Full show transcript:
Chantel. Josh. They say things happen in threes, especially when it comes to, celebrities passing away. Earlier this week, Ozzy Osbourne. Earlier this week, Theo Huxtable.
Yeah. And, as of this morning, Hulk Hogan has passed away. Yeah. We just found that out. Yeah.
Like, literally, we just found that out. So that is, that's absolutely wild. TMZ has the story. Medics were dispatched to his home early this morning, and operators saying it was regarding a cardiac arrest. A slew of police cars and EMTs were parked outside his house, and he was carried on a stretcher into an ambulance.
There were some rumors just a few weeks ago. Hulk Hogan's wife, Skye, denied rumors that he had been in a coma stating that his heart was strong as he was recovering from some surgeries. 71 years old, wrestling, hall of famer, no doubt. That guy's very, very famous in the wrestling world. Hulk Hogan passed away at 71.
Also had didn't he also have a reality show? He did. His family died. Hogan's or whatever. What was it called?
Knows best. Yeah. That's right. Yep. Maybe there's a curse.
I don't know. That is interesting. But, anyway, not a fun, exciting way to open the podcast, but something we had just learned about, like, moments before we, you know, we started to record here. So, anyway, that would be the third, I would assume. You were saying that somebody had said someone else was the third.
Frances passed away. She was the singer, that just passed away. She, she sang that song that's now everywhere on Oh, that's right. Media. Yeah.
Yeah. Yeah. Pretty Little Baby. And she sings that Pretty Little Baby one. Yep.
Yep. And she passed away, Wendy's on, July 16. Yeah. So Oh, so odd. So she was a little bit earlier than, than Theo and and Ozzy.
Anyway, that's what I know. That's all the information I've got. Let's start the show. Let's have more fun in the show. Yeah.
We will. Hey. Good morning. Oh, hey. The, New York Post astrology writer has paired up, your astrology sign with an ice cream flavor.
I like that yours is on par. Is it? As a Taurus, your ice cream flavor is butter pecan. I like butter pecan. See, I knew.
You'd be, like, totally fine with that. But I like there's not an ice cream that I won't say no to. Okay. That's why my nickname is two scoop Sally. This is very true.
This is true. I hate mine. What is yours? Cotton candy. Oh, that sounds nice.
No. What are they why are they determining how are they determining which cut which ice cream flavor? Idea about the criteria. It just says, Rita Weigel is the New York Post astrology writer. She has paired a specific ice cream flavor for each zodiac sign.
That's it. Well And then just made a list. I just think she ran out of things to write. I think so too. And I also think that it's a good thing that we don't put a lot of stock into astrology.
I mean, you know, there's that. Aquarius, chocolate chip cookie dough, Aries, cookies and cream. I'm cool with either one of those. Cookie dough's, like, my least of those two. Yeah.
But cotton candy, those are the two that are on either side of me is the reason I brought that up. Like, they were they got good ones. Mine is good. Yeah. I said you'd like it.
But there's no Josh. Listen. What's spumoni? That character from, Fast Times at Ridgemont High? No.
It's Spicoli. Spumoni is a, an ice cream or gelato made with layers of different colors and flavors. So it's Neapolitan. It's similar to that. However, it looks like there's a pistachio Oh.
And then a cherry and then a chocolate. And they have it it's got a lot of, speed bumps in it. So it's pistachio with actual pistachios in it. It's cherry with real maraschino cherries in it, and it's chocolate with what looks like nuts Yum. Or some sort of something.
That's, some spumoni. Delicious. That sounds like something I've never, tried. Of? Who gets spumoni?
Rich people. No. No. No. Oh, which which sign?
Yes. Gemini. I don't know any Geminis. Cookie Monster's on here, mint chocolate chip, strawberry. That's, Emery.
She's Virgo. That's strawberry. That checks out. Libra. Vanilla.
Oh, Libras. Sorry. And then Sagittarius gets pistachio. Scorpio's got chocolate. I think Beck is a Sagittarius.
And then Capricorn's got rocky road. If he is, he's not having pistachio ice cream. He's not. Never in a million years will that kid be like, yes. Pistachio.
I love pistachio. They could have given it to me. Also, Josh, let's don't put too much thought into it. I just I disagree. Why do I have to get stuck with cotton candy?
Cotton candy? Why am I the child's ice cream? No. But but The whole list, the child's ice cream is Pisces. Because you're easygoing and fun.
Yeah. Yeah. They knew I wouldn't throw a fit. They'd be like, he'll eat it. Yeah.
And I will, but I'm not gonna like it. They're like, all we have left is cotton candy. Let's just give it to Pisces. They'll eat it. I'm kind of laughing because it's funny that this is rattling you so much.
I just look. Give me a better flavor. That's all. New York Post. Give me a better flavor.
Maybe find something else to write about, New York Post. And let me tell you, spent some time writing this article too as I look through it. Like, Taurus rules the second house of values and possessions. Yeah. And bulls are notoriously weak for rich things, not the least of all that is food that gives them yeah.
Yeah. It goes on and on and on. I don't think that that's true. Devoted to decadence, the chorus of Taurus is more, and butter pecan ice cream is just that. Dedicated to decadent.
Yeah. The chorus of tourists. Yeah. This is how this is written. Sounds AI.
Well, I don't think it is. I think it's it's written by A human? Rita Weigel. Rita. And that's what I know.
Josh is upset. Right? You should write her a letter. Yeah. Cotton candy.
