Unless you wanna look like a strawberry. Don't make me turn this car around and other empty threats from dad and mom. Right. Someone stole the Easter candy, and now we have to buy more. Who was it?
I don't know. Who did it? Who stole it? Oh, no. Who stole the Easter candy?
Was it you? No. It might have been. It might have been. I'm positive that Josh could eat every meal in five minutes or less.
Let's find out. I need to. I gotta remember time. Constitutes a meal. Because, like, a a slice of pizza, absolutely.
Not a problem. Okay. Like, you sit down with your plate of food. Yeah. That's your meal.

La dee da dee da. Is that, like, a rap song? La dee da dee da? Yeah. Yeah.
Yeah. It is. It is. We are Josh and Chantel. This is wake up classy 97, the podcast.
It is episode 214. Yeah. I know. Getting up there. Enjoy today's show.
Hi. What is up? First thing you said was, it's only Thursday. Yeah. It's been a very, very long week.
Has it? Yeah. I feel like it should already be Saturday. I've I've got, an out of town camping trip tomorrow. I'm, like, stressing about time.
There just isn't enough time to get all the things done. Fortunately, got a head start on a couple of things yesterday, so I'm a little bit breathing easy. But I still have to pack. I still have to get everything ready to go. I still have pack for the whole weekend and get into the camp.
You got time. I have today. You've got time. What time do you have to be there tomorrow? Not till six?
Yeah. You have time tomorrow too. I don't have time. Yes. You do.
No. You're gonna be fine. Strapped. Settle. You're gonna be fine.
You're gonna be just fine. I'm just telling you. I'm just telling you. No. I'll tell you.
Be cool. I'm stressed about this time. Just chill out. When do I pack for things? Like, three weeks before the event.
When am I packing for this? Two days. Today. Okay. It's still before the event, isn't it?
I'm way behind. You're not behind. You're fine. Be cool. Chill.
My guy? Chill. It's already Thursday I know. Is my point. I know.
You're saying it's only Thursday. I'm saying it's already Thursday. Why didn't you pack three weeks ago? Exactly. No.
But why didn't you? Right. It's what I'm saying. Why didn't I? Man.
It's fine. You're gonna be fine. To find things. That's the hardest part is that stuff isn't just easily accessible. I need to find everything.
What do you have to find? I gotta get my backpack. I gotta get my sleeping bag. I gotta get the everything. I have to get everything.
Everything and then some. Okay. In the truck. That stuff's in the shed. No.
It's not. Where is it? It's in the garage. Oh, you should have packed weeks ago. See?
The garage is a disaster. I know. And I have a path to get from one spot to where stuff is. And every time I come out in the garage, more stuff is piled in that path. Every single time.
And I go, quit blocking my one path. I didn't know that was your one path, but also That's why there's always a hole there because I move all the stuff. Yeah. You move all the stuff to the inside of the house, and I don't want all that stuff on the inside of the house. It's in my path.
Of the house. It's in my path. So I move it back to the garage because In my path. In my path. In the house.
Up against a wall? Yeah. It's gross. I don't like it there. Go away.
I don't like looking at it. So I throw it in the garage. What an impasse. Especially when there's stuff blocking it. That's what I'm saying.
We got we got stuff blocking our paths. It's craziness. Well, be fine. You're gonna be fine. I'm gonna try to be fine.
I'm gonna do my best. You're gonna be just fine. K. You got you got all of today. You got all of tomorrow.
You're fine. You're fine. Now I'm stressed. What are you stressed about? I got grocery shopping to do.
Yeah. I've got cornbread to make. Uh-huh. I've got packing to do. When do you make the cornbread?
I'll probably make it tomorrow. You will? It's gonna sit there for a couple days. One day. Unfurl your eyebrow.
No. Why do you act like that's a big deal? Why? Don't you want it fresh? Don't you wanna make it on the day?
I I don't know. I won't have time because I'll be traveling. On the day? On Saturday? Yeah.
I don't know when I'm leaving yet. Am I leaving Friday? Am I leaving Saturday? I don't know. I don't know yet.
See, I I have more planned than that. Anyway You're gonna be fine. Be cool. Alright. I'll be fine.
I'll be cool. Good morning. It's Josh and Chantel. Did you ever do Easter egg hunts when you were little? Oh, sure.
You did? Mhmm. Where did you do them at? In the yard. House?
Yeah. We always most always, my family would go to a place called Lake Walcott. Okay. It's near Rupert. Sure.
Idaho. Uh-huh. Have you ever been there? Yep. You have?
Uh-huh. Okay. With me? Nope. When did you go there?
With your brother-in-law and your nephew. Oh, to fish? For fishing? Oh, I loved that park. That was the coolest park.
We always did Easter there, and then we would do a big Easter egg hunt there. It was fun. Yeah? I miss Easter egg hunting. Now you make it easy for the little kids.
I'm thinking I'm trying to remember. I think, like, they were around the inside of the house even. Really? Yeah. I don't think they were even much outside.
Like, I was I was I I said yard initially because that sounded like the right thing, but I think they were in the house most of the time Interesting. When I was real little. Yeah. Use real Easter eggs or plastic Easter eggs? We did too.
Yeah. Real hard boiled eggs. Yeah. Us too. Or hidden around the house.
Hidden around Lake Walcott. There's probably still some there from 1987. I doubt it. I doubt there's nineteen eighties eggs laying around there. Something tells me.
