It is. You know? Yeah. It is. Oh, no.
They're just stacked up. Why oh no? Why oh no? Oh, because it's just one where I get older. Yeah.

You see, unless I take the day off from my other job Yeah. Work this one, and then I go give myself a birthday nap. Oh. This doesn't So that's when you'll catch up on the sleep. From from the tiredness of today, you can wait until your birthday to, to give yourself a a little bit of a You never catch up on sleep.
Don't you know? Yeah. Don't you know? Yeah. Never.
They'll never catch up. Well, good morning. We are in the studio. We are here live. If you need us here.
We are. You can call us. (208) 525-9797. Is that from Horton Here's a Who? It is, Josh.
Do you know I saw a guy the other day who, was starting to put things together. He was like, doctor Seuss, wrote Horton Here's a Who. Yes. He said doctor Seuss wrote the Grinch. Yes.
And the Grinch was in Whoville. Yes. And then he he was, like, having a moment of, like, clarity slash complete confusion, and then sadness at the thought that the Grinch might be so tiny that he just lives on a on a clover. He's like, does he live on a flower? Is the Grinch tiny?
And he was not he was not okay. Oh, the Grinch is tiny. Yeah. The Grinch is probably tiny. Lives in Whoville.
Which is on a flower. Yeah. Poor guy. He was having a breakdown. Funny.
Alright. Well, good morning. Good morning. Listen to this. Get a load of this, as they say.
K. Having a pet Yeah. Makes you as happy as having an extra $90,000 a year. Nuh-uh. That's what they say.
Do you feel that? No. No. Do you know? We have we have Jack, Jack Russell Yeah.
Luna. Yes. She's the wonder Jack Russell because you wonder what's up with that thing. Yeah. What's up with that thing?
I wonder. No. Yeah. What is up with that thing? They said the study found that having pets ups the happiness level so much is the equivalent of making an extra $90,000 a year.
I kinda feel like I'd rather have the extra $90,000. Like, I I like having Luna around. I I I love having Stella around. I like having dogs. I think, you know, it's nice.
It adds to the family. It adds to the warmth of the home. It's a silly little thing. I don't know. But I know.
But She's a delight. So I think is. I think that there is something to having having that companionship and whatever. As crazy as our dog is, it's nice to come home and be like, those dogs, the two dogs that we've had For sure. None of you ever greet me the way that those dogs do.
Well, I'm I'm not I'm not That dog is so happy to see you. Hey. Hey. Hey. She loves me more than you guys do because she's like, I've been waiting all day for you.
I can't believe you're home. Right. I am so excited that you're home. Day. Every day.
Right. And sometimes twice a day. Yeah. If you leave and run an errand and come back, she's like, hey. You came back.
Oh, aye yai. Yeah. So so that's special. I I know. It is special.
And I appreciate that. But, also, $90,000 sounds pretty nice. $90,000? Sounds awesome. I will say too that that dog is nuts.
She's crazy. But it keeps you on your toes. Right? Like, it forces you to get out and get some exercise. Sure.
It it's fun. It's just fun to take her to the store, and she got a haircut yesterday. Yeah. That was kinda fun because you were like, hey. New dog.
New dog. You drop off a shaggy dog, and you pick up this new dog. It's a weird experience. But, no, I I I I agree with the sentiment. I think it's if they're saying it's equivalent happiness, then I know what it would be like to have an extra $90,000.
But that $90,000 is gonna be waiting for you wagging its tail when you get home. Oh, yes. It will. It's not gonna be like, hey. Yes.
It will. Hey. It's gonna be sitting in the bank going like, hey. What do you wanna do? Like, where do you wanna go?
What do you wanna what do you wanna buy? Is that right? The study also said that being married ups your happiness by the same amount of money. And how do you feel about that? So good.
What is that? What does that mean? Yeah. I would agree. I mean, I'm pretty happy.
Right? I'm happy. I'm happy. Sell it. Man.
No. I mean, $90,000 still sounds pretty good. Yeah. No. Stop it.
You know that that's not what I mean. I like being I like being married to you. It's fun. I like being happy. I like being happy.
Yeah. Being happy is married to you. Alright. It's fun. There you go.
With a dog With a dog. And $90,000. Anything about kids. Oh, well, there you go. Can we stack on 90 to the dog and the marriage?
Yes. Just be like, hey. Hey. I'm trifled happy. I couldn't be happier.
I I got the money. I got the marriage. I got the dog. Yeah. All things good.
That's right. Now this is gonna start out. It's gonna sound kinda weird, but I promise you, it's good news. Okay. Okay.
You going. It's not every day you hear about a police officer wrangling a fugitive and then bringing her home to live at his house. What? But that's basically what sergeant Ted Lewis of Westtown East Goshen Regional Police Department in Pennsylvania did recently. I said it's gonna start with weird.
