Full show transcript:
Over the weekend on Saturday, you and I were sitting around the, fire pit in the backyard. We didn't even have a fire going. Was this Saturday? Was it Sunday? No.
No. No. No. It's Saturday. And we we were just kinda hanging out.
Your friend has a video or somebody's playing an accordion. Yes. And I thought, I can play that. And so I grabbed a kazoo have an accordion, though. And a side whistle, and I did my best rendition of what that accordion sounded like on a video.
I brought this up because, one, the video you can go watch. It's it's on, YouTube shorts and TikTok, and I think it's on Instagram and Facebook as well. You can go watch the video of me playing the kazoo and the slide whistle. It's fun. But it got flagged on TikTok, and I had to go in and file an appeal because they thought the video, included, me using a a pipe.
It looked like they thought the kazoo looked like, some sort of pipe, and they have an alcohol, tobacco, and drug use policy. And so Shame on you. It's a kazoo. And, anyway, the video after I filed the appeal, it got, it got published, but it's a very poorly performing video on TikTok. So if you wanna go watch it and give it some love, that'd be great because that thing could be could be seen by more people.
It could be big. But TikTok was like, no. That kazoo looks like you're doing drugs. I'm not. I'm just playing that awesome Playing that kazoo.
Playing that awesome kazoo music. Kazoo. What? I just You wanna do the show? Yeah.
Alright. Hey. What's, what's, what day is it? Today? No.
I don't wanna know what's happening today. I just wanna know what day it is. It's June 9. Is it? Yeah.
Okay. It sure is. Well, let's, let's do the show. Let's do it. You have a problem with transitions.
Do you know this? Do you why did you what what your fingers in me? You know how you used to have those, like, if you had, like, an audiobook or Oh, sure. It'll tell you when to turn the page. Uh-huh.
Yeah. That's how you knew to start the show. It was the start the show song. Turn the page. Alright.
Hey. Enjoy today's show. Hello. Oh, hello. It's like a like a little old lady.
Yeah. Oh. You could plug me in. Hello. Get my headphones going.
That'd be fun would that be? Well, now I can be able to hear Now I can play the game. Alright. It's like putting my Welcome to the game. Put my player piece on the board.
That's right. Or, or plugging the player two controller in instead of just leaving it out there so you don't have to wait for the side scrolling game is you know? You've been there. I feel attacked just by you saying that. Do you?
I do. Alright. Alright. You do a pretty good Donald Duck impression. I've heard it.
So go ahead. Nope. Why not? One, you just lied. Two, you're just trying to embarrass me.
And three, I don't want to. It's National Donald Duck Day. So I let's hear it. Mm-mm. Best impression of Donald Duck.
Ready, set, go. Mm-mm. You go. I don't do a Donald Duck impression. Either.
I've heard it. Three, two, one, go. No. Stop. You're always trying to get me to make these sounds.
It's not happening. It's not happening. What does he say? Three, two, one, go. Stop it.
You do it. I said I don't do a dongle duck. I don't either. I've heard you do a dongle duck. My dad?
Maybe you're confusing me with my dad. Do an impression of your dad doing dongle duck. 321. Go. +1 23.
Go. Stop. It's not happening. Ready. Set.
Move along. Happy Monday. You like mornings? No. I mean, yes.
Okay. We I said this morning that I I was like, waking up is tough. And you said, well, not always. I said, no. Waking up this early is is dumb.
Like, what are we doing? What are we doing? Donald Duck impressions. Three, two, one, go. Why did you ask if I like waking up early?
Because a lot of people are bad at mornings. I don't think I'm bad at mornings. I'm bad at the first five minutes. Okay. That's fair.
I'm bad at the first thirty five minutes because it takes me about thirty to get out of bed. Right? I've got the You got alarms. You wanna lay there. And here's the part in the summer that I love is that the windows open.
It's nice and brisk and and, and beautiful in the morning, so the cold air feels nice. Yes. And I'm like, I'm so good right now. I know. Give me forty five minutes to an hour of just this, and then I'll be ready to go.
But it's never that. It's gotta gotta go. But then Yeah. Go. Once I am awake and I'm present and I'm I really enjoy mornings.
And then I go, oh, I should do this every day. Yeah. I should go outside in the morning every day because I do love Yeah. Mornings. I do.
Whatever they're growing in the field behind us Uh-huh. Whether it's wheat or barley, whatever it is, it opened up. Could you smell it this morning? Mm-mm. Yeah.
It's strong. It's very strong. A little, like, little pods on top opened, and it's like I wore some sandals this morning. And when I went to get the dog out from outside Uh-huh. There was a lot of dew in the grass.
So you had wet toe? Yep. Yeah. Wet feet. You know what else has wet feet?
Donald ducks. Ducks do. Yeah. Donald duck impression. Ready?
Three, two, one. Let me tell you this thing, and then you tell me if you're for or against it. Alright. It is a grandma shower. So if a new mom is having a baby, along with the baby shower, she has a grandma shower Uh-huh.
For a first time grandma. Alright. Let me pick this apart just a little bit. Please do. So if you are a first time parent, there's a lot of supplies you need.
Mhmm. And people often have a baby shower to help acquire some of those supplies. Correct. Even if it's just an abundance of diapers that helps out. Yeah.
So and it's a big celebration. It's a a a family going from two to three. And then I think after that, you might have, another baby shower. I've but it is it like if you have another baby within, let's say, a year of the first one, Do you do it? We did.
I did. We have five years between ours. That's why I'm asking. If it's between a year It was a boy. Okay.
All that was my next question. I was gonna do a time thing, and then I was gonna do A gender. A gender thing. What's grandma need? What are we doing?
I think it's less about what grandma needs and more about just celebrating her and K. And acknowledging the fact that she's about to be a first time grandma. I don't like calling it a grandma shower. What do you what would you call it? Something else.
