Full show transcript:
It is Friday, it is Josh, it is Chantel, and this is the podcast version of the morning show. Welcome. As you're looking up a story about a goat, I just want to tell everybody you can reach out to the show. You can find us on socials. We are at Classy97KLCE all over the internet. You can email the show.
That's pretty neat. Wake up Classy97 at gmail.com. That's how you get ahold of us. If you want to send us a note, you want to tell us something about the show, maybe you've got something you want us to research and talk about. We'd love to have your feedback. You can email us anytime. Wake up Classy97 at gmail.com. Tell me about the goat. I can't find the goat. Where's the goat? Isn't that the whole story?
The goat was missing? The goat was found and my computer is broken.
Earlier in the show you had a complete computer meltdown. Yeah. I needed a computer. Where was this goat missing from?
He was loose in Idaho Falls.
Okay, so this is a local store.
Yes. Hang on, here I got it. No, that's not it.
This is from just a little while ago. I got this missing goat. I've learned that the goat has been found.
The goat is found and the goat is in, I believe he's in protective custody now. Oh good.
That's good to know. All right, well here's what I have found out about this goat situation. First of all, this is not the first time that a goat has gone missing and running around in East Idaho, specifically in Idaho Falls. They have found multiple goats. As I've been researching what's up with this goat, there have been many goats. But this particular goat happened to be around Yellowstone in 17th, it looks like.
Okay. There is a picture someone posted that said, my husband just saw this goat in the middle of the road. So that's a thing. And then Idaho Falls Animal Shelter says we were not able to locate the goat. It seems that it is still on the loose.
We were told this as a baby that was sold a few days ago and is not used to being without its mom. If anybody sees this goat, let us know. We would truly like to make sure it's safe. And then Friends of Idaho Falls, we're currently trying to find a loose goat. Last seen in the neighborhoods behind the Sandwich Tree, South Boulevard area. If you've recently seen this goat, please leave a comment. I saw something where it had been found.
Yeah, no, no. This was on the 28th, when this was posted. Now update as of today, the goat has been captured. So that's that's the big goat.
Man, big day out. That's right. They're calling it speed goat. After reports of a very fast four hoofed suspect running at large all over the city, our officers were hot on the trail.
This elusive escape artist zigzagged and showed off some serious speed. But we're happy to report that he's now safe, warm and relaxing in the Idaho Falls animal shelter. There you go.
So there you go. Lightning fast moves. They say we've officially named him Lightning McQueen. And while he gave us a good chase, our amazing animal control officers were able to corral him into safety within just 20 minutes. Good job.
Way to go. As speedy and as cute as goats may be, goats are not allowed to be owned within city limits. Urban environments.
Yeah, I didn't either. I knew you could have like four chickens, but I didn't know you couldn't have a goat inside city limits. Urban environments are not safe or appropriate for goats and situations just like this can put both the animal and the public at risk risk. But apparently no one has come forward to claim the goat. And so as of February 6th, the goat will be available for adoption from the Idaho Falls animal shelter. I would assume that it will probably get claimed, but then somebody's going to have to fess up to losing the goat.
Well, goats are escape artists and this one was fast and he just wanted a day out.
So yeah, goats day out. That's what I said. Yeah. Apparently there is an owner and the owner is looking for the goat. The owner is aware and the owner lives in city limits.
So cannot pick them up because the goat cannot be owned within city limits. That's what they're saying in the comments. So we'll see what happens. But as of February 6th, look, hey, we're on the city line. We could put the goat across the city line in land we don't own.
I actually don't want a goat. Good answer.
Good answer. I like that answer. How about today's show? Do you like it? Let's do it. Well, I'm super happy that it's a Friday. I'm ready for a weekend.
Oh, yeah. Yeah. I mean, we got a show to do it. But you know, then I'm ready for a weekend. And it sounds like we've got a pretty busy one.
Oh, I got some honeydews for you. No, I don't want that. Oh, too bad. What? Get over yourself.
It's like this much relaxing I was looking forward to.
But apparently none. No. Whoa. Get stuff to do.
This is a terrible way to start off a Friday morning, knowing that I've got a list of things that you need me to accomplish. Yeah.
Things that should have been accomplished a long time ago. What? This is on you. No. If you had done this sooner, you wouldn't have to waste this weekend doing it.
If you had done it sooner, then I wouldn't have it on your list. What do I have to do? Not that I was just being... I bet not. I mean, there's a couple of things. Yeah. Yeah. Uh-huh. Piles in the living room.
Yeah. We've got a donation run that we need to make. There's some cardboard we need to get out of the... We don't need to, but I'd like to. Uh-huh. All of this involves trucks.
Get to driving it. Fine. I will.
Tough guy? That's the same thing, right? What's the same thing? As you're saying. I got this whole list of things for you to do. And then me going, uh, and then I go, all right, tough guy. And you go, uh, tough guy. Same feeling.
It's fine. I'll get it done. Okay. Don't you worry about it. I'll take care of everything.
Oh, okay. Today is have fun at work day, and we're going to have fun. Are we? That's right. What are we going to do to have fun? The usual fun having. Cool. Do you not have fun every day?
Yeah, but I bring the fun.
Wow. All right. That's two stabs. Tough guy. Two to one. Two to one stabs.
You're saying the tough guy that you said was a stab?
I guess. I'm not feeling that it was a stab, though. No. All right. So it's two to zero. Two stabs. Zero stabs. It is also national escape day, so now I feel like I need to. Go on. Get. Escope. Go on. Get. Wow. All right.
Good morning. I'm, I'm raring to go.
You're in rare form. I tell you that. I know this about you to be true. You are in rare form this morning. Well, we are here in the studio. So happy Friday. And let's have some fun. Okay.
How about what should we do? You come up with an idea.
I have fun every day doing whatever you come up with. So let's have some fun.
I've got some winter hacks for you. Car winter hacks.
Car winter hacks.
Yeah. And then some non-hacks. Okay. Some try it and avoid it. Let's go. All right. Have you ever heard of using hand sanitizer to unfreeze door locks? No. Try it. Why? Because hand sanitizer can help thaw frozen locks due to the alcohol content, which melts ice.
Okay. But how do you get it in there? Q-tip. No.
Why? Why won't a Q-tip work?
The key slot thing is so small.
Yeah. Q-tip. It's not gonna fit.
Yeah, it will. No. Try Q-tip. Negative. Q-tip will work. Pouring boiling water on a frozen windshield? Terrible. Don't try it. Yeah. Don't do that. Avoid. Avoid, avoid. Do not do that. My computer just died.
Oh, really? Yeah, really. Right in the middle of your whole thing? Yes. Let's make up some more.
Okay. Well, the other one I read. Is it gonna come back? I have no idea. It went black? It went black. And now it says the application was. Whoa.
I don't know what that means.
I don't either. Okay. The other one I read was putting socks over your rear view mirrors, your side mirrors. To keep frost from them? To keep those from being frosted.
