Full show transcript:
We are now officially two weeks, what are you doing? You're making all this noise, you're dropping a box, you're clatter, clatter, clatter, and then we start recording and you grab tape.
I know, I'm sorry. I just keep seeing dog hair and I don't have a lint brush and so I'm just using tape. Okay. Okay, sorry, go ahead. I'm ready.
We are now officially two weeks behind on Saturday Night Live.
Oh no, dude. I know. No, we didn't watch the Bad Bunny episode and then, you know, whatever, I've seen just Weekend Update because, oh no, that wasn't the Bad Bunny one, we didn't watch the Bad Bunny one, we missed the Amy Poehler one. Yes, and that's the one I really want to see.
Right, that's the one that I was thinking of and I did see as I was scrolling a clip from Weekend Update that had come up.
Yeah, I saw some clips of that too. Because Amy and Tina and Seth were on there and so I saw that clip. But that's it, I haven't seen any of the sketches, I haven't seen any of the other stuff. Sabrina Carpenter was on this Weekend and she's great. She's super great and she's fun and she's like this big. And anyway, so I'm excited to see that one.
So I think that'll be cool. She was the musical guest and the host. Oh, double duty. Yeah, exactly. Well, as a lover of Saturday Night Live, clear back from the beginning. Sure. I'm all in.
I know, we're just behind. We got to get caught up. Let's get caught up. We're behind on so many things. Well, here's what happened. We got rid of streaming services, a lot of them. And so now we have to like watch everything on YouTube.
I know, we have to wait.
So we have to wait, yeah. And that doesn't help, but anyway. We'll get it caught up here one of these days, I think. I'm excited to see it though. Me too.
Maybe tonight, Josh. Sure.
You know what I have going on tonight? A lot of things. A lot of things. This is going to take me a lot of time. Kate, maybe tomorrow night. Yeah, maybe, except you know what's tomorrow night? Oh yeah. The culmination of the things I'm working on tonight. Okay.
So maybe Wednesday. No, because I got something on Wednesday.
Okay, well, maybe we'll be three weeks behind here real quick. Oh man. Shall we start the show? Let's start it. Well, I don't know about you, but I sure feel rested.
I don't think I believe that.
Yep. I got so much rest. I wasn't awake at all last night. I went to bed early. I woke up bright eyed and bushy tailed this morning. Did you? Mm-hmm. Yes, ma'am. You look it.
What does that mean? You look bright eyed and bushy tailed.
Are you saying that I don't? I'm saying that you do. I know what you're saying, but what do you mean? Do you mean that I don't? Do I look tired?
I mean, honestly, is anybody rested after a weekend? No. You know why? Because we have to spend two days running all the errands we didn't get to during the week.
Cleaning all the house, doing all the chores, going to all the sports activities our kids are involved in. Right. You're never rested because you have two days off that you have to cram in a bunch of stuff. Yeah.
It's nonsense. I'm not rested.
No, no one ever is. And then we wake up and we go, oh, I guess we got to go back to work again. Cool beans.
Cool beans. That was what I woke up this morning saying. I went, ah, cool beans. Back to it then.
Yeah, exactly. Those were the two things I said.
Cool beans. Back to it.
I was talking to Emery yesterday and I said, there's just, life is so strange sometimes, isn't it? Because we spend 40 hours, sometimes people spend more. 40 hours of our week doing things we don't really want to do. With people we don't want to see, and all we want to do is hang out and do the things we want to do with the people we want to see.
Yeah, but you got to have that money.
But we got to spend most of our time with people we don't like.
To get that money so you can pay the bills.
I know. Yeah. What a gas, huh? What a gas. What are you this morning?
Cool beans. What a gas. I don't know what year you woke up in, but it's a cool one. Thank you. Yeah. Well, we're here, we're in the studio. It is Monday morning. I'm Josh Shantel. This is Wake Up Classy 97.
What else do we know? I don't know. What I do know is that we're going to make it fun. That's true. Because I do like hanging out with you. Yeah. So, at least there's that.
I'll tell you, if you're awake this morning with us, big deal coming up at 7.45. What's the haps, perhaps? Well, what do we do at 7.45? What year is it?
I don't know. What time did you say? 7.45. 7.45. Mark that on your calendar. Mark that on your alarm clock.
Why do we do at 7.45?
Oh, kid smarts. And what are we giving away this week? Oh, a big cool prize. It is. Are we saying right now?
Oh, we've said.
Okay. We should keep saying it. It is Trans-Siberian Orchestra tickets.
That is correct. 7.45, kid smarts this morning. Our grown-up contestant will have a chance to win two tickets to Trans-Siberian Orchestra.
Be there or be square.
If I'm not mistaken, and I better double check this before I misspeak. So I'm going to double check it. But there may be more than just that. But I'll double check before I get too excited. I'll double check. That's probably smart. Fancy. Definitely a pair of tickets to Trans-Siberian Orchestra.
As the good kids say. Perhaps more. Yeah, that's true. Okay. Sounds swell.
All right. Good morning. Good morning. Now listen, I'm no scientist, but I'm pretty sure this is not how it works. There is a woman who decided that she wanted to have a baby with blue eyes.
Okay. She's pregnant. She is in Russia. And she recently has gone viral for claiming that she underwent an eye color change procedure because she is convinced it will give her baby girl blue eyes.
No. I'm pretty sure that's not how it works. That's what I said.
I haven't heard if it worked yet. But. But apparently she thinks it's going to alter the DNA and that baby's going to have blue eyes.
Yeah, guess what? Because it's not just your DNA in there, bud. Yeah. So it's going to just up to fate. Not up to fate. It's up to science.
Couple other comments here. Yeah. Somebody said, I learned German so my children would speak it when they're born. Yeah.
That one checks out.
Yeah. I mean, the same way they speak English, you just got to only speak German.
