Full show transcript:

Hey, thanks for listening to the podcast. It's Josh and Chantel. Just a quick reminder, you can email the show anytime. What's that email, Adro Chantel? I don't know. It's wakeupclassy97atgmail.com.

Okay, there you go. What is it? Wakeupclassy97atgmail.com. That's it. You did it. Thank you. First time, every time.

Thanks for hanging out with us. This is going to be some news that I'm excited to see your reaction to. Ready? Yes. Somebody's running for mayor of Los Angeles. Do you know who? Uh, I don't. It's a celebrity.

Yeah, I assumed as much. It's a reality television celebrity. When I tell you the name, you're going to go, ugh. It's not a Kardashian.

It is not a Kardashian, but you might say just as bad. He is 42. He. Yeah. Interesting. Um, reality star, that's a he. Yep. And I'll tell you that he's a long shot bid for mayor.

He announced it on the anniversary of a wildfire that destroyed his home and became one of California's most destructive blazes on record. Okay. His name is Spencer Pratt. Are you kidding me? Gross.

Yeah. You know, people used to call him flesh beard. Yeah, because of his blonde beard. He keeps it shorter now and it's darkened up, but he still has that same face. Oh, he is 42 years old, which I didn't know we were even that close an age.

I thought he was a bit younger than us. Um, but anyway, he, uh, he was in the reality, the hills, the hills on MTV. Yeah.

I watched that. He was also, uh, was he in Laguna Beach as well? I think so. Yeah. I think Laguna Beach was the original and then the hills was like an offshoot. Yeah. Apparently he wasn't in Laguna Beach.

He was only in the spin off the hills. Okay. Yeah.

Because he started dating one of the girls from Laguna Beach and then that earned him a spot in the. That's right. Ew. I would hate for him to be my mayor. Uh, Montag. What's her first name? Heidi. Yeah.

Spencer and Heidi Spidey. They were called. No one called him that.

The internet did. They only called them flesh beard. Yeah.

And flesh beard wife. Are they still together? I think they are. Yeah.

Good for them. Anyway, uh, he's running for mayor. I'd like to say good luck, but I don't. He wants to be the mayor of Los Angeles.

You'll do a great job, but you might. I don't know anything about him. What do you think he's up to? You think he's got the political chops? I don't know. Political chops.

Uh, it'll be a flesh chop. All right. Uh, by the way, he and Heidi are together. They got married in 2008. They have two children.

So. Dude, somebody calls him a dad. Two kids call him a dad.

That's, uh, more than a dozen other candidates have also entered the race. Maybe he's grown up a bit. I'm, that's what I'm saying. I don't know what he's been up to. I'm judging him from his past life as a reality TV star.

As a young person on a reality TV show. That's correct. Yeah. With the bad beard.

Uh, totally bad beard and a bad personality to match. Wow. All right. So that was a little more reaction than I expected, but all righty.

You want to start today's show? Yeah. Okay. Good morning.

Oh, hi. Did you take a bath last night? I took a shower. Oh, you took a shower.

What? It's bubble bath day. So tonight, bubble bath.

Okay. Did you ever end up getting, uh, different bubbles? You were going to get like a whole bunch of bubbles to see if it kept the water warm. No. You never got any? No, I just turned up the water. Yeah. No, I know, but you were going to try, try the bubble method.

No, I didn't. I'll just turn up the water more. I see.

That's all. Because you were using the Dr. Teal's bubble bath and when we talked about you, you were going to get Mr. Bubble, so it smelled like bubble gum. No, I was never going to get that. Oh, I don't want to smell like bubble gum. No.

Nope. So I'll just get my Mr. Teal's. And I'll just keep it like that.

No interest in changing at all. No. No, pop patrol, bubble bath. Nope.

Spider-Man. I bet they have, uh, Alphaba and, uh, Glinda. There you go. Yeah. No, I'm fine with Mr. Teal's. I don't need a cartoon. Okay. I'm good.

All right. We'll have a bubble bath today. I will. I will absolutely do that. Soak it up in a tub.

Sounds like a plan to me. If we had a hot tub, I would just have air bubbles. And then call that a bubble bath because the jets make the air bubbles.

I would sit in that. Yeah. Oh, oh, oh, because the jets. Yeah. Yeah, that's why. I'm glad you clarified.

You're going to be the only one sitting in that hot tub. Yeah. Well, sure. Have you heard of Joy Germs?

No. Well, today's Joy Germ Day. What's Joy Germ?

The idea is that Joy is contagious. So spread some Joy Germs. I don't like that they call it germs, Joy Germs. They're trying to take germ back.

You can't take germs back. If you smack Joy, uh, right there at the front of it, it's one word. Joy Germ.

No, it's fine. Just, just say Joy. Spread Joy.

Spread some happiness. It's contagious. Uh, Joy Germs.

You know those speakers that stand up and they say, welcome ladies and germs. Isn't that hilarious? Every time. It's a good one every time. I laugh. I go, now that is somebody who knows a joke.

I was looking for a good one today. And being called a joke. And he nailed it. Doesn't Beetlejuice say that as well?

He might. Yeah. It feels like a Beetlejuice thing. Speaking of a guy who knows germs.

Look at that guy. Not Joy Germs though. No, no, no. Just, just the gross kind. Well, anyway.

Wash the germs away so you feel a little happiness in your Joy Germs with your bubble bath today. There you go. I guess.

You can hit both. We can combine it all. Yeah, sure.

Sure, sure. Happy, what day is it? Thursday. Longest week ever. It's been a long one.

Yeah, I'm pooped. Well, it's early today. Let's see if we can rally the troops. Sure. I'll rally the Joy Germs.

Sounds good. In my soul. Uh-huh.

And start spreading that happiness. It's good. Do you cough up Joy Germs the same way? Like cover your mouth. You'll spread germs. They go, no. These are joy. When take it.

Oh, nice. Let's talk about cabbage. Okay. Do you like it? I do like it. What do you like about it? It tastes delicious. Okay.

And that's what I like about it. All right. Well, what about sums up cabbage? Let's talk about what do you do with cabbage? You could put it in salads. Sure. You could stuff them with stuff.

You can stuff a cabbage or do you stuff like a roll with cabbage? Yeah, that. For rock. Yeah. Yeah. No, well that and you can stuff cabbage. I've made those before. You put like stuff in it.

Meat and like a sauce, like a tomato sauce. Yeah. Yeah, remember that. But it wasn't like a whole head of cabbage. No.

You just take like a leaf and then you stuff the cabbage leaf. Got it. Got it. Got it. Okay. Well, apparently people are all about it. Yeah, it's good. Cabbage is the vegetable this year, this like last 25.

