Full show transcript:
Hi. Hey. Welcome to the podcast. Thank you. Welcome to you.
It's Josh and Chantel. It's me. This is Wake Up Classy 97, the podcast on a Thursday. What's the date today? February 20.
Twentieth. That's a couple days until my birthday. It's also Weird? Yeah. It is weird.
I've like, I feel like the anticipation and build up to your birthday as a kid is, like, you count down the minutes. And I feel like it's gotten here really quickly this year. Like, it's it's, like, all of a sudden my birthday. It's weird. Here's your birthday.
Almost. Almost. Hey. Today's payday. What?
Bling bling. Bling bling. Cash money. Alright. Sweet.
Today on the show, we got a late start, so it's gonna be a short one today. It is a shorter show than usual. Yeah. Yeah. The difference between jelly, jam, and preserves.
Fruit. Yes. That's the answer. Fruit. Josh picked the worst time to make a bunch of noise.
When would have been a better time? When I'm not trying to focus on something. Oh, sorta like how misophonia works. Yeah. We toured the utility closet, and I knew a whole bunch.
Look at you. I know. Look at the big brain on Chantel. Look at the old noggin. Yeah.
The heaving snack bag. I like the word heaving. It's gross. It reminds me of a story that involves your mom watching medical shows, and I like that word a great deal. What's the deal with getting the bread wet before toasting it?
Makes no sense to me, but you seem to think it does. I'm gonna give it a try. Well, good luck with wet bread. Thank you. We're a part of a larger podcast podcast.
It's part of our, sisterhood of podcasts, sisterhood of traveling podcasts. Remember being left alone in the car as a kid? Yeah. It was dangerous for me. Not for me.
Social media has some weird ideas about what Josh is interested in. It's a duck. And we survived the show today. Hooray. Thanks for checking out the show.
Hope you enjoy it. It is almost Friday, almost the weekend, so that's going well for everybody, I hope. I know it's a weird time for us because everybody's been sick. Yeah. So, hopefully, we're just gonna get through this week and We're on the up and up.
We're on the up and up? Manifest it. Alright. You're gonna start the podcast how we end the show. Manifestation.
Alright. Enjoy today's show. Well, we decided to give it a little bit of a late start this morning. That's right. Been here for over an hour.
Uh-huh. And I I just couldn't even talk. And it was a sad morning, and so I said, I I can't I can't do it. He really had no voice. I I couldn't project.
I, I had to give myself time to Warm up. Wake up and warm up. Man, it's it's, it's still rough. So I don't know, why you thought it'd be fun to give me this for my birthday. I'm sorry.
I need to know where to return it. I wish I could tell you because Yeah. I've had this for about a week. So Well, you sound great today. Do I?
Yeah. I feel better than I have in a long time. I still have a stuffy nose. Yeah. I can hear that a little bit, but you sound you sound really good.
My favorite part is that sometimes my nose is like, no. We can't breathe. And so I sit here going like like a mouth breather Uh-huh. Because I can't breathe out my nose. I see.
And then in the next minute, my nose is like, oh, no. We're just gonna keep leaking like crazy. It's pretty gross. I know. I know it is.
I'm a disgusting human being. Well, you're not a disgusting human being. You're you're an ill human being. You decide to show up to work because, I guess that's what we do. I'm on the mend.
Do you feel like you're in decline? Know where I am on this thing. Every day is a new adventure. Yesterday, I felt like my voice sounded weird. I was producing the podcast after the show, and and I was like, I actually didn't sound terrible.
I had a deeper voice, but I didn't sound like what I heard in my head. So I don't know what what I don't know what's coming out of my head right now. Deep, but it doesn't sound terrible. It's not, like, awful to listen to. Couldn't project.
I was normally, when I drive in, I'll I'll try to, like, talk to myself or read signs as I'm driving by them or whatever to kinda wake up my voice. I never did that. I know. Should I do that? If you want.
Oh. It what it does is it prevents you from the first time you open your mouth for the day being like, good morning, and then you go. Yeah. I do that. So that's what it prevents.
Probably. You know, whatever. So and and it's a short drive. It's usually only, you know, five or ten minutes, to drive in. And so, usually, by the time I get in here and and we're ready to talk on the radio, I'm warmed up because it doesn't take much.
It's just talking. Right? It's not like I'm Do you like doing opera singing. I was gonna say, are you gonna do, like, vocal exercises? No.
I usually The tip of the tongue, the teeth, the tip. Yeah. I don't do all that. No. No.
I I usually do, like, a little bit of humming just to kinda loosen things up. Red leather. Yellow leather. So I'll just go, you know, somehow sing along to the radio, so that probably counts. But maybe I should start to do some enunciation vocal practicing.
