I mean Yeah. I didn't have to scrape a little bit of frost. I used the, the deicer liquid. That's the best invention. It's pretty good.

It worked well. Because it was just a real, little skiff of frost. But, hey, listen. If you're, headed out, warm up the car, maybe, or scrape the windows. Whatever.

It is love your lawyer day. I don't have one. Okay. Well, if you did, you could love your lawyer today. Let's see.

Autistic speaking day. That's a big deal. Raising awareness for nonverbal autistic, folks, which I think is great. Mhmm. Fountain pen day.

National deep fried clams day. What's a fountain pen? So a fountain pen is similar to, like, an, like a quill. Yeah. But instead of having a a little thing of ink you dip the quill in, the ink is built into the pen.

Similar to a normal ballpoint pen. But it has that, it has that fine point. Yeah. But that's what it is. About it in my head going, do I know it?

Yeah. I see those. Those are terrible. I hate writing books. Never written with 1.

I think there's a trick to it. You got a calligraphy set. Yeah. Yeah. I haven't used it.

You should try it. I should. It's sitting downstairs. I mean, we got it on clearance, so it isn't like we're in it 100 of dollars or anything fancy. It's, like, $8.

I know. But you should. I know. It's got, like, writing things. I know.

Okay. I know what I need to do. Okay. Cool. National Family Literacy Day.

It's pet groomer appreciation day. I gotta call our pet groomer. Yes. What else is going on? Prime meridian day, which has to do with our longitude and latitude.

It's brush day as in brush them teeth. I did. So did I. Sparkly. Cinnamon day, scented candle day.

Jeez. Cook for your pets day. It just keeps going. Calzones. It like, it they were like, oh, it's November.

We got no time. We gotta hurry up and catch up. It's shampoo week. Alright. Yeah.

It gets a week. Uh-huh. Yep. It does. The most important one on there is pet groomer day because that needs to happen in our house I desperately I know.

To our pet. I know. I'll call the lady. Yes, please. Okay.

She keeps getting snagged in my spiders. I know. Like, because her toenails need clipped. She needs a shaggy haircut. Her eyebrows are, like, hanging in her eyes.

And I know I've been on the other side of that. And then you try to pull them, and it's bad news, Browns. Take care of that dog. Bears. Bad news, Bears.

What did you say? Browns. I had a I had a 6 AM idiom issue. I fixed it. Happy November.

Good morning. Have you ever wanted to listen to video game music when you're not playing video games? Sometimes. There have been occasions where I've listened to, some of that stuff, like, specifically from some video games. But then there's also been, because they'll release soundtracks and stuff online now, for the scores and different, you know, music from different battle scenes and whatever.

So, yeah, I've done that. And then funny to me. And then, when I was in college, there was, a guy named Brian that I went over to his place, and one of his roommates was really into LARPing and Magic the Gathering and those kinds of things and kind of listened exclusively to different kinds of Celtic music. And so, his his place was just filled with it. You felt like you were going back in time.

It was wild. Like, his his whole place was set up that way. Like, he was very into it. He was living it. Okay.

Nintendo announced a new app called Nintendo Music Okay. Which features tracks from games like Mario Kart. Now I don't know about Zelda, Metroid Prime Okay. Donkey Kong, Animal Crossing, Pokemon Sure. All of these video games that you can, just listen to their music.

I've heard enough of the Mario song that I don't need to hear that one. No. It's not mar it's Mario Kart. No. I know.

But it just think about the amount of times you've heard the different songs in Mario Kart Yeah. That's true. To the different levels. That's what I'm saying. But I don't wanna listen to those songs if I'm not playing the game.

Yeah. This is so interesting to me. I think that, like, Zelda is fantastic. Like, the music from Zelda is is great. And there are also, like, people that will take popular versions of songs and turn them into 8 bit versions so they sound like they're from old eighties nineties video games, which I think is cool.

That's a that's a thing, that you could listen to for a little while. But after a while, I gotta take a break. But, like, Halo, I listened to the Halo soundtrack. I just I don't know. Not often, like idea.

I wanna listen to this music this music, but that's just me. These are free to download for Apple iPhone and Android, although you have to be a Nintendo Switch online member to access it. The app is free to download. I see. But you have to have a Nintendo Switch online Account.

Account. Yeah. Well, I do. It's 7.99 for 3 months. The app is free, but you have to have an account, and it's $8?

Oh, yeah. How's that work? I'm so confused. Why download the app? The memberships are 7.99 for 3 months.

Right. Yeah. Yeah. For for but that also gives you the Nintendo online account and all that other stuff. Or you could just play this game and listen to the songs there.

Just play the game and listen to the songs. You're right. Nintendo, why are you trying to why are you trying to get more money out of us? They're they're actually not. Yes.

No. Yes. There's this is a new service for already existing members, which we are 1. So if you want, you can We are? Yes.

I have Nintendo online. You do? Yeah. Look at how fancy we are. Well, that's how we download games.

That's how you play online with your sister miles away. We haven't done that for I know, but that's how. Oh, okay. You have to have that account. We still have that?

Yeah. Okay. Well, then maybe I'll download this. Go for it. Go wild.

I'm not. I don't want to. Listen to your Mario Kart soundtrack. What does she drive imagine driving your car listening to Mario Kart soundtrack. See?

That's dangerous. I know. You'll be like, oh, Rainbow Road? Watch out. No.

