Happy Presidents' Day, Chantel. Hey. Happy Presidents' Day. Hey. Well, I'm just sad that we had to work.
Well, you know, that's the way it goes sometimes. Mhmm. You have a half day. Like, as soon as we finish recording this, then you leave, and then I build the whole podcast, and I got a whole day's work ahead of me. And you just get to go and gallivant around town.
You bet that's what I'm gonna do. Probably. How dare you? No. I know.
You got you gotta run our daughter around. You got errands to do. Yeah. Appointments to go to sleep. You're cleaning the fridge?
Yeah. We'll throw away all the good stuff. I won't. You probably will. And then I'll go, where'd all that go?
And you'll go, I threw it away. Okay. Happy Presidents' Day. Hey. Today on the show, Josh is catching my sickness.
Yeah. I don't want it. I'm I actually feel pretty okay right now. I didn't yesterday feel great. I didn't feel great last night and this morning, but I'm doing okay right now.
It was a rough weekend for me. Day one without the fail safe alarm. It didn't go well. Sure didn't. They really might be making a new Goonies movie.
They need to not do that. They really are doing it. Don't do it. Don't. The fly tying expo kept Josh busy this weekend.
It did. I took a half day Friday. You get a half day today. There we go. Now we're I got to go do the fly tying thing while you worked.
Now I'm gonna work while you do Housework. Errands and clean the fridge. Wow. Safeties. Same.
Same. We had homemade peach scones. Yes. Delicious. Mhmm.
My playlist is a hit with some cool dudes. Cool dudes. Yeah. Cool dudes like your music. The Backstreet Boys shouldn't be back.
Well, I mean, maybe it's time to call it. It might be. It might be time to call it, boys. I had to submit an ASL video for my class. And you did it how many times?
15. 15. That's too many. Only 15. That's too many.
Only 15. Only 15. Yikes. Josh wants to know why there are peas in his food. I don't like peas.
I don't want them in my food, especially in the food they don't belong in. That's peas. You can't use it. No. Thanks.
Packages are in the mail. Yes. And they should be arriving soon. You want me to check third time today? God.
Go check as many times as you want. Don't tell me. That's the problem. I'll be sure to tell you. To know.
I'll give you updates. And put those pig teeth in your mouth. Put put the pig teeth in your mouth, Chantel. Put them in there. We are Josh and Chantel.
This is wake up classy 97, the podcast, and here is today's show. Well, hi. Good morning. Well, hey. Good thing you've been dealing with?
What thing? The throat thing? For the past couple of days has been trying to infiltrate my throat and lungs. Sorry. It's not fun.
No. I know. I've been dealing with it for since Thursday. Yeah. So I finally feel today is the first day I finally feel like my head isn't full of rocks and somebody's banging on it.
That sounds great. I'm so excited to have that to look forward to. Pretty awful. I don't have the sore throat currently. What do you have?
This sort of like it lives here. This is in your chest? Well, look. Right in the upper respiratory. It's very, very small.
I didn't have that. Mine was all throat and head. Cool. Uh-huh. Cool.
Cool. Sorry. Sorry, dear. I can feel it in my sinuses, though. I can tell.
You know? I can I'm breathing a lot through my mouth, which I don't care for. So whoever, decided that this was gonna be a thing, I don't like it. I'm at that stage where my throat feels ticklish. So it's just itching.
So it's healing essentially is what I imagine. Sure. And then it just itches. But how do you itch your throat? All day.
You gotta do that. And people love hanging out with you when you're doing that all day. Especially when you do it on the radio. Oh, yeah. Into a microphone.
I think everybody loves that. No. No. It's not a good it's not a good look. Not a good look.
But we're here, and we're excited to be back. And it's Monday, and it's president's day. And President's day. You got kind of a half day because your other job is off. So No.
I've been this job this time. This is off. I had a half day Friday. You get one today. How come we don't get off of this day?
Does this place hate presidents? No. I think it does. No? I'm gonna pick it.
You're you're gonna pick it? You're gonna go stand outside and say, president's day off? Yeah. Well, it's a waste of your half day. True.
I mean, you're gonna be here for the show, and then you're gonna go stand outside? No. You're right. Weird, like, freezing rain thing it's trying to do? I'll just send an email.
Oh, okay. Good. Hey. What do we have to do to make this day a day off? And then they're gonna say, well, you give up a different day.
Lame. Yeah. Just give me a day off. Alright. Well, happy Presidents' Day.
Good morning. It's Josh and Chantel. We talked last week about your fail safe alarm Yeah. Which was the alarm 05:40, which was the last ditch effort to get out of bed. Yeah.
That's like if if you hear that alarm, you're you're too late. You're already late. Yeah. I turned it off because you said that's not helping. No.
We were relying on that too much. That was becoming our main alarm, and that was not great. So you turned it off. And even last night, I said, okay. I have to remember that that's not on Right.
So that I can't lean on that. Correct. 05:30 is our fail safe alarm. Yeah. 05:30 went off this morning, and I said, oh, this is my last ditch.
You gotta get out of bed. How'd it go? Because I think I woke up after that. Oh, you woke up way after that. Yeah.
I woke up at 05:40 Uh-huh. On my own. Well, that's good. Yeah. And then, yeah, I was after that.
It was it's a scramble this morning. It's it's it was a it was a rush out the door situation. I shook you at, I think, 05:50. That's not it. That's not it.
