Full show transcript:
It should come as no surprise to anyone that Wicked For Good has become Fandango's biggest first day ticket presale of the year. Oh yeah, absolutely. People have pre-bought tickets more for this show than any other show this year. Um, okay.
I was looking at the date. I think it comes out on November 20th, right? So we've got a little over a month to go.
It will open the weekend before Thanksgiving.
I put it on my calendar. Let me look. Yeah, I think you're right. 21st, November 21st.
Yeah, which means it'll probably premiere in theaters the night before on the 20th. Are we gonna go? Well, we want to go see it on the huge screen, right?
On the I-MACs, yeah. Didn't you tell me they were running the original movie as well in a lot of places? There's some theaters that are doing that. They're doing the first one. And then I don't know how it works if they're gonna have like a break. Because the first one's three hours long. I don't know how long the second one is, but that's a long time to sit and watch.
So apparently on Fandango, if you buy a ticket to Wicked for Good, you can get a ticket to Wicked for just nine bucks on Fandango at home. So you can watch it at home for just nine bucks and then go watch it in the theater. But if you don't have another way to watch it, I guess. I don't know. Interesting. Interesting. This movie's gonna be the biggest movie of the year.
Oh, for sure. It has to be, right? What other movies have come out? Well, the first half had the best opening ever for a feature take on a Broadway musical. It opened with 112.5 million. It also became the highest grossing big screen version with 473.2 million domestic and 756 million worldwide. So that thing made over a billion dollars. That's insane.
That's insane indeed. That's incredible. So yeah, it's gonna be huge. I'm pretty stoked. I'm super stoked. So Wicked for Good now ranks among the top 10 best all-time ticket pre-sellers. Guess what some of the other movies are?
Jurassic Park. That might be low. That's yeah, it's not that bad. Okay, probably any of the Avengers.
Endgame and Spider-Man No Way Home are both on the list.
Star Wars.
Star Wars Force Awakens, yes.
And what else? It's huge. Frozen. Avatar. No. A Hoth.
Avatar's not on the list. Frozen. Lion King. The live action. K-pop Demon Hunter Sing-Along event is on the list.
And Taylor Swift's Eris Tour Live video thing that she did is on the list. And now Wicked for Good is on there. The first Wicked is not. Wicked for Good is.
I think probably because people were like, I don't know. Is this gonna be good? I think people were a little hesitant. And then they went and they saw it and they went, oh, this is good.
For people that had never seen it on Broadway, you've seen it on Broadway twice. I got to see it on Broadway a couple of years ago with you and the kids. I was so blown away.
But like when it cuts to intermission, same point as the two movies, I just sat there like mouth open going like, what just happened? Yeah, it's pretty great. Like it's unreal.
It's pretty good. And they did, the movie did it good.
Yeah, I agree. They did it real good. I agree. So Wicked for Good anyway, gonna be a big deal, big, huge, big, big deal. Good, pretty woman.
Pretty woman reference. I know. I like it. Thanks. Okay. Okay, that's a lot of talking about Wicked. Let's have a break and start the show.
Sounds Wicked good. You have exactly one job today.
What is it?
Well, you have two because there's two parts. First, you have to meet with HR. No, I don't want to. Because we need to get clarification on boundaries before we can actually fulfill the challenge.
I'm in. I'm sold. Whatever it is, I'm already in.
Because you have to get HR approval first? Yeah.
So then you're like, yeah. Nobody wants to talk to HR, but if it involves tipping over some boundaries a bit, I'm in. It's hug of Kevin Day.
Let's go. Oh, Rando Day.
I know. I know. It's super weird. Super weird. But if you know a Kevin, give him a hug.
I do know a Kevin.
I know. But we might have to get some
clarification on work boundaries before we give Kevin a hug. He signs my page. Right.
So it's important to know where the line is on whether or not you can hug a Kevin.
Okay. Are you going to participate in the hug of Kevin?
If we find out the boundaries and we're okay, I'll hug a Kevin.
All right. I'm still kind of mad at Kevin though, because he stole my quarterback in our fantasy football league. And I think he did it just to be spicy.
Spicy? Yeah. He was like, watch this. Yeah. Yeah. I get it. Hey, listen.
Maybe I'll just let Baidon be Baidon. Turn off events through the season. It hasn't really paid out for him. No, it hasn't. So you're pretty much in a better place because of it.
I get it. I do. That doesn't change the fact that he was just being spicy. He was like, I'm going to take this guy because he knew. I know he knew. Hug a Kevin day.
He knew because a peach got involved. Yeah. And you said something to make a peach angry. And so a peach wrote it on a whiteboard. And then Kevin said, well, that'll be fun.
I guess it is my fault.
Throw some gasoline in this fire.
I really did start the fight. Hey, is there like a hug a Josh day or hug a Chantel day?
Let's look. Or what I've never heard of any other hug a person day.
There's Josh day, which is on May 8.
Not hug a Josh.
No, it's just Josh day. And that's the day where they had everybody got together and had that Josh fight. Oh, yeah. Yeah. That's on May 8. Let's see. Is there anything for a Chantel day? There's no wildly recognized holiday called hug a Chantel day.
That's fine. I don't want a bunch of hugs from people. Is there a Chantel day at all? There should be every day a Chantel day.
Well, there's a woman named Chantel day. And that's all that comes up when you Google it. So that doesn't help at all either. Anyway, if you could just figure out what we need to do to make that all copacetic, we could hug a Kevin on hug a Kevin day.
Maybe you hug like you side arm him on one side, all side arm him on the other. We'll do like a...
It's a morning show hug. Yeah. I see. I get where your head's at. Yeah.
From the Tileers. Yeah. A hug to Kevin from the Tileers. Hey, bud. Okay. I had a dream last night. You did? Yeah. And I know that people don't typically like to hear about dreams, but this is my complaint.
Okay. It was a work dream. And in this work dream, I was doing my basic work job. Okay. I was going through every motion of doing my job at work. And when I woke up, I went, why?
Yeah. Why? Because doing the job all day isn't enough. You also have to dream about doing your job so that you just feel rested. I know.
I know. I woke up going, hey, I'm cheated. I'm cheated out of a good dream.
Well, you're also cheated out of no dream and just escaped from work. Exactly. You're just stuck in work mode the whole time.
Exactly. Man. And here's the thing. I don't mind dreaming about work if it's got something to do with not work. If it was about like a coworker doing something silly or literally anything else, but it was a person coming in asking for the thing that I have, me finding it and being like, there you go. Have a good day. Stop it.
That's a boring dream too. Hi. Yep. Let me put you through. I know. Transfer phone call, hang up. Oh, hey.