It'll be, get me out of here. You're going too slow. What's going on? Banana banana banana. Red show.

Red show. Red show. Mhmm. That could be very, very dangerous. Also exhilarating.

Go wandering through the meadows, listening to the Zelda music. Where's the shortcut? Yeah. Wandering through the Meadows listening to Zelda. Fishing.

I don't know that. In the woods. Oh, it's a beautiful game. The only game I know on this list is Mario Kart. They've got Kirby, Star, Alley's, Donkey Kong Country.

Yeah. So go to go to an old mine shaft. Go to a ghost town Why? And, hop in hop in a train car thing on the little mine track and listen to, Donkey Kong Country. Is that what happened?

While you're riding yeah. While you're riding in a wagon. You'll love it. No. Really set the mood.

I'll probably just I'll just probably keep on listening to the radio because Oh. There's nothing better than listening to the radio. There you go. Okay. I like where you're headed.

I like it. It's smart. Unless you're listening to the podcast, in which case, you know, that's also good. Yeah. Okay.

Got it. Why would you listen to anything else? Yeah. Nah. This is it.

We got everything you need right here. Here's some good news. This is kind of very heartwarming as well. Listen to this. I'm listening.

Swedenborg Elementary School. That's gotta be not the right way to pronounce that, but that's how it's spelled. They're in Missouri. They've renamed the building after their beloved custodian, and I think a school being named after the custodian is huge. It is I think I read the story.

Claudine Wilson is the custodian's name. She's been with the school for over 30 years. Yes. And she not only serves as the custodian, but also a bus driver. She serves lunch.

She's a plumber. Yeah. Bus driver, lunch server, and plumber, and custodian, which is pretty awesome. Yeah. Claudine Wilson.

And to honor her hard work and dedication, the school district officially announced that the building would be now be known as the Claudine Wilson Learning Center. That's fantastic. I also like calling schools learning centers. Yeah. I'm not mad about that.

That's kinda cool. Claudine has worn a lot of hats through her career, but her most cherished role has always been looking after the students. She's she said, I'm not here to say I'm a hero. I'm not. It's an honor to work here.

I just do it for the kids. Claudine. Claudine Wilson Learning Center. I think it's very cool. That's a pretty big honor I know.

To be have a building named after you. I know. It's pretty cool. I like it. They should get her a bronze statue out front.

I wonder if there's, like, maybe somebody who's worked there longer. Like, maybe there's Oh, Brenda. Yeah. And Brenda's like, I've been here for 45 years. So mad right now.

She's like, I've been secretary here for a 100 years. I went hogged this place. After me. Mhmm. You know why, Brenda?

Because you're cranky. Yeah. Calm down. Maybe they'll name something after you. Poor Brenda.

I know. But congrats to Claudine. Yeah. Claudine. This story isn't about Brenda.

Brenda doesn't exist. But Claudine, way to go. Good news to get you going. Hold on, please. I'm holding.

While we hold, hi. Good morning. Hey. Time change coming up, this weekend. Yes.

So don't forget to set your clocks back an hour on Sunday. Spring forward, fall back. That's right. We're falling back. And, so you get that extra hour, but don't forget also to check your smoke alarms Okay.

Since we're here. Okay. It's a a public service announcement while we hold. Are we still holding? No.

I'm I'm good. Here we go. Good. Here we go. Okay.

So this is something I read that is kind of interesting. It is American traditions or holidays that might not exist in about 20 to 25 years. Where are they going? Away. They're gonna become obsolete.

Because people don't want to do them. What's the story? Kind of. Yeah. The people don't wanna do them.

Let me give you an example of 1. Class reunions. Oh, yeah. Okay. Due to social media and people being able to connect via social media rather than meeting in person.

Alright. That makes sense. I understand that. Trick or treating in your neighborhood. They say that's on the list, People say that there are designated areas now that parents can go to, and small communities are pretty much abandoned.

That's interesting. Gender reveal parties Yeah. I could do without. Partially due to people being overwhelmed with baby related events and partially due to, forest fires. Yeah.

You that's happened. That has happened due to a gender reveal party. Or 2. Christmas cards might be dying out. Listen.

We do, a Christmas card thing Not here. Yeah. And how many do we get? Last year? Yeah.

Like, a dozen or so? Yeah. We got a dozen Okay. Or so. Yeah.

Alright. And we'll we're planning on doing that again. I like doing Christmas cards. I do, but it is a lot of work. And, again, this might be obsolete just because, again, because of social media.

And, again, because it it takes a lot of time and effort. I used to hand make Christmas cards. I remember. I was part of that. I enjoyed it.

It did. I didn't mind it, but it was tedious. It was a long it took it just took a long time. I like the method now with just the photo thing, and it works really well. K.

K. Black Friday may become obsolete? Within the next 10 to 20 years? Most of it's moved online, and it's become less of a door buster, wait in line kind of thing. People are saying Okay.

You don't agree? I don't go out on Black Friday. So either because it sucks. I don't, I don't like the crowds like that. There are people who really love to do it.

Yeah. I'm not one of them. Your your friend, in Boise loves it. Loves it. She maps on it.

Yeah. Maps out her attack. She's she's grown. Just don't feel like like, I love a deal, but that feels like manufactured deals to sell stuff. I agree.

You know what I'm saying? Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah.

