So I just came up with this silly idea where you and I create dating profiles. We're not gonna post them anymore. We're not gonna join a dating app, but we're gonna create the profile, select the pictures, sell ourselves to one another. Yeah. Yeah.
We gotta have an opening line. You gotta have a good hook. Yeah. You gotta have a good introductory bio, little elevate elevator speech about yourself, and five photos. And we're gonna present those to each other to see if we would even date the other.
Oh, I hope you swipe right. Oh, is that the right way? Is is right good? I think so. Swiping left, bad?
Swiping right, good? I think so. At least that's how one app works. Do all apps work that way? I don't either.
Good answer. I don't know. Good answer. Pretend like you don't know. Hey.
It's Friday, April 11. It's cheese fondue day. Let's cheese all the things. And tomorrow is grilled cheese day. What about a bacon grilled cheese?
Oh, that sounds lovely. Mhmm. Meat. Bacon is good. Bacon is good.
When do you panic about a dying cell phone? Single digit percent percentages. Yeah. Samesies. Yeah.
I'm I'm real lazy about it. If I see twenty, I'm like, I still have time. Twenty is when I start to go, oh, I should probably start looking for something. Smoisters sounds absolutely delicious. What's wrong with you?
It sounds awful. It does sound awful. Collectible old man trading cards are sweeping Japan. The kids all want them. Like I kinda want some too.
You want the old man cards? Men? Yes. Old Japanese men, middle aged Japanese men trading cards? Yes.
Okay. Gen z is turning the Minecraft movie into the new Rocky Horror. I saw a video just this morning, another one. And it said, it it hit the chicken jockey thing, and the entire crowd was throwing soda and popcorn. It was terrible.
Terrible. Smells. The lights in the theater went on. They turned off the movie. Everybody got kicked out.
Again I mean, that's fair. Gotta not do that. I was a big fan of the a team. Such a big fan that you thought it was Mike Tyson. No.
Also, what's the song you're singing? I was trying to think of the a team thing. Oh, let's hear it. I know I got it wrong. No.
I wanna hear it. Now I hear you. That's all you get. No. Just because I know it, so I just wanna hear you do it.
Listen. I know that I confused Mike Tyson and mister t. It was, it was early in the morning. I know the difference between the two. So which one played BA Baracus?
Mister t. Okay. Good. And what's the theme song? No.
I mean, Josh doesn't think cruises sound like very much fun. It's a shopping mall on the ocean with a thousand other people. It's more than a thousand. It's gross. I don't want to be on it.
Not think I do either. Smart TV karaoke is totally a thing I wanna have. You you're thinking this is a thing for Easter? Yes. And we have to do a duet?
Don't tell him which one. Okay. That's a surprise. I think I can trick Josh into an hour long distraction. That's rude.
And no, you can't. We'll see. We'll see back then. We'll see. We've got a bunch of potato chips to eat.
Yeah. Yeah. Four four different kinds? Three different kinds? Three.
Three. Yeah. What treasures are waiting in grandma's kitchen? Nineteen seventies mayo. Yeah.
And we only have nine dandelions. And nine dandelions does not a loaf of dandelion bread make. It's okay. They're gonna sprout. We're gonna get more.
Don't you worry. We are Josh and Chantel. This is Wake Up Classy 97, the podcast episode two ten. Yeah. Do do do do do do do do.

Oh, sorry. Tomorrow There you go. Is national grilled cheese day. Yeah. I got cheese fondue.

You haven't had it yet? I haven't had, like, real poutine. No. It sounds fancy when you order it. Can I have the poutine?
When I worked at Burger King in high school, we're in Idaho, and so we are kind of a pass through for, folks from Canada if they travel down I 15 to head to Vegas or wherever. And, I would, probably three to five times a summer, I would have, some Canadian patrons stop in and ask for poutine because on the menu in, in Canada, their Burger King, but we don't we didn't have it. Oh. I went, I can't help you. They're like, you don't you can't even whip up a whip up a batch of gravy?
No. I don't. You don't have any sauce packets in the back? I don't know anything about it. I this is the first time I'd ever heard of it.
And I went, what? What are you what are you asking for? Saying? I'm like, I don't even know what that is. Guess what else?
What else? Today. Tax day is coming up, Josh. Ugh. No.
Why'd you bring that up? That's why it just occurred to me that it's, like, right around the corner. Ugh. And we still haven't done ours. Gross.
I know. It's because I because it's gross. It is gross. I agree with you. But the government insists.
Oh, do they? I got some insisting of my own. Hey. You didn't even know this, and you didn't even participate. What?

It wasn't. It was so much better. We'll run it back. We'll find out. Lots going on today.
Good morning. Good morning. When you see that your phone has got a low battery Uh-huh. What percentage of battery do you start to panic? Single digits.
Okay. Me too. And by panic, what do you mean? Because I don't go like Right. I just go, oh, man.
Like, it beeps at me at 20% or something, and then I watch it go quickly to 12, and then I go, should probably charge that. Well, I know I'm not panic. I don't mean panic. But when you're like, fuck. I gotta find a charger.
Yeah. When I get down to the single digits, I'm like, it's time for me to put this thing down and charge it. It needs to go in the charger. So that's probably when Single digits. So 9%?
Yeah. When I get down to there, I kinda go, it's probably time. Yeah. It's real low. Well, years beeps at you at 20.
