Full show transcript:
All right, as we get ready to kind of talk about today's show a little bit, I've got a fun little thing to share with you, but I do want to remind you that you can indeed reach out to the show. We'd love to hear from you. Wake up Classy97 at gmail.com is a way to get in touch with us. We're also all over on social, so you can, you know, hit us up on the messages on all of the social apps.
We're at Classy97KLCE everywhere. Check it out. Hot gift item for the year. It's a furry companion robot. It is now available on Kickstarter. They won't ship until April of next year, but it is. It is quite the hot little gift. You ready for it?
I'm ready, I guess. You want to know what it's called? What? It is called Mirumi. M-I-R-U-M-I.
Mirumi. And it is available for pre-order on Kickstarter between $120 and $150. And it doesn't really do much.
OK, cool. It looks around. It turns and cocks its head from side to side. It detects nearby people and appears to focus its gaze and attention to those people.
It will act bashful and turn its head away if someone suddenly appears or touches it. So it's a pretty simple gadget for a hundred and something dollars. That's just a little puff ball that you can just have hang around like on your bag or whatever.
It's a furry companion robot. Interesting. I want to know if it's collecting data. I write.
Because I feel like it might be collecting data. And I also feel like you're going to have a better companion with a rescue pet at one of the animal shelters. OK, fair. So go get yourself a cat. Go get yourself a dog.
A real life rescue pet. They need love. They will be your companion. They'll follow you around.
I'm just telling you right now that this thing. Here's the thing I like about this inverse to adopting a pet. This this could replace the people that have to have a fashion chihuahua.
And I like that. Yeah, but the fashion chihuahua people aren't going to. They don't get animals from the shelter anyway.
No, I know. Which means they're getting them from like puppy mills and all that stuff. So I like that this could this could entice those type of people, the the fashion chihuahua people away from that and more into this space because it's a little expensive. It's less.
The chihuahuas are not the fashion icon anymore. I think. But you know what I'm saying.
It's the golden doodles. You know what I'm saying. Yeah, I do. Like my dog is my fashion accessory, folks. Like that. Yeah.
That's where this is marketed. It's got a little. I can't. What you're saying. Have you seen the video of it? No. It's kind of.
I mean, it's cute. And that might actually be true because they don't have to clean up after that. That's what I'm saying.
I see what you're saying. You don't have to feed it. You've got a one time expense. But it's I'll tell you, it totally taps into the LaBoubou market. Hmm. Because everybody's looking LaBoubou's to their bags. Yeah. This is going to make a dent in LaBoubou. Oh, LaBoubou. Yeah, it's Mirami.
And it's available for well over $100. LaBoubou don't. Yeah, I tried to make a play on words. It didn't.
It didn't work. Let's start the show. OK. All right.
Well, pretend it didn't happen. Here's today's show. Good morning. Good morning. What's up? It's been a week since Thanksgiving. Has it really? Yeah.
Well, that was a fast week. That's kind of what I was thinking. I was kind of thinking. How has it been seven days already? But here we are.
Hopefully you're not still eating on those leftovers. Yeah. Get rid of those. You should have gotten rid of those three days ago.
Mm-hmm. Today, however, is the great day to make sure you are on the right side of Santa's list. Because today is the day that the list arrives for Santa.
And we know he's got to check it twice, at least twice. So today's a big day. Hopefully you're on the right side of that thing. What do you think would get you kicked off the list? Oh, bullying people. Yeah, don't do that.
Don't. Being mean to animals. Yeah. Not listening to your parents.
Right. These are all things I think would get you on the wrong side of the list. Don't get on that list. You don't want to be on. You don't want to be getting cold. Have you ever gotten cold for Christmas? No.
Me neither. Yeah, I've always been on the nice list. So make sure today, Santa makes his first run through on the naughty or nice list. So be on the on the good side of that one. It's a good one to be on the right side.
I try to be on the good side. It's also National Cookie Day. I know both you and I like a good cookie. I love cookies. You crazy?
Yeah. Cookies are the best. You know, people eat an average of 26 cookies during the holiday season.
And I feel like I've already hit 26. Have you? I haven't hit anything. I haven't had any cookies.
What are you talking about? OK. You haven't had any cookies. I eat Biscoff cookies. Emery made a whole plate of cookies. Cookies are everywhere. There's always cookies. I know you've been eating those Chinese cookies.
Oh, all right. And I know you've been eating the cookies that Emery made. Yeah, but I haven't had those since November. If we're starting to set. You haven't had those since November.
Yeah, yeah, yeah. It's December the fourth and I think you ate one yesterday. No, I didn't. I had a Milano cookie yesterday.
Yeah, that's what those are called. But I didn't have a chocolate chip cookie. Those Chai Milano's. The chocolate chip cookies, they go, I don't like them after a certain number of days. So I've stopped eating those probably a week ago. Now, I did have a Biscoff cookie. You're right about that one. So I've had two cookies, the Milano and the Biscoff. Yeah.
Wow. Calling me out to Milano's talking about two Milano's. No, I had two cookies. You're telling me you only ate one Milano. You open that bag and restrain yourself to one Milano. Two varieties of cookie. How many Milano's?
26 cookies during the holiday season, they say. Wow, just throwing me out of the bus back there. A big old cookie bus.
Jeez, the breeze. Well, I'm not the one out here going, I don't need cookies. No, no, no, that was a little bit of bullying. And I think. Oh, you think? You're off. I don't think so. Can you hear me?
I think you had a little bit of fibbing, which might put you on the other side there. No. Yeah. Yeah. Uh-huh. Get out of here. All right. Well, hey, good morning.
It's Josh and Chantel. I need you to do some research for me. Okay. I just read something that said, when you add bubbles to your bath, it keeps the water warmer for a longer period of time. Uh, interesting. So I need you to see, fact check that for me, would you?
Uh, yes, a bubble bath keeps the water warmer for longer by acting as an insulator, the layer of bubbles, traps a layer of air on the water surface, which slows down the heat loss from evaporation. Nice. And convection. So that seems to be true. Nice.
Now, how much longer? Yeah. Is a good question. Um, okay.
Somebody said that they, uh, they don't usually take baths, but the top was covered in bubbles, and an entire hour later, the water was still hot. Really? Yeah. Hmm. I need to use more bubbles then.
And more regularly. Mm-hmm. That's what I need to do. Yeah, apparently it works. I don't know. Okay. Good to know.