Okay. So I saw this really cool idea that I thought would be fun. We've got in my family, there's two littles, and the rest of us are over the age of 14. And so Easter egg hunts, you gotta get creative with your Easter egg hunts now. And so I saw this really cool idea where you could take a picture of where you hid your Easter eggs.
Oh. It's like an adult Easter egg hunt. Okay. Yeah. Yeah.
Yeah. And then you hang the picture on the wall. Sure. And then based on the picture or what's in the picture, you make it all cryptic. You know?
Sure. And then you have to go find the egg based on where you think it is on the picture. Right. Yeah. Close-up stuff.
Yeah. I wanted to do that. I think I'm out of time. I think I'm out of time to do that. This is twice we've talked about time running out.
This is also where you insert good intentions into your name. I know. Exactly. But here's the other thing about that. What?
No one knew you were going to do that but you. I know, but think of how much fun we could have if I Okay. Did do it. Are you I mean, we'll still have fun. Yeah.
But that Easter egg hunt could have been real epic. I understand. How's Easter games coming along? Also, fine. I just need to get Fine.
It is fine. I need to get some supplies. Uh-huh. Some of those supplies are in the top of the garage. Good luck.
I know. I'll have Beck get it. What was I gonna say? I just realized I didn't even pull down your spring decorations. I know.
No. Man. I know. How'd that happen? I didn't pull I have Valentine decorations that I didn't pull down.
I have Easter and spring decorations. I I haven't pulled those down for years. One, they're I can't pull them down because they're too heavy. Yeah. But we didn't even talk about it.
I know because I always feel bad asking you. Oh, okay. Keep that up. What's that about? Feel bad?
Okay. Listen, though. Now I was just thinking about this idea that I had for an Easter egg hunt. It wouldn't work anyway. I couldn't do it anyway because you have to take pictures of where you're gonna hide the eggs, And I Right.
Don't live at the place that we're gonna be hiding eggs. No. But you have a little mobile photo printer. Yeah. But I'm not gonna use that.
That's for my that's for my photo journal. That's for my How many eggs were you gonna hide? Like, 20 or so. And those are, like, a pack of 10 films? Yeah.
I'm So two packs of films? I'm not using those. Those are my special films. My point is you could buy two packs of films. I know, but those are not cheap.
Okay. So and they're small. They're teeny tiny. Draw a picture. Okay.
How about I'm just not gonna do it at all. I've accepted the fact that it's just not gonna happen. Okay. And I'm okay with that. Because you know why?
Because I got Easter games. Mhmm. And Easter games is gonna be epic. Is it? Yes.
Okay. I'm excited. No. You're not invited to play. That's right.
Because you've been poo pooing it the whole time. Okay. Only fun people allowed. I'm gonna say that from the beginning. So my brother-in-law might be kicked out too.
Wow. Because sometimes he's a little bit of a grump. So And my brother. How come all the dudes in the family are grumps? My sister can play because she's always ready.
Alright. Have have a good And my nephew. Have a good time. He's an old man now. He's probably gonna be grouchy with us.
He might be. We're hanging out. Easter games, here I come. Okay. Big thumbs up for Easter games that I don't get to play.
First, it was I wasn't gonna play. Now it's I don't get to. No. Because yeah. You've been a stinker about it.
Okay. Alright. My fault. It is your fault. Alright.
You only have yourself to play. Okay. My fault. It's time for some good news to get you going, and this story is wild. Wild.
Mhmm. Let's hear it. About a month ago, Mississippi was hit by some storms and winds that resulted in 18 tornadoes. Oh my. Yeah.
When a tornado was approaching Tiffany Emmanuel's home in the city of Kokomo, Mississippi, she and her family ran out of the house. They had to leave their pets behind, including a tortoise named Myrtle. Oh, no. Myrtle. Not the turtle.
The tortoise. Myrtle the tortoise. I was confused for a minute. Right. Well, when the family returned home, they were very thankful that their home was intact.
All of their pets were accounted for except Myrtle. Oh, Myrtle. After several weeks had passed with no sign of Myrtle, Tiffany was sure that the tortoise was gone for good. Well, then, April 7, when Tiffany was shopping at a local store, an employee asked her if she was missing a tortoise. She figured she would ask if it was mine because she knew I had all kinds of animals.
She showed me a picture of him, and I was like, oh my gosh. That's Myrtle. Myrtle? How can she tell? What are the defining features?
Shell patterns? Lipstick? I don't know what I think you'd know your turtle, your tortoise. They all look the same, don't they? I couldn't tell you.
Okay. Continue. After all the scary moments and worrying, Myrtle was reunited with Tiffany. She said, I know a lot of people. It's just a turtle to me.
He's my best friend. Yeah. Turtles. Tortoise. Tortoise.
She called him a turtle. What's her name? The woman. Tiffany and Myrtle. Best friends forever.
Best, friend? Yeah. Doing stuff really slow. Anyway That's great. I'm glad Myrtle's home.
Reunited. Boy, it feels so good. Alright. I was just, trying to read the article, but they want me to pay. So no.
Forget about it. No. How dare you make money off of me? That's right. It's good news.
To get you going, I just saw a, really funny video. I'm a play some audio from you. This is, this is a candidate who's doing a a job interview. Okay. And she shows up to the to the job interview.
Nice to meet you. I'm not sure if you know, but there's a bit of a animation on your face. Yeah. Hey. I'm not feeling well today, so is it okay if I don't show my face?
So let me tell you. She's in a is it a Zoom interview? Yeah. It's like a like a video call. Okay.