Yeah. Okay. Like, I like finding a deal. I like finding something on clearance. And, and stumble upon it.

Yeah. And then and then being like, no way am I getting this for this cheap. That's my favorite. Yeah. I love that.

That's well, that's kinda how I feel when I go thrift shopping. I like the thrift shop. And when you do find a good deal, you're like, ho ho ho. Yeah. Treasure.

Hot dog. This is coming home again. Hunting. It is treasure hunting. Yeah.

You do you not agree that some of those things are gonna be obsolete? I don't think Black Friday is going anywhere. I think the in store version of Black Friday. You don't agree with that? I don't I don't think it's going anywhere.

Okay. I think big retail will always take advantage, and they will always creep that thing. Isn't today Black Friday? No. That's how far it creeps ahead.

Oh, that's true. I guess it does. It gets earlier and earlier every year. Yeah. It's always yeah.

I get it. I get what you're saying. Okay. I'm glad because I'm saying it to you. So I'm glad you get it.

That's the probably the one that I I don't think is accurate on that list. I think the way free market and retail and and capitalism and everything else work, I think Black Friday is not going anywhere. It's a giant market. In 25 years, I'm gonna say, hey, Josh. Remember that?

In 25 years. Yeah. We're almost 70. Oh, Josh, remember when I said Black Friday is gonna be gone? No.

I don't. And I was like, roll it. Tape. Yeah. Because who knows the technology that'll be around in 25 years.

You just rewind. And we won't be able to use it because because we'll be too old. We'll be like, I don't get this new cycle. Grandkids showed me how to do this. Roll tape.

I like it. We're still calling it tape. We're gonna be fun as old people, I think. You think? Don't you?

Couple of old fuddy duddies. Fogies? Yeah. Creeping around the house. Wow.

Great. Can't tell. That's what it'll sound like, and you'll just be sitting there, Chantel. Why am I listening to earbuds? So you don't have to hear my crotchety old man voice.

You ready for fashion trend 101? No. What? Oh, yeah. You love fall fashion.

Here's what happened. Yesterday, I saw a woman wearing all white, and as a joke, I said, oh, after Labor Day? Oh. Because I follow fashion trends, so I know exactly what's happening. Sure.

Well, I'm gonna get you up to date because the fashion trend for this, November December is what they're calling frazzled English woman. I kind of look hey. I know. You're gonna love this. So they said gonna love this.

They said it's all about embracing the chaos of the early 2000. So think Kate Winslet in the holiday. Think Keira Knightley and, Laura Linney in Love Actually. Think Renee Zellweger and Bridget Jones. Okay.

Right? Okay. The idea is Been living this my whole life. Listen. English, middle class, working girl, undeniable wit, layering mismatched pieces, that screams, I just threw this on.

I know because you did. It's on. This is it. This is your moment. This is my moment.

Big deal. Holy moly. Yeah. Skinny scarves, off the shoulder knitwear, cardigans, skirts with jewel tone tights. The key to nailing the style is to look effortlessly disheveled yet charmingly witty.

Hey. I know. Hey. I know. This is This is your wardrobe.

Me. This is your moment. Disheveled a little bit. Frazzled English woman. That's what they're calling.

Holy smokes. Yeah. I know. This is I've been waiting my whole life for this. There's more.

Ready? Put your hair in a messy updo with a claw clip, Apply a quick swipe of lip balm, and you're good to go. I almost put my hair up today. I didn't. I might still Bonus points if you carry a supermarket tote bag or have tissues up your sleeve.

I don't I don't have either of those. They're usually in your little pocket. Yeah. And I go, what is this 800 year old kleenex? Oh, sometimes It's dust.

Sometimes I wash them. It's a handful of dust. You're like, that's my tissue. Okay. This is your time to shine.

She's my time. This morning, and I thought, frazzled English woman. I'm married 1. Hey. Hey.

How about now? Look at you. It's my moment. You frazzled English woman. Wear Converse a lot of the time.

Sure. I have different pairs, a couple of different colors and pairs. They're dirty because they're shoes, and I don't understand the people that are like, oh, I can't get my shoes dirty. I'm not gonna crease my my new sneeze. They're your shoes.

They're supposed to get dirty because you walk in the dirt. Well yeah. So That's true. Somebody complimented my Converse the other day, and they were green ones. Yeah.

And I said, oh, thanks. They're they're dirty and grungy, just kinda like my personality. What? It's true. I'm a little bit frazzled and filthy.

And undeniably witty. Yeah. That part, I don't necessarily agree with. No. I just experienced it with the shoes.

I I heard a story about your shoes where you had undeniable wit. It was undeniable. Yesterday was Halloween. Yes. In case you didn't know.

I did know. We our kids are older, which is kind of nice because we spent a lot of years doing the runaround Yes. Do all of the Halloween things. It was exhausting by the end of the night because you had to make sure Oh, you had to go everywhere, and you had to you had to go see fam, and you had to go, you know, wear all the school stuff, and you had to do the trunk or treats, and you had to I mean, there was so much. And then on top of that, for a long time, I had a lot of work obligations on Halloween as well, which created additional stress and, and, you know, fun festive activities.

Yeah. So by the time Halloween night was over, it was we were exhausted. Everyone was exhausted. Our kids are old now, and so it's nice because this is probably the 2nd or 3rd year in a row where we've not had Definitely second. Anything to do.