Would you do it at all? I think that it's exciting to celebrate new grandparents. I think, I think that's an exciting time. We got a buddy who has been waiting to be a grandpa for a long time and and found out recently that that's gonna be happening. And he's over the moon excited.
And he and he shared with friends and he said, I'm so elated. I'm gonna be a grandpa, and and it's it's about time, and all that kind of stuff. And so I get the excitement around it. I think it's a big deal. I think you should celebrate for sure.
But I don't think But you should just have a have a barbecue or take him to dinner saying. Like Instead of being like Oh, I'm gonna be a grandparent. With three of those grandpa shower. Here's all the decorations. Here's the catered food.
Here's gifts for you. It's a slippery slope. One person does it, and then the Internet's like, this is a good idea. That's why people are talking about it. And then all of a sudden, you end up with gender reveal parties.
My favorite thing about it is gender reveal fails. Right. I love those. So maybe there's a way to acknowledge. Here's what we do.
At the baby shower, you acknowledge the new grandparent. They have a crown or something. They go or a sash. Yeah. Something that you take a minute and say, first time grandparent coming up.
I think the parent gives the grandparent a gift. That's what I'm saying. That's what should happen. Because they're gonna know, like, hey. This is this is the new parent says, you're you're my mom or my dad or my mom and dad, whatever.
And I'm I'm excited that I'm gonna be a mom, and there's a new baby, and you're gonna be a grandma and a grandpa, whatever. Let's celebrate that. Here's, some, a case of insurer or something. I don't know what it is. Nice.
It is a slippery slope because depending on if you have how many of your grandparents are still alive Right. Then you might have step grandparents or you might have great grandparents. And then do you have to do a shower for each one of them? Yeah. See.
Exactly. So if you do an acknowledgment, and and I know what it is. It's a little glass chicken bowl with a lid that lifts off and inside hard candies. Boom. There you go.
New grandpa. New grandma. Here's your hard candy bowl, and it's a little glass chicken. Perfect. Yep.
Nailed it. Nailed it. Get a real It's Get get them a a a box of cookies, but it's not cookies. It's sewing supplies. You you know, real grandpa stuff.
Real grandma stuff. Yeah. Here's your initiation into grandparenthood. Yeah. Congratulations.
I like it. Here's a old people thing. Smart idea, Josh. Yeah. That's what you should do.
Get on the Internet and tell people this. Okay. Alright. Sure thing. Are you ready for some good news?
Sure am. Alright. Let me get, to my good news here. Here's the story. Near the end of the school year, students at Woodfin Elementary School, it's in Asheville, North Carolina.
They had the privilege of visiting with author Susan Zaff, who wrote a children's book called The Grumpy Biscuit. It's a good name. Yeah. Alright. Susan brought along over 100 copies of the book, plus matching stuffed animals to give to students.
What? That's a big deal. She also happens to be a retired teacher, so she organized the trip and the donation as a way to encourage the students to continue their summer reading. Smart. Yep.
Smart. She said, I just wanna spread happiness, and I'm just so thrilled to be here today, which is which is just amazing. But, I like when authors go and do, you know, stuff for kids, like, when kid authors do their thing. What's his name, that Beck got to meet? Brandon Sanderson.
Something like that? Yeah. No. Yeah. Yeah.
Yeah. Is that who it is? Yes. He got to meet, one of the authors he liked, very much. Did, like, a Barnes and Noble signing thing or something, and he got to got got to meet him and have a book signed.
And I think that's really special because it does exactly that thing. It encourages reading. It encourages creative writing. It encourages the the the kids to want to, explore more in those stories. And I think that's just awesome.
What did, what did Matilda say? It's like vacation in your brain Yeah. Which is awesome. So Look at you quoting Matilda. How good are you?
It's so good. Anyway, very cool. And, some kids got some books and stuffed animals, that match the story of the book. And the book is called That's cool. The grumpy biscuit.
What's the grumpy biscuit about, and why is the biscuit so grumpy? Oh, good question. Grumpy biscuit, is a book About? I'm pulling it up. Teaches children and parents that every person is special in their own way no matter how big or small they may be.
That's according to her website. The Grumpy Biscuit. The Grumpy Biscuit. Nice. And she has a Grumpy Biscuit plush, and it's awesome, actually.
I would I would like the Grumpy Biscuit plush. You can actually go, you can buy your own, which is cool, but you can also, just go donate. If you wanna donate a Grumpy Biscuit plushie, to a school, you can do that. They have a button for that. That's cool.
That is cool. A Grumpy Bundle, a book and a biscuit right on our website. Biscuit bundle. Grumpybiscuit.com. It's cute.
Yeah. And it's good news to get you going. What a what a roller coaster of a weekend it was. A roller coaster of emotions. Yeah.
So we have been, watching the big bear, bald eagle live nest feed on YouTube for months. Three months. Yeah. Yes. And over the last few weeks, we've been knowing that we're getting close to fledge.
We've been talking about fledge. One of the eagles fledged. It was a big deal. We still had one in the nest. And then Saturday, the other eagle accidentally fledged.
And, and it looked like and and a lot of people were saying that it looked like, fell out of the tree. And now this tree is, like, a 50 feet in the air. It's not I think it's, like, a 65. It's a 45, feet in the air. It's just under a 50 feet.
Okay. And, and the eagle looked to have fallen. Yeah. He was kind of jumping around, flopping his wings, and then missed. They do, what they call a hover where they'll they'll flap, and they'll sort of, like, stay in in place and just hover right above whatever they're perched on and then land back down.
Well, the land back down didn't go great. And the mist is fledged. Off goes into the abyss, the, the eagle. And you can't see what happened. And so you had to have they've got two different camera angles, and and you had to kinda piece things together, and you had to go back and look at time stamps.