And she has a filter on her face that makes her face look like a plate of breakfast. So there's two fried eggs for the eyes, and the mouth is in a triangle of toast. And, and he goes on to say, hey. I don't think serious. Yeah.
She's like, I don't feel well. So, if I could just not show my face, that'd be great. And he said, look. It's not very professional. We I don't think we can conduct the interview this way.
It'd be great if you could, remove that. That would be helpful, for the process. And the video cuts out right after she changes it to a strawberry and says, is this better? She's just fooling around. It's gotta be.
Right? There's no way that's for real. Serious. That's all of the information I have. It's just what happens in the video.
It it does feel a little bit set up. It's a little silly. Yeah. It feels set up, like, for the views But it's pretty good. Face.
It's pretty funny. It is pretty good. It was posted by a hiring expert, and it's gone viral on, on TikTok. This so it it's claiming it's, like, a legit job interview that happened, that someone showed up that way. But You never know.
Maybe she could have been the best applicant he'd ever had. I mean, look. I'm trying to figure out what I would do if I was if I was interviewing somebody for a radio job and they did that. Like, would I how would I deal with that? I'm trying to figure that out because it's it's a bit of a personality thing.
It's kinda funny. This job is, like, lends itself to that kind of behavior. I just it it's certainly not professional. Mhmm. But it's also pretty.
But it is kinda I mean, she still showed up. She's still at the interview. I'm just not feeling well. I don't wanna show my face. If you're not here's the thing.
Even if I wasn't feeling well, you still try to put your best look forward. You can A plate of breakfast was her best look. First impressions matter, man. Second choice was strawberry. She's just messing around.
She has to have been. I don't know. I think that I think it's pretty, pretty funny. Plate of It made me laugh anyway. Of eggs and bacon.
Yeah. Or a strawberry. Yeah. I mean, it and it you've seen the one where the kids, like, little kids, they they have on the strawberry face Yeah. And they go, what am I?
And and they go, strawberry or whatever. It's that filter. Like, it's that realistic looking strawberry. It's hilarious. Anyway, I don't know how I'd handle it, but it might be fun to be in that situation and go, what do I do now?
What do I do right now? You probably take the same approach that guy did. I mean, I can't con I can't continue this in a serious manner. Yeah. I mean, like, alright.
This is fun. Let's go ahead and Rescate it. Couple of questions, and then, let's go ahead and and we're gonna hit some serious stuff as well. So I'm gonna want you to take that off. This has been fun.
No. But I think you can just reschedule. If you're not feeling well, we'll reschedule for a couple of days. Fair. We'll see your face.
Done. Done. Then. When you're feeling good about that. Just go no.
I mean, it it's gotta depend on the industry. Right? Like, if you're doing something real serious and you're interviewing somebody for something real serious, You still gotta have a little fun. You still gotta have a little bit of fun. No.
It's real serious. Yeah. What's a real serious job? I don't know. I life is too serious already.
Just have fun. I don't hate her for doing it, for trying, for having the guts to give it a shot. Is this better now? She's being real or fun. Breakfast to a bright red strawberry and and with all confidence and sincerity said, is this better?
Without even laughing. Just dry. Well done. So good. Did you ever hear, I'll turn this car around?
I don't know that I ever heard it seriously. Like, I never I was never told that. Like, if you two don't knock it off, we'll turn this car around. Never seriously? No.
Not that there were other threats. What were some of the other threats? I don't know. Oh, spooky. I'd have to think it was spooky.
Weren't threats by ghosts. No. I know. My dad said, I'll turn this car around. Actually, it was my mom who said it.
Mhmm. And then she said, your dad will turn this car around. And I think he was always like, no. I'm gonna keep going straight. Yeah.
You're not gonna tell me what to do. I don't I think the other line that your mom offered a lot and still does probably is, if you ask where where are we going? Mom, where are we going? And she'd say, crazy. Oh, yeah.
Where are we going? Going crazy. Oh, okay. It's not the answer. So your dad never said that?
I don't Here's the thing. No. I don't think I ever heard, I'll turn this car around. There was always the threat, but did it ever happen? No.
Also, did we ever stop doing what we were doing? No. No. I'm sure there were plenty of backseat disagreements between my sister and I, and the middle line was crossed. There's a divider.
You don't cross the middle line. And then a whole lot of mom, she's across the line. A lot of that kind of stuff. You had a middle line? You were rich.
No. That's just a just a barrier between the two sides of the line. You. The baby of the family. Yeah.
When there's three kids and all you had was a Oh, there were three of you? You guys are rich. What does that mean? Doesn't even mean anything. Oh, you had a middle divide?
Always had to sit in the middle always. Can I just sit by the window? No. No. No.
Get in the middle, little one. With your feet on the hump. That's how it goes. It's fine. You were cozy and warm and safe.
Plus you had a better view out of the front window. Did I? I guess I never looked at it that way. Yeah. Silver lining in that.
So what you needed to do rather than complaining about what you didn't have was to make what you did have very cool so that it would be in demand so that then they would go, I want the middle. Yeah. See, you never you never use reverse psychology properly. I didn't know how. It's because you're a baby, not an older sibling.
I know. You gotta learn the ways of reverse psychology to get what you want. I know. They just abused me. Sit in the middle.
That's the abuse. Sit in the middle. But then I would be if my brother wanted to touch my sister Across the seat. He'd have to, like, go past me. Yeah.