That's not good. I said, oh. I was putting shoes on in the dark. It was a whole thing. But here we are.
Here we are. We're here, and the fail safe alarm is absolutely gone to be sure. Yeah? I'm glad that my body was still, hey. 05:40.
Feel safe. Yeah. You better get up. Because I coulda kept sleeping. Oh, me too.
Yeah. It was, it was not a restful night. Agreed. So, yeah, it would have been nice to to continue to to slumber away. Especially since it was cold outside.
Yeah. That's all. That I I I don't even I'm not even aware. I just know that I'm comfortable and I'm sleeping. Yeah.
And and to the weekend's credit, I was up at, like, seven forty five every day, Saturday and Sunday. And so that would have been nice. I would have preferred that to five whatever. Yeah. I know.
To 05:40? Yeah. 05:45. I would've I would've liked the other two hours that I had on Saturday and Sunday. Here's the thing.
You've been doing the morning show here for three years, three and a half years? Sure. I've been doing it for about two. Yeah. A little over two.
It doesn't ever get any easy. No. It doesn't. And and I've known guys that have done morning radio for years and years and years. A guy that I worked with for for a long time, who goes into the radio station at four in the morning.
Why? That's when he has because they the it's a big syndicated show that goes all over the country. And So that's two to originate that show, starting at 5AM. That show goes on air at five so that it can reach other time zones and and whatever. Bleh.
So, yeah, bleh. Because then you have to show up at 03:30 or four to get ready for the show to go live at five and, yeah, prep and do whatever and get get awake and all the things that we just do in real time. They they do, an hour ahead of the show, which I think is interesting. But then I I, like, I know that guy, and I I've talked to that guy. I've driven that guy around, and I'm asking him, like, how do you do that?
Like, when do you sleep? And then, you know, when do you also consume all of the stuff that you talk about? When do you when do you watch all the shows? When do you watch all the movies? When do you have a family life?
Like, how do you do that and not go to bed at 07:00 at night? Because I know you're up late. But what did he say? Naps. Naps.
Midday naps. How many? Two. I need some midday midday naps. Uh-huh.
Midday naps. Need one right now. I could use one right now. So midday naps was his secret to being able to wake up that early and still be able to have a life and and go to bed at 10:00 or whatever. Long are his naps?
One hour. So he's got, essentially, a two hour nap. Spread out throughout the day. I feel like a one hour nap. I I wouldn't feel rested after it.
I don't know. I'd feel But if you became attuned to it I feel like I would be why am I not attuned to waking up at five every day? Because because the bedtime's too late. You're not getting enough accumulative rest so that it it can build up. So if if you were thinking about it that way.
Right? Because we're getting, six hours, something like that Uh-huh. By the time we fall asleep. Uh-huh. You gotta get those other two hours somewhere else in the day.
So that's what he's doing. He's taking these one hour naps so that he can accumulate eight hours of sleep. I don't think that's how it works. But, hey, I'm willing to give it a try. Me too.
I'm willing to take a one hour nap here and there. Send me up. Yeah. How about now? Let's do it.
The city of Golden, Colorado recently hosted an annual Goldens in Golden Festival. Oh, okay. They welcomed hundreds of golden retrievers and their humans Oh. To Golden, Colorado. Aw.
It started in 2019, with the aim to attract visitors during the slower winter months and also to celebrate national golden retriever day. The festival has a campfire, cocktail bar, breakfast burritos, photo opportunities all over the place for people and their, awesome golden retrievers to celebrate and party. The event is a lot of fun for everybody involved. It also helps boost profits for small businesses in the area and even results in money being donated to local animal shelters, which is pretty great. Proceeds from merchandise sales benefit.
The Golden Retriever Rescue of the Rockies and Foothills Animal Shelter. That's a name. Golden Retriever Rescue of the Rockies and Foothills Animal Shelter. You did it. You did it twice.
Good job. Boy. Have you ever seen a bunch of golden retrievers together? I have not. What do they do?
Goofy. Oh, they're goofy. Are they just so excited to see each other? They're just they're something else. They're like orange cats.
What do you mean by that? Have you seen orange cats? They're something else. Just orange cats in general. What do orange cats do?
Well Are they the laziest thing they do? It, they have one brain cell, and it just does whatever it does. That's the rumor. The Internet loves them. So The golden retrievers are really smart, so I think they're just excited to see each other.
Yeah. But they're also floppy. Yeah. Because they're so excited to see each other. I'm looking at the picture.
There's a lot of people and a lot of goldens. A lot. I'm talking hundreds and hundreds and hundreds. We should go to the Golden Retriever Festival. What is it called?
Oh, I'm I've only read it twice. No. We should go to that thing and take our terrier. No. The Goldens wouldn't know what to do with the Jack Russell in town.
There is there is a lot of, dogs dressed up. This one's wearing a bandana, which is pretty standard. This one here is wearing yellow rain boots Uh-huh. A yellow vest, and a very, very handsome scarf along with, like, an Elmer Fudd looking hat. They're crazy.
Mom, why'd you make me wear my rain boots? Now I'm gonna look stupid in front of all my new friends. He does kinda look goofy. Yeah. Yeah.
Anyway, it's good news to get you going. We were teased with this last year. There were some false rumors of a Goonies sequel, which turned out to be false. Tell me they're not doing it. They are.
Why? Because don't We don't never say time. Okay. Fine. But we don't need it.
