Full show transcript:
Well, you can take this for what it's worth. There's, ten Sundays left until football's back. But that's preseason. Right? I don't like I don't watch preseason.
I'll just watch regular season. This year, for your Vikings team, preseason might be something you wanna watch. Why? Because you got a brand new quarterback. Yeah.
I know. But I also like to be outside. Yeah. What I don't like about football is that it takes so long. It doesn't need to be four hours.
They could wrap that up in an hour and a half. Okay. I wish that's what they would do. Okay. It's so long.
And in the winter, I don't mind because it's cold. I'll turn it on. I'll be doing stuff around the house. I'll check-in. But in the summer, when the weather is warm, um-mm.
I'm not staying inside watching football. I'm not. That's all fair. Matter how good the quarterback is. I just thought ten Sundays until football's back is not a lot of Sunday.
Yeah. Except I'm not gonna watch preseason. So But you might. JJ. No.
Yeah. I don't like him that much to do that. But he's your new guy. I know he's my new guy. What if you just love watching?
I don't think I'll love it that much. I'd rather be outside. Okay. Ten Sundays. Okay.
Okay. Alright. You ready to start the show? Yes. I did not realize that July 1 also means we are at the, second half of the year officially.
No. Yeah. As of today, it is the January of the year, which means half twenty twenty five. It just goes to a fair. I know.
I know. I know. I know. Life. Yeah.
Just slow down life. I mean, I guess that makes sense because it is the seventh month. We have finished six months. So the seventh month here is, where we're at. So, yes, second half of the year, day today, July 1.
July 1, guys and gals. Mhmm. Here we go. Mhmm. How are you gonna celebrate half year?
Half year? I'll I'll probably just I'll probably just do the same thing I do every day. Alright. What's that? I'll I'll probably just, I'll work, and I'll go home, and then I'll have some dinner.
And Mhmm. Maybe later, I'll have some dessert, and I'll say happy half year. And then I'll go to bed. Not the good dessert, though, because we're out of them. Are out of those, and that's really sad.
Yeah. But, also, is it? No. It's not. I needed to be out of those.
Yeah. I can't have those calling me from the freezer every day. Doing, hey. Here's what happened. Yeah.
We cleaned out the shed. We cleaned out the garage. Right. And there were three, count them, three boxes of clothes that I used to be able to wear Oh. That now no longer fit.
And I said as I was going through them, I go, these are some really great clothes. Mhmm. I don't wanna get rid of these. Mhmm. Really cute stuff in there.
Mhmm. And so I said, I'm gonna keep these. And what did I tell you? You said, I'm gonna keep these for one year. And if I don't fit in them in a year, I'm gonna get rid of them.
K. Is that what you said? That's what I said. And then you shove them on a shelf. Yeah.
Because, you know, there was no organization going on in there. There was so. And then I saw them on the shelf, and I said, what are these? And you said, those are clothes I've had not done for a year. You said from across the yard.
And I said, alright. Well, then I'll rearrange and make this not look like you shoved them on a shelf. I didn't shove them on a shelf. They were nicely presented. Felt shoved.
Not well, the one kind of was a little bit shoved. Yeah. Now they're not. Now they're not shoved on a shelf. So I don't need those ice cream bars in the house going, like, eat me.
But they're so good. They were so delicious. They're so Good. Good. Poof.
Babamous. Yeah. Well, we ate them. So ta da. Get don't buy more.
Okay. I won't. You you neither. Alright. You neither?
Yeah. You don't buy them either. You neither. You neither. Nor you.
I got it. Neither you. I won't. Alright. Hey.
Happy July 1. It's, it's half half year. Half year. Woo. When you were a kid, like, 10, 11, nine, 10, 11, What year was that?
'92. K. I was 10 in '92. K. What was a typical summer like for you?
I spent a lot of time outside Yes. All the time. Yeah. I remember, I'll tell you what I don't remember is a lot of wind, like like I remember now. And maybe wind just didn't bug me.
I don't know. Yeah. But a lot like, way less wind. I remember laying in the grass looking up at, like, a clear blue sky and an occasional jet cruising across. Tons of neighborhood kids running around.
Everybody, you know, from different houses playing, whatever. And then somebody come out on the back porch and go, neighbor kid, whatever their name was. Time for dinner. And then, everybody would disperse and go back to their homes, and then we were anxious for the next day. See you guys tomorrow.
Yeah. Same time, same place? Literally, dude. Riding bikes? Lots of bikes.
Yeah. Okay. So the new trend is the parents are trying to give their kids nineties kids summer. That's what they're calling it. A nineties kids summer?
Yeah. Go outside. Go outside. I don't want to see you until it's dinner time. Go outside.
Go play. Go run-in the sprinkler. Go drink some hose water. Sure. Okay.
Don't drink some hose water. Why? I don't think it's safe. Why? Because It's the same water that goes into your cup in the house.
Yeah. I know. But we've got filters in the house. Okay. I don't know.
I'm I'm I'm not recommending drinking hose water. Nothing wrong with hose. Well and, also, your hose lays out Ours is on a reel. Ours is on a reel. But then it just sits there.
Yeah. Let it run a minute. Shine on shines on it. Yeah. Let it run a minute.
