I'm a one woman barbershop quartet. Hello. Hello. Hello. Hello.

Hello? I smelled you that it would get better. Wow. It doesn't sound like that in the podcast. I told you I'd know I needed to warm up my pipes.

Mhmm. Rest in peace, Val Kilmer. That's a sad one. That one hurts. Yeah.

Someone keeps feeding the dog breakfasts. I'll tell you, it's the two ladies in the house. Yeah. You gotta quit feeding the dog so much breakfast. Who's your book boyfriend, Josh?

I guess? Yeah. Okay. Cool. Good job.

Cool. Cool. Cool. Put the shopping carts in the corral. That's easy.

It's a simple task. It's pretty easy. Just minimal. The big bear eaglets have names? That's right.

We'll introduce you to them in the show. Yes. We will. I handle the stress of getting pulled over like a champ. That's right.

And you don't get mad at me at all. Let's talk PB and J sandwiches. We gotta have sandwiches in the show every day. Every day. I mean, it's a real important part of the show.

It is. It's a big day for the new Idaho Falls Water Tower. Lift that bowl. Big day. Big day, I have.

Speed bumps and zigzags. I neither are gonna be effective. No. I don't. I agree.

And the Nintendo Switch two and a new Mario Kart game are just two months away. You're excited. I am excited about the game, but I'll I'll never play it because I'm not spending that money. So I'll spend that money. I do.

Two zero three. Two zero three. Enjoy the show. Enjoy. Hey.

Good morning. Hello. Hello. Hello. Oh, you're a barbershop quartet.

A one woman barbershop quartet. I had all of the pieces down. Did you tell? Oh, there were all four of you. I heard them.

Sure did. I was not expecting that this morning. Neither was I. But That just sprang up. Yeah.

Wasn't there, it might have been Laverne and Shirley, a show like that where there were a couple of dudes or three or four of them that entered the room that way. Yeah. I don't think it was Laverne and Shirley, though. Because I remember that, and I didn't watch a lot of Laverne and Shirley. Yeah.

It was some it was a show like that. Yeah. I don't know when it was. But Let me look it up. That that sounds like a like a Nick at night thing that would have been on when I was depressed because Nickelodeon became Nick at night at night, and I was a Nickelodeon kid.

And so when my Nickelodeon was gone and it turned to the famous mister Ed Oh, yeah. And, and Andy Griffith and Uh-huh. All that. All the black and whites. And Bewitched.

Like, all of that stuff would come on. And I go, man Yeah. Nickelodeon's done. I got a couple like, it was on they had some on the Lucy show. They had some on the Andy Griffith show.

Yeah. They had some on Friends. So Several different shows. I could be I could be blending everything together. It's on Lake Of Classy 97.

Yeah. Look at you. Hello. Hello. Hello.

Hello. Oh. Hey. It's early. These pipes haven't warmed up yet.

I get it. But let's let me get going, and then I'll really show you what I can do. I'm I'm excited. So far, your barbershop quartet warm up has been my favorite part of the show. Looks so good.

Right? Yeah. Way to set a tone. A tone. Four different ones.

Or the same one. Is that the name of your barbershop quartet? Set a tone? Set a tone. Yeah.

We are Setatone. It's one person. It's the one one woman. Parts. Yeah.

Yeah. One woman barbershop quartet called Setatone. We're a quintet, actually. Oh, is that right? Good for you.

Hey. It's Wednesday. And guess who remembered garbage day? I saw that you would take the gar taken the garbage out. Yeah.

You got outside before I did. Yeah. Because the dog. Yeah. I know.

What was that? I don't know. Yeah. 3AM, she wanted a party, and I'm like, no, dude. It is too early.

Go to bed. Here we are. We're here. Alright. Well, good morning.

It is Josh and Chantel. Hi. Sad news this morning. Really sad news. Like, right out the gate.

Yeah. Actor Val Kilmer, passed away yesterday, the age of 65, which he's been dealing with, throat cancer for a long time. But they're saying that, the cause here was pneumonia. Is that right? That's what his daughter is saying.

I'm so sad. I love Val Kilmer. I love what's your favorite Val Kilmer movie? I mean okay. Top Gun Iceman is huge.

Yeah. Huge, huge, huge on the list, because that's probably the the first thing I saw him, in. Okay. He was in Batman. I first saw him in a little movie called Willow where he is Yeah.

Mad Martin again. Really? Oh, great. That's right. I love that movie.

He's Doc Holliday in two Miss Doc Holliday. Yeah. Which is which is a huge, huge, huge part. He's amazing in that movie. Jim Morrison in the doors.

He was incredible in that movie. Right. It's sad secret? Latrine. Come on.

He has some He was in a in the nineties movie called Heat. He was in the island of doctor Moreau. He was in true romance where he played Elvis. Oh. Yeah.

I didn't I haven't seen those ones. I have seen him play Batman, though. He was a good Batman. He's no Michael Keaton. Only Batman once.

Just once. One movie, which was one of the Tim Burton's, wasn't it? Is it Batman forever? Because it was the, there were two Michael Keatons and then Val Kilmer, I think, was the was right after that. Maybe.

I think you're right. I think you are right. But, anyway, sad, sad news. Val Kilmer, passed at 65, survived by two children and his ex wife, Joanne. So there I I don't I don't even know what to say.

That one really caught me off guard this morning. Me too. I wasn't I wasn't expecting it. I'm I'm sure nobody was. That's, that's the sad news of it.

Have to have a Val Kilmer, beat Marathon? Marathon. Yeah. I think you're right. Willow's gotta be on there.

