Full show transcript:
Okay, I want to have a party with some of our friends and it might not be as fun a party as you think it might be, but it's going to be a real fun party for me. What does this party entail? And I'm hesitant only because of your really long lead in to talk me out of being excited for it. What's up?
I want to have a spelling bee party. Nope. Why? Why do you want to spell for fun? Because it's fun and I'm good at it. Okay.
And I... So join an adult spelling bee. I think it would be fun to see how many of our friends can actually spell and then I'll be like, no, you're wrong.
There is a national adult spelling bee. No, but I don't want to do that. I just want to do it with my friends. I don't want it to be... You win a thousand bucks. Oh. Hey. It happened in March. Oh.
Well, they'll be doing it again, I'm sure. You have to be at least 14 years old. Done.
You have to be a resident or a student in North America. Done. Costs you $10 to register.
Done. You do it early in March. You can go watch for five bucks. So that's what I'm going to have to pay. And then the winner gets $500 for your favorite nonprofit organization school or place of worship and you yourself get $500.
That's your $1,000 prize. So you get to help out a cause, which is awesome. They've got official judges.
They also have a $1,000 national kids spelling bee the same day. Do you have to qualify? No. You sign up and then you're in it.
Okay, but they give you really difficult words. Yeah. Well, here's a cool thing. You said you could spell. So here are some adult spelling words. And I'm going to go all the way down here to adult spelling bee words. And I'm going to give you a list. We're going to see how well you do.
All right. These are crazy words. Let's start with narcissistic. Oh, easy.
N-A-R-C-I-S-S-I-S-T-I-C. That is correct. Thank you. Narcissistic. Indispensable. Okay.
Indispensable. I-N-D-I-S-P-E-N-D-A-B-L-E. Wrong. Oh, what? You said you spelled indispensable. Oh, dang it.
It is indispensable. Dang it. That's an S instead of B. I'm already out.
Anya, out of here. I'll give you one more. Okay. They put Mississippi in here. Come on now. M-I-S-S-I-S-S-I-P-P-O. That doesn't count. Everybody knows how to spell that. Okay. I'm going to go all the way down here.
Let's go with decentralization. Oh, easy. D-E-C-E-N-T-R-A-L-I-Z-A-T-I-O-N. That is correct. Boom. Shaka-laka.
Boom, shaka-laka. Okay. There's a lot on here.
A lot that I couldn't even pronounce. Here's- Oh, entrepreneurs is a good word. Here's a good word. Here's what would be- here's where I would get hung up. Uh, people looking at me.
People looking at you. That's why you just look down at your number and spell it with your finger and then say it out loud. But then that- there's too much pressure. Like there's going to be a clock ticking or something or a timer. I don't know. Here's a word. Pressed a digitation. No, I can't spell that. Inconsequential. That one's hard too.
Yeah, I know. You might say troublesome, which is another word. T-R-O-U-B-L-E-S-O-M-E. Yeah, troublesome. Incoherently. Oh, that one's easy. Table, spoonful. Easy.
Those ones are easy. Okay. Aeronautical. A-E-R-O-N-A-U-T-I-C-A-L. Let's go. I'm pretty good at spelling. Yeah, well sign up.
Win yourself some money. That'd be cool. I kind of want to. We'll go get it done. Okay. And let's start the show. Okay.
Okay, here we go. What's up? What's going on? What's going on with you? Nothing.
I'm sitting here in this comfy new chair and I'm just hanging out. What do you know? I know that I was trying to annoy you this morning and you weren't falling for it. Are you mad about it? Kind of.
Yeah, you kind of seem like it because here's the thing. I know your bits. You don't know anything about me. And one of your bits is to try to sit there and do something annoying until I go, what? And then you get great satisfaction out of that. And so today you were clacking your headphone plug for, I don't know, a good minute or so.
Yeah. And I just ignored it and kept working. And then eventually you stopped and I said, I win. And then you were mad. Look at your little glare. Look at you. Open your eyes all the way.
No, I won't. When you look at me. Don't you dare talk to me like that. Don't tell me what to do.
So yeah, anyway, that bit failed for you this morning. Josh. Shantel. Get over yourself. I'm just fine. I didn't have a failed bit. I won this one. It really was a matter of outlasting the other person. And you did.
You outlasted. That is correct. And then when I said, I win, you said, I knew you knew. Well, yeah, I knew.
I'm not like I can hear and it's click clacking and it's annoying. And if you'd stopped, that'd be great sooner than you did. But I knew I could win. This won't be the last you ever hear from me. I know.
I've lived with you a long time. But thanks for trying this morning. That was a good attempt. You know what it was?
It wasn't annoying enough. Okay. So that was easy for me to be like, I got this. Good to know. Yeah. Thanks for this.
You're going to have to really up the annoyance in order for me to be like, I've had enough. All right. Can do. Challenge accepted.
No, right. Don't think that my resistance won't increase as well. My tolerance is high for your shenanigans. No.
Yeah. I've beat you before. I'll beat you again. When? Oh, many, plenty of times. Many a plenty.
It hurt it here first. That's what I know is going on. Okay.
It's getting chilly here in the morning. That's what I also know. When do you think you're going to try again? Oh, like I'm going to say. Like today, you think? Oh, probably. Oh, good. Can't wait.
Very excited. Maybe. Maybe tomorrow. Okay. We'll see. Well, good luck to you, pal. Same to you, bud.
Open your eyes when you look at me. The poor Ravens. The poor Baltimore Ravens. Oh.
I thought you meant the birds. No, no, no. My second favorite team.
Okay. The poor Baltimore Ravens. I've never heard them called the poor Ravens.
What's going on? They are one in five. That's what I think about to change. Is it? Have you looked at their schedule?
No. So the Baltimore Ravens schedule for the remainder of the year. Here's what they've got. They've got the bears on Sunday. Okay.
They've got the dolphins next Thursday. Okay. Oh.
You see what I'm saying? Bears, dolphins. Then they play the Vikings. The bears are pretty good. Then they play the Vikings.
