Hey, you. Hey, you. Happy twenty, twenty year anniversary. Happy twenty year anniversary, Joshua. If you had to go back in time to any year in our twenty years, where would you go?
Where would I go? I don't know. I kinda like this one. You like where we're at now? I do like where we are now.
Well, good. Because that's where we're at. What about you? Probably the beginning beginnings. I think, I think that was super fun.
Not that it isn't fun now, but there's something about that, like, new new kindled romance love. Yeah. I get it. And that's fun, but there's a lot of stuff you gotta work through. Oh, yeah.
You're trying to work on yourself, and you're trying to figure yourself out, but then you're also trying to navigate somebody else's stuff and you're like, this is not it's it wasn't I don't wanna say that it was hard because it wasn't hard. No. I get it. It was it's tricky. Yeah.
Well, and maybe it isn't necessarily about, maybe it isn't necessarily about, like, going back to relive it, but maybe go back to, like, watch. Okay. You know? Yeah. I Like, just rewind the tape so I can go see, like, look at how silly we were at our 20s.
Yeah. And in the beginnings, it was fun, and we I don't know. But we I don't know. We curtailed your, responsibility. We did.
I'll tell you that much. But I was I was just thinking about financially. Oh, yeah. Like, we it was like, oh, we we gotta make more money. Yeah.
I mean, I still think that's true for us now and for everybody else. I think so too, but You gotta make more money. You know, I had a I had a really awesome basement apartment that you loved and wanted to hang out in all the time and that didn't freak you out. We had a a real friendly neighbor upstairs. She was cool.
You know, just stuff. Anyway, I'm I'm, I'm excited to be where we're at. Me too. And and I'm I'm good with that answer. I think that's I think that's right.
Let's stay where we are. Continue to grow. Continue another twenty years or so from now, though. Why not? I'm here for it.
Are you? Yeah. Alright. I'll stick around too, I guess Sweet. If I have to.
Sweet. Ball and chain and all that. You wanna start the show? Let's do it. Alright.
Here we go. Hi. Hi. What's up? Oh, what's up with you, buddy?
You know, just having a morning. Just having a morning. Just a regular old day. Nothing special going on over here. No.
Nothing too exciting happened. No. Just a rainy cloudy It was a weird, sunrise. Like, the the cloud was all lit up. I know it was kinda pretty, wasn't it?
Kind of interesting. Mhmm. Mhmm. Let's see. Yeah.
Nothing. Nothing else. Well Yeah. I guess, just call it a day. Sounds fine to me.
Come on. What's going on? Joshua, we've been married for twenty years today. Is that right? That's right.
I forgot about that. You did not. Here's what else is happening today. Happening today? Hot enough for your day.
That's how it's written. It's also vanilla ice cream day and sprinkle day. So Oh. I didn't know that. I did not know that today.
And peanut butter and chocolate day. A combo. You know what else is a good combo? Peanut butter. I'm chocolate.
Peanut butter and chocolate. Alright. You don't wanna be peanut butter? I'll be peanut butter. Well, I I wanted to be chocolate, but it's okay.
I'll be peanut butter. Well, we can switch. I'm not I'm not married to How about I'll be you be vanilla ice cream, and I'll be sprinkles. Alright. That works too.
Sounds good. What do they call sprinkles in The UK? Hundreds and thousands. That's crazy. Why is that crazy?
What does that even mean? I like it. You like hundreds and thousands Yeah. Instead of sprinkles? Yes.
It's an interesting thing they do. Sure is. I always like spray paint. They call it rattle can. Do they?
Yeah. They got such good stuff. Because it is a rattle can. I know. Their words are much better sometimes, I think.
Are there names for things? Yeah. Yeah. Well, happy anniversary. Happy anniversary, Josh.
I could stay on task. That would be neat. But I can't. Congrats to us I know. Making it this far.
It's been a uphill battle Hey. Every day. Hey. Uphill both ways. No.
It's a big deal. It is a big deal. '20 is is 20 as big a deal as '25? I think every year is a big deal Oh, I agree. Quite honestly.
I was just trying to see because what's the the big yeah. '25 is when you hit the silver anniversary. I see. Yeah. So that's, like, the first real big one.
I think '20 is, I thought well, '7 isn't '7 the first real one? I don't know. People say I don't know what you get the seven year itch. I don't know what that is. '20 is fine China.
Oh, look at us. Do we need that? Fine China. I that would mean I'd need a curio. I don't need that.
I don't want fine China. I don't. I don't have space for it. I won't ever use it. No.
Ten years ago, was tin or aluminum. Here's a pack of soda and a and a bunch of green beans. And a pen? And aluminum. Here's some aluminum foil Yeah.
To wrap all your leftovers. Do they get, like, bigger and bigger as you go? Like, 30 is a pearl. Okay. I see what's happening.
What's happening? They get more and more expensive the older you get. 35 is coral. Coral. Coral.
Coral. Yeah. How do you buy coral? Forty. So twenty years from now, ruby.
Oh. Yeah. And then Ruby Ruby. If you make it to fifty, so it's thirty years from now, that's a big deal. What's that one?
Gold. Oh. Yeah. That's a big one. Tin.
Tin. Tin for 10. Tin for 10. Yeah. I know what you mean.
20 is fine China. I don't want fine China. 25 is silver. 30 is pearl. I don't wanna name that.
Third okay. Well, happy anniversary. Happy anniversary to you, Josh. We are here in the studio. We're planning on, taking some time off this weekend and actually actually celebrating.
Mhmm. But but today's the day. So high five to us. High five to us. I can't reach you.
Like you. Oh, look. We can almost reach. I still like you. You do?
I do. What? I still like you, and I still love you. Aw. I think that's important to have both.
I agree. A group of tech nerds in Amsterdam came up with a new gadget called the dream recorder. Woah. Get this. It records your dream.
