Full show transcript:
When you just want to turn on a TV show without having to think about anything or you just need something familiar, what's something typical that you put on?
I watch a lot of fly fishing shows for that reason. Because their nature, sometimes they have narration, sometimes it's just noise of people fishing. Is that relaxing? Oh, it's very relaxing. Yeah, that's where I consider that like my church. That's my escape.
That's my happy place. You're grounding? Yeah, that's my, yeah. Nature is my chapel.
Yeah, fly fishing is my prayers. I don't know. That sounds crazy. But that's for real. I really enjoy being in nature and grounding and putting my feet in the water and being hiking specifically about shows.
I know. Okay. And so getting a little slice of that through other people that have filmed and gone fishing and talking about it, same with hiking. People that go on long hikes and they'll just have like the sound of them like walking through nature and they're, you know, maybe talking about where they are or what they're seeing and stuff. I really enjoy that. And it's just completely background. Don't really have to pay attention, but it sounds comforting to me. I get you. The outside. The inside.
That is not on this list.
Yeah. That's because no one's weird like me. No.
I'm my own kind of weird. They did a ranking of the most relaxing shows based on here's the criteria. Okay. Genre, episode length, content rating and presence of frightening scenes or lack thereof. Lack
thereof. Yeah. It makes sense. Guess what the number one was? Uh, we'll do five and up. Uh, so there'd have to be, there's not going to be any hospital shows because those are stressful. There's not going to be any crime shows because those are stressful. So it's going to have to be like family type shows. Um, I don't know.
So friends was number six. Oh, okay. Then the office, the U.S. version. That makes sense. Okay. Then Pride and Prejudice, the 1995 BBC mini series.
That's the one you liked. Yes. That's the best. That's the only one. Okay. That's all right. That's fine. And then number three, Mr. Bean. Really? I'd have watched Zero, Mr. Bean. So I can't give a fair judgment.
There was a kid I used to babysit who loved Mr. Bean. What's that?
Rowan Atkinson. That's his name. Correct.
Number two is Seinfeld. Really? And number one, Bluey. Bluey is the best. Bluey is the best. Bluey is the best. Bluey is the best. Bluey is the best.
Seinfeld. I agree. Now, those are short episodes. Yeah. Which you would want, like, when they do the Bluey movie, that thing's going to be insane, first of all. Yes. But to be able to watch Bluey long form, a lot of people are just going to put that on. I know. A lot of people are going to be like, I'm just putting on the Bluey
movie and going to sleep or whatever. I haven't watched an episode of Bluey in a long time. I need to get back into that. If I was having a bad day, an episode of Bluey, instantly better. Yeah. It's either Bluey or a dance party in the kitchen.
Or dance party in the kitchen and then some Bluey or Bluey and then some dance party. Sounds great. Yeah. And then a snack.
Instantly turns your mood around. Yeah. A snack while you're watching Bluey. All right.
Even better. Nice. Well, that's a good list. I like that. Okay. There you go. Thanks for sharing. Let's start the show. Okay. All right. All right, all right, all right. It's not Friday. No, but it's a free Friday. Is it? Is that what we call it?
A free Friday? Yeah. Yes. Okay. Yep. Yes, we sure do.
When did we start calling it that? Just now. All right. That sounds good. What shoes are you wearing today?
My altars. Those are good ones. Yeah. Why? Is it running day?
No. Sneakers day.
Oh, bro. I was just looking. Oh, bro. I was just looking in my closet this morning. Uh-huh. I was looking for some pink shoes. Right. And I got two pairs of pink shoes, but I also was looking in my closet going, oh, I have a lot of sneakers. I really do have a lot of sneakers.
And you never wear.
You wear chucks. I wear the same kind of pair of chucks. I rotate between two pair of chucks. Yeah.
You've got some sneaks though.
I really do. Yeah. I just kind of forget that I have them. Uh-huh. I have a lot.
You should vary up your shoe wear.
I know. I've got Adidas. I've got Altras. I've got chucks. I've got Vans. Yeah. True story. Okay. Sneaker day. Yeah. I got sneaks on.
And you chose pink to match your sweatshirt? Yep. I am wearing a pink t-shirt today because we're filming a promo video this morning at like eight. Yeah. Okay. You better hustle. I know.
You better hustle. We got stuff to do. Yeah. Eight o'clock we're filming a promo video because October is breast cancer awareness month and coming up on, it's the 15th, right?
Yes. On that Wednesday next week. So a week from yesterday, it's Wear Pink Day. And so we're putting together a promo video to remind everybody to wear pink on the 15th, which is also a Wednesday, which is a Mean Girls reference because on Wednesdays. We wear pink. So next Wednesday, Wear Pink. And it's all just to raise awareness for breast cancer, you know, knowledge and education and early detection and all that stuff. So it's important as well as to honor, I suppose, people who have survived, celebrate with them and also honor those who may have passed due to breast cancer. So anyway, Wear Pink next Wednesday. There you go. We're wearing it today and we'll wear it next Wednesday.
It's a pink kind of month.
It is. It is. Anyway, that's why you chose Pink Sneaks. Yeah. I forgot I have somewhere, they're probably in my silly sock basket. I have some tall socks, running socks with big pink ribbons on the back. I forgot about those. Oh man. Tell just now.
You blew it. You blew it. I know. Too late. Too little, too late, as they say.
I just went with Sombas. I'm just wearing my black Sombas. I didn't want to wear the orange ones because I thought that's a clash.
It is a clash. I'm glad you didn't go with those.
I have a little bit of fashion sense. You do. I like it. Enough to know that orange shoes don't go with a pink shirt.
Do you have a pink hat? No. You should get one.
Okay. I could switch to, I have a white classy hat. I could wear that. Okay. That would probably work better for photos and stuff. I think so. Then my black and blue hat I'm wearing today.
And green. It's also green. Oh yeah, it's green under the bill. It's right. You're not feeling it? That's a little clashy. Green and pink, they rock together. Yeah, kind of. It's a little clashy for classy. Oh, is that right? Nice. I'm proud of that one.
You are? Yes. You should be.
Josh, have I got something for you? This is a good way to make $5,000. Is it quick? Yeah.
A quick 5K? Let's figure it out.
There is a hotel and casino in Vegas. Okay. And it's supposedly the oldest and most haunted hotel in Las Vegas. It's called the El Cortez.
The El Cortez?
