Full show transcript:
Okay, so you know how a lot of people are upset about Bad Bunny doing the halftime show? It's Super Bowl.
So the NFL has announced another performer will headline Super Bowl branded concert that will be two days before the Super Bowl. I just saw that. You did?
Yeah. What do you think about it? I don't care for it. It's stinging.
Lame. Every breath you take. Here's the thing.
I'm in an SOS. I don't know Bad Bunny, but I am willing to watch it. I'm not upset like a lot of people are. Here's the thing about the Super Bowl halftime show. You can never win.
I don't know why anyone agrees to do it, because anytime anybody gets in there, everyone goes, worst one I've ever seen. It doesn't matter who it is. The who performed.
Everyone hated that one too. I know. So the average time is 12 to 15 minutes for the performance. Yeah. And you did so much hate. So it is 12 to 15 minutes of your life if you're watching it. It is 12 to 15 minutes of your life. You can turn it off. You can watch it. You can put it on mute. You can not watch it. You can do whatever you want for 12 to 15 minutes and then come back and watch the game if you want. And it doesn't affect your life at all.
No. It doesn't. And it doesn't matter who it is. Everyone hates it.
It doesn't matter. You can have the biggest names in the world on that stage. Everyone's going to complain about it. So I think the angle that they're trying to take here, they're saying Sting Set will be part of the broader Super Bowl Studio 60 event described as a weekend of unforgettable music entertainment at one of San Francisco's most iconic venues. So they're doing a bunch of different artists and they're being like, no, no, no.
See, there's something for everyone. And Bad Bunny just happens to be one of the things that are happening. See, there's all this other stuff too. Look away.
That's how it feels. If you want to go to the show in person, you can. Tickets for Sting Show start at... I'm going to say $300. $750 each.
That's insane. Did you say farts? Yeah. That's insane. Yeah.
Anyway, that's what's happening. Sting will be performing two days ahead of the game. I was just looking at a list of people who have performed at the halftime show. And it doesn't matter who... Unless it's Prince or Michael Jackson. But they even got complaints too.
I'm sure they did. It doesn't matter who it is. People are mad about it. Well, hey, let's start the show. Let's do it. Okay.
All right. Oh, howdy. Hello. Hi. Hi.
Hi. Did you bring oatmeal today? No, why? Well, you goofed up.
Why? Did you pack a hermit crab? No. Are you yourself a hermit? Kind of. No.
Depends on the weather. How you feel about cats? Fine.
The musical. Oh. Well, today is oatmeal day. It's also hermit day and cat day. So... Hermit... Just hermit day?
Yes. Not a hermit crab. No, it's just hermit day.
But hermit crabs are hermits. Well, right. I suppose.
I don't know. They could be social. They get out and about. I bet they're social. They just... They just got a bad reputation.
They're just hanging their shell. I like that guy. We've talked about him before who helped save the hermit crabs. I like that too.
Yeah, that's a good guy. Where he finds the ones that have used plastic caps for shells and is like, no. Yeah, or like a chunk of PVC pipe or whatever.
Get a new house for you. Yeah, whatever oceanic garbage they find in the bottom. And they're like, hey, this will be my home now.
And he puts them into the big rubber made tote with a bunch of different shell options. And I bet they put one on and they go, look at me. I bet so too. Look at me. I bet they're like, look at my fancy new house. Yeah, I can't wait to not be a hermit now. I'm not show this off.
I'm not living in a pipe. Woo. A natural cow. See. Look at me. Yeah. That's what I would say if I was a hermit. Same.
Me too. Well, anyway, I do have oatmeal here. I keep oatmeal. I have oatmeal here as well. Just in case I get hungry. Well, if you're feeling that oatmeal vibe, today's a good day to oatmeal it up.
No, I lied. That's not my oatmeal. No, that's my oatmeal. I would never eat that oatmeal. Listen to me. That's our oatmeal. Okay.
Yeah. Because what's my oatmeal is your oatmeal. That's our oatmeal. Thanks, I guess. That's right.
You don't have to ask permission. You can just have some. Yeah, but it's also not maple and brown sugar.
Yeah, because it's good. It's fruit. Not maple and brown sugar. So I probably am not going to eat it. Okay. Well, but thank you. That's nice. You're welcome. You're welcome.
Oh boy. What's up? I'm just looking at the day.
I'm looking at stuff to talk about and I, I'll talk about it next. It's an oh boy moment. Oh boy. Yeah. It's going to make you go, oh boy.
I already just did. Yeah. But you didn't even know yet. I know. Oh boy.
All right. Well, if you've got just the real desire to make your middle schooler, late elementary schooler or early high schooler, just cringe for Halloween. Here's how you do it. Parents are fighting back, they say, against six, seven by dressing up as six and seven.
It's simple. Get a shirt, iron on a six, iron on a seven. Now you're a couple's costume. You're six. I'm seven. And then you walk around and you go, six, seven.
It's gross. What if the seven gets in front of the six and then you go, seven, six. No, that doesn't work that way. I'm going to try that. Some are doing it with fabric paint.
Others are buying pre-made versions online. Puffy paint. Why not? Be dazzle it. Yeah. The goal isn't just to join in the trend of six, seven. Parents are trying to end it.
They're tired of hearing it and they said, we'll make it cool for us. And then hopefully it'll go away. It's not. Yeah. I heard yesterday one of Emery's teachers has got the same goal in mind. His goal is to annoy the students with six, seven, so much that they go, please stop. And he goes, see how that is? See? So apparently he works it in to every class multiple times per day.
Is it working? I don't know. But. Good on you, teach. Yeah.
