I've seen you sleeping. I've seen you Creepy. Well, I was driving. You were sleeping. So I've seen a lot of that.
That's what I've seen. I suppose we'll talk about that a little more in-depth later, because we need to. It needs to be discussed. Oh, does it? I think.
Okay. Okay. Did you wear your cape today? No. Why?
I wore a cardigan. Does that count? For the first time, or did you wear it again? No. What?
No. What? No. Why? No.
It's a superhero day. Oh. That's why I was asking. Superhero capes. Now in Incredibles, the lady who, makes the Capes.
Super suits. Yeah. She's capes are a bad idea. Yeah. And guess what?
Not every superhero wears a cape. No. I know. But the, like, the ones who do, who wears a cape? Batman?
Superman? Yeah. I feel like capes are kind of a DC universe thing. And I feel like capes kinda are gonna drag you down. You're gonna step on it.
That's not true. Somebody else is gonna step on it? There are there are some Marvel heroes with capes, I I realized. Wanda. Wanda?
Yeah. Who's Wanda? Scarlet Witch. I know. She has a a bit of a cloaky cape thing.

Girl. Power girl. Batgirl is a DC. Raven. Raven.
Century, Hyperion, Moon Knight, Doctor Doom. Okay. Spectra. Now we're getting into, like But let's let's be real here, though. When you look at the list of big Marvel heroes, Iron Man, like, Thor's the only one on that list that Doctor Strange.
And okay. And I would say there's there's the robot guy I know. Invasion. I would say that, that your your a list of Spider Man, Captain America, Iron Man, Black Widow, other than the Hulk. Thor is the one, and Hawkeye.
Thor is the one who has a cape in the big in the big, let's call him big ten. Okay. You're not gonna list doctor Strange in that? I would say he's he's outside the big ten. He's he's he's a a slash b.
And you're not gonna list Batman in that either? Not in Marvel. No. I'm not. Well, I know.
But we spend a lot of time talking about superhero cape. It is national superhero day. Well, I have a cardigan, and that counts as a superhero cape. For the first time? Stop.
Stop it. It is also, save a frog day and global pay it forward day. So if you feel like doing a good deed Today is the day. You should Pay it forward. Only if you want to.
Don't do it out of expectation. Do it because it makes you feel good. Pass on some kindness. It's a big deal. That's what's happening.
At least over here, that's what's happening. What's happening over there? Just wearing my cardigan. I'm not gonna make the joke. No.
Don't. Don't even you'll be fired if you do. I'm not gonna make it again because I already made it once. Look at my face. What's your face?
Disappointment. I can't even see it. Yeah. Disappointment. Dark.
We're just sitting here in the dark. Like, you're, like, lit by the glow of a monitor. Romantic. And, what? Good morning.
Today is the start of Idaho Gives. Yes. Fact. Okay. What else you gotta say about it?
Oh, Idaho Gives is a way to support Idaho's amazing nonprofit organizations. That's right. There are some really, really amazing nonprofit organizations here in Idaho Falls. In Idaho. Yeah.
In The Hills. Idaho Falls. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah.
Which is cool. So this is happening today through Thursday. It's a big fundraising campaign to support Idaho nonprofits. And Idaho nonprofits do a lot in our communities across the entire state. A lot of things you might not even think about.
So what we've done is we've gone through the list of I mean, there are hundreds and hundreds of nonprofits that you can select. From arts to, zoos to, I mean, salvation armies to, like, helping kids to helping the homeless to helping Right. So much A ton. You can choose from. And so, this is a giving campaign that runs for four days.

They serve over 1,000 families every month. Right. That's awesome. Over 1,700,000 mills. That's a big deal.
I am supporting the Henry's Fork Foundation because they, do some good work with some wild trout that I can't catch. So that's really good. I like that. They are the only nonprofit whose sole purpose is to conserve, protect, and restore the Henry's Fork and its legendary wild trout, which is great. I was fishing in that river this weekend, did not catch a trout.
So they are they're smart. They they they're educating these trout on how to avoid me Stay away from them. And how to not get not get caught by me, and that's how that works. So, I like that. Thank you for making the those fish very smart.

All you have to do is tap that link in our app or go to idahogives.org. And, thanks for helping out. So Idaho Gives, it starts today, goes through Thursday. How about some good news to get you going today? Let's hear it.
Alright. This is from Bilbao Spain or an 88 year old man. His name is, Juanjo Albizu. And he is turning heads and inspiring a bunch of people there because he's got impressive skills. What impressive skills?
What do you think? He's 88 years old. What do you and he's in Spain. What do you think he can do? Can he knit?
No. Can he, woodwork? No. I guess, just tell me. He's just, pretty wicked on the skateboard.
Uh-huh. That's right. He's been skating for years. He glides and performs tricks that would challenge much younger people. He took up skateboarding at the age of 70.
So he's been doing it for eighteen years partly because it was cheaper than participating in snow sports. Okay. And warmer. And he finds skateboarding more than just a way to stay fit, but also a way to add some excitement to his life. By breaking the routine, you bring something new to everyday life, he said, and that gives you a sense of rest, which I think is very interesting.