The Vikings are very good. Then they play the Browns. Then they play the Jets. Then they play the Bengals. Oh. So their schedule is taking a big turn.
It is going to change. I'll tell you why. Because after they lost to the Kansas City Chiefs, which Ravens come on, I know. You can't even beat the Chiefs to come up.
Their coach, John Harbaugh, Yeah. took away their ping pong tables, their basketball hoop, their cornhole boards, and their video game consoles. Look, there's no time for playing. We got football to focus on. Well, they had kind of a crack down a couple of weeks ago because there was an Instagram post by the punter on their team. And it showed Lamar Jackson playing a video game with the caption, Hard at Work.
Oh, no. And then they got their video games taken away. But even without those distractions, they then continued to lose their next two games. So, not necessarily the games as well. But they didn't just lose.
Like, let's be clear here. Like, they went from beating the Browns 41 to 17 to losing to the Lions 38 to 30 to then losing to the Chiefs 37 to 20 to then losing to the Texans 44 to 10 to then losing to the Rams 17 to 3. Like, it isn't that they're just losing. Like, something's going on. Yeah. Clearly. So, yeah, it makes sense. You'd want to turn that around.
So, Bears this week, Dolphins, then the Vikings on November 9th, you get to watch both your favorite teams at the same time. What? November 9th. That's always tricky, because it's like, who do I vote for?
I like both of them. It's when you wear football. And you go, football! Sports. Yeah.
You get real excited about that. Football is back tonight. Who's playing tonight, do you know? Mmm, couldn't tell you. I do not know. I bet a quick Google search will tell you.
It's the Vikings at the Chargers. Oh, I should have known that. Yeah, you should have.
Disappointing. The Vikings at the Chargers. Yeah, Vikings 3 and 3, Chargers 4 and 3. Yeah, we had a pretty rough week last week, but the Chargers, come on. Come on. We can beat the Chargers.
Who's the coach of the Chargers? Sure. Let me find out. All right.
A quick Google search will tell you. Sometimes I get confused by the Ravens, not the Ravens, by the Rams coach and the Chargers coach. Okay.
Jim Harbaugh. Okay, there you go. And now you know. Is he related to John Harbaugh? Sure.
A quick Google search will tell you. Are you excited about football this week? You were a little bit hymn-haused. We talked about it earlier this week. Okay, hold on.
Yes, John Harbaugh, coach of the Ravens, his older brother to Jim Harbaugh, the Chargers coach. There you go. I did not know that.
Well, now you do. When they go head to head, I wonder what that's like. Probably just fine. Here's what's going to happen.
I get so excited because when I find out new football stats, I go back. Yeah, and he's going to go, I know. Yeah, he's like, yeah.
He's old news. He's probably going to say, yeah, I told you that like three weeks ago. That's probably true. Yeah.
Because you probably asked. We went, yep. Dang it. So there you go. There you go.
Did they look similar? I'm sorry. I asked if you were excited about football this week because you were a little hymn-haub out at earlier. Hymn-ha? Yep. Yeah, I'm kind of still a little hymn-haub. Okay.
Well, quit being so hymn-haub. Some good news. This is a story from about four years ago where Tim Heatherly went to the doctor because he had some pretty simple back pain. He wanted to get it checked out. And he learned that he had chronic kidney disease. Oh, no. Which is a life-changing diagnosis, especially somebody in their late 20s. Oh, no.
Young guy, right? Tim's kidneys were failing, and so a dialysis became a big part of his life. Four hours a day, three days a week.
He's connected to the dialysis machine that keeps him alive. But obviously this takes away some freedoms. Yeah. That's a big commitment you have to deal with. And Tim needed a kidney transplant. And when a friend stepped up, they're like, Tim, absolutely, let's see if I'm a match.
They were all rejected by doctors, not a match. Dang it. Yeah, I know. This universal kidney thing you talked about a while ago.
It wasn't necessarily a thing. So Tim's mom took the next step and posted his story on Facebook, which turned out to be the right move because a stranger from Tim's hometown in Missouri saw the Facebook post, was inspired to help out. And this particular stranger, Joe Turner, is his name, said he remembered all the times that he'd struggled and been given second chances and thought that it would be a great chance to offer somebody also a second chance here. So he had tests conducted by doctors, and they found out that Joe was indeed the perfect match for what Tim needed.
Great. Which led to a successful surgery. Tim's life has now turned around within days of leaving the hospital. Tim is very grateful to Joe's sacrifice, which he admits was an unexpected gift.
He said he's doing something huge for a stranger, which in this day and age is not a lot of people that do things like that for their friends, let alone a stranger. And the two men are still healing. They now message each other every day.
They have certainly become close friends since the surgery. I would just be checking in and going, how's my kidney doing, bud? Taking good care? We're still working?
It'd be pretty fun, but... Don't you miss this up. Anyway, what a cool little story. That's nice.
So congrats to Tim and big kudos to Joe for stepping up in a huge way for somebody. That's nice. Yeah, really, really nice.
It's good news. I got a video from some friends. They sent me a video yesterday of a woman that was just eating dinner, and then she was quietly having a conversation with herself. But more than having a conversation with herself, she was not really talking about much of anything, but rather having fake scenarios with herself.
Yeah, the video was confusing to me because I don't do this. So I'm watching this play out, and she's having like half a conversation, like six different ways, and then repeating herself. She's like, oh yeah, I'm sure. Oh yeah. Oh yeah, I'm sure. Oh, you think so? Yeah, and I'm like, what is happening right now? You're playing out stuff that didn't happen, isn't going to happen, but you're just running it through your brain like for fun, for practice?
No, it's a little of both. In my experience, because my friend sent this to me and then he goes, I feel seen, and then another friend of mine said, same. I said, oh yeah, I've been here, I've done this. Oh, I bet. I said, sometimes I do it when I think I'm alone, and then somebody will walk in and be like, what's going on? Oh, you'd like to know, you're still doing it.
