Hello. So today is Thursday. It is August 15th. That means we are around noon today, halfway through the month. Oh my.
And into, September, we head very quickly. Isn't that It's in That is wild. Insane. It's absolutely wild. Today, take it easy.
It's National Relaxation Day. Let's, go take it easy at home. Yeah. This is this is, enjoy some afternoon sunshine in the in the park. K.
Throw out a blanket. Take a take a park nap. K. Something like that. Let's, a hammock.

It's relaxation day. Take it easy day. Oh, man. You never less enjoy these days, boss. Do you like lemon meringue pie?
Yes. Today is national lemon meringue pie day. Yes. Okay. Indian independence day today.
National check the chip day. This is where you, make that vet appointment to check the chip and make sure that the microchip in your animal is easy to find, is still there, is working, has the right info. Yeah. I mean, it's embedded in their skin, so there's a chance that it came out. Maybe they were wrestling around.
I don't know. But it's a good, good time to do that. Good reminder. And, that's it. That's what's happening.
That's it. Yeah. Did you know this week has been Elvis' week? No. Yeah?
I didn't. Yep. How should would we have celebrated that? Well, doing some of that. Okay.
She can look. My mom is a big Elvis fan, and my aunt, fun fact, saw him in concert. Is that right? That is right. And those are my 2 Elvis fun facts.
Fun facts. Good Thursday morning. It's Josh and Chantel. Our kids are, insanely happy. And Are they?
Yeah. They have to be. They just have to be. Why? Well, because, apparently, dad jokes and goofy antics are the secret to raising happier kids.
So they have to be the happiest kids in the whole wide world. Dad jokes are the rad jokes. That's what you always say. Dad jokes are rad jokes. Mom jokes are the bomb jokes.
I've got some good mom jokes. I know. I've pulled some Zingers Yeah. In my day. And we call them Zingers.
So Zingers? That's what you said. I said Zingers. I've said some Zingers. So Penn State actually did a study, and they found out that parents who use humor can build stronger, more positive relationships with their kids.
So Actually I'm saying Not just dad jokes, but we're a pretty funny family. I mean, I'm saying I'm not gonna toot our own horns, but Poop doo. Horns tooted. The idea here is that you turn, like, a meltdown into a giggle, by embracing the funny side of things. And not only I know.
Not only does humor help relieve stress, but it also promotes creative problem solving and resilience in both children and parents. And kids whose parents use humor report having a better relationship with their parents and felt that their parents did a good job raising them. I like that. Look at us. That's what I'm saying.
We might just be winning. You know? We might just be winning. That's one of my mechanisms of coping Yeah. Is to make a silly joke.
And, when I'm stressed, when I'm tired, when I'm upset, turn it into a lighthearted moment. Those are lighthearted moments? A lot a lot of people don't necessarily respond well to that. Right. And a joke in a heavy situation that isn't always well received.
Yeah. No. You gotta read the room. You gotta have some comedic timing. You can't be like, hey.
Sorry about your loss. No. I'm not gonna do that, obviously. I get it. But there are times in our kids' lives where they've both been like, can you not right now?
Can you just not? Right. And we go, okay. Take my joke over here. Doctors that I've they've told me information, and I'm like, here's a joke.
And they go, no. Actually, here's the science. And I go, oh. Just laugh with me. It's a lighthearted funny time.
Work on your bedside manner, doc. Key to happiness. It's all been there the whole time. It's just a bunch of joking around. High five, Josh.
I know. Well done to us. Are you looking to, buy a new house? I don't know. Possibly in California?
Where? In Simi Valley, California. Where? What valley? Simi Valley.
I don't know what that is. It's Simi Valley, s I m I, Valley, California. It is $1,170,000. Well, I don't have that. And it's where the house from the original poster poltergeist was filmed.
Do I need that? Do you? It's what I'm asking. I don't think I need that. If you had money and you wanted to live in Simi Valley, California, would you buy that house?