Well yeah. And so does tombstone. And Top Gun. Yeah. I mean, at the very least, and we should probably watch as Batman.

So those four. Okay. Well, I would love that Batman. What? But I'll watch it.

Okay. Well, is that the, the one with Arnold Schwarzenegger as mister Freeze? Correct. A different Iceman? Yes.

Yeah. Alright. Yeah. Alright. Good job.

K. Well, there you go. That's that's the sad news of the day this morning. And we'll have good news to get you going next. We'll we'll switch things around and, and share some good news.

Next. Some good news to get you going. This is a huge act of generosity, in New York. This is Bohemia, New York. King Quality Roofing and Siding, they're a company there.

They donated a brand new roof to the Veterans of Foreign, Wars post sixty two forty nine in Rocky Point. Okay. This center has been struggling with a leaky roof. And when King Quality CEO Jeff Brett got a letter from the commander Joseph a, Konator, I think Okay. Requesting help with his roof.

He immediately knew that he wanted to step in in a special way. So he sent his team to install a new roof free of charge. The Veterans of Foreign Wars Post is a nonprofit organ organization. They can use, more money than they've raised on projects that support veterans and their families. They don't need to be using that on the roof.

Right? So he said, spend the money on the families. Don't worry about this. I'll take care of the roof. Let's at least get you going there.

Jeff was inspired to donate the roof. Both of his, grandfather and his father are veterans. They sacrifice he said their sacrifices inspire me every day, and I'm proud that King Quality can give back in this way. So very, very cool thing to help out with. And now this post is gonna be able to function a little bit better.

They're gonna have to have buckets laying around. Leaky roof. Mhmm. Come on. Right?

Good for them. Good for that guy for helping out. Yeah. Very, very cool. I like a good story like that.

That's some good news to get you going. I had to send our daughter a text this morning that's oh, I send her a text every morning that says, hey. Good morning. This morning, I had to send her a text and said, good morning. Do not feed the dog.

Yeah. Do not believe her lie. This has been going on for a a couple of days now. She's been waking up early. The dog.

The dog has been waking up early, and, and then you've let her out or I've let her out or whatever, she comes back in, and she gets breakfast. That's, like, her thing. I go to I go outside. I come back inside. I get breakfast.

That's my first thing I do in the morning. So that's kind of what she's become accustomed to. And if you don't feed her, when she runs in and looks at an empty bowl, you kinda feel bad. So you're like, alright. I'll get you some food.

But then she lounges about until our daughter gets up to get ready for school, and she's like, hey. You should let me out. No worries. Feed me when I get back in, and I'll go look at my empty bowl. Fed me this morning.

So yesterday, she got two breakfasts and a treat before our daughter left for school. And this has happened at dinner time too. Yeah. She'll get two dinners sometimes. This dog has got the life.

I know. And she's like, this is great. I can just get all the food I want if I just play my cards right. Look at you like I haven't been fed. No one has even taken any care of me.

I know. So this morning, you you, you've stepped in and said she's already had breakfast. Not believe her lies. I like it. She's been fed.

I just got a thumbs up. Message has been received. Sorry, dog. You get One breakfast. No Hobbit day for you.

But what about second breakfast, she'll say? Well, Emery was even picking her up yesterday, and she said she's getting kinda chubby. Well, she's eating four meals. Too much, and it's too cold to take her outside. Well, not so bad.

You can bundle up. No. I'm not. Somebody else can. No.

I'm not. I see. Might I remind you? Oh, here we go. I didn't even want the dog.

That follows me around and lays its head on my leg while I'm sitting on the couch reading. That's because she knows I take care of her. Mhmm. I know. That's what happens when you get a dog.

That's why I didn't want a dog. Because they latch on to you? Yes. And then when they die I know. Because they will before you, it's too sad.

It is sad times. Two breakfast. That dog. Well, way to step in today. We ask we need some sort of, little, thing that we can put on the food bag that's, you know, like the dishwasher, clean dirty thing.

Fed, not fed. I don't know. That's a good idea, Joe. Or just text. That's working well.

So far, if I remember, I tried to remember yesterday, but didn't. And that's why she got two breakfasts yesterday. And a treat. All before 09:00. That's a crazy dog.

I often give her lots of treats because that's the only way to keep her occupied. So when I'm home, she's, like, all up in my face bugging me. Alright. Let's give you some more peanut butter. It's probably too much peanut butter, but you won't leave me alone.

Well, she's got that lick mat. But you you put peanut butter on that and throw it in the kitchen, and she'll be in there for half hour at least. Oh, you get some peace and quiet. Well, I don't know about quiet because you got that licking noise on that mat. Love.

I go, what are you doing? Turn up to the volume of something because that is not it. Stop. Oh. She's fun.

She's a delight. Yeah. She needs a haircut real bad too. Have you seen her? Yeah.

What a crazy look. She looks like she's wearing a visor. Yeah. She's got her eyebrows for days. Poor dog.

She needs help. I was talking to, excuse me, a coworker friend the other day, and she was telling me that she's been reading, A Court of Thorns and Roses, which I Are these these romance books, these, romantacy books people are going crazy for? Yeah. I think so. Alright.

I haven't read them, so I don't I know nothing about them. I'm not into it, but go ahead. What? It's not for me. I'll stick to my fishing books.

Go on. Okay. So these like, on book talk lately, like, everybody's been talking about this type of genre. Yeah. And, again, that's it's not my genre.

I don't read that, so I know nothing about them. But she was telling me that she just loves Ryceand, one of the characters. His name is Ryceand? Ryce I Riesund? I don't know.