They're offering to pay someone $5,000 to spend a weekend ghost hunting inside. Cool. I'm surprised that you say cool. I say cool, but you don't like this kind of stuff. What's it haunted with? Ghosts.
All right. They will provide all the ghost hunting gear. So you've got EMF meters. Great. EVP recorders. Okay. Flashlights.
Okay. And thermal sensors. The thermal sensors are so creepy. Then they set you free to explore the creepiest corners.
Okay. Searching for ghost activity, especially at night. And then you're just supposed to document your experience with photos and short videos.
Keep a journal. If you're interested, casino.org, the accepting volunteers all month, they'll announce a winner five days later. Five days later after what? I don't know. Oh, I see.
Let's see. They're accepting volunteers all month and then they'll announce a winner five days later. And that's when you'll start planning your trip and you'll need to have it happen within the next month.
The $5,000 prize includes $800 towards airfare and travel and $500 to cover food, drinks, and any other ghost hunting equipment that you might want. Okay. I'm surprised that you're down to do this.
It's a haunted hotel.
Yeah. Yeah. I know. Okay. It doesn't say... That's way different than like...
There are way worse places. Have you seen the shining? Okay. Yeah, what about it? That's not where this was.
No, I know, but that's a haunted hotel.
Here's what I learned about El Cortez. Okay, tell me. It is the oldest continually operating hotel in Casino in Las Vegas. It was the first major resort in downtown Vegas. It has served guests with a unique experience since it opened stores in 1941. It's not even that old. It opened in 1941. The hotel sold for $600,000 in 1945 to a group that include Bugsy, Siegel.
See? That's cool. It's a mob ghost. Yeah, it does. Between 52 and 57, the hotel and casino featured Pirates as the primary theme, going so far as to have the waitresses dressed in pirate costumes. Yeah, fine. Bro, you're going to have a fight between mob ghosts and pirate ghosts and you're not going to know what to do with yourself. I'll be fine. Who do you think would win a fight between a mob or a pirate? I don't know. Ooh, I think a mob.
I think mob too because you don't bring a sword to a gunfight.
Yeah, yeah. That's why. They got a Tommy gun. Oh boy.
Bugsy. Oh, but here's something interesting though. The following year, so in 1946, Bugsy opened the Flamingo on the Las Vegas Strip. So he bought it and then was like, yeah, but we're opening a new one. So, yeah, El Cortez, we got that anyway. I don't know. I'm not super spooked out by that.
Okay. Everybody's like potentially due to its age and its mob connection. There could be some haunted things or whatever.
Our daughter really loves to watch haunted things.
She watches these ghost hunting. And we always watch them with her. And I'm always like, they make it sound like, oh, we found something cool. And then you watch it and you go, yeah, nothing happened. That's what I'm saying.
They're just going to give me like a week in Vegas. Like, yeah, I'm going to be at El Cortez. Cool. I'm going to be at an old 1940s hotel. It's not that old. That's fine.
I mean, weird stuff happened in the 40s.
We accidentally stayed in a haunted hotel in Lava Hot Springs. And we didn't know it until the next morning and that we actually stayed in one of the haunted rooms. We didn't know. No.
We were fine. But I will say, remember, I couldn't fall asleep that night and I stayed up all night reading. Did you do that anyway? No, that's not true. I fall asleep like a... Now? Yeah. Not then. Okay, well.
Ever since then, actually. Now that you bring it up, huh? You do sleep better now.
Okay, well, go apply for this. You could get $5,000. Well, you sign up. All right, I will. Okay. Do you have to go alone or can you bring in guests? You read the thing. I didn't say anything about that. I'm sure you're not going alone. I'm sure you are going alone. No. They'll make you go alone. No, they're not. You don't do haunted things with partners? Yes, you do. No.
Every single ghost hunter show is multiple people. You don't do it alone. Alone. The only time you do it alone is when you lose a bet with that group and they're like, you got to stay in the haunted basement all night by yourself. Ew. Yeah. Spooky. Do we have to film it? Yeah. We have to make a whole YouTube thing about it?
You have to make short videos, it said. Okay, that's fine. Okay. Okay. Casino.org.
Go sign up. All right, I will. How's about some good news? How's about it? In Amarillo, Texas. Amarillo by morning. Yeah, Amarillo. Amarillo, if he has two Ls. Right. Anyway, a former motel there in Amarillo has been transformed into a safe haven for homeless men thanks to a charity group called Bridging the Gaps and a Boost from the local Rotary Club. It's a newly opened facility. It's called Charlie's Place and it offers shelter, support and a fresh start for those who need it most. Shane Jones, who helped lead the project, is thrilled by the progress and the impact that Charlie's Place will have on those in need.
He said, we have a hotel, we have therapy, we have dentistry, we have eye care. There's this thing that just completely taken off like nobody's business and it's awesome. That is awesome. So Charlie's Place is up and running, which is fantastic. I think what a great, great thing to help people get a reset. And the fact that you're bringing in services like that, how great. Yeah, that is cool. I just think that's fantastic. So way to go to Bridging the Gaps and then the Rotary Club in Amarillo. They've done a really cool thing.
So Charlie's Place, if you want to look up more information, search that out. It's good news. Yesterday, you were talking about being able to text to make appointments at the doctor. Yes. Can I text or use the app to also request a very specific prescription?
I don't know.
I would like to be prescribed the Swedish prescription. What is that? I don't want to tell everybody about it. Well, you just did. But I want it. Sweden has launched a wellness tourism initiative. They're calling the Swedish prescription. OK. And they're encouraging doctors to prescribe the Swedish prescription, which is travel to Sweden to improve mental and physical health. Come on now. Give me that prescription. Yeah, you still have to pay for it. Right, but it's a prescription. So does flex spending?
And it's a prescription. I see where you're going. You see what I'm saying? Flex spending, cafeteria. Insurance somewhere in there.
Anyway, it's there's a bunch of research from some different places that put together this plan. But what you do on this program, you do activities like sauna. OK, great. Check. Forest bathing.
Yes. Sounds great. Yes. Right. Viewing the northern lights. Um, OK. Attending music festivals to help reduce stress. Oh, OK.
Come on. This is supposed to also in addition to stress relieving and reducing, improve sleep, boost your mood. Yeah, of course it will. Support your heart health. There's this downloadable guide that doctors can use to recommend specific experiences, stuff from cycling, scenic trails to exploring museums and the ideas to treat travel, not just as leisure, but therapy.
