Full show transcript:
Mother's Day is on Sunday and there are some deals for you, moms.
Oh, tell me. You want to go to Denny's, you can get a free breakfast in bed deal all weekend long. You get $10 off 30 when you're ordering breakfast online or in the app. You got to use the code MOMDAY. But then you can go pick up the breakfast and then deliver it to bed.
That's a good deal. I don't think we even have that anymore. And I don't have more. Oh, no, I know. There's more bookatello.
No, there is a Denny's in Rexburg. Okay. So take advantage. We don't have an Einstein's Brothers Bagel, so that doesn't matter. We don't have a Friendly's.
We do have a Baskin Robbins in the neighborhood. If you have their app, you get $5 off a special Mother's Day cake. And they're giving you bonus rewards points in their app.
Golden Corral, Mom's Dine, free at all Golden Corral locations on Mother's Day. No kidding. Let's see.
Oh, we don't have a Hooters, but you can take Mom to Hooters to get 10 free wings when you buy 10. Please don't. Why?
Please don't do that. No Mom wants that. Well, okay. I shouldn't say no Mom's. I'm sure there are some Mom's that want that. Get your 10 free wings when you buy 10 at Hooters for Mom.
I don't want that. TCBY, having said that in the Mom time, they have a frozen yogurt deal. We don't have that around White Castle.
We don't have that. We do have a Raising Canes in Chubbock and there will be soon one in Idaho Falls. They have a Bogo box combo for Caniac Club members on All Mother's Day weekend. That's awesome.
A Bogo box combo. Do you think that it's going to be a good idea to take me to Raising Canes on Mother's Day? No, but do you think it's a good idea for me to go there?
Yes. I can't wait. Like, I'm so excited for that chicken. Like I really, it's worth taking the trip to Chubbock just to go get it, especially on a Bogo All Weekend. You better not take me to Raising Canes on Mother's Day. That's all I'm going to say. Maybe we go tomorrow?
I don't. You just take the kids and go, hey, that's a nice Mother's Day. You get a low time because I'm taking the kids out of town. But it's a Bogo so we're going to get four boxes. Who's going to eat the fourth one? I'm sure the four of you can figure it out.
I know. We're just going to split it between the three of us. Do you have to have mom there for it? Raising Canes offering Bogo box combos for Caniac Club members.
I got to figure out how to become a Caniac. He doesn't say anything about having a mom there. All Mother's Day weekend. Yeah, I got to check that out. I got to learn more about the Caniac Club. Sure do.
Looking into it right now. Crazy for Canes. Join the Caniac. Are there any deals that I would like?
That's everything I saw. Golden corral free dinner. We don't have any of that stuff that you mentioned. Oh, Denny's? Nope. Breakfast in bed from Denny's? You can get moons over my hammy. I don't want breakfast in bed but I do want you to make me breakfast. What do you want?
I don't know. I like it when you make the skillet. You want the skillet? Yes. With the gravy? Yes.
On the black spoon? I don't even care how you prepare. I don't care how you prepare. With the toasted golden crowns?
Yeah, and I also don't want to clean up the dishes when it's done. Great. Who's going to do that? Leave them till it's not Mother's Day.
That's what we'll do. And then you'll be like, I didn't want to clean up Mother's Day dishes and you go, it's not Mother's Day anymore, it's Monday. You sure know how to make me feel special.
I don't want to treat a lady. Let's get into today's show. Hey, hey, hey, hey. I was just checking and it's Friday. Did you know that? Yeah. You did know? I did know. Okay, when did you find out? I found out this morning when I woke up out of bed. And you said? I said, oh, it's not Saturday. That's one way to wake up, I guess.
Sure, sure, sure, sure. You didn't wake up and go, oh, it's Friday. I mean, you woke up and said it's not Saturday.
I like Friday. Okay. You still have to go to work. Spoiler alert. So Saturday, in my opinion, IMO.
Yeah. It's better because you don't have to go to work. So Friday's great. Okay. Saturday is better. Next question.
Okay. Are you ready for the weekend? Are you excited for the weekend?
Always excited for the weekend. Okay. Big plans? I don't, I don't, well, I've got, Emory and I are going to the center of music tonight. Oh, fun. And then what else do we got? I have to do a little bit of work tomorrow.
And then I would like to go to the nursery and get some plants. Yes. Mother's Day and that.
Yeah. I saw you made a list. I want to ask you a question about that list later. Okay.
So I will. It's pretty self-explanatory. I'm going to be asking you a question. So you better be prepared to have answers. I'm ready. Okay. Ask me anything. AMA. All right. I'm just going to be talking in acronyms all day. IMO. AMA.
You can. AMA. Are you wearing, I know you're still, hey, what is that? Total knockout. Good job.
It's Mike Tyson's punch out. Listen, I'm going to shift gears here for just a second. Sure.
Because are you wearing your new zero shoes? Yes. Yeah.
Do you like them? Yes. Are you wearing socks?
Yes. Good answer, except that today is no socks day. Ew.
What? Ew. You always have to wear socks. It may look like I'm not wearing socks because I don't like my socks to show. So all of my socks are no-show socks.
And somebody the other day said to me, how can you always have your ankles showing? And I went, I love that. Was that a young person?
Yes. Young people don't like ankles. I know.
I like my ankles. Yeah. I actually do.
I don't know why they don't like, I don't want a long, a long sock tan line. I'll tell you that much. I also had a swollen ankle the other day. And that made me sad. I wanted to cover that up. It's normal now. Did you just put some makeup on it? Yep. You can make it look thin.
Contour. I think that's how the makeup works. Anyway, no sock day. Gross. Wear a sock. Just one? Yep. On your hand.
With eyeballs. Hello. It's Friday. It feels like Friday.
