Full show transcript:
So apparently adults are going to act like children still. Okay. What does that mean? Well, Starbucks released the glass barista cold cup.
Oh yes, I've heard about that. Did you see videos? I haven't seen videos, but I saw the cup itself and I went...
Okay, it looks like the honey jar. Yeah, it does. Right? It's a glass bear holding a Starbucks cup with the little logo on there. He's wearing a green beanie and a little twisty green white straw comes out of his head. Well, apparently they've sold out of these things in minutes. It was released yesterday at Starbucks for $30.
Get out of here. Get out of here. $30 for this glass bear. I'm going to use my honey jar. Dude, people have gone completely feral about this. It's gross. They are fighting in the stores over it. Yeah.
Shelves are already cleared out. Some frustrated customers are accusing employees of buying the cups before stores even open. I saw that. And then leaving none to the public. I saw that. There are videos of people literally like holding it up above their heads so other people don't grab it from them like kids. They're fighting like children over a bear cup.
It's not even that great. What are we doing? It's not even that cool. What are we doing? Also, I feel like Starbucks is a bit to blame for this. Okay. And I'll tell you why. Because I think companies do this where they listen if something's in hot demand, butternays.
I was going to say. I was going to bring up butternays.
They go, okay, well, supply versus demand. This is this old economics lesson, right? Like people are going to want this. And they ramp it up and they ramp it up and they ramp it up and they go, it's going to be hot demand. Let's make less than what we think we're going to sell.
Yeah.
Because they know.
Then they'll sell them all. They know that it's going to be hot money. So some of these are already online right now from over $300. Stupid. Online right now. And then that's dumb. I just, it's unreal. Like what are we doing? What are we doing? For a stupid bear cup. Right. Like it's not even anything real. No. Like I'm telling you five years from now, you're going to find a million of these at the thrift store. Exactly.
What are we doing? What are we doing? Go back to your Stanley. Go touch grass.
Or that. That's even better. Go outside and get a life.
What are you talking about? What is really important here? And it's not your glass. I know. You've got to have the $30 glass bear. It's called a barista.
Yeah. Great. I don't careista. Let's start the show. Okay.
Hello. Oh hi. Hello. Good morning. Hello.
Good morning to you, sir. You ever lie to me? Never. No.
That was the quietest never you've ever, ever, nevered. Never. Nope. Never. What's a maybe completely harmless white lie? That you're still telling your partner to this day? Never. Mm-hmm. One person said, I never told him that the plant he excitedly reported is having watered for me while I was away for work in the early days of our relationship was fake. And that was five years ago. I kept it alive.
Yeah, those are nice lies.
That's what I said. Harmless white lies. That you still tell your partner to this day.
Yes, I do have one actually. You're going to come clean about it? No, because it's a situation just like that. Really? Mm-hmm. It's not a plant situation, but it is something that I knew that you had wanted and you thought that the people around you surprised you, but it was me that was orchestrating it all. Well, and...
Well, isn't that interesting? Aren't you just the puppet master? Hmm. Hmm. Someone said that he looks his age. In reality, he looks older.
Ouch. Yeah. That's not a harmless one. That one hurts.
Someone said that it was the dog. That's what they said. What? No, that was the dog. Whatever it was. It was the dog.
I've told those lies, but you guys, you and the family always would get onto me because I'm a terrible liar.
Yeah, it wasn't the dog. It was because you do this. You go, no, it was the dog. No. Your delivery is way weird.
I know it was because I'm a bad liar, which isn't a bad thing.
This person said, a lot of women responding to this, which I think is interesting. I'm trying to find a man's response.
Men don't want to come clean.
Because they're more honest. This one, I told them that I love his favorite shirt even though I genuinely hate it so much. I love him though, so I put up with that fashion choice.
You have some shirts like that. Yeah. But I tell you that I don't love it. I don't lie about those ones. I just go, it's not my favorite. Some of them you've gotten rid of, which makes me sad because if you like it, keep it. Yeah, no. Nope.
Not going to make your eyeballs hurt any longer. Stop. This person said, what a little white lie is that he truly surprised me with his proposal. He was so proud of it. I just couldn't tell him I saw it coming that day. Oh. That's a big one. That's a big one. Again, all women. Oh, this one's bad.
I guess women are just honest about their lies.
They're in anonymity coming clean so that they can feel good and sleep at night.
But again, these are nice lies. These aren't hurting anyone.
I tell them I absolutely love his homemade chili when in reality it's a culinary war crime that I endure for love.
Oh, no. Oh. Yep. How would you feel? Would you want, if say, I didn't like the thing that you love to make the most? Say that again? Okay. Say there is a dish that you make, not chili, but something else that you're like, yeah, I love making this.
You make like a Dutch oven sticky chicken. Yeah. Okay. So, or a smash burger. Okay. Okay. So, you like making that, but I just can't stand it. Would you rather me say, I don't really like this at all?
Yeah, because I wouldn't make it again. I wouldn't make you suffer through a war crime.
But what if everybody else liked it and you enjoyed making it?
I just would find something that I cook for you most often. So, I would find a way to cook for you that you like. That's nice. Yeah. I'm a nice guy. I don't have these little white lies to make myself feel like some sort of power.
I like all of the food that you cook, to be honest, to completely honest.
I could change that. Why? I got some old timey recipes. Oh, I've had some of that. I'd like to bust out.
I've had some, believe you me. Yeah. You were not a great cook when we got together. All right. You've had a glow up, as the kids say.
Oh, and glow up in the kitchen department. Look at my kitchen glow up. Wow. Some good news for you. Now that Halloween is over and the Harvest Festival at the Dollywood theme park in Tennessee has also come to an end.
That festival features a display of massive pumpkins weighing up to 2,000 pounds. What? Yeah. Huge pumpkins. What do you do with pumpkins like that when you're done, you think? Smash them.
You think? And feed them to wildlife.
Oh, interesting angle you'd take. Is that what they did? So Dollywood donated them to Zoo Knoxville to allow the animals to have some fun. So the elephants, Edie and Tonka, got to smash stomp and snack on them while visitors gathered to watch the whole thing. The zoo's director of animal care, his name is Phil, called it a rare opportunity to give a 2,000 pound pumpkin to a 15,000 pound African elephant. What a rare opportunity. Just one. Phil's really into it. He's like, what's a 2,000 pound pumpkin?
No, I know what I'm saying. One elephant can't eat a 2,000 pound pumpkin.