Interesting. The department got a call about a pony running loose on the highway, and sergeant Lewis was the first officer to arrive at the scene. He put a dog leash around the pony's neck and was immediately taken by how friendly she was, and they immediately formed a bond. Lewis says she just walked down the street with me like it was her daily job. When I met the horse, it was just a sweet, sweet horse.
The pony is named April. It had somehow gotten free from a nearby horse rescue farm where she had been surrendered just a day earlier. Aw. And offer officer Lewis did not wanna bring her back, and so he said, can I adopt this horse and let her live at my family's farm? And the rescue was finalized, and April is now home with officer Ted Lewis.
And that's a weird little story about how an officer adopted a horse. A pony. A pony. But why was the horse why was she surrendered? I don't know.
Oh. A number of reason. They couldn't take care of her. It's expensive to see the horse. There's a lot of a lot of reasons, but that's, you know, something somebody had to make a tough decision on.
Oh. Yeah. My pony's gonna have a nice little life now. That's what I'm saying. April.
Yeah. April and Tony. Ted. It's April and Ted. She's gonna be the new crime fighting pony.
You know, I there are horseback officers, in New York and stuff. I'm sure Pennsylvania could could use a It's gonna be Kevin. An old timey sheriff. A drug sniff and pony. I don't know that they teach the horses to sniff drugs.
This pony is gonna be the one to do it. Okay. It's gonna be a new sitcom. Just you wait. Ted and the pony.
Ted and the pony. Is that what it's called? Yeah. I call it good news to get you going. It's National Siblings Day.
I have one of of those. You do? You have two of those. Do you? A brother and a sister.
I, you are the baby. Yes. I am the oldest. I have a younger sister. And, and that, I think works for us, but also you being the baby is a little bit much sometimes because you're also older than me.
So it's such a conflict where you're like, yeah. But I'm older, but I'm also the baby. Well, you have to announce to everybody that I'm older than you. You're older than me. Why?
Not by, like, ten years or anything. Like, you're barely older than me. By, like Not even a whole year. Yeah. By, like, nine months.
Send it down. You're the one all crazy about it. I You have to tell everybody. Oh, she's older than me. This is I didn't say, oh, no.
She's older than me. I just threw it in there. Okay. Rewind. Let's go back.
To what? To siblings' day. We were still there. We never left. You got off track.
You started talking about me being older than you, and you got us off track. Let's go back to the track. Do you think that you and your sibling are different? Are my sister and I different? Yes.
We're different people. Yeah. Well, yeah, you're different people. But your beliefs, your Oh, I I don't know. Oh, I I couldn't tell you.
Because I think of I am very similar to my sister in a lot of ways Yeah. But so very different in other ways. Well, I think that's true. I mean, we have shared parents. We grew up in the same house.
So there's there's upbringing similarities for sure. But then when you go into being adult lives, like, we're both over 40. Like, that we've we've burned our own trails, so to speak. You know? I don't know I don't know what Did you and your sibling ever have a fight, like, a physical fight before?
There's one time that, I was a big brother pestering big brother, and she was in taekwondo class for a while. And there was one time when she fought back and got me. And I'm positive she remembers that more than any other altercation or argument or anything as kids. The one time she she got me, and I think the whole family went, that's what you get? Yep.
Take that. You play with fire. I had an older brother, so I'm on her side. Yeah. I'm on little sister's side.
You would be. Yeah. Because my brother did all kinds of crazy things to me. He would just yank me off the couch. I would just be sitting there, minding my face.
Head on the floor. Yeah. And he would come and just grab my foot and drag me off the couch. And then sit on the couch where you were or then leave? No.
Just walk away. There was no purpose to it. He just wanted to be a pest. Yeah. I know.
And then one time Oh, here we go. Did you get him? No. Oh. Well, a different time.
There was one time my sister and I were home alone. We were young, and we heard a commotion in the back. In the back? In the back of our house. Yeah.
And she said, go see what it is. I said, well, I'm not going alone. I'm not doing this alone. And she's she grabbed a butter knife, and she said, you go first. I'll cover you.
And she pushed me in front of her. That checks out. I think she'd still do that to this day. I think she would. She's still the person that would hear a a rose such a clatter in the back and then be like, somebody go check that out.
I'm not going. Yeah. You go, Chantel. I'm not I'll cover you. Yeah.
And then she just ran away. Yeah. She did run away once when we were camping. We were taking a walk, and there was a snake. Uh-huh.
And she ran away and left me with the snake. I think that still happened today. I think you and the snake would be pals, and she would be long gone. Yeah. She hasn't changed much.
You're right. No. No. No. Same person.
Well, happy, siblings day to Yeah. To your siblings and my sibling. And If you've got siblings. To be sure to Tell them. Post them Punch them in the arm or whatever.
Unattractive photos of them. Unattractive photos. That's what I used to do on sibling day. Here's a photo I took them in the arms that you said. Yeah.