Letter to the editor. I don't appreciate this article. Yeah. Cotton candy. And it looks like a child's ice cream cone.
The heart meat of the average Pisces is made of cotton candy, waterlogged stuffed animals, prescription pills, mix tapes, glow in the dark stars, and Polaroids of their first loves. Since only one of these items has a tangible flavor, it's cotton candy for the core and the win. End of article for Pisces. Okay. I'm made of cotton candy?
Come on, Rita. What? Don't let Rita get you down, bud. It's okay. Shake it off.
Eat whatever ice cream you want. It doesn't mean anything. Settle down. Yeah. That's it.
Let it go. Good morning. I was just reading something about, a solid snake method for awkward conversations. A Solid Snake method. Right.
Okay. So do you know what Solid Snake is? Do you? I do. Solid Snake is a video game Okay.
Or a video game character at least. It's from, Metal Gear. Yeah. And, he is basically the the premise of the game is you, move around undetected. And if someone spots you, you get this, like, exclamation point above your head.
It goes, boink. It doesn't say boink. That's too cartoony. But it makes a noise. Okay.
And, and you've been spotted. And then, you know, chaos ensues until you can hide again. So the whole sort of the premise is that you're hidden, sneaking around. Okay. You know?
Well, the premise of his solid snake method in conversation Yeah. Is that he apparently in the game talks to a lot of people, but doesn't say much. Okay. He just repeats other people's lines a lot. Uh-huh.
So if somebody said, there's a minefield ahead, he responds, a minefield? Oh, riveting conversation. I know. But a lot of people are saying, like, if you're stuck trying to talk to somebody and you just don't you can't like, the conversation's not flowing Mhmm. And you don't know what to say, then you'll just repeat things that they've said, and it keeps them talking to keep the conversation It keeps them talking.
Apparently. See how I did that? Look at that. Look at that. I didn't even catch on.
Good job, Josh. You got the idea. I did get the idea. You did go places, kid. Like where?
Oh, to the grocery store later, maybe. Oh, no. Why? Because we don't have any plans for dinner. Who's making the plans?
Who do you think? Well, apparently, me because I'm going to the grocery store. So No. You've planned the last couple of well, you've cooked the last couple of months. That's fine.
I'll cook. It's fine. I'll just do it. I'll do it. I like it for the sake of, like, you know, if if you have a problem conversating with somebody, if you have a problem keeping conversation, you don't like small talk, it's a way to just bounce off of them.
And it it wasn't hard. It's not hard? See? See? Yeah.
No. You can't do it, like, that quick. You can't I can't go like, see. See? You gotta you gotta try.
Give it some time. Right. Time is what you gotta give it. I feel like these are just dead ends. I don't actually know how that could work in real conversation.
Dead ends? Yeah. Like, no. I've seen I knew that one. I got that one.
Try it out today Okay. And see if you like it or not. I already know I don't, but I will. But but you're talking to me, and we're in the in a show setting, and you're try you know what I mean? Try it in a casual conversation.
I do wanna try it just to see if it because it does feel dead end ish. Like, I feel like the idea of a conversation is you ask further questions. You are. I mean, I guess. But you're just instead of offering anything to the conversation, you're leading the person to keep talking so that you just don't have to put out in effort.
I getcha. So that's the deal. Right? If you have a problem conversating, all you're doing is keeping them on a train. Keeping them talking.
Yeah. Yeah. And it sounds like you're engaged because you're, you know, you're kind of have to be to a certain extent because you kinda repeat what they're saying. So you have to kind of be listening. Yeah.
And I think you should be. You know what? It almost just sounds like What? Active listening. Almost.
Like, let's just call it that. Let's just active listen to people. How about Right. And then ask related questions to what they said. Yeah.
Mhmm. Yeah. Have a conversation Mhmm. With people. Yeah.
You know? Nice. Yeah. Uh-huh. Here's some good news.
Let's hear it. Back in 2017 when hurricane Harvey devastated parts of Texas, a family in Corpus Christi lost their beloved dog, Blue. No. Yeah. I know.
The hurricane damaged the family fence. Blue panicked during the storm and ran away. That was back in, 2017. No. Well, in the chaos, the family was unable to find Blue, and they thought that she was lost forever.
But Blue was found by someone in a public bathroom in Waco, Texas, 300 miles away. Oh, Blue. And upon finding the lost dog in the bathroom, this stranger took Blue to a nearby animal shelter. They scanned for a microchip, and, it came back with the owner's owner's information. Eight years apart.
And after an extreme journey away from home, Blue has been reunited with her family. It. It's so cool. The good Samaritan who found Blue in Waco even took an extra step of meeting the owner halfway to make sure that she was back safely where she belonged. It's huge.
300 miles, eight years. Eight years. Blue's back. Imagine that reunion? Unreal.
I bet that dog is so happy. I mean, that family was like Blue had an adventure. Yeah. Blue did. Blue has been out for eight years for eight years.
And 300 miles. Who knows? Who knows? Blue's big day out. Reunited.
From Corpus Christi all the way to Waco, Texas. Unreal. Oh, Oh, I like that they're reunited. Yeah. Yeah.
That's why we call it good news. That's good news. We talked about this before. You never ever ever used, like, you never forged your mom's signature on a note. That's right.
Josh can't No. Participate. She would write me a note if I needed it. Oh. So I would just say, hey.
I need a note, and she'd be like, okay. Yeah. My mom did that too. But there were some times I was like, yeah. I don't.
