Happy Monday or whatever day it is when you're listening to this. This was recorded on a Monday. So happy day it was recorded. Right. Woo.
It's wake up classy 97, the podcast. Enjoy today's show. Well, hi. Oh, hello. I was just, doing a little reminiscing about, an episode of our show from a little over a month ago from Saint Patrick's Day, and you're asking, what did we talk about on that show?
We talked about Saint Patty's Day Okay. Naturally. We talked about the fact that you, are 30% Irish or something. Yeah. Obviously.
Clearly. Clearly. Let's see. Your nephew turned down your offer to officiate his wedding. I can't believe that.
That that happened in that episode. I'm still mad. Your great or your grandniece Mhmm. Whatever great niece. Great niece.
Your great niece, knows how she wants to celebrate her birthday. Something was wrong with the scotcheroos. I made them. That's what that was what was wrong. The Air Jordan Cheeto, you remember that, was, the jump man Cheeto.
Okay. You're gonna need some good gloves to run a shovel. The post register archives made it to the, Museum of Idaho. Something about a unibrow. When do you know you've made it as a band?
Oh, yeah. The Goonies generation and some Irish wisdom for Saint Patrick's Day. So it was a good show. It was a good episode. It was action packed.
I hope it lives up to today's show. I hope today's show lives up to that show. The reason you're asking or we were talking about it is because it's It is our most downloaded episode of the podcast Wow. To date, which is a big deal. And so I I was cruising through some analytics, and I was looking at that this morning.
And I was like, what happened in this show? Sounds like it's a good show. Yeah. We've had better. We've had worse.
But these are fine. Oh, I think it's a good show. Fine show. I don't I don't know why it is our number one episode. Our Saint Patrick show is apparently a big deal, on the Internet, though.
That is our number one episode. A big deal. Woah. Yeah. So if if you're looking to start somewhere, if you if you're listening to Wake Up Classy 97, the podcast, you're listening to today's show, and you're going, like, yeah, it's okay.
But I wanna hear what everybody else is raving about. Right. Right. Apparently, you should check out the March 17 episode. People are raving about it.
Something like that. Hey. Happy Easter Monday. Oh, yeah. Officially, the observance of Easter.
It is Easter Monday. Had a little too much candy yesterday. I didn't. Did you? No.
Did you have any candy yesterday? No. That's not true. Why are you saying no when clearly the answer is yes? Yes.
I had some candy. I did not have candy. Well, too bad for you. I did, and it was delicious. Okay.
Was it? What'd you have? I had a Cadbury Creme Egg. Oh, which which kind? The original?
Uh-huh. Ugh. They're delicious. Do you know that cream is just made of over sugared milk, like, at the bottom of the cereal bowl? For sure.
Ugh. I ate it. Last hurrah and all that. Yeah. I don't know.
I could probably have to take my shoes off to count the total times you said last hurrah over the weekend. Today no. But today, I brought brought my my lunch and breakfast or good healthy options. Starting fresh today, Josh. I got Good deal.
It's April 21. I gotta get my summer bod in check. Alright. Summer bod. Summer bod.
Cool. Here we go. Well, it isn't officially summer until June, so it gives you Yeah. A good two months. Exactly.
Summer bod, here we come. Here we go. Two month crush it. Good luck. I'm gonna support you whatever you need, but I'm also gonna do it from over here not holding my breath because I know listen.
I'm being supportive. Put your eyebrows away. No. That doesn't sound very supportive. Saying, I know last hurrah is gonna happen.
It might. Doesn't matter. Here we go. K. Easter Monday.
Last hurrah. And that and all that. New beginnings. Spring beginnings. Look at you.
Good morning. There is a writer for the Wall Street Journal Mhmm. Who is claiming that nicknames are going extinct. How so? He has five children, and he is surprised that none of them have nicknames for each other or with their friends.
Okay. And so his his kids are aged six to 18, and he claims all nicknames are in decline. Everything from junior, to calling your buddy from Dallas, Tex. Hey, Tex. And he says it's it's kinda sad to see this because nicknames are often assigned for affection.
Yeah. We have nicknames, and I'm thinking of Emery. She's got nicknames. Her and her friends have nicknames for each other. Pookie.
They call each other Pookie. Terms of endearment, I suppose. It but, you know, I don't I what's this guy taking what's going on around him and then going, nah. This is happening globally? Everywhere.
Yeah. It it must be. I got five kids. I go to the store. I never hear anybody talking nicknames.
But here's the thing. I'm thinking about this going, I hear nicknames all the time. Athletes have all kinds of nicknames. Yeah. You and I have nicknames.
We've gone through a lot of nicknames for each other Right. Depending on the day, depending on the level of annoyance. It's not a nickname that sticks. Yeah. I agree with you.
I don't think nicknames are in danger here. I don't think so either. He claims that they're less common because people are more worried about offending each other. Okay. Again, this is his world view.
This is one dude. Yeah. Who's this guy? He's a writer for The Wall Street Journal. That's it, though.
He and he must have written an article specifically about this. Yeah. And we're talking about it, which is gonna give him clicks. So that's his whole point. That's his job.
His job is to write things that might be controversial to to get a headline out there so that people might talk about it so that he can get paid. Here's a fun Is that what's happening? I think so. Yeah. Here's a fun thing.
Here's a fun Wall Street Journal story. When I was in college Yeah. I took I had to take an economics class Mhmm. And they made us subscribe to the Wall Street Journal. Okay.
And I I think I still owe them some money. Who? The Wall Street Journal? Yeah. They have plenty.