Happy sibling day. Punch. Two for pleasure. Yeah. You know, all the fun stuff.
I need to do that to my brother the next time I see him. Two for Flinching? Yeah. I owe him. Alright.
He'll never see it coming. No. He won't. Yes. Happy siblings day.
Yo. Yo. What's up? I just, you know, hanging out. What are you doing?
Oh, nothing. Okay. I, saw an opportunity for a mother son date night at a local restaurant. Uh-huh. It says zoom on over to our mother son date night.
Zoom. Is it, is it car relations? It's a it's a race cars? Yes. That's start your engines is a race car thing.
Correct. And you get, like, a limo ride, I think. And Okay. Yeah. All kinds of stuff.
And I saw have a 20 year old son Yeah. As as do I. He's our son. He's 20 years old. Are you wanting to take him on the Zoom Zoom thing?
The thing, isn't it? I date night. I was like, oh, how fun. And I took a picture of it, and I sent it to our son. Yeah.
And he completely ignored me. He hasn't replied. Not even come back. Read the message. Yes.
But he didn't reply. So does what does that mean? I think that means he doesn't wanna go on my date night with me. You think? I'm gonna have to find a new son to go on a date night.
Alright. I said, Beck. Mhmm. And send him the picture of the event. And he hasn't replied?
Nope. When is it? I sent him that text on Tuesday. Okay. It's on May 12.
Okay. You got plenty of time. Send it to him every day until he responds. I should. Make him a poster board with candy bars on it, and then ask him to go on a date night with you.
Beck, please go on a date with your mother. Right. Beck, please. Your mom. It's your mom.
Hey. It's your mom. Remember me? Come on a date with me. Well, that sounds like a fun time.
We used with some food and We used to separate. You and I would separate and take our kids out on Yeah. Dates. You would take Emery on a date. I would sneak back on a date, and then we'd swap.
Yeah. That hasn't happened in a long time. No. It's been a long time. We need to do that again.
A fun time. We, I I know I still have the pictures. Emery and I went and did, like, one of those photo booths. You take a bunch of silly pictures. We went and had dinner, and then we did that.
I'm trying to remember what else we did. Some kind of dessert or something. Anyway Well and Beck and I like sushi. You and Emery don't necessarily like sushi. That's correct.
So we always That's how that started. That's right. Talked about going to get sushi. And we did. We've but it's been a long time.
Yeah. We went and got burgers and tots because we love tater tots. I could eat tater tots right now. You do like tater tots. Yeah.
And everybody just likes potatoes of any kind. I know. But especially tater tots. They're so good. She made her own tater tots.
I know she did. They're very good. Yeah. Like, tater tots are where it's at. How am I gonna get my 20 year old to go on a date with me?
I told you. It's a poster board with candy bars on it that make a funny sentence. But he's gotta say yes. If I make a night, he's just gonna look at it and then walk away. I know him.
I know what he's gonna do. I'll never get an answer, and then I'll have to pester him. And then he'll say, sure. You might just have to surprise him on that day because he's not even gonna remember. No.
He won't. And so then, you'll just you'll just surprise him on the day. You'll go, hey, buddy. Please go on a date with me. Please.
Is that too much begging? It it might be. I gotta come off I gotta play it cool. Yeah. Yeah.
But I guess it's no big deal. It's no big come if you want, I guess. But Yeah. I mean, it'd be cool. Either way, I'm gonna go.
So I'd be nice to have some company. But if you want to, call me back. Like, are you buying dinner? Yeah. Exactly.
It was such a big day yesterday for our daughter, and I was so happy that we both got to be there Yeah. To to watch it all happen. She is, pole vaulting, in track and field in high school. And this is, this is her first year, on the team as a pole vaulter, and, they they've been practicing a lot. She's been putting in a lot of hard work.
She practiced with the team a little bit last year, but couldn't actually compete in pole vaulting, but it got interested in it, and is actually doing it this year, which is, as you said yesterday watching, like, this is nothing I would have even even tried. They never would have been on my radar ever. And I know, like, when I started running cross country in high school, both my parents were like, I don't know where this idea that you can just run came from. And I'm like, I don't know. I had a friend, in who was a a year older than me who was like, you should come check it out.
And so, I did, and I enjoyed it. And I got to pal around with people, and I like being part of that team. And it was just a good experience, so I stuck around and ran. Okay. And I thought what she she likes kind of a similar thing.
The people on the team. Yeah. She's having a great time. She likes the coaches, and she's having fun. And yesterday was the first time that she has made it Yeah.
She over the bar. The bar. Yeah. Cleared the bar. It was a big day.
Let's go. My favorite part is I took a video, and she celebrates. As soon as she hits the mat Right. You could see her, like, celebrating. She was so happy.
It was it's a big deal. A huge deal. This was what? The third or fourth meet, that she's been at? Yeah.
