Full show transcript:
If you had to describe me to a therapist, what would you say? One of these days, I'm going to have a therapist. It's something I need to do. I need to go talk to somebody. Work through some stuff. I got things to talk about. What? About me?
Who? You sound like your mom. Are you going to therapy because of me? What do you mean? Is that why? Are you going to therapy because of something I did? Is it because of me?
Was I a bad mom? Okay, listen. What do you got to work out?
I got plenty. It's for me in therapy. Kay? Kay? You said if I ever go to therapy, there was more to that story than you got distracted. What was the question? I said, if you had to describe me to a therapist, where would you start? Yeah, I got to go to therapy. I got to go talk to somebody. I got some describing to do.
I got this wife. That's how I'll start. I'll start.
That'll be like, what do you want to talk about? Well, I got this wife. And she's amazing and hilarious and fun. And boy, if she knew the things I'm about to tell you. Okay.
By the end of the show today, she'll be on an ADD, tirade, clean and stuff. Listen to me. When I first read this question, I thought you would be talking to a therapist about me. Like, I'm there to see a therapist.
And you have to explain to the therapist why I'm there. I didn't think of it in the way that you thought about it. I don't understand how you're thinking about it. The question says, how would you explain me to a therapist? No.
Is that what you said? I said, if you had to describe me to a therapist, where would you start? By getting a therapy appointment. Okay. And then I would say, let me tell you about my wife.
Continue. No, I told you, that's for me in therapy. How did you interpret that? I interpreted it as you and me walk into a therapist's office. So it's a couples therapy? No.
Okay. You're not staying there. But I'm like, I got to go talk to a therapist.
But I'm not going to. And you're like, I'll take you there. I'll take you off. Like I'm going to commit you to therapy.
Yes. And I go, you got to watch out for this one. She's a loose cane. Listen, it's not my job to explain you to anyone. You can explain yourself when you sit down. Oh, I know why you're going to do that. I get it.
Your former therapist who misses you dearly. You think so? Yes. I think about it sometimes. Yeah.
And you do? I think about it. I miss her. I wonder if she thinks about me.
Maybe. But the point I'm trying to make is she learned who you are quickly. Yeah. In the first meeting she went, okay, so you're a crier. Got it.
Yeah. Like I don't know where I would be on that scale. It might really like open you up.
It might. What if what is the first after the first session of you going to therapy? That's all you do. Everything just makes you cry.
Is that there? What would you do if you unleashed your emotions? What would you do if you were hanging out with yourself? Where everything is unleashed emotion? I've in 23 years I've seen you cry a handful of times.
Sure. I don't know what I would do if you were crying all the time. That's what I'm saying. You'd be like hanging out with yourself. Hey. Hey. Hey.
Hey. You'd look over and be like, you're crying now? You're crying again? Right. You'd be like, about this? This is fun. You're supposed to be having a good time. I am. I am having a good time.
I'm having such a good time. You know. I don't know. If you go to a therapist, can I just record it?
No. Because what if you talk about me? Like you didn't talk about me to your therapist.
I did talk about you. That's not the point. I know. You're supposed to.
Yeah. But what if you talk about the therapist to me and then she's like, yeah, that's not how the relationship. You got to get out of there.
And I'll be like, well, glad I came to this session. Now I know. Whatever.
Okay. Are you going to therapy because of me? Every day. Every time you leave. Are you going to go to therapy? I'm going to therapy to talk about me.
What do they do? Yeah. It settle down. Calm down. Go talk to a therapist about that. I'm worried about what you might talk about in therapy.
Like what if it's about me? Yeah. You should call your therapist. Yeah, I should. And we should start today's show. Let's begin. Hey, happy Friday morning. Oh, you guys. What? It's Friday.
Yes. I feel like, wait, why is it every week? We just wait until Friday. Every week. Every question.
Very good question. And then we go, it's finally Friday. Right. This has been a long week. Yes. It's finally Friday.
Yeah. And then we go, woohoo, it's Saturday. And then we go, oh, it's Sunday. Now we have to hurry and get back. Think about work again.
Yeah. And then you start clocking in early. I always clock in early. I know you do. You got to quit that. Well, I'm clocking out early too.
Okay. When? Right now.
Well, that's a little early. No, I'm going to do the bare minimum. Don't even expect me to get, you know, everybody does that. Everybody's like, oh, I have this project to do, but that's not a Friday thing to worry about. I'll worry about that on Monday.
Everyone does that. Well, I'm already, let's just do Friday's show on Monday. Let's not even do the show.
Let's just do that Monday. Okay. That's a four hour project.
You know, yeah. It takes four hours. Plus we've got to make a one hour podcast and then, you know, and more. There's more to do. What else is there to do? Well, I got a whole laundry list of things to get done. You do?
Including packing. And you want to know what I was dreaming about? Say. Working in the backyard all night. I was like, oh yeah, I want to do that and I want to do that. Oh, and I can get that done. And I'm thinking like, oh yeah, I can get all this done this weekend. No, I can't. No, we're going out of town. I know.
I have all these things in my head that I was like, oh sweet, sweet, sweet, sweet. You can stay. I'm not staying. Okay.
You can stay. I just had all these things in my head that I was like, all right. Yeah. Cool. I can get to that. Listen to this and this and all have time for that. Like I've, and no. No, you never have time for anything.
Nobody ever has time for anything but work. Right. Boo. It's a scam. Boo. Anyhow. What's going on today?
Anything you know? I mean, just that so far. It's not any special kind of day. Well, if you want to know what's going on today.