It's Maybe we do. No. We don't. They have run out of ideas, and so the new thing they just wanna do is remake everything that's already been made. I don't know who is going to be directing it, but Steven Spielberg and Christopher not Christopher.
Just Chris Columbus are on board as producers. Don't. And the reason that I say don't is because we can get away with a new adventure. We don't need Right. We don't need another Goonies.
We need somebody to do something new. Make your adventure movie. Call it something else. Get out of the folklore of Goonies and do something original on your own. Because guess who's buying movie?
Like, it's our generation No. I understand that. Movies. But I don't want another Goonies. Either.
I want something new. If they're gonna bring everybody back. So are they bringing back Josh Brolin, or are they bringing back Martha Plimpton? Probably as many as they can, and that's and then you just have this cameo filled thing. Right.
That isn't that good. Play on the old jokes. Right. You don't have any new jokes. Right.
Just do something new. Well, they're not. They're doing something old. But why? I don't know, Josh.
I I don't have any control of that. All these other ideas. They could go out, and they could they could take whatever adventure they wanna do, and they could do it, bring out new people, bring out new child actors, make a new cult classic. Don't They could pay new people, or they could pay the old people. Man, that's all I know.
It's pretty early on. No director. No plot details. I just don't want it. Then don't watch it.
I probably might not because I don't want to. Like, I just don't. It's not for me. We know. We've heard.
For me. I'd rather, watch a new idea. So give me a new idea. Give me something else. Go You write something.
Pitch me a new idea. I don't wanna do it. I just want somebody else to do something new and not reinvent something that was great once. Do something new. It's it's Goonies two, but this time, we're on the other side of the country.
We're in May. What they're doing. No. Why? I don't know.
Contact Steven Spielberg. I know your thoughts and feelings. Please don't. Please don't. He'll say, nah, man.
Take the idea you have. Money to be had. Yeah. Take the idea you have and do it somewhere else with a new cast and call it something else. Don't make it don't even relate the two.
You know what I'm saying? Yeah. I'll call them. No. You won't.
You won't. I'll send an email. That won't work either. But all I can do is just avoid it if and or when it happens. So I'll just do that.
Okay. I'm I'm a grump about it. Yeah. I can tell. Jeez Louise.
Just leave it alone. That's all. Leave it alone. It's good. Don't touch it.
Let's talk about what you did this weekend and how I've never seen you move so quickly than when you want to get to the fly fishing expo. Yeah. Fly tying expo was in town. I, took a half day on Friday so that I could attend a workshop. Did that.
Met up with my cousin, and he and I, did a bunch of fly tying and skill building and learned a bunch of stuff. Wandered the floor, entered to win some stuff, accidentally won a silent auction. Accidentally. Well, I put my name down to, to win a box of flies and and a thing anyway. And there were still fifteen or twenty minutes left before the auction ended, and so I was like, yeah.
If I win it, that'd be neat. But I'll put a number that's, you know, low, and we'll just see what happens. And then I won it. But then created a whole issue because I'd left my wallet, and I was thinking, oh, I've got my watch, and I've got my phone. I'll just tap to pay.
It'll be fine. They weren't set up for that. And so then I had to call you, and you were napping, and I had to get a credit card number from you. It was a whole thing. It was a whole thing.
It was a whole thing. But it was a good time. I got to I got to watch different people tie. I got to hear different stories. It it is such an interesting community, because there are people, like, one of the guys that I was watching, Ty, was from Pocatello.
He had been in Washington for a handful of years, but was originally from East Idaho and had moved back over the past couple years. But he hadn't been tying because in Washington, he wasn't fishing a bunch because he just it wasn't his style of fishing. And so he kinda got out of practice, and then he, was asked to come tie. And he was like, I better hone my skills. And so he was, he was kind of learning a bunch and re reteaching himself.
And so it was kinda cool to to talk to him about kinda his stories and where he'd been and and, where he fishes. And I think that's that's probably, the biggest benefit of it is you get to sort of network and mingle and hang out with other fisher people, and, and I think that's cool. There were lady tires, quite a few of them. They were fun to watch because they they have, just I mean, it's the same thing. It's the same art.
It's the same process, but a different finesse and a different style, and that's a different eye for it, which I think was really cool. Lots of gear that I couldn't afford. And, as always is the case. And, and then, you know, made me want a boat real bad as always happens. I go and I see it, and I go, man, a boat.
Think about it. A boat, then you can't fish if you're steering. So you gotta go to the boat. Drive the boat. That is true.
If you have a boat, you do have to drive the boat. But if you get, well practiced rowers and you're on easy water, you can you can trade off. You can have somebody row while you fish. The other thing, about having a boat is that you can access different water. You can go to different different parts of the river, that you can't necessarily wade to because it's too deep to get to those benches or whatever, some of those islands.
Where to put a boat? Oh, I would find a place to put a boat. I'm not worried about that. I can't I can't buy a boat. I don't and and it's a drift boat too.
It's not even a motorboat. Right. It's just a boat that floats. It's just a place to sit while you're fishing. Yeah.
How fun is that for me? I want a boat I can So fun. No. I want a boat I can tube behind. That is not this boat.
I mean, you could. You could tie a tube back there. Just watch out for my line as I'm casting. You're floating in your tube. Listen.