No, but they smash it up. They get to hang out. There's two elephants there. Okay. Other zoo animals joined in the fun as well. The Cuban crocodiles reportedly enjoyed squashing and carrying their pumpkin trunks.
Really? Yeah. I wouldn't have assumed that a crocodile likes pumpkin.
The things you learn. Rare opportunity. I hear. Phil said. I hear. It's all part of the zoo's enrichment program, helping animals engage in natural behaviors like foraging and tearing things apart. Phil also said they do smash things. They do tear stuff apart to get the insides out. Thanks, Phil. Who is Phil? Oh, Phil is the zoo's director of animal care.
Okay. Great.
Thanks, Phil. Thanks, Phil. What a fun. What a fun. Zoo animals and pumpkins. That's good news.
A couple of days ago, I was telling you that Tillamook, the cheese company, has put together a buttery and mayonnaise spread, perfect for grilled cheese. And they had a kit put together with the butternays and some packets of cheese. Correct. And a spreading knife. A little spreading knife, yes. And it went on sale yesterday at 10 o'clock.
And you were hanging out. You were like refreshing the webpage like you were buying concert tickets.
Yeah, I know. I wanted some butternays. You were going to find the perfect bread. We were going to make ourselves a sandwich. I know. It's a whole thing. We wanted to see if this thing was good. That's right.
And I'm not kidding. When I tell you I was in the process, it was in my cart. I was putting in my billing information. 10-02, a pop-up sold out. This item has been removed from your cart. It is sold out. It's no longer in stock.
So they made one. I have no idea. 10-02, it took two minutes to sell out butternays. Who even knew about it for one and who went to buy it? I'm so mad.
I wonder how many they made. I have no idea. So did you do what I suggested? Did you reach out via email? I did. Did you get a response? No. Oh.
I bet they were flooded. You think? I don't know. Why does anybody want this butternay?
Why do we want it? Because I want to try it. Yeah, well, so does everybody else. You know what I didn't?
I was in line to buy the kit. But I don't know if they just sold it by itself. I don't think so. I don't think they did either. But I didn't even look. Let me look right now. Maybe they got it back in stock.
Well, maybe. That would be great. But no, it still says sold out. No, I can't even believe it.
I know. Can you even believe it? No. I can't even believe it. What do we do now? I don't know. I guess here's the thing. We could just make our own.
I mean, or I could just make a good grilled cheese with mayonnaise the way I do. That's fine. Let's do that. Do you want to do that? I can. I'll make tomato soup. If you want. I do want. I'm indifferent. I know. I'll never have the soup I had. And that's okay. I've come to terms with it.
Josh, my tomato soup is pretty.
I know. I've had it. I've helped make it. It's fine. It's very good. It is very good. I had the best like roasted garlic tomato bisque ever in Denver years ago. And I'll never have that soup again.
What made it so spectacular? I don't even know. You talk about it all the time.
And here's the thing. It changed my life, that soup.
Yeah, I know. But sometimes we have these ideas in our head. Like, yeah, something tastes really, really good. But because it tasted so good, it keeps elevating itself. The more we talk about it. So by now it's elevated so much in your head that it's probably just mediocre. But you have your memory of it.
Because here's the thing. I kind of took a risk on it. You know, I'm not a big soup guy. Yeah. And I was there for a conference and I went down to lunch with a couple of other guys that were at the conference. And we went down to the restaurant in the hotel and we had lunch down there. And I had that soup. And I was like, they have a soup sandwich combo. I'll go for that.
Yeah, that's typical order. I remember the sandwich.
But I can't stop thinking about that tomato soup. Still? Yeah.
How'd you all these years? Yeah. It's been a long time. I think you love that soup more than you love me.
No, that's not true. I can't stop thinking about it. Yeah, but I see you often. I haven't seen that soup since I had it. It's different levels.
Maybe you should contact that company, that restaurant, and see if they'll ship you some. Yeah. I bet they have a different cook. I know. I bet they've changed the recipe. You'll never have that soup again. That's what I'm saying. It's the one that got away.
I had it. And I'm grateful for that. At least I had it once. I touched greatness. I want to try it. It's so good.
I want to put my soup and that soup side by side and see which one is better. I don't know. Honestly, it's not hard to make tomato soup.
Yeah, I know. But I think this one probably was someone's great, great grandma's famous recipe that they turned into just the greatest thing I had that day.
Probably not. They probably just found it on allrecipes.com. You're right.
It probably comes in a box and they get it from whatever food distribution truck drops it off.
It's not samples. I'll tell you that. It was so good. Campbell soup was the worst.
Tomatoes like wet ketchup.
It was so bad. When my mom would make that, I'd be like, Yeah, it's wet ketchup. Oh, and so then for years, I was like, I hate tomato soup. No, it's because I always had bad tomato soup.
Yeah, no, making it for real and putting in all the stuff and using the immersion blender. Yeah, that's how you do it.
Fresh basil, a little crispy croutons on top. If you want. And now I want that.
Well, we don't have butternays, so we don't have any of them.
We're going to make our own, I think.
I'm not going to make a butternay's. Why? Because? Because why? I'll just use mayonnaise.
Fine. I'll just make my own butternays. Melt some butter. Do you think it's probably better to mix it with mayonnaise if it's melted or at room temperature?
I think you have to make it from scratch with all of the ingredients that go into the two. I don't think you take the two finished products and mix them. No, I'm. The oils aren't going to work. You can't just do that.
That's what I'm going to do. So.
That is going to not work. It's going to be a weird, coagulated, slick situation. Well, we're going to find out. I know how this goes.
Okay. I think that I'm a pretty smart person and I feel like I can catch on to things pretty quickly. Okay. I learned the alphabet when I was. A little. Tiny. Sure. I still have trouble if I'm trying to alphabetize something. That was hard work to get out.
If you're, if you're alphabetizing something, you have a hard time. Is it, let me guess, somewhere around the you?
Yes. Is it? Yes. And like the GHK situation. GHK. Yeah. Cause I'm always, I always have to go. What comes like first is his G before K. Yes. I know. I know that.
Yeah. But it's like that section of letters and the last section of letters that really hang me up. And then I go, W before X. And then I have to start at T. T U V. Yep. Got it. Okay. Am I the only one?
No, I'm sure you're not the only one.
Do you? There's no way you're the only one. I don't get hung up on that. Really? I don't. You know exactly. Yeah. Is U before V? Yeah. Okay. How about X before W? No. T U V W. I didn't know if you were right or wrong.