Yeah. I think so. I think that's when it's like, battery alert, 20%. Start to I'll do a little bit of a panic at 20% going, oh, no. Especially if it's if I'm somewhere without a charging Uh-huh.
Situation. You know what I'm saying? Yeah. I get you. Oh, okay.
Yeah. That's all that's all that's all that is. Oh. Question I had. Is there a reason you ask?
No. I was just asking. My we always do, like, a test at our house, and Emery is like, quick. What charges your phone number? Battery check.
I'm always the lowest one. You at right now? Well, I just woke up. That doesn't mean anything. That's true.
I am at 100%. Me too. How about that? There you go. It won't stay like that for long, but I am I am there now.
I got emails to go through. I got a whole bunch of notifications. You did? Yeah. Let's let's check real quick.
Open tabs K. On, on your Internet. K. How many you got? I have six.
I have 13. That's way low for you. Are you lying? No. I swear.
And I just got rid of one, so now I have 12. I feel like you might have had 31. No. And you were like, I don't wanna say 31. No.
No. No. No. I'll show you. I'm not lying.
I got just got rid of another one. 11. You go. Now it'll be 10. And now no.
I need to keep that one. And now nine. Look at me. Done. I'm really impressed.
You normally have way more than that. I know I do. I'm trying to do better. How many are open on your work computer? Ones that I have pinned?
Do those count? Nonpinned. Nonpinned? One, two, three, four, five, six, seven. Yeah.
Yeah. Nonpinned, I have two. Who cares? What does that even mean? It doesn't mean anything.
No. It doesn't mean anything. I just it just means I have fewer than you. I have to get one more because I have to check the Eagles this morning. Alright.
Let's check-in on those Eagles. Good morning. Let's get you some good news. Let's hear it. This story was shared with us yesterday.
And maybe you know what? I think I'm gonna save this story. I'm gonna talk about this story later. I'm gonna tell you a different story. Oh, okay.
Because I I wanna dive into that a little bit more, but it's a really cool good news story, but we'll talk about it later. I'm gonna tell you about, what's going on in London, England where a three year old boy, was overjoyed to be reunited with his beloved toy elephant. Oh, Knuffle Bunny. The the name of the elephant? Knuffle Bunny.
No. What? Elephant. Oh. That's he's just real simple.
He's three. Where's Elephant? Thanks to the power of social media and some caring local, business folks. The boy's mom, her name is Catherine Wilson. She launched an online search on social media after elephant went missing, leaving her son heartbroken.
And just a day later, she got a tip from a kind stranger that led her to m Mohan and Sons, which is a meat market where the toy had been placed in the shop window. The owner of the market, Gary Mohan, had found Elephant on the sidewalk and brought the toy to safety inside. Oh, smart. It was a relief for both Katherine and her son when they were reunited with Elephant, and everyone involved was thrilled with the kindness of the community and the power of social media was able to put a smile on the face of this three year old boy who has now been reunited with Elephant. Oh, that was so scary.
It was a big adventure. I like that I like that he got put in the display window. I do too. Like, do you know who I am? Do I belong to?
Yeah. I've lost my kid. I think that's great. It's a great little story. It is cute.
So Elephant is back home with his three year old, best friend, and all is well. Did you even get my reference of Knuffle Bunny? No. No. You wouldn't, would you?
That was a book written by Moe Williams. Moe Williams is the author of Piggy and Piggy and Gerald. Uh-huh. He also wrote Nuffel Bunny, which is about a little girl who loses her stuffed bunny Got it. Named Nuffel Bunny.
Well, this is elephant. A very similar story. Someone should write a book about Elephant. It'd be the same story, but he gets found at a meat market sitting in the display window. All sad.
Good story, Joshie. Yeah. That's good news to get you going. Do you wanna try a smoister? At first thought, no.
Guess what it is? Sounds like, oysters with marshmallows and chocolate. You're correct. Cracker, and that's gross. It's an oyster on a half shell topped with Hershey's chocolate.
Listen. Hold on. You can't just say half shell and not expect me to immediately thank Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles. Not I mean, immediately. Oyster on a half shell.
Heroes in a half shell. Oyster power. Turtle power. Yeah. Immediately, you say half shell, and I go, We were not talking about turtles.
We talked about oysters. You can't say half shell. But it's an oyster on a half shell. Oyster power. Go on.
Topped with Hershey's chocolate, crumbled graham crackers Gross. And a tiny marshmallow. They torch the marshmallow to brown the top. Of course. This was created by a man who owns a restaurant and said, I just wanted to try something different.
Good for you. Keep it to yourself. His first idea was during girl scout cookie season. He wanted to try a thin mint oyster. He says it was okay, but he wanted to try something better.
There is a video of a woman eating it. Is she looking to good time? No. It looks like she's just pretending to like it. Yeah.
Like that kid who's eating the gross food and is like, mhmm. Mhmm. And then dry heaves. Yeah. I've seen that kid.
Delicious. Yeah. This is so good. It's really good. Yeah.
Good for that guy. Try it? No. How come? I won't eat oysters by themselves.
Why am I gonna put that on a s'more? I know. I've never had an oyster. I do kinda wanna try one. But You will not make it through the texture.
I probably won't. You're right. Because it's, like, slimy, isn't it? Yeah. It's satisfying.
Pizza Hut also just came out with a caviar pizza caviar. Why? People are out of ideas. Just make normal food. I know.
That's what I'm like. We don't need anything new. Sausage and pepperoni, baby. Just keep it easy. Easy breezy.