It is therapy. That's what I'm saying. Because here's you'll need this and then in another six months you'll need a refill.
That's right. Yeah. That's exactly right. I'm going to need a refill twice a year of the Swedish prescription. Yep. So anyway, if somebody who knows somebody wants to help that happen, I would really like to be prescribed Sweden.
All, I have a doctor's appointment today. I'll ask him today.
Say, hey, you prescribed Sweden? Because we're in real need.
Because I need that. Right. I need some of that.
Yeah. There's a real, our family just really could use some Sweden. We need that Sweden prescription. That sounds awesome. Yeah. And he'll go, are you stressed?
Oh, yeah. How do I go? Look at my blood pressure. Yeah.
Sweetish prescription.
Come on, doc. Are you stressed? Yeah.
Yeah. That's what I'm saying. I also, I could use some sleep improvement and some mood boosting. So yeah. Yeah.
I don't need sleep improvement. I just need. You don't want to get better sleep? To sleep longer. I feel like my sleep is good. I just need to sleep longer. Then you have to go to bed earlier. I know, but I also just need to not wake up to go to the rest room every.
Well, hour. Maybe the Swedish prescription can help with that. Maybe. I don't know. Only one way to find out. It might have amazing benefits beyond what's listed here.
I bet it does. I bet you're right. Sweden. Here we come.
Hey, other places. Why don't you take a page from Sweden and also launch some wellness tourism initiatives that we can have prescribed by doctors. That'd be great. That'd be awesome. Yeah. Where else would you like to have a prescription from? Anywhere. Thailand. Yes. The Thailand prescription.
Thailand, Australia, Germany, France, Italy. That's a lot of Europe. Yeah. So a European one? Yes. Yeah. Just in general. Caribbean. Okay. Jamaica, Costa Rica. These are great. Yeah. Anywhere. I'll go anywhere. No, there's a few places I won't go. Yeah. Yeah. Like?
Iran. Oh, I see. Middle East stuff. You don't want Middle East prescription. No. I see. Yeah. That's true. You're right. Anyway, I want to go there. Me too. I want to go to Sweden. Me too. Let's make it happen. Call somebody. Do something. Talk to the doctor. Okay, I will. Let me know what he says. I will. I bet he doesn't know about it. He doesn't. Do you want to get the PDF? Take it into him? Go, hey, you really got to think about this. Check this out. Yeah. This is big news, doc.
Everyone's going to be asking you for this. Very true. People are going to be selling this prescription on the street.
Everybody, get in the point with your GP and get the Swedish prescription. We'll all go together.
I was looking at a calendar the other day and I got my dates all messed up. And the reason why is because this particular calendar had the week starting on a Monday, not a Sunday. And I hate when I get a calendar that has the week starting on Monday. So I wanted to ask you what day do you feel typically starts the week?
So Monday is the first day of the week, but Sunday is the first day of the calendar. Okay. Agreed. I've never lined up a calendar starting with a Monday.
Right. Me neither. And when they teach you the song in school when you're little, it starts with Sunday. I don't know that song, but that's fine. But that's weird. What's weird? That they would start on a Sunday. The song?
Yeah. Didn't you say the song starts on a Sunday?
Yeah. That's weird. Because that's the start of the week.
No, it's not.
What are you talking about? It's the end of the weekend. You just said. It's the start of the calendar. It's the end of the week. The week starts on Monday. No way, Brad.
Yes, Brad. The week starts on Monday. The weekend ends on Sunday.
Yeah, but the Sunday is the beginning of the week. No. Sunday, Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday.
No, I understand. In your song that you know. Yeah. And on a calendar, it starts on Sunday. Yes. But that's not how it works in society. It is how it works. In society, Monday starts the week. Monday starts Monday. Nobody is like, kicking off my week on a Sunday. Not one person.
It doesn't matter if society says the work week starts on Monday. Yeah. The actual week. No way. It's Sunday at the beginning.
No way. Yeah, way. No way, bro.
Yeah, I'm right. And you are wrong. No.
It's Sunday, the first day of the week. Let's look it up. Yeah, look it up. Whether the week starts on Sunday or Monday depends on cultural and geographical conventions. In the United States, many cultures and calendars consider Sunday the first day, often for religious reasons related to the biblical concepts, right? Of the seven day. But that would mean on the seventh day was rest, which is the seventh day, not the first day. So that's a contradiction in and of itself in that statement. If Sunday is the seventh day, it's not the first. Okay.
If you frame it in that context, then that would be Sunday is the seventh day.
Right. Right. That's what I'm saying. It's the end.
So why isn't it the last calendar day?
It is on some calendars that you don't like.
I don't like those calendars. And you yourself said that you don't like those calendars either. I don't either. So tell me.
On the calendar, Sunday starts the week on a calendar, on paper. In my world.
How does that make sense in your brain?
Just fine. I have zero problems with it. I have no issues with understanding that Monday is the beginning of the week. The work week. Of the week. It's the first day of the week. And Sunday is the end.
It's the last day of the weekend.
Interesting. So here's the real deal. The real deal is that there is no right answer. There is no correct answer to the question. It just depends on what you're basing it off of.
It just depends. Yeah, everyone's going to have a different view. A lot of people, I was just reading something that said a lot of people think that Sunday starts on Thursday because that's when NFL starts.
Okay, that's fine. When the Romans were in charge of things, they did an eight day week. Really? They got over it and went back to seven. What was the eighth day called?
I don't know. He started the week with Sunday. And then that was the day of rest and worship.
And then that's interesting. That was the first time it was called Sunday. And there was also a Monday, but I don't know what the other days were. Anyway, I'll have to do more research on that if I really want to. But ultimately, Sunday is the seventh day, not the first.
I just, I disagree with you.
It's the first day on the calendar. If I get a count. If I get a calendar that starts with Monday, it's dead to me in the garbage. I said on the calendar, it should start on Sunday. That's fine. When you're looking at it on a calendar, it makes more sense because that's what we're used to.
I know what you said. But if I had a planner, like a, like old school, like paper planner, I'd open it up and my week would start on a Monday and I would fill out what are my plans for Monday and then I'd go through the week. And then when I got to the weekend, Saturday and Sunday, we're sandwiched together. They weren't at the beginning. They were at the end of the week where they belong. The weekend.
So some might say that Saturday starts the week because it's the beginning of the weekend.
