Full show transcript:
Are you watching the Eagles? Of course, I'm watching the Eagles. What are they doing? Big Eagles stuff? They just finished eating breakfast.
Okay. Now they're it looks like they're playing, having a little ramp. A little ramp? A little wrestle? A little wrestle.
Yeah. It looks like their wings got tangled up. Oh, kinda did. Oh, jeez. Big Eagle stuff.
Hey. It's Thursday, April 3. Weather apps might be lying to us. Yeah. Because one says it's supposed to rain and snow, and the other says it's not.
I like when I look outside and there's some sunshine and blue skies. Right. I like that weather forecast too. Doke. But they're saying rain, snowed.
I'm just saying. One app says it. Okay. No one is swallowing coins these days. I know.
What's the deal? Put that money in your mouth. No. Stop. Your secret's safe with us.
That's right. With both of us. You'll tell Chantel, and then I'll hear about it, but I'll probably forget or something or whatever. If you tell Josh, he'll never tell me. Yeah.
Because I keep secrets. I know, and I just wanna know. Then it wouldn't be a secret. Our daughter is ignoring our phone calls. How rude.
Josh got dragged into a neighborhood of hijinks. Yeah. Shh. Don't tell anybody. I don't I don't know what I What am I why am I part of this?
Who's entitled to the leftovers? The person who paid or the person who ordered? Whoever is willing to take them home, I suppose. Okay. Alright.
I don't have red hair anymore. Since when? It's been a couple of years. No way. Yes.
I thought it was new. Welcome back, shoulder pad. Hey. Sweet. Good look.
Josh is headed back to the dentist? Yay. Who would shop for your hobbies for you? Yeah. And who would you trust?
That's really the question. That. Who would you trust to shop for your hobbies for you? And why does Nintendo wanna make everything more expensive? I know.
It's rude. Knock it off. Yeah. Come on. I wanna afford some stuff.
Yeah. No kidding. It's Josh and Chantel. This is wake up classy 97, the podcast. This is episode two zero four.
Wow. So I know. Enjoy the show. So last night, as you're getting ready for bed, you decide you want to figure out what you're gonna wear Uh-huh. For the day.
Yeah. And we have the smart speakers around the house, and you ask the smart speaker what the weather's gonna be like tomorrow. Yeah. What did it say? It said rainy and snowy with a high of 47.
Yep. That's what it said. But now I just see cloudy today. Okay. Which I'm I mean, that's better than rain and snow.
Yeah. I'm not mad about that. But somebody's wrong. Because how does that happen? Yeah.
Weather changes, doesn't it? I mean, I guess. But in a matter of a handful of hours? Listen. I don't know.
Who's wrong? Here's the here's the weirder part. I can be in a room with three other people and say, hey. Everybody look at your weather app and tell me what the weather is. You're true.
Get three different responses. It's it's totally true. And and now maybe I should check and see if the computer and my phone are on the same page. Yeah. What's Yeah.
And they are because I use the same website and the same app. Well, there you go. It's gonna be the same, isn't it? Well, it should. What did yours say?
Cloudy? Yeah. Cloudy today. High of 50. Yeah.
Mine says cloudy with a high of 50. Are you using AccuWeather? That's correct. AccuWeather. That's correct.
That is what I'm using. Accurate. AccuWeather. What I would think it meant, but, you know, you just never know. It is kind of interesting that people use weather technology to track the weather, and then, oh, mine says sunny.
Now when I do check the Google, weather app that's built into my phone, it says rain, snow starting at about 08:00 tonight and going overnight until about 3AM. Yeah. I don't know. I don't either. I'll tell you, it's looking real nice next week, though.
So let's get let's get through this, and then let's get these, nice sunny high temps that I'm seeing in the forecast great to me. Next week. Although Easter is coming up. Mhmm. It's never nice on Easter.
It's always freezing. It that's Mostly always that weekend, it's it's always heavy. Cold. And I'm supposed to be camping that weekend. So Oh, you're course it will be.
You made a dumb decision. I'm excited, actually. Why? I need some camping. Okay.
Well, then So I'm I'm real excited. Plus, there's, biking and fishing involved in my campout. So April, I'm not mad. Like, I'm really not upset. Okay.
I just want the weather to cooperate. I mean, I'll fish in the rain. I don't care about that. Will you bike in the rain? If I have to.
Dangerous. Is it? Yes. Lick. Slick?
That's a good point. It's a good point. Well, anyway, I didn't know if the weather was gonna play along with what you dressed for. Did you bring a raincoat and snow pants, or what what did you decide on? I just decided on regular clothes.
Oh, okay. So why did you ask then? Well, because my arms get a little chilly. And so I wanted to ask because I was like, if I am I gonna wear a short sleeve shirt Oh. And wear a cardigan, or can I get away with wearing a cardigan, or do I need a long sleeve shirt?
Got it. Got it. See or a sweater if it's gonna be really cold. See? I I'm with you.
I get it. I mean, you work outside a lot. So Josh, my arms get cold. Alright. Doesn't matter if I'm inside or outside.
You wanna be comfortable This is true. This is true. So you wore a vest. Got it. And Keeps your arms warm.
It's Josh and Chantel. Good morning. I was just reading a study that said that since 2012, there's been significant decline requiring procedures to remove coins from throats, noses, and airways. Oh, well, that's an interesting thing. We had a moment.
I I thought, when I saw this note, you're gonna tell me it was the anniversary of that day. Oh, no. But I wanted to talk about that day. That day was wild. We got a phone call that our son who was in elementary school, what?
I've learned. Or second grade maybe. Second or third. Yeah. It was it was he was fairly young, and he wasn't feeling well.
And, I think we were out to lunch or something. I think so. Because we were together. And so, we got the call. We said, well, we'll go get him.
And we went to the school and picked him up. And, on the way out of the school in the parking lot, he kinda went and coughed up a quarter. Yeah. Puked up a quarter. And, and come to find out that's what was going on.
Not he didn't tell us that Mm-mm. When we're like, what's going on? What oh, I still feel good. My stomach hurts. Didn't say I choked on a quarter.