Yeah. We I handed out candy. I know. We Emery wanted to go out with some friends last night, but because the weather turned so bad, she decided to stay home. They decided that they just wanted to stay home.

I was gonna be their chauffeur and go through the haunted car washes. Right. What I really wanted to do was put on my sweatpants and just hide out in the basement. We kind of compromised a little bit. We still passed out candy.

Yeah. But we only got, I don't know, 12 or 13 groups of kids. You think that many? Yeah. Yeah.

That was just close to that. 7 or 8. No. It it was more than that. It was it was about 12 groups.

I I quiet. I thought it was I mean, it was very sparse. Like, there are big laps of time in between groups of kids. And we've got a pretty big neighborhood, so I'm sure, you know, there's kids everywhere. But I I did see my sister, who she's down in Blackfoot, and she said there were kids.

She's like, there I didn't even know there were kids in this neighborhood, and there are kids everywhere. Like, where are these kids all the time? So I got she's like, I'm outside all the time. I never see any of these kids. Where'd they all come from?

They only come out when there's candy to be had. Right. Did you see any you were the majority of the passing out of the candy. Did you see any cool costumes? I saw, like, some good family ones.

Like, there was a ghost buster family, and it was cool. They showed up when we had the Ghostbusters song playing on the Right. On the house speakers, which was pretty cool. So that that happened. I'm trying to think.

There was a couple of cool, like, ghouls. Just just the most ghoulish of days. Yeah. That's what you said. Yeah.

That were just kind of shrouded, which was kinda cool. Yeah. All different ages. Little kids. I saw a couple of Spider man, costumes that were pretty cool.

Bat dog. Yeah. Bat dog running around the house. Yep. She was the only one in costume last night.

I think she got bored by the doorbell. Like, the last couple times, she was like, I don't even care anymore. Like, the first first handful, she was very upset about it. And so then I would hold her. Yeah.

And then she got she got onto our trick of when the doorbell rings, somebody was gonna grab her, And so she started to run away. She's like, no way, man. I tried to trap her with the blanket at one point because she ran away. I was trying to get her because she's a flight risk. The second the door opens, she's gonna be gone.

So I couldn't grab her. She's quick, and I had a blanket, and I tried to throw the blanket over to blind her at least. No. She dodged it. She dodged it.

She dodged your attack. Get the dog. All in all, a good Halloween. A fine Halloween. And now what's what's the decoration situation?

Because you were talking about taking down Halloween this weekend. You're gonna leave up fall, I assume. Yeah. We don't shift gears till after Thanksgiving. I don't do Christmas till after Thanksgiving.

So we we will be decorating the house for Christmas later. I do need to probably get the outside lights on this weekend, though. It's supposed to be rainy this weekend. Oh, my rain. Just wanna get it before there's ice in the snow.

House? You're gonna Yeah. Be on the roof of the house where it's slippery and rainy? I don't think that's a very good idea. It's a fine idea.

I just don't think it's a good idea. See how it goes Monday morning. I'm wheeled in in here. I I gotta sit for the whole show. You already do.

We already sit for the much lower. Oh, that would be bad, wouldn't it? It would be bad. If you have to raise your arms up on the counter. Just the the all the camera could see is the top of my head.

The microphone would have to be all squatty. It'd be a whole issue. That would be a whole issue. I'd end up having to build some sort of platform to get me up taller with, like, a little ramp thing. It could take and be accommodated.

How about you just don't fall off the roof? I like that option much better. Too. Much better. Our son works he's a forklift driver.

Yeah. He's he's forklift certified. Watch out now. Settle down, ladies. Calm down.

Forklift certified. Coming through. Forklift certified? Excuse me. Pardon me.

Very important business. Forklift certified. I'm not forklift certified. I know. It's a it's a big deal.

It is a big deal. He also works, with stacking pallets. Yeah. And my favorite thing about our son is that he is a pretty evenly keeled personality type. He's he's just real.

Doesn't show a lot of emotion about things unless he gets real passionate about something. It's it's 0 or a 100. And pallet stacks, it's a 100. It is 100. And I'm gonna tell you right now that around town around town, there are some pallet stacks that are absolutely horrendous.

According to him. Well What did he say about this, this latest stack of pallets that we were showing there? I'm gonna see if I can find it real quick. Up to OSHA code. Oh, yeah.

That's part of it. I don't remember exactly what he said. So we found a picture of some or sent him a picture of some pallets, and he said, ew. They're mixing chips, whiteboards, and heat treated pallets. They're stacked too high.

That's an OSHA violation. They have to be stacked less than 20, 20 high, or else it's a fire hazard. He went off on this one stack of pallets. This one stack of pallets is very bad. So if anybody wants, that fixed, I know a guy.

This is from a guy who he does not have a lot of communication. Like, he just doesn't he doesn't have a lot to say rules. Until he has a lot to say. Right. And then he is rolling.

But he he's very much, like, in line with rules, though. Yes. He is. And he knows, like, hey. This is the boundary.

This is the expectation. This is the rule. I'm gonna stick in that in that boundary. He's very good at that. And so when they said, here's the rules, he's like, I got it.

I'm locked in on rules. So he sees people violating the rules, and he's like, oh, it's awful. Emery was reading something last night that said the youngest child is typically the one that will, like, be expected to go to jail. What? I it's just one of those silly things that you favorite place.

