No. Do you? No. Not particularly. Should we name them?
I do you wanna name your Surface, your personal computer? Sure. Because it feels weird to name your work computer. That's like then if, you know, if you have to leave one day, you're like, well, later, Harold. Yeah.
Oh, no. Martha. Right. You old girl? It's been a it's been a good couple of years.
And are you naming the computer or are you naming the monitor? Both. You see? You'd have to name both because if you named 1, then the other would feel sad. Harold and Maude.
And then you'd have to name your key bard key bard? Yes. Harold and Maude. I love that movie. Yeah.
And then you'd have to name your mouse. Right. That's too much. It is too much. Right.

I'm trying to get these Christmas lights to work. Oh. When I banged tomorrow Well, they're on. They worked. Barely.

They are. Every every school. So, there's that as well. There's a lot going on. It's Wednesday, and, we're awake, and we're in the studio.
So happy Wednesday. Happy Wednesday. Here we go. Yeah. Midweek.
Yeah. Woo. Good news for your Wednesday, on Veterans Day this year. Anthony Simone is a 98 year old World War 2 veteran. K.
He's honored with a diploma from Cranston East High School in Rhode Island, 82 years after leaving school to support his family during the great depression. He was drafting I know. Isn't that cool? He was drafted into the army at 18. He fought in the battle of the bulge.
And when he arrived back in the United States, he earned his GED, but the school community of Cranston East wanted to make sure that he was celebrated for his military service as well as the extra step that he took getting his GED. So they gave him an official high school diploma. Aw. Which I think is pretty special. Amazing.
Yeah. So he was surrounded by a bunch of loved ones, and he is a father, a grandfather. I would imagine at 98, he's probably a great grandfather, but, he expressed his surprise and gratitude. He said, I never expected to be honored like this. So Aw.
Pretty excited. That's so good. I like it. So congratulations, Anthony Simone, or Simone, 98 year old World War 2 veteran. Got his high school diploma.
I like it. Congrats, dude. Good news to get you going. There's a woman on I don't know where she is. I think she's on TikTok.
Everybody's on TikTok. She is claiming that she has a health hack, a way to make your pizza more healthy. Why ruin pizza? What are you doing? She said right after your pizza is delivered Throw it in the garbage.
No. Well, that's a way to be healthy. Says you take your box Yeah. You flip it upside down, and you drop it on the floor. Oh.
Then you pick it back up. It's still upside down. Right? You flip it back over and drop it again on the floor. K.
She says that all of the grease Alright. Will transfer to the top and the bottom of the box, leaving your pizza healthy. 1, no. It won't be. 2, depending on your toppings, they're going everywhere.
Everywhere. And if your cheese is nice and melty, it's stuck to the top of the box. Top of your box. She has a video of it. She did the grease did stick to the top of the pizza box.
Yeah. She did just have cheese pizza. Her cheese did not stick to the top of her box. Grown adult woman? A grown adult woman.
Who eats just cheese pizza? Yeah. I can't trust her. Why? Because she only eats cheese pizza.
Eat just cheese pizza? No. You don't. Sometimes I do. You prefer to have a lot of vegetables on your pizza.
Yeah. I prefer that. Right. This woman was like, no. She's pizza.
She's only for me. You know you know what she reminds me of? What? Kevin McCallister. That's what.
Come on. I don't recommend this. I will say that the grease did stick. There was quite a bit of grease that stuck to the top of our pizza box. I'm sure that's true.
But does it make it healthier? I don't think so. I doubt it. You're still gonna have a lot of grease left on top of that pizza. Yeah.
Oh, the things people do for reviews. Yeah. Yeah. That's what she did. She went, I need to get viral.
How can I go viral? Unique idea that I could have. I could throw my pizza around. People will be upset about that, and here we are upset about it. I'm upset about it.
I'm not upset about it. I'm moving on with my day. See how easy? Look at you go. All all day, I'm gonna be thinking about this pizza that got dropped and how it's just rude to the pizza.
Oh, she still ate the pizza, I think. Yeah. Also But you didn't have to throw it around. You don't have to have so much pizza violence. Why do you have to throw it on the floor too?
Why can't you just throw it on the counter? Good question. This is a good question. Just Or at the table. Or table.
You know, anywhere. Or just when the pizza is delivered, here's an idea. Open it up. Take a slice. Delicious.
Yeah. Just eat it. Just eat your pizza. Do you know who's, playing Monday night football on December 9th? No.
So it's the Dallas Cowboys and the Cincinnati Bengals. Oh. They're gonna be playing. Now Bengals are a favorite in our house. I know.
