Here's a fun fact.
You ready? I like it when they give me fun facts because they're usually not very fun.
Fun. They are fun. This one's especially fun. What? Marvin Gardens on the Monopoly board. That's a yellow piece. It's always been misspelled. Is it Marvin's? The actual neighborhood is in New Jersey and it's spelled M-A-R-V-E-N. Marvin. Not I-N. Parker Brothers apologized for the mistake in 1995, but they did not correct it. Interesting. So it's not an actual place.
Marvin Gardens. Marvin. But Marvin Gardens is.
Marvin is a real place. Marvin is not.
It's actually not that big of a place. Marvin Gardens? It's like one block.
Is it full of gardens? No. So it's a lot. It's packed with houses.
The whole thing is a lot. Incredibly packed. Like you should look at it on a map. It's crazy. It's shaped like a turtle
and there's no room even for the four roads in and out. Like it is just stuffed with houses. Marvin Gardens.
It's in Margate, New Jersey. That's right.
Okay. It's this one little block shaped like a turtle.
Oh, here's another fun fact about it. Oh. It also refers to an obscure American folk rock band. Okay. That Jimmy Buffett did.
Do you know why it's called Marvin Gardens? No, they. Whoa. Did you know, you know how they created mini-cashia? Okay. For where you grew up. Right. Which is a combination of what? Cascia County. And? Minidoka County. Oh. Minicashia. Okay. Right.
Yeah, what do you say? Cascia. It's cascia.
Because it bugs you. And now I'm going to say it forever. Cascia County. Cascia County. Here's why it's Marvin Gardens. Marvin, as you said, in Margate City, New Jersey, which is right next to the other side of the street is Ventnor City. So it is right between Mar and Vent. Ah. Mar-Ven. Uh-huh. Bloody dog. Yep. Marvin Gardens.
There we go. We learned so much today.
Fun facts about Marvin Gardens. Wow. It's not yellow in real life, but it is shaped like a turtle. And it's full of houses.
This has been Fun Facts with Josh and Chantel.
Let's start the show. Turn the page.
Well, hello.
Well, well, well. How's it going? Good. Should we start with what happened last night in regards to your team? Sure. Because I got home from my scout meeting and you were sitting on the floor watching the game. And it wasn't going well.
Yeah. And I said, what is going on here? And Beck said, well, J.J. McCarthy's not looking so good.
Yeah. J.J. McCarthy had a roast.
He's not doing so great.
My new quarterback. I was, I said, get him out of there. You did already? Yeah. Wow. Yeah. Yeah. I don't like that about myself.
So then I made a couple tamales and I sat down to watch and then things started turning around.
Yes, I did. We just needed a little break and then we came back swinging.
And J.J. McCarthy started actually playing some ball.
J.J. McCarthy was rock star.
It's weird how quickly you flipped flopped on that.
Yeah. I just said, I don't like that about myself. You do something wrong and I'm like, ugh, you're the worst. Yeah. And then you do something right and I go, all right, you're not so bad.
Oh yeah. No, I've been married to you for a minute. I'm aware. So in the end, pulled out the victory, pulled out the W.
Yes, we did. How about that? Well, I knew it all along.
I lost both my fantasy teams.
I know, I lost mine too. It's okay because as Beck said, we buy too much stock in the fantasy.
You're taking it too serious. I like to watch the game undistracted, he says.
My favorite thing is he didn't like watching that football game with us because we kept talking about our fantasy teams. And then we kept talking about how football made us crazy and we were cranky about it. And he goes, I don't like watching this game with you guys. I don't like watching football with you guys. You take everything too seriously.
You just took out. It's like you're talking through a movie. Settle down, man.
And I said, you're the one that introduced us to this. And he said, I can take it away. Yeah. Yeah, right. Yeah, right. Yeah, right. Can't take it away. No, we came out. We came out swinging. Well, we didn't come out swinging. No, you did not. But we came back from the halftime swinging.
I would say you came back in the third.
We came back in the third quarter swinging. End of the third quarter. In the end. Yes. I don't know.
Hey, it's early. It's good morning. It's yeah.
Go ahead. No, I don't have anything else to say.
I just what were you gonna say? No, it's OK. But also no, it's gone.
Moments gone.
Good morning. Happy Tuesday. Here we go. Two things happening today. What? One, it's wonderful weirdos day. I kind of like that. I love that. It is a day to honor and appreciate unique individuals encouraging everyone to embrace their quirks and be true to themselves. Day to celebrate differences, express creativity, and show love to the oddballs who inspire us to think outside the box and live authentically. I like it.
I like that too. Wonderful weirdos day. I've been called a weirdo a time or two in my life.
Yeah, me too. Have you? By you. How's a weirdo gonna call me a weirdo? Embrace it, Josh. That's right. Embrace your own unique weirdness as a way to celebrate. Show appreciation for the wonderfully weird people in your life. Engage in creative and unique ways to express yourself and be true to yourself and live authentically today. That's how you celebrate. The other thing that's happening today, I know you're going to be super excited. What is it?
We're going to learn the quadratic equation. Yes. I don't want to. I don't want to. But it's important. For? Physics, mathematics, trajectory of a basketball shot. Anything that you want to know how it is an arch, quadratic equation.
Yeah, I don't need to know any of that. I'm good.
It's important. For? Physics, mathematics, trajectory of a basketball shot.
But I don't. It's not important.
Initial velocity, release angle, constant downward pull of gravity, all can be approximated by a parabola. Parabola. That's right. And the mathematical representation of a parabola is the quadratic equation.
And that's today? Today. National quadratic equation day?
Or what? Go to Google. I don't want to. Just go to google.com. All right.
Going to Google. I'm going to Google. Oh, I can't see my keyboard. Here we go. You see? There it is.
Quadratic equation.
Learning the quadratic equation.
That's what that's. Those are two things. Weirdos and geometry slash physics slash sports. Because of basketball.
With this, does the quadratic equation help you with pool shots? No. Okay. Then I don't want to learn it.
Because if it's not going to help me be a pool shark, then it's not the math for me.
I don't want it.