Ryceand what? Beans. That one's free. You can use that. That was low hanging fruit.

Rice and what? Rice and beans? Go on. His name is Ryssand? R h y s a n d.

Whatever. It's it's Rhysand. I don't know. Rhysand means. Go on.

Apparently, he's, like, an amazing character. Okay. And she was like, he is my book boyfriend. Oh. And I go, oh.

And then she asked me who my book boyfriend is. And I went, I've never I've never thought about that. Okay. So I had to do some thinking. Naturally, my automatic response is mister Darcy from Pride and Prejudice because he loves Elizabeth.

Alright. Alright. All of her crazy antics. He loves her just as she is. Great.

Great for Darcy. I know. And then I thought about it some more, and I went, well, then it would have to be Wesley from the princess bride. Right. And, again, I've read these books, and I've loved these characters in these books, but they're also a little tainted by the character in the movie.

I see. So when you when you think about, Pride and Prejudice, which version? The BBC one. Okay. So who's the actor?

Colin Firth. K. Great. And then when you think about, Pride and Prejudice or not Pride and Prejudice, you think about Princess Bride. That's, Carrie Elway.

Right? Yeah. As you wish. Okay. Got it.

Yeah. So So you see those actors as those characters. Now did you read books before movies or movies before books? Those particular books, I saw the movie before I read the book. So, yes, I knew the character in my head as as Right.

As I was reading the book. So then it's hard to pick my book boyfriend because I go, well, I already have an image Yeah. Of what this character is. Doesn't change the fact that they're still. You know?

Vava vu? Yeah. What year is it? That was such a my mom thing to say. Vava voom.

My mom would have said that. Absolutely. Then I went, okay. Well, what other book boyfriends are there? And then I forgot about a good one that a, Laurie from Little Women.

Oh, man. Who is played by Christian Bale. Okay. Who you don't particularly care for? Right.

But when I saw that movie and then read that book, again, I watched that movie before I read that book. I liked Christian Bell at that time. See. Because he was Laurie. Rice and beans?

Josh, who would be your book boyfriend? Couldn't tell you. I Be your book girlfriend. I also couldn't tell you. There's not a lot of characters in my fishing stories that I read about.

So, lately, anyway. I if I go back historically, Abraham Lincoln Lincoln vampire hunter, Zombie books in there. Yeah. You read Pride and Prejudice. And zombies.

So Elizabeth. Right? You'd have to pick a one. Why not? You would have to.

Josh? You'd have to. Tell me what I have to do. You can't pick Jane. Everybody picks Jane.

Pick Elizabeth. Yeah. You do. If I'm picking Darcy, you're picking Elizabeth. Sounds like my mind's made up for me is what it sounds like.

Vah, vah, voom. Do you know what are some subtle signs that someone's a good person? Like litmus test type stuff? Yeah. Well, like, you would always say if you put your shopping cart away.

That's what that was gonna be my first name. Shopping cart. I believe that, for sure, that is a sure sign of someone being a good person. It takes literally minimal effort to put your cart in the corral in the parking. That doesn't necessarily mean you're a good person.

No. What what it I think it means is that if you don't do that, that you're not a very good person, I think is what it means. And I understand there's a lot of different circumstances and situations, and people will will talk about, you know, my kids are in the car and, you know, this and that and the other. Here's the thing. It's a low impact on your day to put the the buggy back in the corral, is is kinda where I sit on it.

And so, if it, if you're gonna use the cart, put it back so that the person who works there can go to one spot and gather all the carts and take them back inside for other people. I read I was just reading some other things. They're polite to people, waitstaff, especially. That's another one I would say is, is Just kindness. Right?

If you're if you go out to eat, I I I like to, like, keep a tidy table. I don't just, like, leave everything out. Like, if I'm if I'm finished with a meal and the and the server whatever is gonna come around and collect plates, I'll pile them up a little bit, try and make that a little bit easier. I read somewhere that they actually don't like that. What?

Someone said that they don't like that. I don't know. I don't know. Here's another one. If you're you're a good person, if you're the person in the group who stops and waits for you to tie your shoe while the rest of the group is subtle thing.

Yeah. Right? That's a nice one. Sure. Or that you hold the door for other people.

Sometimes you get stuck. Yeah. That's true. That's what happens to me inevitably is I get stuck as the door holder, and then I'm, like, there going, you know, you're walking into a movie theater is one of the worst. Because everybody's arriving kind of around the same time, and you're like, hey.

Yeah. Come on in. And then someone else is coming from the parking lot and someone else Yep. I've been trapped. And I'm like, oh, no.

I've been trapped doing that too. What I don't like is when you're holding the door for someone and they don't appreciate it, and they don't say They don't say thanks. Thank you. Oh, thanks. And you go Now I Again, minimal impact on your day to be kind and say thank you.

Only takes a minute. But that's the sign of a good person. Right? Well, you do it without the thanks. Well, I guess so.

Yeah. Right? Without the accolades. That's what, what I teach all the time is do small, good, kind things every day and don't expect a thank you. That's that's the way it works.

I here's another subtle thing, and this is something that is is something that you do. I don't know if you do this to everyone. Maybe you don't. You do it to me, and it's nice, and I appreciate it. Okay.

If I don't know something, whether it's a computer related question or a car related question, and I'm genuinely curious to know, you never make me feel dumb about not knowing make you feel anything. I get that. But you explain it to me in a way that makes it make sense without making without patronizing me. I see. And I appreciate that.

Well, that's very nice. I don't know if you do that to everybody, but you do that to me. I try. I mean, that's just being helpful. It is.