It's stuck in my throat. Not once did he say that. And then and out comes a quarter. And he's like, I feel great. Yeah.
I feel better now. You think? He went to lunch with us. He ate just fine. We were like, why did you swallow that quarter?
Why did it on a dare? Something. Yeah. My friend is sucking on it, and it went in my throat. It was ridiculous.
Don't put money in your mouth, kids. Don't put money in your mouth. Because Adults or adults don't do that. Yeah. One, it's gonna be choking hazard, and two, it's disgustingly dirty.
Right. Significant decline we're seeing. That's because people are using cash less and less and less. Well, I suppose that's true. I think.
That's what I think. Why would there be a decline in coins? Maybe just kids aren't carrying them around. Maybe. Mhmm.
You know? I mean, you used to have to carry your lunch money, so you had change around. I never carried lunch money. Oh, I did. Did you?
Yeah. I didn't have a fancy house. Remember? What? I didn't I didn't grow up where would you have a debit card with a checkbook?
No. What do you mean you didn't carry around lunch money? You talking about? Your mom gave you lunch money every day. When you were I'm sure I had yeah.
When I was in elementary school, we just paid at the beginning. Here's my money for the year. I don't remember carrying any money. I couldn't be trusted with money. I could barely remember my school book.
It wasn't a lot. I mean, it was a couple of quarters and some dimes or something for lunch, and you just No. We didn't do that. My mom just paid at the beginning of the year. Here's for the whole year.
Yeah. It must have been nice. We had to scrounge for change for lunch, but, you know, pay all at once. That's fine. I really don't remember if that's even how it went.
Canadian waters in your Hey. Hey. That was like a once in a lifetime. No. I don't think it was.
I You got it by the case stored in the laundry room. Yeah. That's what I think. You've seen where I've grown up. Yeah.
Yeah. Cases of that. Pretty rich. Your mom was a case lot sale lady. She was.
Yeah. Do you think rich people shop at case lots? No. Yeah. Because you're buying it in bulk all at once.
Yeah. To get the most bang for her buck. Right. She would save up for the k slot sale. That's what I'm saying.
And then we had cans of peaches and cans of green beans for days. Oh, what's for dinner? Green beans and peaches. You didn't have peaches and green beans for dinner ever. Not once.
You're right about that part. Right. Yeah. Next to your fancy steak. No.
Good news to get you going. This is a this is a fun one. So last October, the people of Belle Haven, North Carolina, had what they called the second annual Belle Haven Trout Tournament and Festival. Second annual. That's right.
Big time. I know. The event featured prizes. They had a pig cooking contest. No.
Thank you. They had a craft vendors there and a bunch of different activities. Wait. Wait. We'll go up.
Go back. It's a trout fishing festival. That's right. Trout tournament and festival. But they roasted a pig?
That's right. Why wouldn't they roast? That was part of the fest. Trout. Part of the trout tournament.
Okay. The event was a huge success, the second annual Belle Haven Trout Tournament and Festival. Generated tens of thousands of dollars, which resulted in a $30,000 donation to the, Beaufort County Community College. They're putting together a new scholarship. The money will support students in health care programs Great.
Like nursing and pharmacy as well as skilled trades like, heating and air technicians, industrial sewing, and truck driving. So they're gonna do a lot of good with this new scholarship program. Not surprisingly, the organizers of the event are hard at work getting ready for the next, the third annual Belle Haven Trout Tournament and Festival and are excited to donate even more to give a boost to others in the community, which I think is fantastic. Let's do this. It'll be coming up this fall, with the third annual Belle Haven Trout Tournament and Festival.
I hope somebody's keeping track of the, annual, What year they're in because It's easy. Not necessarily because we had an annual cookie party for a lot of years. And every year, it was like, is this the fourth year we've done this or the fifth year? We didn't keep an accurate track. So I hope somebody's keeping a good track record of what year it is.
Keep posters with the dates and the years. You're right. See what I'm saying? I think if you had a website like they do that I'm looking at right now that says second annual trout tournament and festival now closed. And the year.
Well, yeah. I mean, you would know when you went to the next one to go, oh, we gotta update everything. Oh, look. Last year was second. We'll need graphics for the third.
Keep paper copies too in case the Internet goes down. I'm just saying. Keep paper copies. Where? And of what?
Of the posters, of the flyers. Okay. Write it down somewhere. It's on the Internet. The Internet isn't a good source.
Okay. They do have the dates already chosen. It's at the very top of the website. Third annual Belle Haven Trout Tournament and Festival will be October if you wanna go attend. Catch trout.
The trout they show here have, crazy sharp teeth, in this photo. I don't know what kind of trout this is, but it's a scary looking one. Although the front two teeth are longer, they look like snake fangs inside a trout mouth. And, that that's jaggedy. Like, rainbow trout, like, their mouths like, their teeth aren't sharp like that.
They have some teeth in there, but they're silly. That's a sharp tooth fish. Sharp tooth? Yeah. Anyway, it's good news to get you going.
You sent me a text yesterday. It was a a meme that somebody had posted that said Don't Excuse me. Don't worry about that secret you told my wife. It will be safe with me too. That's right.
Your secret is safe with us. That's right. Which is listen. I always tell people straight up. If you're gonna tell me this, I'm gonna tell Josh.
And don't worry. He's not gonna tell anybody because he doesn't even tell me secrets. This is this is true. I have long had the, the standing belief, and I've passed this on to our kids, and our daughter specifically knows this by heart. I said, what do we know about secrets?
Only one person can keep it. The second you tell one person, you split the likelihood of that secret being kept in half immediately. Yeah. So if you wanna keep something secret, keep it to yourself. I can only tell.
I have to tell one person. I have to at least tell somebody. And so I always say, I have to tell Josh. But don't worry. He's not gonna tell anybody.
One, he'll forget. And two, he doesn't care. Forget? So he's not yes. You do.
Not that you forget. Have I forgotten? You won't forget, but it doesn't it's not Never forget. Not at the forefront of your mind. Yeah.
