there? Well, there are 100 and 100 and 100 of people, that, put on a Santa suit and show up at Santa Con. Okay. They raised some money for charity, which is cool. They play a bunch of reindeer games.
They have Santa celebrators. What kind of reindeer games? I don't know. I wanna play reindeer games. There's also one in San Francisco and Cincinnati.
It's kind of a big deal. SantaCon. They're all happening tomorrow? Well, this particular one in New York is in, is tomorrow. It's in, like, 23 hours is when it kicks off, which is kind of a kind of a big deal.
I was trying to see, it's $15 for a ticket, and that money goes directly to Santa's Charity Drive. And then all you have to do is show up at the starting point in a costume. You have to you have to dress up like Santa? That's the point. If they really want you to do that like missus Claus.
Okay. I'm sure you could do that. What if you dress up like, does it have to be maybe not Santa, but Christmas themed? Could you dress as Krampus? I don't know the answer.
Dress as a reindeer? But they do they do kind of a a parade thing, as well. So they like, you'll see pictures and videos and stuff of 100 of people in Santa suits moving about the city. Playing reindeer games. Yeah.
I hope they have a lot of air conditioning. It could get well, I mean, there's part of it's outside, so there is that. But It could get real sweaty real fast in there. But they've got some great charity partners. They work with, City Harvest, which, is working to end hunger throughout New York City.
They work for materials for the arts, and that is a recycle, reuse, center, for supplies for art projects. They work with, Burning Man Projects. They work with, a Secret Santa Organization. They work with Clowns Without Borders, which is similar to Doctors Without Borders, but they go, you know, spread happiness and stuff. So SantaCon is a good bunch.
Bunch of different stuff. It is. Absolutely. And you get to have fun while doing it. That's right.
Wanna go. Yeah. It's only $15, you say? Per person. Yeah.
To be a part of SantaCon. To go to SantaCon. How do we go? Well, you gotta go to New York. Or LA.
Starts at 10 AM. Or Yeah. Or San Francisco or Cincinnati. This particular one, 10 AM, Midtown, New York. I just wanna play right here games.
Let's put together a SantaCon here in Idaho. Why not? Right? Yeah. I don't wanna do it, though.
Somebody else You don't wanna organize it. You just wanna attend. Yes. I see. I see how it is.
Well, that's fun. Yeah. Santa Con. Santa Con. The most Comic Con.
Santa convention in town. That's right. Yep. You got it. There is an area of our kitchen, and it's always filled with stuff.
Now the stuff that it's filled with is not my stuff. It's not the kids' stuff. Are you suggesting it's my stuff? Your stuff. What part of the kitchen is this?
It's the one right before you go to the garage, by the table, near the garage. Mhmm. You took the stuff I had there out to the garage. No. Yeah?
Well, a week or 2 ago, I did. Yes. And then new stuff reappeared. Oh. The stuff that reappeared was left on the table for days, and I said, we gotta eat here.
This is where we eat. Yeah. I'm gonna move this stuff back to the floor because I don't know where to put it in the garage because I moved already your stuff out to the garage. It has a spot. Then put it there.
How about or I could just leave it in the dining room. Yeah. You have a pile of stuff on the table still that I don't know what to do with, and it sits there and it sits there and it sits there. And I go, one of these days, maybe he'll look at that and go, I'm gonna put this stuff away. Yeah.
I need to put that stuff away. Mhmm. I just haven't got around to it. It's only been almost a week. No.
No. No. No. Yeah? The stuff on the table, that pile of stuff I guess I don't know what that pile of stuff is.
Came up from the basement when you were cleaning out your studio. Uh-huh. And that has been months. That pile of stuff on the table has been there for months. Months?
Yes. And every day I look at it and I go, this should be put away. And I look at it, but I don't know where to put it because I'm like, I'll just put it away, but I don't know where to where you want that stuff. Yeah. And then I'm gonna go, hey.
Where'd that pile of stuff go? There's, like, a pocket knife. Uh-huh. There are some prayer flags. There are what else is there?
It's just a humble jumble of stuff. Yeah. It goes somewhere. A humble jumble. Mhmm.
You know, a humble jumble. Yeah. You get it. Wonder where I where I should put all that. I don't know.
But because the other stuff's my camping stuff, and I just haven't put that away yet. I know. And here's the thing. Humble jumble is a word, by the way. Okay.