Okay. What happens is sometimes you'll, this is my experience, I'll think about, I'll be sitting there eating or whatever I'm doing, and I'll be thinking about conversations that I did have, and I'll be like, I can't believe you said that, Chantel, and then I'll be like, I can't believe you said that, Chantel. Do you know what I mean? No, I don't.
I'm not explaining it very well. If I've had a conversation with somebody, maybe like a week or two ago or even a couple of days ago, and I feel like I've said something dumb, that will replay over and over in my mind, or maybe it's something that I wanted to say to somebody, and then I'm like, I should have said this, and then I'll be like, should have said this. And so then when I'm alone and it's quiet, and my brain is just ruminating on itself, and I'll- Yeah, you start talking out loud.
Yeah. And then I go, what? And you're like, oh, did I say that out loud? And I go, yeah, what are you doing? Or, so it's that, I do that. And then I also do, like, if I'm anticipating a conversation that's gonna happen, I'll replace scenarios. But why?
And be like, okay, what I'm gonna say is this. I don't know why, because my brain is bizarro. Well, I mean, obviously you're not alone. I just don't understand. My brain doesn't do that. I know, wouldn't that be nice to have a brain that doesn't do that?
That would be nice. I guess. I don't know any different, so. And same to me. I don't know any different. Yeah, you should turn that off.
I don't know a hell. Yeah, that's gotta be eating you up. Oh, it is.
That sounds terrible. I would not like to have my brain be constantly doing hypotheticals. Yeah, you're doing hypotheticals. Oh, I'm aware. I'm full on aware that that's what I'm doing. So I think what you do is when you start doing that, you go, nope, and then you think about something different.
Not today. Sometimes I like doing it, though. But why? Because then it makes me feel like, like if I replay a conversation about something that I want to have happened or what I wanted to have said, then I feel better about it. Like I did actually say that.
And I'll be like, yeah, I feel good. Okay. All right. You don't get it.
Apparently not. I don't do that. You don't. Oh, maybe I should. Should I be doing that? Am I broken? Because I don't do that?
No, you are absolutely. You're probably broken because you don't do that. I don't have time for that.
Either do I. That feels like spinning wheels. Oh, it is. I lose my mind. Oh, I do. Okay. All right. So then say no.
But sometimes I like doing it. Why? I don't know. I don't know. I actually don't like doing it. I'll take your advice.
I'll see if that works. I don't know if my advice is the right thing. I don't think it is.
Spinning through solo scenarios in your head seems unhealthy is what I'm saying. If you really want to rehash it, get in touch with that person and be like, hey, that thing I said, what I really meant was whatever. And then you can hang up. And then you actually said the thing that you thought you meant to say. If it's bugging you that much.
Yeah, that's true. I could do that. But I probably won't. Because of the confrontation? Yeah. Yeah. Cool. Cool. It's fine. Good luck with your hypothetical scenarios.
Oh, thanks bud. I'll be just fine. I'll be fine. I'll be fine, right? I'm gonna be fine.
Everything's gonna be okay. For some reason, Emery was cranky at me last night. And then I was cranky at her. And then we were cranky at each other. Why were you guys being cranky?
I don't know. Whoa. Are you still cranky?
No. But you said, what did you say to us? You said, why don't you guys just hug it out?
Yeah. And I said, no, I'll never. Yeah, I don't know why you were being cranky at each other. I'll tell you why.
Because this is what happens. We're both moody, right? She's going through puberty. She's a 16 year old girl. So she gets cranky about things. I'm going through paraphernalia. So I get cranky about things.
All of these things are happening. She was cranky at me because I got home and I didn't immediately go ask her how her day was and give her a hug. I had to do something really quick and it needed to be done quickly. And so I said, hang on one second. I gotta get this taken care of. I got my computer out and then I went, ah.
I gotta go find my charger for my computer because my computer is dead. That's right. Yeah, you were going to work stuff. And she tried to intercept me and give me a hug and I kind of pushed her away and I said, hold on, I gotta get this taken care of. And that set her off. And then she, when I finally had time to go and say, hey, tell me how your day was. I'm sorry.
My full attention is on you now. It was too late. It was too late. She was like, nope. I'm just going to sit here quietly on the couch and eat my goldfish and not talk to you. And then she said, why don't you ask dad how my day was because he asked. And I told him and I went, mm-mm.
No, we're not playing that game. Well, she did tell me though. And I did ask. I asked too.
Too late. She got in the truck and I said, hey, what's up? How's it going? She was like, mm-mm.
Because that's what you get. How was it? Mm-mm. Yeah. And I went, all right. Well, anything exciting happened today? I tried to like, pull some stuff out.
Cooked it out of her. Well, I had a really hard time in my second hour and my fifth hour. And I said, which classes were those? And she said English and biology. And I said, okay.
All right. What's going on? People are just annoying.
She was already just annoyed by people. We were having a really nice class. It was quiet.
People started talking. And I couldn't focus. And I said, are you able to put in your earbuds? Like, can you do that? Is that a thing?
I don't know. Like, I feel like in a college setting or at the library or something, if you were distracted or if you were, you know, in a big city, you were riding a bus. You could put those in and you could close the world out. Right. And she said, yeah, I tried. But it didn't help because they were just so loud.
I went, sorry. So she was a little bit upset. One of life's funnest tricks is to put a mom who's going through puberty and a teenage daughter, or no, a mom who's going through paramedic bars and a teenage daughter going through puberty in the same house. Isn't that fun?
It's an adventure. Every day. I saw meme the other day that said, my daughter's cranky at me and now I'm cranky at her and then we both stomp off to our rooms. We'll be cranky at each other for a minute until one of us goes, hey, do you want to go for a refreshment? Yeah, yeah. And then we're all fine.
Yeah, exactly. Oh, a treat. Let's get a treat.
Everything's fine with the world again. Go get your little soda. Go get your cookie.
And you'll be just fine. A bit of an adventure yesterday. Yeah. For me. I got to teach a skill.