I was never trying to get out of something I should have been trying to get out of, Chantel. Well, listen to this. K. This is kind of intense. There is a school district in Tennessee that wants to stop excusing absences with doctor notes.
So kids will only be marked present or absent, and they will face face punishments for absences, sick or not. If they miss three days, they'll have, like, an intervention thing. But if a kid misses eight or more days, they're gonna be referred to juvenile court for truancy. Woah. I know.
That's like, zero to a thousand. I I know. If a child Look. Here's the thing. Where is this at?
In Tennessee. And and I don't know what's going on in Tennessee, but I feel like, they wouldn't be bringing this up if it wasn't a big problem. Right? Fair. But they say if a school if a kid goes to school sick and then can't make it through and the school nurse sends them home a a school nurse.
What's that? Yeah. No kidding. The secretary is the school nurse most of the time. That child will be marked as tardy, and they are saying this is a no nonsense.
We're gonna take control of the attendance of our students. You can bring all the doctor notes you want, but it'll still be unexcused. Can I remind them that it's school, not the military Right? Jail or And they're also Like, what are what are we talking about here? They're kids.
Right. Like, what are what what? If a kid has a tummy ache, you can't expect them to, like, try and learn. This is and does this say, like, what grade of school? It's just all grades.
K 12. Mhmm. Really. Yeah. They said you can fail the grade.
You can fail the course. You're gonna be petitioned to court. You're gonna participate. What? You're not gonna participate in graduation, get your driver's license, or a permit.
I know. It's intense. That's wild. He says and this is the director of schools. He said if you have the sniff sniffles, that's fine.
You're gonna have them when you go to work one day. We've all gone to work sick and hurt and beat up. So that guy, director of schools Yeah. Seems to be a problem. I feel like, this is some big controversy for Tennessee.
I hope Idaho doesn't accomplish this. Yeah. Yeah. Ignore Tennessee, please. Nothing to see here.
Yeah. Yeah. Don't look at Tennessee. Yeah. Woah.
Yeah. For neighboring school districts in Tennessee, though, it's just this one school district. Okay. Neighboring school districts are like, hey. Hey.
Hey. Yeah. Nah. We get So it's not the whole state. No.
Yeah. It's one school district Good and clear. That has one director of schools in that school district. Is that a superintendent? Is that what that person is?
Title is director of schools. What does that even mean? You don't know. I'm the director of schools. Look at my back.
If that if that guy is sick, you better send him to work. Oh. Yeah. There's no double standard here. Director.
Do not call it sick. Oh, you got the sniffles. Get to work. Man. I don't.
That is hardcore. Well, keep me up to date on that as that progresses or doesn't. K. Okay. You you have a task now.
Okay. And don't you forget about it. What if I get sick? Yeah. Nope.
It's your task now. I was just reading Oh, no. Something that makes me real sad. What is it? And I follow a couple of, like, healthy healthy eating healthy eating things.
Oh, so it's making you sad because you're not So you're not eating what you're supposed to or what? I actually have been eating what I'm supposed to. I've been very good about my fruits and my vegetables and my protein, and I've been I mean, last night was an exception because it was a celebration. So I had a brownie last night. Yeah.
But here's something I saw. To maximize weight loss, the following food should be avoided, and it makes me sad. Are you ready for this list? Sure. I mean, most of these are foods you should not eat?
Yeah. Most of these, you're like, okay. I knew that. Breaded and fried foods, fast food, potato chips in any form, movie popcorn, regular pop, Starbucks, candy, including sugar free, desserts, including sugar free, ice cream in any form, Alfredo sauce, cheese sauce, gravy, bacon, nuts, peanut butter. What are you gonna eat?
I know. Way to take all the joy out of life. Here. Have chicken and rice. Here's your chicken and rice.
Here's your vegetables. Here's your chicken and rice and a broccoli. It's fine. It's fine. There's no joy in life anymore if you can't eat what you want.
I mean, what in the world is all that about? I know. So I don't think I'm gonna follow that account anymore. Oh, there you go. That's the solution.
Eat what you want and stop, following the, stop following the the bad advice that makes you unhappy. Yeah. Exactly. Yeah. Just sad.
I thought nuts were supposed to be good for you also. I guess. I don't know. I I don't know what they're on about. Every every two days, they say eggs are bad for you.
Eggs are good for you. That's true. Who knows? They say the same thing, excuse me, about avocados. Yeah.
Are you can you eat avocados? Are they good for you? Are they are they a good fat or are they a bad fat? Oh, no. They're delicious.
I'll tell you that much. And I've been eating them because they are delicious. Right. Just eat what you want. Agreed.
Don't listen to the Internet. They're just making it up for clicks. Well, it worked because I clicked, and I went Exactly. Oh, no. Well, unclick, quit following.
I did. And, did you officially? Yeah. You did not. I did so.
I did so just now. Alright. Good job. Don't tell me what I can and can't eat. Beck and Emery have been playing, a video game together.
And she, we found out yesterday, has been permanently banned for cheating. Yeah. Yeah. Well, so that's what the what the game says. And you can, like, send in an appeal, and you can say I didn't cheat.
I don't quite no. I don't quite understand it. The cheating part? Or so the way I understand it, there are certain things that you can do within the game to help yourself level up quicker. And and I don't know if that's what happened, but she plays with, with Beck and a couple of his friends, and they are at a higher level than she is.