And they will only know German. Yeah. But if, yeah.
That's it. That's how it works. It works. They learn the language they grow up around. Correct. You know.
But if you teach them. That doesn't affect genetics. All kinds of stuff. You could teach them English, German and sign language. You could teach them. Sure. All kinds of stuff. They could be a child piano prodigy. Sure.
Somebody said, I had laser hair removal so that my kid would be born hairless. Like a rat? I guess. Like a hairless rat. Yeah.
So people are now like a lady. You don't get how this works. Right. Yeah.
That's what the comments are saying. But that's something. I didn't know that you could think that thought. But now today I knew. I did not know that.
What is she going to do when the baby comes out and it comes out brown-eyed?
I'll tell you what I really hope she doesn't do. What? Give the kid color changing eyes. That's what I'm afraid of. Yeah. Because that's really not.
And whoever performs that surgery, doctor. Yeah. Don't do that. Unethical. Yeah. Do not do that. There is always, I was always envious of brown eyes. Oh. I always liked brown eyes.
Yeah. I was born with a blue hazel eye. And I like them now. I really love my eyes. But I always wanted brown eyes. And especially because there's not a song about blue-eyed girls, is there? Oh, I'm sure there is. Book it up.
Songs about blue eyes. Yeah. I'm going to tell you, there's a lot behind blue eyes. Blue Eyes by Elton John. Oh. Blue Eyes Crying in the Rain from Willie Nelson. Ocean Eyes from Billie Eilish. Blueberry Eyes by Max and Suga.
Oh, of course. Yeah. None of those are by Van Morrison, are they? No.
So one brown-eyed song? Yeah. I don't know what to tell you. Songs about brown eyes. Yeah. Van Morrison Brown-eyed girl. Destiny's Child Brown Eyes. Don't It Make My Brown Eyes Blue. Oh. How does that count for both?
I don't know. Who sings that? Because I do know that.
I'll tell you who sings it. A newly born Russian baby girl. Don't It Make My Brown Eyes Blue. No. Who sang it originally? Yeah. Crystal Gale. Yeah.
Yeah, yeah, yeah. Yeah. She came to Idaho Falls last year. Is that right? That's right. She has very, I don't know anything about her. Here's what I know about her. Yeah. She has very, very, she's like late 70s, early 80s.
She's still touring. Yeah. Which always makes me wonder, do these people love it so much that they can't put the hat in the ring and say, all right, I'm done? Or do they?
Go on. Do they just desperately need the money so bad? They're like, I have to keep touring. Yeah, they owe the mafia. She has very, very long hair. Clear down to the floor.
No kidding. Yep. Ain't that something?
That's what I know about Crystal Gale. All right.
Well, thank you for sharing. I don't know if you saw the video. I sure did. I saw it a couple of different places late last week. Natalie Grabow is an 80 year old grandmother from Mountain Lakes, New Jersey who made history as the oldest woman to complete the Iron Man World Championship.
Whoa, I did not see this. Oh, it's so cool. How old is she? 80 years, 80 years old. They held it this year in Hawaii. She swam 2.4 miles in choppy ocean waves. She biked 112 miles.
Wow. And then had to run a full marathon after that, 26.2 miles. All while battling the humidity and hamstring injury. She toughed it out. She is an Iron Man. Pretty awesome. That is pretty awesome. She's an Iron Woman, excuse me. Well, it's called the Iron Man. I know, but come on.
World Championship.
Iron Person. Okay.
Whatever you need. She said, I am so happy and grateful that I can still race in this sport at my age. Triathlon allows me to feel strong both mentally and physically and it satisfies my competitive spirit. She also offered up some words of wisdom and encouragement. Would you like to hear those?
I would love to hear those. She said, if you are motivated and willing to work hard, it's never too late to take on a new challenge. Listen to your body, take time off when you need it and most importantly, just enjoy the journey.
That's good advice. That's very good advice. That's good advice for anything in life. Has lived a life. So she has the best advice to give.
Well done. Natalie, 80 year old grandmother from Mountain Lakes, New Jersey. And now the oldest woman to complete the Iron Man World Championship. Congrats.
The oldest woman or the oldest person? Oldest woman. Okay. So there has been an older gentleman who has completed.
It would seem that would be the way the verbiage works out. But I don't know. I didn't do the research. But congratulations. That's awesome. And it's good news.
Oh, does anything look different about me today?
Does anything look different about you?
Yeah. Oh, let me get a good look at you. All right. Let me put myself together really quickly. Okay. Does anything look different? What is all that wrestling? Oh, I don't know.
Is it the wrestling I should be taking note of? No. Just look at it. I can't see anything with your face. Okay. Walk over here. Let me get a good look at you. All right. I'm going to stand up. Okay. What am I looking at?
Oh, nothing in particular.
Why are you pushing your collar up? Is it what you're wearing? Yeah. What about it? Oh, let me tell you.
What is it? Puffy vest is back. Baby. Listen. You listen. No.
You listen. I don't understand the point of a vest. Now you go.
All right. I will go. In the 90s, there was a puffy vest trend. Sure. And I got a puffy vest. And I loved that puffy vest. And I kept it for until like three years ago.
Maybe even like just last year. Are you sure you don't have it? Josh, I have looked everywhere for it. And every winter I go, oh, where is that puffy vest? Every time I would wear that puffy vest, you would be like, oh, there comes that puffy vest.
I have a whole bucket of life jackets if you want to wear one.
No. So then I got to the point where I was like, well, everybody makes fun of me for wearing this. So maybe I should, I don't remember getting rid of it, but I feel like I did because I can't find it anywhere. I can't find it anywhere.
You haven't gone through everything in the shed. It could be out there.
That's true. It could be out there. But lo and behold, this weekend, Emory and I were doing some shopping. Puffy vest section. Oh, man. And I said, look it. I think I need a new puffy vest.
