Go to a barber. Do you have a scraggly beard? Yeah. I'm trying to see. I you know how people with hair get bed head?
Yeah. I get bed beard. And so I have to I have to work it, in the morning. That's a thing. Okay.
It has to happen. I didn't realize. Yeah. Let's see. What else going on?
It's Kool Aid day. Oh, yeah. Yes. Very good. Thank you.
It is airborne day. It is the anniversary of the first official US Army Parachute Jump in 1940. Okay. So today is, take a moment of silence to honor all the brave airborne men and women of the air force. Yeah.
It's airborne. How terrifying that must be. No kidding. The first time, they're like, you're gonna jump out of this. Good luck.
Yeah. National Tell a Joke Day, can work on that. It's roller coaster day. It's bratwurst day I love roller coasters. And surveillance day.
I thought you were gonna say you love bratwurst, but you didn't say anything about the bratwurst. No. I don't have anything to say. K. And surveillance day, which is, like, security cameras and that.
I know what surveillance is. Thanks. Okay. Good. Good.
Good. That means you're off to a good start on Friday. Awesome job. Okay. Alright.
Well, good morning. It's Josh and Santo. Yeah. Happy Friday. There was a 30 year old woman named Veronica and her boyfriend.
I don't know his name. Let's name him Brad. Okay. Who are you gonna say? Hank.
Hank. But that's fine. Okay. So Veronica and Brad were on their way to couples therapy. K.
And she's driving. He gets in the passenger seat. They'd been fighting all day, but things got even more heated on the drive to their therapy session. And he said, I'm not doing this anymore. I'm breaking up with you.
He said that he told her that their relationship was over and asked that he take her home. She stopped in the middle of the road and said, get out. So he did. And then he says that they locked eyes as he was crossing the street in front of her car. She floored it, causing him to flip over the hood and slam into her windshield.
Oh, boy. I was not expecting that twist. I was thinking they they had this big dispute, then they locked eyes, and it was like, wait a minute. We love each other so much. Come on back.
No. But no. Total happens. Definitely not that. He ended up with a cut on his right elbow, and she ended up with a cracked windshield.
He says it happened when she hit him. She claims that it happened when he punched the windshield out of anger. She also tried to claim very different situation. Didn't hit him on purpose. She just didn't see him there.
You didn't see him? He just got out of the car. I don't buy that. Their relationship is officially over. They've been dating for about a year.
They did not make it to couples therapy. Yeah. No. Something tells me they did not. Oh, yeah.
So next time, take separate vehicles. That's that's kind of a big deal. K. For those 2, they should probably Oh, those 2 aren't gonna be doing any driving together from now on. I I hope not.
They should probably just keep their distance from one another. Yeah. I never wanna be a hood ornament. So No. Don't run me over.
I I probably won't. But, also, it could have been that she ran into him, and then he was angry and punched the windshield. What she's saying. Both of those things could be possibly true. Right.
Right. Because he could have been like, are you kidding me? And just punched the windshield. Ow. Yeah.
Well He'd already been hit by a car. So I guess we'd have to know. More, Ow? Is his hand injured? Good question.
I mean, that's the proof is in the pudding as they say. Where is this pudding? What does that even mean? The proof is in the pudding? Is that a thing?
That is a correct idiom. I don't know what that means. The proof is in the pudding is an idiom that means the true value, quality, or success of something can only be determined by trying or using it. The expression is based on the idea that the best way to test a pudding is to eat it. Ah.
You might say the proof is in the pudding when offering evidence for an argument. I'm just gonna start saying that when it doesn't make any sense. Uh-huh. Proof's in the pudding. Thanksgiving dinner.
How's everything? Hey. The proof's in the pudding. Somebody give me some pudding to try. Yeah.
And I'll tell you if there's proof in it. There's there's proof in this pudding. Josh. Shantel? Do you like raisins?
Not really, actually. Well, do you like free raisins? I mean There aren't better than paying for them. Free raisins. No.
There aren't. Well, not anymore. There's been a cleanup. Yeah. Road raisins.
There were Every time you say there's free food, it fell off a truck. Yeah. Yeah? Where were the road raisins? Oh, they were on a California highway when a truck apparently crashed into the center divider.
Not the California raisins. Yes. The California raisins. No. Do you remember when the California raisins, like, hit it big?
Did they? It was a big thing when I was little, and they had, like, that hit song. What was the song that they sang? Yes. And they were dancing?
Yeah. And they had arms and legs? Yeah. They played a whole band. They did.
It's like a whole thing. They had a whole raisin band. It's kinda creepy. Or was it brilliant marketing? I don't know.
I wonder if that made anybody eat more raisins. Doubt it. This is plagiarism. They didn't even sing this for real. No.