And so if she plays at a higher level with them, and even if she doesn't, like, do anything in the match because she's playing at a higher level, she gets more experience points. And so her her profile her, you know, character profile will rank up faster. That's what I understand. They call that boosting. Okay.
But that's not necessarily No. I know. Her fault. That's correct. Because she's just playing with the people that she's playing with.
And because she's a lower rank, it drags her into higher ranked matches because it's not gonna drag higher ranked players into lower ranked matches. Right. So it you know, if she was playing in the general population online and not with a group of people, she would be playing with people that are at her same level, and they would all be sort of leveling up together as they played. So it's like a tier system. Consider cheating then.
That's the only thing I can figure out. Because the other way you cheat is by installing mods on your PC, which she's she's playing on the PS five. So she's not doing mods. So she isn't, like, putting in sheets to, like, make the game glitch to her benefit. She's playing on a console.
So the only, quote, unquote, cheating that she could be doing is a ratings boost. But that's Or ranking boost. Not her fault. No. It's not her fault.
A flaw in the game. That's what I'm saying. So I sent in the appeal, and then, we got the reply back that the permanent ban will remain in place Yeah. Which is like, what? What?
I I mean, honestly, all she's been doing is playing the game with her brother and And his friends. Yeah. Yeah. And the account is now banned. So, she has gone through the trouble now of creating her own account, which let me let me just reel back real quick.
This is my account. Yeah. My account is banned. And I don't even play that often, but now I can't because my account is permanently banned. When you log in, it says, there's a yellow bar cut permanently banned.
Frustrating too is that, like, not only is it is it my account, but, like, it's, like, I paid for the game. Yeah. Like Yeah. That's That now you can't play because, like, you have to create a whole new account and then associate that new account with every like, it's a it's a huge hassle. And all of the the, like, money that I've earned that she spent a bunch of in the game anyway, like, all the characters that got unlocked, like, all of that's just gone.
You can't even play the game. No. Permanently banned. Absolutely ridiculous. And, again, for not doing anything other than playing with a group that was ranked higher than her because that's who she wanted to play the game.
But that's, yeah, that's the game's fault. That's not her fault. Right. Fix the flaw in your game Right. Game.
So I've thought about writing another appeal to say, look. The only thing that we can come up with that would have happened is this. Right. It would have been a great thing to think. You like some insight as to why give you, like, their code of conduct, and you have to agree to it when you No.
I get it. But, like, tell us what she actually did. Well, in that in the email, they literally said, like, we we cannot go into details about what, you know, the caused the ban. It's just a mess. Why?
Why can't you go into details? Game. I mean I know. Because that's what it says. Right?
Or that's the closed I'll tell you what. It's just right there. Yeah. While we're unable to disclose specific details of what triggered the sanction, it is issued in accordance with our enforcement policies and community guidelines. So I don't know.
You know, the other thing you could do is, like, if you unintentionally, you know, team kill, they call it. Like, if there's someone on your team that ends up, you know, dying in the game because of your actions, they'll the little thing will pop up on the screen that that person can report you for you can't kill your own teammates. Like, that's the that's a big part of the deal. So she was like, sometimes that happens accidentally Yeah. But it's it's not I'm never doing that on purpose.
So I don't know. It's it's wild. It's just wild. Kinda laughed when she told us because I was like, you got banned from a game for cheating? Yeah.
I'll tell you what. If Mario Kart Oh, here we go. If I ever got banned from Mario Kart, what a sad day that would be. Yeah. Sad day indeed.
Quit cheating. Oh, I don't cheat. I win fair and square. Only when you're not playing against me. Josh, I'll say this again for the last time.
For the last time now till you say it again. I taught you how to drift, and I also taught you how to boost off the line. So the fact that you're better than me is because of me. I just want you to remember that forever and always. And, also, I'm only funny because you brought that out of me.
And, also, what what else is there that you wanna take credit for? That one was my favorite one for a long time. Which one? You're not like, anytime people would laugh at me, you go, you're not it's not even funny. It's not even a good you're not even funny when I met you.
I made you funny. That's not true. That's never what I say. Not anymore. You got you got tired of saying that one.
You were always funny. I just think that before, you were surrounded by girlfriends who never let you. So when I first met you, you were much more quiet. Uh-huh. And then I was like, hey.
It's okay. You could be yourself. And you were like, here's all of my funny. So I allowed you to be funny. I I didn't teach you how to be funny.
Right. I just Uh-huh. You didn't teach me how to be good at Mario Kart. You just allowed me to be good at it. No.
That I did teach you. I don't think you taught me. I taught you how to boost. No. I think I I think I figured it out.
No. I think I saw you doing it and went, what are you doing? And then figured it out. I don't think you were like, no. You just do this.
Wait for the thing and hold it down because I can get the faster boost than you. And you didn't teach me that. I probably didn't because I was like, I don't know. Yeah. That's what you do.
That's how the Ricky Carmichael incident happened. You were really good at that game, and then you were doing the preload, the shocks thing so that you could fly up higher and do more tricks. And I went, what are you doing? You're like, I don't know. I'm just doing normal stuff.
I'm just I'm a button masher. I don't know. Yeah. You do. Yeah.
You do. Tomorrow, Happy Gilmore two That's right. Comes out. That's right. You're a big Adam Sandler fan.
One of the biggest I've ever known. You've you've loved him, since SNL and all of the Adam Sandler, Happy Madison movies. Not all of them. But but enough. Yes.
And, and and that's good for you. That's fun. It is fun for you. I yeah. I here's the thing about Adam Sandler, and we've talked about this before.