The math you're looking for is angles on a flat surface. This is about arches.
Yeah, I don't. I'm probably not going to learn this. I don't play basketball. It was the last time you saw me play basketball. It's been a minute. I don't think you've ever seen me play basketball.
Have you ridden a roller coaster? Yes. Quadratic equation.
Okay. Somebody else figured that out for me. Thank you very much. That is physics. Thank you. Physics masters. Okay. All right.
Well, good luck being a weirdo today.
Happy weirdos, weirdos.
You are on top of your weirdo game this morning. I should probably go back to bed and wake up. It's my brain.
I should probably go back to bed and wake up.
Wake up again. Again.
That's an important part to that sentence. Let's go take a walk.
Yeah. I'm having trouble computing my words. And you want me to learn the quadratic equation.
That's right. I want you to be responsible for arch math. Okay.
Let's give it a shot. See what I did there.
It's a basketball pun. Thank you. Good job. How about some good news? Let's hear it. So in Orchard Park, this is in Ontario, Canada, there is a secondary school or as we call them, high schools. And workers uncovered a wallet that was lost behind a bathroom wall that had been there for a long time. So they were doing some renovations. And in one of the bathrooms, they took out a section of wall. I don't know how the wallet got in the wall.
Yeah, that's what I'm asking. But it'd been there for 51 years. Yeah. Tom Shopf, PF at the end.
Shopf was a student at the school in 1974. Inside of the wallet, I assume, were fun reminders of teenage life from the 70s, including a student ID, driver's license and family photos, a price list from a Canadian distillery, and a 35 cent ticket to a hockey game.
Yeah. Did a quick Facebook search. Tom was located and invited back to the school to be reunited with his long lost wallet. He showed up and sure enough, the wallet was his. Now, he does not remember that he ever lost the wallet. Really? It was in high school 51 years ago.
Yeah, I wonder if it got stolen. Somebody stole it. Good point. I would have said, hey, I had some cash in here. Where'd my cash go?
That's right. I had $5 billion in this thing.
No, you can't go that high, Josh. You got to be like, I had $50 in here. Who took my $50?
Well, he said the photos in the wallet included a picture of him and his childhood home. And as he was flipping through things in there, he said it was a trip down Amnesia Lane. The house was built in 1960. He said, my mom still lives there.
I went over to show her and we had a good chuckle looking at everything. But he still doesn't remember losing the wallet. That's so strange. Yeah. I mean, 51 years go by, you go like, I guess I lost this wallet. Yeah, that's true.
Well, reunited. Good job. How'd it get in the wall? Don't know. Somebody stole it, I betcha.
And put it in the wall? Well, I mean, sure. All right. Well, good news anyway.
There's a list of most hated TV characters of all time. OK. Do you want to, who's one of your most hated TV characters?
I even watched a lot of like TV shows in a long time, especially something that I was like, I don't like that character, that person. I'm trying to think, I've been watching a lot of YouTube stuff. I've been watching other shows, but I'm trying to think if there's-
And here's the thing,
if you- TV character, I don't like. If that character, then that probably means they're doing a good job of acting. Well, sure. If their character is a terrible person. Right. And you hate them because they're a terrible person. Yeah, where's this list from that you've got?
Uh, cracked.com.
OK, whatever that is. And right. All right.
OK, there was Skylar White on Breaking Bad.
She was the wife. Right, and I thought about that. But why? But I went, but it's not her fault that I don't like her.
But why don't you like her? She was supportive? She was lied to? OK. I don't mind her.
There was also- So you're saying that she's a victim of the circumstance? Yeah. And so it's not her fault? Right. OK, go ahead.
Grace Adler from Will & Grace, she was the Deborah-messing character. OK. Ross on Friends. Now why Ross? I think most people think that he's just a whiny complaining crybaby.
But there are obviously people that like him or else he would have gotten rid of him.
Well, that's the thing about people, isn't it? Some people like him and some people don't. I read this one and I went, oh yeah, definitely hate this one. Caillou from Caillou.
Why are you guys- Why are you so mean to Caillou?
Because Caillou is annoying.
You and Beck do not like Caillou. And I'm like, he's a kid. He's four. So kids can be annoying. He's exploring and learning. He's Caillou.
Caillou. Oh, he's got a whiny little voice.
I think you don't like him because he's Canadian and that's rude.
Probably. That's rude. Stop being Canadian. He- what? He's a four-year-old.
Doesn't matter. I just found somebody that I don't like. The character I don't like. Who? Manny from Modern Family.
Oh yeah, I agree with you.
I don't like that character. I agree. I thought it was kind of strange. It's a great show.
When that- when that show first came out, yeah, we loved it. We were reading all the hype and I was like, this is the one- yeah, Manny is the one character that's like not- Yeah. He's not jiving with the- with everybody. But then we would go on the internet and people were like, we love Manny. It means a kid, right?
Like, I mean, he's older- At the time. He's older now, but uh-
I found another one that you'll not like. Sheldon from The Big Bang.
I don't like anybody from The Big Bang there. That whole show is not good.
Ooh, shots fired.
But I don't like Sheldon. Or that other Sheldon show. Not for me. Young Sheldon? Sure. Old Sheldon, Young Sheldon, all the Sheldons. Angelica from Rugrats. Oh, I like Angelica. Nobody likes Angelica. I know the number one on your list that you do not like. Ooh, ooh. Zay. Donna from that 70s show.
I don't. I don't like that actress.
That's really personal.
What's her name? Laura Preppen? Yep. Yeah, I don't- I don't know. Something about that actress just rubs me the wrong way and I go, oh. And then in the opening credit of that 70s show, when she's doing that weird thing in the car, oh, that makes me so irrationally angry every time I see it. It makes no sense. Well. But when she does that, I go, we have to not watch that.
She just puts her hands on the dash to try and not fall over while they're turning a-
No, and then she does like a dance thing. Right. Oh, I hate it. I can't even believe you brought her up.
I told you. Number one on your list.
That put you in a bad mood. In a bad mood.
Yeah, thinking about that. Oh, come on. Oh no, ScrappyDoo made the list. What's that? ScrappyDoo. Oh, from ScoobyDoo. That's the little dog. Yeah.