Keep it up. Yeah. One couple posted their costume online with the caption that said, our kids hate our Halloween costume. And people loved it. Some people said, you're doing God's work out here.
And other people said, you're single-handedly ending a movement. And they look like gross. They're like in little blue jeans, little black sweater, like just your cotton sweater. Not a hoodie.
Just that with a big six on it and a big seven. And they're like, what's up? They need to get like a sweatsuit or like an 80s jogging suit. That would make it cool. Yeah. Well, the goal is to make it uncool. Right.
And that way the kids quit saying it. Here's hoping. I don't know if that's going to work, but here's hoping. It might take six or seven tries. I don't really hear it very often.
It might take six or seven tries. That's because you aren't around the youths. No, I'm not.
Hang out with the youths. I'm okay. It's awful. It's every other sentence.
Because your scouts say it a lot. Oh, yeah. Oh, yeah. How many times are you going to do that thing? Like six or seven? Six or seven?
Six or seven? It's absurd. Oh, yeah.
A bunch of lemmings, I tell you. Six or seven? Well, how many knots do you know how to tie? I don't know. Six or seven?
Six or seven? And then it's on that line. Oh, it's crazy. And then do they do the hand thing too?
Yes. And no one knows where it came from, right? The internet. Well, I know it came from the internet, but it doesn't mean anything, right?
Some dude's height. That's what it means. Yeah. I remember that now. That's all. That's where it comes from. Because I did look it up.
Yeah. It's because one guy is six foot seven. Six foot seven. What guy?
I can't remember. Some dude, he was in an interview and they were talking about him being six foot seven. You're six seven. Six seven. Stupid.
So good on these parents. Make it annoying. That sounds fine with me. That's what we all have to do. We all have to do it. We all have to pitch it. We all do our part.
We all, I'm doing my part. Let me tell you the story of Jay-Z. Jake and Rosie. Jake and Rosie. Jake Ratcliffe and Rosie Thompson. They're from Yorkshire, England. They were married recently and they said their vows, they exchanged vows. They said their I-dos at an animal sanctuary where they first met. Cute.
Yeah. So Jake founded the animal sanctuary. It's called Millington's Magical Barn. And that's what I love about animal sanctuaries. They have some of the greatest names.
Yeah. Got an acquaintance, Lindsay. Hers is, what's it called? Now it just escaped me. You're going to need to look that up real quick. I'll look it up.
Because I cannot remember what hers is called. But anyway. I turned down my volume.
That's okay. So back in 2018 is when Jake founded the animal sanctuary. And since then, he's rescued over 200 animals who needed a home. He also met Clementines.
Yes. It's called Clementines. Because their cow is named Clementines. That's right. It just came to me.
Anyway. He also met the love of his life, Rosie there, who's a veterinary nurse when she started volunteering there about five years ago. Well, the couple bonded over clean and stables and caring for these rescued animals. They chose Millington's Magical Barn as their wedding venue and they involved the animals in the ceremony.
Which of course, of course you do. It's about 60 guests on hand joining the fun and Bunny, who is a disabled sheep, who was born without the use of her back legs, rolled down the aisle in her custom wheelchair as the ring bearer. Cute. Right.
That's what I'm saying. The wedding was a very perfect fit for Rosie. She said, I'm much more of a simple girl and getting married at home in beautiful Yorkshire surrounded by our rescued animals, our friends and our family was what truly mattered. It took a village to turn our working animal sanctuary into our dream wedding venue.
But thanks to everyone who contributed, it really was a dream day. That is so cute. Yeah. I love it.
Yeah, I think that's really nice. Now I got to look up Millington's Magical Barn. Such a cool name. What was the sheep's name? Do we know the sheep's name? Yeah, Bunny. Oh, Bunny. That's right.
That's confusing. Millington's Magical Barn. They've got quite the logo. It looks like a childcare center logo. It's pretty funny, but it's animals.
They do have a picture of a sheep down here wearing a bow tie and a little cabby hat. That's pretty funny. I like that. That's pretty cool.
Anyway, you can learn more about them. You can actually even donate online if you'd like to help out what they're doing. That's kind of cool. That is cool.
Millington's Magical Barn. It's cute. Yeah. Anyway, well done. That's good news.
Good story, Joshy. There's some kind of baseball tournament happening. I don't know what it's called.
It's the World Series. Oh, that's right. Yeah. And it looks like everything is tied up two to two.
Right, two and two. It's the... Tonight is game five. Yeah, it's the Blue Jays from Toronto. And the Dodgers from Los Angeles. And I think these two teams, I don't know the last time they were there.
I don't pay a lot of attention, but both teams are kind of a blue color. So that's neat. I'll tell you what else I know.
What else do you know? We've been to Toronto. I've seen the stadium. We stood outside. We were headed into a Tim Hortons to grab some breakfast, and there were some scalpers outside trying to sell us some tickets. I don't even remember that.
I do remember that because I thought, no, I'm not buying tickets from a stranger on the street outside the stadium. I'm going to Tim Hortons, thanks. And that was that. It was the only time that we went to a Tim Hortons was the one right there by the CN Tower in the stadium. Too bad because Tim Hortons is good. Yeah, the rest of the time we spent at second cup. Yeah, that second cup was good too.
Which was better. And maybe, I don't know. I have, I, it's the way it was. Good memory, Joshua. This was 2006. I know. This is like 19 years ago. I don't remember any of that.
So well done, you. Yeah, I remember I was wearing Chuck Taylor's for the week. So it was a bad idea.