It's nice. I try. And no matter how many times I'm like, I still don't understand, you go, okay. Let's break it down. Let me draw a diagram.

Grab me a scratch paper and a pen. Yeah. It's nice. Yeah. And now I don't know if you do that to your coworkers.

We should ask. But You yeah. Ask around. Ask around. Hey.

When I'm not around, is he helpful? Yeah. Is he does he patronize you? I I bet you get a a grab bag of answers. Probably.

Like You're gonna get some, like, yeah. Actually. He has zero patience. It's it's gonna depend on who you ask. Like, certain people are gonna be like, no.

No. He's very helpful. He takes his time. He explains things, and then other folks are gonna go, no. I don't talk to him.

He's a jerk. Yeah. I don't talk to him. I never asked him for any help whatsoever. Because I did one time, and he made me feel small.

Josh. I don't do that. But put your card away. Put your card away. Yeah.

Be nice to people. And maybe clean up the table or maybe don't. Maybe ask, hey. Would it be helpful if I if I helped clean up these dishes? Would you like me to carry them to the back for you?

Can I put them in a bin? Yeah. Something? You want me to wipe the table? What can I do?

You're doing too much. Yeah. I know. You've done too much. I think you could easily, cross a line and be too helpful.

But a little help here and there is probably good. We were at a, yeah, we were at a leadership training once, and the whole idea was that you had to set up a tent. And there was Yeah. There was one particular group that had a stake left out on purpose. Right.

And the idea was that everybody went to help you put up your tent. And the one group was struggling, but they didn't want help. And everybody pitched in to help, and they were like, I've we appreciated the help, but we didn't necessarily want it. That's what I'm saying. You can be too helpful.

You're like, no. No. Let's rally around. Let's get this done. You're like, no.

We were trying to figure it out as soon as we were. We're figuring it out. Back off. Oh, moral lessons. What are we what are we talking about today?

I don't know. Moral lessons. The eagles, the eaglets, if you've been keeping tabs on the eaglets. Shadow and, Jackie. And Jackie are the parents.

Right? So Shadow's the dad. Jackie is the mom. We're currently watching the Big Bear, Eagle Live Nest Cam. It's cold there today.

They did get some snow. It looks like about 09:00 last night, it started snowing. And it's not snowing currently, which I think is probably good, but, Big Bear Valley got snowed out. In snow. I know.

I love we checked on them early this morning, and, and there they are in a in a snowy nest. The big news is that the chicks have names now. Okay. So they were doing a naming contest. They were having a bunch of elementary school kids, choose names.

Correct. And then they were gonna put those up to a vote. Well okay. So Is that how it works? Well, yes.

Kind of. So they had 54,000 name choices. Wow. They it was a week long fundraiser Right. For the friends of Big Bear Valley.

Did you end up submitting names? I didn't. You were gonna do that? So the elementary school children there voted from 30 finalists that they had ballots, and they voted. And now the eaglets have names.

Big chick is Sunny is now Is what? Sunny. Sunny. Alright. Sunny.

Sunny is big chick. And small chick on a snowy day. And small chick is gizmo. I like it. So sunny and gizmo.

Now the you used to be able to tell big chick and small chick, but now I think they've small chick is, like, wrong Catching up. In size. And so it's hard to tell the difference between them now. But Sunny and Gizmo, Jackie, Shadow, Sunny, Gizmo. Nice.

Well and they they still have their huge feet that they can't really make work real well. I know. But they also I noticed this morning, they've got yellow, starting to appear on their beaks, which I think is pretty fun. There's still a lot of black on top, but they're getting yellow on the on the sides, which I think is, is pretty cool. I didn't check on them yesterday, and so I was happy that, There are still two of them, and they're still And there okay.

There was a time that there was a there was a lot of bonking is what they called it going on. And then I read up on that, and it wasn't good news, And it was often a fight for survival. Right. If there wasn't enough food, then a bigger chick would often take out the small one. Right.

But that has I haven't seen the bonking happen in a long time, and it looks like these chicks are gonna make it out together. You you hope so, don't you? I really do. Yeah. So it was a time I was like, I can't watch if this is gonna happen.

I'm not gonna be able to watch this, but the bonking has lessened. Well, that's good. So I think I think we'll be okay. It doesn't happen always that one takes out the other. But it but it does happen.

But it does happen. Yeah. I'd imagine if there were three in the nest, it'd probably be a little bit of a different story. But the one in the nest. Yeah.

But the one, didn't make it early on. So well, there you go. That's the latest with the, big bear, bald eagles. And if you don't know what, you got something else. So I was just gonna say, if you've got an eagle question Yeah.

I'm your gal. Because I've done a lot of eagle research lately. Yeah. So I think they're what? I think they're three or four weeks old now, I think.

I can't remember how old they are. They're about three or four weeks old. At about eight weeks old what? What's that face? Hello.

I don't know what my voice is doing. I'm just listening. Talking is hard. I know. They might ex start exploring a little bit more, and they'll step out on various branches.

And Once they get their feet working Yeah. They can't get their feet out underneath them. It's okay. They're just toddling around. Yeah.

They're trying. That's gonna be exciting, isn't it? It will be. And then I did read that oftentimes when you have siblings, they'll often stay close together for as they're starting to leave Yeah. And fly away.

They'll kinda stick together close by for a while at least. One day, that nest is gonna be empty. I know. I don't want it to be. I'm sad.

It's a empty nest. It's a thing that happens. For now, Sunny and Gizmo. Well, there you go. Have fun.

Toddling around. There you go with their big old weird feet. Grow into those things, would you? They're working on it. Alright.