Scrappy. ScrappyDoo. ScrappyDoo. Sad. Well, don't be so scrappy. Some other people on this list, I go, okay, well, it's obvious that people hate them because that was a bad character. But then again, you're doing a good job if people don't like you. I didn't really ever watch the show, but the governor from The Walking Dead is on here. We didn't ever really watch that show, but we did have a little character of the- Figuring? Yeah, the governor. Where did that come from?
And we would hide that around the house. So back in the Toys R Us days, if you remember, we used to go buy the little character blind bags. And that one was one of them that we thought would be funny to get. And then it was the governor. And so we just hid him around the house.
And then the kids would always say, where's the governor? That was funny. Poor ScrappyDoo. You're still stuck on ScrappyDoo.
Maybe ScrappyDoo and Caillou could have a show together.
Caillou and ScrappyDoo. That's a good show.
Do you- you don't get carsick?
Oh, no, I can. Oh, can you? Oh, for sure. I mean, you took me on a drive the other day. And I- it was a little bit windy of a drive and I went, I feel sick. I'm sorry. You should be.
There's a new hack they're saying for carsickness.
Okay, I know- I know some people that do get carsick, like for real.
I have a friend who has to drive because if she doesn't, she gets carsick. Now she has like some bands that kind of push into her pressure points. Right, on her wrist.
And those are the only thing that's really helped her. I think that's what the bands do, right? Something like that.
Okay. It kind of reminds me when I was pregnant, I got a little bit sick. And they gave me the bands to push into my pressure points. Yeah. They didn't work.
Have you seen those glasses they make? No. They have these glasses that have liquid, like a blue liquid in them. So like around the frame. And so they're like the silly straw, but they have liquid in there. And so when things aren't level, like with your head, the water or the liquid in their like tilts. And it's supposed to set you right.
Ew, that kind of makes me a little bit sick just thinking about that. Like I don't want water tipping around in my eyesight. I don't know. How is that supposed to help?
Let me see. So look at motion sickness glasses. And you're going to go, that's exactly how you described it.
You do have a good way of describing things.
It's a silly straw with liquid in it. And there are these anti-motion sickness glasses that you can wear that, I don't know how they work, but they apparently synchronize visual and vestibular your inner ear input and reduce the sensory mismatch that causes motion sickness. Their effectiveness varies individually, but they create an artificial horizon. So it forces your, yeah, your eyes think you're level closer. Isn't that interesting? By looking at the, yeah. Did you see them?
No, because my computer is broken.
Oh, motion sickness glasses they're called.
But now I have to put it on my phone. I see. Everything here is terrible. My glasses are broken. My computer is broken.
What are your glasses are broken?
Not my glasses. My chair. I meant to say my chair. Like what is going on over there? Yeah, you really did describe that perfectly.
Silly straw. Good job, Josh. With artificial horizon.
Okay. Well, if you don't have any of this stuff to help with your motion sickness, they're saying that if you listen to some happy, some gentle and cheerful music that can help alleviate symptoms too. I disagree. It's cute. Joyful pop music, including Happy by Pharrell.
Okay. Can't stop the feeling. From, from trolls. Timberlake.
Shake it off. From Taylor. Hakuna Matata.
From Timon and Pumba. Those are the specifically the four that they've named. Those four songs. Yeah. But they're like songs like that.
But now minus Hakuna Matata. Those are all songs that we play on classy. Okay. So all you have to do is listen to classy. That's it. No motion sickness. Ta-da.
Happy upbeat. You're welcome. We're just making you feel, you're like, I don't get motion sickness. And that's why you've been listening to happy upbeat music on classy 97.
You're welcome. During your drive. That's why you don't feel it. That should be a new tagline for us.
It should be. We won't give you motion sickness.
Helping alleviate motion sickness. One patient at a time.
Song at a time maybe? Maybe.
One sick person at a time.
Better music for no motion sickness.
Here's the other part though. Have you ever like, I don't... Let me rephrase. I like listening to music in my car. I like listening to music loudly in my car.
Yeah, I know. But happy music isn't always the number one pick for me. So if I'm gonna be listening consistently to happy music, I'm gonna need a break from that. And I'm gonna be ready for some more like mellow tunes. Okay. Or maybe some angry songs.
All right, depending on your mood. Yeah. I get you.
I can't just be listening to happy music all day long.
No, I mean sometimes you need to feel other feelings. Exactly. Like motion sickness. I love it. No, that's why there's dromamine. That's why there's fancy bracelets. And that's why there's those goggles. And that's why there's happy from Pharrell.
And Shake It Off by Taylor Swift. That's right. I don't know. There's no science to back this up.
I'm sure there is, but they didn't explain it.
They did, yeah, they did a study. Oh good.
I don't feel as sick when I'm listening to all this happiness. I don't feel as bad in my belly. No good.
That's a, let's keep studying this. We'll write a paper. We did it. We wrote a paper.
So just keep listening to happy music. What's that thing they, toxic positivity.
Toxic positivity.
That's what you'll feel after you listen to all this happy music. You'll be like, ugh.
I'm so overjoyed.
I'm so sick of being cheerful all the time.
That's a bad problem. Is that worse or better than the motion sickness that you have avoided? Better, I would assume. Toxic happiness? Yeah. Too much joy. Too much happy.
You came out of the bedroom the other day and showed me a TikTok that had a couple that was doing awkward couple photo shoot. Yeah.
And you immediately said, oh, we're doing this. Drop everything. Get emery. We're making this happen. And you agreed. Well, yeah.
Well, you don't typically agree to stuff like that. I was so happy that you agreed. So I'm looking at these photos. Yeah. One of them, I have to lay on the floor on my stomach, put my feet in the air. That was a challenge. And you sit on my feet.
That was a big challenge.
Why was that a challenge? It was easy for me.
No, it wasn't because your legs were all over the place. I thought I was not going to make it through it. But you did, didn't you? Barely.
Next one. You're sitting cross-legged on the floor. I'm holding your head and I got one leg on your shoulder.
