Full show transcript:
Hey. You know how sometimes you get sucked into, like, a a bit of an ASMR type video where you're watching somebody create something or you're watching them, like, just do, like, injection molding. Okay. Yes. Like, whatever it is.
Yes. There's this guy, Amori Gushon. Have you seen this guy? No. You gotta look him up.
Okay. He's a chocolatier. Oh. And he makes some of the absolute coolest things out of chocolate. I'm watching a video that right now it's on, and he's building a full life size BMX bike entirely made of chocolate.
And this all came from the idea. He wanted to, he had a dream of creating a fully functional chocolate chain. And so he started the video by making the like, it's a bike chain Okay. Out of chocolate. And now he's built the tire, and then he uses, you know, like, edible food coloring and stuff to paint it.
Like, these tires look real. Like, he just finished making the tires. Now he's making all the tubes for the frame of the BMX. That's really cool. Insane.
This guy's incredible. I'm gonna have to look him up. Yeah. It's, like, it's absolutely amazing watching this guy make stuff. Anyway, his name's Amory Gishon, if I'm saying that right.
That's what it looks like, but absolutely incredible. He's a chocolatier like this guy, and his stuff looks so real when it's done. It's unbelievable. That's so cool. Yeah.
So you're looking for something. People and their talent. Yeah. Man. Yeah.
This is I get sucked into, like, how it's made. Like, I really enjoy watching those. And, sometimes I'll turn that on just as a background noise at, like, at bedtime or whatever. You'll fall asleep, and and you'll throw the remote at me, And I'll go like, okay. Cool.
How it's made. I don't have to worry about you. No. You hand it to me and go here, and then you fall asleep. Throw it.
Yeah. I just looked up chocolatier guy, and I brought him up. So Yeah. He's, like, very well known to make a shark. Dude.
Brahma, this dude is incredible. Real. People are so talented. Yeah. I know.
Like, this guy, unbelievable. He made a wall e. Yeah. He makes all kinds of stuff. I'm I'm really impressed by what he's able to pull off.
So well done, Amori. Well done indeed. Yep. And, if you're looking for something to watch, that guy's got some good stuff. Yeah.
He does. Hey. Have a great, show here for you, and let's just, get right to it. Yeah? Let's get on down to business.
Alright. That's a weird way to do it, but here we go. Do we just lead off with it and get it out of the way and talk about it and then move on with the rest of the day? Yeah. Because, you you have to talk about it.
Yeah. I don't know if you have to. I mean well, I mean, we we did have to, like, share the news. Yeah. We did.
And then, you know, everybody also shared the news. Did. Yes. And then the world kinda went, and everybody went, what's this news? And Cracker Barrel said, thank you.
I bet they did. I've I've been like, woah. The heat is off a little bit. That's a good point. Well done.
The the big deal is that, Taylor and Travis announced engagement yesterday. Now it was kinda fun to watch the reaction sort of ripple across social media and across the Internet because there were people in this building that were aware seconds after it was announced. Like, immediately were aware. Did you say the NFL posted it before That is what I was understanding. The NFL had shared the post bef that was, like, where someone saw it first, in this building.
And I went, what? And, and, yeah, that was a thing that happened. Like publicity Okay. Fair enough. Fair enough.
Sounds like maybe that's an announcement for the Super Bowl halftime show. Okay. Maybe. I here's what I'm telling you, Josh. What are you telling me?
I'm telling you that he's gonna show his true colors. You you don't trust I don't. Travis. Mm-mm. You think he's a a wolf in sheep's clothing.
You think he's a bad guy I think he's kinda under a good guy facade. Yeah. Uh-huh. Yes. You think in front of the cameras, he plays nice guy.
Mhmm. But because the way you've seen how he reacts emotionally on the field, you think there is something deeper, more sinister Correct. Within him. Yep. It's interesting.
I don't think he's a good guy. Yeah. I think he's kind of a jerk. I bet you. Yeah.
That's my feelings, and I bet that's gonna come to show its true colors soon. And I think he probably puts on a mask so that he can be with Taylor. And, also, like, she's Taylor Swift. Who wouldn't wanna date her? I mean, there's lots of people who wouldn't wanna date her just because they don't like her.
But I get that. The biggest woman in the world. Sure. And he's like, yeah. I wanna I wanna I wanna date that.
I understand. But then also, she's got notoriety and fame and money. Sure. Sure. Hey.
I wanna jump on that boat. What do you think that prenuptial agreement looks like? The fact that she just got everything back, like, all of her music, all that stuff, like, you know it's gonna be ironclad. Like, that thing is going to be division. Like, there will be a clear line in the sand.
Yeah. Oh, for sure. There I would if they didn't do that or they say they didn't, there is no way. There's no way. Oh, they're gonna have one.
For sure. There's a Cleveland TV station and an Australian radio show who got the inside scoop on the proposal because, apparently, Travis's dad did not sign an NDA. He did not have a nondisclosure agreement. So his name is Ed, and he told News five, that is the Cleveland TV station, I think, that the couple waited to announce their engagement until Taylor gave the okay. Travis proposed the night of August 10.
He was gonna put it off till this week. I think she was getting a little antsy. The proposal happened in the backyard of the Kansas City home that they share. And before heading out to a dinner date, Travis suggested they got back to, they go back and have a glass of wine. The terrace had been decorated for the occasion with lavish floral arrangements.