Eat more fish or something. So yesterday, as we drive in the morning, sometimes down Sunnyside early in the morning, there's not a lot of traffic. That is true. And so you can go faster than the speed limit. You shouldn't.

But But I've seen you. What's your face? You are such a liar. There are times way. There are times when I go, woah.

Woah. Woah. Woah. So, like You have to put yourself in check? Yeah.

You're this is not the speed limit. Slow down. Mhmm. And yesterday as we were driving, there was somebody that had been pulled over. And I went, okay.

Yeah. They're out and about. You can get pulled over anytime. Yeah. You can.

So today, I was doing the speed limit. I was making sure right behind you going doing the going the speed limit. I wanted to talk about, the first time I ever got pulled over. Oh, was that a fun experience for you? Because I've heard parts of this story.

Where did this happen? This happened on the ISU campus by the campus police. Okay. By the Safety. They're not police.

It was the safety. The campus safety folks. I can't remember their official title. You that was the first time you got pulled over was when you were in college. Correct.

You didn't get pulled over, during high school when you were driving? Never. Even on that one road where I got pulled over that is Surprise 25. It's 35, and then you cross the tracks. And then boom.

25. I got pulled over there. I did not. The first time I ever got pulled over was by the campus security on the ISU campus. It was right by the dorms where I lived.

And because it was my first time being pulled over, I didn't know what to do. Okay. So I exited my vehicle Well, don't do that. Which is rule number one. Back down.

And they said, no. No. No. No. No.

Get back in your car. And I went, ah. And then I was all nervous and flustered. And the campus security said, do you know how fast you were going? And I was like, oh, 65 tops.

I got pulled over for doing fifteen and a ten. Oh. What? Woah. Fifteen and a ten.

And you and you joke, you did say 65 tops. No. I did not say that. 65 tops. I was cruising.

Yeah. I was in a parking lot. I knew I was going slow. I didn't realize I was going five over in a parking lot. Fifteen is barely enough to get the automatic doors to light.

I know. It's not super fast. I don't think that I got a ticket. I think I just left with a warning. Even though you got out of the car.

Yeah. I know. I didn't I didn't know what to do. It was just out of the car alone. I would have been like, this one doesn't know what's happening.

They were like, this dummy. What do what do we have here? He even used his, like, handheld thing, like, get back in the car. Oh, yeah. Okay.

PA? I promise I'm not dangerous. Yeah. I'm just don't know. I'm just dumb.

What do I do? I just don't know what to do. Sit sit down. I've always obeyed the law. Every time something goes awry, my advice to you is to sit down.

What do you Every single time. Mean? Pick a thing. Give me an example. Oh, well, I'm just saying.

Anytime something goes crazy, rather than having you you do, like, that arm running around thing, SpongeBob style I think I think it'd be better if you just sat down. I don't what? I can't talk It's a high intensity situation, and you get high heightened, you should just sit down. I okay. Pulled over.

Yeah. Your immediate response is Get out. Get out. No. Sit down.

Sit down. Okay. Well, I know that now. That's what I'm saying. Something big, high high intensity.

Pick a thing. I'm trying to pick a thing. What else? So you needed to use that excuse for me before. Saying I have.

I'm saying my advice to you is in those situations, it'd be best for you to sit down. Okay. I'll keep that in mind. Saying. I'm I don't have examples of other times.

I'm just saying rather than get out of the vehicle. Gonna work in all circumstances, though. If there's a fire Okay. Don't sit down. What if it's a small controlled fire in an oven, for example, that happened and I was home and you were not?

Did I panic and go No. I don't Or did I keep a cool, calm, collected head? Josh. Listen. I don't panic in every high crisis situation.

No. I get it. Just that one time, I didn't know what to do. So far, let's find other examples. Okay.

Yes, please. That aren't a fire. Missing dog. I take control. Yeah?

Yeah. Okay. I grab her squeaker. I squeak it so she comes home. This is true.

I can handle stuff. Yeah. I don't know what yours what are you we're fighting now. Why are we fighting now? Because you think I can't handle things.

I'm trying to I'm trying to find another situation that's similar. Yeah. Go for it. I'm still trying. I can handle stuff, Josh.

That was the first time I've been pulled over. No. Well, I told you, we're fighting. Why? Because now I'm mad.

No. You've done this. You have only yourself to blame for this. I have done nothing. I'm just trying to find other scenarios where you might do that.

I still am looking. Name another one, and I'll tell you how I handled it. Lost car keys. I'd look for them. What are you talking about?

I don't know. No. Your argument is invalid. There's no argument. Yeah.

Exactly. Alright. I'm gonna find a way out of this. Yeah. You better stop talking.

Just know it. Oh, here's a way. So today is a day to celebrate the peanut butter and jelly sandwich. Yes. Do you like a PB and J?

I really actually do like a PB and J. Let's go over the way you make a peanut butter and jelly sandwich because it's a little different than the way I make a PB and J We had this we found out. Yeah. We had this fight with our daughter not too long ago. We dragged her into it.

She said you make better ones. When I make it your way with bonus jelly. Bonus jelly. Am I I don't typically peanut butter both sides. I do.

I know. So I that's that's your contribution to the sandwich is peanut butter on both sides, jelly in the middle. I was a forever and always, one side is peanut butter, one side is jelly, you put them together. Interesting. Yeah.

First, you take the peanuts there. Espresso. Espresso. Remember that song? Yeah.

I do. That just popped into my head. Well, awesome. Is it your go to sandwich? I don't know.

Not necessarily. It depends on what kind of mood I'm in. Are you in the mood for a PB and J? Kinda. Then is it your go to sandwich?