And everything was chaotic for a minute, and then we found out that Gizmo is the second eagle. And Gizmo didn't, like, fall to a fate. Fell started flapping and flew to a nearby tree and landed and stayed there for at least twenty four hours. Yeah. That's how long it takes to calm down.
But then one of the parent eagles came over, brought some food. Brought a fish. It was really cool. Like, found where the eagle had landed in another tree, which they now called gizmo tree, and, and a whole Gizmo roost? Yeah.
Gizmo roost. Is that what they're calling? Just a complete, gambit of emotion. And then this morning, turn on the camera. I guess it was last night.
Yep. You turned on the camera and went, everybody's back in the nest. So it's Everybody at some point. Two baby eagles and then the a mom or a dad. Yeah.
And they were eating in the nest. And you're like, everybody made it home. Oh, oh, the emotions. I tell you. They know.
And so this morning, the two baby eagles are back on the, front porch of the big nest on the camera. We're watching live in the studio again because there they are. And, and that's a big deal. Because for a minute, we thought something terrible somebody was lost. Yeah.
He's not lost. He's safe. Everybody's going to Portia if they're both girls. Whatever. Everybody's calling them girls because they're bigger than the Shadow.
The dad. Yeah. Which the female eagles are usually bigger than the males. So, anyway, they're healthy. They're they're good.
Everybody's back. Everybody's alive. We're fine. We're good. And Gizmo got a scolding, like, you weren't ready.
What were you thinking? I missed. I slipped. I didn't it was an accident. Like, well, you're camping in this tree for all night, Bob.
You stay here for a minute. Just relax. So that's the big news is that you had to go from where you had fallen to a different tree to back up to that 50 feet. And, there they are. They they did it.
So that's that's a big deal, and I wonder how long until they're, like, actually ready to be off on their own. It's gonna be a little bit, but that's exciting to see. I know. They're standing there right now. Sunny fledged at, what did I tell you, 90 old, and then Gizmo fledged accidentally at 91 old.
Right. So, oh, these eagles. That was a scary weekend. Emotions ran high. Yeah.
It was it was a whole thing. There were text messages flying around. People were talking to their neighbors about it. It was a whole ordeal. So everybody's good.
Everybody's good news. So Back in the nest. We can rest easy. Take a breath. Alright.
I was shopping online, doing some shopping, and I saw these pants that were super cute, and they were cuffed at the ankle. And I didn't like that. You showed me. And I said the same thing. I said, yeah.
They're fine, but why are they cuffed like that? Like a sweat pant. Right. I didn't like them. Yeah.
And then I said, Emery, do you think these pants are cute? Because she's stylish. Sure. She'll keep me in the know. Yeah.
And she goes, they're okay for a mom. Like, they'll I don't like them, but they'd work for a mom. And I go, why would they work for a mom? And she goes, I don't know. I don't moms like showing their ankles off for some reason.
Yeah. That's why they're cuffed. See? Because moms like showing off their ankles. Showing off their ankles.
Oh, I got ankles. Oh, look at my capris. I got ankles. Bermuda shorts because I got ankles. Moms.
I don't I don't know what that means. I don't either. Moms like to show off their ankles. She's not wrong, though. Are you low, no show socks, look at my ankles, sandals because why?
I got ankles. Yeah. I don't know about I mean, there's a fine reason. I do. I I haven't worn pants that go clear to my feet Yeah.
In I don't know how long. I usually roll them up because, yeah, I like my ankles. You got on, like, a skirt today. Yeah. Right?
Yeah. Because I got ankles. Well, I got because you're wearing, like, a, like, a Birkenstock sandal. Right? Yeah.
Yeah. I look. I wear, like, a low ankle sock as well because I got ankles. And one day, I wore socks that were a little bit too tall over the ankle, and I got made fun of. By Emery?
No. By who? By our friend. Because That's right. Yeah.
She called me out for having socks that went up too high. Would she call you grandpa? Something like that. They were black. It's not like they were white.
No. I think that was worse. Was it? I think the fact that they were black and taller was the bad part. No.
If they were white, that would have been worse, I think. I don't I don't know. Who knows? Gray. I can't keep up in style.
What if they were that knit gray look? Or a dingy white. Oh, yeah. You could really see they'd been on my feet a while. Gross.
That's a good sock. Gross. That sock is doing its job. Yeah. Working overtime.
You take it off, and it just stands there on its own. Gross. Yeah. That's a gross sock. It was not that.
Ankle. Yeah. Did you order the pants, or what's the store? No. I didn't like them.
I didn't like that they were cuffed at the ankle. What would you have preferred? Just a loose open leg? I mean, I would I don't mind if it, like, tapers at the bottom, and then I'll just roll it up. Yeah.
Well, I wonder if the Like a skinny jeans. Cuff thing because it's an elastic cuff. I wonder if that's just because so many, calf muscles are different sized. So maybe they go, look. You don't have to worry about hemming these pants or having them tight.
It's an elastic cuff. Did you ever wear a stirrup pant? Did I? Yeah. No.
Because I wasn't in ballet. Either was place I would have ever worn a stirrup pant. No. They made stirrup pants for girls and women all over in the nineties and eighties. And so, yeah, there's a good chance as a regular pair of pants, you had a pair of stirrup pants.
Sixth, seventh grade. Here's the thing. What? Well, settle down. Aren't, the stirrups and stirrup pants for, like, ballet, aren't they because you've got opposing forces on a leotard?
You have the shoulders that are holding it up and the stirrups that are holding it down. So it's all, like, tight. Tight. Like a tarp. You know?
You gotta have tie down points on a tarp to keep it tight. So I think that's how the stirrups work. But if you just have pants with stirrups, what's the point? Because there's no up. Right?
Like, you're just holding the feet on. I catch that rain in your tarp, I guess. I don't I don't know. I don't know. What are you talking about?
I have no idea. Tie down points? No. I get it. I I'm following.