No. I'll never wanna go to jail. See? It's scary. That she's the youngest.

And so she said, I don't think that's ever gonna be because be me because I hate going or I hate getting in trouble. Right. She goes, it's more than likely going to be back more than me, and I said, both of you hate getting in trouble. Right. We all hate getting in trouble so much.

I don't know about you. But me and the kids big rule breaker, this guy. He getting in trouble. I mean, of all the stories you've ever heard of me, a lot of them involve me breaking the rules. Squeaky clean Josh?

Right? Yeah. Exactly. Now let me run around breaking some rules real quick. Well, there's a lot of rule breakers stacking pallets out there according to that.

Pallet stacks. Oh, he's so unhappy with your pallets. Mixing the types of pallets, stacking them too high, fire hazard, fall hazard, all that. There's a 20 year old young man out there disappointed in you. Yeah.

You need to work harder on your pallet stacks. Better. Yeah. He's forklift certified. That's right.

If you didn't hear. Coming through. Forklift certified. You got a little badge, flashes, forklift certified? Forklift?

Like, an all access backstage pass? I don't know that I'm not certified in a forklift. Do you wanna be? It's a big deal. Do you wanna be?

Yeah. Kinda. I'm sure we could figure out how to make that happen so you could be forklift certified Forklift certified coming through. Excuse me. Very important forklift business to get to.

You know how you can say what you want about people that you love? You can complain about them as much as you want, but when somebody else does it, you're like, oh oh oh, no. You don't get to do that. Only I get to do that. Yeah.

I mean, you gotta stand up for your people. Yeah. Yeah. There was a coworker here that was talking smack about you yesterday. Well, I you got a text message from a friend who said, hey.

Over on K Bear, that guy is is talking smack about Josh. And so this morning, I pulled up the audio because we have the ability to do that. We rolled tape. That's right. Roll tape.

Roll the tape. I can, I can go back and listen? And so I was listening to what he had to say, and it wasn't it wasn't, like, dragging me through the dirt. She said the k Bear guy is bashing on Josh, talking about his weird food tastes, how he hates Reese's and ketchup, said he only likes old guy food and bit of honeys. And I Bit of honey is delicious.

Oh, really? Bit of honey is delicious. Great candy. Delicious. Good and Plenties are awesome.

Black licorice and black jelly beans are great. We've learned you gotta have it in moderation over the past few days. It's all true. He does have old man taste, but that's my complaint. I like what it is.

Else's. And it's not a complaint. You're my little old man. But also my eating habits affect everyone else not at all. I'm not saying anyone else has to eat what I eat.

Well If you don't like black licorice, fine. Don't eat it. You put limits on us, your family, because you won't let us eat breakfast for dinner. I don't stop you. If you want it, go for it.

It's It's not like I'm standing in front of the fridge going, no. Stop. Don't eat the breakfast for dinner. I can't. It's not ever happened.

If you want it, go ahead. Knock yourself out. Have a good time. I will have dinner for dinner. What was the he wasn't really bashing you.

He was talking about Halloween candy more than anything, and I don't particularly like Reese's at all. I like Reese's Pieces, but I don't like the peanut butter cups, mini ones, big ones shaped like a Santa, shaped like a tree, shaped like a bunny. None of it. Because the peanut butter is sweaty. The peanut butter's sweaty, and I don't like it.

It is. You're not wrong. I still eat it, but you're not wrong about the sweaty peanut butter. Wet? I don't know.

I don't like it. And it's one of the most favorite candies of all the people in the whole land. It is. I could do without it. And then he went on to say that you hate ketchup.

You have weird taste, and you hate ketchup. Right. I don't like ketchup. A lot of people don't like ketchup. That's a common I eat ketchup on.

Like, if I order a cheeseburger and it comes with ketchup, I don't sit there and try, no. Not ketchup, and scrape it off. Oh, I'm so sad. It has ketchup on it. It's nothing like that.

I deal with it. I'm a grown adult. I eat the burger. It's fine. If I have the option of getting it the way I want and it's, you know, without ketchup, great.

Some ketchup. Great. And but I also don't go out of my way to be like, no ketchup on that. Like, it's fine. There are certain times I will dip fries in ketchup, and that's okay.

And I get called out on it every time. They go, I thought you hated ketchup. And I go, yeah. Like, 98% of the time. And 2%, I'll eat it on fries.

If fry sauce isn't available, which, yes, I know has ketchup in it. I'm aware. I like tomatoes. I like ketchup sometimes. Well, he called you out yesterday.

Yeah. We're calling him out today. Yeah. Take that. Quit talking about people that I love.

Also Thank you for being mama bear. Jeez. Bit of honey is delicious. Yeah. It is.

So you'll you can never talk smack about bit of honey. I'll fight you over that one. I I wanna know what his he's he's calling me out for saying I have this, mature palate. Like, yeah. I like all kinds of foods.

I like different kinds of ethnic foods. I like to try lots of stuff. I'm all good with it, but I have my limits. And he's like, you're a picky eater. He's not really.

No. You're really not. Like, I really, I it's mushrooms. I don't like mushrooms. That's top of the list.

Hard pass for you, for sure. You've got a little you got some weird food rules to be sure, but you'll eat pretty much anything. Soup isn't a dinner. Your heart thing. Yeah.