It feels like Friday. Yeah. Let's get to it. All right.
Let's go. Well, indeed it is prom season and a lot of high school students stressing about who to ask to the big dance. 17 year old Avent Williams of La Crosse, Wisconsin. He is known who his prom date would be since he was two years old. His mom?
No. His grandmother. Her name is Svala Heller and Svala grew up in Iceland where prom isn't really a thing. But after a lifetime of watching glamorous American movies, she always dreamed of going to prom and experiencing the real deal. And Avent took the wish to heart and promised over a decade ago that he would take her to his prom and he didn't just fulfill the promise. He went all out.
He posed for traditional photos, brought along his best friend as a second escort for the night. She says that she soaked up all the glamour that she'd seen on TV. He says it was the least he could do for the woman that he's been, has been by his side his entire life. And she said we have such a special bond.
I'm just taking every moment in and just enjoying it. How sweet. Isn't that cool? That is cool. Took his grandma to prom.
Because he said, ever since he was two. Get in grandma, we're going to prom. Get in the lima.
We're going to prom. Cute. Yeah, very, very cool. Very fun.
So that's good news. It's hard for me to decide if I'm ahead of the game, if I'm right on schedule or if I'm way behind because I'm trying to get the garden planted and I can't put stuff in the soil because I can't commit because I don't have my water system in place. So I've been working on the drip system as part of the big, beautiful backyard bonanza. Right. Beautification bonanza. There's a lot of B's in that name. Yeah. Okay.
And? I just wanted you to know, I still remember it's got a long name. It does. Okay. But we've been working on the backyard.
I've got new garden beds and I'm trying to put in a drip water system because that's always been the hardest part for me with gardening is the watering. Is it enough? Can I make time to do it all? What if we go out of town? So many variables with the water system. And so I've been working on installing this really cool automated drip system in the backyard. Spent a lot of time last night. I didn't want to go to bed.
I ran out of daylight and I was like, I still have so much I want to do. Yeah. Because I want to put the plants in the ground. So today I've got to get it done. I got to get the garden part done. Okay. There'll be plenty of time today. Yeah.
Because you'll get a little bit earlier. Yeah. Well, we'll see. I mean, normal time. Normal time for me. You get off a little bit earlier.
I get off normal time. Yeah. But then, yeah, I'm going to try and get that done. And then I was working last night inside because there's stuff I still need to plant some seeds and get some seed starts going. And that's where I go like, I feel like I'm behind on the seed starts. So I did get some stuff started and they take a week or so to start popping up.
It's going to be a couple of weeks before they'll be transplantable. And I go, oh, it's a couple of weeks. Like maybe I'm okay. I'm not in the June yet. I think maybe it's all right.
I don't think you're late. But then I have other seeds that like I have to plant as seeds, but you like a, you got to wait for the soil temperature to be right. Like that's a thing.
So I'm learning all about propagation and germination and drip systems. And you walked by and went, you're really into this, aren't you? You really are. I mean, I told somebody the other day, go, he does not have time, nor does he need another hobby. And this is really taken over.
Well, I think here's the thing about the garden. I'm not mad about it. Let me be clear. Yeah. What were you going to say? I didn't think you were upset.
Okay. I think for the garden, it's a lot of upfront. And then once I get into maintenance mode with a watering system, it's going to be like checking on things, trimming prune and making sure things are growing right, weeding. It's going to be a few things, but it's, I don't think it's going to be anything near like what this setup is this year because I've got so many new things going on.
Yeah. So this year is heavy, but I think future years and even the rest of this year will not be as heavy. So I look forward to that part of it because right now I'm like, I got so much to get done. And you know what else is happening?
What? New faucet for the kitchen sink you brought up. I know. You know what comes in the mail today? What?
The axle for my RC crawlers I've been waiting for. I mean. It's like all this other stuff's on hold while I've been focused on the garden. We had a link under our sink on Monday.
Yeah. And you went about a new faucet on Tuesday, but you shut off those Tuesday or Wednesday. I think it was Tuesday. You've shut off the cold water in our kitchen sink. Right.
So we haven't been able to get cold water from our kitchen sink since Wednesday or Monday night. Yeah. And I'm hearing about it from Emery. Oh, she bummed out. I have to go to the bathroom to fill up the dog's water. Yeah. It's four extra steps. It's not that inconvenient, but also the water in the bathroom is key rose. I don't think it's that bad. I don't want to fill my water bottle with it, Josh.
I know it's because it's. I have to come to work and fill my water bottle here. We have filtered water. I understand, but I like to have water at home too. Okay.
So I got that to do. Sorry. So yeah, I said last night, hey, wait, we should probably replace that faucet. No, I heard you.
Cause you said it kind of as you were walking away. Still got to get that kitchen faucet done too. Just keep moving it around. It's been sitting on the counter and moved it to the table and moved it back to the counter.
I know. I can't find what I need because all the stuff that lives under the sink is in a bin. Earlier this week, I said, you know what job I hate the most plumbing guess what I've been doing all week plumbing, plumbing. I'm dealing with water and sprinklers and mainline stuff and timers and all this, you know, and then yeah, now here I am going like, you know what would be great.
Let's deal with hoses and clamps and water. So fun. Anyway, I think it's going to be great. I'm excited. Just don't expect me to do any canning. You got to settle down on that. I really like, I'm going to go take the class.
I'm going to figure it out. I'm stoked about it. You didn't get a chance to really look at all the plants that I've got like up close. Did you know so excited. I got little pickling cucumbers, little ones make pickles. Our very own.
Isn't that cool? Lots of salsas. So many green beans.
You're going to have dilly beans. I do. I could be amazing. I'll take the canning class with you. I just don't have to. I don't want to do it alone.