It's a combination of the words humble and jumble. No. I know that. Thanks for the definition. Humble jumble.
That's what Google told us. Okay. Okay. I cleaned out the table probably about a week ago because it had a bunch of your stuff on it. I moved that stuff to the garage.
Right. Then not 3 days later I came back from camping. You went camping Right. And put all of your stuff on the table. It's all it's because it's gotta be sorted, and I just haven't had the time or energy to do it.
And so it sits there. Mhmm. What are we gonna do about it? Oh, I don't know. Something something should be done with it.
What do you think should be done with it? Should it be sorted and put away? Mhmm. Can't be bothered. Yeah.
I know. I'm aware. That's I kinda feel like that's your area. You've kinda claimed that area as your own, much like I've claimed the shoe area as my own. Yeah.
I don't put any shoes in the shoe area. I know. No. That's shoes there. I was It's just 6 pairs of your shoes.
I know. I was looking at it yesterday going, why are there so many shoes here? They're all your shoes. They're all mine. Yeah.
I know. I'm I know I'm not at fault here. I know I'm to blame for a lot of things, but that area is just dining room table. Yeah. That's my fault.
Alright. Well, I might get around to that. I won't hold my breath. Yeah. I probably don't.
I was in the shower last night, and I I moved the shower curtain a little bit. And then I left a trail of blood behind on my finger. What? And I went, what the heck did I do? I don't know how I did it.
The only thing I can think of is that my razor Yeah. That's what it was. My immediate thought was that you nicked yourself on your razor somehow. On my finger, though. How the heck did I do that?
I don't know. Grabbed the wrong end? It has a sharp end. I know it does. Do you see?
I'm showing you. Oh, yeah. It's a little slash. But then there's that slash right there too on the other side. It's a double slash on this side and then a single slash shaving your finger?
I don't know. I didn't think I was. Okay. I think I really honestly picked it up incorrectly. What did I do?
I have no idea. Have you ever done that? No. Mysteriously razorbladed your finger? I have not.
I think razor blade cuts are the worst. They hurt so bad. Yeah. They're pretty, they're pretty not fun. Paper cuts pretty bad too.
Cuts are really bad. Why do those why do the little ones hurt the most? I don't know. And then on your finger is the worst spot to get a cut because then you're either bleeding all over everything Yeah. Which is nobody wants that, or you have a gross dirty Band Aid on your finger.
Nobody wants that either. True. That's gross. Also true. So what do I do?
I don't know. You Band Aid it up, I guess. I know. I don't want a dirty Band Aid on my finger. Ew.
And then if you wash your hands and you've got a Band Aid on and then your Band Aid get gets wet Mhmm. And then it gets wet all in the inside of your Band Aid. Yeah. And then your finger turns out white color. Yes.
Yeah. That's your life now. I know. That is my life now. Sorry to hear about it.
That's a that's a sad news. And then the Band Aid starts to fray around the edges, and you leave it on too much. Punk rock look. Oh, no. It's so gross.
No. It's cool. Like, look how old and vintage my Band Aid is. It's so gross. So cool.
Had this Band Aid for a long time. I put a Band Aid on last night, and I must have wrapped it too tight because I woke up this morning, and I was like, this Band Aid is too tight. So I ripped it off. Well And now I'm going no Band Aid with my razor cut finger. I know.
I just hope that I don't start bleeding over stuff. I mean, if you do, just grab a Band Aid. Oh, okay. You know, problem solved. I'm so lucky to have you around.
I'd do it. I'd do it. To tell me how to live life. Yeah. If you start bleeding, Band Aid.
If you're not bleeding, no Band Aid. Problem solved. That was easy. Good job. We, a couple of weeks ago, had been talking about the corrugated cardboard bright Fireplace.
Fireplace that I had growing up as a kid. As well as my, horrifying Santa costume that I wore when I was, like, 5. It's not horrifying. It's way too big. Well, you were a little kid.
You they should have a little kid costume. It looks like they put me in an adult costume. No. It's not that large. And then just tied ropes around it.
No. They didn't. It's so it's cute. That was at your preschool? Where was that at?
So it was a it was a daycare slash kindergarten, I suppose. And we we were putting on a Christmas program, and I got to play Santa in the Christmas program when we sang up on the house top. So lucky you are. Pretty cool. And I think, in the bag, there were actual toys that I handed out, but I don't remember for sure.