I know. It's Marvin Gaye. I know. Like, they sang I heard it through the grapevine the whole time. They were just, like, claymation raisins.
Yeah. They moved, like, like that. I thought it was so cool when I was little. Anyway Free California raisins. As I said, not free anymore because they've cleaned it all up, but there was free raisins that you could have grabbed.
Boxes of raisins went everywhere. Oh, they were packaged. Yeah. It wasn't well, I didn't know if they move raisins like the same way they move potatoes around here. No.
That's that's not gonna work because it had turned into one giant raisin. They'd all stick together. Also, that's grapes. What? It's grapes.
No. It's grapes. And then they let them sit in the sun and become raisins, so they would just move truckloads of grapes. See? I see.
That's why the song heard it through the grapevine. No. No. No. No.
I get it. No. No. No. No.
You don't no explain no mansplaining necessary. No. This is just totally explaining. But, anyway Anyway. They've cleaned them up so you cannot get free raisins.
But they were box packed. Was it was it Sun Maid? Who do do we know the company? We don't know. We don't know.
Okay. Is there any other kind that makes raisins? Is there another company that makes raisins? I feel like Sun Maid has the monopoly on that You do? Market.
Oh, for sure. Hundreds of boxes of raisins spilled on to the 2 freeway. I said that. I told you. I'm just looking.
They there was a what was in the other truck? It was a major crash involving 2 big rigs. Oh, I don't know what was in the other truck. I don't have that information. But there could have been something more free.
Yeah. That's what I'm saying. There it's a lot of raisins on the road. Raisins and cinnamon roll dough. Oh, no.
Collided in the middle of the freeway. Oh, it's a lot of raisins. I'm looking at video. Yeah. It is a lot of raisins.
You coulda had it all for free No. But you missed out. I guess so. Today's good news reminds you that it is never too late to follow your dreams. What are your dreams?
Let's learn about Bex Bradford. Bex, b e x? B e c s. Bex. K.
Dropped out of school at 15, spent time in foster care as a kid, and had a dream of becoming a doctor. So at age 35, she took some action. She studied for her high school equivalency, drove 6 hours round trip from her home in England to attend premed classes, and all of her hard work and dedication has paid off. While working 3 jobs and facing multiple rejections, she finally got into University of Bristol. Hey.
She said, I don't know if I'm just a little delusional, but I really believe that if your heart is in it, you can 100% do the crazy things you've always dreamed of. That's so cool. She's now 41. She is officially a doctor. Good for her.
She's using her life experience to connect with patients as well as mentor others from nontraditional backgrounds, and she hopes that her journey can inspire others to follow their dreams. She gives a little piece of advice, and she says it doesn't matter when you get there. Never give up on yourself. Some hard work and perseverance. Nope.
Wow. That's really incredible. It doesn't matter when you get there. Never give up on yourself. That's amazing.
Great advice. Her. Bex, good job. For sure. You're good news to get you going.
Good news. Yeah. One of the worst earworms, that you can possibly have is has got to be a commercial jingle. And it gets stuck in your head, and then you, like, you start singing it over and over and over and over. You make up your own jingle that are just ridiculous.
That make no sense. Yeah. They do. You just take the company name and then make it their jingle. Yeah.
Which sounds appropriate except that you're like, it's a paint warehouse. We'll warehouse your paint. Like, it doesn't. It makes no sense. There there was a long, long, long, long while ago when I had a infant Yeah.
We're talking 20 years ago. Years ago. Your company at the time needed help with some billing, and so they said, hey. Would your wife be willing to come in and just, like, fold these and stuff these? Right.
So as I was doing that for the bills, it was all of these companies. And so I was bored, and I just came up with jingles for all of them. So get this. What? The researchers at University of California Santa Cruz discovered that when people sing the jingles that are stuck in their head, they often can match the original pitch near perfectly.
Really? Yeah. What they found out, is that because people have them stuck in their head, nearly half of the recordings when they had people come in and they said, sing the jingle Uh-huh. That's stuck in your head. Sing it.
Nearly half of them were exactly the same key as the original song, and about 70% were within one semitone of the actual pitch. Even people who have no inclination for song? Correct. Because they've heard it so much and it's ingrained and certain weird inflections and pitches and stuff, they could repeat them nearly note for note. Oh my gosh.
It's really, really incredible. I'm brilliant as a singer. Well, what's what people are finding out is that, like, there's that thing called pitch perfect where you can you can hear a pitch and you can repeat that pitch or you can play that on an instrument or whatever. Well I can do that. Some people didn't realize they had that when it came to singing jingles.
That's really, it's it's fascinating to me. Is fascinating. Because it's just something that you've heard so much. I wonder if it works with theme songs, intro songs to shows and cartoons. I bet it does because it's the same sort of circumstance Right.