Hold on. Hold on. So here's what I imagine, and and tell me if I'm off base here. Sure. Some sort of head device, with electrodes No.
That, records brain activity. No. Alright. I that's kind of what I wish it would do, but it doesn't. So, basically, it's slightly bigger than an alarm clock with a screen on the front that shows colorful, low definition clips of your dream that you've described.
Alright. You you have to remember your dream, describe one No. Less, and it turned your description into a video. I know. I was super excited until I read about it, and then I went, no.
It stores a week's worth of dreams, and it's meant for reflecting on the meanings of your dreams as they echo into waking life. Woah. You can't buy one. You have to build it. Uh-huh.
It's not that hard. Does it run on, like, raspberry pi or something? Sure. What what? Sorry.
Did I go to tech geek? Yes. That's fine. Yes. Yes.
Alright. That don't worry about it. Okay. Have you heard of the AI video app called the Luma? No.
It's kind of built Look. That's that's exactly what I knew was gonna be happening here. You're you're either verbally or typing, in an app, what you dreamt about Yeah. And AI is better than short clips. It's about $330.
I could do that with existing software every day, and and it'd be fine. The pictures that I see of this thing, like, the dreams itself, I'm like, what is this? Well, that's because it's someone else's dreams, isn't it? No. No.
No. Just the quality of the dreams. Not even the dream itself. The video quality? The video quality Yeah.
Is You said it was low resolution. Yeah. It's low def. Yeah. For sure.
It's because it's all they could afford. There will be a four k version soon. It'll cost $500. It's so bad. Like, the low def is so bad.
Ultra low definition is what it is. Low definition. What's this thing called? It's called Dream Recorder. That's a terrible name.
You Woo hoo. Dream. I know what it's called, but what does it do? Did you get my Dream Weaver song? Dream out.
No. I heard it. You didn't say anything about it? It's oh, okay. Have you look at the videos.
I'm watching. I'm looking at their official website. They're bad. I mean, you know. Right.
It's gotta be built on Raspberry Pi. I don't know. I I kinda like here's what I kinda like. What do you kinda like? Like, here's the thing about the ultra low resolution thing is that it kinda looks dreamy.
It looks dreamy. I think that was intentional, but I want high def of my dream. But it also like, they've they've written some code into the AI. So you aren't just you aren't just able to type in, like, a thing. Like, it keeps it dreamscape y, and that's part of the the design of their I get it.
Of their AI. It's abstract dreamscape. Yeah. Like, it's supposed to feel kinda weird. Yeah.
Yeah. So, like, the person said, I dreamt of a giant stone castle, a patchwork of villages trailed behind nearby mountains veiled in mist. Though, that's what a poem. That's a poem. A poem?
A poem. But then it just turned in those three little sentences into, like, a a a dreamscape of things like building and growing and moving and, yeah, and then in ultra low resolution Yeah. On purpose. Like, we go, oh, that kinda looks like mountains. I get it.
That's very dream state like. I just I thought it was gonna be cooler than it was than it is. So It's also using the same like, it's very primary colors. Yeah. Everything like, there's no real detail, lots of saturation, lots of primary colors, and some secondaries.
There's some oranges and some greens, but it's, like, very limited on its color range. It's interesting. It's a prototype. I don't think so. I mean, this is what they wanna build.
And you said you have to build yourself. You have to build it yourself. Yeah. Figure out what hardware you need. Raspberry Pi.
What's are you gonna explain what Raspberry Pi is, or do I even care? No. I don't care. It is built on Raspberry Pi. Is Just so you know.
Yeah. It is. You. It is. Do you feel good about knowing that?
I mean, you know, whatever. I figured as much. You didn't know. You're so techy and cool. Oh, yeah.
I'm such a nerd. To celebrate the new Smurfs movie, which opened in theaters over the weekend, if you missed that I'm okay. Three characters, Smurfette, Papa Smurf, and No Name went to a minor league baseball game in Staten Island, New York. And the Smurfs were at the stadium to meet, pose, and dance with fans between innings, and they even messed around, with the team mascot, Frankie the fairy hawk. Event was actually, pretty cool.
It was, the executives from Paramount Pictures who presented a $10,000 donation to the local pediatric can't cancer, center. Fantastic. Great cause. And they just brought the Smurfs along, for fun. Pretty unforgettable day for nearly 2,000 young fans, and the donation is sure to go a long way toward giving a boost to young cancer patients.
Here's $10,000. Thanks, Paramount Pictures. Yeah. And thanks for bringing along the Smurfs so they could hang out with Frankie the fairy hawk. I gotta tell you.
Something about these, these minor league teams, There's some good names in there. Some of their mascots are pretty good, these minor league teams. I I'm not mad about them. That's a good story, Joshie. Yeah.
That's good news. It's supposed to be. You imagine if it was good news and I told bad news? No way. No.
It's good news. For, I don't know, a handful of months or so, we've had an app on our phones, that lets us kinda see where everybody's at. Right. Like, physically. And and not in, like, a we need surveillance on you kinda way and just kind of a little fun, oh, you arrived at work.
You made it safely to school. You made it home kinda way. Right? Exactly. Just kinda keeping tabs on everybody so we kinda know, what everybody's up to.
Well, this app has a a thing called Bubbles. And, I knew about this from, like, when we first got the app. I did a bunch of research on it. And so I said, oh, this is kind of a cool feature. If you're if you've got some shopping to do for, you know, an anniversary or something, you can, turn on a bubble, and it doesn't show your precise location anymore for a determined amount of time.
Yeah. And then it does give other, users the ability to pop the bubble. Does it? Yeah. If you, like, wanna ruin all the fun.