Well, let me get a good look at it. Is it big? What do you mean? Is it big? The other one was big. It is pretty big. What? Look how tall the collar is. It's clear up to your ears. Yeah. Is that good? I don't know. Do you explain a vest to me? What do you mean? What's the point? It looks cute. All right. Okay. I can get behind an apparel thing.
It keeps my shoulders warm.
Right. What about your extremities?
Oh, well, I have long sleeves for that. Here's the thing. I spend most of my time inside. Yeah. Where it's warm. Okay. So I don't necessarily need to keep my extremities warm. You have a fine argument.
I'm not mad about your argument. Thank you. I just still don't get it.
I was just thinking my other vest, the one that I think I got rid of, was double-sided. So it would be gray on one side and then you can flip it and it was black on the other.
I don't know that it was reversible. It was. Settle down. You. I won't.
Okay. Pretty exciting day, right? I mean, I guess.
I picked it up. You're clearly excited. So I'm excited for you. And it was on sale. Wow. I love a deal. I know.
I'm going, I'm going. Every goes, dad is going to hate that so much. And I said, I don't even care. Yeah. Because you love it. I'm buying this for me, not for dad. It's back, baby. Okay. You were a passenger princess this weekend. You were not looking forward to it.
I just, I'm a driver and I like to drive. And so it was, it was strange to be the passenger. How did you do? I'm going to tell you, I needed a pillow and a blanket. That would have helped.
No, because then you would have fallen asleep. And nobody likes a passenger who is asleep while they're driving.
I didn't fall asleep. The truck that I was riding in had its own climate. So I could be hot or warm, hot or warm, hot or cool, depending on what I needed. Fancy.
I also had heated seat, which was nice. I have that. I don't.
But, but I did for the weekend. Nice. Let's see. What else? It's uncomfortable.
Being the passenger? Yeah. No, it isn't. No.
And let me tell you why. Cause like my legs, when, when you're driving, your legs are doing stuff. Gas pedal, brake pedal. You got your feet, your feet are busy. And then when you're on the freeway and you got cruise control going, it's fine. Like you're just, you know, feet hanging out, but you're still kind of doing stuff. When I'm the passenger, I couldn't get comfortable. I can't cross my legs. There's no room for it. They're just like hanging. I'm like, this is what is happening. That was uncomfortable.
Okay. That's true. I do. Cause I, when I'm the passenger, I, I shift a lot because what do you do with your feet?
I agree with that. That was tough. I didn't like that part. I had snacks. I had brought some chips and jerky.
So we had that. You got to be in charge of snacks. Yeah. As the passenger. Yeah. And you got to be in charge of, are you going to listen to a podcast or are you going to listen to music?
No, we, we listened to football mostly. And then some, some playlist and it was fine. I didn't have an issue with, with that at all. Okay. That's, I think that's more of a husband, wife thing than it is the passenger and the driver thing. In my opinion. All right. Maybe I'm wrong about that, but I didn't feel like I was entitled to choose what we were going to listen to. All right. Other than that though, pretty fine. Yeah.
I kept trying to text you and then you would take forever to respond. And then I'd be like, you know, as a passenger, I feel like he should be more,
I felt like I, I answered pretty promptly.
Pretty, pretty dry text when you did track text too. Like a very one worded answer.
Oh, well, you're probably in conversation or something. Well, I feel like, hold on, I got to go look.
I just was like, oh, he's a passenger. So he'll be more able to text a little bit. Yeah.
Nope. Okay. Let's go back here. Let me look at the weekend because I, I feel like I did a bit of texting. A bit. Sure. Yeah. Like you had said, good luck today. That was nice of you. And then you, when did you send that?
So that was at three 26. And then a half a second later, you sent me a whole nother conversation. And then to be fair, I did not reply to that until 7pm. And that's because I was out of signal range. Okay. And then, and that was on Saturday.
Okay. That's fair. But I was like, oh, he's a passenger so he can communicate with me. Yeah.
Well, then at seven o'clock, I started hitting you up and I, we had a whole conversation all the way. And then while I was at dinner,
conversation, I'm not saying you ignored me. I'm just saying in the, in the times that I thought you were just driving and I would text you, it took a minute for you to get back to me. And I'd be like, what are you, you're just, you're just passenger-ing. And maybe you were in conversation. I didn't credit that. So my apologies.
Oh, it's fine. Nothing to apologize about. I didn't know I upset you on my text.
Um, you were worried about being the passenger princess. You thought you were going to get bored. Did you get bored?
I got to do some sightseeing except that we were traveling in the dark often. And so things look differently in the morning when you're driving through areas than they did at night.
When you're the passenger and you're driving at night, you got a, you got a second set of eyes for deer.
We'll talk about that. Okay. Well, we can talk about that now if you want. Whatever you want to do. There was a lot of deer on the drive home and a raccoon and the deer were crazy. What do you mean? They were in the road. At one point there was a deer. I could have reached out my window and smacked it.
I mean, it was so close to the side of the truck. Scary. And then as we kept going, came over crest of a hill and there were like four deer playing in the road.
What are you doing? That's a terrible place to be playing rain deer slamming on the brakes and there's a car coming up the other way up the hill and we're like trying to like tell them there's deer up here. I don't know how they missed them as well. They were in the road and then few miles later down the road, a raccoon across the road.
And we're like, he's got places to be. And then a little ways down the road, the closest the deer was on my side. Another one in the middle of the road and my cousin JR, who's driving is like, I could have reached out and smacked that deer.
They were so in the road. Because they carried lime. There were a lot. Only if they have like been around it. I don't think they just like, oh, I have. Yeah, I know. But don't take a chance. You don't know who's been around limes and who hasn't. That's not where it comes from. I know, Josh.
