Full show transcript:
Did you know they opened a garden in Felton, it's called Felton Green, where they have dedicated a section for the late great Freddie Mercury. Aw. I think it's really super cool.
I love that. And Brian May and Freddie's sister, her name is Kashmira, they were on hand last Friday in London for the dedication of the Freddie Mercury Memorial Garden. It's very cool. There's a plaque, there's a pair of cherry trees that were donated by Japanese fans, a rose bush that was supplied by his sister. There's an eco cabin intended as a hub for local residents. And the plaque notes Mercury's connection to the area. His family immigrated to London from Zanzibar in 1964 to escape violence of the revolution against the Sultan of Zanzibar.
I know, right? Thousands of ethnic Arabs and Indians were killed in this whole thing and they moved to Felton, which is 13 miles west of central London. And now there is a garden in that area dedicated to Freddie Mercury, which I think is really sweet.
I like that. Yeah, I thought that was really kind of a cool story. He was only 45 when he passed away. I didn't know that.
Freddie. I knew he was young. I just didn't know it was only 45.
It's crazy. So, yeah. Anyway, now if we ever make it over to England, we've certainly got to stop by and check out the Freddie Mercury Memorial Garden. Oh, Freddie. I know, very cool.
Miss you, buddy. Shall we start the show? Yeah, start it. Good morning. Oh, hey, oh, hi, hello. You want some big news? Whoa, big news bright and early? Yeah, sure. Okay. Earlier this week, NASA announced their latest class of astronauts and for the first time ever, there are more women in the class than men.
Hey. Six women, four men made the cut. We've got more female astronauts than men for the first time ever.
Let's go. I think that's big news. That is big news. That is big, exciting news. Smartypants astronauts.
I know. Our daughter is very into math. She has stated that she would like to pursue a career in math, which I think is awesome. She's thinking about NASA or INL or something mathematical, which I think is great. I think she should continue to pursue that. I think that's really awesome. Good for her. Yeah, same.
Yeah. You're saying good for her because math. Because math.
People who are good at math, I'm always in awe by because I just don't get it. Okay. It's just numbers. I know.
In a certain order. I know. There's patterns and it's all math never changes and it's all the same and it's easy. I got in trouble yesterday. I said something that was pointed out to me is not right. I said, well, the math isn't math. And somebody said that saying is wrong because math always maths. Math will always work.
Not if I'm doing it. The person doing the math might not be able to handle it. The math will always just be one and one is two. And that's a fact.
So, if the math isn't mathing, what's happening is the person doing the math is doing it incorrectly. Oh, no. Yeah. No, I'm going to blame it on the math. Okay.
This math is not working. That's what I'm always going to say. It's never going to be my fault. Right.
I'll tell you whose fault it is. Oh, yeah? Sasquatch? No.
It's all of my teachers along the way that never really helped. All right. But did you ask for help? No. Yeah. So, there's that. There is that.
There is that. They didn't see you struggling and go, this one needs extra tutoring. We should probably help her. But she didn't ask. So, I guess we'll just let her go into the math abyss.
Her whole life. Here I am in the math. She'll be going, math. Always. Forever and ever.
Yeah. Who else is in the math abyss? Raise your hand. It's just you in here. Just solo. Oh.
Well, in here, other folks could have risen their hand. I hope so. I'm sure you're not alone in the math abyss. Are you scrolling or something over there? Yeah.
Why? You can hear it? Yeah.
If I do it this way? Yeah. Um. Quit it. I'm scrolling because I can. Quit it.
I always do. Some sort of fidgety thing. Yeah, it is. It happens to be this one. So you're welcome. Well, hi. Good morning. Oh, hi. Hello. Hello.
Here's some good news for you. So Lauren Choi is an engineering student who figured out a way to turn trash into fashion. And she has transformed like red solo cups into sustainable sweaters specifically. So the process involves melting the plastic cups and then spinning the material into a soft durable yarn. And she said it's not just about recycling.
It's about rethinking what waste can even become. The sweaters are now being manufactured by a company she founded called New Norm Collective. And these cozy sweaters are designed to be both wearable and washable and as an added bonus no artificial dyes are used in the production process. And the pastel shades of yellow, green, blue and pink come from the cups themselves.
So it's a very, very cool thing she's doing getting rid of some plastic trash and turning it straight into sweaters. And you would never know. I was just. You would never know. I googled red solo cup fashion. I bet you didn't get what you were looking for.
No. The New Norm Collective on Instagram is probably a good spot to check. Say what?
The New Norm Collective on Instagram is a good place to check. OK. Whatever your phone was doing over there. Oh, I said the G word. Oh. G-O-O word.
And then my phone was like, oh, did you need me for something? I see. No, go away. Googs. Anyway, yeah, you look at these sweaters.
You would never know they were made out of cups. Never, never, never. Well, that's cool. Yeah. Very, very awesome.