The owners have lived there for 45 years. They say that it's fine. There are no ghosts. It is not haunted. It's totally clean as they say.
K. It's actually a very cute house. I can't believe it's $1,170,000 because it's kind of smallish and outdated. I mean, I'm looking at some pictures of not of the house, just of the Simi Valley. Oh.
I'm just trying to get get a lay of the land. I mean, the landscaping and stuff, and maybe that's why it's so pricey. The landscaping is pretty cool, and it has a big, beautiful pool. Now I haven't seen poltergeist. I've seen clips of it, so I have a general idea of what happens.
But, apparently, there was a scene in the swimming pool, and they say that is not the pool where they filmed that scene. So that's totally fine. So Simi Valley say. Let me tell you a little about this town. So you can decide if you wanna try to figure out how to get $2,000,000.
You only need 1.17. And you could you could probably talk him down. Me? I could. You could negotiate.
Yeah. Okay. Yeah. $5? Let's meet in the middle.
It's 40 miles from downtown Los Angeles. It's just north of LA. The population of Simi Valley is a 124,398. Okay. So it's a good crowd.
What I'm interested in though is the elevation. You know the elevation of, most of East Idaho? It hovers right around, like, between 45, 5000 Okay. Feet. Okay.
768 feet. Oh, no way. Yeah. So you're, real close to the ocean. Yeah.
You get one earthquake. You're in the ocean. Well, you know. Oh my gosh. That's crazy.
It looks nice. You're, like, at sea level. You're you're one with the ocean level. Yeah. I mean, you only have to drive downhill a little bit to touch the ocean.
That's sea level. So, yeah. I don't know. Maybe. Okay.
It's I mean, it's not that big as I said, but and it's, as they say, totally clean. Is that I don't know. Meaning This house is clear. There's need Yeah. Yeah.
Yeah. The poltergeist aren't there. It's been saged. For now. For now.
Till you go to turn on the TV, and it's just static. And the kid's sitting at the TV, turns around and looks at you and says they're here. And then you're like, I shouldn't have done this. Good news to get you going today is a story, from Brewer, Maine. Okeydoke.
That's where Ava Burke is, is at. Ava's a 13 year old on a mission to make sure that every kid starts the school year with some confidence. Oh. So since she was 6, so for the past, what, 7 years, she has been collecting backpacks for students in need. And this year, she donated over 500 backpacks.
Ava? Yeah. To this charity drive called We've Got Your Back. Oh. She was first inspired to help others on her 6th birthday when she asked for backpacks instead of birthday presents, and her family and friends gave her 12 backpacks to give away.
And since then, she has grown this into a community wide effort with support from friends and family and local businesses. She said it makes me feel really good knowing that the kids are getting what they need to go back to school, and they're gonna be confident doing it. She plans to keep on collecting these backpacks for as long as she can, encouraging others to donate as well. She said, if you can donate, please do. It feels really good knowing that you're helping the community.
I bet it does. 500 backpacks this year. Started with 12 as a birthday thing when she turns 6. So I want I don't want presents. Give me backpacks full of school supplies to help out kids.
She's the best. Ain't that cool? Ava Burke, 13 years old, from Brewer, Maine, is good news to get you going. Well done, Ava. We were running a little bit late this morning because Were we?
Yeah. Because you know why? Why? Because I didn't wanna get out of bed. Well, there's that.
I didn't feel like I was running, like, super late or anything like that. Just kinda rushing. And so I was I just felt like I was ahead of the game. I was, like, kinda waiting around a little bit. Well, you woke up before my alarm went off, and I went, like, probably 3 minutes before my alarm went off.
And I went, why are you I was up 10 minutes before your alarm went off. And then I went gotta not do that. Yeah. I set up 10 minutes. Yeah.
I got up, and then, I came back, and I laid down. And I went, I'm not ready to do this yet. And so that's when when I laid down, and then your alarm went off a few minutes later. And then And then I went, no. No.
Right. On time. So I I I feel a little bit jumbled this morning because I forgot I forgot my bracelets. I usually wear some bracelets. I forgot my rings, So I feel a little bit like I'm missing something.