We just literally two seconds ago, you said W before X.
How do you know that so easily?
I don't know. It's just the thing I can do.
To me that UVX, no, the UVW XYZ, that conglomeration of numbers, I can't sort out in my brain.
That's your whole issue. You thought they were numbers. Oh, did I say that? Now you know why. You're thinking in numbers.
I actually, U and Z, not U, holy smokies. Where are we at? Y and Z are easy. I know those ones. Well, yeah. Take them out of the equation. Okay. It's the UVW X that really hangs me up.
How are you with the NMNOPs? Oh, fine. Got those. NMNOs. LMNOs. Got it. Interesting. I do not have that particular hang up in alphabetization. Really? Am I the only? No, you're not the only one. Okay.
I'm going to focus. It's those four letters really that hang me up. Sometimes, not always. It's the GHK situation.
GHIJK? You keep saying GHK and I'm like, you're forgetting two of them.
Yeah, because I guess it's not the case situation at all.
K's out of there. K's good. This is a GH. Here's what I do for fun. When I'm bored in my head, which you don't understand, because I can put nothing in there. Sometimes, for fun, I'll do the alphabet backwards as fast as I can.
You do? Yes. I didn't know that about you. It's in my brain. I couldn't do it backwards. No? No, I haven't ever done it. I mean, I've done it to say that I haven't ever is a lie.
If you were to start, where would you start and how far would you get before you stumbled?
I would stumble at the UVWX.
Because of the backwards. So pretty quick. Yeah. So let's give it a go. OK.
ZYXWVUTSRQOP. Yeah, that's where you got hung up though. You made it halfway through almost.
That's not bad. Maybe that's what I should practice. Is that why you don't get hung up? Because you know backwards?
I don't know. And I don't know when I started. You know what I should do is, but memorization is a weird thing for me. Numbers, I've got weird numbers stuck in there.
Old bank account numbers that I had when I was a teenager. Why do I have that in my head? I don't know. That account doesn't even exist, but I could still tell you what the account number was. Like weird stuff like that hangs on because I memorized it forever ago. Interesting. But the alphabet backwards is a fun one. If you're just bored in your head sometime, give it a go.
I never get bored in my head. I know.
That's why you don't have room for stuff like the alphabet. Because I'm not bored in my head.
I got the alphabet in there. I just, my brain sometimes goes, wait, is this V come before W? I kind of, hold on. Let's start at T.
Start at V. And why do you got to go backwards?
Because then I go, wait, where does you fall in line? So I really have to go back to T to get where you and V and W and, it's those four, UVWX. I got to focus on those. That's my project for today.
Do some practice alphabet. Yesterday I was driving home
and I saw on the road a man on an electric scooter. He had a helmet on. Well, that's nice. But he was in a lane, a car lane. Just electric scooter in. Huh. And I thought, I don't think that's safe or legal. Okay.
Well, one, he's wearing a helmet, so good on him. Yeah, but. Was this road a shared bike lane road?
No, it was on Woodruff. Okay.
And he's just cruising? He was just cruising. And he's cruising in the lane? Yep. Is he in the middle of the lane or is he to the right in the lane?
He was in the middle. Huh. Interesting. Like a car. He was driving it like a car. Yeah. And then I went, he is going pretty quick. I don't know how fast he was going. I don't know how fast those electric scooters can go. Okay.
Well, listen, hearing a little bit, Sergeant Crane's going to be in the building probably. Oh, yeah. Let's do some investigating. Let's find out if that's a legal thing you can do.
Yeah. Because I would think in a shared bike lane road, that's probably okay. If they were scootering in the bike lane, that's probably okay. They were not. But where it's a main road, I don't know where the bike lanes are that run north and south. I don't either. I see a lot running east and west, but I don't know the, I don't know the layout of the
north and south bike lanes. And then it was worried for him because that seemed very unsafe. He was cruising too. I mean, he was going pretty fast. But if there's any kind of, you got no protection, buddy. I was kind of nervous.
Yeah. And then I had to not think about it because that makes me too nervous for you. I can't be nervous for you. You're making your own decisions. You know? Yeah.
No, I know. I don't see. Hmm. What do you see? I'm just, I found a website that does the bike map thing through your town. And? And I'm just trying to see.
But here's the other thing too. Like if he was going really quick, I mean, he was keeping up with traffic. So he was at least going 25, 30. Sure. And that's not safe for a sidewalk either. Right.
So. Yeah. So Woodruff itself is not a bike lane. Um, but I can't figure out where the bike lane would be to go north south. Interesting. I don't have an answer to that. Okay. We're going to have to ask.
Yeah. We're going to find out because, you know, obviously if you need to go to a place that's on Woodruff, how do you safely scooter there? That's a good question. We're going to get to the bottom of this today. We're going to find out.
And then once you have that information there, desk punchy, uh, what are you going to do with it? You're going to, you're going to go, Hey, hey, hey. Next time you've seen him, uh, you see him, you're going to go, you need to stop. What are you, uh, what are you going to do with that information? Next time you bump into this guy. I'm just curious where this goes.
I didn't bump into him at all. So when you say the next time I bump into this guy, I saw him. Yeah. It was parked going east west at the red light. He was going north south. I see. And he's assumed right past me. We didn't bump into each other at all. I see. But when I have the information, I might citizen citation. That's not a thing.
I think it's just going to be, you know it. Why do you keep tipping your head like, well, yes it is. And I'm going to do it. Well, no, it's, uh, he's breaking the laws. Well, get off my lawn. This is kind of how it feels. Like what do you, what are you trying to, what are you trying to accomplish?
I'm not going to do anything. Honestly.
I really am not. Except you're going to see him going, and you're going to go, that guy's breaking the law and I know it. And I know that.
I see people breaking the law all the time. And I yell at them in my car. So that's probably what I'm going to do. If I see that guy again, I'm going to
go, Oh, there he goes breaking the law. Do whatever you want to your world. We're just living in it. I know the rules.
I'm better than you.
The way it goes. Okay. Good luck with that. I really hope that goes well for you. It will. It always does new knowledge. That's good. What if he's like, nah, he's just fine.
He's doing what he's supposed to do. Then you're going to go, well, I don't like it. I don't agree with it.
I'm going to get that law changed. You don't know me at all. Nope. It looks like yesterday they announced that the 208 year old publication that farmers, gardeners and others keen to predict the weather have relied on for guidance will be publishing for the final time. The Farmers Almanac.