Good for her for turning trash. Her supply chain is anchored in North Carolina and Virginia where the yarn is made. And then once the yarn is all spooled up, it is shipped to Brooklyn, where a 3D knitter machine creates the sweaters and beanies that are available from her website, which by the way is called thenewnormcollective.com. Just go to that website. OK. Unbelievable.
I mean, it's cool. And as she said, the colors are from the cups themselves. So there's a pink, a blue, and a green. There's some some grays. There's a mint green.
There's a lavender, all created naturally by the by the cups themselves. Pretty cool. La dee dah. Yeah. Well done. OK. I'm there. I'm checking it out. The new norm collective? Yeah, that's right.
Dot com. These sweaters are made out of the cups. Is that what you're telling me? What? How? Well, she melts them down.
That's good news. It's National Punctuation Day. Exclamation, question mark, period. What are you going with? All of it. All of it at once? Yeah.
Too many. What's your favorite punctuation? Oh. I'll tell you, when I use an exclamation point, I can't just use one. I've got to use multiples. You do? Yeah, I feel like.
I can certainly use one. You've got to be real excited. If I'm like, wow, this sentence is pretty happening. Exclamation point. But then if I'm like, whoa, exclamation, exclamation. A double exclamation. I do know that kids these days are not using punctuation hardly at all. That's true.
That is true. All right. I'm looking at an email I sent yesterday. Two exclamations on the end of both sentences. Oh, and there's also just one with a period in there.
Let me go look at this one. A comma, a period, a period, one exclamation. An ellipsis, a comma. I use ellipsis all the time. A comma, a comma, and then a period, comma, period, two exclamations.
What? And then a comma and one exclamation, and then two exclamations and two exclamations. That's so many punctuations. That was all in one email. And that was yesterday. Think about what you're going to do today.
Probably write another email. With that many punctuations? Yeah. No question, Mark's in there. You're the punctuation master.
Not at all. OK. How often do you use capitalization? That's another thing the kids aren't using. They're not capitalizing anything.
I don't use in all caps. That's for sure. Oh, no.
That's terrible. Unless I'm doing something for reading. Like, because if I'm doing voice work and stuff, that's in all caps. Because it's easier to read. It's all caps, double space. Double space?
Nobody double spaces anymore. If you're reading it. OK. To read, copy. Well, it's easier for sentence flow. It's easier to get through. It's all caps, double space, and it's a larger font. Sentence flow.
Sentence flow. That's what you said. Yeah. It's easier for sentence flow.
Yeah. And then I just repeated it. But you said it all like, like you were trying to sell it like in the late night infomercial, sentence flow.
It's a new fragrance by Estee Lauder. Sentence flow. Sentence flow. Available only on punctuation day. Yeah. We could make that a spoof commercial.
We could. Available everywhere fragrances are available. Sentence flow. In parentheses. Oh, nice. I like it. Thank you.
Thank you. Just the word flow. Sentence. Flow. Parentheses flow. Sentence flow.
You should ask somebody today. How do you punctuation? Unpunctuation day. Just punctuate. How do you punctuate?
How do you punctuate? Right. OK. What did I say? Punctuation. How do you punctuation? If I say, how do I, how do you punctuate?
It's kind of like, how do you decorate the room? How's your punctuate? I like that. Like, punctuate. See. How's your punctuate? Punctuate. It's fine.
Thank you. Period. Do you ever do the talk to, do you ever do the talk to text thing and you have to say the punctuation?
Yeah. That drives me a little bit crazy. The only time I have to is if I'm asking a question and it can't quite tell. If I'm using a question word, a what, a who, a where, it usually knows. I find that when I text to, what is it, speech to text?
It doesn't, I don't enunciate. Oh. Is that right?
Yeah. And then I look at my text and I go, that's not what I meant to say at all. So I have to enunciate. You probably noticed on this radio broadcast. What? I don't know.
Broadcast. That's why it's like, what'd she say? I don't know that word.
Is she trying to say this? Like your auto correct is just tired. It's like, I can't anymore.
She overworks me. I give up. Period.
Well, happy punctuation day anyway. Time out one second. Do you remember that song? I love you, period. Remember that song?
Do you love me? Question mark. That, yeah, no. Please, please, sexclamation point.
All right. I wanna hold you in parenthesis. Remember? No. I do.
I'm gonna play that. For what? Myself. Can't wait, cause I'll be in the room.
Maybe I won't because you just heard it. Thank you. Welcome. Exclamation point. There's a Spudkings game tonight. This is true. That you and I are going to. This is also true. The kids also wanted to go, so they got some tickets.
That's right. And I said, hey, here's the plan. Last night I was telling them the plan for tonight.
And I said, you guys aren't sitting by us. Right. The way I said it, I don't know how I said it. I can't remember. But the way I said it must have been presented as like a, I'm sorry, but where you can't sit by it.
Because both of them immediately were like, oh, you're too famous. What? No. They did that for real? For real. And I said, that's not what I meant.
