It is Josh and Chantel. Hey. It is us. It's Wednesday. What's going on?
It's Wednesday, my dudes. I mean, everybody knows it's Wednesday. I don't know why we still say that. Like, why do we do that? I know what day it is.
I knew what day it was when I woke up. Why do we go, hey. It's Wednesday. That's a silly thing. You and me?
Just people in general. Oh. I But but especially like like, it makes sense on the podcast when we go, hey. This show is from Wednesday, February 26. And because you might just you might just act you know, be rolling through them.
And you might go, oh, I don't know what what day the show is from. Oh, it's from Wednesday, February 26. Necessarily matter either, does it? No. Just enjoy the show.
Okay. But unless we talk about something, really relevant to the to the day, I think. But but the fact that we just say, hey. It's Wednesday. Yeah.
Hey. It's a Tuesday. Hey. Hey. Hey.
Like, everybody knows. Right? Well No. I'm just saying in general. Don't say it.
That was a strange thing we do. I won't say it again. I said it's Wednesday, my dudes, which makes me wonder if that's still a cool thing to say. I'll ask the Internet. I bet it is because I always know what's cool and what's happening.
So I bet it still is. Well It's Wednesday. My dudes. Everyone knows it's Wednesday. Right.
I that's I don't think how the song goes. Who is creeping out? No. The middle of the week. That's it.
Who's creeping out from underneath the stairwell? Yeah. The middle of the week. And then you had, they call it hump day, and you had that whole camel, commercial. Yep.
Yeah. Can you guess what day it is? That guy. Let's see. Well, what is going on today?
Do you have any idea? Do I know? I do not know. I haven't even looked. Maybe I should look.
Maybe I should be prepared. Right. Are you a big fan of the thermos? What? Yep.
Is it thermos day? Yes. It is. Oh, good for us. I don't know if it's the birthday of the thermos, but before Yetis and all of the other trendy mugs, they're standing alone in that brilliant green and silver chrome was the thermos.
The thermos. Mhmm. My dad had one of those. Did he ever wash it? I don't know.
I don't know. I have one of those. You do? Yeah. That that is the greatest, vessel for hot chocolate on a sledding trip ever.
It's true. Because it comes with its own cup. It does indeed. Its lid doubles as a cup. Good invention.
Mhmm. There will never be another invention as great as the thermos. Look at that. Wow. What a bold statement.
Internet? Nah. Who needs it? The vehicle, the car? No way.
No. That Forget about it. Thermos. I use it every day. You know you don't.
No. I don't. The Stanley Classic. What a what a what a look. Thermos brand.
I was trying to see if if I could find their birthday. Nineteen o four Really? Is when the original Thermos brand was founded in Germany. How about it? How about it?
Now they is that sort of like Frisbee? What do you mean? Thermos. Kleenex. Okay.
Are we just naming brands? No. No. Where everyone calls it a thermos. Oh, I see.
I But thermos is a brand. It's like Formica. Right. It's not it's not all called Formica. Laminate.
That's a real, like, niche, niche. That's a real niche one. Niche? Yeah. The one you pulled out.
The Formica what? Yeah. Like, I pulled out Kleenex and Frisbee. You're over here Formica. What are we talking about?
I kinda The thermos. Okay. Still? We spend a lot of time talking about the thermos. Not really.
We spend a lot more time talking about Wednesday, my dudes. And Wednesday has Alright. Enough. Enough. Enough.
Yep. Tooth fairy payouts are dropping. Hey, good. Hey, good? I guess.
Well, not good for kids losing their teeth. Well, look. It. How many teeth you got in that head? I don't I don't know.
Me? I have all of my teeth. No. I know. I'm just, I think, it's gotta be, yeah, 20 or 20 baby teeth.
20 baby teeth? That's what I'm saying. Well, let me tell you this. In '2 '20 '20 '3, so two years ago Sure. Payouts tooth fairy payouts at an all time high of $6.23 per tooth.
Tooth fairy was rolling. I know. Then I think maybe the tooth fairy was like, I don't have this much money anymore. So then it dropped to just about $5.01 per tooth. Okay.
So about a dollar? I mean, business is dropping a lot. So, hey, kids. Pay attention because you're not gonna give as much money as you thought. The first tooth that you lose is pretty probably, the biggest payout is what this is saying.
