Full show transcript:
I don't like starting to show off disappointed, but here's my disappointment. Oh, no. What? There's a new trend, and people are putting flower bouquets, fresh flower bouquets in their toilet tank. So they're getting rid of a lid Okay.
And putting flowers in there. I saw this last week, I think. And I was gonna talk about it. I just saw it on Instagram. No.
I'm not gonna talk about this because, one, I think it's dumb, and, two, I think it's just somebody doing it to get reactions and likes. I totally agree. And, so I'm not gonna give it any more attention. Okay. But the but the comments are good.
Yeah. Of course, they got comments. Someone said, okay. Real cool. Martha Sewer.
Nice. See Sewer because of the toilet. Martha Sewer. How does that I don't understand. Because there she's making the bouquet in her toilet.
Oh, I get it now. Thanks for explaining. What? I knew that joke. Why did you make it seem like you didn't Thanks.
For so long? Because I wanted you to feel uncomfortable. Oh, I didn't. I just thought I'd keep explaining it. Stupid.
Martha Sewer. Somebody, also said, I'm a floral designer and my husband is a plumber, and we both say no to this. This is a bad idea. It is a bad idea, and it's stupid. Like, she dumped in the plant food and everything.
This is terrible. No. She's just doing it for likes, and, obviously, she got them because people are commenting. They don't care if they get almost 38,000 likes. Of course, she did.
Yeah? Ew. It's so dumb. And this video was posted May 24. So over the past almost month, this has been going on.
And I guess if you had, like, a guest room, like, a a guest room with its own bathroom, maybe that'd be okay. No. It's dumb. But I still think you should still just do a bouquet of flowers and set it there. Just do a planter on top of it.
Yeah. What happened to a basket of potpourri? Yeah. Yeah. Or a basket of all of the soaps and shampoos you've gotten from hotels?
Yeah. Just do that. Yeah. You wanna start the show? Sure do.
Alright. Let's go. How are your legs feeling? Why? Well, they were, they were walking a couple of miles last night.
Yeah. I got, like, 13,000 steps yesterday. That's a pretty good day. It's a pretty good day. Right?
That's a pretty good day. I know. I got close to that. I got just over, I got just under that. Just under 13,000.
I think twelve six, something like that. Shame. You got over 13? Yeah. Woah.
Oh, I know it. I know it. Where you been walking? I've been just walking. Just walking around.
Yeah? Just aimlessly? You're just like, I'll just go get some steps in, I guess. Well, I had some time yesterday, so I took a little morning walk. Okay.
And then I walked in the afternoon, and then I we walked last night. Just been walk I've just been walking around. That's nice. I like it. Walking is good for you.
Walking is good for you. It's kind of one of the lowest impact kind of, activities you can do that's beneficial for your, body and your heart and stuff. True. And you're doing it. I'm I'm doing it.
You're dragging me along, and you're doing it. When Beck learned how to ride his bike Yeah. He shouted, I'm doing it. I'm doing it. That's right.
So whenever you do feel. Yeah. I'm doing it. Yeah. You get it.
How many steps do you have so far today? So far today? Yeah. 245. How?
I have a 177. Oh, I've been walking around. Just around? Twelve thousand three zero three. That's what I ended up with yesterday.
Yesterday? Mhmm. It's pretty decent. That is pretty decent. I felt pretty good about you were driving in a car most of the time.
No kidding. Oh, I'm sorry. Excuse me. 14,065. Woah.
Come on. And I wasn't cheating either. You know how some people will cheat on their step count? No. Like, by swinging their arm around or whatever?
Yeah. You're authentic on it? Yep. I went hiking on Monday and got fewer steps on Monday. I got 11,900.
I think I got 12,300 yesterday, and I spent more time in a car. I must've oh, you know what I did? What? I mowed a lawn. Yeah.
I made up for it. That's what happened. I was like, where did I get all these steps? That's where. Walking around the grass.
Walking around. I've been walking around. Good morning. So imagine, for a minute, you're on vacation in Florida, and you're on the beach, and, you're walking around as you do, just walking around. Yeah.
And you spot something that looks like kinda like trash bobbing in the water, and you go and check it out. And it turns out that it's a bottle with a message in it that has traveled a very, very, very long way. Would you be excited? Yes. Let me tell you about 11 year old Josie Law.
She is from Michigan on vacation in Anna Maria Island in Florida when that's exactly what happened. The bottle and the message inside, dated 2018, began with a note that said, hello, people who found this. You will be happy that you found this. And the message also contained a phone number. So it ended up, being a little bit of an unexpected, vacation adventure.
Josie and her mom texted the number on the note. And they got a reply from a 21 year old woman in Hawaii who had written it with her little brother seven years ago. Threw it out in the ocean. From Hawaii to Florida, here's the route that bottle had to take. A meteorologist went, alright.
Let's look at the tides. Let's look at the wind patterns. Let's figure out the route. If the meteorologist is correct, the journey had the bottle going north out of Hawaii, then around the island, down the West Coast to The United States, through The Philippines, then South America, up along the West Coast Of Africa, through the Caribbean, by The Bahamas, and then eventually to Florida. And that that only took seven years?
It took it took seven years for that bottle to travel that time. Longer voyage than seven years for that bottle. I don't understand it all. The meteorologist figured that. Is it doable?