Dumb, right? I know. So now I'm mad because...
You know, there are people that put on VR headsets and pretend to work. Yeah, I know. For fun. They pay money for a game so they can pretend to be a robot doing a job.
For free. I know. They do a job for free. Well, they pay. That's true. They do pay.
That's what I'm saying. They pay to buy the game so they can sit in VR and pretend to work. That's dumb. Oh, I'm an auto mechanic today. Oh, today I'm checking out groceries.
Okay. Here's what I think. Now I'm a doctor. I would actually like to shadow some of those people and actually see... Yeah. Excuse me, what their job entails because I think that's fascinating to see different jobs. I'm not going to put on a work simulator because that's not an accurate representation. I don't think. Okay.
What do you think? I've seen them play the games. They're working on an engine. Looks like they're doing what a mechanic does. They have tools. You have to pick up and turn wrenches and then put them down. It's the same. Yeah, but... The difference is in the end, you just take the thing off and then you walk away with clean hands.
That's the difference. It's not the same. In real mechanics, you walk away with hopefully a happy customer with a functioning vehicle and dirty hands. A real mechanic to play a work simulator or mechanic and tell me, no, that's not an accurate representation or, yeah, it's pretty spot on. Give me your review mechanic. Or anyone. What other jobs do they have on work simulator?
Job simulator. I don't know. There's a hot dog. There's a doughnut. What? Yeah.
What? I don't understand.
In a world where robots have replaced all human jobs, you step into job simulator to learn what it's like to job.
Why did you say there's a hot dog and a doughnut?
Because in these pictures, the robots, this guy's in an office. So he's literally sitting in a cubicle, but he's throwing things at his boss. And then he has to, here's the mechanic one. This guy's making toast. This guy's making hot dogs. This guy's a mechanic, changing oil. That guy's cooking. So there you go. There's all those things.
I'm still claiming it's not an authentic representation.
I mean, he had to open the garage door for the car to pull in.
Is that not authentic? Wow. No, it's not.
That guy's working at a gas station.
It's pretty accurate. I don't think it is. It looks real to me. The point is, I'm making a claim that I have to go back to bed.
Because you've already been at work. Yeah. I see. I agree with you. I follow what you're saying.
And I didn't even get paid for it. In my dream, I didn't even get paid to do the job.
Yeah, that's lame. It was totally lame. You should ask if you can count that as overtime. I should. Check with HR. Two things you got to check with HR today. If I dream about work, can I count that? Because I'm tired.
Yeah. I've been working all night. I sold some inventory. Right. I've been working all night. So. Yeah.
What's weird is, do you remember the name of the people?
I remember the first name of the person.
You should look them up in your system and see if they bought tickets.
Oh my gosh. That would be so weird. Wouldn't it?
Yeah. Wouldn't that be strange?
That would be so creepy.
What if you actually were working all night? What? Okay. Here you go. Some good news today. Let's hear it. October is fire prevention month. Oh. And a fire department in Ohio teamed up yesterday with Domino's pizza location to make sure local homeowners are properly protected. This is the Shawnee Township Fire Department in Ohio under the persuasive power of pizza.
They are encouraging residents to make sure they have working smoke alarms in their homes. I'll get through these words one at a time. You will. He got this. Anybody who ordered from Domino's between 5 and 7 p.m. were randomly selected to have their pizza delivered by a fire engine.
And then if firefighters determined the homeowner's smoke alarms were in good working condition, they'd get their pizza for free. Oh. Yeah. That's awesome. This is awesome. Yeah. If smoke alarms were not properly working, firefighters either replaced the batteries or installed brand new smoke alarms on the spot. They also offered tips on how to safely buy, charge, and recycle lithium ion batteries. So, you know. That's so fun. Yeah. Little fire prevention month fun happening in Ohio.
What they would have said about our house if we ordered some pizza. Yeah. Do we have working fire alarms?
We have working fire alarm.
I think we probably need more than one.
We probably need to get one downstairs. Yeah. And I think we've said that since we moved into the house 13 years ago. Oh, no. So that's important.
Our firefighter friends would be so disappointed in us.
Yeah. I mean, we have the working stuff upstairs.
Is it working though? Sure thing. When was the last time you replaced the battery? Mm-hmm. Josh, we got to do better. Okay. I'm writing it down. I'm going to work on it. I'll put it in the calendar.
Yeah. I'm going to work on it this weekend. I'm going to get a fire alarm in the basement. And I'm also going to check the battery in the one upstairs. So, look at me. And also, do we have a fire hose? What's it called? A fire. What's it? No one tell her. What's it called? What? The thing.
Explain what you're talking about. A fire hose that hooks to the truck and runs in and then they hold it while they... Extinguisher. There it is. Holy moly. See, we're working through words one at a time. Do we have... I like that there's one right outside the door here and you looked at it and went, what are you called?
What are you? We don't even have one of those. No. We would get an F if the firefighters came. An F for fire. For you're fired? Yeah. They would come in and be like, battery's dead, no fire alarm in the basement, and no fire extinguisher. You guys have to bait for everyone's pizza. No.
That's what they would say. That's not good. Well, then we got to do better. You're right. And we'll update you on the progress of that on Monday. This has been good news. Anything else you want to add? No, I'm good. Okay, super. Last night was the first game of this week's football. Did you have anybody playing last night?
You had no one playing? No. Why would I ever have a Giants fan on my... Or a Giants player on my team? Or an Eagle. Or an Eagle. Ew. I did want to take... Ew. I did want... I did want to take Kwan, but somebody took him.
So I'm a little frustrated this morning.
Oh, Lordy. I know, I know. You say I get all crazy. You do. I had two players play last night for a total of 22 points, which is not super strong. Both of them wide receivers, one with 14 points and one with eight points. And I feel like I needed better scores in order to win in this family league. I'm playing against a guy who's undefeated. He's 5-0. Guess what? It doesn't really matter.
Why do you say that?
Because you take it too seriously. You really do.
I'm playing against Beck in the work league this week. He set his roster. He was very excited because he hasn't.
No, he hasn't played at all. A couple of weeks because he's like, No, it's just fantasy. He played the Eagles defense and he got zero points. Oh, no. They just pulled in zero. What happened to the Eagles?
They did not win last night. I don't know if you saw. I did. The score was not in their favor.
If you've been around here for a while, you know that I'm a Vikings fan. Right. But I'm also a Ravens fan. But I'm also a Dolphins fan.
And also a Lions fan.
And a Lions fan.
Yeah. But you're really a fan of stories, I think.