Yeah. I know they do. Do they do you still get bills? I never see any bills. No.
They don't know how to find you. No. They don't. Good luck, Wall Street Journal. I was so mad that I Well, there, we just gave that guy some clicks.
There's your payback. I said I said, you're telling me we have to pay for the Wall Street Journal with our own money? Yeah. He was like, yeah. You gotta you gotta subscribe to this.
I don't even remember how much it was, but I went, I'm a poor college student. You're gonna make me subscribe to this newspaper? And at the time, it was arriving via Print. Print. Yeah.
And so it would show up at my dorm room, mind you. And then they would send me a bill, and I went, what? So the student offer that they have right now is a digital pack because it's all online for the most part. 50¢ a week, then $4 every month as long as you're a student. Okay.
I did not pay. Get it $2 a month for the first year instead of $40 per month. That was cheaper than I don't remember what I paid, but that's cheaper than what I paid. Yeah. The annual offer is $24 for a year.
Not much. I think I probably maybe it was probably, like, $10 a month. Ten to eleven dollars a month, I wanna say. $10 every month gets you the print and digital. But here's the thing.
If you're a poor college student Oh, that's huge. Which I was, I was That's a huge deal. $10? Yeah. That'll get me three meals of Jack in the Box.
That is that is true. That is true. I was so mad about that. You should be. That's more of the story.
More than I this guy doesn't deserve the the time. The real story here is that the school required you to spend $10 a month on a print version of a paper. After I already paid a lot of money to enroll. Yeah. And after I spent a lot of money on buying that If you want me to reference this paper for some reason, provide it.
And that's that's not how it works in college. No. That's I mean, there are certain things, but they're like, oh, you're gonna need this book. It's $400. Yeah.
No kidding. And I require it because I wrote it. Thank you for giving me your money. Maybe maybe that's the deal. Maybe the professor had some maybe he'd written some articles.
He really wanted you to read his byline. With the WSJ? Mhmm. Big time. You should get the WSJ.
You ever read the WSJ? No. No. I don't. Well, I'm gonna make you buy it and read it.
That's what he said. Did you ever read it? No. Are you crazy? So you wasted the money.
You never read it. Well, and then you did never, like, cancel? No. I did. I eventually canceled.
Time out, though, because I'm trying to even think if I pass that class. And then there's that. And then there's that. Alright. Getting to the bottom of it.
Yeah. It was economics. You don't need to know it. Was this, like, the first econ class? Mhmm.
Alright. Yeah. It's a good it's a good building block. It was a general class that you have to take to get through. General general econ?
Like a one zero one? Yeah. Like a real basic? Yeah. And I went, this has nothing to do with my major.
I'm pretty sure. I I would be willing to bet that at this point, it's probably not required, although they do still offer a student subscription Oh. To the WSJ. But it could so it could be. But Could be.
Good luck. If you have to buy a a Don't get the print one. Just get the digital one. It's way cheaper. Yeah.
And less waste. $24 a year if you have to. Yeah. Don't don't buy the paper one. What are you gonna sit around reading the WSJ in your in your hallways of your college looking all studious?
Yeah. Yeah. You can pretend that you're an economics. Major? Major.
Cool. Cool. Cool. Cool. I know.
Right? Right? Yeah. Oh, so I'm I'm over here learning about stocks and bonds. Don't bother me.
I'm busy. I'm down here reading the WSJ about the NYSE. Look at me go. What started this topic? Oh, nicknames.
It yeah. It doesn't matter. Is that what you're gonna say? No. I'm just saying we moved on from the nickname thing because I think that one guy is just trying to get attention to his article.
So don't talk about it anymore. Okay. I'm done. Let him go away. He works for the WSCU.
I didn't even say his name. Yeah. So we'll never know. It's fine. Do you need to say his name?
I don't. Good. Okay. I had I had to sneeze really fast, so it took me a minute. I'm gonna try not to sneeze again, but I feel another one coming.
And you know how it goes when I start sneezing. You don't just sneeze once. Alright. We're gonna try. K.
I can feel it. It's on my right side. Maintain composure. I'm trying. You got this, bud.
It's good news to get you going. Bud, there's a nickname. Today is the Boston Marathon. Oh. Yeah.
Which is cool. It kicks off actually in about eleven minutes. So right here at the top of the hour, they will begin, coverage and, hold on. Oh, no. Two, three.
Alright. Cool. They will begin coverage here in about, ten minutes or so. There is, someone who is participating. Oh, no, Joshua.
This is gonna be the hardest thing to get through. I don't know why I sneeze a hundred times. Alright. 74 year old Ralph, Carmona. He's from Portland.
Seventy Four years old? 74 years old. He will be among the 30,000 runners. 30 thousand runners. Who organizes all of that?
That sounds like a team of people. Just a little nightmare. Crazy. I've been looking at the course map, and they do four races too. Really cool.
So this guy, Ralph, seventy four year old Ralph, he has a goal of finishing in under four hours. Okay. I told you. It's gonna be very difficult to get through. And he also has a goal of raising $10,000 for Alzheimer's research along the way.
Good job, bro. Inspired to raise this money for the cause by his mom who passed away with dementia. A cause is also personal for Ralph because he has been diagnosed with Alzheimer's. Oh. And he has seen the quality of his life improve because of an experimental drug that he's part of testing.