You're gonna have some big socks. Yeah, you do. I mean, I know socks have some elasticity, but mirrors can be quite big. Can they? There's some trucks I've seen. You're not putting socks on that.
Some of the trucks, you'd have to have a big sock. That's what I said. Yeah, I said for sure.
For sure? I said for sure. Did you know that your car and my truck have defrosting mirrors, so we don't have to worry about that?
No, I did not know that. Do you have to turn them on separately?
So yours, you have to push the little mirror adjuster. You push it down. I did not know that. To turn on the defroster. Mine, when you turn on the defrost for the back window, it does it automatically on the windows. I didn't know that.
I've not been doing that. I've had that car for a long time.
Yeah, just push that down. So why does it have the little defrost logo next to it? Didn't see it. Haven't noticed.
I bet there's all kinds of stuff my car does that I don't know about. Possible. Okay, I came back. Oh, good. Oh, we were talking about pouring boiling water on your... Yeah, do not do that. Don't do that. It'll shatter your windshield. Yeah, do not do that. Rubbing potatoes on your windshield to avoid frost?
Avoid it. That sounds like it would never work.
The starch might delay the ice, but it leaves a sticky film that's worse to clean than just ice. Yeah. Don't do that. And then filling a cat with sock...
Filling a cat with socks.
Filling a sock with cat litter to stop foggy windows. Is that a thing? Try it.
No, why? I don't like the smell of cat litter.
Cat litter draws moisture from the air, which is why they use it in schools and different places to clean up puke.
They do. I thought they made a special stuff, not cat litter. I thought they had stuff that had like sawdust in it and stuff.
People use cat litter sometimes. Gross. Helps. Anyway, cat litter draws moisture, which can keep your windows fog-free from the inside. Wow. That's actually a nice tip, and I might try that one. So, why yourself? I think I have
a little bit of a cat litter type substance in the shed. Why?
Why? I think I do. Why? Why do you have that? For cleaning up spills. No, but for real. Yeah. For real. Where'd you get it from? Uh, we've had it for years. We haven't ever had a cat. No, I know.
It's for cleaning up spills. You just got it because?
When we used to park in the garage, that's how long ago it's been. Because if there was an oil leak, you got to clean up spills.
It's been a long time since we've been able to park in the garage.
It's not ever going to happen now. No. I've turned the garage into a gear loft.
We have too much stuff, and we have a one-car garage. Right. We're never parking in the garage again.
But that would solve all of your winter car scraping problems.
It sure would, wouldn't it? Oh, man.
I can't fit this truck in the garage. I couldn't fit the little one in the garage. So there's no way this one's getting in there. My car could fit twice. Probably. It's so little. You could pull one all the way to the back and another one in the front. You are correct. Can't. We have too much stuff. But you don't have two of them anyway. So.
Now I'm going to have to cover my mirrors and socks.
I guess. Or just hit that defrost button.
Rub the windshield with a potato. Don't do that. I'm not going to do that. But listen, you were up before me this morning. And so I thought maybe you would get the car started because I've been doing that.
We left the house at the same time, even though I got up. I still had other stuff to do. I know.
It wasn't like I got up and then I was just sitting there. Yeah. But I've been the one starting the cars and then you were awake before me. And I was like, he's going to start the cars. Nope.
If you want to sit down for another 15 minutes, but we were ready to go. So we left. I had the keys in my pocket. I was headed that direction, you know, I know. Ruin my whole day. Your whole day.
Yeah. I had to go into a cold car.
Oh no. Not a cold car. Are you okay?
I'll be fine. All right. Try it out.
Try what? Try it. Try it.
So negative 25 degree wind chills and snowed in roads hit Ohio. And that's a dangerous winter storm.
Yes, it is. You might say. Yes. There was a baby boy named Bryson who needed an emergency transfer to Cincinnati Children's Hospital for critical care. And with time running out and the road conditions at their worst, the hospital team made a life-saving call to the Ohio Department of Transportation for a special escort. And Joe Estes, who is a snowplow driver, answered the call and he led the ambulances through the deep snow at a steady 30 miles per hour to make sure that everyone arrived safely.
Joe was a father of two. He stepped up for the critical mission. He said, look, it was probably the most important task of my Ohio Department of Transportation career. And it wasn't just pushing snow. The drive took twice as long as usual, but Joe successfully cleared the way, allowing the medical team to keep Bryson safe and warm throughout the journey. And once they arrived at the Cincinnati Children's Hospital, that is when all the emotion finally hit.
Joe humbly claimed he was just a truck driver doing his job. And thankfully, both Bryson and his parents are doing well today, thanks to the cooperation between the medical staff and our good friend here, Joe. So yeah, isn't that great? That's great.
Making it happen, Joe. Joe, you're the best. That's why it's good news.
I just read something. People are saying that Josh is the male version of Karen. They are very wrong. Oh, are they?
Yeah. And I'm going to tell them why. Straight to their face. Of course you are. Who says Josh is male Karen?
The Internet is saying that.
Because a male Karen is a Kevin, a Ken, a Terry or a David. That's already been determined.
That's not what I'm getting, Josh.
That's not what I'm getting. Well, that's what it is.
Josh, anybody who's a Josh is the bane of any woman he's dated. Wow. He's the man who insists on just being honest while really being cruel. If there's ever an argument, he will threaten to pull up a study to prove his point. If he doesn't already have a podcast, he's thinking about starting one.
Are you just reading my bio?
Somebody said, we're leaving all Josh's in 2025. Goodbye, Josh. Wow. And then somebody said, anyone taking part in No Josh January?
Rude. A lot of people are saying.
Who's a lot of people? Jen Ziers love making fun of millennials. Josh is a very popular name for millennials. From 1981 to 1996, so that's the span of what? 15 years? Yeah. An estimated 725,000 Josh's were born in the United States. It's a very common name. I can sit here and think of 15 Josh's, I know.
You can think of 15 Josh's? Yeah. I'm a Josh and I can't think of 15 Josh's.
Dude, I know so many Josh's. There's so many. At one point, Emory had two friends. Both of their dads were named Josh's.
They were named Josh's or just Josh's?
It was crazy. It was all three of her friends. Their dads had the name Josh.
I think that's rude. Why is that rude? Because I think Karen is gender neutral and it could apply to anybody. I think this article was written by Karen who wants to get the pressure off of me for a minute and I'm going to pick one of the most popular names that were used for 15 years. And that's going to make people cool their jets on calling me Karen for a minute.
That's what I think. Listen, one Josh said that he's laughing about it now like a silly, but he hopes it doesn't stick because he knows how it can affect your self-confidence because his mom's name is Karen.
He's got a problem. It is kind of sad if your name is like, I don't think we realize the damage we've done to all these people named Karen. And that's sad. That is very sad.