I think so too. I'd like to hear stories about some of the players and then I go, What team does that player play for? I like that team now. And that just so happens with the player on the Colts. And I really love the Colts mascot.
Blue. Yeah.
Yeah, blue is the best. He's the best mascot in the entire league. Prove me otherwise. He's fantastic. But there is a player on the Colts named Quentin Nelson. He is a, what position does he play? I don't know. He, okay. I said, I told Beck that he tackles people. Beck said he doesn't tackle people. He makes sure that the quarterback doesn't get sacked.
Oh, so he's like an offensive line, man.
Okay. I can't run. Listen, I've been watching football. I don't remember what all the plays do. Okay, that's fine. The positions are too hard.
You don't have to. You're there for the stories. Yes, too much. Right. I'm here for the stories. You're not there for the play calling all that. No. You're there for the stories.
But I saw a video. You know how they mic up the players sometimes? There was a video every time he tackled somebody, he doesn't tackle, sorry. He blocks. He blocks. Yeah. Every time he blocks somebody and like tramples them, he's like, oh, sorry about that.
Oh, sorry. And then he's like, okay. And then I'll help him up. He's the nicest player. What's his name? His name is Quentin Nelson. Okay. He's so nice. Every time he was like, oh, sorry, bud.
Yeah, he's a guard. He looks like a nice guy.
He is. He'll shove them down and then I'll be like, ah, I'm just doing my job, buddy. See you okay?
That's funny. I'm gonna have to watch some of these. It's Quentin Nelson, the most polite player in the NFL. That is funny.
I think he is. I'm gonna have to watch this clip.
All right. The ultimate hype man. Oh, and. Quentin Nelson.
And so I like the Colts now because I like this player and I also like the mascot. But also there was a cheerleader for the Colts who they were doing like the fans meet the people and there was a little boy in a wheelchair who was also hearing impaired. And there was a cheerleader that was like, I can talk to you.
And she was speaking him in sign language. Oh, that's awesome. And that was super cool. And I like stories like that. And so now. You're here for the stories. Now I'm here for the Colts. Mostly just Quentin Nelson because look at him. He's so cute. I want to be his friend.
I'm sure he'd be happy to have you as a friend. He'd be like, hey, what's up buddy? Hey bud. Good to see you. Anyway, I guess I'll keep you posted how my scores go.
I'll let you know every minute of the day on Sunday. I'll go, hey, it's not looking great. Or maybe I'll be like, woohoo.
Please do. You won't even need to tell us. Your mood will be affected by it. No. Yeah.
No, that's not a thing.
You're right. Everything's going to be fine. When I asked to borrow your drill, were you a little bit nervous about what I was going to be working on?
No, because I know you are capable. I was more excited that you were going to give it a go.
I did give it a go.
You were trying to install a door stop. And you needed to drill some new holes in the door for where the door stop was going to go. So having been involved in that project previously, I figured I knew exactly what you needed. So I threw a drill bit in the drill.
I handed it to you and I went, good luck. And then you sent me a text and some videos and you were like, I can't get this to work. And I didn't realize you were drilling through metal because everything I had done was through wood. And I sent you with a wood bit.
So I was failed. Already you were like... Set up to fail. Well, you didn't give me all the real important information. No, I'm not saying you did that intentionally. Right. Because I would have given you a different drill bit if I knew you had to go through metal and wood. Here's the thing. I really did try. Yeah.
And you can make the wood bit work. It just doesn't have the gripping power. And so if you can lubricate it so it doesn't overheat, you can get through some stuff.
I also did that. Yeah. I also watched some YouTube videos before I texted you and said, I can't get this to work. So you... I know you think that I'm like, a give up.
I'm just going to call Josh. I didn't say that. But I was like, I don't know what I'm doing wrong. Let me watch a video. And I watched a video and I was like, I'm doing the things right. I don't know what I'm doing wrong. And then I said, help...
What did you search on YouTube? I said... How to drill a hole?
Installing a doorstop. Oh. Okay. So then here's what happens next. Then I go, there's no way I'm going to get to drill a new hole. There's no way. And so then I go, I'm sure I can probably make these previous holes work. Because that door has lots of holes from multiple doors. It does.
It looks like Swiss cheese.
It's got a lot of holes in it. I go, surely I can make some of these work. I fiddled with it. And then I was like, no, these holes are not going to work. Turns out doorstop was upside down. And I went, oh, let me turn it right side. Stop looking at me like that. Let me turn it right side up. Oh, I can make some of these holes work.
Hold on. Did you attach it upside down? Tell me you attached it. I did not. Because it would be very funny if you had it upside down and you put in the screws and then you went to fold it down to open the door and it just stuck out.
No, because in order to do it upside down, I would have had to drill new holes. I see. And that's why I was like, I can't make any of these holes work. I have to drill new holes. I see.
So you flipped it right side up, found a couple of holes.
Oh, yeah. All right, super. Great. And you put in the screws. I don't have to drill new holes at all. Yeah. Put in the holes and it's too short. I couldn't get the bottom to lay
flat on the floor. And that's why I said you can adjust the rubber foot.
Could it. I couldn't get that thing to move. So then I very frustratingly walk back to my desk and tell my office full of women. I go, listen, I think I'm an independent woman until I don't want to be. I don't want to have to. No, I don't want to be. I don't want to do this. I'm annoyed. I'm frustrated. I can't.
This should be an easy project. Sometimes there's dudes that wander around my work. And I went and I found one and I said, hey.
Hey dude. I know that you are involved in a very big project, but do you want to break from that for a minute to come help me with the door stop? And he was like, yeah, what do you need? I take him over there. He's like, oh, that'll take me two minutes. And he goes, bing, bop, boom, done. And I went, get out of here.
Did he have to use the drill? Nope. He used the existing holes and adjusted the foot. Yep. That's all it took. Yeah.
Well, and then he goes, I go, here's what I've done. And he goes, oh, you just put it up too high. And I went, I know, I know what I did.
Just fix it. And he did. And I went, cool. I've only been sitting here for 45 minutes. It's cool. You're going to be okay. I know I'm going to be okay.
I'm just, I mean, I'm glad you tried and you did everything you could, including putting it on upside down just to see if it would work. And that was, you know, creative problem solving, but it wasn't the right way. That's fine. That's hilarious.
I just needed to try, I suppose. Yeah.
But you did, you did like all the right steps.
Yeah. Yeah. Guess what? What? Door stops fixed. It's on. It's working. Bing bop boom.
I went to see my primary care physician yesterday. Right. Your GP. Shout out to my GP. What up? Good job going to the doctor. Thank you. I try to go once a year for my wellness checkup. Yeah. Because it's important, especially as I get older, dare I say older.