Yeah. I had a wardrobe change about 3 different times. I couldn't decide on which shirt to wear. Maroon shirt, and I went, that looks nice. And then you came out in, like, a what is that?
Like, a cream colored shirt. And I went, that's equally fine, but I, you look nice in the maroon, and you went, no. You made a 5 o'clock in the morning noise, and it sounded like that. I don't even know what you said about the shirt. Just you I know you changed.
Weird. I didn't like it. It felt grumpy. And it was yeah. It was just long longer than I wanted it to be, and it was also wrinkly.
And I said, I'm not I'm aware of that. Alright. K. And then I had to grab I was ready to go. I had my shoes on.
I was ready to run out the door, and then I went, I forgot my old lady pills. So I had to run back in and get my I didn't have time to take them. They're old lady pills. Well, they're just vitamins. Oh, okay.
I didn't know you had old lady pills. To keep my body in tip top shape. Okay. So I I have them. I grabbed the whole box because I didn't have time to take them.
So You have the whole box of oh, oh, I see. Yeah. My Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, PO box. You got the whole yeah. I see.
The whole I got them. Instead of just grabbing today's pills, you just grab the whole Yeah. Because it was more time effective. So I took Thursdays. You'll be happy to know that Thursdays is gone.
On Thursday. And I this is probably the first time in a long time that I've taken all of the days so far. Wow. I usually miss a day, but not today. Even on a running late kinda morning.
Those old lady pills. Well, congratulations. Thank you. Your body your body thanks you. I'm trying to decide if I should keep them here because it's easier or if I should just take them home.
I have a backpack. I carry stuff. I know. I'm kind of moving in a little bit. Great.
Make yourself at home. I am. Yeah. Do you have enough counter space these days, or are you still not enough? I could use more.
No. I still could use a new chair. I I know about the chairs. I've brought it up. Have you?
Yeah. And? Nothing. Clearly, we don't have new chairs. Worst chairs in the building right here.
Yeah. I know. What is up with that? I don't know. What is up?
Could we go steal somebody else's? Right out from under them. They'll never know. Yeah. They will.
Like, what is this garbage chair? I had a new nice chair. Now I have this garbage. Where'd this come from? And then they'll walk around and go, oh, there's my new chair.
What if we just It won't last long. What if we just keep the door locked? No. Oh, nothing never goes my way. I'm so sorry.
As we know, no one knows the fashion world more than teenage girls. That's true. Young women Yes. They know the fashions. What are the the trends.
What are the fashions? Fall fashions have arrived. Are you prepared for new fall fashions? I'm just probably just gonna keep wearing what I'm wearing. I don't know.
Z said the coolest trends for fall are as follows. What? Statement blazers. Oh. Bold prints, fun patterns, eye catching details, giving the typical conservative jacket a new twist.
Statement blazer. There's more. Animal print. Oh. Yes.
Wild. Exotic. The animal prints, infuse a sense of confidence and attitude into your fashion choices. Animal prints. What if you got a different animal print that's not a typical animal print?
Okay. So what are the typical ones? A typical Cheetah? Yeah. Cheetah and leopard.
What? Right? Sure. What other print do you want? Do you have, like, a cow print?
Cow print's huge. Is it? Oh, yes. What about, like, a calico cat prints? Like No.
Is that animal print? Yes. It's calico. No. Or Alligator boots.
Dalmatian. Come on now. Dalmatian print. Bright colors made the list from neon green to hot pink because, you know, nineties. Eye catching neon is making its comeback.
And the art of layering, combining various textures, contrasting colors, experimenting with different lengths, textures, and fabrics, unique personalized looks come from the art of layering. And the last thing on the list for your new fall fashions, athleisure. That's right. Joggers paired with a trendy hoodie. Trendy.
Yes. What's it what qualifies as a trendy hoodie? A good one. Dresses that are easy to wear during the day that are also for a night out. Athleisure.