So your tooth your first tooth that falls out, you get paid roughly about $6.24. But then that drops. Uh-huh. Yep. Every tooth that you lose gets dropped more and more.
I think if if you saved it all, I mean, you'd still be looking at about a hundred or a hundred and $20 Yep. That's true. Average. Do you remember what the tooth fairy used to bring you? The only thing I really remember, was that our house got broken into, and my tooth fairy money, I had stored in a little pencil bag, and it got stolen.
Oh, no. Yeah. Is that true? That is very true. Who steals tooth fairy money?
Terrible people. Terrible people. Yeah. Yeah. No.
That did happen. That's so sad. Is that a new story? You didn't know that I know. Our house had gotten broken into?
No. Yeah. And they they stole my, my tooth fairy money out of my little, pencil bag. It was a little zippered pencil bag. It was like a plastic, black plastic one, anyway.
And they, they stole it, and they left the bag on the washer and dryer. And the money was gone. My whole $6 a tooth that I was saving up for I don't know. Who knows? How old were you?
First grader, younger. That's so sad. Yeah. Here's what happens with these stories that I don't think I've heard. Either I have heard them and I've just forgotten, or I haven't heard them at all.
That's a pretty that's a pretty random one. That is a random one. So I don't know that that would have ever come up in conversation, at least not in the past twenty years. I'm sorry about your tooth fairy money, Josh. That has to be sad.
It doesn't happen. No. I know. Sure. I mean, they stole other stuff too.
Doesn't matter. Nothing was as important as your tooth fairy money. You worked hard for that. I know. I know.
You gave away a part of yourself. Yeah. I got nothing. Did the tooth fairy ever, forget to come pay a visit? I don't not that I remember.
Oh, I know. In our house, the tooth fairy has failed to make a couple visits when our kids lost teeth. She's she's busy. There's a lot of She was There's 20 teeth per head Yeah. And a lot of kids.
She's busy sometimes. Yes. It's the way it goes. We always used to tell our kids because our kids would ask what the tooth fairy does with teeth when she gets them. I don't know.
You used to say she made furniture out of them. Yeah. Why not? We don't know what she does. Jewelry, furniture.
This guy has lemon. Jars and jars of teeth. I don't know. I really don't know. I feel like when I got paid by the tooth fairy, it was not $5.
I think I got at most a buck, but I'm I'm talking cents. I probably got, like, $50.75 cents. The tooth fairy, I feel like I got ripped off. Well, I don't know. May maybe it was different in the eighties.
Bucks a tooth? I know. Here's according to, folks, this is this is what happens with the teeth. Tooth fairy has said to use the teeth as bricks to build her castle. So I wasn't far off.
I bet you guys huge castle. That she grinds the teeth in a magical fairy dust. Uh-huh. Quite possible. Maybe that's where it comes from.
Yeah. Jewelry is on the list. Planting new teeth. Planting ground to help new teeth grow. Ah.
It's where new teeth come from. Interesting. And the teeth may be sent up to the sky to become stars. There's a lot of different things that I don't know, but I'm learning. Sorry about your tooth fairy money, bro.
I'll it's fine. But, hey, they left your pencil case. Oh, boy. Madrid, Spain is where we're gonna go for good news today. Can we go there for real?
That'd be fun. Firefighters in Madrid saved the day in a big way. What'd they do? They came to the rescue of a goat who was stranded on a Fifth Floor window ledge outside a vacant apartment. Oh, how did he get up there?
No one knows how the goat got on the window ledge, but the goat was lucky to have a neighbor that spotted him up there and called the fire department to help. Firefighters, carefully did, their best to not startle the goat, with any sudden movements. They used carrots and lettuce to lure him to safety, and their care and expertise paid off. The goat eventually stepped onto a nearby safer balcony, and he was taken to the Madrid Emergency Veterinary Service for Care while authorities attempted to locate the goat's owner. Did they find the goat's owner?
Couldn't tell you. Oh, they lured him away with lettuce and carrots? Yep. It's gonna take a lot more than that to lure me away. He's a small goat, but he is dangerously standing on, like, an air conditioner outside of a window.
Goat. Yeah. Buddy. Really super spooky. It's crazy to watch, and he was five floors up.
So that dude was, not in good shape. He just wanted to be like his little, mountain goat friends. I don't know if he did. He saw he saw a documentary and saw them standing on little steep cliffs and was like, I can do that. I'm a crazy goat.