And it was mostly just my brother making a lot of noise because that's what boys do. They just make noise. Kids do that. That's not a boys exclusive. I feel like it's boys more than girls most of the time.
And then my sister. Tell him to be quiet. Yeah. And you're in the middle of all that. Too much noise.
Well, sometimes I would contribute To the noise. Oh, good. It's bug my sister day. Well, she was kind of a pain. I get it.
She's a grouchy old thing. Have some fun, Don. Yeah. Jeez. Settle down.
She's always had to look cool. Yeah. I no. We just had we just had backseat battles. That was always the thing.
But your car never got turned around, didn't did it? No. No. Mine didn't either. So that was a false threat always and forever.
Well, we can't trust anything you say, parents. Okay. You're not actually gonna turn this car around, are you? We're halfway there already. You're not gonna turn around.
There's no way we're going back. No way. We shoulda called him out on it. Yeah. He's like, oh, yeah.
Oh, are we? Oh, okay. You just filled up the tank full of gas. We're not turning around. Yeah.
Right. And the next time we get in the car, I get a window seat too. Right? Yeah. Okay.
Sure thing. We have already left before the heat of the day. Yeah. We had, in my dad had a a, like, late seventies Ford truck that had the jump seats in the back. So instead of, an actual bench, it had two chairs that faced inward.
Yeah. Oh, it's awful. Yeah. My brother had a truck like that. Were awful.
I had to ride in that once on a long trip. Oh, every time. Those were awful. Those were awful. Very uncomfortable.
And then when you had the dogs in there, they'd be in there too. Dogs. Yeah. Oh, yeah. Going camping?
You bet. Oh, Sorry, bud. Cramped in there. Yeah. That's bad for your legs.
That's why I sit like this now. I don't think they make those anymore, do they? The jump seat thing? Yeah. I there's no way.
Right? Can't be safe or comfortable. I can't imagine that it's, like, the the amount of times people get t boned, there's no way that's safe. Your back is right there. Yep.
Yeah. That's not safe. I I don't think they make that anymore. Good. They should.
That was the seventies. And eighties. What year was your jump seat truck? I don't know. You drove it in the The Dodge?
No. No. No. No. No.
No. It was a Nissan. Oh, you're rich. Hey. Hey.
I was trying to figure out what we were talking about. I gotta tell you a story. K. And I'm not proud of this story. Alright.
I have some Easter candy that I have purchased for Alright. You've to put in You have you've What? Go ahead. You've hidden it. Yes.
And you have opened it and eaten some? Yes. Alright. Knew it. I knew it.
I knew it. I was desperate the other day. For what? I was just I needed some chocolate, and we didn't have it. Not desperate.
Yeah. It was. No. Yes. No?
Yes. No? You lost control. Yes. Last hurrah.
I know. And, and then you could smell it wherever it was hidden, and you went, I smell chocolate. And then you opened it up, and then you had chocolate. And it was delicious. Yeah.
I bet. I have no regrets. I you know, I I'm glad I don't have a big sweet tooth. I really am. I'd be I'd be trouble if I did.
Why? Because I, like, I think I would be very much into, like, sneaking chocolates and stuff. I wasn't sneaking that. I just ate it in the open. Nobody was around, but I was like, yeah.
I want this I want this Nah. Cadbury caramel egg. Right. Yes. I do.
Because those are my favorite. Love those things. Yes. I do. It's too much for me.
Even the chocolate on the outside is too much. Here's the thing. I was doing so good. I normally don't like to buy stuff like that because I know I'm gonna eat it. And so I I bought it early, and then I was like, I haven't touched it.
I'm doing so good. I was doing so good. I bought it, like, weeks ago. Like, on Rescue Rangers when Monterey Jack has the cheese wave that comes through and it hits his nose and his mustache goes bling. Yep.
That's you with sugary chocolate treats. Yep. You get a whiff, and then you go, oh, and you float through the air following the trail to wherever the chocolatey treat is. And then you, and then you indulge. Yep.
That's what happened. And it was delicious. Way to go. Way to indulge. I have no regrets.
I'm glad you don't. See, I'm I'm a, like, a salty crunchy kinda guy. That's a snack I like, and we don't have a lot of that around. So I'm I'm pretty I've been pretty good. We I was just looking in the pantry today.
There's a bunch of crackers and stuff in there. Nah. Salty crunchy? Nah. I'm good.
I I haven't been snacking a lot in a couple of months. Good job, Josh. Thanks. I could do better about my water intake. I've been working on that, but but my snacking is at a real minimum.
Mine too. Clearly. Blast hurrah. Hey. I could've eaten more.
I just had one. Oh, is that yeah. So that's minimal. That's so much, though. Like, it's so rich.
It's just so sugary and rich. It's too much. Thanks for your judgment. I'm not judging you. I'm telling you that the the candy choice you made is way too Delicery.
Is. No. I'm much. It's so good. Makes my teeth hurt thinking about it.
I liked it. Okay. Good for you. Well, it was worth it? Yeah.
It was. So now you have to buy more? Yeah. Alright. There's the other end of the problem.
I was going to conduct an experiment last night. And halfway through what I needed to conduct, I went I remembered. Let me explain. Okay. I was watching a show, and the guy on the show said that it takes him five minutes to eat every meal.
And everybody was, like, in disbelief. And he said, no. Really. It takes me five minutes to eat every meal. And I said, I bet that's the same as Josh.
You think I could eat any meal in five minutes? Yes. Yes. I do. Yes.