Day to night wear That's right. In a flash. Looking cool while staying comfortable. Guess what? All of my outfits are day to night wear because I just wear the same thing all day.
New fall trends according to Gen z ladies. Because my calico cat animal prints got a no. You can't. Laser? You can't.
No. No calico cat blazers. Made from real animal skin. It's just faux. It's faux fur.
I want you to look at something really quickly. K. What am I looking at? This is my lunch bag. Yes.
Can you see how it's stuffed to the gills? Very, very full. What is in your lunch bag? I'm gonna open it up and tell you. Oh.
Okay. Here's I have to pack a breakfast and a lunch Right. Because I work 2 jobs. So k. Here's my ice pack to keep everything nice and cold.
Right. Now I've been making lunches. I've I've been making these, ham wraps. Well, they're turkey wraps, really, not ham. That doesn't matter.
That's not important. But I've been I've been prepping before I go to bed the night before, and I didn't do that last night. And as I said earlier, I was in a rush this morning. Oh, no. You just grabbed everything.
You got the whole jar of pickles in there? No. No. No. You got a big thing of mayo and must you have an entire yellow pepper.
Yeah. Because I like to slice that. A whole bell pepper. You have a bag of coleslaw Yeah. Half a bag of coleslaw.
Because I like to put that in there too. K. Alright. Now, normally, this would all be prepped and ready to go. You would just have a wrap, but instead, you have the ingredients.
Alright. What else do you got? Whole thing of cream cheese. Right. And then because I was like, I I don't know what I've already grabbed and what I haven't grabbed.
I just threw a bunch of random stuff in here. So I've got some string cheese. Okay. I've got some crackers. I've got some cottage cheese.
Well, you are packed for an outing. I guess so. I mean And then you get your tortilla. You just grab the whole bag of tortillas, or did you grab 1? I grabbed 1, and I managed to put that in my sliced turkey in the container that I normally use.
But it's kind of a little bit of a cluster in my lunch bag today. You have a lot of stuff. So And it's really I mean, the zipper is tight. It's pretty tight in there. Yeah.
It looks like, it looks like that after Thanksgiving lunch bag where you go, there's a little bit a lot of food in here, but I like the leftovers. So okay. Here's the thing. Because I've been trying to save money by not going out to lunch, and I've been trying to eat a little bit healthier. And so this morning, I went, oh, I didn't pack a lunch last night.
I can just order something. Right. And then I went, no. I'm gonna be I'm gonna stick to my plan. You can make this happen.
So I just opened the fridge and started dumping things in. Well, at least you got all the right ingredients for what you like to make. Saying. Did did you forget anything? Did you miss anything?
The pickles You did. Because I like the bread and butter pickles. Uh-huh. Well, I thought I saw you reaching for the jar. Well, I, for a minute, was like, I have a little bit of time.
I could just throw some in there, but I didn't. Well So that's pretty depressing. So Oh, but now look. Now I can't zip it back up. I told you.
Oh, no. The zipper's too tight. You gotta you gotta let some out. What am I gonna let out? I don't know.
You did you eat your breakfast? No. I guess I can take out my yogurt. Alright. Yeah.
Then you can fit that other cream cheese. There's only one cream cheese. You showed me 2 different containers. No way. You just showed me the same one twice?
No. I have one container of cream cheese and one cottage cheese Oh, that's it. So many cheeses. Yeah. Yeah.
Yeah. You've been complaining about the vacuum not being in its home for the past 2 weeks probably. Mhmm. Imagine my surprise Mhmm. When I go home yesterday Mhmm.
And I see the vacuum in the middle of the hallway. Mhmm. In the middle of the hallway. Mhmm. Now you hate the vacuum being out where I leave it, which is put away next to the piano out of the way because you feel like where I put it is a tripping hazard.
But when I come home and the vacuum is in the middle of the hallway, that feels a little, of a surprise Alright. To me. Let me let me run this down for you. What, a week ago or so, you cleaned up your side of the room, but my side of the room was still you know, piles happen. And stuff just doesn't get put away where it goes.