He said it is surprising, but technically possible because of ocean currents and wind and different things like that. Okay. And that would make it possible for that bottle to have found its way all the way to Florida in seven years. Seven years. How old would that 21 year old have been when she wrote it 14?
Yeah. And she still has the same phone number? Well, it could have been, I guess. Yeah. It would appear that that is true.
They texted back. Yeah. Fascinating. Yeah. I mean, I still have the same phone number I've had for a long time.
That's true. But okay. Fair. I mean, I've had the same phone number I guess probably twenty years. When we when cell phones were new, it felt like you were every time you got a new phone, you had to get a new phone number.
I see what you're saying. You're right. Like, we haven't changed our phone numbers in a long time because even when you get a new cell phone, you keep the same phone number. Right. But when cell phones were new back in the day Well, let me tell you, kids.
We had to walk uphill both ways just to get a minute on her cell phone. Minutes. Well, that's a fun story. Really kinda cool. And You'll be glad that you found this bottle.
What was I don't know. I wanna know if there was more to that story. Like, you'll you'll be happy you found this bottle. Hello, people who found this. You'll be happy that you, found it.
Why? Tell me the phone number. There's a little bit more on the note, but I can't quite read it. Oh, here it is. You'll be happy that you found this.
What does this say? And then you will know me. My my my number is I then left the phone number. I don't oh, and then it has the date. It says, 08/1738.
So, anyway Okay. Yeah. I hope he was happy. I hope found it. Yeah.
Yeah. Way to go. Good job. Are you happy? It's like a fortune cookie.
You know? You'll be happy you found this. It's good news to get you going. We got out of the truck last night, and you said, oh, hold on. And I happened to look over, and there was blood gushing from your leg.
Not gushing. Alright. Slow down. You slow down. It it What did I say?
I a gushing is Gushing is strong. The and it wasn't gushing. It wasn't gushing. No. That's the wrong term.
No. My legs have been scratched up, from all of the outdoor activities that I've been doing lately between hiking and Yeah. Nice. Whatever. Yeah.
So I'm a little beat up on the on the legs. Thank you. And my shins go through it every year. They just get scratched up and scarred up, and and they get I don't know. I run my shins into stuff or stuff runs into my shins.
I get a I catch a bike pedal. Whatever it is, they get pretty beat up. And, yesterday, as we were driving, I had a a leg itch, and I reached down, and I itched it. And then when I went to get out of the truck But life realized there was blood dripping down my leg. Yeah.
Because where I had itched it, apparently, I had I had scratched away, some healing. And so, yeah, it it I had to grab a napkin. Shin injuries are the ranked pain. Oh, for sure. Have you ever smacked your shin on the ball hitch on the back of a truck?
Uh-uh. Oh, man. I mean, there's hardly any it's thin right there. It hurts. That's a bad one.
Childbearing is number one. That's the worst pain, they say. Worst pain. And then stepping on a thing that shouldn't be there when it's dark. I think.
Yeah. You're just trying to get worst pain. I've I've never felt that, but I've felt bad pain anyway. Yeah. I was trying to get a rise out of you.
Yeah. You ever smacked your shin on a ball hitch on the back of the truck? That's a bad day. Alright. So, sorry.
Delivery is number one. They said this is what this article I'm reading. I might disagree a little bit. Yeah. Childbearing.
K. Stepping on something that shouldn't be there in the dark. Yeah. That's never good. A LEGO.
Yeah. You're talking about pain. A barrette. Oh. Especially if it goes into your skin.
Yeah. My mom What if you what if you just step on that, the the thing that was the result of the noise the cat made? Oh, gross. That's not pain. Pain.
But that's something you don't wanna step on in the dark. Sometimes you know how you have intrusive thoughts sometimes? Sometimes I'll take off my belt at night. Yeah. You talk about that.
And then I I constantly am worried, and then I have visuals of getting out of bed metal thing. Stepping on that in the dark. Right. And then I go, oh, I have to put that belt away. Oh.
That's good that your body protecting you. I know. I don't have a belt with one of those things. No. You don't.
Let me Mine mine is, what's I can't even think what it's called. Anyway, it clicks a whole bunch of ratchet? Yeah. It's kind of a ratchetty belt. And then the one is shin pain.
That's the painful thing. It hurts when you smack your shin on stuff. It hurts so bad. Yeah. It does.
Yeah. It it does. It does. Sorry about your shin pain, bud. I would say I mean, when a sport that requires you to use your legs for kicking and stuff specifically puts together a guard for that part of your body.
Something that covers your entire leg. You know that that the shins hurt. They do. on the list. Checks out.
I've I've smacked my shin on stuff. It's not How's it doing now? Did you stop the bleeding? Oh, yeah. I was ready to put a tourniquet on.
For what? It says stop the bleeding. Oh, no. It'll be fine. I can pack it.
No. I took stop the bleed training. I know what to do. I don't need all that. Stuff it.
I have a tiny little scratch that I scratched at, and it and it bled a little bit. It's okay. Whining about it then. I didn't whine once. What?
Hey. Are you there? I'm here. Okay. Yesterday, Emery was I was talking to her in the kitchen.
We were just hanging out in the kitchen, and she grabbed the on the counter, there's an open box of baking soda There's not much in it. With scrub brush. Yeah. And she was kind of touching the scrub brush. No way.