He points out that his body, even at 88 years old, can indeed handle it. He said, my bones are special between, sips on a post workout glass of white wine. How very Spain of him. That's what he does. He he goes, I I do my, my skateboarding.
I have a little white wine. I call myself an 88 year old skateboarder, and I'm in Spain. That's his whole life. That's what he's doing. That's pretty great life.
I mean, I guess. It's Juanjo Albizu, eighty eight year old skateboarding prodigy out of Spain. Skateboarding through life. Yeah. In between sips.
One wheel at a time. Yeah. Can he do the rails and the half pipes and all that? I I need to I need to check out some videos of him. I mean, he's doing half pipes and stuff, and and he looks great.
And he's also out there teaching people, which I think is cool. But he looks really good. You would never see him, like, you see this picture of him ready to drop into this half pipe, and he's got on elbow pads and wrist guards and stuff. But you would not look at him and go, that guy's 88 years old. He doesn't look 88, and he's out there tearing it up.
Good job, buddy. And surprising all the kids at the skate park. That's right. I bet he shows up, and everyone's like, oh, get a load of this. Gonna kick us out.
And then he's like, watch out. Move over. Move over. That's right. Move over.
Skating to do. That's right. Good news to get you going. Good job, buddy. I think it's a rite of passage when you're in high school to read Romeo and Juliet.
Do you? Yeah. I think that typically happens in ninth grade. I think for me, it happened in was it eighth grade? It was either eighth or ninth, for sure.
We read it, and then they decided they were gonna show the movie. Yeah. We watched the movie. And then they turned the TV around at one part, and everybody goes, what is happening? And then they turned the TV back around.
I think I know what part you're talking about. Right. That's how Romeo and Juliet was, displayed in this in in my because it was it was probably on VHS. Uh-huh. And they they drag in the TV cart, and you're like, yeah.
Added. We're watching a movie. Like, we're gonna be watching Romeo and Juliet. And it's like a two or three day long thing because the classes weren't that long, and so it'd take a couple days. But, yeah, when you got to that part, where there's a romantic scene between these two star crossed lovers, the TV gets turned backward and then turned back toward the class.
What if the teacher missed it? Oh, no. I I think they're pretty at least then, they were pretty good at it. Now where I'm sure there's digital copies if they even still show it. Yeah.
I don't think I'm sure they have an edited copy at this point. Oh, for sure. There's no way they're like, we gotta turn the TV around. Emery is in ninth grade. She's reading Romeo and Juliet.
Uh-huh. And I don't know if they're watching a movie of it. I don't either. But for now, they're reading. But they're doing, they call it popcorn reading.
I've I don't know that term. I don't either. Which is just where people bounce around, I guess, who's reading in the class out loud. But she, she got to read the balcony scene. She did, and she did not enjoy it.
Oh, Romeo, Romeo. Wherefore? Oh, Romeo. Well, she was telling us That's so funny. The one day they started, and she goes, luckily, there wasn't enough, parts, so I didn't have to I didn't have to read.
And I said, well, that just means that you're gonna have to read tomorrow. And sure enough Yep. She got the role of Juliet. Oh, fun. Yeah.
I've never I look. I it's so hard to keep up with with reading like that when they're doing it in parts or they're having people jump around and read a a paragraph or whatever. I never cared for that. I don't like that either. And you don't like people reading out loud to you at all.
Sure don't. Even if it's one person. And I am a fast reader. Right. And when people are reading out loud like that, that goes real slow.
And then I just wanna I just wanna move on. Come on. Let's let's get to reading. Just leave me alone. Let me read it alone, please.
Please. And I know it probably is to help some of the struggling readers in the class. Which is important. It is. I think that is important.
But but at the same time, it's like, man You're dragging me down. What's happening. And and and even Emery said, she's like, I'm two pages ahead. Like, I could read this on my own so much faster, and then I could do my book work or test or whatever I have to do to prove that I retain this knowledge, and then I can move on because this is awful. But then where would Romeo I know.
Yeah. The poor thing. That poor thing. Anyway Also, why are we still reading Romeo and Juliet? I feel like there are better things to read.
Is there a better tragedy? Yes. Yes. There is. From Shakespeare?
Yes. In literature? Yes. Which one? Macbeth.
I made a Macbeth joke at our daughter, and I don't think she cared for it. No. But it was fun to listen to you try to explain the plot line of Macbeth. Just the just the part with the she was telling the dog to get out of her room. And I said, oh, that's like lady Macbeth yelling at her dog, which she doesn't.
No. She yells at the spot on her dress. You know? You get it. Out spot.
That was very funny because she was just kept saying, Luna, out. Out. Out, Luna. And I went, oh, easy. Easy.
That's late, Beth. You've gone crazy. You've gone mad. Yeah. Anyway oh, Shakespeare humor.
That's fun. When, when, do you read, out loud? Like, ever? Are you just in your head? When I read to myself?
No. Like, do you, like, do you ever read I guess, just to the kids when they were little. Yeah. But that's it? Like, you don't you don't read out loud to people, like, today?