I'm leaving all Josh's in 2025. Did you see it? Are you seeing it? Oh, I'm reading the whole article in The Times. Yeah, yeah. I'm sorry. Famous Josh's, Josh Brolin. Josh Jackson. Yeah. Josh DeMau. Josh Allen. Josh Allen. Josh Tyler.
Is he on the list? No.
I'm just trying to think of other Josh's I know.
You're only thinking of famous ones?
I don't know that many in person. Are you kidding?
How many Josh's did you go to high school with? Like one. No way. You're not thinking properly. I am. There's so many Josh's.
I know one guy named Josh. Well, I know two guys, their first and last name are the same. They're both named Josh. They both have the same last name. Josh. I met them in completely different times of my life. One in high school, one years later in a professional career. That's hilarious. That's weird. Okay. And then I know that Josh. So that's three Josh's I know.
I can sit down and write 15. That's what you can't. Yeah, I can.
You don't know 15 Josh's. I do.
Dude, that's such a common name. It's a common name. You were named what?
Joshua. What do you mean? It was I named.
I mean, what were you named from? A soap opera character? Right. What a Josh thing to do.
Wow. Stop trying to make it a thing.
I didn't make it a thing.
The internet is trying to make it a thing. No, I'm telling you. This article was written by a Josh, by the way. Josh Lowe at the times wrote this. Joshua Lowe needs to get his ducks in a row. What are you doing, man?
What are you doing? Why are you throwing yourself under the bus, dude? I hope it doesn't take off, Josh, because I don't want this to affect your self-esteem.
Yeah, I don't like that this guy is like, his own self-deprecation is translating to all Josh's. You can be angry at yourself without bringing us all into it.
Yeah, what a real Josh thing to do. Remember, we have a friend named Dave, and remember there was those commercials that were like, what a real Dave thing to do with Dave. I remember that. Yeah. And we would tease him about that, and he didn't like it. He was like, that hurts my feelings. People don't like being made fun of. No.
So quit doing it. I'm not. I didn't write that. Okay.
So you've grounded me from fantasy football for the next season. I can't play. Yep. That's what you said. Yes. Because I'm no fun to be around when I'm playing. Is that my speaking truth here? Uh, well, you'd be happy to know that I was just going through apps on my phone, and I realized that I had the fantasy app on here, and I'm not going to need it until at least, you know, closer to draft time. No, you're not going to need it at all. Next year. So I uninstalled it. Good job. And then I got to thinking, how often do you uninstall apps you don't use?
Never. Yeah. Well, that's not true. I just deleted, we played a game over Christmas, and I needed a chess timer. Oh, yeah, right. So I installed a chess timer app. I just deleted that. So a month after we needed it for Christmas, I deleted that.
I mean, I've got a bunch of apps on here that I use sometimes, but then there's stuff that's like, I have on here, but I don't know like why.
Yeah. Same. Like, you know, like I look at it and I go like, yeah, all right. Like that's, I can have a guitar tuner app. I open it three times a year.
Do I need to have it sitting on my phone, or should I just uninstall it and then add it back when I actually need it? Like I, you know?
Yeah, no, I know what you're saying.
I'm like carrying around this app.
Well, I'm looking at a bunch of mine and I'm like, I don't even know what that app is. What is that app? I couldn't tell you what that one is.
There's the one I was looking for that started me down this entire thing.
Oh, that's my meditation app that I don't, I kind of forgot that I was doing. Yeah. I was doing meditation every day and then I stopped, forgot about it. What are you doing now? Are you cleaning up all your apps? Yeah. Oh, fun.
That's what I've been doing. Just looking at my phone going, why am I carrying around? It's like when you open up your wallet and you go like, why do I have all these like $2 gift cards? Yeah. That's how I feel about these apps. I feel the same way. I feel like why am I carrying around all this stuff?
Baggage. You got so much baggage.
You done install a bunch of these, that's all.
Well, and here's the problem that I have that I'm looking now. Every website, every time you order something online or something, it's like, or every grocery store, it's like, hey, get our app, save you some money. You'll get a coupon. So I have like all of these different restaurants and grocery stores because I'm like, well, I got 20% off that one time I downloaded the app. Right.
I agree with you. I'm looking at like some of these that I have for rewards that I'm like, I eat there like three times a year. Do I need your app? I know. I don't need your app.
No. Like, you know, this one right here, I know I need this one. That's a good one. Like this one, I keep that one around because I do lots of rewards.
That's the Buffalo Wild Wings. That's right. Yeah, you got to keep that one around. You need that one.
You can't have Blazent status without having their app. And I like it. I like ordering stuff and earning rewards. Pretty good about that. Add that one place. But why do I have this one? Couldn't tell you. Like I don't eat there that often. Not often enough to have their app.
I have that one just because I order, I have to order lunch at different times for my other job. I see. I order from there a lot. It's a sandwich place. Yeah. Rhymes with.
Okay, it's fine. But I like how I'm logged in as your account. And so it says, hungry Chantel?
Yeah, I am. Thanks for asking. Well, it knows that. Let's order something. Do we have any rewards? I don't know. I think so. Because I order from there quite a bit. If you're logged into my account.
No points yet. None.
That's not the right login information then because I have points. Not on here, you don't. That's what I just said. You're logged in under a different name.
I think I'm logged in under a phone number because that's usually what you type in when you go in. It's not my phone number. Okay, whose number is it? Couldn't tell you. Okay, stranger phone number. What's the deal with that though too? Like you can't just order something anymore.
You absolutely have to have an account to do anything. Sometimes you can't even view a menu if you go to a website and they're like, I just want to see the menu. Right. Oh, well, again, I need your address first. Get out of here. Just let me look at what your food is. Right.
Yeah, as soon as we have that account info, we'll go ahead and show you our menu. It's like if you had to walk into the restaurant and sign in before you even got to look at a menu, like, oh, you're going to need to log in. That's the future.
That's what's coming next. That's going to happen. Yeah. They want all our data. Gross. You can't have my data.
Restaurants are going to lose business if they start making you log in to get a seat. How big is your party? 14 people. Great. Everybody's going to need to log in on this tablet.
Oh. Yeah.
You know how when you go to the doctor and they put your finger in that little thing and then they put that cuff around your shoulder and then they check your temperature and then they go, oh.
They call that taking your vitals.
Yeah. Yeah. And the doctor says or the nurse or whoever it is says, oh, your blood pressure is 120 over 18. And you go, hmm. Okay.
The thing they put on your finger is called an oximeter. It's a pulse oximeter.
I just couldn't think of the name. And it takes your pulse and also checks your blood oxygen level. Yes. It's pretty amazing. It can do that with just sitting on your finger like that. Pretty cool.
It is pretty cool. And then they put the blood pressure cuff. Yeah.
On your arm and then they read a number back to you. Yes. Two numbers. And you're saying that when they say you're 120 over 80, you go, huh?
No. Every time I go, I don't know what that's supposed to mean. And then later I'll look it up and I'll be like, was that normal? Because I can't remember what normal
is supposed to be. 120 over 80 is normal. Okay. Or a good place to be. Okay. If your numbers are higher or lower than that, that means things.