Okay. What'd you find out? What I learned was that my blood work is a plus top notch. Well, I'm proud of you. In fact, my good cholesterol, because you have good cholesterol and bad cholesterol, my good cholesterol is so good that it's like off the average charts.
I'm like above average. Can I have some of that? If I could share, I would. Because I have higher bad cholesterol, and so I have to be on a pill for that. So if you could give me some of the good stuff, and then it would combat some of my bad stuff.
I'm sorry. I was patting myself on the back. You should be. All my blood, he was like, your liver looks great. I was like, okay. Plus fit is a fiddle.
Did you tell me last night you were going to pat yourself on the back? Did you do that for real? I did that in the doctor's office. In the doctor's office? Yeah.
Good job, buddy. I said I'm going to pat myself on the back. All right. I did have one problem area, and it was high blood pressure.
Maybe you should chill out.
This is, he told me it's genetics, and it is, because my parents both have high blood pressure. And they've been taking pills for as long as I can remember.
Sorry, it might be. You can. Hipper, right? I don't know what that means.
Sorry, mom and dad. Okay. What was I going to say? What was I going with this?
I don't know. You're telling me all about your history of your health here.
So for about three years now, I've been going into the doctor, and he's been telling me, you got high blood pressure. And then last year he was like, I feel like maybe you should be monitoring it at home for about a couple of weeks. And then come back, report to me. And if it's high every time you check it, then maybe we should think about something. And I went, okay. And I did, I monitored it at home, but I didn't report back because it was high every time. And then I started to do some research about it.
Oh, that's always fun. I should probably. Nothing like googling health conditions.
I should probably go get my high blood pressure checked out.
That the exact causes of high blood pressure are unknown, but age and family history are the two biggest contributors. Age? That's interesting. How dare you?
I'm just telling you what's at the top of the list.
Age, family history, overweight or obesity, lack of physical activity, unhealthy diet, smoking or excessive alcohol consumption, all those things.
Okay. Well, I don't do those last two, but that's what I'm saying. Poor diet for sure.
Unhealthy diet, not poor diet. Unhealthy diet, lack of physical activity, overweight or obesity, family history and age. Yeah.
If you're in the high blood pressure club, can I join? Because I'm here. But other than that, fit is a fiddle.
Fit is a fiddle. Fit is a fiddle and ready for love. All right. That's from, guess what, musical. Musical? No idea. Singing in the rain. Oh, okay. Shame.
I've only seen it a couple of times.
Double shame.
It's fine. I don't need to see it a hundred times. Yeah, you do. No, I don't. It's great. Debbie's awesome. And you can stay up all night and you can make a couch tip over and you can, you know, have a good time. And you can do a voiceover on a lady who has a terrible voice. It's all there.
I get it. Good job. I understand. You do get it. I've seen it enough. You do. I just don't know every line and that's okay. It's going to be okay.
You'll be fine. Yeah. And so will I because I've got blood pressure medication. Well, good deal.
I got a fun fact.
It's a fun fact. Chantel, fun fact. Fun fact. It's a chantel, fun fact.
Because facts are fun. Because facts are fun. It's a fun fact. It's fun and it's a fact. Okay. What is it? Do you know why nachos are called nachos? No, because they're nachos. You're about to find out. Their inventor was named Ignacio.
That makes sense. Anaya. Everybody called her. Yeah. Nacho. Nacho. Because it's short for Ignacio. So.
It could be a he. I don't, I don't.
Ignacio is typically a male name. When I was in Spanish class in high school, we had to pick a name. And you did the same in German. Yeah. Astrid. Astrid was your German name. Yep. My Spanish name was Nacho. It was short for Ignacio. Hey.
Yeah. I knew this about you. So I was called Nacho in high school. You're named after Ignacio.
Nacho. Yeah, no, I chose it as Ignacio. Okay. But I thought it was funny that they abbreviate Ignacio. Nacho. And so I was Nacho in high school. Good story. People would walk down the halls and go, hey Nacho. Okay, let's get back to my fun fact. It was cool. It's fun fact.
Ignacio was the host at a Mexican restaurant called The Victory Club. One night in 1943, some U.S. Army wives came in late, but the chef had already left. So Nacho went to the kitchen to throw something together for them.
It was essentially chips with some meat and some cheese. And they loved it. They were like, this is the best thing we've ever had. And Ignacio said, we're going to put this on the menu forever. And that is how we know Nachos came to be.
That's great. I did not know that. But now I do.
I don't think a lot of people knew that.
And you want to know why I know it? Because of Fun Fact Friday. Because it was a chandel, fun fact.
Fun fact. Fun fact. I sometimes know that you love me. Sometimes, as for instance, the story that I read today, I go, Josh will never love me that much. Oh no.
Who's out here ruining this for everybody? What's this guy's name?
This is, he was an artist named Edward James. And he was a surrealist artist. But he loved his wife so much, she was a dancer named Tilly Losh. And one day she walked up their carpeted stairs. And he thought the trail of her wet footprints on the stairs, after her bath, was so beautiful that he had them woven into the carpet.
Okay. Okay. I saw a rebuttal. Okay. And the rebuttal was her absence made him so happy that he memorialized her absence.
Her absence, she was there.
No, she wasn't. She was walking. Her footprints were there. And he was so excited that he got to be reminded that she existed. Not that she was there in the present time. He didn't go, look at you. Look at you. I'm going to memorialize you. He memorialized her wet footprints in carpet. Yeah. Beautiful. The absence of her. The beauty of her absence.
Did you go searching for a rebuttal on this?
No, the rebuttal found me.
I think it's beautiful. Do you? Yeah. Or maybe a little bit weird. I'm just saying, if I came home, we have carpeted stairs. Yeah. And if I came home and you were furiously like, I guess I would be home because my feet would be wet. Yeah. And I'd walked up the stairs with wet feet. Also, how wet are her feet? Well. When she's walking up the carpeted stairs.
They were wet enough. And they probably dried off as she went up there. So there were probably only a couple of steps, but he liked it so much. She had the whole staircase done. And it's like a spiral staircase. Yeah.
But I'm saying, if I come out of the shower and I see you.
A lot of other people.
With some tools and you're sketching away carpet.
Yeah, that's not going to happen. I don't do carpet embroidery. Listen. People are noting that they're like crazy. Like who walks up the stairs like that. Like look at how they're like.
I did. I saw that too. It's she was a dancer.
That's right. Which explains the angle of the feet.