Where you hear it so much that you just it becomes ingrained in your brain. Like the full house theme. Yeah. See? But it that's the one.
Nana, man. Why don't we have a job singing theme songs? Oh, I don't want that job. Why? We'd be so good at it.
No. Do you even know my skill? Oh, I've yes. Yes. I do.
Nice. And I'm not trying to squash you or hold you down. If you wanna go for it, you go for it. I am gonna go for it. For it.
It's never too late to live your dream. Jingles by Chantel. Listen. I'm open for business. So if you wanna hire me, I will come up with the best one for you.
You will? Yeah. It's gonna be your business name. No. It isn't.
And then what you do is your business name. Isn't. That was beginning stages, Josh. Okay. I've advanced.
Oh. I'm not even gonna tell you all the secrets. I have all the skills I have up my sleeves. I had no idea. I know you know.
Those are short sleeves. No way, ma'am. No. No way, ma'am. Sweater on.
No way, ma'am. There's so many skills up here. Come on. On. We had a little time on our hands yesterday after, or before we needed to do an event that we were going to.
Yeah. And you were behind the wheel. Yeah. And Emery and I were at your mercy. K.
And you took us to your old stomping grounds. Yeah. I did. Which is you to I took you to places I don't think I've shown you before, but you say Oh, no, Josh. Shown you.
You Before. Have told us these stories time and time again. And you said, oh, this is where I used to do that one thing, and this is where I used to do that one thing. Here's the field I used to move pipe in. Fascinating.
Wow. So no one else had a better idea of what to do with the time between things. I had plenty of ideas. No. No no one said an idea.
No one shared an idea. I said lots of ideas. The ideas that I recommended were solo ideas such as, I need to take a shower. Oh. I would like to take a nap.
I need to go pick up the house a little bit. I I had lots of ideas, but my ideas were always overruled. By the one in the back seat who was like, I've been home all day. Yeah. I don't wanna be at home.
And I said But then offered no ideas. No. Because she's to do. A teenager. So So I drove around showing you the sights of my my days gone by.
That I've seen Yeah. A a lot of lot of times. I've been with you for 20 years. I have seen all of these. I should've shown you the field where I where I participated in a car show.
Yeah. You should have. Wow. That would be so interesting. It's all so interesting.
You, first of all, I don't know if if you knew that I saw all the faces the 2 of you were making back and forth or one of other like, you were bored out of your minds, but I did. And then, secondly, I forgot what I was gonna say secondly. But first of all, I did see those. Okay. So there's that.
Yeah. I knew you saw them. Yeah. They weren't. I wasn't trying to be that discreet.
But I didn't know I'd shown you the fields before. Okay. I had seen that. New info. That was new info.
Was it exciting? No. No. It's a field. But what was interesting was that the field I used to move pipe in, the pipe is still laying there, but there's nothing planted.
You grew You grew up here. Yeah. I did not. We live here now. Yeah.
We do not live in the place where I grew up, which Right. I am not sad about. Let me be clear. K. I moved out of that place for a reason.
Okay. But I have never I've never I don't wanna say never because you've seen a few spots where point things out as we drive around town. Are, like, on our way to something else. I've never driven you around my town and said, this is where I did that thing, and this is where I did that other thing, and this is where I did that thing. Yeah.
And I'm grateful for that. But, also, also, we haven't been like, hey. We've got time to kill between things. Let's go drive around, and you show me some of your old memory spots around town because we don't live there. No.
But we should have that abundance of time. We should what? Live there? No. No.
No. No. We should take a drive somewhere, and then I'm gonna show you all of the things. I've probably seen them all. You probably have seen most of them.
But we've been together for 20 even more than 20 years. I've probably seen it all. I'll just sit there staring at the back seat, like, can you believe we're on this ride right now? Yeah. I saw you too.
I saw you too. I wasn't trying to hide it. Communicating with your eyes only, not saying the quiet thing out loud. Like, boy, this is riveting entertaining fun. Look, guys.
This is where I used to move pipe. Yep. Wow. Cool. Fine.
True. So rude. Hi. Good morning. Hey.
Good morning. So here's a a thing I saw. I saw this video, on on one of the I don't know. I was scrolling somewhere. And in this video, this little kid had discovered that, their parents' names were not just mom and dad.
And so she's running around going like, okay, Ashley. That is weird from a little kid not saying mom, and a mom wasn't having it. She's like, no. That is not my name. She's like, what's my name?
And the little kid goes, Ashley. She was very upset. There are times when you will tell a story and you will like, you'll be talking about, my mom or something. Uh-huh. And you will say her name instead of just saying your mom, which is weird to me.