I I mean, really, it's just about it's about the projection more than anything. And this morning, because I tried to do it kinda loud, like, you know, as I'm driving, I'll read the name of a sign that I'm passing. Or somebody has a marquee, I'll just read it out loud, just to try and get things moving. Okay. And this morning, I had no projection.
I was all I all I could say was, I can't talk. Like, I had nothing coming out. It was really bad. Silence for about an hour. Yeah.
And then I I've been trying warm liquids. I've been trying, a cough drop. I've been trying to get things moving this morning. So Are they moving? I think, I think things are starting to loosen up.
You've got some movement in your vowels? In in my vowels. That's weird. It's a weird thing to say. But yes.
It was a good joke. No. I get it. I get it. I get the joke.
Alright. Alright. Scamarias. Yeah. Do want you to be careful out there this morning if you're on the roads.
Very, very, slippery. What happened is we had, some moisture early in the evening, then we had some freezing temperatures, and then we got some snow. Mhmm. So underneath that snow is a lovely layer of ice. I know in Rexburg, they were cleaning up, car accidents all night.
It's very, very slick the further north you go. But be very, very careful. And as always, 511.idaho.gov is where you go to check the road report before you hit the road. If you're hitting the highways, freeways, interstates, whatever, make sure you check 511.idaho.gov before you get out there on those It does ice skating. Right?
Beautiful. Oh, it's gorgeous. Right? Window. The trees are all coated.
It looks beautiful outside. Is it still snowing? Can you tell? I can't tell from where I'm at. I think it is.
I don't think so. Yeah. It is, it it's potentially snowing lightly. I was I was trying to see if we're gonna have more of that over the next few days. And it looks like no.
It looks like today might be it. Holy smokes. We got forties and mid forties coming next weekend. What? Yeah.
That's good exciting news. That's hopeful. And then, you know yeah. Forties next week. Okay.
I can settle for that. I'm I'm okay. As we head into March soon. Might as well, have some forties. But, yeah, it looks like it's snowing still.
I still I still see some snowfall. Man, oh, man. Yeah. But, anyway, be careful. Careful.
And, we're here. We're in the studio. Good morning. It's Josh and Chantel. Good morning.
So last night, we had to ask our Internet, what is the difference between jelly, jam, and preserves? Right. Because Because our daughter doesn't like preserves. We accidentally bought preserves at the store. And when I made her a peanut butter and jelly sandwich, I said, oh, she's not gonna like this.
Yeah. Because the preserves aren't aren't jelly. It's thick. Yeah. It's like thick clumps of what preserves in there.
Strawberries. Yeah. It's it the what we found out is that jelly is made with the juice. The jam is made with, like, blended fruit. Yeah.
Jam is mashed fruit. Yeah. And then preserves are big chunks of whole fruit. Yes. You got it.
Good job remembering. And I use preserves in some different recipes. Like, I use apricot preserves in, like, a chicken recipe that I make. Sticky chicken. Okay.
What can you do with strawberry preserves? Because now I have a whole jar that nobody's going to eat. I didn't even notice. Emory picked it out. She picked the preserves and now hates it.
And this is the thing many parents will know about their kids is that if they've decided one day that they just don't like it, they will not eat it. Recipes that use strawberry preserves. You can make strawberry jam sugar cookies. You can make, crumble bars. You can make strawberry jam bars.
So lots of lots of baking. Of bars? Mhmm. Lots of baking with it. You can use it in a pound cake.
Okay. I'm gonna I'm gonna find a recipe. I'm gonna I'm gonna use those preserves. You use preserves and linzer cookies. Oh.
So you could you could get out the, you could roll some shortbread and take four days. I'm not gonna do that, but you have done that before. And those are delicious. Yeah. You should make some of those.
No. You can make the shortbread. It takes four days. No. You should do it.
Takes forever. I know it does because I watched you make them. And I had a great time doing it. But I had a great time eating them. Man.
And I it made a ton. Yeah. We We had to actually throw some of them away. A platter of those things. We were munching on those for days and days, and then finally, we were just like, this is too many.
Yeah. It's and the shortbread turned out great. It took me a really long time. It was those were so good, though. You had different jams in there.
I know. Oh, man. Oh, man. And they were all preserves because then you get a little bit thicker. Sometimes it's nice being married to somebody who likes to cook.
Sometimes. But other times, I can't be bothered to make that shortbread again because it took me forever. Damn it. It took so long. Why did you tease me with it then?
You can't make something and say, I can make this, and I can make this really well. And then I go, I can have this anytime I want. And then you go, nah. I'm not gonna make that ever again. You can't do that.
I might get inspired one day. I still have the cookie press. I have all of the things. I can make the things. And I have preserves.
Okay. Make the shortbread. I don't. I can't. I know.
Be bothered. It's the chilling of it. It's such a process. I don't have the patience like you do. I just don't.