That's why I asked. It is Friday. It is a national pizza party day. Hey. So you could have some pizza with some friends.
That's, that's an idea. It is bike to work day. I did not do that. I drove to work. All may is bike to work month. One year I participated in that really heavily.
The whole month of May. Yeah. You did. When we lived in Pocatello. Yeah. I rode my bike to, to work for the whole month. Well, that's right because we only had one vehicle at the time.
No, but it was also bike to work month. And, and so I was trying to challenge myself to participate. I don't remember that.
Yeah. Good job. I did it once. And then I went, what am I doing? You did it once? Yeah.
I don't live in Denmark. What am I doing? I think you were saying you did it the whole month. Yeah.
Once. Got it. In my whole life, I spent a whole month.
I got it. Of all the maze I have lived through one May, I rode my bike to work for a month. And it snowed like a couple of the early May days that year. It was, it was a thing. I think you had to come pick me up even because it had snowed one day. Probably.
Yeah. I probably had to pick you up from a lot of things. I feel like I'm always picking you up. What's that mean? I don't know. I don't. Hey, come pick me up. I don't know the last time I called you to come pick me up. Yes, I do.
It was when I got stranded on the river in a rain shower. Yeah. And I said, oh, he can wait. We got shopping to do.
That's exactly what happened. Having an emergency. We're off the water and everything is fine. However, we're getting hit by a rainstorm and we're very cold and we're huddled up in a portapotty. You should come rescue us. Okay. Be there soon. Yeah.
Send me the location. That's my life. Anyway, good morning. Here we are. Hello. Hi. Hi. How's about some good news? Let's hear about it.
On a Friday. James Lewis, he is taking his passion for soccer to a whole new level. He's dribbling a soccer ball from Africa to Europe to raise money for charity. So he's just going to walk and kick this ball all the way from Africa to Europe.
There's an ocean in the way. No. I'll let you look that up. James started his trek in Morocco. He won't stop until he reaches his hometown of Ruegle, England. That is 2,000 miles of walking and jogging all while keeping his soccer ball moving between his feet. The journey has been anything but a walk in the park. James has already dodged traffic on narrow Moroccan highways, survived a terrifying encounter with a pack of eight wild dogs.
He said, I think they wanted to eat my ankles. We want to arrive home by July 19th just in time to catch the World Cup final. He says, and more importantly, he wants to raise $125,000 for the St. Giles Hospice as a facility that cared for his father, David, back in 2011. So what a good cause. And that's what he's doing. He's kicking a soccer ball from Africa to Europe. Did you see how he can make it?
Did you find his route? Well, if you said he's in Morocco, then that would be a Spain. No, no, Marrakesh.
He started his trek in Marrakesh, Morocco. I said Morocco. You said Morocco. Yeah, Marrakesh, Morocco. And then that's where I didn't say Morocco was in Spain or anything like that. I said Morocco touches Spain. I see. But on this map that I'm looking, it doesn't necessarily look like they touch so much. Okay, hold on. I got to do some geography here. Okay. Here we go.
I mean, I'm looking. There's probably a boat situation unless he's going the long way through the Middle East, which I doubt he's going through Saudi Arabia and then back up through Istanbul. It is separated primarily by the Strait of Gibraltar. That's right. But it does share a land border with Spain.
Stop saying that's right. Well, I'm looking at it on a map. And literally the Strait of Gibraltar is right there in front of my face. So he's going to have to take like a ferry. He has to.
He has to. There's water. Because unless he's swimming, bouncing his ball with his head the whole way across the Strait of Gibraltar. It looks like there's a couple of different ferries he can take. Okay, interesting. Okay, we had a geography lesson today. That's right.
I did not. Honestly, it doesn't look like that much longer than when we took the ferry from New Jersey over to New York. It kind of feels the similar distance. Okay. Maybe slightly longer.
But that's kind of what he's got going on. All right. Good luck to him. And it's good news. What's happening?
I like this. This ham thing where you go. I don't know. I don't know.
I don't know. What do you want to talk about? What should we talk about? Let's just take it easy on a Friday. Not over pressure. Let's just kind of chill out a little bit. Okay. What's the thing?
The thing is, I never know what to talk about. Right. And here's the other thing.
What's the other thing? We get, as part of our radio industry, we get what they call show prep. Oh, yeah.
And everybody else in the business gets that same show prep. Right. So we don't want to talk about the same thing everybody else is talking about.
I heard people on a different radio station this morning talking about the top five stolen dogs. We can talk about that, but I don't want to. No. I mean, is it like Lady Gaga's dogs?
No, it's like this. Those were pretty high profile stolen dogs. Dog breeds.
Oh, I see. A Frenchie. A French dog. Oh, that's, see, look it. We talked about it. I'll tell you, I probably can guess the least stolen dog. Chihuahua.
Pit bull. Oh, yeah, you're probably right. It's got to be one of the least stolen. Now, I don't have the whole list, but that'd be my assumption. I looked, that was not in show prep. That bit. I don't know where they got that. It's from somewhere else.
It's from somewhere else. Let's see. I was just going to look something up. Oh, I was actually going to look up. They posted all the NFL schedules. I was really doing something, but I wanted to find out.
I was really going to look up this. No, they went, they came out last night, but I was specifically trying to find out if we were going to be able to go see the game you wanted to see, which was in Vegas and no, the Vikings do not play in Vegas. So, Guess we're not going to go see the Vikings play. I mean, we could go to Vegas, but you're not going to see the Vikings play in Vegas. No, but I could still see Kirk Cousins play.
That is correct. We could still watch him throw to Ashton Janty. That is very true or handed off to him.