I don't know. You don't want that hot hose water. That's that's the worst. Let it run a minute. Get some fresh cold water.
Just go inside and get some water. I think that's a bad idea. Outside. I said outside. Go drink from the hose like a nineties kid.
Come on. Why are you too good for hose water now? What happened in your life that you're now too good for hose water? I didn't even like hose water back in the day. I did not like it.
Yourself. Should've asked that question before this relationship start. Are you against hose water? I mean, I wasn't, but I am kinda now. Really?
I used to drink hose water all the time, but now You just said you weren't as a kid. No. I did. I didn't like it, but I did it. When I was thirsty What?
When you were thirsty, you lapped it up like a dog. Yes. Drink some hose water. There's nothing wrong with some hose water. Okay.
Listen. There was an expert at Michigan State who said that he doesn't think this is a great idea because you can't just have kids that are overscheduled with practice and dance and music and all of these camps and activities that they're in, and then technology saturated life the rest of the year, and then go to, okay. Have absolute freedom. Go go be bored. Go find something to do.
Well, he's wrong. He said that we haven't prepared our children for that. Okay. Go outside. And then somebody else said, if you force them to act like a nineties kid, they're gonna just get stressed out and more anxious than they already are.
I don't I disagree. If I say go outside and don't come in until I holler. Our kids would freak out probably. They would. I mean, now.
They'd be like, what am I supposed to do? Yeah. Go meet a neighbor kid. Figure it out. I don't know.
Fort. I don't know. A fort? Yeah. Drink some hose water.
Don't drink some hose water. Why are you so anti? Because I don't think it's safe. It is. Okay.
You go drink some today then. Okay. Alright. I'll fill up my water bottle with hose water. It's fine.
What do you think I put in the trailer? I don't drink that, though. Why? It's fine. It's just water.
It's hose water. Oh, man. Let's do some good news to get you going. This is a story about Molly Schafer who wasn't exactly the most outgoing student at Waunakee High School in Wisconsin. And during her teenage years, she worked through social anxiety issues, which made it difficult to connect with her classmates on a personal level each day.
And even though Molly didn't make daily connections, she still cared about her classmates, and that care was unveiled at the end of her senior year of high school this year when she presented 44 of her classmates with hand painted portraits. Oh, wow. They're very good. They're very, very good. Really good portraits.
Her classmates were stunned and moved with many expressing regret for not getting to know her sooner. Molly said that she put about thirteen hours into each painting How much time? Adds up to about six hundred total hours of work. The time and effort that she put into this is incredible. One student said of the painting that she made of them.
Molly explained that the painting adventure helped create connections even if it wasn't normal back and forth exchanges during each school day. She said you can't go through life thinking that you don't have friends because they don't like you because that's not the case. People aren't thinking that hard about you. It's all in your head. You just have to try.
That's true. And it's huge. Huge lesson that she is, sharing right there. But 44 of those classmates got hand painted portraits. And some of these I'm I'm telling you, like, action shots from, like, football players and, I mean, really detailed, very cool acrylic painted portraits.
They're really cool. Amazing. Yeah. So, Molly's got a future ahead of her, and she's already learned a pretty big life lesson. So, good things coming from Molly.
I'm telling you. Molly. Yeah. Really cool. And some good news to get you going.
If you're at a performance of some kind and everybody claps at the end even though you haven't enjoyed yourself, do you still clap? I don't know. That's, an interesting situation. I don't know that I've been in the situation where I didn't enjoy some I think there are times where, like, I'll be at a at a concert or something, and people will clap, after every song. I'm like, I'll I'll clap at the end.
Or okay. I I I felt a a little toe tap on that one. Maybe I'll give that one a a little bit of a clap. I don't feel like I need to clap so much. I don't feel like I need to clap after everything either.
I'm, I'm not the best audience member in the way that I just like to sit quietly. Yeah. I'm just here to enjoy everything. Yeah. There's lots of people who every time there's any kind of solo, they clap.
And I agree. Listen. Those people worked hard, but I'm like, I will clap at the end because I'm Yeah. In it, and the clapping takes me out of it sometimes. Yeah.
Or and you're right. If there's, like, a solo thing, somebody does something and then, you know, in the middle of what they're playing, you get, like, these, woo. Yeah. Like, people love a good woo. People love a woo.
And I go like, did we need the woo? Maybe maybe as a performer, you're like, yeah. I got a woo. I don't know. I I've not been on the other side of that.
If I don't feel like, oh, it was I appreciate your performance. Like, I know you worked really hard, but it wasn't my thing. I get, like, a half a clap. You get this. There's lots of other people that are clapping louder, and I'll just do kinda half.
If I really like it, then I'm like, yes. I'm all in. Okay. What about, what about when people are singing and you and you know that that moment you get the chills? Yeah.
Like, that's a moment where you go, like, wow. Like, that performance has moved me. And and I internalize that. I do too. Woah.
But there are other people that woo. There's lots of woos. I know. Here's another example. I'm an internalizer for sure.
The national anthem. Uh-huh. When do you cheer and clap? At the end. At the end to end.
Yeah. There's there's a lot of people that start wooing and clapping and hooting and hollering before the end end of the national anthem. What about standing ovations? I struggle with a standing ovation. Isn't there, like, an etiquette thing that you're only supposed to give so many a year?
