Okay. You could still go a little bit quick. Oh, man. It's just Josh, it's just early. I mean Alright.
Settle down. I mean, the difference between our headphones is is a pretty staggering thing. Why? Because just if you put on mine, you'd, I guess, be running for the hills. I don't know.
I I run them, I run them a little hot. Running for the hills? Yeah. Okay. You're like, that's too loud.
I gotta go to the hills. You say I say old things. Yeah. Okay. Run for the hills.
What were you saying? I'm sorry. I was saying that I like a Thursday that's actually a Friday. Too. Right.
I like a Friday that's a Friday. I like a Wednesday that's a Friday. That's right. I'll just take any Friday. You and I are going to try our best to extend this, long weekend into, many days.
So, we won't be here tomorrow. Correct. Monday is the actual holiday, and we won't be here Tuesday. So, Oh, I forgot. Yeah.
Yeah. Yeah. So next week's a three dayer, which I like. Next week? Yeah.
Because we don't want them until Wednesday. I get you. I get you. Along. Do you need me to turn your headphones up so you can hear me better?
I turned them way down. No. I'm here. Oh, let's wake up. I know.
I shouldn't have done math and numbers so early. That that was my fault. That was your fault. And I got spooked by a cop on the way in, so I'm all rattled. I know.
Flashed his lights at me, and I went, am I getting pulled over? No. He was just giving me a warning. Of what, though? I don't know.
Because I was behind you, and I saw it happen. And I went, what's that for? Like, he's next to you. Yeah. He sped up to catch up next to you, turned on his lights, and then went away.
And then skedaddled. I don't know what that means. Turned off his lights. Maybe he was like, hey. Good looking.
Was there a siren noise or just the lights? His lights. I wonder. I wonder too. I don't know what you're do?
Well, I was kinda speeding a little bit. Oh. After I told you, hey. There's a cop. Don't speed.
Yeah. And then I sped. And I have a taillight out, so it could have been that. And I texted you to say, hey. Don't speed, so it could have been that.
I I was doing a lot of bad things. Yeah. Don't do all those bad things. You're doing many bad things at once. Guess what?
Everybody else is speeding too. Okay. There were so many cars around us speeding. Let me tell you me. Let me tell you what happens if if if you get pulled over and you everyone else was doing it.
Yeah. They go, yeah, but I got you. So we're gonna deal with you right now. Well, I pulled over, and the he didn't follow me. Mine So I did what I was supposed to do.
He kept going. He did kept going. Yeah. Maybe he was, he was mad that you sent a warning. Maybe he was like Maybe he was trying to get you.
Maybe. And, yeah, he was mad that I sent a warning to you. Yeah. Perhaps. You just never know.
Or maybe he's a Robinhood fan, and he saw my sticker on that. Maybe that's it. Maybe he's like, oh, yeah. Oodle Lolly is the one. That's it.
Golly, what a day. Golly, what a day. And you say, I say old stuff. Oodle Lolly. Golly, what a day.
I don't say that. Robinhood does. I know. I know. Anyway, what else is going on this morning?
Let's see. I don't know. I should be more tired than I am. I feel a little bit jazzed. Oh, okay.
Alright. Well, keep that going. Okay. And good morning. Good morning.
I don't know who sets the trends, the fashion trends, but they gotta stop. It's the fashion industry. Right? I don't know. The designers, the people that I don't know.
Why? What's up? What's the fashion trend? Thing is the hashtag is boots only summer. Boots only summer.
But it doesn't make any sense because it's cleats. What? Yep. People are wearing soccer cleats in everyday life. It's becoming a viral sensation, they say, with the hashtag boots only summer.
Well, I have really nice cleats. I'll just start wearing them. You'll be in trend. I will be. I mean, I'm wear is this, like, an extension of Sambas?
I think so. Because Sambas are an indoor soccer shoe. Real Sambas, I will say. Not the fake sombas that they mass produced Yep. To To get all of the influencers to wear.
Make a bunch of trends happen. And you've been wearing those forever. I've been wearing sombas since high school. I've been wearing them for a very long time. So you are much cooler than everybody.
Oh, of course. King cool over here. That's me. People put the cleats on just to run errands. I gotta go to the store and get my cleats on.
That's weird. It is weird because you know what? It makes those click clack sounds. It does, and they're also very slippery on so. On Yeah.
Not grass. And also uncomfortable. Yeah. And, also, you're gonna wear down the spikes faster if you care about that. I don't think you care about that if you're running around in cleats.
It's a pure vibe, they're saying. I don't know what that means. I wonder if somebody was like, I bet if I write an article and and say cleats are awesome, people will start wearing cleats watch. Like, it's an experiment. And then people are like, yeah.