So you're not It doesn't make an impact. Exactly. I said, so don't worry about him. He's not telling anybody. It's not like you're going around spouting everybody's secrets.
No. You're not that person. Nope. You're gonna be like, cool. And you do.
I've told you stuff before. I've been like, listen to this, and you're like, cool. Yeah. And then we go about my day. Up about that.
Yeah. This that's fine. You know? So your secret is safe with us. That's right.
And it and it's you know, it is true. There is plenty of times where you have been privy to information, been like, I gotta talk to you. I gotta get it out. I can't hold it in. Yeah.
Somebody's gotta know. I go easy. It's it's not hard to keep a secret. But I tell people upfront too. I go, if they say, don't tell anybody, I go, can I tell Josh?
Because I'm gonna. It's nice to be included. Even if you don't want me to Even if I don't know what you're talking about or who the people are or what the secret means or whatever or that it's even a secret, you're probably just telling me stuff in conversation because the like, I wasn't supposed to tell anybody, but he doesn't know that. So blah blah blah blah. And he's not gonna tell anybody because he doesn't talk to me.
Exactly. So And half the time listen. Half the time I go, you don't even have to listen. I just need to say it out loud. Right.
Because if you don't, you're gonna explode. Yeah. I'm gonna explode. So if you don't care, don't listen. I mean, I listen.
But regardless Yeah. Your secret's safe with us. That's right. That's how it works. Josh isn't telling anybody.
Nah. And I'm only telling Josh. There you go. Wipee, hands wiped. I don't know.
Isn't there a saying or something? Mhmm. Like Wipey hands wipe. That's the saying. You got it.
I don't know. I gotta wipe never mind. I'm not even gonna try. Just go away. Wipey hands wipe, and we're done.
You nailed it. I don't know what you thought the saying was, but that's my favorite one. I'm gonna say I was trying to say I'm gonna I've wiped my hands clean of this. Yes. That's what I meant to say.
I like what you said better. I'm so good at life. You're great at it. We work through it. We figured out where you meant to be, But wipey hands wipe is the best.
And that's just the short form Chantel version of that long old thing. Exactly. Don't say the long old thing anymore. You don't need to say I wipe my hands clean of this. You say wipey hands wipe.
Yeah. You gotta do the hand motions. Right. Like, you're wiping your hands. Wipey hands wipe, and then and then you just walk away from the situation.
It's perfect, actually. It is. It's three words. It you it has a hand motion. It's like talk to the hand of old days, but it's wipey hands wipe.
You got it. No. You got it. Stop. Good job.
I'm embarrassed. Why are you embarrassed? You've invented a new one, and I think it's great. I support wipey hands wipe. It's my favorite.
Thanks, dear. Wipey hands wipe. I was hanging out with Emery last night, and she said, mom, do you purposely ignore certain calls when people call you? And I go, what do you mean? And she said, if somebody calls you, do you ignore it?
And I said, depending on what's happening, yes. Like, if I'm busy, then, yeah, I have to ignore it because, like, I can't answer. And I specifically know if certain people are calling, it's gonna take a minute. So, yeah, I have been known to ignore calls before. And I said, why?
Yeah. Why? You ignored, you're ignoring people? What's the story? Yeah.
Why do you ask? And she goes I go, do you ignore phone calls? And she goes, yeah. From who? She said from both me and you, she's ignored phone calls How Purposely.
And I said, that's interesting because I don't ever call you. I usually just text you. Right. You're a text or not a call. But also, why are you ignoring my phone call?
I'm your mother. We've all seen those videos where there's people who ignore the phone calls from their moms. You've seen those the video. You've seen those videos. Know if I have.
Yes. You have. No. I don't. There's a million Instagram and TikTok videos where it's a guy or a girl, and his phone rings, and he's like, oh, my phone is ringing.
And then he sees that it's mom, and he's like, yes. You have seen them. I haven't seen those videos. What happens after the phone call gets ignored? They go about their day.
Yeah. And mom leaves a long detailed message saying, oh, I wish that you would call me or answer your phone call. Yeah. I'm your mother. I'm the one who loves you the most.
Answer my phone, please. That's what happens? I don't know. I don't know. You said that you've seen hundreds of these videos.
I don't know. They end with them. These people saying, no. I'm not gonna answer the phone call from my mom. That's all.
I don't know how it ends. Okay. I haven't seen those. Those don't show up for me. Oh, they show up for me.
What? The point of this conversation is she admitted that she ignores phone calls from us. I don't call that often. I don't call that often. She calls all the time whenever she needs a ride.
That's we'll get the text message that just says, hey. Come get me. And then, you're on the way. And then you're driving, and the phone rings, and you answer on the Bluetooth and go, hey. How close are you?
I go, I just left the house. It's gonna be a minute. How long is it gonna take me? What what are your what is the intersection? Where are you at?
Where Also, it's cold. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. That's the one.
I'm freezing. I'm freezing. I'm a wear a coat next time. Plan ahead. Guess we're gonna purposely ignore your phone calls.
Yeah. Oh, I'm busy. Daughter. Answer the couldn't answer the phone. And then what happens?
And then she leaves a detailed message? I doubt not. I doubt that. I bet she doesn't leave a voice mail. I don't think anybody's leaving voice mails anymore, are they?
I leave voice mails all the time. I do. It's a business thing. Yeah. But I think the younger generation, I don't think they leave voice mails.
Oh, I watched a video the other day where a teacher was showing his class Yeah. How he used to leave his voice mail signature. Like, you know how you would, like, hear a song, and then you were like, oh, I want that on my voice mail. And so you'd have to play the song, and then you'd put it to your face and say, hey. This is Chantel.
Leave a message. And then you'd go back to, like, playing the song on your boombox. But you'd be right I don't. Oh, I'm not explaining it very well. This is this is this has been a great Conversation.
Is that the word? Yes. I feel like I should go back to bed today. Hey. Hey.
Listen. It's Thursday. It's been four mornings of this. I get it. Wipey hands wipe.
I mean, let's just move on. Answer the phone. Rule number one. Mother. Right.
We pay for it. Answer it. That's the rules. She's got important things to say to you. Answer your phone for your wife.