I just me to draw a diagram? No. How a tarp works and how leotards work? Because it's the same. I don't know where your brain goes.
I've never thought about that ever. Well, why did they put stirrups on pants? Because there was no opposing force. I guess unless you wore suspenders, then you'd have the opposing force. Why do you need an opposing force?
Because what's the point of the stirrups? I'm trying to justify their existence. It's half a leotard. Where's the top half? You're missing two tie downs.
You've tied down two parts of your tarp, and the other two ends are just flapping in the wind. It's what I'm saying. You know? I sure do. Yeah.
You know. Pretend like you don't know how tarps work. I should get some stirrup pants back. No. You should not unless it's a full shoe do you wear with a stirrup pant?
Exactly. Jellies, I guess. Oh, yep. Absolutely. Stirrup pants and jellies.
I'm gonna bring that look back. Can't wait. Here's what you do sometimes is, take a bite of apple right before it's time to talk about the radio. Yeah. Yeah.
Yeah. That was that was not the greatest decision. Sorry about that. That was not professional. Like, oh, we gotta talk.
I'll have a bite. I do that in regular life too. I know. I'll be having a conversation, then I'll be, like, mid sentence. Hold on.
Bye. Yeah. And I go, I guess we'll just sit here and wait, or you're gonna talk through the chew. And I'm not super I'm not super hot on the talk through the chew thing. Just stop eating while you're talking.
Okay. Alright. That's all. I'm done. Okay.
Mouth is cleared. Super. Okay. We went on a bike ride yesterday, and I we were in Bear Country area. This is true.
And I got a little bit nervous, and so I was talking and making a lot of noise because the last thing you wanna do is stumble upon a bear. You don't wanna surprise a bear. Yeah. You you wanna you wanna make sure that you're making enough noise that, they that they well, that they know that you're there and they and they aren't spooked. Because if you scare a bear, they they don't like that.
No. So while we were talking, we were making a lot of noises. Well, I would say we were just talking. I wasn't, like, or anything. Like, I wasn't making a bunch of noise.
We were just talking. I decided to sing. I was looking around going, god. Idaho is beautiful. Idaho is gorgeous.
And then I started to sing the Idaho song, and I couldn't remember the words. Did you pull it up? No. Alright. The Idaho song, lyrics are I know that here we have Idaho.
Yeah. That is that is the name of the official state song, here we have Idaho. And and I haven't probably sang this song since I was in the fifth grade. I sang it yesterday. Well, that is true.
And it starts out, you've heard of the wonders our land does possess. Oh, I never sing it. Start with that line. Nope. Who sings that part?
Well, and then it says, it's beautiful valleys and hills, the majestic forest where nature abounds. We love every nook and rill. Now I gotta learn what the word rill is. R I l l is a small stream. Okay.
I should know that. I actually remember that part of the song briefly. And then here's where you started. Yeah. And here we have Idaho winning her way to fame.
Silver and gold and and romance lies in her name. That is how you sang it word for word. And then and then you kept going, and then you said, I think I forgot some parts. And I went, yeah. The were probably the part you forgot.
But, no, there's more to it, that opening verse. And then there's another verse after the and here we have Idaho winning her way to fame. Silver and gold in the sunlight blaze and romance lies in her name. And then you started the singing, singing. We're singing for you.
Yeah. I always sang silver and gold in the morning. Yeah. Well, yeah, it's not the words. So now you know.
Lies. Yeah. I knew that part. Yeah. And then it says, there's truly one state in this great land of ours where ideals can be realized.
The pioneers made it so for you and me, a legacy will always prize, and then you repeat the course. Interesting. I I, one, have never heard that second verse Yeah. Ever, ever, ever. Right.
I feel like they've changed the words. You think? I don't think so. I mean, it's been around for a while. Since '19.
It became the state song in 1931. Yeah. It's been there a minute. Interesting. Yeah.
Almost a hundred years. I kinda wanna learn other state songs. Are there other state songs? Here we have Missouri. Misery?
Missouri. Here we have misery. Yeah. Do you think they just have the same tune? They just plug in their own stuff?
Here we have Illinois. Oh, good. What if they have more syllables? What I wanna know is because then after I sang the Idaho song, we started talking about Idaho history, which you and I grew up in different towns. Sure.
We each took our Idaho history in the fourth grade. I remember our kids taking Idaho history in the fourth grade. Yeah. Does that still happen today? Are people still taking Idaho history in the fourth grade?
Yeah. And, also, is there Minnesota history in the fourth grade? There's got it. Right. California history in the fourth grade?
Do all of the other states do their state history classes in the fourth grade? Is that federally mandated? I'm curious. Gotta find out. I know.
I'm curious to know. So if you grew up in a different state, call in and let us know. You gotta let us know. Sure. When did you take your state history classes?
Yeah. Did you? And when? And do you know your state song? Just a quick little thing.
I gotta find out about the state song thing, but it says, no. Not all states specifically require state history to be taught in the fourth grade, although many do. State history is often introduced in elementary school. Some states include it in grades three and four. Oh, okay.
So they do both. Curriculum standards and the specific grade levels for state history study can vary considerably between states, but not all of them even do it. And then my question is, does everybody get Lewis And Clark? Does everybody get Oregon Trail? Like, if you're on East Coast, do you get Lewis And Clark?
No. That's an Idaho only thing, I think. I would imagine that's Idaho only. You're not gonna get that in new York. You don't think so?
You don't think in South Carolina, they're like, let's tell you about Lewis And Clark. No. They're gonna get their areas, whatever it is. I feel like, that that sort of robs the nation of all of the history. Like, I wanna know about what happened in South Carolina and their settlement.
Right. I guess I'm a grown adult. I can go research it. I'm curious to know. If you grow up not in Idaho, what was your history?
What was your state history? When did you learn it? And sing your state song? And, again, I'm gonna tell you, no. Not all US states have an official state song.