Ed Kelsey, again, that's dad. Right? Remembered being at the Philadelphia Eagles football practice when Travis called with the news. They started FaceTiming me and their mom and other folks to make sure that everybody knew. So that all happened August 10.
They share a home in Kansas City. They do. I did not know that. It's a big, beautiful home. Of course it is.
Yeah. So, so that's the that's the big deal is that they actually got engaged August 10 according to dad. And it was sixteen days later that they were like, okay. Here we go. Now when did she do the podcast?
Last week. I think it was last week. Sixteen days. Right? Mhmm.
So sleuths, let's figure this out. Oh, they're on it. I've already seen a bunch of stuff. I'm sure. Like, she was engaged when the podcast came out.
Oh, yeah. So interesting. Is it I don't know. Is it? It's big news, and that's, everything I think I need to say about it.
Just remember, I said it first. When this when this circles back around and the breakup album happens Yeah. I see. And everyone's like, what a jerk. Well, look.
I wish them nothing but happiness. I hope it lasts forever and that they're little Taylor Travis babies and, and that they have a wonderful life. I'll take that angle. Okay. Take the high road.
I'm just saying look like that you're No. I think I think your observations are astute. I don't discredit you. I'm just saying, I I hope that they have a lovely life. Well, all the heat made Cracker Barrel decide not to change their logo.
I'm blown away. I'm blown away by that. Like, I know that the, the new CEO was making some changes, and, and the logo was one of them. But they've already changed the interior of a bunch of the stores. And I don't know.
Again, I'm gonna say the same thing I said yesterday. It's gross. Who cares? I'm not going to eat there. I know that it look.
Look. I get it. People can be upset. How many times has Pepsi changed their logo? Change logos.
It's not the Who cares? The menus are gonna stay the same. Are you still gonna be able to go get that delicious chicken fried steak you want? You bet. And why do you care if the logo has changed?
Right. How It just makes sense. You would not even have remembered what the logo even looked like. Guaranteed. Yeah.
Well, somebody made a stink about it. Everyone made a stink about it. But, initially, there was one person who went, can you believe it? And then a bunch of other people went, no. I can't.
If they change the logo, do you think they're changing the chicken fried stick, Rusty? That's exactly what else is different? I need my country gravy to stay the same. I like it lumpy the way I get it. Those are two fun characters.
They should go on a on a tour. No. They sound miserable. They well, they don't like change. I'll tell you that about them.
I know that about those two. They don't deal well with change. Yeah. They don't like the new water tower for sure. Then you better count my change back when you hand it to me.
That's how it is. Yeah. And that. Too busy making coin jokes. They have a lot to say on Facebook groups.
Like it. Yeah. But that's all they do. This town has got too many people. It's like the two characters from the Muppets.
The two oldies. Is it up in the balcony? Except for they're a little bit lovable. Are they? These characters we've made are a little bit unlikable.
I see. Well, they're we'll have to name them. I don't wanna offend anybody. I get it. That's why we should pick real common names.
Like? I don't know. Anyway, well, so they're so what are they gonna do? Because I'm sure they paid a bunch of money in to to print all this new stuff, to print all the new menus, to print all the new signage, to do all this stuff. Down 65%.
Yeah. I know. That's made up money. They said, Cracker Barrel always has been about serving delicious food, warm welcomes, and the country hospitality that feels like family. Yeah.
Gravy. I don't know. It feels like pandering a little bit. It feels like they're like Oh, they're definitely, they're definitely backtracking to try to save themselves, but I don't get it. I don't get the reaction to it.
I don't get their reaction to the reaction. I don't get why it became such a big thing. Yeah. I don't get I don't get everyone's reaction. I can't believe the Crocodile logo.
It impacts me every day. It doesn't. I own stock in this company. No. You don't.
You don't. Like, some dude got upset and said something online about it, and then a bunch of other people went, you know, he's right. We should get the pitchforks and torches and go down to the Cracker Barrel and tell him what we think. They call him the guy that's sitting in the chair by their logo, their old now new one again. Yeah.
Okay. They call him the old timer. Oh. Feels like their logo is a little bit old timer ish. Yeah.
That's where I like it. Yeah. We don't like change. Don't don't replace it. Alright.
Don't refresh it. Good for them. Still makes no impact on my day. Hey. Here's some good news.
This is a really cool story about a seven year old boy who started a business in his neighborhood offering people a simple service. For $5 a week, he will roll your garbage cans to the curb before trash day and bring them back afterward. $5. Oh. $5 a week.
You wanna know what his goal is? He is earning money for Comic Con. No. Lambert he wants to buy a Lamborghini. Oh, oh, buddy.
Yeah. He's seven, and he says, I'm gonna do this. I'm gonna save up, and I'm gonna buy a Lamborghini. Now look. A Lamborghini is well over a $100,000 car.
Right? Mhmm. Unless you get a, like, pre owned one on a, you know, good condition, single owner, kick some tires, you know. He walks up. Hey.
This one will do. That'd be funny. Anyway, he handed out flyers. He convinced a number of neighbors to sign up, and those neighbors are very impressed with his determination and hustle. One neighbor reached out to a local car dealer who sells sells Lamborghinis and just said, hey.
Would it would you be possible to bring one of those over and and let him see it up close? And he's seven. He's hustling. He's trying to make this happen. Well, the dealer didn't just bring one.
They brought a whole bunch. And, within days, more than 10 supercars have rolled into the neighborhood to surprise him. Lamborghinis, Porsches, Maseratis, Aston Martins, GTRs. There's a lot of cool cars that have rolled up, into into this guy's, front yard. They didn't give me his name, which I'm kinda bummed about.
