And National Scavenger Hunt Day. That's what's happening. I know. You know what, Josh? I did that thing where I said, I'm gonna look the day before and see what the days are, and I did.
And then I promptly forgot. Were you gonna do a scavenger hunt? I thought it would be fun to do a scavenger hunt. And then I, see, I'm like a toddler. My brain is like a toddler Yeah.
Where it's out of sight, out of mind. Uh-huh. I guess that's more of a baby than a toddler. But if it's not in the forefront, I'm not looking at it. I forget it exists.
So I read it, and I went, yeah. That's a cool thing. I didn't write it down. I didn't put it in my calendar, and then I went, forgotten. Out of your brain.
Forgotten about. Alright. Well, hey. Happy Friday, anyway. It's Josh and Chantel.
Wake up, Classy 90 7. It's Josh and Chantel. Friday. Memorial Day weekend. How fast?
Good morning. Yeah. Hi, Chantel. Hi. Can I talk can I talk?
Yes. How fast? How fast do you think a male truck can drive? Not any faster than a female truck. No.
Is this about the guy who was racing? Oh, you've heard this story. Yeah. This is a couple of maybe a week ago or so. Oh, no way.
This guy yeah. He got busted. He was driving his mail truck, but he was doing over a 100 miles per hour. Yeah. And I didn't know they could go that fast.
Either. I thought those little mail trucks could barely go 25. Me too. He was clocked at a 105. Yeah.
That's fast. What? Yeah. You, also probably got fired because you can't be racing your mail truck on the on the on the job. I don't think he got fired.
I know that the USPS said that it the incident is at the center of an instigation. Investigation. Yes. Uh-huh. I I imagine that postal worker is look.
This is not local. This happened in Ohio. Yeah. You can't be hot rod. Our mail carriers are smarter than this.
Right. Our local mail carriers. I know because I know some. Right. They would never do this.
Never. Only happens in Ohio. Mhmm. He this mailman decided to race a Ford Mustang. Yeah.
Look. I mean, when the Mustang pulled up and went, And he said, oh, yeah? And he went, alright. Let's I guess we're doing this. And he went, and all the packages shifted to the back of the thing.
Oh, no. And there he went. Yeah. Arms straight out. His tiny little wheels are about to fall off.
The snow chains on clanking. Like, it's a whole thing. 105 miles per hour. I know. Male flying out of the back.
I would actually like to see male trucks race. I think that would be. Don't do that illegally, everybody. No. But, man You wanna sanction a mail truck race.
Yes. I do. I also saw there was a show, I don't know, some kind of car remodel show that I got sucked into watching with you 1 time probably. Okay. And they were redoing I remember.
A mail truck to look like a cool, like Like old Jeeps and stuff. Yeah. Oh, it was so cool. And now I want a mail truck to Soup up? Yes.
You're gonna do all the turning of the wrenches, or you just wanna buy it done? I just wanted to buy it finished. Me too. I'm not doing all that. No.
That's too much work. Yeah. No. That 1 would probably go a 105, though. Oh, it would be so cool.
Yeah. Classy 97. It's Josh and Chantel. Okay. Here are 10 things that people are convinced that other people only pretend to enjoy.
Okay. Does that make sense? Let's go let's let's start in the list, and then I'll see if I understand. Okay. Twitter or x.
Okay. People don't actually enjoy it, but they say, I love it. Yeah. Okay. I do appreciate it.
Like, oh, I should like it too because that person likes it. And in reality, everyone hates it. Okay? Alright. Gender reveal parties.
LinkedIn. Okay. LinkedIn has its place, but, yeah, the people that use it every day Uh-huh. I don't know why. Voluntarily waking up at 5 AM?
Voluntarily is different than what we have to do. Right? Like like, this is job. Well, people who are like, I wake up at 5 every day. You don't actually enjoy that.
But every day, I get a notification that someone runs past the house I know. At, like, 6 o'clock, like, every day. And maybe they don't enjoy it, but they are committed. Built into that schedule, and they're waking up, and they're jogging. And they're better people than I am.
I don't know if they're better people, but they're certainly healthier, more disciplined people. K. Small talk, nobody loves that. Nobody enjoys that. I just love it.
I love it. Yeah. What do you do for work? Running. In g I think people only pretend to enjoy running.