I heard, Since he's a running back. Oh, they can thrown to sometimes. Sometimes, sometimes they get a little pitch. Yeah.
But anyway, I still don't know the rules of football. After all these years, I still go, I was up. What's the guy do? I still don't get it. Okay. Um, Somebody once said to me that I on the radio was insufferable. And then he also said that when I started talking about football, Yeah. That's what he said to me. What's his name? His name is Jacob. Yeah. Yeah.
Jacob. He said that to you or about, No, to my face. He said that. That's, That's a really rude thing to say to somebody. Yeah, I know.
Yeah. What should I do about that? I don't know. Fight for my honor.
That's what I'm asking. Do I need to get like a suit of armor or what? What would it take? We're running the gamut on this bit.
Yeah. Uh, What would it take for you to actually fight for me? Like a physical altercation. Like if the circumstance was right, like I would defend you.
You would? Let's not get excited. Like it's going to happen. Like you're going to manufacture some sort of scenario where you get to see me angry and defend you because you think it'd be some machismo, you know, thing to watch. When we were younger and our younger days and we'd go to concerts and we'd be in the mosh pit. Yeah.
I would purposely like push, not purposely, but I would push people around. I don't, I'm not going to, that's not it. I won't fight for you there.
You make your own bed. If you're in, if you're in a mosh pit at a concert and you're shoving people around thinking I'm some big man who's going to be like, no, no, you leave her alone. No, you pushed. That's your fault. But that's what you have to do in a mosh pit.
Yeah. To keep people away from you a little bit so you don't suffocate. Sometimes I get a little too aggressive because I was like, I got my boyfriend right here. Oh, okay. Try something. Try something. Sure.
What are you going to try anything? Because I'm little. You're not little. You're not little. Stop saying that.
You're not. What would it take? What would you do?
How would you defend me? I don't know if there was some crazy like mugging situation or something. A mugging situation. I don't know.
I could set that up. No. I just said, stop thinking about it like it was.
I think it's going to happen. Your eyes got all wide and you went, oh yeah, you would. You fight for me. You let your muscles out. Settle down. Hmm.
Stolen dogs, NFL, mosh pits. Yeah. I mean, we got it all in here. We got it all.
Look, casual Friday. Okay. For some reason, our 16 year old daughter panics about gas in a car. Yeah. And I don't know where this comes from because to the best of my knowledge, we've never run out of gas with her in the car ever. No. But she has a real serious fear of running out of gas.
Yeah. I mean, she's been in the car when your gas light has turned on and then it's like, oh no, what are we going to do? And then it's a full on anxiety attack. She yesterday, mom, I need gas in my car. I was like, okay. And then later, mom, I really need gas in my car. And I was like, okay.
It's called empty tank anxiety. I asked her what her level was. Yeah. She said she was between the empty and the half. And I went, girl, please, you could go to Pocatello and back on that. At least. Plenty of gas. Yeah. She doesn't think she does.
What's it called? Empty tank anxiety. It's a common sometimes debilitating fear causing severe anxiety or panic when fuel levels run low, often resulting in avoiding gas stations until the last moment or developing driving paranoia.
It often stems from a fear of making mistakes in public like selecting the wrong fuel or causing a scene with recent studies showing that 62% of young drivers, 18 to 24, experience empty tank anxiety. Really? Yeah.
So maybe it's because she doesn't know how best the pumps work at different places. I don't even think it's that. I don't know what it is specifically. I think it's just the idea of her running out of gas and maybe not knowing what to do when she runs out of gas. So maybe we got to do a little bit of rejection therapy.
Yeah. And have her run out of gas while we're with her and say, okay. Here's what happens.
Here's what you do. Well, it says studies indicate this particular, this is particularly common in young drivers who worry about social pressure, hygiene and not knowing how to operate the pumps causing them to fear being judged. Yeah. Because people are gross and they don't ever clean the gas handles.
You know. I've never run out of gas. Have I been with people who have run out of gas?
Yes. But me myself have never run out of gas. Never? Never. Never. Never. I think your car actually broke down that time. It didn't run out of gas. No. Right?
It didn't run out of gas. Okay. Settle down. No.
Because here's what happens. I've had car problems. Yeah. But the gas is something that I control.
Okay. So I always know when I'm getting low, I got to go get more. The car problems have been things that have been out of my control. Alternator. Okay. Tires. Okay.
All that kind of stuff. All right. I've never run out of gas. Never. Well, you have. Hey.
I was trying to impress you. How? I don't know by running out of gas right next to a gas station, I guess.
Not having an intention to turn in, but then realizing I had to turn in. Well, yeah, I distinctly remember that. Those were early days, too. Yeah. That was back when Winko had a gas station. That's how long ago that was. You're supposed to reframe empty.
Remember that most cars have a reserve of roughly one to two gallons, even when the light is on that provides a buffer of roughly 30 to 50 miles. Oh, serious? Yeah. Okay. Good to know.
Because the light turns on, you know, at that point, making a rule to fill up when the tank hits a quarter tank to avoid the panic inducing lower range. That's where she is right now. Right. Prepare and practice. If your fear is about the mechanics of filling up, practice at a quiet station. If it's about running out, keep a small sealed gas container in the car for peace of mind.
And shift your perspective. Consider filling up to be a brief moment of maintenance rather than a large public stressful event. She's got gas before.
Those are the ways you can beat that empty tank inside. You were with her. Yeah, one time. She's only done it one time. Okay. So, like, that's how new a driver is.