What are we we need we need something strange. People aren't eating enough. Maybe just make what you normally make better. Quit making weird stuff. Yeah.
Oh. Oh. You threw some fists. You threw down Well as they say. Is that what they say?
Have you you've never had an oyster either? No. You haven't since I've known you? No. I see them on the plate looking all lit.
Your grandma likes to eat oysters. Does she? I think so. Or clams. Clams.
Yeah. She likes clams. Just smelling that pasta with the shells in it. It's like they just took a beach and put it on noodles. Here you go.
Ugh. Sprinkle it with some salt water. Here. Yuck. Have this.
People love it. Smoisters. I'm not one of them. And smoisters is not gonna be it. Did you have any more Smoisters?
I haven't had any Stop. Once. How can I have Smoisters Stop? Again? Stop.
Stop. I think this story is so cool. In Japan, in the town of Kawara, Japan, they've come up with a clever way of teaching young kids about respecting their elders. Okay. By, creating trading cards that feature grandpas and middle aged men in the town.
And the kids are going nuts. They're collecting these. They're more popular than Pokemon cards in this town. No way. Yeah way.
Who made who made them? The town did. The town said, we want people to know who the people in the town are that are making a difference and that people should look up to and that are respectable people. And so they created trading cards featuring grandpas and middle aged men, and they are trading them like crazy. I love that.
The trading cards, feature pictures of real life members of the community. They have, like, retired firefighters. They have noodle chefs. They they include their special abilities and their skills listed on the backs of the cards. The cards have been, quite successful in strengthening the bond between generations and have been encouraging kids to volunteer at local events for the opportunity to meet their favorite heroes in person.
I think it is so cool. That is very cool. Except that what if you were the person who like, obviously, there's gonna be, like, a, like, a hot commodity card. There's gonna be somebody that's like, oh, I gotta get this the noodle guy. I gotta get the noodle guy.
But what if nobody wanted, like, a different card? That would be really sad for that gentleman. I don't know. Was like, I got, like, three of him already. Yeah.
I don't I don't want anymore. Every time I get a pack, I get that guy, and it's the same face. Oh. It's super fun, and they actually like, they're playable as, like, a Pokemon game. So because the, the characters, these folks that they put on the cards have abilities and hit points and all that stuff, like, you can play the game with these characters.
I think it's so great. Play the game. I feel like Yeah. I don't know much about Pokemon, but what I know is that you you can fight. Correct.
Yes. So how could you fight these people? They battle. You take them to the gym and train them and battle them and yeah. Big deal.
That's awesome. I think it's a really fun idea. I think it's, it's pretty cool. Middle aged man trading cards. Can you imagine walking down the street and seeing a group of boys playing Yeah.
With your card on the street? Going like, that's him. Yeah. That's awesome. Super, super cool.
So there you go. That's happening in Kawara, Japan. I bet it happens other places. It sounds like this is something they could catch on. It's catching.
It it certainly could. Gotta catch them all? Is that your joke? Is that what you were working on? No.
Kind of? No. Yeah. A little bit. Pokemon.
Middle aged man. Middle aged man. Middle aged man. Middle aged man. I saw something yesterday, from a local movie theater who said that they are having a lot of fun with the Minecraft movie.
Yes. But they're, they're letting everybody know that while they appreciate all the support, they are also having a lot of concerns and problems with groups misbehaving during the movie. Parents, they're asking parents, please help by talking to your teenagers about good movie etiquette. They stopped a group of teenagers that were trying to bring water guns into the theater. You heard a story about somebody that was attempting to bring in a live chicken?
That is correct. Not locally. Bring in a no. That wasn't locally, but did bring in a live chicken. And then, the police had to come, and they stopped the screening.
They didn't even finish showing the film. So people really were upset. So and it's all because well, I mean, there are several different lines in the movie that trigger response from the crowd that is very much engaged in this movie, and I've gone to see it multiple times, minimums of two to I don't know. There's probably people who've seen it 10 times. Easy.
That's so crazy. Absolutely. The chicken jockey scene is the one that's getting the most reaction, I suppose. Bereif. That is such a bereif.
Incredibly. Yeah. But it is it is because Jack Black, as Steve, says chicken jockey, and the whole place just goes crazy. And that's why the bringing of a chicken and all of that other stuff. But, they are there are several different articles, including one in Rolling Stone that are talking about this movie being, for TikTok kids and Gen Z, their Rocky Horror Picture Show, which if you've ever been to the Rocky Horror Picture Show, that is an interactive audience experience, and it has sort of developed over the years, ever since that movie came out where people participate in that movie.
By throwing rice Yeah. There's all kinds of things. Yeah. Toilet paper, by shouting. We experienced that ourselves.
That's right. Yeah. And I was very much like, I feel unequipped. There's toast involved. Mhmm.
There's there's a lot of different things. When we went, we went to a showing of that at the Colonial Theater A Couple Of Years ago, and they were doing bag checks. Correct. You couldn't bring anything wet into the theater. So sometimes people will throw water and different things.
Yeah. So there it you know? And theaters wanna make sure they continue to be nice. So Well and somebody has to clean all that up. Mhmm.
Isn't that crazy that the Minecraft movie is becoming this new generation's rocky horror? Rocky horror was before our time too, though. That was that was a generation before us. That was about ten years before you and I were born. Yeah.
So That's correct. It came out in '75. Yeah. So Yeah. We did we didn't participate in that.