Your mom. Your mom has important things to say to you. I see. I see. Say it.
I was trying to figure out where you were at. It's fine. Wipey hands wipe, and we move on. Ready? Yes.
Alright. Give it a good wipey hands wipe. You're not doing it. You just Go ahead. I did.
You didn't. I did. I've been watching. What do you want me to do? There it is.
Wipey hands wipe. You told me a story yesterday, and it was the best story I heard in a long time. And then you just played it off. Like, it was no big deal. And I went, what are you crazy?
I wish something like that happened to me. Nothing like that ever happens to me. Tell me the story. What story? Driving through our neighborhood, and you said you saw Yeah.
Go ahead. Yeah. Alright. Yeah. No.
I was on our way. I was on our way. I was on my way to pick up our daughter from, school. And as I was driving, the elementary school kids were walking home through the neighborhood, and I saw one of these, one of these kids, sort of hiding behind a a fence just off the sidewalk, like, around a little corner. And as I drove past, he looked at me driving and, put his finger up to his mouth and went, shh, and then pointed around the corner, like, don't tell them I'm here.
There was no one around. There was not another soul in sight the whole way through the neighborhood as I exited the neighborhood onto the main roads. There wasn't another person. I don't know who he was hiding from. I don't know why he wanted me involved.
I don't know, what the rest of the story is. I expected to see him there when I got back. He wasn't. He's I don't know who this kid is. But for half a second, he wanted me to be quiet and not tell somebody that he was hiding around the corner.
He had been doing his heist. He probably had good hijinks going. He was probably gonna jump out and scare somebody. There was no one around. There wasn't anybody walking down the sidewalk that he was gonna jump.
Like, I would have stopped and been like, yeah, it's happening. I'm gonna watch this. No. Nothing was going on. He was just hiding behind a fence telling me to be quiet about it.
You don't know what his plans were, though. I don't. You really don't. When you told me this story, I laughed and laughed and laughed and said, that is awesome. And you were like, yeah.
I just kept driving. Like, of course, like, what else are you gonna do? Alright. I got somewhere to be. I can't just hang out with that kid behind the fence all day.
I know. But, like, he was like, oh, I'm gonna get this guy involved in my heist. Yeah. He He know what he was up to you. You, and that's exciting.
Shh. I would have been like, yeah, man. I got you. I don't it was such a strange moment. Like, I just don't know what it was.
I'm involved in your heist now, kid. Like, now we're gonna get whoever you're gonna get. I'm on your team. I got you. I think that's where you and I are a little bit different.
Me, I was like, I got I got places to be. I don't need to be involved in your heist. I wanna be involved. Hijinks or whatever it is. Thank you for choosing me.
Going like, look. I'm a part of a thing. If I was on my way to work, I would have been like, sorry. I I got roped into this heist of this kid. Neighborhood kid.
Neighborhood kid needed my help. I was the chosen one. Yeah. I'm curious as to what was going on. Me too.
Because there wasn't anybody else. Like, you think he was like, I'm gonna hide from my sibling or something and jump out. I wonder if it was a here's what happened to me once upon a time. My roommate and I wanted to play a trick on each other. So I went in into her closet and hid in her closet Mhmm.
To scare her. It took her a very long time to come into her room. I waited and waited and waited and waited. When I finally exited her room and said, I give up, she had been hiding in my closet Yeah. Waiting to scare me.
You two laughed and laughed and rolled on the floor, and it was hilarious. It was hilarious. Yeah. So I wonder if that's what happened with that kid. He really thought someone was behind him?
He probably was waiting to scare his friend, but his friend is like, no. No. No. No. I'm gonna wait to scare you.
Well, I didn't save anybody. He was hiding real well, wasn't he? I guess. Or his friend made it to his house and was like, I'm going home. I got I got Nintendo.
Yeah. I got things to do. Yeah. I don't have time to play hide around the fence today. I got stuff to do.
Heist today. Yeah. Anyway, yeah, that did happen. It was a it was a strange moment, but it did happen. I'm so happy it did.
Yeah. He picked you to be his secret. Keep his secret, I guess. Right? Like Shh.
Don't take away my possessions. Yeah. Alright. I should've stopped and just yelled, hey. He's behind the fence.
He would've been such a jerk. I don't know what he was trying to get me to be quiet about. I can't talk to anybody. I'm inside my truck. I'm driving.
What do you shh. I kinda wanna do that to just random Tell him to be quiet? Yeah. Yeah. Shh.
Something's going on. Don't tell everybody. Okay. Think for a minute. You're out to eat at a restaurant.
Alright. And you have eaten maybe a good chunk of your meal, but you've got maybe a quarter of it left. Are you taking it home, or are you leaving it? What am I having? I don't know.
I think it's gonna depend on what I'm eating. Nachos, never good never good reheated. Usually, if I go out to eat, I know the portion size is gonna be big enough for two meals. And so I purposely don't order nachos because I know that that's not gonna be good than I said. And it and it's usually a large portion.
I understand. I take that into account when I order. Do you? Yeah. I think, what's gonna taste good, but also what's gonna be good reheated the next day.
I don't think about leftovers when I'm ordering my food. I do. No. I know. I heard you do.
I'm just letting you know I don't. Oh, but I do. No. I know. But you don't typically have leftovers either.
I do. True, for the most part. Unless for some reason, I'm just not feeling it or I or if I actually take my time and then I go, I could take the rest of this home. There was a time that here's a couple of different leftover stories from the same person, my best friend. Uh-huh.
This Tupperware at the buffet? Yeah. Her This one? Yes. Uh-huh.
We would go to we were poor college people. And as a treat, we would treat ourself to a buffet sometimes. And it was a buffet that we loved, and she would bring Tupperware from home Yeah. Hidden in her purse. Like it when you do that.
When you do that. It's not all you can eat today and tomorrow. It's all you can eat while you're here now. There was also a time when we went out with my parents. My parents took us out to eat.
And as we were packing up to go, she said, oh, can I get a leftover container for me? And the waitress said, yes. Does anybody else need a container? And we all said, oh, no. Thank you.
