Full show transcript:

I just saw a video and it's a guy and he's laying on a massage table and there's like a blanket over the top of him and the blanket is on fire.

This is a type of massage? It's called fire therapy. And so I googled fire therapy and it came up with a bunch of different things. So the video that I saw I think is a fire massage and this involves applying herbal soaked towels to the skin and then you light them on fire and then the tiles are quickly extinguished with another damp towel providing a controlled and intense heat sensation. And this is thought to help balance the body's temperature, improve circulation and alleviate joint and muscle pain. Okay, so there's that one and then there's also a thing called fire cupping. I knew about cupping. And this is where a therapist puts a small amount of a flammable substance in a glass cup, ignites it and then places the cup on the skin.

Yes. Then the fire heats the air inside the cup and as it cools it creates a vacuum effect that pulls the skin upward into the cup. That is correct. And the suction can cause the skin to rise and redden as your blood vessels expand. And that's believed to help with circulation and muscle tension.

So there are ways they do that with fire but then they also have cupping where they use just they have a pressurized cup with a valve on them and then they have like a vacuum pump that they can just and then the cups will stay in place. Same kind of way. Oh man.

Oh man. Yeah, no I'm not into it. Like I know people talk about like the therapeutic benefits of it. The cupping thing. Have you seen someone after cupping? Yes. Their back is like crazy. I know. They look like a ladybug.

But the people who have gotten it done say that it's awesome. Do they? And they like it. Okay, then there's another one. A fire needle therapy. Fire needles? And this is a rapid insertion of a heated needle like into acupuncture points.

I'm not into any of this. This is like this is the people that were like I've done acupuncture. I've done cupping. I've done massage and they're like but it just wasn't extreme enough. Let's add fire. Okay, cool.

Heat that needle up. Yeah, light that needle on fire and poke it. That's that is terrifying.

Are you saying you don't want to go have this done? I am saying I'm not into fire therapy. Okay.

What about fire needle therapy?

I'm not into fire massage. I'm not into fire cupping. I'm not into cupping in general. I'm not into acupuncture sort of freaks me out. Yeah, because you're afraid of needles. It's not even that. It's a face full of needles. And then they just like wave in the breeze.

It's crazy. It is crazy.

I don't want that. I don't want to be full of needles. And then also not full of fire needles. This is like go to an ant hill and put your hands in it just to see how that feels.

It helps the circulation. You guys are crazy. Are you into this? No. Yeah. No, I'm really not. But do you want to start the show? Are you into that? I'm into that. Let's start it.

So, as we kind of wrapped up the day yesterday, you said you hope to return tomorrow now today at an 85 to 90.

I'd say. That was your goal. Yeah. I say I'm there. You are? Yeah. What? I mean, I feel great. I still feel a little stuffy and my nose is all dry.

Okay. I'm just from all of the blowing and I got a scratchy throat still. But I'm on the up and up. I'm on the mend. Okay. My voice sounds better, doesn't it?

I mean, a little bit. Yeah, you feel a little bit more like you're there. Now we're going to have to keep, we're going to keep it around. That's the thing you need. Why? We're going to keep the cough signal around anytime. Okay. It's just that one finger and I'll go, yep, that's a cough thing. Okay. So, make sure to let me know.

You have to look up every once in a while. Oh. Because yesterday I was doing it and then it was like waving.

Yeah, you should finger wag. That helps too.

Yeah, but you still have to look up every now and again.

What's going to be fun is when we get video rolling again in here and then you, in all the videos are wagging a finger at me and everybody watching.

Turn down my mic. But what is he doing?

No, you haven't done that. That'd be okay. Let's see. I was going to mention today we are wearing pink because it is breast cancer awareness day. So if you're getting ready this morning, throw on something pink and support breast cancer awareness. That's really good. See, you didn't give me the, you lean in all over like you're taze on day. What? He's the guy who did chocolate rain. Yeah. And he would talk in the microphone and then he would, he literally in the video he said, and then I look away to catch my breath because he didn't want to hear himself going in the song.

And so when you just move to the side like that, you look like taze on day. Okay. Chocolate rain. Strange reference. All that. Very specific. Very specific reference, but it made a whole lot of sense to me.

To the people who have seen that video. Yes. The three people. You know, he follows me on Twitter.

Wow. Very, very big deal. Congrats. Yeah.

I felt pretty special. I'm sorry. You were saying something else.

We're wearing pink today. Oh, that's right. Because it's breast cancer awareness day. So throw on something pink. Yeah. Probably display some pink and I'm wearing pink. Me too. You're wearing pink. You got pink shoes even.

Yeah. So I do support awareness of breast cancer and an early detection and prevention by wearing pink today. And if anybody goes, why are you wearing pink? You go, come on man. It's October and it is Wednesday. We wear pink. Yeah. And it's October 15th. Exactly. It's breast cancer awareness day. Yeah. That's right.

And go get those mammograms. Yeah. 100%. Because early detection is the key. That is correct.

And that is everything I know. Do you know anything else? No. You said it all. All right. And the show. And we'll see you tomorrow. Good morning.

Are you, do you consider yourself afraid of the dark?

Not terribly. I would say there are times where I'm less than comfortable in the dark. Sometimes when I'm out in the woods, there are times where I'm like, I'm just gonna stay in my tent because outside is scary.

Because your tent is real safe.

Well, at least it's a space I can control. So I feel more comfortable in a space where I'm like, okay, my headlamp lights up this space. I'm warm. I'm okay. But if I'm just like out in the woods in the dark.

Wandering around. Yeah. Like what am I doing? I don't know. I'm just walking out wandering in the woods at night. Exactly.

Don't do that. I'm not a wild animal. Don't do that. I'm in my tent. Don't wander at night. Sometimes like unknown places, being in the dark and unknown places is strange. Such as? What's an unknown place?

Like behind the scenes of a mall. Like in the inner workings. In the depths. Yeah. So when I worked in a mall in Phoenix, occasionally you'd be there late at night and they'd close up and stuff. And some of the hallways as you were leaving, you didn't leave through the, you would like pull your chain gate door down and lock it. And then you exit your store through the back halls of the mall. And you'd take the garbage out, you know, or to the compactor or whatever as you were leaving. And some of those hallways weren't well lit. That wasn't ever a good time. What were you afraid of down there? You just the unknown. Yeah. Yeah.

I get it. Yeah. Yeah. I get a scared when.