I like it when I get to teach a skill. Okay. Have you ever changed a tire? Yeah, you taught me how to change a tire. Have you ever done it though? No. Have you ever needed to do it? No. Yes. And then what did you do?
You called me. Instead of just like getting started on your own. And that's fine. It's been a long time since you've had to change a tire. That was like multiple cars ago. I mean, this has been years and years and years since you've... It's probably been at least 15 years. Since I changed a tire? Since you had a flat tire and I wasn't with you.
Yeah. And you called me instead of just jumping in and doing it. Oh, I'll never jump in and do it.
Even if I know how to do it, I'll still call you. Why? I don't know. Well... You know how?
Kind of, though. Okay, let's run through. I needed a refresher.
I just taught it last night to our daughter because she's a failure. Initially, well, let's celebrate some good news. Completed Driver's Ed, which is awesome. Big day. But as an extra credit exercise, she had the opportunity to change a tire to get some bonus points. And so, woo-hoo! Very cool.
She successfully changed a tire. So let's go through the steps real fast. Okay. Step one. Step one.
You get the jack. I'm asking you. Okay. Yeah, all right.
Get the jack. All right. That's important.
What else? You use the jack to lift up the car. No, you got to loosen the lug nuts before you lift the car up. Otherwise... You're doing great so far. Okay. And then you lift the car up. Yeah. And then you completely take the lug nuts off. That's right. And then you remove the tire. Yes. And then you put the other tire on.
Right. Put the lug nuts on. Put the jack down. Tighten the lug nuts. And then take the jack all the way out. You just lower the car still on the jack just so that you have friction.
Because before the lug nuts are tight, you can't put all the weight of the car on it. Okay. That's bad. But you're there. You know the steps.
Yeah, yeah, yeah. But it's also... I know the steps, but I don't... I remember how the jack works. I couldn't tell you where it goes. Okay.
I also... I know that it gets a little bit tight sometimes. Those lug nuts get tight. Yeah. And so then sometimes you got to use your foot to crank them off. Just use your foot anyway.
Okay. To loosen them. Because they're tight. I also don't know where that tool is to loosen the lug nuts. Uh-huh. The wrench part? Yeah.
Uh-huh. Where do you think it is? It's probably by the jack. Which is where?
In the trunk. Okay, good. See? You know where all the parts are. Where's the extra tire to spare? In the trunk.
Perfect. Unless you have a Jeep and then it's just on the back. That's right. Do you know some people don't know that that's a spare tire? Really?
Yeah. And they go, I got a flat tire. I don't know what to do. I don't have a spare. And then they go, there it is.
It's right there, bud. And they go, oh, I thought it was just a part of the car. I didn't know that was functional.
Yeah. And like I didn't know that was my spare tire. The spare tire is hiding underneath a cloth. Sometimes. Sometimes you have to, like in my truck, you have to put a little tool in there to lower it from underneath the truck.
That's a thing. Do I have a spare tire in my car? Where's mine at? It's in your trunk. I don't have a trunk. I have a hatchback. You have a spare tire in the back of your car.
Okay. Under the cloth? Under the cloth. Yes. It's hiding under the car.
That's right. It's hiding under the carpet. That's where you'll find it.
That's where it lives. I might need a refresher on how the jack works. Okay. Well, we can work on that. That's easy. That's easy.
Look at you. Anyway, I got to teach that to our daughter. And she got her extra bonus points.
And when she showed the picture to her teacher, the teacher said, that dad looks happy. You do. You do. I like teaching the skill. That was good. Good job. Yeah.
Thanks. We, well, three out of the four of us got new phones. This is true. Sorry, Josh. It's fine. Mine wasn't ready for an upgrade. I thought maybe I was going to be able to do it. I had hoped so. And I asked the questions that I needed to ask. And I was firmly told that no.
Brutally denied. That is not for me. That is for everyone else, but not for me. Well, let's break this down. You and Beck were due for new phones. Right. You guys had fulfilled your obligations for your previous phones. You had old phones.
Beck's getting ready to go on a trip. And so we felt like that guy needs to have a better phone, something that plugs in, something's got a better battery life. And he's due for a new phone anyway. His charge port, he had to charge wirelessly.
Couldn't plug it in to charge. It's been a problem. Yeah. So we said, hey, let's get this guy hooked up. Let's get him going.
And while we're there, let's take a look, because you're due for one anyway. You've been running on the six. Now you're on the 10.
I'm on the Google Pixel 10. That's right. Baby. Yeah, 10 Pro XL. You went for the big one.
Yeah. And so did he, which is great. And then we had this, like, we'll pay off your phone and give you a new one on us, like this whole thing. And so that's what we ended up doing for Emery as well, because hers was almost ready to be paid off. Now the three of you are all on the exact same cycle of new phone. So in a few years, you'll go, okay, time for a new phone and all three of you can do the thing again. So it works out. That's convenient. I, however, am on my own little island on a weird cycle, because it's always been that way.
That's because you got an upgrade before the rest of us a couple of years ago. Right. So you're on. I'm on the eight. On an eight.
And we're on a 10, which is bad. I mean, I bet that's hard for you, because you're used to being like more technologically advanced than the rest of us. Yeah, I mean, it's a little bummer because of that, but it's not like, I've got a fully functioning, just fine phone. Well, so did I.
But mine was totally fine. Right. But you were on a six. I know. And now you're on a 10. It's like, that's like a whole new world.
Yeah, it's pretty fancy. Because you're like, I'm on the eight has been upgraded to the same software as the 10. You have different hardware. You have a faster processor, different camera sensor and stuff, which I'm excited to get to eventually. But that's fine.
I just have to wait for another, you know, 400 years or whatever it is. Here's what I, I don't know anything about phones. I rely on you to do all of the research. I rely on you. You're gonna have to figure it out. I'm not on that phone.
And here's what happens. I usually just get the same phone that you get so that you can fix it and you can tell me how to work it. I just got a notification on my phone that like take a tour to find out what your phone is about. Yeah, do that.