I was taught that when I was younger. Somebody said you're only supposed to get in an etiquette class I took. She said, you're only supposed to give one standing ovation a year. And I go, but if you've seen a really good performance in March and you give a standing ovation, What if you see an even better one in October? And you're like, well, I've already used my standing ovation.
That October performance already knows. You're you've tapped out. I just if you feel moved to stand up, stand up. Sure. There's no rules.
But I also sometimes feel inclined to stand up when everybody else is standing up. Even if I don't necessarily agree with a standing ovation Alright. I'll stand up. But if there are people around you, they're the only ones who are going to know that you're not standing up. Yeah.
But I feel like a jerk to those people around me. That's their problem. No. No. No.
It's my problem. No. No. No. It's not.
If you don't feel like it was worthy of a standing ovation, don't give it one. And then people around you are gonna be like, wow. She didn't really like the show. Wow. What a jerk.
And no. They're not Everyone else is standing up. She's the only one sitting. Wow. Yeah.
What a jerk. And then maybe you can go, I have a bad back. I can't stand properly. Yeah. You could just be like, this seat's too comfy.
Or yeah. I didn't feel like they worked very hard. Oh, spicy. Easy for someone to say that's sitting, watching. Interesting, isn't it?
Uh-huh. The things that we feel obligated to do just because everyone else is doing. And I wonder if if that, like, the woo thing in the national anthem I was talking about. I wonder if there was one person one time at, like, a a baseball game or something that was like, oh, I thought that was the end. My fault.
My fault. My fault. But then other people heard it, and they were like, no. That was kinda cool how you Great. That was kinda cool how you clap there and didn't wait until the very end.
Maybe we'll jump in and clap and and hoot and holler there every time now. Because it sounds so cool. Yeah. Sure. Just wait till the end.
That's what I'm saying. That's right. Finish the performance and then go, yeah. Right. Because Strong.
What if you woo halfway through and then the person gets all They go like, oh, say, can you see? And you're like, woo hoo. Like, oh, is that not the end? Just wait. That's the moral.
Right? Wait till the end. I don't know. That's what I do. Same.
Not a not a mid show clapper. But there people are. I know. Okay too. I'll take the clapping and the and the woos over heckling any day.
Heckling is the worst. Hecklers gotta go. Hecklers do gotta go. You're not part of the show. You're not part of the show, and you're also not funny.
Alright. Stop it. See? That's way worse. Somebody yelling something billion times worse.
And and they're always yelling some, like, something that makes no sense. Right. Potato salad. You know, like, what? Why did you yell that?
Just wanted everybody to know I was thinking about what I'm gonna have on the side of my burger later. Potato salad. I wonder what hecklers. Do they really think that the audience is gonna be like, yeah. You're you should be on stage.
That's right. No. Yeah. You told him Everyone hates you. If you're a heckler, everyone in the audience hates you.
Yeah. Quit doing it. Quit doing it. You're not cool. Yeah.
Yeah. Told them. You heard it here first. Emery has her very first job interview today. Yeah.
It's a big deal. It's a big deal. She's a little bit nervous. She seems very nervous. Wandering around the house.
Is she up on and awake already this morning? Yeah. Did she sleep? I don't know if she did or not. I hope she slept.
I do too. She's a ballin' nerves. Her interview is at noon. Yeah. So there's no reason for her to be up this early, but she is because she's nervous.
We did a ram a run through Yeah. I saw you guys mock interview last night. How'd that go? Good. Yeah.
She said you helped ask her some, like, sample questions and stuff. Yeah. Did you just pull up a list online, or what you is that what you did? Yeah. Man.
Man, what? It's a hard thing to study for because you never know You don't know what they're gonna ask or what answers they want. You don't yeah. Interviews are hard. You you don't wanna say what they wanna hear.
You wanna be true. You wanna say what's what's real in your heart. Yeah. Can you tell? You also wanna get the job.
Yeah. But you wanna say what's real in your heart. They're like, what what's real in my heart is I don't really want a job. I just want you to pay me. Okay.
Good. Say that. Say, hey. Listen. Then they're gonna ask it gonna take for me to get a paycheck here?
And they're gonna say, well, you show up on time. You do what we ask, and, you know, we'll pay you. And then you go, sweet. No. What else?
True in my heart. What else can I do? Yeah. What, yeah, maybe what about, what about this showing up part? What about if I don't?
What's this Well, then we don't pay. A requirement for me to get paid. Right. That's what I would like to do. And then you go, okay.
Thank you. I'm a I'm a minimal minimal participant. We're gonna pass on this candidate. Next. So, no, you can't just say what's in your heart.
You can say what's in your heart, and you should. You should be true. You should be honest. You should be real. You shouldn't just say, I just, you know, I love everything about your company.
You don't know anything about this company. I don't know anything. Right. How have you done in their interviews, typically? I How have I done?
Yeah. Fine. Are you a good interviewee? Probably. I'm just gonna sit down and have a conversation.
I I don't mind. It's fine. I don't like it. I don't get stressed out about it. I do.
I no no pressure. Really? Yeah. Do you hear about this guy? He, he likes to go go online and apply for jobs.