A scared? A scared. When I have to take out the garbage at night. Speaking of which. I know. We forgot. Yeah. I know. I was just thinking that. It's garbage day. I know.

It might be pushed back because holiday on Monday. It might be tomorrow. We might be off the hook.

It's okay. It's not Labor Day. No, but it was. Yeah, but I don't know.

We might be okay. No, let's go back to this.

No, you're fine. You're taking the garbage out in the dark.

You got to run. You got to run to take out that garbage. Yeah. No. There's a boogeyman waiting to get you.

I'm not afraid of the dark at our house.

Oh, that boogeyman is like, get her. She's outside at night.

There's no boogeyman at our house.

And it's scary in the basement at night.

When it's dark. No, it's not. No, I grew up and live in a basement. I was in a basement kid.

And our basement is nice. We have a nice baby. It's finished. It's not scary. Right. But when I'm down there alone at night. Not.

You got to get. I got to get to get. That's one of the safest places to be. Why? Because who's going down there but you? Nobody.

There's already somebody down there.

There is not. No. There's nobody in the basement. Okay.

But you when you were down there. So out of a hundred. How scared are you of the dark? Not very. Just if you're in unknown places or the woods.

At night. Yeah. Wandering around. Wandering around at night. I don't do it. I refuse.

How about the neighborhood? If you're wandering around the neighborhood at night.

The neighborhood. No. Now we have street lights. What I wander around the neighborhood. If the power was out. Oh. That's an interesting.

Would you? I don't know. It sounds interesting. I kind of would. Only with somebody. Yeah.

No, you'll be walking by yourself and somebody will be there. The basement boogeyman will be with you. Fine. We're friends. Fine. Yeah. I bet. I bet. That's weird how you run away from your friends every time you're in the basement.

You have to go upstairs. Not every time.

Just sometimes. Grab my feet. Not just sometimes. When I go. Yeah. No.

So you'd say. Not very. Percent out of a hundred. That's way too high. Oh. What? You made it sound like you were more afraid of the dark. Than you are right now.

No. I didn't. I did not convey that I was scared of the dark. Where are you on the scale of one to zero to one?

I would say. 50%. I'm 50% afraid of the dark.

Really? Yeah. That's really high. I know. I know.

What's in the dark? Unknown stuff.

No. Unknown areas in the dark are scary. In the dark where you know the place? Fine.

No, you don't know what's lurking there. Nothing. Spiders. No. Hidden people. No. Hidden people. I've watched too many scary movies.

I guess so. Maybe that's my deal. I don't go to creepy dark places. I just go to like comfortable ones. So I'm not afraid of the dark and comfortable places. It's unknown weird places where I get the little.

Unknown weird places. So would you be afraid of those unknown weird places in the light then too? Or just the dark?

Mostly just in the dark. I think the only time an unknown place in the light would be scary. I'm trying to figure out when that would be because I can navigate that. Like I'm in the back halls now and I can see everything. Fine. Good to go. All right. That checks out. Yeah. So I don't know. Okay.

So 10% afraid of the dark? Not even. Oh, come on. You are too. No. 10% you are.

No. Yes. One out of 10 times that I'm out and about I get scared. No.

Okay. I'm still sticking with 50 because I'm honest about my fears.

I'm not that scared of the dark. I am. I am. I heard. Okay. So some good news. This is going to get a little bit sciency. So hang in there because this is pretty cool. They give out Nobel Peace Prizes in several different categories. And one of those is in chemistry.

Okay. And just last week, the winners were praised for their innovation, which one Nobel committee member compared to Hermione's handbag from Harry Potter. You could liken that to Mary Poppins bag from Mary Poppins as well.

Yeah. Because that's where JK Rowling stole it from. That's

correct. That is correct along with everything else.

So here's the deal. The scientists that received the honor, they developed a material that is full of microscopic holes that can trap and store chemicals. So I said it's going to get a little bit weird here, but hang tight. So this whole thing started in 1989. There was a guy named Richard Robson who began testing the properties of atoms in a new way. And then this international trio of scientists, including Richard Robson and a few other people eventually developed a metal organic framework. It's a crystal like structure made from metal ions and carbon based molecules.

And when combined, they form a well ordered spacious crystal like a diamond filled with innumerable cavities. And they can use this for all kinds of stuff. Storing clean water in like dry desert climates. They can take CO2 out of the air for like toxic gases. They can filter harmful PFAS chemicals from drinking water.

They can use them in batteries to store the energy that batteries carry. They said that this thing's about the size of a sugar cube, but it can carry as much surface area as an entire football pitch. I don't understand. In the size of a sugar cube because it has that much surface area. I don't understand. Yeah. I figured you might not. No, my brain does not compute.

It's fine. It's a little tiny sugar cube sized metal cube with innumerable, whatever, holes that can capture chemicals and different things. Yeah, but how?

Oh, science. I know, but chemistry.

It's cool. Nobel Peace Prize winner. I just don't understand it. Yeah. Who did the, who developed this?

This is three scientists from Kyoto University in Japan, Oxford in England and the University of Melbourne in Australia. They've all been working together. They've all been working together. Smarty pants. It's very, very cool. They've been working together since 1989 to figure this out. Really? It's been a long time coming.

It's been a long journey, guys. Yep. So they will share. Are they dudes or is there a lady?

You don't know. There's just names. Okay. And there's a Japanese name and there's the dude from England who we talked about and then whoever's from Melbourne, Australia. They will share the prize money of 11 million Swedish Kronor, which is about one and a half million dollars.

They're going to split that three ways? They split that between the three of them. I feel like maybe they should each get their own because that's a pretty amazing thing to have done.

It really is. Yeah. Yeah, pretty spectacular.

I don't understand it, but it sounds cool.

It's science and it's a revolutionary technology that will continue to be used for new applications all the time. And you know what else it is? What? Good news. That's what else it is.

Your birthday is in February. Yes. But I think I know what I want to do.

For my birthday?

Uh-huh. You're going to tell me now? Yeah, I got a birthday party planned. Oh, great. It's a hot new trend that people are doing. Oh, hot new birthday trend. People are hiring magicians for their adult birthday party.

I've seen some of these. Have you? Yeah. Like it's a child magician who shows up and then there's just like a bunch of adults sitting around, entertaining me.

Maybe I'll hire you a magician and a clown. Why would you do that? Maybe like a petting zoo. No. Let's go full steam ahead.