I know. But anyway, yeah, it's scary, very scary. I don't know if it's because of the time of the year. It's hunting season stuff's going on. So they're like, I'm not going to be in the woods because there's hunters in there. So they go to the roads.
I don't know what the deal is. There were so many deer in the road. So if you're out and about in the woods, be careful because there's deer in the roads and they for some reason just stand there. Like what's up? I'm in the road. I'm a car. This is my territory. Yeah, I don't know. It was wild. Anyway.
You survived passenger princessing. I did. Congrats.
I prefer driving still, but I did survive.
You did it. Yeah. Good job. Good job, bud.
So I don't know how it happened, but apparently on my weekend trip, chicken was on the menu. Okay. I rolled into town. First place we went to eat in Salt Lake. Guess where you already know because I sent you a picture and you said, what is that? And I said, this is delicious food. And it was raising canes. Had some canes chicken and you said, ew.
Yeah, I did say, ew. So then I had to explain why you don't like it. That's because you don't like meat. Okay. That's the fact because it's good chicken, but you don't like chicken. I like their toast. Okay. That's fine.
But I'm not going to go there for the toast. I'm not going to go there for their toast. Good toast. I mean, it's fine toast. Delicious toast. I think whatever. The fries are good.
Everyone knows how I feel about this. And the chicken's awesome. It's the chicken of the in and out of the chicken world. So overrated. I was very excited to have canes. And then went about the day, Saturday night, rolled back into town and said, you know where we should eat. I know a spot. And then I sent you a picture from there and you said, what is this? And I said, it's art. And then I sent you a picture of my cup and then you were mad at me.
I was mad at you because I actually really do love that place.
That's the Houston hot chicken.
That place is delicious.
It's very good. What did you get? Very good. I got the sandwich with the cheese on it because I'm a fat guy.
I liked when I went there, when you and I went there, I get their fusion fries.
Yeah. It was delicious. It was very good. It was very, very good.
I do like that place. That place I was mad about that you went to.
Had breakfast. Chicken. It wasn't chicken. An egg. It was an egg. So it doesn't count as chicken. That was the question.
Is it taste like chicken? It tastes like an egg. Okay. Well then it's. But it came from a chicken. I get it. But it doesn't taste like chicken. I think you're fine on that one.
So I didn't have chicken for every meal? Correct. And then I had a turkey sandwich later. But it was still, no, it was, it was pretty tasty actually. Thanks for asking.
Stupid joke.
I'm going to tell you the sandwich that I had for breakfast. I, it wasn't that great. And I'm, and I'm sad that I got it. Why? Well, it was really lackluster and I thought I'd ordered something else. And so when it came out and I went, I opened it up and I looked at it and I went, this isn't it.
This isn't what I wanted, but it's what I had. I got, we went to that Einstein. Place.
Yeah. Which you've gone to. I've only been there like one other time. So I, I didn't know what to order. And I felt like the lady was rushing me a little bit and there were people behind me. And so I was like, I got a move.
And so I kind of made a quick decision. And, and the sandwich that I got was okay. It was eggs and cheese and it had bacon and Chipotle. I wish it had a sausage.
Um, you probably could have just asked for a sausage.
Well, I felt so rushed.
Did you not look at the menu beforehand? Like before? Oh, I always do that. I know you do. As the passenger princess, you have that luxury on the way to the restaurant. Let me check out their menu really fast.
There was, it was football. I didn't have time. On your phone. Yeah. I know. I was looking at my fantasy team.
Oh, well, that's on you, bud. There were points happening. Sorry. I had stuff to do. That is all of that's on you.
It was a Europe game again, early in the early in the morning. So I had to, I had to get things taken care of anyway. It's fine. I feel like I had a lot of chicken. You must really love chicken. It's okay.
I really like Keynes. It was delicious and Houston hot was so good. But the egg was not it.
I wish I had something else. There was a guy in the restaurant who had ordered after us and he was like, this place any good? I went, yeah, it's okay.
What, a Houston hot chicken?
No, no, no. The bagel place. Oh, yeah. And he was like, well, that's not like a really strong review. And I said, I said, I've only eaten here one at a time. I said, but it's breakfast and it's better than some other options. So, you know, you're here getting a fresh hot breakfast. Enjoy. I don't work here. Why are you talking to me?
Because you needed an honest review.
I need something other than chicken, I think is what I need. So I'm going to find some different kind
of, well, I guess what's on the menu for this week, the night couple of days, chicken.
Yes, chicken.
Okay. You have some news to share.
Well, I mean, the way you say it like that, it sounds scary. It's not, it's not scary news. It's a big news for anybody who's been following along with my adventures over the past month or so. I've been trying to catch four fish. And it's, I'm going to start by saying it's a little bittersweet because I set out on this adventure with my cousin.
And we have traveled a lot of miles across a lot of different parts of Utah to be able to complete the Utah cutthroat slam. And to be fair, we don't have like a deadline on it. So it isn't like it's done. You missed the chance.
Right. But you made it feel like there was a deadline.
Well, we were like, I got it. We set a goal to get it done in 2025. Okay. Because in 2026, we want to do the Wyoming cut slam. Okay. And so we're trying to knock out Utah so we can do Wyoming next year. It's kind of the goal. Got it.
Right. So, so we set out a few weeks ago, we got three of the four and this weekend we traveled to get the fourth. I had scouted some river area that I thought was going to be productive and we decided we were going to travel to there. We stayed in a very bougie hotel as we both called it in Park City on Friday night. It was very nice. He is like a platinum elite something, something, something.
Yeah, I know. So like they gave us water when we checked in fresh cold water. That's a perk. Not everybody gets that.
She had a special little fridge that she went and I said, Hey, It was like, I don't know, 10 o'clock or something when we checked in. It was late. Everything we've done has been late night. And so we went to check in and I said, is the hot tub still going? And she's like, yes, but it closed at nine. And I went, oh, well, that helps me not at all. She's like, it opens at nine in the morning. And I went, I plan on being gone. But okay, thank you. So no hot tub for me, which was a bummer in the bougie hotel.