They also know that's not true. No, we're like in the, it's the main area. It's not like, it's not like we have some fancy box seats or anything. Like there's, we're just in regular population. We're just hanging out. We just happen to have. Our seats are just different.
Your friends are over there and their seats are over there. I know. Okay. I know, I told them that. And the only reason I told them that was because I was like, that might change your opinion on whether you go or not. Like maybe you don't want to sit by yourselves. I see. And maybe you do want to sit by us.
Right. So I said, oh, hey, you're not sitting by us. Oh, you said it that way. Is that what I said? You said, oh, and by the way, you're not sitting by us. Like it was like an exclusive lunch table.
You're not sitting by me. I don't know if that's the way I said it. You just said it that way pretty naturally. I'm pretty sure that's how you said it. Oh, and by the way, you're not sitting by us.
And they went, whoa, okay. All right. I see how it is. You're not sitting next to us.
Oh, okay. You have to go sit somewhere else. You have to sit very far away.
Seats taken. Yeah. Come on. I don't think I said it that way. I think you did.
I probably did. I didn't mean it like that though. I know. You meant to say, oh, by the way, your seats aren't next to ours. That's what you meant.
But you said, you're not sitting next to us. You didn't have to add in the, Both of them. Same time. Whoa. Yeah. Uh-huh.
Yeah, that's exactly what happened. Good night. Well, sorry kids. You can always sit at my table. Just not.
You can always sit next to me. Just not tonight. Just not today. No, it is gonna be exciting though. Spud Kings and the Warbirds tonight. I've never heard of them.
Mountain America Center. I know, you keep saying that. I know, because it's funny. Yeah, like, oh, did they even exist? I didn't even recognize my competition. Yeah.
Yeah, no, I get what you're doing. It's gonna be fun. I think Game Start 705, you and I will be there. Hey, if you bump into us in the lobby, we are gonna be standing around in the lobby for, you know, before the game. And if you bump into us, you're gonna have a chance to enter to win one of the haunted passports. So if you're coming to the game tonight, make sure to stop by where we're set up and get your name entered to win a pair of those haunted passports.
Yeah, so you can go check out some amazing haunted attractions. We'll have that entry box at our table. So, you know, stop by.
Yeah. Stop by and enter to win. And we'll see you at the Spud Kings game tonight.
Woo-hoo. Can't sit by Chantel though. You can. Everyone is welcome to sit next to me. You're not sitting.
Just not my kid. That's right. I guess so.
I guess so. You found a coin collector counter thing. Sorter.
It's a coin sorter. Yeah. Yeah.
That's what I said. Coin collector counter. Yeah. It just sorts them. Yeah.
Yeah. Coin collector sorter. It's a counter. It's just a sorter. Yeah. You got busy doing that.
You found every coin that you could find. It's kind of a fun little thing. It was kind of fun.
I actually kind of liked watching you do that. The wheel just turns and it sorts them out. I don't get it. It's fascinating.
Yeah. And I kind of wanted to do it, but you were already doing it. Was I hogging the machine?
Kind of. It's okay. I didn't realize I was hogging the machine. It's fine. You were in it.
You were very involved in sorting those coins. It's fine. I didn't know that you wanted to. I should have known because you also want to metal detect and that would also fall in line, I would think with that similar hobby.
No. Coin sorting and metal detecting go hand in hand. Do they? Do they? 100% same energy.
I thought maybe the energy I was giving off, hovering and watching and throwing coins in there, I thought maybe that would give off the impression that I also wanted to have a turn. Yeah. Did it not?
Not. You know what would have been better? You would have said out loud, can I have a turn? And then what I would have done is got a second little machine that didn't work and then handed it to you and been like, see now you're playing too. Because I'm an older brother and you're a little sister.
And that right there is the epitome of how that relationship would work out. I would say, sure you can play here. Have this broken one. You're doing it.
You're doing great. My brother wouldn't have been that nice to me though. He would have said, oh yeah, you can play. And then he would have dumped all the coins on the floor and said, you have to pick all those up first.
And I would have been like, okay, it's part of the game. I will. Yeah. I don't know that I would have done that, but I certainly would have given you the broken controller and been like, look, you're that other guy. You're that cloud. How come when I'm pushing the button, he doesn't jump? Because you're that cloud.
Clouds don't jump. My favorite part of the whole coin collecting thing was that I went and made dinner and the kids were like, where's dad? I go, oh, don't. He's sorting coins.
Don't bother dad. He's in the middle of a sorting coin project. We're not gonna see him for a while. And sure enough, you didn't make your appearance until you were finished. I could do more. I enjoyed it, but it sounds like you need a turn. I do want a turn. I'll work on it.
With one that works preferably. No one ever gives me a turn. Oh, sorry.
We'll give you a turn. Poor little sister. You're gonna be okay. I just know it.
I have all of the signs are pointing to you're gonna be okay. Does that mean I'm gonna have a turn? I don't know about that. Rude. Rude. Did you ever really do that to your sister?
What? No, I would never. I would never.