I know. And mine are always higher than that, which is why I'm on a blood pressure medication. It's hereditary. Things mom and dad for high blood pressure.
But also that stress.
Yeah. Yeah. But it's funny to me when they go, they just read it off and I go, okay, don't know what that means.
Thank you for that piece of information.
Every time. Yeah. I said somebody who said something like, am I supposed to high five you now or am I dying?
That's right. Yeah, it makes no sense. Tell me if that's good or bad. Just say good blood pressure or bad blood pressure. Oh, your blood pressure looks good.
That's all you have to say.
I don't care about the numbers. All blood pressure is a little high today. What? I don't care. So instead, because they don't want people to freak out and they know that you don't know. So they go, yeah, it's a 160 over 40 and you go, what? Are they? Am I winning?
Yeah.
Yeah, 160 over 120 and you go, huh? Because. And they go, yeah, you're not good right now.
Before I was on medication, I would go and they would tell me my score. Yeah. My score.
Where do I put my initials? That's what you should have said. Next time they do it and you go, where do I log in? Because I'd like to make sure that my score is accurately counted for when other people come in and can't beat it.
Yeah, win the day. I win the blood pressure. Yeah. High score today. They would always say, 160 over 90. And I'd go, yep. And then they'd say, is it always a little bit high? And I go, oh, that's a bad one today. Well. Yep. Yep. It's always high. Who's keeping track? You're supposed to keep track. I keep track in an app.
I have an app for my blood pressure and then I take my blood pressure and it keeps track.
Every time I go to the doctor, they take vitals, write it down somewhere. They do. Check the records. They do. I know they do. Don't ask me if it's always high. I don't check unless I come here. Is it always high? I look at the last time I visited. Was a high then? Yeah. Just fix it.
I like the high five option though. They go, all right, blood pressure. It's a 150 over 96 and you go high five. And they go, no, no.
You should put your arm down actually.
Maybe lay down.
Let's make you more comfortable. Let me turn off the lights. Let me go get a thing so you can lay on the floor safely. So you don't fall down.
I forgot to take my blood pressure medication. Oh, here we go. The last couple of days.
Multiple days. What is happening? How did you forget?
I'm supposed to take him. Well, I take him in the morning. And it's part of my morning routine. But you forgot. But we've been running a little bit late in the morning. I see. And so then I just rush out the door.
It's important you don't forget that.
I know it. But I like to have in the high score.
No, I don't like you having the high score. I would like you to have low score wins.
I'm back on it now. I'm back in the game.
Good deal. Let's stay on the game. OK. All right.
How late is too late for you to go to a party? Like if you get an invitation to go to a birthday party or any other kind of party and it starts at 8 p.m., are you going?
If it's all icy. So you're saying if it has a late start time, will I go? 8 o'clock's fine.
What about 8.30? Yeah. What about 9?
Who's having a birthday party at 9? A maniac. I could see an 8 o'clock being like a hey, you know, we've got no other time available this weekend or whatever. And we're doing like an hour long, two hour long get together. There's got to be a reason. Like we're going cosmic bowling or there's some sort of like it happens at night activity.
At 8, you're saying 8.
Or later. It would have to be because there's some sort of reason. If it was just like that's the time we picked, I'd be like pick a different time.
I think depending on the season, like in winter, anything starts after 7.30, I'm not going. We're not going. Yeah, it's dark and cold.
No. 7.30 is my... That's when the night's just getting heated up. 7.30 is my cutoff time in the winter. In the summer, yes, I'll go out a little bit later.
But I feel like 8 would be my cutoff time for the summer activities.
If somebody said let's go do a thing at 8. I'd be like what?
8. It's 8. Yeah.
And 8 o'clock on like a Friday, Saturday. Not on a school night.
All right, I would say yeah, I'd go out at 8. I just said that. What if they said 8.30 though?
Fine. Let's go have a time. I'm good with it.
I don't know about 8.30.
Because you're reading the end of the book before you've opened the first chapter. That's why you're looking at it going at 8.30. If we're going to be there for at least a couple hours, that means I'm not going to get home until 10.30, 11. And then I'm not going to be in bed until mid... See, you're reading the end of the book before you've opened the first chapter. You got to just live in the moment and go, hey, it's 8.30. We're going out. We don't know what time we'll be back.
Who even am I at that point? Not you. No, well, that was me. That was old me. Young you. Yeah, young me was like let's do this. I used to stay awake all night sometimes. Right. If my friend and I, we'd make out of your nrings at three in the morning. Yeah, what's going on?
Where's 3 a.m. onion rings? When were you making onion rings at three in the morning, way before I met you? Oh, yeah. What kind of onion rings were these? Just regular ones.
From scratch? Yes.
You're making batter at three in the morning and slice an onion to fry up? Yes. I've never seen you make onion rings in my entire life.
It's because I needed to do it once and that was it.
You're not even buying frozen ones and throwing them in the air fryer at 3 a.m. 3 a.m. onion rings sounds like a good time.
It was a good time except we got very, very sick.
Because you ate too many of them?
Listen, we used to pull all nighters all the time, but this particular night, we were wild on crisis. We were watching Mystery Science Theater 3000. Great. And then we were like, she on a whim was like, do you want to make some onion rings?
And I was like, yep. But you didn't have the supplies.
So we had to go to the store. Get the supplies.
We had to go to the 24-hour grocery store.
Onion rings at 3 a.m. is not such a good idea.
Because then you had to heat up oil in a pan. Yeah. Let's see, it's not a responsible 3 a.m. act.
It was also just kind of gross. It doesn't sit well on your tummy.
I mean, grab some frozen ones and throw them on a cookie sheet and put them in the oven.
We didn't want to. Would have been better. Real ones. If you haven't slept in hours and hours and hours and it's 3 in the morning, onion rings on your tummy. What were you dipping them in? Don't remember. Don't remember. Probably gross ketchup.
Probably what got you was the gross ketchup. Probably what got us. It's not the onion ring, it's the gross ketchup.
So I used to be an up all nighter kind of person.
Have you tried it lately?
No time mattered. When have you tried it lately? There's no brain. What do you have going on tonight? I can't. There's no way. Don't read the end of the book yet. Live in the moment.
I don't want to though. That's the thing.
Why would I want to stay up all night? You don't want to hang out? Just see if we can. No. How long do you think you could?
I think I... We were watching a show last night and I was like...
I know. That's because you were doing a lazy activity. You weren't making onion rings. We got to fill it full of energy activity.
At some point my body's going to say, girl...
Don't... It's your mind. You got to tell your... Hey, hey, open your eyes. Come on now. Don't dismiss it so easily.
I don't... I also just don't want to, Josh.
What is a 45 year old overnight all nighter look like? Not 45 yet. Okay, I'm just saying. Early to mid 40s here. What is an all nighter that's going to keep you awake look like? It can't be movies. No, it can't. Could it be... Could you do a video game? Possibly. Because something that's... It's got to keep your mind occupied.