I'm not a six-year-old.

But, Josh, think of how much fun you'd have. I've been to a petting zoo. And? Not that much fun. Not in your backyard. Yeah.

They bring the petting zoo to you. Do you want that? Do you want like a camel walking around? Kind of. No. Why not? I don't want a camel walking around the backyard. I do. No.

I would be awesome. Make that happen for my birthday.

I don't want a camel walking around the yard. It's my birthday. Okay. We'll go see a camel. I'm not going to bring a camel to the house.

I can't believe you. I'm going to hire a magician for yours. The least you can do is bring a camel to mine. You can't believe it. One of the reasons that people are doing this is because they are claiming whimsy deficiency. Oh. They think that Gen Z had a rough go of it during the pandemic and not a normal transition to adulthood. Okay. So they're lacking whimsy, I guess. That's what it says.

Whimsy deficiency. And they're looking for ways to revisit their childhood. So go to a circus.

No. I've been to a circus before. You know what it is? Whimsy. I think it looks awesome. I'm watching a video of this magician. And it's just five adult women watching this guy.

He just made two devs appear out of nowhere. Isn't that something? That is something. Where did he pull those from? Wow. I'm saying I'm going to get a magician. And I know just the one.

I just wanted to look up where to find whimsy. And? I guess whimsy is something else. I don't know. It's in your heart, Josh. I guess there's online.

You can visit different online shops with many sellers offering items described as whimsical clothing to jewelry to home decor and digital art.

So you can find whimsy in art.

You can find whimsy wherever your heart takes you.

Oh yeah. Sure. It's been in your heart. Flea markets and thrift stores. You can find whimsy there. Local hippie or artisan shops could have handcrafted goods or bohemian style whimsical items.

I'm just going to walk around like when I'm sad or having a bad day. Yeah. I'm just going to be mopey and say.

Here's a creative activity. I got whimsy deficiency today. Okay. Why are you so down in the dumps? Not enough whimsy. Have you ever heard of a penny walk? No. This is interesting. Say.

I will. It's a simple walk, but you turn it into a game by specifically looking for interesting or unusual things while you're out on a walk. Wow.

A penny walk. That's whimsical. I know. Wow. Yeah. No camels involved. No torn up yard. How do you know they're going to tear up the yard? Have you seen their feet?

Our yard is also pretty torn up already.

I've worked hard on the yard this year. Have you seen it? Not enough apparently. Sorry. They're really trying to get the grass to come back. I know. So I don't want a camel ruin in my progress.

She is the weed. No camel. How about a camel in the front yard? No. What if we take the camel to the park down the street?

Yeah. The zoo. Go see it. All right.

I just can't touch it. You can just ask. Can I touch that camel?

Have you tried asking? Maybe you should ask. Maybe I should. Can I pet that camel? Why a camel? And now you get to the real question.

Yeah. Why did you say camel? Because it's your birthday.

So this year I worked hard to grow a garden and had, you know, varying results on things as we've kind of talked about, but I've pretty much harvested what I'm going to harvest at this point.

And I just saw this post as I was looking online. This guy grew a garden. Had some wonderful looking produce all bagged up on a countertop. He's got some good peppers in here, some bell peppers. He's got a good collection of tomatoes. Really nice looking produce. Says I spent six months growing my garden, planting it, watering it, taking care of it, watching it grow.

Sometimes stressful, but overall successful. And I built and poured into it so much. And then he says, and I came home today at the end of the growing season to see it basically bagged up and wiped out. My drama loving aunt, who I stay away from, was visiting and decided to harvest about 75% of my garden without asking. And he says, my mom just let her, didn't stop her, didn't text to warn me, just let it happen. And then he says, and then my aunt has the nerve to brag to me that she's going to take it all and give it to her neighbors.

Like it's hers. I know. Look, you went clear over there. I don't know why you went clear over there in the middle of the story. Like we weren't on the live radio, but that's fine.

The door was open and there was noise in the hall and I went to shut the door. I'm listening.

I'm still involved in the story. Yeah, no, I hear you. You just were over there without a microphone reacting. That's crazy. I know. It's absolutely insane. What would you do? I don't know. I don't know. He said, I'm beyond disappointed. Mostly I'm really upset with like the lack of taking into consideration anything that went into growing it. But yeah, I don't know. I don't know what you do.

Also, he worked six months on his garden. Yeah, he must live in a nice climate.

He has a nicer climate. He's got a big produce. Yeah. Cause you had what? You had a good May, June, July, August. And then September.

September. So you have five months in.

Yeah. They might have an earlier growing season wherever he's at. But anyway, that's unless he germinated.

They must be a zone four. I don't know. I don't know. I don't know.

I don't know zones. I don't know. But anyway, that's really frustrating. That is so crazy. Really, really super frustrating.

I can't even imagine. I can't even imagine. I mean, you don't touch somebody else's garden like that. I get it. Yeah. Harvest 75% of the produce and then be like, I'm taking this to my neighbors. Like what? What? You didn't.

What's strange entitlement? That reminds me of a story called, I don't know what it's called. Oh, okay. It's the chicken who wants to make bread. And then she says, who wants to help me? It's chicken little. No, chicken little is the sky is falling. Oh, is it stone soup? No.

Where everybody had to bring the thing? No. What is it?

I don't know what it's called, but you know the one I'm talking about, right? Where she's like, who will help me? All the farm animals. Mill the flower. And then everyone says, not me, not me. And then she does it all by herself. And then you will help me eat the spread and then everybody wants to eat the bread, but nobody wants to work for it.

You know, that is that ant. It's the little red hen. There it is. The little red hen. Yeah. A folk tale about farm animals gathering ingredients. Yeah. Yeah. That's right.

That's the ant. Well, the son was the little red hen.

And the lesson is that after doing all the work herself, the little red hen asked, who will help me eat this fresh baked bread? And all the lazy animals eagerly, eagerly said, yes, we'll help. And little red hen, however, said, no, you get nothing. Yeah.

This is my garden. And eats the bread with her own chicks. And the moral is those who do the work should reap the rewards.

Yeah. Exactly. Ant. That's right. I can't even believe it. It's a crazy, crazy story. That's a crazy story. Yeah.