She was looking at it. No. She wasn't. She was just, like, absently touching it while she was talking to me, and I wasn't even paying attention. Oh, this is fantastic.
This is great. She finally eventually goes, what is this? I go, what? I go, oh, that is the brush and tools that dad has been using to scrub his fishing waders. Those are yeah.
That's, that's what I use to try and help them not stink and deodorize them and stuff. How'd she react to that? Because I bet it was pretty awesome when she went Yep. She threw it down immediately and said, what? And then ran the water.
You didn't say anything. I go, I didn't even realize you were touching it. She was horrified. Disgusting. Yeah.
Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. As anyone should be.
Because your waders stink. Well, yeah. I don't know. Like fishing waders. They smell like river water.
Yeah. And you You got you got a little dry out, and you gotta, yeah, you gotta clean them. And so I yeah. That's fun. Yeah.
It is fun. What's real fun is that you just keep that on the kitchen counter. Here's here's the great part. I wasn't done with it, but that's fine. That's why I wasn't put away yet.
That was weeks and weeks. It's not I'm not done yet. I haven't You never ever ever get to say anything about the vacuum then. Yeah. I do.
Ever. Yeah. I do. Mm-mm. How big is the vacuum and how big is my tiny baking soda bra?
Baking soda waiter concoction. How big of a tripping hazard is the vacuum? How germopho file field germ field there it is. Is your weight fresh? Whatever.
What were you gonna say? You were gonna say something else. I don't even remember. Oh, I can't wait to ask her about it. Like, I'm really excited, because I might even just go, like, do your hands smell like waiter?
Oh, the fun. Oh, the fun. What a dumb name, waiter. Waiters? Yeah.
You should call them your Darth Waiters. That's the hoodie the hoodie I have with, with Darth Vader fly fishing and his Darth Waiters. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah.
Yeah. That that was my idea. I thought I was clever for coming up with that idea. You know? Yeah.
It's a weird name. Waiters. I gotta get my waiter. Smell like death waiters. You should call them never mind.
That wasn't a good idea. Alright. Okay. Alright. That one in sight.
That's fine. I I really am excited to talk to her about it because I bet she was so upset and disgusted. Yeah. If she had known initially that that was for your waiters, she wouldn't told me to get it out of the house. Yep.
She wouldn't have even gotten close. Is hilarious. That's so funny. Awesome. Awesome.
Yeah. I'm pretty stoked about that. That's a good story. Maybe you should clean up your fishing waiter cleaning stuff. It was it was fine.
I wasn't done with it. Same as these with the vacuum. No. Totally different. No.
You don't get to complain ever again. Yeah. I do. And I will. I know you will.
Because it's a fire hazard. So are your oh, whatever. My tiny brush is a fire hazard? Oh, no. Flammable.
No. It's not. I mean, it's made of plastic. So yeah. Sure.
Flammable. Yeah. If you're gonna sit there and light it on fire, but it's no. I'm talking about the fact that the vacuum is such an obstruction to get in and out of the hallway. We don't have a lot of room in the hallway.
I always tuck it in the corner nicely. It's never in the way. Always is a loose term. I sometimes put it in the corner. It's sometimes out of the way.
Never. It ends up there when I'm like, can we move this thing out of the hallway? That's when it ends up in the corner. Sometimes. Alright.
Well, good. I'm glad she got to know, my my cleaning supplies. That's great. I'm happy about that. She is too.
I bet not. Back when our kids were little, I used to sing to them. And I would sing the standards, you are my sunshine, and Oh, I thought you meant the band, the standards. No. I don't even know that band.
Itsy Bitsy Spider, I would sing those. And then I would sing Bushel in a Peck. You know that one? Yes. And then hug around your neck and all that.
Yeah. I used to sing a song, and Emery was talking to me about this yesterday because I was like, do you remember the songs that I used to sing to you? And she said no. The only one she could remember was You Are My Sunshine. Okay.
So then I was like, well, I gotta sing these songs. She did not remember remember Pushil and a Peck, which makes me really sad. But what makes me the most sad is that she certainly did not remember Pokey Bear. Oh, you loved Pokey Bear. Yeah.
Yep. She didn't even let me get through the whole song. Pokey Bear, Pokey Bear, why are you so slow? And then she went, that's enough. I don't know.
And then she went, no. Stop. That makes me sad. Yeah. She used to remember Pokey Bear.
I don't even know where Pokey Bear came from. Uh-huh. But a lot of people that I talk to have never heard that song, which is shocking to me because my mom used to sing that song every day, all day, no matter the time of day. Pokey Bear was always in her brain. That checks out.
She might have made it up. She might have made it up. I don't think she did, though. It has two verses. I mean, I'm trying to find Pokey Bear, and I'm getting, like, Hokey Pokey.
No. It's not the Hokey Pokey. Teddy Bear Hokey Pokey. It's not that. There's a rapper named Pokey Bear.
No. It's certainly not that. I really I don't see What? Maybe she did make it up. Poke bear, why are you so slow?
I found it. You gotta look it up. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah.
You gotta add that part. Yeah. I see it. Does it have actions? Oh, boy.
Saying it with actions before. The Internet. I see one video. Yeah. There's only the one.
I wonder if she gets all the words right. I don't know. I'm gonna have to watch this with sound later. Yeah. Okay.