And it's just like, I'll just leave it on the dresser. Mhmm. I'll just put it on the nightstand. Ugh. I'll deal with it later.
So I have piles. And I was tired of looking at piles, and I needed to dust. And I was like, this place is a wreck. And so I said, I'm gonna I'm gonna take some time and do this, in between, like, I I had gone out, with a friend, had some dinner and stuff, came home from that, and our daughter, Emery, was trying to figure out, what she wanted to eat. And it was a big, long ordeal.
And I said, you figure out what you want. I'll take you wherever you want. Then we'll go get you dinner. We'll figure it out. So while she was trying to figure that out and while I kept checking in on her going, do you figure out what you want yet?
No. Okay. I said, oh, I'm gonna clean my side of the room, get that stuff taken care of, dusted. And then I the vacuum was in the living room still. So I said, well, I'm in a vacuum.
That convenient. Only because I'm unable to lift enough weight to carry it upstairs, so I would have had to ask somebody. How long? Until you have to Another. So a week from Monday.
So Monday is what? The 20? You've been whining about not being able to care anything for a month and a half. You had a burning surgery 3 months ago. No.
I did not. It was not 3 months ago. It was not 3 months ago. But, anyway so, so I saw the vacuum there, and I said, well, you should probably vacuum. And so I vacuumed the room, and then she came in and said, will you take me to go get, dinner?
And I said, yep. And so I stopped before I put it away, and we went and got dinner, and you arrived home, moments before I did. And then I was putting away the vacuum. If you noticed, I wrapped up the cord the right way, but you probably didn't notice. I did notice, actually.
Yeah. It doesn't matter. I don't care about it. Put it right back by the piano because I know you're not done with it. I am I heard enough about that.
But also To know you're not done. Why don't you put it away where it belongs if you're so concerned about it going back to its home? Because you're not done with it. And, also, I can't lift it to take it downstairs because it's over my weight limit. Whiny, whiny, whiny.
So the the cord's put away, right, whenever you're ready to, I guess, finish up with it or put it away or whatever. See, here's what happened. I didn't wrap up the cord the right way because I wasn't done with it. And so it's easier for me to just, like, take it off of the handle No. And plug it in.
Now I have to unwrap it. Do you wanna know why it's not easier? Why? Because the way you wrap it around your hand and then stick it over the handle, it it was a tangled disaster when I took it off there to plug it in. I done do 3 knots just to plug it in.
So you're welcome for making it so much actually easier for you by wrapping it properly. When you grabbed the vacuum Yeah. And you had to untangle all my knots Yeah. How many bad words did you say about me? 0.
I said 0. I said, man, I love that woman. What a treat. I just can't wait till she gets home so she can yell at me about using the vacuum. Just looking forward to it.
Can't wait. How many times in your head did you say, I made the right choice in marrying her? Every day I say it. 100 hundreds of times. Oh, man, I'm the luckiest man alive.
I am. It's true. Do you remember that age where you're on the cusp of being able to drive and you just felt stuck at home all the time? Not not exactly. Like, I understand, that that can be a thing.
I understand that's where our daughter currently is. Yes. And we hear about it. In that. Yeah.
Every day. She's in that, like, like, my my brother works, and so he's not around. And My friends don't drive. So I can't even see away. So it's not like I can even see them because we can't walk to each other's house, ride our bikes to each other's house.
Yeah. And my parents are gone all day. So every day, we hear, I'm just stuck here all day. Yeah. And I go, I know, and I'm sorry, but I lived that life too.
Yeah. And you're gonna make it through. You're gonna be fine. I didn't, I don't know. I, like, I don't know that I minded so much.
I don't think I was I mean, I talked to my friends, you know, on the phone. I did a lot of, like, outside time. Yeah. Spent all summer just outside. Right.
On my bike. I was Yeah. A lot on my bike. Right. But, also, when we get home, I say, hey.