I'm trying to find these. I know she sent them to us.
Next one. Oh, we'll say that one.
Oh, here it is. I see. Okay. Yeah. Your foot on my shoulder. Strange.
Next one. Yeah. I'm bent over in half. Right.
Like you're in L shape and then I'm in L shape. And then you have your arms around my legs and I have my arms around your waist. It's a very awkward position.
All of these are awkward. Yeah. That's what makes them funny. And the very last one. I got to find it. How do you explain that one?
My back hurts. That's how I explain that one.
You did say yesterday. My back really hurts.
It hurts still. It still hurts.
I go, what did you do? Did you sleep wrong? Did you lift anything heavy? And you go, no. And I go, except yes you did.
It's not about the lift. It's about the position of the squat, which I think messed up my lower back.
You look like you're having fun though. No.
I didn't hurt until yesterday afternoon. Nearly 24 hours later.
Oh, well, that's not my fault. That's what I'm saying. Yeah. I didn't cause that. I don't even know what this position was supposed to look like. That?
It was supposed to look exactly like it does.
No. Like you're supposed to be behind kind of in a squat.
Right. Your legs are supposed to be further up and back and they're not.
No. Cause I was afraid that you wouldn't be able to hold me. I was afraid that my head was going into the ground. And it didn't. No. You did good. Yeah. I did not do so good.
Surprise. Because you won't even trust fall. You have no faith in anybody.
No, I have a hard time trusting people. Yeah. I know. I know. I was going to see about posting these, but I don't know. They're still. I don't know about that either. But it was really fun. Well, good. We were laughing. Emery was like, is this happening? She was excited to take the picture. She was like, are we doing this? Yeah. We were laughing for a good half an hour. And then we each went back to our corner.
That's right. I gotta go get some ice. For my back.
Thanks for agreeing to do that, Josh.
Well, you know, you bring it up, you gotta follow through. That's kind of my motto.
That's not your motto at all.
No, it's a motto.
That was the one time that you brought something up.
Something like that up and then followed through. Like just like every other time.
No. Yeah. Bring it up and follow through. Bring it up, follow through. Bring it up, follow through. It's a good motto to have. It's a good motto. But you gotta execute the follow through portion.
Bring it up and follow through.
Stop saying that.
What? Do you want to know what the day is? Sure, I do. You just go like this. You just sighed. Like, oh, okay. All right. What are you talking about? Today is a lot of people's birthday. Okay. And we know that September is a busy birthday month. Yes.
But today, the 9th of September, according to the U.S. Center of Health Statistics and the U.S. Social Security Administration, September 9th is the most popular day to be born in America. Yeah. Today. Today. Happy birthday to everybody.
Happy birthday to everybody. Because apparently it's a huge day. Well, I just looked at the calendar. I've got no birthdays today.
Well, well. Second is September 19th.
Okay. Let me look and see. I got no birthdays that day either.
Nine of the top most common birthdays, nine of the 10 most top current birthdays fall in September.
We have, because we have a wall calendar and I chalk it up every month to say what's going on. What always makes me laugh is I put down everything, appointments that everybody has, what everybody's doing, and still my kids will be like, I didn't know that was happening. I know. They don't look at the calendar. No, they don't look at the calendar.
They have access to it on their phone too. They don't know. They don't look at that calendar either. And Emery just complains whenever we add something to the calendar, because it sends her a calendar invite, she's like, why am I invited to this? This doesn't involve me. And it's like, no, that's just how the calendar lets you know. They call their notifications invites.
We have, there's a lot of birthdays we know next week. Our daughter's birthday, my nephew's birthday, your cousin's birthday, our friend's birthday.
I know. You believe she's going to be 16? No, that's insane. Doesn't seem real. She's like two, right? Yeah, I know. I don't.
Way to make me feel sad.
How's our two-year-old turning 16?
That makes no sense. It makes zero sense.
I mean, I know when she was five, she was like five going on 16. Oh, she's always been. But now she's going to be 16. What is the deal? Time.
I don't understand it. Time just keeps on trucking by, doesn't it, Josh?
That's right. 10-4, good buddy.
10-4, Breaker Breaker 1-9. Keeps on trucking by.
Breaker Breaker 1-9-er. You got to get the er in there.
Why Breaker Breaker 1-9-er?
Why 9-er? 9-er, 9-er. It's a CB thing. It's a CB radio thing to say 9-er. 9-er. Yep. I don't know why. I don't know who invented it. Who invented CB radio 9-er?
I don't know. I've never heard that. My dad was a truck driver forever.
Yeah, well, you never listen to him talk. 9-er, 9-er.
He listens to their dad talk.
Oh, look at that. So 9-er is, it says specifically like channel 19. 9-er. I see. So it's not like a 9. Yeah. 9-er refers to channel 19, which is the most widely used among truck drivers.
9-er. Breaker Breaker 1-9-er.
No, it's not. That's right. Breaker Breaker 1-9-er. I know, I know you're talking about the song. I'm just telling you.
I'm not talking about the song at all. I'm talking about Breaker Breaker 1-9-er.
Looks like we got a convoy.
That's what you're talking about. No, I'm not. Breaker Breaker 1-9-er. 9-er, 9-er. We could be truck drivers. We are. I drive a truck. That's one job I never want to have. Long haul truck. No way.
No way. I was driving next to a semi the other day going through the roundabout and I went, buddy, I feel for you. I can't get through this. I can't get through this roundabout in my little car. I can't imagine doing it in a semi. Oh, they do it all the time. I know because they're profesh.
They are very profesh. Appreciate those truck drivers. Pre-sure. Pre-sure, profesh. All right. I like that they have their own language. Like, there's so much in here that's a lot of fun. Such as? Oh, like a gator or an alligator.
Okay, that's not necessarily their specific language.
People say Gator all the time. Right, in reference to a large piece of tire laying in the road.
Oh, no. Oh, we got a Gator in the right lane. Ooh, I'm gonna... Northbound right lane, 81. We got ourselves a Gator, 9-9-9. See? Bro, I'm gonna learn all the truck drives and lingo. That's what I'm saying. I'm gonna wow the kids. Oh, that's a big old piece of Gator in the road.