And learn the actions, and then I'm gonna sing it with the kids. Oh, they're gonna love that. Why wouldn't they like it? It's Pokey Bear. You got told to stop when you weren't doing actions.
And now you're gonna add that to it? They're gonna be like, no, mom. I'm gonna check out. See you. I like And then you'll be standing in the Slow.
In the kitchen singing Pokey Bear by yourself feeling It's okay. Completely sad. No. I won't be sad because I'll be singing Pokey Bear. Mhmm.
Try to run. Try to run. Here we go. It is jolly fun. No.
I know. I know the song. No. No. Right.
Did you ever sing songs to our kids? I don't think I did You did it. Back. I did, with Emery, because I would read to her and stuff, and then, I can't remember the song. It was one of those, like, when you wish upon a star kind of things.
Oh. Yeah. Nice. Yeah. I don't remember that.
Yeah. Oh. But It's nice. It was years ago. I know.
It's sad, isn't it? That they don't even remember. Yeah. Well, so that's the way it goes. All those years saying to you, you don't even remember.
Waste It means, it means something because, it turns them into good people, I think. But not even a core memory was formed. Okay. Ask her what she does remember. What do you remember about being two?
Okay. I will. What do you Me? Remember about being two? Nothing.
Oh, no core memories from your parents. They just left you sitting in the grass all day long. I remember Poke Bear. Yeah. I I hear that.
I hear you remember Poke Bear. Me to sing it again? I'm okay. If you know Poke Bear, raise your hand. High five.
It's just you. No. It isn't. I, I have been tasked with, taking care of my dad's lawn while he's out of town. Mhmm.
And, yesterday, I went over and I mowed. Here's here's the story. He's got, like, all kinds of different security cameras and home automation stuff set up. He's he's been into gadgets for as long as I can remember. And so this is a natural progression, that he would have some home automation and stuff.
And so I get over there. I go in, you know, the way he told me. He gave me codes to all this stuff that I have to do, and I get in there. And then I have a a little instruction sheet that he's left on the the counter for me. And To mow the lawn?
Not to mow the lawn, but they have I have, quite a few houseplants as well. So I'm watering plants. I'm, and and they're very specific about how much water goes in the plants and stuff. And so, there's little, blue tape on the plants for how much water goes in each one and then clearly marked out, pictures that say, like, this much for the whatever. Like, it's very, very specific.
It's very well maintained, organized system. As I'm filling up the picture, I hear, hey, Josh. And I'm like, what is happening right now? Creepy. I know.
Talking to me through cameras and stuff. So that was kind of fun. But, you know, so I'm having this whole conversation as I'm watering plants and everything. I'm like, alright. I'm done watering the plants.
I'm gonna go outside and mow now. Talk to you later. And so I finish everything up, inside, and then I go and I and, he's got nice grass. Yeah. He's got a nice lawn.
It's not it's not large. I mean, the whole the whole process of mowing and watering everything took me about an hour, which was no big deal. But it it's it's a nice he's got nice grass. And I know you've talked about how much yeah. Yeah.
I knew you'd, you'd like to hear that. He also has the sprinkler system, and I think that's what makes the big difference. I think that makes a huge difference for sure, but I also right now, we've neglected our yard for years and years and years. And right now, it's just a mix of thistle and dandelions Yeah. And, milkweed and crabgrass.
Yeah. I don't think there's actual grass in our backyard right now. I was taking a walk through the backyard last night going I know. This isn't it. I know.
I totally agree. The the only way to fix that is to completely start from scratch. I know. Like, you gotta you gotta strip it down to nothing. You gotta get sawed.
Start over. I know. And that sounds like a lot of work. Sounds like a lot of work and a lot of money. I bet it's not cheap.
I mean, we don't have a huge yard. And we're talking about getting rid of some of the yard anyway by Right. Doing more garden space. Right. And more, yeah, more stuff like that.
Yeah. So if we take up another section of the yard for more garden space Mhmm. Then it wouldn't be so it would be much more cost effective to put in the sod in the ground. I see. I get what you're saying.
I just want a nice little patch of grass. Right. I don't need a huge patch of grass. What do you wanna just a little patch of grass for? Just to put your feet in it.
Uh-huh. So what if the front yard was nice grass and the backyard was, more like, like your friend in Utah, more like his yard? They have turf. Right. They've added turf, where they where they had grass, but you don't have to mow turf.
His backyard is a beautiful what I'm saying. If it was more about landscape and, and, you know, native plants and those kinds of things. It was less about grass. And I wouldn't have to mow the backyard. I don't mind that.
I don't mind that. You'd have somewhere for the dog to be, though. Oh, dogs. Anyway, I was very envious of his grass as I was mowing it. It mows really well.
It the lines show up really nice. I was like, man, what's it like having nice grass? It was it was easy to mow. Like, it it and he's very, very, like, I mow the same day every week. And so, you know, he's talking to me through the camera and stuff.
And he's like, hey. If you don't, if it doesn't look like it needs mowed, don't worry about it. And I'm like, I'm mowing this grass. This grass looks great. And it it needed it.
There were some spots. But but it, you know, it doesn't grow like our grass will go from, like, a dirt patch to, like, you know, knee high. Like, it's very inconsistent, the way the grass grows, especially in the backyard. The front yard's a little bit more consistent, but the backyard's all over the place. And so his is all pretty pretty good.