Thanks for doing the research for me. Now, I just need to get more bubble bath, so that my water stays warmer longer. Have you ever been in- I think you have to have that big bubble layer though, like when you were a kid. Yeah, that's what I'm talking about. I gotta use more bubbles. Oh, okay.
Okay. Here's the problem though, because you have to stay still. Every time you move, the bubbles diminish. Stay still. What do you, what do you gotta do in there? Sit down. What? This is not a time to sit and do cookies. No, sometimes there's stuff to do.
You gotta wash your feet. You know. No. I don't do baths. I know you don't, but you should.
Have you ever been in the bath so long, you've had to run the water again, because your water's not in cold? Are you kidding me? I'm not. No.
That's happened to me on multiple occasions. Yeah. And this is why the water heater is empty of hot water. Yeah.
Because you're taking two baths. Yeah, I mean, yeah. Yeah, I mean, yeah. You gotta keep that water warm. Just take one shower. Sometimes I do, Josh, but sometimes a bath is what's needed. No.
You could use a nice, relaxing bath. I'm telling you, I can't do it. It weirds me out. Wait, why do you- I don't want to sit in there. I don't want to sit in the tub.
Did you hate baths when you were a kid too? I don't know. I don't know.
We're gonna have to ask your mom. I've been showering for a long time. And, you know, at least middle school and high school and all of my adult life, I have taken very few baths. I probably have taken five baths. It's so few.
That you can remember at least. Like we had a stand-up walk-in-only shower, like when I was in middle school. We moved to a different house and that house had- No bathtub? Didn't have a bathtub in the bathroom that my sister and I used. The upstairs bathroom had a bathtub. We see sometimes we go in the parade of homes and we see some of these houses that don't have bathtubs and I go, no, I would never buy this house.
Because you have to have a bath. Yeah. I get it. Like I understand there's a relaxing thing to it. It just weirds me out so much. It makes me laugh.
And you know what? It might just be our tub. Maybe it's our tub. Maybe if we had one of those fancy, you know, not claw foot, but you know, the modern looking- Like a jet tub? Maybe a jet tub.
I don't know. Even that. Like our friends in Utah have a jet tub and I look at it and I'm like, no, I couldn't. Really? Yeah. Oh, I could. I couldn't.
I could. Now, I do like a hot tub. I like soaking in a hot tub. I know that's the same as a bath. No, because I shower before and after and then I go sit in the hot tub and I'm only in there for 15 minutes or so. Okay, don't.
I can't do it. You take a nice movie or a nice book, some tub snacks. No, that all is gross.
I can't. The shower has a purpose. I shower, I get clean, I get out.
The shower does have a purpose, but so does the bath. Yeah. Yeah. The shower is, yeah, I need to clean myself.
The bath is like, yeah, let's soak these old bones. Yeah, I don't know. It just is weird to me. Yeah, well, it's not to me.
I did it. It's not weird to a lot of people. Now that I know the bubbles trap in the heat.
Yeah. Well, maybe there will be some water left over for a shower. Guess who's using a lot of bubble bath, this old gal. Go get some of that stuff that smells like bubble gum. That stuff's good. Makes lots of bubbles. Mr. Bubbles? That's it. Do they even still make that?
Of course they do. I don't think that's probably safe. You don't think so? No, I like the same guy that makes Epsom salts.
Yeah, the Dr. Teal. Yeah, yeah, I like that bubble bath. But doesn't make enough bubbles? If I use enough. If? I'm gonna have to use more.
That's what I'm saying. If you get the one that's made for kids, it's gonna make a ton of bubbles. I'm not gonna use that one. I don't want that one. I like the Dr. Teals. You know why?
Because it smells like milk and honey. Wow. I'm very angry about your bubble bath. I'm trying to get me to buy something I don't want. Get the one with the Spider-Man head on it. I don't know if they make those anymore. Of course they do. Of course they do. Of course they do. They put faces on everything they want kids to buy. They go, it's got Spider-Man on it. That's true. They do that.
It's got Dora on it. They go crazy for it. They do.
You're right. K-pop Demon Hunter bubble bath. Go get some. Dr. Teals.
Is it what it is really called? Good job, Josh. Thanks.
Good job knowing that. A nine-year-old boy in Texas, his name is Jack, and he is brightening the days of kids who were stuck in the hospital this holiday season. Over the past month, Jack has gathered hundreds of stuffed animals through his charity effort, which he calls Jack's Bravery Bears. That's a good name.
Yeah, it is. So many stuffed animals flooded in that he and his family are now lovingly calling their home Teddy Bear HQ. And now with the holidays approaching, Jack will be donating the toys to patients at Nationwide Children's Hospital.
Again, he's in Texas. It all started when Jack's family volunteered last year, making blankets for kids at Nationwide. And while helping out, Jack was inspired to add something special to the gift. He wanted a teddy bear to go with the blanket. And the simple idea turned into his first teddy bear drive, where he collected 445 bears.
This year, his goal, 500 bears, which is pretty great. Jack says the best part isn't growing a pile of plush toys. Instead, it's imagining how much joy each one will bring. He said they're going to be so happy. Yeah, they are.
Which I think is really cool. Jack, that's so nice. Jack's Bravery Bears, all started by a nine-year-old boy in Texas to make smiles happen at hospitals this holiday season. Way to go. That's nice. Yeah.
It's good news. You know how the Wizard of Oz is playing at the Sphere in Las Vegas? I like the Wizard of Oz. You know, this 4D experience?
It's really cool. Shaking seats, wind, fog, fire. Snow, etc., etc. Yeah. Butterflies. Apples.
Fake apples falling, flying monkeys. Right. Do you know how much a ticket is to see that? I do not. Let me tell you. Okay.
119 for nosebleeds and 377 for the front section. Are you for real? I'm for real. They are making, where did I see that? Oh, crud.
No, I can't see where that went. They're making like a ridiculous amount of money every day. There it is.
$2 million a day they're making on this. No way. Yeah, way. No way. Yeah, way. You said it's how much?
119 for nosebleeds. Okay. Well, I'm going to tell you right now. I can get tickets. I can get real nice tickets for 139 on like good seats.
And then the next throw up. So you're saying I'm a liar? No, I'm just telling you. I'm looking right now at tickets. I'm looking at tickets for this Sunday if you wanted to go. Tickets in the nosebleeds are 104. But good seats I could get for 169, 139. 139.
I could get really good seats. Okay. Well, in the middle.