It's really weird. Don't call a lot. I don't call her that. I call her mom. And so when you say her name in the story and you're like, oh, yeah.
And then she said this, and I go, your mom said that. Why did you say her name? Well, because her name is her name. I understand. But it's weird when you're talking like, when I tell a story, oh, I talked to your mom.
I don't say, oh, I talked to your mom's name, Linda. I don't say that. I talk to I it kinda would be weird if you said I talk to Linda. It's weird. And I'd be like, who's Linda?
Right. Like, your mom. I don't call her that. I do when I'm upset with her, and I go, Linda, I've done that. Do you know what I'm saying?
And I have signed her name before. So But we we've heard about that. A little forgery artist over here. Getting out of gym class with your mom's signature. Oh, yeah?
Yeah. Anyway, it's strange when when you're in that position. Okay. So then there was something else we saw too where where somebody was saying that it's weird if you say your spouse's name to your kids. Yeah.
That's probably just as strange. Go talk to like, if Emery's like, where's dad? And I'm like, go talk to talk to Josh. Go talk to Josh. Like, what?
That's weird. Yeah. It's not his name. Go talk to your dad. See what I'm saying?
I do see what you're saying. But you did it the other day, and I went, it's so weird when you do that. I said your mom? Yeah. You said you said my mom's name.
Alright. From now on, I'll just say your mom. Yeah. That's right. No.
No. No. Doctor, your mom was. I don't know. Not like that.
Burn. No. There are times when I am reminded what a spoiled person I am. Okay. And what happened?
It's not my fault. I'll just say I was not your fault that you're a spoiled person? Yeah. Because I'm the baby. I'm the baby.
Not my fault. I know it's not your fault. It's not. Order in which you were born, but your own behavior is your own No. But fault.
If you've grown up your whole life and you're and you're accustomed to people I'm your baby. We went to see a play last night. It was wonderful. It was brilliant. And Very good.
What happened was Yeah. Normally, you put your drink on your right hand side. I feel like most people, even if you're left handed, it's just kind of assumed that your drink goes on your right hand side. Right? I guess.
If there's a I don't know that I've ever thought that much about it. There's a table setting, your drink is on your right. It is. Okay. Okay.
And so we sit down, Emery, you, and me. Emery is on the aisle Yeah. Then you, then me. Right. So I'm sitting next to they hadn't arrived yet, but it was just Strangers.
Strangers. And Emery did not have a cup holder on her right. So she puts her drink in her left side. Correct. You put your drink in your left side.
Correct. And I put my drink on my left side. And I said, this feels abnormal because it's supposed to be on my right. But, also, when the person comes to sit by me, they're gonna think that this is their cup holder because your your drink thing is supposed to be on your right. At the movie theater, you put it on your right.
And lo and behold, the stranger arrives and sits in the seat. And by no fault of his own, he puts his arm on the right hand arm. And I had already taken my drink out because I didn't want it to be spilled or get in anybody's way, so I was holding it. Correct. It was also freezing.
Okay. And so I said, I'll just hold my cup, and then you very kindly take your cup out of your cup holder Correct. And said, I'm just gonna hold mine. Put your drink in my cup holder. Correct.
No. I'll hold mine. I'm fine holding mine, which I am. I was. I could have done that.
You're already cold. You're not gonna hold a cup of ice the whole time. But I would have is my point. Okay. I I've done it before.
Okay. I'm not totally selfish all the time, Josh. So so continue. So I said to Emery, Emery, why don't you put your drink on the floor right beside you when the play begins where people are not walking in your path so there's threat of it spilling, then dad can put his drink in his right side, and I can put my drink, and then we'll all be happy. No.
Nobody would nobody went for that. Just held my drink. It's fine. I'm a big boy. I'm an older sibling, so I'll take one for the team as usual.
Also, again, I'll say, it's not my fault that I'm spoiled because I'm your baby. I would have happily not maybe happily, but I would have done it. I would have sacrificed. Mhmm. But because you are stubborn, sometimes more stubborn than I am, you win.
And so then I go, well, I have no choice but to be spoiled. I'm a baby. Exactly. Yeah. You leave me with no options but to be spoiled.
Nope. Couldn't have used the one on the left. Josh, his arm was in the way. Put your arm there. It's your armrest.
No. I'm not gonna put my arm on his armrest. It's not his. You were there first. Claim your territory.
It's not my territory. Okay. I didn't wanna claim it. I'm gonna be. Today is a big day for me.
What's up? Oh, I have my yearly mammogram appointment. Oh, well, look at you. If you are a woman, you know how thrilling and exciting and fun this day is. Well, look.
I'm I'm super, happy that you're doing the It's important. The responsible thing. Yeah. Yeah. You're doing the thing you're supposed to do.