But our generation didn't necessarily have a cult classic movie like that. You're correct. Where we went to the theater and shouted lines and and threw stuff. You are correct. That it's been a couple of generations of people because between Gen x I mean, Gen x would have Rocky Horror, I suppose.
And then you would have millennials, and then you would have Mhmm. You know, all of the the generations since. So, anyway, this is it's interesting. It is interesting. A Minecraft movie, still tearing it up at the box office.
And now, yeah, I think it is important that we say, hey. Listen. Let's follow the rules of the theater. I think it's appropriate that you can dress up as your favorite character. Sure.
Sure. Sure. But you gotta be mindful that other people are there too, and they don't wanna be they don't wanna hear your screaming, and they don't wanna be hit by may be their first experience with the movie. You might be, you know, you might be on your tenth viewing, but they might be on their first. You just never know.
It's a lot of fun, though. It is a fun, fun movie. So if you haven't seen it, take your kids. Go see it. It's a good time.
It's an entertaining movie even if you have no idea what Minecraft is. Right. But follow the rules of the theater. That's what I'm saying. Don't destroy property.
Good theater etiquette, everybody. When you were a kid, what kind of birthday parties did you have? Did you have themed birthday parties? Based on some pictures I've seen, when I was little, there was maybe not necessarily a theme other than one birthday party. Everything was kind of like, like, the cake was made to something I was into.
So, like, I had an ET cake. Yeah. Or I had, you know, a Hot Wheels cake or whatever. Cake? That's cute.
Yeah. Yeah. That's adorable. You didn't have a Teenage Mutant Ninja turtle birthday party? I can't imagine I didn't.
Like, there's there's no way that didn't happen. The only one that I can remember was I was I really loved the a team when I was little. Mhmm. And I I really liked Mike Tyson. B a Mike Tyson.
Mike Tyson, not Mike Tyson. You know? Mister t. B a Baracus? Yes.
What were you gonna say? BA Baracus. Oh, yeah. Don't you before that. So one year, I had an A themed themed birthday party.
I remember that. There is I saw a lady who posted that her son asked for a mayonnaise themed birthday party. You don't say? Yeah. A mayonnaise, mayonnaise, mayo, not miracle whip Nope.
Birthday party. Mayonnaise. Mayonnaise. Wait. Mayonnaise.
There's gotta be another way. Previous birthday themes from him have been Hold on. So mayonnaise. Mayonnaise. Mayonnaise was this year.
Yes. What was what was last year? I don't know. Previous years have been oranges, the fruit, not the color, but one and the same. Queen, the band, not Uh-huh.
The person, not Queen Elizabeth, and pickles. She said, I think his goal has been just to watch me fail in life, trying to come up with ideas for these birthday parties. This one's tough. I'm Mayo is a tough birthday. What do you do?
Well, obviously, you have different kinds of mayo. Potato salad, macaroni salad. Yeah. What else? You could do all kinds of games.
There's I bet there's a ton of games you could play with mayonnaise. I'm trying to figure out. Like, this is not something you can just go to Pinterest and pull up No. Decoration ideas. Like, you actually have to think.
To think about it. You have to get creative. My kids I was trying to remember some of the the themes that our kids had. I remember doing a pirate theme for Beck when he was little. Oh, I remember that cake.
That was a sick cake, wasn't it? That was, there was multiple tiers. We it was like a a real intense pirate ship homemade I know. Cake. I know.
Pretty cool. It was cool. Thank you. That was when I had ambition. Those were my those were my good mom years, I like to say.
Good mom years. Okay. Uh-huh. Let's see. We did I did Harry Potter for Emery once, but, again, that was easy because I just looked up ideas on Pinterest.
There's still other people's ideas. Yeah. Panda. Emery liked pandas. We did a panda birthday party.
Cars. Just racing cars. I don't know what you would do for a mayonnaise themed birthday party. Other than a bunch of different mayo. What, what about you?
Did you have themed birthdays? I don't do. The a team. That's it? That's the only one I remember.
I loved Barbies, so I'm sure there was a Barbie something in there, but I really don't have any pictures of any of that. Did you always have a homemade cake, or did you have a store bought cake? It was pretty much homemade. I agree. I always I always like that, ice cream cake.
Oh, yeah. That was like a rare occasion. You'd go to a birthday party, and they'd pull that thing out, and you were like, oh. Yes. That's that's rich folks.
That was that was one of those things. Same kids that had in ground trampolines had ice cream cakes. With the fudge layer? You know. And the crumbly cookie crust.
Ice cream cake. Oh, dude. You know, as an adult with adult money, we could just go buy one. Anytime. We could just go we could have them write anything on it we want.
We might just need to do that. I I feel like we could just as a, like, boost yourself up kind of attitude. You could just have him write, like, you did awesome today, Chantel. And I'm like, when I go to pick it up, I'll be like, thank you. I did.
Yeah. Let me enjoy this ice cream cake. One piece at a time. Do you cut it up, or do you just go in with a fork? Just dive in.
That's it's they're pretty big. Straight from the middle. In the middle? Yeah. It's my cake.
I'll do what I want. Alright. Settle down. Settle down. And I did awesome today.
I heard. The cake told me. The cake told me. Do you have something or do you know, something popular that you just have no interest in that like, a lot of people have interest in it, but you just don't. I'll give you one.
Okay. I'll start. Alright. Yellowstone. The the The show.