I didn't know that I could pop it. Yeah. Like, in an emergency or something, you would be able to do that. But it also like, if there's a car accident or if there's Oh, I see. You know, those kind if if an SOS is triggered, like, whatever, it will automatically pop the bubble so you can get help, from your people.
So that that all exists in there. But I had some running around. I had some errands to do yesterday, and so I turned on the bubble. And you said you got a notification that I turned on the bubble. Yeah.
I got a notification that you turned on the bubble, and it said, I'll be in a bubble until 06:17PM. If you need me, message me. And I went, what? And I looked at it, and you have it is like on the little math thing, your little caricature and your bubble. You get to draw the bubble as big as you want too.
So I just made it cover the whole town. So because I didn't know where I was gonna go for sure, so I wanted to make sure to make shot of it. And I was getting ready to send it to the family to be like, what is this? Uh-huh. And immediately got a message from our daughter Yeah.
That said, dad's being suspicious. It's dumb. She was so upset. I got home, and I and I, I'd ridden a motorcycle, and I had to go get my truck to go drive around and stuff, and, run these errands. I had to go to the grocery store.
I had to do a couple other stops. And, and so I I'm standing there in the doorway, turning on the bubble thing, and she's like, what are you doing? And I said, I know I can turn on this bubble thing. So she's looking at it, and she's like, well, here's where you go in to, like, make that work. And I said, yeah.
I know. I just needed to figure out how to turn it on. So then I I figured it out, and immediately, she was like, well, that's dumb, like like, right away. And, and she was like, why won't you tell me what what you're up to? And I said, because how many people can keep a secret, Emery?
And she said, two. And I said, no. You know the answer is one. The answer is one. You wanna keep a secret, don't tell anybody.
That's how secrets work. And she said, so does that mean I can't come with you? And I said, no. You can't come with me? She's like, oh.
Yeah. She said a meltdown. Didn't take me with him. Said I couldn't know or come. Yeah.
He's so dumb. I'll just be stuck at home all day. Meanwhile, I'm like, yeah. I don't like this. I don't like not knowing stuff.
Sorry. So we harrumphed together. Well, good for you too. They were not happy about the bubble. I don't know that the bubble was even on, Beck's radar.
I don't think he even noticed that a bubble happened. Doesn't care about any of us. No. He he doesn't. No.
He didn't ask. Like, what was that bubble thing about? Nothing. He doesn't care. Yeah.
Beck is in his own thing. He does his own world, which is fine. He's old. He should be doing his own thing, but it might be nice if he just cared about us a little bit. Like, you even said, hey.
That bubble thing was weird. Yeah. I yeah. I know. No.
Nothing. Yeah. Alright. Well, sorry to burst everybody's bubble. What is that laugh?
I don't. Here's the thing. You ran some errands. I didn't run any errands. I know.
It's embarrassing. I don't. Now I feel like a bad spouse. Why are you You don't even know what I'm up to. Don't know what you're up to, but that's the most frustrating part of all is that I have no idea what you're up to.
Well I don't like it. I don't like surprises. Find out at some point. Today or later. I don't know.
We'll have to see. Hate surprises. No. You don't. I don't like knowing about a surprise.
Oh, there's there's a surprise. Don't tell people. I told you there's a surprise. And then give me the surprise. That's how surprises work.
I can't. Not time. Here's the surprise. Not It's not time. I got a surprise, but you're gonna have to wait.
You're gonna have to wait. I hate that. And you know I hate that. After twenty years, you know there are. I know.
And it's a fun button to push. I like pushing that button. That's a good one. And as much as I can pretend that I don't care, like, whatever. Do whatever.
Oh, I know. It's eating you up. It is. It really is. I up to in the bubble?
I don't know. When do you wanna find out? Now. Well, no. You can't.
You're gonna have to wait. It's Shark Week this week. You talked about this last week. It's a corporation. Going on?
Yeah. It's an entire week. Well, I know that, but I I thought it was, like, kicked off on Thursday or so. I guess I didn't think it was a full seven days. You know?
I thought maybe it was, like, five. I don't know. Okay. So my question for you is, Josh, you're in the water. Swimming swim.
You're not really a much swimmer. You're Just go on with your hypothetical. You're in the water. You see a fin. Yeah.
What do you do? Get ready to punch. You're gonna punch? Well, if I have to. Are you going to before you start to punch, are you gonna be as still as you can?
That's what I would do first. I would just T rex. No. I know. But the thing that I heard is that if you start flopping around Yeah.
Or trying to swim away Yeah. Then it makes it seem like you're in distress. Already was in distress for being in the water without being able to see the bottom. I already was distressed. So the flailing is happening.
So you're not gonna and you can't tread while you're saying. What's And that's still flailing. Treading, you still have movement. No. But I can do it soft.
I'm a good treader. I know. Good for you. Thank you. I feel like I'm running out of steam after about four of those.
Yeah. And I have no idea. My arms and legs don't work in coordination. It's a bad time. You're like, just do this.
You could do this all day. I'm like, no. I'm sinking already. That is one of the very few things that you cannot do. There's not a lot tread water.
That I don't think you can do. You can do quite a few things. You cannot tread water. Just do this. Yeah.
That's the that is the same feeling. You just doing this with your arms and legs is the same as me trying to teach you how to snowboard using your toes and heels. Okay. Just do this. Stop saying that.
I can't do it. I don't know why, though. It's And it's not like I can see underwater to even know what you're doing. Okay. I just see shoulders.
Just do this. Try it out. You can flow forever. No. I can't.
Okay. So what I would do first is stay very still because I don't wanna appear like I'm a distressed animal. I'm a distressed animal. Yeah. You are.
So I'm gonna tread slowly away from you. Lightly, you might say? Yeah. You're gonna tread lightly? Uh-huh.
Away from me. Yeah. Yeah. Okay. That's a I don't have to be faster than the bear.