Oh, I just need to ask that. Like, a fake resume, so he looks like incredible as a candidate. And he goes in, and he, goes through the interview process, and then, he gets done. And he's been offered some insane jobs that he is not qualified for. And he's like, I don't want this job.
And he turns them down. Unreal. Like, this is a it's a hobby for him. And what's the point of it? Well, for one, he's learning a ton about job hiring practice, and and he's also getting a ton of personal, you know, experience on interviewing and stuff.
It's a hobby. He just enjoys it. He enjoys the process of applying for jobs, and he enjoys going to interviews and doing that stuff. That sounds awful. It would be fascinating, though.
Like, if you had a a job, a totally secure, good job, no big deal, I'm not looking for work elsewhere, and that was your hobby was to apply for stuff way out of your reach and get the interviews, like, the things you would see and conversations you would hear and learn about. It's probably fascinating. I'm sure it is. But, again, I'm not gonna spend I don't wanna spend my free time doing job interviews. That's not a hobby for me.
Well, you might get more comfortable with it if you gave it a shot. That's true. You would. But, like, still, I'm like, I don't wanna spend my free time doing interviews. Especially listen.
Especially if you know there is zero pressure because you're not actively trying to get that job. Right. That then all the pressure goes away, and you just get to do an interview. You should walk into every interview like you don't want the job. What I wish is that you could do, like, a trial run of the job.
I agree. Can I have, like, two weeks at this job to see if it goes? If I like it. Even thirty days. Yeah.
Like, a thirty day sort of, like, let's let's see. Because I don't know everybody I'm gonna have to work with. Like, I you might do an interview, and you might do, like, three levels of interviews, but you're only gonna meet four or five people. Like, you're not gonna meet an entire team until you're hired on, and then you're gonna be like, this guy and and me do not Yeah. I can't work with this person.
Yeah. Or I don't really want this job. Sorry. This is not what was presented to me. That's fair too.
It's interesting. This is not the job I want. Thank you for the thirty day trial period. Well, and as an employer on the other side of it, you could probably say, hey. Listen.
We do a thirty day probationary period. We you know, you're getting paid. You're hired on. You're all part of the stuff. But understand that, like, if if it isn't working in the first thirty days, like, you can you you don't need two weeks notice.
You can walk away free and clear. It's fine. Just be like, yeah. This wasn't for me. And that way, both sides have a little bit of a window to say, hey.
Look. This is the expectation. That might actually be pretty helpful in a lot of different scenarios. I think so too. Interesting.
It is interesting. Yeah. Well, good luck to her. I'm excited for. It's gonna be a big day.
And, Good luck to anybody doing a job interview because it is stressful. It's nerve wracking. Yeah. So Even getting to that point, like like, all of the applying and all the, like, ugh. Ugh.
Yeah. Just to get to an interview and then have to, like, be like, okay. I finally got somebody to talk to me. Here we go. It's a big deal.
Job searching is no fun. Yep. Good luck to Emery. And everybody else. I got a question.
Sure. Because I believe at about 07:13 this morning Yes. You sauntered your way over to this side of the room Yes. And stole my Kleenex. Without saying a word, just came over and grabbed the box and then went back over to your side like nothing happened.
Yeah. I did that. And so then, I we had a a moment about ten minutes ago where I was out in the hall, and I said, well, I'm gonna go grab another couple boxes of Kleenex since apparently mine is no longer mine, and I'll need a new one. So I went to the supply closet and grabbed couple of boxes of Kleenex, and they're over here. And then, you came down the hall and said, hey.
I'm gonna run over here and grab some Kleenex. And now we have too much Kleenex in here. I mean, we have too much. Here's what I know. I gotta go put some back because I grabbed your Kleenex.
I said, I'm out. I'll just grab Josh's. And I was like, I'm gonna go get him some new Kleenexes. And guess what, Josh? Because I'm such a nice person, I grabbed you two boxes.
Right. I grabbed two boxes as well because I normally have two over here. So it wasn't a matter that I stole from you. Right. I was gonna replace what I had taken from you.
Fresh box. I I I'm gonna say the thing that you had said to me multiple times over the weekend. You didn't communicate that. So Quite honestly, I never even see you use Kleenex. Yeah.
I do. I have sneezing fits. I use Kleenex often. Yeah. You do.
That's why I was down to one box. Well, I grabbed you replacements. And now we have too many Kleenexes. I know. Now there's, like, five boxes in here, which is way too much.
I know everyone's gonna ask where all the Kleenex went here in the office. Not me. You gotta hide them so that nobody thinks that we are the ones that took all the Kleenex. We're not the supply closet. I'll tell you that.
It's got plenty in there. I know. We only have a few boxes. So before you make me out to be the bad guy I just it was the it was the, like, I'm not gonna say a word, come over and grab it, and leave that I was sort of taken aback. I was gonna replace it before you even noticed it was gone.
To be fair, I noticed. I watched you walk over and take it. And so when I replaced it, I actually I had thought, I'm gonna replace these ones. And if she needs another one, I'll have an extra here, when I talk about this on the radio. I didn't intend for you to also go to the closet and get more.
That was out of character. That is so rude. So I I saw an opportunity to say, hey. Here's a gift. I got you your very own box.
That's out of character. That's not out of character for me to do to replenish something that I took. That's not out of character. Oh, no. Whatever.