The show. Yeah. Wow. There's so many people that are interested in that. And I There's, like, seven different versions and timelines and stuff at this point.
And here's the thing. Sometimes, like, if I haven't had an interest in the beginning and then everyone's like, you gotta watch it. You gotta watch it. That will push me further away from wanting to watch it. And I'll be like, no.
No. Thank you. No. No. Do you have one now?
Well, I was just thinking, like, historically, there have been things that I've been like, yeah. I could probably see myself getting sucked into that, but I don't want to. And I think that's not necessarily the question you asked. But No. Like, like, auction, auctioning storage units, for example.
Something that sounds interesting would be would be interesting to be involved in. You know, I'm gonna go bid on a storage unit, and I get whatever is inside for whatever I paid for it. Yeah. But it's all just But then I get all that junk. That's why I'm gonna talk myself out if I go, yeah.
That sounds like somebody else's stuff they abandoned. And there's But then, you know, you watch the shows and you see these people finding all these cool collectibles. Of course, they're gonna show that stuff, but that's, like, one in 50. You think it's that low? I think it's one in 50?
No. I don't. I think it's If it's one in 50, we gotta get in on it. I think it's mostly just clothes and the old furniture. Mhmm.
That's what I think it is. Yeah. Did you could flip for profit? No. No.
You can't. See? I think there's I think that's what happens. I think I get stuck in, like, this could be this could be pretty big. And then I go, no.
What am I thinking? No. We're not doing that. We're not getting into storage yet. So there's some stuff that people get into that I go, I could get into it, but then I talk myself out.
Good. Smart. I don't necessarily think that that's a popular thing, though. Is storage units a popular thing? Not I mean, it's still happening.
There are people involved. Okay. That's fair. Auctions in general, maybe. Like, auctioning, buying things at auction, competing to bid.
You're not into it? I got I got into it a while, for a while, like eBay and stuff. You get into it, and you're like, man, I really want this item. And then you're in a bidding battle down to the last few seconds. Ugh.
And then you lose it, and I go, oh, I didn't get that thing. No. That has never had any appeal to me. Yeah. I'll just go buy the thing I want.
I there's nothing collectible that I want that I'm gonna have to bid on like that. I don't know. That doesn't appeal to me at all. I got another one for you. Okay.
Oh, where did it go? I just had it. Like, any kind of reality TV show. Bachelor, Bachelorette. I agree.
I don't like those. Even even some of the, more, like, mainstream ones like Survivor. I did like American Race. I thought that one was fun. Amazing Race.
Amazing Race. Amazing Race. I thought that one was a cool concept. I like the the solving puzzles and moving and traveling. And I think that that creates a different element to that.
You have to you have to meet a certain cutoff or else you're eliminated. Well, it's it's feels a little less scripted. Yeah. Because they're doing like, they're out in the world doing stuff, and it's not just sitting in a in a room with other people trying to create drama. You know what I mean?
Also, here's another one. I got another one for you. Uh-huh. This one we've talked about before. In N Out.
In N Out burger. I like it. It's popular. Yeah? I don't care for it, and you'll never convince me otherwise.
Everyone goes, oh, you gotta try the the animal style. Okay. No. No. I don't.
What about, what about YouTube family channels? Oh, is that popular? A lot of people like to follow these. Like, I follow this family on YouTube, and then they'll, you know, they'll our daughter did for a long time. For a really long time until they all left.
Well, they all got old and left and went to school and, yeah, went to went, yeah, after high school. I can't remember the name of that family that she would watch. She would watch them regularly. Right. Somebody said superhero movies.
They're popular, but they burned me out. I saw too many of them, and now I can't watch them ever again. That's that makes sense. Yeah. NFTs made the list.
I don't know what an NFT is. Non fungible tokens. Non Let's not. Okay. It's fine.
Okay. Somebody said football. That used to be me. Or golf or the Kardashians. Ew.
Ew. Somebody also said going on a cruise. Oh. Very popular, but not a lot of people or some people are like, I don't wanna do it. You're kinda one of those people.
You don't really wanna go on a cruise. You call it a floating toilet. Well, that's kinda what they are. But, also, it's a it's a shopping mall. It's a shopping mall on the ocean.
It's strange. Somebody said, I think cruises are good if you want a pure do nothing vacation. K. Get a balcony room, sit on it, watch the ocean go by, maybe lounge in the room or on the deck. Maybe go to a casino if you want.
Twenty four seven food that's pretty decent. Take in some theater or musical. This guy said that for me, the best days on the cruise were the sailing days, not when we were at port. It's a do nothing vacation. Okay.
Like, alright. You could be that too. It's people watching, really. Yeah. But there's so many people.
Yeah. And you're stuck. On a boat with all of them. In the middle of the ocean. Yeah.
I don't I'm not into that. And maybe I'm just missing something. It just doesn't sound awesome. No. You were not selling it.
Coming to a smart TV near you, Chantel, something you might get a little bit excited about. What? Samsung is talking, about putting together home karaoke. Yes. Yeah.
I know. You're you want everybody to be in a band. Yes. And so this Mostly me. Oh, okay.
I it's mostly me that wants to be in a band. So some of their new twenty twenty five smart TVs are using something they call the mobile microphone feature where users can sing directly into their phones, which then mixes with, their voices with premium sound through the TV speakers. And the system is designed to work with the Stingray karaoke service, which provides access to over a hundred thousand licensed songs. I know. I'm all about this.