It's got to keep my mind busy. Yeah. A video game or some kind of craft activity. Like a sewing or a painting process. Project. But I also don't want to.
Okay, but what about, listen to this, listen to this. I know you've been trying to do some art and you've been trying to find some inspiration. What if your inspiration is the moment you are like at the tired wall, that's when you start. That's in my creativity peaks. I'm saying, no, I'm saying force art when you are like, I am gonna like fall asleep standing up. That's when you go, I gotta grab a paintbrush and just see what happens. Because you're not gonna have the inhibitors that you normally do. You're just gonna be like, I just gotta put some art down so I can go to bed.
And my brain's not thinking clearly.
You see what I'm saying? I do. That might just push you into this whole new realm.
Yeah, it's a creative space realm. Yeah. Yeah.
Where you're like half awake, half asleep, but you're like painting. And you're like, I guess that looks good. And then the next morning or early afternoon when you wake up after doing an all nighter of art and you look at it and you're like, whoa, I made art.
Or I look at it and go, ooh, let's just not talk about that.
Throw that at me. It could be amazing though. If you don't overthink, you gotta be so tired that you can't get in your head about it. I think you might find something there. I don't want to though. Tonight's the night. No. You're already tired. It's gonna be great.
I know, I'm all right. You're gonna enter that space so easily. What's gonna keep you awake all night? Watching you do this. No, cause you'll fall asleep watching me do that. You'll fall asleep. So? This is about you.
No, I guess I'm not doing it. And here's what, I'm just gonna wait for you to fall asleep and then I'll be like, oh, finally. Now I can also go to bed.
I'm like, no you can't.
I'll wake up. You will not. No you can't. Keep painting.
Just cover you up with a blanket, turn off the lights and sneak up to bed.
Yeah, you get back down here and paint. You come back.
Your sister sent me this story because she knows that I am into metal detecting.
Even though you haven't technically started metal detecting, you just have a curiosity about it.
So this happened in Blackfoot. There was a 10 year old boy named David and he was in the backyard and he unearthed a time capsule with cash and a note inside a Wrigley Spearman chewing gum tin.
Okay, I thought it was a lifesaver tin, no? I was trying to see in the video in the photos.
This article said Wrigley Spearman chewing gum tin. This was buried in 2013 and according to the note, the boy was upset with his parents and took money from them. And the note said he wanted to make somebody else happy. And I think it was $80?
Yeah, $81 or $82, yeah.
Which is interesting, because if you're mad at your parents and you steal money, why would you bury it? I would go use it. But that's just me.
Yeah, $81. Then he'd be like, he didn't have something. Cause this was a kid. So that's why he buried it. He doesn't have a ride to the store.
That's true. Yeah, it was $81. so David, this little boy, this 10 year old boy in Blackfoot came upon the note and the time capsule. And he was like, I think this is pretty cool.
And this was just in his own backyard? Yeah. So is he new to the area? And why was he digging holes in the backyard in January? I have other questions.
I'm unsure. I don't know that information. All right.
I'm trying to gather some things. I'm looking at the video here. Oh yeah. Yeah, he's pulled up as $81. Yeah. And he's got his little tin and he's reading the note. Okay. Yeah. All right. And the note I'm looking at, definitely a kid's handwriting.
Oh, sorry. David is the boy who buried the treasure.
I see that. Buried it in 2013. Yeah, that's my mistake. To whoever finds this, I stole this from my parents and buy something that will make you happy.
Yeah, it'll make you have joy.
Interesting. So Creed is the boy that found it. And he just, he said he wanted to go find buried treasure one day. So he went into their yard to look for it. Oh, he just was... And yeah, he was just trying to find some treasure. Well, he found treasure. He was excited when he found the capsule. He ran back into the house with his buried treasure to tell his dad all about it. And they're like, this is awesome. And now they're trying to find David, the original boy, who buried it.
In 2013. Yes. So that was 13 years ago when he was 10. That David is 23 now. Yeah. Gotcha.
And so they contacted it. It looks like they contacted the previous homeowner to see if they knew anything about who owned the house or if they could find him. But this isn't the first time that Creed has found buried treasure. He also found an old sewing machine in a cave while visiting his grandmother's house.
You need to hang out with Creed. I know.
Creed knows where to go find treasure. I know.
Where did he look on one day? I don't know. And what is there an old sewing machine in a cave?
Why is Creed going in a cave?
Why wouldn't you go in a cave? I'd go in a cave.
Why is there a sewing machine in a cave? Exactly. To fix pants. I know. That's probably why. Cause caves rip up your pants. There's sharp in there.
But you have to have electricity for a sewing machine unless it's an old foot pedal powered one.
Yeah.
Anyway, that's awesome. And good job, Creed, for finding buried treasure.
I wanna find buried treasure. We gotta get you a metal detector. So you can go.
I won't be able to find, oh, I guess, at the metal tin, I'd be able to find that. Yup. Dude, think of all the cool stuff we could find.
We could find some more stuff. This is a U-Hobby.
You don't wanna dig for treasure with me?
I will, you know what? What? You can do your little boobs and swoops with your metal detector while I'm fishing.
I gotta find out the rules. Cause I don't think you can just dig holes anywhere.
Can you metal detect anywhere you want?
I don't know. I mean, look, private land. You have to have permission on private land. Here's the thing. If you just said this is a me hobby, so don't be coming to me when I find all this cool treasure and you're like, hey, I want some of that. Don't even. Don't even. Okay. All right. Take it easy. You take it easy.
Generally, you can metal detect in state parks, but the rule is the state park has specific regulations that you must follow. Some parks allow metal detecting on public property. Others may require a special permit or have restrictions in place to protect the area. So yeah, you probably can't just go dig in holes.
Yeah, no, I know that already.
But it says state parks are off and off limits. Private property, you'll need permission. Yeah. No in national parks. Depends on the city when it comes to city and local parks.
You have to look that up. Generally, it's okay on ocean beaches so long as it's not part of a state park and that may vary state to state. But you can just wander around. But you can't, okay. Like, you know, you could probably ask businesses, hey, you mind if I metal detect in your, you know, grass area behind your business?
I'm not doing that. Why? I'm not doing that.
Oh, it'll be awkward the first couple of times. No. But when you walk in with your vest and your shorts and your cool gear, they'll be like, no, she's serious. Ha ha ha ha ha. You know, sand volleyball pits.
I know that's where I really wanna go. I know this is where you got hooked on it.
Oh, it is absolutely where I got hooked on it. Yeah. In my old apartment, I had a, there was a volleyball court. Right. And I lost a Black Hills Gold ring. I know. And my dad had a metal detector. Right.
So it's genetic. Got it.
Yesterday was the premiere of season four of Bridgerton. Okay. As a Bridgerton fan, I put this in my phone to remind myself.