It's pretty good. I shoulda had you with me so you could just walk in nice grass. No. Because then I would have gotten real jealous. I know.
I don't wanna be jealous. He's got a he's got a good lawn, and it's been mowed now. So it's all good. And so when he gets back in town, he's got that nice grass. Aw.
Yeah. Oh, nice grass. All I have is crabgrass. Yeah. Nice.
Nice crabgrass and and, sumac sprouts. Yeah. Yeah. And whatever that vine is Dog droppings. Oh.
Dogs. I'm sorry. Do you remember the children's game Red Rover? Yeah. Yeah.
Where everybody's in a line, you hold hands, and you say the little red rover red rover, send so and so right over, and then they try to run as, fast as they can to break apart the handshake. Yeah. K? I don't think kids play that anymore. You don't think so?
I don't think I see that on playgrounds much these days. You spend a lot of time on playgrounds these days. I know. Me neither. But I also think not a place I frequent.
What if we took our coworkers and played that game? Dibs on peaches. That's not fair. Why? Because he's too tall.
You brought up the coworker thing. I know I wanna do it with the coworkers. He said he would be picked in, in Red Rover. And, in any other game that You've talked about this already? Not Red Rover specific.
I mean, we talked about like, it came up in a conversation because we were talking about, seeing if we could outrun cops. And and so we were talking about different, different, you know, scenarios. And, Red Rover came up, and I he said he would be picked in that. And I said, okay. But what about dodgeball?
Because he's a bigger target. And I don't know if he's quick with the dodge or what. Peaches is a DJ on K Bear Right. Just down the hall. How tall is he?
I don't think he's he's under seven feet, but he's he's tall. Yeah. He's gotta be, like, six nine, six ten maybe. He's a tall guy. He's a tall dude.
But he you had to have propulsion to get through the hands that run over. Just because you're tall doesn't mean you're gonna get break through the hands. Well, he's just a big dude. Yeah. So he's you're not holding hands because he's gonna pick a weak spot.
I was always the weak spot. They always picked me. Man, I never got picked for anything. But you except for the weak spot. You were picked as the weak spot.
Yeah. Uh-huh. I was picked for that. Yeah. Because once if you break, the two people that break are out.
Right? No. When it breaks, then the person who breaks through gets to pick one of you to go back to That's right. That's right. Their team.
Yeah. Yeah. So then, eventually, would you get picked? No. You you got left over there because you were the weak link, and they could take the whole rest of the team.
Is that what I'm hearing? Yeah. Hold on stronger. Well, I was just having too much fun. I was just laughing.
Like that? Like a crazy person? Maniacally? Yeah. Oh, this is the best day ever playing Red Rover.
I really think we should play. We have a big field. We have enough people. We could make two teams. K.
I bet I'm tougher now. I bet I could grip some hands. Good luck breaking through. Who are you gripping? Who's on my team?
I don't know. I gotta pick somebody with a good grip. You have good grip. I do. Do you wanna be my good grip partner?
Oh. I know. You know it. You made the saddest face. I know.
I Okay. I I always feel bad for you because if we ever are in a situation where you have to team up, spouses naturally team up with each other. Sure. I go, oh, I'm sorry, Josh. I know.
You gotta you gotta have more confidence walking into stuff. Like, we've talked about, like, the amazing race before, and you're like, I would never be your partner is what you said. Because, because you feel like you would hold the team back. Yeah. Where's your confidence?
Like, bring something. I'm trying. I'm on a confidence journey. Yeah. So step up and go, yeah.
I would I would be able to contribute. I feel like you would dominate that game, though. You would be so good at that game. You think I'd be good on, on, like, an amazing race kinda game? I do.
You know directions. You know puzzles. Don't put me in the water. Yeah. You don't know Not a whole direction is not the same as on land.
It is. I mean, north is still north, but it's way harder to navigate on the water for me. You get confused. You get lost. Because the the landmarks are harder to spot.
Like, on land, I go, oh, that tree and that mountain and topography. That all makes sense. You put me on the water, I go, I got real lost just now. Anyway, it'd be fun. I would I would like to try it.
I think it'd be I think it'd be interesting to to do, like, the amazing race and see. Because there's also, like, puzzles involved. Yeah. That's the other thing that says you're good at collecting. Challenges.
You're good at those. Wanna have to eat anything. I I don't like that the shows are like, we've run out of ideas, so here's some boiled cockroach. Gross food to eat. Ugh.
Stop making people eat gross things. Like, it's just that that it's a whole different element. I don't wanna eat gross things. Depending on how gross it is, I could probably take that for the team. Ugh.
I could probably contribute that depending on what it is. No way. We just had a a former coworker who brought in some Japanese candy, and you didn't try that at all. No. And then I watched a couple other people try it yesterday, and they all had the same face.
I tried it. Yeah. It wasn't terrible. No. But they all had the the face of, like, it looked like it was uncooked dough Yeah.
And it felt like it was uncooked dough. It tasted like uncooked dough. Yeah. I think you're supposed to cook them. But but if it's all in Japanese and so no one read the directions, they just opened it up and started eating.
Like, you're probably supposed to put that in a toaster. It looks kinda strudally. No. I don't think the toaster is the right place. Like the toaster oven.