And she said, what? You guys aren't taking your leftovers home? And then she said, can I take them home? And she proceeded to take all of our leftovers home. Did she eat them?
Yes. Of course, she did. For her. Yeah. She's the best.
Uh-uh. Good for her. I read a story once that said, if you are out to eat with somebody and somebody pays for your meal, technically, they are entitled to your leftovers. Is that real? I mean I don't know.
I get entitled, but at the same time, I go, look. I I understand you're paying for it, so, yeah, you should. But I'm not ever going to do that. But it's no. I'm never gonna do that.
But it's also like giving somebody a gift. I'm saying, here is $10 for your meal. This is a gift I'm giving you. I don't want it back. Right.
It's not mine. I gave it to you. Yeah. I bought food for you. I wouldn't be like, you better give me the rest of that mac.
You're not that mac and cheese, you're not scraping off your plates coming home with me. Yeah. That's mine. That's strange. Give me half of that steak.
Yeah. I'm not, I'm not that guy. That that guy is weird. Don't be that guy. Right.
Okay. Leftovers. There's people who don't take their leftovers at all. Still a little blown away at you pick your meal based on what might be good leftover. That is still interesting.
Not what I based my entire decision on. No. I know. You have way too much involved in deciding what to eat. Because part of it is what is everyone else around me going to eat, and I don't understand why that matters in your decision.
No. It that does not matter in my decision at all. That is just my own curiosity, and I think maybe they've picked something that I haven't yet seen on the menu, and I like to look. That's why I ask you. I said, what have you ordered?
What do you guys want to look at? And, typically, I look at what you order, and I go, no. I'm never gonna order that. But you ask? Because I'm just curious.
You'll see it when it comes out when I'm getting ready to eat it. And then you'll go, oh, that looks good. Or you'll go, I'm glad I didn't order that. And most times, you get whatever you ordered and go, yeah. Clearly, I made the best choice.
Yeah. I'll never eat what you ordered. And that's fine. That's why we can never share because we'll never agree on the same food to eat for dinner. That's why I'm asking.
Why ask, though? Why if it doesn't matter, why Because I'm just curious. Yeah. I don't know why you have to keep it such a secret. Because I've made a decision, and it's you'll see when it gets here.
Well, congratulations. That's why we don't go out to eat often. Because I have to deal with third degree of questions about what I'm gonna order. It's one question. Trash, what are you gonna order?
And you if I'm in the middle of a conversation or if I'm, like, ignoring you, then you you just go, what are you ordering? Tell me. What are you gonna order? And I go, hey. Hey.
You'll see when you get here. I don't It's it'll be a big deal. It'll be a big reveal. I don't think it's as intense as that. Or you'll hear me order when the waitress or waiter asks, and and then, I'll say, oh, I'll have this, and you go, that's what I would have picked for you.
That's the other thing that happens. Like, yeah. Like, it's some weird game. It's a strange a strange little thing you do. I don't think it's strange at all.
I think you're strange. Oh, okay. I didn't say you were strange. I said it's a strange thing you do. No.
You're not strange. Just your behavior is. Yeah. That Yeah. That's better.
Behavior. That that's a strange thing you do. Miser. Thanks. It's not you.
It's the things you do. That's all. I am not let's see. My natural I'm trying to figure out where to start this conversation. I am not.
I am not. My natural So I'm Let let me see if I can guess. Good. I am not actually, brunette. Correct.
My natural hair color is dirty dishwater blonde. That's what everybody always told me. I said, what is my hair color? Well, it's not blonde, and it's not brown. It's a dirty dishwater.
And I went, oh, that's gross. I know. It's a terrible name. It is a terrible name. But that was what my hair color naturally has been.
And then I have been let's see. I've been purple. I've been a little shade of blue, like a light dark black shade of blue. I've been red. When the red fades, it turns to orange a little bit.
I've been platinum blonde. And now Very short amount of time. And I wouldn't call it platinum. It was more it was yellowish. Okay.
It wasn't platinum. Okay. It was more like a platinamy silver blonde is is something else where you have to use the purple shampoo. Okay. Yeah.
You know what I'm talking about. I do. You weren't that. I showed my current hairstylist the the blonde, the yellow, and she was like, oh, no. That's not it.
I know. It was temporary. It was short lived. It's very short lived. It was because I didn't like it.
It washed out my skin tone. It was not good. Currently, I am I've got black hair. I dye my hair black, and it's been couple years that it's been black. Mhmm.
Okay. Couple years it's been black. In the last week, there have been two people that I see pretty regularly who have said, have you dyed your hair? Did you dye your hair? And I go, yeah.
Just like to get the roots, the grays started poking through. Mhmm. And they're like, each of them. Oh, I miss the red. It's been years since I've had the red.
Years. And now these two people have both said in the same week, I liked the red. Cool. Good for you. Yeah.
Go get your hair red then. Your red hair, is it? Yeah. Go dye your hair red then if you miss it so much. Interesting.
I know. Isn't it interesting? Yeah. I just wonder, have you not been paying attention the last couple of years that have been Wait. You dyed it black?
When? Just recently? Yeah. Just recently. Nuh-uh.
I mean, it was like No. I know. It's all gone through. Like, last week, you were at the at the your hairstylist. So I know that you I know.
You paid that. Well, it's also I see you a lot every day. So it's not it's not like I all of a sudden go, wait a minute. Something's different two years ago. I was looking at some hair some pictures the other day looking at hair, and I went and I just wanna say thank you, Josh, for sticking with me through some of the some bad haircuts and some bad colors.
Oh, some of the color jobs and some of the haircuts were not so great. And you, you stood by my side. Because it you were going through it, and it doesn't matter. I don't know. I it's just hair.
I don't really have that. I'm a bald guy, so do what you want. Yeah. But you've always been bald since I've met you, so that hasn't changed. My point is I don't really give a lot of thought to hair.
Okay. Like, I I shave my head. I go get barbered a couple times a year because it's a nice treat. But but that's really it. Like, I don't I don't have a bunch of hair product.