I didn't expect to be like, here's my harvest. Can it. Okay.
Wasn't that kind of a thing. Can my foods. I grew them. No. Not at all. Anyway, I think it'll be a lot of fun. I'm glad you're having a good time.
Thanks. So on the counter is a list of different flower beds around the house. You have front yard and backyard labeled and different, I guess flower containers and flower beds that you want to get flowers for. So I created new flower beds as well. One thing I wanted to ask about is on there you put wild flowers. Yeah. That's the wild flower patch.
Gotcha. Do you know how many wild flowers I possess? I do. That's a lot.
I know. That's not necessarily a shopping list. That's just a flower bed list. Okay.
I know that you have wild flowers. So I wasn't preparing to purchase anymore. Gotcha. I have a lot.
I know. And I am anxious to get them started because oh, like so badly I want a wall of wild flowers. I want a meadow. Me too. So bad.
Me too. I would rip out all the grass and replace it with wild flowers. Let's do that. I think the city would have a problem with it.
Why? I heard that even if I wanted to just put in clover, just in my own grasses, like our friends had all that native grass and stuff, the city would have an issue because it looks like weeds. It does look like weeds, but it's not. I understand.
It's native grasses. I don't disagree. But that's what I understand to be true.
And then we get a paper on the door that says you've got to mow your lawn. And you say these aren't, this isn't. I know.
This isn't. It's not a battle I want to have. So, you know, as much as I would love to, I think we probably can't just rip out the yard and put in wildflower meadow.
Fine. I would love to. That would be amazing. That would be amazing.
Agreed. So when it comes to all of these different flower beds, like look, you've seen how I do my diagrams. I've got drawn out stuff.
Yeah, you have brass paper. Yeah, right? You measure stuff.
Yeah, right. I took a picture and a list. Oh, what's your picture? You took pictures of all the beds?
Not all of the beds, just like the new one that you had created. Yeah. And the trees, the tree area. Oh, okay. So just the one by the deck. Yeah. And then the trees. Oh, okay.
Because you got to figure out how many flowers you might want to put in there. Correct. I see.
What? I'm just trying to follow along because there's no problem. It's a list. I just didn't, I don't work the same way. So I'm trying to understand how your diagrams, or my diagrams, compared to your list. I just had a list because this is how I operate.
I operate by lists. Right. And I said, I've got this flower bed. I have this flower bed. I have this flower bed.
I have these pots. Yeah. I feel like there's some data missing.
Like what? Like how many flowers fit into each one? Oh, I never do that. If I wind up with extra flowers, great. Right.
If I wind up with fewer flowers. You go back. Great. Right. I get it.
I'm just trying to make sure you've got all your prep work done. It doesn't have to be an exact science. Just kind of a base idea. Mm-hmm.
And then do you go in with a plan of like what kind of flowers you're looking for? Yeah. That's in my head.
Is it? Well, depending on if they're going in a pot, I typically choose annuals. Right. But if it's going in the ground, then it's typically a perennial. Because you want to plant it once and have it come back. Yes.
I'm with you. And I know what areas are shaded mostly. And I know what areas are sunny mostly. Okay. I know what I'm doing, Josh. I didn't think you did. This isn't my first flower rodeo.
I just am trying. All I saw was a list sitting on top of the faucet I haven't installed yet. And the list had front yard and back yard. And it had, you know, eight maybe different locations in each one.
Here's the, excuse me, here's the thing. I like to buy flowers. I like to plant flowers.
Yeah. I don't necessarily consider myself a green thumb or even know what I'm doing or what flowers look good here or what flowers look good here. I just pick flowers that I think are pretty and that I like and then I plant them and I hope for the best. And that's what I do. Okay. Awesome. I like it. So far, so good.
Okay. My tulips are coming or my not my tulips. My, my lilies are coming back, which is fantastic. My days are coming up.
Ish. My daisies are popping up. My lambs here is doing well.
Doing great. What's the, what's the purple one up front? Oh, my flocks. Oh, that's so cool.
So good. I think we have another one in the back. We do.
Yeah. In the wildflower patch. It needs some help. It's not doing what the one in the front yard is doing. The one choked out from grasses. I know. I know. The one in the front is so cool. And I hope it just gets bigger and bigger and bigger.
You will. Like take over the whole front yard with that. Oh, could you imagine? It'd be just the brightest, purplest thing you've ever seen.
And then just green for a long time. Anyway, all right. Well, you got a plan. I do have a plan.
Let's go shopping. It's in my head. Yesterday, you asked a question about one band that you could listen to on a seven hour road trip. You get one band. You don't get the extension. You only get the one band.
Correct. I heard you talking to the kids about it. I heard Beck say Michael Jackson, which I think we agreed was kind of a high tier choice.
He said the Beatles or Michael Jackson. Did you get an answer from memory? Yeah. She said her favorite band, Riffwood. Okay. She's going to listen to them for seven hours.
And I don't think they have an extensive enough library. No, but she's got some songs she likes to listen to loud. And on repeat. So that's going to be a drive. She also said green day and both Beck and I went, no.
Yeah. I don't know if I could do seven hours of green day. I was driving in and I was listening to some Mark Mattel. You remember Mark? No.
So he entered a contest to replace, not replace. Freddie Mercury. Yeah.
To be the front man of Queen. Yeah. And he was very good and he came up on a playlist and I went, oh yeah, Mark Mattel. I totally forgot. And it sort of put my head into the queen head space and I went, you know, We didn't even talk about Queen yesterday. We didn't talk about Queen at all. And I'm kind of thinking Queen is a solid answer. Queen is always a solid answer. Because it's so good. Yeah.
Queen is so good. Sorry. What are you doing?
I was trying to get a tissue in the whole box. I see. It's fine.