Sure. If you start on the weekend, but then it wouldn't be called the weekend. Would it? It's the end of the week. And Sunday is the last day of the weekend. And not the first day of the week begin. That's not a thing.
Get out of here with your logic. Get right on out.
What day starts the week? Come on. Sunday. Never.
We went to the grocery store last night and we had one request from our daughter to get a box of chips, like the variety bag of chips.
I saw it in the cart.
I said, what particular chips are you looking for? Because inevitably there's a chip in whatever bag you buy that does not get eaten, whether it's the sour cream and onion, the barbecue. I like the sour cream and onion. I like the barbecue. How come that we always end up with those uneaten then?
I guess I didn't know they were around. That's my guess. Okay.
I asked her, she said, I want Cheetos and I want cool, not cool ranch Doritos, regular Doritos, which kind of chips are those?
Do they have a box with those Nacho cheese Doritos?
Thank you. Yes, they had multiple varieties of those. But because I think those are probably two of the most popular.
So you only get like two bags of them.
I know. What is up with that? So then I'm looking.
Quit making me buy what I don't want to buy and let me buy what I want.
That's what I'm saying. I feel like they should do like a variety. You can make your own.
And then they'll be stuck with all the sour cream and onion and barbecue.
I see. I see. Stop making these boxes with chips that nobody wants. Right.
Just make one of just Doritos and Cheetos. Yeah. That's a great idea. Yeah. Chip company, figure it out.
Cause there was one that had sun chips in them. Nobody eats the sun chips in our house. You do, don't you? I do because I don't want it to go to waste. And so I go, guess I'm going to eat these.
It's never going to be my first choice, but I don't want to throw it away. I've brought chips here before because nobody's eating them at home. And so I go, I don't want these to go to waste.
Let's take them to work. The poor radio people will eat them.
And they do. I don't know. I don't know the solution. I just know that I am annoyed when I go and I go, they're not going to eat those. They're not going to eat those ones. And I'm not the only mother who feels this way.
Oh no. But you're not the only person who feels that way. I like chips, but I don't like the chips I don't like. What chips don't you like? Sun chips.
I know. That's what I'm saying.
I'm trying to think. Okay. So I'm looking at the flavor mix. Is that the one you went with? No, because this one has Fritos.
Oh, no, that's the one I went with, but nobody eats the Fritos.
This one has Fritos and I'm trying to see what else. The picture's all blurry. I'm going to have to go look at a different one. Does this one have a better picture? There you go.
Also, how come all of the chips sound the same? Doritos, Fritos, Cheetos.
Because the company Frito Lay decided that. So there's Cheetos Crunchy, Cheetos Puff, Sour Cream and Onion, Barbecue, Cheddar and Sour Cream, Fritos, Chili Cheese, Doritos, and Cool Ranch Doritos in this box.
I didn't get that one because I knew that nobody would eat those ones.
Which ones are not going to get eaten? The Sour Cream and Onion, the Barbecue.
And the Fritos, the Chili Cheese Fritos. Those are great. I love those too. That's a good chip. The kids won't eat those.
But that's the purple box. That's the box you got.
No, that's not what I bought.
The black box has a spicy Dorito in it. The regular Dorito, a lime-lazed chip, Funyuns, Fritos, Flavor Twists, Honey Barbecue.
No one eats those. They got to stop making those.
Flamin' Hot Crunchy Cheetos and Cheddar Jalapeno Cheetos and Salt and Vinegar. That's a good box. They call that the bold mix.
No, no one's going to eat that one. You know why? I'll tell you why.
Because nobody... We'll have a bunch of the lime-laze.
Nobody eats those Twists.
And they give you six bags of those.
Stop making those. No one eats those. I brought some of those to work. I couldn't even get the work people to eat them. Poor radio.
People wouldn't eat those. All right, this one has the original ruffles. You get six bags of those.
Just original? Yes. Just plain? Plain ruffles. Who wants those? I do. Why? Because they're great with pork and beans. Oh, Josh. Get out.
Fritos original. Lay's classic potato chips, just the yellow bag of Lay's. You know, that one. Yeah, gross. Crunchy Cheetos. Nobody wants those. Doritos and sour cream and onion Lay's. That's that box. I just don't know which one you got. I thought it was the purple one.
Well, I think it is the purple one with the sour cream and onion and the barbecue. Yeah, the one you just complained about. I think that actually is the one I bought. I'm looking at that box. Yeah, that's the one I bought. Yeah. I know. Because I stood there looking at all of these chips going like.
It's not enough bags. That thing has 18 bags of chips in it. And you get four Doritos and four Cheetos. No, you get four Cheetos and three Doritos. That's only seven bags that she asked for. I want all 18 to be nine of those and nine of those.
That's what I'm saying. Yeah. Please just let me make my own box of chips.
I get it.
So that I can put in however many of the things that I want. Yeah. They don't do it that way. Well, and I asked her, I said, isn't it just easier so I don't have waste if I just buy a bag.
And then you use a sandwich bag.
And she said, I don't want to put them in a sandwich bag.
Well, I'll do it for.
I think that's just not cool.
Oh, it looks budget. Yeah. Guess what? I'm on a budget.
I don't like to waste food. Guess what?
Well, you're gonna have to eat those barbecue ones.
You're gonna eat every bag of chips.
All 18 of them. You bet. After you finish the seven you like, you got nine to go. You have more bags that you don't like than bags you do. I know. And there's cool ranch in there. Gross. I like those. Worst chip ever. Wrong. Stinks.
Tastes bad. The twist, the barbecue honey twist. Stop making. I've never even tried those. Yeah, because they're gross. Stop making them. All right.
She's fired up.
Answer me this. If you're in a room and you know the people in the room, whether they're your co-workers or a family member and somebody leaves their phone in the room and walks out and then their phone rings, do you answer it? No. I don't. Yeah, I don't either.
No, I'll yell down the hall or something. I'll be like, hey, your phone's ringing. I have no business answering that phone.
Right. Or when they come back in, you say, oh, your phone was ringing. Right. This happened yesterday. A co-worker.
Did you get in trouble for not answering it?
No, but a co-worker's phone was ringing on her desk. She stepped out of the room. Another co-worker answers it. That's weird. I know.
Because you have no idea who's on the other end. I mean, it says, okay, here's the thing. All right, a cell phone, like if you left the room and I get, we're married, that's a little different. That is different. Your mom is calling. I will answer the phone and go, hey, what's up, Linda?