I saw this. They said on Thursday that the 2026 edition will be its last. Now, I learned that there is the Farmers Almanac that has been in publication for 208 years. And then there is the old Farmers Almanac, which has been in print since 1818. It ain't going anywhere.
Okay. So what is the difference between the two? There's two of them.
That's the difference. But the Farmers Almanac and the old Farmers Almanac. So when you think about the Farmers Almanac, you look at that tannish cover with the ornate little things around the edge. Is that the one you see? It's yellow. Yellowish? Okay. Yes. Look up old Farmers Almanac. Is that the one you're thinking of when you go to images? You're thinking of the old Farmers Almanac.
I absolutely am.
And it ain't going nowhere. I heard. Now take out the word old and search Farmers Almanac and you will see that it is not the same.
No, it is not the same.
Now you do end up getting pictures of both, but the Farmers Almanac is a different look. Okay.
So what is this new publication
that's going away? Well, it's been around for 208 years. No, no, no, no. I know. But what's, if I don't search old Farmers Almanac and I just search Farmers Almanac, what is this one? Well, they're kind of similar, I guess.
So here's the deal. The one that is going out of print next year is based out of Maine. The old Farmers Almanac is based out of, sorry, I just lost it, out of New Hampshire. New Hampshire? New Hampshire. Yeah. Because that's what they call it.
They do call it. Yeah, they do. They both kind of contain a lot of the same information. Gardening tips, trivia, jokes, natural remedies, you know, stuff like that as long as well as like weather forecasts and, you know, so on and so on. The editor, Sandy Duncan, said in a statement, it's with a heavy heart that we share the end of what has not only been around an annual tradition in millions of homes and hearths for hundreds of years, but also a way of life and inspiration for many who realize the wisdom of generations past is the key to the generations of the future. And I think that's a nice sentiment. I mean, that's really, that's what it's all about. It's tradition. It's about passing on these things.
And that's really what they focused on for a long time. Farmers Almanac reported a circulation of 2.1 million in 2017. Yeah, which is pretty incredible.
That's in North America. And it was gaining new readers among young people interested in where their food came from. Many of the readers listed in cities prompting the publication to feature skyscrapers as well as old farmhouses on the cover. They were really working on kind of doing that, but it seems like 2026 is the end for the print and they will be phasing out their website as well. So the farmers almanac, not the old one is going away after next year. Where do they get all their information for the farmers almanac?
I would probably say farmers. The weather and stuff? Oh yeah. Yeah. No, they got somebody out there with sticks, finding the water and like they got old Jim with his trick knee. That feels like rain in January, I tell you. I don't know how they get their information. What do you mean? I don't know.
Old Jim's trick knee telling you the weather, right? Write it down. Print it.
Oh, that made me laugh, Joshua.
Well good. I heard. Anyway, the old farmers almanac will still be available. They have no plans of going away. Well that's kind of a niche thing to have two publications of, isn't it?
Right, but it's also, it feels a little clickbaity to say the farmers almanac is going away. Well it is. And then you read it and you're like, okay, well, it's not what you think it is.
Because you thought it was the old farmers almanac.
I did not know that they were two. That was the big news for me too.
It did not currently subscribe to the farmers almanac.
Have you ever? No. Have you ever picked one up? Yes. And read it? No. You picked it up and went, oh, that's an old farmer's almanac and set it back down. Yeah. That's neat. So you can rent the 2026 one from the library. You can. Yeah, I saw it there the other day when we were there. I was like, oh, there's the farmers almanac for 26. How about that?
I'm going to pick it up and then I'm going to look through it.
And then put it back down? Yeah. Okay. Well, they have it. You can also buy it at like any ranch store or whatever for probably a few bucks.
I've seen that at the ranch stores that I frequent.
I think they sell it at the grocery store. You can pick it up anywhere. It's been around since 1818.
And it ain't going nowhere. 1792. Who? I saw this picture that said 1792. It's been around since 1792.
The old farmer's almanac. The old farmer's almanac. What about that? So there you go. And now you know.
Our dog is a flight risk. Yeah. And I don't know why because we provide a nice little life for her. Yeah, it's what I'm saying. She's got a cozy bed. She's allowed to sleep on the couch. She gets a lots of treats and snacks all day. That's right. She's got a nice backyard. I know. We love on her.
But there's so much outside of the house that is curious. There's squirrels and cats and different smells and other people and kids that go by. And there's a lot of stuff to see and explore.
She has escaped a time or two. And she, it used to be that when she did escape, you could get her back if you could get like a squeaker toy really fast and squeak it. And then she'd be like, what, what, what, what? And she would come back. And now the novelty of that squeak has gone away and she doesn't listen to that anymore.
No, not even kind of. That is not of interest.
So we have to tell every guest that comes over, be careful. We've got a flight risk dog. If you're opening the door, like be super careful.
Just make sure you know where she is, like before you hit the button.
Exactly. And I don't know what I was thinking last night.
I was downstairs. I was in my studio. I was working on printing a thing. And you ever have your printer tell you that it's ready to print, but it lies. Yes.
So I was dealing with a lying printer. Oh. And all I hear is, oh no. And then squeak, squeak, squeak, squeak, squeak, Luna, Luna, Luna. And I went, what is going on?
You go over upstairs, lickety-split.
Well, I dropped what I was working on, went up the stairs, and I went, I got to go chase a dog. Here we go.
You were upstairs so fast. And so I go outside and I'm like, where did she go? And I kind of felt like you weren't sure. I saw her run to the left is all I saw.
Okay. I didn't see where she went at all. So I went out and I was headed toward where I know she went last time. And I see her running across the road.
And I was like, here we go. And she's fast. She's little. She's way fast. But then she started running toward me. And so I was like, I'm going to block her.
And so I started going, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey. And she's coming toward me. And she like, oh, I'm going to block her.
Like Bob's Weaves and goes around the corner and I turned the corner and I went, hey! And my big dad voice and she stopped and I went, holy smokes, that worked. I picked her up. I brought her back home. It worked quick. I can't believe she stopped. When I got my real dad voice on, she immediately, bird.
Because I saw her running across the street and I tried to stop her too and she was like, uh-uh.
Yeah. I'm afraid. I mean, it wasn't super late so me yelling, hey, really loud didn't like wake up the neighborhood, I hope.
No, it was seven, I think.
Yeah. But luckily there was nobody out walking their dogs because- And there wasn't traffic at the moment.