Yeah. Because You're in the mood for a turkey sandwich? Is it your go to? Yeah. It is?

I really want turkey, but PB and J. No. No. No. No.

I thought that's no. That's not what I meant what you said. What? It's not what I thought you meant. Okay.

It's just you know, how you just get in modes where you're like, yeah. I feel like a turkey sandwich. I'm gonna have a turkey sandwich. Okay. I feel like a PB and J.

I'm gonna have a PB. I feel like a grilled cheese. I'm gonna have a grilled cheese. Alright. What other you there?

No. Look. Look. I like talking sandwiches, but let's let's dive into what other peanut butter type sandwiches have you tried. Then you take the jelly and you No.

Stop. Smear it. I don't think that's the right word. Peanut butter and butter. Gross.

Butter, one piece of toast, peanut butter, one piece of toast, put them together. Is it do you is it soft bread? I just said toast. Oh, you did. I didn't hear you.

Sorry. Peanut butter on toast. Somebody called it on toast. Put it together. Somebody called it rye raw bread when it's not toasted.

That would be dough. Raw bread would be flour. I don't think that I, Peanut butter and butter. I don't think I like that. You don't?

No. When you I haven't eaten it. When you make toast with jam or anything else, you do butter the toast first Correct. And then add other things. Correct.

So what's the difference between doing that with a jelly or a jam and doing that with peanut butter? Butter first, peanut butter on top. You're right. When you put it that way I'm I'm just I I've never tried it. Peanut butter and butter.

I guess I was just thinking, like, unmelted butter. So you got, like, a smear of butter, and that sounds gross. You do that. I don't ever do that. Cold bread, cold butter?

Never. I only do that when I eat spaghetti. No. And that's the only time that's I made spaghetti last night. Did I have cold butter, cold bread?

No. I toasted the bread and put on delicious garlic spread. That's good. Yeah. That's how you do it.

Don't don't cold butter cold bread me. Peanut butter and pickles. No. You've never tried it? Never tried it.

Have you tried it? I have. It's not bad. Peanut butter and pickles. It's not bad.

I don't know. Crunch from the pickle, and then you also get, that that sort of dill flavor mixed with the peanut butter. It's not bad. I don't know. It's kinda strange because they're typically cold stored in the fridge.

Yeah. So you bite into it and you go, there's a cold chunk in here, but it's not bad. With my peanut butter. Yeah. I don't know.

Peanut butter, bananas, honey. That would be okay. I think that's tried that, though? No. I haven't tried it, but I think that sounds good.

On an English muffin? Or a rice cake? No. I No. Not that.

Because I've been eating, like, almond butter with bananas on a rice cake. That's good. That's delicious. It's a rice cake. Peanut butter and onion on toast.

No. You like onion? I do, but not Fresh sliced red onion on peanut butter on toast. What? Say that again?

Fresh sliced, thin sliced red onion on peanut butter on toast. No. No. No. No.

No. No. You wouldn't try it? I wouldn't try it. Okay.

I've been looking for this for, like, ten minutes now. Yes. You take the bread and you spread it. You spread it. The lyrics?

Yes. Oh, man. You said I was wrong. I don't think that's how it goes. Yes.

It is. Here's a couple of other weird food combos. Vanilla yogurt and sweet potato fries. Oh, that would be good. I actually think that sounds good.

What about watermelon with soy sauce? Are we not talking about peanut butter? Said these are other weird food combinations. I'll listen. Watermelon and soy sauce.

No. Ranch dressing on spaghetti. Ugh. Ranch dressing is disgusting. Cottage cheese and pickled beets.

Who pickled beets? Actually, that sounds nice. I would eat that. K. Nutella and salami sandwich.

Ew. No. No. Baby carrots dipped in caramel. No.

Caramel is good with anything. Plain yogurt mixed with crushed Doritos. Interesting. No. I don't think so.

And the last one on this list, Ritz crackers dipped in hot chocolate. That that wouldn't be terrible. That is so soggy. I get it. Yeah.

It is. Gross. Fuck. Yeah. You think an Oreo gets soggy?

No way. No sweat. Oh, gross. Never. It's just What a way to ruin hot chocolate.

Cracker in the bottom. When you get to the bottom of your hot cocoa cup, it's just I had toddlers. I've seen enough soggy Ritz crackers. I don't need that in my life. Ugh.

Yuck. God. Happy PB and J day. You were telling me about the, water tower. Yeah.

So big news today is that, they are going to lift the bowl. Oh. So the Idaho Falls Water Tower, the new one, the city of Idaho Falls, today, April 2, will reach a major milestone in the city's new water tower project. This morning, contractors will begin the slow process of lifting the bowl on top of the tower. It is anticipated that the lift lifting of the bowl will take between four and six hours.

Really? Yeah. Holy moly. Don't drop it. No doubt.

Right? I got it. So what's been interesting is that they they built the bowl at the base of it. They're gonna lift it up. They've got a bunch of cranes, little small cranes around the top of the rim, where the bowl will sit.

And then those cranes have pulleys that run down to the ground, that, you know, big cables, and they're gonna lift that thing up to the top. It'll be affixed to the top of the, tower. And then, I guess the plan is that once it is on top of the pedestal, would the top of the cap will be welded in place, and then it will, be painted. What are they gonna paint it? I don't know.

How are they gonna paint it? With paint. I don't know. Isn't that curious that they wouldn't paint it before they put it on? They're gonna put it on and then paint it.

That's kind of interesting. I don't know the answer to any of that. That is that is a good question. I don't know. I don't know how all that works.