I realized that you've been home all day. What would you like to do? Where would you like to go? Right. Let's and she's like, I don't know.
I don't know. So she's not even supplying any Yeah. The solution. Yeah. She's just I'm just here.
Miserable and grumpy. But school's starting up, so, that'll kinda remedy itself. Yeah. And then she'll have a big, shiny, yellow bus That's right. To transport her Yes.
To school and to home. That's right. Isn't she the luckiest? Go catch that bus? Yeah.
That's pretty lucky. I would I would think that's you know, all things considered, that's luck. That is that is lucky. Last night, you and I had different places we needed to be. Right.
And I said, hey. I got a thing to go to. I'm gonna, you know, I'm gonna be gone for a little bit. She threw her hands up in the air and I'll just be here. I'll just be stuck here again.
And I said, girl, I'm sorry. I I don't know how to help you. I got her a new video game yesterday, so that ought to help you a little bit. Yeah. What is it?
Oh, one of the one of the, free games that I get each month Oh. And, happens to be a game that she wants to play. So I I got that all downloaded and installed yesterday. And so, hopefully, she'll have something new to occupy her, brain a little bit that isn't just, like, thinking about the bottom. It well, it's a hard age right now because she's too young to get a job, and she can't drive herself to that job Correct.
Anyway. She's too young to get a driver's license. She's just right on the edge of, like, where exciting things are about to happen. So you're just stuck for a minute. Yeah.
I don't remember being I do. I don't you had older siblings, though, too. Yeah. I was the oldest. So I was kind of setting that precedent of, like, I don't care.
I'm just gonna do my own thing. I was here. Yeah. Just hang out in my room, listen to music, do whatever. My older siblings were, like, driving and out, and I went, please take me with you.
Yeah. No. And they were like, no. We're not taking our little sister. You were there stuck on your own.
Yeah. It's okay. So I was responsible for taking care of my sister at that point. Responsible. Well, loosely.
I was watching the movie last night, and in the movie, there's a heist. Mhmm. And I was sitting there thinking, I wonder, Josh, if you think that you would be able to pull off a heist successfully. Not by myself. Well, right.
You would have a team of other heisters Mhmm. Not a forklifts. Uh-huh. See. No.
I got it. Here's here's the thing. I I'm playing I'm playing a video game right now where I have to plan heists. This is for real. This is this is actually a thing.
I'm in the middle of planning a heist right now in this game, and, and I have to get a submarine in order to do this heist. I'm a little stressed out about it. Oh my god. So I've so I've been delaying the heist because I don't wanna have to go through the trouble of collecting all the pieces. I did a heist, a while ago in this game, and, you get to choose who you take on your heist with, and you have to pick 3 people.
Okay. And you can you can pick the people based on their their performance in these roles, like a driver, like a gunman, whatever, and then you have to have, like, like a hacker. Somebody who's gonna be able to get into the security cameras and stuff for the heist. And if you if you choose the most experienced best performing one, they take a bigger share of the heist plot. So you have to decide if you want more money or if you want a more successful heist.
Okay. Okay. Okay. Okay. So I spent good money on 2 of the 3, and the one guy who I skimped out on didn't make it through the heist.
He died? Yeah. But then I think we get to share his share because we were still successful, but we lost a guy. I had no idea that this was even going on in your virtual reality. Yeah.
Now let's do real life. No way. Can you think of 3 people in your real life that you No. I don't know the right people. You wouldn't even pick me for anything?
If you had to pick me if you had to pick me for a high school. Not putting you in harm's way. Oh, that's nice. I thought maybe you weren't gonna pick me because I wouldn't be successful at it. No.
It's not that. Now you were just pandering. No. No. I'm not.
Who would you pick? I don't know the right people. You wouldn't pick anybody? Not your cousin? No.
Look. You got you've gotta be involved in the wrong kind of circles Yeah. I get it. But order to have those kind of people. Right.
I get it. But you're just regular, everyday, average, everyday shots. Pulling off a goof heist No. It's not goof. It's a real heist.