Get to know your Pixel 10 Pro XL. I've never done that before. You've never done the tour? Never, never, never.
I won't take the tour. I'm going to have to because I don't know anything about this phone and neither do you. So I'm going to have to do some learning. Well, good. Then you can teach me.
Here's what else I know. I do the basics of my phone, basic basics. So sometimes I'm like, I don't know why I have a fancy phone because I do the bare minimum. Sure.
I don't know the full capabilities of this phone. Inversely, I unlock developer mode so that I can fully customize mine because I like to have that control. And that's a thing I do.
I'll never do that. But I also I do want to take the tour and see what things, what cool things can I do? Well, I'm excited for you.
Let me know some of the cool things you can do. I just also hate that you have to log into all your accounts when you get a new phone. That's been a process. How many passwords did you forget? So many.
So many. You said, I can't even get into stuff. I need my password sheet. It's on my docs. I can't get into that. I don't know what to tell you. I can't log into my fantasy. That's the one thing I'm really locked out of. I don't know what that password is of your fantasy football.
Well, your other phone still has it. Yeah. Yeah. And it hooks up to Wi-Fi.
So yeah, it still works. Oh, OK. OK. I am rocking two phones now because I'm afraid for some reason that you'll have something you need that I. Yeah, exactly. No, that's good. That's important. That's that's awesome. Plus, you're really cool and fancy with two phones. You'll be that way for like a week and then you'll be like, OK, I'm done with this one. I'm done with this old phone and that's sad because.
I don't know. This phone was my best friend for so long. And then I just throw it away. No, I mean, you can still use it to put that in your craft room. That can be your streaming phone while you're working on crafts. And then you still have your other phone for like if you need to text or whatever, you don't have to stop your show.
That's not a bad idea, Josh. Yeah. Thanks. Good idea. Yeah.
I mean, you know, you don't have to just be like, I'm done with you. See you become a dust collector. Anyway, congrats on your new phone. Thanks, buddy. All right. You know that show?
Nobody wants this. Yes. With Kristen Bell. Yeah, with Kristen Bell and Adam Brody.
Yeah, Adam Brody. You had that on a while ago and I said, I don't want this. I'll tell you that much. I'm not a big like super fan.
Right. Well, apparently the new season premieres today. Oh, today.
Yeah. So if you're ready for more of nobody wants this, get excited. And Panera Bread has gotten in on the hype of this show. They've launched a limited time meal. They're calling the everybody wants this meal, which gives you the broccoli, cheddar soup, a kitchen sink cookie and a passion papaya ice cream tea.
Yeah. The meal is somehow particular to season two of the show. I don't know how. I don't know why. But if you want that soup, that cookie and that ice cream tea, it's part of the show somehow, some way.
Here's what happens. And maybe you want to have that while you're watching. In between seasons of shows, yeah, I have hooked myself on other shows. And so then I have forgotten what has happened in that first season show. And then I go, what happened? I have no idea what happened. I watched that whole first season of that show.
I don't remember anything about it. And he's like, sometimes you'll watch a show and I'm like, OK, yeah, yeah, yeah. I've seen this. You're hooked.
400 times. No, I'm not hooked a bit. I've just I've been around it enough or I've heard you watching it enough. I don't know anything about this show.
OK, I don't know a single thing other than it's called everybody or nobody wants this. And I said, including me, Adam Brody plays a Jewish. Preacher, pastor, I don't. OK, I don't know the Jewish equation of like a pastor. OK. And then she, Kristen Bell, plays a she's a podcaster with her sister.
Oh, I kind of remember seeing some scenes from this. Yeah, because I didn't like how they filmed the podcast. Yeah, I went, this is not how you do a podcast.
Yeah, you got hung up on some of those minor details. I hate it when they try to like when they show radio in a show. And I go, that's not how radio works. You know who got it right? It's a rabbi. There it is.
Thank you. You know, you know who's done it right? Frazier did radio right. And that what was that newsroom show with Dave Foley? News talk. Is that what it was called? No, news radio.
News radio, yeah. That also had Andy Dick in it. It had the guy from SNL. What's his name?
Yeah, I can't think of his name. I can't be there. But you know that show. They did radio right in that show. Yeah, Phil Hartman.
Yeah, it's his right. Yeah, Phil Hartman. Those are the two shows that I think have ever done radio justice. Every other time I've ever seen radio, I go, no, that's not how radio works.
It's not what radio looks like. That's not it. You're wrong. Your source material is wrong. Anyway, they don't do their podcast right in that show. Just so you know.
Anyone who watches goes, I could do a podcast. It doesn't look like that. It looks way different.
But they tried. So that's cool. Yeah, last night you shared some news with me and I saw it this morning as well. And I'm a little saddened by this news, but Lagoon in Farmington, Utah is retiring the Jetstar. I know.
I'm so sad. Now, a lot of people are excited about this because they're like, that thing rattles your bones. Yeah, that's what I call it.
The bone wrapper. That's the thing. Yeah, you got to hold yourself still and keep your head rigid or you are going to go It's a scrambler.
Your brain will be scrambled. Every time I ride that ride, my neck feels like. Oh yeah, it's a chiropractor.
It's a crazy ride. Now it's like you need a chiropractor after that. I am sad about it, but I'm also, I haven't ridden that ride in a long time because it rattles your bones.
It really does. It's the one ride where I go like, all three of us are going to share one seat. We're riding this thing like a hot dog. All right, here we go.
Cause it's got that long bench. Yeah. You know, right.
And then you're like, all just there. Here we go. All right.
We got a little pad on each side. Let's ride this thing. Here's the best part about amusement park rides. You all wait in line.
Are there three of you or are there four of you or are there five of you or are there six of you and you're all waiting in line. You're laughing. You're excited.