Disproved me in the middle. Yeah, like good seats. I kind of want to go not just because I like the Wizard of Oz because I actually don't care for that show, that movie.
And I don't like the way that they treated the actors and actresses that were on set. All right. And like the witch, the paint that they used on her. Oh yeah.
Burn your skin. Yeah. The way they treated the little people, not great.
Not great. And the lion, the cowardly lion, where it was a suit made out of actually of lion skin. Real lion skin. And he would sweat in it every day and they're like, no, put it back on. And the Tin Man had some problems. I can't remember what happened to him. Oh, it was that same deal with the paint.
Burned your skin. Yeah. Oh yeah. And Dorothy.
You can't be painted silver for that. It treated Dorothy terribly. Making her like eat diet pills. Yeah. Smoke. Yeah.
She was a kid. Yeah. So I don't necessarily want to support the movie, but I do kind of want to see it in the 40. I agree.
I think that experience would be something else. But yeah, I mean, honestly, I can get, I'm looking right now. I mean, there are some tickets. Like there's, there are some crazy tickets. Like this ticket's $682.
You know, this ticket's, uh, oh no, that's because I have multiple tickets selected. Never mind. $433. For one? For that one ticket. Yeah.
See? So you can spend a good chunk of money, but you don't have to. Well, that's what I'm saying.
They're making a lot of money on these tickets. 2.2. No, just two.
$2 million a day. Yeah. Well, that makes sense. And here's what's interesting.
The Wizard of Oz when it came out in 1939. Sure. Was a flop. Was it? It lost 1.1 during its initial run. 1.1. It lost 1.1 what?
Million dollars. Oh yeah? Yeah. 1.1, huh? No way. A whole 1.1. That's interesting.
I know. I kind of want to see it, but I also, I don't know. I don't. You know what I mean? I understand.
Because... But even like, I went a little bit closer to Christmas because I wanted to see if prices went up. I can still get pretty decent seats for $1.50. Okay. I mean, it's expensive. It is expensive. If you were going to try to take, you know, a family, that's a lot of money. I don't want to take a family. That's what I'm saying.
I would just go myself. I don't know. They have like 1, 2, 3, 4 shows on Christmas day. Here's the thing. What is it? Let's create this in our own house. The sphere?
Yeah, yeah, yeah. I don't have the technology. I do. No, you just want to throw stuff at us while we watch the movie.
I get what you're saying. I'll get a fog machine. No.
I'll get some apples. It's not the same. Let's see, what else do they have? Shaking seats.
I'll come over and shake your seat. Yeah, no, that's not the same. That's like budget for D. Yeah. That's just you throwing things at people. Yeah.
And then not knowing the right cues. And so you're going to go, oh, here's the part. Hold on. Pause it.
Okay. No, there would be no pause. It'll just come after. Dornado will hit.
Yeah. House will fall. And then I'll be like, oh, fans, I need fans. So I saw this a couple of days ago. There's a bit of a debate going online right now over whether the buildup to Christmas is better than Christmas day itself. And it's an interesting argument because you have all of the excitement of getting ready for it. You have all the buildup to Christmas Eve.
Yep. And then Christmas morning is great. But then by the time you get there, you're going to have a Christmas day. And by the time Christmas morning is over, it's the day.
Right. And so people are saying like, yeah, actually the whole idea of building up to Christmas, preparing for it, shopping, wrapping all of the excitement of getting to the day is better than the payoff of the day, which is an interesting, it's an interesting argument that people are having. Well, because have you ever sat at Christmas and then you go, you sit there. After all the presents have been opened.
Sure. And then you go, hmm, it's over. Right. Like now it's over. And then all that's left is, I mean, look, we take it so lazy, easy on Christmas day, which I love. And then eventually you're like, all right, we got to get like the, like back to reality. We got to start taking down everything and the house transitions back into the normal house.
No, no, no, no, I'm not saying not on Christmas day, but like, that's what you have to look forward to. Leading up, you've got, we're putting lights on the house. We're setting up the tree. We got Christmas coming. We've got Christmas bacon coming. You've got Advent calendars. We've got Christmas recitals and concerts.
Right. You're counting down how many sleeps till Christmas. There's all this like build up all these activities, all this anticipation, and then you have Christmas day, which is a great day. It's a great day.
It really is. And we, for years and years and years, we decided we're not traveling. We used to travel on Christmas and we finally said, no, we're not doing that anymore. And so we stay put.
Yep. We stay in our pajamas. We watch movies. We take a nap.
Sure. We have a breakfast. It's a great day. It's a fantastic day, but you're always kind of left with like, now what? Yeah.
Now the gifts are open. Then you got like breakfast and then you got, yeah. Then you go like, all right, well, now what?
Now what? Yeah. And there are some years where it's like, we've got Christmas here and Christmas here and Christmas here. And so we end up having like, like this year we will have a Christmas thing in January because it's just the way schedules have lined up. So it'll be like still some residual Christmasy things happening.
And you got new years to look forward to, but even that's not the same. No. Right.
And it's not like you've got like, oh, we got to put out all the new year's decorations and we got to get the new year's hats out and we've got all these new year's activities up to New Year's Eve. That's not happening. That's not a thing.
That's not a thing. So don't go telling all of the stores. They'll be like, well, we got new year's candy. We better sell you. They already have that stuff. I know, but they'll find more.
They'll find new ways to get you to spend money on stuff. Anyway, kind of an interesting conversation, but it does make a little bit of sense because there is so much going on in the buildup and then Christmas Eve and you got to hustle to get to bed. So, you know, Santa can do his thing. It's a whole thing. Yeah. And it's lovely. Isn't it fun? It is fun. It's a lot of fun.
I can't even wait. As a grown woman. See? I'm like, I can't wait. It's fun. I know it is. There's magic in there.
It's fantastic. Anyway, that's the conversation happening online. And now you know about it. I'm worried about you.
I know. I'm worried about me too. I don't think you're going to make it through the day. I don't. I'm not. How are you going to make it through the day without your emotional support water bottle?
I know. The first thing I hear this morning, I left my water bottle at home. I got it already, but fresh ice and fresh water in it. I left my water bottle at home. And then I put it on the coffee table to head out the door. And I got here to work and I grabbed my stuff to come in. And it wasn't there. And it wasn't there. And I went in the car.
I did this. My water. My water. What are you going to do? I don't know. Do you have a backup? No. Do you have a plan to run home on your way to work?