Nobody actually enjoys running. When I ran cross country in high school, I did enjoy it. You did not. I did. I bet you enjoyed the camaraderie.
No. Because you're kinda by yourself. It was nice to be on a team. Yeah. But, but you're running by yourself.
You're setting your own pace. What did you like about it? I don't know. All of it at the time. But I also like, earbuds weren't, like, a big thing.
Like, we had you know, you you were just out there in your head. With your Walkman? No. Because you couldn't carry that. It was too heavy.
Right. You were just out there. Mhmm. Cold plunges and ice. Yeah.
People only pretend to enjoy that. No way. Edible arrangements? Now this 1, I actually do enjoy. Have you ever had an edible arrangement?
I've seen them. You just like fruit. I do. So if I just go buy you a bowl of fruit and go arrange it, eat it, Have fruit. Look at this arrangement.
The pineapples in this side and the watermelons on this side. Look at it. I've arranged it in this plastic container for you to have. Eat up me, hearties. Family Christmas and Thanksgiving gatherings?
Oh, man. Oh, I just love it. Sometimes they can be No. I get it. Yeah.
And some conversations turn. About them Yes. That I think everyone loves. And then the last 1 that people only pretend to enjoy, high heels. Yeah.
Is that for sure? For sure. I mean, I've done, like, the the walk a mile in her shoes thing for domestic abuse, and, victims and awareness and stuff. Mhmm. So I've walked in high heels.
Mhmm. I'm not a fan. No. Not a fan. Me neither.
Voluntarily doing that is a choice. The last time I wore heels was years ago. I said, why am I doing this? Right. No.
Throw those away. That's a great list of things people pretend to enjoy. I know. I am right. You're right.
I'm right that you're right. You're right that I'm I'm right about you being right. Kombucha was an honorable mention. It's okay. It's not my thing.
No. What? Tried it. Didn't care for it. No.
Me neither. Alright. Check out this story, about Gracie and Audrey. Have you heard of these 2? Gracie and Audrey?
Yeah. No. They sound like a fantastic duo. When they were 15 months old, they were separated as toddlers in China, and they were adopted by 2 different American families. Gracie's new home, was in the state of Washington.
Audrey lives in Wisconsin. Okay. So twins from China separated 2 different adoptive families, 2 different states. They were reunited when they were 11 years old on, Good Morning America. K.
And thanks to that reunion, Gracie and Audrey have been talking to each other at least every other day, texting and stuff, I'm sure, snapping, whatever. And, they've met up in person a few times. They're both graduating high school right now, and both of them are valedictorians in their class. Look at them. Isn't that awesome?
So to celebrate, Gracie traveled from Washington to Wisconsin to Wisconsin to watch her sister's graduation. Audrey will be visiting Washington to see Gracie's graduation probably, I would assume, next week. Gracie said, I'm so glad that I was able to just go down and be with Audrey on her special day. And Audrey said, it's exciting to experience little bits of our lives together and see how similar we still are. Yeah.
Oh, which is interesting. Next up, college, Audrey will be attending Vanderbilt University in Nashville, and Gracie will be going to Eastern Oregon University. Oh, those are so far away. They are still gonna be far away. Both girls are interested in medicine, which I think is interesting.
They've completely different upbringings, different families, different states. Both of them still like, no. I think this is what I wanna do. And, they do plan to stay in touch still and celebrate each other's compliments along the way and into the future. So it's kind of a cool little story Yeah.
It is. Where those 2 have been able to be reunited at 11 after being separated at 15 months old. Oh, great. The end. Audrey.
Audrey. Yep. So, congratulations to both of them, and well done on your valedictorians, ladies. That's pretty awesome. It's good news to get you going on Classy 90 7.
It's Josh and Chantel. Hey. Good morning. Hey. If you've been living under a rock, maybe you don't know, but it is the end of the school year.
Mhmm. People are graduating. Mhmm. People are moving on to different schools. Mhmm.
Things are happening. There's a a major transition that happens in May. There is. And it is here. It is, happening now.
We knew 2 high school graduates, 2 relatives Yeah. Of high school graduates. So you attended a graduation on Tuesday. I wasn't able to attend. I had a niece graduate last night.