Oh yeah, because she doesn't care about anything. She just runs. Here's what happened. It was a total dumb mistake on my part. I can't even believe I did it. And then I was just beating myself up the whole night. I want a new coat slash shoe situation by the front door. There's no room. I know there isn't.
Okay. But I was looking online yesterday for a situation and I was like, I need some measurements. And so I got my measuring tape out and I was doing some measurements and I was like, oh, actually, there's not a lot of space here, but we don't open the door all the way. So let me just see how much space I have if I open the door. And I opened the door and I just let the door stay open. And she was like, oh, okay. Freedom.
Yeah. Cool. I'm out.
And I went, what are you doing? You dummy.
You were thinking about one thing, not the other.
If you, you are the only one that can run fast enough to keep up with her in our house. And you were the only one that she really listens to. She doesn't listen to anyone. But if you weren't there, there's no way that I would have been able to get her. She would have been lost forever.
I don't know. I mean, I did take off running. I almost lost my hat at one point.
I was running so fast. You were running so fast. I was running very fast. Ooh. I was in a full out. I was top speed.
You got to run like the wind. Run like the wind. Okay.
I didn't know which song we had triggered in your brain, but now it's that one. All right. Good job catching the dog. Yeah. Stress. It was stressful for only a moment. I was really like, I'm going to have to knock on this house. I'm going to have to get in their backyard again.
You were so fast. Good job being so fast.
Well, and loud. And that stopped her, which was good. Good job. A good, strong. Hey. She was like, okay. All right. I'm out of the house. I get it. I'll stop. Good job. It worked. Good job, Josh.
Our son is on a weekend trip with some of his dude bros. Yeah. Guys and I don't. Okay. He landed. He flew out this morning. He landed in Denver. Right. Not too long ago, but he's been, they've just been sitting in the airport for, and maybe their phones are dead and they're trying to charge. But we just sent him a text and said, you know, you can leave the airport.
Yeah. There's a whole city. You can go, you can go see. It's so funny. I don't know what they're up to.
I don't need that. You keep checking on them.
We have a lot. I keep looking at the, at the, yeah, the life, life 360 thing to see what, where is that? And I'm like, you're still in the airport. It's a go get a donut or something. They've got this donut shop as he goes, I don't even see that. I'm like, send him the ping. I'm like, it's like right next to where it says you're standing. Go get a donut, dude.
But also go outside.
Yeah. Go downtown. Go check out Denver. What are you doing?
Get out of the airport. It's boring.
And expensive.
And expensive, right? Go, go find something else to do. Go do some exploring. I don't know. They're going to figure it out. Right. I'm pretty excited for them. They've got plans to go to a Nuggets game. Yep.
And to see it. And they've got a concert they're going to. I can't remember which order.
I can't remember which order either.
And then they're like flying back the next day. Hopefully, or I guess on Sunday, but hopefully they're all good. I know we've been watching like the flight cancellation thing. I just saw East Idaho News has an article that they posted this morning about flight cancellations and stuff. I haven't read through it.
I haven't read through it either. He does have another trip that he's flying to in a couple of weeks to LA. I know. I know. I hope that flight doesn't get canceled either. I did see that post from East Idaho News about the flight cancellations. And I just saw some comments. I didn't read all the comments, but I did see some laughing emojis. And that kind of made me sad.
Like, yeah, no, this is like people's travel, man. Right. I don't. I guess it's hilarious. I know. I think it's so fun.
Did you find that article? No. Are you reading any information about it?
I didn't find it.
If you're planning to travel, and here's what we know to be true too, because we've seen, especially in these bigger cities, the TSA lines are outrageously wrong and taking hours upon hours to get through because of the limited staff. So just a heads up. You're traveling. Give yourself extra time.
Well, what I understand is that they're, and again, I haven't read through this article, so I need to get this information, but it's like a day to day thing for which flights are going to be canceled. And there are certain airlines that have hubs where they have to have their airplanes go to get serviced and stuff like that. So those types of places are going to continue to be okay because the planes have to cycle through certain protocols. And so they're like, we're going to fly there regardless. So those flights are going to be up and running, and that's going to be okay for hubs. I think what's going to get weirdly affected is going to be if there are places where an airport flies to where they have multiple flights in a day or multiple airlines that fly there, that's what they're going to start cutting down.
That's my hot take on it. I don't know if that's really the way it's going to work, but airlines themselves remain the best source for real-time information on schedule changes, delays, and cancellations. An evolving situation, and while flight decisions are made by the airlines and the FAA, they are continuing to stay attentive to any potential impacts locally as well. But I don't think, I didn't see on the initial list of airports that would be affected that Idaho Falls was on there. Salt Lake is still going to be up and running because Delta has to fly into Salt Lake.
That's one of their hubs. So if you're flying Delta, they're going to be going in and out of there. But it could cut thousands of flights per day and could affect many international airports, including Salt Lake, Denver, Seattle, Tacoma, Washington, is it Dolos, Portland International, Vegas, Harry Reid, and LAX. So the good news is, Beck won't be flying into LAX. He's flying into Fort Wayne, or Fort Wayne, no, John Wayne. And so that'll be not on the list of affected airports at this point. It's an evolving situation. There you go. Give yourself extra time. Always, always. And like now it seems like potentially hours of extra time.
Good luck if you're traveling for the holidays. And we aren't over here laugh, emoji, and at you. No, no, that's a stressful situation. So good luck. OK, you have an emergency Thanksgiving, which means you have to have it right now. You can't go to the grocery store. You can't use DoorDash. You have to make Thanksgiving dinner with what you have in your house at this exact moment. What are you making?
Well, we don't have a turkey. No. Or a ham. No. I do have a couple of frozen roasts.
We have some de-thod. We have thod. We've got a couple of packets of chicken breasts. OK.
So as far as meat, we're going to have some meat. I think we're set on meat because we've got some frozen stuff. I can make a gravy. That's not hard.
But it doesn't necessarily have to be a typical Thanksgiving meal either.
No, I'm just thinking like I've got some fresh potatoes. And then I've also got some dehydrated potatoes so we can rock out mashed potatoes. And I can make scalloped potatoes if I wanted. I could make some stuff.
But we also have instant potatoes.
That's what I said. Oh, did you say that? Yeah. So I can make mashed potatoes and I can make scalloped. I can make a couple different potatoes. I'm sure we've got some random vegetable cans.