So I think I've found the answer. You're going to do Queen? Between Michael Jackson and Queen, I think those are the two right answers.
Here's, okay. I think we did a great job of trying to introduce Beck to music. And then he did his own research into his music and what he likes. Yeah.
And sometimes Beck and I share, like when your kids approve of what you're listening to, your older kids and they go, you listen to this. Cool. High praise. Yeah. So when I told him that my choices were on the seven hour road trip Beatles, Fleetwood Mac and Simon and Garfunkel, he was like, Oh, those are good choices. I'm like, yes.
I won. Yeah. I do think the Simon and Garfunkel Paul Simon thing is a good, is a good pick too. That's the one. But that's the one that you get Paul Simon's library and Simon and Garfunkel's library.
I would mostly want to listen to the Paul Simon. Yeah. Anyway, the Queen thing popped into my head this morning.
Queen is a good pick. Oh yeah. I don't even know why we didn't even think about that. I know. Oh, sorry, Freddie. Yeah.
Anyway, just a quick revisit yesterday. I feel like that's the answer. It's a Queen Michael Jackson thing. Okay. Somewhere in there lies the answer. You drive to your destination, listen to Queen. You drive home from your destination listening to. MJ.
MJ. I think that's right. Okay.
Or flip them around either way. You don't even want to think about Kenny Rogers? No. No, I don't. Thanks for asking. I have a question.
Yes. What would you say is the most common message that we receive starting in January of every year? I don't know because we get two. We get when does Christmas music start?
Yes. And when is the second chance prompt? Those are the two questions we get asked the most. Every day? Yeah. I mean just about. Yeah. Depending on the season. Yes.
As we build up closer to Christmas we get sent a lot of messages of when does Christmas music start? Yeah. Which is a fine question. And it starts the same time. It starts probably after the 4th of July. Yeah. It will be after the 4th of July.
You're right. 4th of July happens and people go Christmas. When is Christmas music start? Yeah, that's right. And then right after Christmas music ends the questions then go when is prom? Yeah.
Yeah. 27th annual second chance prom is coming up. June 6th at the waterfront at Snake River Landing. It is happening. We've had a lot of people ask.
Yes. A lot of people have been asking when is second chance prom? It's going to be June 6th, Saturday the 6th, Saturday 6th at the waterfront at Snake River Landing in Idaho Falls. Now we're not ready to fully announce everything, everything yet. Like the theme.
The theme or where to get tickets. All that's coming Monday. So we will start cluing you in on all that stuff starting Monday. But in the meantime, if you want a little bit of a teaser, you want a little bit of a, a little bit of a, a little bit of a clue. A clue.
Insider information. Make sure you check us out on Facebook and Instagram and everywhere else. I just haven't got it all posted yet.
But Facebook and Instagram it's there right now. And we want to know if you can guess the theme based off of the clues we've provided. Pretty easy. Hey, hey, hey.
You haven't made it like a puzzle. Hey, hey, hey. Settle down.
I'm settled. We are about a month away. We're about four weeks away from the 27th annual second chance prom. Four weeks away. But what will I wear? I know. I got to get something. Well, you got to go check out the little teaser theme thing. So that then you can figure out what you're going to start. Costuming up for you know what I mean? Costuming up.
That's right. Go check it out on our Facebook and Instagram. You can see the little teaser.
You can leave your guests in the comments. It is not how the Grinch stole Christmas, which would be a great theme. It would be Christmas in June. Louisville.
Christmas at the prom. Maybe, maybe, you know, another year. But anyway, it is happening. June 6th, the waterfront snake. We're landing a lot of people been asking. And now you know, and you can go check out the little teaser and let us know if you can guess the theme.
Do you have a guess? I know what it is. All right. Facebook and Instagram for now. It'll be everywhere else all over our other social media is very soon. If you follow us there at Classy 97 KLC E the 27th annual second chance prom coming up. Woohoo.
In about four weeks. Oh, yeah. Emery came home crying yesterday. She's been driving to school now because she has her driver's license. And she said she came home from school yesterday and was crying and nobody was home to give her a hug. And so she had to hug the dog. Because I wasn't there.
I didn't hear about this. I heard her complaining that I wasn't home. I was out. I was busy yesterday afternoon. And so I didn't get home until like the same time you did. And so she got home, you know, a little before we did.
But yeah, she, she said, I heard her saying dad wasn't even homes to give me a hug. I didn't know that that was a problem. I didn't know the full extent of that conversation. But apparently she needed a hug. So she hugged the dog. She needed a hug. And the dog is less than huggy.
Okay. But glad the dog was there. I am glad the dog was there too. I'm glad she had something to hug. She was driving home yesterday and it was a little bit chaotic for her because they had to close the roundabout.
And then there was a train. So it kind of threw her off her game a little bit. And then so she was a little stressed out about that. And then she got honked at, which is something that she absolutely hates. She gets embarrassed when we get honked at.
Right. And then the driver of that honker car drove past her. The honker car.
Honker. Okay. No, I get it. The driver of the car that honked, the honker car, got it? He drove past her and gave her a not kind gesture.
Okay. And that's because as she explained it, she stopped at a yellow light instead of going through it. She followed the rule.
That's right. Which caused the law. Which caused the guy behind her to have to stop for 30 seconds and that ruined his day. Sure did. So to make himself feel better, he drove past a newly driving 16 year old girl. That's right. And gave her a crude gesture. Isn't that fun? And then you made her go home and cry.
And I hope you're listening and I hope you're proud of yourself. Yeah. Stop at a yellow light. And remember, there's new drivers on the road.
I was going to run that red light. Yeah. He said. Yeah.