That's alright. He did say, this is the best day of my life. This feels like a dream. I bet it does. The event ended up being a great reminder of big dreams that often start small and that communities thrive when friends and neighbors support and encourage those dreams at every age.
Sure. Yep. Really, really cool. Listen. I would spend $5 for a neighbor kid to take out no kidding.
Trash every day. No kidding. I would also spend a little extra money if you hosed it down every now and then. A service that does that. I know there is.
Yeah. I'm happy to pay a little kid to do it. Okay. Wash my trash can, kid. Get in there and scrub it.
I don't need that. Right. But I also just keep forgetting. I mean, you did good at remembering last night, but most of the time, we forget to roll our trash can out. So I would just need somebody forgot, I think.
But to roll it out and roll it back in, I think that's brilliant. Yeah. Good business plan. For him. Yeah.
Very good for him. It's good news. The New York Post did a story and said the latest trend in fitness I know you keep up with latest trend. I sure do. Especially in the fitness fitness.
I know you keep up with latest trend. I sure do. Especially in the fitness world. Those are the trends I need to know about. Quadrobics.
Quadrobics. What is it? It's running and jumping on all fours like an animal. That sounds painful. People are showing off their bear crawls and cat leaps.
Yeah. Sure. Somebody said it's definitely a full body workout. I've lost a lot of weight since I started doing it. I really see the definition in my body.
I'm starting to get a stick six pack. Who is? This person who's doing it. Look. Here's the deal.
Say. Yeah. You're gonna start to get a six pack because planking, push ups, anything where you're down in that sort of what is that? A prone position, they call that? Anything where you're in that position is going to be, is going to work your cores.
Your your core and Your cores. How many core do you have? Too many. So your your core is is, in order to hold yourself up, is in a flexed state. So, yeah, I can see how that would be true, but, also, you're crawling around on all fours.
They say it's it leads back to our primal, days. Oh, okay. And so our body's, like, naturally inclined to do this kind of stuff. I feel I believe, at some point, we like, what was it before? Homo sapien, it was Homo erectus.
We stood up. We we started walking upright. Yeah. That happened a long time ago. So They're also saying that people are craving more functional, holistic, and playful ways to move.
Sure. Nothing sounds better than a more playful way to move. Here's what you should do if you wanna try this. Start slow. Do you think?
So do it like a bear crawl or a beast hold. I don't know what that is. Beast hold? A beast hold? I don't know what that is.
Oh, wow. Okay. A leopard crawl. I don't know how a leopard is different than a bear crawl. I gotta look.
Beast hold is a physical therapy move, and, it's sort of it looks like some of the yoga that you do, actually. Really? It kind of got a little bit of cat cow to it. I love cat cow. I know you do.
So it is absolutely cat cow, but it's it's transitioning a little bit quicker maybe. I'm trying to see. Oh, so you go from cat cow, get this. I'm getting it. When you do cat cow, your knees are touching the ground.
Yeah. Lift your knees up, and so just your toes and your hands are touching. Oh. That's a beast hold. That actually sounds quite lovely.
No. That sounds crazy. No. I bet that's a good stretch. Anyway Like, this yoga instructor did it for about four seconds, and then she had to stop.
Oh, okay. Well It's that's gotta be intense. They also say, be careful where you do this. Okay. You don't wanna look like a weirdo.
What? So where do they recommend doing it? In the privacy of your own home? Yeah. Probably.
Alright. Or in the jungle. Yes. Go to the jungle and crawl around like a leopard and do a beast hold and then fly back. Your space back.
Back. It's working great. Quadrobix. Well, thank you for letting me know about it. I'm not probably gonna participate.
I might just be doing it around the office today. Moving around on all fours? Yep. So cool. My lunch in the kitchen fridge on all fours.
How are you gonna carry it? In my mouth, like an animal. Oh, cool. I went to, Burley over the weekend this last weekend. And on my drive to Burley, I saw one hitchhiker going there and one hitchhiker coming back.
That's interesting. I thought the same thing. One of the hitchhikers was a lady. Okay. And I went, that's a dangerous game.
I haven't seen, hitchhikers I know. In a long time. I thought the same z's. And one of them, the lady, the one that I saw going to Burley, even had her thumb out. Like old school.
Yeah. Like She was kind of by an exit. Uh-huh. And she had some garbage bags. Okay.
Which I assume were belongings. I would assume. And she it was a little bit sketch because there was a truck, a semi truck, getting on the freeway Yeah. Trying to work up speed. I know there's some laws about this.
There is. Right? There is. Have you looked at them? No.
Oh, I was I was thinking maybe you had. No. I don't look up the hitchhiker laws, but I went, oh, honey. Let's not do this. I'm so scared for you.
And then on the way back, yeah, there was a there was a man hitchhiking. Yeah. He was just walking, so he didn't have his thumb out, but he did have a sign that you could read from behind. I couldn't read it because I was going to Were they were they on the city streets? No.
They were on the freeway. You can't do that. Hitchhiking is illegal in Idaho as state law prohibits anyone from standing on a highway to solicit a ride. Uh-huh. There's an Idaho code that clearly states you cannot stand on a highway for the purpose of asking for a ride.
So, like, there are probably people that would stand on a city street near the on ramp. But if you're down the on ramp on the highway, that's very illegal and very dangerous. Yeah. They were. It was scary.