I think he probably just got lost and was like, oh, no. Yeah. Now I don't know how to make it out. It's just a red brick building with air conditioners and balconies. I'm sure he just jumped over and then was there, but but he didn't live there.
So that's the the confusing part is how did the goat get up five floors and then onto balconies and then stranded on that air conditioning unit near that balcony. It's crazy. Get out of there, goat. Yeah. It's wild.
So, anyway, he's doing good. Good deal. And, and well done firefighters in Madrid for saving that goat. I love it. How's the goat spine?
That's right. Quit wandering away, goat. It's good news. Where is he living now? The goat?
Oh, he just went to the vet. And then But then trying to find his owner. I don't know. Oh, okay. I don't know if you microchip your goats.
I don't know how that works. It's good news to get you going. You know that anglerfish? Yes. That The the black one that swam from the bottom of the depths of the ocean up to the surface.
So that he was called a black sea devil. Yeah. That happened, what, two weeks ago? And I I believe it's a female. The the males don't look like that.
Oh, okay. But, anyway yeah. And surprisingly small fish. Yeah. Have you seen the pictures of the diver next to it?
Yes. Like, the video that you see, the fish looks massive because of the framing, and it's really, really cool. But when you see the picture of the the fish in the diver's hand and you see the the fish next to the diver, it's not very big at all. No. It's teeny teensy.
Very, very small. Which is that how big all anglerfish are? I don't know. And because of the way they're filmed and because they're so scary looking, you think they're huge, but they're really maybe only that big? I don't know.
I don't either. Okay. So that happened, what, like, two weeks ago, I think, is when that first hit the Internet. I still am getting in my algorithms. Like, people are making poems and different kinds of artwork about this little angler face.
Incredible. And that makes me some of the poems that I've read are so nice and beautiful that I've gotten a little bit teary eyed over silly little fish. Yeah. The the one that that really got me was where they said, and on my last day, I shall see the sun, which I thought was such a that was such a special thing because I don't know what the fish was actually up to. But but, yeah, swam to the surface and then died, which is crazy.
Like, that's just what happened. Died because the water pressure is so different from what she's used to? Did they know the cause of the death? I really don't know. They can be anywhere from a few inches to over four feet long.
So they they do get much larger than than this one was. And there are different species of anglerfish as well. I just know that that silly little anglerfish is still making me cry a little bit. Alright. I've seen some really, really nice poems about her.
And I go, that's nice. They are carnivorous. In some species, the males are parasitic and attach themselves to the females. So Say that again. In some of the species of anglerfish, the males are parasitic and attach themselves to the female.
Really? Uh-huh. Losers. Cook is your own life. Yeah.
No. I'll just be hanging around. I'll make you do all the work. I'm just gonna attach myself to you. Yeah.
I don't even swim for myself anymore. I'll just be here. You parasite. Get out of here. That's probably why she swam to the surface.
She couldn't get away from a man. She was like, this guy. I gotta get away. Yeah. I'm going to see the sun.
Maybe that'll get him to leave me alone. Did you, have one of the poems or anything you wanna share about it? If I read it, it'll make me cry. Oh, I see. Alright.
That's fair enough. Oh, man. I'm a sensitive little thing. I know, but it's a sweet little story. It's a sweet little fish.
What was the one you said on her last station? And on my last day, I shall see the sun. Yeah. And I went, man, that's so nice. It is so nice.
So nice. And that was weeks ago, and you're still you're still getting stuff. Still getting stuff in my algorithms. It's like, oh, remember that anglerfish? And I go, yeah.
I do. Yeah. Yeah. Look at read this thing. Uh-huh.
No. I can't. Well, I'm I'm glad that, that the Internet is doing something creative and useful. That's Actually, I really That's nice. I do like it.
I I think it's interesting to see people's different creativity and their different Right. I don't know. And really, in all reality, it is probably nothing that beautiful as some of these people think it is. She's probably just like, I got pushed up here by, like, different water currents, and now I'm dead. No.
No. I'm dead. That's my poem. That is a nice one. Well done.
So you heard the news that Joanne's, is, what are they called? Joanne Fabrics and stuff? What what are what's their official name? I like Joanne. Joanne.
Fabric and stuff. Yeah. Joanne, the the craft and fabric and sewing and Is it just called Joanne? Joanne. Yeah.