I was going to disobey the law. That's right. Well, listen, she'll be stronger for it. That's what I told her. I said, listen, there are times I go, it's kind of like a rite of passage. I mean, in a way, you've successfully gotten your first crude gesture. It happens to all of us. Right.
And got to taking care of early. It's not going to be the first time. Or the last time. That's right.
It's not going to be the last time. Right. And guess what? What?
That's right. Tell me. You could be, I told her, I said, you could be doing everything right. You could be driving terribly wrong. You're going to get that gesture. However, whatever you're doing, right or wrong driving, there's going to be somebody that you make upset.
Yeah, because you're not in their car and you don't know their day. And that guy apparently had somewhere real important to be. Yeah, he was very important.
That's right. So important that he had to be mean to a newly driving 16-year-old girl. I wonder what kind of hunk or car he was driving. Probably some stupid.
Probably a lifted truck. Did she say it was at all? I don't know.
Yeah. I assume it was a truck. It feels like in the story it's a truck. And he probably rolled coal or something stupid. Oh, yeah. Because he's cool.
We're just so mad at you. Yeah, that was cool. Hey, don't do that. Be a better human, you know?
Yeah, be nice to my 16-year-old and all other 16-year-olds. And everyone else on the road. And everyone else. Just chill out. You're going to get there when you get there. It's going to be okay. You don't need to run lights.
Sorry she stopped at a yellow like you're supposed to. Yeah. All right. Anyway, here's hoping nobody else gets that gesture today. Calm down out there. Settle down. I was making dinner last night and I realized that you and I have differing plating.
Okay. I guess that's probably the term for it. You actually do like to plate everybody's dishes. And you like to make it look nice. You like to put it on the nice plates. You just make it look nice. I don't always like when you plate my food because you often give me too much.
You're welcome. The kids don't like when you plate their food because you give them too many vegetables. Or meat. Or the things that they don't like. Right. Because I want them. Here's the thing. When I'm cooking, it's an experience to eat it.
You should have all the parts. If it's got like last night, it's got sun dried tomatoes. It's got it was a spaghetti with like a cream sauce and then it had like half like all of tomatoes or grape tomatoes.
Right. So it had it had all of this like great flavors and then it had like a cilantro or parsley. It was parsley. And it had cheese and toasted almonds. And if you skip any of it, you miss the full flavor that the person who designed the recipe I agree. intends for you to eat. I totally understand.
So for me, I'm like, I want you to try all the flavors so that you can go, this meal is really good because if you only grab parts, you go, this is pretty bland. Well, no kidding. You left all the flavor off of it. I wish you had a crunch to it.
What do you think the almonds are for? Like, you know what I'm saying? So I feel like when I finish cooking, I plate it so that it has the right sauce. It has all the ingredients. It's it's I try to be good with proportions of the pasta with the protein with the vegetables. So everybody has a chance to taste the full flavor of the of the meal.
That's why I do it. And I go, here's your plate. Here's your plate. If it's a rice dish like we made butter chicken, that's easy because you get a scoop of rice. So I'll dole out a scoop of rice and everybody come grab your bowl and spoon on your stuff. Some people take more sauce.
Some people take more chicken. That's the way it goes. But you get the flavors. But then I'm like, don't forget the yogurt. Don't forget the, you know, all the little toppings. You got to have all the stuff on there to make it taste good.
It's just the way it goes. Well, and I am of the mind because I don't like a lot of meat. And so I don't like when my dish gets plated because I go, I would prefer to have picked the smaller bites of chicken. I understand. And I try to make the chicken as small as I can for you while still not making it non-existent for everybody else. I appreciate it.
I do. But last night I just kind of left everything in the pan and I put the toppings on the side and I said, come and get it. Right. It was buffet style. It really, that is, I do a buffet style dish up. You are a, let me present this on a pretty plate for you.
That's right. And I go, because I know the kids aren't going to like that and I would rather just have them come dish up their own plates. So I don't have to hear them complain.
Usually they scoot the broccoli to the side and then I go, you should at least try a bite. Right. It's fine.
It's a vegetable. That's kind of what we do at our house. Right. And a lot of people may say that's uncouth. Why is that uncouth? I don't know.
They may think that that's not very etiquette, but our, our family dinner table is very much like, does anybody want my chicken? Right. I'll have that. Can I have your tomatoes?
Yep. We eat off each other's plates quite often. You specifically, like if the kids are like, I'm not really feeling this. And I go, well, don't throw it away.
I'll take it for leftovers tomorrow. Right. Like that's more what happens. You know, we had this happen the other day with the butter chicken on Monday and it went into the microwave in a bowl because somebody was going to eat it later.
Yeah. I came home on Tuesday. It was sitting on the counter because somebody needed the microwave and it was still in there. And I went, well, that got forgotten. So I threw that away. And I was like, man, that was a whole leftover. That would have been good.
That would have been so good. Yeah. But it got left in the microwave for many hours.
Totally forgot all about it. I went, oh, that was just supposed to be like, keep that in the microwave for about an hour. Yeah. Like, oh, I'm going to come back to that.
But it never, that was the end of it. Gross. Anyway, I don't think there's a wrong way to do it. I just. No, it's fine. It's just how you do it and how I do it. Come and get it or get what I've made for you.
That's right. Look at the beautiful presentation I have. I do like to make the sauce look nice.
You do. I like to sprinkle the toppings on so they look good. And it always looks great. You always do a great job.
I am more of a, here it is. Oh, I do that with burgers even. I made burgers the other day and I'm like, here's your basket with your burger. Put your thing, put the little monogram in the bun.
You did. It's ridiculous. It tastes the same. I just like to make it look pretty. I don't know. Whatever. Come and get it. Ring a bell next time.
Get a triangle. I'll just go. Dinner bell. Like that. That's what that means. That means come.