You're gonna wow the kids?
Yeah. Look at that Gator. They're gonna be like, wow.
We better get on the radio, get on the horn and tell them there's a Gator in the road.
Quick, did you learn that language? I'll say, oh, years of listening to my dad truck driving. That's right. It's a big old Gator in the road.
So what is a 10-4?
10-4, good buddy. Like, I understand.
That's right. Acknowledged, right? What's a 10-6?
10-6 is I do not comprehend.
Nope. That's a 4-10.
I don't know. I don't know what 10-6 is.
4-10 is when you say it's a reversal of the 10-4. So if you say, hey, you 4-10, and you would go 10-4. 10-4? That's right. So 4-10 is a question. 10-4 is the first key.
But you can't say 10-4 without also saying good buddy.
You can.
No, you can't. 10-4. 10-4, good buddy. I feel like it's missing. Good buddy.
All right. A 10-6 is I'm busy. Stand by. 10-6.
10-6. I'm going to say that all the time.
You are? 10-6. Yeah, at work if somebody needs me. 10-6. Right. 10-6, you're way out of here. If somebody says, what's your 10-20? Location. That's right. You knew that one. Yeah, it does. Yeah, okay. Uh-huh. What's your 20? That's the same. Right?
Okay.
What's your 20? Right. Okay. Next. If you could say, can I get a 10-36? What's that? 10-36.
Uh-huh. Oh, I know this one. 10-36. I got to use it in a sentence. Can I get a 10-36? Can I get some help on the road? Nope. I don't know.
Can I get the correct time? That's old school. Can I get a 10-36? I bet not a lot of people are asking for 10-36 on the CB radio these days. Well, anyway, there's a whole bunch of other stuff. Like, we got Bear Bait out here.
What's Bear Bait? What do you think? I don't know. What's a bear? I don't know. What's a smoky bear? I don't know. A smoky bear? Just say. Smoky bear is the cops. So what's Bear Bait? I don't know.
That's a car who's erratic or speeding. Oh, we got Bear Bait. Nice one. I got to write these down.
Oh, okay. There's a ton of them. There's a whole website full of them.
Bear and Bait.
All right. Okay, I'm going to learn this. CB slang.
Bro, you're going to be so impressed. I'm going to be CB in my way out of here. All right. Breaker, breaker, whatnot. All right. I read this yesterday. I thought it was very cool. It says in a small German town, the most popular new library has no books. It's known as the library of things. Residents there can borrow items that they rarely need, such as power drills, sewing machines, camping tents, pasta makers. Cool. The initiative is meant to cut waste, save money, and strengthen the community through sharing. I think this is cool. I think it's very cool.
I've seen there are people that will put together like a tool shed, like a neighborhood tool shed. Yeah. They'll have shovels and wheelbarrows and stuff like that, which would be really helpful sometimes. I don't want to own a wheelbarrow, but I need to move some dirt today. Right. Because it's just going to end up leaned up against the side of the shed, 99% of the year. Exactly. Except for that one day when I need to make a thing of cement.
And I don't know. I don't think it's just you borrow a library. I don't think it costs money. I think you have to live in the town, so you probably have to show similar to a library with books. You have to prove that you're a resident there, and then you have to show your little resident card when you go to check something out.
I don't know that it's even manned. It's probably very similar to that tool shed where it's within a neighborhood. It isn't necessarily accessible to everybody in the whole town, unless the town's real small.
Yeah. But it would be just something that where a neighborhood set it up and said, Hey, look, we've got, you know, a couple of tools that we don't regularly use. We're just going to stock up the shed. Be kind, bring stuff back. You know, don't hold on to it for two weeks. And you might have a log book or something where you say, Hey, you know, Henry borrowed the, the Dolly cart and a couple of bungees for a day or whatever he needed. You know, that kind of thing.
Henry, we're missing the bungees.
Henry, you broke two bungees, buddy. Run down to the Harbor Freight and get some new bungees for the shed. Henry, come on.
You know, I think it's great. I think it's sometimes we just always have too much stuff.
Well, there are so many times where I'm like, I need one tool to do this one home repair. And so I have to go buy the tool and then I don't need it anymore. And what am I supposed to do? Just sit on this tool forever. Cause that's what I, that's what I got. I got a bunch of stuff like that where I'm like, I might need it again if I have to do that repair, but otherwise it sits collecting dust.
Well, that just happened last year. We had to buy a tool for the washing machine and then you used it and then haven't used it again. It just sits there doing nothing. We have a washing machine tool if anybody wants to borrow it.
I don't think I'd do anymore. I think I got rid of it. You did. Well, cause it came with the kit with all the parts. And so I just got rid of it. I got tired of it hanging around expensive. It wasn't. And it came with the parts. The parts were expensive. The tool wasn't that big of a deal. I see.
Why did you have to have a special tool and it didn't even, we had to press bearings.
Because the parts and tool, that whole kit was like $50. And we thought that was expensive.
You said it wasn't expensive. Listen to me. And we said, we need to see if we can fix the washer first. But in order to do that, I had to release and press in some bearings. And so the tool was, was for that specific purpose.
So I rebuilt the, the washer drum assembly that spins because it was unbalanced. Remember? I do. Rebuilt the whole thing. It didn't fix the issue. It fixed other stuff. And, but it didn't fix the washer. So it was time to get a new washer. Yeah.
And we decided that the $50 was going to be worth it to try to fix it. But then, you know, I had all these greasy old washer parts that I
just was like, I'm tired of doing this. But if we had a neighborhood library of things, we could just go firewood.
There could have been a bearing press in there. You know, right? There could have been. Yep. And a, a oil fryer. An oil fryer. Yeah. Because air fryer we use all the time. Oil fryer.
We don't. So we could, we could put that in the neighborhood thing and go, now there's an oil fryer in there. Somebody needs an oil fryer. You don't need an oil fryer every day. No, that's true. You don't. You don't. So it sits around.
You know, you could put all kinds of stuff in there. That's right. You're really good.
Community sheds. I'm telling you, that's where it's at.