I understand. She's pumped gas once. Was she nervous about getting gas? I don't know the answer to that. I don't think it's that. I don't think she's nervous about the actual getting of the gas. I think it's the fear of running out of gas and not knowing what to do. I think that's what it is.
Because the car could be in the middle of a lane. Yeah. And what do I do? Exactly. I get it. Well.
I did not know that most cars have a one to two gallon reserve. But that's only going to get you a little ways. I understand. Once that lights on, it's time to fill up. Like, if your light comes on, that means it's time to get that done. You should take that advice. Yeah. I've been trying to fill up my tank at half so that it hurts a little less.
That's what I've been trying to do. Yeah, because it costs a lot. Half a tank, time to fill up. Oh, look, I didn't have to spend that much on gas. You didn't have to spend triple digits on gas. Right.
I know. By the way, I need gas. Is your light on? No. No.
No. I'm at half a tank. It's time to fill up.
So there it was doing my daily New York Times games. Okay. So you're doing a wordle.
Wordle. And pips. And connections.
Connections. Okay. Yeah. Those are the three that you do? Correct. Alrighty.
And in the connections game, it gives you, let's see. A whole bunch of words. 16. Yeah. 16 words. And you have to sort them into different categories to find out what they have in common. There's four categories of four words that you have to figure out.
For example, if I had the words gut feeling, hunch, intuition, and sixth sense, those would all be a connection to premonition. Oh, okay. Got it. Okay.
So I'm working on the connection yesterday. And there were these words. And I go, ah, I think these go together, but I don't know what that word means.
Let me see if you know. These are bad things to do in modern dating. Love bomb.
Okay. Do you know what that is? That's where you just say, I love you, either too soon or way too often.
But then it's also like, over pressure it. Here's a bunch of flowers. I'm sending you flowers all the time. I'm sending you text messages all the time.
I'm really coming in strong. Right. And then there's ghost. Ghost, which is where you just ignore somebody. Yeah.
And then catfish. That is when you tell somebody you're someone you're not. Okay. And then this one, I did not know when I had to look it up. Bread crumb. Bread crumb.
Yes. So traditionally that is a reference to Hansel and Gretel who left bread crumbs to find their way out of the forest. But how does it apply to modern dating? That's what I'm trying to figure out. In web development, bread crumbs are small little links to get you to travel through a website.
So you would bread crumb like in an article about something you might reference something else on your website that you would link in that text that would take them to another page on your website that does the same thing and you leave these bread crumb trails through your website. So that's kind of, I mean, that's, it is what it is. I mean, it's a pretty easy definition to try and figure out.
I just don't, I'm trying to figure out how it applies. A person gives you just enough attention, like, like a flirty text or like a social media like to keep you hooked, like, oh, he likes me. So it's leading you on is what it is. That's exactly what it is.
Yeah. But they have no real intention of committing. It's leading you on.
It's like, hmm, here's a bread crumb. And then I'm going to back away. I'm so glad I'm not dating anymore. We can't, you and I, I'm sorry. I can't do that again. We're stuck.
Yeah. You're not going to deal with bread crumbs. No, no. And ghosting.
No. And love bombs. I mean, I could do with a love bomber too. You could send some flowers or you could, you could really. Sending some flowers is not a love bomb.
Okay. Well, I'm asking for a mini love bomb. Just give a little bit, Josh. You just want a show of affection.
That's it. I'm desperate. I see you every day, all day. Not all day. I know. There's a few hours where we're not together.
Sorry. My point is, I thought when we got married, you were like, yeah, I've committed myself to you. That's what I'm saying.
I want to spend my life with you. I thought that's what I'm saying. I'm saying that. I'm saying who needs flowers when I get to see you every day. For many hours. You don't need flowers.
You got hours. See, no, I do need a flowers every now and then, Josh. It would be nice to have just like a little bit of a, give me a little bread crumb. Joshy, just a little. All right. Just one little bread crumb. I'm not going to lead you on.
We're in this for the long haul. As you said. Okay, I understand that. We're in it for the long haul, but I also, you don't get it.
Hours, not flowers. Do you remember back in November, there was an accident on I-15 where a vehicle struck a support for a bridge. And then everybody was like, what are we going to do about this bridge? Yes. Fall down.
And they put in a lane closure thing and then they put a stack of support stones to kind of keep the bridge up. Yeah. Which doesn't seem very. Well, it's holding it. I know.
So that's the good news. Okay. It's held since November.
Yes. Well, starting Monday, Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday, they're demolishing that bridge. Completely. They're not repairing it at all. They will be replacing it.
Okay. But Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday, they are demolishing that bridge. How do you demolish a bridge while you still have traffic? They will be rerouting traffic. They're trying to do it in the nighttime hours, but they will be detouring to exit 89 and exit 93. So you will be getting off of the freeway, driving through Blackfoot and then getting back on the freeway. Now they are trying to do this nighttime I-15 closure when traffic is less.
Yeah. But it will take place Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday of next week. They will be tearing down the Riverton Road Bridge on I-15. Mad respect for people doing road construction because it can't be easy to have to deal with trying to do your job while also trying to keep yourself alive while also dealing with cranky people who are inconvenienced. Right. So, yeah, no kidding. They're putting in a really nice two span steel girder bridge that will allow future widening of I-15. So they are planning ahead, which is good. And this bridge was going to have to be rebuilt or replaced as part of the I-15 widening project anyway. So I'm glad they're getting to this. They hope to have this done before the end of 2026.
They're starting next week on the demo. So expect some daytime and nighttime I-15 lane closures, intermittent nighttime I-15 closures, and crossover traffic patterns. There will be reduced speeds on I-15.
