Okay. Chantel, good intentions Tielor strikes again. I think you're, Doing my best. No. I think you're doing your best, but I also think that you are giving yourself too much pressure.
I feel like I also could be doing better. When I say I'm doing my best, I could do better. I'm just saying you you set yourself up way too high expectations for yourself. That's all I'm saying. Okay.
Okay. Our daughter is a single Pringle. That's okay. Just fine. That's just fine.
The fail safe alarm has been shut off. I'm nervous about it. Don't, dude. Don't. No.

Happy Valentine's Day. Valentine's Day. Love you. I love you, Josh. That's the day of love.
Yeah. So, you know, you gotta you gotta spread the love today on Valentine's Day. I didn't get you anything. Oh, well, I got you a great start. I got you fly fishing expo tickets.
I mean Woo. It's free to get in. So You're welcome. Yeah. You're welcome.
Alright. Well, that's my plan today anyway. So I'm gonna be headed over there earlier, or I guess later later today. I was gonna say earlier this afternoon, but it'll be, a little bit later this morning. I'm pretty excited about that.
I got no plans today on my Valentine's Day. No Valentine. You just work. Oh, come on. It's not that bad, is it?
Even asked me to be there, Valentine. Well, I guess it's assumed. Once you're once you're married, I don't think you have to say, hey. Can do you do you need a Valentine? You know what they say about assuming.
Yeah. I know. But my point is Don't assume. You still have to try. You still have to tell your spouse that you love them.
No. I understand. But I'm just saying, like, you don't necessarily have to worry about not having a Valentine. You're you're married to your Valentine. You got a Valentine forever?
Right. Forever. Yeah. Hey. Be careful this morning.
Hey. That's a good tip. It is sketch out there. 511.Idaho.gov. That is the website if you wanna check the road report before you hit the road.
I'm just looking, across East Idaho. So most of the highways, right now, not great. Highway 20, Highway 20 6, I 15. I'm looking at 20 out to the desert and also 26 from Blackfoot to the desert. All of those roads are purple, which means difficult in the scale of roads.
So even here in the city. Yeah. In the city, it's not great. It's not great. At the first stretch of road that we have to go on, I was doing fine.
Yeah. Second stretch, real slippery. Third stretch, not great. Yeah. So take your time.
It's gonna you're probably gonna be late today. You weren't gonna we were late. That's the way it goes sometimes. I mean but I'm here, and I'm alive. That's right.
So tell your bosses that. Yeah. It's it's Would you rather want me here Yeah. On time or here alive? Just get there alive.
Better. Yeah. Get there alive. Take a look at 511.Idaho.gov. They also have an app you can get on your phone.
You can check all the road conditions, before you hit the road. You can find out about closures. You can find out about, the the actual, like, conditions of the road. Are they slick? Are they slushy?
Are they ice? You can also see cameras. Be careful because we do not wanna have what we had happen on I 84 near Boise and Oregon to happen around East Idaho. Let's be very, very careful. If you don't know, there was, like, over a hundred cars crash.
It was wild. So please, please, please be careful. Allow extra time. Go slow. Leave lots of room between you and the people around you.
And, we'll all get through today, fender bender free. Yeah. Stay safe. Happy Valentine's Day. Valentine's Day.
Stay safe. Yeah. Right? And good morning. Thank you.
It's Josh and Chantel. I was not feeling well last night, so off I went to bed at 08:00. Yeah. 08:00? I didn't know what to do with myself.
I was like, well, I'm not ready for bed, so I wandered around the house a bit. How'd you sleep? Do you feel rested? No. I don't.
That's what I was gonna say is I went to bed at 08:00, and I woke up this morning going, oh, I could sleep for longer. How pathetic. No. How much sleep is that? Nine, ten, 11, 12, one, two, three, four, five.
It's like nine and a half hours of sleep. Eight to five? Well, I woke up at 05:30. Let's be real. So we'll give you the half.
It's four plus five. That's nine hours plus your half. Yeah. It's nine and a half. Yeah.
I said that. No. I know. Okay. I just had to do my own calculation.
Because you didn't believe my calculation? It's not that. It sounds like it. I just had to double check. It's the same.
So what time did you end up coming to bed? Okay. So I went to bed at, like, 09:30. I was like, well, there's nothing going on. I'm tired of wandering around.
I sat and looked at my phone. I played my stupid game that everybody hates when I play. And then I was like, I'm just going to bed. So I told everybody good night, shut down the house, went to bed. Got in bed, couldn't fall asleep.
No. Couldn't fall asleep. Had no problem falling asleep. Couldn't fall asleep. Couldn't fall asleep.