You don't have a part in your day where you're gonna read out loud to somebody? No. You should. You should just grab a book and just start in a public space reading out loud. Just see how it goes.
Gather round. Gather round. Yeah. Anyone who's near, listen to me read. It's just starting Because I don't like reading out loud either.
You don't? No. Why? Because my mouth gets all dry, and then I fumble words. People are listening, and then I go, blah blah blah.
Everybody's watching. Wah blah. My tongue gets all twisted. No. Thank you.
Alright. I'll just read inside my head. Thanks. I I think it'd be funny. You're gonna be in a group of people today that that can't leave.
Just start reading out loud. You're gonna be where people are stuck for at least twenty to thirty minutes per person. Just read out loud. I did bring a book. That would be so funny.
I'm not gonna do it. Oh, come on. No. Because they're all gonna look at me like, what? Double dog dare you.
Triple dog dare? Sure. I'll triple dog dare you. Triple dog dare. Lucky for the both of us.
I don't play dares. You should. Well, I, for one, am very excited to talk about the twenty sixth annual class e ninety seven second chance prom. It is coming up on May 17 at the Waterfront at Snake River Landing. It's gonna be from 8PM until 11PM.
And together with Browning's Honey, we are presenting an Enchanted Forest. Enchanted Forest. I know. We've announced the theme a little while ago, but now it's kind of getting a lot more official. It's only a few weeks away.
May 17 at the waterfront at Snake River Landing. Now a couple of things going on, this year that are a little bit different from previous years. Oh. This year, you can, get free tickets as usual, but you can also buy tickets online, in our app and on our website. So if you tap the, second chance prom link, you can buy tickets right there.

So if you wanna get your free tickets, your first chance to get those free tickets is gonna be happening today at 11:00. I'm gonna be at Browning's Honey, kicking this off, and then they will have those tickets there.

Right? It's a great night. It's a it's a it's a beautiful, dance floor and great music and good fun. And, we'll have that, $3.60 photo booth going again, which is really great. I've been talking to the decorator Yeah.
About some of the things that are gonna be Oh. Put in place and stuff. I'm really excited. It's gonna be very They always do a great job decorating. Yeah.
Juan is our decorator. He's awesome. A couple of years ago, we were as we were gearing up for the second chance prom Uh-huh. We were teaching different dance moves. Oh, yeah.
You were looking at old videos last week. That's right. Listen. If anybody should be teaching you dance moves, it should be me. Why?
Because I am so good at dancing. This is true. You were a ballroom dancer in high school. That doesn't mean I was any good. But that's a lot of trophies.
I won one trophy. You're right. Won more than one trophy. You won one first place trophy. No.
I won one trophy. I won some medals, but one trophy. But it was first place. It was first place. Yeah.
It's kind of a big deal. It is kind of a big deal. So quit selling yourself short. We had some pretty good dance moves, so maybe we should bring out some dance moves again and Okay. Get the people moving.
You know? Get the people moving. I mean, I like where your head's at. I do. I think it's a lot of fun.
So we'll have to we'll have to think about getting the people moving. I'm ready to get boogie on. Are you? Yeah. I gotta come up with some, like last year, it was the roaring twenties theme.
So we had some slang that we were talking. Sure. Sure. Sure. Know how to enchanted forest.
So you gotta start looking at some of, like, the Ren Faire stuff maybe a little bit. Look at some of the, you know, some of the, I'm trying to think, some of the stuff you might find in, like, Alice in Wonderland. That feels like an enchanted forest. I was thinking, like, ever after with Drew Barrymore. Because it's less fairy tale and more, I don't know.
I'll have to think about that a little bit. Think about mystical. It's more mystical than fairy tale. Yeah. Yeah.
Anyway, if you, if you'd like to join us, it's May 17 at the Waterfront at Snake River Landing, 8 PM to 11PM. You can dress the theme. I was just gonna say you can dress in the theme or just come as you are or make your own theme. A lot of people will just make their own seen that happen too. And have a good time.
Yeah. It is good. It's the twenty sixth annual classic ninety seven second chance of like a tree. Oh. What?
What? I forgot to say, your ticket also gets you entered this year to win a $200 Visa gift card that we'll give away just after 10PM. And you do have to be present at the prom in order to win that, but when you come in, you'll enter that drawing. And you see that big glass bowl right there? I do.
That's what that's for. Oh. Uh-huh. Oh. So we're giving away some prize, a big prize $200 Visa gift card.
And, again, Browning's Honey is making this all possible, so make sure you, stop by and see me today. I'll be there at eleven with your first chance to get free tickets, and you can stop by there anytime. They're open after 11:00 today and, be able to get your free tickets to the twenty sixth annual, Classy ninety seven second chance prom. Enchanted Forest. Mhmm.
With Browning's Honey. Mystical. You sent me a video about, their the late night show host Seth Meyers Yes. Was out with some friends. I can't even remember who he was interviewing, but his friend was like, we'll be we've been friends for years, and we'll be out having dinner or something.
And if there's any kind of break in the conversation, like a conversation lull, Seth Meyers has to feel like he has to fill that void. Correct. He feels like if there is any silence, that it's really bad. That's how I feel. And I think you sent it to me because you knew that's how I felt.