I gotta get some cleats. Maybe every fashion thing is an experiment. Are they possible. Boots only summer. It's mostly dudes so far.
I mean, I I own soccer cleats. I could absolutely do this. But, also, why is the hashtag boots only soccer? I I think boots, is like an actual soccer term. I mean, they call soccer football.
Right? So, there's probably it's it's football boots. That sounds like a soccer thing. It could be. I'll just start wearing my shin guards too.
Why not? Here's a video. My goalie gloves everywhere I go. Yeah. Like, I'm ready to play soccer at any given moment.
Like, let's go. Here's a video it says. This summer is ours, boys. Hashtag boots only summer. Another there's another one.
Yeah. And then this one is girls wearing cleats. That's a messy jersey. It looks weird with the big wide leg pants. It looks ridiculous.
It looks ridiculous with straight leg pants. The whole thing is ridiculous. I like soccer cleats. I think they look cool when you're playing soccer. Playing soccer.
Yeah. I like wearing mine. They're It's like bowling shoes. That's what we need to do. Yeah.
We'll just wear bowling shoes Mhmm. To retroact the soccer cleats. This sounds good. Oh, you brought your soccer cleats? I brought my bowling shoes.
Yeah. So take it. Okay. That's another thing. Now if you wear bowling shoes outside, bowling shoes are slippery.
Everything is a distraction. Right. They they're not meant to be worn outside. They're meant for a purpose. Plus, they have cardboard soles.
Yeah. So if you wanna walk around on cardboard all day, get yourself some house bowling shoes. That sounds nice. And you won't look like a clown at all. Emery has a pair of soccer not soccer cleats, but she's got Her spikes.
Her sprint spikes. I wish I could find my sprint spikes. I don't know where they end up. Cute. Yeah.
Her that's see, but that's the other thing. You add a little color to your shoe. Like, there's there's definitely a look. Like, I have, like, I can't remember the brand. There's some Italian brand of, soccer soccer cleat.
Fancy. They are kinda fancy, actually. But then everywhere you go, it's gonna be a click clack. Yeah. I'm gonna try it.
I'll put them on. Here's the deal, though. Like, I know the second I walk in the house on the hardwood floors, I'm gonna slip. Yeah. And you're gonna mess up the floor, probably.
They're not metal. Oh, they're not? No. They're they're just hard plastic. Oh, I just listen.
In the wintertime, sometimes, the parking lots get a little sketch. Yeah. And so I wear spikes over my shoes. Metal spikes. And But they're also little spikes.
They're not they're not a full But when I get past the snow onto the sidewalk and it's just bare sidewalk and it's like Sure. It's awful. It's like wearing snow wearing snow tires on your car in July, isn't it? Yes. You wouldn't do it.
You wouldn't. Quit wearing cleats on everyday life. They're for the field. Crazy people. I don't know who sets the trend either.
But Just wear regular shoes. Come on. I mean, you spend some money on them, and you only wear them when you're on the field. Like, I mine are great. I could wear them.
I'll put them on. Alright. I'll do a boots only summer video. Only summer. Yeah.
Oh, boy. Some good news to get you going, Chantel. Let's hear it. Tonight is the commencement ceremony at the University of Maryland, and the graduating students are in a treat. I've heard Have you heard?
Yeah. You've heard who will be delivering the, first commencement address at the school in nearly thirty years? It's a little green frog. It is a little green frog. It is Kermit the frog.
Muppets creator, Jim Henson, earned his degree at the University of Maryland in 1960. He passed away in 1990, but is remembered fondly on campus. There's a statue of Jim there on campus. Kermit will be offering advice and guidance during his Kermentsment Nice. Speech.
Uh-huh. His message suggests that graduates leap into opportunity and remember that this big step into adulthood doesn't mean leaving behind their inner children, which I think is really cool. And listen to this. Kermit said and I'm not gonna do the voice. Please don't.
But Kermit said, maybe we're at our best when we allow ourselves to continue to grow and learn something new every day. He said, I kind of hope these graduates keep that sophisticated childlike sense of curiosity and imagination and innovation as they travel down their paths. Aw. I think that's really good. I hope every graduate follows that rule.
Buddy could listen to that sentence. Yep. I'll read it again. K. Maybe we're at our best when we allow ourselves to continue to grow and learn something new every day.
I kind of hope these graduates keep that sophisticated, childlike sense of curiosity and imagination and innovation as they travel down their paths. I think that's so good. Oh, Kermit. Yeah. Kermit.
So cool. That's Thank you. That's really fun. I'm sure there'll be some video of it, after it happens. But that's tonight at the University of Maryland at their commencement ceremony.