I'd be disappointed. There was one time and I, and it's a similar emotion. It's not the same because I didn't pour months and months and months into it, but there was one year I really wanted to make Thanksgiving dinner at home. And I had to work that morning and I had come home and everything had been started without me. And it's the same kind of feeling. It's that same like, I wish I could have done the thing I wanted to do, but instead, nope. So that, you know, you were there. You remember.

I do. And you bring this up all the time. All the time? Yeah. All the time. More than is necessary.

It's got that same scarring feeling.

One, I didn't know you really desperately wanted to cook that bad.

I don't know. It was desperate.

You also had to work that morning. That's right. And my mom was anxious to get the turkey in and I did not know that this was going to scar you for life. It's life scarring. Guess what? You can make a turkey.

It's gone. I don't want to do it now.

No, I'm just going to keep

bringing it over and over and over. That's like three times in my whole life. Like two decades ago.

Yeah, I know. Get over it. Oh, okay.

I'll send that guy advice. I'll say, Hey, listen, man, two decades later, you're still going to feel it, but get over it. Get over it. That's the advice. Yeah, exactly. Sure. Crazy. You want to hear a story about a trophy? I can tell that one too. Why are you shaking your head? It's a good story.

There are two things that you don't never let me live down.

Those are it. Those are it. Yep. Out of our whole life. That's pretty good. Yeah.

What are the things I never let you live down?

Oh, so many. Give me one example. Here's one.

I bought a pork roast because I was going to make that on Sunday. And then on Sunday, it was not feeling great. And so I didn't make it. On Monday, I was like, I got to make that pork. And I still felt kind of icky on Monday, but I managed to get up, wash my hands and put that pork in the crock pot and three pounds of pork. And it was delicious. And when it was ready and done, I took it out and I cut off all the fat and I shredded it and made some mashed potatoes. And you came home. I went to bed, took some nightcloth. That's right. Left it out for you to eat.

The kids were not into it. Right. And I was like, there's going to be a lot of pork left over for leftovers all week. And then you come home and you have your share of pork and then we each made our own little leftover container. And then I woke up the next morning, Tuesday morning and said, oh, the crock pot is still out. I thought maybe you would have put it away. And then I looked in the crock pot and there's all the pork.

Not all of it. Just what I didn't end up putting in the fridge for leftovers. Yesterday had leftovers for lunch. It was nice. Yeah, you had it. So we had four meals out of that.

But we could have had so many more.

I get it. And you make it sound like there was like six pounds of pork in there. There wasn't. There was maybe a pound, maybe tops.

There's no way you and I ate two pounds of pork.

Absolutely. There is. No way. I ate a ton. Plus you pull all the other stuff out and it cooks down. There wasn't that much left in the crock pot. It was quite a bit. It was more than it should have been, but it wasn't like a whole pork. And I feel bad about it. I forgot.

I got in my head and then I went to bed and I didn't, I mean, at least I turned it off. That's true. You know, it didn't just sit there burning all night.

It was still plugged in, which always is worrisome. Yeah, but I turned it off. You did turn it off and I appreciate that. Thank you.

I'm not saying this to make you feel bad.

I just went, oh, when I woke up on Tuesday morning and went, oh no, all of this wasted food, I hate wasted food. And I was so sad. And then to just throw it in the garbage.

It was, yeah, it was not what I intended to have happen.

I did. As I was throwing it in the garbage, the dog was right there like, oh, are you going to drop some of that? Cause I'd eat that. And she did eat a little of it. Oh, is that right? Cause I dropped some and she went, oh, I'm on top of this. Yeah.

I bet she was. That thing. I don't know.

Anyway, so today as I was looking for leftovers to take for lunch, I went, oh no.

Oh, come on. I got nothing.

It's a bad day. So you have no lunch? I do. It's just a dumb one.

So you're going to go get something else? I might probably will.

Yeah, you should. I should cause the lunch I packed was not.

I opened the fridge and I thought, is there anything in here I can grab quick? And I saw some old penny noodles and I for a minute went, yeah. And then I went, I think that's probably too old. I know. I think the penny noodle stuff is, is.

I looked at that too. There's a couple old leftovers in there, which bums me out. Cause again, I hate throwing away food. I hate wasting food.

There's still some charcuterie stuff. Are you done with all that? I ate all the fruit.

Well, yeah. That's my favorite part.

But there's still some meat and cheese. I've been snacking on that.

Okay. Well, I'm not going to take your snacks.

I'm just saying, if you were looking for something, there's still some stuff.

Every time I eat the charcuterie, cause we're part of a charcuterie subscription. Right. So we get a charcuterie once a month. But every time I eat the charcuterie, you silently, not silently, but you judge me. You always say things like, you always go, I didn't give very much of that.

I didn't. How much okra did I have this time? Zero.

So that's why I left all of the meat and cheese because you always.

That's fine. But I only like the pepperoni on there. The pepperoni and the cheese is, is where it's at. I don't like those little hard ones. You can have all those. Okay. I'm, I'm kind of picky.

I'm picky at the charcuterie. I know you are. I like to pick and choose a few things. I think that's what's great about it though. That's what it's made for.

The charcuterie is made for being picky about it. You can pick a little bit of this, a little bit of that, and you're good to go. You know? Yeah. Until I eat something and then you go, I didn't get any of that.

And I go, I didn't have any cashews. There weren't any cashews either. There weren't any cashews.

There were almonds and they were candied almonds. And I ate all of those because I know that you don't like those. I'm not like to try one.

But we'll never know.

You have tried one and you didn't like it.

I know. You got a button today and it's fun. It's really easy to put.

I'm not having very much fun.

Oh no. We got to brighten up your day. How are we going to do that?

I don't know. Say one nice thing.

What should I say? Tell me what you want to hear and I'll say.

I don't know. Work on it. Okay. Let me know. Okay. We had a dog. She was a blue healer. What was the rest of her? Pointer mix. That's right. I couldn't remember. She was the best dog. Her name was Stella and I loved her. And there's never been a better dog. And you can fight me on that because that was the best dog ever.

Okay. And you know how when you lose a dog and you're really sad about your dog and then you have a different dog and then people say, this is the dog that your former dog sent to you to help you get over the loss of the first dog.

And we called our first dog's name was Stella, but we called her Stella Luna. That is correct. And then when you decided that you wanted another dog and you wanted a Jack Russell, a Jack Russell appeared named Luna. And we went, this is clearly a sign that our dog Stella sent Luna.