I know. I think it's a great idea. Let's, I was going to say, let's try and put together one in our neighborhood, but I just don't have the energy.
I wish we had one, but someone should start that.
They remade the Tootsie Pops commercial. How many licks does it take to get to the center?
And it was three. And then the owl took a bite and said, the world may never know. Correct. What, what is it now?
No, no, no, it's the same. It's the same commercial. They've just redone it with fresh animation and voice tracks. So they've just cleaned it up and made it pretty.
But it's still the same drawing. It's still the same. Yes. So what do you, when you say they made it pretty, what they do? If it's the same, it's the same.
Like they've just like made it pretty. They've cleaned up the animation. Like that it was originally made in 1970. So they've got new color in there. They've got, it's just pretty. I just watched the old one versus the new one.
Yeah, I'm watching the new one right now. So are we talking about the watercolor backgrounds or new?
Yeah, all of the color, like it's just, but the voices are the same. They've just made a more crisp. I see. But it's the same. All right. Now I gotta go look at the old one. After 55 years.
Let's take out the word new and look at the old one.
You can get to the old one if you just look up the commercial.
Well, they, they did one in 82. Is that the?
No, the original one was from 1970.
Oh, okay. Well, maybe this one is just from someone who recorded it in 82. Maybe possibly. So it has the watercolor background still and the characters are the same. I mean, it's simple, you know, pencil drawing type things. But yeah, I can see, I can see what they've done. Yeah. I'm glad they kept it, you know, the same. The same. It's worth. Yeah.
I'm just watching one that has a cow.
I just saw that. I was just looking at the cow one. I didn't know there was a cow.
And then they moved to the turtle and the owl. So it's just the longer. It's just the longer version. And then the one I've known has just been the short version.
They cheated. So they also made it widescreen. They made it fit today's aspect ratio. But all in all, yeah, no, it's fine.
How about that? We were just talking about this commercial with some friends over the weekend. So the fact that I saw a story that it was reimagined, it reimagined.
Reimagined. Reimagined. Reanimated. Yeah, sure. Sure. Sure, sure. I will say that the Tootsie Pops look better at the end. Like considerably better. Yeah. Like the old ones, they didn't look so hot, but they look really good here.
You didn't want to eat them. Yeah.
No, these look really okay.
What makes me laugh is at the end of the original one, there's it shows the Tootsie Pop and then it says organic on the wrapper.
Does it? Yeah. Let me see. Grape, orange, cherry, chocolate, raspberry.
It says orange. I don't see organic. It says orange. Cause of the orange. I just thought it said organic. It doesn't. It says orange.
It says orange because of the flavor of the, do
you have a favorite flavor of Tootsie Pop? Cherry, always. Cherry. Yeah. Always cherry. Yeah, that's my first go to. Interesting. What's yours? The classic chocolate. Oh, chocolate is good. Chocolate is a good one.
A chocolate Tootsie Pop is great.
What makes me interested to know is when was the last time you had a Tootsie Pop?
It's been a long time. I'm not a big lollipop guy.
So what?
I'm not big on the hard candy.
I wonder why they decided to remake this. Did they feel like there was a need to do this? Interesting. Isn't it? It is.
It is. It is interesting. Yeah. Very interesting. I just typically, I'm like the turtle or the owl, whichever. What does. I just bite. I don't, I don't suck them. I just bite them.
I know you're crazy. You're a lunatic.
But I also prefer a blow pop.
I was just looking that up. I wanted to see a 1989 blow pop commercial. Okay. They're using them as drumsticks. Everybody's excited. The kids now got bubble gum. He blew a bubble. Okay. All right. So they, they used like Nickelodeon actors and, and it's all very, very colorful and fun. Yeah.
Yeah. The kid who, who blows a bubble and is wearing glasses, he looks like that. The little brother on, is it Jerry McGuire? Oh, what's his name? Jonathan Lipnicki. Yeah. With the glasses. Yeah. Yeah. He looks like that kid. It's not. He just looks like that kid. No. Anyway, thanks for knowing my reference.
Do you prefer a blow pop over a tootsie pop?
I don't like either of them. I know, but if you had to choose. Oh, tootsie pop? Really? Yeah. Why? Because bubblegum's boring. No, it is not. I'm an adult and I went to the dentist and they said, Hey, we've got three flavors for you, mint, bubblegum or black cherry. And I went, yeah, mint. I'm an adult. What?
Oh, you're so boring. Who wants to?
Bubblegum flavored, squeezy thing.
Like they had to do that thing. You bite down on that mush. Yeah. And they were like, do you want that to taste like bubblegum? No, I don't. Yeah, I do. Do you get bubblegum?
And not typically because I don't like the flavor of bubblegum. Like this is boring. No, no, I don't like like the fake bubblegum flavor. But I get mint. I probably would have picked cherry.
Not cherry, black cherry. I would probably pick black cherry. No. What do you know about me and black cherry? Absolutely not.
No, I'm an adult. That's right. Give me mint.
Well, give me like this tastes like turkey dinner. Awesome. Give me some savory flavors. Like, Hey, we've got this stuff you got to chomp down on. It tastes like pizza. Love it.
You know, give me some flavor here. Like bubblegum, mint or black cherry.
I like that you think bubblegum is boring, but you pick mint. You're not boring at all. You're right.
Whoa, settle down. Go have a Tootsie Pop. The folks over at Lego have announced a new set. It is to be their most expensive set ever.
What is it?
It is a Death Star. Now, they've done several Star Wars Death Star sets before.
This one happens to be a diorama. So it is a cross section of the Death Star, not the actual like one. So do you see it? You see it. I do see it. It's not overly huge.
That's pretty intense. I mean, if you look at it, like it's kind of cool. Like I like that they put in some of the spacecraft and it's got a lot of mini figures. It's probably what we say one, two, three, four, five. It's like six stories tall in scale. So if you had a mini figure, as it comes with, you would be able to say that's six stories to scale of a mini figure tall. It's kind of neat and kind of different as far as a Lego set being just a diorama.