And we did a lot of walking, and my feet have never hurt more. It was a bad idea. Back to the baseball. Oh yeah, baseball. See how easy it is to go. See how easy it is to just wander away from baseball. I know there's so many people that care.
So many people love baseball. Right. Guess what?
I think baseball is very bold. I know. Okay, I'm not even going to get into that.
It's fine. What were you going to talk about the World Series? I was going to say Monday night when they had Game 3.
Uh huh. 18 innings come on. Is it always 18 innings? I don't think so.
No, it's mostly nine. Look at us know. No, I know that. I'm saying is it always 18 in the World Series? No, I think that was just an anomaly.
Okay, here's what else I know. That game lasted six hours and 39 minutes. And they recorded 609 pitches. Wow.
I don't know why. Was it just overtime? Like it just kept going into overtime? Like it just kept getting tied up?
The standard game length for a professional baseball game is nine innings. Someone's trying to let us know. I'm sure about it.
Everyone's screaming at us. 18 innings games are rare. Marathon games are uncommon. 2025 World Series featured an 18 innings game that matched the record for the longest World Series by innings. Some World Series games have gone for 14, but 18 is the extreme upper limit. The longest game in Major League Baseball history was a 26 inning tie in 1920 between the Boston Braves and the Brooklyn Robins. Those teams don't even exist anymore, do they?
No. Another game in 1984 between the White Sox and the Milwaukee Brewers lasted over eight hours going for 25 innings. Look, what are we doing? Rows. Eight hours? What's happening? I feel like nine innings last eight hours.
Do you? Well that's why they got that stretch. Got to work a stretch in here real quick. Here's a baseball. Ooh, a ball. Ooh, strike. Wow.
Ooh, maybe this one will get you to base. No. Do you like playing it? Baseball is so bad. I like playing kickball.
I know you do, but have you ever been on a softball league? Yeah. Oh, that's right, in college, but as an adult? No. Would you?
No. I did. Had a good time.
You did, I remember that. Did you have a good time? I could have had a better time. Let me tell you why I had a bad time. It was supposed to be a team building thing with employees that I worked with.
Co-workers, you might call them. And everybody was like, yeah, let's do this thing. And I was the only one that registered. They really buffaloed you, didn't they?
Yeah, so then because I was the only one that paid my money. Let's go sign up. Let's go. Well, what was really frustrating was years prior to me working there, they had all done it. Aw. They'd all done the thing. And so they were like, this is a lot of fun. We should all do this. I went and paid my money and signed up to be on a team thinking everybody was going to do a team. And I was the only one. So they were like, well, this other team has an open spot, so we'll just put you on there, Roscoe.
Yeah. So I had to play with a bunch of strangers. And it was fine, but I went to practices and I didn't know anybody.
Right. And they weren't very welcoming to you, either. No, because I was some outsider.
Yeah. But you're part of their team. I mean, they could have still been nice to you. They weren't mean to me. No, they weren't very welcoming. I didn't feel like I was part of the team ever. Like it would have been way fun with coworkers. We could have talked about it.
We would have a lot of fun. I remember that team. I didn't like them. I'm mad at them.
I have a really nice mitt. If you played on an intramural team in Pocatello in 2005. Ish. Yeah. I'm mad at you.
Okay. If you played on the team. If Josh was, if you had a stranger on your team. Yeah, it was me. And you were mean to him. It was like a plumbing company or an electrical company or something. I don't even remember who it was. Rude. We're mad at you.
I'm mad at you. They had an open spot, so I got to be on their team, which was fine. I got to play. It was cool. It was fun going to watch it. But man, was that really not the way it was supposed to be.
I'm sorry. I did have a good time. And I would, I would do some more of that. I don't mind playing. Do you mind watching? I very much mind watching.
Cause it's boring. Well, anyway, it's tied up. It's best of seven. So game five is tonight, 6pm. Game six will be happening Friday on Halloween. Oh, all of these kids that are like, Dad, can we just go trick or treat?
Nope. I got to watch my blue jays. How long is it going to last?
12 hours. I hate the Dodgers. That's the kind of thing that's happening right now. I don't care who wins as long as it's not the Dodgers. Buckle up, kid.
It's going to be a long one. Back in 1995, there was a movie with Dustin Hoffman, Renee Rousseau, Morgan Freeman, Kevin Spacey, Koopa Gooding Jr., Patrick Dempsey, quite the cast. You remember what that movie was called? No.
The movie was called Outbreak. Oh, yeah. And now let me tell you about this.
Oh, no. A truck hauling monkeys overturned in Mississippi yesterday. According to authorities, the monkeys were on their way to a testing facility in Florida after being at Tulane University. And in a statement, Tulane University said, quote, the primates are not infectious. Authorities say the driver of the truck carrying the monkeys told law enforcement the monkeys were dangerous and posed a threat to humans.
Authorities say they took appropriate actions after being given that information. Apparently, three monkeys are still loose following the crash. 15 monkeys are deceased. 13 are in custody.
What? And the Sheriff's Department is still looking for one of the monkeys that is still on the loose. I thought you said there were three on the loose.
It says there are three monkeys are still loose, but maybe they know where they are, but they're loose. And again, this is as of yesterday. 15 are deceased. 13 are in custody. One is still on the lamb.
They don't know where it is. What kind of monkeys are they? I don't know how to pronounce it. They're like a small macaw monkey. Are they aggressive? Most monkeys tend to be.
They aren't really like, let me hang out. So there's that. Anyway, this thing happened in Mississippi. Here's the deal. The primates in question belong to another entity or not infectious.