Interesting. It's just called Joanne. Right. Like There is no apostrophe s. Everyone just calls it Joanne's.
Interesting. But it's just Joanne. Anyway, if you if you have or haven't heard, they filed for bankruptcy for the second time in less than a year back in January. And, just after that announcement, retail experts predicted that a flood of closures would follow, and they did confirm that they were going to close about 500 of their 800 stores, which is a big deal when It's a big deal. You only have 800 stores in the whole country, and you're gonna close well over half of them, and be left with 300.
Two Idaho locations were listed in that original thing Uh-huh. That we're going to close. That was gonna be the Federal Way, location in Boise and the Palouse Mall in Moscow. Those Moscow. Those, were the two that we're going to close in the original 500, of the 800.
Well so people across the rest of the state of Idaho, because there are eight locations in Idaho. Okay. Across the rest of the state, people are like, yay. Awesome. We're not gonna have ours closed.
Well, that all changed, and Joanne recently updated this, this statement saying, that they plan a comprehensive sale process and auction. They have, a bunch of their assets that are going to be acquired by another group. Oh, man. And they're going to now close all locations across the entire country. What a bummer deal.
I know. The big deal about this is that customers, who have gift cards that they need to use at Joanne Uh-huh. They have, two days. Two days? They will no longer be accepting gift cards after February 28.
Oh, no. So if you have a Joanne gift card A Joanne. Yeah. I know. It's weird.
Right? It's weird to say Joanne. If you have a Joanne gift card, you haven't better use it. The end of the day, February 28, to use that thing. They've also stopped taking returns and have discontinued personalized discounts and discounted partnerships that they had with certain groups like teachers and the girl scouts.
Oh, no. They are liquidating. There will be going out of business sales happening. But if you have a gift card for Joanne, use it before February 28. I think they gave Girl Scouts a couple of days.
Kind of cool. Yeah. Oh, man. Yeah. That's another reason that's sad to see them go.
I know. So the Hurley Drive Pocatello location, the, the Hit Road location in Idaho Falls, the Blue Lakes Boulevard, Twin Falls location, the Nampa, the Coeur D'Alene, the two Boise's, and the Moscow One here in East Central. They could forget, but they won't. So any That's where I get all my notions. You're gonna have to go get your notions.
Somewhere else? Go stock up on your notions. I gotta go get some I gotta go stock up on some notions and some batting and They did say they were gonna try to keep their online stuff going for a while, for a while. I don't think it will be forever, but they but they do have plans to try and keep the website going for a little while. But, anyway, that's the deal.
I'm bummed. It's always sad when you see a store that you shop at go away, but then I always still feel sad for the employees that work there. I know. That makes me sad. I know.
They do plan on keeping their website and their app active online for shoppers throughout the entire liquidation process. Since they don't have court approval yet, they simply said that it will take a number of weeks to complete our final sales. But, again, if you have a gift card, the big deal is that if you have You have a gift card? Free Joann money, use it before February 28. That is only a couple of days.
I want free Joanne money. Well, I can't help you there. They're not selling new gift cards. But, anyway, there you go. That's that's the update on Joanne.
Okay. Without an s. On Joanne. Thanks, Joanne. Oh.
I know. I'm sad to see you go, Joanne. You know how you can, do a grocery pickup? I I have never done it. Right?
Never done it either. And I at first, I was kind of, I don't know, not a averse to it, but I I was like, I can do my own shopping. I don't need like, I appreciated the convenience of it. Sure. Busy moms are using it all the time.
And I liked it for them, but I was like, no. I'm not in a position where I can't do my own shopping. And I prefer to go do my own shopping. I like to see I don't like to see what's new, but you like to see what's new. I like to I like to get my own produce and stuff.
But Yeah. It was a busy week last week, and I said, I gotta go to the grocery store, but I just don't have time to do it. So what I'm gonna do is try that grocery store pickup. So I logged into our grocery store, which, by the way, I tried to log in. We've got a rewards thing.
I tried to log in. I use that my number all the time when we check out in person. Right. It would not accept my phone number. That's weird.
What are you doing over there? I'm catching up on a few things. That is strange that it won't. I was trying to see I have the app. Oh, so I find the But I yeah, I did still.