I know. Both teams are seemingly out of the playoffs at this point. Now there's still a chance the the Bengals could make it into the playoffs. They just have to win every game, and a couple other teams have to lose some games. So it's really up in the air for them, honestly.
Well and isn't Dak Prescott? He's out, isn't he? Didn't he get injured? I haven't been keeping up with the Cowboys. I don't know.
I know that I have Cee Dumb on my team, and he's not been doing well the past few weeks. Oh. So it makes sense if his quarterback was out that he wasn't normally, get getting the scores he normally does. But, anyway CJ. CJ.
What? Okay. Go ahead. Yeah. It's fine.
It it would seem sort of like the league would maybe wanna put another game into that prime time slot, but they can't. Why? And which I think is lame that they would think to do that anyway. Like, you've made the schedule. Stick with your schedule.
Stick with it. Like You can't Yeah. Adjust things like that. Right. But they they really cannot change the games, the this particular game because ESPN has an alternate broadcast on ESPN plus and Disney plus for this game on December 9th that we'll be using animation and the voices of iconic characters from the Simpsons, and all of that material is specific to the Cowboys and the Bengals because you have to get a bunch of this stuff prerecorded Yeah.
In order for the AI technology to be able to use it and stuff. So they've they've preset all of the, voice work that they need for this game. So the NFL cannot change the schedule Good. Of broadcast games for the December 9th game because of the Simpsons. Yes.
I just looked it up. Dak Prescott is out Yeah. For the remainder of the season Yeah. Because he has he has a partially torn hamstring. Yeah.
That would be why that's a big contributor to why the cowboys are not doing well. He is, officially placed on injured reserve. Yep. Oh, sorry, cowboys. There's a lot of cow there's a lot of cowboys fans Sure.
In East Idaho. For sure. So ice I'm sorry. Yeah. I am not sorry because our son gets a little cranky when his team, the Bengals, loses.
So I I hope his team wins because I don't want him to be cranky. There you go. Who's the who's the backup cowboys quarterback? I couldn't tell you. Oh, he's not gonna be nearly as entertaining as Prescott.
Okay. Here we go. Let me look. What's that called when the quarterbacks have their Cooper Rush is apparently the Cowboys' backup. What's the snap call that they Their their own cadence thing?
I don't know what it's called. It's called something. Yeah. It's got a name. Cooper Rush.
Cooper Rush. What if Cooper Rush makes it He does it he does it. Okay. Pass a wall. Here here we go.
Does it on his own? That'd be funny. Anyway, December 9th will be the Cowboys and the Bengals because of the Simpsons. That's the big news. Minus that.
So Prescott. Well, right. There is that. Okay. Here we go.
When was the last time you cried at a movie? It's okay, Josh. We're gonna talk about our emotions. Oh, we are. Alright.
Because it's okay for men to have emotions too. Hot minute. Now when is the last time I felt emotional, at a movie? I'd have to I'd still have to really ponder. K.
I mean, venom wasn't a real tearjerker. That's the last movie we saw. I know. That's why I'm trying to go trying to go deeper into the movies that we've seen. When was the last time I cried at a movie?
Venom. No. I didn't cry at Venom. I know. I know.
But, yes, I cry at You you cry at movies. I cry at a lot of movies. Probably Inside Out is the last one that you Inside Out 2. Probably the last one you cried at. Yeah.
And I and I feel emotion. It's not like I'm some stone human. Like, I have feelings, but I I don't like to full on express that in a public setting. And not that I'm holding back either. It's not I'm, like, I'm consciously, like, distract yourself.
Don't don't feel the worst. It in. Hold it in. No. It's just that I, like, I don't weep.
You know? Okay. They've released a list of movies that are what they call guy cry movies. Guy cry movies. These are movies that can make men, masculine men cry just because they deal with a lot of, like, masculine topics.
Okay. Are there is there any that you can think of off the top of your head? I think there's a great moment in October Sky. Oh, October Sky did not make the list. When you met your big hero.
I heard you met your big hero. Right? That's a big deal. My hero is you, Diane. Okay.
And all that. Spoiler alert. Yeah. Yeah. He's not my hero.
You are. What do you what do you got? What's on the list? I got Field of Dreams. I don't think I've seen Field of Dreams.
Really? I understand it's a baseball movie and that there's a baseball diamond in a cornfield. That's about all I know. Whole whole plot of the movie. And if you build it, they will come.
Like, I know the line. Okay. But I've not I don't think I've seen it. Saving Private Ryan? I have seen that.
I don't know that it's a tearjerker. I mean, it's a big movie, but there's there's a ton of action going on. There's You are made of No. I am not. Don't.