We watched a live feed of that. Right. It was cool. And it made me nostalgic of our own graduations. Yes.
I posted some pictures on our Instagram and our Facebook pages of you receiving your diploma Yeah. Looking like a baby. I had, bleach blonde hair. Yeah. I don't even know who that person is.
Yeah. We didn't know each other in high school. No. We did not. We didn't meet till after that.
And then I couldn't find a picture of me receiving my diploma. But you found your senior yearbook photo. I did. Yeah. And I don't know who that person is.
I've never I've never met her. I know. That's my natural hair color. What? Haven't seen that in years.
Here's here's AAA memory I have and not about high school or graduation or anything, but do you remember when it was the end of the school year when you were in elementary school Yeah. And you had all that stuff in your desk, and then, you had to stuff it all in your backpack Yep. And take that all home. Yep. And then whatever happened to it?
I don't know. I remember, like took care of it. That's what happened to me. That's exactly what happened because that's what I do now. But I look at that.
I would I remember cleaning out my desk in elementary school and being like, oh, there's my watercolors. These haven't even been touched. Yeah. We didn't even use these. Why did we watercolor?
Yeah. It's been a long time since we've had kids bring home backpacks full of school supplies. I mean, they bring Oh, there'll be a locker clean out. There is going to be, but it's just papers. It's not fun.
Like Yeah. No. Here's a box of half used crayons. Doesn't Emery have, like, shelves and stuff in her locker? Yeah.
I think she does. Gonna have to bring home some stuff. She's gonna need, like, a like, a banker's box. She's gonna have to carry home a file box No. Of her stuff.
She'll make it all work. I'm sure she will. But that was always a big deal. But then, like, they would have, like, desk clean out day, which was always fun, and it was it was, like, a big deal. I can still smell it.
It smell great. Me too. And then after that, it was like, we're just waiting for the day to be done Mhmm. Because, like, school's done. Like, it's over.
We cleaned out our desk. Have all my my desk is cleaned out. Yearbooks. Yeah. Now what?
Now what? And then you're like, I guess we go home? Is this it? Yeah. I don't have to come here tomorrow?
Never see this teacher again? Strange. Unless you run into him at the grocery store. And what weird thing that is. It's Josh and Chantel.
It is, the kickoff of Memorial Day weekend. Yeah. It is. Yeah. It is.
Do you know what that means? It means a long weekend sleeping in. Hot dogs. I don't think that's on our agenda. Is it?
Yeah. Is it? The unofficial start of summer, and it is the start of hot dog season, they call it. I'd rather have something else. Like what?
Like a smash burger. Hot dogs. Hey. Time out. Last weekend, you bought stuff to make crepes.
I know. Because you have a Blackstone, and you like to cook outside. Yeah. And you weren't able to make the crepes because you didn't feel well. So hey.
Hey. Is there crepe music? No. But there's hot dog music. I know there is, but is there Well, listen.
The National Hot Dog and Sausage Council, that's a thing. They consider the run from Memorial Day to Labor Day a s hot National Hot Dog and Sausage Council. 0NHDAS. That's the acronym. Right?
No. National Hot Dog and Sausage. Council. 0CI forgot a c at the end. It's fine.
The we've talked, and now I'm out of hot dog music. Sorry. So hot dog season is between Memorial Day and Labor Day. Americans eat 7, 000, 000, 000 hot dogs A year? Per year in that time frame during hot dog season.
We talked about this. Hot dogs lose 30 minutes of your life. 36 minutes of life per hot dog. Yeah. It's 818 hot dogs consumed per second.
And here's what dietitians have to say. Don't eat them. As long as you only eat them occasionally as a treat, it's okay. It's not. They're not.
Processed meats and nitrates can cause some real health problems, so you wanna enjoy them sparingly. There are ways to make them a little healthier. 100% all beef hot dog is the way to go because it has fewer additives. They also add some healthy vegetable based toppings like sauerkraut, onions, and kimchi. You can add those.
I love sauerkraut. That'll make your, your hot dog a little better. Mustard is a great condiment. It's low in calories, fat, and sugar. It's also packed with, magnesium, omega 3 fatty acids, which is great.
All of those things. So mustard, throw some vegetables or whatever on there, and, enjoy yourself a hot dog. I probably won't. Why? Because I don't like them.