Fourth. I think. And, and she struggled to get over, to clear the bar and, first first time. And just huge little I and not huge little. That's that's an oxymoron, but she she, as you said, landed and had, like, a yes.
And then went, oh, yeah. I gotta get off the mat. Here we go. But just a moment in time. It was so cool.
Yeah. So good to see it. And, and you got to be there, which was great. And she also does long jump. Uh-huh.
And she Personal bested there too. Yeah. She had a big day. I know. So pretty pretty awesome.
Something I would never do. You want me to run and jump? Yeah. From a from a a specific point, and your toe can't go over the line or else you, get no points. You want me to run with a long stick Yes.
And then put that stick on the ground and hoist my body over? That's right. No. I'm not gonna do that. But my daughter does, and she's pretty cool.
That's right. Yeah. So, big, big day, at the at the track, yesterday. So way to go. Way to go, kid.
Yeah. It's super cool. Anyway and then big hugs. That was fun. That was fun.
She was she was way excited. Stoked. So yep. And I was pretty stoked. I cheered a lot.
Yeah. In the video, it's funny because, what's the noise you make? Yes. Yes. Okay.
So I gotta rehash this story a little bit because a couple of weeks ago, we did a would you rather we play a little game called would you rather every day. And there was one particular day that I said, would you rather answer every phone call saying boo you Yes. Or hang up every phone call saying Ain't no thang. And no thang. I remember.
Okay. It was a good conversation. Later that day, I walked into my therapy appointment, and the woman who was leaving my therapist Right. In passing said to me, booyah. Booyah.
And I went Was it was it was it just booyah, or was she like, booyah? No. It was like a quiet like a booyah. Because it's like a quiet Okay. You don't know what people have been talking about at therapy, so you wanna keep it kind of reverent and quiet.
And it's it's a little bit of a It's a good kind of vibe. Okay. So she just very quietly in passing, booyah. And I went, did I did I hear what I think she said? And my therapist even said, what did she say?
Right. And I said, I think she said this, which is hilarious Right. Because we just talked about that on the show. And I loved it. I thought it was hysterical, and I was kicking myself all day that I didn't follow her out of the door and say, hey.
Did you just say boo you to me? Because that's amazing. Okay. And I don't go to therapy every week. I go every other week.
And so I've been waiting for weeks now to see her again and say, hey. That was so funny that you said that to you too. Yeah. Yeah. So my chance came yesterday Right.
When I would see her again in passing and say something. Uh-huh. And guess what I did? You didn't say anything. Chickened out.
You didn't say anything. Why didn't you say anything? Because I got flustered and because I second guessed myself and because I was like, she didn't really say boo yeah. Like, that was all in your head. She didn't say that at all.
She said boo yeah to you. She did. She intended to say booyah to you. Yes. She should've said I know.
Booyah to you too. I know. Or, ain't no thing. I know. And the whole time in therapy, I'm kicking myself going, I should've said something.
All day yesterday, I'm like, you you you beefed it. So so in therapy, you're going, how do I get more, easily that I can say boo yada people? Is that what Yeah. Okay. Good.
Alright. Good. We're working through it. Yeah. That's what that's what it's about.
My therapist is like, this this session is a joke. Yeah. That's great. Move out of the way so I can deal with people who have real issues. No.
I think you might be on that list. Hey. There ain't no shave in my therapy. No way. Absolutely not.
I think it's great that you go, and I think it's awesome. So So now I have to wait again Yeah. For two more weeks until I see her. Okay. Unless unless she happens to be listening at this very, very moment.
Alright. In which case, you could you could take care of it now. Say, hey. I see you. Right.
And boo you. And boo you back at you. Boo you. And I'm sorry that I chickened out and didn't say anything because I'm a weirdo and second guess myself because I knew that. But that's that's awesome, though.
I think that's great. I think that's really cool. And what a funny, little thing in passing. I know. I think that's so cool.
I think it's so cool too. Yeah. Yeah. That's that's awesome. Ain't no thang.
Yeah. Well, to to this person, whomever you are, thank you for listening. I know. And, and, ain't no thang. Sorry.
I'm a weirdo. You're working on it. I am. We've been talking a lot about sourdough bread. Yes.
But have you heard of dandelion bread? Well, we've got dandelions in the front yard, which I was excited to see. But this is dandelion bread. Knew that you could eat dandelions? Sure.
This is dandelion bread. It's a soft, subtly sweet loaf made with real dandelion petals. Okay. Which recipe are you looking at? I'm looking at, a recipe that says you need one cup of clean dandelion petals.
You have to make sure they are fresh, and ideally on a sunny day when they're fully open, and then you pinch or cut off the yellow petals from the green base. Okay. A few bits of the green are okay, but too many will create a bitter flavor. Uh-huh. And then you have to rinse and pat the petals dry, and then you mix it with some flour and some baking soda and baking powder, not baking soda.