But it had been such a long time since I had even seen hitchhikers that I went two in one weekend getaway? Yeah. This is interesting. On Sunday. It is illegal in Idaho, Nevada, Texas, New Jersey, and Delaware.
It is illegal in some areas in Florida, Pennsylvania, New York, Connecticut, Massachusetts, and Maine. It is legal everywhere else. Really? Yeah. I'm shocked by that.
So it's only fully illegal in five states, Idaho being one of them. And it's only illegal to be on the highways or the freeways. Well, I suppose you could ask for a ride anywhere Yeah. As long as it wasn't on a highway or an interstate. Dangerous.
Right. It's all dangerous. It's so dangerous. Oh, that lady. I want lady.
Okay. So this is interesting. There's a little bit up for interpretation here. So in California, for example. Right?
In California, for example, they don't have a law specifically banning hitch hiking. However, they do have a law that it is illegal to distract drivers in vehicles, and that means no thumbs, you know, sticking out or whatever because those could be reason enough To be distracted. To say you have been distracting drivers, and that's illegal. That's an interesting thing. That's interesting.
Yeah. But it is illegal to hitchhike on the highway in Idaho. So what you saw were two people, a barreakin' the law. Breaking the law? Yep.
What? That's right. And with your own eyes, you saw it. Interesting. Did you ever hitchhike?
Have you ever hitchhiked? No. I have not, And I've never picked up a hitchhiker either. No. No.
Pick them up. Yeah. I can't. It's too scary. I've listen.
I watch a lot of crime shows. I don't know what happens when you pick up a hitchhiker. Yeah. I don't wanna No offense to the hitchhikers, but I'm never gonna stop. Crime probably really dropped the hitchhiker game.
Well, never get a ride. But that's why I felt, like, I'll never pick up a dude hitchhiker. Yeah. But I went, oh, lady. I should pick up a lady, but ladies can be dangerous too.
Oh, watch out. Interesting. Interesting. I know. Would you ever hitchhike if you couldn't find a if you couldn't find a ride?
How would you get home? What would you do? Stay where I'm at. Just No. I'd go talk to somebody.
I wouldn't I'm I the idea of sticking my thumb out is just not No. It's not gonna hit the list. Like, the one I saw was close to American Falls. The Leggie was close to American Falls. But I'm just thinking, like, you could even walk.
It would take you a long time, but if you were desperate enough, you could walk to Pocatello, and you could try to find a bus to get you where you needed to go. Right. They have a depot there. Mhmm. Yeah.
Worse come to worse. Sure. Hitchhiking is my last option. Right. That's scary.
It's scary. Unless unless you find a van that looks like a shaggy dog. Right. In which case, you're gonna have a sing along the whole time. Yeah.
Yeah. No. Thank you. I, even then. Even then?
Yeah. Is it not? Good? I'll I'll get it right somehow some other way. Thanks.
First day success. Second day, here we go. We had a full report on our daughter's first day yesterday. That's right. First day of tenth grade?
I'd say a success. Yeah. She was pretty hyped about it. There was lots of stories. We found out all of the teachers that she did not like and the teachers that she did like.
Well, that's how that goes. And I said, hey. Just give it a minute. Right. It's the first day.
Yeah. Right? Like, everybody's trying to get back into the routine of stuff. You might find that, like, two weeks from now, you're like, I really like this person. Exactly.
Yeah. So chill your bones. That's a good way to to tell her to just settle down. Chill your bones. It'll work really well.
My niece's, daughter over the weekend, so my great niece. Yes. I am a great aunt. That's right. Yes.
I am a great aunt. Uh-huh. She told my sister, her grandmother, to chill down, dude. She's five. And she said, chill down, dude.
Chill down, dude. And I like that. I didn't say that to everyone. Chill down, dude. I like that.
That's very good. Well, you know, I we we dropped her off. We talked about that yesterday. Yeah. After school, I picked her up.
Her and her friend took her friend home, and they sat in the car for, like, an hour I know. I'm sitting and catching up and talking. And I'm just playing on my phone. Call me when she was done. I wanted to hear all of the stories, and then I went, and we have Life three sixty.
So I went to see where you were, and I went Sitting outside in the road for a long time. In the car wash, and so I was like, well, that checks out because you like to do a car wash. I was not in the car wash. I was sitting outside while these two had a long conversation. I learned all the stuff going on at the school.
He learned all the tea? Yeah. I did get some of the tea. Lucky. I don't really need it.
It doesn't matter to me. Like, I'm glad that everything's going well. That's good. What I do know is that she takes she's taking a walking for fitness Yeah. Class this trimester.
Right. Which is just walking. Just walking. They have to walk a 100 miles in the trimester, she said. I know.
It's a lot of miles. It is a lot of miles. I'm glad you took it now instead of in winter. Ugh. Like, I mean, it'll go until, what, the trimester ends around Thanksgiving.
So, right? Yeah. Isn't that right? Yeah. That's right.
Yeah. So that's that's good. It is good. Could be some cold days. Except the only reason she took that is because she wanted to take it with her friend so she could walk with her friend and they could yap.
So you can just talk. Yeah. As they could yap on their walk and Checks out. They could walk to the gas station, the closest glass gas station and buy treats. So her walk also checks out.
This glass is just walking to get snacks. Walking for treats. Yeah. Okay. Got it.
She needs a sign. We'll walk for treats. Yeah. We'll walk for refreshment. This is a grade?