I was excited for that. But let's go through a couple of things that I know to be true. Fish live in very beautiful places.
That is very true. And the air is thin at 10,000 feet, which is where we were fishing. In both of these locations, we were very, very high altitude. And when you're in your waders trying to walk around, you get winded. And I'm like, why can't I breathe? Like, I didn't walk that far. And I'm like, oh, yeah, we're 10,000 feet.
And also waders are not comfortable to walk in. That's true. And those big old boots with the felt bottoms.
I don't have felt I have rubber bottoms. But yes. And then add to that, we were in snow up to our ankles. Really? For real? A lot of snow. We fished a good portion of yesterday in the snow.
You guys are hardcore. It was it was pretty cool. Because it was like 50 something degrees outside. So the snow was melting.
But it was ankle deep. It was pretty, pretty cool where we were at. So that was kind of fun. Everything we did was was late at night. And we ended fishing late at night, we arrived and checked into hotel late at night, we ended fishing the first night and went back to Utah, or back to Salt Lake Valley at night.
Every time we were doing stuff, it was like night and nothing's open. So it's like, we got to get dinner. Where are we going? Oh, let's figure it out. It's night. Okay.
This is late. This is fall and winter. Everything is night now. There is no sun. Yeah, I think you're right. We did stay when we stayed in West Valley, we stayed at a friend's house. The cats were our hosts because they were out of town. So we did hang out with a couple of cats for a little while, which was pretty good. As we were driving home, it was late again.
And we had a pretty big drive to get from where we were in Northern Utah up through Wyoming and back home to East Idaho. And there's nothing open in small towns. First of all, they have very few restaurants. The only two restaurants they have is an Arctic Circle and a subway and they're right next to each other, three different towns.
And they were all six were closed. And we went, what, what are we going to do? So we just powered through and came home. Okay, I didn't have dinner last night. I'm sorry. That's why I'm craving a breakfast sandwich. I just realized because I was just saying I want a breakfast sandwich. Ultimately, it ended like this.
Yes, I did indeed get the fish that I sought out to catch. The first place that I scouted that I thought we were going to go fish at, I caught three fish, all three brown trout.
And I got frustrated. The first one I was like, yeah, I caught a fish, like the skunk is worn off, we're good to go. I caught a fish. I was like, it's a really pretty brown trout took its picture, put it back. Next fish I caught another brown trout. I didn't even bother taking a picture. I just pushed him out of the net and went, go away, wrong fish. Third fish I caught another brown trout. And I went, get out of my net. I was, how am I frustrated about this? Exactly. I caught the wrong fish.
And you like catching your brown. I know. And they were really pretty. And I was really excited, but they were the wrong fish. And so I just went, go away. I want the right fish.
And then we decided we were going to stay and try again on, on Sunday yesterday. And I did get my fish in the snowy creek. I got my fish. My cousin JR did not get his fish.
That's why it is bittersweet. So I'm excited. I've completed the Utah cut slam, which is great.
Well, that's also good news for you again, because then that just means you get to go back. That's no pressure on you to fish.
You're absolutely right. 100%. I now get to fish for fun. He's got the pressure. He feels it. He's very frustrated.
No pressure. And I feel bad for him. Take your time.
I know. So we're trying to figure out if there's still time this year to make it happen, because these are all high altitude fish. And we know it snowed after we left, because we were driving through rain and snow and deer on the way home. So I don't know. I don't know. We got to put together a plan.
There may be another fishing trip in there. I just don't know when. There will be, because we've got to go get it done. I just don't know when. There's a place we can go to get this fish cleared down by price. It's by Moab. We can go there all the time.
It's nice and warm. I'll go down there. I'll go down there right now.
Right. So there may be a chance we can go and still get these things, but it's going to be even further if we have to go clear the price.
Well, congratulations, Josh. Thank you.
Getting that fish. Yeah. It was a long weekend to get one fish.
Now you submit your paperwork and get your coin.
My coin and my certificate. That is exactly right.
Ooh, the lulley.
It's worth it. I caught four fish. Congrats. I know. I appreciate that. Big day.
What was the noise you made when you caught it?
I went, oh yeah. Like that. I don't know what I did. I was very excited. I mean, I was very, very excited. And I hurried and took the picture and I put the fish back in the water and then I put my, I clipped the fly off because I'm saving them.
Nice. And so I clipped it off and I put it in my fly box and then I was kind of, no one else was around me when it happened. And then I saw JR walking up stream and I went big thumbs up. I went, yeah. And then it was disheartened. Yeah. It was fished until dark. We couldn't see the water when we left. It was dark. So not a bad day. No. A bittersweet one, but not.
While you were out fishing, the kids and I had a scary weekend.
Ooh, scary weekend. Yeah.
We were going to go through some haunted attractions and then Emery had had a rough day at work and so she fell asleep a little bit early and so we ended up just watching some scary movies. At some points, and we have old kids, but there's lots of times in your life where you go, am I making the right parenting decision?
Were some of these scary movies scary?
Well, I don't necessarily think they're scary, but then I go, ah, my daughter's only 16. Am I? Like it wasn't like incredibly like, disgustingly scary or gross or any of that, but there is a point where you go, I am still responsible. I'm still the responsible party in this house. So am I doing the wrong thing by letting you watch this movie?
I see. And so then I get a little bit nervous and then I'm like, listen, if you're going to have bad dreams, not that they would at 16 years old, but I'm like, you might have a bad dream after this. You might get a little, you might be spooked out over there quietly watching in the corner and maybe you're just in your head about it. And so then I start getting nervous and yapping and then I'm nervous yapping.
So then you're asking a bunch of questions.