No. I am not. What about ET? I know you like this one. ET is a good movie.
Didn't make me cry. Oh, ET, Josh. A big emotional moment when he's screaming alien. This one makes me I don't know why this one's on the list. Terminator 2?

Yeah. Where the where the pants John Connor. Oh, yeah. Yeah. That's not a cry movie.
No. I know. I don't know how why that made the list where he gets melted into the hot. I did see that. There's gonna be some spoilers, but these are old movies, guys.

That's a great movie. It is a fantastic movie. Movie. The Shawshank Redemption, another prison movie. And what's a Shawshank redemption?
Truly was. Shawshank Redemption. Another prison movie. Right? Yeah.
Yeah. And that's the one where they dig the tunnel out. Mhmm. Okay. Yeah.

Yeah. Because Josh doesn't typically watch movies. Goodwill Hunting. That that's the, the janitor math. Yeah.
Yeah. Good. You're really good at plots. Yeah. Janitor Matt.
Braveheart. Oh, yeah. Freedom, Mel Gibson. I know that one. Sure.
Armageddon is, like, number 2 on this list. Ben Affleck and Liv Tyler. Yeah. And Bruce Willis. Yeah.
That movie is ridiculous. Alright. How about this one? Furious 7. I look.
I only watched, I think, the first one or 2 of the furious movies. Furious 7, this is the one where they say goodbye to Paul Walker's character Yeah. After his death in his real life. Yeah. And he just peels off the highway.
Later, dudes. And they play that. Yeah. And they played the that's right. Time.
Yeah. Without you That's right. I'm not crying. You are. Yeah.
I haven't seen that movie, though. I haven't either. What else is on this list? The iron giant? Okay.
That's that's a great movie. That's a it's an animated robot in the forest movie. Haven't seen that one. Gladiator K. Logan?
Seen it. I have not seen Logan. Know what Logan even is. The Wolverine movie, the last Wolverine movie. Wolverine?
Yeah. I don't want that one. I think I need to see more movies maybe and get him a little more in touch with my emotions. I'm gonna make a list of all of these. We're just gonna sit down.
We're gonna have a marathon of all of these. That's see what's gonna get me? Which one? He's gonna sit there and stare at me. Are are you weepy?
Are are you feeling emotions? Sheer? And if you have no emotion, I've married a stone cold fox. Okay. I don't think that's No.
That's That's not it. But okay. So when you're, gonna be a new parent, one of the fun things that you get to do is name a baby. Let's name that baby. Right.
It is a bit like a game because you gotta figure out what are we gonna call this thing. My favorite thing is before it actually gets a name or before you decide on a name, they'll just put a strap around the hospital will just put the strap, like, the hospital bracelet around its arm or on the bucket, like, the little The clear pail? Yeah. The clear pale. The the Tupperware they sent the baby in.
The baby in. Yeah. And they'll just give it a last name. So they'll say baby Bristol. Yeah.
Or whatever. Or baby Tielor. Or baby long or baby Smith. Yeah. Whatever.
Yeah. So, this there's this lady named Coleen, Slagan, and she gets paid to help people come up with a baby name. Oh. That's her job. I wanna have that job.
Right? But she she said, here are some rules. Here are things that I call my icks Okay. Which which, she said people that borrow a name from a friend or a relative is one of her biggest icks. And she said, I'm not saying that everybody can just say, I'm gonna name my kid Chantel, and no one else can name their kid Chantel.
You can't gatekeep a baby name. But she said, if your partner's sister says that she loves the name Mila, for example k. But she's not having kids yet and you get pregnant and you go, I'm having a girl and I'm naming her Mila. That's an ick. That's an ick.
She's like, don't do that. Don't do that. I agree with that. That's not okay. I've already state claim to that name.
Which you can't necessarily go, I'm I'm naming my kid this, but it it happens. So, another no no, she said, is crazy misspellings of common names and reusing names of long gone relatives. She said mom should be given some leeway. I think a person pushing out the baby has a big stake, and so it shouldn't be like, hey. This is my great grandfather's name, so it's the baby's name.
Like, is it? Like, is it you can't push your weight around. There's, like, 3 things in one right there. And then somebody else chimed in and said my ich is when people forget that they're naming future adults. Oh, yeah.
And so they give the kids a a crazy name. The examples here, this lady named her kids Trendy Okay. And Truly. And she said, imagine applying for a job later in life. And they go, what's your name?
Trendy? Your name is Trendy. Your name is Trendy. Alright. I I think it's interesting when you insert when parents insert weird letters that aren't typically supposed to be there phonetically either.