All all night. I'm like, this is ridiculous. And then tossed and turned all night. Couldn't get comfortable. Too hot, too cold.
Just a terrible night. I'm sorry. So you really don't feel rested? No. I was freezing.
I wore my coat. That oh, before before Before we went to bed. Yeah. That possible? I wore my coat while we ate dinner because I was so cold.
I'm sweating right now. Didn't have a fever. I am kinda sweating right now too. It's hot. It's pretty toasty in here.
And I haven't taken my coat off yet, so there's that. You were really nice. Put the electric blanket on the bed Yeah. So it'd be warm when I got in there. The problem was that I had took a really hot bath before I got into bed, so I was toasty.
And I said, I don't want that. Now I'm too hot. It's too hot. And then at one point in the night, that electric blanket made its way over to my side of the bed, and I went, oh, I don't want that. It's too hot.
Oh. Oh, oh. Well, it was the trick to warm up the bed, and now it's too warm. No. It was you put it on full blast.
No. I didn't, actually. You said at one point, you thought it was gonna burn the house down. I, in the middle of the night, put my feet where it was, down at the at the foot of the bed, and it was like fire down there. It was?
And I went, oh, no. Like, I better turn that off. So, frantically, I made sure it was all turned off and everything, and it was, but it was hot. I know. And that wasn't a full blast?
No. That thing can get Toasty. Piping hot, man. Yeah. Maybe let's just keep it on mid.
I had it on I think it goes to nine, and I think I had it on six. So I had it on what's that? Two thirds. Holy moly. Can you imagine it on nine?
Well, yeah. Don't put it on nine. I'm not going to. That's too much. Well It's gonna burn your skin off.
Wild. Hot blanket. Hot hot blanket. Hot hot hot hot blanket. How about some good news How about it?
For your Valentine's Day? Because good news is good any day, but it's, you know, it's nice to have good news today. Yeah. It is. There is a skateboarding Cocker Spaniel named Koda, who's owned by a Japanese dog trainer who recently broke a Guinness world record because I can't get one, but a skateboarding Cocker Spaniel can.
Well, listen. It's unusual, isn't it? You gotta do something unusual. I guess so. Pretty usual.
Hey. I mean that in the best way, dear. I love you so much. I'm pretty usual? I just mean you're not doing anything extraordinary.
On the set of the Italian TV show, Lo Show de Record, Koda rode a skateboard through a human tunnel made up of 40 people standing with their legs apart. Do that. The surpassed the previous record of 33 people set back in 2017. Okay. The trainer who uses positive reinforcement text techniques in her training said, with praising and teaching, he learned everything.
It's almost like that's true of everyone Yeah. Even humans. A little praising and teaching, and people will learn all kinds of things. Exactly. Koda's skateboarding skills and record breaking adventure not only earned him a spot in the record books, but also has helped his trainer spread her message about the power of positive reinforcement in training Yes.
And discouraging dog owners from punishment and other forms of negative reinforcement. Almost like that's true of humans. Positive reinforcement instead of punishment. Feel like that's true of everyone. It does it does apply to other aspects.
You are correct. So congratulations Dakota, Guinness world record, skateboarding, cocker spaniel. Here you go, Josh. Let's find a skateboard. I'm not a dog.
World record for you. No. But there are probably world record skateboarders for humans. You think? Yeah.
We gotta find you one. Alright. What can we do? I don't know. We're gonna get you that world record.
One of these days. That's good news to get you going. I often say that my my middle name is danger. Which it is not. Sometimes it is.
But my real name, my real real middle name is good intentions. We've talked about this a bunch. Yeah. Do you feel like you have all of these great ideas, but then when it comes to execution, sometimes, you do very well and feel like you've fallen flat. So what happened?
Okay. Well, today is Valentine's Day, and I like to celebrate the people in my life that I love. Mhmm. And I had all these great ideas to do the good Valentine's, and I was gonna go to the store last night. Yeah.
And one and in the past, you've done, like, the little box of chocolates or whatever. And I've, like, made some games, and we could play some games. And we have older kids, but that's fine because older kids still like to have fun too. Right. And kids like to be appreciated no matter what.
Anybody likes to feel appreciated and loved. So I try to tell my family that I love them. So yesterday, I needed to go to the store to get some supplies. It was really cold yesterday, and I was not feeling well yesterday. And like I said earlier, I went to bed at 08:00.
Right. I ate dinner in my coat. I took a warm bath, and I went to bed because I was not feeling top notch. Right. So now I'm feeling like a schlub.