Yes. And then. Last night you said, is it Bridgerton Day? Yeah.
I totally forgot about it. I put it in my phone on my calendar and everything. And then I was watching something on social media and I went, it's the season premiere of Bridgerton. How did I forget? So I had to watch that.
I don't. Ha ha ha. Is it coming out weekly or do they drop the whole season?
No, they release like four episodes. This is part one. And then they'll release part two.
Is this on Netflix? Yeah. Yeah, that's what they've been doing. I don't think I like this.
I don't know if I like it either, but I also don't like waiting for weekly episodes.
No, I know. That's worse. Yeah.
Because we started the pit and we were behind. So we hurried and binged season one of the pit and now we have to wait weekly for the episodes. And I go, I can't do this because I've forgotten.
Well, that's why they do it previously on the pit.
I understand, but I'm still lost. I go, wait, what happened to this person? I can't. I can't do this wait a week thing. Yeah.
What year is it? I don't know. 2006.
Listen. Bridgerton is kind of my guilty pleasure where I know it's not like, it's not like amazing. I love it because I think it's beautiful. I like the scenery and the costumes
and all of that. I know you really like the music. You've talked about that because they take popular songs and they kind of romanticize them instrumentally.
Yep, I do like that. Yeah, and you like that a lot. And I really, there's a lot of characters that I actually do love. Like I love the mom. Okay. And I love Jonathan Bailey. He is not, I just had to ask because I have just seen episode one. He wasn't in it.
And so you looked up, is Jonathan Bailey in the new season?
He's coming for the second part of the season.
Okay, you'll be fine. It's okay. You wanna know why he isn't in the first part? He was busy.
I know he was busy with the wicked. He was busy. I know. Oh.
He had places to be.
I hope he never forgets about.
He was hanging out in the Emerald City as they call it.
It was supposed to be one short day.
Well, it was longer than that.
Anyway, he's coming back. February 26th is when they're releasing the second half of...
Oh, so the good news is how many episodes they release?
Four, I said. Four.
You better watch one a week.
No, I'm not gonna do that. I'm gonna watch them all this weekend.
No, you have to do's. There's no downtime. There's no watching Bridgerton this weekend.
Oh, do I?
Yeah, I've got a list for you. Things you could have gotten done sooner. This, for anyone who's listening now, is a conversation that happened first thing this morning at six o'clock when I was really looking forward to having a weekend and you said, well, good for you, but I got a list of stuff for you to do. So.
You know that I don't really have a list.
No, you always have a list.
I don't. I never, even if I do, I never give it to you. You have a spreadsheet? Well, yeah. Yeah. But I never give it to you. I never am like, here's the honeydew list, do it. I don't do that. You know that.
No, you'll just start doing a project and then go, hey, it'd be nice to have some help on this. That's how it'll go.
Sometimes I don't even do that. Sometimes I just start making a lot of noise.
And then I'm just gonna leave. Going cold fishing.
That's fine because actually I can get so much done when I have the house to myself.
But I gotta be there to make sure you're not watching your show. You gotta stick to your chores.
That's fine. I can do my chores and watch the show. Multi-task.
See, that makes me crazy. Why? How are you actually watching the show?
It's there. I'll watch it and I can listen. No way. And then every now and then I'll like stop and look and see. Oh, I do it all the time.
That's why you can watch with captions on. Because you're not actually watching. Yes, I am. No. No way. Your brain is multitasking and you need the captions to keep you on task.
Well, yes, that because my brain never shuts off.
Where I see the captions, I go like, this is a complete distraction from what I'm trying to watch.
Well, sorry, my brain can compute more than one thing at a time.
As most women can. I am not that. I'm watching this. I need no distractions or else I'll lose everything.
I know you will. I know that about you.
How do we ever watch anything together?
I don't know. It's a miracle. Well, last night you were trying to find something and you kept moving past Bridgerton and I kept going, stop. It's not gonna be that.
I have zero desires to watch Bridgerton.
I know. Zero. That's fine. But I knew you were gonna fall asleep and I was like, just turn that on because you're gonna fall asleep before I will. And then it'll just be on for me. And we picked something and guess what? You fell asleep and I went.
I could be watching Bridgerton. Yeah, I know.
I've been a little bit motivated because the other day I cleaned out our kitchen cupboards in the pantry and threw away a bunch of food that was expired. And last night while I was waiting for chicken to cook, I was like, I could make some use of my time while I'm just sitting here waiting. And I opened the freezer and I was like, let's go through the freezer. Let's get rid of this stuff.
Yeah, you know what we found? So much food. So much food. Did you know that we had a freezer full of food?
No, I mean I did, but I really thought, and here's the thing, I've been putting it off because I knew that it was full. Yeah. But I was like, it's like probably old meat in there.
I mean, not old, we got like good chicken, we got ground
beef in there, we got shrimp, we got steaks, we got a lot of stuff. We got meatballs for days. I know. Like we have so much food.
And here's the problem. There was so much frozen chicken in there and you were like, why you keep buying chicken? Stop buying chicken. We have enough for weeks. And here's my problem. I don't like defrosting. I don't know, I don't have a reason why. Maybe it's just because it takes a long time.
It's not, it takes 12, 15 minutes. I know. And you don't have to do anything.
I think it's just like an extra 15 minutes. Like cooking for me, it already takes so much time that I go, now I have to add on a defrost time and that's annoying.
Here's the difference because I've watched you cook the last couple of nights and you and I cook way differently. I'm an Amusebouche guy. I like to grab all of my things and have them ready and prepped and at my fingertips. I could put the food in the microwave to defrost for that 15 minutes while I'm gathering all the things, laying out my workspace, getting all the things. Like I'll look at all the steps through the recipe and go, I'm gonna need this, I'm gonna need this. Like here's my ingredients. I'm gonna add, oh, I have to strain something.
I'm gonna get that ready. I do all my prep pieces and then I start. You're a build it as you go kind of lady. You go, oh, I need that. And so what'll happen is you'll get four steps, six steps, 12 steps into a recipe and go, oh no, I don't have this thing.
Yeah. Or I'll be like, I forgot to add that part.
Right, oh, I didn't do that step. Right, like you're a build as you go recipe kind of person.
But here's what else I do that you don't do. I also clean as I cook. So when I'm done, if I know I'm done with the knife, I'll put it in the dishwasher. You just throw everything in the sink and then wait till the end to clean it all up. But I clean as I go.
But I also have like an order of like my food cutting. So the other part about having that in there to defrost is that it's out of my way. Because I'm not gonna touch chicken until last because I can't use the cutting board and the knife after I've touched chicken with it. I can't use that for the rest of my food.
That's why I put it in the dishwasher.
No, I know, but I'm saying I've got my prep up here. I'm doing all my veggies. I'm doing all my stuff. I'm getting all that stuff cut. And if I have to set it aside in the bowl because it's later in the recipe, fine. I'll do that. So I've got everything done. And then I'll deal with the meat last because it can't touch anything else. But then I'm only using one knife and one cutting board. But I'm not putting it away mid-cook. I see what you're saying. Right. We just do it different.