So you sing into your phone. It's got the lyrics on there. On your phone. Mixes from your phone, mixes with your speakers in your TV, and plays it back so you can hear it. So you don't get the words on your TV.
You get them on your phone? It seems like it would make more sense to put the words on the TV. Yeah. No. I get you.
Stingray karaoke app turns smartphones into microphones, and that is what it does. It works through this. That's what it does. That's what it does. It's how it works.
I don't know what to tell you. Stingray karaoke is the app, though. You can get that app now. K. And then you can, maybe even hook that through the TV.
I'm looking. Yeah. That does work through the TV. Bro. Yeah.
You can even sing karaoke online. With some friends? Oh, boy. Oh, boy. If you need to sing a duet with your friend who lives far away Right.
You can do that. Is that what I'm hearing? I haven't done that much research. But if you wanna check it out I do wanna check it out. Stingray karaoke is where you can, Stingray.com.
You can go learn about it. Okay. Here's my other question. If I download this app on my phone Mhmm. Will I be able to use it anywhere I go as long as there's a smart TV around?
I don't know. For example, if I get the app and I test it out at my home and it works at my home, but then I wanna take it to Easter dinner Mhmm. And have my sister Uh-huh. Do some karaoke. Sing some prints.
Because you know she will. Yeah. Is that doable? I don't know. You have to look into it.
I will look into this. Everything I know about it. You haven't given me all the information. I know that you, they have, over a hundred thousand songs. They add new ones every week.
They have kid friendly tunes, including Disney classics. K. They have party mixes curated by experts. Okay. They have global and local hits available worldwide in 38 different languages and growing.
Okay. They have a lead vocal on off feature. I don't know what that means. Always not. Search by artist song or lyrics, and you can browse by decade or genre.
It says that you can throw a karaoke party wherever you go, whether that's on TV, mobile, in your car, or on the Internet. Oh, okay. Okay. I think I'm gonna look into this. I'm gonna get this.
You will. This is what's gonna be happening on Easter. Oh. If the weather is cold. Busy.
Because if it's nice on Easter, absolutely, we're spending time outside. But you're busy? I think You can't sing one song? Who? You.
When? Buddy duddy. What? You can have all the karaoke you want. Why do I have to be involved?
Because we gotta sing a duet. What? Islands in the street. Who? You and me.
When? Kenny Rogers, Dolly Parton, mano a mano. Why Islands in the Stream? It was the only one I could think of at the moment. You and me gotta sing a duet.
Islands in the Stream. Okay. I'm busy. Yeah. Busy singing with me.
Oh. Yes. You and me have a date with karaoke. Karaoke date. I regret telling you about this.
I do. I do. When you have little kids, when you're a parent of little kids, you're often looking for just five minutes of peace. Like, just leave me alone for two minutes. You can't even escape to the bathroom sometimes because they'll stick their little hands.
Little hands. Going, hey, mom. What are you doing in there? Yeah. So I saw this thing online that said, I I just wanted five minutes to myself.
So I sent my kid in the other room to look for a toy. That toy is in my pocket. Way to go. Way to go. Right?
Then somebody had commented and said, hey. I did this with my spouse. The other day, he was irritating me, so I poured water in front of the washing machine. He's looked for the leak for an hour. Brilliant.
I am disgusted. I have never done this, but I should Dot dot dot yet. Brilliant. Is it? It is.
It is brilliant. It is. Brilliant. Seems seems rude. No.
It doesn't. It seems rude for somebody who's like, I want you around, but just don't talk to me. On my terms. Yeah. Yeah.
Yeah. Around on my terms. Mhmm. You see? It's it's double double layers of rude.
You got, like, double on your rudeness. I didn't do this. I don't know why you're calling me the rude one. I didn't pour water in front of the washer. Said it's a genius idea.
It is. I think it's rude. It's smart. No. Smart idea.
Although, I would probably pour water in front of the washer, and then you'd be like, I don't know what it is. And you'd occupy yourself with something else. That's not how I work. I know. I know.
You would be occupied. You would probably tear the entire washer apart. You'd be there for more than an hour trying to figure it out. I think I would have some troubleshooting, beforehand to determine if it came from the washer or not. Okay.
I believe you. Because I know how the washer works. And since I've been inside of our last washer, I think I probably have a better idea of where hose connections are. And if there's just a puddle on the floor in front of the washer, I'm gonna go, why'd you spill water? Okay.
Alright. I see your tricks. But I gotta up my game. Good luck figuring it out. Yeah.
I gotta up my game. Yeah. You weren't there inside the washer while I was doing all that. Mm-mm. So you don't know where all the hose connections are that I would be going, mhmm.
Okay. Alright. Nothing's leaking. What are you doing? Also, this water splice, splice, splash.
Nope. No soap. This just smells like floor. Okay. I'm gonna up my game.
So I will be a detective on anything you ask me to look for or to repair from now on. Rats. Foiled your plan. Busted. Hey.
Hey. What's up, Joshua? You know, remember when we had those biscuits and gravy, chips? Yeah. And they were pretty tasty?

I I really have enjoyed all the weird flavors. I love the sausage the sausage and gravy ones. The what was it? Biscuits and gravy? Sausage gravy biscuits.
Delicious. It was such a good chip, and it's gone. Good. You can't I I don't think you can get it. It was so good.
Well, they had a Cuban sandwich one too, and you liked that one. Did like that one because it was mustard and pickles. It was really good. It was very good. You can still get southern biscuits and gravy chips.