My family calls me a gatekeeper because Yeah. I liked Adam Sandler before a lot of people liked Adam Sandler. What I mean by that is, he had some characters on SNL that a lot of people didn't understand. And his first movie, Billy Madison, a lot of people are like, that's weird. He's don't he's so dumb.
And I was like, I think it's hilarious. Mhmm. And then Happy Gilmore one came out, and people were like, oh, he's actually kinda funny. Right. And I went, no.

No. No. No. No. Back up.
And you then found out you'd already had yours. Because I said, hey. Do you want some of that dessert? And you said No. Now I'm still full.
I'm still kinda full. I don't want it right now. And I was like, okay. And then you went off to do something else. I think you went to water your garden.
Yeah. And I was like, well, I want my dessert. And so I cut the dessert in half, and I had my share of the dessert all by myself, eating it alone. Yeah. And then you came inside and said, I'm ready for dessert.
And I said, well, I already ate mine. Right. See? Yeah. See?
Twenty years you're eating dessert without me. I asked. I was ready for dessert. I wasn't. But then when I was ready is when you should have been ready.
Oh. Because you could have delayed your ready. You did not make it clear that you would be ready for dessert at all last night. It almost made it sound like you were like, I could do without dessert entirely. Oh, I understand.
Here's the clarification we needed. We needed better communication. Yep. When you said, are you ready for dessert? And I said, no.
I'm still kinda full. You should have said one of two things. I think I'm gonna have mine, or do you think you'll want it later? I think These are follow ups. I think you should've said, I don't think I'm ready for dessert right now.
I think you should have said But I will be later. I think you should have said, hey. I'm gonna get this stuff out and eat my half of the dessert. I'll leave yours right here for when you're ready. But I feel like I feel like you have.
But I think you ate it without me. And when you make that sound like you were sad, that was your decision. No. No. No.
But I didn't make the decision to eat mine alone. I'm not blaming you. I'm just And and and and I went into the bedroom and said, hey. I'm ready for dessert. Let's crack that open.
Only to find out then that you had eaten yours without me. Up until that point, I was very much in the let's have dessert together mode. But I didn't know that. Right. Because you didn't tell me that.
Because you decided a a lone solo dessert was gonna be the path. Because but No. Listen to me. And I did the best thing that I thought I was doing was, like, well, I'm ready for my dessert, so I'm gonna eat mine. It was a large brownie.
Yeah. I was hoping you were gonna talk about this. There were because I was about to bring this up. A big, large, delicious brownie that you heat it up. It was it was awesome.
Really good. And then it had a a scoop of vanilla ice cream on it and a drizzle of salted caramel sauce. It was very good. So good. Yeah.
What were you gonna say about it? I was gonna say, you took the big rectangle brownie and you cut it diagonally, and then you explained that you cut it diagonally so that we could both have middles and edges. And I said, cool. And then I think it clicked in your head that you could have cut it. The only way you could have cut it to not allow that to be true was if you had cut a circle out of the middle of the brownie.
I was gonna initially, I was gonna cut it in, like, a like, a zigzag pattern Oh, boy. Which I thought would have been fun. I'm glad you went with triangle. You could have just gone with half. Either way Well, I was gonna do a half two, and I was like, man, that's not as fun because then you don't have, like it would have been a thin piece of brownie.
You see what I'm saying? Went the other way. Would have been thin and long. Or thick and short. But if you do thick and short, you're gonna get you're not gonna get the edge Yeah.
You will. In the middle. You will. No. Look.
If you if I have this and I cut it this way, you get edge and middle. If I cut it this way, you get edge and middle. What are you talking about? If I cut it diagonally, I get edge and middle. When I say edge, I'm talking about the piece of the brownie that, like, touches the edge of the pan, not edge.
Like, there was an whatever. Forget about it. I did you a solid. Yes. But I ate it alone.
So did I. By choice. I had no choice. The choice was made for me. No.
You made the choice when you said, I'm still kinda full. Yeah. It's my fault. I'm gonna go water my garden. So that's how the night ended.
Solo dessert, in case you were wondering. I was very excited yesterday to share big bear eagle big news. It was good news. That was some big bear eagle big good news. Big Bear Eagle, big good news.
So catch me up. Back at fourth of July, a lot of people are setting off fireworks and stuff. Yes. And not necessarily in Big Bear Valley, but close enough Close enough. That that it's scared of them.
Yeah. So the the baby eagles, Sunny and Gizmo That we'd been watching since they were babies Right. In the nest. Right. We watched them fledge.
They they they departed the area. They went somewhere, to seek safety Right. Or something like that. Or something like that. And then, it seems that on the twenty second, so on Tuesday, there is video of juvenile eagles returning to the area and roosting near adult eagles.
And now the reason that I say it that way is because there are other eagles in the area. Right. But these eagles, both juvenile and adult were roosting together. And so, there is good speculation that it's Sunny and Gizmo have returned to Shadow and Jackie, and they are in the area again. And it made you very happy.
Makes my heart happy. Yeah. And a lot of people as well, I might add, the comments on the YouTube videos are like, oh, such good news. Good news. And things like that.
Yeah. I'm I'm summarizing all of the YouTube comments and all the different emphasis of the words they said into that one sentence. Oh, good news. Yeah. They're very excited people on the Internet and you about these.
Very excited. I love these little eagles. Yeah. And here's what I do. If something is especially sad, then I go, oh, I can't I can't be too involved in this.