Wake up Classy 90 7. It's Josh and Chantel. Here's a story. Do you need hot dog music for it? No.
This isn't a this isn't a hot dog story. This is AAA couple weeks ago, probably last week, I told you a story about how they changed the ATM. Okay. And how I couldn't Yeah. They changed the ATM without telling me.
Okay. All they changed on the whole ATM how to insert your car. You don't insert it hotdog style. No. Yeah.
You insert it hamburger style. That's it. When I went to the ATM and tried to insert my card Yeah. I was like, why isn't it taking this? And I tried a couple of different ways to do it the way I have always done it.
And Emery luckily, Emery was there because she said, mom, there's a picture that tells you how it goes. And I went, oh. Yeah. So when we went to the ATM yesterday, you were pretty excited to see see me try to figure it out. Right.
Because I don't think you believed me that it was gonna be complicated. So I pulled up the ATM ready to put my card in, and I went, oh, I see the picture. That's all good. And then Emery from the back seat says, it's out of service. That's pretty easy to ask.
To read. We are those parents that have to rely on their kids now. We're all No. We're so out of touch. Not even.
Never. I just didn't read the screen. I was focused on the card situation that you had made me alert of. And so I was like, oh, okay. I I can figure out this card thing.
It goes in this way. No big deal. And I went to reach up to put it in there. And as I'm my hand's going toward it in in slow motion from the back seat, It's out of service. Oh.
0, there's a a big sign right there on the screen. That says tem temporarily out of service. Got it. Okay. I'll go somewhere else.
Went to a different branch, pulled up, put the card in, no big deal. You seemed a little bit perturbed that it was no big deal for me. I think it was all it was only no big deal because you knew what to expect. But, also, there's a pretty good picture of it. But, also, if you've gone to the ATM your whole life and you've inserted it 1 way your whole life Yeah.
And you drive up to the ATM, going to insert it the 1 way you've done your whole life, and it won't go that way because they've changed it. I will give you a a credit for 1 thing. What is that? And it is that they print the numbers on the back of the card now, and the picture shows them on the front. Yes.
Thank you. So I'll give you a little bit of props for that. I just lined up where the chip was on the image and went I'll put it in that way. But, also, since when have we started inserting ATM cards the long way? Since they're chipped, not striped.
I guess. Hamburger style. Classy 97. It's Josh and Chantal. Have you heard of rejection therapy?
No. But this sounds this sounds dangerous. What's rejection therapy? That dangerous. So it's something the millennials are doing as a way to help them get rid of their social anxiety or not get rid of, but help them deal with their social anxiety.
K. As we all know, social media has made, like, the youth of today, like, have tremendous amounts of social anxiety. They're afraid to talk to people. Sure. In person.
Yeah. Generalizing, of course. Absolutely. So this idea of rejection therapy is that you put yourself in uncomfortable situations with the intent that the person is going to reject you or say no so that you feel uncomfortable. You get rejected.
You get denied, and then you're like, I survived. Yeah. I'm me. Okay. Here's something interesting.
What's that? I would imagine that, putting rejection you predict. And that's exactly what the that's what's happening. Right. And all of them are doing really awkward and weird things.
Like, they go to a restaurant and they ask for a free lunch. And some guy was like, I I absolutely thought that I would get turned down. And they were actually like, yeah. Are you having a bad day? Like, we'll absolutely give you a free lunch today.
Yeah. How can we help you out? Yeah. And, of course, there are times that, like, people do say no. So 1 guy said he went out, and he just asked a stranger to join him for a cup of tea.
And the stranger was like, no thanks. And continued walking. Fine. Yeah. So then they're like, okay.
I felt horrible. Yeah. That was frightening and terrifying. But guess what? I'm still alive, and it wasn't that bad.
And you don't have to sit down with that person now. Exactly. And now you don't have to worry about all the awkward small talk that you'd been worried about. Exactly. A lot of other people are doing, like they'll put a yoga mat in the middle of a busy area of their city, and then people have to, like, come up to them and say, what are you what are you doing?
Doing yoga. Doing yoga. Or you ask a stranger for sunglasses while you're doing yoga in the middle of the busy street. I think it's awesome. Well, I like the idea because it's definitely, it it I don't know that I would call it rejection therapy.