And I remember talking to a kindergarten teacher once that was like, imagine trying to teach these kids how to spell their names. Sure. And there's a y in there that shouldn't have a y in there. A silent s. Yeah.
So I think sometimes parents forget about that when they're all looking at their bundles of joy going, I love this name. Let's name her I don't know. I can't even think of anything crazy. Cleopatra. Well, Cleopatra, that's actually spelled phonetically, though, isn't it?
Well, it depends on how you spell it. If they spelled It's been a what? They What happened? I don't know what happened to my voice. If they spelled Cleopatra with an x.
Oh, yeah. A silent x. Cleopatrax. No. It's silent.
I always when I when we were naming our kids, I was like, okay. What are, like, what are people gonna call them? What are the kids at school? What are the mean kids? You have to you have to tear that apart and go, yeah, what rhymes with this?
Uh-huh. Yeah. How are kids gonna use this for evil? Right. Because kids will.
They'll find a way. They will. They'll find a way. What you should do is is ask a bunch of kids. Do it like a a panel with kids and say, what should we name it?
And then that's how they're gonna end up with Boaty McBoatface, is the name of a boat because they left it to kids. So you're gonna end up with baby McBabieface. That's the name of your child. What you'd need to do is give a handful of names to middle school kids and say, rip this name apart. What do you got?
Yeah. Yeah. And the middle school kids will be like, this and this and this. Yeah. What, what did That one's off the list.
Our son, when when you were pregnant with Emery, wanted to, call her, Bruce Banner, Batman, some it was like 400 different superhero names, and it was really long. But he remembered it every time he'd bring it up. What do you wanna call her? And it was Bruce Banner. Yeah.
I can't even remember. It was it was a whole bunch of names. We were like, yeah. Probably not gonna do that, buddy. He also thought that she was gonna come out with an arm that could shoot.
So Well, you never know. Yeah. He thought that she was gonna have a rocket arm. Yeah. He really thought she was gonna be a superhero.
With a rocket arm. Yeah. Sorry to disappoint, kid. She hasn't developed a rocket arm yet. Yet.
Right. Still working on it. Do you think that people should have to take a driver's test again when they turn a certain age? Yeah. I've said that out loud many times when I'm driving where I've said everyone on the road needs to go back to to driver's ed to learn how to navigate new traffic patterns that have been introduced since they were in high school and took the driving test.
Yes. How often do you think they should go back and taste it? I think you should have to take it every, I don't know, 15, maybe? 15 15 years? 15 to 20 years.
I would agree with that. I really do. If because if you get it when you're 15 or 16, you should have to take it again when you're 20 years later at 36 or 40. I certainly think when you're 60. They 20 years.
As a driver, we often get into habits that we think are law because we've been doing them so often. Yes. And we see everybody else doing the same thing. So we're like, oh, that's gotta be the right thing to do. Yeah.
And we get into habits where we go, no. That's the right thing. That's absolutely law. Yeah. So I'm I'm with you.
I think every 15 to 20 years, everyone should have to take it. 20 to make the math easy. Like, whenever whenever you start, you have to take it at your 40th birthday. You have to take it at your 60th birthday. And then after 60, you should probably have to take it again at 70.
You should. No. You're right. I mean and I'm not trying to say that we we don't want, you know, elderly people to be driving. That's the like, I just think you've gotta be able to You have to be able maintain a vehicle, responsibly in order to put it out on the road.
You should have to take a written exam and Yeah. You have to do the eye exam. Yeah. But you should also is the written enough, or should you also have to do a skills test? Oh.
And I'm not saying, like, the fundamentals of, like, parking, but they need to take a bunch of people through a roundabout and teach them how to use it. Yeah. No. No. No.
No. Do you see what I'm saying? Yeah. They should. Like like They actually should.
An actual experience thing where you need somebody in the car to say, here's how this is supposed to work. Navigate this. And and over the course of probably 5 to 8 years, you would actually be able to implement that as a normal thing that everybody knows how to navigate through. And here's if they did make this a rule that you had to take it every so often, there are still people who will refuse to do it, and they'll find ways around it, etcetera etcetera. But at least, hopefully, the majority of people would say, yeah.
You know what? I could use a refresher. Right. Let's do this. Yeah.
I would I would happily go do it again just to learn all the open range laws and to ask again the question, why does the cow have the right of way? It's because the cow's not gonna move. That's why. I get it. But And that cow's gonna really jack up your car if you run into it.
Yeah. Yeah. There will be a cow sized dent for sure. Mhmm. Yeah.
So I get why the cow's in charge, but come on, cow. I don't know if I'd you said you'd happily go take it. I don't know if I'd happily go do it. But yes. Do it.