No. I'm not stealing $2,000,000 worth of diamonds with family and friends. No. That's not happening. Because you don't trust anybody?
Yeah. That's true. I don't know. I don't trust myself in that situation. I don't think I could do it.
With enough confidence Nope. And a willingness to try. Don't turn my rules against me. I don't think, anyone that I know personally in in at work, in family, in friendships, I don't know heist people. I kinda wanna put together a pretend heist.
Yeah. A goof heist where it's like you have to, you know, break into, you know, a family member's house and steal a quilt. Yes. You know? I I guarantee we could pull that off.
Let's do it. It has to be something more intense than that. But do you know what I'm saying? Yeah. Let's let's do let's pull off an intense heist.
I don't need to pull off. A real heist, but, like, let's do it. No. No. I want to.
Why? I'm gonna I'm gonna are you hiring? Well, not you now because you don't wanna be involved. Rude. You don't wanna be involved.
I'm gonna make a heist against you. That's what's gonna happen. I'm gonna gather a bunch of people, and then I'm gonna say, hey. Are you in on the heist? I'm putting up better security then.
You don't know what we're coming for. I will I will protect all flanks. I'm getting Dobermans, cameras. You're gonna have to hire the good hacker. I know some people.
No. You don't. In those circles. No. You don't.
You don't know my life. I'm a secret heister. You're a forklift? Yes. Would you say you're a very patient person?
I would say I am, quite patient. Yes. I agree with that. I agree that you're very you're also a very even keel kinda guy. There's not much that makes you upset.
You're very tolerant. You're very patient. One thing that you do get upset by is if you are at a gas station. Oh, Drives me crazy. Waiting for a pump.
Here's the thing. I gas up typically, at the Costco. Uh-huh. And they have the little signs up top that they have the little green gas pumps. And if if they're if it's busy, if it's a hot time and there's green gas pumps in the front two pumps, and there's somebody stopped at the back pump, and there's a line of even one person in front of me that is gonna wait for that person to move instead of going through the middle lane and pulling into one of the open pumps, It makes me cranky.
I don't know. And look, the vehicle I drive, I'm not I can't do that, like go on the wrong side of the pump and stretch the hose over the back of my truck to pump it. It's just it doesn't work for me. Why? Because the truck's too wide.
Okay. And so I I don't like doing that. I don't like dragging the hose across the truck. Okay. And so I wait so that I can go to the one that has the pump on the right side that I need.
Oh, I'm making noise. And then there will be there will be, like it's super busy. There's multiple people. They're all backed up. I'll hop in a line, and I'm cool with waiting.
That's fine. But then somebody wants to take their sweet time getting out and typing in their PIN number and looking at what kind of gas they wanna get, and then maybe open their gas cap a little bit, and then go back and look at the pump, and then finish opening up the gas can thing, and, you know, the cap's off, and then they're reading the pump, and then, oh, now we're pumping gas. It's kind of my favorite thing. Oh, it drives me nuts. Because like I said, you are very, like, cool cool.
Like, I'll wait. I'm patient for most things. When you're in line at the gas station, it is a whole different side of you. It's like a person I don't even know, and I find great amusement in it. I don't know why it takes so long.
It's an in and out kind of thing. Like, pull up, pump your gas, leave. And get out. What are you doing? Get in.
Get out. Are you falling in love with the gas pump? Why are you hanging out? And if there's an open pump, go to it. Go through the middle lane.
That's why it's designed. They put the middle lane so you can jump in and go ahead. And I get parallel parking is scary. You can do it. I just know you can.
Go to the middle pump. Don't be scared. You're holding up everybody. Me especially. The most patient person I know.
You don't wanna make Josh angry. That's right. I have things to do. It's not waiting for you at the pump. Go quicker.
Do you wanna learn something? Let's learn something. An education moment. Okay. I was watching something.
Somebody was taking a picture, and then they said, say cheese. Right. And then I went, where did that come from? Oh, okay. So I did I did some research.