Because because you didn't deliver what you thought you might have? Yes. I see. I'm still trying to make it I don't think anyone had any super big expectations. That's the thing.
You guys don't know what I had planned, so it's not like you're disappointed. So you're disappointed in yourself, and that's why you call yourself good intentions. Yeah. I had every intention to do really cool things for you guys, but I didn't have the what? I I don't know what I didn't have.
I didn't have the wherewithal to go to the store. That's what I The motivation, any of that stuff. Wasn't the yeah. I guess it was the motivation because my body was like, no. You gotta go to bed, bro.
Yeah. And I went, yeah. You're right. I should probably go to bed. Right.
I don't feel good. Yeah. No. You weren't going out. That wasn't happening.
That was not in the cards before you even started the day. You were you were you knew yesterday morning sitting here, you weren't going to the store after work. Yes. I did. Nah.
Yes. I did. Nah. You weren't feeling great. I had every intention to when I was at my afternoon job.
Good intentions. Right. But then by the time you got home, you were like, nah. What I should have done, and this is what I was gonna do, it's that going home. Once I get home, it's like, no.
I'm not going back out. What I'm saying. So I should have gone to the store directly after work, and I was gonna do that. And I there's a decision that I have to make when I get to a certain fork in the road. And I go, I either turn right or I go straight.
And I went, turn right. Turned right, and you went home. Because it was cold. See? And my head had been home all day.
Right. And I didn't feel good. Right. It's I get it. And look at you still now right now, having having the issues.
I know. So it's good that you didn't go to the store because you needed the time. But now I feel bad because my family is like, oh, mom doesn't love us. Yeah. We're all we all got together and had a meeting, right when you went to bed, and we said if she doesn't do something big for Valentine's Day tomorrow, we revolt.
There's gonna be one person in our house who will be sad that she doesn't have anything to wake up to. The rest of yous don't care. But the one person in our house that's gonna be sad is the girl one. You think so? Yes.
You think she has some sort of expectation? I don't think she has an expectation, but I think she's gotten used to waking up to a Valentine for fifteen years. I don't know. We'll see. I do have because I know it's gonna be her that's gonna be the most upset.
The only one that's gonna be not upset because she'll say it's fine, and it doesn't matter because she's a nice person and she's a people pleaser. But I do have plans. I have plans to pick up a charcuterie board today. And I have some evening plans to do with her. You and I are going to a thing.
But after that or before that, I've got plans to hang out with her. Well, there you go. So there you go. Do it. I will do it.
You'll be fine. It'll be fine. Yeah. It's gonna be fine. Don't overthink it.
Chantel good intentions. You're gonna be fine. Our daughter just texted me. Well, I texted her this morning and said, good morning. Happy Valentine's Day.
And she said, I forgot about Valentine's Day. She forgot today was Valentine's Day? I don't think she did. Well okay. And then she said, just a single Pringle.
It's fine. Which is what she calls herself. It is fine. Just fine. Guess what?
She's 15. That's what I'm saying. But even if you were 17 Focus on your school. Okay to be a single Pringle. Even if you're 32, it's okay to be a single Pringle.
Eighty six. I don't care how young or old. Single Pringle. Just fine. You do you, boo.
Mhmm. Is that a thing? That's what people say. I don't think I think that's what you say. No.
I think that's what cool kids say. I think that's what you say. And since I am a cool kid Okay. She did ask us yesterday, our 15 year old daughter. Yeah.
Hey. What did she say? When is it okay for me to hang out with guys? That was the question. Yeah.
That was the question. And I liked your answer because I didn't know the right answer, and I was trying to to sort of feel that out. Because we've we've said, look. Dating, it feels like 16 is appropriate to to go on dates. And so we've kind of held that standard to both of our kids, and and that seems to just be fine.
She's clearly, like, seeing people at school in relationships. Fair off. And and not everybody has the same set of boundaries. So that's up to your family and you as a parent and whatever. So, that's just what we've said.
And so you said kind of one on one, like, in a dating aspect, 16. If it's a group, depends on the Depends on what the answer is. Answer how many people are gonna be enrolled. Like, that's a case by case basis. Right.
And I think that's a fine answer. I don't think that was the answer she wanted to hear. I don't think so either. She just said, okay. That's all she said.
Okay. But she's gonna be 16 in September. She feels like that's a lifetime away. I'm sure she does. But it's not.
No. It's not. I don't know. And I there's it's just different when it's a boy and Well, I understand that. And when you have a girl.
I don't know. But we had the same expectation for our son. Did, but it feels different somehow. I don't know. I can't explain it.