Whooo. Sounds like you're calling in the pigs. Settle up to the trough.
Yeah, you're calling in the pigs. So Mother's Day is Sunday. That's right. So everyone ears up. Ears up. Yeah. That means listen up.
No, I know what it means. What do we, what do we got to cover? I'm just like kids and partners and listen up. Take care of your moms. And wives.
And wives. Okay, got it. You got to. You got to take care of them. I know.
Okay. And husbands, don't make your wife take care of your mother. She's your mother. Oh. Interesting. Ears up.
Ears up. Okay, there is a mom on TikTok and she's going viral because she is saying Mother's Day is an all it's cracked up to be and husbands and dads are almost certain to get it wrong. So she's suggesting to not set your expectations so high. Yeah. And to also.
I like where this lady's heads at. And to also just pick something small, pick one small thing. Yeah. That's going to make you happy and just do it yourself.
Oh. So if it's like taking an hour to go read or taking a bubble bath or just pick one small thing and just say, Hey, I'm going to go do that thing and it's Mother's Day. So I get to and just take care of it yourself. Dig it.
Like where her heads at. Okay, but here's some dad, some dad advice. She said. Dad advice.
Make sure that your wife feels that she's loved and appreciated on Mother's Day. And it wouldn't be so bad of you to throw in a disclaimer that says, Hey, I'm probably not going to get it all right, but I do want you to know that we do appreciate you. Oh. Oh. She does say that moms in general do set expectations very high because kids don't necessarily do things the way that moms typically do things. That's absolutely correct. So she said, just lower your expectations just a bit.
It doesn't have to be the best day ever, but it also shouldn't make or break you. I like it. Don't put so much pressure on it. Pick one small thing and just do it yourself. I look, you can have all the good intentions in the world and then still get it wrong. So, you know, it's like, that's the pressure part where I go like the expectation doesn't always necessarily meet the result because maybe the expectation isn't well communicated. And for me, speaking as just myself, not generalizing for other dudes, it's a challenge to know is what I've come up with or what I have in my head going to reach that level without having any idea of what that level is.
And if you don't know, you can't aim for it. And as a person who's a fixer, like I will be like, hey, I didn't know that that was the thing. I would have done that, but I didn't know. And now you're upset that I didn't do that thing that you saw on Instagram that someone else got. Maybe you should have sent that to me and I would have made that perfect. I just feel that sometimes I do send you that stuff. And then I go, hmm, I've sent it. Yeah.
But then there's other mixed signals in there. Like, is this a funny video? Are you trying to be like, look at how dorky this is? Or is that like you really want that picnic? Or are you just saying how many clues do I have to give to you to say I want that? No, I know you want the picnic.
I need to be a hot button. You sent me this romantic picnic with a blanket out on a hill. I don't even know where that is. I was supposed to ever meet that expected. That guy made homemade bread. I can't do it.
Soup kit. Yes, you can. I know I could. I see I see the attention and detail that you put into this garden and this watering system. And I look at that and I go, there is no way that you can mess up Mother's Day because I see the attention and the detail that you put into the stuff that you're passionate about. But I'm so busy with this other stuff. I'm not a priority. Got it.
That's not it. You're just one of many priorities. Oh, what number priority do you think I am? Number one, top of the list.
Because I'm not a fool. Number one, make it feel like it. Make it feel like it. Got to find that spot in that Instagram. Really?
You sent me that picnics. Yeah, I don't know where that is. Josh, it doesn't have to be that spot. It feels like it's got to be that spot with the proper golden hour sunset. You know a lot of beautiful spots.
I do. Take me to a spot and have a picnic. Won't that sound nice? Yes. I don't know how many more hints I need to give.
Just a couple. You really got hung up on that picnic. Because you bought a picnic set a couple of years ago. Because I'm getting ready to execute the epic picnic. When's that going to come?
Don't rush it. You said one nice thing. What did I say to me yesterday? What was it?
You were... You wrote it down. It must have been a big deal. It is a big deal. What did I say?
No. You haven't said anything nice that nice in a long time. Alrighty. You happen to be at the nursery without me, I might add. And I said stop going to the nursery without me.
You literally did say that. Because you've gone how many times now? Three times?
Probably. You know that I like going to the nursery. Quit working.
I'm going when I'm off work. I'm sorry. Someone has to be the breadwinner around here. Whoa. Wow. Okay. You said... Did you pull it up?
Yeah. Because I screenshotted it. Because I said I got to save that forever. Forever? Yeah. You said I got some cucumbers and tomatillos.
Yeah. Also, this little flower reminds me of you. I also got okra. Hold on. Before you get into the compliment, I got okra. Okra wasn't on our initial list, but I know that you like a pickled okra. I do like pickled okra. So I went, you know, maybe let's grow okra. Uh-uh.
What do you think? Okra. Yeah. That's what I said in my head. And then I put it in the cart. Now I'm going to say that every time. Okra. Okra. Right.
Do you like it? It's okra. I know.
Yeah. I, that played in my head and I went, yeah, I better get some. So I grabbed the okra plant and put that in there.
And then as I was wandering around, I saw this little blue flower. It's called a felicia. I'll tell you the official name. OK. It's called a felicia felicia felicity blue.
Yeah. And it looks purple in the picture. And which made me kind of sad because it's a really cool blue color. Yeah. And when I saw it, it's a dainty little flower.
Yeah. It's rather small. But it opens up and it just points to the light. Like it's just really cool. It is super cute. A really cool tiny flower. And then you found out that it like kind of mounds.
It gets into like a cool, like it'll fill up a whole pot. Yeah. If you give it a chance to. It's super cute. Yeah.