Energy levels are high. And then you get a little bit closer to the front. And this is the same for any ride, whether it's the jet star, whatever, any ride, you get closer to the front and you see how the ride, how the seats are lined up and you're like, oh, okay. This is a, this is a two-seater. Who am I, who am I going to ride with? And then you have to start like planning who you're going to ride with.
Okay. This is a three-seater, but we've, there's, there's four of us. So someone's going to have to ride alone. Who's going to be the lone passenger?
The jet star was interesting because it was, yeah. It's two. There's two people per seat, but you've got like, you got to do that straddle thing.
And so it's like, who's going to be in the back and who's sitting in my lap? Right. That's, it's a little like intimate ride.
Exactly. So you better be riding with someone that you feel real close with because if not awkward. And it is, it is one of the like lowest pass roller coasters ever. Like when you come down that spiral thing, you get so close to the ground when it's going around that thing. Like you could reach out and touch it.
Yeah. If you weren't keeping your arms and legs inside the vehicle at all times. That is a ride. Well, no more. It's retiring, which is, which is crazy.
Here's what they said. It debuted in 1976 and it has provided a generation of thrills at Lagoon. It's a 1900 foot coaster that is a piece of Utah history and one of the park's most popular attractions for nearly five decades. They will be retiring Jetstar two following the conclusion of the season this year, which is, which is interesting. The park will be open two bonus weekends, blah, blah, blah. And they are planning a worthy successor.
So that's what they said, which I think is, is, is a really, really interesting. Because it means they have to put a coaster there. Whatever it is, it has to be some sort of coaster that they put in that space. And I'm trying to think what else is around there because it's right next to where you get off the, the, what's that thing called the ski lift, the chair lift thing. It's right by that. And then there's like other stuff right around it. Yeah. I know it's around it. They've got the, they've got like, there's like a plane ride.
Right. Which was my favorite as a kid. It's not even a kid ride. You can ride that as an adult.
But it was my favorite as a kid. And now I find myself getting real sick on the ones that spin around like that. And then they have the umbrellas a little bit down the way, a little bit too. Yeah. I'm looking at the map here.
It's been a hot minute since we were in the So I'm trying to remember. Yeah. So jet stars right here.
Yeah. The planes. Oh, and then they have that other, they have the two airplane ones, the one that goes around and around where you control the little sail thing, which was my favorite. And then they have the other one that spins with the airplanes. So they have, they have the two airplane rides right there.
And then behind it is where they have like rocket and the slingshot with the ball. Yeah. Whatever.
Catapult. Yeah. I think is what it's called. So there's not a ton of space right there because it's also right next to where they have like food and stuff and Odyssey is right there. So all that stuff is right there.
So there's not a ton of room. Oh, I want to go to Lagoon. We haven't been there in a little while.
And it's been a minute. I love Lagoon. Yeah. We always went for Frightmares too.
I know. Because it's the best time to go. I mean, no, the summer is the best time to go. Please don't go and Frightmares. We haven't been in years and years. It's been, it's probably been five or six years at least.
I know how sad. There's only one. One, one, one. Yeah. There you go.
Anyway, so sad about the Jetstar. It's a fun one. It's a fun one. You know what would be fun is if we could have one of those cars that we could just sit in.
Watch TV. Yeah. Come on. Who's in there?
I'm the hot dog. Here we go. Welcome back. Thank you. I feel frazzled.
Yeah. Our son had an orthodontist appointment this morning. And so you had to run out of the building for a minute or two.
Normally he just goes by himself because it's just usually like a wham bam. Everything looks great. Like here's your wires. Here's your rubber bands.
La-di-da-di-da. You're on your way. He was having a little bit of some car trouble this morning. So he said, I can't get there. And I went, ah, crud.
So you and I hurried and recorded a couple of spots. That's right. And then I said, okay. So you can be out here for a minute. I'm on my way.
I'll be there in a minute. And it's fine. Everything's all fine and dandy, except I got behind a cop. Oh, so you had to obey the laws.
Speed limits. You had to obey the rules. You hate that when you have to obey the rules. I always obey the rules. I always drive exactly how I'm supposed to.
No, I know that about you. You're a good driver. It's fine.
So I pick him up. We go to the, or the dentist and I go, I'm so sorry. We're late. I'm so sorry. We had some car problems this morning and she's, ah, I don't know if he's got time.
Let me see if he can even see you. And I was like, you better see me because I booked it over here. Right. And she said, yeah, we can, we can get you in.
And here's the problem. Our son has now had braces. I think it's going on three years.
That's what I was thinking. It's been a long, long time because he's got a tooth that won't do what it needs to do. He has got a canine that is more stubborn than anything I've ever seen in my life. And he's had all kinds of stuff done, laser surgery stuff. Like they've done all kinds of stuff to try to get this tooth to like do what it needs to do. And it just will not budge. And they tried. Today he tried this. It's a rapid extraction. Oh, fun.
He's trying, which is a different way to place the wires. I hope this works. I know. Otherwise, like he said, one of the last options we have is to just knock that tooth out and then put it in an implant.
Okay. Which, I get it. But also like the rest of his mouth is done with the braces. Oh yeah. Oh yeah. Like everything else is done. It's just this one tooth we're trying to get to be a tooth.
Man. And not that like the orthodontist we go to, perfectly lovely. The people are nice.
We love going there. We're sick of it. I'm tired of being here. I'm sick of making these appointments.
I'm sick of seeing you guys. And even they said the same thing. They're like, listen, we love you, but we want to kick you out. Yeah, we got to be done here. I think they're probably also not excited to see us because my payment's paid. Yeah, right? Like they're not getting any more money from me. So they're like, we got to get you out of here. This is true.
That's probably a good point. We've now, yeah, paid the bill. Paid it full for a while. We're just dealing with it at this point. Man, we got to get this thing figured out.
What do we, what do we have to do differently? Anything? Like, does there like, like, does it need to eat more vegetables to help that tooth grow? No, the tooth has grown. It's just not, what's the word?
Descending. It's just like, nah, I'm living here. Forget about it. It's weird. I know. It's a pain. I don't understand. It's a pain in the butt.