Right? Yeah. You feel like you have to, Feel the silence. Yeah. Yeah.
Yeah. I do. And I'll tell you why. Why? Because I feel like when there's silence, then the people that I'm with are like, oh, this is boring.
And that in turn makes me think that I'm the boring one. And that in turn makes me think that because I'm the boring one, they're not gonna wanna hang out with me again. That's not even a thing. It's not a thing. So that's what I'll be talking about in therapy.
Good. Yeah. You should. That sounds like the appropriate place to handle that. But, also, like, for real, no one is like, man, it got quiet.
That's Chantel's fault. But that's what I always feel like. No one ever does that. I know. No.
You don't. No. I don't. You don't know. I don't know.
But I'm telling you, no one is doing that. Nobody's going, boy, sure got quiet in here. Thanks, Chantel. Yeah. Why don't you say more things?
Yeah. Hey. Maybe you should entertain all of us nonstop. All the time. Right.
You are indeed the jester here, so please do your little dance. When in reality, when there's lulls in conversation, I bet the people that I'm with are like, finally. Right. She shut her mouth. I just wanted some quiet.
Right. There's nothing wrong with quiet parts of conversation. There really isn't. I know that. And and I think, you know, with Seth, his thing is that he interviews people, and his job is to keep conversation going.
And so in his setting, his whole thing is that he gets, he gets uncomfortable because he feels like he's not doing his job to keep the conversation going because that's what he's been trained to do for so long. Well and I'm not trained to do that as a profession. That's what I'm saying. Where does this come from? Oh, I don't know.
I feel like it's my job to keep conversation going with my friends. It's not. Every individual can have their own conversation. If there's a lull, it's okay. I know.
But then I go You've seen love on the spectrum. Right? Yeah. When things get quiet, what do you say? No.
I've run out of things to say. I'm still having a great time, but I don't have anything to say right now. Try that. I should try that. It's it's handed to you from Love on the Spectrum.
Tanner's is. Yeah. It's great. It's great life advice. It is really cool.
Having a great time. I just don't have anything to say right now. And so I'm just gonna sit here, and if and I don't want you to think that's weird. I'm just sitting here and enjoying your company in the quiet. It's okay.
Okay. Right? Yeah. No. That's good.
That's good advice. Now when you go talk to your therapist and she says the exact same thing, are you gonna believe her? That's what I'm saying. That's what I told you the other day. I know.
I said, you tell me the exact same things that my therapist tells me, and I pay her. I get it for free from you. I don't know why I have to pay her. Well, you can pay me. I could.
We gotta figure out how to bill that to insurance. To our own can you bill your own insurance for stuff like that? For yourself? Yeah. I applied a Band Aid.
Can I bill that? I that's a loophole. I gotta figure that out. Work. I think they're gonna do it.
Insurance companies are so easy to give us money. I feel like they're they're gonna pay you. Yeah. They'd be like, that this guy is doing medical miracles, applying band aids, helping with mental health. It'll be so easy.
Mhmm. There's not gonna be any kind of paperwork or phone call. What I'm saying. It's gonna be so easy. Working with insurance companies is so easy.
It's gonna be It's a snap. Piece of cake. That's right. I'll send them a letter and just say, hey, how do I go about filing a personal claim? And they're gonna say, well, you you usually, your doctor hands it.
My right. I did it. I'm the doctor. Right. I did it.
So I would like to file that claim. I'm a figure it out. Go for it, buddy. You're gonna have the best of luck. I know it.
I just know it. A picnic. A picnic. I had a picnic. You did?
Where? When? How did it go? When did it happen? Who was there?
Who made it happen? How much did you know before you got there? Because it wasn't really a surprise because it was built in the kitchen, and I wasn't really trying to surprise you with it. I was just making lunch. A picnic?
A picnic. Alright. Look. You've been you've been begging for a picnic for years. Yeah.
And, we we were out and about trying to go on a hike. And, we'll we'll explain a little bit more detail what actually transpired, here in just a minute. But the idea was to go on a hike. And in my head, I said, here's here's the plan. We're gonna wake up.
We're gonna go to the mountains. We're gonna go on a hike. We're gonna sit at this beautiful lake. We can have some lunch, or we can, depending on how strenuous the hike is because it's a short hike. It's only a mile and a half.
So a three mile total hike. Uh-huh. A mile and a half in, then a mile and a half out. Uh-huh. Either that's no big deal.
We'll do this little thing. We'll get back to the truck. We can have a little picnic, and then we'll drive home. That was kind of my that was kind of my thought process in my head. And it kinda went a little awry, but lunchtime came around, and I still had the tailgate down, and I opened up all the lunch stuff.
And I just had, like, a little homemade charcuterie thing with stuff I grabbed from the house. Yeah. And and picnic, we had. I mean yeah. Kinda.
I mean, it's a tailgate picnic. It was a tailgate. It was fine. It was fine. I feel like it was subpar.