I'm not sure. Went with you to the film festival that they have. Right. And I went with you last year, and I quite enjoyed it last year. I didn't enjoy the films this year.
Because of the films? Yeah. They were kinda boring. Alright. Also, the chairs are not comfortable.
Alright. Now historically, the film festival portion, I believe, was held at at a theater. It was held, in in a more comfy Yeah. Setting. I think so.
I wonder I wonder why they don't do that part again. I'm not sure. Yeah. But what I do know is that last year when we saw the film festival, you could rate the movies In in a scale. Yeah.
Okay? Let's see. You could vote on your best and your least favorite. And I don't know if they get a prize I don't know. Because they're all, like, local independent filmmakers.
Right? Local by any means. Well, they're all local. But they are They're Independent filmmakers. Film festival.
Yeah. These are all fishing films. Yeah. So when I was rating them last year, I didn't realize that you could put them in order. And so this year, I was ready, and I was making notes of what my favorite one was and what my least favorite one was.
Uh-huh. And then I went to vote. You can only vote for your favorite. So all of that note taking was for nothing. Which one was your favorite?
It was called Native Range. Is that the, Utah cut slam one? Yes. That one was very good. That one was a good one.
Was a lot of fun. I actually ran into a buddy of mine who, is in Utah, and he said he would be willing to take me to do the cut slam in Utah, which I think is fantastic Great. Because I would love to go do that. Go do it. He said, he would also bring his boat up and take you and I fishing.
Great. So you can fish from a boat and see what that's all about. And then you can say, you're right. We do need one of these. So excited.
Yeah. That's the real the real fun. The real plot here is for him to say, look. Now you need to get one of these. And then you go, yeah.
Yeah. Yeah. We do. Let's buy a boat. See?
My favorite part of this whole weekend was your homemade scones. Okay. So it took a lot longer than I expected. Everybody was like, oh, we're hungry. Let's make some breakfast Saturday morning.
And so I was, thinking to myself, you know, I wanna make something that isn't just the same thing we always have. I wanna make something a little bit different. And, just looked at the ingredients that we had in the fridge, and I said, I could easily make, like, an egg scramble thing. I could throw that together. That would be easy peasy.
No big deal. So I had already figured out egg scramble, and and just with, you know, some cut up, pieces of ham and some cheese in there. That was gonna be easy, but I was like, what do I want with it? Because that's gonna take two minutes to make. That's easy to make.
No big deal. What what can I have that's unique and different? So I I really, for the past, I don't know, three or four weeks probably, have been on this, like, I wanna make some scones from scratch. And so, I bought blueberries. I had all this stuff around.
Some of the blueberries went bad before you could make blueberry scones. And I was just gonna get a little pack of blueberries, and I was gonna make the scones. And you're like, no. No. I want blueberries too because I'm eating them in yogurt and whatever.
And so you got a bigger pack of them, And then I forgot, and then half of them went bad, and we threw them away. That was weeks and weeks and weeks ago. So, on Saturday, I'm like, well, I wanna make some scones. What kind of fruit do I have? Well, the only fruit in the fridge is, is these little cups of peaches.
That's what you use? They're all diced up. Yes. I thought you used like a can. No.
Saved me from having to dice all the peaches. It was just little peach cups that you put in, like, a lunchbox. And so, I said, well, I need a cup of those, so I'll use two of those, and I'll look at, you know, all the other stuff. I kinda cleaned out our baking cupboard at the same time and got rid of some old stuff that we hadn't used forever. And, and that was kind of the whole, I don't know, two hour process.
It was long. It took a long time to make to make them, but then you have to let them chill for thirty minutes because the butter has to solidify in there a little bit to help them bake better. Anyway, it was a whole thing. And, and then, they had the wait, though. They had a really nice glaze on them.
They were delicious. And then, our son decided he didn't even wanna eat his. He put it in a bag and put it in the fridge. And I went, wait. What?
And he was like, I didn't wanna try it. It it was too What are you He said he didn't want anything sweet. And I went, it wasn't that sweet. Sweet. It's it's just like a like a bread.
It's Mhmm. It was a peach bread. I didn't want anything sweet. Okay. It I thought it was delicious.
I really enjoyed it. I thought it was yummy. I forgot that there's leftovers too. There are. Yeah.
You can heat those up. I'm gonna need one for breakfast this morning. Yeah. But you didn't. I think it's hilarious to use use the little peach cups.
Yeah. Well, because it because you cut them up and think I know. They're sitting in the fridge, and I went, oh, I got peaches already cut up. I'll just use that. Worked out.
I thought you just can. I thought you just found a can Nope. Peaches. Throw the can of peaches in there. Oh, little peach cups.
They're perfect. Josh? But they turned out really well. I was excited. They they were pretty yummy, and, and I got to do some baking and cook something new, which I always enjoy, and, learn a few things as I go.
And And I always enjoy eating what you make. Yeah. Turned out pretty good. Homemade scones on a Saturday morning. Not bad.
And then I went to, the fly tying fest again. I went back I went back to the expo where I should have been all Hours earlier. Hours or hours and hours earlier. But that's alright. I was making scones for the family.
So that's what you gotta do. Sometimes, it's about making scones for the family. You know? I like the scone. Thank you very much.
No. You're welcome. I received one of the best compliments that I could ever receive last week. What happened? Somebody somebody said, look at how young and, tall Nope.
And, non gray hair. Nope. What what? Nope. I had a perfectly curated musical playlist.