J-mon, you. No, I didn't, but I know we probably definitely did it to the kids. To the kids. For sure.
Especially back. Because he would have always wanted to have been sitting right there. But he also, it wouldn't have been that he knew or didn't know. He just wanted to be a part of it and that's fine. So he was there. But then when he got older, he certainly knew why am I not controlling this person.
And then he went, oh no, no, I have to actually plug it in. All right. There you go. Don't mess this game up for me.
It's gonna take a longer time. But it's fine. It's good quality time.
You know? I wonder what you were like as an older brother. Amazing.
Probably not. Amazing. I made zucchini brownies the other day at home.
That's right. And we didn't tell Emery that there was zucchini in there because she wouldn't have eaten them. But she did try them and like them. And then there was a lot missing when I got home from work yesterday and I said, who's been eating all the brownies? And she said, oh, they're so good. And I said, yeah, I know. There's zucchini in there. You just dropped the bomb like that after we had a whole conversation on the show yesterday about how we're not gonna tell her.
You just come out with it like that. Oh yeah, there's zucchini in there. And she said. She said, I knew it.
Yeah. And then she said, what else have you been lying to me about? And I went, wouldn't you like to know? I got home later and you told me that you had told her but not her reaction. But you did say that like later on, she was walking around, I heard her say, you know, it's not a good idea to lie to your kids.
way to go. Well, this is one of the many lies we've said. Zucchini in the brownies. So you made another pan of them. I did. Different recipe.
Yeah. And you like the first recipe better? The first recipe is more of a cake.
Okay. This one is more dense. This one is more of a brownie.
Brownie for sure. What's weird is I just pulled up, I just kept the tab open on my phone where the recipe was. And as I'm going through it last night, and I go, this is a different recipe. This is not the same recipe I used, but I don't know what recipe I used cause I couldn't find the other recipe, but I know it wasn't the same recipe. That's what you were like, this one didn't have an egg in it. Yeah, the first one called for an egg. I don't know.
I don't know what happened. But two different things, one's more of a cake. I brought the other one today to share. Yeah. And it's here and it's good. It is good.
I like it. See, but I'm looking at the pictures on this recipe and I go, no, those look like the same pictures that I used yesterday. I don't know.
Well, there are different textures for sure. I know it. Maybe you add in an egg on accident. It's possible. It absolutely is possible. Maybe you thought you were making a bread. It's very possible. And that's why it turned out to be cakey is because of the egg.
Yep, it's possible. Okay. I actually am really looking at this recipe going, well, see, and I thought I put baking powder in the first one too. And this one doesn't call for baking powder. I think I probably put in baking powder and an egg. Just for fun?
Just for fun. That's why you got a cake. It's good. Oh, it's very good. We have too much of it. So much there's a pan here and a pan there. I like that you found other things you can put zucchini and other than zucchini bread. You can put zucchini in all kinds of stuff. Yep. I was looking at recipes yesterday. Tell me about it, Bubba Gulp. Here we go.
You can make a coffee cake. Okay. You can make... You're pulling it up again?
Yeah. You can make bread. You can make brownies.
You can make... So far three things. What else can you do with it? Oh, what else?
No, that's what I asked. I know. Cookies, cupcakes, crisp, a pie. What's a crisp like an apple crisp?
But it has zucchini in it? Yeah. Yeah.
I know. Are you gonna bake some more tonight or are you over baking? I feel like I might need a break. Cause you've been doing it. You've been dinner two nights in a row and baking two nights in a row. Who even am I?
Betty Crocker. Don't get used to this. I was kind of getting used to this.
Yeah, I know. You don't get used to me cooking dinner and then making baked goods. Did you just kick back and put your feet up? Yeah, cause I'm tired. Is that what's... All right. I'm tired.
Emory asked me yesterday, did people really used to memorize phone numbers? And I said, yes. Absolutely.
Yes, we did. And you know what's crazy is I was kind of making a list of all of the phone numbers I knew by memory. And I went, that's quite a lot of information that I was holding inside this old noggin. That you still had? No, I still know one of these phone numbers.
Okay, cause I know like my childhood home number. I know that one. That's the only one that I still have retained. I'm trying to remember. But I'm thinking about this.
Man, do I remember any others? Girl, we are really coddled in this day and age. Yeah, because I don't know anybody's, I know your phone number by memory. And I don't even know my kids. I know yours, I know mine. I know my mom, I know my dad, I know. Good job.
I'm trying to remember who else. You don't know the kids. I know like other coworkers because we all had phone numbers in succession. I think I know the kids. I think I know, I know.
I'm not confidently enough to be stuck and have to use a cord or to call somebody. What? How? Yeah. Like when you got dropped off at the bowling alley and then you had to call for a ride.
That's how it worked for me. What? Yeah.
When I was a kid before cell phones existed and you'd get dropped off at the bowling alley to go hang out with your friends. Okay. Well, I'm like, why are you getting dropped off at the bowling alley to hang out?