I do have that. I do have that going for me. Well done. I'm patient enough to make Linzer cookies. That's that's a true statement.
I just can't be bothered. Neither can I? Okay. Well, then no Linzers for you. Find something else to do with those processors, I guess.
My favorite part about last night was when I was sitting at the kitchen table, and I was trying to do my sign language class. Yes. And you decided to cut the dog's treats. Yeah. Not just one, but Oh, all of them.
All of them. Here's here's the thing about those treats. We got the like, you don't do raw hide for dogs. It's not healthy. So they make it out of something else.
It it was like the hardest breadstick in the whole wide world. It's super dense. Her, so you were cutting them up. Right. She's she's she's a little dog.
She's only 15 pounds. And those things, I think, are two pounds each. They're huge. And so I was cutting it into, like, inch and a half, two inch little sections down these things, that are, like, almost a foot long. And, they're super hard to cut.
I I tried three different knives. I tried serrated edges. I was this close to going out and just using the, the chop saw. I was like, I I can't cut these things. Should have because I don't know why you picked the table to do that when I was trying to take a class.
Well I had a whole calendar. Part is that, That it took forever. Well You took about ten to fifteen minutes doing that. That's not that long. It wasn't that long.
In the middle of a class? Yeah. It was long. Also, it's an ASL class. Yeah.
So it's it's reading and signing. Yeah. I get it. You didn't have to hear anything. Focus when somebody's over there whacking on it.
Thing. Bone. Yeah. So, when I try and I only tried the hammer method a couple of times. And then I realized that was shaking your whole world, so I stopped.
The whole thing shook my whole world. All of it. Well, because after I would score it, then I could put it down and and sort of karate chop it. And then I could I could break them up enough to put them in the tree bin. Anyway, she she just needs those little ones.
So I was trying to Which listen. Clean her. I appreciate that you did that. That was nice because that's a project. We all keep saying somebody needs to make those streets smaller.
Right. And no one ever does it. So I do appreciate that you did that. Not the right time or place, but It felt it felt like the only place. It wasn't gonna go into the bathroom with the knives and chop up things.
I ate all kinds of things. In the same room. You still would have had the same annoyances. It wouldn't have been because it wouldn't have been right on the table next to me. I see.
You see what I'm saying? I get what you're saying. It was kind of in my line of sight. Yeah. You were shaking the table at some points.
It was just distracting I get it. To say the least. I get it. But thanks for doing it, I guess. You're totally welcome.
And now the treats are broken down, and now she can have treats. And, I we can open the bin again and let her pick one for herself. Oh. Yeah. I know.
Big deal. She loves that. She does like doing that. She loves picking a treat. So now she can, she can get back to picking a treat.
We just need to be better at making sure we communicate if we gave her food or treats because I think she's the type of dog to be like, I'd love a treat. I'd love another treat. Anybody got more of those treats? Given me any treats today. Right.
After she's had three. Promote. Can someone can someone give me a treat? Look how cute I am. I need a treat.
Yeah. And then we'll have a 500 pound Jack Russell, which is very unhealthy. And very unusual. Yeah. If you've got an overweight Jack Russell, then you really are the laziest.
Or it's an old one that isn't as, as active. Can we get an old one? Eventually. No worries. Her three year birthday is coming up in a couple of months.
She'll be we'll have had her for a year in a couple of months. That's true. We will. Holy moly. I know.
Time. It's crazy. Right? It's a wild thing. Time.
Time? Why you punish me? Yeah. Alright. Well, I'm sorry I was such a a bother to your class.
It's okay, Josh. I survived, and I will survive. But I just wanted to air it for everyone to hear. That that I caused a grievance? Yeah.
That's what gives me closure. I I feel like you're still gonna grudge it a little bit. Next time I'm doing something, you're gonna be, like, banging around, and you're gonna go see what it's like. And I'll go, I thought you, had closure on that. You don't know me at all.
I pretty much do. I really do. I was impressed. Were you impressed I by yourself? No.
I knew I had that in me. Oh. So I was not impressed because I knew all along. That you knew? Uh-huh.
Okay. Well, we toured the utility closet yesterday, evening, and, I was impressed that you were able to kinda trace things to figure things out. You applied good logic. Thank you. And you were able to say, I know this is the water softener, and I know that's a water filter.
I know. And I know. I know. I that wasn't the impressive part. Okay.
I what I was impressed by was you knew all the parts and pieces, and you were able to say, I think if I follow this back, that's the water main, which you were correct about. I found the water main. Look at me. That's important for the whole house. Yeah.
So when we're flooding. Let's not do that. I don't want to. But that's important knowledge for you to know that if there's something that just won't turn off, turn that off. That's that's important.
What I also found was how to replace the the air filter in our furnace. Yeah. Did you You thought that we had a little door. No. We don't.