Oh. And there were some dudes that were like, who made this playlist? And I said, I did. Okay. Hesitantly at first because You know how to spell it?
Gonna love it? I see. And I said, it is awesome. You just have to go all in and go, I made it, and then you have to accept your fate. And then every song that came on afterward Yeah.
He was like, you picked this song? One after another. Yeah. Yeah. And that is the greatest compliment I could ever receive.
Well, I'm I'm happy for you. Young. I don't care about having non gray hair. I don't care about being tall. Tell me my music is cool.
You got cool music? Done. That was it. That's all it takes. Happy.
That's all it takes. If you're cool, you tell me my music is cool. So you consider the guys that told you that your playlist was cool as cool guys? Yes. So when cool guys say, good job on your playlist, Chantel, then that just sets you, way up high.
Yep. Well, that's fun. I know. Back in, in elementary school, maybe it was in the DARE program when I was in sixth grade. They were talking about self esteem Okay.
And bullying and, you know, peer pressure and all that kind of stuff. Uh-huh. Uh-huh. And they were talking about how everybody has a self esteem balloon Oh. Inside of them and compliments and nice things that are said inflate your self esteem balloon.
Yes. But but and but it takes a lot of breath to inflate a balloon, but it takes one little pin to take it all away. Oh, sad. Yeah. Right?
And so it was all about, like, you gotta you gotta inflate everybody's balloon. Don't be the pin that goes around popping people's balloons. No. Yeah. That's a nice analogy.
I started learning philosophy real young, or psychology, whatever it is. And, and so I passed that on to you so that you know that that's a little bit of inflation in your balloon. It was a lot of inflation. And every time a song came on, it was more little more. Yeah.
And then because I didn't want the compliments to end, it was the end of the night. I was locking up, and I said, I gotta shut down the playlist. So I go, but what you didn't hear was this song and this song and this song, and they were like, no way. Yeah. I'm that cool.
Tell me more. Tell me more how cool I am. Wow. It's a simple thing to inflate somebody's balloon. It really is.
But, also, when somebody says you're cool and your taste in music is cool Mhmm. Mhmm. Yes. I know it. I've known it all along.
Right. You just feel justified. I just need somebody else to tell me that that's true too for you. That's true too for you. True too for you.
We all like it. Well done. You should also write poems. I should. That's true too for you too.
Saturday night live turned 50. Yes. So there's a lot of stuff on TV this weekend, because of that and to celebrate that. And on Friday night, they had a concert, like, a big hours long It was, like, three hours. It was crazy.
It was a big long party. Lots of music. And, we just kinda turned it on just to have an I guess, did it happen Friday night? We watched it Saturday morning, I think. It was on Saturday while I was making scones.
Yes. And, it was long. It was three hours long. It was real long. I did like the post Nirvana performance.
I thought that was cool with Post Malone and Dave Grohl on the drums, and I thought that was really good. I'm trying to remember some of the more memorable ones. Cher. Cher performed. Who is, like, 81, I think, 78 or 81.
Tore it up. She looked great. Right. Bobby Rate came out. Yes.
That was big. You were like, I love this song. I did love that song. Couple of moments like that. Devo performed, which was pretty interesting.
Yeah. Kept ripping their, costumes apart the whole time. It's very Devo. Yep. Anyway, there was a whole bunch of great performances.
Lady Gaga performed. They did a bunch of different stuff. It was cool. It was cool. Backstreet Boys performed.
Let's talk about Brian for a minute. Brian has a singer. One of the Well, they're all singers, and nobody is a musician there that's, like, a guitarist. Kinda take the lead. Okay.
Him and what? Nick? Nick. Carter? Yeah.
So Good job. Thanks. Good job knowing your Backstreet Boys. Yeah. Well, two.
However, there was a moment where you said, woah. Those these guys look better with age. Was it AJ? Who was the one? Howie.
You were like, I AJ's from NSYNC. Is that right? No. No. No.
He's a Backstreet boy. Uh-huh. Look at that. Look at you. Cool.
I have no idea what I'm talking about. You're doing great. Is Howie the cowboy hat guy? No. No.
I didn't think so. Is that AJ? Yeah. Alright. Very good.
But you saw Howie and were like, oh, hey, Howie. I didn't think about you. But you because when you were younger, who was number one? Brian. Brian was number one.
Mhmm. And now, look. Brian has a medical thing with his vocal cords, specifically. And and so he, has to really strain in order to sing. And you can see it in his face.
You can see it's not working well for Brian. No. Brian Littrell, right, who is, like, the the dude who kinda put the band together. I learned a lot about Backstreet Boys over the past couple of weeks. Dude, dude.
And, anyway, it was interesting, to see them perform. And and you could tell Brian was having a hard time when he takes the mic and he goes, help me out, and points it at the crowd. Yeah. Sing with me, which I feel bad. Like, the guy is I think he clearly normal.
Into the crowd and had Jerry Seinfeld sing some of the songs. Which what felt random. I think it was Jerry. He walked out of the crowd like, who's gonna be singing along and then picked out Jerry and just went, you sing, Jerry. And Jerry was like, I want it.
That way okay. Go. Let's go. I'm just, it's probably my age also that I as I age, I say, it's appropriate that I like someone that's also the same age as me. So, yeah, Backstreet Boys, I liked you when I was 18 True.