Otherwise, it'll wreck me for good. Mhmm. And so I have to For good. I have to use I will be wrecked for good. I have to use my powers of Distraction.
Ignorance and distraction. Ignorance. So I haven't been following I knew that they had been kind of somewhat missing, so to speak, or they they hadn't been in the area. Yeah. I was like, I can't focus on it.
It's too sad. Well, it would appear, at least for the time being, that they may have returned, to, to Big Bear Valley. To the area. To Big Bear Valley. Yep.
Big Bear. Eagle news. Big Bear. Two. They spotted two juveniles or just one juvenile?
Two juveniles. That's right. I had to sneeze, so I had to hold up the number two with my hand. I got it. Two.
That is correct. Two juveniles, one adult. I couldn't tell. You were waving just two fingers. Were you saying peace, or were you That too.
Big bear, baby eagle, big news. Not babies anymore. I found out yesterday What? That there are not one, but at least two, maybe more, trapeze schools in Boise. Oh, yeah.
You were showing me a video of this yesterday. Yeah. I had no idea. It looks super cool. And I kinda wanna try it.
I kinda wanna try it too. I mean, there's all this safety gear. There's a net. There's, you know, all kinds of stuff. I was looking at the classes.
Like, it's not even that expensive to do one class. Really? Yeah. Like, $25. Really?
Yeah. Something like that. Like, it's not super bad, and you no experience necessary. They're gonna do some ground training. They're gonna walk you up that giant ladder.
That's the scariest part, they said. Yeah. And then you're gonna be strapped in How high? A thing, and then you fly. Is it?
Like, how high do you have to climb? Great question. How high is a stand And then what? Do you stand on the little podium thing, and then they bring you the, what's it called? The bar?
The bar. Do they bring the bar to you, or do you have to jump to the bar? I think they just bring it to you. Right? Flying trip trapeze acts, are above the ground between twenty and forty feet.
I don't know what that means. Explain it in words I'll understand. A two story building Okay. To a four story building. Okay.
Thank you. Roughly. Okay. That's not I say that's not terrible, but it's terrible when you're climbing a metal ladder. You have been on, 20 to 30 feet at the cope course.
I felt much higher than that. That's pretty high, actually. If that's the same distance It's about that. That's high. But there's a big safety net underneath, and you're, you're clipped into a thing.
Yeah. My problem, I don't think Upper body strength? Exactly. I knew what you were gonna say, but it's you're just hanging there. I know, but I can't hang.
I would be afraid. I mean, I can hang. Let's be real. I can hang. But I don't know if I'd be able to like, I feel like my hands would just Yeah.
Fall off the bar really quickly. Well, apparently, like, circus is a big deal, in in Idaho, and I had no clue that we were just doing circus acts and acrobats. And, like, I knew we had acrobats, but I didn't know we had, like, trapeze. And and you had talked about that, like, what's the yoga thing? Yeah.
It's, it's called elevated elevated fitness. Elevate. I like that. Like that? Yeah.
Aerial yoga. Yes. Thank you. What it's called. It's called aerial yoga, where you have, like, the ribbons.
What's it called? Like, the fabric, the I I don't know what they're called. The place here in Idaho Falls is called Elevation Floating Fitness. I see. And they and and you do that?
You you hang around? You can hang. No. No. No.
No. Yeah. That's I mean, yeah. Basically, there's, like, a cloth hanging, and then you just kinda It looks like two cloths. And then, there are ways that you can, twist them around your arms and your legs Yeah.
And tie them up. And I've never done that, but I really want to I think it looks interesting. Have an am and aerial arts. Okay. So there's a couple.
So, this one here, there's, like, if you've ever wanted to do the, the ring apparatus, there's a class for that. Really? Yeah. There's all kinds of and this isn't, again, this is what I'm looking at in Boise, but there is aerial rope. Like, if you wanted to, climb the rope, you which you've you had practice at in high school, you can climb the rope, and then, they'll teach you safe ways to, like, spiral down it.
That's cool. You know? Yeah. If if that's what you're into, since you have such a great memory of it. Josh?
Tell. I know you think that we weren't forced to climb the rope in gym class. I'm I don't know how to prove it to you. I think your gym teacher was eight hundred years old and was like, nope. I had do it.
You're gonna do it. Everybody climb the rope and ring the bell. That's what I think happened. Probably. I think you had a grouchy old PE teacher that was like, nope.
Get up that rope. Don't deny that I tried, that it was there. I just I don't believe it. I know you don't. Was was it in the old high school, or did they put new ones in the new high school?
No. I think it was actually in my middle school. I don't think it was my high school. Yeah. Yeah.
It definitely wasn't in my junior high that I was climb there was no rope climbing. Zero times did I climb a rope. Anyway Well, let's be I didn't climb it either. But did I have to try? Yes.
You'll get up that rope? And I went, yeah. I can't. I can't do it. Yeah.
Thanks. Thanks for the opportunity. We did have a a gym teacher at one point, that threatened to, come by and, like, if if your, boxer shorts were hanging below your the edge of your shorts, your gym shorts Uh-huh. He was gonna come by with scissors and cut them off. And I went, no.
You're not. But, also, who's wearing their shorts like that? Not one person I know in high school is wearing their shorts like that. I will come by and cut them right off. He said My, my junior high school colors were green and yellow.
Uh-huh. That's right. Super cool. So we had Okay. These mustard yellow gym shirts and green, like, hunter green gym shorts.