We don't. It's just little slide. Slides in the little spot. Yeah. Did you know that we needed to change that air filter?
Yeah. Or Sure. Yeah. Okay. Because as you pulled it out, you went, oh, that's pretty dirty.
And then there was another one sitting next to the furnace, and you said, what's this one look like? Oh, that's pretty dirty too. Gross. Yeah. I I don't have a I don't have a new clean one.
Do you know how often you're supposed to change furnace filters? I'm gonna guess once a year. What is it? So we have a one inch filter. Okay.
Right? Sure. It's the 16 by 20 by one. Okay. Yeah.
Is that correct? Yes. So I need to go get a a few of them. You're supposed to change one to two inch filters every one to three months. One to three months?
Yeah. Oh, Josh. Oh. How long has it been since gotta go. Don't wanna talk about that.
Now here's the thing. I don't think that that's necessarily your responsibility. Like, I'm I'm not in this I'm not in this mindset of no. The dude has to take care of this, and the dude the woman has to take care of this. What I will say is you have to take care of the car because I don't know anything about the car.
I barely know stuff about cars. It doesn't matter. K. When we got married, that was the determination that you're gonna take care of the cars. Okay?
Yeah. Now I'm taking full responsibility too because I should have known that the furnace needed an air filter. So I'm not placing all of the blame entirely on you. Yeah. Because that's my responsibility too.
I should have known that the furnace needed to have an air filter, and then that needed to be replaced every so often. So I'm reading I'm reading from some HVAC folks. I've I've got them. Yeah. Got it on my list.
I'm I'm reading, through through a a forum with some HVAC people that are that are like, yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Really, it's every three months. But take a look at it because if you notice it's getting dirty, dirty sooner, then you you know, it it can definitely have an influence on, the the, what's the word I'm looking for?
Filtration? No. Air quality? Efficiency Okay. Of the furnace.
And so it's important to, to look for things like pet dander. If if you, smoke in a house, that can change the frequency in which you need to, change your filter. What are the other things? Oh, they also recommend duct cleaning. I've never had the ducts clean.
Uh-uh. That might not be a bad idea, though. Yeah. Maybe. I I don't know anything about it.
But how do you get to the ducts? Through the vents. All over the house. Okay. Okay.
Does that make sense? Yeah. Do they just, like Oh, they have, like, a thing where they no. They don't have a hose. They have, like, a, like, a broom slash vacuum and a camera, and they run through the whole system.
Oh, I wanna watch. Yeah. I know you would. That's kinda your thing. Yeah.
You are definitely into that. I wanna see what's in my duct work. Dust. Yeah. I know.
But, oh, that's so satisfying. Maybe I should get into duct cleaning. Maybe. I bet that's so satisfying. Yep.
It could be. It could be. The the biggest factor in how often you should change your filter is the type of filter you use, first of all, and then how, frequently it gets dirty. So you really need to get a couple of them and then put one in and then check it thirty days and see if it's filthy. We're gonna I'm gonna buy a whole stack of them.
Are you? Yeah. I'm not just gonna get one or two. I feel like we just need to keep some on hand. Uh-huh.
And, also, Well and we don't have air conditioning, so our furnace doesn't run during the warmer months. It only runs during the wintertime to heat our home, and so I think we probably could get away with changing it during the season it's being used. Make sure we put a new one in at the beginning of the season Check it. And then check it monthly. Okay.
That's fair. That sounds like the plan. Now we looked at the water softener. I need to get salt. Here's the thing.
This is also a project for you, but only because I can't lift those heavy bags of salt. They're only 40 pounds. I think they should probably get lighter bags of salt. Well, then you have to buy more of them. I know.
That's okay. That's not okay. I can't carry those 40 pound bags of salt down the stairs. I know. I don't I don't know how to help you.
I don't either. I could get you one of those, chairs that go up and down the stairs. I've been asking for one of those anyway. Why do you want that? Why wouldn't you want that?
Those things drive me up the walls. Emery had she's in a play production of Newsies. Yeah. And they had rehearsal last night for five hours. I feel so bad for her.
She was pretty wiped out at the end of the night. Yeah. Like, I I picked her up from school, ran her around, helped her get some snacks, dropped her off, and then, and then she had a ride home. But, when she came home, I went, man, what a day. Like, you've been going since 08:00 this morning.
You've had a a thirteen hour day. And for a 15 year old, that's a lot. That is a lot. And then I gotta wake up and do it again today. It's like, that's that's a lot for a 15 year old.
So I'm feeling for her. Yeah. She was pretty wiped out last night. But she you had to go pick her up from school and take her to her rehearsal. And I said, oh, she's gonna need some snacks.
Right. Can you pack her some snacks? Yes. When she got home last night, she goes, I didn't have a chance to eat anything, so she was pretty hungry. She unloaded her lunch bag that you had packed.