Yeah, we do. So we're going to have a vegetable of some kind. It may be a weird bean situation, but we've got vegetables. So we've got some vegetables. We've got some potatoes. We've got some meat.
I think I have a couple of boxes of stovetop. You think? I do. Maybe just one. OK. But I do have bread.
That's what I was going to say. We've got some bread. We can dry out on the counter and then we can make some stuffing. That's possible. But we don't have, we've got lots of seasonings, but I don't think we have any celery in the house right now. No. So you're not going to have any of that. But I have carrots. We have some eggs so we could develop some eggs. Yeah. That's a possibility. We've got some stuff. We could put together a feast.
I do have one tiny little can of pumpkin. OK. So small pie. That's OK. Yeah, we could make it work. Now, take away the typical Thanksgiving meal. What are you cooking?
We got frozen pizzas. We got taquitos.
Like a hot pot. You're just going to make a hot pot?
I'll just figure out what we have. I mean, I could make tacos real easy. I think we have some tortillas here. Yeah, we do. So I could definitely whip up some Mexican food. We've got rice. I could make a lot of different things with rice. So I could turn that into lots of stuff. I have lots of different sauces and seasonings. So I could make, I could turn any of the meat we have into some sort of meat and rice thing.
Here's what I know to be true about you. You're pretty good at looking in the cupboards and coming up with stuff. Yeah. You're pretty good at that. I am not.
But you- Oh, and we have pastas. We have lots of pastas, too. Yeah. So if I could make some, I could make some cream sauce. I have a couple of bags of frozen tomatoes. So I could make a red sauce, too. Do that. I'm just saying, I could make some food. Now I kind of want you to. But why? Because- Emergency Thanksgiving. I could put together a meal.
I bet you could. You absolutely could. I would not. I would want you, I'll be your sous chef. And I want you to just do the rest of it.
Will you be sous chef or will you be, what can I help with? And I'll go, no, I'm good. And not because I don't want your help, but because I've got it.
Yeah, but you- Like I've got it in my head. You say that, and so then I make myself comfortable. And then you go, oh, hey, can you do this? So there are times when you- Sure. Then you go, oh, I need you to do this.
Right. Like if I'm like, hey, the sugar is clear across the room and I can't be bothered, can you get me a couple of teaspoons of sugar or something?
Yeah. Yeah. So I am your sous chef. Yeah, yeah.
But it isn't like you're like right there with me going like, okay, I know exactly what we're doing and let me jump in and do all the food prep parts and whatever so you can cook. Like that's sous chef, right? Yeah. Like you're kitchen assistant. Fine. Geez. But that's because you're not inside my head.
Thanks for stripping away my title. No, listen, you can be my sous chef any day. Thanks, Josh.
What? He just, yes, go on.
Tell me what you're going to tell me. What are you going to say? Last night, Emery and I were very excited to view the first five minutes of the fifth season of Stranger Things. Yesterday was Stranger Things Day. Was it? Yeah.
Emery is a huge fan of Stranger Things.
Yes. And you have not seen the first five minutes because you were like, you know what? Go ahead and watch it without me. I'm going to take a nice warm bath.
And so we did. And I got to tell you, if you haven't seen it yet and you're a big Stranger Things fan, you got to go watch the first five minutes. It felt like it was over in 30 seconds. It's four minutes and 54 seconds, but it felt like it was 30 seconds because it's so quick.
Here's. My memory is awful. And I have seen all four seasons of Stranger Things. I don't remember what happened.
Do you remember season one? Yes. Then you're going to love the first five minutes because it is a full on back to season one thing. Really? It's going to be insane.
Yes. The season one is the one I remember the most. So that's great. Yeah.
And a lot of people thought, you know what? Season one was so perfect because of the way the story was told, the way it ended. Like it left you wanting more. A lot of people are like, season one would have been enough because it was so good. And now we're going into the final season, season five. And not that it isn't good.
But people are like, you know what? The first season was so great though because they had referenced so many 80s themes and shots and storylines and looks. And so many things were touched upon in the first season. They were like, this is so cool and good. And they've continued a lot of that throughout, even though some of the stuff has become really unbelievable. They've been like, what? That's weird.
I liked. But okay. Was last season, season four this season with Eddie? Yes. I really liked Eddie. And I also really liked the Scoops of Hoy season. Okay.
That's the mall season. And that's where people, I can't remember, but that's one of the ones that people get hung up on the skepticism of. And they're like, really? The Russians have a base under the mall? Like this is a thing? Like, come on. Hey, listen. It's outlandish in Hawkins. Come on. So it's, but it works for the story. But they're like, yeah, it's pretty wild.
That was Russian. I know.
It was the 80s. Anyway, so that's one of the storylines where people go like, that's pretty unbelievable. But okay, we'll do it for the show. So anyway, that first five minutes, it wasn't enough. And we still have to wait to get the actual full season.
Here's what happened. Every had been waiting. She was like, it comes out at six. We can watch it the first five minutes at six o'clock. And then she tuned in and she was like, no, it's not happening. And then she kept on her phone. They were just doing interviews with the cast. And then eight o'clock, she was like, yeah, I think we can watch it.
But here's what happened by then. I was like out of the mood. I was like, I don't, I'm cold. And so I kind of did this like dance in the hallway where she was like, are you going to come watch it with us? And I went, yeah.
There's so much, there's so much lore in here. There's so much like, like theory that you can apply to everything. So what's going to happen is November 26, we're going to get the first four episodes. The fourth episode is called Sorcerer. And if you go back to the very first season, do you remember everyone's characters in their DND campaign? Nope. Will's the Sorcerer.
Oh my gosh.
I know. Oh. So the day before Thanksgiving, we get the first four episodes. Christmas Day, we get episodes five, six, and seven. And New Year's Eve, the final chapter, chapter eight, called the right side up. Whoa. I know. I know. Because if you go all the way back to season one, I'm trying to remember season one, chapter eight, the finale of chapter of the first season was called the upside down. Right. I remember that.
And now we're at season five, and it will end with the right side up. It's very good. I'm very excited. I think the show's done a really good job.
I'm glad to see it come to an end, because I think it's time, but I'm really excited. And you should watch the first five minutes. It's worth your time.
I need to watch the first four seasons. Yes, indeed. I would like to be a part of that. As we build up to the 26th of November. All right. We can do it. And I know that would be some time that we would be able to spend with our daughter, because you will 100% watch them all again.
Oh, I think she's already seen them three or four times.
But she'll do it again. She will. So anyway, get ready for it.