Kermit the frog delivering his first commencement address in nearly thirty years. And that is good news to get you going. If there ever was good news, it's Kermit hanging out Delivering. Life advice. Yep.
It's awesome. Nice. There was a news anchor in Schenectady, New York Okay. Who went into labor just before her morning newscast, and she still continued on. No way.
Still anchored the show. Did she take pauses between contractions? How did that work out? Like, have you seen the video? I haven't seen the video.
That is craziness. Her water broke at 04:15 Yeah. In the morning. K. And she was on the air about ninety minutes later.
She said her contractions weren't that close together, and she'd rather be at work than the hospital. Fair. Well, I know, like, when when you went into labor with, with Emery, you called, the midwives, and they're like, no. You're talking, so stay home. I know.
How rude. We we can have a conversation. You're not ready. I know. Do you remember?
I was so mad when they said that to me. Because you were like, no. I'm ready to get this baby out of here. Let's get out of here. Yeah.
And she was like, no, honey. Just go back to sleep. Yeah. Because it was late at night. And she said, just go get some rest and call me when you can't talk to me.
Yeah. A few hours later, I called because you couldn't talk. And they said, cool. That's better. Now we're hearing from the right person.
We'll see you in a few minutes. And then my water broke Yeah. In the elevator. That is correct. That is correct.
I don't think that hospital doesn't exist anymore. No. You're right. Bad. So you can't you can't go step in that Step in the bathroom in water.
Listen. I didn't leave a puddle or anything. I know. It sounds like, like, one of those graphic scenes from a movie where it's like Yeah. That's not how it is.
I know. It's not how it actually works. I know. But do you remember when on the way to the hospital, when we were driving to the hospital, the window was rolled down. It was pretty early in the morning.
I think it was probably three or four that we were driving to the hospital. Yeah. And Yeah. The window down, and you were, like, in pain going, ah, as we're like, you were the siren for the car. And you were embarrassed.
Remember? You kept going. Roll the window up. Hey. And I was like, you do not tell me what to do.
No. I don't think that I would continue to do my job. She's got a she's got a good loyalty to that position. I wouldn't continue to do my job. Although, I did have a job when I was pregnant, and I was very, very sick.
And I was the only one manning the store Right. On occasion, and so I'd have to go in the back room. Right. Where the security cameras, screen was at. Watch So you'd know if somebody came in and needed help.
Right. I would watch the security camera as well. Puking in a garbage can. Yeah. That's how that goes.
Pregnancy is wonderful. Isn't it? Every minute. Glamorous and amazing and beautiful. I know people, go through it, in in different ways.
Every single person's got a different, story in a different way that their theirs went. For you, you were sick every day of both pregnancies. Every day, all day wasn't just morning. No. It was all day for the entire duration.
You're a you're a champion. Yeah. That's why I only have two children. I'm not And you did totally natural, no epidural, for our daughter's birth, which was insane. You're insane, but you did it.
I tried to back out at the last minute, but It was it was You wouldn't let me. You had a plan. You wanted it to go one way. I'm helping you protect your plan. My midwives would have changed it either.
Plan. I'm calling it audible. My midwives, I go, I just want the pain medication. I changed my mind. And she said, no, honey.
We're doing so good. You're already there. So good. Keep going. I said, I need Josh.
If I just cry to Josh, he'll let me have it. No. No. You didn't either. I will help you do what you wanted to do when you were in a more sane state of mind.
Because it was good. It was exciting. And It was really cool. Really cool. Anyway, good for that lady.
I know. Good for that lady. She's had the baby now, so everything everybody's healthy and good. I think so. I I guess we would probably not be sharing the story if it wasn't.
Yeah. I don't have that information. Alright. Well have the information that I do have. Good luck to to the family and the new baby.
That's a big deal. So Hopefully, she, spends some time Yeah. At home Yeah. To rest and the news can wait. They got the remote cameraman out there.
Here we are checking in. What's her name? Olivia. Olivia. Olivia Jacquweet.
Alright. Well, congrats, Olivia. You made me eat my snap peas in the corner yesterday. No. I didn't.
You decided to eat your snap peas in the corner yesterday. Why, Josh? Why? Because they were loud, and you felt bad. No.
You said that they were loud. They were loud. You said that they were loud. They weren't loud by themselves. They're pretty quiet if you just leave them sitting there.
But when you're eating them It's an exaggeration. It was a slow mo. I think you have a problem. Yeah. I do.
It's called misophonia, and I need the world to accommodate Yeah. My struggle. Mostly me. You're you're my world. So I need the world to accommodate my misophonia.