Soup isn't a dinner. Breakfast belongs in breakfast. Those are really the rules. And cold sandwiches. All day.

Sandwich is not a dinner. A hot sandwich can be a dinner, but a cold sandwich is lunch. This is it's simple. They're not they're not hard. Listen.

I've been living with these rules for 20 years, and some I have to deal with. It is my cross to bear. Not not really. It's mine. No.

But I have to live with those rules too. I mean, you just accommodate me. You you you keep me in my in my lane, and I appreciate that. You're like, I guess we won't have cold sandwiches. And it's better for everybody, really.

It's not. Because I mean, it's just fine. Cold sandwiches are still delicious anyway. Lunch. They're great.

And you know what goes really well on the side of a cold sandwich? Soup, not a meal. Yeah. It's a delicious meal. Unless it's a hearty hearty soup.

Heading into soup season. I'll have you know. So I know. Ready for some soups. You are a soup gal.

I got some soup on the menu this weekend. I know. I have a loaded baked potato soup I gotta make. That's a hearty soup. That's a meal.

Oh, that counts? I told you. Chili counts as a meal? Hearty soups? It's when somebody goes, here, have a bowl of have a bowl of, of tomato soup.

And I go, where's the rest of the meal? Because this isn't it. That's all. Tomato soup. A bisque even.

Delicious. Like a creamy one? Yeah. So good. Oh, soup season.

So I'm down the hall. I had to run to the restroom, and I said, oh, I've got, 3 minutes. Dua Lipa songs a little over 3 minutes. I'll be back in time. I'm running down the hall.

And as I'm turning the corner to come back, I hear 45 seconds, George. So I said, okay, Jack now. That's that's that's you and me communicating through the office. I know. Everybody else gets to be a party to this thing.

45 seconds, Josh. It's you and me and one other guy here for about 2 hours. Yeah. From 6 to 8 Yeah. We are the 3 people here.

So it's pretty quiet. We're able sometimes we leave the door open. Right. At 8 o'clock, everybody starts to arrive, and I forget about that sometimes. I forget that there's other people in the building.

But I often wonder if they're so happy that they're a part of my naggy wife situation. Second, Jack. Okay, Chantel. Or if they're secretly like, ugh. These 2.

Who made the decision to put this married couple working together? What a terrible idea. 41 seconds. Okay. It's a it's a it's a parody of life is what it is.

It's just it's hysterical. But this is this is how it is. This is what it is. So, you know, deal with it, I guess. I have to.

Good job making it in time. Oh, yeah. Plenty of time. You wouldn't have without me. You you're correct.

Good? Good to go? Yeah. Oh, yeah. Good to go.

I hope they I hope they play good to go. We just did. Yeah. No. Good to go.

It was a different thing. We live with a teenage girl, And I'm not saying it's a challenge, but it's a challenge. That girl and this is what I told her last night. I wanted to raise a strong willed daughter. I did not want to deal with a strong willed daughter.

I just want her to be strong willed for other people, not for me. Oh, yeah. No. Yeah. That's, you get it all or nothing.

Holy smokes. Yeah. Emotions were high last night. I know. We were trying to find a movie to watch.

We couldn't decide on a movie. And then she when she gets frustrated or unhappy, she kind of shuts down, and I don't know where she gets I don't know where she gets that from. Definitely. I definitely Me neither. Do not do that.

Tiptoe around this one. Yeah. That's weird. Never seen that anywhere else. The complete shutdown.

I absolutely know she gets that from me. I totally that is either a trait that she's inherited or that she's learned from me because that is absolutely what I do. When I get frustrated or upset, forget about it. You can't talk to me. I wanna be left alone.

I'm not making any decisions. I shut down. She did that last night, but nothing makes me more angry than when she does this. So let me ask you this question. If that's a trait that you also have, what pulls you out of it?

I don't know. I couldn't even tell you the answer to that. The key to unlocking that door. I I know, but I don't know what it is. Me neither.

So that's why I just tend to go, I'll be over here. Leave you alone. Have a good time being grouchy. And then you show up, and you're like, why are you avoiding me? Like, I'm not.

I'm just kidding. I'm right here. Safe. What do you need? I know I knew she wanted to watch a scary video, but a lot of the movies, we couldn't access.

They just weren't on any of the streaming services, but she would not tell us what she wanted to watch. Listed off 15 or 20 or 50 different shows of, like, what about this one? Just watch whatever. Oh, yeah. Just watch whatever.

So then I picked 1. Yeah. I said, how about this? I've heard this is really amazing. Let's watch this.

And then she threw her head back and went, and I went, what? What do you want to watch then? Nothing. Wanna pick. It's fine.

It's fine. Just pick something. It's fine. So I did. I picked something Yeah.

And she was not happy. About 15 minutes in, she said But listen. You were not the cause of the frustration. The cause of the frustration well, kinda. Kinda sorta.

You're kinda sorta the cause of the frustration. Because the frustration started at dinner because Oh. We we decided we didn't wanna cook. It's Halloween. We're just gonna chill.

So we just went and grabbed some food, and they got her order wrong. Yeah. And that set the the tone for the rest of the night. It absolutely did. You're right.

And that was not my fault. But But that's that's where I kinda go, like, I understand it's not, but also when you were looking at the receipt, you were kinda like, yeah. I did not order the thing that you wanted. I ordered this thing. And she went, well, I'm not eating that thing because that's not what I wanted, and that's a gross item.