I understand what they're doing. A lot of people are calling in with exposure therapy as well. Okay. That's fair. Like, it's a comfort zone thing.
Like, it would be comfort zone therapy more than anything because you have to be willing to put yourself out there at least a little bit in order to do any 1 of those things, and that's the therapy part. Right. The idea is that you just go and do something weird, and the goal is to get crazy looks. And after you do a very good amount of these, you're not afraid of people judging you or rejecting you or looking funny at you. Yeah.
There you go. It's not a bad idea. I mean, do it do it safely. Don't be don't be annoying. Like, don't, don't harm people or things like, you know, like I will never do that.
Yeah. But because I could see people going like, oh, I'm gonna go be weird and and then getting hurt or something. And that's not what the goal is. Just wear a crazy outfit or something. Yeah.
Put yourself out there. I do this every day unknowingly. I probably trip at least once a day in public. So, yeah, rejection therapy And for the win. Does anybody say anything?
Sometimes people say Are you okay? Are you alright? Yeah. And they go, yep. Good.
Carry on. See you later. Bye. Wake up, classy 97. It's Josh and Chantel.
Okay. You just got called goody 2 shoes by your daughter Yeah. Which makes me laugh because I call you squeaky clean. Right. Because I'll say things like, oh, did you ever lie to your parents?
No. Like, I don't have to lie. Old squeaky clean over here. And then, yeah, I got called goody 2 shoes because apparently, that's the impression that our daughter has of me. She saw the picture of me graduating high school, receiving my diploma that you posted online.
And I have bleached blonde hair, and I have an earring in there you can see, and it's a whole thing. I was so rebellious. But I had bleached my hair blonde, like, every nineties, Yep. Teenage boy did Yep. Because it's what we did.
That's what you did. And then I also had, dyed the tips on top of the, like, spike stuff blue. So I had this blue because you graduated from Skyline. Right. Yeah.
So everything was, you know, blue and white. That was us. And so I had the blue and the white hair for graduation, and then you put a cap on and no 1 can see. No. So, anyway, it was there.
It was cool, and I felt, I felt pretty awesome. Pretty cool? She saw the picture and in all caps said, what is this picture? Dad, what What is this picture? And I said, well, it was cool.
I had a bleach blonde hair. She said I didn't expect that from you. You're like the goody 2 shoes. Right. And then she said, I'm gonna need to see more pictures Right.
I need proof of this stuff. I've got all kinds of stuff. I got a whole bucket of pictures. I mean, like, a giant rubber made of photos. I'm like, go look at them.
Anytime I had a childhood. I existed before 40, whatever I am. And then she said, these are major life Apparently, we gotta deep dive into some pictures over the weekend. I've got I've got a lot of pictures. Show her just how rebellious you were Yeah.
With your earring and your dyed hair. Yeah. Woah. Wow. Watch out.
Wow. Thanks. So crazy. Big crazy guy over here. Oh, you've no idea.
So rebellious. Yeah. What'd you do that's rebellious? Nothing rebellious. Such a bad boy.
Classy 97. It's Josh and Chantel. This is some exciting news. What is it? 7 new emojis are on their way.
Why? What what don't we already have? I would say time these come out. Plus 7 is not like a big, emoji drop. Normally, it's like there's 37 new ones.
Well, let me tell you how excited you're gonna be. A leafless tree Don't need it. A harp. For what? How how many times in your texting conversations have you been, I need I wish I had a harp emoji.
Well, it's coming. The only reason I would want 1 is if I was if I was being sarcastic or something, and I was saying, like, like, just like you imagined, and then you go, like the harp. That kinda thing. I don't think that's what a harp sounds like. Let's what do you think it sounds like?
I don't know. Alright. Let's hear it. Next, a shovel, a splatter mark, a root vegetable that's either a beet or a turnip But you can't tell. A fingerprint, and a face with bags under the eyes.
Alright. I don't think we needed any of these. Do you know what I like to do is use my words. I like to use my my big my big words, and I say things like, boy, am I tired, instead of just sending eye bag emoji. But maybe that's just me.
You'd like to use your big boy words? Yep. Like, boy, am I tired? Yeah. But then if you really wanna hit the point home, you really wanna hammer in that you're tired.