That is correct. Our dog Stella would never have done this to me. Oh, come on. She would have never have sent me Luna. Stella was the best dog and I'll tell you why. One of the many things was that I would come up the stairs and she would beat me up the stairs and then she would hold her paw out.

That is right.

To help you get up the stairs. And I, every time I go up the stairs, I hold out my hand and I say help. And that's Stella was, that was Stella's cue to hold out her paw and help me up the stairs. And I tried that with Luna and she does not respond. She just looks at me like, what are you talking about? What do you need?

Why are you bugging me? I was searching for food.

Do you have food? And then she runs away. Yeah. And so that to me is the one and only sign that Stella did not send this crazy Jack Russell to me.

I mean, what are some signs that maybe she did beyond the name?

At the end. That's it. Just the name. What are some other signs that you think?

Well, I mean, she's your little buddy. She follows you around the same way.

Yeah, that's because I give her food. I'm the one that feeds her the most.

I feed her all the time, but it's the, it's the dropping of the human food. There's that part where she goes, you would sometimes drop pork that I like.

Exactly. Yeah. And that's the only reason it's real easy to get a dog's loyalty. You just feed them snacks. Right. And they're like toddlers. The way to win a toddler in a dog's heart is to just feed them snacks. It's pretty easy.

Well, it's working out. I know. But now you have a little buddy. Yeah, I know.

But that my whole point is that people say that the first dog sent her and I say, no, my dog Stella would never have done this to me.

I think she, I think she's a, she loves you so much. She does. That every morning she sits there and waits for you in like the cutest way possible.

It is. And right now she needs a haircut and it looks like she's got these two little horns on the top of her head.

Her whole head is just a disaster.

She's a scruff muffin. And yeah, this morning when I opened the door, she was standing there pretty cute, but a little scruffy. Yeah. And I went, here I'm mess. Only a mother could love you.

Well, I told you the other day when I opened the door, I was frightened by her face because it looked like she had had the roughest night's sleep ever. She was just a puff ball of craziness.

I'm going to work on the helping me up the stairs thing because I think she can learn it. I really do.

I don't get the little training treats. That's the trick. You got to give her a treat when she does it right.

I don't even think she knows how to, she doesn't do the paw.

She doesn't know the paw. We got to work on that too. But just do it all at the same time. Do the paw on the stairs thing and go help and then put out your hand until she puts her little pie in it and then you give her a treat. And then you go help, put your hand out and she puts a little pie in it and you give her a treat and she'll figure it out pretty quick.

I didn't even have to teach Stella to do that. She just did that on her own.

I know. Because she knew you needed a helping hand. Because she was the best and Luna's okay.

That's not nice. I'm not going to say that. Luna loves you unconditionally.

That's true. The same as Stella. Until she sees a cat outside and then she's like, forget about this. I've got to get out of here. Yeah, I'm ready to go.

Or until she runs away to the neighbor's house and we have to chase her and even peanut butter doesn't work.

I know. And then she's like, who are you guys?

I live here now.

I'm free. Crazy old dog anyway. She's a crazy old dog.

I just found out something very cool that Home Depot is doing and I missed this announcement a few weeks ago, but Home Depot is giving free access to self-paced courses in HVAC, carpentry, electrical and construction. So you can earn certificates. You can get certified in these different fields with zero cost, no credit card required.

And I was just looking at it. It's free trades training to prepare you for your trades career. They call it path to pro, which is a really cool thing. So you can start your career in their pro skills program. It's a free on-demand training program with coursework designed to teach transferable soft skills and how to knowledge for successful career and skilled trades. So this is kind of cool. It is cool. I wanted to find out, I guess, a little bit more about what were the trades again.

Yeah, that's exactly what I wanted to see if I could find more information. But it does say HVAC, carpentry, electrical and general construction. And then they also have a way where you can get connected with construction jobs as well through their site. So if you're interested in learning some of these trades and then maybe going on to be like an electrician journeyman or whatever, like this is a great way to kind of get you started.

Yeah, that's really cool. And they're doing that at no charge. It's all free training. How do they get away with that? Well, they have people that know how to do it that are helping them out, I'm sure. That's very cool. Anyway, yeah, path to pro.com is where you can go to learn more about that. I just found that out.

I thought that was really, really super cool. It says about 40% of current construction workers are set to retire in the next six years. So there's 3.9 million trade jobs available in the next 10 years. We need some tradespeople.

Maybe I'll go into some trade work. Yeah, what are you going to do? Carpentry, electrical, plumbing, HVAC, construction, remodeling. None of that. I changed my mind. Oh, okay. All right. I think I'll just stay here.

It's pretty cushy. It's pretty cushy. Path to pro.com, if you want to learn more about it. I just found out I thought that was really neat.

That is very cool. I did not know that. I'm impressed, Tom Depot. Well done, you.

Educating the community. For free. Yeah. That's novel.

I like that. That is pretty cool. Yeah. Anyway, take advantage of it.

Have you been paying attention to what's going on in lava hot springs?

I saw some pictures yesterday.

Yeah. So they posted over the past couple of days, they were closing starting on Monday. This is past Monday. They'll reopen November 7th approximately. And they are emptying the hottest pool. And they are renovating it. They're rebuilding it, which we haven't been there in quite a while. Yeah, it's been a hot minute. But when we lived in Pocatello, we frequented the hot pools.

It was the best for sale. I mean, it was a few times a year. Yeah, it's a real short drive.

No, but not that it's far from here. It's just, you know, you got to dedicate yourself a little bit. But it's way fun to go and sit in the pools. But they've taken the water out and then they did sort of a groundbreaking ceremony on their renovations. And they're taking out everything. If you look today, they've got a little excavator down in there. They've taken out all the steps. And then they've got a little, what is this? The tiniest dump truck in the world? And let me see.

It's on their Facebook page. I see that. And he's pretty fun. And he's driving down there to move the stuff out.

Anyway, pretty cool what they're kind of working on, but they are going to completely rebuild that bigger pool, which I think is going to be awesome. And we're going to have to go.

And then we're going to have to go. Absolutely.

And sit in there. But that is the biggest of the pools and it is the hottest as well. I don't know if they're doing anything with the other pools or not, but for sure they're renovating that one. And I think it's probably, I mean, I remember, I mean, you have that like gravel down in the bottom and stuff. So it's going to have all new gravel. It might not hurt your feet as much when you walk on it, which would be nice.

The best time to go is when it's snowing.