Really? Yep. Did you just look that up? Yep. What determines if they get a state song or not?
And it says here New Jersey is the only state without a recognized state song. Oh, Jersey. And then some states like West Virginia have multiple state songs. West Virginia. Don't be greedy.
Give some to New Jersey. Yeah. Share. Share with New Jersey. Come on.
Anyway, (208) 525-9797 is the phone number. If you wanna talk about state history outside of Idaho and state songs outside of Idaho because it's very interesting. Binder. Remember? I don't know if you did.
Oh, binder. Binder of state history. Yeah. So every day for, like, a month that we would learn state history stuff. Yeah.
I had a whole binder. And then we had to do a project based on what we learned, like the end of state history project. Yeah. And we had to make something based on what we learned. It could be a diorama.
It could be something made out of clay. A sculpture. It could have been anything like that. Guess what I did? I don't know.
I made a Papoose for my No way. Barbie doll. How about it? Yeah. I made a little what?
I think I made it out of yarn. A yarn Papoose? Yeah. Don't you have to have, like, a rigid structure? Like, a a rigid skeleton?
Firm. I made it pretty Did you crochet it? No. I crocheted it. You crocheted a papoose?
Yeah. My mom helped. So your mom crocheted a papoose? No. I did it.
What time in the afternoon slash evening did you say, mom, I need a pupoose for school tomorrow? I don't know. Late. Guarantee. And I think I didn't have a little I didn't have a baby Barbie, and so I put a miss piggy in the pupoose.
I had a little toxic miss Piggy. That's adorable. I know. But then I got sick of it, and I had to cut it off so I could actually play with my Barbie. Slash miss Piggy.
Yeah. Yeah. Okay. Get out of here, Papoose. We're done.
Alright. Bike ride yesterday. You wanna talk about your flat tire? Oh, man. Look.
The trail was beautiful. Everything was going fine. We had decided we were gonna turn back and head back to the trailhead. We had ridden about two and a half miles or so down the trail, turned around, and all of a sudden, my bike goes plop plop plop plop plop plop plop plop plop plop plop. And I went, no way.
Here's why. No way. Because I literally, on Saturday, late, ran to the store because we had talked about going on a bike ride, and I had a flat tire already. And so I said, I'm gonna I gotta get a new tube because I tried to patch it. It didn't work.
And so I said, well, I'm gonna go grab a new tube. Ran to the store, got a tube. Minutes to spare. Yeah. Like, I I had to run-in the store, grab the thing, check out, because I hate being that guy.
Yep. Everybody hates Who? Well, not everybody. Like, the store closes at ten, and I walk in at 09:50. Everyone goes Right.
And they go, this guy. And so I ran in, got what I needed, checked out, left before they even had to say there are five minutes left, and please get your final purchases. Like, I'm out. I'm out. Yep.
Good job. So really hustled, to make that happen. And then Changed your tube. Yeah. Got my new tube, got my bike, got everything loaded.
We're ready. We're rocking. We're out. We're headed out. Let's go.
Let's go ride bikes. Get there, ride the trail, turn around, headed back, plump plump plump plump. And I went, I just a brand new tube. How do I have a flat tire? It's a brand new tube.
And so I pull over, and I'm spinning the tire, and I find a thorn. It it was at least an inch long thorn stabbed into into my tire, and I went, no way. So I pull that out, and, and then I'm like, well, I have my patch kit. I guess I'll just try and do a trail patch here. So I take apart the tire, put the patch where the the hole was.
It's holding air. I pump it back up. And the bike pump that I have for my backpack is the tiniest little pump. Travel pump. Yeah.
It's a the pump you would use to fill a volleyball up. It's a tiny pump. And so, I'm pumping that up, and, and it's it's fine. It's holding some air. Start right in.
Yeah. I was doing so many nice things for you. I was helping. I was singing songs. I was keeping you occupied.
Yeah. It was pretty good. I didn't I I don't know that I even noticed that you were singing songs and all that. You didn't. Yeah.
It's okay. It didn't stop me from distracting you or trying to distract you. I at one point, here's what I do that you you love. Uh-huh. The whole family loves when when I do this.
If you're trying to think of the name of somebody, like, you're like, who's that person? I'll be like, Mike, Bill. Yeah. You just started finishing my sentences with words you assumed I was going to say, which I wasn't even close to saying. You just started plugging in words, and I went, no.
Stop. Stop doing that. You're spinning your bike tire. You go, oh, there's a thorn. I go, in my side.
And I'm in my head. No. That's not what I Helpful. It wasn't. That's my middle name.
No. It's not. It is not helpful. So, yeah, so I I get the tire, put it all back together. I get it full of air.
We start riding down the trail. We probably got a quarter of a mile, and you were like, your tire's looking flat again. And I went, oh, come on. Yeah. So what I think has happened, I think that one thorn was a big hole, but I think there's other little pokies in my tire.
Yeah. I think so too. Wherever you rode last time that. I so I I need to replace the rubber tire, and I've gotta get another new tube. I said, if you it's getting flatter and flatter as you go along.
But if you pedal really fast, you could probably make it out with your flat tire before it gets too flat. Yeah. I got I got about, half a mile away from the trailhead when it went totally flat again. And then I just had to walk, which was fine. It'll be fine.
It was fine. I get your company. Yeah. Just walk my bike. And then I tried, to do some fishing when we got back to the truck because I figured we're in the mountains.
I got all my gear. I might as well try and fish. And that, it was late, and I was not really, like, a % into it. Yeah. But I don't just fish were biting either because we sat and watched that crane try to fish for a long time, and he wasn't getting any bites either.
Well, he didn't, like He wasn't fishing. He's just waiting for a fish to get near the bank so he could reach in and grab it. Right. But he wasn't doing any I don't think he could see any nearby fish. Yeah.