Where? No. Out of stock. Out of stock. Out of stock.
Out of stock. They just have the picture of the bag. Oh, out of print. They were so good. Yeah.
They were good. I think that's And you're right. And then they did do the they did the Reuben. They've done a gyro one, and they did truffle fries. I gotta tell you, I'm not a big fan of truffles.
I I like them. Do you? I like it. Yeah. Truffle butter?
Yeah. It's not my thing. It's good. I know. You you do dig it.
I don't. And then previously, they have done a spicy hot pot, a, cheese and onion, chicken and waffles. Chicken and waffles. Yeah. A I saw that one.
Pecanha steak. Yeah. I don't know if I wanna eat a chip and have it taste like meat. It sounds gross, doesn't it? You just picked Korean fried chicken.
I know. That's your favorite flavor of the ones. I'm a walking contradiction. I get it. I know.
Man, I wish I could get my hands on those biscuits and gravy potato chips. They were so good. Reach out to Lay's. They don't make them anymore. They're out of stock everywhere.
Sure they've got somebody's got a bag somewhere. Two years ago. Here's a two year old bag of tater chips. Tater chips. If it's a if it's still sealed, it's gonna be fine.

Those chips go stale. Bet. Bacon grilled cheese, Valentina, and lime wavy Korean style fried chicken. We're gonna try some Okay. This weekend.
I'm excited. I hope we can get them. I hope we can find them somewhere. I'm gonna keep my eyes open. I know where to look.
I know where we found some before. File? No. There's a very fun trend happening on, on the social medias right now. People are taking videos in their grandma's house, going through grandma's junk drawer Oh.
And seeing what they find. So they're going into the kitchen and pulling open that drawer that has been collecting stuff for years. We gotta do this. Do you know someone with a junk drawer? Well, I don't Your mom's kitchen was just recently remodeled.
Yeah. That doesn't mean she doesn't have a junk drawer. But with stuff from I'm talking listen to some of the stuff they're finding. Like, old packages of Halls cough drops when they were the cubes Yeah. Yeah.
Yeah. In the little tube like Tums. Yeah. And, and in you know, and and, they weren't individually wrapped. You just under undid the foil like a lifesaver to pop your hallways.
Okay. We're gonna go to my house, my mom's house. Maybe not in her kitchen, but in her bedroom. Cabinet? In her medicine cabinet, in her bedroom.
She's got, I'm guaranteed. So here's some of the other things people have found as they've been looking through their grandparents' kitchens. Miracle Whip from 1997. Yeah. A jar of canned peaches from 1976.
Woah. Peanut butter from 1983. A once in a lifetime box of Cheerios Mini O's. Minios. From the year February.
Probably made with real nuts. Maybe. Oh, it was just Cheerios, not Honey Nut Cheerios. It was just Cheerios Minios. They were little tiny that was a thing.
Yeah. A Hi C juice box featuring the Backstreet Boys official fan hotline. Dick. Did they call it? I don't know.
I haven't seen that video. A jar of Gerber baby food carrots from 1994. Ew. Okay. It's still sealed.

Oh my gross. Mhmm. Box of Twinkies from the year February I bet those are so good. With an offer for a free movie rental. Sick.
Yeah. Almond extract from the seventies that seems to have evaporated. It seemed like an empty bottle. A box of, new Coke in the fridge K. When Coke did new Coke.
We're gonna go do some digging. And the last one on this list is Gatorade in glass bottles. Oh. Do you remember Gatorade in glass? I do not.
Ever remember Gatorade in glass. I remember Snapple. Snapple was in Glass. Yep. Snapple.
What happened to Snapple? They're still around, aren't they? I don't know. I'm sure they are. Seen a Snapple in a long time.
Yeah. New flavor alert. Peach tea and lemonade. Get it now. I've never seen a Snapple in the store.
Yeah. It's it they do Snapple kiwi strawberry, Snapple teas. Okay. Snapple's still around, but it doesn't have that bottle, the the little thing you could push in. That was the probably the most annoying noise to my parents ever was sitting in the back seat going on the lid of a Snapple.
You're fun. I was fun. Do you remember Sobeys? Yes. I love Sobeys.
I would skip class with my friend and go get some Sobeys. I always got the white one. What was it called? Coconut. It was a coconut flavor.
It was this one right here. It was called had a lizard on it. Yeah. There was a pina colada one. Yeah.
It was That was the white one. Liz Bliz pina colada. My friend and I, my friend Rhiannon and I would skip class, and we would go get Sobeys or Jones soda. We would take because you were rich. Jones soda was for rich kids.
No. It was not for rich kids And a donut. And then we'd be like, hey. We've been in class the whole time. We're here.
It's weird. It's weird you got that donut. Okay. We're digging in my mom's house when we go there next weekend. We're gonna find some treasures.
I'm nervous. Why? What else might we find? Treasures. I don't know.
Like, Linda, did you know you had this? You're like, what is that? I don't know. Yeah. She's not gonna know.
Right. Treasures. Treasures. Okay. You wanna do a Friday edition of would you rather this or that?
Sure, baby. Would like to hear it. K. Would you rather Sure. Have five inch uncuttable toenails?
Gross. You can never cut them. Five inches? What's five inches? It's a lot.
Okay. Alright. Hold on. It's like this. I got a piece of paper.