I would if it made things safer and if I could learn a thing or two and be like, oh. But I'm also fairly confident in my ability. So I feel like Oh, woah. No. No.
Stop. What I'm saying is I'm not, like, afraid to go take the test. I don't think I'm gonna fail. No. I don't think I would either.
Right. I just I don't like being told that I'm wrong. So if I've been doing something for the past 30 years and somebody goes, yeah. Actually, that's that's not law. I'd be like Teaching people how to turn to the proper lane, teaching people when to enter a turning lane, teaching people roundabouts, teaching them Let's be real.
Configurate exits and and on ramps. People are still gonna do what they're gonna do. I get it. But there's so many common traffic problems that could potentially be resolved over the course of 8 to 10 years that would be just great. It'd be just great.
Be great. There was a Royal Caribbean cruise ship called Explora of the Seas. You said was. There was. Oh, there is.
There okay. There is. He docked in Miami. He the boat? The the boat the boat docked in Miami on Sunday.
Okay. It was supposed to arrive last Thursday, but there was an incident. What happened? 5 days into the, voyage, it got hit by a gust of wind near the Canary Islands. K.
And the ship tilted to one side with thousands of people on board. That's a scary thing. One passenger said it felt like a 45 degree angle and lasted about 15 minutes. Sorry. 3 minutes.
For 3 minutes, the world was tilts. For 3 minutes, it felt like it was at a 45 degree angle. The captain said, no. We were tilted at more like 14 degrees, but that's still quite a bit for a large ship. Right.
Tables and chairs were sliding. There was broken glass everywhere. There is a video where a big screen display slides across the floor and hits a guy and then crashes into a table. You can also see people struggling to walk. There was also a guy on board who reported that while this was happening, somewhere on the ship was my heart will go on, the theme song from Titanic.
Mhmm. You can't hear any of it from any of the footage that's being shown online, so it wasn't obviously playing on the loudspeakers or over everywhere everywhere. There was some kind of performance going on somewhere on the ship where this is going on. But a lot of people on board that could hear it was like, is this part of a show? Yeah.
Well, they tipped the whole boat. What kind of party trick is this? Yeah. Thankfully, the ship was fine. It righted itself.
It had to return to port after one person was injured and needed medical attention, and that's why it got to Miami 3 days late. But everybody else on board is fine. The captain is like, sometimes these kinds of things happen. Maybe the Titanic performance was in poor taste. Yeah.
You I don't know, like, how did that one get past somebody? Because at some point, they were like, we're gonna do this thing. And they were like, on a boat? On a You're gonna do that on a boat? Ship?
Yeah. Maybe not. Let's not Maybe read the room. Let's try something else that doesn't involve boats of any kind. Yeah.
Yeah. Yeah. That's not it. Let's let's not do that. That's that's what someone should have said, but they didn't.
And the show went on. And the explorer of the seas lives to tell another tale. Well, that's at least there's that. That's the good news. But what a scary thing 14 degrees.
How big is 14 degrees? Well, it's 2 more than 12. Alright. There was an airplane that had to be grounded for 4 days in an airport in Portugal. Grounded.
What did he do? Yeah. Well, I'll tell you what happened, and then you'll go, yeah. I'm glad that airplane was grounded. He should be grounded for life.
No. Listen. This plane had to be grounded for 4 days in an airport in Portugal, because 132 hamsters escaped from their cages in the cargo hold and ran amuck around the plane. 132 hamsters. Okay.
Time out. They got they got loose in the cargo section of the plane. How did they get to the top level of the plane? There's gaps and things. They explored.
They did what hamsters do. Oh, no. A 143. 134. 132.
132. Who was carrying that many hamsters? So they were being transported, destined for a pet shop. At some point during the flight, the hamsters, their entire escape plan worked exactly as they had hoped, and they opened up a little cage. And they got loose, and they made their way into the cabin.
The plane was held at the airport for 4 days so that maintenance crews could wrangle up all of the hamsters. They were able to capture all but 16 of them. No. They also had to carefully inspect all of the airplane to make sure that they didn't, nibble through any wires Oh, right. Or, you know, hurt anything that would be critical to the functioning of the airplane.
Did any of them get stepped on or sat upon? Or don't know where those other 16 are. The plane was flown back to its original, airport. It is unclear if the remaining 16 have ever been found. Oh, no.
Let's not hope 16 of those hamsters are. Let's hope they're all male or all female. There is that because your 16 is gonna turn to a 132 again real fast. Yeah. Yeah.
Yeah. That's a that is a true statement. So many hamsters on an airplane. You just imagine. They're like, we got this idea.