The yellow petals of the dandelion. That's interesting. Okay. I kinda wanna make it. We have dandelions in the front yard.
It looks like you need a lot more than we have. What do you mean? I just need to make a large well, you're right. This recipe that I'm looking at is one cup of dandelion flower petals, some all purpose flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, vegetable oil, coconut milk. Do you have that in yours?
Uh-uh. No. And a squeeze of lemon juice and some sugar. And then you can also make a lemon glaze to go on the top. That's not what I have.
My name looks amazing. You bake until golden and enjoy it warm with honey. You drizzle a little bit of honey or cheese on top. Interesting. I kinda wanna make this.
Kinda weird. I kinda wanna try it, though. Don't you? Do we have enough dandelions? I think we have a few.
I think we I think we need a cup. Okay. But here's the thing. I know a lot of people spray spray weeds and stuff. I know.
We don't because I like the dandelions for the bees and stuff. It's the, like, the earliest spring flower the bees get, and so I like to leave them out. I don't care. Like, my yard turns yellow, and that's fine with me. Yeah.
Who cares? Dandelions are pretty. I like them. I don't I don't mind. I people don't like them.
I I don't care. It's just grass. And so I'm I'm curious about it, but, also, like, I don't know what this might actually taste like, and so I'm a little nervous about it. Why it says don't put any of the green bits in there because then it's gonna create a bitter. It's got a little it's my recipe says it's got a sweet a subtly sweet Yeah.
This one says that the the new it's a nutritional goodness, a honey like sweetness of dandelion flowers. It's tender. It has a soft cake like crumb, slices beautifully, and tastes so good that you'll wanna make it again and again and again. I am gonna make this tonight. I promise you.
Yeah. I don't know if we have I don't think we have a cup of dandelion. I I think we do. Plus, I just said they're for the bees. I know.
I know you did. I mean, if we wander through a park and maybe we find some I don't know. I don't know about stranger dandelions. I think maybe let's Strange. Hang out until we know that our dandelions are are good.
Stranger dandelions. I think because it's been warm for a couple I think we're gonna have more today that have popped up. I'm telling you. I'm gonna make this. I'm making this tonight.
Don't even stand in my way. I'm gonna send you the recipe that I found as well because mine looks like a, lemon cake Oh. Which I think is I think is awesome. Well, how many dandelions does your recipe? One cup.
Okay. Yeah. So it's the same. I'm I'm emailing it to you right now. This is the sound of me sending you an email.
Riveting radio. There you go. It's in your email. Okay. So you can we can take a look at the two recipes and decide which we like better.
Okay. I I'm curious about it. I'll report back. We will have to film some of this for social media. Only get a half a cup of dandelions.
I'll just half the recipe. That probably would be okay. Tiny loaf. Make a baby loaf, which is probably a better idea anyway. Right.
Because if it's gross, then you're not wasting a lot of ingredients. Right. Except for it calls for one egg. Mine doesn't mine doesn't call for an egg because it has coconut milk instead, which we have. I do have coconut milk.
Right. We'll see. Alright. You make your loaf, I'll make my loaf, and we'll see. Now we need two cups of dandelions.
See? Pipes. Right. We'll we'll get it taken care of. Dandelion bread will have an update.
I'm curious about it. Yeah. Forget sourdough. Dandelion bread is all the rage. Okay.
Big announcement. Big, huge. I was just looking at it. Yeah. Because I it's posted on Facebook.
So that means it's, like, official. It is official. It's it's super, super official. The twenty sixth annual second chance prom. That's right.
The Facebook event went up yesterday. We've got more details on the way. But if you want to, mark your calendar, we've been getting, several different emails Mhmm. Facebook messages and, phone calls even. People when is it when is it happening?
It's happening. May 17. That's right. It happens, around the same weekend, every single year, that like, I'm looking back clear to 2021. It's the same weekend.
So I'd probably just mark that one down and circle it, and then every year ago is probably this weekend. And then you'd be pretty good. But here's the deal. Twenty sixth annual second chance prom, as you said, Saturday, May 17, '8 PM to 11PM. It's gonna be at the waterfront at Snake River Landing.
That's where we've had it the past little while. So if you wanna be, a part of it, it's gonna be a ton of fun. It is. The theme this year So, imagine twinkling lights, greenery, a dance floor in in, like, a magical forest. That's kind of the idea.
Right? Excited. Music, refreshments, dancing. That's right. And you can refreshments.
You can dress the theme, or you can just come as you are. Or make your own theme. Sometimes there's people that come, and they're like, yeah. We just trust in our own theme. That's cool too.
Yeah. It's I mean, it's an enchanted forest. Come have fun. Come have come have a party with us. May 17, waterfront at Snake River Landing in Idaho Falls, Eight PM to 11PM.