I'm gonna take all of the Kleenex back. You're not gonna have anything. Well, what hope you have a sneezing fit. You're like, I don't wanna do anything. Closet again.
Get more. It's fine. The point is Look at my face. At 07:13 this morning disappointed, didn't you? You stole my Kleenex.
And then I didn't even say it. Eventually. But that wasn't on the, on it wasn't part of the conversation until it happened now. Before, it was just you had stolen my Kleenex, and you didn't say a word. Like, hey.
I'm out. I'll go get another box in a minute. Like, that would've helped. But, no, it was just walk over here silently, grab it, and leave. And that's where I went, did that just happen?
So I wrote it down. At 07:15, I wrote down this thing happened. And then a lot of other stuff happened in between then and now. So I can see that you did have intention of replacing. Now Always.
Because I'm good hearted. So, anyway, I we got too much clean. Yeah. That's the whole point. Give me your stack.
I'll take them back. No. The other day here's the thing that happens at our house. Let me start this way. We don't have a very large water heater.
I mean, it's standard, but why does a normal size. Feel like we run out of hot water very quickly. We run out of water, hot water when the upstairs bathtub gets filled because it you it's a deep tub. Yeah. And you guys like to use hot water and fill it up so that you have a deep hot tub of water.
Yeah. And that uses all the hot water. Even beside that point. The other day, it's like two people can take a shower, and then it's drained. And then it's like, well, if a third person wants to take a shower, you gotta wait till the morning or wait a couple of hours.
He's gotta wait, yeah, wait for it to warm up again. It's because we have an electric water heater, not gas for one. For two, it's not an on demand, inline water heater system, which, again, would be more efficient, but it's it's not that. It's just a traditional I mean, we we got a, like, a pro, water heater when we had to replace it Yes. A few years ago.
But, you know, whatever. It's a it's a Sub par, really. It's not. It's just a normal water heater. Not pro anything.
So you you and I both needed to take a shower the other day, and you said, I'm gonna do it first because I can go really quick. Yeah. Half an hour later, I'm like, bro. Yeah. And you said, just what did you say?
I said, just go take a shower. I'll deal with I'll deal with the trickles. I'll be fine. You're such a martyr. I'll deal with the trickles.
Here you go. I always have to suffer. Listen. First of all, I don't think it was a half hour, but but the point of the matter is twenty minutes. You said, I'm gonna I'm gonna shower in about thirty five, forty minutes.
That was your schedule. No. Hold on. No. You hold on.
Uh-huh. I said that. No. Yeah. You said that.
So then I said, alright. Prior. So then my time was Yeah. Now. No.
It was ten minutes away still. No. It was not. Else I was. And, and I was out before your start time.
Wrong o. True story. Wrong o, bud. You will not win this fight because you're so wrong. No.
Because I took time. I took the time. I I noted it. And I and I know I'm right. You did not.
Yeah. No. I I'm pretty sure. Because even if it was thirty minutes, I still had ten minutes before your time was gonna start. So wrong.
So but the point is we both got to shower and both had hot water. So what's the deal? What's the big deal? What's the problem? What's the issue?
What's the deal is with this? On time? When you tell somebody, listen to me. What he's stressing out about is everything's fine. When you tell somebody I'm gonna take a quick shower Yeah.
Make sure it's a quick shower. I mean, look. I was still well ahead of your schedule, so I don't know what you're stressing about. And, also, don't do that. Go ahead.
I'll do it just a second. Say it like that. That's how you read it. Just go ahead. I always have to me.
Oh. I always have to sacrifice for you. I That's what that's what you sounded like. Not what I sounded like. Yeah.
I did. All I said was if it's so important to shower right now, then shower. I'll deal with it. I'll I'll deal with it Oh, god. Like I always do.
Yeah. Like that. Like the murder you are. I I suffer and struggle daily to make sure you are To make sure my happiness is met. That's right.
Every day, all day. Is there anything else I could do for you? Do you need a pillow? I could use one right now. Yeah.
Well, go get one. How about that? Is that what you need? Sure. Alright.
So, again, I'm just gonna say you got to shower. I showered. Everything was fine. We had plenty of hot water, and we were still on time. We were on time.
We were actually early. Well, I didn't have time to do my hair, though. So there's that. So You weren't gonna have time regardless of whether I had a quick shower or a long shower. It doesn't matter.
Yes. It I would have. Yeah? Because when you got out, you said, I still don't have enough time to blow dry and curl. Because I was waiting for you to shower.
No. Yes? No. You could have taken a shorter shower yourself. I took the shortest shower of my life.
No. You did not. What does that mean? The shortest shower of my life. Oh, no.
I only got one foot wet. Shortest shower of your life. Come on. Get real. It's funny.
It's fun being married. I took the shortest shower of my life. No. Did you wash your hair? Yeah.
Could've been shorter. Could've been Did you have to rinse it for a while? Could've been shorter. Shortest shower of my life. Come on.
I actually washed it twice. Alright. I was showing you our next our next adventure. Do you remember? I don't.
Alright. This is something we're gonna do next. It's called chain racing. Oh, no. When you said this okay.
Here's the thing. The kids went to a monster truck thing, a few weeks ago. And while they were there, they were doing, like, half car races Yeah. Where it's just the front half of a car Right. There's no back.