I didn't say that part. It was like somebody just randomly dropped you off at the bowling alley. And then later on when you're done and you had to call for a ride, you had to put in a quarter into the phone. Remember? No. You don't remember putting a phone in the court or quarter in the phone?
No, I don't. To make a phone call. At the bowling alley? Anywhere. The bowling alley had pay phones outside.
Right on the front of the building. Really? Yeah, really. You said it. You believe that? Yeah.
Phones hanging on the outside of a building. Yeah. It was a thing. Right on First Street. You get done bowling, you walk outside two phones hanging on a wall. You didn't just ask somebody, hey, can I call my mom?
No, I didn't ask somebody. Why? I put my shoes on the counter, I went outside and I used a pay phone like a normal human being. What?
I didn't ask somebody. Yes, hi. Could I call my mother?
Yeah, that's what I did. Could I use your phone to call my mom? Yeah, which would have been weird because she was also at the bowling alley. That's right. Because that's where she worked. I didn't just get dropped off at the bowling alley either to hang out with my friends. My friends were like, want to hang out? I'm like, yeah, not at the bowling alley. Anywhere but the bowling alley. Well, we went there sometimes. I also had a pager. You've heard about that?
I did hear about that. Because I was very cool. What I'm saying is we're pretty coddled that we don't have to memorize any phone numbers anymore. I know actually, I know your phone number, my phone number now, today, and work phone numbers because I have to say them. Oh, sure. Yeah.
Right. Out loud. The other day at work, I said, 208.
525-97-97. Yeah, because I have to remember this one. And then I have to remember my other one. And then sometimes my brain goes, no, that's the wrong phone number. And I go, no, it isn't. And my brain goes, yeah, it is.
And then I have to stop about it and think. Well. Because numbers, you know? I know. You have to remember. Numbers, man. And then I went, look at this list from back in the day before cell phones, and you had to memorize stuff.
I memorized a lot of phone numbers. Cool for you. I know it is cool for me. I mean, we all did. And then I had a little Charlie Brown address book that I kept phone numbers and addresses in.
Oh, because I'm cool. And it was just a little pocket size one. You think that's weird? I don't think that's weird.
I was probably still hanging out in my studio downstairs. I think I've seen it. Yeah. It's a little buckle on it.
Yeah. It's red. And it was stuffed full.
It's like red and yellow. Yeah. And it's stuffed full of little notes and business cards and things. I have seen that. Yeah. Why do you still have that? In case I need an address. What? Christmas cards. What do you mean?
Why do I still have that? You're sending Christmas cards. I keep it updated. When's the last time I wrote in that thing?
I don't know. Oh, at least we should look at it and just start making some home calls. Been a long time. Let's start calling people in your address book.
Old phone numbers? Yeah. Hi there.
Well, see you later. I just saw this interesting question and I want to know your take. If you took a vow of silence for 30 years and then stop, could you go back to talking like normal instantly?
What do you think? Boy, first of all, a vow of silence for 30 years. That's a really long time to not use your vocal cords.
Right. And the idea is that you just don't say anything in public. Like you literally don't say anything at all. At all.
Right? Like you say, I'm silent. I make no noise.
I am not emitting noise at all. So what happens if you have to go like, is that count? Oh, I don't know. What about a sneeze? You've heard my sneeze.
It's kind of hard to be silent during a sneeze. Interesting. Yeah, I just don't know the rules.
I don't either. I kind of also just want to take a vow of silence for like a day just to see if I could. Okay. Let's do it on a day we don't have a show.
Yeah, I will. Because that'd be a real awkward show. Just you. You've done a show by yourself before. Yeah, I know. But you'd be here just not talking and that would be awful. Like say something. Some people might like it better. Some people would be like, she's finally quiet. You're right.
There's someone in their car right now going like, yes, please do that. Okay. So then I was reading some of the comments on this. And somebody said, no, you wouldn't go back to normal instantly. You wouldn't be loud enough.
Interesting. Because you're, yeah, it's some guy said that he was silent for a few months because he got really sick and he had to spend a year to regain his normal loudness. So I don't, he was just quiet after like he just didn't know what level he needed to be at. I don't know if it was that or maybe he couldn't produce it because the vocal chords were so rested. Yeah, are weak.
Like he had to regain them, strengthen them up. Isn't that crazy? It is interesting.
Yeah, for sure. And then you would probably for 30 years, you would start to develop your own language too. It would be your own way of speaking. Yeah, you'd find ways to do it. You'd have to communicate. Yeah, that's what I'm saying.
Unless you were also doing like the whole monk thing, like you're just on your own, like, you know, doing some sort of, I know there are other monks, but I'm saying like maybe if you did like the whole solidarity, solitude, no speaking, like that whole thing. 30 years is so long. So long, I know. And then it makes me wonder how long could you be silent before your vocal chords started to like. What's the first thing you say?
I'm back, baby. Yeah, you go, hey, what's up? Like some annoying, awful noise. Hey. And everybody goes like, oh no, go back to the not talking thing.