Yeah, that's different. You and me, that's different. Can you even imagine answering the kids' phone? Oh, that would be awesome.
I think it'd be great.
No one calls them. No one calls them.
They don't call each other. But if I had like one of my, like one of the dudes around here, if their phone was ringing and I looked at it and it was like, Like their girlfriend or their wife or like their mom, how fun. If it says mom and I go, hey, what's up Jade's mom?
Would you pretend to be them or would you be yourself?
I would be myself. I would say, this is Josh. What's up Jade's mom? And then they go, what?
That would be off-putting because it's not a public line. It's a personal cell phone. If I'm calling somebody and somebody else answers, I'm going to be like, no.
I'm like, he left his phone sitting here and disappeared.
I'd hang up immediately. I'd be like, hang up. You would? Yes.
That's hilarious. Not who I wanted to talk to. I'm out.
No, I would probably just say something weird like, oh, oh, I was trying to call. Yeah, I know.
I know you were. It's why I answered. He's going to be right back.
Now you got me all out of sorts. Now I don't know what I'm doing. I think that's fun. Here's the other problem though. It's very rare that people leave their phone just sitting around. Very true. Especially our kids. I think it would be awesome to answer our kids' phone. No one calls them. No one calls them because they all just text.
But also it's rare that they don't have their phone on them. Hmm. Hmm. Yeah. Okay. Hey, what's up? Bex mom. Hey, Bex mom. What's going on? What do we want to talk about? What do we want to do?
Yeah. What's up? What's the plan? Where are we meeting up? What's the skinny? Yeah. And they be like, what is happening right now? What are you doing? I'm like, we're at the house. What's your ETA?
I think we have a good enough relationship with our kids' friends that it wouldn't be a big deal if we answered.
No, it would be a fun
experience for everyone involved except for our children who would be like, I can't believe you answered my phone. How embarrassing. But I think all of our kids' friends would be like, ah, hey, what's going on? I think they would like to talk to us. Yeah.
Is that what you think? You'd like to talk to us, wouldn't you? I bet you would.
I'd be like, tell me what's going on. Like who's the crush? What's happening? Oh, is that right? Tell me all the dish.
Yeah. What's the, what's the deets? Give me the 4-1-1.
Now, I kind of want you to answer a girlfriend call for one of the dudes down the hall.
I think it would be hilarious. Hey, what's up? No, you're not talking to who you think you are.
But again, give me the dish. Yeah, but what's the deets? Tell me something embarrassing. Spill the tea.
Gross. I don't want to know. No. I will, I will not be doing that because that sounds like- It's weird. Yeah, it's way too weird.
It's weird to answer somebody's phone. It's way too awkward.
This is my- I mean, even just touching someone else's phone feels like an invasion.
I agree. Like sometimes somebody will hold you to say, and do a phone and say, look at my picture.
No, I don't want to hold your phone.
I know. Why is that so weird?
I don't know. Because it's their companion. Yeah. I don't want to hold it. It's weird. You can.
Thanks, though. Yeah, you just swipe for me. Yeah. I don't want to touch it. I'm good. There is an app on my phone called Keep Notes.
Yeah, I have that too. It's a Google app.
It is. Comes with all the Google phones. Okay. And I use it pretty regularly. I write down all kinds of stuff. This is where I write down our show notes.
Yeah, same. This is where I write down Christmas present ideas. This is where I write down grocery lists. This is where I write down fun ideas that I have for date and night. I'm just looking at all of my different notes that I've gotten here.
So when you scroll through your notes, how long is it?
Okay. This is what I'm going to talk about because it was very, very long. Was. Was. Okay. Because here's what would happen. Somebody would tell me about a book recommendation and I would write down the book or a movie or anything that I wanted to read and I would write it down. And it got so long and it wasn't like I just kept one little, like, what do I want to say?
What are these individual pieces called? Like one, it wasn't just a category that I just had books and I would just keep putting books in there. I would create a new category every time somebody mentioned a book and it was ridiculously long. So long that I was like, I don't even know what that means because I wouldn't even write down if it was a book or a movie or anything.
I see. So the other day I said, I've got a little extra time on my hand. I'm going to organize this. And I started going through and making a list on my computer, like transferring all my notes to the computer. Why? I moved list to list.
Okay. Can I ask why?
Yeah, because I wanted to organize it a little bit better.
Okay. But now you've removed them from mobile access. Okay.
I know. And here's the thing. I got so overwhelmed with it that I finally just was like, I'm just going to delete this. And so I just started deleting stuff. And now I'm having a little bit of
like, what did I get rid of?
What did I? Yeah. What am I missing? What did I delete?
Well, I'm sure it's all sitting in your trash, isn't it? I don't know.
In the moment, I'm sure it is. I was like, no, I don't need this. I'll never look at this again. I haven't looked at it for years.
Notes and trash are deleted after seven days.
Oh, I still have time. Well, how do you find your trash?
You go to the little hamburger and you go to trash. That's it. It's not tough. It's just like every other app.
Oh no. I should probably have just...
So here's the thing. What's the thing? When you scroll through your notes now, how many... Look how short mine is. It's this long. Oop. That's it. Okay. Mine is this. Whoops. Oh, yours is way long, dude.
Bro, that's way shorter than it was. You had to scroll twice. Yeah, I know.
But before that, it was like... Mine is like, I scroll once. It stops. It could keep scrolling, but it's like, no, I don't need that much thumb power to scroll to the bottom.
That's what I'm telling you. This is much better than what it was. It was insane before.
So next question I have is... What's the one in my trash? One, I guess? I don't know. It's a McDonald's order that I wrote down so that I could order it in a drive-thru.
That's what it is. That's the one in my trash. Here's what I have on here. I have Scoutmaster Minutes that I've written. I have the little note thing that I wrote for Stella that is in her little box. I have that because I wrote it on here. Oh.
Stella was our dog. I have some geocaching notes from different puzzles I've solved, different coordinates. Pretty cool. Okay, look at... Here's the show notes one. And all I have on here is Shark Week on Discovery Chum Chopper.
Well, delete that because you never use it because I'm the one that brings all the... Hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, settle. Slow down. Okay, look at my trash though. I wasn't done. When I scroll the trash.
Holy cow. Two, three, four.
Whoa. That's how many was in the regular one. That's what I'm saying. That's what I'm saying.