I do. So then I was gonna put you to the test, and I was gonna time you at dinner last night. I don't see you I see you for breakfast, but you don't eat breakfast. I don't see you for lunch usually. Right.
So I was gonna tape or not tape you, but I was going to time you Stop watching. Yeah. Eating dinner last night. And I Without me knowing? Yes.
Well, how would I know if I was trying to finish in five minutes or not? No. That's the thing. I don't want you to know that you're I don't want you to try. I just want like that guy knew he could do it.
So he was like, I can I could do this challenge? It wasn't a challenge at all. Yeah. He just says, I eat every meal in five minutes because he gets down to business like you do. Yeah.
He doesn't waste any time. He doesn't chitchat. He just eats, which is what you do, and he eats so fast. So out that I don't eat fast. I take big bites.
K. It I'm not eating quick. I just take large bites, and so I consume the food quicker because I'm taking fewer bites Uh-huh. Than other folks. Okay.
Regardless, I still think it would take you five minutes to eat a meal. And I don't want I didn't want you to know because I don't want you to To try. Yeah. I don't want it to affect what you're Yeah. Doing.
So now that you know, I'm gonna have to secretly do it. Or I can just eat normal. Like, it's real easy to just eat the normal way I eat. Just eating. I just have to remember.
That's the problem. Last night when I remembered, you were halfway done with your meal, and I went, well So two and a half minutes in. I should've. Wasted. Wasted.
I think I think you eat five minutes. I think you could eat every meal in five minutes or less. First. First serving. Yes.
If I go back for seconds Yeah. That would be does not factor in. Right. You're just saying first. Correct.
Yeah. I'm trying to think if there's something that would force me to slow down. Like, if there was a a food that it's like, you just can't eat that quick. I haven't I haven't thought of it yet. Something that you have to work for.
Like, you don't eat this, but, like, if you're eating something that has a shell, like a lobster, and you have to dig the meat out, like, that's gonna take you some time. Or if you're eating trout and you have to get the fish out, but you don't eat those bones. Yeah. You don't eat that stuff? No.
I I'm a catch and release fisherman. I put them back. You're not a work to eat it kinda guy. No. I like to keep it simple.
I would say of all the things that like, I was trying to think, like, is rice make me eat with chopsticks. That'll slow it down. Okay. And I can. Yeah.
But I don't know if that necessarily slows you down. It would on on rice. Okay. It's hard if it's if it's Like chicken. Sticky rice.
But the bigger stuff, I can pick up no problem. Sticky rice. Yeah. That sounds nice. Now I got you thinking about Thai food.
No. Sticky rice. Mhmm. Yeah. I think okay.
So compared to your five minute meal time, how long do you think mine is? Two days. Two days? That's because I'm talking. I'm chatting.
And you have a small mouth, so you take small bites. And I'm talking. Yeah. Maybe, just eat while your food's warm. That's the other thing.
I don't want cold food. It doesn't go cold in that short span of time. It can. And sometimes it does. So I'm just gonna eat it while it's good and fresh and warm.
You don't waste that time, do we? No. I don't have the time to waste. You got things to do. That's right.
And when you're done, you're up. No. You're moving. That's not true. I'll hang out.
Not at the kitchen table. Not when we're at home. Oh, if I got dishes to put away or something, then I do that. You get, yeah, you get up and moving. If we're out at a restaurant, you'll stay put Yeah.
But you'll get out your phone and play a game. Right. You don't contribute to conversation at the table. I've done enough talking. I talk all morning.
Not to your family. Yeah. Part of your family, but not your kids. Yeah. I wanna hear from them.
They don't wanna hear from me. But you're not actively listening. Tasking. And this has been This has been how we eat dinner. There's something disturbing on the Internet.
There's a lot of disturbing things on the Internet. That is very true. But this particular thing, was was pretty wild. Yes. So, there's this video, that I that I ran across that has, these couple of people, dyeing some Easter eggs, and they were looking at the centerpiece that the grandma had on the table.
And and it was this really cute Easter basket with some eggs in it. And, and then they were kinda going through some photos, I believe, and they saw, they were dyeing some Easter eggs as kids. And they're like, man, these eggs look really reminiscent to what's sitting here in front of us in this centerpiece. So come to find out, grandma had held on to the eggs that the kids had died. The actual eggs.
The actual hard boiled eggs. Not fake. That that's right. That had been dyed years and years and years ago, teens of years ago. And they were still being used as a centerpiece.
So what do you do if you're at grandma's house and you're pretty sure that the decoration is the old eggs from when you were a kid? You open it up. You pick one up and shake it, and you hear that it's got something in it, and then you crack it open to see what it is. It's a petrified teens years old, dried out egg. Teen's years.
Because it wasn't twenty years ago. It was teens years ago. Teens? Okay. I've never heard that before.
That's because I made it up. Somewhere between thirteen and nineteen years ago, teens years ago, this egg was died, and then grandma saved it in the Easter basket decoration Graham. From the table. Oh, Graham. Not just the one.
Oh, there was multiple There were all of them. There was a dozen of them or so. I just love them. The kids made them. Oh, I'm doing I remember when the kids made them.
Do you think they had a I mean, obviously, they didn't have a smell after they'd been petrified. I bet, at one point, they certainly did. I think there was a couple of years she store them? I don't know. Because they weren't cracked at all.
Delicately taken care of. Individually wrapped in tissue paper and stored away. Think at one point, grandma forgot that they were real eggs. Oh, absolutely. And she was I just love these eggs.