Hi. I think it would be, how would you order food? How would you check out of the grocery line? How would you?
Self checkout. Yeah, I guess you could, but. I could go a day aside from the show. I think I can make it through a day without talking.
You wouldn't be able to tell anybody that you loved them. Okay. It's one day. I'm not talking about 30 years.
One day of not saying I love you is too many days of not saying I love you. Yeah. I could definitely do it if I was solo camping. But you'd have to. You wouldn't even talk to yourself? Maybe in my head. Oh, I talk to myself out loud constantly. I know.
I think. That's why I never know if you're talking to me or not. And then you go, you don't even answer me.
And I go, are you talking to me? Because I can never tell. I usually don't talk out loud to myself unless I'm home alone. When you say usually, you keep using that word. You.
Sometimes. I'll be, there are other people around. And then I realize that I'm talking out loud. And then I go, oh, did I say that out loud? Or somebody you will say what? And I go, that was supposed to not be out loud.
Did I say that out loud? And you did. Okay. Whatever that means.
I don't even know what I was talking about in my head. But I said it out loud. Anyway, let's try it.
Let's see what happens. I could do it a day. I could probably. I know I could do a day.
I could probably go a day too. And do sneezes not count? Because I can't control that.
You can't control your sneezes, but you can control the volume of your sneeze. No, I can't. Try. Let's have a test. No.
They're as loud as they are because that's the way that they are. There's no, there's no control. No, let's just try.
And see if we can just do it right. I bet they'll get louder over time too. Yeah.
That's what I'm going to try next time. I don't think they can be any louder. They are so loud.
Yeah. When do you want to do the vow of silence? When do you want to start? I already did. Then I lost it. I'll try again. You found these apple pie a la mode Oreos.
Yes, I did. Apple pie and vanilla flavor cream. Okay.
On a golden Oreo. All right. I've had them kicking around in a drawer for a couple of weeks. I know you threw them in a drawer, then we forgot we had them. Yep. One for you. Okay. One for me.
Okay. I'm curious to know what you think because you don't like apple pie. I don't like hot apples. I can have certain things. Like I like the apple crisp.
I don't like a pile of hot cinnamon apples. Ooh, I do. I gave it a smell test.
Yeah, me too. It doesn't smell like apple pie. It doesn't really smell like anything.
I tried a little bit of the cream. You don't think it smells like anything? It's got a very strong smell. This tastes like, you know, there's that oatmeal, that cinnamon, apple cinnamon oatmeal. That's what it tastes like. I don't want to eat mine and have us both be chewing at the same time. So I'll wait. You're not a fan?
It tastes like apples and cinnamon. Okay. Here I go.
It's fine. That's a fine cookie. The actual like apple cinnamon flavor isn't terrible. It tastes like an apple cinnamon. It really does.
They nailed the flavor. I don't pick up on any ice cream. You don't? The Alamoad part. I kind of do.
There was like a hint of it. I got mostly apple cinnamon. It's not bad.
It's very sweet. Yeah. That's the thing I've noticed about the Oreos lately. They're incredibly sweet and they hit a weird spot on my tongue and I go, that's too much sweet.
Yeah. So I'm probably not going to finish that because it's really sweet. It's not bad.
I don't hate it. But I think I need to offset it with some milk maybe. That's always the answer. Here's the other thing you could do with this. This over ice cream would like this crumbled up over ice cream.
Probably be very good. I agree with you. You're onto something there, Josh. I like applesauce, but I don't like the cinnamon applesauce. I don't like the cinnamon and the apple thing touching maybe that's it. I don't think the longer this sits in my mouth. The sweeter it is on your tongue.
The sweeter it is and the less I like it. Yeah. Isn't that interesting? Yeah. I'm probably not going to eat any more of those. Really good first impression.
Yeah. You came out strong with that one, Oreo. I liked it and then I didn't. Yeah, same. Let's share these around the office.
That sounds like a good plan. We just watched the Wicked for Good final trailer. It just came out a couple of hours ago. So you and I just watched it.
That's right. It came out two hours ago. We did do a reaction video because you love reaction videos. So we did a reaction video for our YouTube channel. I actually do not like reaction videos. Okay.
But I don't watch them. We got to watch the trailer. We got to see what it looked like. We got to experience it. We got to talk about it. And now we get to share that video on our YouTube channel.
So you know, Classy97KLCE on YouTube, you can watch the trailer with us. That's the experience. It's that you get to watch with us. Don't think about it as reaction. Think about it as a shared experience.
There you go. Watching the trailer with us. But normally when I watch stuff, I'm quiet. But I feel like if I do these reaction videos, I feel like I have to say stuff. I see. Because who wants to watch a video of somebody just being quiet?
That's fine. Again, it's a watching shared experience. Here's, and I've talked about this before, because we have friends that are performers.
Sure. And I am a really bad audience member in the sense that I don't, I like to sit there quietly and observe everything that's happening. I get that.