I just have to be faster than the slowest person. That's your that's your plan? Right. See you. Well, hop if you if you did, like, a piggyback, I can try No.
For both of us. No. You can't. I absolutely could. No.
I could. Piece of cake. We're We're gonna try that the next time we go swimming. Oh, okay. On my bed, I can.
You can piggyback tread water. Yeah. I mean, you might have to throw in a couple of kicks every now and then. Small, Josh. Small kicks.
Kick like that. What you're talking about? I was looking to see tonight on Shark Week. It's alien sharks, death down under. That's a scary one.
Expedition Unknown Shark Files. Oh, that's a scary one too. And Expedition X Malpello Monster Shark. Tomorrow is Frank and Shark. Okay.
Time out because we haven't finished talking about if you see a fin in the water. Yeah. Well, I'm in trouble. Why? That's what's happening.
And then I'm gonna swim away slowly. Slowly. Yeah. I don't. What are you supposed to do?
You know how, like, you have all these rules for bears if you're in bear country. If there's a grizzly, you're supposed to do all these certain things. If it's a black bear, you're supposed to do all these certain things. If it's a brown bear, do all these certain things. But nobody preps you for sharks.
What are you supposed to do if you encounter a shark? Here's here's why you've heard more about bears. Because we live in bear country. Hello. I know.
But I also feel like we should know about sharks. Okay. Well, then you gotta research about sharks. Here's what I know. There are thousands of reported bear encounters each year in The US.
K. There are about 60 to 70 unprovoked shark attacks each year. Unprovoked. 60 to 70 shark encounters. Provoked shark encounters out there.
Listen. Yeah. Somebody's out there. Hey. Shark.
Come here, buddy. I'm sure there are some people Did you hear what I said? No. What? 60 to 70 shark encounters per year.
Yeah. Thousands of reported bear encounters. Reported. Yeah. Yeah.
60 to 70 with a shark. Thousands of bear encounters. Okay. Fine. Do you see what I'm saying?
I see what you're saying. That's why you hear a lot about bears and not so much about sharks. I also just wanna know what to do in a shark event. Tread lightly. They hunt alone.
Right? Like, they don't they don't travel. Imagine if the the orcas are a pack animal, but could you imagine a pack of sharks? No. Scary.
Jets. Nice. I did some math yesterday. Nice. Big day.
What'd you learn? I learned that in twenty okay. We've been married twenty years today. That's right. But we've known each other for twenty two years.
Yeah. That's right. We met in 02/2003. That's right. So It checks out your math so far.
It's Spot on. Okay. Yeah. Your sources are accurate. So in twenty two years, you and I have visited 13 states.
Wait. Wait. Wait. You seriously sat down and visited did. Together, we visited 13 states together?
Correct. This includes driving across the country, I assume? Yes. Okay. We have driven eight different vehicles.
Well, we've driven more vehicles than that, but we've We've owned? We've owned or leased or How much time did you spend counting? It wasn't that long. Alright. 13 states.
We've lived in five different houses slash apartments. K. We've owned three fish, two dogs. Yeah. We've raised two kids.
Yeah. And we have visited one country together. One other country being Canada. Yes. Yeah.
So far needs to be more. I know. That's my saddest one. We need to go to more. Yeah.
When you see more of the world Yeah. 13 states is pretty good. 13 states is pretty good. Right? Like, that's that's nothing to be Initially, I thought it was just 10, and then I was like, oh, no.
Wait. We had this one and this one and this one. Now do you count Nebraska? Yeah. I counted it.
I know you counted it, but do you count Nebraska? Yeah. I also counted Illinois. We stopped in Illinois. Oh, okay.
We didn't stop in I maybe stop in Nebraska. I know. And We drove through and, you know, if that counts as visiting, we were driving I 80 from Pocatello to Toronto, Ontario, Canada in 02/2006, 02/2005, 02/2006, something like that. Okay. I was just fleet both ways.
Through Nebraska? Yeah. I drove through Nebraska. We entered Nebraska at dusk. We left Nebraska at dawn both times.
So I never saw Nebraska. Either. It's the shadow state. It is the shadow state. I am con I'm very convinced Nebraska doesn't exist.
Should I It is. Off my list? No. It counts because we've been there, and we spent many hours in Nebraska. We just didn't stop in Nebraska.
We just kept rolling through. I don't think I don't think there was a need to stop in Nebraska. I mean Nebraska corn? State you just keep Did they have just corn in Nebraska? Is that their thing?
Don't know. That's Iowa. Iowa has corn. Right there. Yeah.
It's all in that same area, isn't it? Do you remember the name of our fish? We bought three fish. The one the so the the one that Beck had that he wanted a carnival or something. Oh, I don't remember.
Right? No. Where did he get that first goldfish? The one that died? Because he fed it all the food.
That was mine. That was That was your fish. That was my fish. That was my fish named sushi. That's right.
That's right. And, yeah, he, like, really overfed the fish. Like, the water turned brown orange. Yeah. You can't you can't dump all that food in there.
No. No. Sorry. That was not my fish. I don't remember.
Anyway, it's just fish. They were little goldfish. Yeah. Yeah. So, just real quick to revisit Nebraska, they are, nicknamed the Cornhusker State.
So, yeah, that's that's the thing. What was your we all bought a fish that year. What was your fish's name? Uh-oh. You don't remember what you named yours?
No. Well Didn't, one of us got a goldfish, and then there were, like, two of those, like, neon ones, the little blue and pink ones. Am I remembering the wrong thing? That was your other wife, I think. No.
Or was that the fish that we got from, from a former coworker? Maybe I'm thinking about those fish. Yeah. We've had more fish. Yeah.
We gotta add those fish. Yeah. Yeah. You also gotta add that one time you babysat a snake. Well, I thought about that, but we only had him for a week.