We will have ticket information very soon, but mark your calendars now. Like, if you plan on going to the twenty sixth annual second chance prom, circle May 17, write prom in there, Get ready to ask your date. Oh. Mhmm. You better ask me.
Do that promposal thing. We're doing this again? Yeah. You never asked me prom. A built in prom date.
You still need to ask, bro. It would just be nice to be invited. It would be just nice to be asked. The organization of the thing. I know, but I still need a date.
Alright. Twenty sixth annual second chance prom. We'll see, there, May 17. There's refreshments. There's and dancing and music and us And refreshments.
And refreshments. Yeah. Would you ever, be pranked and then hold on to that as sort of a revenge grudge for a while until you could exact that revenge upon the person? I guess it depends on the prank. Last year, this lady sent her husband to the store for something that didn't exist, which is a which is a funny Yeah.
Prank. It's hilarious. I need you to go she didn't say what. It's like trying to find the elbow grease in the closet. Yeah.
Or blinker fluid or Yeah. Hand breaks. That was one that happened to me when I was working construction. And, anyway, there was a bunch of different, fun little things like that that people do to each other. So last year, this lady sent her husband to the store for something that didn't exist.
He waited an entire year to get her back. She was at the Home Depot. He sent her a text and said, hey. While you're there, can you grab me a left handed screwdriver? And she actually went and asked somebody where she could find it.
She said well played, but for a whole year Is He's still sitting on that. And finally, the opportunity came up, and he went, this is it. So they called the long con. That's, that's strong. Waiting a whole year to get somebody back and then to pull a prank that is so similar and then just blindsides her.
And I wonder if he's just he's been quietly sitting on that, like, I gotta I don't have the perfect idea, but there's something that's gonna hit one day, and it's gonna be the perfect time. And he was like, oh, today is the day. Oh, she's at the hardware store. This is it. Hey.
While you're there, I'm working on this thing. I really need a left handed screwdriver. Will you grab one? And she asked and she did. Hey.
Where would I find a left handed screwdriver? Same place you'd find the right handed screwdriver. Because they're just a screwdriver. Genius. Do we know what she sent him to the store for?
No. She never said. Oh. Just that she sent him to the store a year ago for something that didn't exist, and then I did. Waited a whole year.
There were years and years ago when I worked with I worked with some younger people than me, and they were cleaning something. And they were like, I just can't get this clean. And I said, oh, you gotta you gotta get the elbow grease. Mhmm. And they were looking in the closet.
They actually were looking for the can of elbow grease. And they said, oh, it's in there somewhere. You gotta keep looking. Keep looking. You'll find it.
That's perfect. It's great. Anyway, well done. A year long. Long con.
Man. If there's a new business that comes into town Uh-huh. Are you one of those people that is there waiting in line the minute they open? I've been that person. Have you?
Because of, like, like, being in media, I say with quote fingers. Because they'll be they'll they'll be like, hey. We're gonna do, like, a live broadcast thing at the grand opening. And so I've been at those things. Yeah.
You have to set up lots and lots of people and stuff. But as a stand in line. Yeah. No. As a consumer, as somebody who's like, oh, there's new things here.
I wanna go check it out. I will wait a couple of weeks. Me too. Me too. I've never been the person that's like, no.
I gotta have that right now. I gotta go wait in line to get it. I just Now that's for a business opening. A video game coming out, a different story. Is it?
Yeah. I like a midnight release. You haven't done that in a long time. But I really enjoyed that. There's only one time I stood in line for it was a book release.
It was the seventh Harry Potter. Yes. It was. And that's the only time I've ever stood in line. Actually, that's not true because I also stood in line when they released the movies for the hunger games.
That's right. We stood in line for that too. Yep. We're at all of those. That's it.
That's really the only time that I've really otherwise, I'm like, no. I'll wait. I can wait. And there are people that get fanatic about that because, some of these businesses will offer, like, the first fifty people in the door get free years worth of the thing we make or whatever. And that's you know me.
I like free stuff. Yeah. And if you're gonna offer me free stuff, I'm always like, hey. Let's go check it out. Camp out in front of a store in a tent for days.
Days. Just so that there are people that do that. There are people that do that. I'm not wrong. Do that to be one of the 50 people that gets a free thing for a year.
I always say, oh, I want that free thing. I'm gonna go see what the line is like, and then I show up and I go, Can't be bothered. Well, no. It's not worth it, is it? I would rather have my time Right.
And then just come back later. Yeah. I'll just come back in a couple of weeks when things have died down. Are you asking because there's something you wanna try? Yeah.
Yeah. I know what it is. I wanna try it too. Has it been a couple weeks? I was just gonna ask you.
It hasn't I think it's been I think they opened on Friday. Yeah. Saturday, Sunday, Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday. Still be busy. Been six days.
Yeah. That's iffy. If we don't go during peak time True. What do you think peak time is? After dinner.