Cabbage. It's your year. Well, it was.

Oh. If cabbage keeps it up, it might have two years in a row. I don't know how they do this. But Pinterest, the website, they put out their report of like the big things people were looking at in 25 and the vegetable to take the top spot was cabbage. Cabbage.

I'm so proud of you. It showed up in a bunch of different recipes. They say it's perfect for everything from crunchy slaws to kimchi.

You're at crunchy slaw. Yeah, I don't like kimchi. I don't like the flavor of that.

No. Roasted wedges. So you could cut it into those and roast them. Yeah. Yeah. You can use it in hearty soups.

You can. I feel like you have a soup recipe that has cabbage. I have a stuffed pepper soup. That has cabbage in it. Yeah, that's good.

We haven't had that in a little while. Cabbage is real superpower, they say, is that it's easily incorporated into many global flavors. You can use it in Asian cooking. You can use it in European stuffed rolls. You can use it in Mexican tacos.

You can ferment it and then have sauerkraut. It's like multinational. It's everybody loves cabbage. Thank you. Bubba.

Yeah, you're welcome. Cabbage rolls, shrimp, cabbage soup, cabbage dumpling. Cabbage is delicious. I'm happy the cabbage got top billing.

It's having its moment right now. Proud of you, cabbage. I'm proud of you.

Way to go. Today's Good News is all about 16-year-old Danny McTog in Oklahoma City. What Danny do? Well, Danny recently secured a $2,000 grant through the 4-H Lead for Change program.

This is really cool. She is using every penny of that $2,000 to buy art supplies for Oklahoma Children's Hospital. The donation includes everything from clay to paint to canvases. It is all part of her mission that is called Danny's Dream. She discovered her own love for art when she was five and she wanted to provide patients with a chance to be creative and bring them a little peace and happiness during their treatments. And hospital staff say these kinds of donations are game changers, turning a stressful environment into a place where kids can actually have a little bit of fun. That's so sweet.

I know. Isn't this cool? Apparently, she isn't stopping at this $2,000 donation either.

She plans on keeping up applying for different grants so that she can continue to become what she wants to become as an art therapist so that she could work in the hospitals and work with kids on being able to use art as many, many things as a tool for relaxation and communication. That's amazing. I think it's really cool. Way to go Danny. Well done. A lot of people are going to benefit from what you're already doing. That's awesome.

It's good news. Here is a list of socially acceptable things that were okay in the 90s but wouldn't necessarily fly today. That's interesting. One of them is showing up at someone's house unannounced to just hang out. Yeah, like you would just go over and you would knock on the door and somebody would come to the door and you'd go, hey, you want to hang out? Well, even like as an adult, my mom always had people over and they would just sit at the kitchen table and talk for hours and hours and hours.

That's very true. Did you make plans beforehand or did you just show up? No, you just showed up. You didn't call ahead and go, hey, you want to hang?

What about that though? What about calling ahead to set up plans? I think everything is like, hey, you want to do this thing.

It's like right now. I feel like everything's a little bit more like urgent, spontaneous, where it used to be like you would set a plan and then... That's also on the list. Making plans with somebody multiple days in advance and then not talking to them about it again. And then just showing up and you knew that the other person was going to be there.

There wasn't like a, hey, are we still on? Right, that kind of thing. Yeah, I think people just maybe were excited to get out. And now everybody's like, nah, I'm just going to... I got everything I need at home.

All my comforts are here. Yeah, right? Making... Oh, no, we already talked about that one.

Baby sitting at age 10, I started babysitting at 11. Okay. And to me now, I go, that's insane. That's really young. Who would trust their kids with me at 11? I remember having the conversation of like, are we okay to leave the kids at home with the oldest being 10 or 11 or whatever, 12? Like, are we okay?

Is everything going to be all right? Crazy. I know. There was one time I had three kids at 11 years old. One of them was a baby. What was that mom doing, leaving me alone with those kids? Whatever she wanted. Holy... No, she was at work, but oh, man, oh man. Silly goose.

All right. Smoking in restaurants? That was a big thing. I'm so glad that went away.

I am so glad that had a thing. Like, there is one restaurant that's still in my mind. Like, I have a hard time eating there because they had such a big smoking thing in their restaurant. And even if they had a smoking section, the entire restaurant just smelled like smoke.

Yeah, it wasn't like behind a door. Leaving your kids in the car while you went grocery shopping? We always got left in the car. I always was in the car. Always, constantly.

Or if I was misbehaving in the store, I'd get sent to the... Do you want to go to the car? Yeah, I do. I never did. You didn't? You wanted to be in the store?

Yeah, I like looking at it. What changed? I don't know. Because now you're like, I'll just sit in the car. I'm like getting out. I'm like going in the store where there's people.

Not being reachable at all times? Yeah, like... I'm gonna miss this. Just being able to disconnect? Yeah, like if you weren't home and nobody could get ahold of you, you just had to keep trying back. I guess. I'd leave a message. It's been an hour and a half.

Maybe, maybe they're home. I got an email last night at 9 o'clock from a work thing and somebody was like urgent and I went, it's 9 o'clock at night. Yeah, that's not urgent. I'll worry about that tomorrow.

Yeah, exactly. I'm not doing that. Get out of here. Urgent. Sometimes I hate that we're so reachable at all times. Yeah, we are very accessible.

It's interesting. Things that were a no-go now that... Or a no-go then? And that were... What's the list? Acceptable then. Yeah. A no-go now. Acceptable then and no-go now. Got it.

Okay. Something else that made the list was mooning people. I don't think that's ever been acceptable. No. I mean, people did it. Yeah.

Doesn't mean it was accepted. Yeah. Interesting. Okay. Now you might get arrested. Yeah. In decent exposure. Don't do that.

And all that. Yeah, don't do that. It's not a good idea. No. It wasn't that either.

No, it isn't. Nobody wants to see that. But now you get caught on camera. That's probably the big deal. Like back then, it was like, oh, no. They'd be like, you can't prove I did that.

It's your word versus mine. Yeah. Now there's cameras everywhere. Everywhere. And now they're like, no, look, I got it on dash cam. Everyone sees it now.

Yeah. Keep it put away. We're going to go to Vancouver because there's a woman there that started a tuneless choir. Wait a minute. Is this just people singing for the joy of it? Yep.

Well, isn't that something? It's a choir of people who like to sing but aren't very good at it. But I bet they sing loud and proud. Because when you sing and you say it's bad, you say, well, I just sing louder and then it sounds better. Yeah. It always sounds better the louder I sing.