Your face is getting scrunchy. I'm trying to not do it. He does hope that the money that he raises will get scientists to, closer to a cure, but he also believes that running goes a long way toward keeping the mind and the body healthy. The best things you can do to thwart major diseases like diabetes, heart disease, cancer, and Alzheimer's, Ralph says, is to run. Really?
Yeah. So he is doing it. He is doing it. 74 year old. Ralph Carmona from Portland, Maine, will be running the race today.
Well, good job, Ralph. I hope you win. So now you can go to the Boston Marathon website. I've been checking this out this morning. You can actually follow Ralph on his run from start to finish.
So if you're interested in following him because you are interested and you've never done that and you don't live in the Boston area or maybe the marathon has never been of a a thing of interest for you, today is the day where the race happens, and you can follow Ralph Carmona from Portland, Maine, on his journey. 74 years old, running the Boston Marathon today. Good luck. I know. Right?
Ralph. Good luck to everyone else. No. Marathon. Yep.
And, good luck. Underway in about nine minutes. Kudos to those runners. I'm gonna go sneeze now. K.
It's good news. Fun watching your face, Trey. Yeah. Oh, 05:00. Away.
Good news to get you going. My family likes to play some volleyball. It gets a little competitive sometimes. Yeah. Do you have anything else to say?
I don't know. I we played volleyball over, over the weekend. Yes? There was some. We have cross net as well.
Right. So there's always a do we wanna play cross net, or do we wanna play volleyball? Right. I'm always game for volleyball because I don't think cross net is any fun for anyone unless you're tall. Okay.
And if you're playing with a bunch of tall people, then it's not any fun. Yeah. Because I I think, the the taller you are, the easier it is for you to jump up and spike it over the top into somebody's quadrant. Yeah. I get you.
And there's what? Three of the people that are tall, and then the rest of us are like, cool. I guess I'm out again. So it's late. It's totally late.
So we played some volleyball. I got a little competitive. I get a little competitive. I also I didn't see any of that. I don't know what you're talking about.
I also broke my toe. Did you officially I mean, are you how are how's it feeling this morning? Fine today. I think you just sprained it a little bit. You think you sprained your toe?
It was the weirdest thing to see because it was like your foot got stuck in the grass, and you were playing barefoot, which what are you doing? Put on shoes. No. Or you're gonna you're gonna break your toes. I like playing barefoot in the grass.
It's nice. That's what beach volleyballers do. You do tons of stuff barefoot. That's what beach volleyballers do that are trained and pro and in sand. Yeah?
Yeah. I'm a grass volleyballer. Mhmm. You should be wearing shoes. But, anyway, so your foot got stuck or something, and then you, like it was like you were cemented to the ground, and then it came unstuck.
I got the ball over the net, didn't I? I don't remember. No. I probably didn't. More than likely not.
Uh-huh. I don't even know. I think everybody gets a little bit sick of it after a point because there's not a lot of action happening. There's not a lot of volleys going back and forth. Right.
And so then everybody stops keeping score. But you, me, and Beck were on a team of three against my sister, my brother-in-law, and Emery. Right. They're team of three. That was the very last game we played.
Guess what? We tried some positive reinforcement toward it. Is that what what was? And we won. Is that what made the difference?
Yeah. Okay. Okay. I think it was just that the other team was finally tired enough that we we were able to No. I think points.
I think there was some negative reinforcement going on. There was a lot of critique. Mhmm. And we were not performing well because there was too much negativity. Okay.
And I said, I'm gonna turn this around. Started encouraging you. Volleyball game around. Yeah. Yeah.
And I started encouraging you guys. I said, we're gonna win. Let's manifest this. We're gonna win. That is what you said.
You said I'm manifesting a win. And we did. Yes. We did. I think I think the saddest part is that whenever we pick sides and we go to our respective sides when we play with the whole family, people look around and they go, Chantel's on my team.
I don't I didn't hear one person say Really? My brother in law's on that. I didn't hear him say He did. The Chantel's on my team. I might say, I'm not gonna ever be on your team, so I'll go to the other side.
I heard I heard Beck say, I gotta be on this team, but I didn't hear I I never heard anybody say anything directly about being on a team with you. Yeah. Todd did. My brother, the yeah. Okay.
Jerk face. Whatever. You won one We did. Out of? Seven.
Or more, but you got that win. I got that w, baby. Sweet. It was awesome. Yeah.
Spray and toe and all. Should've worn shoes. No. I'm not I'm I'm better barefoot. I don't know that that's true.
Know if that's true either. I just tried it with shoes. Maybe I'll try it with shoes next time. Oh, there'll be a next time? There's always a next time.
Oh. Are you volleyballed out? For a minute. We'll do CrossNet next time. No.
You don't like that either? There's something else. Like what? Spikeball? No.
I don't like spikeball. Something else. Like what? I don't know. Pickleball.
Maybe. Then come up with some ideas. Sitting around the campfire, fishing. That's just a one person activity. Oh, you can come.
You can come hang out. You've fished with me before. Yep. I certainly have. And I've played volleyball with you barefoot.
You'd never play barefoot. No. No. With you barefoot. I've played volleyball with you in your bare feet.
Yeah? It's the same as you going fishing with me. Oh, okay. That's what I'm saying. Alright.
Fun for one. But I'm here. You have fun, don't you? Sure. Oh.
Oh. I didn't know you didn't have fun. That's fine. Oh. I'm playing along, having a good time.
Not as good as if I was fishing. I know. That's your favorite activity. These days. But K.
I'm bending my toe. It's working. Is it? Spraying is gone. Does it it doesn't hurt?
No. Look at you. Totally normal. Let's go. No broken toe.