That was too long. We didn't own that snake. The longest week. Snake week. We haven't owned any birds or hamsters or gerbils Nope.
Or cats. Guinea pigs? No. Just dogs and fish. That's right.
Perfect. No complaints. I was trying to think of other things that we we could add up. Have you looked at how many days it is? I have not.
I have not looked up how many days. Twenty. Are we doing the time we've known each other at the time we've been married? Well, Soon in, like, a couple of weeks, we'll have known each other longer than we have. This year?
Known each other. Yeah. That's crazy. Isn't that crazy? Yeah.
Yeah. I've almost known you longer than I haven't known you. That's weird. Which is a good that's a good thing. Yeah.
So we've been married for seven thousand three hundred and five days. Feels like it. Yeah. I know. Feels like ten thousand, I tell you.
What was the day in October that we met or September? I think it was the fourth. Hang on one second. Uh-huh. In 02/2003?
02/2003. Yes. September 4. Okay. Yes.
So that's July that we've known each other. Almost eight thousand days. Wow. In seven more days, it will be eight thousand days that I've known you. Oh.
Ugh. Hey. Kidding. Known you for eight thousand days. That's a long time to know somebody.
It is a long time to know somebody. And I feel like I don't know about you, but I feel like I know you pretty well. Yeah. I feel like you know me pretty well. You know me better than I know you, I think.
Is that even a thing? Yeah. Okay. Okay. Alright.
Well, in seven days, so a week from today, we'll have known each other eight thousand days. That's a that's kind of a cool little thing to know. A cool milestone. Yeah. Eight thousand days.
Good grief. Oh. I know when you've known you forever. I have known you forever too. Oh, you are.
There are times when I go, oh, remember when that thing happened? And you're like, no. That was that was That was eight thousand days ago. Yeah. That was before me.
And I'm like, no. There was nothing before you. Aw. There's only you. It's only Well, now that I have a number, I'm gonna say, no.
No. That was over eight thousand days ago. I don't remember that. Eight thousand days. Eight thousand It's incredible.
Days. Alright. I've gotta revisit something that happened in the show yesterday. Do I have to? Well, only because here's why.
Here's here's the only reason why I feel like we need to revisit it. And we're not gonna revisit it in the exact same way that it happened yesterday, but, because it was it was already captured. And if you listen to wake up classy 97, the podcast, then you you already heard what what happened. But if you don't listen to the podcast, that's why I thought maybe I should share this with everybody who doesn't listen to the podcast because it's amazing. So what what was brought was it?
Coming. It's a gift from me to you, and it's a gift from you to the world. At the end of the show yesterday, we're talking about Pac Man celebrating Okay. You gotta rewind a little bit. Why?
I I just feel like this needs a little bit more backstory. You and most boys, I'm generalizing, but most boys have this inane ability. Inane, is that the right word? Like, a like, it's, like, almost built into your genetics where you can just you're just noise, but you can make sound effects. Uh-huh.
And you specifically can, like, hear something and just repeat that noise no matter what it is. Helicopter. I don't know about that. Anybody? I'm not like, what's the guy from, from police academy?
What's his name? I'm not that good. Like, let's be let's be real. Like, I'm not I'm just a dude who can make some sounds. That's all.
Most dudes can. Yeah. I want really badly to make sounds. And I can hear the sound in my head, but there's a disconnect from my head to my mouth. Yeah.
But I told you, I I think I tapped into a little bit of a secret for you. And I think the secret for you is going to be visualizing the sound as a word and then sounding out the word. Like, onomatopoeia, everything. And it doesn't have to make sense. It doesn't have to be an actual word.
But you if you can visualize it in letters, I think you'd be better at sounding it out, and you'd be able to make the sound. Okay. That's my theory for you. Okay. I at one point, I did check out there was an audio book that I checked out from the library, and it was how to make sounds.
When was this? Years and years and years ago. Should get it again. That's hilarious. I told you about it.
I don't remember that. Yeah. It was just a long time ago. I've known you for almost eight thousand days. A lot of stuff came about.
Yeah. It was probably about four thousand. Yeah. Four thousand days ago? Yeah.
I wouldn't remember that. So, anyway, yesterday at the end of the show, we're talking about Pac Man celebrating, its forty fifth anniversary, which is a big deal, and they're coming out with a new Atari and all that stuff. And you told me to make the Pac Man noise. But before I even had the opportunity, you made the Pac Man noise. And I said, I'm not gonna do it because you've already done it.
Like, you nailed it. And so then, in the podcast, if you listen to yesterday's show, at the very beginning, we spent some time, well, I spent some time playing the audio and sharing it with you. And you spent most of the time trying to catch your breath because you were laughing so much about the sound. It's so stupid. It's not.
It's amazing. And so if you don't listen to the podcast, I felt like it was important that you got to hear that audio. If you if you do listen to the show on demand on the podcast, you heard a great amount of it because we do a bonus break at the very beginning of the podcast, which is something maybe we should talk about. Like, if you listen to podcast, you get a bonus, not heard on the show, extra break right at the beginning of the podcast. So Congratulations.
It was it it sounded like this. Alright. Alright. Alright. Alright.
Alright. Alright. Alright. Yeah. Look at that.
Alright. Alright. Alright. It happened to you. It's the greatest noise.
It's Pac Man. Okay. But here's the thing, Josh. Yeah. You and the kids because you've trained our kids to do this too.
You constantly will say, what's that sound like? And then you'll pressure me into making the sound just so that you can make fun of what I have. Not true. Oh, get out of here. No.
I want I'm I'm encouraging you to practice your sound making skills. I'm impressed by your pack, ma'am. Emery had a good She did. Hers was pretty good yesterday. Did it before she looked up the sound, and she had the the waka waka waka waka waka.
She had that sound going, which I was like, that's really good. It's really good. And then I played her the podcast, and she was laughing just as hard as you were. Oh, It's so good. It's so good.