So that's, and those stairs, because it's a spiral staircase, they're tiny. The stairs are itty bitty. So you kind of have to walk at a diagonal. Also. Those feet are very long and very elegant and delicate. My feet don't look like that. There's that? There is that? Her toes, you can tell in this picture that her toes are long and luxurious.
Somebody said she walks like a duck.
If you carved out my feet, it would be like, bro, what is that?
Right, and other people are saying like, I always dry my feet. How wet were this woman's feet? That's what I'm saying. I know, they had to have been crazy wet to even make it to the stairs. Like that's how did she not slip on the other floors? I don't know.
My feet would be easy to carve because you would just have to do because my toes are so small. I mean, my pinky toe is barely existent. Okay. So you would just be like, I don't know, what would it look like?
So here's some fun news. About four years after this, they got divorced. So there's that.
So you're saying we're doing all right?
I'm just saying, this is a rich person thing to have special carpet woven on your stairs with wet feet prints. And there are other people that are like, this is so romantic and adorable and oh. And I'm over here going like, he is a crazy person.
Yeah, it feels a little weird. He's a crazy person. Every time you walk up the stairs, if you have guests there, they'll be like, somebody ruined your carpet and think of the resale value. Boy, babe. You know what I'm saying?
Yeah. The resale. Let's focus on that. These stairs look like someone walked here. Clean it up. No, that's part of it.
I've got some ideas for some Halloween costumes. Okay. This one is a crab. Actually, I'm gonna save that one for later because that's the best one. Okay. The crab is the best one? Oh yeah. There is a slinky dog.
With two people. With two people. Yeah, I've seen that one with little kids.
Okay, this is an adult one. Okay. Do you wanna be the tail or the head?
I'll be the tail. Okay. That's fine. That's fine. Does that work for you? Sure, that works for me. Okay. That's fine, that's a cute one. I mean, you gotta wear all brown and it's kind of got a suspendery situation to it. So it's not like super cute, but it's okay.
Okay, you don't like that one?
Let me try. It's not my top one.
Okay, let me give you another one. Similar idea, but it's a Brontosaurus.
Okay, so adult Brontosaurus?
Yeah. So one person is the head, one person is the rear.
I don't see that one. Oh. Oh, there it is. Two person Bronti Brontosaurus costume. That's awful. That's really bad. That's real bad. Have you seen the other Brontosaurus ones?
I love that one because it's so bad. It's really bad. It's so bad. It's horrible. And it's only $100.
Yeah, I see that only.
Okay, the best one. I mean, the rest of these are like, oh, look it, we're a, I don't know, a pirate and a parrot. Yeah. And like they're matchy kind of that way. Sorry, I heard some screaming. It's just gay bear. Okay, the best one, the best, best, best one is a crab.
Is this the crab two person costume?
Yes, absolutely. The two person crab? Yes. It's horrifying. It's the best.
It's really not good.
It's so good. So we stand essentially, we stand side by side. Yeah. Each of our arm, we get one arm out. I see that. So the arm that's not out has to like be around your waist or down at my side or wherever. Yeah.
And then we each get... It's really bad. It's so good. Did I, are you crazy? I'm looking at it, it's awful. It's so good. I want this crab costume. Who are you gonna crab it up with? You. Why me?
It has to be you. You gotta be the same height. Otherwise the eyeballs are gonna be real wonky.
Okay, well we are kind of the same height. No. Yeah. No. It's only a matter of a couple of inches. I don't like it. Dang it. You never wanna play along.
No, it's not that. What is it then? Have you seen this thing? I'm watching a video of these people putting it on. It, oh boy. Oh boy.
Please, can you go as a crab?
Are you looking at the actual costume page? With the video?
I didn't see the video.
I gotta send it to you. Okay. It's not it. Why? Because you're gonna see why. No. All right, there you go. I sent you the link. Okay, thank you. And then just mouse over till you see the video. Please, please. It's a limited drop. There's only 100 available for $100. Oh gosh. Please.
I've never seen a better costume than this before my life. I love this costume so much. Two people, crab, you get full use of your legs. Your heads are both out. It's either this or brawny the brontosaurus. I don't think we need to do one of our heads.
Two people in one costume. Why? You don't love me. Oh, that's not it. Have you seen this? Did you look at the video?
Yeah, no, where did you send it? I see it.
Then you gotta see them dance in the crab thing. It's just not it. It looks uncomfortable.
Yeah. Yeah. What's your point? That's the hugest point. It looks uncomfortable.
But think of how fun, Josh. How fun? Look it, they're having the best time putting that on. And then they're like dancing and you walk side by side everywhere because that's how crabs walk.
Oh, they're having the best time. Okay. I am Josh. I don't like to have any fun. I will dress up as nothing for Halloween because I don't like to have any
kind of- What are you talking about? I just don't wanna be all claustrophobic in a crab. You're not.
It looks very claustrophobic. No, it has so much breathing room.
No, it has zero.
No, and you just don't zip your face if you get too hot.
Plus, listen to me. Listen to me. Love ya, but you're like right there the whole time. Yeah, I know. That's too much.
Don't put this- Raise your hand if you want to dress up as a crab with me for Halloween.
You can only come if you know what it's like to have fun. I don't want any poo pooers. What is? Have you seen this thing?
It's so close. Like with the slinky dog, there's space. This is like right there.
Right. The whole time. Right, and it's hilarious.
It's funny. I didn't, I don't discredit that. It's a funny costume, but the whole night you gotta wear this thing. Like, here's what would be great. Here's what would make this thing perfect.
If there was a Velcro piece that held the middle part together or snaps or little magnets or something so that you could still independently move about with both arms, but then you can snap it together.
But like, we're a crab. So then let's make our own version. We could do that. Every time you want to make a costume. Then we gotta snap back together.
Do you remember how well making costumes went last year? Yeah, it was great. Yeah. How was your craft room at the end of that?
That's because you decided to make an entire tail. And pants? And your pants, yeah, that's right. And your fabric that you chose made fur go everywhere.
That's on you, bud. I understand. My point is it's a lot of work to make a costume.
Okay, so then we just buy this one. 100 dollars, the most fun we've ever had in our lives. It's not the most fun we've ever had.
Worth it. It's the most fun you're gonna have for a few minutes.
Yeah, I'm gonna find somebody else to have the most fun.
Oh, geez. I hope you're happy.
You blew it. I did not. Halloween is ruined.
Oh, come on now. There's still 21 days to make it okay. Yeah, I did. Halloween's gonna be fine.
Not the same without the crab.
It'll be fine without the crab.
Fine, here's what I'm gonna do.
You're gonna buy the crab and wear half the crab with the other half empty? Yeah, I'm gonna stuff it.