Fixed it. How? I don't know. Just a little bit of rest. Yeah.
Okay. Good job. Part of, anytime we go to Burley, which is where I'm from Yes. We go bowling. And you you have a lot of, history with bowling in Burley.
Yes. Family has been a part of that bowling alley, your mom specifically for ever and ever. And she retired from the bowling alley, but, your family's had leagues and all kinds of history with bowling and the families involved in the bowling alley and all the bowling things. So it's it's it's a natural thing to say, hey, I'm downtown. Let's hit up the bowling alley.
It's really the only thing to do there in Burling. Alright. So we went bowling on Friday night when we rolled into town. Uh-huh. And Rolled into town and then rolled into the lanes and then rolled some strikes.
Did you get a strike? I did get one strike. Let's go. We played two games. You're gonna be so proud of me because my first game, I got, like, a 58.
Oh. Oh, no. Not my best. Not my best. Yeah.
I was just warming up, though. Just warming up. Second game, 90 something. I don't remember it. Big improvement.
But it was pretty good. Now here's what happens when I bowl. I get bored. No. And so I then try to make up my own games.
Now these new No. These new fancy bowling devices will tell you how fast your ball has been rolled. Right. And we've talked about that before. You've been you've been trying to get a a faster, or were you going for slow this time?
No. I was trying to go fast. You were trying to get the fast I was trying to meet my nephew who had a bowling speed of 14. Okay. I got, like, 11 and a half.
That's pretty good. Never made it to 14, which made me kinda sad. But I turned around and looked, and I went, a 14. And they went, no. That was Cadence.
And I went k. But 11 and a half was my fastest ball. I was pretty stoked about that. That's pretty good. Yeah.
Thank you. Yeah. It was pretty good. I wonder what mine would be. I don't know.
I don't know either. Because you didn't come. You were too busy. Busy camping. Yep.
While you were bowling. Fair trade. We had fun bowling. It was fun. Yeah.
There was some cosmic bowling happening. So the lights were down. The music was up. I was jamming out. That's good.
It was fun. That's a good time. Rolling that speedy ball down the lane. How heavy were you were you Oh, I always go with a 10 pound. Yeah.
You you could've probably had more speed with a bigger one. Probably, but I don't like the bigger ones. I like the I like the 10 pound. Okay. I did get a 10 pound and a 12 pound, but I did better with the 10.
Uh-huh. And then I was, like, chucking it. Any good I had some good form. Thumbs up. Thanks, pal.
That's another nickname. What? Pal? See? I'm just saying.
That guy doesn't know what he's talking about, from earlier in the show. Saying that nicknames are dead? Yeah. No. He doesn't know.
No. He doesn't know. All day. You've had already in the past, like, couple of minutes a a few nicknames. So good.
Alright. Well, congratulations on your bowling speed. Thank you. I'm pretty impressed by my 11 and a half Miles per hour. Mile per hour rolls.
Pretty good. Yeah. I know. It's pretty fast. I know.
Fourteen's faster. I know. Okay. He always wins everything. Was it just the two of you competing?
No one else wanted to get in on that? No. He wasn't even competing. He was just bowling to he was trying to get a high score. Oh, and so you you got I was just trying to beat him Mhmm.
In his speed. Did he know? No. Oh, well Well, kinda. Because when I looked up and I said, 14, he said, no.
That was mine. And I went Uh-huh. So he knew what you were going for. Yeah. He did.
Alright. Sorry you had the slow roll. That's fine. I'm used to being last place. But at least you got that one strike, so good job.
Woot. Well, congratulations. You made cornbread. And, it was great fun to, sit around on, on Saturday afternoon That's when we had our Easter dinner. And, lunch.
And, and and all of the comments about how it'd be great with chili, and they weren't from me. That was great. I was very excited to know that I wasn't alone in thinking that, look, even though cornbread does go with barbecue Yeah. Which is what we had. It's And Listen.
A pulled pork sandwich is not the same as barbecue. Whatever. I made cornbread. You did. And it was delicious.
And, well, mixed reviews. Mixed reviews indeed. I had some. You were very upset that my initial plate did not include cornbread. Yeah.
You said you're not even gonna try it Correct. You said. And I said, I'm not gonna put it on this plate with good food. I'll try it after I'm done with this. And I got a scoop of it because it was a little bit like a casserole more than Yeah.
It was a cornbread casserole. It wasn't you you never said it was a casserole. I didn't know it was a casserole. It was I just thought it was gonna be cornbread. It wasn't.
And then I used the Pioneer Woman recipe. And then as I was making it, my sister said, what recipe is this? What's it called? And I said, oh, it's called cornbread casserole. Yeah.
And it was a casserole. It's just cornbread. It wasn't cornbread. Yeah. It was.
No. I'm gonna take you to go get a real piece of cornbread so that you can go, that's that's it. How was it any different? How Every way. How?
It had corn chunks in it for one. That was my mom's least favorite part. Yeah. She didn't like having, what's the word I'm looking for, gravel to get through. Gravel.
She didn't say gravel. No. But it it's like if you expect bread, which should be like a cake, which is what I'm gonna take you to get so that you can go, oh, yeah. That's cornbread. Whatever.
Guess what? My sister said it was delicious. Yeah. And she's a really good cook. I I get it.
It I expected cornbread. I got casserole, which is not cornbread and also not the thing that it goes with barbecue or chili. Okay. It was its own thing. Listen.
Listen. Listen. Because here's something you don't know. Alright. I made the recipe, went to put it in my pan for it to bake Yeah.