I don't either, Josh. That's why I'm asking. And that is, somebody's job to know all of those things. But, anyway, they are lifting that bowl today. So that's, that's gonna that's gonna change the skyline of Idaho Falls real quick.

Yes. It is. Which will be really interesting. So far, there's been a pedestal standing there. Now it will have The bowl.

The bowl. The bowl on top. Lift that bowl. That's right. I did say that when I when I shared the post on Facebook because, it felt like a Move that bus.

Move that bus moment from what was that show called? Extreme Makeover Home Edition. That's the one. I felt very Thai in my, the Thai was it Pennington? Yes.

Yeah. It's Thai Pennington. Lift that bowl. Va va voom. Va va voom.

Come on. That's right. Television's Thai Thai Pennington. Pennington. Everyone's TV boyfriend.

Oh, is everyone? Yes. He was, he was the contractor on there. Did he also do that other, trading spaces show? He did.

That's where he came from. Right? Correct. And what was the female host of of that show? Paige.

Paige Davis. Right? Vava voom. Everyone's TV girlfriend. Paige Davis.

There were two there were two hosts. They had Paige Davis. She was the one with the shorter hair. I remember her. That was awesome.

Had a a longer haired woman, and I can't remember her name. Paige Davis is rocking that hairdo I like. She's got that streaky hairdo. Does she? Yep.

Nowadays? Yeah. She looks great. Good for you, Paige. Well, let's look up Ty Pennington these days.

What's what's Ty looking like? Paige Davis is so cute. Look at her. Ty's rocking cowboy hats. Yeah.

Ty Pennington isn't as cute as he ever used. Well, he had, like, a health thing late last year. Well, now I feel terrible. Well, you should. He almost died last year, and he turns 60.

60? Yeah. He is 60 years old. Did you know that? I did not know that.

Page is 55. So there you go. Ain't that something? Ain't that Look at what we're learning. Hey.

The water tower bowl. Yeah. Lift that bowl. Let's do this. Alright.

It's happening today. Good luck Be safe. Involved. And then I liked your other advice. Don't drop it.

No. That's a that's good advice. There's a street in Philadelphia, where police had said that neighbors were complaining about people driving too fast down it. And there, they came up with a fix. It's called the traffic calming measure.

K. They say our traffic engineers have determined that this is the best course of action for the area to ensure the safety of the local residents. Residents are calling it ridiculous, awkward, weird. What they've done is made a zigzag pattern in the road. They haven't changed the road, but they painted the lines different so that the lines are wavy.

Both the double yellow lines in the middle along with the white edge lines have been created to be a new pattern of zigzag. Okay. Interesting. People are wondering why they didn't just put in, like, some speed bumps or flashing lights or signs. And the traffic engineer said those don't typically they wouldn't have worked for this situation.

You don't think speed bumps will slow people down? And and I'm not talking about the little ones. I'm talking about the wide ones. I like those better. I want those on our street.

I agree. We need those on our street. I want those, you know, they're they're probably three feet across. Not across, not wide, but deep. Yeah.

So when you're and and it's a it's a you roll over them, but you don't necessarily have to, like, stop to go over the little mound of pavement. I think the reason, that they don't have them more places is probably snowplows. Oh, maybe. That's, something I just made up. So there's that.

But that's smart of you to think about that. I wouldn't have thought about that. Probably the only reason I could think that they aren't there. Well, the residents of this town are saying this isn't working because right now, everyone is still just driving through the middle of it. They're not using the zigzag pattern at all.

They're still just driving straight down it. Yeah. And I think the the issue with the street we live on is that it's really wide, and it's straight. Yeah. And that And that's what people go fast.

That was the problem with this street. Yeah. If it's wide and straight but it goes through a neighborhood. Like, that's the part that bugs me the most is that when people go tearing down it at 40, it's 25. It's a neighborhood.

Like Sometimes more than 40. Slow down. I've been that cranky neighbor that's been like, slow down. Yeah. Yelling at people.

Yeah. Usually, it's whenever you're in the front yard. It is. Yell at people. Yeah.

Get out of my neighborhood. Children there that are riding their bikes. There's little boys down the street that play basketball in the street all the time. I know. And I go, well, I gotta Slow down.

Slow down. You should get your, hair dryer out. Hair dryer? Yeah. Stand there with the hair dryer.

It looks like a radar gun. Slow them down. I'm reporting you. Yeah. They don't care.

What are they they're gonna say, oh, what are you doing with the radar gun? That if you if you stand outside with a brick in your hand, it does pretty good. Interesting. Yeah. Like, that's how they, people started crossing the street with a brick in their hand, and people actually stopped.

Yeah. Like, oh, you have a brick in your hand. No. We're not condoning this behavior. I'm I didn't say do anything with it but hold it.

I'm saying they did a research and found out that crossing the street with a brick in your hand gets cars to stop. We should do that trick too where one person you have two people and one person pretends to take a string across the Yes. Other side. Yeah. That'll work.

But and tug it. Or we could just paint, you know, Wile E. Coyote style. We could paint a wall in the road three d style. You You know what I'm you know what I'm talking about?

I yeah. To catch that road runner? No. I get it. You painted the brick wall?

Usually, it's on the side of a building, not in the middle of a road. But we could we could make it look three d. We could, oh, I know better yet. Okay. What now?

In the road, you could you could paint a hole. Yes. Brilliant. I'm full of ideas. We could just, get some of those, in, in, Who Framed Roger Rabbit.

They had the the holes. It's just a thing you buy. The magnets. It's like a you just lay it down. The whole rug.