This is a cool story that I read. Carol Burnett has donated more than 140 of her industry honors, including her Emmys, her Grammy, and Golden Globes to UCLA. I saw that. So this gift, her donation coincides with the launch of the Carol Burnett Endowed Undergraduate Scholarship and Musical Theater.
That's really cool. How many? More than 140. Wow. That's pretty incredible. And what are they going to do? Just display them, I guess, so that other people can see them? Yes.
I don't necessarily know what they're going to do with them. I don't know. I was reading this article. It doesn't necessarily know what they're going to do with them. So she has seven Emmys, six Golden Globes, a Grammy, a Tony, a Presidential Medal of Freedom, a Kennedy Center Honor, multiple Peabody Awards, a Steven Seindheim Award. Holy smokes. A Creative Circle Award.
Why don't you do some with your life, Carol? She's amazing. Okay. She also included hand drawings of her in costume from the Carol Burnett show. That she did the drawings or someone else?
No, somebody else did. Hand drawings. There's multiples. I see. A still boxed doll of her in her CBS variety shows, Scarlett O'Hara Curtin Hanger costume and other photos in memorabilia. Interesting.
So they're going to have just a real nice display of her stuff.
They're going to have a rotating display in the lobby of the UCLA's play house.
And you said she donated those things. Yeah. Yeah. Wow. I mean, she's 92. Is she really? She really is. Yeah. That's pretty incredible. Oh. 92 years, years young, we'll say.
She says that she is pleased with the endowment of the Carol Burnett Scarlet ship to the UCLA School of Theater. Students will be given an opportunity akin to what UCLA gave me when I enrolled fresh out of high school.
I found my true passion at UCLA and in the scholarship lies the hope that it will do the same for many others in the years to come. That's nice. I know.
Okay. Listen to this. Okay. Help me understand this. She was born April 26, 1933. She is 92. This upcoming April, she'll turn 93. Okay. Why do I have a post? And this has got to be some weird AI thing, I think. Because it says happy 93rd birthday and it's got her and the 93 Carol Burnett cake thing.
It's 100%. This is like a strange AI thing. Like someone is making an AI of her birthday celebration? Weird. Very weird for clicks. They're doing it for to get clicks. Like clickbait? Yeah. Weird. Like her birthday is in April and this post went up November 4th, just the other day. Weird.
I can't explain that to you.
You said explain this to me, but I cannot. I'm just trying to understand why someone would be like, yeah, let's hurry and make an AI 93rd birthday thing and post it so people will click on it. Her birthday is until April. What?
I don't know. That is weird. I just wanted to say that I love Carol Burnett and I love the Carol Burnett show. Yeah. And there was one episode that I used to watch and it had Richard Kind on it. Uh-huh. They all played school children and he as a school child was like, look what I can do.
And he like would fit his whole fist in his mouth. Well, that's a neat trick. When I was like a kid, I was like, oh my gosh, that's amazing. Can you do it? No. I have tried to find that.
You said Tim Conn. Richard Kind. Richard Kind. Yeah. Okay. Richard Kind. Got it. Got it. What are you looking for? I just want to see if I can find that episode.
I've tried to find it many times, but I can't ever find it.
It says it was on Carol and Company. Oh, so sorry. No, I'm just finding this out. Like that was a different show.
Still had Carol Burnett in it, didn't it? Sure did. It did.
It did. And it was in the 90s. So yeah, that would make sense. That would make sense. Carol and Company.
Oh, sorry. Oh.
Anyway, good for Carol. That's great. Good for UCLA also. And yeah, if we ever get down that way, we'll have to go check it out. You can look at all this stuff.
That'd be cool. Yeah. I'd be down. Look at all this Carol stuff. Wow. Comicbook.com. Okay. Which is a site that I frequent.
Yeah, okay. Because if there's one thing I know about you, it's that you love comic books. I have never seen you even pick up a comic strip, let alone a comic book.
I read, I used to read comic strips in the Sundays, the Sunday Funnies. Yeah. The Family Circle and all that.
Not a comic strip. Beetle Bailey. You never read Beetle Bailey.
No, I didn't. But I knew it was in the comics. Okay. And Kathy.
You never read Ack. Nobody read it. No one likes Kathy.
Oh, I totally related to her. She was a middle-aged, workaholic woman. When I was 16 years old, I was like, I get it, Kathy. I get it.
Okay. Hold on. Before we dive into this comic book.com conversation, give me more comic strips that you actually read.
No. The Farside?
No. Yes. Not a strip. That's a panel. That's one box.
No, no, no, no, no. Family is, yes. No, it was a strip. Are you crazy? It was a strip. Farside? Yeah.
It was one drawing. No. Yes. No. Yep. They were, they told a story in one drawing. That was kind of his thing.
Okay. Well, I've given you four comics.
You've given me things that would have appeared in the comic section of the newspaper. Yes. But you haven't mentioned peanuts. You haven't mentioned Garfield. You haven't mentioned Zits. You haven't mentioned. I don't know Zits. Zits was great. I didn't know that. My grandma used to clip out Zits from the newspaper and keep them for me.
Oh, nice. I didn't, I don't know that comic. I'm sorry.
That's fine. Zits was good. When I was a teenager, Zits was on par with teens.
I liked, well, I liked Kathy. No, you didn't. No, I didn't. Nobody liked Kathy. That was a terrible comic. Yeah.
Calvin and Hobbes. Yes. Phenomenon.
Yes. Love Calvin and Hobbes. I love Calvin and Hobbes too. So anyway, there were a lot of strips that were way better than the list you gave off that weren't actual comic strips.
Anyway, what's going on at comicbook.com?
Okay, comicbook.com puts together a list of the 10 most iconic quotes that everyone should know. Okay. From comic books? From movies.
From comic book movies? No.
Just movies in general? Yeah. I said movie quotes, didn't I? No. The 10 most iconic movie quotes that everyone should know. Okay. Let's see. I'm going to name them and I'll see if you else.
You want to name the movie or you
want to name, you're going to name the quote? No, no, no. I'm going to say the quote. You're going to guess the movie. I'm pretty sure you're going to get an A plus on this. I'm excited. I'll start with number 10. But I can't say the, it says blank assemble.
Oh, Avengers assemble. See, that's a comic book one. Okay.
So what's the movie? Well, it... They gave a specific movie.
It's end game. Good job. Is when Captain America says that. One out of 10.
The first rule of blank is you don't, okay, good job.