I sure can't remember where I got them. My grandkids made these. That's right. We had them over, and they all painted eggs. I guess here's a Oh, man.
Nothing no harm or foul. Yeah. Foul. That's a chicken joke. I guess.
Chicken joke. Not to be confused with chicken joke. That's why I said it the way I did. Nice. Chicken joke.
K? Nothing it wasn't hurting anybody. If that's the decoration she wanted to use, I say go for it, I suppose. I find it rather gross, but listen. Your house, your rules, man.
Keep your eggs if you like them. I they had to, like, don't you think they went bad? Like, don't you think at some point there was a smell coming from the closet? Absolutely. Or the or the drawer or whatever.
Yes. Maybe she has, like, a curio. I also wonder okay. I would really like to known, like, the process by which they fermented or calcified or petrified, whatever it is. Science.
There's science here. The date that they were died to the date that they were opened? And when Teens of years. I get it. I get it, Josh.
Yeah. I really do. Yeah. Grandma. Grahams.
What did you get done? Oh, grams. Maybe don't store those. Hey, gam gam? Yeah.
Oh, is that what she goes by? Yeah. Okay. I made this when I was eight years old. I'm now 32.
Maybe we could throw this away. Yikes. Gam gam. You crazy. So are we gonna dye eggs this year or what?
I don't know. Or what? I mean, our kids are old. I don't even know if they want to dye eggs. We I don't know if we dyed eggs last year.
It makes a mess, but it's a it's a fun time. I I talked to her earlier about you could do marshmallows Yeah. Which seems fun, if you, you know, if you don't wanna hard boil a bunch of eggs. I suppose you don't have to hard boil them. You could just dye them.
You could. I mean, it's the same. It's that's a risk. Is it? Yeah.
What's the risk? What if you drop it? How many times have you dropped an egg you were dying? Some. Some times.
Look. I get it. With, like, small little kids, sure. Sure. There's a I think that risk goes up.
But if you've got teens and early twenties But I like hard boiled eggs. Okay. But do you need 12 or 18 of them? Yeah. Because you can make deviled eggs.
That's true. And you could just eat a hard boiled egg, and then you could make an egg salad sandwich, and then you could make potato salad. Thank you, Bubba. Listen. If you have that many hard boiled eggs, you're just dying them for, like, the the afternoon.
Yeah. And then, like, you're gonna make all of those things. Yeah. So why? Because they're delicious.
No. I understand. I understand that that part. But why go to the effort of Because making the mess? It's tradition.
Oh, is it? Tradition. Okay. That's from Fiddler. No.
I know where it's from. I am fully aware. Aren't we seeing that? Yeah. We are.
We got we got plans to see that. Couple of months. Couple of months? Yeah. It's in June.
Oh, okay. Cool. This is signed up. Yeah. We're gonna go we're gonna go see that in June.
So I don't know. I like the marshmallow thing because it's just water and a couple of drops of food coloring, so it's really easy. And you could even use paintbrushes on there. You could do whatever you want, and then you don't have to worry about all the eggs. That's fair.
I might Or you could paint rocks or you could paint a potato or you could just get a canvas and paint a picture. Oh. Or you could spend that time going on a walk. Yeah. Or you could spend that time taking a nap.
Or Yeah. Yeah. You see what I'm saying? You see you see I do. I get it, like, you know, with little kids.
I totally understand. Here's what the Paws company should have done. They should have offered a egg discount coupon with their Paws diet. Should have. Or they should have said, hey.
Listen. If you buy an 18 pack of eggs, you get the Paws pack free or something. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah.
You know, for half price. They should've they should've I don't know if they did. I'm just saying. That's that's somebody in at Paws should've been like, we're gonna struggle this year. We need to figure out how to make this better market this.
Yeah. We need to make the most of this. Paws. Yeah. Those those people have been around forever.
I know they have. They're little colored tablets. They drop in the vinegar. Yeah. And their little egg scoop Yeah.
Whatever that works. Little wire thing. That thing is awful. Yeah. You know the best part about that whole kits?
The like, the, like, almost transparent white crayon? Yeah. Because you don't get that anywhere else. I mean, you can use any color crayon you want, but you don't get that almost transparent one. That's a special crayon.
It's a special one. I also liked, like, the plastic, the sheer little ring that you could put around your egg. You have to do it before you boil them. My parents didn't let us do those. Wrap onto your egg.
Yeah. I always forgot that you had to do it when you boiled. And so then, you know, when our kids were little, and they'd be like, how do you put this on? I was like, oh. We It's not.
Totally forgot about those, the sleeve thing. The sleeve thing. Yeah. Those, my parents would do every year. While we were busy dying eggs, they'd be over there around a pot on the stove going like, hey.
We got the cool ones. Like, yeah. Yeah. I never got to do those. I just always forgot they were in there.
Right? Or you would you would dye, the egg a little bit, on the ends, and then you'd put a sleeve on, and then you'd have cool different colored ends. Yeah. Sick. I know.
You could get real creative with your Easter eggs, man. Yeah. I have. Cool. You know what I just realized?
That almost translucent white crayon Yeah. Is just wax. Yes. It's it's wax with no color. It's literally just a wax crayon.
Yeah. Molded to be the shape of a crayon. You could buy candle wax at the store, and that's all it is. It's just big old chunk of wax. All it is.
Write your name with a big old hunk of wax. If somebody was genius about that, really impressive. Impressed. Look at you. Yeah.
And then I figured out what it was, and now I'm not. Oh. It's just wax. That's why it looks translucent like that. Duh.