Right. And they were like, we need to get a half car. We gotta get in on this. This is awesome. And I I'm not we're not building a half car so that you can half car race.
And then half car race. And then no. And then you said, listen to this. Chain racing. Chain racing.
And after you explained it, which you're gonna do here in a second, I'm sure Yeah. I said immediately, oh, don't tell the kids because then they're gonna wanna have a chain race car. I want a chain race car. You don't. This is you and I are gonna do this.
Chain racing, if you don't know, is No one does. Two cars somebody might. Okay. Two cars chained together. Uh-huh.
The front car has an engine, but no brakes. Right. And the second car has brakes, but no engine. It's ridiculous. So which one do you wanna be?
The front car obviously is gonna be doing most of the steering. Do you do you would think. I'm watching first of all, it looks like a demolition derby because so many cars are broken. That's where all the Dodge Neons ended up. Oh, I see.
They're all now chain race cars. Oh, I'm gonna tell you. I don't know. I'm trying to figure out what kind of car oh, man. It's real bad.
When the one in the back with no engine starts getting out of hand, it's real bad. So which one are you gonna be? I feel like I should be the lead car. Why? Oh, what a mess.
Why why do you feel like you should be the lead car? I feel like you'd be better in the chase position with the brakes, but here's the deal. You can't push them. You can't push the brakes? Yeah.
What? Not all the time. You know how, like, when we tow a vehicle and I and I'm like, keep the tow rope tight? Yeah. I feel like you would do that in this instance, which would be somewhat helpful, but, really, I just need you to to just follow me.
Just keep it together. I just don't think that that's the position for me. I You feel like you need to be the lead car. Yeah. Interesting.
That's interesting. Why? Oh, I feel like I would just do better in that position. I wanna be in the front. One, it has the engine.
So I could make us go real fast. Yeah. I would just put But but also put on the accelerator and go. I'm watching what happens when the person in the front just goes for it, and the person behind is kind of on a terrible ride. Hey.
The Dodge Neon one. Would you look at that? You know how when we towed a car and I had a 15 foot rope Yeah. And you felt like it was too close? Yeah.
That's why I'm This is way closer. That's why I'm not gonna be behind. I think you're gonna be I think you'd like to be the chase car. Nope. I I do think you'd like to be the one with the brakes.
Wrong o, bud. I'm gonna be the one with the engine. That's my role on the team. I don't know. I'm nervous about it because you also have to make quick decisions, and you've gotta be able to zig and zag.
And listen to me, there's no communication between the two. I'm not seeing headsets. Like, these two aren't talking. That's because we don't need them. You and I are already so in sync.
Do you know do you know can't figure that. You're not. Do you know how frustrated I'm gonna be behind you going, we're twisted again. We're twisted again. It's gonna be not good.
It's gonna be fun. Here's the deal. I'm gonna be, driving my chain car, and you can drive your chain car. Who's your teammate? You.
No. Because I feel like we'd be better as competitors than teammates in in chain car. I don't. You know why? Because I'm not competitive unless it's against you.
That's what I'm saying is if I'm competing with you, like, I'm We'll be the best. We'll be the best team. No. I wanna race against you. You've always ruined my dreams.
No. I want you to drive. I just also wanna drive, and that's the problem. We can't both be front cars, no brakes. Then we're just gonna have to race twice.
Each of us gets a turn in the lead car. Each of us gets a turn in the brake car. I don't think the cars make it out alive very much. We'll have four sets of cars. Two sets.
Four sets. Two sets. Four cars. Chain racing. It's on.
I'm gonna I'm gonna do some research. I'm gonna find out where this is happening. I don't know if it happens locally. It feels like a Fun? It feels like a Kentucky kinda sport.
You know? I we've got some of that stuff here. Don't I've seen some demo racing derbies here. There's plenty of demo derby. I'm not I'm not disagreeing with you, but chain racing feels like somebody was sitting around and went, you know, it's a good idea.
Chain them two cars together. It is a good idea. I'm I'm in full support. We've got a car already that we can put in. No.
We do not. Quit trying to break that car. I'm a big fan of the sand lot. The movie? Yes.
Not the sand lot in the backyard. Well Just the sand the movie that's sandlot. Interesting that you would say it that way because the sandlot is kind of backyard baseball, isn't it? Yeah. And, there is actually something called backyard baseball, and, it it was a video game in the early two thousands.
And, they're bringing it back. The video game? Yeah. 28 original Major League Baseball legends, including Derek Jeter, A Rod, and Sammy Sosa, playable in the game, which is cool. A A Rod?
No. Just Alex Rodriguez, not A A Rod. Who's AA Rod? No one. You're confusing a Key and Peele sketch about the way that people pronounce names with a baseball player.
Okay. A Rod, Alex Rodriguez, and A A Ron are not the same thing. They're not even related. The game has been updated with some new controls and some official Major League Baseball branding, And the goal here is to represent a mix of old school charm with a modern twist. How about which is kind of exciting.
Even better than that Mhmm. Let me present this idea. Alright. How about you just instead of playing video games, you just get outside in the backyard Well and play Backyard baseball. Or kickball.
If not Kickball's fun. Kickball is so fun. I don't think they've ever made a kickball video game. No. They shouldn't because that would never be as fun as playing real life kickball.