This has come around. The idea of using words to help subjects smile in photographs has been around since the 1800. Mhmm. But in that time, photographers would say, say prunes. I don't know why prunes was the word chosen.
Okay. But here's the thing. I'm trying to figure out because cheese gives you a e Okay. So cheese is mouth say that way. The c h sounds makes you clench your teeth, and the long e sound Right.
Parts your smile, creating a facial expression that looks like a grin. So Right. She Right. Makes Yep. Cream.
Okay. So then that changed in the 19 twenties when people would say whiskey, and the w h sound in whiskey was thought to help create a smile. Holy Weh. Weh. Weh.
And I don't necessarily know when cheese came around or why cheese came around, but cheese. It's because the makes you clench, and the e sound makes you part your lips. So what do you think about when people, like, change it and they just say something funny? Like Say asparagus, and you go, what? Asparagus.
Right. So in Bulgaria, they say cabbage. Everybody say cabbage. I mean, the word for cabbage. I'm I have no idea how to pronounce it.
Everybody say the word for cabbage. In the Hungary, they say the word for small bird. K. And in Spain, they say, potata, which is potato. I don't know that it is.
This is what Google is telling me. K. And in Germany, they say the word for cheesecake. K. I'm gonna I'm part German, so I'm gonna attempt this one.
No. I'm not. Because in Spanish, potato is papa, which is exactly what I it's not potato. No. Potato is what Google says.
Potato. I don't know, Josh. I don't know. I mean, potato is a it translates to potato Tea. But it's not the that's a weird word.
Okay. But Spain Spain Spanish is different than Only in their verb conjugations. Oh. It's a learning moment. We are learning so much today.
Mhmm. Aren't we learning? Cheese. Cheese. Prunes.
We, are on TikTok, you and I. Yeah. We don't post a lot of videos. No. But we send a lot of videos back and forth to each other.
Right. Videos that we think are funny. We sent some gems this morning. No. There's some funny stuff.
There's some good stuff. And listen, if you're not sitting in the same room sharing videos with each other, are you even married? I mean, you know. Oh, we can't watch them together. I couldn't possibly walk around the counter and show you the funny video that I just saw.
No. I gotta send it to you so you can watch it on your phone. In the same room. I just sent you some and sent. Oh, I just sent you some good ones.
Right. And then I walked over and watched your reaction to that. What is this one? Even know. But it everybody's doing this.
This is just normal life. We had a really good they call it a streak. Yes. TikTok streak going where we were days. Was I thought it was only 9.
10 days. And then I noticed yesterday that it was it was gray, which means Oh, no. If you don't do it, then you're gonna lose it. And so I sent you something, but you never replied to me, and so we lost our streak. Oh, no.
So now we're at 0. It's okay. This streak thing exists in other apps too, like in Snapchat. Does it? I don't Snapchat.
I know. But, our daughter and her friends, Snapchat. That's true. She is on a, like, 100 of days streak with some people. It's wild.
And I go We gotta update, Josh. 100 of days. Like, she she has one friend. They have they have, snap streak of over 230 something days. It's unreal.
Dude, the streaks, I didn't realize that you had to risk I thought you could just like, if you sent something to me, that counted as a streak. I didn't know that I had to respond to it. You have to have a back and forth. So I also have to send you a video? Correct.
Or do I have to respond to your video? Right. Okay. Okay. We'll get back into it.
Well, we're at 0 again. We made it to 10. We can do better than 10. We got this. Yesterday was just a busy day.
Yeah. I didn't have time to TikTok. I get it. I some days are like that. We got this.
Alright. We're gonna do better than 10 days. We're gonna get to 230 something? They're maniacs. They are maniacs.
Here, I I'm gonna look and see how many even just today. Well, that doesn't matter. No. I know. But we sent 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9 Today?
10, 11, 9 No way. 15, 14, 15, 16. No way. Yes. Between the 2 of us.
Yes. It's, like, 8 from me, 8 from yours. More than that? No. That's enough.