Nice. Nobody looked good in those. That's a good look. No. It wasn't.
Did you have a gym uniform? Yeah. You did. Yeah. We would have to change.
I'm telling you, well, you'd have to change, but everybody had their own gym clothes. We didn't. Yeah. We had to wear it. Percent.
You had you had a nineteen fifties school with a nineteen fifties coach who was like, no. Get up the rope. Wear the weird shorts. Put on your PE uniform. And our our shirts had, like, a little like, there was a little area where you could write your name.
Dude. Like, it was just fine. School in a different era than the rest of the world. The the the rest of the world had advanced by thirty years, and you were still sitting there going I it was burly. So That's what I'm saying.
The one gym coach, like, that's the way it was when I did it. That's the way it'll be. The gym coach was also our driver's ed instructor. Of course. Of course.
Yeah. Checks out. I have long held the theory that since 2020, the pandemic, clothing brands have struggled with manufacturing new clothing, and it's taken years to catch up. And because they had to have a moment of time where they had laid off people and they weren't making stuff, factories were struggling, they had to tap into the warehouses of back stock clothing that was sent back to them that they just stored. Right.
And they, decided, well, we have all this inventory. Let's just put new tags on it and ship it out to the stores, and we'll do a bunch of social media branding, and we'll get everybody to think this is the trend, and we can offload all of these clothes from the nineties. And that's what brought back nineties fashion. That's my theory. That is a good theory.
It's a good theory. I believe it still stands true because yesterday, my algorithm, for some reason, really wanted me to know that we're no longer in the nineties. We have now entered the early two thousands in fashion, and brands like Hollister and Walmart and everybody else in between have unloaded the truck fulls of two thousands clothes, and they are all over the racks now. They are. You wanna dress like a Spice Girl?
Spice up your life? It's there. You can. There was also some pants that had an embroidered Back pocket. Mania devil.
That yeah. Those shorts. Jean shorts. I owned those shorts. They're a little bit long.
They were, like, because JNCO jeans were big in, like, the mid and late nineties, and then it got these oversized denim shorts. Right. And, yeah, dude, there's no way that they are new embroidering Taz on stuff. Right. I'm telling you, Taz, the Tasmanian Warner Brothers Tasmanian devil is not getting new embroidery.
Right. Ask any youth today. Yeah. Hey. Who's Taz?
Tasmanian devil. Yeah. They're gonna be like, what? What? Yeah.
Who? Well Right. Who's Warner Brothers? What? Exactly.
They don't they don't know. Plus, also, Taz does not need to make a comeback. Listen. Come on. There was a moment in my life where I was a big Taz fan.
My brother as well. Yeah. In the nineties. So it's really interesting. And I'm and that's when I when I see stuff like that, I go, this isn't new.
These aren't new clothes. No. It's not new. New. Like, it's new materials, because it hasn't been worn.
It's not secondhand. But no one was buying it. It all went out of style, so that it all got shipped back to the manufacturing companies, and they just stored it, for a rainy day. And then somebody was like, it's a rainy day. Now Let's send all this back out to the shelves.
I will say that, like, fashion and textiles and all of that, like, that is a significant amount of waste. Like For sure. I read somewhere that said, like, it is like, that's what's, like, filling landfills among plastics and other stuff. So it makes sense, like, if fashions die, if you think about it, all of these stores have all of these fashions. Right.
Across the whole country and across the whole world. Right. And then the fashion dies, Where do all those clothes go? Back to a warehouse. Back to a warehouse.
In a box where they sit because they can't offload all that garbage. It was just like the thing in the nineties. The sixties and seventies came back in style. Right. Same deal.
Somebody went, well, we got this warehouse full of sixties and seventies stuff. But they burned through it all in the nineties. Now they're doing it again going, well, it worked thirty years ago. Let's do it again. And now we're getting all this stuff.
But, dude, Hollister is bringing back, I mean, the the micro denim skirts. Now I will say they've done they've done some modifications. So in addition to new tagging, they also turned it into a skort, which is smart. So, like, what they did was take the fashions that they had, and they went, how can we make this fit into a modern day Oh. Person's Right.
Wardrobe? Because, you know, things like that have changed. Like, now skorts are huge. Like, people love that. A dress with pockets.
Well, it's real easy to just rip that seam and then sew in a pocket. Boom. Now you've got and then they go, look. No. It can't be old because now we have pocket.
No. It's easy. Easy modification. Minimal fabric. This is one of your biggest This is seriously theories.
I I love this theory because, they're not out there. They're not new embroidery. They're they didn't get a new license from Warner Brothers to make Taz shorts. Also, let's rewind a little bit. Sure.
Settle down. I'm fine. Is Hollister the store? Yes. The cologne one.
And it had, like, that front where you could, like It had the, the, like it looked like a beach. Yeah. And it had, like, you would step up. But the perfume smell coming out of Hollister was awesome. Why is Hollister still around?
Go away. Nah. Because it's the nineties slash February. Like, they brought back it's got it's a jacket with 2,001, you know, in big letters across the front. Like, this is not new stock.
They're like, oh, yeah. It literally says the year. It says 02/2001. Like, oh, look at this throwback. Look at this twenty four year old jacket.
No. It's it was made twenty four years ago, and they stuck it in a box because nobody bought it then. I will say. You're buying it. Yep.
Our daughter buys she just bought a bunch of clothes, and I was like, yeah. I know. I wore that. Same. I wore that.