We are actively collaborating with local authorities to send a team of animal care experts to assist as needed, which is important. But here's the big deal. The big deal is, yeah, here's the headline, aggressive virus infected monkey on the loose after semi truck crash in Mississippi. Yeah, the headlines that I see, lab monkeys escaped. Yeah, yeah, there's some crazy people get real excited about these headlines.
You bet. So they were being transported to a testing facility. The animal, the one that they still don't know where is, has been exposed to, among other things, hepatitis C, COVID-19, and should not be approached. Oh my gosh. I know. This is crazy news.
This is a crazy story. What happened to the monkeys that are deceased? Did they?
Well, the truck crashed. That's what I was asking. So I imagine they didn't get like... No, I don't think they were euthanized. No, because I don't think that's the goal. The goal here is to save these animals. Yeah, we need our research monkeys.
Which is very sad, I'm kind of excited that they escaped because they're lab monkeys and that's sad. What was that? There was a movie with a chimpanzee that got rescued.
What's that movie? I don't know. I'm going to figure it out.
It's Project X is what it's called. I don't know that movie. It came out in 1987. Yep, and it has Matthew Broderick in it and he rescues a chimpanzee and it has Helen Hunt as well. Okay, I actually thought Matthew Broderick was in that movie. I've never seen it, but I could tell you what the cover looks like because I remember back in my day. You used to have to go rent movies and I remember seeing the cover of that movie. I've never seen it though.
Although I think my brother has. Fascinating, right? Yeah, sure. So Matthew Broderick is an Air Force pilot who joins a top secret mission military experiment that involves chimps. But he begins to suspect that there might be something more to this mysterious Project X. Science experiment. So he rescues the chimpanzee.
Okay, if you're living in Mississippi, please stay away from the monkeys. It's just one. They know where all of them from one are. That one's on the loose. I kind of hope that that monkey never gets caught because I kind of want him to never go back to that science lab. Is there a habitat for a monkey in Mississippi?
The farm story you just read earlier this morning. Yeah, sanctuary in England. They could take him. How's he going to get there? They're going to come rescue him. You know who's going to make this monkey's day?
A man in a yellow hat. That's who. How many other monkey stories can we tie into this thing? There was a monkey on Friends.
Yeah, there was. This one kind of looks like that kind of monkey. It's not. It's a little different, but it's a small monkey.
Okay, interesting. I hope he makes his way home. Home where? Where's home? The science lab isn't home. He needs a sanctuary.
Somebody rescue him and never take him back to that science lab. That's a movie. Baby's day out. Baby's day out?
Is that what you said? Why is his name baby? You have a Halloween costume. Yeah. And for your Halloween costume, you are going to shave your face.
This is true. I have to. Why are you upset? Because I like your face with hair on it. It grows back so fast. I know what it does. I will have no facial hair for two days, three days. All right.
That's fair. And then it'll be stubbly. And then it'll have a beard again because I'm super lazy.
And I can't be bothered to shave once a week, let alone daily. Fine. So. That sounds so mean when I say that. I'm sorry. Yeah, I don't like your actual face.
Hide it with fur. That's not what I mean. Let's think about this though.
This is an interesting thought for just a couple of minutes here. What about like before razors existed? Like everybody just went around with hair. Like that would just be a thing.
Yeah. But before razors, that would have been a lifetime ago. Forever. Many lifetimes ago.
Many moons. No, I know. What I'm saying though is like, think about that.
Like what if it never existed? Razors? Scissors, anything to cut hair. You just let it grow like it's supposed to.
Like all natural. You know? What about that? What about that? What kind of beards would we all have?
Everyone. What would my head look like if I just let the hair grow out? The sides of your hair? Everything.
Yeah. I mean the little tiny ones that grow on top. Imagine how long they'd be after a while. Let them grow. Little whispies. It'd be nice. Yeah, let's see how long they can grow. What a look.
Let it go. I could comb out those like six hairs, make them look real nice. You have, around the side of your head, you have hair. Yeah.
And you let it grow out. Like a crazy clown. Yeah. Not a crazy clown. Cute.
Cute clown. Okay. But you let that grow out once and it got real curly.
It does. The ends get curly when I let it grow out. You should let it grow out again. That was... I was doing a country morning show at the time. It felt appropriate to have my curly hair out the back.
Do it again. My beard was also long and it sat like on my shoulders. Like it was like very duck dynasty looking and I didn't care for that. I don't remember that.
I have a photo of it. I don't, I don't, I like the beard that you have right now. This is the style I like. The trimmed beard. Best. Yeah. I don't like the long beard. Do you like the clean line thing you do?
Yes. On the cheeks and sideburn thing? I go, this is how I like your face the best. I see. Looks nice.
Okay. And now you're going to shave it all away. You've got today and tomorrow to enjoy it because tomorrow night, I have to get rid of it. Right, right.
Because tomorrow night is pre-Halloween. That is correct. Oh, man. Okay.
And then here's what happens. I was going to do this last time because you shaved not too long ago and I was going We gotta do a, I don't know, like a day by day to see how long it gets back to this when you're out right now. You totally were going to track and didn't. No, I forget everything. Are you crazy? I was gonna do a lot of things.
I was gonna record ourselves sleeping. Forget. Forget? Forget.
Okay. That's why you have to write everything down and put it in my calendar because I have to have something that reminds me. Write down track beard. Forget. Time out. What am I gonna put on the calendar?
Track beard. Starting Saturday. Saturday, but you're shaping Thursday. Yeah, okay, then track it Friday.
Track beard. Forget. You're gonna need it to remind you every day. That's what I was just thinking of. I have to put a reminder every day.