I don't know. And he was funny, though, because he'd walk over to the bank, and then he'd peek his head over. I know. I'm like, that's a good strategy. I just peek my head over this grass here.
Maybe I can see a fish. Which then I wondered, are crane eyeballs polarized? I don't know that either. Bird eyes polarized? Like, what can they see that we can't?
It's gotta be fast. Gotta be something too because the eagles can I know? From spot that stuff from miles and miles away. Yeah. Wild.
Wow. Wild. You're wild. Alright. The question I have for you.
I know what you're gonna ask. What am I gonna ask? You're gonna ask, was it worth it? That's exactly what I was gonna ask. What have we been married for so long?
See, you can you can actually finish my sentences. I know I can. Chose on the bike trail to be a jerk. No. No.
No. No. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah.
Yeah. I just didn't I wasn't a jerk. You were just having fun? I I was just yeah. I was just In a in a moment of turmoil and stress, you're like, oh, you know what would be fun is if I add to that.
Let me kick you while you're down. Anyway, the question is, was having a yard sale worth it? It was worth it. Yeah? It was worth it.
So all total and this was a multifamily yard sale, over the course of the weekend, Friday and Saturday. What was the grand total? Like, $1,800. Like, that's incredible. I know.
Right? Now that's split out over multiple families. So we ourselves did not make $1,800, but the yard sale generated a good portion of money. That's pretty awesome. Ourself, we made about 650?
Almost almost 700. It was, like, $6.96. Come on. Just under $700, which is And takeout. That's awesome.
We bought donuts. Yeah. We bought some food. Food in there, some breakfast in there. So take that out of the equation.
Things I would say that you were kind of, like, ho humming about, when we first talked about having a yard sale was all the work that was gonna need to be done. How'd that go for you? Oh, easy. Yeah. Easy because, Emery and I did it.
So there's that. Running the yard sale, talking to people, how'd that go? Oh, I don't do that part. Right. So that was all taken care of.
So there are other people. How about the money? I didn't do that much either. Because Emery did the money. So, so that was good.
And, and so how'd it go for you? Good. Yeah. Good. It was awesome.
So Good. Good. Good. Alright. Great.
I usually do a lot to help you get ready, but the week was slam packed, and I just didn't know when we were gonna have time to do the yard sale. You luckily had time. So you did make a lot of time to make it happen. You did do a lot of the the grunt work to make that happen. And then and then in addition to the outcome of making some money, which I said, look.
It's probably only gonna be a couple hundred bucks, but it's worth it to make a couple hundred dollars on the stuff rather than just donate it. Right. And we did have plenty of stuff at the end that just got hauled off and donated, to the thrift store. So that's that's also at the I mean, the end, you're like, when as people are shopping, you're like, take it. Take it.
Just take it. Yeah. You want you want a pile of clothes in a bag? Go nuts. Some kid came up with snow goggles.
He He was like, how much are these? I'm like, they're yours. Take them for free. Have a good day. For free?
Right. I was like, yes. Yeah. And he walked away wearing them, walking down the sidewalk wearing ski goggles. That's the that's a look.
I like it. I think it's awesome. And then, what was the other thing? Oh, eliminated the, storage unit. So we no longer have a monthly storage unit bill.
So got got that long term savings and then, made a few hundred dollars. And then, and took our stuff. And now I don't have all this crap. Yeah. I mean, high quality, good stuff.
High quality, gently used items. We did have there was a family that came around with four little girls Yeah. And found out that they listen. Yes. And they were big fans?
That's right. The the the little girls listened to the show, which was awesome. I assume the parents listened as well. So hi, everybody. Thanks for listening.
That's awesome. And then I was helping load, my my sister had sold a crib, and I was helping load it into a lady's car in the back of the truck. And she said, you look familiar to me right now. And and before I could even say, you know, oh, well, that's probably because of what I do. It's my face.
It's you're recognizing because of my face. She went, no. The radio. And I went, yeah. And so I said, it's you know, I'm Josh.
This is Chantel's over there at the garage. And, yeah, thanks for stopping by, and thanks for listening. She's like, we listen every day. That's awesome. So that was cool.
She's like, I've seen the date nights and all the stuff. Oh. That's cool. So, yeah. So that was kinda fun.
A couple of people got to bump into them and, made a couple hundred bucks and got rid of a storage unit bill, and it's worth it. Listen. I sat in the garage. I snacked on a doughnut, and I watched as my sister-in-law and brother-in-law mingled and sold and Yeah. Schmoozed and sold all my stuff.
And they are good at it. Yeah. And, hopefully, everyone enjoys the items that they purchased. Thank you for stopping by our yard sale. Yeah.
Thanks for taking all my stuff. Gently used, well cared for items. I saw a video yesterday where a woman had been looking through her she was cleaning up her bedroom, and she found a stack of I don't know what she was cleaning. Some kind of room. And she found a stack of old birthday cards that she had kept and kept and kept.
From, like, when she was a kid. Like, a box of them Okay. From when she was a kid Yeah. Up to about I I can't remember, like, ten years ago or so. And it made me wonder.
I used to keep some birthday cards, but not all of them. Like, if it was made it like, yeah. I was gonna say, what made the card worthy of being kept? If there was, like, a note written in there, like a special note. Yeah.
If somebody had signed the card, if they just wrote their name, then I got rid of it. But it was kinda nice to, like, if I was feeling down, I'd be like, I'm gonna read my birthday cards. Well, can you read, like, I mean, rather than have a whole box of those things, couldn't you just cut that part out? You could. Put it on a page somewhere in a journal or something?
You could. I mean, I'm just You could. Throwing that out there. And then it got me thinking of somewhere in our house, somewhere in our shed or somewhere, there's a box of wedding mementos that we saved, and I think there's It's in our memento box. Yeah.
I think there's a box of wedding cards in there. That we've had for almost twenty years. Uh-huh. That's interesting. I think it gets less and less saved.