And I went, oh, wait. I thought this was ingredient did you forget? I think this was supposed to have butter. There it is. Butter.
Where's my butter? Yeah. You were supposed to mix in the butter. I had it all laid out, and then I have, like, cheese on the top, like, which is what it said to do. I had to dump it all back in the bowl, put my butter back in, and redo it.
And I told my sister, don't tell Josh. You're bad at directions. I am bad at directions. You're you're not you're not great at step by step directions No. Which is interesting to me because you're a list person.
You like a list, and you like to check things off on a list. So what I think you need Here's what I just read too fast is what I think happens. But but also, you need just a you need remember, overhead projectors? Yeah. And they had the little, clear paper?
Yeah. You need one of those that you can lay on top of the cookbook with a dry erase marker. And as you do a step, you can check it off. That's what you need in your life. And then you go, I have done that, and then you can reread it.
And before you check it and go, yes. Butter is in the recipe now. Check. Yeah. That that might be helpful.
Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. So you made it twice.
Yeah. I was so mad at myself. And my sister kept saying, it's alright. It's alright. It'll be fine.
It was fine, but I went, ma'am. I mean, look. You saw, yesterday afternoon, we were making pizzas, and I made a disaster. So it's not I didn't have directions to follow, but I made a complete disaster of a pizza that then I sort of turned into a burned calzone. Yeah.
But I ate it. I ate my mistake. I ate my mistake too. Yeah. But I didn't say everyone else partake of my mistake.
I just said, this I'll just eat my embarrassment. It was a huge nine by 13 pan. I can't eat that whole thing by myself. And it was still a delicious mistake. I thought it was good.
It just cake it was not or bread or whatever you wanna call it. It was a casserole. It was scooped out with a spoon, and then Well and the hot honey was a nice touch. I did like that. Yeah.
You put that on the top. That was good. I would have put that on real cornbread too, and it would have been great. But you did not make cornbread. You made a corn kernel with some wet bread casserole.
My mom didn't like the Yeah. I thought it was good, but I didn't like the corn in it. It's cornbread casserole. Was I gonna say, oh, shoot. There was something else I was gonna say.
It doesn't matter now. Oh, I I know what I was gonna say. I dumped half of that pan in the garbage because no one else was gonna eat the leftovers. Oh. I hate wasting food.
I hate it. Hate it. Hate it. And I went, I'm gonna dump this. That's sort of what was happening last week.
You said I don't like bringing things because I nobody ever eats the thing I bring. And then we talked about maybe don't try a new thing for the first time for a gathering, but you just went for it. So good job. You did it. It was good.
I liked it. I have no regrets. And you should I'd do it again. 10 out of 10, I'd make that again. You would?
Yeah. I would. I would rather have had cornbread. I expected a a, like, a pan of bread. I know.
I know. No. No. No. You don't.
Because you haven't had the good cornbread that I'm talking about. I gotta take you. You're gonna like it. We won't I won't make you eat barbecue because I know it's not your thing. Yeah.
But they do have some really good, like, burnt ends and stuff you might be really into. I do like the burnt ends. I know. But that's the only part I like. Then you can get just that Okay.
With that cake. It's not even it's not even cornbread. It's not like a little dry muffin. It's so good. Are you saying my cornbread was dry?
It was the opposite of dry. So, no, I am not saying that. Whatever, Josh. What'd you bring? Nothing.
The party. No. I beg to differ. Well, okay. Differ you shall.
Remember how I have told you that my middle name is Danger? Oh, I remember. Do you? Yeah. I do.
But that's not your full middle name because there is, another two parts before that. What is it? Runs from. No. No.
No. No. No. I'll tell you why. Chantel runs from danger.
Because you just got a notification on your phone yesterday when we were driving home Yeah. That I had some risky driving. That is correct. You're a risky driver. Top speed.
Yeah. I have You need to slow down. I was just You're dangerous. I was just following the flow of traffic, man. Man.
But the we just got a new app. Yeah. We've been playing around with this thing. And it gave you a notification that Chantel had some risky driving. Yep.
Risky. Did it tell you what you did that was risky? No. Did it tell you? No.
I thought it was just I think you can go in and find out why you're risky driving. I think it was just that I was going fast. Speed? You think speed was the risk? I think so.
Because I I think it'll even tell you, like, an app usage thing as well. Like, if you if you used an app when you were driving, which you shouldn't like texting or something. Oh, I didn't do that. Yeah. I don't know if that's maybe what your risky driving No.
I was just risky. That. Chantel Risky. Maybe that's my middle name. Maybe not danger, but maybe risky.
Minimal risk. No. I what was my top speed? Do you remember? On on the drive home?
Yeah. It told you. Yeah. It's it said risky drive. 20 risky events.
20? 20 risky events. Look at how dangerous I am. Yeah. Stop being that way.
What were the what were the 20 events? It won't tell me. You've gotta look at it. I don't know. Driving.
I'm looking. Speeding. Speeding. Oh, okay. Okay.
Okay. Okay. Okay. Is it telling you your risky events? It only tells me four.
I don't know I don't know what they are. Okay. I got no speeding. Okay. But I did have one phone usage.
Oh, shame. I did have a hard brake. I hit the brake aggressively is what it says. This is roughly equal to breaking hard enough to slow the vehicle by about eight miles per hour or more in one second. Hard braking may be a sign of speeding.