Is that right? Well, in the car it does. Okay. Put a microphone in front of my face. Sure.

It's not going to be as good. Yeah. She started two of these because they were so popular. The first one was so popular.

She had to start another one. There are 30 in England. Wow. The first one formed 10 years ago by a woman named Sharon who led three of them there.

And then it took off from there. This woman on Vancouver Island said that she has seen how powerful singing is even if you can't carry a tune. Many of the members avoided singing for decades because someone told them that they couldn't sing very well. That's the problem with creativity, isn't it? People love to do it. And then they stop because someone says, you're not very good at that.

That is absolutely correct. One person will say something and immediately it's like, well, I guess I'm done with that. I'm never going to do that again because that was embarrassing and I hated that confrontation.

And so I'll just avoid it. But she said all of these people who join in with the tune list doesn't matter. They sing their hearts out and for some it's so life changing.

They're so happy. We know a woman who loves to sing and she herself has proclaimed that she is not. She's terrible at it. She can't carry a tune in a bucket. Is that the saying?

That is the saying, yes. But she sings loud and she sings proud and she's very happy about it. I believe the definition of singing is to make a joyful noise. So I think that's okay. Just live your life. Yeah, but I understand people ignore the haters.

I get it. But I think there's a place if you are a good singer, absolutely you should be in a choir full of other good singers. But I love this idea of a tuneless choir.

I want to join it. I always get nervous when we have to sing with people like in a group. Like happy birthday. I feel bad for the, not necessarily that.

Like something more real. I always feel bad for the person standing next to me. Because they have to hear your lack of tune. Yeah. Maybe they'll just match and harmonize with you. Well, I did have a friend once who's really good at singing. And she said that sometimes when she's singing next to people, it kind of throws her off.

Yeah. I go, well, I'm really sorry. And she goes, well, I never hear you. I go, because that's because I'm so quiet. That's because I'm singing down here. I sing quiet when I'm in a group setting. But when I'm in my car, watch out. I've been in the car with you when you're hitting some notes. Yeah.

Yeah. And more than notes, I guess, whatever, have fun, sing along. I just want everybody to know all the words.

Because I feel like some of the words get swapped around or you don't know them. And then you just make up a noise. Yeah.

It sounds like a word. What's the problem with that? There's no problem. I'm just saying it would be better if the words were there.

No, I don't think so. I think it's the best I do. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. You know, and then I know this part of the song and I know these words. Yeah, no, this part of the song. Yeah.

That's what I hear. Okay. I'm just saying. It's great.

Right? Sure. Sing along. Say something nice. Say something nice. Yeah. I enjoyed that process I said. Say something sincere.

That is real thing. I don't I don't go, no, please stop. I'll just sing this now. It's nice. We've been singing along together in cars forever, forever and ever. And it's fine.

You know that I did go to church years and years and years ago, I went to church with a woman who sang backup for the Osmans. Is that right? Well, that's what she claimed.

Okay. Is she the one that told you you don't sing well? In the she there was a lot of people who said that I didn't sing well, but she actually was trying to teach me how to sing.

Yeah. And there were two other girls that she was trying to help sing. And she spent the most time working with me. Well, yeah, because she saw progress and potential.

She never said that I was a bad singer. It was always those kind of like, let's try that. Let's do that again. Okay.

Let's try that a little different. That's a good that's good teaching. She was a good teacher. She really was. Did I learn much about singing? Not so much.

Yeah, no. I still sing terrible. Whenever I had to be a part of any kind of group or a choir or anything, and they were like, where are you? Are you like, are you a bass? And I go, I have no clue what you're talking about. Like, do you like octaves?

And I go, I don't even know what you're talking about. Do you know how to read music? And I'm like, look, I played guitar in high school. So I know how to like, a little bit, but not really.

And then they invented tablature. So it's really easy. I know.

Sometimes when the notes go high, sure, then that's where my voice goes. Hi. Oh, good. Well, last night was disappointing for a whole bunch of people across the world. When there was not a ninth episode of season five of stranger things. Did you buy into all the hype? Listen, there was some pretty solid good evidence. And I like a little bit of sleuthing that has to do with the show. Like when we were watching Lost a lot and Lost kind of like they leaned into it.

Yeah. And they created an entire alternate universe in between seasons where you could engage and you could go like book flights on Oceanic. And like there was a lot of really cool stuff that was going on in between seasons. And so I like that. And I like the concept that if there were going to be a ninth episode of a real finale, there was so much evidence pointing toward it. Like it was really people were very convincing at getting you to go, you know, yeah, there's a chance.

Like here's here's a couple of things that happened. People bet money on whether or not there would be a ninth episode. You can bet on anything. There are gambling websites that are happy to take your money. And so a lot of people lost money because there were people that said, absolutely, this is going to happen.

Yeah. There were people very convinced and then tried to put their money where their mouth was and lost. So that's unfortunate.

Netflix itself crashed for a few minutes last night last night because so many people were refreshing and trying to like get this ninth episode. The Duffer brothers have yet to say anything. So there are still people they're like, look, they aren't saying no, that this isn't a thing. So they haven't officially said they've been a little bit vague and cheeky about it.

So okay, so we're gonna doesn't help the cause. When you first told me that there were people on the internet that were like, yeah, people think that there's a ninth episode. I went, no, there's not.

No, there's not. And then I watched some videos and people really deep dove into the Easter eggs and all the different hidden messages. So many things. I know. And then I kind of bought into a little bit.

Right. I was like, yeah, maybe. And then there was this concept of like, okay, if this is a thing, this will be revolutionary to how people treat the ending of a series because they did, they had been promoted as done. Netflix was on board. There were so many people that were just tied into this is the end of the show that for all of those people to know that there was going to be a ninth episode and and be involved in a promotion. And there were so many things and so many people it was like, if this happens, this is huge because it was so secret. Well, and they were kind of releasing all their episodes about six.

That's correct. And so about four o'clock, I said, Emery, because she bought into another episode too. And I said, it's four o'clock. And she goes, yeah, but they release them at six.

I said, I know that. But it's six o'clock on the East Coast. Yeah, they came out eight on East. Oh, did they?

Yeah, everything dropped at six PM Mountain. Okay, we actually had an argument about that. And she was right. She said, I think they got over there on the East Coast to eight. And I went, no, I think it was probably just six everywhere. Yeah, no, I came out at six Mountain. Okay.