And I don't typically like people who are loud and they clap and they cheer and they hurrah after every like. I get that. I don't do that. And I don't.
You feel like it's a distraction to the experience. I get it. But I do know that like performers work off of that energy.
They get it. And so I appreciate that people are giving that energy, that the crowd is giving that energy, because I'm like, I'm not going to do that because I'm a very quiet audience member. But here's the thing about a reaction video in the way that I like to put them together.
And this one, like there's not a lot of editing. It's just us watching it in real time and kind of talking a little bit. But I don't mind like let's watch the trailer and then we'll talk about it afterward. Oh, okay.
Like get a reaction of like, oh, that's a powerful moment. That's fine. I don't like when people are like, let's stop and analyze and talk about every little bit as we go through it. I don't like that. Like I don't want to want to do that.
No. Like I don't want you to go like, whoa, what does this mean? Like save that for the end. Let's watch it together. And then let's go back and touch on some pieces. That's how I like to do it.
Because I want to watch the whole thing as it was built to be watched. And then if there's parts I want to go back and talk about, I'll do that. And I did a little bit, not much. Only like two or three different scenes that I wanted to highlight. I want to highlight all of the scenes that feature Jonathan Bailey.
You did well in the video as people will see. I think every time he came on screen, you went, oh, Jonathan Bailey, every single time. He's so pretty. Have you seen him? I have seen him.
He's pretty. Okay. Good.
Good for you. Every single time you go, oh, it's Jonathan Bailey. Oh, because my eyes go, oh. Yeah. No, I saw. Anyway, it'll be on our YouTube channel this morning. So if you want to watch it, you can make sure you follow us on YouTube at Classy97KLCE. You can watch the trailer with us. You know, and then go watch it by yourself or watch it with us again and again and again. You can. You can.
You can just watch our reactions over and over. And it's so good. It's wicked for good. So good.
They should have changed the name. Wicked so good. Very good. And the movie comes out November 21st. I know.
I'm so excited. And that is not that long. That is like less than two months.
I know. It felt like last year when the first one came out, it felt like we were going to have to wait forever. It's less than two months away. No, we're almost here.
Yeah, I know. Very exciting. I'm stoked. All right.
Wicked for good, the reaction video on YouTube very soon. I've heard you say in the past, it's been a few days at least, but you have said, I feel like I stink. You've said that.
And I think as a human species, we think we stink, but we don't. Here's what I found out. Okay. I know that my hair holds smells. And I don't wash my hair every day.
Right. Because you're not supposed to. But this morning you were like, it smells like onion. I was smelling some onion. And I go, is it my hair? Because I made tacos last night.
Maybe my hair is clinging onto that taco smell. Maybe. I don't know. I don't know neither.
But here's what's going on. Squirt, that sounds so gross, doesn't it? Your hair smells like tacos.
Gross. Most of our sweat glands don't produce or odor. The real culprit isn't even sweat. It's bacteria that mixes with sweat and mostly in places like our armpits. That's what body odor is.
It's a bacteria. It's not the sweat. So a lot of people are putting deodorants and antiperspirants and stuff all over their bodies to stop themselves from sweating.
We've got to not do this. They're putting it on their necks. They're putting it on their legs. They're putting it on their chest. They're putting it on their backs.
They're putting it all over. And then there are brands that are like, people don't want to stink and sweat. So they're starting to make all these products so that people can be like, no, you don't want to stink.
You don't want to sweat. And they're running all these ads. And people are thinking like, you're right. I shouldn't. So there is a giant sales boom going on that is fueled by aggressive advertising and marketing, telling people that now that we're back together with other people since the last five years, you shouldn't stink.
And if you were just sitting at home, you probably were stinking. But it's not true. No. Yeah, it's not true. It's not true. You smell lovely.
That's what I'm saying. I'm sure you smell lovely. You smell nice. Stop putting on all that creams and lotions and things. I know. Everybody's clogging their pores up with all kinds of stuff to make them so they don't sweat because they think they stink.
I think I stink. That's why I brought it up. Because here's what happens. Somebody will walk past me and I'll go, oh, that smells nice.
And then I start to get paranoid that like, what do I smell like when I walk past people? Oh man. Probably tacos. Probably. Because it's in my hair.
You smell like tacos. Hmm. Hmm.
Is it time for lunch? Right. See? That's so gross. It's not gross and you don't smell like tacos.
I don't think I smell like tacos either. I know that like if I'm around a campfire, everybody else knows it. There's no hiding that.
Right. Oh, you've been near a campfire. And if we've had a campfire, I've washed my hair immediately afterward and immediately the next day, it still smells like campfire. Campfire does not come out of my hair.
Yeah. Why does your hair hold so many smells? If you go into an Indian restaurant, Oh, for sure.