I feel like I didn't even come close to meeting expectations on your picnic right now. I'm getting the I'm getting a vibe that my picnic wasn't the picnic of your dreams. It's not it's not your fault. Uh-huh. The weather wasn't cooperating.
Okay. It was a little windy. And, yeah, it would have been nicer if we were, like, on our hike, and it would sunshine, and we could have laid out a blanket and had an actual picnic. Right. But a tailgate picnic is fine.
It was fine. I was happy to have a picnic. I I feel like you might not have been as happy with the picnic as you could have been, though. I don't know why I'm feeling that, but I'm kinda picking up a vibe that I still owe you a picnic. No.
You don't feel like No. I feel like, yeah. I do. No. Josh, there's no hidden undertone here.
It was No. It's not hidden at all. No. It's it's just it's fine. You don't owe me a picnic.
It was lovely. You had some berries and some fruit and some meats and cheeses. It was delightful. Yeah. It was great.
Had a delicious, smoked Gouda. Yeah. Nice. It was nice. No complaints.
You brought the good crackers? You that was the first thing you saw. You brought the good crackers. I said, yeah. I grabbed crackers from the pantry.
Yes. I did good. Though. I did good. You did good.
That's well and you don't owe me anything. It was a great picnic. I was happy that you packed a picnic. I But it but it could have been better if it was, like, a sunny day picnic with a blanket in in some trees. That's not anything you can control.
So that's not on you. On top of a hill with waving grasses around in the little soft breeze. That's not on you. Near a big tall tree with a wooden swing on it. This is what I think you wanted.
And there's a creek nearby. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah.
It's a painting. You want a painting? Yeah. Yeah. Alright.
I still owe you a pic. You don't owe me a pic. Yes. I do. Okay.
Okay. We didn't get to hike. You got a subpar picnic. It was a fine picnic. And I didn't catch a fish.
Alright. So what happened is, I wasn't sure what we were gonna find when we, drove to where, I wanted to hike. And, along the way, you were kinda like, this road is so windy, and it just kept going Yeah. Going and going. And I said, well, look.
After the hike, there's another way that we can go home, so I'll go that way home. And now I know that once once we, do want to go do this hike again, because this is on my list for this year, and and, and so I will try and get back up there to do this hike. I'll go a different way. I'm not gonna go the way we ended up going after we couldn't get to where we wanted to. Okay.
You can actually take the freeway for a good portion of it and then and then cut east, from the freeway. Yeah. I don't know. It made me a little bit nauseous taking that route. It was a long windy, very long straight shot toward a mountain.
And then when you get to the tiny little town at the base of the mountain, you find out the road is closed. Mhmm. That's what happens. And I thought to myself, do I just try it? Like Yeah.
Like, I think the I think the the roads closed signs that they have, which I ended up being behind one anyway, unknowingly. I think they're there through the winter. And I think they're there because it's probably not safe to travel those roads in the winter, but it the roads weren't bad. And and maybe they would have been as I got closer to where we were headed for the trail. Yeah.
And and maybe I'm just too early. Maybe April's just too early to try and head to the mountains to hike like that. It's okay. We tried it. Yeah.
And I'm I'm gonna go back. There. Yeah. And then you were able to get in the water. Well, the so we couldn't do the hike, so you I said, well, there's other places we can hike.
Let me do some some looking at my map, and I knew that there were some fishing areas nearby. I also knew where we were, and I went, I I can get us to where we're familiar at least. So let's let's try that. And so somehow, someway, we ended up in Island Park, because that's how that works. You try to go one place, and then hours later, you end up in another place.
And you know where you're at. I thought you were gonna say, somehow, someway, I ended up fishing. Well, you said how that happened. You said, well, why don't you try to find somewhere to fish? And I said, well, I I can get us to where at least I know the area well.
And so let's let's try that. And so that was the plan, and off we went. And, The dog got stuck. Let's talk about the dog. Let's not talk about the dog.
You said we should bring the dog. And I thought, yeah. For the hike, yeah. Absolutely. We should bring the dog on the hike.
Yes. I like this idea. Let's take the dog. Let's get her outside. Let's let her walk and and explore and smell some some things, and and it'll be great.
When I ended up fishing was great. It was not the same as taking the dog on a hike because it's hard for you to just chill out because the dog's like, there's stuff going on. I wanna go out and explore and look and smell and whatever. And she about got stuck in a rock cave. Yep.
She She was tried to dig in for mice. Mice. Yeah. And then, yeah, and then she got hurt, which was a whole thing, and she bled all over the back seat of the truck, which Yep. That was a whole ordeal.
Take the dog. The dog's okay. She just snagged her toenail somehow on the on the step getting into the truck, and, and so it was bleeding. And, oh my gosh. It looked like a terrible scene in the back of the truck, but she's okay.
Bandaged her up, and she looked all sad with her little paw and wrapped in gauze and taped up. And, anyway, she's doing fine. But, yeah, then, no fish. Not a single fish Sorry. Doc.
In, like, three or four different types of bodies of water that I went and explored and tried. You got rained out? Frustrating. I got I got down poured on, which was pretty cool. It's I I like standing in nature.