Except you can play it in winter? Yeah. Anyway, if this thing's big, they may bring other backyard sports games. What what other I mean, if they did a kickball one, that'd be cool. What other things?
Yeah. What other what? What other games? Backyard games. Backyard, cornhole.
Cornhole video game. Yeah. Oh, boy. Ladder golf. Yep.
That sounds fun. Horseshoes? Badminton? Come on now. I feel like badminton is a Wii sports game.
Croquet? Oh, bocce. Oh, bocce is so fun. Jarts. You know, the metal lawn darts.
If you play Jarts Uh-huh. Why is it called Jarts? Great question. I think that was just the brand. Do you have to wear Jorts?
Sure. I don't know why they call it all. It's because, it's short for Javelin Darts. Oh. Jarts.
Lawn darts, also known as Javelin Darts. Jarts. Lawn jarts or yard darts. It should be called yarts. Yarts.
Not jarts. Mhmm. Or lawn darts. Yeah. But it's javelin darts or jarts.
Stupid. Anyway, a jarts video game would be cool. No. It wouldn't. Yeah.
It's like horseshoes meets darts. Jarts. In your jarts. Jarts in your jorts. You could make your character like, they they could make them all look real goofy.
Like, you could wear silly pants and a weird hat, funny glasses, that disguise with the mustache and the big nose. Just go outside and play these games for real. You can't get metal jarts anymore. People are getting hurt. I I gotta see.
Oh, actually, yes. Someone did die. Oh, no. Now I feel really bad. In 1987, someone died when a JART hit them.
Yeah. Now I feel cut that from the Very bad. Cut that from the record. Very bad. In Canada, JARTs caused at least fifty five serious injuries.
No way. They were banned for sale in the country in July of nineteen eighty nine. Oh, no. Now they do have a modified State to video. Safer version of lawn darts that you can get now that have a blunt tip design, and it's kind of, like a Nerf foam.
So you can still play everyone's favorite lawn game, Jarts. That's what it says on the packaging. Some are fun. Some are not. Oh, good one.
I was reading something recently that said, once you reach adult status, you switch to calling your parents their name, their real name. No. I know. I know. I go, what?
I can't. You you sometimes will refer to my parents by name, and I'll go, that's you. Weird. Just say your dad, your mom. Like, don't like, why are you saying their names?
It's weird. I don't I don't care for it. What else do I call them? Your dad, your mom. When I when I talk about your mom and your dad, I go, oh, your mom this, your mom your dad this, whatever.
I don't say their names. It's strange. I don't I don't care for it. Don't call them by name. It's weird.
Ew. Gross by their don't say Linda. Yeah. Ew. I don't go like, oh, Linda called.
That that's weird. I go, no. Your mom called. Well, I don't do that either You do. To you.
You do. If your mom calls, they say, hey. Your mom called. No. You don't.
I never say, Coleen called. Yeah. You'd you'll tell a story, and you'll and you'll be like, oh, and then Coleen did this thing. And I go like, who? What are you taught?
Who is that? Just say your mom. It's weird. Don't like it. Don't be weird.
I'm not being weird. You're the weird one saying their names. I think it's weird that if you I don't know. Who said if you're an adult, you call them by their names? I read it online somewhere.
No way. It's weird. Right? It's weird. When I called my dad up and go, hey.
What's going on, Bob? Yeah. No. Hey, Bob. Yo.
So Robert called. What? Robert. No one has ever called my dad Robert. I call him.
Any time I've ever known him, he's been Bob. I call him Robert. Go, Robert. Oh, Robert. Bob.
He's Bob. Yeah. Bob. That's a weird thing. What?
Say their names. Don't say their names. It's your mom, your dad, my mom, my dad. Not I feel like it gets weirder the more we say it too. Like, if I Linda Linda.
Linda and Bob. Yeah. This feels weird. What about Robert Linda? No.
That's not Is that weird? That's so weird. But then I go because we're parents. You and I? Yeah.
If our kids ever said our names, that'd be weird too. I know. Like, ew. I'm dad. Don't call me that.
Emery, for a minute, was calling you Josh. Right. And then that's not my name. I don't know why she was doing that. Why was she doing that?
To test me. Ew. Apparently, it worked. Yeah. I don't like She got tested.
I don't like it. It's not my name. You can call me dad. It's my name to other people. Like, not everybody gets to call me dad.
Like, that's something special for the kids. Take advantage of that. You know? Okay. Taking advantage of it.
Yeah. Like, I get to call somebody dad. That's cool. I wonder if she ever I don't know. It'll be I wanna hear our kids say our names now.
I don't. I really know. Weird. I don't even know if Beck knows my name. I don't think he does say it.
Who are you? You live here too? I've I've seen you around here. I just assumed you just frequented this place. You're a regular.
Yeah. You're just a silent roommate Yeah. I just wanders around. I I got called kind of a silent roommate yesterday by Emery. Yeah.
She told me that same thing. Yeah. And I I because I I got home. I went, hey. How are you?
And she's busy looking in her mirror, doing her hair, whatever. That is not the story she told me. Yeah. And so then I went, and I was working on the garage. I was doing a bunch of stuff.