Anyway, I saw it and I said, hey, this little flower reminds me of you, by the way. Yeah. You said it's a felicia and the camera didn't fully capture the blue. It's adorable. It is.
Look at it. It is very cute. What made it remind you of me? That it was simple and it was just dainty and cute. Oh, stop it.
But then you said, oh, that's so sweet. Now I need it. So I bought it for you.
Yeah. I don't know why you just didn't already have it in your cart to buy. And well, now I do. Well, and then later on, I went to another store, different nursery. And I said, look at that tree you love. I do love that tree. I went back to that store and found that tree again. And I looked at it for a really long time. And I said, I don't know where to put it. And it is a lot of money.
And if it's there next week when I have more money. Then you may you may bring that tree home. Yeah. OK. Because I really like that tree. Anyway, thanks for saying something nice. You know, it happens time to time, time to time. I'm glad you screenshot it so you'll remember it forever. Well, listen, they're rare these days, the compliments.
So I gotta save them when I get them. OK. Tuck it away and say, oh, remember when he was nice? Whatever. We're going to the nursery tomorrow. You and me together. OK. OK. OK. Okra? Okra? Oh. When was the last time you made toast?
Oh, I don't even know. I've made an English muffin not that long ago, but I I've it's been a while. OK. Toast is so good. It's fine. I'll look. I look it's it's OK. OK. I prefer an English muffin or a bagel.
There's a hack. Oh, OK. Making its rounds about toast. Do we need do we need a toast? Is there a problem with toast?
Are we? He says if you've toasted it and then it gets a little bit soggy while it's sitting there, then stand it up after it's been toasted. OK. So.
But why? If you've got air flow. If you got two pieces of toast. Yeah, no, I get it. You put them together like a tent.
OK. Yeah, that's what I had pictured in my head. He says it lets the toast to breathe. So it maintains the crunch. Flat toast can trap steam underneath. Steam.
And that steam will make your toast soggy. And if you'll know. What do I know? When you pick up the toast. Yeah, there is steam on the bottom.
There's condensation on the bottom of your plate. I think it's brilliant. I don't know why I didn't think about this. OK. I love toast. So have you ever seen a camp toast maker?
Yes, I actually have. What does it look like? It looks like a tent. It looks like, well, a four sided tent. But yeah, it looks like a tent because you just lean the toast on it and then it gets hot in the middle and then you turn your toast over and you can toast it over a fire. So that's how a camp toaster works. Is by using this exact same leaned up bread philosophy to toast it. So I get it.
But also I just don't care that much. And when I go to a restaurant and they're like, oh, it comes with toast, I'll get sourdough if I have a choice. If it'll either be sourdough toast or an English muffin. If they don't have English muffin as a choice, I'll get sourdough toast. And they usually it comes cut in triangles.
Yes. Over buttered and soft. It is usually pretty soft. I'll eat it.
Oh, no, it's fine. But that's the same kind of toast you get when you order something with gravy on it. It's the same soft toast from a restaurant. Like, yeah, I'm having something with country gravy. And they're like, it comes with a side of toast.
I go, great. But then they give you that bowl of jams. You get all of the jams.
And then you have to decide which jam am I going to use? Mixed berry. Or grape.
Mixed berry. There's one answer. Because you're not 12. Only 12 year olds eat grape jam and ketchup. Wrong. Grape jam is delicious.
It's fine. But have you had mixed berry? Yep. Or strawberry? Yep. Both better choices.
I like all of them. I there's no hierarchy of jam. What about that?
They have that plum jam homemade plum jam. Is top of your list. Top.
Top dog. I like that peach jam that we've been getting lately. I like that. The peach jam. Yeah. From our friend.
Yes. I had that peach jam at the art show. I want that jam. I don't know where you get that jam.
On the internet. It's peach and amaretto. Oh. And it is so good. Delicious. It is so good. I've been dreaming about it. I dream about plum jam. No you do.
I do. My sister's homemade plum jam. Yeah. Oh my gosh.
It's so good. Does she have a plum tree? Where's she getting her plums?
Couldn't tell you. Stranger plums. She's thieving them from the neighbors. Now I think she gets them from her mother-in-law. She's thieving them from the neighbors. Doesn't matter. I don't even care where the plums come from. It's so good.
Anyway, try some. Tent toast. Tent toast. Don't you want it?
Not really. I'll have an English muffin. No, I'll never pick it. With biscoff butter on it. I'll never pick an English muffin over toast. Toast. English muffin with biscoff butter or honey. Oh man. Toast. Like almond butter and honey. Forget about it.
It's so good. Would you rather this or that? Would you rather be able to travel everywhere? Friday edition. For free? Okay. Would I rather be able to travel anywhere or everywhere?
Everywhere. Okay. Awesome.
Like it. Or eat everywhere for free. Travel. It's more expensive. Yeah, agreed.
Yeah. And I'll figure out what to eat when I'm there. I'll pay for the food. Yeah, no kidding.
Buy me all my gas and plane tickets and all of that. That's right. Yeah. Easy. That was easy. Got any more brainbusters over there? Nope. That was simple.
That one is simple. It wasn't Mother's Day themed. I was expecting to have a Mother's Day themed. I actually kind of forgot. Hold on.
You forgot it's Mother's Day. Hold on, hold on, hold on. Okay. I've got something. Let me find something.
Okay. I can't even believe it. I just am real surprised. I know me too.
You usually are on theme. Okay. Some of these are not so great. Okay. Well, I'll let you spend a minute. Here's a Mother's Day one.
Okay. Mother's Day, would you rather this or that? Would you rather you?
Pretend the other one didn't happen. Go ahead. Would you rather your kids be completely quiet for the day or have your kids help with all of the chores? Okay.