When it dropped. But anyway, yeah, there is apparently, as of now, no actual ninth episode. And the finale is the finale is the finale. For now. Until we learn more. Somebody said about yesterday in the ninth episode, they said, either today's the day we either find out the Defer Brothers are the most amazing writers, or the worst. Yeah, see, and I think they're getting a bad rap for the finale that they did create. And I think again, I think the reason is because the same culture that existed around this ninth episode is the same culture that existed around fan theories for the entire last season.

Right. And I think they just developed a love for ideas, these community written ideas for how they wanted the show to end. And they liked it better than what they were handed from the actual show. And so social media kind of got a little bit too heavy handed.

I think so too. And ruined the experience for people. And, you know, our own son has been like, no, I don't like the writing. I don't like the dialogue. I don't like what they've done with the show.

It was fun. Now it's not like, I've heard it, like I get it. And the show doesn't have to be for everybody, not every single person has to be like, no, this show was great. I loved every minute of it. Even the last finale people have issues with. I thought that was lovely.

It was a great ending. And people will misinterpret it. Because not everybody watches the show at the same intensity level. Right.

Not everybody pays attention to every small detail. So anyway, there was no ninth episode. No ninth episode. Conformity gate. Closed. For now. Well, we are officially done with fantasy football. Both of my leagues have come to an end. We're entering into a wildcard weekend in the NFL this weekend. And as fantasy teams and leagues kind of wrap things up, there are trophies, there are sometimes money prizes that are awarded. And then on the other side of it, there are punishments.

Okay. And I've seen everything from people having to stand on a corner holding a sign that said, I'm no good at fantasy football to we were supposed to have a punishment here for the person that took last in our league. Where we really they're supposed to have, I believe they're supposed to go on to each of the individual radio stations in the building and proclaim that they're no good at fantasy football. But I've yet to see that being organized. I don't know if the commissioner is going to follow through on that or not. Probably not.

Because you know, the person who lost isn't going to do that. I don't know, maybe. She might. Maybe. But I might wander around.

I mean, you know, who knows. But here is one of the most horrifying fantasy football punishments I have heard of. This TikTok user, his name is Gabe, he came in last in his league and his punishment is to eat 71 hot dogs to match Joey Chestnut's fourth of July. Oh, hot dog eating contest number.

Ew. Does he have to do it in the amount of time that Joey? No, he does not. And he does not have to do it all in one sitting. However, he cannot have any other meals until he eats the 71 hot dogs. So his only meal is hot dogs until he consumes 71 and then he can have other food. He also has to eat them Joey Chestnut style. Ew.

Like soak the bun in water. Yeah. Gross. And he also can't have any other food with them. It's just hot dog and bun and cup of water. Ew. No ketchup or anything. Nothing. Oh, I couldn't do that challenge. I couldn't do it.

71 of them. And then he can have other food. Gross. How many would you eat in the day? One. One?

Yeah. It would take you 71 days. No, I just wouldn't do that challenge. I'm just saying let's get hypothetical here. Let's say this was the punishment and you lost and you had to eat the 71 hot dogs. How many would you eat? And I can't eat anything else until you eat the 71. I would probably eat gross. I hate hot dogs.

I know. I would probably do, I could probably get away with doing maybe like 10 a day. 10 a day? There's no way you're eating 10 hot dogs a day.

There is zero chance. Josh, I would just want to get through it as quickly as possible. I understand, but there is no way you're eating 10 hot dogs a day.

I could probably do five for lunch and five for dinner. Absolutely not. There's no way.

Why don't you think so? You barely eat one, maybe two hot dogs when we're grilling them. I get it.

And that's with stuff on them. I know, but I would want to get through it as quickly as possible. You're never eating five hot dogs. Well, thanks for having some faith in me.

I'm going to say at most you could eat four a day and that's going to take you almost 18 days. I know. That's why I'm like, I'm going to go quick as possible. 10 a day. You're never going to consume 10 hot dogs a day. Plus your triglycerides are going to go crazy. I know. My doctor is not going to be happy.

That's a terrible challenge. How many would you eat in a day? I could probably do five or six a day. Oh, I've only seen you eat two a day. Not a day. I could do two to three per meal.

That's what I was saying. I would have one for breakfast because that's awful. And then I would do like two for lunch and two or three for dinner. So that is five or six a day. That's at most. I'm not sitting down there to eat a bunch. And that's still going to take me, if I do six a day, that's still going to take me almost 12 days. I know. That's the craziest part.

It's going to be a two weeks of hot dogs only situation. Yeah. That's a terrible punishment. I'm glad I'm not. Be better at fantasy football. It's not even up to you. It's up to your players that you don't control. Fantasy football is stupid.

So you want to join a league next year? No, we're not doing it again. You and I are not doing it again. I've been grounded from fantasy football. You because you are no fun to be around when you lose.

I know. And me because I only want the players that I know on my team. I didn't get them on my team this year and it was boring. I didn't know those players.

Okay. You didn't take the time to get to know them either. That's true. They could have been great. A lot of them were great.

Yeah. I didn't want to know them. Well, get to know 71 hot dogs because that's what we're having for meals for the next two weeks.

Get over yourself. Let's talk about school pickup. It is awful. It's awful no matter what grade or school your child is in. When our kids were in elementary school, it was awful. Yep.

When our kids were in middle school, it was awful. See, the drop off isn't as bad because I think people arrive at different times. The drop off is like a little, it's a little quicker. I feel like the pickup takes more time.

Yes, it does. And everybody's there at the same time because there's, there's a, there's a defined start time, but people kind of trickle in and, and you, you go, okay, have a good day at school. See you later. And you, they get out and they drive off. Yeah.

On the pickup side, everybody's there. Yeah. And then the students come out and then they, like, there's no rhyme or reason to it. No, it's chaos. It's a mess.

It's just a mess. And where we pick up our daughter in particular, I have some grievances. You normally do the school pickup for our daughter. She's not yet driving.

She's just getting close. Yeah. But you normally do the pickup. Yeah.

Yesterday I had to go do the pickup and I hate it so much. I know. Here's the, here's the big problem for me. There are, I want to, there are four exits from the school.

Okay. And three. There, there are three and then a fourth down the other way. Okay. So they have designated right and left turn onlys and no one obeys it.

No. And that's what messes the whole thing up. But here's the thing about the right and left turns out of the parking lot. The time that they have on the sign needs to be updated and they need to have some sort of enforcement. If there's one thing I would do, it would be to go through the trouble of standing out there and saying, no, So, you have to turn right here.

You have to turn right. Okay. Are you going to volunteer for that? Sure. Because I'm that grouchy about it.