Asking questions and then like trying to make it a little less scary than it seems to be.
You're doing the lighthearted, make it a funny scare. Okay. How'd that go?
Not well. Oh, the kids did not care for that.
They were like, well, can we just watch the show?
And then later I say, I was just doing all that yapping because I got nervous that you guys were scared. And they were like, what mom, were you scared? I wasn't scared, but I was worried you were scared.
I feel like were you scared? Because I feel like you might have been scared. I was not scared.
I might have been a little scared only because I'm the responsible party in the house. If you're there, then I'm like, no, no, no, Josh will handle it. Right? Like, that's my role on the team is to just let you handle that kind of stuff. If there's a scary noise outside, you go check it out. Why me? Because I'm not going to be the one to do it. Come with me. I might come with you as backup, but you're gonna go back up. Yeah, you're gonna go first.
No, I'm your backup. You're the one that's worried about the noise.
Actually, that makes more sense. You have to be the one with the baseball bat behind me. I'll lead the charge, but you have to be the one that's... Do we even own a baseball bat? Yeah, it's in the shed. Inconvenient. Right. So yeah, I did spook myself out a little bit going, hmm. We have a tiny 15 pound dog, so she's no help.
No, she's vicious. She'll bite your arm off.
Don't try anything. She will protect it. I think she will do her best to protect us, but you just pick her up and then it's over.
I don't think so. She'll bite you.
She will bite you. She's feisty. She is feisty. But yeah.
For just a minute, I went. Wonder Jack Russell. She's...
How kind of spooked out just because... Wild. I have to be the one that's like, if there's a scary noise, I have to go check it out. Yeah. I don't want to do that.
Was there a scary noise? No, I don't. And it's a non-issue.
I went to bed. Right. I said, I can't. I don't... If I sleep through it, then there's nothing to be spooked out about.
And so we got ourselves a non-issue. Let me just take a look. 831, non-issue.
If they happen to tell you that I was yapping through the movie, don't believe them, though. But I was doing it for their sake. Not my sake. But I'll probably believe them.
Why? Because you just told me that's what happened. Because you were nervous and scared. No. No, that's... Let's just rewind the whole thing. That's exactly what you said. And you chose to yap because of your nervousness. Yeah.
Because I was the responsible adult.
And it sounds like you did fine.
It was fine. That's what I said. Everything's fine.
Yeah. I don't know what you're worried about.
It wasn't even that scary of a movie, actually. It was just scary that I was like, oh no, I have to be the responsible one. That was the scariest point of all.
You did good. Good job. Thank you. What? You're trying to be more...
I'm trying to be more... Sometimes I buy things unnecessarily.
So you're trying to be more intentional.
Correct. Yeah. That's a good word to say. All right. A little more frugal. Yeah. More intentional for sure. Okay. I have some lotion that I don't like the smell of.
Is it the stuff that's on the nightstand? Yeah. I don't like the smell of that either. Okay. So I'm not mad about that.
I know, but... If that goes away. I know, but it's a whole bottle of lotion and I don't like the smell of it. And I keep saying I got to get more lotion, but I'm like, nope, not until that one's gone.
I see what you're saying. So you're going to suffer through using a lotion you don't like until it's gone so that then you can feel justified in buying a new bottle of lotion. Correct. How much is a bottle of lotion?
I don't know, but that's not the point. The point is it's just wasteful. It's just wasteful to just throw away a whole bottle of lotion. Give it to somebody.
Who's going to want it? Somebody who likes the smell. How much is a bottle of lotion? Well, I'm looking. It depends on what you want to get, but maybe 10 bucks. Yeah, see, that's 10 bucks. I understand, but it's 10 bucks. And to get a lotion you like.
I understand that too, but it's also...
Maybe up to 20. 10 to 20 bucks. It's just wasteful.
And I'm trying not to be so wasteful. So sorry, Josh. I know you don't like the smell of it. I don't like the smell of it. Too bad.
Did you know that you can get an entire bucket of unscented body butter base that then you can scent yourself if you want? For 50 bucks. It's a 10 pound bucket.
Where would you have a 10 pound bucket of lotion?
I don't know. You can get up to 1,200 pounds of it. They'll send it to you on a palette for just under $4,000. It's 1,200 pounds of lotion.
I didn't know you could bulk buy. I didn't. I don't want that.
Do you want four 10 pound buckets for $143? Sure don't. It's 40 pounds.
I don't need that much. I don't need a bucket of lotion.
That's enough lotion for the rest of forever. And it's unscented. It's just the lotion. It has no scent. Sorry.
That's not going to happen. I'm not buying a palette of lotion. I'm also not going to get a bucket of lotion. I just want one little pump of lotion.
But then you could just add in whatever essential oil you like.
I understand. I don't want it. Stop talking about it.
I don't want it. And then you could have...
Do you want to buy beef tallow? Stop. You can buy beef tallow. 50 pounds of it or an 1,800 pound palette.
I don't know what you're searching for, but close it down. Close it down immediately. Did you know? No.
What is this? Hold on. Hold on. A 55 gallon drum of unscented beard oil. A 55 gallon drum. Do you need that? It's $41. Do you need that? That's incredibly inexpensive.
Why aren't you answering my question?
I need beard oil. Do you need that big giant thing? Oh, it's $41 per gallon. It's $2,700. Do you need that? No. What am I going to do with a 55 gallon big blue drum of unscented beard oil?
You'd be set for life. That's so much.
That's a lot. I apparently stumbled across a website that all these apothecary people go to bulk buy the products that they then make.
That's what I found. It sounds like it.
Get out of there. That's pretty cool. Yeah, click out of there. It's a nice looksie, but we're not going to be customers there.
We're not going to actually buy anything from that.
$151 for four gallons of natural unscented lotion base. It's natural, unscented.
It's appealing. The unscented thing is appealing, but I don't need four gallons of it. I just need one little... That's all.