And Riverton Road will remain closed between Frontage Road and Sweetwater Drive unless you want to try to jump the gap. Oh, I've seen this movie. Spoiler alert. You're not going to make it. You're not going to make it. Gravity says otherwise.
Even Knievel knew you couldn't make the gap. Come on. Hey, I've seen it done in a bus. What?
The gap. No. There was a bus and Keanu Reeves was on it. Yeah. And he jumped that gap. And guess what? That bus?
Keanu Reeves was not on that bus. So anyway, that is coming very, very soon as in starting next week. So which I'm glad they're going to be getting it done because it would be nice to be able to flow down the freeway uninterrupted by people trying to merge and then not knowing what the zipper method is. And it's just a mess. So I'm glad it's getting fixed. Good luck. Good luck to the workers and mad respect. Dogs. Dog. I got a nice compliment yesterday.
Well, I don't know if it was intended as a compliment, but I said, thank you. Yeah. This is about your feet.
This is about my feet. Yeah. All right.
Tell everybody about your dogs. I have been diagnosed with what's called a foot drop. So essentially that is when circumstances lead your feet to become somewhat heavy. Right.
And then if we go on a long extended walk, then my feet go, oh, we can't be bothered to be lifted anymore. Right. And so I was recommended to some kind of orthopedic thing. I don't know his official title. You called him an orthopedic thing. All right. To, yeah, to talk about kind of an ankle foot brace. Right. And so an apparatus that helps your foot lift. Yes.
Yeah. And so as I was talking to him yesterday, he said, well, here's what's funny. He had me take off my shoe because he wanted to look at my foot.
Right. He wanted to look at the arch support and all of this. And then he goes, just relax your foot. And I went, why is everybody telling me to relax? I've tried to hold your foot. It's a rigid situation. I don't know why. I don't know.
Sorry. So then he does that, lets my foot go and then is talking to me and doing some stuff. And then he says, oh, can I look at your foot again?
I want to look at your fat pads. Yeah. Excuse me. Excuse me. Excuse me. My fat pads.
And then he's pushing on the bottom of my feet and he goes, no, you got some pretty good fat pads. Yeah. Thank you.
Fat pads. Thank you so much. All right.
So the fat pad, I'm trying to look at what it looks like on a healthy foot. Okay. Okay. So there is actually a bit of fat there that is underneath your heel.
Yeah. And runs forward into your arch kind of in a kind of in a Nike swoosh kind of looking. He was mostly looking at the ball of my feet on the front.
Yeah. On the toe. Because that acts as a shock absorber absorber. You need those.
Those are important. The fat pad is in the back according to this. Now, no, you got, I got to see is their front fat pad. Yeah, you've got some under the heel and the ball. You got fat pads on the heel and ball of your feet. I see that. You need them.
They're important. I don't like this picture that someone made. It's grossing me out. I don't like feet.
There's some. Oh, I got to get off the internet. I can't look at that anymore. Don't Google feet fat pads. You'll regret it. What are we looking at?
Feet fat pads. But it's just an illustration. I had to go away from that. And then I scrolled down and there was pictures of people's feet.
I had to go. It's gross. So crossed out by feet. They weren't good looking feet. I'm not crossed out.
They were gnarly looking feet. I don't care for it. I had to go. I closed the page. I'm gone. I'm never opening that again. Yuck. Well, anyway, how's your feet?
But fat pads just fine. I don't know. Let me feel.
No. I bet they're not as I mean, he said I have nice. You know, I have nice feet. I bet I got some. You do have nice feet.
I got some fat pads. Maybe that's why I don't like looking at grotesque feet. Because you have I look down and I go nice feet. And then I look on the internet and see those gnarled things. Oh, yuck. Yuck.
Never going to burn that image out of my head. You do have nice feet. You have actually very soft feet. You're welcome for what?
I don't know. Except for your big black toenail. Hey, so if you want to talk about something gross, keep it covered up. Keep it put away. It's healing.
It takes like eight months to heal a toe. Are you serious? Yeah. How long is it been? August will be eight months. It's been black since January. No, it has not. Yes, it has.
I've been hearing about that black toe for. I haven't told you anything about it. You just see it now and you go, you talk about it all the time. And then you're always doing that thing where you're like looking at it.
Yeah, because I'm trying to see if it's healing. You're looking at it in a way that's like, oh, you caught me looking at my foot. No, I'm looking at it like it's probably going to fall off, isn't it? I'm still convinced my toenail will fall off. I don't think it will. I bet it does while I'm hiking on the 50 mile backpacking trip. I bet it comes off. Gross. Yeah, it might actually cover it up.
Wrap it with gauze. No. Why? Gross.
So then when you take off your gauze, it just comes with it. Yeah. Toe feet. Gross. Every so often I will walk into the kitchen and there will be a random thing on the countertop, like a bowl or a pan. And then it's clean. And I go, why is this just sitting here clean? And then I realize that somebody was emptying the dishwasher and didn't know where that object went. So they just put it on the counter instead of asking, hey, where does this go? Or opening some cupboards and finding out where other similar items. What was the item yesterday?
Live. It was a pan. Like a sauce pan that goes in the pan drawer. Correct. The pan cupboard, I guess. Right.
They all go in there. Mm hmm. Yep. So who didn't know that?
Unsure. We've lived in that house for 14 years. That's right.
The pans have been in the same place the whole time. Yep. Yep. And for somebody to just go, I don't know where this goes. I'm just going to leave it here. Instead of opening a drawer or a cupboard and saying like, oh, here's where the rest of the pans go. Mm hmm. Maybe I'll put it with the rest of the pans.