Let's go after dinner. No. That's peak time. Oh, peak time is after dinner. Go before dinner.
Right. Let's go at, like, 03:00. On a Friday. I can't. I have to work.
No. I See. I told you. I told you. Let's make a plan.
We can't because Emery will be in school, and she'll wanna come. Well, too bad. 04:00. Four o'clock on Friday. We're trying the new place.
Alright. We'll see how it goes. We can't say this. Not even talking about the same place. We are.
Wouldn't that be funny? No. Because there's only one new place that's really open that we've been both excited about trying. We can't say it out loud because what if the end of the day is like everybody's gonna show up at the time we're there, and they're gonna be like, yeah. We're here because we heard you were gonna be here, and we wanted to get in line before you just to make you crazy.
Like, hey. That wasn't very nice. Yeah. How dare you? Now I gotta leave and come back a different time.
Right. Because I don't wanna wait in line. Yeah. 04:00. Alright.
We'll see. We'll see what we'll see. We'll see. Plus other mono. What's a minor inconvenience that instantly makes you angry?
In this room? Oh, no. No. I'm asking. Oh.
Like, something in here? Or No. No. Like, throughout your your day. Like, I Red lights.
I just I people driving slow. Like, these are things that Yeah. That just the the like, it's just people doing their thing. They're living their life, going about their day on their timeline, but also I got places to be. So that always is is a little bit inferior infuriating, but it's not like, it's not that big a deal.
Like, it's just always I'm like, come on. Mine is, like, if I'm walking through a door or something and then my shirt or my purse or something gets stuck on the door handle, I go, oh, that makes me mad. I'm trying to think of things that happen more regularly. I'll I'll give you one. K.
Lately, at work, I have a series of pens that are my favorite pens. Somebody messing with your pens? No. It's not that, but I don't like that either. They have stopped working all all of them.
And I know there's ink in all of them, but if I'm writing and I'm in the middle of writing something and my pen doesn't work, oh, that makes me so mad. Yeah. I don't like that. I don't care for that at all. I'm trying to really think.
Like, you know, like, if I go to find something and it's not there, that really bums me out. Okay. Especially if I know I left it somewhere, and then I think somebody moved it. Or if it if it if it has a home, and I know I put it in its home, and I go to get it, and it's not in its home, and I go, who moved the tape measure, for example? And then somebody will go, oh, I put it on this shelf.
And I go, that's not where you got it. Put it back. That's minor, but also a little bit aggravating. Okay. Yeah.
Yeah. Yeah. That's all stuff. How about, if you buy something from the store and you try to peel the sticker off and it leaves a residue I don't care for that. Or if you're at the store and somebody puts a sticker where You wanna read Yeah.
What's under it? Yeah. Like an ingredient or something? Yeah. Yeah.
I don't like that. I don't like that. Or here's what else makes me angry. I do a swipe to text I can't understand that. I don't know how you do that.
And Emery's swiping are the same letters as the word they. And so anytime I swipe her name, it says they, and I go, no. No. No. It's Emery.
And it knows. I know it knows. It's just doing it to drive me nuts. You're right. It's like, you mean they?
Yeah. You know, you get it. Also, when you're in the drive through and they make you pull ahead to wait I don't care for that. I don't like that either. Because here's the thing.
All the only reason they're doing that is to keep their drive through times lower so that they can say and report to their district manager that they kept the drive times at a certain low. At a certain, you know, average. And I think that's it's false. It's not real. You want you want real data?
Then you leave people at the window and you get real data on how long your drive through times are. You want real data. Then get real data. If I was a district manager, I would say, do not do that. I want you to be fast at the window on purpose.
I wanna see your drive through times actually at the drive through window. I don't wanna know how long you handed somebody a drink and told them to pull forward because their chicken nuggets are gonna take a couple of minutes. You know? I know. Oh, that one pushed the button, didn't it?
Just saying. That's that and there are some drive thrus that are designed that way where they go, here's a number. Go ahead and drive around. We'll bring it out to you. And that's part of the design.
And I'm like, but I was having a lovely time looking at you through your window while you're doing your job. I'd like to stay here and do that. Yeah. Can I just stay here and wait? Mhmm.
Because I was here first. Right. So don't help the people behind me because I was here first. Right. Take care of my order and then Help me first.
Yeah. And then you can help the people behind. You're doing is queuing people up deeper. Yep. The you know, your average is wrong.
Your math's wrong. We've got the fastest drive through times. Yeah. I bet you is hoping that today, on this Thursday, that none of these minor inconveniences happen to you. Let's get through a easy breezy kinda day.
Would you rather this or that? Would you rather have a trained army of thousands of bullfrogs or Do they have backpacks? No. They're just frogs? Just bullfrogs.
Alright. But they're trained. You control them. Attack, and they will. How?