But listen, I was just following the flow of traffic, and I had two rapid accelerations. Man, my my drive, because I was right behind you, my drive right behind you does not say risky. Mine just says drive. Now this morning, the drive to work, it says, was a safe drive. I completed a safe drive.
Well, dude, good for you. Yeah. Good for you. Yeah. I like that.
Safe drive with a gold star. Now yours has an orange banner on the top that says risky drive. I told you. Chantel risky. Yeah.
I don't I don't care for that. It's my middle name. Even your drive this morning doesn't say safe drive. Why? I've I did nothing wrong.
I was just telling you what you said. Understand. Crazy. Don't even don't even come at me like that. Crazy way you're driving out here.
I I was following the flow of traffic, which is what you're supposed to do. Drive your own drive. I am, but I can't go slow, so I have to go with the flow of traffic. Fast. Oh, yesterday.
Yeah. My risky drive yesterday, my top speed. I know. Did you see it? You're crazy.
Do we wanna say it out loud? No. You don't. Okay. You don't wanna say.
I told you I was following the guy in front of me, and I had to Let him drive his own drive. Listen to me. We were in that construction zone, and so you had to I slowed down once I got away from him, but I had to. I had to. I had to.
There was no other option. Drive your own drive. I was. You don't have to keep up. Let him go.
I did too have to because you had to. There was one lane. Okay. And who's behind you? You.
Me. But then there's people behind you. They don't matter to you. Drive your own drive. You don't have to keep up with the guy in front of you.
Let him go crazy. I can't because Let him have a risky drive. I'm dangerous. No. No.
Chantel danger. You need to not be dangerous. Take the dangerous out of that risky drive. I did. I did.
I got here safely, didn't I? Yeah. Thankfully. That speed, though, I should probably keep an eye on that. You think?
My nephew and his wife are getting they just found out they were having they're having a baby. Yes. She is not feeling well. No. Which what?
You know all too well. I was talking to her a little bit about it, and I said, man, I'm I'm sorry you're going through that. I said, Chantel was sick every day the whole time. She said, please do not wish that upon me. I said, I don't.
I don't wish that upon anyone. It was miserable. I know. I just, you know, it's it's sort of one of those things where everybody goes, oh, let me tell you my story. Let me tell you about let me tell you about the time that I was sick for you know, because I had a a a baby growing.
And it's just crazy because it's this tiny little peanut in there just making you sick as a dog. Mhmm. Both pregnancies for you all. Both pregnancies. I was sick.
No good. And people would say, oh, it's just the first trimester. Like, it'll ease up, or it's just in the morning. No. It did never ease up.
Or they'd say, have you tried this? Have you tried this? Oh, this worked for so and so. Have you tried that? And they were only trying to be helpful.
I get it. Yeah. Nothing helped me. No. Nothing.
No. I was all day, every day For the entire nine months. Entire nine months. Twice. Twice.
Yeah. Lucky me. She and I were talking. She was like, it's such a blessing, isn't it? I said, oh, yeah.
It is a blessing. I was sick so much. Yeah. I remember and then it would just I brought up all of these horror stories when I was sick. When Beck Beck was about five when I was pregnant with Emery, four.
So he was five when Emery was born. Right. I the apartment that we were living in at the time was a split level. Yeah. And I remember I was so sick one morning, and I said, we're just gonna stay up here and watch cartoons.
I because I just don't I can't even be bothered to do anything else. I feel so awful. And he was like, but I'm hungry. And I said, I know, buddy. But there are dirty dishes from last night dinner.
Smell them, you know? Downstairs, I'm gonna hurl. And I remember I remember, like, wrapping a bandana around my nose Yeah. And running downstairs, pouring him a bowl of cereal as fast as I could, and then running upstairs. And he was like, we're gonna eat in your bed.
And I was like, oh, yeah. Yeah. We're not going down there. We're today. We're not going down to the dirty dish yet.
Everything upstairs today. DoorDash didn't exist in the size. Otherwise, I would have been like You still would've had to go downstairs, but, yeah, no. I get you. Man.
I remember working at a job, and there was security cameras in the back. And I was the only one on duty that day, and I had to run-in the back to expel some stuff. Yeah. I was, like, using a garbage can while watching the security cameras being like man. Yeah.
This is miserable. Sorry. So I totally have so much pity for her and anybody else who is sick during pregnancy because it is the pits. And then there's people who just glide through their pregnancy. Good for them.
Yeah. Like, yada yada. I wasn't sick once. Yeah. Lucky ducky doos.
Right? Well, you know, congrats to them anyway. That's very exciting. Thank you. And they have a gender reveal coming up.
Yeah. They do. Which is which is a big deal. So, we'll know soon, and that's exciting times. So, anyway Pregnancy.
Yay. I've been known to listen to a true crime podcast or two. This is a true statement. My You have. Kids have also known this, and they think that a lot of my anxieties stem from these tripods.
You're filling your brain with, with fears and things. Yeah. Is that the idea? Okay. And so they always yell at me and say stop listening to those true crime podcasts.
Uh-huh. So imagine my surprise when me and the kids were driving down to Burley for Easter over the weekend. And I said, I think I wanna listen to a podcast. What do you do you guys wanna listen to something, or do you wanna listen to your put your headphones in and do your own thing? Because they do that too sometimes.
And they said, I would listen to a true crime podcast. And I went, what? What? And Bec goes, yeah. I listen to him all the time.
And Emery goes, I do too. What? You didn't know this about the kids. Did not know this about the kids. Did you know this about the kids?