I bet they sell the bottles and stuff online too, so you could get your own fancy lotion bottle.
The fact that you... Sorry, I interrupted you. You're fine. I'm sorry. What did you say?
No, I just was saying that you could make your own lotion and bottle it up and then you could sell it, but that's fine. Go on.
I was just going to say the fact that you also don't like the smell of the lotion is... That's more...
Now I'm more inclined to get a different one.
To get rid of it. You could. I wouldn't be mad. It's fine. When I was in the store and I smelled that, I was like, I like this. And then I got home and I went, oh, I hate this. And every time I get out of the shower, I go, oh, I have to put this gross lotion on?
Just go get a better lotion that you like. It's fine.
Don't feel bad. I feel so wasteful.
Put the other one like in the bathroom or something for somebody to use when they're a guest.
Guests? Yeah. You use this gross lotion. Guests? Yeah.
I don't like it. You use it. Clicking around the internet and I stumble across a post here from a group on Facebook that's all radio people. Okay. And somebody said, hey, radio nerds, these are at Target right now. And there is some t-shirts and a kind of a cool jacket for WSQK, 94.5 FM. Do you know what WSQK is? Sure don't. It's WSQK, new radio station in town, The Squawk, WSQK. From where? That's right. Hawkins.
That's a stranger thing. That is correct.
Yep. There's a new radio station in town, WSQK, The Squawk, Hawkins Hitmaker, hosted by Rockin' Robin. That's the Squawk, 94.5. WSQK. That's your radio voice? Yeah, that's from WSQK it is. Yeah, it's Rockin' Robin, the Hawkins Hitmaker. WSQK, The Squawk, 94.5 FM. And we're by out.
Yeah, that's exactly right. There's a new radio in town. The apparel is kind of fun. It's kind of old school of course because it matches the show, but it's kind of fun. They did make some shirts specifically for WSQK. And it's making me kind of nostalgic and maybe thinking that we need some like old school gear.
What kind of old school gear do you think? I don't know.
I don't know. I don't think we need this jacket, but it's pretty cool.
I'm looking. I just went to their website. I can't find anything.
Let me see if I can share this with you. All right. Let me see.
I can share this with you. I don't think we need like Rockin' Robin gear, but you know what would be cool is if we had some Classy 97 gear.
Well, that's what I'm saying. I don't want WSQK gear. I see. I want like nostalgic gear for here. Okay. So it's like Classy 97. And it's a wake up with Josh and Janta, that kind of stuff, but then like a retro style. Yeah.
It would be kind of cool. I agree. That would be cool. Like it's got the have a request call. Then it's got the phone number on there, which by the way, I guarantee if you call this phone number, you get a radio station because they did that with the pizza van. Okay.
In the show. And if you call the pizza van, you got the pizza phone number actually worked. And this is a, it looks like a functioning phone number. So. Interesting. Call it. What do you think it goes to?
Oh, it's probably an ad for stranger things. I'll bet. I bet you're right. Yeah. Did you, did you pull up the thing I sent?
I'm trying. Oh, okay. I tried to do it on my phone and it, it was a Facebook link that you sent me. That's right. And it didn't take me to the actual Facebook link that you sent. Oh. It sent me somewhere else. Yeah. Okay. So I tried on the, I don't, I can't find it.
Well, I'll show you. They're pretty needed. Okay. But if you go to a target, you can find your gear for WSQK, which is a stranger things thing, but it's still a radio thing as well. And they're selling radio merch at Target, which I think is kind of fun. We need to get in on that.
Okay. I'm like, I'm down for it. We need people to be able to go to the store and buy our stuff. That would be dope. I know. I learned something yesterday. What did you learn? I learned that Idaho has a state dinosaur. Did you know that Idaho had a state dinosaur?
It's not. Is it the Hagerman horse? Nope. What is it? It is Oric de Dromius.
Okay. It means burrowing runner. Burrowing runner. Yep. It digs burrows. It lives in family groups. Okay. It's diet is a herb before. Okay. It's from the late Cretaceous period. It looks like this. What? It looks like our dog. I know.
What is that? That looks like a fraggle.
It does look like a fraggle. Huh. How about it? Right? What's it called? Oh, easy. It's called. Oric de Dromius. O-R-Y-C-T-O- O-R-Y-C-T-O-D-R-O-M-E-U-S.
Well, it looks way different on the internet than it does in that thing that you showed me.
That's a statue that somebody made.
I don't think they nailed it.
Oh, no. Because I'm looking at it online.
Let me look at it online. It's a rather small one. Yeah, it is a small one.
I don't necessarily know why.
Remains of this dinosaur were found in its burrow, along with the remains of two juveniles. The burrow was around 30 centimeters wide and 70 centimeters long.
This one has, from the statue that I found, it looks like it has fur. Yeah. But the pictures online doesn't really seem that it has fur.
That's why I said, I don't think they, I think they took some creative license. Yeah, a little bit. A little bit.
Oh, it looks completely different online. That's what I'm saying. I don't think they nailed it. Unless, no, because that was the one that was right. Yeah, that's interesting.
Do you think you got a picture of the wrong one?
I was thinking that for a minute, but there wasn't any others next to it.
Okay. I mean, was it found in Idaho, I assume?
That's what I was looking at. I think that was kind of the big deal. I don't know, or if they found fossils.
It was named the state dinosaur in 2023.
And then this one says, what did I tell you, the name meant burrowing digger or something?
Yeah, it's only found in Idaho and parts of Southwest Montana. Interesting. Yeah.
Well, we have a state dinosaur. Yes, we do. And that dinosaur is still up to interpretation.
Orrictodromias. No one really knows what it looks like, I think. Orrictodromias. Burrowing digger. Okay. What was it? Burrowing runner. The burrowing runner. Like a little fox, a fox diner.