Totally agree. Sitting in the hot pools with the snow falling is amazing.

Yeah, that's the best. Yep. It gets chilly when you leave, but it's so worth it. And then it burdens your skin a little when you walk in.

Because the cold air, then it's hot water.

But then your body acclimates and then it's all good. And then you're just sitting like a dumpling in a soup.

Sitting like a dumpling in a soup. Okay. I'm a human dumpling. It's the best. Yeah.

Okay. Do they have an end date for their renovation?

They said potentially November 7th. So they plan to reopen November 7th approximately. In time for snows. That's right.

We got to take a trip. I know. It's been a hot minute since we've gone and it's about time we go back. I agree. I need to be like a dumpling in a soup. Look at me.

I'm a soup dumpling. Anyway, yeah, that's what's going on. That's the latest as far as I know. I just saw East Idaho News just now posted a story about it as well. So there is that as well if you want to read up on it. They have information. I just saw they posted like less than five minutes ago. I see that now too. It's like the first thing on the page. Wow. So timely, timely conversation. East IdahoNews.com if you want to read more about it. They've got some additional details.

Or yeah, you can go to the Love of Hot Springs page too.

Yeah, we're going to go check out their Facebook page. They've got more pictures and stuff about it there too. Anyway, can't wait. We're going to get down there. Yeah, we do.

I went to take something out of the fridge, the company fridge, which is always. Yeah, I don't like using company fridges.

It's very nice and clean.

I still don't. I don't like to look at people's leftovers. All right. Grosses beyond. But I noticed there was a thing of ketchup in there. And then around the lid of the ketchup bottle, you could see some dried bits of ketchup.

No, that's not it. And then I got really grossed out. And then I started thinking about how gross dried ketchup looks and smells. And then it made me think about how.

Wet ketchup is gross too. It made me, but dried ketchup is even worse. And then I started thinking about how gross dried ranch is. That's one of the worst. I like how it kind of turns kind of clear. Gross.

Like when our kids were little and they would leave out little ranch things. So gross. And gets that layer of film over it. Those are the top two for me of the grossest dried condiments. Oh, and mayonnaise.

Yeah, it does the same thing as ranch. It turns clear like that. Yeah, it's gross. Nobody likes a little hard bit of the mustard either.

No, that's right. It's also, I don't like the watery bits of the mustard. Right. You got to shake the mustard. Because the dried bits and the watery bits are equally as gross. Yeah. Yeah, it's not good. You don't want that.

And then what else is pretty gross? I'm trying to think. Barbecue sauce. Barbecue sauce does the ring thing. I think that's about it. Yeah, it's about it. What does gravy do? Ew, gross. I don't know. I haven't had gravy around that long.

Yeah, I bet it gets like it. Oh, you know what it does.

It's that film. That's what I, yeah. Yeah. Because there's different gravies. I had in my head was thinking like white country gravy, like the sausage gravy. Yeah. But then I started thinking about that, like chicken and turkey gravy.

Like a brown gravy. Yeah. But the, the crunchy gravy gets a film over the top of it too.

Yeah, but like when you go to the buffet.

You love a buffet. And you walk up and you go to move the ladle and it hasn't been moved in a minute. And you're like, this must not be a popular item because the skin of the top of it came

off with the ladle and I moved it. Stop. This is so gross. And the whole top layer goes like a skin.

That's, that's what you should be for Halloween. What is that? What? That's scary. Like figure out. The top layer of anything.

I don't want to. Nobody wants to be that. Everybody's afraid of it.

Nobody wants to be around it.

That's true. That's good.

That's a spook alley. It could go in. It's a buffet and all the food is just dried out.

You could do like cellophane. Okay. Down your whole body. All right. And then you could do some painting. I don't know. How do you paint cellophane?

You got to make it look slippery.

But then you also have to get like a ladle that's like stuck in there. I like that. Kind of congealed. I like where you're going. Like a glue, pasta glue.

Pasta sauce dried out. Isn't that great either? Oh, you're right. Or baked on even. Like when you go to clean the casserole dish and it's got the sauce from the lasagnas on the side. That's not it. Okay.

So would you rather...

Oh, that's coming up in like an hour.

No, but this is a different one. Would you rather clean up dried, like a bowl of dried, not spaghetti, a bowl of dried up ketchup or a bowl of dried up ranch?

I'll just leave in the sink and then a magic fairy comes and fixes it. That's what I'll do.

Yeah. Every house has one typically.

I know. We got a magic dish fairy. Did you know that?

Oh, she's a magic laundry fairy too.

This is true. This is true. That fairy does everything. It's crazy. All of a sudden my socks are folded and ready to go. It's amazing. I know. I like these fairies we have in the house.

You didn't pick ketchup or ranch.

Oh, I had to pick? Uh-huh. Gross. I'm taking ketchup. And I hate ketchup. But dried up ranch is so gross.

It is. It smells so bad. They're both bad.

Think about the smell.

I did. I just did. That's why I made that noise.

Delicious. Pop quiz.

Do I need a pen and paper? No. Oh. You walk into a room and there's two people whispering.

Okay. Hold on. Let me back up a little bit. There are three people in a room. You're one of three people. You walk out of the room. You walk back in minutes later and the two people are whispering. And then when you walk back in, they stop. What do you do?

Okay. Hold on. I got to need a little more information. Okay. What information? Before I walked out, were the three of us talking or was it weird and awkward, quiet?

It was, we were talking. We were having a conversation.

Three of us. So three people in a room. Three of you. Having a conversation. And so we're hanging out. And it's lighthearted?

I mean, not so serious, but...

Are we talking about people? Are we talking about life? Are we just talking in general conversation?

You're talking about a work thing.

Okay. So we're having a work conversation. Correct. Maybe about a project or something.

Something that needs to get done. Okay. Cool. All right. So we're having a work project conversation. Three people in a room having a work conversation. And then you walk out to see...

Did you walk out weird or did something come up? You had to walk out? No.

You walked out to say, let me go see about this issue.

Oh, okay. So related to the work project. Yes. Okay. So you go, hey, I have an idea. Let me go to investigate a thing. Right. You leave the room. You go investigate the thing. You come back with new information about the thing you went to investigate. And when...

Not really. No. You didn't find any information because the person you needed to talk to wasn't there.