You're gonna stuff it.
Oh, here comes Shantel and the other half of the crab. I'm gonna put metal rods in the legs to give them some kind of stability. I'm gonna put shoes on it.
So it does look like a real person in there. And then I'm gonna stuff the rest of the body. And then I'm gonna get... With what? Stuffing. Okay. Right. And then I'm gonna get a fake head. Or I find a different partner.
I like your metal skeleton idea best. That's the way to go. My metal skeleton. Yeah, the metal legs. Oh, yeah. Yeah, it's a skeleton and then stuffing because it's gonna hold up.
I can see the structural integrity is strong. I'm just gonna have to do a lot of the heavy lifting, but that's okay. That's how my marriage works. Oh, come on. I don't know if you've heard or not, but Idaho Falls got a new water tower. This is true. This might come as a shock to some people.
You think this is new news?
It's new news. Hey, new news. There's a new water tower in town. Tomorrow night, there's a very cool block party happening. Did you know about that? I thought it was tonight. It's tonight. It's tonight. Did you know tonight there's a really cool block party coming to town?
That's what I wanted to talk about. Sorry, I was reading the post that I had pulled up and it says, join us tomorrow night. And then I went, oh yeah, yeah, that's tonight.
Because this was posted yesterday. Yeah, on it. It's tonight. So this is a celebration for the old water tower. If you've been living under a rock, this has been a pretty hot button for Idaho Falls. But I think this sounds fun. This block party sounds fun.
What do you know? They've got farmers market vendors coming. They've made specific items highlighting the old water tower in Idaho Falls. So there's all kinds of projects. Fun.
Let's see. They've got live music from Cowboy DJ Entertainment. Then there is a water tower tribute swag giveaways. They've got a kids art station. There's a community wall where you can share what you love about Idaho Falls. And a live painting of the old tower by Marina Zavilova. Oh, I know her. Yeah, you took a watercolor class from her.
I did. I did take a watercolor class from her.
And then they're gonna do a stunning light show on the new water tower.
Okay, that's what I wanted to know. I saw that. There's also fireworks. There's fireworks and a light show. And I want to know, like, I'm excited to see what that water tower can do. Because they've got it lit up all red, white, and blue and stuff. But I know it has, it has capabilities. But I'm curious about it. So I'm excited to see what that means.
Just as a heads up, Memorial Drive is going to be closed from two to 10 today. Oh, wow. And the Key Bank parking lot across from Memorial Drive will also be closed, but that will only be closed from six to 10.
And this is happening tonight what time? 5 p.m. to 9 p.m.
There you go. And then the fireworks and light show is set to begin about 8.50.
About 10 to 9. So we're wrapping up the night with the fireworks and light show. Oh, that's cool. I got to see what that water tower can do. I'm so curious.
Like ever since they turned on the lights, I've been like, that's cool. And I know it can do other stuff. Because the lighting on the Empire State Building does all kinds of stuff. They do it on the space needle. Like anywhere there's any kind of monument that has the capability to be LED lit now, they're doing light shows on it. And I'm really curious to see what this thing can do. I think it'll be cool. Show me what that thing can do. Because I'm curious about it.
It looks cool. Sounds fun.
Yeah, okay, cool. So that's tonight, 5 to 9, downtown Idaho Falls. We can go and we can celebrate the old tower. And now they've got to be getting close to ready to start removing that tower, right?
Shh, don't even talk about it. I'm just asking. I mean, because I know they said that it would be, once the new one is up and fully functional is when they would start that. But they were talking about it being in the fall. I don't know. I'm not. Okay.
I don't know. I'm not in charge of that committee. It's too hot of a button. I'm just reporting the news. New news. It's too intense. Our show is light and fun. Okay, got it, got it. We won't get heavy with water tower controversy. Sounds good. We're light and fun. I like that. That's good.
We'll put that on a shirt. Classy 97 with Josh and Chantel. Light and fun. No serious topic. No heavy serious news.
Just goofs. You gonna be okay? Are you gonna be okay?
I'm gonna be fine. Is this the video with the motorcycle? Yes. This is the one you're crying about? Yes. Okay. You sent it to me and you said, I sent you this video. It's so nice.
I just, I like nice people and I like nice people doing things for nice people.
Okay. So this is, let me get this right. This is a motorcyclist and a semi trucker. Yes. And he pulls up and they're having a conversation. They're both trying to turn left at a light.
Correct. And he, the guy in the motorcycle says, hey, you want me to hold up the people so that you can make the turn. And the guy in the truck was like, yeah, yeah, that'd be super helpful.
That would be amazing. And also thank you for even thinking about that. Most people don't think about that. Yeah. So I appreciate that you would even recognize that I need some help making turns sometimes. I can't even imagine how stressful that must be. Right. To be a semi truck driver and try to make these sharp turns with people who just don't care about you or what you're doing.
And he knew the guy that was behind him. So he said, I'm just gonna stay put in the lane until you make the turn. Because you're gonna have to make a weird wonky left turn that's gonna cut off traffic in order for you to get around that corner. So he just says, hey, I'm gonna hold off the traffic and the guy behind me is not gonna be happy about it.
Yeah, this guy behind me is gonna be mad. But he'll get over it, it's fine. And sure enough, the guy behind him's honking at him as he's getting ready to turn and the motorcycle guy is not moving at the green light. On purpose, intentionally. Less than a beat after you turn green, the guy behind him is like, hey, I'm on my horn.
And I like the guy on the motorcycle just shaking his head like, no.
I know what I'm doing.
Get over yourself, dude. Yeah, very interesting. That's nice.
But it made you ball your eyes out. I didn't ball my eyes out.
Did I get a little misty? You were pretty, you were crying a pretty hard one. I was not. You were sniffling and everything. It was a pretty hard cry. It was nice.
I like nice people doing nice things. It's a very nice video, I agree. It's very nice. It is nice people doing nice things in the world and they're helping each other. And I like those simple acts of kindness. I mean, you're crying right now thinking about it. Because I'm good to prepare a man of balls.
It's okay, I'm not judging you. I'm just telling you, it's a nice sweet video. I have a lot of emotions. Yeah, I know.
It's okay. It is okay. It's a nice video and I'm glad you shared it with me. Thank you. So that we could talk about it. Do you have enough Kleenex over there?
Yeah, I'm fine. I just, here's the thing that happened.
I have a whole box.
I wake up every day and I go, I'm gonna be a nice person today. Yeah. And I think for the most part, I'm a nice person. Are there times that I lose my patience and I get mad at people? Sure. Yes. But then I watch videos like that and I go, okay, let's do better.