That was smooth. Smooth operator. Like creamy peanut butter. That was nice. Alright.
Listen. Here's the deal. I I do have a thing with food noises. I've had it for a very long time. Like, as long as I can remember, I've had a thing with really, mouth noises, not so much food.
Food's great. It's the mouth noises that go along with eating food that I just I struggle with. And it's when I'm trying to focus or when I'm trying to do something that that that just it's such a distraction that it it's aggravating. It it I feel agitated. Like, I don't like, what is happening?
Why is this crunchy noise out there? And so crunchy foods right next to me. I was trying to show you something, on the phone or whatever, and you're right next to me, and you went and then you said, that one was loud. That one, I admit, was loud. That's what happened.
And then you walked over to the corner of the room near the window, and you were like, I'll just stand over here in the corner. Peas in the corner? My peas. They're peas. They can't be that noisy.
Your snap peas were snap, pin when you were biting them. They were real loud. It's not even just peas, though. You Yeah. Get mad when I swallow.
I don't get mad. I'm not like, quit swallowing. No. I don't get mad. I take a drink and you're like I laugh.
So loud. I go I go I go, boy, did you get enough? Boy. Boy. Because it goes, whoop, like Goofy.
You sound like Goofy having a drink. Whoop. That's all. I you have just given me such a complex. I can't even eat in front of people.
Oh, I I apologize at my other job constantly. I'm like, I'm sorry. I I didn't realize this was gonna be so loud. And the people that I work with there go, I didn't even notice. Right.
Because they don't have me so long. Yeah. Correct. They're not me, and you're not their world. Stop.
You got it once. You don't get it again. I let you slide by that once. When you go out with other people Yeah. Do you complain about them?
Their noises If I'm eating and other people are eating, it's fine. That's it's what I'm saying. It's like when I'm when I'm trying to focus or if I'm in the middle of something and it's a complete distraction from that. If I'm if I'm also eating if I'm at a place where it's like, yeah, food is supposed to be here. Okay.
Cool. Not a big deal. Unless it's, like, a lot. Like, if it's a lot a lot, like, somebody slurping on a pizza Slurping pizza. You know what I'm talking about.
No guy, when he eats his pizza, he goes while he takes a bite of pizza. I don't know why he does that. That's a weird thing. It's not watermelon. What are you doing, dude?
That does happen. And I'm I don't know why he makes that noise while he's trying to take bites of pizza. It's like I gotta slurp all the sauce off as I'm eating it. I think your least favorite things to hear people eat are cereal. If our kids are eating cereal, you don't like that?
Well, again, that's because they're not eating it at cereal time. No. I'll be, again, I'll be working on something, and here comes a clangy bowl of crunch. And slurp. Clang and crunch.
Slurp. And then you don't like chips. If I eat chips, that's you go you lose your mind Nah. If I'm eating chips. Yeah.
Nah. Yes. I don't like apples. Oh, yeah. Like an apple.
Like, if you're just gonna just chow down on an apple, like, I like, go away. Go somewhere. Carrots, snap peas, that's a new one. What else? Anything crunchy.
Anything really. Ice. People that chew on ice Oh, yeah. That is out of my way. Stop.
Go take an iron pill. You got a problem. You do have a problem, probably. If you're chomping on ice Yeah. You really should get a iron pill.
Something. You're missing you're iron deficient. Go take an iron pill. My mom is probably the worst. Dude.
And she has an iron deficiency, and she deficiency, and she takes iron pills. And she's still like, I just like ice. I just like Toma on this ice. Like sugar, ice cream, and then chalk with ice cream. Flicking around in there.
And Oh, it's And then like, it isn't one bite like a. It's a like, what are you doing? Go chew your ice on your own time. This is my own time. Guess what I brought today?
More snap peas. Yeah. Because I Let's go. Huge bag of them. Good.
Because they're delicious. I don't disagree. That's why we're growing some in our garden. Do you want some No. To eat with me?
No. I do not. And then you won't be able to stop by mine. Eat the outside. I open them up, and I eat the peas out, and I throw the other part away.
I don't like the outside. Why? It's a lot of work to just eat the inside. I just like the insides. If it's cooked, do you eat the outside too?
Yeah. Like, in an Asian dish? Uh-huh. Yeah. That's fine.
I like peas. You don't you don't eat apple skin either. No. I don't like the apple skin. Like potato skin?
I don't like oranges because of the texture inside all the fibers of the oranges, but I like orange juice. You like it? Eat an orange, I just put it in my mouth, and then all the juice comes out, and then I throw the rest of that part away. Oh my gosh. You're so weird.
Picky picky. I eat everything. Picky. That's just my preference. Eat everything Except meat.