Okay. Okay. So there's another fourth party. It doesn't matter. No, that person doesn't. All right. That's irrelevant then. Yeah, that's irrelevant. So you come back into the room and when you walk in, there's... And what happens? Right when you walk in, it stops. Mm-hmm. I'm just trying to figure out how that is... Because if you were in the middle of a conversation about a work thing, here's what I think would happen.

Okay. Now I'm going from a dude perspective. Am I talking about three dudes? Or is this a team of three women? Is this a team of mixed gender folks? What are we doing? It's women. This is three women? Correct. This isn't going to work for me. Because if I'm...

Tell me how it would work in a dude situation.

If I'm in a conversation about a work thing and I go, hey, let me go look at a thing real quick. And I leave the conversation to go into a different room to look at a thing. And I come back and they're like... I'm immediately going to go like, what are you doing? Because I'm at a different level, I guess.

What do you mean a different level? Like I don't mind making a situation feel awkward for the sake of awkward. Right. If I felt like... If I walked back in and there was like a... And then stop immediately, I go, what was that about?

See, okay. This happened to me yesterday. Okay. And I went, I want to give you the benefit of the doubt and think that that's not about me at all. But everything inside me is like, why are you whispering about me?

Yeah, well, and there's a way to do it and be super awkward about it and be okay with that. Like going like, oh, you just quit talking about me when I walk back in?

So then I was like... Like you call out the behavior. I almost did. And then I changed my mind at the last second. And then they started talking about something else entirely.

And then I was like, well now... Not back to the work project. And now, yeah. And so then I went, well, now I'm too late. I can't be like, hey, remember when you guys were whispering? Let's go back to that. So the time... So what you do is go in today and do it.

No, because then that means that I'm the weirdo that's been thinking about it all day.

And that's what you say. You go, do you know how weird I am? I'm going to tell you how weird I am. I'm so weird yesterday after I went to get that information and came back.

I thought you guys were talking about me. It's not that weird. You guys surely weren't, right? Because you're adult women.

You don't have to go into so much detail. Okay. You just have to... You're like, you leave it on yourself. And you say, you want to know what's weird about me? All night long, I've been thinking about that. So let's clear the air. What was it? What were you whispering about me? What were you whispering?

And if they go, oh, we weren't. We were talking about... And you go, there was no one else in the office. You didn't have to whisper. Don't lie to me. You're right. And you just put your foot down. Lies. And you go, don't do it again. It's uncomfortable. Yeah, stop being weird.

Right. Don't do that. And if they go like, oh, no, we were talking about this thing, but we didn't want anybody to hear because we didn't know if that person you were talking to was here. And so we were going to find out this fourth party was involved. And maybe they were talking about that fourth party like, man, could you believe that fourth party? What a strange fourth party that is. It was not about that. It was surely about me. It had to have been. Okay. But why?

Maybe not. And the only way you're going to know is to confront it head on and go, hey, listen, all day, 24 hours, I've been sitting around thinking about this because it was weird. And it made me feel weird. Yeah, it made me feel bad. And you go, it may not even been about me, but I didn't like it. So...

No, because that's rude. That's what I'm saying. So you got to call out the behavior. I do have to call it out, but it's too, I feel like it's too late.

It's why you do the self, the self thing. And you say, I myself haven't been able to sleep about this. Like this is nuts. Oh, I slept just fine.

Nyquil. No, I didn't take any night. Well, good for you. No, I slept just perfect.

So you go, hey, I didn't lose any sleep, but I haven't been able to stop thinking about it.

But it's still weird. Yeah. And I still don't like it.

So let's not do that again. The only way to do it is to confront it head on. If you have a problem, just say it to my friends. Yeah, that's exactly what you do. You go, you got issues?

I'm right here. Yeah. You could even put that on a shirt. Yeah, say it to my face. You got something to say? We're adults, not middle schoolers. That's what I'm saying. You go, look, I know it's Wednesday and we're wearing pink, but we don't need mean girls up in here. Exactly.

And then you snap. I guess. I don't think I would do that in the dude situation. I would be like, what is happening here? I don't think I would do that, but.

I'm not going to do that either because that's not, I'm all talk and no action.

But maybe take it a little light.

Maybe just take it a little bit like, hey, you know what? You want to know a weird thing about me? A weird thing about me is I can't stop thinking about stuff. And I have been thinking about this interaction from yesterday, nonstop. So can you just tell me what's up?

Was it about me? And if they both going, no, no, no, you go, are you sure? Because this is your one shot to clear the air. Otherwise I'm going to be thinking about it forever. And I'm going to hold grudges and then you're both going to be dead to me. And just lay it out because that's what's really going on.

Okay. And then they go, I didn't realize it was that big of a deal. No, we just thought that it was cute. You were wearing a nice shoe. I don't know what they said. You know?

Just one nice shoe. Yeah.

You had on a nice shoe or maybe your shoe was untied and we thought it was silly, but we didn't want to bring it up.

Oh my gosh, getting fully of her shoe.

Or maybe they were like, she probably has too many sniffles to be in the office today, don't you think?

Actually, that might have been it. You know what I mean? Girl needs to go home.

Maybe we're going to need to get some, some, uh, Clorox wipes out to make sure we don't catch the disease.

Yeah, that girl is sick.

Yeah, it might have been something like that. Sickness all around.

Like you got up and went, I might have. And then they went, yeah, probably she shouldn't be here.

Or she's been blowing her nose too much. She got some bugs hanging.

Right. It could have been something. And that, again, still mean, tell me I got some bugs hanging.

Well, that's, that's ruder than anything.

That's a good way to lead in. Hey, listen, you want to know how weird I am? I've been thinking about how many bugs I had hanging.

I had none. What? I keep a clean nose. I know you do. Keep your nose clean. All right. Thanks for the advice, Josh. Are you going to take it? I will see.

Would you rather this or that?

Would you rather be followed by a friendly ghost or a clumsy zombie?

Friendly ghost. Why? Because I know all about Casper.

Yeah, I know you do. Casper's a friendly ghost. Casper's also kind of annoying. Why? Because he's. He's kind of like Luna. No.

And he just wants to keep you and follow you around.

I want to be followed by the clumsy zombie. Because I think that's cute.

Here's the, no, I don't think so. And here's the other part. The zombie still wants to eat your brain. Okay, fair point. The ghost is just like, what's up? Look at this cool thing I can do. And goes through the wall and comes back and you're like, that's neat.