I've got gear. I've got rain I got my raincoat on. It's fine. I don't mind. And the thunder's doing its thing, and and it's okay.
I didn't see any lightning. There are no flashes. Otherwise, I would have hustled out of the water quickly. But it was it was okay. Like, it was all good.
And you got some naps in. I did get some naps in. Two two naps. You and the dog sleep in the car. I drive and just listen to my my, shows and my music and whatever.
They told you. I'm a I'm a toddler. Give me a nap and a snack Yeah. And I'm fine. So I explored the mountains while you when the dog nap snacks?
That m I tailgate picnic. The if if the car is moving, then it lulls me to sleep. Yeah. It's all that white noise of the road. Now there were some, some road constructions and some cattle guards and some things that I would go over, and then you'd go, oh, I'm not asleep.
It's like, good morning. Hello. How are you? Yeah. It'd be great if you could avoid the Yeah.
Could you make this ride a little smoother, please? That'd be nice. Mhmm. I'm trying to sleep here. There was one point where I knew that I had my head tipped back on the seat, and my mouth was open.
And I Yeah. Vaguely was like, I bet you look real pretty right now. I was gonna start throwing fruit snacks in there and start chucking them out. Should've. Snacks.
Snacks and a nap. Yeah. That's all that makes me happy. Snacks and a nap. And no fish.
I I don't know what I'm doing. Sorry about fish. It's frustrating me because I've been on a couple of trips already this year, and, I don't know what I'm doing wrong. I don't know what it is. I don't know either.
I don't know anything about fish. I know they don't want what I got. No. Or they're not where I'm fishing. I don't know what I'm doing because I'm reading the water right.
I'm fishing where I should be. I'm trying different stuff. I just something's not right. Something's not right. I don't know what's going on.
A new fishing pole? It might be that. No. No. It might be the gear.
It might be the gear. It's a good idea. Thank you for bringing that up. Poor Josh. What?
You lost your pillow. Oh, listen to this story. This was Easter weekend. We were staying with your family in Burley, Idaho. I had been camping that Saturday.
It's really Declo. I mean, their address is Burley, but it's get it. It's a Declo situation. But it's but it's it might as well. Doesn't matter.
Whatever. We're not in either city proper. We're out in the fields between the two. Anyway, the the the deal is I've been camping the Saturday before the Friday night, before Easter. And I wanted comfort in my tent, so I took my pillow from home, and I, slept very comfortably.
It was very nice. And then when we got to Burley, I brought my pillow in. I thought, hey. I'm just gonna use my own pillow on the bed. Brought it.
Might as well. It's a nice pillow. It's my pillow. I like it. So I used that Saturday night.
Well, Sunday, we're getting ready to, pack up and leave, to travel home. I have all my stuff piled up on the bed. I've got my backpack and my my duffel bag and my pillow. Everything's right there. And, we load up, we leave, we get home, and I realize that I had left my pillow Oh, no.
In the guest bedroom Oh, no. At your sister's. And you well, you're saying, oh, no. Like, you didn't know that you were involved somehow, someway in me forgetting my pillow. I had everything piled up ready to go.
K. And then I, I asked your sister if she could tell me if my pillow was still sitting on the guest bed. She sent a picture. And in that moment, you went, oh, I did move that pillow off that pile. I did.
Oh. Oh. And that's how I forgot my pillow. Yeah. That's my fault.
So there It's my fault for forgetting my pillow, but, also, I had it all packed in there. On your stuff. I had it in my pile to load out. Yeah. And I didn't think about it because it wasn't in my pile anymore.
You did ask or you did tell my sister that she could use that pillow if she said, ew. Why ew? You said you said if you miss me and wanna smell what my head smells like Right. You can I thought that was a nice pillow? I thought that was a nice thing to offer.
If you're just tired and you need a rest and you're like, hey. Or if you're I'll use Josh's pillow. Miss and Josh. Yeah. It smells like my sleeping bed.
Your head. Uh-huh. It's a clean pillowcase. I had just put it on for the campout. Like, it's nice.
You have clean hair. It's a good pillow. I miss it. I'm a pillow short every night since. And I just keep thinking I'm gonna go to the store and buy a new pillow is what's gonna happen.
Then you're gonna have too many of that pillow when you finally get the other pillow back. Is there such a thing? I guess not. When am I ever gonna get that pillow back? Well, then this is the good pillow that, like I know.
Stays nice and cool. I know. It's it's my expensive nice pillow. It wasn't that expensive. More expensive than a two pack for $10.
Tell you that. Okay. Wait. It's more expensive. I'll tell you that.
Yeah. Tell you what. So, yeah, I just want my pillow. I know you do. But when do you think I might be able to get that back?
When we see them again. So I should go buy a new pillow? Because it's gonna be a minute. It might be a minute. Like, the earliest could be Memorial weekend.
If you wanted, you could use my pillow in the meantime. No. That's your pillow. I'm not gonna make you a pillow short. I don't mind sharing.
It's not a big pillow. No. Stop yourself. We could just share We could both put our heads on that pillow. No.
Romantic. No. Because then there'd be hot air. It can't exist in hot air. Like, sharing a pillow.