Here's what happens too. Sometimes I put things in my phone to remind me and then I'm like, oh, I don't have time to do that. So then I have to move it to the next day and sometimes I've moved things in my calendar for weeks because I'm like, I don't have time to do that today.
I gotta move that to tomorrow. And then so on and so forth. Yeah.
That sounds tedious. I know. I know. But how do people remember things? Oh, I don't know. Lots of different ways. Brains.
Oh, I can't rely on that. Reminders. What time should I set this at? Oh, probably like 8 30.
In the morning. Sure. Okay. That sounds like something that would work. That might work, actually. And then I'll just have it do a repeat for a couple of weeks. Sure.
Track beard. Every day at 8 30. All right.
Good deal. This is really important research. How long does it take you to regrow to grow the beard I like? Okay.
Every day. All right. Got it locked in. Locked in. Super.
I tried to get you to go through the spooky car wash last night, but you saw it right through me. Yeah. I don't want to go in there. I like that. Normally we take your truck when we go out all together and we try to get you to go through when we're in your truck and you say, no, I don't want to bang it on my truck.
Yeah. So last night we were in my car for a change. I don't want to bang it on your car either. I don't care about that. I do go through that spooky car wash. And you said, no, I don't want to go through that spooky car wash. You finally admitted that you just didn't want to go through the spooky. Because I don't want to bang it on our cars. I didn't admit anything.
Tell you straight to your face. I don't like it when they bang on the cars. You just don't like being spooked. I think it's the real issue. What are you talking about? It was pretty funny how immediate you were to say, oh no, we're not doing that. Yeah.
Just keep on driving straight. Nope. We're good. No need. But I do need.
My car is in need of a car wash. Yeah. Well, wait till like the middle of the hottest part of the day. You did say because you're going to freeze your door.
That was a good point. You said it's too cold if we go through the car wash now at what time was it? 8 o'clock?
Yeah, 9 maybe something like that. It wasn't that late. But it was dark.
It was probably 8. Okay. And you said, yeah, it's too cold.
Your doors are going to freeze. Yeah. Maybe that's a lie. Maybe that was another way of you saying, I'm not going through the spooky car wash. No. I love the spooky car wash. It's so fun. Is it?
Yes. Well, and it wasn't all haunted and spooky last night. I know it. But I almost got you through. I'm going to get you in there one of these days. I'll just wait outside. Outside at the car wash?
I guess. Where they can actually get close to you. No, I'll wait over at the vacuums. I don't want them banging on the windows.
Your doors will freeze. Why don't you want to go through the spooky car wash? Because I don't.
It's fun. You don't like to do anything spooky. Oh, you don't like to do anything. Has this always been the case for you? Yeah, it's not my favorite. Never? It's never been my favorite.
Going through haunted houses? No. Never, never.
No. In high school, tried a couple, didn't like it. Went through a haunted forest type thing one year.
They had like a werewolfy guy hiding up in a tree and he dropped down. I didn't care for that. I didn't like standing around the fire, listening to all the little witch tales. It's not for me. It's not for me. A lot of people enjoy it. I love it.
I'm happy about it. But I'm not one of those people. So it makes me wonder if you were just traumatized when you were little, when you were younger. Yeah, I just don't like spooky things. Maybe that werewolf guy really got you.
He might have. That is spooky that the werewolf was in the tree and jumped down. And he went, ah, and he had a whole mask and thing and I was not into it. I was not okay. How old were you? I don't know.
Middle school. Would you do it when he did that? Not liked it. Did you run away? I don't know what I did.
I don't remember. I didn't care for it. I don't like it. I didn't like that I had to walk that way and then he was up there going, and then dropped down. I went, ah, I don't like that. Don't do that. And also don't bang on the truck windows. These are all things.
Simple requests. I don't like jump scares. I love that. Well, good for you. I'm so happy you get to experience that.
Well, I'm here to tell you I'm going through that car wash. Okay. With or without you. Without me. If you happen to be in the car when I'm driving, I won't be coming along for the ride. If I pulled in to the car wash, what would you do? You'd get out before I could even go through and wait by the vacuum? Yeah.
When you pull up to wait for the gate to open, I will exit the vehicle. Are you serious? Why would I go through that? Because it's five minutes. Of torture. No, it's so good. No. It's spooky. Yeah.
And then the soap comes down and wipes away the soap and then there's a scary clown in your face. You're right. That sounds really fun. It is fun.
I'm wrong. Because I'm in my car. That sounds awesome. Safe and sound in my car.
Sure thing. Doors are locked. Yeah, it can't touch me. Okay. One of these days, Josh, I'm going to get you in a haunted house.
I don't know about that. But I appreciate your willingness to continually try. Thanks for not giving up on me. I think I've only gone through one haunted house with you. Yeah.
And it was at Lagoon. No, I've gone through other stuff. Like what? I've gone through, well, Planet Doom was here.
I worked in Planet Doom for a while, which was fine. Forgot about that. Yeah. So it's all good.
I've done stuff. I just don't enjoy it all the time. That's all.
You don't enjoy it ever. Yeah. That's true.
All because of that one werewolf. Yeah. But there's so many like other better cool things. That you could be doing with your time. No, there's nothing better you could be doing with your time.
It's so much fun. Yeah. Okay, well, thanks for trying. I really appreciate you trying to get, you know, me to do spooky things. I think that's fine. I just will wait outside.
I'm okay with that. Sometimes it's a long wait, like a really long way. It's a long line because there's a lot of people who like the spooky things. Yeah. Sometimes I wish it wasn't such a long wait.
Then come inside. And then the wait is shortened, isn't it? No.