I let the dog out, talked to her about the dog. There was, you know, multiple little conversations, and then she went about doing her own thing while I was working in the garage. Or as she said, he fell asleep and then was asleep until, like, two minutes ago. You know? Or that, which is not what happened, but that's fine.
She told me you came home. You said, hey, Emery. And then you went in the garage for a little bit. You're working in the garage, and then you went and laid down and took a nap. And then the second I pulled into the driveway, you jumped out of bed.
No. And you were like, hey. Hey. I'm awake. I I definitely was not napping.
Oh, I napped. But I'm just the silent roommate. Yeah. That's what she told me too. Pay attention to our daughter, Josh.
Okay. Do you think you're cool? No. Oh, I think you're cool. Okay.
Cool. That's nice. That's one of us. I was just looking at you in the hall. You looked cool.
Your hat was backwards. Oh, yeah? Yeah. You looked cool. Nice.
I think you're cool. My hat's not backwards anymore. Am I still cool? Yes. Alright.
Far out. I don't, I don't I don't know. I just feel like just a normal guy. I don't feel like I'm exceptionally cool. I think you're cool.
I don't know. What defines a cool person? Oh, you know? Okay. Alright.
What defines a cool person? They asked about 6,000 people in different countries to figure out what was cool, and it turns out a global study? It is a global study. Okay. Where you live doesn't necessarily matter, so it's not like everyone from Germany is cool.
Oh, okay. I wouldn't have said that either. Like, woah. There are six traits. Being extroverted, adventurous, open, autonomous, hedonistic What?
Hedonistic. Hedonistic? Hedonistic. K. And powerful.
I gotta look up that one. Autonomous means that you're independent and you don't try to fit in. Hedonistic means that you can enjoy yourself without feeling guilty about it. And powerful just means powerful. Hedonism is actually very interesting.
Very cool? Would you say cool? If none of these traits fit you None of them? None. Does it mean that you're not a old person?
Are you not are you not feeling them? Extroverted? It depends on the circumstance. K. I feel like the older I get, the more introverted I become.
Adventurous? Not so much. Alright. Open? I feel like I'm pretty open.
Autonomous? I'm independent, I think. Okay. Hedonistic? I don't know if I can feel fun without feeling guilty about it.
Why would you feel guilty about having fun? Well, it's like if you have ice cream, then you feel guilty Okay. Because you're like, But that's not what hedonistic actually is. Okay. So Is that what it they described it as?
Yeah. It's wrong. K. It's It is I will. It's a lifestyle or behavior focused on the pursuit of pleasure and the avoidance of pain.
That is what hedonistic is. It is the concept rooted in philosophy where pleasure is considered the ultimate good and the primary driver of human action. So it is, like, indulgence, a focus on sensory experiences. Like, you've gotta be able to be, like, I feel good, and I'm avoiding what doesn't make me feel good. Okay.
Okay. What it is. Really. I feel like I do that. Right.
So I have two of the six things. Two and a half of the six things to make me cool. So that's not a great score. That's not a great score. Am I still pretty cool?
2.5 out of six. Hey. I said that you were cool. 2.5 out of six is Hey, Josh. Is 41%.
You got a 41 on the cool meter. I said that you were cool. Okay. How many do you feel like I have out of those six if you as you look at it? I think you're extroverted.
I think you're adventurous. I think you're open. I think you're autonomous. Yeah. I think you're hedonistic.
Okay. I don't know if you're powerful. Well, six out of six is a 100. So five out of six gets you what? Well, I mean 83%.
Their definition of powerful means that you're confident and you don't let people push you around. And I feel like you fit in that definition. Yeah. I mean, I'm pretty, pretty firm in my like, I'm not gonna park this shit. You absolutely are.
So you're six out of six. My bad. That's a 100%. What? What a cool guy.
Hey. I said you're cool. Yeah. I'm if I'm if you think I'm a 100% cool and you think yourself as 41% cool Yeah. I don't think that you should think that poorly about yourself.
You're way cooler than two and a half out of six. That's nice, Josh. Yeah. I said one nice thing. I said one nice thing first.
Would you choose between a or b? Would you rather this or that? Would you always would you rather always have to Would you always would you always would you rather always? Have to wear a big floppy hat Okay. Or always have to wear water wings?
Where do you come up with this stuff? Just in my brain. Cool. I'm gonna go with the big floppy hat. You would?
Because I have a big floppy hat. You do? And I love it. You do have that. And whenever I wear it, everyone makes fun of me.
Is that because of it being a big floppy hat? Yeah. Yeah. And then I say make sense. Bring me the sun tea, please.
No. You've never said that. What are you going with? I'm having a hard time. If you go with the water wings, they're always gonna be a little too small too.
That's true. It's very true. Very true. Do water wings even do anything? I don't know if they do anything.
I've never tried. They might. I just have never I've never actually, like I don't know if it's enough to keep you afloat. No? No.
I'm gonna get some. I'm gonna get some. And float around with them? Yeah. Okay.
Let's see if they work. Yeah. I I'm gonna I'm not gonna take the water wings. You're gonna take a big floppy hat? Yeah.
You're gonna look so cute. I don't want this all day. I wanna be able to put my arms down. So if I have a hat on, I can at least, you know And then you'll lift it up. Back Oh, cute.