Yeah, but that'd get old after a while.

Well, if they didn't only have that one trick. That's the only trick he's got. He's like, but watch this through the ceiling back down.

Also, he's a little bit creepy when he says that. Can I keep you?

That's weird. It's not creepy. Yeah, it is. Can I keep you? It's creepy. Hey, can I keep you?

It's a great line in movie history. I was going to say, your friendly ghost could also be helpful. The zombie you can't even talk to, all you're going to get is. Uh, and then again, just clumsily following you to try to eat your brain.

I think we could become friends after a while. I think he'd initially want to eat my brains and then he'd be like, I kind of like having it around, but he wouldn't say it like that. He would just go, and I'd be like, I don't speak zombie.

I would think I want to eat your brain every time a noise came out.

And then he would make like a heart shape with his hands. Yeah, I want to eat your heart. No. He'd be like friends. No. Yeah. No, he doesn't do ASL. He learned it. No, he didn't. Because he's my friend.

He's clumsy. He didn't learn ASL. He's not being like fed hot dogs to tide him over. Oh yeah, he is. I was thinking of a cheap alternative to brains and meat. And I thought, you know what's a good alternative? Hot dog. He'd be like, oh man. You can get a big box of hot dogs for pretty cheap.

This is not great, but it'll suffice. Because I'd rather be your friend than your friend. Don't have to feed my ghost. And then he'd stumble down the stairs. Ghost doesn't want to eat me. He'd be like, oh buddy, come on.

And can be helpful. Hey, did I leave that in the attic? Let me go check. Boop, boop, nope. Awesome. Thank you, friendly ghost. You see how helpful? Is that down in the basement? Boop, boop, yes it is. But see, they can't maybe tangibly move things. If they could, how cool. And if they could bring it through with them.

Can't. He's a ghost.

Would you rather this or that?

Exciting news yesterday. I became a great aunt for the third time. I know. You're a three times great aunt. Well, I've always been a great aunt. Well, I see. Like now it's official. I'm a great. That's my title now.

For the third time. For the third time. Your nephew had, well, your nephew's partner had their first baby. So congratulations. That's big.

It's big. And then I was looking at some photos yesterday that were sent to me and there's one of him holding his baby for the first time, a little girl. Right. And he looks a little bit terrified.

Now, there's a picture of me standing over, was it Beck? Yep. And there was like a diaper change thing going on. And I'm, there's the little clear bassinet thing, the whatever tub that the baby is in. And I'm standing over, over Beck and I've got my like hat on. And I'm kind of scratching my head going like, what is this?

Yeah. What is this? You got your hand behind your head like, oh. Yeah.

This is. What have I done? I'm responsible for this thing. Yeah. That's what this picture reminds me of a little bit. And it's not, he's not in the same posture or position or anything. Nope. He's just holding her, looking at her.

It's super, super sweet. But I just went, oh, he looks a little bit like, oh. And it could just be exhaustion. Like they were up all night in labor and he might just be totally tired.

Right. There was a text group going around as they were entering into labor. And I, somebody made a joke about, you know, is she doing okay and how's your pain? And I said, oh, you'll know pain. And I sent a picture of that husband's chair, the worst chair ever invented, that you have to sleep in for a night or two sometimes. And I said, you will know pain.

And here's what it looks like. And that chair's awful. So I can't wait to actually get a report back on how awful that chair was. Because he was like, I'm sitting in that chair right now. I went, I know, I know you are.

So sorry that it's so uncomfortable for you guys.

They could do better. The chair maker. I mean, they could make that chair. It reclines. Have you had to sleep in it? No. It doesn't matter if it reclines. It's an uncomfortable rock.

Yeah. Well, guess what? It's the whole process is uncomfortable for women too.

What are you talking about? You don't have to sit in that chair. You get a whole bed. What are you crazy? He looks so comfortable.

Get out. Get out right now.

Oh man, I was so tired after all that. I bet. I'm hanging out in that uncomfortable chair.

Poor baby. It was so hard for you. It really was. Another thing that happened, and I didn't tell you this, but they, um, they made him, when labor started to intensify a little bit, they made him sit down and put his head between his legs.

Was he going to pass out? Because he almost passed out. Yeah. That same thing happened to Josh. Every time. I think every time I went to like do any kind of blood work, and he were there at the doctor with me, they were like, oh, Betty, do you need some crackers? I know. They were giving me water and crackers and making me sit on the floor. Excuse me. I had a rough pregnancy. You don't understand.

Get out. Get out right now.

Every time you were going through something, I was too. Even worse. Yeah. That chair, the fainting.

I remember fuking. What? From mornings like this. And then you outside reading the what to expect when you're expected. Yeah. Oh, it says here your gums might bleed. Yeah. Get out.

I just wanted you to know what to expect when you're expecting. The book isn't going to read itself. You need to know. I was helpful.

You've been so supportive.

I was feeling so much sympathy pain. It was crazy. I'm very excited about the new baby in the family. That's really exciting. New babies are the best. And your sister is now a grandma three times.

Yeah, she is. She's so old. She's so old.

She has three grandkids and you have zero.

Yeah. Perfect. Yeah, she's old.

And her oldest grandchild is in elementary school.

Yeah, in kindergarten. Right. Because she's so old. Okay. She my older sister. Older sister.

Yeah. All right. Well, that's fun. Fun. You're going to have to tell her you said all this because she doesn't listen to the show.

No, she doesn't listen. And that's why I say it because...

Do you want me to like cut up this little part so we can send it to her? Sure. Do you remember the last time you said she was old? Yeah. We could send that part too because I'm sure she didn't hear that because she would have said something about it by now.

No, she was with me the last time I told her she was old because somebody asked if we were sisters.

And I said, no. Oh, that's right. She's my mom. But when you told the story on the show, you really went on. I did.

It was pretty happy. Hey, listen, I'm allowed to be a little bit mean in that area because... Because she's so old. Because she was old and she would always leave me out and she would hang out with her friends. And I'd be like, please just kind of hang out with you now. So she deserves this. Okay.

This is real little sister territory we're in right now. And I think we should probably wrap it up. Sure. Let's do that. All right. And that will be today's show tomorrow, Thursday already.

Witness day. I know. Isn't that crazy?

The tomorrow's already Thursday. I know. It's awesome. Yeah. Here we go. Like a day and a half from fishing. This is fantastic. We'll see you tomorrow. Bye.