That's very good. So I'm I'm excited that at least there's that. What, happened last year this might be a little personal, but Okay. I forgot I had a mammogram appointment last year, and I hadn't I think I had taken a quick shower, and I didn't have time or didn't want to shave. Ah.
And so as I'm Is that a big deal? Well, I didn't shave my armpits. Oh, that's a big deal? I don't I guess. I had forgotten until I went to the exam, and she said, okay.
Put on, you know, your This gown thing? Gown thing. You just wear like a top. And she said, put on your top, and I went, oh, no. Well, how embarrassing.
I know. Right? And so I immediately apologized to her, and I said, I'm so sorry. I forgot I had an appointment that day. I forgot to shave.
And she goes, oh, honey, don't worry about it. I have a German grandma. What does that mean? I don't know. But I appreciated her in that moment.
Fantastic. And I immediately felt comfortable. And I said, me and this woman are gonna be a lot. Be alright. I will say I remembered.
Hey. No no issue today. No issue today. Well, good for you. Thank you.
I'm so excited that you, remembered. I know. I'm on top of my game today. So you go. I am mammogram ready.
Alright. Well, good. How exciting. What a what a It is. Fun adventure It is so exciting.
Yeah. It's so exciting. I I can tell you're Love it. Yeah. Way excited.
You're like over the moon. Can't wait. Could we make the appointment sooner? Alright. I I'm begging.
Yeah. Please. Well, I'm glad you're doing it. Like I said, it's really important. It is important.
I'm I'm glad you're doing that. And you're, like, months ahead of breast cancer awareness month. It's just the timing of a a year appointment. They recalled me and reminded me and said, hey. That's today.
Due for your yearly appointment. And I said, no. No. How dare you. A way to be responsible with your body.
Good job. 2 thumbs up. Thanks. I just asked if you had a ruler, a measurement Right. Device.
You said no. That is correct. But then you said, do you have a tape measure? And I said, no. But I know someone who does.
And then you said, no. I can't use that because I need to measure my tongue. And I said, what? Okay. Because here's the story that I read.
This woman in Texas, Britney is her name, and she is the world record holder for the widest tongue. Wide. Her tongue is exactly as wide as the average length of an adult woman's tongue. So okay. It's okay.
Her tongue is actually one wider than it is long when measured from the epiglottis. What? I don't know. They messed up that article. Okay.
Okay. She's measuring from the epiglottis, which is the flap of cartilage located behind the tongue. The epiglottis? That's what it's. Okay.
Your epiglottis? Her tongue is 3.11 inches wide. That's not the longest tongue. She holds the world record for women. Now the male version belongs to Brian whose tongue measures 3.4 inches wide.
There's a wider tongue. Well, whose? Jenny Devander of Portland holds the title. What? How long is or how wide is hers?
5.21 inches. Wide? That's larger than a soda can. Wide or long? Widest.
I I don't think that can be true. How can that be true, Josh? Five inches wide? Her tongue is huge. Yeah.
I can't believe it. I don't believe it. I don't believe that. 3 inches wide. I'm just looking at this woman's tongue.
It is so long. So then I measured mine Yeah. As one tends to do. Hers is circumference. This is the the largest circumference of a tongue at 5.21 inches, which is larger than a soda can around.
Dude, that's impossible. That's this lady from Portland. I didn't have a correct measuring device. No. You used a, like, a business card or something.
No. I used a classy sticker. It's a sticker. Don't worry. I'm gonna not put it back in the pile.
Alright. I'm looking at a picture of this woman from Texas. Uh-huh. It's it's huge. I know.
I know it is. She's measuring I'm trying to see where she's measuring. She sticks her tongue out. The epiglobus or whatever you think Yeah. Okay.
It's a thing. I've heard of that before. You have? Uh-huh. Oh, no.
You haven't. Uh-huh. No. You have. Yes.
I have. You've heard someone say epiglottis. It's glottis. Epiglottis. Oh, my my fault.
No one has ever said that word until just now. I have heard it before. No. Hey. Listen.
What? How wide is your tongue? Okay. The epiglottis, we're gonna have a lesson today. It's the small leaf shaped flap of cartilage in the throat that protects valeranex and helps with swallowing.
Okay. But that has nothing to do with width. She's saying that she measured from the epiglottis. What? Then that would be like No.
That's what I said. Somebody whoever wrote this article is Where are you reading the article? Not Guinness World Records dotcom where I'm reading the article where it says that her tongue is 1 inch wider than it is long. Okay. But here is from Guinness World Records.
This is a it's on Twitter. No. There's a problem. Coladex. Right.
It says they say on Guinness World Records that she has been verified as having the world's widest tongue Yeah. At 3.11 inches. I see this. I'm reading the article on the Guinness World Records website. I have I have it right in front of me.