With their guns. Don't have a Tanya attack? Yeah. What are they gonna do with their backpacks? I'll tell you later.
Okay. Weird. Bullfrogs with backpacks. Or GI Joe action figures. Those are inanimate.
Yeah. I know. But they're trained. You've got them trained. So they're not inanimate?
They're not in they're movable. Three and a half inch or 12 inch? Three and a half. Mhmm. 12 inch.
They made 12 inch Yeah. GI Joes? Yeah. What? They were 12 inch before they were three and a half inch.
How many GI Joes did you have? Not enough. Never enough. Cool, bro. Oh, my brother had this one with the polar bear.
Yeah. That was cool. Anyway, go ahead. Which one? Bullfrogs or GI Joes?
If the GI Joes are not in inanimate, I want the GI Joe army of three and a half inch soldiers with some of the coolest vehicles you could ever imagine. No. They don't come with vehicles. Mind your business. I am.
This is no vehicles. Just No. People. There's vehicles. I've seen GI Joe.
I've played with GI Joes. There's vehicles. Oh, give me that. You don't know. I do.
You don't know. No. If there's not backpacks on the bullfrogs, there's no vehicles for the GI Joe's. Yes. There are.
Okay. Do I get to know? Still move to scale. They're not gonna be as fast as they're they're still No. I get it.
Very small. Are you gonna tell me what the backpacks are for yet? Later. What? Okay.
What do you think a bullfrog would need a backpack for? I don't know. Carrying goods and supplies. That's why. What kind of goods and supplies is he carrying?
They're frogs. Whatever they need. What do you? Come on. Stuff from home.
Dear toad letters and stuff like that. You know? Frog and toad books? Yeah. Little tiny ones that they read while they're in the trenches of bullfrog warfare.
What are you talking about? Why do they need backpacks? Of course, they need backpacks. Come on. Would you rather this or that?
I'm picking GI Joe's. What are you picking? GI Joes. Yeah. Of course.
No vehicles for you, though. You got any of them collectibles? No. Well, we were just talking about GI Joes, and, toys from the eighties and nineties are selling as collectibles really well right now for some big bucks. So I don't know if we have any of the stuff laying around, but I thought it'd be fun to look at.
Like, do we have I don't. But do you, somewhere in your treasures, have an old school Sony Walkman? No. They're selling, like, hotcakes worldwide. People want the Walkman.
Yeah. No. I don't. Vintage MTV memorabilia. Not new stuff with MTV logo.
We're talking about authentic vintage MTV stuff. No. I don't. He man and masters of the universe action figures. He man?
Yeah. That guy. No. I don't. Polaroid cameras, original Polaroid cameras.
Oh, I bet my parents still have their old one. Old school Casio keyboards. No. We had a little one, when I was when I was a kid. The I don't know where we got or why, but it was a ton of fun.
It was really cool. Vintage band T shirts. Mm-mm. Original Air Jordan one sneakers. The ones with the pump up?
But that doesn't say anything about the pumps. Remember the pumps? Yeah. In the tongue? And you could pump it up to make them tighter?
I had a pair of pumps. And loosen out the air so you could breathe. Basketball on the tongue. Man, those were cool. Yeah.
Original Rubik's cubes, vintage Swatch watches. Nope. Yeah. None of this? I have no I don't have any of this.
The original Nintendo Entertainment System, old school Apple Macintosh computers, and any first edition transformers toys. Oh. Big bucks online. If you have any of that stuff laying around in a toy box, in an attic, or whatever I don't. There's a there's a good chance Cabbage Patch dolls made the list.
They're going for big bucks original ones. Those? You have an original Cabbage Patch doll somewhere? Yeah. They're at my mom's house.
I also have sure about that? I also have, fake Cabbage Patch dolls that my grandma Right. We've talked to them once. Those. Dude, I'm looking at the Swatch watch.
It's sweet. I I wish I had a Swatch watch. They're cool. I never could afford one. They were too cool for me.
Too fancy. Comic books are doing well. Vintage comic books from the eighties. I did have a Pepe Le Pew watch Uh-huh. That would play music.
That was really cool. Okay. Very cool. Yeah. The Swatch watch, that's absolutely up your alley.
Oh, it's very cool. I would wear that every day. I wish what I would like companies to do, and they they could make a killing. I have a smartwatch, and I've got the Google Watch, because I'm a Google guy. Yeah.
I'm not an iPhone guy. And and they do this for Apple Watch too. They make different bands and different, you know, bezel covers. Like, I've changed mine out. Right.
But I want one that looks like that. Like, that looks like a retro eighties, nineties swatch that I could because I could change the face. I could make the face look anything I want. So I could make all the digital part look all retro, but I need the band and the rest of it to make it look like that. I would wear that all day.
You would. It's so cool. Anyway, I don't have any of those companies. There, so I guess we're not making any money today. Okay.