Like, you know, if somebody's just gonna throw some money in a card or whatever, and they're gonna go happy birthday and sign it, and then they hand you that card. Like, I think I I display them for, like, a week or whatever. I put them up on the piano, but then after that, they I don't think we keep them around. Well, I don't. No.
Not anymore. Yeah. I used to years and years and years ago, but you can't you can't save everything. Right. I can't.
Unless it's got a nice little note in it, and then you just cut that note out and put it in your journal. That's what I'm saying. Like, I think there's a way you could do it that isn't gonna be cluttery. You know? Yeah.
If you wanna hang on to it for a sentimental reason. There years ago, I had a job where there were different departments. Mhmm. And there was one department that wasn't very friendly. And I got an I got an email from that department that was nice.
They had said some very complimentary things. And so I saved that email. Oh, nice. And anytime, like, that department was kinda cranky, I'd be like, I'm gonna go read that email. I'm gonna go read that email.
I'm gonna go read that email. I'm gonna go read that email. Okay. There are times when you can be nice. You have a history of saying nice things.
Why did you not, keep that? Not a history. Just once. Yeah. And I'd be like, remember when you said you liked me?
I'm gonna go back and read that email. So you're hanging on to emails now, printed out emails. No. It wasn't printed. I just saved it in my inbox or in a Is it printed now?
No. And I don't work there anymore, so I don't even I couldn't even tell you when it's done. Wish you had it? Kinda. So you could go read nice things about yourself when you want to?
Yeah. Kinda. Okay. Got it. Feeling down and out?
Sure. Somebody say something nice. Yeah. You used to say nice things. I've heard that line before.
You used to be romantic. Yeah. Well used to say nice things. You gave up. I didn't give up.
What are you talking about? It's just not on your schedule. It's just when it when a romantic moment comes up, I go, hey. You're looking nice. Not And you go, you used to tell me all the time I look nice.
You used to try to impress me. You did. That's not a lie. I'm like an old birthday card. You gotta sometimes you just gotta, like, go back and go, there was a nice note in there once.
Gotta cut it out and put it in my No. Can you get it? Right. Write it down and go, he said a nice thing. A nice thing on June 9.
That's right. I said one nice thing. One. Just one. Yeah.
Now you say one. I'll think about it. Oh. We might need a sauce purge. Is that a thing?
Nah. You don't think so? We need those sauces. Okay. Look.
You were cleaning out the fridge the other day looking at, like, expired sauces in the doors of the fridge. It's not just the fridge, though. We've got sauce in the fridge. We've got a big old bag of, like, restaurant sauces that, by the way, you must have spent some time organizing because inside the giant gallon bag are individual smaller ziplocks for each restaurant. So if you like a Taco Bell hot sauce, that's in this bag.
If you like a Jack in the Box taco sauce, it's in this bag. If you like a whatever hot sauce, it's over here. Yeah. I did organize that. Alright.
It's nice. Thanks for noticing. I did notice. It's a little, OCD, but I noticed. No.
Because that's a big bag of sauces. Sure. And I hated when I was trying to find, like, a A specific restaurant sauce. Sauce. Because you can't mix one restaurant's food with another restaurant's sauce.
No. You cannot. It doesn't work that way. It's just chaos. And in the Taco Bell hot sauce Yeah.
They're separated into the hot and the mild. Alright. Because I don't like the mild. So And I don't like the hot. Has its own baggie.
Well, that's cute. I had time one day. Is that right? You didn't, but here's what happened. You were supposed to be doing a task and then like, cleaning the pantry.
And then you took out the sauce bag and went, no. This has to be done right now. And then you spent forty five minutes sorting sauces into little bags and putting it away, and then you went, that's not like, I'll I'll do the rest of the pantry later, and then close the door. Yeah. Probably.
That's what happened. That is probably what happened. I've seen that happen Yeah. So many why are you taking Q tips and, and toothpicks to the, little rails where the windows slide? Like, well, I was looking outside, and I was thinking about vacuuming.
And then I saw that it was dirty, and so now I'm doing this for the last forty five minutes. Yeah. Yeah. That happens. Alright.
Yeah. That's fine. And then you go, but it's kinda therapeutic, and I like it even though it's pearls. And then once it's done, I was like, look at the window. Did you?
Yeah. Cool. And then I went, oh, no. Don't lick the floor because I haven't vacuumed because I spent so much time cleaning the window. Because the right.
But now I don't wanna get the vacuum. I've been standing here for an hour doing this. It's a problem. Yeah. I'm gonna go sit down somewhere.
So that's fine. So that's what happened. But we've got a lot of sauces in that room. A lot of sauces. We should probably, share a video of the amount of sauces that we have because the pantry has sauce.
The cupboard has sauce. What I'm saying. The the yeah. The cupboard, the fridge. We got sauces everywhere.
The camper has its own sauces. Yeah. You know what's what's sad, though, is that I'm almost out of my favorite hot sauce. I gotta go get another bottle. I gotta go get toothpaste.
So That's kind of a sauce. Would you rather this or that? Would you rather have half your IQ, but a normal size head oh, sorry. Half your IQ with a normal size head Oh, where's this going? Or twice your IQ, but a twice as big a head.
I'm going with the twice big IQ, twice big head. Yeah? Yeah. Why? Oh, I'd be so smart.
You would be so smart. And I have that huge head, and everybody'd know it. They'd be like, that guy is a Megamind. Have you seen Megamind? I have seen Megamind.
Big head, big IQ. Megamind. You'd have to get everything, your motorcycle helmet customized, hats customized, hoodies. Yep. What else goes on your head?
I would just always wear button up and zip up. I wouldn't wear anything I have to pull over my giant noggin. Good thinking. They they make other ways to put shirts on. Beanies, customized.