Ugh. Right. Picky picky. You've known me for a while. For a while, I'd say.
You know that, I like to take care of my things. Yes. Right? Yes. I like to I like to have things sort of, I I'm trying to figure out how to even get into this.
I I'm scrolling through, like, headlines on my phone looking at different things that we can talk about or whatever. Yeah. And, there's a review for the new, 28 inch Blackstone griddle with the air fryer built in combo. It's a combo. Snap.
Yeah. Right? So air fryer built into it? Yeah. And they've done that before.
They've had them built in below so that you could, like, air fry Tater tots? Yeah. Tater tots or fries or, you know, anything, right, while you're, while you're grilling. Yeah. That's top.
Great. The picture that I showed you Yeah. And and I'll show you this picture as well. Have you seen my Blackstone? Yeah.
What's it look like? It's very clean. You take very good care of your Blackstone. Why is it called a Blackstone? Because it's supposed to be black.
Look at this. Ew. This is it without the burgers and stuff on it. It's the worst seasoned Blackstone I've ever seen in my life. It's like they took it out of the box and just started cooking on it.
It's awful. And in an article specifically about how great the grill is, They didn't even use it right. Even use the correct looking grill. Like, they just You my favorite part is when you see like, if we go to somebody's house and they're making us they're grilling something for us, you go Oh, I'm a I'm a big grill judge. Yeah.
I don't think I could eat off of that. Yeah. You do get a little bit grilled judgy. You got you had grease on your slats and then the dog hair stuck to it. That's let's not cook on that.
Anyway, this this is awful. I, like, I worked with cast iron. I worked with Dutch ovens. I worked with Blackstones. You gotta season it.
This is not it. This is awful. Yeah. That looks gross. If mine looked like this, take it away from me.
I wouldn't eat off of that. Well, it's just not even like, I did they wash it? Did they wash off the stuff they put on it when they ship it? Or did they literally put it together, fire it up for this photo op? I think you kinda love you we had some blacks.
I don't know if there were black stones, but you got some grills from that were donated to the scat troop from a place that had used them. Are you just talking about the skillets? No. They were they were big camping things. I don't know what they were.
Go on with the story, and then we'll see if I can help you out. Oh, they were just kinda dirty because they had been used so much. Yeah. And you take painstakingly good time to take care of them. You clean them up.
Bring them back. Yeah. They looked really, really nice. Like, I've got my my big three foot griddle that was, that was from a a scout camp. That thing's been used hundreds of ton like, tons and tons and tons.
That thing's been cooked on. Yeah. It looks brand new. I know. Because you take really good care of it.
The bag has seen better days. For my stove? Yeah. Yeah. The bag that they make for those stoves is a little bit rough.
It it's not it's not right. They need to reinstall it. From camp so much time. Still all the time. You take the inside of it looks very nice.
You do take very good care of yourself. So disappointed by this person's article. Like, I feel like I like, are there comments? Like, has has anybody said anything? I don't know.
No. I feel like other people need to see this. It's so awful. I'm not trying to drag this person down, but this is bad. It's really bad.
Maybe they just don't know how to do it correctly. Maybe they need a lesson. Bajillion YouTube videos about how to season it. There's a bajillion YouTube lessons about so many things in life. Hey.
You're gonna make some burgers I know. On our not our Blackstone. Yeah. But It's my little Blackstone. Oh.
Yeah. Yes. I have two. Because, you know, you gotta have the travel one. I can't even wait.
Yeah. I love your hamburgers. They are the best. I don't even care what anybody else has. If you have had one of Josh's smash burgers, you're missing out.
Well What? Better than better than think of the best burger you've ever had at a restaurant. Think it's the best best burger? I do. That's very kind of you.
And that's saying a lot because I don't like to eat meat. But you really like the smashed burger. Like your smashed burger. That's very nice. That's high praise.
It is high praise. And I put it on the menu Specifically, she want me to cook it. And you go, I don't think I'm gonna. I didn't wanna make that. And I said, oh, no.
You gotta make that. You're gonna make that. You're gonna make that. I'll be making that. Yes.
And we'll be happy. On your clean grill. On your grill. Well seasoned, very nice, well kept silicone cover. I did the whole thing.
You keep it nice. Yeah. You have to. You know? Oh, I do.
It's been, let me go back. Let me restart. Alright. Know how We'll just, erase that, I guess, from from live radio. Yeah.
Okay. Alright. Go ahead. We'll edit it out. You know how there's that saying that's like, you never see your neighbors bringing home groceries?
Sure. And you never do. I'm thinking about the last time I ever saw my neighbors bringing home groceries. K. But you feel like the neighbors probably see us bring home groceries all the time?