It's the same wait. I'm just not by myself. Exactly. It's scarier to be by yourself.
No. Outside waiting. Oh, because the scary things are inside. That's what they want you to think. And then sometimes the characters walk around outside and they go, Hey, that's what I'm saying. I'm still standing here.
And they go, Oh, like they get bored with me because I'm just standing there. All right. I see you. I see you creepy ring girl.
I see you. I was reading something that said, what were you born into that you hate? For example, my dad raised me as a Cowboys fan.
I've been emotionally exhausted since birth. I see. Wow.
I'm trying to think if there's anything that I was born into. I know. I was trying to think of sports things, but I didn't care about sports.
Yeah. I mean, if you had been, you would be a Broncos fan and an Avalanche fan and a Rockies fan. Really, your dad and your brother really went all in on Denver. Well, my dad was born in Colorado. That's why.
Okay. And so he's always been in Colorado. That makes sense.
But he doesn't watch anything but football. Yeah. See, we weren't a big sports house. Big music house.
Yeah. Was there a, like my mom loved Elvis. We were always listening to Elvis, but it's not, I don't hate that.
No, it's a queen and Neil Diamond in my house. This one said, this woman said, everything's giving my family does a talent show every Thanksgiving. I have no talent. But everything's giving. We have to put on a talent show.
My family is a camping family. I see. I love that.
I prefer hotels with 1000 Fred count sheets. Okay. All right. I could see that being. She said, I hate camping. I know people like that. I've worked with where I'm like, I'm so excited to go camping and they go, no. No, really?
Like, it's amazing. You get out in the wilderness. They're like, yeah, no, I could go to a hotel and have like sit down food. And I go, no, I get it, but also camping. And they're like, no, you don't get it.
I'm like, no, you don't get it. So that's something I definitely, I was born into an outdoors appreciating. But it's not something that you hate. Like this is things you were born into that your family likes, but you don't.
Yeah, I could see how that could be an issue if you didn't like this. Gentlemen said that I was born into a 5k family. We ran for fun.
There were metals matching t shirts, water stations. I hated every minute of it. I'm not a 5k family.
No, I'm glad I didn't get born into that family. I was a runner in high school and that was fun. But, and I'd like to get back into it.
I would like to have our kids have gotten into it. I'd like Emory still has a chance. She does still have a chance. There's still a chance we can get her to run cross country. They're still, you're saying there's a chance. There's still a chance. I need to show her my stuff.
Maybe she'll be like, no, I need to have some of this stuff. I wish I had my spikes. I don't know where those ever ended up. I've looked everywhere. I don't know where they went. At some point I must have gotten rid of them.
Yeah, I don't, sorry. I don't need them. I'm not going to be running like I was. If I run 5k's, I'm not running like I did in high school.
It'll be like a cage. I'm not out here running to win. Right? Like I'm running to complete it for myself at this point. I see what you're saying. Yeah, I'm not out here to be like, I'm setting records. I'm in the 15 club.
No, I'm good being in the whatever club I end up in. Hold on. I just thought of something that I was born into.
I don't love. I was born into a bowling family. Yes, you were. My, my, my married into a bowling family. Now I say family though. It was mostly just my mom and my brother who liked bowling. But your brother-in-law and your sister did leagues as well. Yeah, but they weren't like into it so much. It was just like more of a passive hobby. But I don't love bowling.
He owns his own ball and shoes. It's more than a passive hobby. If you own gear, it's more than a passive hobby.
Okay, that's fair. If you just go and rent the cardboard shoes, that's a passive hobby. I just rent the cardboard shoes. I don't care about owning my own ball.
Right. I don't care about owning my own shoes. I guess what? I don't care about bowling.
All right. Take that to the fight. You found one.
Good job. You've heard of Fat Bear Week? Yeah, yeah, that happens in Alaska when all the bears show up because of the salmon or swimming upstream.
Yes. In Texas, they just had Fat Squirrel Week. All right, what happens? It is the first annual Fat Squirrel Week.
Oh, okay. So did they notice there was a large assemblage of large squirrels? And were they there because a peanut factory broke? What was happening?
I'm not sure. I think they were just bulking up for winter. But there was a chubby squirrel named Chunk Norris.
Chunk Norris? He got second place. Who got first? Chunkasaurus Rex. Who named these guys? Chunkasaurus Rex? Yep. Next to Chunk Norris.
Yeah, Chunk Norris. Okay, here's the thing about the bears, though. The bears are tagged. And so they know like, okay, three, two, nine, right? That's a famous bear. Like they know which bears show up.
Okay. So when you are tracking squirrels, how do you know if Chunkasaurus Rex is a two-time champion? Chunkasaurus Rex. How do you know if Chunkasaurus Rex is a two-time champion? No, no, no.
He's not a two-time champion. I understand. I see what you're saying. Maybe they tagged him. Nope. How do you know? Because I'm looking at him and he's not tagged. Chunkasaurus Rex is the first ever winter winner.
They did a bracket style competition using social media likes as votes. He is from Dinosaur Valley State Park. I see that. Chunk Norris is from Fort Richardson.
Yep, I see that. There was... Stanley, who is from Cleburn State Park. And then you have from Lake Mineral Wells State Park, Nutella. Nutella. Nutella.
Nutella. Here's something. They have a hashtag. It's Texas Fat Squirrels. One of the park rangers at Dinosaur Valley State Park said, Chunkasaurus is a fan favorite. Moving surprisingly fast in the quest for acorns and camper crumbs. So these squirrels are from all over the state. Yes.