I can't put it into words, but I I'm not ready. No. Not ready for our daughter to serve today. Hit the brakes on that. I know.
That's where I'm at too. I'm not, I'm not in that, like She did. Jump in that pool. She did have to get dressed up yesterday. She had a presentation at school, and she said there was a boy that told her she was she was like, hey.
You're pretty in the halls. And she said, I didn't know what to do with that, so I just kept walking. See, it's gonna be fine. It's gonna be weird. No worries.
It's all good. I have three alarms in the morning. I have two. One at five, one at 05:15, and one at 05:30. My 05:31 is my last ditch effort.
Like, girl, you better get out of bed. Right. I have a fail safe alarm that's slightly later than that. Yeah. You do.
Did you get up at fail safe? I have been getting up at fail safe all week because I know that it happens. And I go, oh, I can just sleep until the fail safe. We should make the fail safe earlier. Yeah.
Uh-huh. I was that's why I'm bringing it up now because Yeah. The fact that you have that late alarm It's enabling? It's yes. Absolutely.
It's at 05:40. I know. And it is That's not fail safe alarm. It's not good for either one of us. No way.
That's the you better be moving alarm. You better already be out the door Yeah. Alarm is what that one is. And that's what time we've been waking up. I know.
It's not good. No. It isn't good. It's not healthy. Oh, I know.
Especially on snowy days when you're like, there's not a lot of time. Yep. So you probably should get rid of that alarm. Yeah. You should make your fail safe at 05:30.
I should. What time is your first alarm? 05:30. I never even hear that one. Because it goes off at the same time as yours.
That it's that's a this whole room needs to be awake, two alarms going off at once, and then there's that fail safe. No. Just in case. Get rid of that fail safe. What if we don't have it, though?
Here's what I'm Josh, please. Please. You know that I'm always up and going. I know. I'm your fail safe.
That's true. Let's look at it. You haven't always had that, though. That's only been in the last couple of weeks that you've even turned that on. That's true.
Last week when you had that on, I was like, I don't know why that might be normally have a 05:15, five thirty. That's my usual setup. And I've turned off the fifteen, and I only have the 30 in the fail safe. Don't get rid of that fail safe. I'm gonna do it.
I'm gonna turn the 15 back on and the fail safe off. K. This is risky. No. It isn't because guess what?
Risky. Have I always been responsible to get up? I mean, yeah. Yes. Have you?
Yeah. No. Yeah. Oh, yeah. Oh, yeah.
If I'm around, yes. You had you turned that fail safe on last week, and I it just kept going. I don't know why he has that. I don't know why he has that. K.
And then this week, I go, he's got that fail safe. Well, it's all now. I I could probably just wake up at that fail safe. The fail safe has been turned off. That's fine.
Fifteen's back on. Great. I don't think you need to get up at 05:15. I should probably wake up at 05:15 just because I have more Right. To do to get me about five minutes to get out the door.
Yeah. It's a little more fun. Doesn't because I'm always in the car waiting. And I go, what is taking him so long? I get up.
I wash my face. I know. I brush my teeth. I get dressed. I pack my lunch.
Sometimes I let the dog out. I get up. I get dressed. I brush my teeth. I grab my back my backpack.
If I grab a lunch or whatever, I'm out the door. Yeah. I know. I still don't know why it takes you so long. It takes you so long.
I don't think it takes that long. I'm always waiting for you. I think you just don't like waiting. I don't like waiting. You're right.
It's more it it's the same amount of time. It's fast. It's just that you're waiting. But I always go, I guess I'll go start the cars. Which there are some days I'm up and moving quicker, and then I go do that.
It's rare. These days because the fail safe. But the fail safe is off. K. Alright.
I'm gonna be fine. You will not be, but I will be. I'm not gonna be fine. I you will be fine because I'll be the one getting you out of bed. That's true.
You'll be you'll go, hey. Your fail safe. Fail safe here. Let me get a oh, no. I don't wanna go to school.
No. It's Right? Stinks. I hate it. Yeah.
But hey. We'll see what happens Monday because the alarms have been changed. It's gonna be fine. We're gonna make it here on time because that fail safe is off, and I'll know that 05:30 is the fail safe. K.
Here we go. We'll find out. We will find out. On Monday morning. Responsible.
I know you are, and I appreciate that you keep me in check. That's good stuff. So thanks. You're welcome. I have a coworker who is she's young, twenties, mid twenties, and she, oh, go.
I can't I don't even know how long she's been married. But she said, I'm not very long, maybe five years at most, maybe five, six years. And she says, I think I'm out of the honeymoon stage because my husband's gonna be out of town, and I'm really excited about it. So that's not the end of the honeymoon stage by any means. That's what I told her.