Your phone number, and it worked for your phone number. But I went, that's still That's not tied to our rewards, though. It was tied to our rewards, your rewards, but not the one that we typically use. So I was annoyed by that. And then I said, oh, I need some bananas.
So I grabbed some bananas, put some bananas in there K. And a couple of other things. And then when I went to look at my cart, it had one banana for 68¢. And I went Why did we have a banana? Want one banana.
I want a whole lot of bananas. Oh, interesting. So how do you tell it you want six or seven bananas? I think you have to say, I want six or seven bananas. Interesting.
And then they're gonna walk over to the produce, and they're gonna pick six or seven bananas? But you can pick one banana for 68¢. Yeah. I'm logged into the proper profile on my app. Well, I tried to do it on the computer, and it wouldn't let me.
Anyway, there was a couple of other things, and I was like, I hate this. Well, some of the things that I was looking for, they didn't have maybe it's different on the app. But when I was trying to do it online on the computer, there was things like it was a like, a nationwide store, not a specific to our region store. Interesting. And so there were things that I couldn't find, and I went, I hate this.
This is dumb. I'm just gonna go to the store and do it myself. That works out, doesn't it? I I was just trying to see. Like, there's there is a shopping list with zero items on it.
There's nothing on it. K. Do you you have the that's the app that you're looking at? Yeah. Do I have the app?
I don't know. Like, I can see all of our fuel points. Like, I can see all that stuff. Yeah. Yeah.
I do I do it all in the app. But you'll remember you were really annoyed with me because I was at the store when I decided I was gonna try and get the app and log in because they do digital coupons. And so as you're shopping, you can scan the items, and it'll tell you if there's a coupon or whatever or if there's a thing that says, you know, scan the app to get this deal. So I have that. And then you just attach the coupons to your phone number.
And then instead of having to scan coupons when you check out, when you put in your phone number, it just adds all the coupons from That's kinda nice. I know. So that's what I was trying to do, but I was trying to get logged in, and you were trying to, like, rush around in grocery shop or something. And I was like, hey. I need you to send me verification numbers from your phone while I'm trying to do this.
And I think, ultimately, you just handed me your phone. So I'm walking behind your cart with two phones trying to get logged in to the app. That isn't something that I know. Yeah. It does.
And I finally got logged in. And now I'm logged in, and you're trying to log in on the computer and can't. And that's It wouldn't let me honestly, it would not let me use my phone number even though my phone number is the one we use every time we go in. That's correct. I got so frustrated, and I said, forget this.
And I drove myself to the store, bought my name see if I can sign in right now. Because if it works If it works for you, I'm gonna be so mad at you. I'm also gonna tell you to get more than one banana. Let's see. Okay.
Signing in. Did it take it? Yeah. I'm in. Verify your email.
So it just sent you a confirmation. This is where I got on the phone. Go ahead and verify that email. I didn't get an email. Yes.
I did. There it is. So, yes, I was able to log in. This is whatever. It would not work.
I'm not kidding you. It says the site can't be reached. Oh, well, that sounds about right. Now I'm having problems again. Yeah.
It's because it sent it to your phone instead of mine. I shoulda had it send it to me. No. I got it. Get out of here.
I'm in. Sweet. Now I have the app too. Good job. I'll help you log in.
Should we try the grocery pickup? It's dinner party. I think I'll feel stupid if I'm just parked there in my car while somebody loads my groceries in my car. And I again, this is no shame on people who do this because I Yeah. You just think you'll feel awkward.
The convenience factor of it is, like, amazing. I get it. But I don't know. I feel like because I'm such a weird, awkward person, I will get out and be like, let me help. Yeah.
And they'll be like, no. Go sit. I think you can get out and open your trunk and stuff, and they'll put them in there. And then you can go, thanks so much, and drive away. Can you tip them?
I don't know. Thing? I don't know. I don't know. The person who loads them the same as the person who picked them?
I don't know. I didn't know very long. Bet not. I know that I got one banana. So if you want a bunch of bananas, you can't just order a bunch, at least not from the store that we shop.
I don't know how it works at other stores. Well, you probably have to specify. I need three bananas. Yeah. I need three bananas.
Yeah. I needed, like, six bananas because I like bananas. Okay. Not just one banana. One banana.
Two banana, three banana, four. We were doing some shopping the other day at the grocery store, and I said, oh, hey, Emery. I noticed that your face cleaner is running low. Do you need some more of that? And she said no.