I don't think that. I think that it's been a very busy couple of weeks Okay. As May is for everyone. Sure. And I have not had a chance to even get to the grocery store.
I have some time tonight, so that's my plan tonight to go to the grocery store. And I know there's grocery store pickups, and that makes it easier, but I don't do that. I'd like to pick my own food. No shame in people who do use that. I just like to go get my own food.
Anyway, point is, we don't have a lot of groceries in our house, and it's been too busy to go to the grocery store. Right. And it's been like a you come home from work, you're grab your stuff, you're on to the next thing K. For the rest of the night. Yeah.
So we've been the last couple weeks, been eating out for dinner more than I would like to admit. Right. And I feel like whenever we have food and we come home and we've got food bags Yeah. I feel like the neighbors are just judging. Saying.
They they're not. They don't see you. Yeah. They don't hey. They aren't you.
They're looking out the window going They aren't you. Those guys are eating out again? Nope. Again? They're not you.
I don't do that. I don't watch my neighbors going, oh my gosh. You don't project your own behavior out to the world on other people assuming they do the same thing to you? You don't do that? No.
Mhmm. No. Never. Never. Never.
Weird. Because I feel like that's, that's not a never. Okay. Sometimes. Okay.
Alright. So I think what you're saying is that you're worried that because you feel like you would do that, if you saw somebody bringing home food all the time. You would you would go, like, again? So but also none of anybody else's business. And nobody really cares.
Right? That's what I'm saying. But, every time we come home, the last couple of days, I'm like, everybody hide your food when you carry it inside. Hide it. They're gonna think I'm a bad mom.
Does that woman ever cook dinner? No. The answer is no. I haven't. For the past couple of weeks, I have not cooked dinner.
There. I said it. No one was judging you. Judge me all you want. Has the family had food?
Yeah. Great. Yeah. They have. K.
What's the issue? I don't know what the issue is. You're saying I'm inventing an issue? Yep. Okay.
That's what I'm saying. I'm saying it doesn't have to be crazy. Alright. So it's gonna be okay. Okay.
So I'm going to the store today, neighbors. So Alright. Rest assured Good. Thanks for the warning. They're like, yeah.
Thank you for letting us know. Now I'm a watch and see what's in your bags. Right. Actually Oh, here we go. Actually, what?
The neighbors next door left to go camping. I watched them pack up their trailer and skedaddle away. Did you judge everything they put in the trailer? No. I didn't actually watch watch watch.
I just saw them drive away. Okay. And you went, see you. Bye. So now nobody's watching.
Now they're not gonna be watching movies from home. They're the ones that would be watching, not people, like, across the street with a better vantage point? I actually don't think anybody's watching. But No one is. I'm constantly like, oh.
What would they think? Who cares? That's what I'm saying. Look at that bad mother. Yeah.
Sure. Okay. Yesterday, I go home. It was around lunchtime. I go home.
I go, oh, I forgot. We covered our plants overnight frost. The frost. Yeah. They need to see some sunshine.
Right. And I've left those on. So I ran home, taken all the covers off of all the plants. I'm in the backyard. I tied the dog up outside, floating along, doing my thing, and a black thing jumps out of the window well in my backyard, and I make this noise.
Now if you were here That's a weird noise to make. Now what noise did you make? Hold on. If you were here I don't know when we talked about it. When I got scared on my walk, I think Tuesday, I talked about it.
And the man scared me on my walk, and I went, woah. Right. This noise, I can't even know I don't even know if I can recreate it. It surprised me so much, this black thing jumping out of the window well. I go, Yeah.
And then I did another run-in place, and then the dog freaks out. Went crazy. Went absolutely berserk. Right. That dog we had to sign a waiver when we rescued that dog that you did not have any cats.
Yeah. We don't have any cats. No. That cat is not our cat. Nope.
I don't know whose cat that is. That cat is the bane of my existence. Yeah. That cat likes to live in my window well. That cat hangs out in the backyard, and I don't like it.
Do you wanna know why he's in the window well? Why? Because he's hiding because it's near the bird feeder. I don't like that. Me neither.
Remember I told you that the bird feeder fell off of the window? Yeah. That cat. The cat jumped up and grabbed it. I guarantee it.
Remember that I told you that the bleeding hearts that are by that window well are destroyed, and I think they're ruined? It could be because the cat's hanging out in there. Whose cat is that the log to? I I don't know. I don't like the cat.
I don't want the cat in the yard. I don't know how to keep that cat out of the yard. I've tried a number of things. We have a dog, but the cat knows that the dog's on a lead. Yeah.