That's what they made him look like with all that shaggy hair. But he ate plants. Interesting. Well, thank you for finding that out and sharing it with me.
Go state dinosaur. We're going to have to ask that question on Kids Smart sometime.
What is the state dinosaur? Yeah, okay. And then they're going to go, well, you pronounced it wrong. Every time you said it, it's actually pronounced. And then they'll say that.
Yeah, they will. Because they're smart kids. And they'll know the state dinosaur. And they'll be like, I just found that out.
Like get with the times. That's old info. Well, cool. Well, thank you for sharing.
Thanks for letting me teach you. Okay. There were three kids. I don't know if they were kids. Three people who broke into an amusement park and stole, want to guess what they stole? What important tools?
Hundreds of stuffed animals. But why? Exactly. But why? But why? I don't know. It happened last month at a place called Playland Park, just north of Manhattan. It's right on the beach. And they got in, they pulled up in a small boat. It happened right before midnight.
Wait a minute. They hopped a fence. Well, hold on. They pulled up in a boat. Because it's right on the beach. So they pulled up in a boat? Yeah. Okay.
So they hopped a fence. They cut a bunch of cables in the control room.
So they look like they're late teens. Okay. Late teens, early 20s.
And then they crammed 200 stuffed animals into garbage bags. And then they left. They tried to tip a photo booth off the boardwalk and onto the beach, but it was too heavy. So they abandoned that idea.
They may have thought that cutting the cables would shut down the security cameras, but there are lots of pictures of them, including one where their faces are clear as day.
Oh yeah. I'm looking at the picture right now. Have you seen the picture? No. It's these three dudes. Oh yeah, I see it. Only one of them is wearing a hoodie. The other one's wearing an open jacket no shirt. And the other one is full no shirt. But you can see all three of their faces. The one with the hoodie went full Ted Kaczynski. With his glasses there.
The one without the shirt is like, what's up, bros? Like, are we going to slowly stuff animals?
Is a necklace. Yeah, they were bored. These three were bored.
And then what are you going to do with all those stuffed animals?
Now you got to- Well, you're going to go to jail. Well, you are going to go to jail, but come on, dudes. What are you doing? Oh, it looks like earlier in the day when they were on the boardwalk trying to throw the photo booth over the fence, they had shirts. However, one of them was not wearing shoes, had socks on, shoes in hand. What? What? Yeah, that's right.
If you're going to go steal something, if you're going to break into a place, would you wear clothes? Shoes and a shirt? Absolutely. And also, would you steal stuffed animals?
This whole thing is wild.
I like that they tried to tip over the photo booth and then they were like, no, it is heavier than we thought. Let's maybe not do that. Yeah, see, they're just bored.
They're bored.
There are absolutely bored dudes who had nothing to do and they had a boat and- Yeah, that kid has no shoes. None shoes. Okay.
Well- We got his feet prints. Did you brush for feet prints? Anyway, I'm glad that they're- I'm glad nobody got hurt.
Yeah, but still. But still, what are they going to do with 200 stuffed animals? It makes no sense. The whole thing is madness. Shoot the basket and win the prize like everybody else.
I write. Spent 30 bucks to win and slap bracelet. That's exactly right.
Would you rather this or that?
It's going to get spookier and spookier as we get closer to Halloween.
Which we've been doing all month.
Go ahead. Would you rather find a bat in your hair or a spider in your bed?
Bat in my hair. I have no hair, bat in my hair.
Oh, you took the easy way out.
I don't want a spider in my bed.
I don't want either of these things.
But a bat in my hair is not as scary as a spider in my bed.
I found- I was cleaning house over the weekend and there was a beast of a spider. Not in the bed on the kitchen table. On the kitchen table? Yeah.
How did you get there? I don't know. That's two now. I know. What's going on? I don't know. I don't like it. We haven't had spiders in the house like this ever in the 13 years we've lived in the house. I know. And this year over the past few days we've had two. Two big ones. We got a thumbs up.
I don't like it. I don't either. And on my kitchen table?
Yeah, how do you get there?
I don't care for it.
I don't like it. It's got to be when we let the dog out. Because we leave the door open sometimes. And they're like, oh it's warm in here.
Coming inside and warm my little legs.
Yuck. All right. I'm going to go- What kind of spider is it? In my bed. This is your game. A gross one. Is it a daddy long leg? No. Is it a black widow? No. You know the one. Which one? A hobo? Yeah. I'm going to bat if it's that. I know.
Oh I hate hobos. It's a bat in the hair. I know. They're all hairy.
A bat. A bat in my hair. Gross. Creepy. Would you rather this or that?
In all your running around this weekend did you end up getting me a pumpkin? No. So I still need a pumpkin for this weekend. We all still need a pumpkin. Okay. I was making sure you didn't just get everyone a pumpkin but me.
No. Did you see any pumpkins outside the house when you arrived?
Is that where you would have stored them? Yes. I didn't know. Maybe they were still in the car. I just wanted to clarify if I need to get a pumpkin.
No. We were going to go to the pumpkin patch and then Emery decided that she didn't want to do that without you.
Oh well that's very sweet of her. She could totally have gone without me and picked out a pumpkin form.
I know that you're trying to get rid of- You're trying to get out of going to the pumpkin patch.
I don't have time this week. I don't either. Is it Saturday? Saturday I got to have a pumpkin to carve. Oh man I got no time.
Here's the lamest part is like pumpkin patches are fun and I like going to pick out my pumpkin but agreed we're out of time and I almost picked them up at the store and I went that's the dumbest way to get a pumpkin.
I know you got to go to the patch and do the fall thing. No. No one has a pumpkin. Okay well I've add that to the to-do list. Put it on the calendar or whatever.
I will. I got to get a pumpkin. I know we all need pumpkins. Okay. That's gonna wrap up the show. Fun day.