Yeah. Right. We'll just face away from each other. Our heads will still be on the pillow, but we'll face away from each other. Aw.
Cute. No. It's not. It's not cute. Can we talk about something weird that I noticed?
Yes. And I don't know what it is about, this. And we were having a conversation with some friends, and and this kind of was an interesting conversation. And I thought, man, like, why do people in in any town, when they go to see a band or they go to see a a comedian or they go to a show, and and someone on stage says the name of the city they're performing in, and they go they go, what's up, Idaho Falls? Right?
And or at any point in time during, a set or a routine or whatever, the name of a city or a nearby landmark gets mentioned, and people, Woo. Like, I know that place. Yeah. That's why they said it. I it's so strange thing to me.
Woo. It's the woo's. Woo. Woo. It feels weird, doesn't it?
Yeah. They said Idaho Falls. Woo. It's that connection factor. Everybody wants to be connected somehow.
Yeah. And so when you're like, oh my gosh. This big time celebrity has said the name of our town. Okay. Woo hoo hoo.
Woo hoo hoo. I mean, you go to concerts. Right? Yeah. And and they go up on stage and go, hey.
You know, you guys are great. Would who would have thought, you know, this little town in Idaho has got such a great crowd. I think you guys are amazing. Yeah. Well, it is.
So funny. It is. And I don't know why the artist has to say it. Are they just reminding themselves where they are because they hit stop after stop after stop? And so they go Or maybe they know that if they say that, they're gonna get a positive reaction.
So And And so they go, what's up, Pocatello? Woo hoo. Woo hoo. Keeps the energy up, I think, maybe. I don't know.
Maybe. There's a lot of woos. And we actually have a friend from England who when he came to America, he was like, Americans love wooing. Woo. It's an easy sound to make.
It's a wuh and then a whole bunch of oohs. Woo hoo. Woo. I don't know. It's a silly thing, but people love it.
Keeps your energy up. It's fun. It's a moment of connectedness. Connectivity? Connectedness.
Okay. Alright. We'll stick with that. Connected it in this. Uh-huh.
Connected it in this. Diggy, Idaho. So the garage is still a mess. Yeah. I said I wasn't gonna do that project.
Did you not believe me? All last week, you're like, I know what we're doing this weekend, and I said, I know what I'm not doing. And you were like, I'll do it myself. And I said, don't touch it, and no one touched it. Well, we kinda got preoccupied all weekend doing other stuff.
Mhmm. Which was fine. Turned into a lovely weekend. But when I opened the door this morning to let the dog out, I went, ugh. We should've cleaned the garage.
No. Should not have. You got to take two naps In one day. I know. Two naps in one day.
Yeah. So, so, you know, it's fine. We didn't clean the garage. We didn't clean the shed. No.
But we we'd went to something called the big event, but we showed up twelve hours early. And, so we missed the actual big event. And then we, went to a show with some friends, and, and then we, called it a night, and then we went and explored. So I'm not mad about how the weekend went No. I'm not either.
In the garage. I'm not either. I just now go, still need to get this done. It'd be nice to check that off my to do list. Mhmm.
Why did you put it on your to do list? Maybe erase it so you don't have to look at it. This is why I don't make to do lists. You're like, isn't it so satisfying to check things off on a list? And I no.
Because there's a list. Don't you have a list in your head now? Oh, maybe I don't know. Go with the flow. Get that Pisces brain going.
I would like to. It's a much better brain. I know. I would like to have your brain. I really would.
You're such an easy breezy, like, yeah, we'll see how it goes kinda guy. I sure wish I could be you. Do you wanna swap? No. No.
I don't, But thank you for asking. Please. Britney, please. I'm good. I know.
You are good. What what is what's your brain? Oh. No. I don't I don't mean what's in there.
We we don't need to rattle that off. What I mean is, like, if I'm an easy breezy go with the flow kind of brain, what's your brain? Ugh, uptight. Uh-huh. A million things to do.
Uh-huh. My kids say I don't listen, and that's true because I'm constantly thinking about things that need to be done all the time. Yeah. And then they'll say, mom, did you hear me? And I'll be like, yeah.
I did. You should talk about some meds or something. Yeah. You gotta quiet that thing down. Yeah.
I do. Yeah. That thing needs to hush. It does. Quiet down.
Yeah. That's that's all brain. Disturbing the fishing area. That crazy brain. Mine all.
It's a crazy brain. And so then I look at the garage, and I go, I feel like the garage like, take a peek at the garage. That's what my brain looks like. All that chaos in the garage? And so if you're in your head, you're thinking if I organize the garage, I'll organize my brain.
One section of my brain will be organized for sure. The garage section. Yeah. But then the yard section will be a mess, and then the bedroom section will be a mess, and then the bathroom section, and then the Right. Painting the basement section.
Like Oh, quit bringing that project up. But it's always there until the project gets done. No. And then it just gets replaced by something else. No.
It doesn't get replaced because all that other stuff is still in there. I know. That's how my brain works, Josh. Yeah. Mine doesn't do that.