Tired of going to the orthotontist. Well, you've got it taken care of today. So that's good news.
And I'm here. Yes. Everybody's fine.
That's right. No accidents. Everybody obeyed the speed laws. Perfect. Good.
No speeding tickets. We're good to go. We're back live. Okay. Very good. Welcome back. Thank you. Yo. So a couple of days ago, I told you a story about how I had to go pick up some road signs. That's right. And the dudes there were like, these aren't going to fit in your car.
And I was like, yeah, they are. Watch this. Fold down the seats. Put those road signs in.
I got a little golf. They fit. All right. Good to know.
I had to take those road signs back. Okay. Yesterday.
Yeah. I didn't tell you this story. No, you didn't. I have a little car. Yeah. You had quite the adventure picking them up because the guys were trying to help you. You thought that you were going to have to come back and get my truck and pick them up. And so then you went to leave and they stopped you and they were like, no, no, no, we'll put them in now.
Like we'll figure it out. And they got them loaded up for you. And then you went, you did your thing. Now you have to take them back. Let's start at the beginning. Loading them up in the car.
How'd it go? To take them back? Yeah. Fine. That was no problem.
No problem. Got them in the car. Although I did get scolded.
I had two road work ahead signs. Yeah. And then I had their big giant bases that are long metal poles. All right.
And then I had two sidewalk closed signs. Okay. So are these the fold out ones? Okay. Yeah. Because I use those when we do roadside cleanup.
That's how we do our like litter cleanup ahead signs. Same deal. Got it. So when he loaded up the signs, he put the sidewalk closed signs in first and then he put the road work ahead signs down and then he put the long metal poles on top of that. Check that.
I loaded it in. I put the road work ahead signs in, metal poles. And then more signs.
Sidewalk closed signs ahead. So you had them sandwiched between. When I got there, he kind of scolded me like, oh, you put those on the very bottom.
And I went, it all has to come out. So I don't know what the problem is. Okay. But back up a little bit because I'm a pretty good driver. I'm not the best backer-upper. And I'll fully admit to that. So you're real good in forward, not so hot in reverse. Correct.
All right. And I don't have a backup camera. And sometimes I feel like my car is bigger than it is. And I know that I have tons of space, but I go, this is going to, I had a four point turn this because I'm not going to make this.
Meanwhile, everybody around me is like, bro, you got six days worth of space. Yeah. So.
It's true. You also have a depth perception thing. I do. I have a depth perception problem for sure. And I don't know that it's a visual impairment. It's just that your ability to determine space is challenged. You don't know how far away or how close something is, even when it's like right next to you.
That's what I'm trying to say. Like how far apart are we? And that's, and you'll be like, I don't know. Let me see how far apart we are in belts. And I go, that's not a measurement.
I don't need to know how many belts away we are. I need to know real physical numbers. And that's why you don't think in like inches and feet. No, that doesn't make sense in my brain.
You think in belt loops. If you tell me something's five feet away, that means nothing to me. Nothing. How far away are you from the door right now? If you had to guess. I would say about eight feet. You're more than eight feet away.
You're closer to 10 feet away from that door. You had to measure a couch the other day. I say, you go, I gotta go find a tape measure.
I go, let me just lay down on it. And I'll tell you, I'm five feet four. If it's smaller than me or bigger than me, I could tell you. That's not about six feet.
No, because the person asking wanted to know specific dimensions. Okay. There is anyway. So your inability to determine space played a part in your, in your dropping off the signs.
Yes. So I pay for the sign rental. I go outside. They're like, okay, Jim is out there waiting to unload.
Back up your car. He didn't say that. He just said Jim is out there. I go, great.
Jim's out there. I open my car and he goes, actually, I'm going to have you like drive over here. Like it would you mind just driving over here?
Yeah, then I'll have to carry them over there. Fine. Perfect. And then I decided to back up.
I decided to back into the area that he wanted me to. Cool. How very pro of you. How did Jim think you did? Did Jim say, do you need me to drive for you?
No, but he stood there for a while like, and listen. I could have carried these over here by now. You think that's what was going through his mind is like, I made a bad choice with this one. When I said, maybe bring those over here. I should have just unloaded them and carried them because I'd be done 20 minutes ago. Yeah. Is that about how it went?
All right. Jim was very nice. Jim was very helpful. I don't even think that was the actual name. Was he like pointing your directions? You don't think his name's Jim?
I know it started with a J, but I really want to say that it was like Jeremy or Jamie or something like that. It doesn't matter. I mean, it does.
It does matter. That's his name. I know, but I can't remember. I'm sorry, Jim, Jamie, Jeremy. I'm sorry.
I'm sorry also that I kept you waiting while I desperately attempted to back up. I don't know what I was thinking. I can do a lot of things. That's not one of my special strengths.
All right. So as you spun it around backwards and then pulled forward and then tried again and then how many times did you try to back up? Three times. And then what happened? And then I finally just said, ah, that's good enough. That's. And so you just stopped and put it in park and then went, is this good enough? No, I just got out and I opened my hatch and I said, here you go. Oh man.
And he's like, you moved a foot. Thank you. This is how helpful. This is great. Thank you very much. Oh man.
It's fine. We got to get you some. Job. Backup practice. Job is over. Can we get you some backup practice?
I'm really good at a lot of other things. Can we practice your backing up? I probably should.
I probably should. It's not hard to practice. I know.
Yeah. Let's, let's practice. We can practice your parallel parking too.
Hey, listen, you know what else is this, but yeah, I need to do that too. You know what else is a special skill? The courage that I have to say that I'm not good at something that a lot of people are good at.
It takes a special skill to admit that you're not good at something. I get that. So. I think that's great.
Kudos to me. Yeah. Right? Yes.
Yeah. Hey, would you rather this or that? Would you rather go on a horseback ride with the headless horseman? All fun. Or fly with a witch on her broomstick.