About this one? Yeah. The one I'm saying? Correct. So why are you arguing with me?
No. No. I'm just I'm not arguing. Telling you the epiglottis or whatever. If you measure from there, you're measuring length, not width.
I get that. That's all I'm trying to say. That's what I'm that's what I'm also saying. Okay. Good.
Whoever wrote this article is messed up because they've got that incorrect. Right. So we're we're not gonna worry about the epiglottis anymore. Forget I said it. But I found the story from February of this year that this woman in Oregon holds the Guinness World Record for her tongue that is 5.2 inches around Oh my gosh.
Which is like carrying it's larger than a can of soda in your mouth. In your mouth. Her tongue is around How do you even talk? I don't know. It doesn't have her picture.
That's why I was trying to find Oy. I was trying to find her on the Guinness, page. Here it is. Load some pictures. I don't wanna see I don't wanna see it.
I don't. How long It actually isn't as big as you'd think. Okay. It's strange, but it's not like it doesn't look like it's, like, abnormal for her face. Okay.
Does she have a video of her talking? I wonder if it's, like, just I think she probably just talks normal. Just talks normal. Yeah. Okay.
Just How wide is your tongue? You didn't wanna measure yours. A couple. Because you're a stick in the mud. Yeah.
That's it. You are. I don't know. It's as wide as it it needs to be. I think mine is about 2 inches.
If I had a proper I think measuring device less than that. But, also, you're not measuring from your epiglobus. Glot. No one knows that word. Stop saying because you're saying it wrong.
No one will ever know what it is. The epiglobus? Stop it. You need to go back to school. Why?
Because What's it called? Taking a mad at me class. What's it called? The epiglottis. Yeah.
That's what I said. Hey. I wanna do a giant shout out to teachers because they're going back to school soon, and we all know they work very, very hard, and they do very, very important work. And I saw this story, and I wanna share it with you. K.
It's a pretty good story. So Kate, this woman named Kate posted on her Instagram Uh-huh. And said that, delivery man showed up at her house, and she signed for the package. And you know how sometimes the delivery man will say, what's your last name? Right.
So she said, oh, my last name is DiCamillo. And he said, wait. It's not a name you hear often. He goes, did you write Because of Winn Dixie? And she said, yes.
I did. And he said, oh, wow. He goes, my 3rd grade teacher read that book to us, and I'll never forget it. And so she said, Kate DiCamillo, the author of Because of Winn Dixie, said, I just want that man's 3rd grade teacher to know that he's out there, and I want his 3rd grade teacher to know that he remembers, and he remembers you reading to him. That's really good.
Isn't that so sweet? That is very cool. I like that. I like it too. Have you ever read read that book?
Uh-uh. It's a good one. Yeah. It's a good one. Yes.
I think that's very cool. And what a what a like, he had a little celeb moment with the author where he's like, wait. Wait. Wait. Like, that's a good book.
Like, I you had to have written that. Right? But that's cool. An adult man now. Right.
And he had it read to him in 3rd grade, and he was like, brain connection. Right. Stop listening. The and I remember the name of the book. Yeah.
That's cool. And that's pretty powerful. Yeah. Right on. Well done, teachers.
Do you think he runs around just looking for authors? Like, he he shows up, and and somebody says your last name's White? Wait. E b y? White?
Charlotte's West? Yeah. Yeah. He's, like, checking out the deliveries. Like, I'll get this one, guys.
I got this one. Yeah. This one's so this one's going to a house. The last name's White. I gotta go find out.
That's some delivery. It's not not a good one. Some delivery? Yeah. I Let's see.
That one took you over. I did not. Snug in. Uh-huh. Anyway, well, that's cool.
And, yeah, definitely a big shout out to teachers. We know it's a hard time right now. You're getting ready to end your summer, and, welcome back all the day. With our All the people. Lunatic kids.
Yeah. So as a parent, I apologize. And Your turn. Yeah. No.
More power to you. You guys do a a great job. So thank you. I saw a thing yesterday that said that, this woman was sad because her library has a section of never been checked out books. I saw this as well yesterday, and I thought that was also sad, but then I thought it was really cool that the library said, look.
These books haven't seen human eyeballs. Like, these are books that nobody has checked out. And and I think that's a really kinda cool system. Too. And you said you wanted to try and go to the library and see if they could tell you if there were books that had not been checked out so you could, like, make them feel special.
Alright. Because I'm sure there's interesting things to read. I'm looking at this. I don't know where this woman lives. It's not here anywhere close, I don't think.
But some of it looks I mean, I'm just judging these books by their covers, obviously. But some of them look interesting, so I would be interested to read some of them. And it says, yep. They just made a display that said, we've never been checked out. And that makes me sad.