We're gonna get out of here. They're gonna put us in a big box. They're gonna put us on an airplane, and all we have to do is open this one latch, and we're free. I like that they went amuck. Yeah.
That's right. That they used the word amuck. Yep. They ran amuck through the plane. Scares the muck.
Yeah. What an adventure being a hamster on a big old airplane. You imagine? Crazy. Did you hear that there was a fight on Friday?
Yeah. There was a there was a big fight. Yeah. Mike Tyson. Oh.
Jake Paul. Is that? Logan. Logan's little brother. Yeah.
Jake Jake and and Mike. Okay. I hadn't I hadn't heard. Yeah. Yeah.
You have. But they Apparently, there was a lot of people that were trying to stream this fight. A 108,000,000 people are what they are claiming have tried to watch this fight, tried to watch this fight on Friday. If you did try to watch and you couldn't because there were so many people watching and you just were buffering, buffering, buffering the whole time, we were able to watch it. I am sad to say.
I wish that I had not wasted my time. Okay. And I should be suing Netflix for wasting my time. Alright. But Netflix is being sued by, another person by a Florida man named Ronald.
He's filed a class action lawsuit calling Netflix failure legendary. Wow. He's suing for breach of contract and other offenses and seeking unspecified damages. Because he had to buffer. Because he had to buffer.
That's I don't know what he can do about that. Locked out of the fight because I'm gonna tell you, terms of service are definitely not in his favor. And and somewhere in there is going to say, outages and whatever are not the responsibility of Netflix, and you yeah. I don't think he's winning this one. I don't think he's gonna win this one there.
Waste some money. Look. I get it. It's frustrating. But But what are you what are you gonna do?
Tell you, you you pause it, you wait for it, and then you turn it back on. It's gonna be fine. Did we watch it live? No. We had a couple of buffer issues, but it was we were delayed.
But it was it's fine. It's fine. Whatever. And, also, guess what? It doesn't matter because it was a waste of your time.
Right. It's not even that big of a deal. So don't even worry about it. Brush it off and say, this one's on me. Right.
But you could also go watch it now. It's still there. But, also, this was a bad idea on my part to even sit down and watch this. So I'm just saying. Yeah.
Like Bad choice for me. I don't know. You should be suing yourself Yeah. For thinking that you missed out on something. Thinking that this would be something that was cool to watch.
Sue yourself. Yeah. Yeah. Try that. He's saying that Netflix was completely unprepared to handle the amount of streams.
I don't disagree. They should have totally expected this. And, Yeah. I think that I think that it was a big test of their capabilities to do a live thing on Netflix. Christmas day, they're gonna try to do football.
Good luck. Are they? Yeah. What are they gonna try and stream? There's a football game that's on Netflix.
Netflix bought a the rights to air a football game. What football game? I don't know whichever one they're doing. If it's not the Vikings, then don't even bother watching. Here's a news flash for everybody.
Don't bother. Let's see. It's gonna be the Ravens, Texans game. Oh, I really like that. Oh, and Chiefs Steelers.
They've got 2 2 games, and those are big games. Chiefs Steelers and Ravens, Texans, both of those games are big games. I really like the Ravens, Texans. I like both of those teams. The other teams, blah.
So Gilmore, Netflix is between the fight and Christmas day. Gotta get their ducks in a row. Yeah. They better. So they're working.
Gonna be mad about those. Yeah. Then they'll they'll begin sued again. Oh, the Ravens, Texans. That's gonna be a good game.
Oh, yeah. The other one, like I said Chiefs Steelers? Don't worry about it. Nobody cares about either one of them. Well, they're on Netflix Christmas day.
So good luck Netflix. Hopefully, your servers can handle it. That's all that's all I'm saying. Good luck. There's an ice skating rink in England.
Mhmm. There is a man who works there. He lost his phone and needed to borrow his daughter's pink iPhone. Okay. So he borrowed his pink his daughter's pink iPhone for the day and then lost hers too.
No way. Technically, he didn't lose it. He knows exactly where it is. He just can't get to it. They were setting up the rink, the ice rink for the holidays, and he didn't realize that he had dropped it.
So it got frozen in the ice. Guess where his phone is? Frozen in the ice too. Gotta be. Right?
They can't see his. They can see hers. Her pink pink. Is sitting directly under the ice. Telling you, so is his.
His is there too. They can't get to it without redoing the entire skating rink. So it's gonna be stuck in the ice for the next few months. No way. He had to get his daughter a replacement phone.
Wow. Can you imagine how mad she's gonna be? I don't know how old his daughter is. The good news is that it's great for business because it's become quite the logo. People wanna come and check out the, phone in the ice.