What an idea. And then the other part that happens a lot is that there's bowls. We have glass bowls and we have metal bowls. That's right. And they're different sizes. That's right. And so you have to stack them. Yeah, like nesting those.
In order of size. Yeah. And then you have a large bowl on top of a small bowl and then the whole system collapses. At least that, but then the whole system collapses. Yeah. Yeah.
So. What was it the last time that it wasn't a pan? Do you remember what it was?
I think it was probably a bowl. Right. Usually there's utensils where they go, I don't know where this goes. Yeah. I check the utensil drawer. Probably.
Probably a good place. Yeah. Do you like when things get put away like the tongs? Do you like them closed or open?
I like them closed. Yeah. Makes sense.
They take up less space. Yeah. I'm with you.
Okay. A lot of times they just get thrown in there. Mm hmm. They do. They really do. Yeah.
Same with the kitchen scissors. Yeah. They don't get shut and they get thrown in. Yeah. Taking up too much room when they're all open like that.
I'm grateful that the knives get put away in their sheaths. Yeah. That's important.
Because danger. I'm surprised about that. Yeah. I get that.
I mean, I know where the things go. I'm living with a bunch of Neanderthals is what I'm saying. Hey, just make fun of my DNA. It's rude. It's not my fault. It's not like we have a lot of cupboards either or a lot of space. Yeah.
No. And it isn't hard to look around if you don't know where something is or goes or to say, Hey, where does this go? I don't know where this goes.
So that you can learn that for the next time. Yeah. Yeah.
Where would it be if you needed to go get it? That's the answer. That's the teaching. Oh, if you were going to get that pan out, where would it be?
Yeah. Where would you go look for it? Put it there. Smart. That's the teaching method. You go, I know, you know, when you need to make soup or mac and cheese, you know where to go get the pan. I will say where does the pan go that I'm impressed that they learned where the colanderers go. Well, they stack in the back of the same bowl cover. Yes, correct.
Yeah, I know that. What's the name of our dog? Luna. How many nicknames do you think you have for her?
A bunch. Fox face, because of her face being all shaggy and looking like a fox. You call her that though? Do you ever go fox face?
This morning I looked at her when she was eating and she looked up at me and I went, Hey, fox face. And then Lou. Yeah.
Lou boo. Yeah. I got that. Those two. I was thinking of them yesterday because I call her all kinds of stuff. Yeah.
Lunar, Lunaduna, Scruff, Lunatic, Lou, Louber, Loon, Lou boo, Lou b Lou. Yeah. So many different things. Here's the thing I've seen people posting online is that like they'll have a name for their animal, but one time they called them something different.
And then it changed to this and then it changed to this. So that is why my dog is named. Right. Something is not even close to what the original name was. Well, now we think we've been calling her corn dog a lot lately.
Yeah, because she answers to it. Hey, corn dog. And she was like, What's up? Your name is corn dog. I think your name is corn dog.
Which is hilarious. Never had a dog called corn dog. So we've been calling her that now.
Right. People are going to go, What's your dog's name? Corn dog. She responds to it. I go, Hey, corn dog. What's up? She says, What can I do for you?
Do you need me? How did we even determine that? I think I said something about like, quit being a corn dog and she looked like perked up and I went, No way. Not really. Corn dog. She doesn't typically respond to Luna. No, she's like, That's not my name.
I'm not going to listen to you. Yeah. When she perks up when you go corn dog. Huh? What's up? You know, great. Her name is corn dog. I love it. So that's our dog's name now, along with all the others. She's corn dog.
Yeah. Luna the wonder Jack Russell. Lubey. Lubey Loo Hoo.
Lubey Loo Hoo. I've never heard that. I've called her that before.
Yeah. Well, you want to know why she doesn't answer the Luna's because you've got all these 600 different versions of it. Corn dog. She's like, Now that's a new one.
I want you to tell me your, I'm going to give you, we're going to rate recess games. I want you to tell me, we're going to go, you're going to, we're going to, what do you, what is happening? I don't know, Josh. I can't form my thoughts into sentences. Okay. Do you have a pen? I have a pencil. Okay. Great.
And a pad of paper. You're going to, we're going to talk about recess games and you're going to rate them in order of what you liked best versus what you liked least dodgeball. Okay.
Where are you going on that one? How many are there? One, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight, nine, 10. Okay.
You know, I have to have the whole list and then I rank. Okay. Dodgeball, red rover. Okay.
Kickball. Okay. Tag. Okay.
Freeze tag. Those are different. Yes. Okay. Jump rope. All right. Monkey bars. Okay. Tetherball. Okay.
Simon says, heads up seven up. That wasn't a recess game. That was in class game. Who played heads up seven up in recess?
No one. That's 10. One, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight, nine, 10. Okay.
I am going to pick kickball as one. As number one? Same.
I'm going to put red rover as number two. Oh, how come? That's so high on the list. I, both of these involve a lot of classmates. Okay.
And I think anytime you got to do something that was with the whole class, it was cool. Yeah. Yeah. So that's why I'm going to put dodgeball at number three because it's also a multi, you know, big group type of game. From there, I'm going to go with heads up seven up.
Yes. And number four, I'm going to put freeze tag is better than regular tag. So it gets number five, tag gets number six.
I'm going to put jump rope or double Dutch. It's the same. It's not the same. It's the same. No.
If I've got a rope with the little bead things on it, the little noodle looking beads on it, and I'm doing that by myself, or if I have a little speed rope, or am I swinging a single rope with somebody and people are jumping in or a double one and people are jumping in, there's a difference. Okay. So sorry. We'll say double Dutch. You're going to put that one higher. Now I've ruined your whole system, haven't I? Yeah.