In a convections oven. Yeah. Yeah. Here. I have this dough.
Everybody's like, this is gross. I'm like, yeah. You didn't cook it. They're gone. I looked this morning to see if they were still there.
They're all gone. Did they all get eaten? I couldn't tell you. Or did somebody take them home and say, I'm gonna gonna cook these properly? Yeah.
Somebody translated it and went, oh, you're supposed to cook them. I bet they're way better cooked. The texture is awful. Yeah. You think?
Because it's raw. Yeah. It's raw dough. Mhmm. Okay.
Who's gonna be on my team for Red Rover? You? I guess. You're gonna be my I was reading a list of the best dads in movie history. Oh, interesting.
How far back in history? All of movie history? Let's see. I'm gonna see how far it goes back. Let's see.
I've got a 1993, a 1989 Mhmm. And a 1962. It goes back to 1962. Alright. Number 15, it's a list of 15.
Cow. Number 15. I'm not gonna read all of them. Yeah. Darth Vader.
Not not a good dad. Just gonna add that one in there as not a good dad, but he made the bottom of the list. Do you have a do you have a list of, I mean, you've got a whole list in front of you, but do you have a list that you think personally are good movie dads? Movie dads? Yeah.
Well, now I'm I'm Yeah. Because you've got this list in front of you. Okay. On this list, they have Gil Buckman from parenthood, Steve Martin. Yeah.
Steve Martin. I would agree with that. He is a good dad. Alright. I'm trying to think of a good dad movie.
Cover with him holding the kids upside down. I can think of good dads in TV, but Okay. I think of movie dads. What about Robin Williams, missus Doubtfire? Yes.
Actually, he's number three on this list. Okay. Solid solid dad. I mean, a little bit questionable on his ethics on how he got around custody. But it's just But, hey.
Listen. He just wanted to be with his kids. Kids. He just wanted to be a dad. What about Albert Brooks?
In Voice of Marlin in Finding Nemo. Oh, yeah. He's a good dad. Right? He's a nice dad.
I mean, he had a moment. How about Adam Sandler in Big Daddy? Okay. That's an interesting pick. I would say, again, a little questionable on the ethics of questionable on the holidays.
A child that's not his own, but that's okay. I have another one. I have three. Oh, do you? Yeah.
K. Steve Guttenberg, Tom Selleck. Oh, that's three men and a baby. Yeah. Yeah.
That's a good six. Alright. Yeah. Who was the one? Call it.
Ted Danson. Okay. Alright. What about Michael Keaton and mister mom? Michael Keaton.
I know you like I know you like him. I do like Michael Keaton. What about Sean Connery as Indiana Jones' dad? I don't know much about him as a dad. Okay.
Was he a good dad? Well, he was Indiana Jones' dad. I get that. But was he a good dad? I mean, he inspired curiosity and adventure in Indiana Jones.
He went on adventures with him. Alright. That's fair. What about, they added on this list I'm looking at, Marlon Brando and The Godfather. And, again, I haven't seen My mother was the same.
No. It's not a line. Dwyer Brown in Field of Dreams. I haven't seen that. Made made the list.
Okay. Might have gasped when I said that. Gasp. They say Apparently, that makes men cry, that movie. You mentioned, Darth Vader, James Earl Jones.
He got also listed for coming to America. This list was put together. The one I'm looking at is from the Oscars. Like like, they put together a list of, greatest movie dads, just in time for Father's Day. The number one dad on this list, and I don't agree with the I mean, maybe Liam Neeson in Taken.
Yeah. He's the number one on the Oscar list as well. I mean, he does have a very specific set of skills, very particular set of skills. I've not whatever. Scene taken.
Oh, you haven't? I haven't. Okay. Well, it's an adventure movie. Four of them.
Oh, I've only seen the one. I think. Right? I don't know. And when did the one come out?
Do we even know? 02/2008. Okay. Yeah. I have no idea what they were.
Kidnapped and all That's right. Movies? Well, I couldn't tell you. I don't know. I've only seen the one, as I stated earlier.
I understand. But but they try they're trying to hold her ransom, and he said, I will find you. I will, take you down. I have a very particular set of skills. And then the movie is basically just him using those skills.
So, you know Let's write it down. I wanna watch it. Alright. And then I'll determine if he's a good dad. I mean, his whole point was, like, you can't have my daughter.
I'm coming to get you. So in the in the in the realm of being a dad and showing up, nailed it. Again, questionable ethics on, on the, methods, perhaps. Do you know what I've been falling asleep to for the past two months? It hasn't been two months.
No. It's been a couple of weeks. Been a week and a half. Yeah. You keep turning on Gone with the Wind.
You're never gonna finish it. Yeah. Yeah. I am. Yeah.
Yeah. Yeah. I am. Three it's almost four hours long. Okay.
Watch it. I've been trying to, but I keep falling asleep. I know. I've tried to get through it. Then you picked up the book.
We own the book as well. And you were showing me the book, and you went, look at how small this print is. It's huge. It's a large book. Are you reading it?
Do you have it here? No. Oh. Oh, I thought you brought it. I thought you were reading it.
No. Are you going to read it? No. Alrighty. Fair enough.
I don't necessarily like the story. Okay. And then At one point last night, night, you had to rewind, and you said, you gotta look at this guy. I don't know what he's doing. This is the weirdest way to chop wood.