I don't If I had met you and you had a full head of, like, luscious locks, and I was like, oh, I just love your hair. I love it so much. And then a year later, you woke up and you were like, yeah. My hair's, like, falling out. I'm gonna be bald.
You think I would've stuck around? No. What? Yes. I would have.
What are you talking about? You really care about hair. Like, no. I'm not gonna be seen with a bald guy. You wear a hat all day anyway, every day.
So because it's bald under there. I know. It's fine. And it's funny because some days I'll be, like, in the zone, and I'll take my hat off and lay it on the counter. And people will walk in, and they'll be like, woah.
I've never seen you without a hat on. And I'm like, yeah. It's bald under there. Sorry. Don't apologize.
Well, they're grossed out. They're not grossed out. They they turn sick like they're on a shaky boat. I don't know why you get so upset about your bald head. It's not people aren't grossed out.
I'm gonna go ask anyone right now. Are you grossed out by Josh's bald head? They'll be like, what? No. They're just get a bunch of, like, yeah, kind of.
No. No one's gonna be grossed out. Josh, what? We gotta talk about this. I like your bald heads.
So does everybody else. Aw. Somebody call and tell me what they like bald heads. Shoulder pads are back. Are you excited about that?
No. If there's anything I know about you, it's that you love a good shoulder pad. There was just a big story about it, and Vogue recently covered the trend. In the eighties, apparently, this was a popular look for women. Of course, it was.
I've I my mom used to have jackets and dresses and Yeah. They put them in every shoulder pad. Yeah. But it was for women who wanted to seem hip and metropolitan. Oh.
And then people quickly decided they were dumb, and they went away. They're all over runways now again. Suits, blazers, blouses, everything with big shoulder pads. Here's what I liked about shoulder pads. I'll tell you.
My mom used to have them, like I said, in everything, and she would cut them out Yeah. Because she hated that something. That was the thing. Everybody just got rid of them. Why would you want your shoulders to look bigger?
But I loved them because when she cut them out, she gave them to me because she knew I liked them for my Barbies. I used them for pillows. I used them for Interesting. Beds. I used them for couches.
Oh, man. Oh, man. I had shoulder pads in my Barbie collection for days. It was awesome. Do you want some now?
No. I don't have any Barbies now. I but you could still have those cool shoulder pads. I could, but I don't could use them for the dog, for Luna. For what?
Pillows and little Frisbee toys to throw and have her go get. No. I'm okay. She'd shake them like she does? If I find something that I really like clothing wise, and I'm like, this is cute.
I'm gonna have this, and it has shoulder pads in it Yeah. You can bet I'm gonna cut that out. I'm not keeping that in. You don't want that look? Nope.
No. I don't. Okay. It's it's strong. Maybe you could double them up.
You could cut them out of one and put a two into one and really Line backer it up. That's it. Yeah. Get those football pad look. Yeah.
Yeah. Now you're getting it. Or you could just take them and run them down your arm. So they'll just pat it all down your arm. Fight me.
Yeah. You can fend off attack dogs. Yeah. Like, didn't Splinter used to have Splinter from Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles? He kinda had, like, an arm covering, didn't he?
A sleeves? Yeah. With some armor on him? Sure. Yeah?
Yeah. Go ahead. Punch. Go ahead. Punch.
I like your attitude about them. I like that you wanna build a soft armor. Cushion. It's To protect my cushion. Donk.
Donk. Like, oh, can't faze me. I've got armor made of shoulder pads. That's made of padding. Yeah.
And it's not very thick. No. It's not. So you're gonna have to layer them up. It's gonna take a while.
And how bulky do you wanna be? Depends. On? What do I On the what? What do I need protection from?
This is also a bit of a style choice. So that's why I really wanna know how bulky do you wanna be style wise? You wanna be, like, full on padded suit, or are you just trying to look a little thicker? I don't I don't want to look a little thicker at all. Okay.
I was just looking at some fashion, like, trends that are happening with these shoulder pads, and they are it's not like what my mom used to have at all. Okay. It is like they're coming out further. So they're linebacker y. Yeah.
Are you looking at some? I mean, I'm looking at, like, what's I'm just looking at an image search for shoulder pad fashion 2025, and it's a little odd looking. It's odd. Don't do that. I mean, it it's like a it's like an exaggerated caricature of what the shoulder pads looked like in the eighties.
Yep. Fashion. It'll never make sense to me. Also on fashion, I heard that Dolly Parton is making a jean. And Dolly Parton jeans?
Yeah. She's calling it the Jolene jean. Hold on. The Jolene jean. The Jo Jo jeans?
No. It's called the Jolene's is what she's calling them. See it. Jolene's jeans. Told you.
You didn't believe me. Look. What do you think about them? She says they're gonna make any rear end look good. Is that right?
She said If Dolly says it, you know it's true. Got a good one, they look great. If you just got an okay one, they still look great. Okay. That's that's how you sell pants.
It's a good selling point. That is how you sell pants. Dolly knows. Interesting. They are the highest waisted pants I've ever seen.
The Jolene? The Jolene jeans. Jolene jean. Yep. Limited edition Jolene's.
Bad. They're kind of flare bottomed. They're very, very high waisted. Well and They'll look great with your shoulder pads. I know.
I'm gonna be so trendy. You just wait. And your Jolene's? Yeah. My Jolene's and my shoulder pads.
You just wait. I'm waiting. You are going into the dentist today for a wisdom teeth stitch removal. Yeah. Follow-up.
Yeah. How exciting. How do you feel it's gone? Well, it's been a week. Literally, it's been one week since I, had them removed, and I think things are okay.
Yeah. I'm just amazed that you haven't had you haven't taken very much pain medication. You've been a real champ. Don't go telling everybody. It's been it's been, pretty decent.
I'm excited to see how things are healing, and, and hopefully all is well. And and they go, cool. Good to see you. Thanks for coming in. Have a great day.
Here's my question. When you go to the dentist and you're laying there and everybody's working in your mouth, do you keep your eyes open, or do you shut your eyes? Stare right into my hygienic eyes the whole time. No. I I'm I'm they give you those cool glasses.