Yeah. I saw I saw the stuff that she got, and I went, I've seen all of this before. Yeah. Yeah. Anyway I've worn this stuff before.
Yeah. What the heck? Flare jeans. Come on. Come on now.
I've seen all this. It's a replay. Okay. There's a TikTok trend I wanna try. Oh, no.
And you've seen this, but you told me that you don't wanna do it. Well, then why why are you putting me on the stage to say no? No. I'm just What is it? Which one?
Somebody is holding a can. It could be whatever you want to drink. You put a straw in it, and the one person is drinking from the straw. Second I'm not doing this. No.
It's gross. It is gross. But disgusting. Second person has a straw in their mouth and a straw in the other person's mouth. So it's a chain drinking situation where one person drinks it into their mouth and the other person drinks it from that person's mouth.
You're disgusting. That's gross. I don't want It is gross. Blood. It is gross, but I also think it's kinda funny.
It's not. It's gross. I don't want mouth warmed soda. I'll do that part. I don't want any part of it.
You just get to drink the soda. No. No. No. We used to play this game.
We don't anymore because it's not safe. What? But it's where, like, you you would breathe in my mouth. Well, no. That's just a funny game where when you're like, I'm gonna give you a kiss, and then you go, and your cheeks go.
That's all. That's all that game is. No. But there was a game we used to play where you would breathe in my mouth, and then I would breathe it back into your mouth. That's gross.
I was sharing carbon dioxide. I know we don't do it anymore, but we did it a couple of times. We did it, like, one time. It was not cool, and then we said, no. More of that.
Weird. So yeah. No. I I don't wanna take part in your weird drinking thing. So many people are doing it.
Everyone's doing it. Everyone is doing it. Everyone is doing it. If all your friends were jumping off a cliff, would you jump too? No.
Fine. I'll delete it. Yeah. I don't wanna participate. It's gross.
I don't want to be the middle drinker, and I don't wanna be the other person. But if you're the the main drinker No. That's you're just drinking. No. I won't even get to enjoy it because somebody else is going before it even gets to be consumed.
It's gross. And I think it's hilarious. Like a mouthwater. And then my trick would be, like, try to catch it before it gets warm. Try to catch it cold.
Ugh. I bet I could I bet I could drink it fast. I'll just drink my own drink. How about that? Okay.
Then then I'll sneak attack. No. You're not gonna no. Oh, but a straw. No.
No. You will be sitting across the table from me for every meal. Long straw. I'll never see that. Come on.
It's three straws Okay. You're together. Here's what I know about you. Either because I try to I try to pull fast ones on you all the time. Either you're really good at, like, seeing things that are coming your way, or I'm terrible at trying to sneak attack.
Because you Those two are not mutually exclusive. I've I could be very good at it, and you could be very bad at it. Those are Yeah. It's probably true. Those are both true at the same time.
That's fair. I bet I am really bad Two truths. Sneak attacks. And you're really good at it. Oh, there she go.
There she goes. Watch out. Oh, Surprise. Didn't see that exact Denied. Happening.
Right. And you're like, denied. Yeah. You are really fast at denying stuff. I try to throw stuff at your face and you're like my house.
Got it. It's not any fun. Yes. It is. I have a great time.
There was an old video I saw on my phone. I was trying to, like, sneak up on you, and I recorded I set my phone up to record it. And so you can kinda see me sneaking. And then I I turned the corner and I drift. And you just turn around and you go, what are you doing?
Like, I tried to sneak. Yeah. How'd it go? Better than expected? Good job.
Hey. Hey. Would you rather this or that? Did I not hit the button? I thought I hit the button.
There you go. I hit the button. Would you rather only be able to dog paddle I only dog paddle. Or have to wear water wings forever. Forever.
Forever. What does that mean forever? Forever. I might as well just dog paddle. At least it's better than what I do.
So You actually know how to swim. I know I do. You just can't tread or float. I float. Just my bottom half sinks.
I got no buoyancy in these legs. They don't float. Them up. That's too much work. The water should hold them up.
You're picking what'd you pick? Doggy paddle? I only dog paddle. Yeah. I'm not wearing water wings everywhere.
Hi, guys. Just in case the flood comes. What do you mean? I'm gonna wear Forever. I'm gonna wear water wings Yeah.
Because I don't wanna dog paddle everywhere. Not everywhere. Only when you're swimming. The rest of the time, you're just normal guy on land. No.
I know. But I just don't wanna dog paddle when I swim because I enjoy swimming. So it'd make me sad if all I could do was dog paddle. I like the water slides more than just bobbing around in the pool. So for me, I'm gonna do the cool slides and then dog paddle to the side of the pool and then get out.
Your little head above water? I'm gonna make it to the end eventually. I think that's hilarious. Like, go off the high dive and then dog paddle. I bet they'd only let me go off the high dive once.
Yeah. They'd be like, that kid can only That kid? Yeah. That grown man. Yeah.
Yeah. That grown man child can only dog paddle. Get him some water wings stat. Stat. Water wings don't even do anything.
They don't keep their arms up here. They do for small buoyant things like children. Tiny children. Yeah. They're not gonna float a man child.
No. They're not. You would need one, like, all of them. Inner tubes. Yeah.
Okay. Now we're floating. Big old water wings. How many water wings is is that guy wearing? All of them.
They sold out. All up and down your arm. He had legs. The Michelin man. I can float now.
There's gotta be a better method. Yeah. I'm taking the dog paddle. Water wings for me. Yeah.