I'm so smart. I'd figure it out. I bet I could handle a task like that because of my giant IQ and my two size big two head. I've seen some folks with pretty large heads, and I have a I have a pretty good sized noggin. You do.
But I yeah. Thanks. But I've seen, there was one of the guys you remember Extreme Makeover Home Edition? Yeah. When you and I, participated that in that show when it was filming in Pocatello Uh-huh.
And one of the dudes, his head, large, real big. One of the guys from the show. I don't even remember that. Did I not mention it? Maybe I kept it to myself.
I think you did. That's a nice thing to do, Just keep it to yourself. Yeah. And then years later, talk about it on the radio. You can't say something nice.
Don't say anything. Look. I don't know which guy it was. I'm not gonna say. I know it wasn't your friend, Ty.
But other than that, it was one of the guys, And he had a big noggin, and I was I just remarked at it in my in my own self and went, that's a large head. He was probably really smart. He probably had a big IQ. Big IQ, big brain, big body, big head. You don't know that.
Didn't have a big body. He was a normal sized body. Just a big head. He's had a big head. If you had a big head, I'd have to be making all those kind of Sputnik jokes and orange juice and pick and That's rude.
Huge pillow. I'd I'd make those jokes constantly. You know I would. I couldn't help myself. That's rude.
I don't say things about your head. Sorry. What'd you pick? I'm gonna go big IQ too. Yeah.
Big Edge. I want big IQ too. We have big old bobbleheads. It'll be fine. It'll be cool.
So this feels like maybe not the best idea, but I'm so curious about it that I kinda wanna know what's gonna happen. What is it? So in a lot of sanctioned sports and pretty much all of them, there are specific rules against performance enhancing, drugs and and supplements and all that kind of stuff. Right. Right?
Like, they they don't want you taking a bunch of chemicals and stuff. Kinda like cheating. Right. Now the question is, what if everyone who was competing were allowed to do that? What would happen?
But when my records could be broken? What if I want to participate, but I don't want to? I just wanna see what my natural body can do. That's not what I'm talking about. I'm not talking about you go into, let's say, swimming because that's the example here.
And you go, like, I'm gonna be a competitive swimmer, and you're gonna train, and you're gonna work hard, and you're gonna eat clean, and you're gonna do all those things to try and be the best in the sport you can be. Mhmm. And you're gonna go, and you're gonna swim, and you're gonna accomplish things, and you expect to compete against people who are putting in the same effort, not people who are cutting corners by taking, you know, human growth hormones and all this other stuff to make themselves bigger and stronger than you. Right. Right?
Right. That's not what I'm talking about. I'm talking about everyone who is competing is allowed to take all of this stuff. This is happening. It's called the enhanced games.
And it's literally, let's see what happens. If you take performance enhancing stuff, how fast can you go? Wow. That feels so dangerous. It's absolutely dangerous.
Totally agree that it is dangerous. The there are governing bodies for different sports, including the World Aquatics, which is the body, for swimming and other water sports. Uh-huh. They have chimed in, and they have said they will ban from the World Aquatics, organization any athlete who takes part in the enhanced games Good. In the swimming competitions.
If you are going to do it, you don't get to compete with nonenhanced athletes anymore. Good. So you will get perma banned. And I would imagine there will be other sport organizations and and different groups that are gonna say, yep. And I think cycling's gonna be one of the first to come out next because they had such a thing with Lance Armstrong that they are gonna have to go, like, yep, us two to keep in in step with what they've already inside.
I feel it feels dangerous. It feels sketchy. I I don't know. Curiosity makes me go, like, how fast can the human body move? Like, we know it goes fast.
Usain Bolt know we know it goes quick. But how quick can it go? Yeah. But I don't wanna see that at the at the sake of his health or somebody's health. That's what I mean.
I mean, that's their own decision. I get it. Right? Like, nobody is doing this to anyone. Consenting.
I get it. But if they're competing, then they're gonna do it harder. They're gonna do it more. They're gonna do it. No.
And I don't I don't I don't like it. Because, like, there are people that do, you know, steroids and things like that for, for lifting, like, to be able to bulk up and look bigger. And and I don't know that that necessarily translates into strength if you aren't training. I don't know this. I don't I'm not I'm not a big steroid guy.
So, maybe you've seen me, and maybe you know this. But but, like, you look at me and go, I don't know. I got might be juicing. No. Juice boxing, maybe.
Juice boxing. But but not Juice Newton. What? The the artist? Yeah.
You're just throwing that out there because it says the word juice? Yes. Alright. I get it. I'm with you.
I mean, you know, this guy over here. Look at him. Juice Newton. Just do Whatever that She was a she was a singer. No.
No. No. My point is, like, you just brought that out of thin air. So, you know Yeah. I'm Juice Newton.
Yeah. Okay. Good for you. Fig Newton ing. Yeah.
No. Not yeah. Strange. Isaac Newton ing. Alright.
We've done it. Just playing on words. Yeah. What a fun game. Alright.
So, anyway, we'll see what happens with other sports, but, it seems interesting from the from the scientific aspect of what I disagree. Curious to see what competitively the human body can do. But, again, these people are gonna have to do that, and there are absolutely risks involved. Of course. And, and they oftentimes, because of the their decisions, don't get a chance to compete.
Yeah. So this might create an opportunity for some folks to compete that they haven't. And maybe they don't care that they're never gonna be able to swim competitively because they're really into doing performance enhancement. I love it. And I'm gonna swim like a crazy fish.
I'm not gonna watch it because I'm not gonna support this kind of behavior. Alright. That's fine. I don't plan on watching it either. I'm just curious about it.
Not like I gotta mark this on my calendar because the Olympics of steroids is gonna be awesome. I'm not. But it is happening in Las Vegas next year, and it'll be I'm I'm curious. I'm curious to see I'm not. What the human body is capable of.
But, anyway hey. You wanna wrap up the show? Let's do it. Alright. Wrap it up.