Yeah. This counts towards this. Yeah. What's the test like in there? I think it's just if you hit the 100 miles.
I don't know how it works. Did I read the syllabus? No. Did you sign it? Yeah.
Oh, good. Alright. Good deal. I wanted to make you aware because you love running, and you love eggnog. Okay.
Let's let's rewind. I did enjoy running in high school when I was on the cross country team, and, and I was the alternate. I was the fifth man. I had a good time, but I I wouldn't say, like, I love run. Like, after I graduated high school, running hasn't reentered my life in the way that it was in high school.
It could and that maybe it should, but it hasn't. And then the second thing you said Yeah. Is one of the grossest liquids No. On the face of the planet. No way, man.
Eggnog is so good. K. Well, I'm here to tell you that registration is now open for the third annual Amenogathon. No. Thanks.
What you do No. Is you What what people do, not what I do, What what people who do this and enjoy it will be doing is Yeah. The oh, so you drink Yeah. An eight ounce of eggnog And then you run. And then you run a lap.
So you have to drink eight ounces before so you have to drink a cup of eggnog before each lap. It's a one mile run. And, How how big are the laps? I don't know. I I don't know.
Unsure. Okay. Okay. So hold on. You that's 32 ounces of eggnog, and you drink four laps.
Okay. Yeah. So you drink eight ounces before each lap. Yeah. Okay.
So that's not look. That's what I was saying. It's a it's a track. It's a standard, it it's like a high school track. Right?
It's where they're running it? Sure. Sure. It's at Macauan Park. Okay.
Fine. Great. Super grand. It's a fun idea. It is I don't like eggnog at all.
Oh, hold on. I just feel like, oh, it's thick. It's thick. And listen. I I like what Reed's Dairy's got going.
They put potatoes in stuff, so their stuff's extra thick. Yeah. For suresies. So it's, it's like ultimate thick eggnog, and that's just not it. And then go run.
And then run. Drink this cup of thick And have it And then go run. In your guts. Yeah. No way.
You could feel I can, like, feel it. I didn't even have any eggnog this morning, but I can feel it. This sounds like, like, a mess. Like, this this makes a mess. Right?
This is their third annual. Yeah. So I wanna know. You said registration's open. When is this thing happening?
It happens on November 8. Okay. They should do it when it's still hot outside. Oh, gross. Yeah.
No. That that make it that much better. Like, I get like, they're getting into the, like, it's it's fall. Have some eggnog. It's like an eggnog launch party.
I would rather they did it in the heat of summer. Oh. Make it more interesting. So it just curdles in your guts. That's right.
You're the worst. And do do the two cups summer heat. Oh, gross, dude. Two cups summer heat. Yeah.
That's what we'll call it. So it's twice the twice the nog, twice the heat. The two cups summer heat. Ugh. Gross.
And you know what would make it even worse? What? At the very end, you gotta snap into a Slim Jim. Oh. Yes.
That's your finish line. Last lap, you gotta eat a Slim Jim. Oh, boy. Egg noggin Slim Jims on a 95 degree day. Yeah.
Your last your last cup of nog, your last two cups summer nog comes with a with a swizzle stick that is a delicious piece of jerky. Hey. If you you gotta register and then you get a shirt and a swag bag for this Oh, boy. Nog a thon Yeah. Event.
I wonder if does the swag bag have eggnog in it? So you you take eggnog home with you? Oh, boy. That's hilarious. Yeah.
It's probably got a little bottle of it. Yeah. Now they do a chocolate one too, don't they? I don't know. I think they do.
I'm pretty sure they do a chocolate nog. Would you do the chocolate oh, you're saying I don't like nog. I'm saying I thought you meant chocolate milk. No. No.
The chocolate nog. Because now I'm thinking maybe that's part of the summer heat too. Why is it called nog? Great question. Why is it called I'm just gonna Google it.
Yeah. Google. Nog. Somebody out there knows the answer. Yeah.
And they're probably screaming at us. But So eggnog is, the word nog, which, actually refers to a strong ale. Yeah. Or or from the word noggin, which is a small wooden cup used for drinking it. So the actual origin of the word nog is a bit of a mystery.
Those are the two best things they can come up with. But, anyway, that's that's fun. Get your nogathon on. I I will not. You are really good at looking at those magic eye pictures and just seeing the thing.
Yes. I don't know, what it is that my eyeballs do, but, I can definitely see those very, very quickly. And you know what it is? It's like, it's you gotta look through the image. Don't roll your eyes at me.
It's everybody that's what everybody always says because I can't see them. Yeah. And no matter how hard I try, no matter how relaxed I make my eyes. I don't know if it's necessarily about relaxing your eyes. Like, I like, it's a it's a depth thing.
So you like like, right now, this is in front of me. Right? The microphone? Mhmm. I'm looking at you, so you're in focus.
Right. Without moving my head, I can focus my eyes here, and you're now blurry. Do Do you know what I do you do you understand? Yeah. That's all it is.
Yeah. I do. That's it. And then somewhere in between the layers of you and this microphone is the picture. And I I can stop at that point, but that's it.
That's how I do it. That makes sense. Everybody said. Yeah. It makes total sense.
But I as much as I try to do that, I still cannot see it. Oh. Well, that's I feel like I'm always left out of the party. But I can do that real quick. Like, I can do it anytime.
I can switch between You can look at those and go Yeah. Yeah. That's a hawk. But I can do it with, like, any sort of repeating pattern. Like, so if there's not any no.