And then they put them into a bracket and then people voted online. Yes. I said that.
I'm going to tell you, no, I know. I'm just figuring out the logistics here because I'm going to tell you, Chunkasaurus Rex won because of the name. I know, but I would have voted for Chunk Norris myself. Chunkasaurus, look at him. He's a beefcake.
Wow. He's a chunk. He's kind of got a skinny tail.
Yeah, but look at his body. Yeah, but that's not, I think we have a larger squirrel at our house. Now I want to name our squirrels.
All right. They come to our house. How are you going to know if it's them again? I don't know. You got to tag them. So tag them squirrels. How?
Mmm. You got to catch them. And then you got to give them a cute little collar or something. Don't do that. I can't do that. That's inhumane. And then the authorities will be after me and they'll be like, you can't touch them. The authorities? You can't touch wildlife. That's what they'll say.
Yes. Say Chantel. You can't touch that squirrel. Now that squirrel will never go back home because you smell like human. That's not how it works.
He'll be ostracized from his nest because you smell like a human because it squirrel smells like a human. That's what they'll say. Is that what they'll say? Yes.
Okay. These are new things we're learning today and I appreciate it. Thank you for letting me know about Fat Squirrel Week. You're welcome. All right. Sometimes I don't like the things that I find on the internet and this is one of those times. Oh, and you're going to tell us all about it.
Yeah. So there is a photo here and it just says, my partner assured me that this is a snack that people eat. It is a flour tortilla with mayonnaise on it and then salt. And then rolled up. What?
Yep. Ew. It's a bad snack, bro.
It is a bad snack. Are you so desperate that that's what you have? Okay. Listen. Put something else in it. That's right.
Like, no, no, no. Let's start with the base. Butter. Tortilla, mayonnaise, salt, then what? Tomato, lettuce and bacon. You got yourself a BLT wrap. Or slices of turkey and some cheese. Right.
Or cucumber. Sure. And I don't know. Something else. Chickpeas.
A slice of deli meat, a slice of cheese. You got something. Put some black beans in it. Okay. And some corn.
Yeah. Now you got yourself a vegan taco. Now listen, I've done butter and sugar and cinnamon. Yeah. That's a churro. Yeah.
That's a treat. Maneys and salt is not the same. It's not it. It's not the same. That's not it.
But this guy says it is. So guess what we're doing for dinner? Not that.
Nope. It's my night to cook and I'm making mayo, salty mayo rolls. When is it your night to cook?
Because I feel like. I'm making salty mayo rolls next time. My next time it's my turn to cook. It is absolutely your time to cook.
Your time is now. Salty mayo rolls. I'm just not going to eat that. Oh, now you sound like our daughter. I'm not even hungry.
I'm not hungry. Well, if that's the option. Yeah. Salty mayo rolls. Just try one bite.
Nope. One bite of a salty mayo roll. I don't even like mayo and salty mayo. No, thanks. Gross.
No, I haven't eaten all my 8 sausages. I suppose custody in childless families works the same when you have cats. That's a way it would seem here in Turkey anyway.
This is what happens. So as part of a divorce settlement, a man in Turkey agreed to pay cat support. The couple have no children. and they agreed to end their marriage without any compensation or alimony from one another. However, as part of the terms, the woman got custody of the cats and he agreed to give her about $80 every month for up to 10 years.
Yeah, so $240 a quarter. This guy is given for 10 years to help cover the cat's expenses. And the ex-wife insisted on this arrangement because she felt like the cats were children to her and the man agreed saying he wanted to ensure that they were well cared for. So he said, yeah, sure, $80 a month, I'll send your way. That's nice. $240 a quarter, we'll call it good. Did they have to get lawyers involved or?
I imagined so. I think you have to file official paperwork. I think the extent and the expense of the divorce has everything to do with how many different like court orders you have to file. How many different pieces of paper? How many different things are you gonna fight about? And that's where it becomes expensive and ugly for people. And then people won't talk to each other because they can't stand one another or whatever.
And so the lawyers end up having to talk to each other on behalf and that takes time and extra money. And that's where it gets real gross. But these guys apparently able to work it out pretty amicably except for the agreement with the cats. So anyway, the cats are taken care of.
They're in good shape, which is good. So no problems there. Everything has worked out. I'm glad that they came to terms, I'm peacefully. And I'm glad that cat's getting taken care of.
The cats are all good. $80 a month? $80 a month, it's about 240 every three months. Cats aren't that expensive. Yeah, I know. I mean, there's litter, there's vet bills, there's, I don't know what it's like owning a cat in Turkey. All right, that's fair. In Turkey, I'd have bet it's not any different than America. I don't know, they might have different rules. But when you bring up the litter and the vet bills, I didn't think about that part.
All right. And they may be fancy food eaters. And catnip and snack. And toys. Toys and all right, collars.
Cat trees, flea things. I don't know. Anyway, that's what's happening with those two. Alrighty. What you doing with your head over there? I've got like, I don't know. I slept wrong or something.
I don't know. I'm all stiff. My joints are all stiff. Well, what are you gonna do about it?
I'm just gonna keep stretching my neck. Okay. Hey, you have a presentation today. And I was asking you if you were nervous at all. And you said no, why would I need to be nervous? The presentation that you're speaking of is basically, as I understand it, an assembly that I am going to speak at in front of the entire school. Yeah. And you said, how are you not nervous?
And I don't know. Should I be? Yeah. I would be. I am nervous for you. Why are you nervous for me?
Because I don't know. That's scary. Everybody looking at you. Yeah. You told me something the other day. And I said, no, you told me that we're gonna have to stand up in front of a crowd. You and I. Well, yeah. And we're gonna have to announce something.