Okay. If you're an old fan of our show, early days when I first started talking on the radio with you, I asked you to give me your best evil woman laugh. That's right. I don't think you ever did, but you pressured me. Like a villain laugh.
Yeah. A villain. And you don't find it. Please don't find it. Have it.
It's right here. It's on demand. That was your evil laugh, was which has a woody woodpecker vibe to it, which is I have all this stuff. Me too. Like, any time.
Oh, fuck. Stop it. Look at all this. I have so much stuff. Two stuff.
You have two things. I don't know. I've got, I've got other stuff. I just have to look through and see what else I have. No.
Because I don't think I've ever given any more sound effects on air because I hope I'm smarter than that. Oh. Stop it. Stop. Alright.
Anyway, listen to the podcast. There's a lot of fun in there, every single day. And Just that extra bonus. Well, there's and and the whole show. But there is that whole bonus, break that we throw at the very beginning of the podcast.
So, check that out. If if you just aren't getting enough in the four hours of the regular show, there's extra Knowing what you know about me now, would you marry me again? What kind of trap is this? Twenty years, and you're gonna set me up like a like a, what is that? Knowing what you know about me now.
What? I was just looking at some pictures. This has nothing to do with it. Well, I looked at some pictures with Emery last night. Yeah.
And I kinda wanna watch our wedding video. I asked her if she had seen our wedding video, and she goes, no. I wasn't there. What? Yeah.
I know. And it's I have, I have it. I know. We gotta watch it. It's on a mini DV, though.
I've already converted it. Oh, you have? Yeah. Let's watch it. That'll be fun.
Will it? Yeah. I think so. Okay. Okay.
So I was looking through some pictures, and I saw a picture of us feeding each other cake. Uh-huh. We agreed beforehand Right. We weren't smashing cake. Gonna smash cake.
And I think, listen. Everybody can do their own thing, but I didn't wanna start off everything with a smush cake face. Like, that's that's a an interesting way to start a marriage. Oh, here. Smush face.
Fun or not. Like, I I feel like we're fun people, but I didn't feel like smooshing cake in your face was was a fun thing. Yeah. I didn't wanna do that. Yeah.
I was a little bit nervous because you said you weren't going to. And then Well, yeah, I gotta keep you on edge. That's my job. Thanks for doing that, Josh, or for not doing that rather. For not smash cake face in you.
Yeah. I was looking some of our picture, they're kinda funny because we were we were very, very poor. Not poor. Not poor. But we also didn't wanna spend a lot of money on a wedding.
Right. Our entire wedding was $1,500. Dress, tux rental, everything. I know. Venue, food.
And I think the main thing for us was we wanted to have fun, so we knew we wanted dancing. Right. And we knew we wanted good food, and those were the most important things. Good music, dancing, and food. End end of the things that we wanted, those were our priorities.
And I think we succeeded in that. I agree. So congrats. Well, to you too. To answer the original question, yeah, I would.
Of course. You have to say that because everyone is listening. Yeah. Yeah. You're right.
Once we're done, on the show here, I'll I'll tell you what I really think. What are you talking about? I was just saying all the all the anxiety, all of the snoring. Yep. All of it.
You take it all again. Yep. Nice. What about you, though? Staysies, bud.
Oh, that's I mean, let's get detailed about it. It. What do you wanna add? With everything you know about me now. Yes.
Well, cool. Yeah. Yeah. No. I appreciate that you would.

20 more. Oh, another 8,000. Yeah. In in twenty years, we'll be how old? 80.
60. No. We will not be 80. I was thinking 40. We'll be in our early sixties in twenty years from now.
Okay. I'll do 60 with you. Okay. At least that sounds fun. Does it?
Yeah. Okay. With everything you know about me, sixty years, old and forty years of being married, would you do it again? Yes. Well, as of today, you say that, but another twenty years, you're gonna feel the same?
Yeah. I I think so. I hope so. Me too, buddy. I got no plans to break up this band.
If you haven't been listening, it's our twenty year anniversary today. You literally just asked me if we were talking about it too much. It's a big deal. It's a big deal. But I got some questions for you.
Well, okay. So are you so excited you're standing? What's happening right now? I'm kinda standing. Okay.
Is that okay? Alright. It's fine if that's what you wanna do. Okay. You're just excited.
I'm sitting because I'm comfort I'm a comfortable guy. Do you remember how you proposed? Yeah. Anxiously. With much delay.
Yeah. Yeah. Of course, I do. We were at the airport, Salt Lake City. You were just coming back from a spring break trip in New York with some friends.
I had done a bunch of prework. I'd, accomplished one of your friends into the whole thing, to hand you things throughout the flight home so that you would be really prepared to say yes. And then I was very shy and nervous about it. And, it happened in the airport, not in the parking garage, but only by a few steps. Yeah.
I remember. What I know is that on the plane ride back from New York, my friend had handed me a couple of different envelopes along the trip, and I was not CD. I had a CD as well, I think. Oh, I don't remember that. Maybe.
But I was also sick. Like, I wasn't feeling great, and so I was trying to sleep. Yeah. And then I was like, what? What's happening?
Josh is what? So before we landed, I knew that you were gonna propose, and then so I was expecting it. And then when I saw you and airports were different back then because this oh, no. This was post 09:11. Right.
But you still were able to meet me at the stairs before baggage claim. Yeah. You can meet there. You still can. You came down the escalator.
They've remodeled the Salt Lake Airport, so it it's a lot different than it was. But, but the escalator came down to the baggage claim. I couldn't go to the gate. Okay. So I saw you when I was coming down the escalator, and I was like Which, honestly, that's where it should have happened.
This is it. This is it. Where I This is it. You should have come down the escalator to me on one knee at the bottom of it. What a spectacle.