No. Here's what I'm going to do. I do have, I do have a cup here. A cup.
There's a, it's a. Is it an open cup? No, it's not a cup.
What? It's not a cup. It's this. What is this? What would you call this?
A tumbler. Yeah. Yeah.
I have one of those. Use it. I will. Because I'm already parched. Oh.
I drink water all day. I know. What am I going to do with that? My water bottle. I've already gone an hour and a half. Mine just stays here.
Why? It's right here. It's where it lives. Where do you drink out of water when you're at home? A cup at home. This is my work cup. I see. I should get a work cup.
So it just stays here. And then I have a work cup all the time. That actually isn't a bad idea because, hmm. You're going to need, you got two jobs. You're going to need a cup everywhere. Right. I just get tired of hauling mine around everywhere. Right.
So it's not a bad idea to hold. It's like a work sweater. Remember when I had a work sweater?
Yeah. I've thought about leaving a sweater here. You should.
I've done it before. Like the one I'm wearing today is a nice one. I could leave here and then I would have a sweater here. The problem is that you can't, sometimes you're cold and you put your sweater on. Right. And then you're like, I'm so comfortable with my sweater that I'm going to wear it home. Yeah.
And then you don't have a sweater at work anymore because you've taken it home. You're right. I know.
But, but what about a work water bottle? I know. I need one. Well, you've got this one here that you already have. Just use that one here. Okay. Done.
All right. And then are you going to be okay if you don't have, because you, you use your emotional support water bottle. It goes everywhere. It goes everywhere. It's in your car. And you're not, you want to have water in your car. You like having water in the car. I do. I do like having water in the car. And then you, it's on your nightstand at night too.
I know. You have that water bottle everywhere. It goes everywhere.
Right now it's sitting there abandoned. Lonely. Yeah. Going, where's my emotional support human? Exactly.
She abandoned me. It has all my nice stickers on it. Right. All my favorite stickers. Yep.
And guess what? I only have the one. A lot of people have like, cupboards full of their standlies.
Oh, for sure. I only have the one. And yours is one brand? It's not a, it's cheap.
It's no brand. So what I'm saying is let's get you a couple more. Okay. And then maybe you can have one at work. I mean, you've got this one here, but maybe you need one at your other place and then an extra one in the car.
Yes. These are great ideas. Why so many water bottles? Because I sometimes forget one. You never know when you're going to get perched.
That's true. You never know when you're going to need to hydrate. Are they all going to just always have water in them?
Yeah. Some of the water, some of the water might get tepid. You know, when I, No, not tepid water. Here's a fun story.
Okay. When I first learned that vocabulary word, tepid. I was, I don't know, a kid, but then I would walk around drinking water and I'd say, tepid. Why?
Because you thought you were fancy? Tepid. Tepid. No, you have to go. Tepid.
No. That's a good story. Thank you. I'm glad you shared that one. I'm full of them. Do you want to hear another story? Do you have another one? Yeah.
No, I don't. Okay. I was waiting.
I thought you might have another one. Do you know what tepid actually means? Like lukewarm. Yeah. Good job. Yeah. I thought it meant kind of like foul tasting. No. Because you know how like water's been sitting there for a while? It kind of has a funny taste.
Yep. Tepid can also mean showing little enthusiasm. This water is very non-enthusiastic. That performance was tepid. The story might have been tepid. Ouch.
There's another instance of bullying. You're taking off of the night. No way.
Nice list. Twice now. That's not bullying. Yes, sir. No. I'm actively listening. I'm calling Santa. Oh, stop it. You know that scene in Christmas vacation where Clark is really anticipating his Christmas bonus and he's like, I'm going to put in a pool with my bonus. Have times changed or am I just not working in the right industry? I've never been in a job where I've gotten a bonus so large that I was like.
I'm putting in a pool. Yeah. That is quite the bonus. Not that I haven't been appreciative of my bonus. Sure. But I've never been like, oh, I can't wait for that giant bonus I'm going to get. Yeah.
That's never happened. Apparently there was a Christmas bonus heyday between the 60s and the 80s and employees would hand out literal envelopes of cash as gifts to employees. Here's your Christmas bonus.
It's a Christmas bonus. And you'd be like, oh, oftentimes it was one week's pay. Really? There would be a bonus. Yeah. That was given on the last workday before the holidays and managers and executive level employees often received even more because they were important. Yeah.
But that tradition has since all but vanished, which is sad and interesting, isn't it? Yeah. I just, I can't even imagine what I would do with a pool enough to put in a pool. Well, is a week's worth?
Well, I don't think I make that much. I was going to say you're still not going to be able to get a pool, but also a pool doesn't make sense in Idaho. An indoor one does. Well, then you're going to need a lot more. You're going to need a triple bonus.
Or the jelly of the month club, which was what he ended up getting. If you remember. I do remember. Yeah.
Anyway, I just think that's interesting. It certainly isn't like it was. Did it say why that went away?
Corporate greed. No, I don't know. It doesn't say. But that's my assumption. You heard it here first. Josh is against corporate greed.
Yeah. Who isn't? Who out there is like, no, no, give me more of that. The higher ups. Well, yeah, the corporate greed. The corporate greed.
The greedy, the greedy corpse. Give it. Yeah. No, no, no, no, no pool for you.
No, no, no. I kind of do want a pool though. You do?
That'd be awesome. No, I don't want to maintain a pool. I don't want to maintain a pool either.
That's why you hire a pool boy. Oh, great. Yep.
So we use my bonus to build the pool and your bonus to hire a pool boy? Sure. No. Absolutely not.
It's not how it's working. And then you build a cabana. Oh, here we go. Cabana boy. No, no, I don't need that.
I really just need somebody to take care of the pool. Yeah. I don't know other intentions. Just clean out the filter. Right. Just do what I'm begging you.
Scrape the leaves off of it and then go away so I can use my pool. Exactly. All right.
It's a good answer. Tell me how shopping went yesterday. I asked you to stop at the store and get some stuff for dinner. And then I got home and I heard a mouthful from Emory. Apparently I don't shop right.
Apparently you bought the wrong sauce. Yeah. You would send me a text. First of all, every day when I pick her up from school, it's, should we get a refreshment? Do we need a treat?
And I, and I go, no, we don't need a treat. I've been working all day. I got stuff to do at home. I just want to be home.