It's not cool. I think it's a problem. Like, I don't think your eyes are supposed to do that that way. Like, any repeating pattern, I can sort of, like, stop my eyes from focusing at a certain level and then move forward. I don't know.
I've always been able to do it ever since I was a kid. I just saw one, and I go, can you see this? And you go, oh, yeah. That's a panda. Right.
Immediately. And I went, and then I looked and I went, oh, yeah. I see it. And then I got really excited because I've never been able to see those. And then you said, take away all my thunder.
No. No. You said, well, that's not a magic eye picture. That's just a different kind of illusion. Well, you were saying, like, I saw my first magic eye, but you didn't.
It was just a different it's just lines. It's not the same. Like, that one is one of those one like, if you took it, like do you still have the picture? No. But if you held it and just turned your phone a little bit, you'd see it.
Okay. Well You're better than me. No. That's not it at all. You're very angry about not being able to see the magic eye.
Yeah. Because I have FOMO. So be mad at me. Yeah. Yeah.
I'm mad at you. Because you go, that's not a magic eye. Only with only people with a trained eye can see a magic eye. Any of that. That's just an optical illusion.
Everybody should look at that. That's what you said. I said was one thing, and the one thing that I said was That's not magic eye. Not a magic eye. It's a different kind of optical illusion.
And you went like, that's the noise of deflation. Yeah. Yeah. Because you took out my air. Well, I am so sorry.
I don't think you are. I think you meant to do that. I think you what you should have said is good job. Oh, I'm proud that you saw it, but it was the magic eye. I'm a get you a magic eye book so that you can practice.
I hate I'll be so mad. I think it has a tutorial in the front. Everybody tells me how to do it. I can't do it. I'm not gonna tell you how to do it.
I'm gonna let you read about how to do it. That sounds so dumb. What a dumb waste of time. I'm not wanna see one or not. Don't.
No. I do not. How did that's not how FOMO works. I have the feeling of missing out, but I'm not gonna put in the work to figure it out. I'm just gonna give up.
What? Come on, Megan. It's how I live my life. Yeah. Well Do you remember what, cologne you used to wear in high school?
Curve. Did you wear curve? I still have some. You're so rich. I was not rich.
You still have some from high school? No. I have a new bottle because, a couple of Christmases ago, I got a gift set with a couple of different, bottles, a little the little tiny bottles of curve. And that was the same scent you wore in high school? Yeah.
That little, like, kinda yellowish green bottle. Okay. Yep. Curve. You didn't wear Axe body spray?
I don't know that I mean, that was a round knife. Spice? No. Or Drakkar Noir. No.
I think the I think the body sprays were new on the scene around, the early two thousands. And so I think I had some of that probably when I was in Arizona, but I don't think I was, I don't think I was Axe body spray in high school. Okay. Have you smelled as I remember. Somebody who drenches on me?
I can smell Axe in my face right now thinking about it. It smells like a locker room. Okay. Well, I just read this thing that, the latest trend among Gen Zers is they're calling it why does everything have a name? I don't know.
Well, we gotta name everything. Smellmaxing. It's when you douse yourself with a combination of perfumes and colognes. No. Don't do this.
I I feel like every dude in high school was like, yeah. More ax. I need more ax. I need more body spray. They didn't even need to smell Max.
They didn't need to douse themselves. One spray did the trick just fine. Yeah. Not just fine. Axe body spray debuted in The US in 02/2002.
Oh, okay. So that's was out of high school. Was too. Yeah. Which I'm grateful for.
Know what Why I don't know what the dude's wearing. Happy about that because Axe Body Spray Is it what'd you say you're so happy about it? It? That I was not in high school when Axe body spray was new. Me too.
It's still an issue. What were they wearing then? Because I do remember a smell. They were dousing themselves in something. It must have been.
You know, Adam Levine had a cologne I didn't mind. I never did buy it, though. I I tried some at the mall, years and years and years ago, and I went, that smells nice. Yeah. I never bought it.
I never did. Sorry. Never did buy it. Billie Eilish has a nice perfume. You do like hers.
Ariana Grande's got, like, 28 of them. Yeah. She does. She does. Billie has a whole bunch too.
Get on the perfume game. That's our that's where we're gonna hit big. No. It's not. It'll be a combination of our smell.
Josh and Chantel So it's gonna be a little bit of, like, home cooked food that just sticks with you because it does. And then, and then what? Like, morning show? Yeah. That's what we'll call it.
Like stale studio. Stale studio and home cooked meal. We'll sell it like crazy. I want a bottle right now. Yeah.
There's notes of taco seasoning in this. The hint of spaghetti sauce. Nice. Notes of garlic? Yeah.
And I'm picking up I'm picking up, Chinese five spice and and also carpeted wall. It's nice. Really, really nice. You know what a room parent is? Yeah.
That's, like a parent who volunteers in an elementary school to help out with, like, holiday parties and stuff. You got it. I was a room parent. That's why I know what the room parent is. Years.
Right. I actually really enjoyed it. It was super fun. I enjoy putting together silly games and craft ideas and stuff for people to have fun. Yeah.
You do. You do that for adults. You do that for teenagers. You do that for kids. Yeah.
It's a good time. I don't know how I got on this algorithm, but I'm getting these room parent Halloween ideas for classroom parties. I we have old kids. You don't need this. Yeah.
But I kinda do. Oh, okay. Alright. You're enjoying it. Alright.