No. I know. I'm just here in this thing I'm doing right now, and that's good enough. I'll be here. Are you sure you don't wanna switch?
Yeah. I don't want I don't want that. Please. No. You gotta figure out how to get your brain over here.
I don't wanna figure out how to get your brain over here. That's what I'm saying. I know what you're saying. Put put your brain, you know, aside and then climb over the fence, excuse me, and, and join us on the, easy breezy side. I would like to pool over there.
I know they are. Easy breezy. Yeah. Leave that brain over there. Come on over.
We're having a barbecue. When the garage is clean, I might think about it. No. No. We're having a barbecue.

Well, well, well, would you rather have Thor as your bodyguard Nice. Or Yoda as your therapist? Oh, definitely Thor. Me too. And why?
Oh, no reason. One, I don't really need a bodyguard. Like, I'm not, that high profile of a person, but I think having Thor around might be neat. He's good at gaming. Is he?
Yes. How do you know that? He plays Fortnite. Oh, yeah. He does.
Yeah. But that's The kid is back on Fortnite? That's that's kinda Thor when he's kinda let himself go a little bit. Right. He's not gonna do much protecting at that point.
He still does. Plus, he's a good hang. Yeah. He is a good hang. Right?
Like, hey. What up, dude? So there's that. I think Yoda look. As a therapist, he's just gonna tell me that everything I'm doing is wrong, and he's gonna do it in backward sentences.
Yeah. Just I don't need to hear it, and he's gonna bop me in the head with that cane that he carries around. Exactly. And then he's gonna be like, no. You carry me in your little backpack.
Yeah. Exactly. And then he's gonna sing that rocking, rocking and rolling. You know that video? Yes.
I do. No. I know it well. Thank you. Didn't like it.
All that. Yeah. I don't wanna hang out with Yoda. No. Thank you.
I'd rather hang out with Thor. No. I would hang out with Yoda. I just don't want him to be my therapist. I don't wanna hang out with him either.
You don't? No. I think he'd be cool. Hanging out in the swamp? Just I'll I'll rather hang out with Thor.
In the swamp? Sure. Anywhere. On the beach. Oh, really?
Let me see what's going on here. What? What? I just need protecting Josh. He's just my bodyguard.
Mhmm. You ever see that movie with Whitney Houston? No. Me neither. Does she fall in love with her bodyguard?
No. That doesn't happen. Because I feel like that's where you're trying to get. No. It's where you fall in love with Thor on the beach or wherever.
Yeah. Or in the cabin. Yeah. Alright. Enough.
Would you rather this or that? Here's more Yoda talk. Oh, great. Talk more Yoda, you'd yeah. Hey.
Good. Alright. That's a good lead in. Okay. Do you know why he speaks backward or that way?
Well, that's just his language that he speaks because it's it's a different conjugation. If you were to conjugate, verbs and even in Spanish, sometimes your verbs are backwards like that. But go on. Why? That's not what George Lucas says is why.
Oh, okay. Why does what does George Lucas have to say about it? Say what George Lucas has to say. Just say. What?
Say. Why are you so aggressive? Say. Settle down. Okay.
He said, if you speak regular English, people won't listen that much. If he had an accent listen, they will. If he had an accent Yeah. Where it's really hard to understand what he's saying, then they focus on what you're saying. Right.
So he's basically this is quote a direct quote from George Lucas. He was basically the philosopher of the movie Mhmm. And he needed to figure out a way to get people to actually list listen, especially 12 year olds. I see. So he said, this is a way to get them to listen because We have ones, we call them.
If you spoke regular English, people wouldn't listen. Uh-huh. You are a Star Wars nerd. Geek. I prefer geek.
Oh, sorry. And not not there are more. There are more geeky Star Wars people than myself. I just know a couple of jokes. Which are?
Alderaan places is a great joke. That one's a solid. And? Lukewarm is a great joke. That's the temperature of the inside of a tauntaun.
It it's lukewarm. It's a tauntaun. A wonton? No. Not a wonton.
Nope. A tauntaun. And the inside of a a tauntaun is lukewarm. Because that's where he slept to stay warm. Bingo.
I got it. Right. Hilarious. Yeah. Alright.
There are more. I'm sure. But we'll we'll stop there Okay. And wrap up the show, I think. We've done enough damage for one day.
This is not the damage you're looking for. And that is a good one too. Come on. That's well done. That is well done.
That's a very good, Obi Wan joke. Thank you. That's well done. Tip my head. I will never forget the day I delivered the joke to an audience that wasn't prepared for it.
I had an engineer years ago walk into the room, and he goes, there's the Josh I'm looking for. And I turned my swivel chair around toward him in the studio, and I waved my hand, and I said, this is not the Josh you're looking for. Perfect joke. Perfect delivery. Perfect setup.
Could not have fallen on deaf ears. He stood there in the doorway blinking and then went, okay. And then continued with whatever he needed. And it was the saddest, greatest moment in my lifetime. It was the perfect joke, and no one else heard it, and the guy who did hear it didn't get it.
Sorry. It was glorious tragedy. Oh, what a time. Anyway, we gotta wrap up the show. Have a good day.