Easy, man. I have a couple of weeks ago. I guess last week, I woke up with a swollen ankle. Just one. Yeah.
It didn't hurt. I wasn't sick. I didn't sprain it. I didn't bruise it in any way. I wasn't overly active in any way.
Okay. Couldn't figure out why I had a swollen ankle. And then it went away the next day. I was like, okay. Fine.
Well, it's back. What's going on? I noticed today that I have, my ankle is swollen again. Now I'm looking to see what could cause this, and it's like a stress on the ankle, ankle sprains, prolonged standing or sitting, which I do a lot of sitting. My jobs are very sedentary.
So I gotta I gotta get up and move every now and then. But it also could say pregnancy. Well, let's, let's not do that. I know. Wait.
If we can avoid that, that'd be great. Kinda one of the first things that popped up when I googled, why is my ankle swollen? Great. No. No.
Nope. There's no chance of that. Oh, man. Let's not travel that road. No.
I'm too old. Yeah. I all of my kids know how to use the toilet. I know. Among many many other things.
Themselves in their own seat belts. You thought having a puppy was bad. Yeah. I know. Have another baby.
No. Thank you. Yellow. It's not. It's fine.
Okay. It's okay, Jo. Good. It's alright. Good answer.
So what's going on? I don't know. I honestly think it's just sitting too much, and so I've gotta get up and and move more. Let's work on that. I think it's a lot of fluid retention Yeah.
Which is great. Okay. The fluids retaining in my body. Alright. Feeling great today.
K. Let's, let's go ahead and not travel down that one road you decided you wanted to try to run down. Thanks very much. Alright. That was freaking me out.
Great. Now I know where you stand. I'm sitting currently, which is a good thing. Falling over. Man.
It's fine. That's not that's not gonna happen. What is your favorite summertime game to play at a baseball diamond? My kickball. That is right.
And today is national kickball day. Ball day. I know. Kickball. Tell me a funner game a more fun game than kickball.
Tell me. Water balloon fight is right up there. Not as fun as kickball. It's it they're both real good. Okay.
Water balloon fights are pretty fun. Oh, just water fight in general, I suppose. Okay. Because there's something real fun about just throwing water at each other. Anyway, kickball day today.
Kickball day. Yeah. Did you ever play Foursquare? No. Me neither.
I could never figure it out. We just didn't have that when I was in school. You didn't have a square painted on the playground? No. Like that, I didn't know about that until our kids went to school, and I went foursquare.
I don't I'd never heard of it. I our kids were really into Gaga ball. They started building those Gaga pits everywhere, and now they're gone. I don't I don't even know where you'd find a Gaga pit. You're right.
That was a fad. Yeah. It was? Why did they get rid of those? I don't know.
Interesting. Maybe it was too violent. Is okay. How do you play Foursquare? I've been I couldn't tell you.
That's why I was gonna ask. I don't know. I still to this day don't know. You know how you play kickball? Yeah.
You put a smile on your face. Uh-huh. You kick a ball, and you run. Like, you can't even get your wheels moving quick enough. You run.
It's it's a good time. Yeah. It is. It's a fun, fun time. We went to, this was, I don't know, a year or two ago.
We went to a a neighborhood park. Yep. To play kickball. Yep. And there was another group of people that rolled up to play kickball.
Yeah. And they were like, hey. Do you guys wanna play? Do you guys wanna join forces? And your sister said no.
Immediately. No. We're good. We don't wanna do that. We don't wanna have all the fun.
No. Here's why. You know what's funny is I think he asked my the the guy from the other team asked my brother-in-law. Right. Hey.
Do you guys wanna join forces? And he was like, yeah. I think that'd be fun. Right. And I think You got a team.
We got a team. Let's play kickball. I think you'd be into it too. But, immediately, my sister and I both said, no. No.
No. We're not here to play kickball. We're just here to play kickball. I'll tell you why. Because we're not competitive.
We just play to play. We just play to have fun, and we're goofs, and we don't wanna take it too seriously. And those guys looked like they were taking it seriously. You didn't even know. We didn't know.
They asked one question. Hey. Would you guys like to play a little, team on team here? A little bit embarrassed ourselves. You coulda just said, you know, maybe one scrimmage might be nice.
Give that a go. Hey. We're gonna play a three inning game. Make it short. We should have actually played with them.
You know why? Because it takes courage for them to even ask. Right. And it would have been fun to be like, you're route. You're route.
Alright. Well, happy, national kickball day. Oh, we gotta go play. That's the most fun I've ever had. Ever?
Adult kickball. Yes. Ever? Not ever, but man, oh, man. I think about that sometimes thinking how much fun I had.
We need a slip and slide to home plate. That's important. We didn't have that. We did not have that. That's important.
You gotta slide into home on the slip and slide. That's a a real important part we missed. Anyway, happy kickball day. Yes. I have a list right here that I know you are going to disagree with, and that's gonna be a lot of fun for me.
This is a list of TV shows that they claim remain 10 out of 10 through the entire run. If they say Big Bang Theory, I'm gonna I'm gonna be so upset. I I don't see that on the list. Okay. But I do see, the the show, 30 Rock on here.
Disagree. See, I knew you would disagree. Other shows on here, Golden Girls. Great. They say the entire run, 10 out of 10.
Okay. K. I agree. Alright. Mad Men.
No. Nothing happens in Mad Men. I So good. I don't get it. When Mad Men when was that show popular?