We do it very differently. Hey, let's not buy any more chicken for a while.
Yeah, we don't need to. And we need to use some meatballs. We've got like a couple of bags of shrimp. So we need to make some shrimp meals. Yeah, we do. We still have some fish in there, some salmon. We found some salmon in the freezer. That's a good find.
I always like to find a salmon. That was cool. That was cool. Have you been through the outside freezers? No. Because we have the garage fridge, which has a freezer. And we have the deep freeze. The chest freezer. We got a lot of food.
I was excited. We actually didn't throw a lot away from the freezer. There was a couple of things.
A couple that were like open that we weren't sure how long they'd been in the freezer. And when you looked inside, it was mostly icicles. That's the stuff we got rid of.
Yeah, I was pretty impressed by it. But otherwise, yeah, pretty good. But also mad because...
We haven't used it. Yeah.
I need to look in there more often. I just was afraid to because I was like, no, I don't know what's in there. It's all gonna be frostbite. Nope. Bitten stuff, frostbitten food. It looked good.
It did look good. And then, you know what we did add to the freezer? More chicken. More chicken. I asked you a question a minute ago, and then you told me that it was like today. The question is, how old were you when you learned this factoid? And then you said, yeah, I was 44. I learned that today.
And the fact is, how old were you when you learned that Barney was never really there? And then you said what? Like that. You said what?
What's that mean? And I said, the opening line of the Barney theme song is Barney is a dinosaur from our imagination. Which means those kids were just imagining Barney hanging out as they were dancing and singing around and doing their whole thing, making that show. And Barney was never there. No.
So I was today years old. Yeah, yeah, yeah. How often did you watch Barney?
Not super often. I did a lot of babysitting, so I watched Barney quite a bit.
Barney was on more than, you know who was on more than Barney were those Olson twins. My sister loved the Olson twin movies. So they were on frequently. Yeah. Whereas Barney was kind of around. Like he was present in his non-present way, in his imaginary presence. But yeah, that's kind of an interesting thing.
There's still a Barney song that I sing. There's actually a couple.
The cleanup, the cleanup song's huge.
I sing the growing one. Growing, we do it every day. I don't know this one. We're growing when we're sleeping. Okay. And even when we play. Look at this. And as we grow a little
taller, we can do more things because I'm growing. And so are you.
Do you wanna know earlier in my radio career, back in 2005-ish? 2006, you know this already. A morning guy that I worked with was the original Barney. He was like before the one that was on TV and everything. But as they were developing it, he was the original Barney the dinosaur. DOG.
Yeah, he was the voice and the whole thing. Yeah, which was kind of interesting. And that's like a cool resume thing to be like. Not for me, for him. I was the original Barney the dinosaur.
Like yeah, that's cool. Why did he leave? Why did he leave Barney? I need to do other stuff, I guess, I don't know. Or maybe they hired the other dude who was gonna be the main Barney guy.
Okay, there's another Barney song that I sing. Is this a cleanup one? No. I don't know. It's brush your teeth. And how we never let the water run. Oh. So you turn, I can't remember all the words to that part. But every, most of the time when I brush my teeth, I turn the water off when I'm brushing. Because we never let the water run. Because what a waste. Well, look at that.
Anyway, I didn't know.
I didn't know that he was an imaginary friend. I knew he was imaginary. I just didn't process that that means he wasn't there. He existed in the kid's imaginations, not in the physical form. And that is weird.
Is it? That's a weird thing to know.
Because now like go back and watch the show and just understand that Barney and Baby Bop and all the rest weren't really there. It was just the kids having imagination. And that sort of like changes the whole show.
I'd be curious to see somebody like edit him out. So it was just the kids and there was no Barney voice and there was no Barney. Like it was just the kids having a shared imagination experience.
Yeah, how did they all have the same imaginary friend? That's what I'm saying. Our daughter had an imaginary friend for a very long time and her name was Lucy. Right. And Lucy got left. She's on vacation. Lucy got left at the grocery store a lot of times. We'd be driving down the street and then we would say, oh no, we left Lucy at the store. And we'd be like, Lucy, keep up. She was always. And then we'd say, no, she's running behind us. She's gonna catch up.
And she's wicked fast. Not going back to the store.
Lucy, come on. It's follow along. I wish I could meet Lucy. I know.
Your nephew had really good ones.
He did too. Yeah, he had two imaginary friends. They were named Pinch and Kink. And those are great imaginary friend names.
I would like to meet Pinch and Kink. Me too.
We should have had Emory draw Lucy once just to see what she might have looked like.
Very interesting.
I would like to know what Lucy looks like. Maybe she still knows. That darn Lucy. She was always getting left behind though. That's what I remember the most. Yep.
She was never where she was supposed to be. Can't keep track of that girl. Can't keep track of any of them.
Keep track of your imaginary friend.
Put her in a basket or something. Would you rather this or that?
Okay, I asked this question a while ago, but now I'm gonna reverse. So a while ago I asked, would you rather pick all the music or pick all the movies? And now I'm gonna ask, would you rather your spouse pick all the music or pick all the movies? What would you rather I pick? Hey. Why are you reacting like this? Hey. What are you gonna pick?
And then you tell me why I'm reacting like that because your music playlist is not my
music playlist and your movie choices are not my movie choices. No, it sure isn't. And that is why I'm trying to struggle a little bit because it isn't a compromise here. Would you rather settle on a movie you both agree on or a music playlist you both agree on? Those are two separate things. Okay, but okay. But if it's just your taste and you pick. Yeah.
I think I have good taste in both music and movies. I didn't say you had bad taste.
It's just not my preference.
Well, same. I know. That's what I'm saying. I think we have very similar tastes in music. We have differing opinions too, but I think our taste in music is very similar. We share a lot of likes. So I'm going with music. There's a lot of your stuff that I go. But I- I'm picking Daddy Fryer. Forever and always.
To start. Oh no. It'll be the first, it'll be every prime number in my playlist will be Daddy Fryer. Okay.
Weird. Why? Every prime number. Yeah. Okay. It's weird.
I know. That's on purpose.
I know it is, because you're a weirdo.
You get big gaps. I mean, you're going to have a few right out the gate at one, three, five and 11. And then you're going to have a little while until you get the next one.
I know, that's fine. It's fine. I'd rather you pick the music than the movie.
What movie do you think I'm going to pick that you're not into?
It's just going to be some kind of fishing.
No, there aren't that many fishing movies.
I know, but I don't enjoy what you pick most of the time. But I do enjoy some of your music. Okay. So that's what I'm going with.
I will just, for the sake of it, go the other way and have you pick a movie. But it's going to be something I've seen a million times or it's going to be something you've tried to convince me to watch a million times. Yeah. And I'm not going to be into it. And then you're going to feel bad about it because you're going to be like, it's Harold and Mod.