Let's be a nicer human being. I like it. Other human beings. It's important, it's a good reminder. It's a great reminder. Thank you. That a small thing like holding back other people.
Just the consideration that he was like, hey, I realized that this must be a difficult turn for you. I'm gonna help you out. And that was nice. Nice people are nice. This is true. You sure you have enough Kleenex? Not good. There's more nice videos on the internet.
I know, I'm gonna watch more of them. Okay, all right. You told me this morning that it's hug Kevin day, hug a Kevin day. That's right. But it's also world egg day.
Never skip egg day, they say.
It's the scrambliest of foods.
Okay, I don't have eggs in any of my information. I have mental health day, cake decorating day, handbag day, walk to a park day and hug a Kevin day. I have no eggs.
That's funny, cause it's world egg day. Where? Today. Says who? Says this website that I'm on. I gotta look it up. I just wanna ask you, even though I know the answer, this is a hot topic that a lot of people have a stance on. This is very much in the realm of pineapple on pizza kind of situation. Catch up on eggs. Gross. Yeah, double gross. Not just single gross, double gross.
You don't do catch up on eggs. No. Look, I'm gonna tell you, the reason I don't like ketchup, I've said it before, I'll say it again a hundred times till everybody hears it. Everything ketchup touches turns to ketchup. If you like the taste of ketchup, you love ketchup. If you like the taste of anything else, then you don't like ketchup because ketchup ruins the flavor of everything. It then tastes like ketchup. Sometimes it benefits the flavor.
No, it masks the flavor to your benefit. Because you don't like the way the original thing tastes. So you put ketchup on it. To make it taste like ketchup, which is an acceptable flavor to you. Yeah. Yeah. That's how people use ketchup.
Okay, if you're making scrambled eggs, would you put cheese in it? Because I don't. I don't like cheese in my scrambled eggs. No, thank you. I put it on top.
So it kind of gets all melty. Sometimes I put it in, but not very often. I don't like it.
I do like a lot of pepper. Yeah, I know that about you. You better be peppering up my scrambled eggs.
You do like a lot of pepper.
Eggs, just eggs in general. I like pepper on my eggs. Heavy on the pepper. Please think that. Yeah, egg day is June 3rd. What? Why did this say?
I don't know where you're getting egg day info. I've been trying to figure out egg day all day.
It's world egg day.
Maybe that's why. I just looked up national egg day is June.
National. Okay, hold on, hold on.
World egg day. It's a world. World egg day is today.
There it is. World egg day. We're talking full scale, not just national. The whole egg. Or on every continent is celebrating the egg today.
All right, let's find out how do we celebrate eggs? You eat eggs. Simple and easy.
Oh, we should have, here's what we should have. What is it? I was gonna say we should have an egg off. Like an egg cooking competition, but I don't like the way that you cook eggs. And you don't like the way that I cook eggs. Here's what I know to be true about eggs. Everyone has a specific way that they like them.
I would say this is what I know to be true about eggs. What? Everybody knows when the eggs are bad. Everybody will tolerate a mediocre egg that maybe isn't the way they love it, but everybody knows when the eggs are bad. And you go, these eggs are way too dry, or these eggs are super wet. What's with the wet eggs?
And everybody knows, I don't think I'm gonna have eggs today. Yeah, I don't like that. I don't like the way that egg is cooked. Yeah, no eggs for me. My dad always burned the eggs, always. And here's another thing I know to be true about eggs. You can't get rid of that burnt egg smell in your house.
No, it's a bad one. Gross. That's a bad one.
Turn the heat down, dad.
The theme for 2025, the mighty egg packed with natural nutrition. The theme of what? Of World Egg Day. They have themes? There's a World Egg Organization. Spelled with an S, I might add, because organization, organization, because it's worldwide.
The mighty egg packed with natural nutrition celebrates the powerful role eggs play in nourishing people across the globe.
Okay, here's another thing. If I sing this to you, see if you can finish it.
I love eggs. The incredible egg, from a head down to my head. From a head down to my legs. You gotta love it, the incredible, edible egg.
You got it. Yeah, I knew where it was going before you even started. Did you know that eggs contain 13 essential nutrients in one simple ingredient? No, we don't care about that stuff.
Well, this is a key message about the natural nutrition.
Let's have a contest, some kind of contest that involves eggs. What could we do?
I found a social media tool kit so that you can download different egg-themed things to celebrate eggs. I found children's activity packs like different coloring pages. Get out your yellow crayons, because that's the only color you're gonna need. Yoke, yoke, yoke, yoke, yoke. Because the rest of the egg is white.
I got it. Unless you cook your eggs like me and you sprinkle it with so much pepper that it's almost black.
I've never seen a blue egg. I haven't either. What about, let's see what's happening around the world.
Yeah, how does the world celebrate egg day?
Well, I'm trying to find it out here.
Do you like, I get kind of grossed out by eggs that are sitting on the counter.
Oh, non-refrigerated ones? Yeah. So you don't have to refrigerate them?
I know, I know. And I know that people who own their own chickens just leave their eggs on the counter and that's totally fine and normal, but for some reason, my brain thinks that's gross. And then I have hard time eating those eggs even after they've been cooked.
Well? Eggs, aren't they fun? Eggs. Not quite all the way around, but close. Eggs. If you need a new tagline, we got you. Kind of a circle, but not quite. Eggs.
Let's see, I'm trying to see if there's anything else I can tell you about it. That's it, we got them.
I'm happy that we both don't like catch up on our eggs because that is gross.
Well, if you're a member of the World Egg Organization, you can have access to several different locked parts of the World Egg Organization website, including presentations, country insights, so you can find out what's going on with eggs around the world. You can also get into interactive statistics and publications, as well as industry guidelines, positions and responses, and something called chick placements.
Aw, I wanna place chick.
I think it's a dating portion of the website for egg enthusiasts, chick placements. You love eggs? I love eggs.
Me too. All right. Let's build a relationship.
Incredible. Not quite round.
But close. There it is. Good job. I found it. You did it. And then I have to hit that button, and then I can say, would you rather this or that?
Okay, this is a Halloween slash Christmas combo. You get a combo today. A what? A Halloween slash Christmas combo. What a very Tim Burton thing to do. Isn't it? Isn't it? Would you rather grow warts like a witch or a nose that glows like Rudolph's?
This is two wart questions. Yes, you had which warts before.
Okay, I did have which warts before, but not this same question.
So is this only on the nose? Because it's a nose question. So would I rather have a glowing red nose like Rudolph or a- Or giant warts.