That's not what that means. No. That just means that you are now in a position where you're comfortable enough to just exist on your own, in your own space that you've created together. There's that's not a end of a honeymoon phase. What I told her.
She said, I'm just so excited because I'm gonna just be able to read and do whatever I want without having to worry about anybody else. She's like, I don't have to worry about cooking dinner for anybody else. I said, girl, I know. I said, I love Josh more than anything in the world. He's the only one I wanna spend my time with.
But when he's out of town and I get the whole bed to myself, it's hell. Rude. No. But then I go, oh, it's so cold. Yeah.
You need to come warm the bed. You get for being rude. You get cold bed. No. I think that's part of a healthy relationship is No.
Being comfortable and confident enough to be on your own in in the, excuse me, the space that you've created with your partner. That's a that's a big deal. What do you like to do when I'm out of town, when I'm not around? What do you like to do? None of your business.
Okay. No. I'm just kidding. That's fine because that's your time. No.
Really, it, it's it's a it's a weird thing when the house is all quiet. I will say that. Like, I prefer to have people around most of the time, but I don't know. I watch the shows that I know you don't care to watch. Exactly.
And so I can I can watch, you know, whatever, or I can just I just do my own thing? I do my do my fly time. I play my video games. Exactly. I just do whatever I want.
It's kinda nice, isn't it? It's freeing. And then it's nice when your people come back and you're like, hi. I missed you. Yeah.
Welcome to life again. Where you been? I had the night alone where I got to eat pancakes and eggs because I know you hate breakfast for dinner. Dinner. No.
That's not a thing. We always do that when you're out of town. I know. Or sandwiches. You'll do sandwiches for dinner sometimes.
I don't. I do sandwiches for dinner. You you and Emery always go to the same place. Oh, that's sandwiches for dinner. Yeah.
That's our thing. I know. Or a bowl of cold cereal. I'm happy doing that too. Because you're 12.
But you wouldn't ever be happy with that. So when you're out of town, I'm like, this is the time I get to do what Josh doesn't like to do. That's right. So it's nice. Yeah.
You just get to do the things you want. That's the whole point. So she shouldn't feel like I don't her relationship is struggling because she is excited to have some time alone. I don't think she thinks that. I think she was just feeling, like, a little bit of guilt being excited that she was gonna be home alone.
Yeah. I get that. But also excitement because she knew that she just got to read the whole time. So she was pretty stoked about that. Well, good for her.
I know. I was like what she's gonna spend it doing, just reading. Yeah. Okay. Because that's what she wants to do.
Do what you wanna do. You do you, boo. You do you. Boo. Boo.
Okay. Josh, we're gonna play Valentine's Day Family Feud. Valentine's Day Family Feud. This is where you're gonna have categories. You're gonna say, some people are surveyed in these categories, and I have to guess the top answers.
Correct. You got it. Perfect. I know how the feud works. Yes.
You do. Okay. Let's go. Let's start out with a popular romantic comedy. Name a popular romantic comedy.

She's All That was the movie where the girl was a weird artist. And then Freddie Prinze Junior had it bent. Oh, he was gonna make her he's doing the makeover thing and took off her glasses, and that was it. Wow. Woah.
You're beautiful. That's hilarious. Because I know one of those spoof movies did a similar scene, and they took the glasses off. And she went, like, cross eyed, and then they put them back on, and they were like, never mind. So that's kinda funny.
Out of her weird art clothes and took off her glasses, and they were like, you are gorgeous. I'm gonna take away everything that makes you you. Yeah. Stupid. What a dumb movie.
That's a whole category of them. They're called romantic comedies. My favorite part of last night was when I said to you, hey. Did you put gas in your car? And I said?

In Denmark, people send anonymous joke letters, with paper cutouts, a short poem or a message. And, the the joke letters are called snow drop letters. That's what it translates to. I don't know how to say it in, in their language. Give it a try.
Just give it a just give it a go. Gochebriev. Something like that. That's right. It's probably not.
But then you have to guess the identity of the sender. And if you do guess the right person, then you owe them an egg at Easter. It works in reverse too. If you guess incorrectly, then you have to give the sender an egg. Egg is a hot commodity these days.
So giving anybody a egg I don't know what it's like in Denmark, but sure. In Japan, women give gifts of chocolates to their husbands and boyfriends. Men do not give gifts until March 14 Why? Which is called white day because Valentine's Day or the or the, February 14 is when the women gift the men, and then March 14, the men gift the women. Interesting.