But here's the thing. On the sign it says you have to obey these right and left turns between the hours of like 3.30 and 4. But school used to get out earlier. So the signs and the right and left turn only were put in place during a high traffic time. But the school bell schedules changed. And the signs have not been changed to keep up with the school bell schedule. So by the time everybody hits the sign it's 4. And they go, oh, I don't have to do that.

It's after the time on the sign. I have a grievance. Apparently we're hearing it. It drives me nuts. That's not my complaint. My complaint is that there is a parking lot in front of the school. And visitor parking lots and handicapped parking lots.

That's right. In front of the school. And then there's a line of cars. Correct. Lined up behind them.

Yeah. Picking up their kids. And a lot of them are there for minutes upon minutes of time. And so if you're parked in one of those visitor handicapped spots. You can't get out. You're trapped. That's right.

And I have actually stopped going. That's where you pick her up, right? You get in that line but in the back. So you're not walking.

I've more often now I park. Okay. I hate that line. I'll never get in that line. You know why? Because it blocks people that are parked.

I know. And there are people that get there. At like, I think the bell rings at 3.50. But I think people start lining up there at 3 o'clock.

I would agree. Because I've gotten there very early before. And there's already tons of cars parked there. That's right. It's insane. I know. You know who hates it more than you and I or anybody else? Who?

The school. I'm sure. I'm positive because they hear all the complaints about it. Yep.

100%. And there's very little they can do other than have someone out there that says, no, we're going to line up over here. Because people are going to do whatever they want to do.

You're exactly right. And they're not even supposed to park. That's a fire zone.

I know. They're not even supposed to park there. Anyway, yesterday I went and parked. And I said, here I am. Come find me.

Right. And she said, that's not any help. I went, come find me. And there was a car that had parked in like the exit zone area, put its hazards on and said, nope, this is where I'm waiting to pick up my kid.

Oh man. Did not park in a spot and it blocked up all kinds of traffic. Yeah. And it was like, nope, I'm not moving. I know. That's the worst. It is the worst. School pickup is the worst.

I'm glad that I don't do that every day. Forward to her having to drive in it. Cause it's a disaster. It is a disaster.

And there's high school kids and there's. It is one of the most stressful moments of my day every day. I don't want to go do this.

I know. And that's when people go like, I'm not going even in the parking lot. I'll just pick you up on the road. Yeah. I'll just pull over on the grass.

You can come meet me here. Yep. There are people who do that. I see those people and I go.

Because those people are like, I'm not dealing with that parking lot. Yeah. It's chaos.

It just is awful. I need a spot. Thanks for doing it every day. I need a spot where I go. This is where you can come find me.

I will be here. Cause I'm not going in that parking lot. No, I hate it. I hate it too. It's as annoying as a roundabout for me. I didn't know it also stressed you out.

I thought you were pretty chill about it. No, I hate it. I hate it too.

And I, I hate it when people don't do what's good for the community of everybody's in this together. We all need to get in and out of this parking lot. Turn the way the sign says you're clogging up the flow because you're doing what you're not supposed to do because it makes your drive quicker. Turn right. You're in the right turn only thing.

If you want to turn left, go to the turn left exit. I like when Josh gets hot. Makes me cranky. Did you know that Bath & Body Works had a candle last month called pizza and ranch? I did not know that.

I did not know this either. What did it smell like? Pizza and ranch. Imagine they call it that. It just smells like a bouquet. It debuted last month.

It's already been discontinued because it was making people gag. Really? The notes. Oh, it has notes of pepperoni and a hint of red sauce. Notes of gooey cheese. Picking up hints of hidden valley.

And crispy pepperonis. Yeah. But it was making people hoot? Yeah. No kidding.

It really was. There was a TikTok that went viral where a bunch of girls smelled it in the store and looked like they were going to actually be sick in the store. It sold out on their website and people magazine says they're not restocking it.

I can't believe it sold out unless people were giving it as a gag gift or a literal gag gift. Yeah, well done. Thank you.

Good joke. They had dropped the price from $26 to $8. $26 for a candle?

You out of your mind? It was part of a new line of candles called perfect pairings. Pizza and ranch. They had coffee and donuts. Okay.

Popcorn and slushy and chips and salsa. Yeah. Apparently the chips and salsa one is also pretty blit.

Blit? Uh-huh. But you can still get that one?

Yeah, that one I think is still available. Well, I kind of want to smell the pizza ranch one just to see if it's really not that good. Do you think they've got it in a clearance bin? No, they got it. Look, if anybody has it, I want to smell it. Somebody has to have one. Somebody has one. Somebody has one. I want to smell it. I want to smell the pizza ranch candle.

Here's an idea. Go to your fridge. Open the fridge. That's different.

Open the ranch. I know. I don't want to smell that. I want to smell this candle. I don't want to smell that like weird, transparent ranch that's stuck to the lid. I kind of want to smell the popcorn and slushy one. What do you think it smells like? Notes of butter. Hints of movie.

Cherry. Yeah. Interesting.

All right. Well, hey, if you get your hands on one, I want to smell it. Hey, perfect pairings candles. What would you pair up? Josh and Chantel.

Oh. The Josh and Chantel candle. What does that smell like?

Sweat. Why? Gross.

I don't know. It could smell nice. We smell nice. Do we?

Yeah. I do smell nice today. I keep getting a little bit of it. Like a gym would smell like sweat. My hair smells nice. Gross.

Yeah. So like whatever your hair smells like mixed with whatever my beard smells like. Gross.

I have a beard product. It's nice. Okay.

I have a softener in there. Okay. Did you know that about me? I did not. You didn't. You didn't know I use a beard softener. I did not. You don't use it every day though.

No. But I use it like. Did you use it today? A couple times a week, no. Well, then you don't smell like that today. No, but I'm saying I do have that.

Okay. So it could smell nice. It doesn't have to smell gross. Perfect pairings.

Nice. So earlier in the show, we talked about the 90s and then we talked about the smells of this candle pairing. And now I want to kind of combine the two and I want to talk about what did the 90s smell like? Like heaven. Okay. You think so? I like the 90s.

That was my time. So somebody asked this online and there is a whole bunch of really good answers. And the more I read these like flannel, the more nostalgic I got. Like, yeah, yeah, you go like, oh flannel. Yeah. Right. But listen to this.

Hold on. Sunshine. Blockbuster and Hollywood video popcorn. I don't think I ever had that. When you walked into the movie rental place and they had the popcorn machine going and you were picking out a movie.

Great smell. Whether it was walkers or it was blockbuster or what was the other one? Hollywood. No, Hollywood blockbuster. Great American. Great American video. Thank you.