Yeah. But they work for cartoons. Brilliant. Yeah. What a solution.

Nobody even asked us. Painting holes. Better than a curvy road. Apparently. But you could still, like, swerve and miss the holes.

Not if you make it big enough, Josh. I guess. Giant holes painted in the road. Yeah. Smart.

Yeah. Okay. It is that time. It's the would you rather this or that question of the day. Would you rather have a helium filled body or a lead filled body?

Well You kind of already do have a lead filled body. What is that mean? Least Hold on. Woah. Woah.

Woah. Woah. Woah. You didn't let me finish. At least when we're swimming.

Woah. When we're swimming, Josh, swimming. You just We're fighting. No. No.

I heard what you said. We're fighting. What? You know this is filled body. Swimming.

You sink like a rock. You know this is true. This isn't a critique against you. This is true. It's just true.

You you don't float. You sink. Okay. What would you pick? Well, I don't want all of the ill effects on my body that would come from being filled with either helium or lead.

Okay. What would a helium filled what's the benefits of having a helium feel filled body? Oh, you just float everywhere. It'd be like No. You're not a balloon.

It'd be like an astronaut. No. You don't think so? What would you do then? I just think you'd be full of air.

Oh, no. Well, helium. Yeah. You gotta expel that air somehow. Nobody would wanna be your friend.

I'm really trying to figure out, like, what would be a benefit. Of either one? What are the hypothetical You're go you're going too deep. Benefits of having your body filled with helium. I I really gotta know.

It's not gonna tell you. If your body were somehow filled with helium, you'd be lighter. See. You'd have a naturally higher pitched voice. Okay.

It would could potentially reduce joint pressure. Okay. You would have better buoyancy in water. Okay. And there's a built in comedy factor.

If nothing else, your existence would be a constant source of amusement for those around you. There you go. It already is. So there you go. No change.

There's no benefits. I'll pick that one. And this has been would you rather. Josh is mad. Huge news, Chantel.

What's the big news? Well, the big news is there is a brand new Mario Kart game. I know. It's Mario Kart World. It is the brand new Mario Kart game launching exclusively for Nintendo Switch two.

Which is annoying. Okay. Why? Because you have to buy a new game console. Okay.

Well, let me tell you. Today is, is Nintendo's, sort of, press conference thing. Okay. They call it, I think they call it Nintendo Direct or something like that. And, they make all the big announcements for what's going on in the world of Nintendo.

Okay. And and each group, like PlayStation has one, and Xbox has one, and, obviously, Nintendo has one. Apple does it. Google does it. Everybody has these big kind of announcement ceremonies, presentations.

And today is the Nintendo one. So here's the deal. The new Nintendo Switch two system will arrive June 5. They're not waiting for a holiday release. It comes out June 5 in two months.

Okay. That's huge. Why is that huge? Very uncharacteristic for it not to be a holiday release. You would expect this to happen Black Friday, leaving it Christmas, those kinds of things.

So that's that is a very interesting thing to me. Brand new Nintendo Switch two comes out June 5. Will come with the controllers, the dock, the power, the HDMI, all the stuff. You get one controller. You get one controller.

Because the Nintendo Switch has one on each side because you can play mobile y with that screen, which is now ten eighty p, not seven twenty p. So it's better it's a better resolution. You get better detail in your games, and, and the controller's attached to the sides just like the Switch. How much is it? How much do you want it to be?

I want it to be $60. It's not $60. And I want it to come with a Mario Kart game. The console by itself is a suggested retail price of $4.49 99. Get out of here.

With the Mario Kart World bundle, The suggested retail is $4.99 99. It's $500. 5 hundred dollars. On June 5. So save your pennies.

No. I won't. Why? Because You between now and June 5, you can save your pennies. I'm trying to save my pennies to go on a vacation.

I know. Want another Two Mario Kart world. For a game one game that I like to play. That you love. I am pretty good at it too.

See? But I'm not I don't wanna pay $500. Get out of here. No way. No way.

I'm not buying it. Get out of here, Nintendo. Okay. And I thought Nintendo was the more affordable console. It is.

It still is. Mhmm. And they are going to sell a bajillion of them. I know they are, which is crazy. Yeah.

So, in addition to Mario Kart World, Nintendo Switch will launch, Switch two will launch with games, that highlights some of its new capabilities while bringing everyone along for the ride. So they've got brand new titles, Mario Kart World, Donkey Kong Bonanza. Donkey Kong? Ew. Yeah.

They're getting EA Sports Madden NFL and Cyberpunk 2077 Ultimate Edition, upgraded versions of Super Mario Party Jamboree Nintendo Switch two edition, plus something called Jamboree TV. Sid Meier's Civilization seven Nintendo Switch two Edition, will be on there as well. So there's quite a few things that they're doing. Breath of the Wild, Nintendo Switch two Edition, which we we know Breath of the Wild was one of the biggest games ever, for the Nintendo, the Zelda. Oh, Zelda.

Breath of the Wild. Yeah. Yeah. That that's that's there it is. Kirby and the Forgotten Land is getting a Nintendo Switch two edition.

Metroid Prime, see these are all Nintendo titles, which is great. New Pokemon. The only game I wanna play is Mario Kart, and I'm not gonna spend $500 to play one game. It's not gonna happen. Bet.

Bet yourself. It's not gonna happen. Okay. Okay. What?

I'm just telling you. It's, it's available June 5. It's $4.49 99 for the console itself. Everybody's gonna get that Mario Kart bundle. Of course, it's $4.99.

Big, huge news, Chantel. I know. News. It looks cool, but no way. Nope.