Okay. Got it. I think it's more fun to do it for older kids and adults because they always act like it's so lame and, this is so cringe. And then at the end of it or the middle of it, they start to have fun. Everybody's having a good time.
This is kind of fun. Yeah. So I found these super cute, Halloween classroom games, and I might, bring them to our family. Oh, is that right? Yeah.
You're doing the thing where you're like, this is gonna be so lame, and then it turns out to be super frank. You're doing the thing. You're doing the thing. I just okay. Well, I did this for oh, god.
It's probably been a couple of years, but I did it for Saint Patrick's Day. I put on some, Shamrock shenanigans. Remember that? I do remember that. That was not this year.
That was last year. I'm pretty sure. I think it was a couple of years ago. Was '23? Mhmm.
Did we talk about it on the show? I don't no. I don't So you weren't on the show at the top? I was on the show at all. Oh, interesting.
Yeah. So Shamrock shenanigans. I'm maybe I need to bring that back. That was pretty fun. Shamrock shenanigans.
Oh, do you wanna plan the activities? I was just helping you with the name No. Because I made it more Irish. It didn't I didn't need help with the name. I will be happy to play, I guess.
Your spooky Halloween games. I don't know if they're necessarily spooky. I will need no. I won't. I can do that myself.
I'm gonna do this. I think this sounds super fun. This one involves a marsh monster. This one involves some ghosts. Yeah.
They're Halloween themed. I would imagine monsters and ghosts, sir. Do any of them involve pumpkins? No. I haven't seen one yet.
But Yes. You have. There's no way there's not pumpkins involved. Come on. The trickiest part is to get everybody in the same room.
I have to drag all of you into the same room. So I have to be like I'll already be there. Well, you will be, but it's hard to get my teenager and my young adult child to be like, hey. Come play some fun Halloween games. I can't present it that way because they'll never show up.
Let's break this down. How are you going to entice them to come out? I'll probably Trick them with food. I yeah. I was gonna say that.
I have to offer, like, some kind of free snacks. Some but it's gotta be something delicious. Are there Halloween themed snacks involved? Are you gonna turn our house into a classroom party? Yes.
Yes. I am. Like it. Yeah. I want to.
Like peeled grapes. Is there a reach your hand in the bag and guess what it is game? No. But there could be. Do you wanna do you wanna be in charge of that game?
No. I don't. Because the the the only two that I can even think of are peeled crepes that say eyeballs and spaghetti noodles that are, like, brains or something. Okay. That's a good idea.
Oh, okay. Write that down. Come on. Oh, yeah. I'm sure you can look that one up.
Somebody's done the Halloween what's in the bag. Yeah. I know. Somebody else. Although, it could be fun for YouTube.
It's the what's in the box Exactly. Halloween edition. Exactly. And, we set it up, and and there's mystery items. Like, I got two.
Can you believe grapes and spaghetti. I'll come up with something better. Oh, good. It's already Halloween time. Can you believe we're talking about Halloween?
And it's not even September You brought it up. I did bring it up. The Internet brought it up to me. Yeah. That means I've got two months to to get this quiet.
The other day, I took the fall boxes down, and then I put them back away. Yeah. Because it's not fall yet. Yeah. Yeah.
That was it is not time. You know what I would like, Josh? I do enjoy what I do This sounds like work. What? You know what I would like?
What? I I do enjoy planning these games. Yeah. I do enjoy it. Sometimes it'd be fun to play to do it.
Oh, yeah? Would it? Mhmm. Oh, find somebody to plan some games for you then. I'll be in the room ready to go when it happens.
What a big day for you. It's a big day. You've been waiting for today for weeks and weeks. Yep. How long?
Like, a couple of months. Yeah? Yeah. Since you've been to your hairstylist and had hair a pea. It's been a couple of months.
Yeah. And you're excited you're going back. It's long overdue. I typically get my hair done every six to eight weeks. Mhmm.
And I had it scheduled when it was supposed to. Right. And I had to cancel. And she said, well, the earliest I can get you in is now the August. I mean, that was a month ago.
Yeah. You better not cancel that appointment. I When you get the appointment, you need to keep that appointment. I know, Josh. You're the one that made me cancel.
Why did I make you cancel? Because We had something to do. Yeah. Somewhere to be. Yeah.
Yeah. Well, my fault. Yeah. It is your fault. My fault?
Anyway, I got some real bad grays up in here. Oh, I I've told you that you should just let it go. Say that. And I look sometimes, and I go, yeah. I mean And you've seen some some other women that have just embraced it and let it happen naturally.
Yeah. And you think it looks great. Yeah. And then what happens? I look at myself and I go, it's not this is not it.
It's not it. Sometimes I do look at it, and I go, yeah. It's not bad. It's not bad. Mhmm.
And then I look other times, and I go, it's not not today. Cover those grays today. Apparently, I found out there's a powder you can get. Okay. And you can kinda lightly dust it Yeah.
On your hair and it kinda club for men's style stuff. It kinda, yeah, it kinda diminishes the gray a little bit. So it blends it in with your natural hair color. Do you have that? No.
I don't need that. You when you said you'd found it, I thought you bought it. No. I need some. Somebody recently told me about it.
Just let it go. I just don't I'm not ready for that, Josh. I just I'm not ready for that. Okay. And here's the thing.
Like, I go gray up here at the top, and I don't necessarily mind that. Right. It's these side pieces where it goes gray. Okay. And I don't like the side grays.