That's the one I was thinking of. What about pay less shoes? Oh. See, I'm going to start saying words and you're going to start thinking about the smells. Yeah. And all of a sudden you get hit with the nostalgia real big. It's like when we played heads up seven up and I could smell my desk.

Yeah. Winter fresh gum. It was the blue one. They still make that, don't they? Yeah, but that was like a big deal. I don't.

Because it was big red, juicy fruit, winter fresh. Nickelodeon Gac. They're slime. Okay.

Yeah. Cinnabon and Sbarro. The pizza place in the mall?

We never had a Cinnabon. No, we had Mrs. Powell's or whatever. That was the one in the mall and then you had, they had cookie samples and it was all good. The closest mall that we had because we didn't have a mall. The Magic Valley Mall? The Magic Valley Mall. Yeah.

We did have a Sbarro and we did have a Mrs. Powell's. Curve. Oh, yeah. Which I still wear. I still have curve. From the 90s?

No. Or a new bottle. From newer times. Same recipe though.

Pizza Hut Deep Dish. Oh, yeah. Oh, yeah?

Oh, yeah. The good Pizza Hut Deep Dish. I wore like a vanilla bean. Vanilla was on here.

Set. The other one that I've been saving because it was the most, like CK1 was probably the second most common smell. Calvin Klein one? Teen Spirit is on here. Garden hose and Nerf footballs, grass and hose water. Plenty of people said cigarette smoke, but the number one most common listed smell of the 90s, cucumber melon. Yes. It was everywhere. Yes, it was.

Agreed. Loshens, candle, shampoo. Cucumber melon. Yep. And then that warm vanilla.

Those were the two. Cucumber melon and warm vanilla. Warm vanilla. Yeah, that was my lotion. Yeah.

If you could have guessed what I smelled like in the 90s, it would be warm vanilla. Nice. It was. And outside. I smelled like outside. Yeah, me too.

All the time. Anyway, kind of an interesting question. What are the 90s smell like? What would you say 2025 smelled like? Last year? Yeah.

Like smoke coming out of electronics is not good. Why? That's how it ended. The blown up amp. I don't remember. A blown up amp? Yeah. I was trying to help Beck put that subwoofer in and blew it up. Oh, that's right.

In his car. Yeah. Okay. So that was a stink. That sums up the whole year. Well, part of it.

10 minutes of smell and you're like, nope. That was 2025. That's it. That's all I'll remember.

The year the amp blew up. I know. Sad. What do you think 25 smelled like? What do I think it smelled like? Certainly not camping because we didn't do enough of that.

Yeah. Didn't smell like the woods. No, it didn't. That's what we're going to shoot for this year. That's right.

26. The year the woods. Lots of camping and fishing and hanging out in the woods. I like it. It's going to smell like the wilderness this year. You're 2025 smelled like fish.

Because you cut all your fish. Oh boy. Right?

I can't believe it. Smells like fish. Here's the 2026 smelling better than that. You said something to me yesterday and you said you were going to put together a list. Yeah. So a video that I saw yesterday was a woman asking her husband if things that he does for her are the bare minimum as a partner or were they considered princess treatment like he was going above and beyond. So I've got some questions for you.

I want you to tell me if you think that it's princess treatment or bare minimum. All right. Sounds this kind of a game. Yes. Do I need notes? Nope.

All right. Filling up my car with gas. Look, this is going to get challenging. This is already on a bad start. Here's the reason that this is going to get challenging.

Because there are things that I know you're capable of and then there are things that I could do as just a kindness. Yes. That's bare minimum, I think. So like, yeah, you know how to fill your gas and you do it for your own car more often than I do for your car. Correct.

Right? I don't think you've ever filled the gas in a truck. I don't ever drive it. I get it. But that's what I'm saying. Is that like you, you know, so it like the only reason we would have me do the gas is because I was driving. But I did drive your old truck a lot.

Yeah, the Tacoma. And I filled that up. Yeah, a couple of times, sure. Yeah.

So that one's a tough one because it feels bare minimum. It is. But it's not princess for me to do it.

No, that's not princess. But it's also like something you're fully capable of doing yourself. So I didn't know there would just be like every day like things you do normally in there. Let's what's that? What else is on the list?

Okay, let's move on. Cooking dinner. That's, I do that. I enjoy that. Bare minimum, right?

Okay, sure. Defrosting my car in the morning. I do that sometimes.

I scrape windows. But you're not answering the question. Oh, that's not a princess thing. That's fine. Thank you.

What about if we're flying and you grab my bag and put it in the overhead compartment? That's fine. That's normal. That's bare minimum. Yeah, that's not a princess thing.

Okay, thank you. You having to drive everywhere. Not having to, but you do. I prefer to. I know.

So you driving everywhere. Do you consider that princess treatment? No, it's not princess treatment. Okay. Now, I would say there are different levels of passenger princess and you're not even to the extreme on that.

Thank you. Like, well, we settle down. There are a few things that I wish the car had because specifically separate climate control because there are times when I'm like sweating to death and you're like freezing. And then there are times when you're like, why is it so hot in here?

And I'm like, because I'm chilly and we can't ever compromise on the temperature in the, in the truck when I'm driving because there's no separate climate control. Okay. That was a genius thing that somebody invented. What are you saying about that? No, I'm saying that you're not even a passenger princess.

You're barely even a passenger. Like you're there and the only thing that you ever adjust is that. And the music. Well, yeah. And the, but that's fine on longer trips or whatever, but you don't have like a blanket and a pillow and a Stanley cup and take your shoes off and like really like, you know what I mean?

Like you're like, no, this is. I don't drive. I'm the passenger and here are all of my things. But I take my passenger duties seriously. I navigate when you need me to.

Totally get a monitor. Yeah. You're a copilot entertainment in the car.

Yeah. You're an active copilot until you're not. And when you're not, you're, you're out and that's fine.

And then I'm solo flying the truck. It's cool. What else you got on here? Letting me tuck my cold toes.

Hate it. Oh wait, you never let me do that. That's right. That's princess behavior. Yeah.

You could let me do a little bit of that. We have a heated blanket on the foot of the bed. Yeah. Because you won't let me tuck my cold toes.

Yeah. Warm them up. I can't because you won't let me tuck them under your warm body.

Go run them under the hot water faucet. Something. Do something else. Are there anything that you do that you do consider princess treatment? No. Anything that I've come to expect that you do? I can't think of anything. I don't either. No, I don't. There's no like, take my boots off when I get home.

Well, sometimes she'll grab like bags and stuff from me and I'll be like, I got this. It's fine. Yeah. That's bare minimum. I got it.

You shouldn't have to carry all the groceries in one trip. I can take more. Okay.