And so that that set the whole night. And I said, just eat it. And then I opened it, and I went, no. I don't eat that. Looked at it and went, I wouldn't eat that either.

So she was like, I'll find something. It's fine. And then that was that just was the downhill roller coaster. And then she was hangry, and then it was all bad. Right.

See, it's, it's cozy jammies, a warm blanket, food, bath. Pick pick a thing. That's how you pull out of it. That's the key. Yeah.

Yeah. And some alone time, but also not alone time. Yeah. That makes no sense. I sent it to you.

You sent me a thing the other day. Yeah. Of the lady who said, I woke up early, and I really am enjoying being alone, but, also, it would be great if my husband would get out of bed and come hang out with me, but also don't. Yeah. But, also, leave it out.

Most confusing thing ever. Would you get yourself figured out? Come snuggle with me, but also don't. Right. I it makes perfect sense to me.

But, also, I'm awake, so you should be awake. That's another But, also, I don't want you to be awake because I'm enjoying my alone time. Yeah. But, also It's lonely. Yeah.

You make no sense. It makes all the sense in my brain. So just figure it out, Josh. Sure. Figure out the rules.

Yeah. No. You know what I'll do? My own thing. You can come find me.

I'll be doing my own thing. Fine. And I'll hang out with you when you show up. I'll be like, oh, hey. What's up?

I'm doing my thing. How's your thing going? Good? Great. I'll be over here doing my own thing.

Come do my thing with me. You don't want me to. No. I don't. See?

But I kinda do. Yeah. But too bad. I'll be doing my own thing. Hey.

Hey. What's up? What's going on? This Friday, I know that's going on. That is going on.

How are we doing today? Far Friday. You had an experience. This was, what, back in was it April? I think so.

Yeah. It's been a it's been a few months. It's been a while. Back in April, we, were visiting some friends in Boise. We just found out that this place closed down.

This place was cool. It was a restaurant, and they had, like, a little arcade thing set up in there. And it would the way the restaurant's kinda set up is, like, instead of walking in and it's just tables and you get seated, like, it's just kinda open. And you kinda go, and they've got sort of like different little, like, living rooms set up. It's kind of a cool vibe.

A really cool space. And, and you just kinda hang out in in whatever little group. They like, they've got little intimate corners, and they've got, you know, bigger, you know, groups where you can fit, you know, 10 or 12 people around a big table. And then they come over, and they get your food, and they bring it to you. It's really kind of a cool concept.

Yes. So we were hanging out there, because we were over in Boise for, a friend's birthday. And we're hanging out there. And they had one of those punching bag machines where you try to see how hard you can hit the punching bag, and it puts a you know, on the digital display, it puts the numbers up. And, I don't know.

What's the highest punching bag score? Do you know? Oh, probably 65 tops. It's a lot more than that. Well, I guess it it tops out.

It only has 3 digits. So it only goes to 999. Okay. And the highest it's the highest possible score. In 2021, a guy named Eddie Hall broke the previous record of 998.

He delivered a haymaker that, hit 999. What's a haymaker? A crazy punch. Okay. So I know we were trying to see how high we could get the number to go, and I don't know what I was hitting, but I know what you hit because it's on video.

Here's the thing. There's there should be a record for the lowest score, and there should be a record for the highest score because not everyone can hit the low score. The score you hit amazingly was 1 1. 1. Couldn't do it again, could I?

No. You couldn't. You hit it with just the right amount of force to score a 1, and you you took 3 wind ups. Like, this video yeah? Let me look.

Yo. Yeah. You line up your home a couple of times. 1 Uh-huh. 2 Yep.

3. And then you hit on 3? Yeah. I hit on 3. And you scored 1.

There were some random kids standing nearby Yeah. That were watching. They were like, watch this. You hear them in the video, and you hit 1. And everyone around went, what just happened?

Like, how did you pull that off? Amazing. I am just that good at life. I'm killing it. Killing it at life.

I just it's good to know that if you ever decide to punch me, it's gonna feel like a one. Oh, it'll hurt. Like a one. Yeah. It's gonna hurt like a one.

It may not hurt physically. Oh. But I'll hit your emotions real hard. That's how it that's how I make it. 9 99 the emotions Yeah.

But one the pain. Yep. Because I don't wanna cause a lot of pain. Clearly. But I wanna hurt you emotionally.

So be prepared for that. I am not gonna be prepared for that. You won't be. You can't prepare. You can't prepare for the emotional abuse I'll throw either way.

Some kinda crazy spider monkey. Like, what do you can't prepare. I'm gonna drop from the tops of the trees. You won't even see it coming. What are you talking about?

Just know it's coming. No. It's not. And, also, I'll probably see it on the way and just step aside, and it'll just go right past. Yeah.

And then I'll probably trip over. Yeah. And I'm like, what are you doing? Oh, how They're like, I was trying to hurt you emotionally. I'll be the one with the bloody nose.

Right. How's that going, Courtney? That's that's how I life. That's the that's how I do life. I'm pretty good at.

Well, you're you're big number 1. I'll tell you that. Number 1. Because you you you probably thought that meant you got first place. Probably.

I actually really was trying to hit that. No. I saw. Punching bag. You really were.

We gotta work on your form. You gotta take a boxing class. Okay. You need to. I would be happy to do that.