Where are we going? In either case. Yeah. Uh, wherever you want to go, I guess. Like to like a Halloween party. Or maybe just a spooky night ride in the sky. A spooky night ride in the sky.
Or on ground if you're going on a horseback. Or are you terrorizing people? Yes. So am I hanging out with Ichabod or am I hanging out with? Ichabod wasn't the headless horseman. He was the scared guy that the headless horseman was chasing.
Ichabod, Ichabod, great. Yeah. Yeah. He was the Adam's apple guy. Uh-huh. He had the big Adam's apple.
You love a good Adam's apple. All right. So who is the headless horseman then? No one knows. It says Ichabod Crane is the fictional character and the protagonist in The Legend of Sleepy Hollow. Uh, tall, lanky individual. Yeah. Usually with a big Adam's apple.
It doesn't say that. No, but if you see the cartoon, you know that he gets nervous and then he swallows. Swallows. Yeah. His Adam's apple has to adjust.
Gross. Uh, the headless horseman is an archetype of a mythical figure that has appeared in folklore around Europe since the Middle Ages. Traditionally depicted as riders on horseback who are missing their heads.
I'm going to go with the witch broom. Are you really? I think so. Why?
I don't know. Riding around with the headless horseman seems less fun. In what way? Always. All right.
He would be lacking in conversation. Hey-o. I'm actually going to pick the witch too because I bet she's an expert flyer. I don't know about all that, but I just think it might be a little bit more fun. But also it might be Elphaba.
It might. And who are? And then you're going to be flying so fast. And we're going to be singing. Oh, fun. Yeah. Yeah. All right. Would you rather this or that?
Okay. I was reading a story about a guy whose refrigerator broke on him and he went to buy a new refrigerator. Is your refrigerator running? You both broke the car. He went to go buy a new refrigerator.
Yeah. And the guy told him that the new refrigerators are only meant to last about seven to 10 years. What are we doing planned obsolescence here? And he said, that's crazy because I've got some friends who have garage fridges that were passed down from their parents that are older than 20 years old. I'm trying to remember what happened to our fridge that we had to get a new one. But I think it was like the water filter, something like the ice maker.
Yeah. Something happened that we were like, we want to get a new fridge. So we replaced it. But the fridge and freezer still work. So that became our garage fridge. Yeah. And it is. We bought it when we first got the house in 2012.
So that fridge has been running every day, nonstop fridge and freezer fully functioning for 13 plus almost 14 years. Don't even. Now you've just jinxed it.
It's the garage fridge. Yeah, but now you've blown it. I don't think I have. You jinxed it.
I really don't think I have. But it did make me start to question what is our oldest working appliance? That's pretty old. I think the stove is older.
I think they're about the same age. I think we bought them at the same time. We got the stove and the fridge when we moved in.
The house came with the stove that we immediately were like, no. Harvest yellow? It was, yeah, golden harvest.
Like the color of Dijon mustard. And I said, that thing's not staying. That's got to go.
So we got rid of that. We got the flat top stove that we have still now. And so we got the flat top and the fridge. We've had to replace the dishwasher since we live there. And we got a nice kitchen aid one now.
It works great. It washes the dishes just fine. It doesn't have that like bottom auger thing that's gross.
Yeah, it still has the food trap, but it doesn't have the, you know what I'm saying. And so that's nice. You have a couple of small appliances like our crock pot. You were talking about like we got that as a wedding gift. No, you got that.
That was one of the very first Christmas presents as a married couple that you gave me. Okay. So that thing's like 20 someone years ago.
Yeah. Here, make soup. You love soup. Make soup. Crock pot. Good Christmas gift.
Thanks. This is why I love it. I never got you the bath pillow.
This right here. I asked for the bath pillow. Not a good gift.
It is. You're angry about the crock pot. I'm not angry about the crock pot.
I was just looking at that the other day going, this is great. This crock pot is, it's still going strong. I do kind of want a new crock pot because they have the fancy ones that lock the lid in place. It's not that fancy. It's just the, they just now have a locking lid. I know, but they look so pretty too.
Yeah. Mine's fine. It's fine. But I, it's always nice to have a couple though because sometimes you want to make multiple soups.
Oh, I can't. Could you imagine so many soups? I think that is the oldest working appliance that we own is that crock pot.
I was trying to think because like our vacuum we got when it lived in the apartment. Yeah. That's, that's younger than the crock pot.
Right. I think the crock pot is our oldest thing. The roaster is newer than, than. We've even replaced the toaster a couple of times.
The toaster is not original to, to the marriage. The immersion blender is pretty old. Yeah. What about the hand mixer? Yeah, that's it.
That was a wedding gift. Both of those are, both of those are pretty old. So in the small appliance world, we've got some old stuff with the bigger appliances, the stove and the garage fridge are the oldest big appliances. We've replaced the washer and dryer. We've replaced even the water heater isn't as old as the crock pot. The crock pot is old.
But I think the hand mixer is older cause we got that as a wedding gift. Wow. We just, I don't use that very often. Hmm.
What do you know about all that? Blender's been replaced. Yeah. That new blender has been replaced. Food processor broke. It's gone.
Yeah. We haven't replaced it. We just don't have one. Hmm.
Well, how about that? Keep on, keep it on, crock pot. And hand mixer. Hand mixer and immersion blender. Look at you go.
Oh, God. The immersion blender does have that attachment where you can like chop like, like you use it for like cilantro or walnuts or whatever. And that thing has a crack in it. So we could use a new one of those.
We could. I used it the other day to shred some chicken and I went, hold tight bud. It does well. I kind of held it together.
Yeah. Don't have any chicken spills. No, never. You ever had the chicken spills? Oh, what a bad day that is. Oh, get the chicken spills.
What's the rap up the show on that note? I think that's going to do it. Hope you have a good day. Tomorrow's Friday. Oh, hooray. Yeah, finally. And we'll be back tomorrow morning.
If you want to listen to any of the show, maybe you missed a bit or you want to revisit a part, you want to share it with friends and family because it's worthy of that.