I have fishing notes for different places I've gone fishing. I have a couple of different podcast ideas that I've been working on. I have some menu information, apparently. Okay. Anyway, I've got real important stuff here. You do. That's what I'm saying. You really do.
I've got more fishing stuff and then more notes. Yeah, that's it. It's not even that much. I even have a list here of who was bringing what to a camp out that got canceled. So, you know, real important notes.
Well, I'm looking at all the stuff in my trash that I threw away that I was like, oh no, I threw it away. None of this is important.
Have you ever looked at it on a computer? Yeah. You've looked at keep on a computer. No.
I didn't know you could look at it on a computer.
Keep.google .com. That's going to change your whole life. Yeah, it is. Yeah, because then you can type them on a computer. I know. I didn't know.
That would have made it so much easier to organize everything. Keep.google. I feel like a really old person right now.
Yeah, you want to write that down on an index card so you can log in later. Or you know what you can do is just hit the little nine dots thing and just go to keep. It's in there. Same way you get to drive and everything else. It's all there. So, it's part of the Google suite.
Cool. I'm still cool. I'm still young and in touch.
I know. I know.
I've got some random questions for you. What are they? Random questions. No. Have you ever seen like there's these ads for these card decks that you can get. It's like a game that you can play and it's like, I don't know, get to know your spouse or.
Okay. Is this like the one you found when we were staying at the tree house? Yeah. And then you started asking questions and they were just like conversation starter questions.
Okay. Yeah, I know what you're talking about. So these are just a couple that I found. It was just an ad and they had like a couple of, what do I want to say? Example cards. Thank you. Okay. If I went missing for a day, where would you check first?
If you were not at home. Yes. So you're not at home and you're missing. Where would I go to find you? Would you have gone home to your family? Is that right? Would I look in Burley or would I look in Meridian at your friend's house or in West Valley City at your other friend's house? I think those are probably the three places I would check. You either went to your family, but it'd be weird that you didn't tell me. In any case, it'd be weird that you were just like gone. I'm out of here. Yeah. Okay. But if you were just in town.
Yes, just in town. Let's go there.
Where would I find you if you're just in town? Flowers, somewhere with flowers. You'd be browsing through some stuff like that. That's nice. I'd be like, you're stuck at the nursery. What are you doing? You've been here all day.
Leave me alone. I'm looking at the pretty flowers. Go away. Yeah. If someone asked what I'm definitely not good at, what's the first thing you say? Jump. You're not a great jumper. Not a strong jumper.
That's it.
That's the top of the list. That's accurate. You're great at everything. Not strong jumping. I'm not great at everything. I'm not good at anything.
No, you're, yeah you are. Jumping's not it though. I love watching you try. You got a low vert, is what I'm saying. When it comes to hoop height, we should probably get the little Fisher price one so you can dunk it.
I don't know. I guess when everybody was teaching everybody outside to jump when we were little kids, I missed that. You were busy climbing the rope.
You missed jumping class because you were climbing the rope.
That is rude. How dare you. If I randomly set you, I just did something stupid. What's your first guess?
You accidentally deleted a whole bunch of stuff off your phone or you missed a turn while you were driving.
I wouldn't have texted you for that. It would be like, I need you to fix this.
Yeah, that's most, it very much would be like, I don't know what I did, but I need you. I know you know how to undo it.
Please help. So either a home improvement thing or a computer thing. It would be that.
Yeah, it'd be a, I thought I could handle this on my own, but I couldn't fix it.
Like I, something happened in my car, help.
Yeah, but you wouldn't say you did something stupid to the car. That's true. That's why it would be like I was clicking buttons and I pushed the wrong one and now all of my screen is turned sideways.
How do I fix it? Yeah. And I go, well, we're going to have to look that up real quick. I'm going to Google that for you and then I'm going to tell you the answer.
Do you know that every time I go to the gas station, I have a diesel, my car takes diesel fuel. I've had that car, how long?
I mean years. At least 10 years maybe. Enough long, long enough to pay it off.
And it's a diesel. And every time I go to get gas, I have to tell myself as I'm getting out of the car, get diesel, don't get unleaded. Don't get unleaded. Don't get unleaded. That's fine. Because I'm so afraid of forgetting to put the wrong, the right.
You're going to put the wrong gas in.
So if I did one day. Green handle. Green handle. Not chant to myself. I would call you immediately.
We could get a sticky note in there just as green handle.
I've never forgotten. Not once, but I'm so afraid that I will one day just absentmindedly just.
Not grab the green handle.
And when, if I ever do get a different car, I'm going to pick the green handle. It's going to be a regular unleaded fuel. And I'm going to be like, Oh, gotta put my diesel. Cause that's just force of habit now. That's what's really going to happen. What happens if you put the wrong fuel in your car?
Bad stuff. Really? Oh yeah. You have to pump the tank out. Oh. You have to get that gas out before you can start your engine.
Oh. Don't do that. I chant every day. Every day? Well, whenever I get gas.
Get diesel, get diesel, get diesel. Okay. What else you got?
That was it. Those were the only examples they gave me before I have to buy the game. I see.
Those are good. Those are good conversation starters. I like that. That's fun. Thanks, Josh. Yeah. I'm going to work on my jumps. How? I don't know. Teach me. Okay. You got to envision all of your power getting like a spring. Like you're going to compress it and then you're going to explode. Explode. Yeah.
Yeah. You tried to teach me that method before. That doesn't work.
It did work. You got good vert. Better vert. I'd say we improved it by at least 50 to 75% of your vert. Whoa. Yeah. We got you off the ground. What day was that? A while ago.
There has been some instances where I've been in the car with Emory. And you are outside of the car and either you're walking funny or you're doing something. Walking funny. Not walking funny.
What does that mean? You're just walking. Why funny? Do I walk funny?
No. I don't even know why I said that. But she'll have to look over and she'll say, oh, look at dad. And I'll be like, oh. And then I will say, he's so cute.
I just love him. So I, and there's been multiple instances of this. See how nice I am. Yeah. You said I walk funny.
No, listen. So the other day you were outside of the car and that thing happened and I said, oh, hey, does that ever happen on the reverse where I'm outside of the car and you'll be looking at me and say, oh, she's so cute. I love her. And Emory goes, she was quiet for a minute. And then she was like, I don't want to hurt your feelings. How do I tell the truth? But also say it in a nice way. And she just was quiet and goes, no, not really. No. Okay. First of all, it's not personal.