It's kind of a cool piece that you could have set up in your house. It comes with a whole bunch of mini figures. I know I was just counting a bunch. It looks like 25 mini figs and then there's like a creature.
It comes with 38 mini figures. Total. I mean, there might be 25 in the picture, but it is 38 mini figures, which is the most ever in a single set.
I was going to say, you usually get like one.
Yeah, maybe three or four if you get crazy. The set comes out October 4th. Did you see the price tag? No, it is 9,023 pieces. It is $999 and 99 cents. It is a $1,000 Lego set.
This is the most expensive one.
This is the most expensive set. Yep. It's $1,000. That's insane. Yeah.
But it doesn't have the most pieces. Is that what you're saying?
I don't believe it has the most pieces. No. It has a lot at over 9,000, but it's cool. Like the scenes are great. Like it's really cool.
It's anything that happens in the Death Star. Luke Skywalker mini figs.
And a bunch of Princess Leia's too. Because each scene, and I don't know which site you're looking at, but like there are scenes where like Leia's in the air duct system and Darth walks by and then there's the scene where they're all in the trash compactor and the walls are closing in and there's, you know, all of these other little scenes. So there's multiples of the characters. There's the Darth and Obi-Wan fight that's happening with Luke in the background watching it. So there's a lot happening. It's really super cool.
I don't know anything of what you just said. All right. That's intense. Yeah. It's pretty cool. Okay. There's the scene where, yeah, Darth and Luke are fighting. Darth and Luke. Yeah. Where? Well, I'm on, I'm on.
Oh, I see it. I see what you're saying. Yes. With the emperor.
Okay. Yeah. Yeah. All right. That guy's looking down on them all angry. That's the thing. Is that the scene where Luke gets his hand cut off?
No. His hand already looks like it's cut off because he's got a black hand. Do you see?
I do see. I do see. Anyway, very cool and very expensive. I know like the Titanic Lego. They have a Titanic Lego? They do. And that one, I don't know what it was originally priced when it came out, but the Titanic Lego set is $680.
Oh, I see that one. Yeah. Yeah.
So the, the Lego's icon sets are pretty cool.
But they, yeah. And these ones don't come with like mini figs or anything.
No, no, but that Titanic one is really cool. And it's huge. I mean, it's, it's a massive boat.
Lego is so ridiculously expensive though. Isn't it? Yes, it is. I mean, I appreciate the quality and I mean, if you
use some of the other Lego pieces that are not Lego, the off-brand Lego, they're just not the same. Nope.
So I get, I get the quality, I get the construction, I get the imagination of the sets, but come on. Why do you have to be so much money?
You know, see if they've got, you know what I'm saying? Yeah. And, and what's interesting too is like there's actually people collect these, your brother collects these. And so I imagine he's going to want that set.
That's, he's a big Star Wars guy and everything else, which is pretty cool. But there, there are some sets that are insane. Like there, I'm looking at one right now. There is a Combine Harvester that was built by Technic. It retails for $70, but its value is over $400. No way. Oh yeah. Absolutely. Just insane.
Oh, if you look up Combine Harvester, you also have to put in Lego.
That, that's important. That's really important. The original Death Star set has instantly increased in, in popularity. It came out in 2008. It was for $400. It right now is valued at $950 because people want the original Death Star set.
I was going to say, I wish sometimes that they would bring back some of the OG set like from.
Oh, it'd be really cool. That would be cool. But that's why that's why collectors exist. You can, you can pay money for them. Yeah, that's true. And, you know, they're, they're retired. They're not making new ones. Like that, that original, that original Death Star is a retired set.
My brother used to have this cool boat one that my cat had an accident in. So we had to throw that one away. What does that mean? I loved that boat. Like. What do you mean? What does that mean?
He tripped and cut himself and there was, you know what I'm saying?
Like, no, I understand. It was that big or he just was, he was upset about Lego. I think he was. That was, that sounds, that sounds targeted.
That sentence I never in my entire life was prepared for until it just happened. And I was very caught off guard. So thank you for that. Wow. I think you know somebody and then you learn something new like that. New story.
You thought you knew everything about me.
No, you did not know that. That is new info. I don't know if he cleaned it out or if he just threw it away. I think he just threw it away, which, what a waste. I love that boat.
I did love that. So did the cat. If I said to you, hey, you have an all expense paid vacation wherever you want. Uh, what would you decide to do?
Oh, I would go anywhere I want. I want to go to Europe. Okay. So I would, I would go across the, across the pond.
They say, what would you do there?
Oh, I would check things out. I would eat foods. I would go to different establishments. I would check out some of the culture things. I would visit some places. I'd go on walkabouts.
I would chat with some folks that you were going to be coming home exhausted.
And you'd have to get right back. Isn't it? Is it? I mean, sometimes people want to go on vacation to have relaxing. I didn't want to relax that vacation. I wanted to go see stuff. I, if I chose the vacation to relax, yeah, I can't. You can't relax.
I can relax. I was going to say, I'm saying you relax. No, I can, I can definitely relax. But like, if I go somewhere, if I'm paying money to be somewhere, I want to check some stuff out.
What if somebody said, hey, I'm going to pay you to go on vacation. But all you have to do is relax. You can't sightsee.
You can't go fishing. What kind of relax? You just have to. Just sit.
Yeah. Sit, take a nap. Oh, so boring. Relax and hot tub. It's just relaxing. I mean, it sounds nice on the surface. Yeah. How many days? Um, three. I'm bored day two.
Okay. So, and then I'm like, can I go see something? And they're like, no, sit.
No, all you have to do is sit here and relax. The days read a book. You've got your massage appointment in a half an hour.
Okay.
See now I it's all relaxing things. You just can't go anywhere.
I can just go from relaxing thing to relaxing thing. How many different, what if fly fishing is relaxing? No, it's not. It is. No, you don't get to do it. It's very relaxing. What about a relaxing zipline? What about?
No, your chest.
What about a relaxing walkabout? No. What about a relaxing time on public transit, figuring out where I'm headed? I enjoy that.
That's relaxing. Ever been relaxing. I find comfort in that. You do enjoy that, but I don't know if it's necessarily relaxing to you.