Maybe, like, ten years ago? Something like that. Everyone was talking about it, and I said, I'm gonna watch Mad Men. I'm gonna get into this. Everyone's talking about it.
Everyone says it's amazing. And I watched probably three seasons, and I kept waiting for something to happen. And then I was like, oh, nothing happened in that episode. Maybe I'll watch another one. Maybe something cool will happen in the next one.
K. Nothing ever happened. Alright. Well show get out of here with that show. So for the sake of, radio cleanliness, S Creek Okay.
That one's on the list. K. I like that one. I'm gonna run through a couple shows I haven't seen. Deadwood.

Saved it for last. Okay. Wait. There was one on there that you said that I was like, oh, Mindhunter. Yeah.
I gotta write it down. Oh, okay. Good. Written down. It's on a list.
I have to remember. I'll forget. Okay. But we did we did start that. We started that first episode maybe three different times.
Yeah. Maybe we should stay awake. I know. That's the problem, isn't it? We started too late.
And then we time. And then we forget about it, and then we're like, I don't know what happened. Start it again. Yeah. But I do wanna watch that movie.
And it has if I'm not mistaken, has who's the guy that plays King George in Hamilton? What's his name? Jonathan Jonathan. Groff. Greg.
Duga. That guy. I think you're right. Yeah. So why not watch that?
Okay. He's amazing. He doesn't sing in it, though. So It's Groff. I I get it.
I get it. You don't know. He might sing in it. Not that I've seen so far. At least He hasn't We've seen one episode.
A song once. He does not break out into musical at all that I've seen. Doesn't matter. He's still amazing. Well, there's a list of 10 out of tens the whole way through.
I agreed with four of those. Okay. Good. There was a list of, like, 15. So about what I expected.
Would you rather this or that? Would you rather have naturally auto tinting eyes? What does that mean? Oh, like sunglasses. Correct.
Okay. Or a naturally auto tuned singing voice. Yeah. That. Okay.
I can wear sunglasses. I got LASIK. I don't have a problem with sunglasses at all. I would like to be on pitch. Pitch.
Perfect tune. Tone, in tune every time I go to sing. Me too. Yeah. That would be fantastic.
Wouldn't that be something? Yes. I'd be famous. They'd be like, wow. What a lovely swing.
You can hit every note. What a what a local Charlie Puth they'd call me. Oh. Do you not know about Charlie Puth? No.
Oh, he has the ability to hear a noise and tell you what I think you did tell me this. It is. It's incredible. Yeah. You did tell.
Incredible talent. Local Charlie Poo. Yeah. Yeah. That's what they'd say.
Local Charlie Poo. He's our local Charlie Poo. Josh Tielor. Yeah. Pretty pretty cool.
Pretty powerful. Pretty good stuff. Who would they call you? They would call me the local Idina Menzel. Oh, is that the style you'd sing in?
What style does she have? Well, I know you don't like that, like, operatic thing that happens. I sure don't. Does she do that much? Sometimes.
Not much. But Yeah. I just think she's an amazing singer. Oh. She's Elsa for crying out loud.
Understand. She's many things. In Elphaba. I know. I mean, come on.
And other characters that start with e. There you go. Would you rather this or that? Well, the countdown to the switch two has begun officially. Okay.
However, anyone excited about getting their hands on the Nintendo Switch Switch two, is gonna have to deal with some uncertainty around pre ordering because of tariff issues. This is for real. This is an impact that's happening right now. Things may be looking up a little bit. News leaks suggest that US retailers are getting ready for Nintendo Switch to preorders as early as April 21.
That's next week. Wow. Uh-huh. While this isn't official news, stuff might be happening in the next week or so. And despite the uncertainty, Nintendo is still committed to launching the Switch two on June 5.
So they're trying to get things sorted out. There was a little bit of a snag in there, but they may have figured some things out to where they could do preorders as early as April 21 and then have those shipped and delivered on June 5. Are they coming from where are they coming from? Where are they where are they manufactured? Where do they manufacture it?
Uh-huh. Well, if there's a tariff issue, I'd assume it's an Asian country. Well Probably China. I don't know. Where?
I would assume Japan. But Well, that's where Nintendo is. Isn't that who makes the switch? It is primarily manufactured in Vietnam and China. Interesting.
Foxconn is a Taiwanese company, the main manufacturer for both countries. Some parts are made in Japan, like the Joy Con controllers. Many parts are made in China, and the final assembly takes place in Vietnam. Well, okay. I guess I'm not gonna be buying a Nintendo Switch two anytime soon.
You were mad about the price anyway. But Yeah. But now I'm especially mad about the price. Okay. Alright.
I'm mad about a $90 game. That's the thing that that's other thing. That's the one that really upsets me. $90 for a game is is too much. Astronomical.
It's too much. Yeah. It is. Also, I'm not gonna buy it. Okay.
Well, you can preorder as soon as April 21 for now. Just know that it's not gonna probably come for a while. It's only four days from today. Really? Yeah.
It's the seventeenth. Boy oh, boy. I do. Preorder four days, June fifth, the, delivery date. So do love a good Mario Kart, though.
I know. And there's a new Mario Kart game. Know, but it's too much money. It is a little bit of money. And now there's a tariff attached to it.
Well, sort of maybe because they've kind of found a way to work around it or something. I don't know what's happening. Nobody does. Is Nintendo Switch two, June fifth, preorder in four days. Okay.
That's the big news. And that's gonna wrap up the show. Oh, yeah. It is. Yeah.