It was stuffed. She goes, look at this, mom. Yeah. Her whole lunch bag was It was heaving. Yeah.
Yes. Yeah. I tried to make sure she had plenty. She had. You did good.
I was impressed. I grabbed a whole variety of things. So I had thrown in, like, some of the things that I I figured were just around. So I threw in, like, some chips and some Goldfish crackers, and we had, little single serving Oreo things. So I threw those in.
And then, You had some Go Gurts? Yeah. Well, so that that came about because I threw, pretzels in. I threw almonds in. I threw all this dry stuff in.
And I had it all zipped up, and she was like, where's my snack bag thing? And I I she opens it up, and she looks, and she goes, no grapes? And I said, I didn't know you wanted grapes. I didn't go into the fridge. Let me go into the fridge.
And so I pulled some grapes off, and I put those, in a bag. And I said, do you want a Go Gurt? Because they're right there. And she was like, yeah. Two of them.
And I went, alright. Dude. So we loaded it up, and it was stuffed. She didn't eat any of it. I know.
It all came home. Well, she did later. She ate the grapes She took the grapes to that dessert. Almonds. Yeah.
Oh, yeah. She took the grapes and almonds to that dessert. She's like, I'm gonna eat these before I go to bed. Cool. So, yeah, I tried to make sure snacks were happening.
I was impressed. There's one thing I know. It's how to pack snacks. Good job. Yeah.
Because every time we go on a road trip or anytime we're going camping or anytime I'm going fishing, I need to get better about packing snacks and then actually eating them. Because what I do is I throw all the stuff in. And that's the same thing that happened with her. I get into my activity. I get into whatever, and I don't think, like, oh, yeah.
I should probably eat. You forget about the snacks? I forget about snacks. Oh, I never forget about snacks. All the time.
It's so easy to forget about snacks and water when I'm out when I'm fishing and I'm standing in the water and I'm casting and I'm doing stuff. I don't think I should probably stop and eat. Yeah. You've been out with people before, like, fishing. And then they're like, we're starving, but Josh won't stop.
I know. I'm like, you gotta tell him. I'm a machine. I don't know what happens. Keep doing it until he catches that fish.
And then after that, I'll just keep going. Yeah. You need to be reminded. I need to get better about just throwing stuff into my fly fishing bag that's on my back. Because then, wherever I'm at, I could be like, actually, I should stop and have a sandwich or, you know, a protein bar or whatever and have a drink of water, and sit down and enjoy the nature.
I'm just so into the activity that I don't stop. And then if I'm, like, way away from the truck, I've walked, you know, upriver or downriver or whatever, and then, and then I'm out there. I'm not gonna walk all the way back to the truck. I'll just grab a snack when I get back after I'm done. Yeah.
You do that. Not just fly fishing. When you're involved in a project, whether it's building a deck or working on the lawn True story. It's you just go and go and go until the project is finished. Yeah.
And then I'm I'm always like, hey. Hey. I know. I do it here too. I'll be like, oh, well, I should have gone to lunch an hour ago, and now I've got an hour until my day's done.
So I might as well just keep working. And then I'll get home and be like, I'm starving. You've been on a house project, and I I'm like, it's a good time to take a break and have some lunch. You're like, no. Let's keep going.
Like, no. No. No. No. I need some nourishment.
Keep up. No time for snacking. Oh, there's always time to stop for snacks. I don't know. I need to get better about that for sure, but that's probably I you know, maybe she was super busy, or maybe she just was so into it.
Was. It was And she was having a good time, and she didn't stop. So I've been there. I've been in that position. Good job making those snack bags.
I'm impressed. Yeah. That heaving lunch sack. Yeah. It's the the least I can do.
So there's this new thing that I've been seeing. Initially, I saw it on TikTok where a woman has made her own sourdough. And her favorite snack is when she toasts it, and then she put smears it in butter. And I think it's an ASMR thing where then she's crunching it. Okay?
But That's not for me. I saw another video where people were coming at her because before she toasts it, and she uses a toaster oven, not a toaster, she runs water over the bread. Yeah. Why? And then toasts it.
And people are like, why And maybe it's because sourdough is, is super crunchy as it is. But she likes the crunch. So what she said, the second video that I saw where people were coming at her for covering her bread in water was that and these are her words. If the dough is made of flour and water, obviously, that's gonna dry out. And so Okay.
You're gonna get it wet to reheat or rehydrate it a little bit. Alright. I still don't know exactly what the purpose is other than to get a little little bit, I don't know, softer. So now I saw a thing where people are redunking their pizza in water. Before they get it out.
Yeah. What's the deal? Have you seen the the thing where you put a cup of water in the back of the microwave when you, reheat pizza? No. Yeah.