So the cat's like, I can go over here. Dog can't get me. I don't know where that cat comes from. That cat either. All last year and again this year is driving me crazy.
Hey, cat neighbors. Whoever whoever has that black cat We're mad at you. Get your cat. Keep your cat in your own yard Yeah. Somehow.
I don't know what you gotta do. Hey, neighbors. The cat's making me crazy. I didn't think much of the cat until now when I now I know that he's probably the reason my bleeding hearts are dying. He's probably It's possible.
He's probably musking it up all over. He probably is. Why I gotta I know. He musks over by the clematis, which I hate because every time I water, I get that wonderful aroma. I hate it so much.
In my craft room window well. Because he's hiding, waiting for birds to land so that he can pop out and try and grab a bird. I don't like that. I know. Leave my birds alone.
Who I don't I don't want harm to come to the cat. I want the cat to go away. Yeah. I don't want harm to come to my birds that come to visit. Correct.
You don't even need those birds. I'm sure you get a nice, healthy, delicious Who knows? Fancy feast. Maybe. I don't know where that cat comes from.
I'm I'm not friendly with that cat. I don't like that cat. You weren't friendly with the kitten that we had visit the other day too. It wasn't a kitten. Wow.
It was a younger cat, the smaller breed. I wasn't friendly with it because I don't want it to think that it can hang out in my yard. You were friendly. It's not like you were, like, mean to that cat. Tried to shoo it away.
I said, go back to wherever you came from. Let's go. Shoo shoo. That's what I said to the cat. And the cat laid down on the grass.
We haven't seen that cat in a long time. Good news. You successfully shooed that one away. Shoe shoe. Shoe this black one away.
This this black one is way too comfortable, and I don't know where it's from, but it's gotta go. Like, do I have to cover my entire backyard in netting so that it can't then how the bird's gonna get in? The birds won't be able to get in. Or the butterflies. I know.
Like the butterflies round. Me too. What if we can do? I don't know. I don't know.
We can't let the dog, on the leash. A motion activated sprinkler system. So when anything walks in the backyard when we're not there, the sprinkler system turns on. That's what I'm gonna do. The parts will get sprinkled.
No. Like, bigger things on the on the like, I'll put it in strategic entry points. Okay. I'm gonna map out where this cat makes entry, and I'm gonna fix all that. Driving me crazy.
Scaring my wife, scaring away the birds Yeah. Driving the dog crazy, musking all over the place. This cat's gotta go. Overstage your welcome, cat. I'm not prepared.
I didn't I didn't look at the time. Okay. Well, time is now. Listen. What do you know about these free summer lunch programs?
Because I need to know the deets. You do. You do? Can I get some? Yes.
You can get some. Okay. Well, no. What's going on? What's the story?
I know that, like, every summer for the last years and years and years, school districts will offer free summer food service programs Yeah. For kids ages one through 18. So I'm excluded. Okay. Got it.
No. No. No. You're not necessarily excluded. You'll have to pay for it.
Oh. You don't get it for free. Oh, okay. Gotcha. Can participate.
Okay. Well, give me the rest of the details. I'll be quiet here. I'll listen. I'll listen.
So the Pocatello Chapel School District twenty five Yeah. Their summer food service program begins on June 9 Mhmm. And goes until August 8. They have lunch served every weekday from 11:30 to 12:30, and they have a bunch of different locations. And you can check that out.
I've looked this up on their website. So sd25.us. You can find free lunch program. Okay. And, again, meals are free for 18 years and younger.
They charge $5 for adults. This is Pocatello Ochebuk School District Twenty Five. K. And they meals must be eaten on location, and there is no service provided on July 4. Oh, gotcha.
Four oh, I got I lost this one. Did you I have the Bonneville Joint School District ninety three one. Yeah. I've got them all. Go ahead with ninety three.
So theirs is Monday through Thursday K. June 2 through June 26. And they have several locations as well, different elementary schools and different parks that they're doing this, around. This would be, for district ninety three, so that side of Idaho Falls. And they have some grab and go meals as well.
But the grab and goes, you have to sign up for ahead of time. So they have Uh-huh. That that information as well. Gotcha. And, again, adults may purchase, the meals at on-site locations only, and all food must be eaten on-site.
Parents may not eat off the child's plate as well. Oh. So that's a thing. Anyway, they're doing that as well. Okay.
And then I've got district ninety one. They begin on June 4 at, Longfellow Elementary and then June 9 at Cape Curley. Okay. And they at Longfellow Elementary serve breakfast and lunch Monday through Friday. Breakfast is served from eight to 08:30, and lunch is served from twelve to 12:30.