But I do see other women that are just go letting it go now, and it looks That's what I'm saying. Great. That's what I'm saying. It's hard for me to accept it on my head. Why?
I don't know. Okay. Because it doesn't look nice. It does. I like that, that gray streak that happens sometimes.
I like that look. That is nice. And I actually Can you ask for that? Yeah. And not in the way that, like I I don't want you like bride of Frankenstein.
You know? Like, that's not what I'm saying. But is there a way that you could do the streak? I mean I I think the streak is a is a bold statement. It is a bold statement.
And I think it's cool. Here's the thing about me. Because I've been dyeing my hair for so long Right. That There's no natural color in there. For me to go, like, a natural gray, I would have to go I'd have to go way back to my natural hair color Right.
And then go a natural gray. But to get it to go to the natural Yeah. Is like steps and steps of processing. Okay. Well, you're gonna be there for steps and steps of anything anyway today.
So just Not gonna happen today. Like, I have to give her some warning and say, hey. This is what I wanna do so she can adequately, like, have time to prepare. Yeah. I don't know if I wanna do that yet.
Oh, man. I honestly I honestly honestly wish that I had not dyed my hair so many years ago. Well, too late for that. Natural. I know.
I know it is. But that's if you're thinking about dyeing your hair and you're a young person, I don't know. Would not recommend. Well, okay. Because now you feel like you have to stick with it.
Yeah. But you don't. Like, you can make that change anytime you want. Like, you could today, you could show up and go, hey. We're gonna do the cut, and I wanna talk to you about this streak.
Let's figure out the streak. Because maybe that's it. Maybe you start with the streak and see how you like it, and it's it's like dipping a toe in the water. And you go, actually, I kinda dig on the streak. I don't how big of a streak are you thinking?
Oh, it's a couple inches wide. I don't know. It's your head. I know. I mean, look.
I'm not the hair guy. I'm bald. I don't know anything about it. I just I go back and forth in between yeah. I'll just do it natural.
I'll just age gracefully too. No. I'll never grow old. Yeah. I I think the gray streak is kind of a cool thing.
I know. You like that. I think it I think if you're gonna keep dying it, fine. But throw in what about a what about a kind of a gray and black kinda thing? Like, what is that a thing?
Like, you're adding in a gray highlight now. So it's a transitional thing. Go from all black into a black and gray. I've got a picture of a black and gray that's really kinda cool. Like a Cruella de Vil?
No. No. No. No. No.
No. Not not half your head one color, half the other color, which is also a bold statement. It's a bold look. I'm talking about Oh, I see what you're saying. There's there's one here that I that came upon.
I just searched gray streak, and it came up as a a there's a couple of, like, a it's a natural gray blend is what it's called. Oh. And it's nice. Can I do a gray blend? Actually, that is it is rather nice.
My guy I think that'd be an okay like, it looks finished. Right? It doesn't look just like like gray, like, old lady hair. Right? Like, it looks like it's got texture in there, and there's highlights and different things.
But that's kind of a good look. And maybe that'd be better than what you're thinking you'd look like with gray hair. Yeah. Maybe. Because I think you think you're gonna look like the witch from Snow White.
Yeah. Yeah. And it's not that. I'm gonna have to start carrying around apples and poison. Yeah.
And you eat this apple, little girl. It's gonna be real strange. I know. So it's not that. It's definitely that's not what I'm trying to accomplish.
I'm trying to get you to be a little bit more confident and and break into something new. You know? But if you do like a a thing like that, that'd be cool. I'd be into that. It does look cool.
I do like it. I don't know. We'll see. Surprise me, or you're gonna walk in and go, it's the same. We just did the same thing.
Hey. It's Would You Rather, This or That. Okay. This is kind of I've been doing a back to school Yeah. Additions the last couple of weeks.
Sure. But this kind of works for a work environment too. Okay. Back to work edition. Would you rather have a vending machine that gives free snacks whenever you want that sounds nice.
Or a nap room where you can just go take a nap anytime. What kind of snacks are in this thing? The whatever snacks you want. Your favorite snacks. Because I'm not, I'm not a big sweets guy.
Yeah. There's chips and salsa. What? I know, Josh. I know.
And queso? Yeah. No way. Yeah. It's it's your favorite snacks, chips and salsa.
Now I'm assuming the company is allowing us to have snacks whenever we want and or take a nap whenever we want. Correct. You can't have both. You could only have one. And the nap room, is it just one big room?
No. Or it's a little hot. Oh. Yep. So it's privacy.
Yeah. One big room. Well, I've just had a close five. Pick that. Well, that's one I gotta get I gotta get the details.
Yeah. It's not kindergarten. Yeah. I'm trying to decide. Feel like at this stage in my life I want a nap.
I want a nap. That's what I'm picking. I really do. Here's the thing. I can bring my own snacks.
I'll provide my own snacks. But the fact that I can be like, you know what? I just need, like, a half an hour. Yeah. Go take a nap nap.
Growing up let me tell you something. Growing up, we had an older retired gentleman who lived down the street from us, and and our family had kinda befriended him. And, we would go, you know, play in his yard and stuff like that. Like, he was a he was a good dude. And, he was a rock hound and, like, all kinds of cool things about this guy.
And, he was like a really good afternoon nap guy. Like, he was really like, hey. Listen. Like, during the summertime, he'd be like, I don't I don't want anybody coming over and and hanging out or playing in the yard or anything for these, like, blocked out couple of hours.