That's why you need a treat. I don't want to go through a drive-through. I don't want to be social with somebody. I just want to go home. That's it. It's the end of my day. I'm ready to go home. So she says, what about, what about treat? What about a refreshment? And I said, no, I do have to run to the store though, because mom sent me a list of errands. I got chores.
She was like, what? And I said, well, I've got to go to the store and get all the stuff for dinner. And then I've got to go home and I've got to do laundry.
And then hopefully I can sit down before she gets home because, you know, and we got to cook. We got to deal with, there's just a lot to do. I don't have time to go get a refreshment.
I gave you two chores. Yeah. So sorry.
Pretty big one. Grocery shop and wash the sheets. So I have to take all the sheets off the bed and put them in the wash.
It was a whole, that's one of the bigger chores. Like doing the laundry, taking the laundry basket down, put the wrong clothes in. That's a no big deal. But taking the sheets off the bed and the pillowcases off the pillows.
It's a whole thing. So I wasn't excited. So I went to the store and I, she told me I was walking quick. She was, you're high stepping.
She was, why are you walking so fast? And I'm like, cause I don't want to do this. I want to be home sitting down.
I don't want to be grocery shopping right now. So she's like, I can't keep up with you. I have little legs. I'm like, I know, I get, it's okay. I'm just in a hurry.
I just don't want to do this. So we walk in, she was, what do we have to get? And I said, we got to get spaghetti sauce. And she goes, yes.
Cause she's like, spaghetti. So I said, let's go do this. She's like, do you need to get hamburger and stuff? He said, no, I've got some in the freezer.
Okay. Can we get bread? And I went, I said, I think we have bread at home, not like garlic bread. I said, let's just get a bread then and we'll put garlic on it. So I go to the bread and I get the, the, like all the bread was kind of hard and I was not in love with the crunchy crust. And I was like, this one's kind of soft.
I think this will be good. And it was a long baguette. It's like two feet long or something. And she goes, that's long bread.
Okay. So I'm walking down the aisles of my long bread. Get to the spaghetti sauce aisle. And apparently I got the wrong kind because I just got tomato and basil, not spicy tomato and basil.
And I said, you can add red pepper flakes if you want it spicy. That's, it's fine. She's like, that's not the one mom gets.
I'm like, it doesn't matter. I got sauce. Do we need noodles? I went probably just a regular kind. She brings over angel hair and thin and I went just regular spaghetti. He got all these weird noodles.
So we got the things we went and checked out we left. I never heard the end of the sauce. So even when she's eating it, it's not spicy. You're welcome for dinner. And the laundry got done. And I did get to sit finally. Thank you. Jeez Louise.
I didn't know that that caused such a kerfuffle. I was tired. I wanted to just chill out. Well, and that's why I asked you to go because you get home before I do.
Sure. When I get home, it's dark and really cold. And I said, I'm not going to want to go to the store. When I get off of work, right, Josh is already out and about.
Maybe he can just do this, which I did. And I was fine. No, that it was such a I'm just glad that the place she likes to get refreshment isn't directly between the school and the grocery store, because I would have no excuse every day. Does she ask you every day? Well, I admire her persistence.
And then when I tell her no, the next text is you hate me. Look, right here, Tuesday, Dutch to take to mom. And I said, it's snowy and traffic is bad. And I just want to go home.
And I got a bunch of stuff to do. You never want to go. You hate me. And then yesterday, Dutch to mom today.
Every day. Well, it's one sweet that she's thinking about me also. Because she's trying to use it as a ploy. It's fine to get me to be nice to you so that she can be a beneficiary of the of the pass through. Like, Oh, you want to do something nice for mom? You want to be nice to me?
I'll never complain about that. And she knows that if I was the one that was picking her up, I'd be like, and I said, Well, how about maybe on Friday when we're all together? But, you know, what, you're picking her up today, right? Yeah.
Yeah. So I won't have I don't have time today. Oh, you're gonna hear about it.
You are gonna hear about it. She's like, Oh, just walk, like walk where over yourself. You don't need a treat every day. Well, maybe if you bought the right spaghetti sauce, she wouldn't need a treat for child.
Ridiculous. Who is the person on your list that is the most difficult person to shop for? Every person. Because I'm terrible at it. You're terrible at shopping or paying attention? Oh, no, I'm good at shopping.
I'm just terrible at finding the right gift. Because I think Emery is very easy. I can. Oh, sure.
I can whip out 60 presents for her. Right. No problem. Yeah.
I often have to stop myself from buying from her because she's so easy to buy for. Right. Beck is very tricky. He's you think? I mean, I know what he likes. Like, I could think of a bunch of stuff right away. I can think of a bunch of stuff too. But then it's like, I don't necessarily know if he's gonna like it as much as I think he is. If that makes any sense.
I get what you're saying. I think you are difficult to shop for. You think I'm difficult to shop for. Same kind of thing, though, as Beck, where I know the things that you want.
Yeah. Sometimes the things that you want are a little out of my price range. And so I go, I can buy him this one big thing or I can buy him these little things that are the same amount of money. I've been trying to be a lot better at filling out my online wish list to try to give multiple different ideas in things that I'm into.
Here's the thing though. Like, I don't necessarily, for you specifically, I don't want to shop off your wish list. I want to think of something my own self that's like, he's gonna love this. Like maybe it's something you've said to me in passing.
I don't want to get something that somebody else can get you by shopping off your wish list. If that makes sense. No, it makes sense. So I've been stewing on it for weeks. Yesterday I had an idea. It actually came to me, popped up in my email and I went, huh. And I actually almost texted you about it.
Oh, don't do that. I know. I know. I know.
I know. Here's the thing about you keeping secrets that makes me laugh is that you will have an idea like this and you'll follow through and then Christmas morning comes around, stuff gets unwrapped and you go, you knew that was gonna be there the whole time, didn't you? No, because I didn't give it any thought. You get all weird about surprises and when people shop for you. Like there are already wrapped presents under the tree with your name on it. I know it. And it's making you crazy. Making me nuts.
I do. It's making you crazy. And that's what's fun. And it's two things. I don't like that.
You're right. It is two gifts. Well, what are they? If you, I like surprises. People think I don't like surprises, but I like being surprised.
Yeah. Just tell me the surprise now. Don't make me wait. That's not how surprises work. I don't like the anticipation of a surprise.
Can't open till Christmas. I know. And then I also have FOMO where I go, there are multiple people in my house who know what those in the house knows what it is except you. I hate that.