Yeah. Yeah. I wonder how old his daughter is because if she's a teenager Oh, she has a pink iPhone. She's a teenager. So mad.
Yeah. For sure. She's she's upset. He's gonna have to do a lot of making up to her. And so when she gets her phone back, do you think it's still gonna work?
Obviously, the battery will be dead. It's it's not gonna last a couple of months. It's not in airplane mode. I don't know. If it was a Google or an Android, I bet it would.
Oh. Oh. What is Oh, a slam on iPhone. Why? Completely unnecessary.
It wasn't. And it wasn't even a good slam. So slow down. Like, I'm with you on the I don't care for iPhone train, but that was strange. I don't care about Google.
I don't. I don't care. It's a a phone is a phone. Yeah. I just wanted to make an iPhone Android joke.
Okay. You did. You did it. You did it. Good job.
Boom. Roasted. So you know how it's, dark outside a lot right now? Yes. Dark forever in the morning.
Yes. Dark early at night. Yes. And we just feel like we're never gonna see the sun again. Yes.
I I don't wanna live in this particular town in Alaska, and there are multiple areas in Alaska that this happens. But, this town, Utqiagvik in Alaska, they gave me the pronunciation, so I'm pretty sure that pretty sure that's pretty sure that's right. It is the northernmost town in America up in Alaska. Just said goodbye to the sun for the next 2 months. Oh, no.
No sun for 2 months. I would lose my mind. It'd just be like it is right now. It's dark. Dark always.
Dark. Oh, man. I know. That's too depressing. For 2 months?
Yeah. The phenomenon is called the polar night. The sun won't peak above the horizon for them in that town until January 22nd next year. It's too long. I can't I don't think I could handle that.
2 months of dark. I think maybe a week would be kinda fun. Right? You'd be in a week, and you'd be like, oh, it's so much fun. Would you?
I think so for the very first time, and then I would lose my mind. Yeah. I would need sunshine or light. I'm sure they do artificial light. I'm sure they do They would have to.
You know? Yeah. Unreal. I don't know how many people live there either. I could look that up, but I'll look it up.
Okay. Spell it. It's pronounced it again. It's it's spelled utqia I was gonna g v I k. How many people live in UT u t q I a q I a g v I k.
Utqiagvik. I've I spelled it wrong. Yeah. I can't see. U t q I a.
Q k I g v I k. Okay. Do you wanna take a guess? 2,300. More than that.
No way. 4,927 people. Just under 5000 people. Of the 2020 census. Okay.
So there could be more. But, anyway, about 5,000 people. How about that? How about it? It's really pretty there.
Yeah. When you can see it. There's probably not a lot to do in that town. Do when it's dark all the time? I mean, you've gotta have a life.
You've gotta go to work. You've gotta do the regular thing. Exactly. What is it? Do it in the dark.
What kind of jobs are there to do? Everything. Just inside. And it looks cold. Never mind.
It's Alaska. I don't wanna go there. What? I'm gonna go to Alaska in the summer. Go check it out.
Okay. I'll do that with you. Yeah. That'd be fun. Go fishing.
What is the average? We go. We're just doing Google now. Hemp. Yeah.
It's it's cold there. Yeah. It's the highest usually in September, 37 degrees. The highest 37 in September? Yeah.
Negative 2 in December. That's the high. The highest negative 2. Mhmm. Oh, well, let's go to a different part of Alaska.
Not go there at all. Let's go, south. Oh, to where it's warm Mhmm. And the sun shines all the time. Ways?
All the time? Yes. Okay. Sounds good. Do you remember the other day you were telling me about that gravy candle?
Yeah. But was it actually gravy? Yes. Sort of? It was just butter in a gravy packet.
Gravy packet. But then you can melt then dip stuff in it? Yes. Gross. Isn't it sound lovely?
I've got a I've got a complimentary candle K. To go with your gravy candle. The fine folks over at KFC Ew. Yeah. They've teamed up with Homesick Candles to create a new candle that you can't eat, but it smells just like a bucket of fried chicken.
Oh, gross. Yeah. So you fire up your gravy candle, get that gravy thick in the air, and then you sneak in that KFC fried chicken. Whoo. Gravy and chicken.
Yeah. I don't know if it necessarily necessarily smells like gravy when you light the gravy. Gravy. How can it not smell like gravy? It literally is gravy.
Slow down. The candle is called, get this, bucket of chicken Bucket o chicken? Of. I wish it was bucket o chicken. It's not, though.
And if you want a sweeter smell, they also did a buttery biscuit candle. I like that. You can't eat it. It just smells like biscuits. I was driving to work today, and I go, I smell what do I smell like?