But you've got something to prove, I guess. I just want to get into the house as quick as possible because it's cold. Yeah. Well, that's all. So sometimes I'll take things away and go, I got this. But no, you're not a princess.

Thank you. I don't want to be a princess. Sometimes. Not even a passenger princess. When do you want to be a princess? Just occasionally.

Because the only thing you said was you wanted to tuck your feet. Yeah. And I think no. So what else is it? What else is it that you expect?

The princess? Well, I give you a lot of back scratches and I don't get any in return. Any fewer.

I get fewer back scratches than you get. I would like more. I could have some right now.

Same. I love a back scratch. I know you do. You want to scratch my back? No.

Another one bites the dust. You should be playing that music right now. Oh, I should? Yeah, because we lost another NFL coach. Oh. Not lost. He's still alive. Yeah. He just got fired.

Okay. Mike McDaniel. Miami Dolphins. Mike McDaniel has been let go.

This happened this morning. I'm really like watching him. I do too. And I know that, look, there's a lot going on with that team. Tyreeq's been frustrated for a long time. Tua has had too many head injuries. Yeah, that bro's got some CTE issues.

I worry about Tua. I know that when you first started watching football three or four years ago and really started getting into it, we really enjoyed watching hard knocks with the Dolphins. It was really good. We really got to know that team. And here's the thing about Mike McDaniel. He, as a young boy, has been a big fan of football and got the opportunity to join a coaching team pretty young and then made it into head coach position. And he's a smart guy. He's a smart play designer. He's a really cool, interesting guy.

But boy has he been in the spotlight for the wrong reasons over the past couple of years. Yeah. Well, his firing marks the eighth coach that's been hired this season. This is the eight, fired this season?

Yeah. You said hired. Oh, no, I said fired.

I think it just sounded like I said hired. But so he is the eighth. The eighth. Out of 32 teams, we are now at a fourth of the teams are going to have new coaches.

That's crazy. Now I did hear a rumor that they reached out to Harbaugh, John Harbaugh yesterday before they let Mike go. So John Harbaugh, who we were talking about yesterday, who was let go by the Ravens may get picked up by Miami, maybe rumor, rumor, rumor. The Ravens don't have a coach. The Browns are out of a coach. The Raiders, the Cardinals, the Falcons, the Giants and the Titans and now the Dolphins. Wow. So the Dolphins or any of these teams could snag any of these coaches and be like, yeah, we want you. Yeah.

Interesting. Now if you're Mike, how many years has he been in Miami? Do you know? I don't. Yeah.

But a while. And somebody calls and goes, hey, come to Cleveland. Come to Cleveland.

I'm just saying. Come to Cleveland. We're making magic happen.

Go from Miami to Cleveland. That's what I'm saying. Like, what's that like? Oh, yeah. That's crazy. I know.

That is crazy. Where does he end up in LA? Or Vegas.

I saw somebody did a photo shot. Not LA. Sorry. I meant Vegas.

I meant Vegas. What if Bill Belichick ends up getting back in the mix? How dare you say that to me? 70 whatever year old Bill Belichick.

What if he ends up coaching Miami or coaching Las Vegas? Ew. Yeah. What if? Wouldn't it be cool if there was a woman coach? Yeah. That would be dope. Yeah, it would.

I would certainly get into football more. Okay. Do it. Go coach. Oh, I'm not going to coach. I'm not going to do that.

But I guarantee you. What part of it is coaching? What part of coaching is keeping you away the most?

I don't know anything about football. Okay. That's a good one. But maybe you'd have new ideas.

No, number one. Maybe you'd be like, take the principles you yell at TV and put them into action on the field. Stop running into where the guys are. Run away from them. Quit running right into the pile of other people waiting for you. Go around the players. Teach them that. Teach them that. Hey guys, revolutionary idea.

I got this idea. Instead of going into where all the guys are standing, go around. Go around them.

Try that. And also run faster than the people chasing you. These are great coaching principles. And also get more touchdowns.

See, you sounding like Mike McDaniel already because we didn't win because we didn't get as many points. Yeah. That's how his pressers go. Yeah. Yeah.

Our bad. I like your concept on coaching though. I think if you just said, like, no, we're not going to wear those uniforms.

They look tacky. Get it. Do better. No, we'll get fine if we don't wear those uniforms. No, I'm saying, but some of the color schemes you don't like.

Oh, right. And you'd be like, no, we're never wearing those again. That's why I could never, I could never coach the Browns because their uniforms are ick.

All right. What about those, uh, those orange, uh, cream sickle ones that the Buccaneers wear sometimes, you know, what about the black and yellow stripe when the Steelers were sometimes. Yeah. Those aren't bad. You don't think they're bad? No. They're not my favorite.

Well, go tell them. Listen up. That would be, I would love to see a woman coach. I know there's some out there that would do a great job. I want to see you do it.

I'm not going to. It'd be awesome. They wouldn't take me seriously the day I walked in. Would you go by coach C? I don't know. I guess. Hey, coach C. Be like, yeah, that's right. Take me seriously. Oh, is that your coach voice? Yeah. Cool. Give me like a, like an inspirational locker room speech. What's that sound like? Go get him. Wow.

Can't wait to win. Uh, let's ask that age old question where you get two options and pick one. Would you rather this or that? Would you rather forget someone's name or call them by the wrong name?

I've had both happen far too often. I know a guy named Randy and I know a guy named Danny and I confused the two of them all the time. They're both great guys. I just confuse them. And then I was talking to somebody else and I was like, I really like Randy and they're like, you mean Danny? And I went, yep, that's what I meant.

And I went, I called him Randy to his face. I hate it. I would rather forget somebody's name because at least you can just like, you can play it off like, Hey, what's going on? You never have to mention their name.

But if you go, Hey, Randy and they go, Oh, it's not my name. That's worse. Well, but he didn't even correct me. I know because nobody does. I've been called the wrong name countless times.

Yeah. How do you correct somebody? Here's the, here's what makes it worse though is that like, I know this person in a professional setting, right? It's a business thing that I know this person.

It's not necessarily like an overly personal thing, but I see him and I go, Hey, how's it going, Randy? And then I went, that's not even your name. It's not your name.

I know your name is Danny. I know that, but I messed it up because I confused you with another guy who I know in the same space, both professionally and I just got you like backwards. If you remember in the same conversation and say, I called you Randy, I'm sorry. I'd finished the conversation and then was talking to someone else and they were, you mean Danny? And I went, I completely messed that up. I know, but I don't dwell on it. It just is a thing that I have to deal with. I forget names. Someone will like, I'll get introduced to somebody and seconds later I'm like, did they say their name was Scott? I totally don't remember their name.