No. I didn't. So then we had a whole conversation about different podcasts that we listened to, different Okay. Episodes and series that we've each listened to, and I went, I didn't know my kids were also into this. How about that?
Okay. So does that what you ended up doing? Yes. Okay. Cool.
Yeah. It was kind of cool. I mean, interesting. Right? Yeah.
And then we had, like, a long conversation about different different cases and different Wow. It was fascinating. I was like, jeez, guys. You know a lot about this stuff. Tell me not to listen to it, and then they're over here listening to to their own selves.
Well, you didn't even know. I just thought they listened to music and watched YouTube videos. Stories and Instagrams and things. I thought that they were too. I didn't know they were listening to true crime.
I've been listening to true crime. You have? I have. Lucky you. Alright.
You wanna talk about? Yes. What I do. I actually haven't listened for a long time because, yeah, I was starting to get, like, a little bit overwhelmed by all of it. So I went I gotta take a break.
Because you had one you were listening to really regularly, like, all the time. Yes. Is that what you ended up listening to? Yes. Oh, okay.
That's fun. You haven't listened to them in a long time. Which is funny because even Bec goes, I like that host, but I don't like the other host. And I go, me too. Yeah.
And she goes back goes, she doesn't really add anything extra. Alrighty. That's how I feel back too. But you gotta have the back and forth, don't you? Yeah.
I mean, if it was just the one, it wouldn't be the same. Right. So she adds something. There's value there. Okay.
That's true. Well, good. I know. I was like, oh, another thing we can talk about. Another thing we have in common, kids.
Look at that. Look at Making connections. Road tripping. Road tripping. What what's that?
It's my it's my road tripping song. Oh. Wait. I did not know. That's because you weren't road tripping with us.
Apparently, I was road tripping solo listening to my own podcast behind you. That's what I was doing. Did you have a road trip theme song in your car? No. That's too bad.
It is. You're right. It's a shame. I should've I should've, I had walkie talkies. I should've put one Oh, yeah.
You should have. In your car. Road tripping. Road tripping. Good one.
I was reading this thing. It said they were talking about it was a somebody had posted, like, what's the most unhinged sensory issue you you have? And so then I was reading some of the comments, and one of the comments I identified with so much said I can't sleep facing my spouse because I feel like he takes away breathable air. What? And I hate breathing with hot air because it feels like there's no oxygen.
She said, I can't explain it better than that, but that's how it feels. And I can absolutely relate to that. That is rude. No. It's not rude.
You turn away. You go, I'm going to bed. Yeah. Because there's hot air, and I don't like the hot air. I can't breathe that hot air.
There's not enough oxygen. It's just me breathing. Yeah. It's hot air. It's not.
It's just air. Why is it hot air? Because it's because it's your breath. It's not my breath. Hot air breath.
You're not breathing that close to my face. No. I know. No. No.
You're not that close to my face. I don't know what you mean you're breathing hot air. Feels like there's no oxygen. I feel constricted. I feel enclosed.
It feels what's the thing you have when you have that? Claustrophobic. Yeah. It feels claustrophobic. So then I have to I know I can't.
I can do this. I want to. I can. I know you can. Hang in that space all the whole time.
I know you can. I can't. Because there's no hot air in there. There is hot air in there. Nope.
That's because you're taking it all. No. There's no hot air. None left for me. Oh, come on.
And I'm just kidding. I read that, and I went, yeah. I know exactly what that feels like. Also, another weird sensory issue that people had, you're in bed and you roll over to face the other side, but your pajama pants don't roll over with you. Oh.
So now they're sitting incorrectly on your body. Wear shorts. I can't do I can't do pant legs or socks. I can't do it. And I can't do sleeves.
Like, if if there's a shirt, it's gotta be a tank top. Like, I can't do stuff in my armpits when I'm sleeping. I had a friend who couldn't stand his legs touching when he sleeps. Legs touching? Yeah.
I don't know if he still is like this. An interesting thing. And so he had to wear something, his bare legs. I see. Had to wear pants so that his legs wouldn't touch.
That's a strange thing, but I get it. People have quirks. I don't know. I just, I can't do drapery type clothing when I'm trying to sleep. I just I can't I can't imagine that long gown thing that Pa wore when he when he arose to such a clatter.
I can't imagine sleeping in that. In a dressing gown? No way. No way. Because that would get all twisted every time you move.
Miserable. That would be miserable. I agree with you there. That'd be worse than hot air breath. There's no hot air breath.
I've been there. It's from me. It's not hot air breath. There's no oxygen. There's a lot of it.
I have to turn away. Well, see you later then. Sorry, Joshua. I still like you. Personal.
No. It shouldn't. It does. It feels like you're mad about hot breath. No.
I'm not mad about it. I'll just see you in the morning. Good night. You're over here in my own air zone. Makes sense to me.
Yeah. Hot air. Oh. Josh, what's up? If your belly button was a real button that did something every time you pushed it, what would you want it to do?
What kind of question is this? It's a belly button question. No. It's the belly button question. I said it's a belly button.
Oh, there's more? I mean, I'm sure. But Have you, answered the belly button question? Oh, and I want it to do? If you if you could push the button and anything could happen, what would happen?
Yeah. I'd want it to be something Silly. Silly. Yeah. I'd want it to be something a little bit ridiculous.
Like, to play? I think I'd probably want it to play a soundtrack. So, like Like what? Like, danger zone comes on? No.
No. Ready to take off an airplane? Just depending on what kind of situation you were in. I want I would want it to be like, if if you're on a date, play a love song. If you're at a funeral, play a sad song.