Yeah, in front of like 6,000 people. I know. And then that worries you?
Yes. Why? Because I don't wanna fall. I don't wanna say something dumb. I don't want people looking at me. Then don't. Then what so what?
That's what somebody said. They said, what's the big deal? You talk in front of people all the time. I go, I don't talk in front of anyone but Josh.
I don't like when people are back there staring at me. For all I know, when I'm here on the radio, it's just you and me. I don't think anyone listens. So I'm always amazed that people are like, I love listening.
Cause I go, no one's listening. Yeah, they are. No. Yeah. But also no one's staring back at me, but you.
Yeah. It's when people are looking at me that I go, oh, I don't. It's only 6,000 people. I don't need to be here. And I don't know why you're scared of that. It's just people. Have you ever been nervous of anything?
Yeah. Cause you don't really get nervous much. I used to get incredibly nervous, like very, very nervous.
And then you just stopped one day? Yeah, kinda. Oh, easy. Well, so I hated being in front of crowds. It really, like I used to get like super like sick in my stomach about it. Yeah.
And then when we joined the improv troupe in Pocatello, the comedy project, and we were a part of that for a good handful of years, the time that I spent in front of an audience really made it not hard. It's just talking to people. I know, but that's my problem, it's talking. I have a problem talking. Well, then put her on the radio.
I know. So I don't get nervous about that. Like there are things I get nervous about for sure, but standing in front of people and saying something for whether it's 30 seconds or five minutes or a half hour, like doing presentations, that's the other thing. We did leadership training in front of a group of like, I know.
50 or more people for a week. Like it's not a big deal, it's just talking. But no matter how many times I do it, it doesn't ease it up for me. I still get, ugh. I don't have an issue with public speaking. I know it's like the number one fear that people have. It doesn't bother me. I don't like it at all. I don't like spiders and spook alleys, haunted car washes. Yeah, that's easy though.
I get nervous about air travel. Really? Yeah. I didn't know that about you.
I don't particularly love being on the water because I have no idea how deep it is and I don't care for that. Yeah. So those are like, those are more fear things than anything. Like I get uneasy flying. Like it's fine. I don't mind it. I love traveling, but I get uneasy being like, everything's gonna be okay. I'm in this thing that's a big chunk of metal in the sky.
Alrighty. Like you know what I mean? And I have no control over what's gonna happen. That's the other part, control, right? Like I can control what I'm gonna say. I can control my energy on the stage. I don't mind that.
My brain and mouth don't connect a lot of the time so I can't control anything that I say. And it's just people. It's just people. I know what people are mean. And people will laugh at you if you fall. Okay. They're all gonna laugh at you.
They're gonna laugh at yourself if you fall. I do. Yeah.
And then you go, Look at me. I don't know. I'm not worried about it. Okay. Well, good luck. You look great. I appreciate the confidence.
I need it. Hey, would you rather this or that? Oh, would you rather wear a costume that's way too hot or one that's way too cold?
Mmm. Am I inside or outside? You're gonna spend equal amounts of time inside and outside. Oh, so I'm gonna be just uncomfortable the whole time.
Yeah. So when you're outside, you're comfortable. When you're inside, it's too hot. If you're in the other costume, when you're outside, you're freezing. When you're inside, you're comfortable. Ooh.
I'd rather be way too hot because you can shed layers. Are you sure about that? Yeah. You can't shed layers.
Why can't I? Of your costume? Yeah. No, I would always rather be cold because it is way easier to add layers and you can only get so appropriately undressed. There are levels. And if you are hot and uncomfortable, depending on your setting, you can only get so undressed. If you are cold, pile on as many coats and blankets and things as you want.
And people will be like, you're now a blanket monster. And you go, yep, but I'm warm in here and that's good for me. Never pick the hot option. I'll always pick the hot option. No way.
And I just did. Yeah, well, that is why we have differing opinions today. I'm taking the cold so that I can be comfortable and I can also warm up. It'll be fine. But good for you. Yeah. Good for you.
I feel like it's easier to warm up than it is to cool down. Not for me. No, not for me. All right. Now.
It's would you rather. Here is a list of the best US cities for ghosts to live in. All right. Let's start at number four. Okay, this is based on considerations like the number of cemeteries, ghost tours, haunted houses, vacant housing units. Gotcha. And the search interests for ghosts.
Oh, okay. Like people were like, what are the haunted things in this city? Richmond, Virginia, Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. Hold on. Let's go back to Virginia. Sure. A lot of history there.
Okay. Because that's like early, early America settlement. So there's a lot of history in Richmond, Virginia.
Okay. Pennsylvania, what? Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. Pittsburgh, okay. New Orleans. New Orleans.
What did you ever you said? New Orleans. New Orleans. Charleston, South Carolina.
Again, Charleston's gonna have a lot of that early history. And the number one city, I wanna take a guess. Boston, Massachusetts. No, Boston's not even in the top 10.
It's in the top 20, but not the top 10. Gettysburg. No. That's gotta be a spooky place.
No, it's not on the list. Savannah, Georgia. What's going on in Savannah? I don't know, what's interesting is most of these are like Southern, the Southern states.
Yeah, Southern, the East and the South were like where America started, right? So that makes sense. Spooky. You know?
Yeah, no, I heard you. Yeah, those are some spooky places. I'll just stay over here out west. We got our own little spooky stuff, but... Ghost town. It's just ghost towns.
Yeah, that's what we got. Tumbleweeds. Wow, wow. Wow, wow. All right, let's wrap up the show.