You'll come out smelling like curry. It's so good. It's so good. It's worth it. It's worth it to come out bathed in curry smell. It says that your hair would hold onto smells because it absorbs environmental odor and because of a buildup of natural oils, dead skin cells and bacteria on the scalp creates a breeding ground for foul smelling microbes. Gross. Also porosity. That's a fun word.
Porosity of the hair, insufficient washing and certain diets or health conditions can also contribute to hair retaining odors making them smell bad. Oh. You have high porosity. Thank you.
You're welcome. Or you have a fungus. It could be that. I want to know one thing. Would you rather this or that? Would you rather have vampire fangs that never go away? Cool.
Or where will fur that won't stop growing? I already have that. I'll take the fangs. Why? Cool. You'll never be able to shut your mouth completely.
No. You're confusing vampire fangs with like saber tooth tiger teeth. You won't be able to shut your lips.
Yes, I will. Every vampire can talk and shut their lips and eat food. They just have big sharp canines. It'll be like this.
Like you have braces on. No. Uh-huh.
No. I've never seen a vampire. Not one do that. You haven't seen a real vampire then have you? I've seen several.
Have you? Yeah. Nosferatu doesn't do that. Not real ones. Those aren't real ones. Like real and real life.
Those are Hollywood vampires. Oh. Is that right?
Yeah. And how many have you seen in real life? What are you going to do with your vampire fangs if you have them? They're just normal. They're just pokey teeth. Because they're just your canines just longer. Pointy.
And longer. Yeah. So you're not going to be able to close your mouth?
Yes, I will. Every vampire can close their mouth. Edward? Yeah. What's his last name?
Colin. Nice job. Thanks. I was thinking that was the one and then I couldn't remember if that was the right. His middle name is Glitter. Sparkle. Shimmer.
You've made it. And shine. So many Twilight fans. I know. So angry at you. I know. I know. I know. How dare you.
I want them teeth. Okay. So you're going to be. I already have the fur.
You're going to be the Edward, not the Jacob. I guess so. Okay. Good pick, I suppose. And you are choosing? I'm going to choose.
I'm going to choose the vampire things just because I don't want a bunch of fur. It get hot in the summer. It get hot. It do.
It do. Would you rather this or that? You want to like wrap this thing up? You want to like call it a day? Let's call it a morning at least. Okay. I just finished uploading the trailer to YouTube or the yeah, the review of our reaction video.
That's what it's called. Okay. Of the trailer.
So anybody who heard us talking about the wicked for good trailer, the reaction video is on YouTube now. So you can go watch and see if you like how you look. Because you haven't seen it. No, I haven't.
What are you suggesting? I know that you watch stuff back and decide how you look. Because of the way that you tell me how you look and things that you watch. Later on tonight, Spud Kings, there's a big video screen, two of them in the ice arena. You and I will be on that screen. Are you going to tell me how you look? No, because I already know how I look. But how do you think you're going to look on the big screen in there? I'm not even, I just don't even want to talk about it. I kind of am excited to see it. I don't want to see it at all. I'm very excited to see it.
I give it a big thumbs up. Listen, if you want to swing by Mountain America Center tonight, the game starts at seven. You can swing by and you can sign up to win a haunted passport, a pair of haunted passports.
So if you win a guest, you can go check out four of East Idaho's greatest haunted attractions. And all you have to do is stop by our table. We'll be set up there in the lobby. You can stop by, you can sign up and enter to win.
Come and see us and say hi. And then we're going to watch the game. So we'll be around through the Spudkings game tonight. But we are going to be actually in the house.
So that's kind of fun. In the house. In the house.
In to his house. So definitely stop by and say, hey. Yeah, for sure.
Love to chat with you if you're going to be at the game. What else is going on? What else is going on? What day is it? Wednesday?
Oh no. It's almost Friday, everybody. Well, tomorrow will kind of be our Friday. Because we aren't going to be in the studio on Friday.
So we got other places to be and things to do and people to see and fish to catch. That's what I'll be doing. Anyway, you and I are not spending the weekend together. Are you going to be okay with that?
I think I'm going to be just fine. Are you? You're hanging out with your sister. I'm hanging out with my cousin.
We're going to be in separate parts of the state of Utah, which will be interesting. Are you going to be okay without me? I'm going to be fine. Are you going to be okay without me? No, but that's a different story.
That's a different codependency. I'll be camping and fishing. And you said, I'll be warm in a hotel. Hope you enjoy camping. Yep, have fun.
Yeah. I think it's going to be great. Plus there's fishing involved.
Cannot go wrong. Mine has got fabric and sewing involved. Whoa. So, whoa. Whoa. I know. Whoa. Don't be jelly.
Whoa. Settle down. Don't be jelly. I look like jelly, but I don't think I'm jelly as in jealous. No. Maybe envious, but only of the hotel because there's a pool and a hot tub. There is.
You're right. And that sounds awesome. That does sound fun. I would like a hot tub very much. I know you do. All right. Well, hey, check out the video on our YouTube channel. Make sure you're following us on all of our socials at Classy97KLCE. Check out the podcast.