I hate it so much. Because months and months and months ago, we were somewhere shopping and the kids found some something and I went, oh, that's brilliant. And they were like, we're going to get this. And I went, cool. The kids, about the kids? Yeah.
Everyone in the house knows. I love that. Those are the kind of gifts I like though, where you're randomly shopping and it's like, oh, this person's going to love this. That's the kind of shopping I like. Right. And now it's been a mission to make sure you don't purchase anything between months and months ago and Christmas.
Yeah. I don't typically buy things for myself. I know that's true, but we just have to make sure.
Because it would be way less of a great surprise if between the months and months and months ago and Christmas morning, you did purchase a thing for yourself and it was something that was wrapped under the tree. That would be sad. That would be very sad. That would be really sad.
Right. So that's the hard part with me and Black Friday. We don't like to go out and do Black Friday shopping because I'm not that into it and neither are you. But if I'm going out to shop on Black Friday, it's hard for me not to be like, that's a good deal for a thing that I want. And then end up taking a gift away from somebody. Exactly.
And then here's the thing. When I do shop for you, I always think it's a really great idea and then I'll buy it and then for the days leading up until your birthday or Christmas or whatever it is, I go, this is a terrible idea. He's going to hate this. This is stupid.
Why did you buy this? That's not how it works. What a waste of money.
He's going to hate every ounce of this. Has that ever happened? No. There you go. But that's never going to change my mind. That's what I'm saying.
It's just you. So I have this idea for you and I go, that's actually really cool. Yesterday I thought that.
Now today I go, oh, here we go. That's so great of an idea, is it? And I feel like, I don't know, it's hard because I feel like I know you better than most people. So it's not even like I can bounce the idea off anybody else and be like, do you think he's going to like this because even if they go, yeah, he's going to love that. I'll be like, you don't know. I'm like, I do.
Well, it's so dumb. Christmas is stressful. Yeah.
That's why I said everyone on the list is hard to shop for because I go like, I do the same thing where I go like, this is an idea, but are they going to really love it or use it or enjoy it? I don't know. Exactly.
I have no idea. I know. And I hate, sometimes I just hate the idea of a list. Like people are like, this is what I like because if you know me, you should kind of be paying attention and know what I like. That's fair. But that's unfair to people because. Well, not everybody has the time to be around or whatever all the time. Exactly.
Yeah, I get you. But that's why the wish list is good though, is because it gives people the opportunity to go, oh, okay, there's truck stuff or there's fishing stuff or there's books or there's, you know, hats and clothes or whatever. There's all kinds of stuff. I totally love and appreciate the idea of a list.
I also hate it at the same time. I'm a lot of fun. When I was doing the Secret Santa thing with the internet, where you just have someone randomly in the country that you get paired with. Yeah, that was fun.
Which was cool. But then you have to like learn about that person. Like this is a stranger.
Like I know nothing about them. And you have to go through their internet profile and see what they've talked about or what their interests are or whatever to kind of figure out what you might want to send them as a gift. It was a cool little puzzle that you kind of had to solve in order to find a gift that this person might like. It was a really fun thing. You enjoyed doing that. I only did it for a couple years, but it was really fun. Yeah, it was fun. Sometimes I felt like you put more thought. That's exactly what I was going to say.
And did those gifts that you did for your family. Yeah, because it's a different kind of puzzle. Yeah. But you're like, why are you so worried about the stranger? You don't put this effort into buying a gift for me. Focus on all of these other people we have to shop for. Like I got to find my mystery secret friend a gift. I got to do it. Anyway, should I buy you that gift or not? Sure. Go for it. You're going to hate it.
Well, probably. Big day for me tomorrow. Yeah. Big. What's up?
I'm going to be alone. No. Yep.
Let's fix that. No, no, no, no, no. Yeah. You're going away. You're going on a camping trip with the Scouts. Yeah.
Beck is flying to California to visit a friend. Yep. Every is hanging out with her friends. So, every will be back during the night.
So she's only going to be gone a couple of hours. There was just a small glimmer of hope. I was like, how can I ruin that?
Why would you want to ruin that? Oh, it sounds fun. It does sound fun. No, it sounds fun to ruin it. No, it sounds awesome to be alone.
It sounds like I should cancel plans and just be home. Why do you hate me? No, it's not that. I just think you would rather have my company. No, it's not that. And be alone. No. Here's the thing, Josh. I love you very much.
Yeah? We spend a lot of time together. Not enough. You're too far away right now. We should move the room around so you can sit right next to me. No, it's okay. We'll be good. You sure?
Yeah, I'm sure. Oh, no. No, we're so good. I promise you. It's cool.
I'll show up. Why are you trying to ruin this for me? Because you're excited about it.
Excited. I know, which is exactly why you shouldn't be ruining it. No, it's exactly why I should be like. But here's the thing.
Here's what happens every time I'm alone. I think about all like, the sky's the limit. I can do anything I wanted to.
Yep. And then here's what I do. I go, okay, well, I can't really do what I want because I need to throw this load of laundry in or I need to sweep the floors or I need to do this so that I can just relax. Yeah, no, you got to relax first. I know.
I'm learning that now in my old age. Okay. So what should I do?
I think I'll go in my craft room and do some crafting. Wow, maybe. Uninterrupted. Watch a show.
Yeah. Do whatever you want. I am going to do whatever I want. And it's going to be awesome.
And I'll just be right there next to you. Why? Bugging you.
You're not. You're going to be gone, which is exactly why it's awesome to be alone because I'm always being bugged. But I'll just be around to bug you. I'll be like, hey, where's that thing? Hey, the dog's looking for you.
Exactly. You'll have the dog. If I could get rid of the dog, then I'd really be in heaven.
But the dog will be there. You're a little buddy. I know. She's easy, though. All I have to do is give her some peanut butter.
That's true. She'll be occupied for at least that lick, lick mat thing. She preoccupies herself with that thing. So if I give her a little bit of peanut butter on her lick pad, she'll be preoccupied for at least 45 minutes. Wow.
I know because I've done it before. And then she'll all of a sudden show up and go, she was on one this morning. She was. Normally, she isn't so vocal about having to go outside. But this morning, she was very much like, why are you taking so long? Hey, you have to go to the bathroom now. You have to put on your shoes right now. I don't know why she makes that noise at you. That's just what she does all morning. Settle down.
Funny. Well, all right, we'll see what we're up to tomorrow when I'm bugging you. It'll be a good time. You're not. You're gonna. I'm gonna what? Not be around. Settle down.