I feel okay about it. I like it. I like figuring out the way things work in a city.
You are really, really good at doing that. And you do like to do it. I've become very dependent upon you for that. The second you, I met you, not that I was ever like the navigator and any kind of trips I took before you, but I would have to figure out where to go and how to get to places and do stuff. And then I met you and I was like, I'm not going to ever have to worry about this ever again. And I accepted that position on the team. And now if you're not around and I have to navigate things, I'm like, I don't even know how to do it.
I mean, there have been times where we have been in separate vehicles. You were driving one and I was driving another and we were headed in the same destination and you have gone a different route. And I've been like, what are you doing?
I think the same thing about you. What are you doing? And then I go, I'll get off on the next exit and try and catch back up with you. And then we spend, I don't know, a good 30 minutes trying to figure out where we are in Utah. I know where I am. That happened last year. You're lost, not me.
I lost you. I couldn't find you. No, you were lost. No, you took the wrong exit. No. And then I had to figure out how to catch back up with you through a residential area. It was a mess. I knew exactly where I was. No, you didn't. Pretty sure I did. Well, I'm pretty sure you didn't.
Anyway. So you would not go on a relaxing.
It sounds fine. It just sounds boring. And maybe that's bad on me. Like I like relaxing. I would like to have a little relaxation every day. I would rather than have a full vacation of relaxation. I want something.
I want an activity. I want to go exploring. I'm in a new place. I want to go see it. If I'm going to have a relaxing one, it's got to be somewhere I've already been. I'm like, yeah, okay, I'm just going to chill here. Okay. But like if I if I went to Hawaii for the 50th time, I'd be like, yeah, I can just relax. Let me go take a nap.
Right. But the first time as I've never been, I'm not going to just go. Check out all the things. I'm just going to go sit and just be there. I got to go explore. All right. They filmed Lost there. All right. I got to go see some stuff.
The Banyons, you know, the Banyons, the Banyons. We're over here in the bay in the bay.
Oh, cool. Anyway, I should be able to relax a little bit each day. That'd be my preference. All right. Whether that's a hot tub, a massage or a soak, a nap, a nap a day is great. I like that. Taking a little take a little swim in the pool, sitting in the hot tub, kick up my feet, chill out, a little bit of a nappy nap. That's all good stuff. Not the whole time.
That sounds nice. Let's go do that.
Eat some fruits, you know, some fresh fruits. Listen to the ocean. That's all good. That does sound nice. A little bit every day. Let's go do that right now. Right now.
Yeah. Okay. Let's go have some relaxing time right now.
We'll be back in a week. Bye. Would you rather this or that? I got a good one for you today. All right. Yesterday kind of went off the rails. Let's see how it goes today. What was yesterday? Well, would you rather? Uh-huh. It was a would you rather.
Would you rather have a perpetual helium voice? Or have your left arm perpetually filled with helium?
The voice. Yeah?
Why? Sure. Why not? Well, it's kind of entertaining. And you think your arm is going to float. Your arm is not a balloon. And if your arm's full of helium, you're not going to have a long time to live. So I'm taking the voice. Fair.
Because, you know, surface level, you're going like your arm's just light weight floats away like a balloon. No way. You got helium in there. That's not good.
Yeah, but it's not. This is the helium that doesn't kill you.
You just. I don't want a floating arm. Okay. Okay.
Oh, yeah. We're going to have to find a new career path. No, we're not. Yeah, we are.
You're just doing the show. Show it this guy.
I'm doing left arm because no one's going to ever want to talk to me. What is your helium voice like? I'm not going to tell you because yesterday I did a laughing goat.
That's what it was. I'd like to hear it. It's not happening. Let's hear it. Come on. Helium voice. I really hate that.
From now on. It's a little ginger from Shrek. No, but it's not good. Come drop buttons. No. I'm sad I asked this question because I don't like it. I don't like it. Why? Stop. Would you rather this or that because I got to end this. Right now? Yes. Not my favorite. Okay. Put that one away. Why? Sorry. Yeah.
I want to hear your helium voice. It's not going to happen. One time. Nope. And three, two, one, go.
What are you doing? I'm not paying attention to you. Is that what that is? This is me ignoring you. Why are you squinting your eyes? Oh, because I'm reading. No, you're not. That's not how you read. Was it say here? A single Lego brick can withstand about 950 pounds of pressure before it starts to crack.
Would you rather this or that? I haven't given you a beanie weenies update in a while. Thought you'd like to know that it is currently at 750,000 views. Stupid.
You're stupid beanie weenies video on TikTok. So dumb.
It is dumb. 750,000 views. It has 34,000 likes and it has 3,600 favorites.
I'm so disappointed at humanity.
It has 323 comments. I just wanted to give you that beanie weenie update. It was weird spotting them in the wild. I will still say that. It was strange to be at the grocery store in Montana and go, huh, those are real. I'm sure they have them at grocery stores in East Idaho. I just never have seen a small little cardboard kiosk that says beanie weenies. It was fantastic.
Dumb. Dumb, dumb, dumb. All right.
Well, 750,000 reasons why it's not dumb. So you know. Okay.
It might hit a million. Oh boy. There's a chance.
There's a chance. Hey, before we go, I did want to remind you that you can enter to win Trans-Siberian orchestra tickets. We're giving those away in the Classy 97 app. That show is coming up on November 20th at the Mountain America Center. Tickets go on sale on Friday. So if you want to enter to win those tickets before you can buy them, do that in the Classy 97 app. And one winner is also going to get meet and greet passes to meet the band, that's awesome, which is really super cool. Super fun.
Tap that link in the app and sign up. If you haven't done so yet, Trans-Siberian Orchestra Classy 97 presents Trans-Siberian Orchestra, I should say, on November 20th at the Mountain America Center. So go and enter to win tickets. To win tickets. And that's going to do it for the show. So I guess we'll be back tomorrow and all that.
I'll be here. I'll be here.
La-di-da. Do you want us, do you want it to be here tomorrow? Nope. Why? I'll be here. Try here. I'm okay. I'll be here.
One time on this side. I'll be here. Have a good Tuesday. Bye.