That's probably the I wonder if that's kinda the same thing. Just to get some moisture in your dough so that it's not dried out. Yeah. Here's here's what it says. If you microwave your pizza with a cup of water, it can help keep the crust crispy and return moisture to the cheese.
So you put a pizza slice on a microwave safe plate, fill a microwave safe mug halfway with water, place the mug next to the pizza microwave in thirty second increments until the pizza is heated through. Apparently, it diverts moisture away from the pizza to prevent the pizza from getting soggy. So it keeps the pizza crispier. Interesting. Yeah.
Well, this reheating pizza video I just watched, she says it works in the microwave or in an air fryer. I honestly, it makes sense in my brain. Does it? Because it yeah. That stuff dries out really quickly because, yeah, it's just made out of flour and water.
So, yeah, you're gonna wanna reheat it or rehydrate it to reheat it. Alright. I think. That makes sense to me. I'm I'm still just trying to learn about this more.
If you have stale bread, they say you can spray it with water and put it in a cold oven. Don't preheat the oven and then put it in. So you can you can, yeah, brush or spritz water on your bread before you reheat it using, like, a spray bottle. Oh, man. I wish I had some sourdough so that I could fry it.
They're saying you can do it with any kind of bread. I know, but we have a friend who has made a sourdough before, and it was delicious. So this is my plea to him. Oh, man. Yeah.
I wish I had some sourdough. You know who you are. If you're listening right now, you know where to find it. Or your wife. Sometimes your wife listens.
Hey. We know that he makes sourdough. So if you're listening, maybe you could tell your husband, sourdough is delicious. Yeah. And and I'd like to try to heat it up sometime.
Yeah. I can't take on the I can't take on the sourdough project. I just can't. There's there's a whole thing about having sour sourdough. Like, you have to have the the the enzymes and the yeast, and you have to feed it, and it's a whole thing.
It's a thing. It's a thing. You gotta be the mother and You become the parent of a sourdough starter, and you're in it. I can't. I I can't.
Same thing happens, like, if you wanted to try kombucha. The same thing. You gotta have that in your in your pantry, in your cupboard for a long time. Wanna try kombucha, but I do want some sourdough from our dear friend, Javi. Who takes care of his own Yeah.
Starter. He's he's good to go. He feeds it. He gives it its flour it needs. Yeah.
Yeah. I mean, I do have a birthday coming up, Javier. That's all. That's all. That's all.
So every day, that we do a live show, we turn it into a podcast. Yes. It's called wake up classy 97, the podcast. Because we're real original. And, we thought, well, the show's called Wake Up Classy 97, and this would be the on demand podcast version of the show.
And, we've we've gathered some, pretty good listenership, I would say. We've we've grown over the past, few months. We launched it in June. We have episodes going all the way back to May. We are part of a whole network of podcasts that are happening in this building.
There's all kinds of stuff that's being created every day and every week and every month. And, one of those other podcasts is the awareness, podcast, the Riverbend Awareness Project, it's called. And every month, they, have a different topic, that that they bring awareness to. For February, it's heart health month, which makes sense. Ties into Valentine's Day.
It's a big deal. And so they actually have a couple of different, people that they talk to. They learned about CPR and AED awareness. And let me tell you, the the ladies have put this together. Melissa and Emma, and and that team, super super awesome what they're doing.
So you gotta you gotta go check this out. If you've never listened to the Riverbend Awareness Project podcast, this is a good one to get in because, they they learned about CPR and AED awareness, which is huge. Yeah. They learned about the Idaho Heart Foundation and their mission, which is really cool. They also have, some different, scholarships for future health care workers.
So you can learn about some of that information. The Heart Ball is coming up this weekend. It's actually this Saturday, and the foundation's it's a big fundraiser for the foundation that supports all of these cool initiatives, and proceeds directly benefit local communities in Idaho. So if you're interested in the Heart Ball, it is happening on Saturday. So there's still time to get involved, I would imagine, if you wanna go.
But, great guests every time. Yeah. The hosts are awesome. Melissa and Emma do a wonderful job. So you gotta go check out, the February Heart Health Month episodes of the Riverbend Awareness Project.
It's available everywhere podcast. I was just gonna ask, where can I find it? Everywhere. What do I look for when I go to search for it? I would search for Riverbend Awareness Project because that's the name of the podcast.
Okay. And you can subscribe to it just like you subscribe to Wake Up Classy 97, the podcast, and you can, you can check out a whole network of podcasts. As I said, like, we've got a lot of great content, from for podcasts that's being generated out of this, building from lots of people. So go check that out, the Riverbend Awareness Project. It's February.
It's heart health month for another, you know, what? Couple of days. Another week or so? Mhmm. Yeah.
So go check out the, the, February episodes. Do it. I will. Okay. Go do it.