Yeah. At Kate Curley, they don't have breakfast provided there. Just They have lunch, and lunch is served from eleven to 12:30. So listen. Obviously, food insecurity is a big deal, and that's why this program exists.
So, if you are in need, or if it's something you happen to be, you know, with the kids at the park or something and it's something that you wanna participate in, it is happening. So, definitely get that information so that you can, be fed. And I'm sure there's stuff going on in other communities as well. That was Pocatello and Idaho Falls. I'm sure there's stuff going on in the rest of East Idaho as well, so research those up.
Yeah. I just Googled free lunch program, and I looked up Pocatello, and I looked up Idaho Falls. There you go. Just Google. And you can go to the school's websites too.
I'm sure they have information there. I'm sure they've sent home flyers that are gonna be, in backpacks and stuff like that too. But, a a great program to take advantage of. Yeah. We took it I I would take the kids all the time to these And Catello.
Yeah. It's easy. You don't have to worry about cleanup. Yeah. You don't have to worry about cooking.
When your kids start to bother you during summer, like, what's for lunch? Let's go to the park. Let's go. Run out some energy. Let's get out of here.
Let's go get some lunch. Yep. It's fantastic program. Yeah. Very good.
Advantage. Yep. Do it. And, again, just search up the information. It's everywhere.
Oh, crap. What? Josh, you guys stall What do I have to do? I got it right here. I sometimes I pull up things I wanna talk about, and then I accidentally, like, swipe them away.
Are you talking about all the new rides at Lagoon? Yeah. Have you heard about that? Well, so I've seen the time, what's the the time one? I showed you and the kids that one.
It's it's not time tinker. Time tinker. Time tinker. Yeah. I saw that ride, and that one looks really cool because it spins in such a really interesting way.
Yeah. It's described as a family thrill ride that brings high flying excitement and mesmerizing motion. Yeah. And it looked like parts of Pioneer Village had been kind of renovated. Is that correct?
Yep. They are it's a new family area that they're calling the district. Right. And it's kind of steampunk theme. Steampunk theme area where world inventors are revered.
Revered. Revered. Yeah. And their creations come alive with the of grinding gears and the hiss of steam. I think that's cool.
So did they take out the log flume? I don't know. Because I had heard rumor that they were taking out the log flume ride to put in some of this stuff. That makes me so sad. That log flume ride was my favorite.
We put our son on that log flume ride. You're so mean. We're not mean. We wanted him to have an adventure. So we put him on the ride, and he was like, I don't wanna get wet.
And we're like, you're not gonna get wet in the log flume. The dude was soaked. Yeah. I know. You're off directions.
I didn't know he was gonna get as wet as he did end up getting. So in the new steampunk area, the district, they have the three new family oriented rides, and there's also a new saloon style place called the Snake Bite Saloon. Okay. And do they still have the the cool shooting range thing? I don't know.
Alright. Well Also, the second ride is called Steamworks. Oh, okay. And it's a topspin ride with no inversions. There's eight seats on each side back to back K.
Which will be suspended in the air by two motor driven arms. Riders will be swept through a mix of sensations, brought to breathtaking heights and thrilling lows while staying complete completely upright. Then they have a children's helicopter ride called rivets and rotors. Alright. So those are the three new rides in the steampunk town.
Called? The District. The District. Okay. Alright.
They are always doing new stuff. I know they are. I mean, they open that new roller coaster, and I still have we haven't been there in years. But they open that, roller coaster that has, like, a VR type thing to it. Oh.
So it's a different kind of ride experience. Oh, I haven't seen that one. Yeah. We haven't been on that. I know.
But that's the one they that we were building the last time we were there, and it was just the concrete mountain. We used to go, every year. Yeah. I know. And the last couple of years, just because the prices got just so outrageous, we haven't gone in a really long time.
True story. Every time summer comes up, you better believe Emery lets us know how long it's been since it's been there. Lagoon. It's been a Lagoon in years. I don't even know what it looks like.
I haven't been in a roller coaster forever. I remember being a little kid at Lagoon, and the the the little kid roller coaster, the little dragon, you couldn't get me off that thing. I got off. I go get back in line. I got something like that, and I get off, though, get back in line.
And I just that was it. I did that all day. Could've ridden that thing all day. That's cute. Here it goes.
Yes. Back in line. I liked the white roller coaster. That's always been my favorite. Yeah.
That's a good one. Old thing. It is a rickety old thing, but I like it. Lately, though, my neck goes, ah. Yeah.
That's that's the old people thing. Now we're like supposed to Oh, no. Move like that. Yeah. How many Dramamine can I take?
And still stay awake? Yeah. Yeah. Anyway, cool. Right on.