As 18 year olds. Now I'm 40. You're also 40. Or 50. Looking pretty good.
Yeah. I see. I see what's going on. How we? How we doing?
Okay. Come on now. I'm taking an ASL class That's right. American sign language. Yeah.
And I signed up for two courses. Second course is a little bit more challenging than the first. What you said because and we we talked about this last week. You're still in the first course. You haven't finished the first one.
Correct. But the second one's they overlap. And the second one has started, and now you're in the position where you're having to do more advanced stuff while still wrapping up sort of your intro. And that's a challenge. It's not necessarily a challenge because it's just trying to put them all together.
K. I'm trying to just hit my timing right. Alright. So my second course, I have to record myself signing Yeah. And then submit it to the discussion board that our class has.
Right. And then we're supposed to comment on each other's videos. Yeah. Very similar to my photography class where I submit my work and I get feedback, and that's how you get better. That is how you get better.
Right. How many videos did it take me before I felt comfortable posting one? Let's look. Wait. Hold on.
Hold on. Exactly. So I helped you set up in in the kitchen a little tripod to hold your phone so that you could record Uh-huh. I didn't know you did multiple takes. Oh, I did 15 takes.
No. You didn't do 15. I did. Wanna count them? For real?
What For real? Do 14 times before you got to the one that you liked? I kept messing up, and I had practiced before I recorded too. Yeah. So I had to sign, hi.
My name is Chantel. Right. I live in Idaho Right. With my husband Yeah. My son Yeah.
And my daughter. Right. And then I had to say, I am not deaf. Right. I am hearing.
Right. And then I had to say, I like riding my blue bicycle. About yourself. Okay. Now not everybody had to say exactly the same thing.
Correct. Right? No. You just said intro to who you are Yes. Where you live, a little bit about your family, a hobby or something.
Yep. Okay. That makes sense. Alright. And it took you 15 times on the video.
Yeah. Not to mention the times I practice without recording. So I'm doing so You are you are doing good, and practice and repetition is what's gonna help you get better. That's fine. Immersion is the next best thing.
Like, if you can get into an actual conversation, that's that will only help. So, that's interesting. Now when when you're learning a foreign language, typically, there's, a middle person, like an interpreter person, or there's a little bit of understanding of both languages. If you were talking to someone who is deaf and there's not an interpreter, how do you bridge that gap? That's an interesting That is an interesting thing for me.
Because there's not like, speak my language. Just say it out loud so I can hear what you're trying to say. Because, like, you can't communicate that. Do you know what I mean? You'd probably just have to resort to writing.
Yeah. Okay. Alright. That's that would be that would be a workaround. I mean, right?
That's the only thing I could think of. That's that that makes sense. I so I submitted it, and I was nervous to submit my video. And then it was nervous about the feedback. So I was checking it all weekend.
I know you were. You were like, I didn't get any messages yet. I didn't get any messages. So I know that by the time you went to bed last night, you had at least one. Was it nice?
It was really nice. Good. She said yeah. She it's one of my Fellow classmates. Yeah.
Okay. One of my classmates, and she said, looks great. I never would have expected that you would recorded this 15 times. You look so comfortable. And I said There you go.
Because I recorded it 15 times. Post the first one. No. No. Yeah.
That's what you gotta do to get feedback. You gotta post the the rough stuff so that people go, oh, you're working on it, and that's how you can improve. My challenge here's my challenge is that, typically, people who sign because they are deaf don't mouth the words. And so you're not supposed to mouth the words. And I'm trying very hard not to mouth the words that I'm signing at the same time, and that is my biggest challenge.
That's difficult for me. Interesting. But I did it. You've done it. So I think that's video out of the way.
You've gotta do a video for every For every one of these. Yes. Yeah. So I'm two classes in, so I have to I have to film another one tonight. I think what's gonna happen is you're you're gonna get to a point where you're gonna go, I can't be filming 15 of these.
I'm just gonna send the first one. No way. Yeah. Way. No way.
Because I'm a student, and I don't wanna submit something that's bad quality. No. You it won't be. You're going to nail it the first time. Oh, I see.
And then because you you're not gonna have time and effort to put in 15 videos. You're gonna go, I gotta nail this the first time. Here we go. Nail it. Send it.
I'm moving on. That's where you gotta get. Okay. And you will. I will.
By the time the class is over, maybe? By the second assignment. Second assignment. Yep. The second assignment's already due.
I'm not there yet. Done. What are you waiting for? I gotta practice. You're already behind.
I know. Step it up. I know. I know. Too much pressure.
Kind of an example you're setting for other students. Slacker. Everybody goes through a pace, Josh. I know. Back up.
I know. Well, good for you. Let's do it in fewer than 15 takes. We'll work our way to one. Alright?
I will try. Let's try cutting in half. Let's try out the gate. Let's go seven tops. Okay.
10. I'll go 10. Seven tops. Best I can do is ten. Seven or or drop.
Seven or drop. Drop the class? Yep. No. And do better.
No. Get out of here. Get. Go on. Get.
Seven or drop. Get. Alright. Woah. That was loud.
It was louder than I expected to do today. I'm sorry. There was a recipe that was made last week. Mhmm. And, and it was delicious, and I was gonna bring some for leftovers, and I forgot.
But it was, like a pasta dish. Yes. It called for peas. Why? Why did it have peas in it?
I don't know. Not as a side. I think just as a way to get some vegetables in. It said, let's throw in some peas. It was rigatoni.