And he had, like, a wedge instead of an ax that he had placed in the log, and he was smacking it with literally a clown's circus hammer. I don't know what that hammer was. It was when was this set? Like, the eighteen sixties, I assume. Somewhere around It was in the civil war.
Yeah. So this guy is walking around with a circus mallet. The the one you smack on the thing and it sees to see how strong you are and it rings the bell. It's the strong man hammer made of, I don't know, cardboard because it's not it's not even moving that wedge. No.
And he's smacking it. Because it's just a prop. Yeah. And then you said, you said that your mom was infatuated with that guy when she when she would watch the show, she couldn't find out why. Scarlett O'Hara, the main character, is infatuated with that guy.
And I always when my mom would watch it Oh, I thought when you I girl, I'd be like, oh, he's not even cute. I thought when you said that, the way it sounded, you said, my mom would watch this, and she was infatuated with that. I never understood that. I thought you met your mom like that dude. And that's why I went, well, maybe she thinks he's handsome.
No. I didn't know you meant Scarlet. I can't understand why Scarlet likes him. Well, I know. Because he's walking around with a wedge and a circus clown hammer.
Necessarily like any of the characters. Okay. I get it was a different time, but I'm like, you're all terrible people. Alright. So I don't think I'm gonna read the book.
I don't know. Books are always better than movies, so maybe I like the characters more when I know a little more character development. Okay. I don't know. It is now I think last night was the time I've turned it on and fallen asleep.
Yep. That checks out. I'll try again tonight. Oh, good. What else I've noticed.
I feel like I could be a really good actress in 1930. You do? Yeah. I don't think it I think it was probably pretty easy to be an actor Okay. But how did people get into it back then?
Because don't you think there would have been just as much demand to be in stardom as there is now? I don't know. Or do you think over the years, people are like, no. Hollywood. I gotta make it bigger than Hollywood.
I don't know. I don't know the answer to that. But I do know that some of their acting, I go Yeah. I agree. I could do that.
I totally agree. I just saw a scene where they got somebody oh, I know what happened. Spoiler alert. I'm Gone with the Wind. Her her dad fell off the horse, and one of the actresses, like, is shocked and disgusted, and she goes she puts her hand over her face and turns her head away all dramatic, like, just like that.
Yeah. That's a normal reaction. I mean, but Look away. Hi, kids. It's so it's a lot.
I understand. I understand the times have changed, but I'm like, I could probably have made it real big in 1930 as an actress. Isn't there a fire coming? Like, is I think there's a fire involved. I think the fire already happened.
Okay. You don't remember for sure. Great. Here's what happens. Because you fall asleep, and then you wake up and you watch some of the scene.
So I don't necessarily know the timeline of things because I've seen things out of order. Does that make sense? Yeah. I get you. This particular scene, in, in Gone with the Wind was an iconic scene because they had to use a large backlot set, false facades, attached to existing sets, and pyrotechnics to create the illusions of flame and destruction.
It was a big Hollywood movie magic moment when they did, the giant fire thing. I don't think I've I don't think I've seen that part yet. Alright. I'm at the scene where she marries her sister's boyfriend. I couldn't tell you anything about it.
But it it's it was filmed on a what I said? Yeah. She married her sister's boyfriend. Yeah. Well, I don't know anything about it.
The scene was filmed on a 40 acre backlot. Like, they had to have a huge amount of space to be able to do this. Really interesting. So when you get to that fire the fire scene k. Oh, man.
I'll let you know. Alright. I'd like to see that. I'm sure you will. I heard there was a fire thing.
I'm sure I'll see it more than once. I'm sure you will too. Yeah. It'll be cool. And then what'll happen is I'll watch it two or three times, and then you'll be like, I gotta I gotta finish this movie.
And then you'll be watching it on your phone, and I'll go, I've seen this scene four times. It's craziness. Alright. Would You Rather This or That? Kind of a dad edition.
Kind of a dad edition. K? Would you rather teach someone how to ride a bike or teach someone how to drive a stick shift? Okay. I've done both.
You have done both. Which do you prefer? Well, I think you're gonna take bike Yes. Because you're not so good with the, manual transmission. You are after you've practiced, and if, it's out of necessity because the only car we had at the time was indeed a manual transmission.
Been out of practice for a lot a lot of years. Yeah. So I don't I hope it'd be There's some muscle memory in there. I hope there would be some muscle memory, but it's been a very long time. Plus, it works the same way as snowboarding.
It's just heels and toes. Just heels and toes. Just like this. Just do this. Just paddles.
It made you so happy every time I kept saying it. And then you went, quit saying that. And then I say it again, and you go, stop saying that. You're saying the same thing. It doesn't mean anything.
I go, just ease up. Ease on the throttle. Let a little bit out. Give it a little gas. Just easy easy.
You are a very patient teacher. You really are. I am not a very good student. So I'm picking, the the manual transmission one. You've already done that.
You've done let's see. You've taught you taught both of our kids how to ride their bikes. Right. And you taught me and Beck how to drive a manual. That's what I'm saying.
And I like the manual transmission more. Why? I don't know. It's more fun. I'm going with the bike because I don't feel like I'm gonna die if I teach somebody how to ride a bike.
Alright. I like your reaction when the kids ride the bikes, though, for the time. You get so excited. It's very, very fun. That's my role.