If you're at a wedding, play I would wanna, like and I would tell it what to push. So I'd push my belly button to say, play a love song. Yeah. You already have that on your phone. Yeah.
But it could go everywhere with me. Which your phone does. So I don't need that. You don't want that? No.
I wanted to do something spectacular That's pretty spectacular. But also pointless. Mine is also spectacular and pointless. No. Yours has, like, a theme to it.
Like, I want mine to just be like, why did that happen? And then people would be like, because Josh has a magic belly button, and when he pushes his belly button Confetti shoots out. That kinda thing. Like, out of nowhere, poof, and then streamers. Except I don't wanna be responsible for cleaning that up.
So it's also gotta not make a mess. Maybe fireworks? Maybe. But I couldn't do that indoors. I'd like to be able to do it wherever I'm at.
Okay. What would you do? Something spontaneous, ridiculous, absurd, and pointless. But e also easy cleanup. Or no cleanup.
Okay. Like, maybe it's a hologram of confetti. Oh. So you get the impact, but there's no actual mess. Maybe it's a hologram period of, princess Leia.
Help us, Obi Wan. What what? What? I don't want that. I don't need princess Leia going, help us Obi Wan.
I don't no. Okay. Alright. Need r two d two projection belly button. K.
So we know what you don't want. We just gotta figure out what you do want. Interesting, Josh. Mhmm. We'll think of something.
Yeah. Your belly button's gonna do something. I know it. I just know it. What a strange question out of complete nowhere.
On the Internet, and I went, this is a fun one. Let's ask this. Because we're ridiculous. We say silly things. Were there some decent answers?
Were there any answers? Well, the problem with the answers is that I they're all sound clips. Oh, I see. And I don't have speakers on my computer. So you don't know.
I don't know what any of the answers are. I see. That's okay, though. We don't need anybody else's answers. We just need to talk about our answers.
This is true. This is true. I just was curious if people had greater ideas. If you pushed a button and then, like, a tray of food popped out? For what?
I don't know. If you're hungry. Like, oh, here's But what again, to go along with my silliness line, if I pushed it and, like, a Twinkie came out Yeah. Like, there you go. Exactly.
Some sort of random snack. Yeah. And you never know what you're gonna get. Could be a hot dog. It's a packaged treat.
It's never gonna be a hot dog. It's never gonna be a hot dog. You don't know? I do know. It will be a a treat that people like.
It won't be some greasy hot dogs out of nowhere. What do they call them? Glizzies? Yeah. It's not gonna be that.
No. They'd be something nice. Something nice. Yeah. Some people like hot dogs.
Good for them. I'm not going to produce body hot dogs Okay. When you push my belly button button. That's kinda gross. Now you got yeah.
Now you made it weird. That's why I said it's gotta be something nice. You made it gross. I didn't bring up the hot dog. I did nothing.
Alright. Blame this on me. I'll play music. I'm standing by my answer. Yeah.
That's what a phone does. I can already do that. Yeah. But not your belly button. No.
But I can already do it with my phone. Nice. And you're gonna talk to it and tell it what to play. Yeah. I can do all of that with my phone.
Yeah. But it's cooler for you. Just push your belly button. No. I think so.
No. I'm going with that. If you push your belly button and a little door on your back opened up for a cassette, like a Teddy Ruxpin, then I'd be impressed. But that's not what you said would happen. So I don't want that anyway.
Yeah. Cassettes? I want new technology, not cassettes. Or you push the button and it pops open, and you can rewind the VHS in your back. No.
Dumb. Yeah. Pointless, absurd, unnecessary. Easy cleanup. No cleanup at all.
Yeah. And helpful for people that still have VHS they need to rewind. So that's what you get. Good luck finding those people. Yeah.
They're around. Yeah. I know. Few and far between. Yeah.
They're collectors. I've got a whole basement full of VHS tapes. Hey. Hey. Hey.
Push my belly button. Be kind. Rewind. It is the would you rather this or that question of the day. Would you rather have a body double to use as a stand in at boring times That sounds cool.
Or a stunt double to perform daredevil acts for you? Nah. It's the boring times. Yeah? Yeah.
What would you do while your step double or your body double is at your boring events? Not be there. Go do the boring thing. Yeah. I think I'm gonna pick that one too.
I'll catch up with you after the boring thing. I'm gonna be not doing that. Yeah. I get what you're saying. I'm gonna go do something fun.
You hang tight here. Right. Pretend to be me. That's what we gotta figure out. We gotta get all of this, you know, AI creating art and AI making music and AI doing all that.
Quit taking away the creative fun things. Use AI to do the boring things so that I can do the fun things. Yep. That's what has to happen. That is what has to happen.
We've talked about this many times, so somebody get on that. Right. That's the thing that needs to happen. Have it do all the stuff that I don't wanna do so I can do the stuff I wanna do. Yeah.
Hey, AI. Sit in on this meeting that I don't wanna be at. Which it can do that, and it'll take notes and just record what happens, but it's not gonna be a good representative of the things I needed to talk about. So fix it. And plus, also, I don't need a stunt double to do my dangerous stuff because I already do do that.
That's right. Because danger Is my middle name. Runs from danger is my middle name. Away from Yeah. Danger.
Stubbs her toe away from danger. Yeah. You know? Breaks her toe. Yeah.
It's not broken. You said it was moving. You're all good. Sprains her toe while moving. Sprains toe.
Oh, alright. Well That's what I got. This or that. This has been another episode. Would you rather this or that?