I'm going to put that at seven. Oh. It's going to be that if it was just me jumping, it's going lower because that's boring.
Exercise? No way. Then I'm going to put tetherball at number eight. I'm going to put Simon says at number nine. I'm going to put monkey bars at number 10 because they're just boring. Okay.
I used to do them a lot, but you'd cross it once and then you just have to get back in line. It's not that great. The rings were better. Oh, interesting. Because there was a swinging motion to the rings and you could see if you could skip some. Well, you could do that on the monkey bars too. Yeah, but they're boring.
It's just a sideways ladder, isn't it? Boo. It's bottom of the list. That's my list. Good list.
What's your top five? Let me see. Let me see your list.
Let me look. I agree with you on dodge, not dodgeball. You put kickball.
Kickball is never a bad thing. I'm going to put number one for sure. And then I'd also pick red rovers. Number two. I agree 100% with you on those. Then what's your three, four, five?
Three, four, five would be dodgeball. Right. Even though I wasn't very good at it. Because I have good logic about involving the whole class. People picked me last in dodgeball, but you can't imagine why. Because you didn't have enthusiasm. I don't want to play. I'm no good at it. I'll just be over here being last pick. Yeah, because you weren't in there like, I can't wait to throw some dodgeball.
I would put Simon Says higher because I did like Simon Says. I was pretty good at it. It's not boring. It's fun.
Following rules. It's only fun if you're Simon. No, it is it. Yep. It's like 500 is only fun when you're throwing it.
And freeze tag is only fun when you're not the person it. That's okay. Good list. Okay.
So here's something I learned recently as in this morning. Okay. Facebook doesn't know anything about me. Well, we already knew this because it was sending you train videos. Well, it was, I don't know what that was about. This morning I get a notification on my marketplace.
There was a little dot. So I click on marketplace and it says, we thought you'd like this. What do you think Facebook marketplace thinks boy that I would like because the stuff it's showing me is like truck parts and landscaping stuff and gardening things and motorcycles. I'm good with all that. Yeah. Yeah. What do you think it says we thought you'd like this plus it can ship to your house. I don't know.
Give me some kind of hint. It's nothing I would ever care about or look for. I don't need it. I don't want it.
It's also not my size. So it knows literally nothing about me. I don't know.
Tell me. It thinks I would like a full source type R class to solid survey or safety vest in size extra large for $7 plus they can ship it to my house. I don't care about that. Facebook marketplace. We thought you might like this. We thought you might like a giant survey or safety vest. Josh, why wouldn't you like that? I want that.
You want an extra large size extra large full source type R class to solid survey or safety suit yellow. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah.
Slash lime. How much is it $7 and they'll ship it to your house. I want it. You could also make an offer and I would say zero. No, give me. I'll give you $2 make it zero.
No, hit that make an offer. This is a screenshot. Dang it. In case you were wondering, I've fooled the Internet. Maybe it's just me whispering things in your phone. Why would you whisper safety best survey safety best survey safety best.
Well, listen, we do have a surveyor friend. So maybe he is secretly saying things to your phone. Maybe. I bet it's him from Star Valley. He's whispering that far. Carl, we see you. That's a big whisper.
It's a long con. He's like, I'm going to get this kid in a vest. We're going to get this kid in a surveyors uniform.
I don't want that vest. I saw a guy on the Internet who said he goes back to work after the weekend and people go, Hey, how was your weekend? What'd you do?
Anything fun? And he lies. He lies.
He says, Oh yeah, I played some pickleball. He said, Because the corporate mindset can't understand my hobby. What's his hobby? He 3D prints and is building a miniature scale ski resort in his garage. He's got ski runs and cars and the whole mountain terrain and little like cat tracks like the little grading machines. He's got all of it.
That's hilarious. And so he lies to his work about his hobby. When they say, What did you do all weekend? He's like, Oh, nothing. I just played some pickleball because they can understand pickleball, but they can't understand that he 3D prints massive amounts of little tiny figurines for his scale ski resort model. I know, but he's like the corporate world can't understand my hobby.
So I have to lie. I was just reading a poem about just like right before you said this, I was just reading a poem about making your corner of the planet as weird as you want it to be. And it said, remember that every doctor is just a body nerd and every rock star is just a music nerd. And everybody has one nerdy thing about them. Or many on what your nerd thing is. Our son is a space nerd. Our daughter is a makeup nerd.
It's where I'll just nerd. You own a metal detector. Hey, yeah. Hey, yeah.
Yep. So, you know, I like touching fish. You're a nerd in a lot of ways. You have a lot of nerd hobbies.
I know I do. I like looking at maps. I like like cartography stuff. I really enjoy that for some reason. I like finding junk. That sounds cool.
Finding junk with a metal detector. Yeah. Woo.
Right. I like driving a little car over rocks. You know, these are the things that make me happy. I'm not growing a garden. I'm a nerd.
Who cares? Be your own little nerd. I'm my own little nerd.
If you need a 3D print, something in your garage, do it. Yeah. Who cares? It was pretty massive. It was pretty cool.
If I had a 3D printer, I'd probably print some stuff. Why is he too ashamed to? No, he's not ashamed. He just, he says they don't understand. He goes, no one understands what I do for fun. And he's like, I build this model.
It's a really super special thing to me, but no one gets it. And so when I go back to work and they say, what'd you do all weekend? He's like, Pickleball. Watch TV. Yeah.
You know, the you read a book. Yeah. Just regular stuff. You know what he wants to like fully explain themselves? Like, like you did what?