What do I smell like? I'm in the car all by myself going Oh, great. Smelling yourself? Smell. Guess what the smell is that I smelled on myself?
Fried chicken. Fried chicken. Because I made fried chicken last night. Fried chicken last night. You smell like fried chicken?
Do I? My coat smells like fried chicken because it's when you fry anything, it stinks everything up in your house. It's true. So my coat was hanging on the doorknob in a completely separate room, but it smells like fried chicken. What are you gonna do?
That was really good fried chicken, by the way. Thanks. It was so good. Yeah. You're welcome.
Josh made some wicked good fried chicken last night, everyone. I I wasn't a huge fan of the breading. Oh, really? Yeah. That was my favorite part.
It was okay. I loved it. I wanted to just, like, scoop it up. In fact, if it fell off my chicken, I would scoop it up with my fingers and eat more of it. Yeah.
It was good. Well, I'm glad you liked it. And the potatoes? You made some potato? Oh, Josh.
Yeah. I made potato wedges. Josh killed it yesterday, everybody. Yeah. You did a great job yesterday.

Made chicken strips. We don't eat chicken on the bone because ew. Yeah. Right? No.
I'm not a caveman. You can get it off the bone now. Yeah. You don't have to have it on the bone. Come on.
It's 2024, almost 2025. Get with the program. Boneless chicken. Yeah. It's a way to be.
Forever and always. Come on. You don't need that. You can't eat it. I mean, you can, but A lot of people do.
A lot of people prefer it that way. No way. I disagree with them. Right. That's your prerogative, I suppose.
We all used to be cave people at one point, Josh. And then it was 2024, almost 2025. Boneless chicken. It's delicious. Alright.
It's time to ask the question, would you rather this or that? Would you rather catch a live turkey with your bare hands or clean out the inside of a 50 pound pumpkin. I'm gonna try to catch a turkey. I don't know if I'm gonna be successful, but I'm gonna give it a shot. You have to catch it.
You have to be successful. I'm gonna figure it out then. Okay. I have some questions. What are your questions?
Am I catching a a domesticated turkey? No. Am I catching a turkey on a turkey farm? No. I'm out in the wilds trying to catch a wild turkey.
Yes. You picked it. Sorry. No take backs. I hate inside pumpkins.
You hate inside pumpkins? I hate inside pumpkins. It's gross in there. Stinks. So gross feeling.
It's wet, but also dry at the same time somehow and stringy. Ugh. It's so funny how many people hate the inside of a pumpkin. I've seen a lot of videos where there's kids just just Dry heaving. Dry heaving and sometimes even wet heaving.
Oh, good. I feel like I'm I'm gonna try and catch that turkey. Alright. Good luck to you, bud. I bet you could do it.
I have all you need is a little confidence and the willingness to try. I don't know that a 20 pound pumpkin's that heavy. It's 50. You said 50? I said 50.
Oh, okay. That's heavy. Yeah. Alright. Well Good luck catching that turkey.
Gobble. Gobble. Gobble. Alright. I don't know.

I think we could make one. I don't I don't know how to play enough instruments, though. Oh, we don't need to play instruments. I absolutely this is what I've been saying my whole life. I know.
This is your make it big scheme. Yes. This is your make it rich slow slow Except I yeah. Make it rich slow. I think it's an oversaturated market.
I think there's too many Christmas songs now. It has to be, 1, a standout Christmas song, so we can't do anything that's a traditional song. It has to be a standout, funny. It has to be funny. None of this sad Christmas shoes stuff.
Is that right? Yeah. It's gotta be a funny one. Okay. Not a sad one.
It's gotta be a a big time funny song. Standout. It has to be a standout. Lots of weird sounds and and instruments and horns going pronk. Whatever.
Or it has to be a 4th July song. Right. Well, we'll we'll do both, and that's how we get rich slow. Oh, I love it. Because they only get played twice a year, and we get royalties from when they get played.
Huge royalty. Do you think? I think so. You think? We gotta ask somebody.
Who you gonna ask? Can we ask Bing Crosby? Bing's at a different level. But I also I don't think Bing's around. I don't think Bing's around.
So I don't think you're gonna be able to go, hey, b b bing, tell me about your royalties. Who else could be around? I don't know. Who had a 1 Hill wonder Christmas song? Oh, I know.
Rocking around the Christmas tree. What's her name? Brenda Lee? Yeah. Let's ask her.
I don't think she's around. What? You gotta pick somebody more current. Anyway, this is we'll keep workshopping it, but it's it's not a terrible idea. No.