Yeah. But it was a tomato based sauce. Yeah. And it had some what did it have? Mozzarella and Parmesan.
Right. It was meatless, which made me happy. I don't know why there is peas, though. So I started doing some research. I didn't pair them in.
I know you didn't. But peas in pasta is like a big thing. Is it? People put vegetables like peas and carrots and, like like, a mixed vegetable bag sometimes Okay. Into their pasta.
Okay. It makes sense. Why does it make sense? Because it's a way to get your vegetables in. You're supposed to get a lot of servings of vegetables.
This is a way to get those veggies in. I think you could probably, just have them on the side if you want. Now I'm not gonna have peas. I don't care for peas. I don't like their flavor.
They're not for me. Is that your least favorite vegetable? If you could put any kind of vegetable into that rigatoni, what would you put? Would you put carrots? No.
Potatoes? No. Sweet potatoes. Broccoli. No.
Cauliflower. No. Cauliflower would be pretty good. No. Here's what it said.
Peas are added to pasta primarily to provide a burst of sweetness Oh. And a contrasting texture Oh. Adding a vibrant green color while also boosting the nutritional value of the dish by introducing additional protein and fiber. That's the idea behind it. Okay.
There I don't know peas had protein in them. I guess so. That makes sense. They're they're kind of a bean. They're part of a bean.
Yeah. There is actually We're learning. I know. Italian cuisine in Italian cuisine is known as pasta e passelli, which is a simple comforting dish that utilizes readily available ingredients. So you make your pasta, and you chuck in some peas and vegetables.
We should have put the peas in then as some added protein and fiber. We could all use a little more of that. I just didn't know about it, and it stood out as a real weird thing to me. I thought so too. That's why we left them out.
And plus, also, nobody in the family likes peas except for me. I like peas. I like them in things just not pasta. Like, I don't mind them in in a stew or soup or some sort of unless it's, like, just pea soup. No thanks.
No. But pasta with peas in it is very, very common. It's pretty common. Yeah. White sauce, red sauce, doesn't matter.
People put peas in their pasta. Blew it. No. We could have had added protein and fiber. Okay.
They are a good source of protein, fiber, and vitamins making the pasta meal more balanced. Oh, we blew it. We blew the rigatoni meal. Because we didn't put the peas in it? I think it's okay.
I think we're gonna be just fine. Well, now we have a lot of peas. But I didn't even know because you made the recipe. Right? Mhmm.
You cooked it. Emery helped. Well, kinda. But but the like, I I was somewhere. I came home to have a meal.
This was, like, Wednesday last week, I think. Yeah. And I came home to have a meal, to have dinner, and it's there. And as I'm eating, and I'm like, this is great. This is great.
Someone mentioned it was supposed to have peas in. And I went, what? Why? Emery looked at the recipe and said, peas? And I said, there's peas in it?
And she said, yeah. And she goes, can we not put the peas in? And I go, no. Because no one's gonna eat them. So I have two bags of peas now.
So I gotta figure out what to do with all those peas. I guess I could just eat them by themselves. If they're a good source of protein and fiber, I could just heat them up. You could. Eat them by themselves.
You could just have the peas. Or Bake myself a potato. Yeah. Put some peas on my potato. Peas on the potato?
Yeah. Why not? Or I like them on a salad. I could put them on a salad. I've got lots of ideas for these peas.
Great. Hey, you. Hey. I did a thing. What'd you do?
I did the thing that you hate when I do. What? I okay. What? I ordered some stuff online.
Yeah. That's the noise. When's it supposed to arrive? Right. Exactly.
Let's check. I can't wait. I can't wait to hear multiple updates on your shipping order. Well, as of right now can't wait. So my one order has multiple deliveries.
It has three different deliveries. Cool. I should receive some of the items on Thursday. Oh, boy. And then some of the items some point between the twentieth and the twenty fourth, and then the last shipment, the twenty fourth to the twenty fifth.
I can't wait to hear step by step updates on one of your packages. I can't even wait. I know. That's why I was excited to let you know. I I did the thing, and now I've been checking twice this morning.
Bro, I don't understand your obsession. I just don't. If you know that it's supposed to come on Thursday and that's when it's expected to come, then just close it down. Sometimes if stuff happens earlier. Great.
And then you go, oh my gosh. This arrived on Wednesday. How exciting. Yeah. What a surprise.
Right. But I'll be sure to let you know No. I'm saying change is gonna be Shut it down and be surprised when it arrives. I don't care for that. Okay.
Then maybe you check once a day. Well, I've already checked twice. I know. You're obsessed. It's not healthy.
Why isn't it healthy? Because it's not healthy for me. Stop. I just am I'm gonna be real excited when it says your items have shipped. I'm so excited too.
I can't wait to hear all about it. Like, right now, my order is just sitting there waiting to be filled. So then why did you check it twice? To see if it had shipped yet. Guess what?
It sends you a notification when it ships. Right. But sometimes I catch it before I get the email. Dude. It's like a sport.
You have a problem. No. It's a problem. Why is it a problem? This is a problem.
Nah. Please go see somebody. It feels healthy. No. It's not.
Why not? Because it's this is not healthy. It's not healthy for me. Here's the problem that I have is that I could go to a store, and I could find the thing, and I could buy the thing, and I'd have the thing now. Mhmm.