Go listen. I am. Okay. I just I watched a video of a guy that was reenacting what he used to do when his mom would leave him in the car as a kid. Do you remember those days?
Like like, they would go into the store and leave you in the car. You would go with your mom into the store, and she would say, I'm just gonna run-in for a minute. Yeah. I crashed the car. That's what I did.
What? Yeah. Yep. So this was years and years and years ago. I we had a, a little Toyota station wagon.
I don't know if I know this one. And, I was left in the car at the post office on Fourth Street. And they've since redone that parking lot, so it's not as steep a slope as it used to be. On Fourth Street. Yeah.
On Fourth Street in Idaho Falls, the the post office by Idaho Falls High School. Okay. Okay. So, the car was parked, and it was a pretty steep hill. They've redone that parking lot, so it's not as bad.
But it was it was she parked there. She said, I'm gonna run-in really quick, which the post office is never a quick run-in. But, anyway, so I was in the car, and, apparently, I wanted to pretend like I was driving. Oh, no. And so, it was a manual as things were in the eighties.
And, and so I popped it into neutral, and the car rolled back into another parked car. Joshua Yeah. How old were you? I was five, six. Think I've never heard this story.
Yeah. Oh, new story. Happens when I get left in cars. Oh, see. When I get left in cars, I don't do that.
I would I did what this guy in the video does where you just hide from everyone. Because you don't want to yeah. Yeah. What are you hiding from? From people walking by.
What if they see me in a car? In a car. What? As a kid? What if they're gonna kidnap me?
Oh, as my mom said, only till they get you in the light, then they'll let you go. This is my upbringing left in the car. Trying to run away. Is that why I was trying to drive a race car. I'm impressed that you got it into neutral.
Did you push on the clutch, Enzo? I mighta it might have just been left running in neutral, and I put the emergency breakdown. It could've been something that easy. I don't remember the details other than I crashed the car. Pretty bad.
Well Is it pretty bad crash? Rolled back. It just rolled into another car. I don't think it was I don't think it was enough speed for anything that really bad happened. And there was probably nobody in the other car.
I Can you like, what are what was the order you gave when that happened? I'm moving. I have no idea. I like, that the majority of the story, I remember being retold more than I remember being involved myself. It's probably never happened.
It's just made up. No. I'm sure it did. Or it was probably your sister who did it. And then And then I got brainwashed into believing it was me.
They gasped what you into thinking it was you. That's right. It wasn't me. I like where this is going. This is good.
I think that's funny. Yeah. I never, hid in the car like that. Oh, I did. Nah.
People coming. I don't. Nah. You'd lay down on the back seat No. Or on the floor?
That's weirder. No. It's not. Yeah. Because if they walk by and look in and there's some kid laying on the Who's gonna walk by?
You ever walk by a car and look in? That's weird. Why I'm saying why are you hiding? Because you think people are walking by looking in. So do something weird.
Act normal. Nothing normal ever happens when someone says act normal. You immediately go the weirdest thing you can think of. I forgot how to human immediately. Everyone act normal.
Yeah. Okay. That's because there is no normal. Right. Isn't it?
Yeah. Nobody can be normal because there is no normal. Okay. Put that on a shirt. I'm no stranger to weird Internet algorithms.
You remember, it thinks, for a long time that I was super into RC cars and trains. Yeah. About the trains. Oh, it's so weird. And pickles?
Oh, and pickles. Yeah. Why does the Internet think I'm into pickles? Well, here's the latest. It thinks I want to join the Batman Collectors from 1989 to 1997.
It thinks I should be a part of the Honda snowblower enthusiasts group. Hey. I don't own one, nor would I be an enthusiast. Because you know what it looks like? A bunch of pictures of people's snow that they've piled up with their snowblowers.
Like, wow. You're not enthused about that? I'm not really. I could be enthused about that. Look at all this snow from my Honda snowblower.
Yeah. Neat. Back to the Future Belgium. Hey. No.
Now this one, this one I could potentially Time out. Be interested. The school back to the future Belgium. I'm not going in there. They post seven posts a day, and it has 80, 3,800 members.
I'm not gonna be a part of back to the future Belgium. Thirty Eight Hundred members? Yeah. Josh, you gotta go check it out. Thanks.
I'm gonna look it up. Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtle collector lair. You like that one. Here is a doll. I could be into that.
I'm not a collector, though. I don't like the word lair. That's that's a, a reference to the show because they're underground lair. Right? In the sewers.
You're Idaho enthusiast of them. Hey. Which has 21,000 members. And and you know what those posts are? I can already tell you what's going on in that group.
What? What bird is this? What bird is this? That's that's what's going on in that group. I'm telling you right now.
I don't even have to think about it. What bird is this? Hold on. Hold on. Hold on.