With great power comes great responsibility. That's Spider-Man. Houston, we have a problem.
That's Apollo 13. Yeah. I see dead people. So six cents.
Good, you're doing so well. Yeah. Toto, I have a feeling we're not in Kansas anymore.
Okay, Wizard of Oz. You shall not pass. That is from Lord of the Rings. Now, which one is it from Fellowship or is it from, no, it's later. Two towers? I don't know. It could be from the last one actually. It could be from the third one. I don't know. It's the Fellowship. It is from the Fellowship. Okay. I'll be back. That's Terminator.
Bond, James Bond. Okay. But what movie is it from?
Well, it's, he says it in many, I would assume.
I don't know. They gave a specific movie. But it's probably old ones. It's not in the, I've only seen one James Bond movie. It's from Doctor No. Okay. And May the Force Be With You.
All right, that's a Star Wars reference. Which one? Well, many. That's a greeting. It's a common greeting. It's used in many Star Wars movies. Okay, but which one did they list? And also with you. That's what I always say. I know. May the Force Be With You and also with you.
Oh, funny. All right. Well. Which one? You didn't say which one? All of them. Okay. But which one did they say? They just put. I don't know. They put the first one.
New Hope. Yeah. Which is the fourth one. Right. So let's, let's get real nerdy here. I don't know my Star Wars. You're right. I got 10 out of 10. No.
Yeah. You did not. Sure did. You didn't really know Dr.
No. No, I knew it was from the James Bond movie. Because I said the quote. Yeah.
I'll give you eight out of 10. That's rude. That's what you got, my guy. How did I get eight out of 10? Because you didn't say the New Hope and you didn't say Dr.
No. You also said it was from the first one, but it's actually the fourth one.
So you get a negative point. Okay, you Star Wars nerd.
Would you rather this or that?
I have a good. I have a good one today.
Okay. Would you rather get lost in a corn maze with your X or with your boss? Boss. Yeah, that's easy, but it's funny. It is funny, but yeah. Okay. That's where I'm at. Alrighty. Where are you at?
Yeah, boss. Yeah, boss. Yeah.
Yeah. Because that's way less awkward. Right. Okay.
I mean, that's fairly easy. Like, you know, I could at least hang out. We could figure things out. We could be a work thing. It'd be okay.
Yeah, there you go. You know. And then what would happen is if it was with your X. Oh, boy.
An argument. Really?
Oh, it'd be a bad time. Would you just try to run away though? Would you try to just like work on your own?
I'd be like, bye. Yeah. I'd be like, good luck finding your way out of this one. Have a good one. Peace out. Yep. Okay. Well, see you later. Enjoy the corn. Enjoy the corn. I will. Thanks. Yeah. Bye. That's fine. Have fun.
Or would you rekindle in the corn?
There's no corn rekindling. No, no. Rekindling the corn is not a sentence.
That could be a title for a good horror movie.
Rekindling the corn. Yeah, it would be a horror movie. That's fun. Okay.
That was easy.
It was an easy answer. But how neat. It was neat. Yeah. Yeah, I'm definitely 100% gonna hang out with you.
Okay. Okay. Okay. Okay. What if think about the worst boss you've ever had? Not current boss. Because we like our boss.
Worst boss I've ever had? So think about the worst boss you've ever, ever had. I'm trying to think. I mean, I'm pretty easy to get along with.
I know. But think of the one that you were like, oh.
That boss? I mean, there was one where I went like, are you even the boss? Because I didn't like no one really knew what he was up to ever. And then there was another boss I had who didn't like the towns we lived in. He was from Boise.
He was very fancy. He was so high city.
He was high city, but he didn't like traveling to East Idaho to be the boss. He hated Mark.
Because Boise is so high city.
It was for him. It was very Boise elite. He was very, very Boise elite. You're still in Idaho, my guy. For real. So that guy, that guy wouldn't be fun to hang out with. Okay.
So that one or your ex?
Still him. Okay. Yeah. No, there's no chance. I'm going to the rekindle in the corn factory thing. No, it's not a thing. Why is it a factory? I don't know why the factory thing happened. I don't know what you're talking about. I've moved on from it.
Okay. Would you rather this or that? I didn't grow up with grandparents around. So I'm always looking for grandparental advice. Okay. And there's a list of grandparent advice that I read this morning. I was like, this is all great advice. I like all of this advice. All right. What you got? Saying nice things to strangers.
That's advice? That's good advice. Saying nice things to strangers.
Give genuine compliments whenever possible. Okay. Not just strangers really, to anyone.
I just was trying to work out that sentence, but I got there. I'm with you.
Don't wash the dishes. If you are the one cooking, make the eaters wash them. You could use that advice. What are you talking about? When you cook, I do the dishes. When I cook, I also do the dishes.
I have been very cognitive of cleaning up as I go when I cook to minimize that. For sure. Lately you have been. Doing better. When you know better, you do better.
I've been doing better. Okay. I preach, buddy. Man. Preach. Sleep as much as you need to. There's no shame in self-care. Yeah.
Okay. I like that. Yeah. Sometimes responsibilities like work get in the way of the sleep.
Get rid of social media apps. At best, they're just a way to kill time with the occasional interesting post. At worst, they'll poison your head. Okay. That's good advice. Begin every morning with a stretching routine to loosen up your joints. Constantly move throughout the day, either taking a walk or listening to oldies book goodies, which always make you move and groove. Move and groove.
Okay. And you'll appreciate this one the most, I think. Werther's original. Great candy.
She goes, this grandmother said, I didn't get it before, but now that I'm older and taking a lot of medications for different physical problems, my mouth goes dry rather quickly. And Werther's originals does the trick.
Okay. You love Werther's originals. I do. You also love oldies book goodies. You also love moving and grooving.
That's right, because they get you moving and grooving.
Golden oldies.
And Butterscotch. That's me. That is you. I'm an old man.
You are an old man. That's okay.
You want some grandpa advice? Yeah. I'm not a grandpa, so I can't give you any. Okay.
All right. One day.
You will be one day. Yeah, let's not rush that. No.
Yeah. We are much too young.
That's right. To feel that old. We're not as old as your sister. That's for sure.
That is for sure.
She's old. Are we supposed to see her this weekend? Yeah. Oh, I can't wait. You're going to tell her she's old to her face? Yeah.
I do all the time. Look how old you are. Oh, my. Three grandkids? You're old. You'll always be older than me. Way older. All right.