Go away. We've been married for 20 years. This year, we celebrated 20 years of marriage. I saw things. You believe that?
It's crazy. I saw a thing today that said, before you agree to marry someone, you must, and I mean must, do these things. Okay. See where they keep their thermostat.
Okay. Find out when they like to leave parties. Are you a, that's a big deal. Cause some people are like, I'm a little bit anti-social. I don't like to hang out the whole time. I like to show up late, leave early.
Other people are like, no way. I'm there the whole time. I'm there early. I shut it down. Yeah. Yeah. Watch them load a dishwasher.
Okay. See the state of their PC desktop. Oh boy, that's a big one.
And here the voices they do for their pets. Oh. You think the desktop is a big one? Yeah.
I didn't know any of these about you before we got married. That's a true statement. But now that you've seen how I keep a desktop, how would you say that is? You keep a clean desktop.
You're darn right I do. You are very particular about your desktop. I hate them covered with icons. I've worked in IT enough that when somebody goes, my computer's being weird and I go look at their computer and I go, how do you find anything? I can't. Mine is not as clean as yours, but it's not as chaotic as some others.
You know what else I would say? I would say another one to add the list because not a lot of people necessarily like their work computers. I would say a lot of people spend more time on their phones these days than with their computer outside of work.
Let me see you how many icons you have on your phone. Okay, but it doesn't matter to you, does it? No, it matters. No, it doesn't because this is my love, not yours.
What does it tell you? Okay, you're pretty clean. I have four. Yeah. And then do you have another page? Yes. And how many are on that page?
Two, four, six, eight, 10, 12, 14. Yeah, I have none. I know, but... And I have one page and that's it. Big whoop.
One, there's nothing. I just have the shortcut icons because every app is just a swipe up and I have every app that I could ever need. I don't need a page of icons. Every app is right there. Yeah, but... Every one of them.
Okay, time out. If we're dating, imagine we're dating and you see my phone and it's covered in apps. You're not covered in apps though. No, I know, but what if I were? I would feel like you were a cluttered person. I'd feel like you had too much going on and you were disorganized. And so that would be cause for you to be like... Well, look, I would also argue that if you had your phone set up so that every time you installed an app it automatically put a thing on your home screen.
Yeah. I would feel even weirder. I'd be like, you don't know the settings in your phone to turn that off?
You don't know the settings in your phone to turn that off? See? It's a good thing we didn't know this stuff. We got married before cell phones were even like this. Smartphones weren't a thing. Right. We had cell phones.
We didn't have smartphones. It's a good thing. Why is that a big deal to you? It makes me crazy. Why?
Why? Is your phone in developer mode? No. Is mine? Yes. Can I go in and change every little nuance of my phone to make it do what I want?
You bet I can. I don't expect that of every other person. Right. Because that would be unrealistic.
But I would expect you to know a little bit more about your phone than just using all the default functions. No. Because that doesn't matter to how I am as a person, Josh. A default person? I'm not a default person.
That just means I spend less time on my phone and more time making connections with people. Oh, wow. Isn't it?
See? This is a good conversation. It is a good conversation.
Right. This is one where you would go, I'm glad we had this conversation because now we understand each other. I don't understand you at all. Why do you expect me to be in developer mode on my phone?
I don't even know what that means. Do you know how to turn developer mode off? No. Okay. I don't even want to.
Or on what I mean? I don't even want to. Okay. That's fine. You don't need to.
Your phone does what you needed to do. And that says a lot about you as a person too. What does it say about me?
I don't know. That I like to have full control of my device. That's why I have an Android and not an iPhone.
One of the main reasons I like to be able to control the entirety of my device. Who cares? Me. I'm a nerd. You are a nerd. This got real intense. Well, listen, you know, you bring up computer icons.
It's a slippery slope. A couple of days ago, yesterday, actually, we got an email everybody in this corporation. Corporation? At this radio station. Got an email from our marketing assistant, Maddie, who said, to commemorate the end of the year, I'm putting together a 2025 River Bend recap video to play at our Christmas party. Now, if you know anything about me, I love a slide show. And it doesn't even matter. Happy, I'll cry at every single one.
You put it to music, man, I'm laughing, I'm crying. I love a good slide show. It doesn't even have to be good.
Put some pictures to music. I'm done. Done.
I love it. All right. So I've spent the better part of the last hour looking through my photos, looking through my videos so that I can add. Are you sending embarrassing stuff?
Not embarrassing stuff. Okay. I mean, you, yes, you are. No, no, no, no.
No, not embarrassing stuff. You can look. No, I know. It's public. Yes. Like everyone in here can see it.
That's why I'm asking. Because she's asked us to put, I'm the only one who's submitted any pictures so far. So everybody else in this office needs to step it up. Yeah. I don't even know if I have pictures.
I know you don't take anything. I was just, I just loaded a bunch of pictures, but now I'm going through my videos. Like we take a lot of videos and pictures. That's true. We do a lot of stuff for socials. Yeah.
Hmm. Like I had pictures of us with our, remember when we had the amphibians? We had the reptiles. Yeah. Yeah. That was cool. Yep. I had some pictures and videos from that.
I had, when our number one fan Carter came to visit, I have that picture. That's a good one. I had some good stuff.
Some prom photos, some fourth of July photos. Okay. Look at you. We've done a lot of stuff in this year here on Classy 97. Look at you, like, compiling and, you know, whatever.
Listen. Memories. Memories.
I love a slideshow. Yeah. I love it. Do you like making them? I've never had to make one before.
Yeah, I know. I've been around people who have had to make one and they, I don't enjoy making them. Nobody.
Nobody. I've had to make this type of thing in the past for like three or four years. I was in charge of making the end of year Christmas party recap video. I hate it. I hate it. You and I were on an adult leadership training course and we had to put together a slideshow for the end of it, not a fun time.
No. Because you have to make sure you're getting equal representation of people and that everybody's got a photo. Yeah, you have to make sure you get everybody. Not too many of one group and oh, it's just a pain. It is a pain to make them.
I haven't ever made one, but I've been around people who have and it is, it's a big job. I'm also incredibly like anal retentive when it comes to like the way the song segue and if you just fade it out, like do better. Like, you know, so I feel bad because, you know, for Maddie, I'm going to be judging it the whole time.
I'm just kidding. She does great work. She does. She's very, very good. You're going to watch that video that she makes. I'm going to be like, this is awesome.