Uh-huh. Well, not always. Mind you if they're using that lamp above me, which is every time. So they go, you want the glasses? And I'm like, no.
I'll just keep my eyes shut. I'm good. So, I'm an ice cold guy. Kinda. My dentist, we don't go to the same dentist, has a TV.
And so sometimes I get involved in the show. It's usually a home improvement show. Mhmm. And sometimes I get mad because I'm involved in the show forgetting that they're working on my teeth. Yeah.
And then the dentist gets his arm in the way, and I'm like, I can't see the fireplace that they're working on. Could you move? That's great. You little HGTV? Yeah.
I don't have TVs in the ceiling. I just have conversation. And Conversation with your mouth wide open? Uh-huh. How's that go?
Very good. About like that. I kinda like the dentist because it's the one place where you don't feel like you have to make small talk. And, like, I can't. How am I gonna respond to your questions?
You can't. You nod? Mhmm. Mm-mm. Don't talk to me.
I won't talk to you. Like, let's let's just get the procedure done. Yeah. I I don't know. I think it's out the way so I can watch that fireplace run.
Lot easier for me to just have eyes closed, especially because, like, I don't like to see all the tools and implements and things that they've got. I just would I just don't wanna know what it looks like. I don't mind it. I don't wanna know anything about it. You hate the dentist.
Yeah. I like the dentist. Yeah. I just would rather not be there. But I gotta be there.
You gotta be there. Gotta go. Gotta get those stitches out. So yeah. But we'll see.
Hopefully, it's all good. Hopefully, they're like, yeah. Cool. You're looking great. Healing up perfect.
You did take a sip through a straw yesterday. No. I know I was there. They're gonna know. They're gonna go we we can tell you No.
I'm actually nervous because you had a drink in the car, and then you left the car for a minute. And then I happened to look over at your cup, and I was like, he's drank some of that soda from a straw. No. You're gonna get dry socket. I was worried for you.
I appreciate it. But I don't know. Like, now that it's been a week, I don't know if there's, like this happens in the first couple days. I think it happens. When?
Whenever you've got until those holes are healed. I think it can happen until they're healed over. But that's like, there's gotta be a certain point in the in the healing process where you're in the clear. It's a pretty, the research I've done is that it's a pretty, consistent healing timeline. Okay.
And, and by, like, ten days, you're pretty much back to normal. Alright. Dry socket pain usually begins two to three days after a new extraction and can last up to seven days. But it will heal on its own within seven to ten days. That's where I'm at.
That's what I'm saying. I think I'm real close to being in the clear Okay. Of, like, healed, which is good. I still can feel stuff in there, as far as my mouth is concerned. But You're most likely to get dry socket within the first three to five days after the extraction.
If you haven't developed it by day five, you're probably in the clear. That's what I'm saying. Alright. I'm sorry for being concerned for your mouth pain. It's fine you were concerned.
Just don't be overly concerned. I'll be okay. And I'm getting stitches out, so hooray. K. Close your eyes.
Take a nap. Okay. Sounds good. Thank you for the permission. I would like to do that.
Keep your mouth open, though. Yeah. What if you just made that noise the whole time? That noise makes me wanna yawn. I don't care for that.
I don't like that. Okay. Good luck at the dentist, bud. Thanks, pal. Josh, you are given $5,000 to spend in an outdoor store.
This includes hiking. This includes fishing. This includes camping. But you have to pick one other person to do your shopping. Oh.
What person are you picking? Seriously? Seriously. I won't be offended if you don't save me. It's not a trap.
I promise. I don't think it would be you. It's not gonna be you. Because I don't think you know the gear. I don't.
I've got two people in mind. Okay. And it's gonna depend on three. I've got three people in mind. Okay.
So it's either gonna be Jen or Zane. Okay. Those two I camp with a lot. Yeah. And they're gonna know the gear I have, and and I know they look at gear.
And I know that, Jen looks specifically at the same kind of gear that I look at, so she she kind of is leaning a little bit harder than Zane at the moment. Okay. But if it's straight up fishing, I'm I'm gonna have to lean on Chris, I think. Because I think he would be able to go, okay. Here's what you have, but here's what you need.
Gotcha. And, also, $5, he would be able to buy good high end gear that's gonna last me forever. And I think he'd be able to make a good decision. So those are probably the three people I would pick based on camping, hiking, backpacking. It'd be a Gen Zane combo, fishing and Jen would also be good for your fishing, though, too, because she has also got So would Zane for that matter, but he's also he doesn't do a lot of fly fishing.
So Uh-huh. And neither does Jen. So, yeah, it's that's gotta be that's gotta fall into somebody else's hands. But camping, hiking, backpacking, I I would trust either of them to make good decisions. And they know what gear I have and what what I like and Interesting.
Through enough conversation. Okay. Yeah. That's a nice compliment to them. I think thousand dollars in an outdoor store, though.
Can I please? Yeah. I know. That would be nice. I'm glad you didn't pick me because I if you had picked me, if this were true and you were like, yeah.
I've got $5,000, but you gotta shop for me. I'd be like, oh, that would be so stressful. Because you would feel like, I don't know what I'm buying. I don't know what the gear is. I don't know what he'd already had.
Talked about all of this stuff, but he talks about it so much that I stopped listening. See? That's why you gotta find somebody who's already in that lane Yes. And go, here's here's what I know, and here's the money and go nuts. Yeah.
Yeah. I would pass it off to somebody else. I'd be curious to see what they bought. Like, fishing wise, I know I'd be in good hands. I know I would be like, holy cow.
I got a nice setup. Uh-huh. Like, I would have a one like, a a plus $1,000 rod, which I don't own right now. But I know I would like, I'd have a Helios. Okay.
It would be a thing. But I don't know what real forget. Yeah. Okay. Sure.
But I don't know what the real would be. I don't know all the other gear that would be with it. So that'd be really interesting. Okay. But I definitely would have that Helios.
If I had $5,000 spent in a craft store, who do you think I'm picking? Your sister. Yeah. Absolutely. But is she gonna pick what you I was just want or what she likes?