You really got to be the big star. It was a big deal. That is a big deal. I we were lucky enough we had been talking about these pictures a couple weeks ago, and then I was like, I'm gonna go find these pictures. I didn't know your picture, obviously.
Right. But I knew I had a picture of myself next to the fireplace. So I went down into my photo collection and looked, and lo and behold There it is. I found it. And then you in your photo collection were able to find your Santa suit.
But then we also stumbled across what I think is pretty special. We both found a picture from 1984 Yeah. Of our Christmas morning, same year. Yeah. You I was What are you wearing?
I'm wearing a red dress. In the 84 picture? Yeah. This is my 84 picture. Oh, I thought that was your 84 picture.
So 84 picture is you in the dress in front of the fireplace. My 84 picture, I'm wearing the coolest housecoat you've ever seen. A baby blue robe. It's a it is a robe and a half. My pictures I guess these were all on Polaroids.
Yeah. You not your your Santa suit one is not on a Polaroid, but all the rest of them are on Polaroids. Vintage Yeah. Polaroids. Authentic 1984 Polaroids.
I did post the picture of you as a baby in you're not a baby. In my robe? You're about what? Or in my Santa suit. In your Santa suit.
Okay. You're about how old are you? In the Santa suit, I'm probably 5. 5? Okay.
And then me So that's probably 87 ish. Me in front of the chimney, my fake chimney Yeah. Is 1984, so I was 3. Oh, and I'm wearing the cutest little red dress, and I can't even wait until Christmas. That is true.
You have a very short haircut. I do. Which I I've never seen you with a short haircut like that. I've seen you with short hair. Yeah.
But not this one is like, this one is a 19 eighties short haircut. This one looks like your mom went to the hair lady and went, give her what I got. It does look like my mom's hair. Give give give her the, the old Linda special. If you wanna take a peek at what I'm talking about, or what we're talking about, I did post those vintage photos on the Facebook Class A 97 group and the Class A 97 Instagram.
Yeah. This is great. I'm looking I'm looking at my Santa. They also stuffed my my pants to make me more rotund. I don't have hips like that.
Those are those are not my natural hips. There's some pillows. Nobody has hips like that. That's those are unnatural. That's an unnatural hip.
That's funny. I'm I think it's funny that they didn't give you a beard. I think it's around my neck. I think it's just fall off. I see.
I see. Yep. I thought that maybe was, like, your Well, I think there's a collar. There's a collar on the coat, but if you look where there'd be, like, one of those, like an ascot, it's all white. That's my beard sitting there.
It's just falling off my face. What a kid. Look at us. What a kid. We're adorable.
My goodness. Oh, I just can't even wait until the Christmas just can't look at you. Is that Cabbage Patch Doll Christmas? Maybe. Possibly.
Oh, no. My goodness. Disappointed. Sad news for 1984 Chantel. Oh, sad.
Oh, it's time for, would you rather this or that. Oh, what is? The the Christmas edition. Would you rather live in a snow globe or a gingerbread house? Now that's interesting.
I would rather live in a gingerbread house. Me too. But why? Well, for me, I think it would be, so that I could Have some freedom? Be able to leave Yeah.
And be trapped in a globe where it's always snowing. Always snowing. Well, not always. I mean, there's always gonna be snow, but it's not always gonna be snowing. Till somebody shakes you up.
Yeah. And then you're shook up. Uh-huh. I was just gonna say that. You were?
But if you live in a gingerbread house, some people will be snacking at your decorations all the time. No. They won't. Why won't they? Because it'll be all hard and dried out.
Then it gets thrown in the trash. Then you're Don't throw my house away. In the trash. I'm still gonna pick a gingerbread house because I don't wanna be trapped in a snow globe where it is snow all the time. It's wet.
And you're trapped. Well, I don't think that's water. No. It's some sort of, like, glycerin or something because it it it has a different viscosity. Everything kinda moves different than it would in water.
Science. You know? Plus, I need to get shaken up all the time. Yeah. Snow or gingerbread house.
Yep. That's what I'm picking too. Same. Because it's also bigger. If you're in a snow globe, you got a tiny house.
I forgot that. Gingerbread house, you got a big space. Yeah. K. Look at us picking a sandwich.
Figured it out. Yeah. Would you rather this or that Christmas edition on Classy 97? That's gonna do it for the show for a Friday. Thanks for hanging out.