Big wart. Like witches. Forever. Forever. Forever. I feel like the glowing nose would come in handy in a lot of different circumstances. And because my nose is so cold all the time, it's already red, so that's not a big deal to me. I'm going Rudolph, because I think that's more beneficial than a hindrance. IMO. That means in my opinion.
No, I know. So I wanted to find out what made Rudolph's nose glow. And I did not get the answer that I expected. I wanted to know what was the trigger.
Like was it like if he was excited and then he went like that. Oh yeah. You know? Yeah, from the movie. Yeah, like what was it that made his nose glow?
And what'd you learn? Well, so I googled what made Rudolph's nose glow. And I found out that it could be an issue with his vascular system.
Oh no. In which there's an extremely dense network of blood vessels. Or it could be from a horizontal gene transfer of DNA from his parents.
Or it could be a parasitic infestation. Oh no. Those are not the answers I was expecting at all. Not one of those. Oh, Rudolph. I wanted to know more specifically what was the cause.
I think it's just because he gets excited. Woo. Yeah, yes, yes. It's not a parasitic infestation.
Does it have to make that noise? No. And then people are asking was it just shiny or did it actually glow? I think, okay.
For this circumstance, we'll say it glows when you're excited about something and it glows like a light, like a light bulb.
Like the song says. Yes. See a whole bunch of people are like, here's all the science behind it. I just want to know like what was the, like Pinocchio lies, his nose gets bigger. See, that's what I want. I want cause and effect. Correct. If effect is glowing nose, what is cause? That's what I want. Excitability. Just excitement. Yeah.
We're going sledding.
Yeah. And he, yeah. Okay. Not a parasitic infestation of bioluminescent fly larva.
No, no, no, no. It's not that. Or warts. Or warts. You get it.
I spent so much time trying to figure out the cause. Yeah, you did. I totally forgot we were asking even a question. I don't even know what to pick.
I just don't even know which one to pick.
Stop it. Stop. What'd you pick? I picked Rudolph's nose, the glowing nose. Rudolph?
There's an L in there.
I just know it. No, it's Rudolph. Rudolph. He's German. Rudolph. Yeah.
Sure. I'll take the nose. Yes. The glowing nose, bioluminescent fly larva, powered red nose. Like that.
But it doesn't make a noise.
It just lights up. Does it make a nose? Hey. There are not like a whole ton of things that I want to go see in Vegas, but the sphere is one of the things I want to go see in Vegas. I do too. I want to see the Wizard of Oz thing. Me too. My mom's been ranting and raving about that.
She wants to see that. I think that is super cool. And the way that they've made it immersive with like the wind and the heat from the fire and the giant wizard like the whole thing.
I know, it looks so cool. I think that would be a real actual flying monkeys, stuff like that. Like I think that looks really cool. Yes, it looks great. They've had several concerts there. Backstreet Boys did a concert.
You two did a concert. They've had several. I think the Eagles did a show there. They've had quite a few. There is a new residency at the sphere for 2026.
And I know what you're gonna say when I tell you. You're gonna go meh.
You don't know me at all. Do you know the band? I don't. It was announced this morning. Okay, say.
Well, I want you to kind of guess.
Okay, what did they play? Is it pop? Is it rock? Is it country?
It used to be punk rock-ish, then became way more pop.
Okay, it's a band.
It is a band. It's not a solo artist. That is correct.
It is a band. It used to be punk. Then then became.
It used to be punk-ish, like a punk ska style. Okay, punk ska. And then turned into very pop, very pop. We play one or two of their songs on classy.
Is it fallout boy? Is it... Used to be punk. I am drawing a blank. It's no doubt.
See, I told you. Look how immediately you went meh.
I liked 90s no doubt. I know. I don't like now no doubt.
Is it the Gwen Stefani you have an issue with? Because Tragic Kingdom was such a great album.
90s Gwen Stefani was what every teenage girl wanted to be.
So guess what album turns 30 years next week?
No. Next year, sorry, next year. I know. Tragic Kingdom will be 30 years old. I'm not that old. It's insane. It has sold 16 million records worldwide. It peaked at number one, just a girl, don't speak, spiderweb, Sunday morning. There's so many great songs from that.
Sunday morning. It's such a good record. Is it all the original members? From what I can tell, yeah. Because I really liked the drummer of no doubt in the 90s.
So the alternative rockers lasted through 2009. People that write articles are silly. But anyway, and then underneath it all, which was also a good track, it's really good stuff. But anyway, the residency kicks off on May 6th and it marks the group's first run of shows in 14 years, which is cool. And they'll be at the Sphere, which the Sphere is doing really, really cool visuals and all that kind of stuff. So I'm curious to see what they're gonna do with it.
If she better be 90s Gwen though. Don't, none of this now Gwen. I don't like what she's doing now. It's weird. Just be 90s Gwen, Gwen. Come on. Bring back 90s Gwen. Come on. Bring back the flannel, Prince Gwen. Yeah. You know when people say never change, you changed. I see.
Never change, go back. So this residency is, it's only one, two, three, four, five, six shows. So I don't even know how they call it a residency, but it kicks off on May 6th and then the last show will be May 16th. So it's a very short run. May 6th, May 8th, May 9th, May 13th, 15th and 16th. And then it's done.
Is she gonna bring Blake Shelton on stage with her?
I don't know. Cause that's gonna be. I mean, it'd be fun if they had like some cool, not him, but it'd be cool if they had some like special guests come up each night.
That'd be fun. But tickets go on sale on Wednesday the 15th at 1pm Eastern. That's 11pm or 11am our time, sorry. And you can sign up for early access on Ticketmaster through Monday the 13th. So you can, if you really wanna go, you can sign up for early access right now on Ticketmaster. And then the general public on sale will hit October 17th. So there's several different ways you can get tickets, but Ticketmaster is gonna be where you go to get them if you do wanna see, no doubt. And I think I'm pretty sure they're gonna be expensive, right? They've got it.
Yeah, at the spear, yeah.
Like there's no way they're gonna be inexpensive.
Yeah, I'm not, I probably won't get tickets to that one.
You don't think so? No. You're pretty mad about it, man.
Yeah, pretty mad. If it was 90s, no doubt, I'd be, yes, please.
Yeah, I wanted to see if they were gonna show me, I signed up for pre-sell info to see if I can get tickets to Friday, May 8th, just to see. We'll see what happens. They'll let me know. But I've signed up for the pre-sell for Friday, May 8th.
Congratulations. We'll see what happens. I would like to go to the sphere. If this is the way I get there, fine.
I'll see a show at the sphere, but anyway. Should we wrap up the show? Should we kick off our weekend? Should we be done for the day?