You say, boy, am I tired? Here, I'll prove it with this emoji with bags under my eyes. Do you know what else I'll do? What? Call you, and I'll say, hey.
How's your day? I'm tired. Yeah. I don't I don't have time for that. Just send me a and send me an emoji, and then I'll send 1 back as a me too, bud.
Me too. I see. See how 1 text is easier. I just 1 push of the button, and I could say me too, bud. Me too instead of saying 5 words.
But I could also just call you and to have a conversation. I don't have time. I'm too tired. Whatever. This is a question that needs to be asked.
K. There is you have a as part of your job, you have to do these promos and different things that for the radio station, let's say. Yeah. All the stuff in between the music. You make those.

You're what? What? You buy a ticket for your dog. Yes. And your human is you don't need 2 tickets for your dog and your human.
You buy a ticket for your dog, and then your dog ticket comes with a human companion. Who's flying this thing? I don't know, but tickets are $6, 000. Snoopy. Snoopy's flying this plane.
This it's like first class human passengers. Dogs are offered treats and noise canceling earmuffs. They are allowed to walk around the cabin. They are not a lot like, they're not they're not doing, like, you can't you're don't put your dog in a duffle bag like most airlines do. Or just in a duffle bag.
Kennel. You know what I mean? Like, the small dogs go in duffel bags. Right? No.
Yeah. I've never put a dog in a duffel bag. Well, they have dog you put dogs in bags. I've seen them sometimes. Like little dogs.
It's a thing. I've seen it. Okay. Okay. But this is like it's totally dog friendly where dogs are able to not it's Why totally for the dogs.
But why? Because if you are all about your dog and some people are, the first flight is sold out, Josh. People really care about their dogs in this manner. Also, they did I tell you that, they get the noise canceling earmuffs Yeah. A beverage of their choice?
Water. Why are dogs gonna how are they gonna choose? Right? And other surprises, it says. Sparkling water.
At 1 point during the air the, the the the flight Yeah. Yeah. I imagine, they they take a a laundry basket full of tennis balls and just chuck it down the aisle. Sounds like chaos. The whole flight sounds like chaos.
They're they're free to roam about the cabin. I know. What's the in flight movie? Hotel for dogs, of course. Hotel for dogs.
Children under the 18 are not permitted onboard, and there are no size or breed restrictions for dogs. I bet there is after the first flight. I was just gonna say that. I bet it's gonna be because sometimes large dogs and small dogs don't mingle well. Sounds, miserable.
I know. Like, I I like Luna, and I would travel with her because she travels well in the car. I don't wanna see what she's like on an airplane with Uh-uh. A 100 dogs. Nope.
I don't know how many tickets they've sold on this airplane. All of them. But like I told you, a 1 way flight from New York to LA 1 way. Is $6, 000 for 1 dog and 1 human. And then from New York to London, it's $8, 000.
New York to London, that's like hours hours and hours and hours and hours long. Where are these dogs going to use the restroom? I don't have the answer to that. Wherever they want. Classy 97.
It's Josh and Chantel. That was some Have you ever of a trumpet. Yeah. I know. Have you ever air trumpeted?
It's pretty good. It's similar to an an air bugle. No. It really is. Little buttons on top?
Uh-huh. I for just a split second. Like you're holding a wide sandwich. I thought it was gonna be a trombone, but there's no, like Wah. Thing that comes out right.
It's just the buttons on the But then what was the noise you were making when you were doing it? Yeah. That's it. That's what you were doing. It's my air trumpet.
Hey. If you're cooking this Memorial Day, it's gonna cost you more than it did last year. No way. Really? Yeah.
Hot dog. There's a 10% bump in prices from last year. This is depressing news. No. It isn't.
But but, also, look. I mean, it it is Friday, and maybe you, haven't purchased all of your cookout foods yet. I'm assuming a lot of people already hitting the road. Yeah. I've seen trailers going up and down the road all day yesterday today.
Disappointed that it's not us. I know. The big thing is that burgers, like hamburger meat, has gone up 15%. Everything's dog. Everything else has stayed, like, 1 to 2%, like burger buns and ketchup and mustard.
Hot dogs have stayed the same. There's been no change in hotdog prices. Be alright. The big also deal is relish. It's gone up 49% because there's a pickle shortage.