I think that would be a lot of fun. What's the guy from, biggest loser that lived in Shelley? Moses. Moses. Yeah.

Yeah. Yeah. I took a boxing class from him, and, and that was that was pretty great. Nice. So you should you should try that.

I'd be happy to. I could use some upper body strength. I could use some self defense. I could use some form. You need form.

Yeah. Number 1, you need form. And I was trying to even coach you, give you, like, follow through. I did. Don't take your eyes off of it.

I did all of that. You got a one. I feel like you could you could get a 200 if you tried. We had a friend that sent us that video last night and said, this is my favorite video of all time. I'll never forget this.

Video. Yeah. And you said, as you're laughing, can I post this Yeah? For the world to see? Yeah.

Everybody's gotta see you hit that one. Everyone's just mocking me. So I'm gonna put that on, on reels and shorts and everything so you can see Chantel score on a one. Cool. She's pretty pretty awesome.

I'm pretty good at stuff. Like I said Yeah. I'm pretty good at life. Yep. Just Number 1.

So good. Number 1. That's you. I am almost excited for cold weather because I hate cold weather. I hate being cold.

I hate the snow. I hate it all. But I'm excited about it because we've got a lot of house projects I wanna do. Oh, no. No.

No. No. Yes. No. No.

Yes. Let's not be excited about that. Well, we have a basement that I wanna paint. There's some holes that being patched in the basement. I sure wanna paint the basement.

Yeah. I also, yesterday, stumbled upon some black counters in a kitchen, black cabinets. That. You sent me a picture. Yeah.

Sometimes you'll do that. Uh-huh. And then, you know, I know about it, so that's good. I really want them. Yeah.

So I wanna paint. Because you want the slat ceiling to go with it too. Yeah. And I'm and I'm thinking, is that gonna look good with the floor? I don't know.

I know. I'm not too much. The same direction as the floor, or can it run the other way? Oh, it might be too much because our floor if it is or not. And the pallet wall Right.

Do we change the pallet wall? If we change the pallet wall, then we have to put it on new drywall. No. We just have to put something else on that wall. So what I'm talking about, home projects, man.

Yeah. Yesterday, we were talking about doors. No. I don't want Why not you want new doors? I haven't finished the one door.

No. I've got 2 unfinished doors right now. 2? Yeah. What's the other one?

The whole pantry closet, linen closet, medicine cabinet thing in the bathroom Yep. Yep. And the door to the theater. Yeah. That's the other project.

I wanna redo the bathroom. I gotta paint ceilings, and I gotta paint ceilings. Ceilings, and I wanna retile the bathroom, and I wanna put wallpaper up. I know. And I know.

So here we go. Let's see. November, December, January, February, March, April. We got 6 months. I'm it's just too expensive.

Hobby. Who wants to go snow machining? That's too expensive. Think of all the money that we could be using on a home improvement projects. It's fine.

I don't need you. I can do these home projects myself. I'm just saying, I'm gonna get to painting. Alright. Get to painting.

Get some I've got I've got to take apart the library downstairs to put in the No. Yes. It's gotta be done right. That's gonna be a project. The whole thing is.

The whole thing is. There's a hole in the ceiling that you gotta patch in the basement. That just needs a cover. I'm not patching that. Oh.

Because I'm gonna need access to that down the road. Okay. So that just needs a cover. Okay. Fine.

We got some projects. Who's we? Bleh. Would you rather this or that? Would you rather have a first date that's totally silent?

Oh. Or have a first date that never stops talking about themselves. I've been on a date where he was completely silent, and then he would call me on the phone. And just be silent? And just be silent.

That's real weird behavior. Very odd behavior. It was horrible. That's real real strange behavior. Mhmm.

Why'd you marry me? No. No idea. I didn't. Yeah.

Yeah. I didn't marry you. Imagine? Married. Would I make it in radio?

If you were silent. It was Just just Awful. So I'm gonna go on a date that never stops talking about themselves because at least then there's some conversation. That's one way, but there's conversation. Hope you can get an edge, a word in it otherwise.

It is horrible to have a date where the other person does not talk. And I would ask questions. They were they were answered with one word answers. Like, they were very, like, brief and quick. It was awful.

Awful. So I'm going with somebody who never stops talking. That's my vote. Okay. What are you picking?

Yeah. That. Because of the same reasons as me? Sounds right. I didn't have a bad date experience or anything.

I just, that sounds right. K. Good choice. I I couldn't I mean, it'd be weird to sit in silence unless you were weird. Unless you're doing an activity that required it.

Like I know. Like, let's play the quiet game and just see just see who could win. It was horrible. It was awful. You don't think it's gonna be that bad?

It's pretty bad. How long was the date? I couldn't I couldn't tell you. Years ago. Couple hours ago.

Years ago. No. Not how long ago. No. I know, but I don't remember.

Yeah. It was But you gotta sit through a couple hours of that awkward. I think it was dinner and a movie. So the movie was fine because I was like, finally. Like, at least there's something to do, and I don't have to keep trying to make conversation.

Yeah. Well, would you rather listen to that? And that's gonna wrap up the show. Gonna do it for the week. Yeah.

Now we get to have a weekend. Halloween's over. It's November. We're working our way toward Thanksgiving. You got a long, old honey do list.

You were just talking about it. You got I got this project and this. Got a long list. Oh, I don't know. What else did I say in there?