I was just thinking that because we do have different tastes that I'm saying. Is she gonna pick what you want and like? I'm gonna say I'm gonna say to her, I'm gonna pick you, but you can only buy me notions and gear. Don't $5,000 worth of thread? No.
Just Here's your dumpster thread. Other stuff too. She could pick me up a nice sewing machine, but don't necessarily pick like that. No. We we share similar tastes in fabric sometimes.
She might pick some things that I'd be like, oh, not my taste. Thanks. She probably would just pick it so that she could keep it. That's what she'd do. She'd be like, I knew you wouldn't like it, so I could have it.
Here's a box. Anything you don't want that I picked out, just put it in here, and I'll take it. I'll take it back. I'll return it for you. No.
And then you go to her house, and it's in her bathroom. Yeah. That you know? I thought you were taking that back. Yeah.
Well, I didn't. Good question, though. Thank you. Mhmm. Would you rather this or that?
Would you rather speak as if you're always out of breath I feel like I do that anyway. Or at half the normal speed. Oh, no one could handle that. Oh, that would be terrible, wouldn't it? Yeah.
Yeah. Wouldn't that be terrible? See, you just took bigger pauses. You didn't slow down the word Oh, I see. As well.
There's a difference. That would be awful. The slow words? The slow words. The actual, like, half speed speaking would be heard to listen to every day.
Ew. You know, like, dude, pick it up the pick up the pace. I've got places to be. Things to do. I can't Or you just speak like you just can't even handle it.
You gotta talk so fast that Well, you didn't say it was talking fast. You said, like, you were always out of I gotta take a break and try to catch my breath. I assume it's just so fast that you can't catch breath. Like the Micro Machines guy. Oh, the Micro Machines guy was so cool.
Right. He was just fast. It'd be freaky fast like Jimmy John. Was like, I just finished a big jog, and now I I'm trying I got something to tell you. Hold on.
Like, that's what out of breath is to me. Oh. Or We took that in two different capacities. Half the speed. No.
No. No. No. I'm not doing half the speed. You listen to the show.
I'm doing I'm doing out of breath. I can't I can't. Are you picking it out of breath for me because you can't stand listening to it when it's half speed? Is that what's happening? I'm doing it for heard you do half speed yet.
Half I did half speed. No. You did the long breaks. I don't know if I know how to do the You draw out the words. Yeah.
Yeah. No. I'm doing always out of breath for either me talking or listening to somebody else. It doesn't matter. I can't handle the slow.
Okay. I can't. I can't do it. Would you rather this to that? So yesterday, I told you the new Nintendo Switch is coming out Yes.
In June. Yes. And, that got a lot of people excited. A lot of people looking to preorder. A lot of people, are talking about it, and wanna get the new Mario Kart game.
Here's the other thing people are talking about. And a lot of people are pretty upset. Because it's expensive. Not necessarily. The console itself is in the right price range.
The problem is that they wanna charge more for the games. How much is it to buy a video game right now? Brand new video game that comes in. I don't know. It's been a while since I bought it.
$60. I think $60. Yeah. $60. And it's a little bit up there, but it's been $60 for a long time.
Well, Nintendo, with the release of the new console, wants to charge $80 What? For a game. Why? And Nintendo, correct me if I'm wrong, but they've always kind of flouted that they were, like, the Family friendly board of Yeah. Yeah.
Yeah. Of the consoles. And I don't know what the play is here. Because the other part is that, like, if you buy the Mario Kart bundle, you're paying an additional $50, but it's a digital download. You don't have a physical game.
It's just downloaded to your console with a code. Mhmm. So so I'm just curious if they really think that $80 for a digital download of a game this is base game. This isn't with a bunch of add ons, a bunch of extra stuff. This is base game $80.
I just don't like it. I don't like it. I don't like it either. I don't like the precedent that it sets for everything rolling forward because I agree with you. I think what happens is that this is a slippery slope where they've been at 60, and I'm and I just like, I don't know what it costs to develop a game, but I know that Nintendo Switch two and Mario Kart and all of the other games are going to sell a ton of them.
They're they're going to sell a ton of them. So it feels a little money grabby to go, we're gonna charge you an extra $20 for a game now. And what does that do to the future of gaming for PlayStation and Xbox and everybody else? Because they're all gonna do it. They're all gonna do it.
And there are some big, big, big games that are coming out later this year that if Nintendo gets away with hiking it up to 80, these other companies are gonna go, people want this game bad enough, they'll pay a hundred dollars. Of course, over. Yeah. We'll charge them a hundred dollars for this game. And and that's, that's what I don't want to see happen.
I really don't wanna see it. And it's a digital download. It's not costing them anything for manufacturing of cases and cartridges and shipping and any of that stuff. It's a digital download of that game. It's a copy of that game stored onto your console digitally, and they wanna charge more money for that than a physical copy of games historically.
I'm just not a fan. Sounds like it. I just I found that out yesterday, and I talked to some people, and I've seen a bunch of stuff on the Internet today. People are upset about $80. I am upset about 80.
Yeah. It should not cost. Well, Nintendo, come on. You said you were the most affordable of the consoles, and you're not doing that. You're not playing that affordable game.
Knock it off, Nintendo. You've got money. It's not like you're not making money. Or, you know, I mean, who are they trying to line here? What are what's the plan, like, ultimately?
And I don't know the answer to that. Like, are they just are they actually hurting for money because it's been so many years since they've done a new console that they're just trying to be like, hey. We're gonna do this. We're gonna bump everything up. Watch.
Here we go. Because everybody else is gonna go higher than us, and then we're still in the affordable lane Because Nintendo and Microsoft will go or excuse me, Sony and Microsoft will go to a hundred if Nintendo goes to 80. If Nintendo gets away with 80, they will go to a hundred. I guarantee it. And I don't want that to happen.
There are some awesome games I wanna play, and I do not wanna pay a hundred dollars for them. Me neither. Anyway, that's gonna wrap up the show on a cool note. Have a great rest of your Thursday tomorrow morning. It's Friday.