I I get where you're coming from, but also do the books have feelings? No. They don't. But I feel sad for the authors because the authors spend a great deal of time and dedication writing these books. Do you think the authors get, notified of, like, how many times their books are checked out from the library?
I don't think so. I mean, obviously, they're gonna know book sales, but I don't know. How would they keep track of that? I don't I mean, there's probably library databases, I would assume. They keep inventory of the books that they have.
I mean, if they if they know that a book hasn't been checked out, they know that books have been checked out. Yeah. But I don't think they keep a list or running tally and then say, hey, author. No. You'd have to you'd probably have to go to that database yourself and look it up, But I don't know if all the libraries communicate like that.
I don't think that they do. Is that information that's important? It kinda feels like information that's a little important. We're gonna need to talk to a librarian to have these questions answered. I don't know that I I know.
Just the place. The library? Nuh-uh. Yeah. Is that where you can find librarians?
Yep. How about that? There's lots of them there. So how many books are on that table? A couple dozen?
Oh, more than that. And it's probably not the full inventory of books that have never been checked out. I mean, it's a table, and they've got a table full, plus there's some bookshelves next to the table that have books. It's more than a couple dozen. I would say at least Yeah.
That's a decent amount of books. At least 30. So barely more than a couple dozen. Good. Good.
Good. Good. Good. Good. Okay.
You know how there's a day sometimes that adults have and you wake up and you don't necessarily have to do anything. And so you just linger in bed for a little bit longer than normal, and, you just lounge around in bed long after it's time to get up. Yeah. The Scottish have a word for that. What is it?
It's called herkle dirkle. I've heard this herkle dirkle. Herkle dirkling, to be clear. Herkle dirkling. Who has this word?
The Scottish. The Scottish. It's a word for just lounging around in bed long after it's time to get up. I heard one yesterday. What was it?
And this guy was very, very excited. He said, today, we are gonna couch rot. Nice. And he said, here's the deal. I'm going to the store.
I'm getting snacks. Yes. I'm gonna get us, like, frozen pizza, and I'm gonna get some some drinks so that we can just and he went to the store. He came back, and he said, I'm putting on pajamas because I'm I'm gonna go from the couch to bed later on tonight. I might as well just get ready now.
And he said, this is what I'm doing, and I'm rotten on the couch. He goes, we're gonna pick a show. We're gonna watch the whole series. We're gonna pick a movie. We're gonna watch all of them.
He's like, whatever it is we're doing, we're just this is it. We're rotten on the couch all day. When was the last time we've done this? We've done that before, but it's been it's been a minute. But he came back with his bag of goodies, and he had fruit snacks, and he had Capri Suns, and he had a the frozen DiGiorno pizza, and he had, a couple of different, other snacks and candies and things, potato chips and whatever.
He's like, this is it. This is all we're doing all day. So get comfy. Where his kids No. This is just him and his and his, significant other, and they were that was it.
They it was just this is what we're doing. I can imagine if you did it with the kids, you'd be like, this this this is a whole new level. His kids would go crazy. They'd be like, Caprisa. No.
I know. No. I never did. He was a grown adult. He was like, these are the snacks I'm getting, and it was it was perfect.
I love that. Yeah. Sometimes I think that's just what's needed for a person's mental health. Yeah. You gotta decompress sometimes.
You just gotta have a day where you're like, nope. Yeah. And there are people right now that are going like, no way. I could never. Like, I there is way too much to do.
Yeah. I know. And it's like this is why you need this. You need it more than anybody else. You just need a day where you don't have to make any decisions beside, do I want fruit snacks, or do I want Doritos?
Mhmm. I'll take the Doritos for now. Yeah. They also call it the sofa sprawl. Nice.
It's got a couple of different names. But, yeah, rotting on the couch. I dig it. Sounds good. I need one of those.
Or Herkle dirkle. Herkle dirkling. Herkle dirkling. Did I do that? That's not all day, though.
That's not a Herkle dirkle isn't an all day thing. It's just a loud thing in bed at just little longer. But, also, there was an joke in there that just I didn't hear what you said. I'm sorry. Nope.
You'll catch it later on the podcast when you listen back, and you'll go, oh, there it is. It was it was it was a little subtle. It just happened. It just went by. Good job.
If you missed it, listen to the podcast. Never hear enough Urkel jokes these days. You don't. You just don't. I, it was yesterday trying to drive us around.
There was some wind that had kinda whipped up, and there were thunderstorms and lightning all around. It was a it was a wild time. But there was, some power outages that happened. Trees fell down. Stuff got blown over.
Yeah. And a major intersection in Idaho Falls became without power. 17th in Woodruff with no power. How many lanes is that? So many.