I am not outward with my emotions about you. So also it doesn't come up. Which does that even mean? She doesn't look over and go, oh, look at mom. And then I go, oh, she's cute. I would never say that. And it's not because you aren't. It's because I don't say that.
I'm not vocally outward with my internal emotion. I don't go, oh, no. It's not that you aren't cute or that you aren't impressing me or attractive or anything else. I look over and I go, oh, come on. Look at that lady. But I don't say it.
Here's the challenge then. This is just going to be a game between the two of us. It's going to gross her out. I know. So the next time you say that and see how she responds and then I want to see if she tells me. It's just a secret.
Because here's, here's the thing that like I've done that you got a hot mom in the past and both the kids are like gross. And I'm like, sorry, it's the facts.
So I've done that. And they hate it. They do. And they're like, I wish you wouldn't put your emotions outward. Maybe keep that to yourself. So yeah, no, it's not the same. It's a completely different thing. Okay.
But challenge, the challenge is when I'm out of the vehicle, you do that. And then we'll see, we'll see one.
I have to have someone in the car with me. It has to be Emery. Okay. Because she knows that this has happened between the two of you.
Correct. All right. So yeah, she has to be in the car. You have to say it out loud to her and then I want to see what she says.
What if I switch it up and I go, look at that dork. Like look at her.
I know. Here she comes. I know. She agrees and she's like, yeah. Yeah.
Weirdo. And then later on she's like, dad called you a dork. He looked over and saw you and was like, what a weirdo. Why'd I pick that one?
There was a whole sea of fishes. You're wrong. I'm not outward with my emotion.
Yeah. It's in my brain. It's where it stays in my heart and my brain.
Maybe you should tell people sometime. Tell them what? Tell them your emotions. Tell them your, say your inward emotions out loud. Outside? Yes. Bring my inside emotions outside? Yes. What?
Crazy? People might like you for that. They might appreciate the fact that you're saying things out loud. Some people don't want to hear it. Well, say only say nice things. Don't say the mean things. Just say the nice things.
I go, I've been told to bring my inside emotions outside. There's a warrant in you. And then it just swells up and.
No, boss. Yeah. And I go, blah. And they go like, I really wish you wouldn't have said that. Well, I go, me too. But I was told, insides out.
No more insides in. So there's that. Okay.
Don't forget. Write it down.
That will do me no good. You have a challenge. Writing it down? On what? Where? On a tablet? What?
I don't know. How are you going to remember to do this?
I'll remember. You won't. You forget. Okay. Here I come. I'll remember.
You might remember.
Don't worry about it.
Okay. I'm excited. I'm excited to hear what she says. Good challenge. Nobody tell Emory. Okay. Our dog. You call her Luna the wonder Jack Russell.
Your best friend, your shadow, your pal, your companion.
My squire. I call her my squire.
I like that you call her your squire. I think that's funny.
Except a squire typically helps you with stuff. She doesn't really help with anything. She just gets in the way. What's her deal? What do you mean? What's her deal? What's her deal? What's her deal with the dog? Oh, she's obsessed with lights.
I know that about her. And I have five pumpkins that have lights in them. That's right.
They're plastic pumpkins, but they have shapes carved into them. Correct. And they light up.
Yeah. And they have like a color changing LED. They're very cool. They're very cool. She, for some reason, decided that she was going to turn them into one of her toys. Yeah. And she started just pushing them around.
Which is hilarious to me. We found out that she could push things around when we were staying at an Airbnb. We went to a BSU game in Boise. I wasn't feeling well.
I was trying to get some rest because I wasn't feeling so hot. And it was the loudest thing I've ever heard in my life. And I've heard some loud stuff, but she found this hard egg toy and she uses her two little paws and puts them on the egg.
She pushes it forward and just pushes it all around. So you just hear this,
through the house as she's pushing this egg around. And then she'll pick it up and then she'll drop it and you're clonk, clonk, clonk. And then clonk. So that's when we found out she could push things. And then now she does it to all kinds of stuff.
Yeah. Including plastic pumpkins with lights in them. And she
pushes them all around the living room. And she'll push them around and like look for the lights. Like, oh, she'll look on the ceiling. She'll look on the ceiling. And then she'll attack the lights when they hit the floor. She's crazy. She is crazy. She pushed them around so much that I was like, just you tried to stop her.
And I said, no, bro, she's, she's activated, like leave her alone. Cause if she's busy doing something, then she's not bugging me. But then you later decided you wanted to not have her push the pumpkins around. And you now have let her push the pumpkins around. So now she's like, I get to do this. And then you're like, no, don't touch the pumpkins.
I know she's, I'm sending her mixed signals. I get it. I do. But I got mad because she lost all the batteries. Some of them don't have the cases that hold the battery in.
And so now the batteries, some of the batteries are missing. Where are they? I have no idea.
Probably under the piano. Probably. So some of the batteries have fallen out. And then there was, I could only find four before going to bed last night. I was like, I don't even know where that pumpkin went. I looked under the couch.
I found the pumpkin. But I looked under the couch. It was behind the couch. It wasn't under it. It was behind it.
But it's not like it goes all the way to the floor.
No, I don't know why you couldn't see it. That's where it was. I don't know what to tell you. That's exactly where I found it.
She's crazy. That dog gets nuts.
I know. I've met her.
It's a pretty fun game though. I do enjoy watching her push those little pumpkins around because it's pretty cute.
I had a sneeze. I don't know why that happens.
It's not just going to be one.
Yeah, it is. I feel great. Okay. Weren't you keeping track of my sneezes at one point?
I was supposed to. Because you said that you only sneezed. Like once a week. That was it. Oh, that is so. I forgot I was going to count them. I can't believe you let me forget.
Oh, it's not my job to remind you about these things.
I don't even know how to keep a reminder. I can't put that on my phone.
I mean, me sneezing should be enough as a reminder because you were like, it's ridiculous. You sneeze a ton and all that. You know? Yeah, I do know. Cool.
Okay. It's already the ninth. Yeah. But you've sneezed more than once already this week. You had a sneezing fit just the other day. I don't remember.
I just sneezed once for the first time just now.
You have to be honest. Why? Because it's part of the.
No, you're tracking. Not me. One sneeze so far in the month of October. That was it just then.
Wrong. You're a liar. Pretty sure. Liar. Um, so what are we going to do about these pumpkins?