That's way better than anything I could make. Yep. And that's why she's in charge of it and not me. I know.
I'm so excited. I've never done this at any job ever before. How fun.
I mean, because you do these like when you go to like a KL, like a summer camp or if you go to graduation, but a work one where you're like, Hey team, this is everything we've done for the year. You're excited. I'm so excited. I see it.
I see it. I'm glad you're submitting stuff. Hey, listen, don't embarrass me too much. Listen, you're the ones, you're the in the photo.
So the only one embarrassing you is you. Wow. I found an old, my old senior slideshow from 1999, baby. I watched that. Yeah. I was there and I went, Oh, that song's over now.
Okay. I don't know who that song's over now. I don't know who put that together. Not you. Not me. No, weird. I was in that, I was in that slideshow a total maybe of three times.
Good thing you spent money on the VHS copy of it. I couldn't even tell you half of those kids' names. I would just go with them for how long. Years. Don't remember them. Some of them, it's fine.
You can forget some of them. Yeah. Okay.
I'm excited for the slideshow is what I'm going to say. I gathered that. Look at you. You're all excited. I am excited.
Just don't embarrass me too much. I have to work with these people every day. I don't, I don't decide what gets put on the slideshow. I'm just submitting ideas to you. All right. Well, thanks for taking pictures and videos. It's good.
I'm glad somebody has some stuff. Somebody else needs to jump in on the game and submit some stuff. It's only you. It's only going to be me and you in the slideshow.
That's right. Besides a sled, what have you used to go sledding? Well, I'll tell you, it didn't work great. No, I didn't know.
But we tried. They sell, at the time, it was only a couple of dollars and it's this aluminum pan that you can put under a vehicle when you're changing oil and stuff so that you don't get oil on your garage floor or wherever you're changing the oil. And that big tray was, I don't know, four dollars.
It was super inexpensive. And we decided, what if we greased that up? That might be fast. We were living in Pocatello at the time. We went to Bart's field with this makeshift cookie tray. Well, then they built a baseball diamond in the middle of it. They built a baseball diamond on our sled hill.
How could you? I mean, I'm sure that people still sled into the baseball diamond, but that's fine. Anyway, that's where we were prior to that baseball diamond being built. And we went out and we tried and it didn't work. Why didn't we just buy a sled? I don't know why we didn't just buy a sled. Because the tray, they were probably sold out.
Oh, maybe. There's no, like, we probably were like, we don't have a sled. Let's go get a sled.
And then went, they don't have a sled. What can we make work? Well, the other part is, at the time, we used to do stacks. Now, when you say we, this didn't involve me. Oh, it did. This was you and, no, this was before, before me, when you would do stacks, as you call it, which is just where you stack people up on top of each other and see how many can go down the hill in a pile. And I think that's how it ends up. Everyone in a pile.
That's the most fun. Okay. Oh, golly. That was fun. Those were the days, man.
I think we got six people stacked at one time. Yeah. Good for you.
Yeah. It was good for us. It was so fun. But I think maybe, I feel like maybe we got the, the oil pan because we were like, oh, this is going to be great for stacking. I think you probably thought that because you're thinking it right now, but there was no stacking.
It didn't work. In case you're wondering, like, oh, that's a great idea. In case you're a dad out there, Chevy Chase style, that's like, yeah, we can go fast down that sled hill. If we oil up that, do you know, they sell that real metal disc? They do. Now that's going to fly.
Yeah. Some answers from other people who did not use the sled to go sledding. Mini pools, a trash can lid.
No, that doesn't sound like that would work great. A truck hood? A truck hood.
Blow up costumes. Okay. A surfboard. Uh-huh. Cafeteria tray. Small.
Small. Yeah, they call it the slippery racer Christmas vacation, Griswold Saucer sled. Oh man. It's a name that rolls off the tongue. The slippery racer Christmas vacation, Griswold Saucer sled. Come on. They want like $55 for it.
Get out of here. Does it come with the oil that he uses? No, but it is a metal tray.
No, thank you. It's the original Griswold Saucer sled. When was the last time we haven't gone sledding in a couple of years? We got to go sledding this year. I love sledding. I love it. We don't have enough snow yet to snow. I know.
In my opinion. Um, you know the first time we took back sledding, he was more into the hot chocolate than the sledding. Yeah. He was like, no. I wonder if you ask him today, like, hey, you want to go sledding?
I bet he goes, no, I'm good. No. Where's the hot cocoa? What about if there's hot cocoa in the back of the car?
He'll be like, I'll just stay there. It's fine. I was like, what, dude, let's go sledding. This is going to be awesome. He's like, no way, but can I have another cup of hot cocoa?
Because I really like that. How old was he? Three? Yeah, he was little. So funny. I know. Anyway. Happy sledding season.
Be careful. Would you rather this or that? Would you rather be Frosty the snowman or Buddy the elf? I'm going to choose.
I'm going to say first because you always think I'm copying you. I'm choosing Buddy the elf. I'm choosing Buddy the elf. Why are you choosing?
But let me tell you first. I'm choosing Buddy the elf because he doesn't go away. I want to be around all year.
Yeah. I don't just melt and then come back and go, happy birthday. I'll be back again someday. Yeah, someday. Where does he go?
Where does Frosty the snowman go? So do you remember in elementary school when you learned about the water cycle? No. Oh, look that up. That's where. Okay. Oh, Frosty.
It's part of the water cycle. So we don't really know when he's ever going to come back. Someday. I'll be back again someday.
He wouldn't be here today. I mean, there's some snow out there. I want to be a little patchy, a little sticky. A little sticky? Yeah. If you roll up a snowball right now, you're going to have all that weird grass and leaves and sticks and it's not a good snowman. True.
So I want to be Buddy. Yeah. Also, he's just so happy. I know it. And Zoey Deschanel.
So when? That's not a plus. You don't get a plus one. You don't get Buddy, no, no, no.
Yes. You don't get Buddy and Zoey. You just have to be Buddy.
No, I'm Buddy. I understand. Married to.
To me. Thanks. Okay. I'll be Frosty then. Wow.
Not really. Christmas ruined. Well done. You've ruined it.
Hey, would you rather this or that? And it's also going to wrap up our show. So, hey, thanks for hanging out with us.
You're in the naughty list. Do you know what tomorrow is? Friday.
Yeah, it is. Friday. Okay. Friday.
What? We'll see you then. Okay, we'll go by. Okay. We'll go by. Okay, see ya.