Or get weird looks or be judged or. Yeah. So he just played pickleball. Normal stuff. Every weekend. God, you play an awful lot of pickleball.
Yeah, I just love it. What size of paddle do you use? Two. One in each hand. Don't be ashamed of your hobbies.
Oh, no. Moral nerds. Would you rather this or that? Would you rather go without elbows?
What? Go without elbows? So you drive a car or pickups or what? Go without knees. Oh, no. I've seen some people walking that looks like they go without knees. Bend them. Why are you walking like that? And also pick up your feet. Okay. I can hear you shuffling.
Bend your knees and pick up your feet. Please. Okay.
What are you doing? You know who I'm talking about. You've seen these people. Oh, I've seen them. Yes. But why do they walk like this?
I don't know. Every time you sit down. It's a scuttle. How are you even going to stand up out of a chair? You've played with Barbies.
You know how this looks and works. Where did you go? Well, I put my chair lower so that I could try and go without knees. I'm going to attempt. Oh, I bent.
This is hard. Yeah, no kidding. You can't go without knees.
That's why we have them. Don't pick that one. Just stand. Never sit. Everybody's like, you need to sit down. You're making me nervous.
You're like, I can't. I'm going to go without elbows, I think. Okay. Pick that chair up with no elbows. Okay. Yeah, no, elbows are bent.
Elbows are bent. Okay. It's hard. Yeah.
No kidding. How do you write anything? Far away. Read a book. Nope. Look at your phone.
Nope. This is a tough one. This is a tough one. I'm going elbows though. I think it's easier than the no knees. I think I'm going no knees and I'm either going to be standing or laying down.
Always. But you have to, when you lay down, you just have to fall. No, I have muscle control. I just can't bend knees. But I can still walk.
I mean, it's silly. It's going to look, it's a lot of back and forth teetering to walk with no knees. So hope you like how that looks.
I do. I'll be like, come on, dear. And then I'll just have to apologize for you everywhere I go.
While you have no elbows. Please excuse my husband. Please excuse him. Stupid.
Yeah. You'll be an excellent flag team person. You could land airplanes. No, you're bending. This is because I don't want to smack monitors and stuff. You're terrible at having no elbows. Try to pick knees. Try to move around with no knees.
Okay. Try to go about your day with no bending. I'm going to lay down the hallway. I have to use the restroom. We'll see how it goes.
Good luck. Would you rather this or that? I was just telling you. You just literally said, look, how we were able to make an entire show with nothing. We have nothing. We started out the show at six o'clock and you were like, we don't even know what we're talking about. Yeah, we got nothing to talk about today.
And here we are going out just the same way we came in. I mean, listen, we have talked about a lot of nothing today. Yeah. We filled every hour with stuff to talk about. That's right.
I mean, it was of any... You're banging around. Is it time to clean your keyboard? Is that what's happening? No, I was just... We're just going to do that now? I was just moving it, but that's all. I'm fine. I feel like you look what you dumped out of it. Gross. I know you turned it upside down and banged it around.
What'd you think was going to happen? Gross. You know, food crumbs or something. I don't know what all of that is. A bunch of dust came out.
Well, get more. Dust. Yeah. Yeah, you got to get it all out. It's a bunch of dead finger skin. Oh, isn't it so gross when you clean out your keyboard? Yeah.
Yeah. Why are you doing it now? I didn't intend to, but look what happened. I mean, you sit still.
I can't. I know. You got something going on. I'm just going to get it all out of your keyboard. Yeah, I'm kind of grossed out. Yeah, you should be. That was gross. It was gross. I think that was a new keyboard that I took out of a package.
So that's all yours. No, no, it was not. This is not a new keyboard. I mean, not new as in like, I opened it yesterday, but when we put it in here, it was new. No. When did you put it in here? I don't know.
A couple of years ago. Yeah. This is not a new keyboard. This is not... No way.
This is years and years and years old. I don't know about that. I do. You have a keyboard at your other job.
It's missing letters. No, no, no. Oh, you did? You got a replacement? I got a replaced.
Oh, good. It wasn't missing letters. It was missing the bump.
Oh, so you could never find where J and F were located. No, it got replaced. Somebody sat down to use my computer one day and was like, I hate that keyboard. I ordered you a new one and I was like, oh, thanks. That's a nice way to get things replaced. Can I have that person come over here and look at the things I use and go, no, no, this isn't good. This isn't going to do it.
This doesn't cut it. What are we working with here? What are you doing now? Well, now I've got ADD and so now I just want to really clean out the computer keyboard. Okay. Yeah, I need like a, what do you got? A medication. You need a medication is what you need. I need like a medication. I need a Clorox wipe and I need an air can blower thing.
And medication might work. We'll see what we can get you over the weekend. We're going to wrap up the show for today. Let you get busy cleaning your case.
I'm going to get a new keyboard. Yeah, I got things to do. Yeah, apparently I got to get to work. I got to check this whole alphabet and the number pad.
Don't forget the number pad. Have a great weekend. Stay warm. It's going to be a little bit chillier, especially overnight. Watch for those freeze warnings.
Do we have freeze warnings? Perhaps. No, we're not going to be around to cover our plants. We'll have some folks around. It'll be okay.
Oh, no. It's 39. The overnight low tomorrow is 36.
The overnight low Sunday and Monday, both days, 33. What is happening? And then it's fine. We just have a, it's still, look, it's barely mid-May. I understand, but all these colds and these hots are creating a lot of wind. Oh, I'm tired of the wind. The wind has to go. The wind has to go.