Did you know about this? I did not know about this. Thanks to extreme weather in Mexico Well, thanks, extreme weather. Saying that there's a pickle shortage, which is why relish prices have increased. Is there Or are we just trying to make extra relish money?
Time. The relish company is like, I'm gonna get in on this shortage game. Yeah. We haven't had a pickle shortage yet. Maybe let's try that 1.
I look. I'm just suspicious is all. I just I feel like there's a lot of convenience around this timing where they're like, hey. It's Memorial Day. Better get your relish early.
Might not have any. Feel like there's gonna be a pickle shortage. That's what I'm saying. Or you could just get some cucumbers and pickle them yourself. Well, you can't do that right away.
Not it takes time. How fast do cucumbers pickle? I don't know. Probably not overnight. Look it up.
You look it up. What goes on your burger? What's your what's the number 1 thing you have to have? Ketchup. No.
Why? It's number 2 on the list of, things people put on burgers. What's number 1? Cheese. Oh, yeah.
Yeah. I have to have cheese. That's right. I I put everything. Ketchup, mustard, onions.
Mustard's number 7. Is number 5. Lettuce, number 3. Tomato, number 4. Pickles, number 6.
I don't do mayonnaise. That's number 9. Bacon is number 8. Bacon is Mushrooms rounds out the top 10. Yeah.
Delicious. Oh, good. Yum. How long does it take for cucumber to pickle? Guess what?
12 to 24 or even 48 hours. No way. Out of here. Really? Yeah.
Well, I learned about pickles today. A long time to pickle cucumbers. No. It doesn't. It takes days.
Pickle shortage. Get out of here. Classy 97. It's Josh and Chantel. Would you rather this or that?
Would you rather go out of town for a long weekend or stay home? Boy, would I rather I I guess it would depend on the time of year. But for example, this weekend, I think I would love to go camping. Well, too bad. We're staying home.
You made that wrong decision. I made the wrong decision the other day to help a friend. Yes. That's not the wrong decision. I made the decision, a week ago or so to help a friend, and now that has tied us to day trips only, which is Which is just what it is.
Fine. Fine. Fine. Fine. We have housework and yard work we should be doing anyway.
I don't plan on doing that. I mowed and did yard work earlier in the week so that I could just enjoy sitting in the backyard, maybe do a fire pit because we haven't done that in a while. Okay. I'm okay with that. And, yeah.
And maybe we'll do some day trips, Maybe go hiking, do a little fishing. Some bike riding? Do some bike riding. I'm in All of that kind of stuff. Maybe do some picnics.
Some days. Take the dog on a walk in the park or so. Some yard games. That. Yeah.
That kind of stuff. Yes. Yeah. Like, that's that's more like how sack race. Somehow, someway, we need potato sacks.
If anybody knows, Chantel's looking for potato sacks. That's how I think we're gonna spend, the the weekend at home. So would I rather be camping? I don't know. Maybe.
But, also, I'm gonna be at home. So I got I got comfort in my bed. That's true. You know? That's true, Josh.
And I can still cook outside. That's I was just gonna say, I'm happy to I'm happy to eat your burgers that you're gonna make. I've just decided that you're gonna make those. I'll be making smash burgers. Sure.
And some crepes. Yeah. And then we can roast some marshmallows. Yeah. I'm fine.
I'm happy about it. All good. We do all this. We've we've brought the outdoor experience to the home. I like it.
Let's do it. So that's what's happening, even though maybe I would rather for a long weekend be out and about in the woods camping. It's okay. We can we can still be outside. Alright.
Okay. You ready for your better today than yesterday daily challenge? Yes. This is when you're ready for the long weekend. Create a big ideas note on your phone and add to it anytime you have a new big idea.
Already list. Done. You have a big idea list? No. It says you shouldn't discount an idea or a question that you have.
Take 30 seconds to write it down when it pops into your head so you can ponder on it later, and not forget about it. It's a big ideas list. I like it. Yeah. Because you might have, like, you know, some goals you wanna reach.
You might have list for goals. Yeah. But you might also just have, like, a big idea or a question that you don't know the answer to that you wanna learn more about. I have, yeah, I have lots of lists. Yeah.