This is eight and a half. Yeah. So, yeah, it's gonna be like Fold fold it in half the other way. Like, the long way. Right?
Oh, no. No. No. I know what you're saying. It's 11.
Okay. If you fold it in half, that's five and a half. I got you. Okay. It I know.
Gross. And you can never cut them. Or have porcupine quill armpit hair. That's sharp. You'd have to walk around like this with your arms raised.
You could never hug anyone. Why aren't you saying anything? I'm really debating things right now. I'm gonna take the porcupine quill pit hair. Why?
Because it does indeed lay down. It's not gonna be out all the time. Okay. So I think I'll be able to function. Okay.
Shirts are gonna get damaged, so I'm probably gonna be a tank top guy. So that's part of the that comes with the territory. Sleeves don't exist for me anymore. I'm all vests and tank tops. Or you're just shirts with the sleeves cut off.
Also a good look. But we knew a guy who did that with every shirt he owned. Just cut off the sleeves. Don't need them. Gross.
And then, because I'm not gonna buy giant clown shoes to fit my five inch toenails. I know. How would you even walk? It'd be like wearing a flipper. You'd be snaggle snaggle toes.
Snaggle toeing everything. Gross. Couldn't wear socks? No. I'm trying to determine if I would rather have you with the long toenails or with the armpit hair.
Do you hear me walking down the hall? Well, like a dog. I'm gonna go our porcupine hair too. Really? Quiet down.
I can't original. Stop. I don't just copy you always. Let me hear your logic. Why are you picking porcupine hair?
Because the hair lays flat. There it is. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah.
Yeah. Yeah. Of course. Yesterday, we talked about dandelion bread. And You didn't make it.
No. Because guess what? Nine dandelions. Yeah. I got I got home.
Immediately got out of my car, and I went, okay. I'm gonna count the dandelions. You walked in, and the first thing you said when you walked in the house was we have nine dandelions. And I went, cool. And I I said, is that enough to make a cup?
And you said, no. I need a cup. Actually, two cups because you're gonna make your recipe, and I'm gonna make my recipe, and we're gonna see which one is better. So I need two cups of dandelion. How many dandelions make a cup?
More than nine because you're only taking the yellow part. Right. I know it's gonna be more than nine. I just need to know how many because here's what's gonna happen. The nine that are fully bloomed right now are gonna start to die.
They already are starting to die. Because once something blooms Can you harvest them and freeze them? I don't know. Look it up. I don't know anything about dandelions.
It up. Because, like, in the recipe I saw, it looked like they were, like, cut off of the thing. The stem? Well, even those little bulb thing. Like, it's just the petals.
It's just the yellow petals. That's it. Okay. And so if you were gonna cut the recipe in half to do mini loaf like we talked about Yeah. Then we need one cup because you're gonna use half and I'm gonna use half.
I think I think nine dandelions will produce a half a cup. That's what I think. I disagree. I don't think you're even gonna get a quarter cup out of nine dandelions. A quarter cup?
I think I'll get a third of the cup. That's more than a fourth. I know. Good one. I know.
That's what I'm saying. I know. I I'm saying think it's gonna be more than a quarter cup. No way, dude. Yeah.
Nah. I bet I'm thinking about that little metal quarter cup thing we have. Yeah. Nine dandelions, just the petals. Yeah.
Not a quarter of a cup. No way. We're gonna find out. But can you cut them off and then put them in a bag and freeze them until you collect them? Freeze them, but maybe you could refrigerate them.
I don't know if you wanna freeze them. Look it up. I'm gonna go ahead and people make dandelion tea and stuff. Like, they they do all kinds of things with them. So someone knows how to store dandelion petals.
K. I'm gonna look it up. This sounds like some sort of sorcery. Yes. I need dandelion petal, frog's breath.
Nothing is more suspicious than frog's breath. One thing we know is that it is super suspicious. Your dandelion finally getting to the answers that we've been looking for. Okay. You can dry them or use you can dry them or store them in the refrigerator.
Mhmm. I'm not gonna dry them, but I am getting that them for a tea or whatever. Okay. But here's what I also am having a hard time with because I do realize that this is important for bees. And so you're being torn between helping the bees and making the bread.
Yeah. Well, let's leave these nine alone. Okay. Okay. And then we'll, Wait till there's a bigger selection.
Yeah. I just am gonna forget. You're gonna forget. You're not gonna see a dandelion in the yard and go, oh, yeah. Bread.
Every time you see a dandelion. Okay. Maybe I won't forget, but I'll lose my motivation to do it. Like, right now Well, I already did. You did?
I'm not. I'm still in it. Are you? You don't have to make yours, but I'm gonna make mine. Mine looked better.
No. It didn't. Yeah. It did. Mine looked like lemon bread with a glaze on it.
Yours looks like a bun. Yours looks like a dry bun. You didn't even see mine. Mine looked like cake with icing. I'm gonna make both of them.
I'll do it I'll do it all, Josh. Don't worry about it. I'll do it all like I always do. What are you talking about? Oh, I see yours.
That's nice. That looks nice. Better than that role you posted. No. They both look good.
Mhmm. Yours came from holy cow vegan. That's it. That's why mine doesn't have eggs in it. It has coconut milk instead.
Okay. Alright. Update to come. I'm not losing hope in this. I'm not losing my ambition on this.
I'm gonna make this dandelion bread. Just you wait. Oh, I'm waiting. Let's wrap up the show. Let's have a weekend.