246. It's so many. It's probably torn road. Right? Yeah.
I mean, you've you've got 2 1 or 2 turning lanes, plus you've got, like, 2 or 3 straight lanes on each side. It's a lot it's it's like 20 lanes draft. Yeah. It is. It's a lot of lanes that have to move.
And when the power goes out at an intersection like that, it becomes a four way stop, which creates a lot of chaos and uncertainty for everyone at that intersection. Mhmm. And it backs up, and it's slow, and it's a it's a bit of a a bit of a troubling time. Bit of a kerfuffle. And so I watched a whole bunch of people almost crash, and then patiently and cautiously made my way through it.
And then when I'm not going back there No way. No. Stay away from that area. That's, that's a bad deal. But were set to go because we were in a 2 lane turning Yeah.
Lane, and you were set to go with the car next to you. Correct. And both of you started off together, and then she kinda backed up. I don't know what happened, but she What happened is someone else decided to go straight across the intersection, and so we both had to, like, ease in. But we were we were, like, working together Yep.
In tandem to be, like, unspoken turn. We're gonna do this. If you go, I go, and we we made it through. So which was fine. But, yeah, definitely, a scurry time.
But we did it. You did it. So, you know, good job. You were looking around at some of the Facebook groups, and somebody had asked about things that kids say when power goes out. Is that Yeah.
Like You've read 1. Can I still use the Internet was 1? Yeah. No. I mean, I guess if if your cell phone is, still connected, yes.
But if you're if you're out of power, your Wi Fi is down. So no. It was can the toilet still flush? Yes. It can.
Yes. It can. It doesn't, does not have electricity. So, yes, that'll still work. I lost I lost the post.
Oh, that's alright. But but that's you like the innocence of it. It's kinda it's it's funny because you just do, like, muscle memory things when the power goes out. Right? Like, you walk into a dark room and you hit the light, and then you're like Oh, yeah.
Oh, yeah. Yeah. I forgot that we don't have any power. There was a moment, when, our kids were younger. And anytime the power would go out of the house, the neighbor kids would come over and go, is the power out in your house too?
Yeah. They go, yep. No power today. It'll it'll be back soon. That was something I read.
If the power goes out, your kids go, did you forget to pay the power bill? Oh, man. That's a stressful moment. Yeah. Yeah.
Why is the power out? Because you didn't pay? Yeah. No. That's not good.
But it looks like things are getting back to normal after yesterday, so that's good. Your would you rather this or that question of the day. Would you rather eat a peanut butter and pickles sandwich That's not bad. Or a banana and ranch dressing No. Sandwich?
Peanut butter and pickles. I'm going with that too just because that's the least worst option. You don't like ranch dressing Ew. No. Unless it's on a salad.
And even then, it's very little. What is it about it that you don't like? Is it the way it it smells? Yes. Is it the way it tastes?
Yes. But you like it on a salad, but you won't dip, like, a pizza in it? No. Or a chicken? No.
You don't dip chicken and ranch? No. Sweet and sour sauce. What? If I order chicken nuggets, I'm not gonna dip I'm gonna order sweet and sour sauce.
What about spicy buffalo chicken? I don't eat spicy buffalo chicken. You did? I've dipped it in ranch before. And?
It's not my favorite. I'd rather just eat the chicken plain than dip it in ranch. Well, I'm just saying a banana in ranch sounds miserable. I know. I've had peanut butter and pickle sandwich.
Yeah. It's not bad. It really isn't bad. I think those are 2 very strong flavors mixed together, but I I prefer that over the ranch dressing because ranch dressing is just And you could make peanut butter with bananas with a little bit of honey on there. That's good too.
Peanut what'd you say? Peanut butter with bananas sliced up and, and some honey. That sounds nice. Those flavors go well together. But also peanut butter and pickles, not bad.
I think that ranch dressing just overpowers every other flavor. You think ketchup does that? Ranch does that 10 times more. You put ranch on something, all you taste is ranch. Yeah.
This sounds exactly like my ketchup argument. I know. Yeah. And you know it's true because ranch is all you taste when you have ranch. I don't know about that.
Like, I think it's complimentary to to the pizza. No. I like that. All you taste is ranch. When I was in elementary school, they would do the mini chimneys, which were like the crisp meat burritos.
Yes. And they came with ranch, and it was delicious. So I've been a ranch kid forever. Forever. So is our son.
Yeah. He made up a song about ranch. He did. He was, like, 3 years old. Sitting in his high chair.
He was younger than that. He had to have been, like, 2. I mean, he was he was very into ranch. He's not you think he's he's still very into ranch. Yes.
He is. I've seen him dip stuff in ranch. Ranch in there. Ranch in there. Ranch in there.
Ranch in there. That was the ranch. It's a hit. We're both jingle makers. Oh, watch out.