You teach them how to ride the bike. They're down the pedal, and I'm like, keep going. Words of encouragement. Yeah. You're doing it.
You're doing it. I think the time Emery learned how to ride her bike, I go, That's exactly what you did because we have the video of it, and that's the noise you made. And back, I said, back back back back back back. Yep. And then he was like, I'm doing it.
It's perfect. So, yeah, I'm picking, I'm picking the car, just because it's, it's more fun. Riding the bike is is fine. Like, it's a good time. But driving a manual transmission, just ease off on the just let it out slow.
You know? You'll be fine. Do you remember June 5? Six days ago? What happened?
I don't know. The Nintendo Switch two came out. This is all you talk about. No. I wanted to give you a little bit of an update because there's two things you need to know.
One, the Nintendo Switch two sold over three and a half million units worldwide in the four days. Really? Three and a half million Guys. Nintendo Switch two sold in the four days across the world. You got buffaloed.
Why? Because you didn't need it. It's overpriced. Yeah. You don't need it.
Okay. You got, you got fed consumerism. You you fell for it. I've heard great things about the new Mario Kart game. I have too.
Like, incredible things about it. Have too. So I'm just telling you that it it did move some units. Not to my house. No.
It did not. But then something happened yesterday. They all broke. Nope. Xbox from Microsoft.
They said, hey, Nintendo. Guess what? We have a new console too. We're bringing out not one, but two handheld gaming devices. Why do they need to bring out two?
Because they're doing a it's called the ROG Xbox, Ally and the Rog Xbox ally x. Rog? R o g. Stupid. thing Yes.
Why do they need two? Well Greedy. So okay. Stupid and greedy. Alright.
So now I'm out of that set. Settle down. So, both is it both of these? I'm just trying to find. They both have a seven inch ten eighty p touchscreen.
They both feature Wi Fi six and Bluetooth 5.4. They both have the same button layout and overall dimensions, and that is the end of the similarities. All of the differences are on the internals. They have different processors. They have different amounts of internal storage, different amount of, of RAM processing speed.
They also, Microsoft says it is targeting a seven twenty p gaming experience on the lesser of the two while the other one will run ten eighty p all the time. On the Rogue one? On the Rogue two? The Rogue x Xbox Ally and the ROG xbox ally x. Does ROG stand for anything?
Great question. I don't know the answer to that. I don't know. Stupid. I don't know.
Guess it's Here's the here's what I would say is different about this than, than than Nintendo entirely. The controllers on this are completely built into the unit. So think about, like, the Game Gear that Sega made back in the day. I have no idea what you're talking about. You the backlit color Game Gear that Sonic was on?
No. Oh, man. This is not your audience. No way. You know the Game Boy?
I have mine. My original Game Boy handheld Yeah. That was just, like, dimly lit, and you had to hold just the right way to see. Yes. Well, Game Gear said, Sega was like, watch this, and they released the Game Gear, which was about that big rectangular, backlit color screen, and it was it was like having a TV in your hand.
They they revolutionized it. It was huge. Sega. Well done. Yeah.
Yeah. It was amazing. They don't exist anymore. No. I mean, they they do, just not in the same way.
They don't make their own consoles. They're still making games. They really get what happened to Sega is they got into the arcade business. Why'd you even bring this up? I don't we I just look away like, here we go.
Yeah. I know. I saw. Anyway, Microsoft is getting in on the handheld game. They haven't released, when it'll come out or how much it's gonna cost.
K. And it, will all be digital download. It won't launch itself as a hardware thing. Well, okay. But it is a handheld Xbox, and it is coming this fall.
Okay. So that's what I know. I'll be sure to keep you updated just as I did with the Nintendo Switch two. They I'll be so excited to hear updates. I every time I learn something new, I'll be sure to let you know because it's it's important to you.
It matters not to me. Rude. Sorry. Sorry. I know that there's a million people who care about it.
I am not one of them. I know. There are tons of people you could talk to about it. I know two just down the hallway. I'd more so, you wanna know the reason that I think it's important to kinda talk about it?
No. Is because you don't wanna know why? Well, I'll tell you why, anyway. You can just mind your business, tune out or something. The reason why I bring it up is because somebody out there is dealing with their teenager going, Xbox is coming out with a handheld.
I gotta preorder the Rogue. You know, you're right. And then you gotta go, what is that? I don't know what you're talking about. What is a Rogue?
That's why I talk about it. And then, you know what else you can do? You can take all of this cool information. I just went bleh. And you can sit around the dinner table, and you can go, oh, I heard Xbox is getting into the handheld game.
And they'll go, yeah. They are. It looks really good. And then you have a bonding moment. There you go.
See? So don't just dismiss it like no one cares. You're right. I'm I'm wrong. I know.
You're right. I didn't say you're wrong. You could be the cool mom and be like, hey. That's it. I heard that the wrong ally is coming out.
Yeah. Do you think the ally is better than the ally x? And your kid will go, oh my gosh. My mom is so cool. Yeah.
Where'd you hear about that? My mom. Yeah. I love Xbox. Hey.
Have a good rest of your day. We'll be back tomorrow. If you missed any part of the show and you wanna catch up on it or you wanna hear a part of it again, study up on the Rog so you can really be ready to go. You can replay the whole show on demand. It's available everywhere you get podcasts.