So I'm going to assume I'm a mom. I'm going to pick quiet for the day. Really? You want quiet kids? Because I feel like helping with the chores is more like what you would want now. You can get quiet time. The kids hang out in their rooms. Well, our kids are pretty quiet these days too.
That's what I'm saying. Like you would want the help with the chores. I would want them to help me with the chores, but it has to be like I want you to just do the chores.
I don't want to have to explain what chores need to be done. But you also want them done your way. Correct. Don't do it wrong or else I'm going to have to do it wrong. Exactly.
The right way. No, I get it. Exactly. Right. Do it to my standards.
That's high standard. And don't let me have to explain what needs done. So that I feel is what you would want more than quiet time these days. Correct. Now when the kids were little and you had to be, you know, they were hanging on you and they were constantly like, absolutely the quiet time is probably the bigger priority.
Yes. But now that we have like 16 and 21 year old, it's like, yeah, could you help around? Could you help out around here? Little bit.
Somebody asked me the other day how you get your teenager to hang out with you. And I said, oh, bribes. Yeah. Who wants to get a treat? Yeah.
And weird they show up. Who wants to go get a Dutch bro's? Yeah. Oh, oh. Hanging out now, aren't we? Yeah. Oh, nice to see your face.
All right. So we got a two for on the Friday for would you rather this or that? Hey, what's up?
You still have nothing? Just confirming before I talk about something. I didn't want to overstep. No, no, no, I got nothing to talk about. Okay. Perfect. Perfect. Perfect. The full schedule for next years or this this falls NFL season is expected to be released next Wednesday.
Okay. These are some of the fun videos when the teams announced who they're playing against. I love when they do these schedule release videos. So I'm really excited. They should be coming out next week. News about a few games here and there have trickled out yesterday.
Netflix is expected to broadcast the week one game on Thursday, September 10th, between the 49ers and the Rams taking place in Australia. Yeah. Who cares about either of those?
I'm just telling you. That's a big deal for Netflix because the 49ers Ram game will be the first NFL game ever played in Australia, which is something to look forward to. But it's also, I mean, Netflix getting in on the NFL game is very interesting. And we have that one because there's so many times where we go, where can I watch the game? Because they're putting them all over the place now.
Yeah, they really are. Including Netflix. So we'll be able to watch that one, which I thought was kind of interesting. That is interesting.
Okay. I really want to know if the Vikings are ever going to play in Vegas. Well, next week you should be able to find out because you want to see Kirk Cousins, who's now in Vegas with Ashton Gentile, and you want to see the Vikings play because that's your team.
So you want to see the Vikings play at home against the Raiders. Yeah, wouldn't that be cool? It would be cool.
And then it'd be like, who am I voting for? You're just there to have a good time. I'm just there to have a good time. And listen, that is my theme. I'm here to have a good time.
I'm just here to have a good time. It would be fun to see an NFL game. Or if the Bengals were playing in Vegas because Beck is a big Bengals man.
That's right. And I know he wants to go see a game really bad. And he's very excited about the team lineup this year as it happens every year. And then you just being a fan's hard sometimes.
It really is. Because you go like, I thought we had it this year and it falls apart. And then, you know, it might even be a preseason game. And here, let me tell you why I'm not mad about a preseason game.
Say. It's warmer there in September and August. But if it's in Vegas.
Yeah, I know. It's going to be a warm year round. I mean, they still get weather and it still gets cold. It's the desert. They get weather. Yeah.
Yeah. Weather is like everywhere. Do they have an outdoor stadium though? Yeah, it's open.
The Allegiant Stadium. Do they have a lid on it? I don't know the answer to that. A lid? No, roof. Interesting.
No, it does have a roof. Who would you want to see play in the NFL? What game would you want to see? I don't really have a preference.
I used to, but anymore I'm like, yeah, okay. I'll just go and have a good time. No, you can't. That's my theme.
You can't also have that theme. I can totally have a good time. I'm just here to have a good time. And I'm having a good time. We're having a good time.
There's a comedian named Rusty who has that as his little tagline. Well, we're having a good time. Yes. Yeah. So you just have to tell people. Yeah, we're having a good time. You gotta remind people that you're having a good time.
So yeah, Allegiant Stadium does indeed have a roof. Hey, let's get a club. What kind of club? We're having a good time club. Oh yeah, we're having a good time. You're not allowed to join if you're gonna be cranky.
Yeah, no, if you're not having a good time, you stay home. Get out. Yeah.
Only. We're here to have a good time and that's it. Yeah, bring your smiles.
Well, next week we'll have a good idea if there's gonna be a game that is of interest. And then we gotta figure out how to get some decent tickets for not, you know, arms and legs. We gotta find a way to do that and have that be affordable. Right.
Because we gotta take four of us. That's gonna be expensive. That's gonna be expensive. Sheesh.
Maybe we'll between now and then we'll like know somebody who's like, actually I'm not using the tickets for that game. Here you go. Oh, sweet.
Wouldn't that be something? Who are we gonna know? I don't know. We gotta get to know somebody. We gotta get to know Kirk Cousins.
That's it. Kirk, put us on your guest list. Kirk.
Kirk, you got family tickets? Dude, I've been such a fan for so long. I mean, a handful of years. Every year you become more and more a Kirk Cousins fan. And listen, Kirk, family can't make it to every game. Right, Kirk.
We just need four. Kirk, you my boy. I mean, look, we're here to see you, but also to see the team that you left. But also... And we'll hang out with Julie and the kids. We're just having a good time, Kirk. Don't you want us to have a good time? Like Kirk listens. I mean, maybe. If you're listening, Kirk, happy Friday.
Kirk Cousins, come on. Make sure Julie has a good Mother's Day, you know? And also, don't make her take care of your mom. Yeah. Yeah. You got it now.