I went into back to the future Bel Belgium. Yeah. I have to join before I can see anything. I I don't There's nothing going on in there. Nine new posts just today.
That's what I'm saying. I don't need that. 800 members. It's for all Back to the Future fans in Belgium and around the world. Okay.
Good. Microsoft Flight Simulator 2024. Three hundred and '80 '4 thousand 348,000 members. A community for everybody. Isn't there?
Yeah. There's it thinks I should join the pellet stoves group. You don't have a pellet stove. No kidding. Also, pellet stove troubleshooting and repair group.
What's what are some posts in that group? I I'm I don't wanna click on it because then it's gonna think I'm interested. I I will. What's it called? It's called Pellet stove troubleshooting and repair.
It's 13,000 members in there. You know what's going on in there? What? What's wrong with my stove? Dang it.
I can't I have to join before I can see that one too. Alright. This one I'm kind of into. 34,000 members. Everybody would be showing pictures of where they tie their flies.
It's called fly tying spaces. Oh. And the the cover photo for that group is pretty immaculate. That's a good looking space. What else does it want me to join?
Hold on. What's that one called? Fly tying, one word, spaces. Okay. Fly tying spaces.
Mhmm. How are you seeing all of this? Oh, these are suggested groups that Facebook thinks I need to be a part of. K. I think you should join one.
And then when you get in there. You know what would be funny is if I joined Idaho birding with the goal of getting kicked out, and every time somebody said, what bird is this? I'd go, it's a duck. That's a duck. Every time somebody says, what bird is this?
Oh, it's clearly a duck. Oh, social experiment. Yeah. How long how long until Josh gets kicked out of the Idaho birding group by saying that's a duck? That's all I'm gonna say.
What is this? It's a duck. I I don't know why that makes me laugh so hard. That is hilarious. I might join that one.
Please do. See so I just clicked on it. I can see posts. Okay. Twenty minutes ago, Ken posted pictures of a duck.
No. It looks like a duck to me. What's what's the name of the group again? Idaho birding. Idaho birding.
Yeah. If you join that group and just say duck for every bird picture, I will come behind you and troll. No. Because, like, on the ones that they don't say what bird is this, I could just say great looking duck. That's an owl.
Great looking duck. What a cool duck. That's a blue duck. That's clearly like a bird of prey. That's a Cooper's hawk.
No. It's not. That's a duck. I think I'd get kicked out pretty quick. Hey.
We have some friends that are in this group. Yeah. I know. Saw a post, and it was liked by somebody that we know. I know.
Oh, no. She's gonna catch on to us. Look at that bald duck. No. That's a it's an eagle.
No. It's not. It's so dumb, but so funny. That's a duck. Take two things, and I put them in a jar, and I shake them around.
One thing gets chosen by me. Sometimes you choose the same. It's would you rather this today. It's a terrible jingle. It's a workshop.
It's it's on that. Nah. It's a rough draft. It's it's rough. Would you rather have a self driving car that lets you catch some extra sleep on the way to work or reading or listening to a podcast or whatever it is that you wanna do.
You just have some free time on your way to work if you have a self driving car or a bicycle that gets you everywhere in half the time. Self driving car. I'm picking that too because there are places I don't wanna be in half the time. Well, there's that, but there's also, I'd be on time to things. Forget about that.
Yeah. And then also, elements. Like, I'm I'm not in a heated car. I'd be on a bicycle this morning. But if it takes you twenty minutes to get here, it would only take you ten.
So you'd only be in the elements for Half the time. Do you let me let me draw you a diagram No. I don't need to write down. The time means. No.
What would you do with all your free time in your self driving car? Well, if it only takes about seven minutes to get here, I've got three and a half minutes, so it's not extra sleep. But I just wouldn't have to focus on driving, so I could probably check my emails on the way. Ew. I'd get ready I'd I'd be doing work stuff to prep for work stuff.
Ew. Yeah. Why? Well, that's what I'd have to get done. Oh, I would not.
You know? I don't clock into work and clock clock into work. That's a lie. Clock into work. But I'm certainly if I have extra time on my drive here, I'm not using it to check emails.
Well First thing in the morning, you gotta clear that inbox. Yeah. That's why my email inbox has right now 17 emails. Oh, this one I'm done with, 16. Your life is Your done.
Your life is exciting. That one's done, so I'm gonna go ahead and close that. Now I'm down to 15 emails. Oh. I have 15 emails right now in my inbox, and I'm I have more I can clean out.
Oh, good. Yeah. Happy to hear. Would you rather this or that? Whale?
Whale? Whale? Yeah. We made it. We made it through.
We got a late start, and we've survived, and now we're, here at the end of it. So And your voice sounds almost back to normal. I mean, it it certainly woke up, so that's good news. It was it was a struggle at 6AM to try to even push my voice out. It was very, very hard.