What a romantic thing. I chickened out. Yeah. It didn't happen. And I went No.
Okay? No. And then we went to get my luggage, and then maybe it'll happen here. No. Would have been awesome.
No. The bag comes around, and I'm on it, riding around the baggage claim on one knee. What a spectacle. Didn't happen. I chickened out.
Right before we exited the doors. Yeah. Well and and your friends, again, who were with us, like, they we were a big group. They walked to the garage with us, and they're like, this thing ever gonna happen? What's the story?
What's going on? Is he gonna do the thing? What's happening? You're gonna do it? Like, what are you doing?
Yeah. I mean, I got up the, the nerve there eventually. But You did great. And I said yes, and it it was all good. Yeah.
Do you remember what song we danced to? Our first dance song? Was that the Bright Eyes song? No. We danced to, Annie Lennox.
Oh, Waiting in Vain? Yes. Ah, good song. That is a good song. That's what we first danced to.
Yeah. That the Bright Eyes song. No. We didn't. First day in March.
That was on our wedding album that we gave to guests. Yeah. Because we're music people. So and, you know, this was before a lot of the digital music. So getting a burned CD mixtape at a wedding was kind of a cool thing.
It is a it is a cool thing. If you still have if you attended our wedding and you still have our wedding CD That'd be pretty cool. That would be pretty cool. We we have a cop a couple of copies still. But Yeah.
One of them skips a lot. Which one? Not mine. Tell you that. Knowing everything I know about you.
What do you what was my most annoying habit when we first got married? Like, when we first got married, were you like, oh, what have I gotten myself into? I wasn't. And I still am not today. Oh.
Oh. I don't know. I really don't. Like, I'm not annoyed by you. Oh, that's nice.
I mean, I'm sure there are things you do now that I go stop. But Like leaving your light on, that's what is most annoying now. Turn off the bathroom light. Well, I'm turn off your night light light, please. Turn off the bathroom light.
I'll trade you. Oh, alright. Every time I walk by the bathroom, I reach my hand in and turn off the Or the fridge. And the fridge, what happened last night? Is that in the show?

The fridge is wide open. No, you weren't. Yes, I was. There was no one in the kitchen but me. I found you in Emery's room having a whole conversation.

Okay. You always think you do, but you don't. I'll get one just in case. Do you wanna answer for you, or do you wanna answer for me? I don't know the game.
Just do you wanna answer for you, or do you wanna answer for me? Why don't you answer for me, and then I'll tell you if I like that answer. Okay. So do I want to answer for me, or do I wanna answer for you? I don't know.
Well, you're gonna answer for me and tell me. See how confusing this is? Yeah. This is confusing. Yeah.
Now I'm confused. Who am I answering for? I'll just go. I'll just go. Cuddling or back scratches, you're gonna pick back scratches every time.
Dude, have you ever had a back scratch? So amazing. You like back scratches? Yeah. So you're gonna pick that.
Who doesn't? Not a single person I know is like, I'll skip the back scratch. Who is the better cook in our relationship? I I am. Yes.
True. Yeah. Who areas that we're better than each other at. I think we're both areas that we're better than each other at. I think we're both pretty good drivers, but I think they're I hate being a passenger princess.
I love it. So I prefer to drive. You're a good driver, but there's some things that I Somebody has a more recent encounter with traffic enforcement than the other. So let's just let's base it on Someone who has had the more recent encounter. No.
But somebody has a better driving record. Mine's fine. Okay. We're moving on. Who's more stubborn?
You are. Yeah. For sure. Who's better at giving gifts? I don't know.
Like, I feel like, we're we're both pretty good at it. I feel like you don't think you're very good at it. Okay. I would I would agree with that. But I don't think that's true.
I Who's more likely to cry during a movie? You. Yeah. For sure. Hands down.
For sure. Even if it's a happy one. I I'm so happy. I'm crying. Who falls asleep first?
Me. Every time. That's not true. I mean, at night Okay. Like, I I can fall asleep faster.
How about that? Okay. That's true. But I fall asleep. If we're watching a movie Yeah.
Oh, you're out. Yeah. I'm outie. I'm out. What is your favorite dessert?
So you say mine, I'll say yours. Yours is Tierra Masoud. Yes. And mine is? You like a good brownie.
I do. You like brownies. Yeah. But cookie butter, anything. I like cookie butter.
Right now, it's that cookie. That cookie butter cookie. Yeah. There's an oatmeal cookie. Cookie butter cookie is awesome.
Oatmeal cookie It's you with chocolate chips. Cookie butter frosting. Yeah. And it's a cookie butter cookie with cookie butter on top. It's the best cookie.
Yeah. Who is the pickier eater? Totally depends. You're gonna say me. I I don't think that you're a it's not that you're a picky eater.
You just have rules. I do have food rules, for sure. But then I think also I have, like, taste. Right? Like, I don't like certain things, and I'm pretty unwavering on those things.
That's true. Like, you refuse to even try them, and that's annoying. Mushrooms. Just try one. They're so good.
Nope. Who hugs the blankets? You. Wrong. I beg to differ.
Who's better at sticking to a budget? What's a budget? Yeah. Exactly. Who pays the bills?
What does that word mean? Yeah. You do. And it's a good thing too. Who's more likely to start an argument?
Okay. Now let me pick this one apart a little bit because when you say start an argument, that sounds like who's who's more likely to cause an argument, which I would say I'm gonna cause it, but I didn't intend to. But it's probably an argument because I didn't know something Okay. Some minute detail about a thing. Okay.
Yeah. So then who's more likely to apologize first? Probably me. I don't know. No.
You say sorry every two minutes, So I don't Yeah. I would well, it depends on what the situation is. I don't like to admit that I'm wrong Uh-huh. Especially Who does? When it comes to things with you.