It's completely gone. And I've tried the tricks. I've done the like, Oh, hey, nice to meet you, Steve. And then I go, Oh, his name was Scott. What was it?

I totally forgot what his name was. I just, if somebody calls me the wrong name, there's no way I'm going to correct them because that's embarrassing to them because guaranteed they didn't mean to say my name incorrectly. Okay. And so I don't want to embarrass them. But it's also like, if I don't correct them, they're going to call me the wrong name all the time.

And that did happen. I knew a gentleman who called me the wrong name all the time. And it wasn't, it was a part of my name. It was just wrong.

He would call me Shan all the time. Right. And it's Chantel. And he was nice. And I know he meant no ill will. And I was like, I'm never going to correct him because he's so nice.

But every email I sent to him, I'd say, Good morning. It's Chantel. Oh, hey, Shan.

Tell. Right. Right, right, right. And then I like, it's my own fault for spelling Tyler weird, but it gets mispronounced all the time. And I go, again, like you've announced me as like, Hey, we've got this person.

Who's hanging out with us today. It's teeler teeler. And I go, no, it's not Tyler. Just like Tyler. I understand how it's spelled, but it's still just pronounced Tyler. But it's spelled weird. And so it gets messed up all the time, but it's just Tyler. It's just Tyler. What are you going with? Forget or call the wrong name.

I do them all all the time. They're both uncomfortable. I'm going to forget because I think you can brush that off easier. I still hate when that happens. Like I run into somebody who I, I never forget a face. I know faces. I see people and I go, I know that person.

And then they go, Hey, how's it going? Haven't seen you in a while. How's things? And I go, I don't even know when I met you. You say, Hey, good.

How are you? I know. And that's what I end up doing.

But it feels so like it feels so. Hey, Susan, good to see you. Empty. It feels empty because I don't remember your name or where I know you from or I'm terrible at it.

They hurt their face. Yeah, I know. I go, yeah, your face is really familiar. If you saw somebody and you're like, I don't know. No, I don't recognize you at all. That happens sometimes too. And I go, I don't know who that was.

I don't even know how to pick. Getting old, my guy. No, this has been my whole life. This isn't because I'm old. This is not new. This is just my brain for getting people. It's terrible.

Would you rather this or that? Well, it's been two weeks since Christmas. Has it really? Yeah. Oh, which is wild to even say out loud. But yeah, that's happened. So back then, if you'll remember, you were talking about getting Christmas gelato.

Yep. It was a thing you wanted to do. You ended up getting Rocky Road ice cream instead. Yeah, because someone poo pooed all over my gelato idea. So then you went and got Rocky Road ice cream.

Yeah. And I guess I poo pooed all over that too. You did. Yeah. Because I'm a fuddy duddy. You are.

As we've discussed. Pooh-poo-er. I'm a no fun fuddy duddy. Yep. Okay, good. Got that settled. Now, I just found out that yesterday you had gelato. I did. I would like to know a little bit about this experience because you're kind of big on the gelato thing.

Well. And you've been talking about going to get gelato and every time you go in, it's packed and you don't get to have your gelato. So it sounds like yesterday you went and had lunch. No, no, no, no.

This was leftover gelato. Uh-huh. I had.

Just as good as brand new? Yeah. Oh, yeah. Oh, yeah.

Okay. And my other job, we had gotten gelato for a lunch. Uh-huh. And that's when I first had the gelato and thought, what an idea for Christmas.

Right. This was a mango gelato you had then. What'd you have yesterday? Well, I had the mango again because it was so good the first time.

Well, great. And then a co-worker of mine said, try the salted caramel. It's so good. And? So I did. And that was also delicious. Right. And then guess what?

What? What's your favorite dessert of all time? Of all time, all time? Uh-huh. Brownies? Okay. Next. Oh. Oh, it's a different one. Biscoff?

Oh, okay, sure. You like Biscoff cookies? You like Biscoff cookie butter? Yeah, I don't call it a dessert.

I call that a meal. Guess what? What? Gelato we had. What else?

Cookie butter. You never told me they had that. I did because the first time I got it, I sent you a picture and I said, would you change your mind if you knew this was here? I don't have that picture. I'm going to send it to you again or I'm going to look through our texts and see. Okay. Because guaranteed I sent it to you. Okay, but I don't remember that.

Guess what? I took a bite of it. It was good? Delicious.

I bet it was. And I said, as I was eating that spoonful, I said, he totally regretted his decision now, I bet. I don't because I didn't have that decision to make, but that's fine. Listen, I was never not on board with Christmas Gelato. Yes, you were.

There was just enough hustle and bustle going on. I didn't want to go out. Wrong. Wrong. No, I said, why not just get ice cream? It's easier. It's more readily available.

You didn't say that. Because I didn't want to go out with all the people. Bro, you're going to go out to get gelato or you're going to go out and get ice cream.

Either way, you're going out. That is a point. Whatever. I had gelato and it was delicious and you're missing out.

I don't even know what I'm missing out on. That's exactly the point, isn't it? I guess. I'm confused about the point. I've lost the point. I don't know what the point is anymore, but apparently it's that I missed out.

The point is that you're wrong about gelato. It's so good. It might be. It is fine.

Good for gelato. Here's the thing. What's the thing now? The point is ice cream and gelato can exist in the same world and both be gelato. It's delicious. No, that's true. I'm not saying you have to pick one or the other, but when I said we can get ice cream anytime, we never get gelato. You can get gelato anytime.

Let's get gelato. Clearly. I know that, but you poo pooed the idea and now I'm mad about it still.

Two weeks ago and we're still in it. Got it. You brought it up. Technically, you said I had gelato yesterday and I went, oh, let's talk about it. I didn't bring it up. I said, let's talk about it. Yeah. You wanted to dredge it up. No, that's not what I wanted.

I was like, let's bring back two week old emotions. You said, let's talk about it, which means let's dredge it back up. Yeah. My bad. My fault.

Sorry, everybody. You want to wrap up the show and get some gelato? Yeah, I do.

Yeah. Look at your eyebrows. If it's a mango gelato, it counts as breakfast. What?

And it kind of fruit flavored dessert counts as breakfast. Is that right? I don't think that's true. It is. Ask anyone. No.

It is. Science is spoken. No, you have. Let's wrap this up. Okay.

Have a great rest of your Thursday, tomorrow's Friday. Oh, you guys. Yeah. We've almost made it the full week. Yeah, get through today. We'll talk about more tomorrow.