But not all of the items that I ordered are even available in this area. I'd have to go somewhere else to even get them. Okay. And so, like, I've shopped for some of these things here and not been able to find them. So I said, well, I'm just gonna buy them online.
Okay. And then and which I don't care for. I wish I could find the things locally. I would like to buy the things locally. Because then you would have them, and I wouldn't have to hear about them for four days.
Right. Or more. I don't know why you think so. This problem that, like, I shopped on a Sunday. Like, I shopped yesterday.
Uh-huh. So my order's in a queue of everybody else who shopped on a Sunday. And so all these orders have to be filled today for people to shop over the weekend because the you know, no post on Sundays and stuff. So now I just have to sit and wait for my order to get processed. Sit and wait, dude.
Just sit and wait. Just sit and wait. There's nothing you can do Could I go to the warehouse and, like, fill it myself? There's nothing you can do about it, but wait. So wait.
I can't go I can't go to the warehouse and say Go see. Can I fill this order and just take it now? I've already paid for it. Just let me have my stuff. Show up and let's see what happens.
And let's see what happens? Go see. Show up with my phone? Go ahead. Here's my order.
Can I have it? Go ahead. See what happens. You're so obsessed. It's nuts.
This is the nuttiest thing about you. This is the nuttiest the craziest thing you do. I don't like ordering online. It drives me the craziest. It drives me crazy.
Ordering things online. I had to. I couldn't find the things locally. You're nuts. It's not even my own fault.
You're so nuts. A little bit of the, would you rather this or that? Oh, a little bit of it. Would you rather have to wear socks on your hands forever or have to drink or excuse me. Have every drink you taste taste like pickles?
So you're drinking essentially pickle juice every time you take a drink of something or sock hands forever. My favorite is when you can't decide between the two of them because they're both so good. Awful. They're both awful. So good.
It's not because I want both of them. It's because I don't want either. I'm gonna I'm gonna pick socks because pickle juice is really salty. So you're gonna need some water at some point in your life. But you said it's it's not pickle juice.
But it's gonna taste pickle juice. If I drink water or whatever, it tastes like pickle juice. Like pickle juice. So I'll just have to eat something right after it. You will.
Like a cucumber. What? I can't wear sock hands. I can't. I can't be sock hands.
Why? Oh, why? That's gonna be really in the summertime, it'd be really hot. Type with sock hands. Uh-huh.
Do anything that requires tactile dexterity Fist pumping? Socket. Doesn't require tactile dexterity. Five Doesn't require tactile dexterity. Blowing a kiss works great.
Plus it's a dirty sock. So there's that because everything you touch is gonna be a filthy sock. It is gonna be a filthy sock. Eventually, it'll wear holes in it, and you'll look like you're wearing fingerless gloves. And every time you go to the restroom gross.
I might change my mind. Nope. You already picked Alright. Sock hands. You going pickle juice?
I have to. Pickle juice and sock hands. Mornings. Classy 97. Pickle juice and sock hands.
No sock hands. It's gross. Enjoy your pickle juice. Well, good luck with your dirty sock hands. I will.
High five minutes. Will. Good luck. High five minutes, everyone. Yeah.
Touch my dirty sock hands. Tactile dexterity Touching everybody. Destroyed. You can do nothing with precision. Ugh.
I need to know how you feel about this because I think you're not gonna be into it. But you might be into it for the science of the thing. I like science. I know you do. So researchers at Tufts University k.
Are, making strides in the world of dentistry. They are growing bioengineered teeth. Fascinating. Right? You don't sound fascinated.
They're using a mix of human cells and pig cells, and they are growing these teeth in pigs. Oh. They've created what they're calling tooth like structures that could one day replace traditional dental implants. So instead of having a fake tooth, you'd have a real tooth made of real teeth stuff that was grown in the head of a pig and then transplanted into your mouth. I don't I'm kinda grossed out.
Right? I knew you would be. Now I have a fake tooth Right. When I was pregnant. Yeah.
Calcium worn away. Yeah. So I had to get an implant. It's a fake. Right.
It does great. I don't have any complaints. I don't know what the benefits are for having a fake tooth versus a bioengineered tooth. Well, the team says that they have not yet created what they call beautifully formed teeth, but there is a lot of optimism that one day missing teeth can be replaced with real teeth instead of porcelain implants. So you would have real tooth material in your mouth instead of some foreign object.
It would be natural, bioengineered, material, but it would be actual teeth material, not I feel slightly grossed out by it. I knew you would because the pigs gotta walk around and eat and grow and do what pigs do. So and they'll gonna clean it off. They'll hose it off before they put it in your mouth. So it'll be it'll be a clean tooth, but it will be a used pig tooth.
Yeah. I don't want that. I'll take I'll take my fake one, please, and thank you. Rather than used pig tooth? Yep.
Yep. Come on. No. Get a little pig tooth in there. Oh, I'll just have my fakey.
No. Get a little pig tooth in there. You get one. No. I'm good.
I don't want pig teeth in there. Either. But do you you need a little pig tooth in there. Smile. Show us that pig tooth.
Stop. Just get out of here. Gross. What if it was like a warthog tusk and you just had that in there? Show us that pig tooth.
Come on now. Yeah. It'd be fantastic. I don't think it would be. I don't like it.
I'll just say Give us your big pig grin. Oh, on that note, that's gonna do it for the show today. On that note. Yep. Wow.