So I go, I'm not gonna apologize for that. But I when I do, I do apologize. Who controls the remote? I don't well, so you have it, but then you think I always have it. Because before you fall asleep, you go, here, you can have this.
And I go, I don't care about it. And then it gets lost. And then I go, what'd you do with the remote? And it's still on your side. Wrong o.
What a silly thing. Wrong o. Okay. That's it. Alright.
The other rest are kinda like, what's your spouse's superpower? Oh. I don't wanna talk. That's dumb. Okay.
Would you rather this or that? Is it that time again already? Already. Jeez. Little Louise.
Okay. Would you rather travel to a tropical island or go on a tropical island or go on a cross country road trip? Why are you rubbing your head like this is the hardest decision you've ever had to face? Today? It is today the hardest decision I've had to face.
I love both of these for different reasons, but I'm I'm gonna go with tropical island Me too. Because, I can road trip cross country anytime, but I feel like right now, I'd I'd rather be sitting on the beach Yeah. Me too. On that tropical island. Let's go to the beach.
It's not in the cards. We got different plans. We do have different plans. And our plans involve mountains. And I like that too.
The beach. I like mountains. I'll take the mountains. Hopefully, Creekside somewhere. Yes, please.
That'd be nice. Riverside, I'd take some riverside. I'd take some creekside. I'd take some lakeside. I'm not big on lakes as much as I am on creeks and streams and rivers.
It's not as good fish? I don't know. I I struggle with my flat water fishing. I need to I need to work on it a little bit. Your flat water?
Yeah. Is that what they call it? Yes. Flat water? Yes.
We don't need to get into that. I'm taking the tropical island. Safe seas, bud. Yeah. Palm trees, coconuts Yes.
Feet in the sand. Yes. All of it. Yeah. Sound of waves.
Tikis. A shark fin. Oh, swim away. Jump on my back. I'll tread for both of those.
Here we go. Bring it a full circle today. Alright. Would you rather this or that? So yesterday about noon, the news hit the world, via the Internet that Ozzy Osbourne had passed away at the age of 76.
In the building, we have, K Bear Rock Station, and they have been doing a lot of Ozzy tributes yesterday and this morning, in in honor of, a legacy of rock and roll Right. Between Black Sabbath and Ozzy Osbourne solo career. Just a a plethora of music and a huge impact on an entire music genre, for years and years and years. Well known celebrity, huge hit MTV show, the Osborns with his family with Sharon and Kelly. Wrote an English paper on that show once?
Really? Yeah. When you were in high school, when you were in college? No kidding. Yeah.
How about that? Making a huge impact on everything from the music industry to your college career. Exactly. I know. Huge.
And and a lot of people have reacted to the news, across all kinds of media, whether it's social media, TV, radio. It's it's a a wildly huge impact. It's everywhere. Like, his him I saw his picture everywhere. Yeah.
I bet I bet the Coldplay couple is very happy. You're probably right. Like, oh, something new in the news. Yeah. Exactly.
Here's here is an interesting thing. So just a couple of weeks ago, there was an Ozzy Black Sabbath reunion concert that was held, and it was done as kind of a final farewell and honestly presented as like a living funeral for Ozzy. Everybody that could be there was there. Influential, rockers across the history of rock and roll, were there and celebrating, him and his career and everything, a couple of weeks before he passed. Now he's been dealing with Parkinson's for a long time, for, like, five years.
I believe he was diagnosed in 2020 with Parkinson's, along with other, you know, health issues and a lifestyle of rock and roll, that I'm sure, you know, led to, where he where he is now. But, that concert, this is the big news that I saw, and this is just incredible. It raised $190,000,000 for charity, specifically children's hospitals and Parkinson's research. I love it. That is an insane amount of money.
$190,000,000, that was raised off of Ozzy's final show, to help out amazing causes, which is so cool. So, I just had I saw that number, and I went, that's absolutely incredible. And if you didn't see the performance, you didn't see clips from it, or maybe Ozzy isn't your thing, it's still just a humongous impact on humanity, and and music history. So, you know, obviously rest in peace to to Ozzy, and and what a legacy he leaves behind as a rock and roll hall of famer. Just unreal.
And and it I had to say something. I mean, I know, obviously, we don't play Ozzy on Classy 97. I mean, I know it's not note. We're gonna ask tribute to the album. Here's some Ozzy.
Yeah. No kidding. But, you know, it's it's such a big, big deal that, it's gotta be talked about. So, and we didn't talk about the Coldplay thing until just now. So there's that.
Way way to bring it back up. I just didn't want to because it's I know. Everywhere. It is. Or at least it was.
But, you know, for what it's worth. Hey. That's gonna wrap up our show. Hey. Happy twenty year anniversary.
Happy twenty year anniversary to you. And, hopefully, at some point today, we celebrate or something. I think because so far, it's just been work. It's so far as just and it'll be work until about five, and then we can celebrate. Okay.
I haven't even gotten a kiss or a hug or anything. She's Louise. She's Louise. It's like we're just coworkers. Jeez.
It's it's a professional environment. You know? Gotta keep gotta gotta keep separation of, of those things, I suppose, I guess. Go and tell HR. Yeah.
Oh, yeah. Do we have to go to HR we're married twenty years? Let's go down and tell her, hey. I just so you know, I'd like to disclose, this this relationship. We've been married for twenty years today.
We're allowed to hug at a Coldplay concert. Yeah. That's true. But you'll never find me at a Coldplay concert. Because you don't like Coldplay.
No. I don't. Is it because Chris Martin was dating Gwyneth Paltrow? Is that what of. But also their music is terrible.
That's not true. I don't like their music. Throw some Coldplay on here in just a minute. A lot of people like Coldplay. I'm in the minority here.
I get it. I'll never go I'll never pay money to see them. There it is. It's a bombshell. Hot take.