You got to watch it. It's Harold and Mod. I know. It's a fish called Wanda. It's sort of a fish called Wanda. I know. And I'm going to go, okay.
Great. Those are both very good movies that I've been trying. It's Pillow Talk.
See, I know the movies you want me to watch. Why did you put your hands on drips like that?
Because you do listen. I listen all the time.
I've been trying to get you to watch those movies for 20 years. It's my fair lady.
I know. It's Little Women. I know.
So it's going to be one of those movies or it's going to be a movie from the 90s that you can quote every line from that we've seen a bajillion times. Yeah. But here's the thing.
What? It's like an hour and a half. If it's like you're picking all the music in the car ride and we're on a road trip or something. I kind of do that anyway though. No, we end up on like a podcast or something.
We end up not listening to just music because I just, I would almost always prefer these days to just not have sound on because I'm an old man. What? No.
I don't want, I just want to hear the silence. Don't you? Sometimes? No.
No, I know. I can hear your car come. Boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom. That's what it sounds like when you pull in the driveway and I go, what is she rocking out to today?
Good stuff. Yeah. That's what. Okay, I'll pick the movies. Yep. You picked the music.
Yes, prime number daddy fryer. That's it. Weirdo. Before we kick off our weekend, there's a little bit of gripe we've got to do because you and I both just had a moment of agreement which feels like a rare thing in today's show.
There's been a little bit of back and forth of disagreement pretty much all show. But just then, something beautiful happened. We both said, you know what kind of video I hate? And that's a strong word, but it's the truth because these people that get online and they film themselves pointing while a video is playing or they just watch it and their faces, they're laughing.
Yeah, I don't like, you're basically just stolen somebody else's video.
Yeah, and then you filmed yourself watching it. Yeah. And then posted it. Or the worst of the worst, I would say, is when someone watches a video that way and then after they're done laughing, open up the comments and read the comments and laugh at them as a video.
Yeah, I don't care about that. Oh boy, oh boy.
I don't, and it's kind of the same. I don't like watching reaction videos for the same reason. I don't necessarily care. And you want to film reaction videos for us? We
make them, yeah, they do okay stuff.
But I don't care to watch them.
It's more about a shared experience. And I feel like what we're doing, like when we did it with the Wicked Movie Trailers or whatever, it's more of us talking about it. But I don't like when people will go and dissect every part of it and they'll go, let's pause and then let's talk about what we just saw. And then let's watch a little bit more and pause and let's talk about that. Like just watch the whole thing, which is what we'll do. And we don't give a lot of like, like you might see a facial expression or a gasp or a, oh Jonathan Bailey, whatever during the video part. And then afterward, we're gonna have a conversation.
And if you want to watch it cool, if you don't, fine. But that's how I prefer to do a reaction. I don't like to do the over the top. I don't want it to be fake.
Like this is a real honest reaction. We haven't watched it beforehand. We're watching it together right now.
And if you want to see what we think about it and hear a little bit about our thoughts, that's what I like about our reaction videos. I'm not doing the gross over all that. You know? You feel me? You still don't like it?
No, I don't like reaction videos. I do not. Okay. Because I just want to watch a video and get my own opinion about it. Right. And so when you're like, we should film a reaction video, I go, okay. But that's because you've seen bad ones. It doesn't matter. I don't like them. But it's a similar context where somebody's reading the comments of a video and laughing and I go, I don't need this.
No. I can read my own comments. I will swipe those every single time. Because I don't want someone to read me the comments. I will go into the comments and read them myself if I want. I don't do that for every video. There's an occasional one where I'll be like, somebody probably said something really funny.
I want to read the top three or four comments. And then I move on. Yes, same. I'm not going to have you read the jokes that are in there and then laugh at them.
It's really bad. Well, it's the same. Sometimes there's videos and people will put that laughing voice track behind it.
That squeaky, gaspy one.
Yeah. I keep scrolling past those. Every time. Because I'm like, I don't care for that. Yep. Yeah, I agree.
Like, I know it's funny. That's like adding a laugh track to a TV show.
That is kind of like, don't tell me when I should laugh. I'll decide what's funny and what's not.
You're correct. And it doesn't need that terrible laughing audio.
Correct. And there you have it.
I said we had a gripe to get out. But we disagree in the end because I don't mind some reaction videos, some of them. But ultimately it's gotta be, hey, here's the trailer. We're gonna watch it.
After we watch it, we'll talk about it. Don't pause and break it down as you go. I don't like a breakdown. I don't like that. Yeah, I don't like that.
I don't wanna have like, unless there's a few times when I'm okay with it. And it's like when the stranger things, trailers were coming out and people had noticed different things. But again, I've already watched the trailer.
So now I'm going into like deep dive. I'm looking for that info. So I think that's cool. And there's a couple of people that do that. I like a good gadget review or a gear review. So there's like people who are like, hey, here's this thing and I tested it out. And let me tell you.
I don't like that either actually. You don't.
You don't like it if people are like, let me tell you about this new fabric.
I don't, I skipped past it. I don't like it. I can't explain why. I just think it's boring.
I'm into it. I like learning about stuff.
I know, but if I want something bad enough, I'll just get it and try it myself. I don't need you to tell me if that product is good because it works for you, but it might not work for me.
No, I know, but I take a little bit of that, like a little bit of opinion on people I trust. But then I really look at like, what's the functionality of it? And why did they say that this one is better than the other one? And I go, that's a really good point. Or I go, no, I think I would go with this other one because of that feature. No? No, it's not for me. I do that. I do a lot of research.
I know you do. I like it. I know you do. Maybe that's why I don't like it. Because I do. You do so much of it.
It is true. I go watch gear reviews, all the time.
I know, I know that about you. I like to know that stuff. I am well aware.
If I find something I like, like a new backpack or whatever, I'll go watch reviews just to learn more about it before I buy it. I know. Oh, I know. Have you ever shopped with me? What do you like about that? I don't like shopping at all. What do you like about shopping with me? I don't.
What do you like about me?
Let's get a little broader.
There's so many things I like about you. Yes, my musical tastes. Sometimes.
Most times, especially when I'm really in a Eurovision mood. My shopping, my research, my video choices.
That's not your character. That's not your personality. Those are just little...
These are the things I do on a day to day.
Your habits. I don't always love all your habits.
Do you like a good tutorial video? How do you feel about a tutorial?
No. No? I don't. You don't watch tutorials? No, and you even said to me the other day, because I'm trying to do some art. Yeah. You go, just watch a tutorial. And I went, I don't want to.
Not like, here's exactly what you should create. I get it. And follow along as I create, do what I do. But like, hey, here's how this particular medium works. I don't know.
For some reason, they're annoying to me. I don't know.
Maybe it's just the creator. Maybe you need to find the right kind of creator. Maybe. It's possible. Or just...
I will. Thank you. I will. I guess. It's been working this long. Keep going. Never change.