Oh, nothing. We're going to find the batteries and then we're going to put them in them and turn it on again tonight and watch her push them around. That's what's going to happen. This is our life now.
That's all I can tell you. Yeah. She gets real excited when you start walking around, plugging stuff in and turning on lights, which is she's like, ah, it's pumpkin pushing time.
You're coming all the lights.
Yep. And she gets very, very excited about pumpkin pushing time.
I'll take some video.
If I remember. It is hilarious. And then, yeah, look, look, look, look, look, where's the lights? Where's the light? She's crazy. And she needs a haircut. Have you seen her?
Yeah, I know. It looks like she's wearing pants. Yeah. She's, she's out of control. She looks like a little old man who hasn't trimmed his eyebrows.
She's wearing those. They make those chaps that they're like white furry chaps. She's wearing those on all of her legs. She's crazy. Anyway, we got to do something with that dog. Turn on the lights. Let her go.
That's what I do. That's the plan. She's your buddy. Keep her occupied.
It is. Would you rather this or that?
Would you rather turn into a werewolf at midnight or a bat at sunrise?
Did he turn into a bat at sunrise? That's who. What do you mean? Okay. I thought he, I thought he turned into a bat to travel, but he had to be like in his coffin at sunrise.
I don't know. I don't know the history of it.
Because the werewolf turns into the man turns into the werewolf at a full moon. But Dracula turned into a bat to leave the castle to travel around. Okay. And then he would transmorph back into a human. Transmorph. Yes. Good word. And then back into, well, a vampire human to be welcomed into a house and then bite the neck. You know, all that. So the question is, would I travel as a bat? No, let's just say we do.
Or have to sleep in a coffin at night. No, no, no, no. That's not, that's not even close to what I'm asking. What are you asking? I'm asking, would you rather transmorph, as you say. Good word. Into a werewolf or a bat? I'm going to pick a bat.
You know why? Why? Echo location?
Yeah.
Is that why? Obs. Yeah. You've always wanted to be like a submarine.
One, you can fly to, guess what? What else? If you're a werewolf, what happens to all your clothes? I guess that's true.
They rip. You turn into a bat too. Yeah. You have none because they will be big on a bat and then you will fly as a bat. And then when you transmorph back into a human form, well, then what? You have to like be, that's a good question. Because your clothes don't transmorph with you.
Okay. I just looked up the definition of transmorph.
Is that the word? Oh. It's most commonly referred to a medical image registration software.
Transmorph. That's not, it doesn't mean what you think it means. Oh, hold on. Yes, it does. Thank you very much. Multiple definitions.
Yes. To change shape or form. Yeah. Transmorph. Okay.
Yeah. It checks out. Yeah. Thanks. Okay. Bat or werewolf? Werewolf. Werewolf.
Why? All because of the, who? Doesn't that sound cool? Nope. Whatever. How? And people like a, whoa, there's a wolf out here. And then I go, I'm a werewolf. Get it right. Cause I'm also a man. See. So I can correct them. I could, I could be the werewolf that goes around correcting people that don't know who I am.
Fun. I'm a werewolf. Get it right. That sounds fun. Good, good pick. Would you rather this or that?
You and I have both played some video games in our day. Right? Like you've, you've, you've played some Nintendo. Yeah. You've, if you ever, I know you have, but have you like old school, conquered a game? Yes. Like I know we, Donkey Kong. You conquered Donkey Kong? Yeah. No. Excuse me. It's a never ending game.
That means I conquered it. No. Yeah, it does. No.
If you get the levels just get harder and harder and harder and harder and harder until you fail. No. Yes.
There's a point where you get to put your initials in. Yeah. When you get a high score. Second game. Conquering. Second game. Excite bike. You didn't conquer Excite bike. What are you, what are you doing this to me?
Because it's not a level game like that. Listen to me. No, I won't. Mario is a game you can conquer.
I did conquer that one. You did. Yes. What? Why don't you believe anything I say? Listen to me right now. When I tell you that I stayed up all night with my roommate in college once and we conquered all three of the original Super Mario Brothers. We did one, two and three. Yeah. Oh yeah. And we didn't use warp. So take that.
Just because you hate yourself?
No, because we wanted to prove to ourselves that we could. Okay. That's fine. So don't come at me with like slow your roll. You did. Slow your roll.
I will not. Listen up. There is a guy. He's a YouTuber. His name is Kurt J. Mack or something like that. I'm probably saying that wrong. You are. But that's how you spell it. Kurt J. Mack. How would I say that any other way? I'm just mad at you. Okay. Well anyway, he has been playing Minecraft for about 15 years.
Again, not a game that you can finish.
Open world, right? Yeah. I agree. Well, he's been walking around this game for 15 years. He reached an area of the game that very few have ever seen without cheats or mods. His journey is called the Far Lands or bust marathon sub-a-thon.
It began in 2011. And over the weekend, he finally reached the Far Lands, which are estimated to be more than 12 and a half million blocks from the center of the Minecraft world. So he's been walking for 15 years on a live stream on YouTube to get to this Far Lands. And he walked there.
That sounds fascinating. Okay.
Adding to the impact of this adventure, thanks to viewer donations, the Far Lands or bust series raised $525,000 for charity. Okay. That's cool. Over 15 years.
That's nice. I'm glad something good came of that. Yeah. Here's a hot topic. What is it? Minecraft is boring.
That's not a hot topic. That's a hot take. What did I say? Hot topic. Here's a hot topic. Video games. Go. That's a topic. Here's a hot topic. Minecraft is boring. That's an opinion. That's a hot take. You see the difference? Yeah, I do. Okay. Good. Anyway, I'm pretty impressed. That's a lot of devotion to one thing.
I mean, that really is a lot of devotion. Am I impressed? Not so much.
I'm impressed. He also raised over half a million dollars.
That's impressive. I do enjoy that part, but I, oh, boring. That's not that impressive. Walking in a video game. I'm not trying to be a naysayer, but I don't know. That's not really impressive.
It is impressive because it's 12 and a half million blocks away.
Just walking in a video game.
Yeah. That's right. It's not that impressive. To the Far Lands. It's not impressive. He walked to the Far Lands. Make you walk to the Far Lands and see how you like it. It's impressive.
It's a long way. You know what's more impressive? What? Walking to Mordor.
Oh, one does not simply do that. And that is how we're going to end the show. Have a great day. We'll be back tomorrow on your Friday. See you then. Bye. Bye. Bye. Bye. Bye.