I was standing in the aisle when you said, hey. Do you need more of that? And I said, oh, oil free acne wash, and then I kept walking because that was my contribution to that entire Cool. Experience. Cool.
Yeah. But I I remember that. And she says, no. I don't need more of that. I said Oil free acne face wash.
But I know that you're running low. But here's the thing about Emery. She and I share a bathroom. I mean, we all share this. We have two bathrooms in our house.
You and I don't have a master bathroom. So it's a it's a free for all for our bathrooms. But you and Beck typically use our basement shower, and me and Emery use our upstairs shower. So I know that her face wash is running low because I You see it. Used it on occasion.
Oh, is that right? I don't want her to know that I use it because I've gotten in trouble before for using it. Don't use her stuff. Well, she and I use the same brand. We just have a different there's a different Formula?
Yeah. There's a different flavor Okay. That each of us use. Same brand, same thing, but a different Yours yours is, like, a yellow color and hers is pink? Mine is blue.
Hers is pink. Okay. Okay. So I've used hers in the shower before, but but I don't want her to know because I've gotten in trouble before. So when she says, no.
I don't need them any, I said, yeah. You do. Because I know that you're out. So just get it. I go, are you sure?
She says, no. I have more. And I said, where? She said in her room. She keeps it in her room Uh-huh.
So that people don't use it. Uh-huh. That's right. She caught you. Which I think is rude.
I think she makes little marks on it so that she knows if you've used it. And then she goes, That's weird. I mark this every time, and there's there's less in it than when I marked it last time. So And it's not like I use it every day. There's just certain times where I go, ah, mine is by the sink Yeah.
Not in the shower. Yep. That makes sense. In the shower all the time, so it's easier just to grab hers. Not anymore, apparently.
Yeah. Nope. What's that about? And then I went, should I be annoyed? Because it's my money that pays for it, but also I can appreciate that she's like, hey.
This is my stuff. Don't use my stuff. But I don't use it very often. Often enough. I wouldn't be mad if she used mine.
That's rude. Okay. I mean, you know, this is the life of, a mom and a teenage daughter sharing a bathroom, So I'm sure this is not the first or last time things will get shared and somebody will say, hey. Don't use my stuff. It's just the way it's gonna be.
Ever said that. She just quietly hides it and says, oh, I'm just gonna keep this in my room. I just wanna make sure that, like, if somebody uses a screwdriver or a tape measure, they put it back where it came from. That's that's the only thing I care about. You know?
Yeah. Except the tape measure and the screwdriver are it's not like they live in a special spot. They have a home in the garage in my toolbox. I never see them in your home in the toolbox. You know where they don't belong is in some weird little cup in the basement.
I didn't put them in a cup in the basement. In a cup in the basement What? In your craft room, and it doesn't belong there. Mine. No.
That's my screwdriver. No. Why is it not Why is it in a cup? It's in a cup with a bunch of paintbrushes or something sitting on a shelf, which is not where it lives. I don't think I put it.
Borrowed from the garage and then got put away in the wrong spot. I don't think I put it there. And, also, how did you find it? Because I walked by and went, what's my screwdriver doing in that cup? I honestly don't know.
Mhmm. I have my own screwdriver. I wouldn't borrow yours. And also Your screwdriver is missing Yeah. And has been.
That's probably why I borrowed yours. Yeah. Because it guess what happened? No. We didn't put it out, and it didn't put it didn't put it away.
And then you went why? Oh, here we go. Here we go. I'm just asking to put things away. That's all.
I'm gonna get one of those pegboards with the spray paint shape of every item. You should. And I'll go, where is the screwdriver that fits in the spray painted area? You can get a fingerprint duster too. So you could say the last person is there are no fingerprints, I'll know it was you because of the hot glue incident.
Yeah. Yeah. Come on. Emery and I were somewhere. We were waiting for either you or Beck, but we were in the car waiting.
And then we were just each scrolling our phone, and I noticed a news story that said there's a new Uncrustable flavor. Oh, you love Uncrustables. I actually kinda do. I didn't for a long time, but I kinda do now. And so I said, Emery, there's a new Uncrustable flavor.
And she goes, what is it? And I was reading, reading, reading. You have to get, like, past all the sometimes when you read those stories, there's, like, a lot of fluff at the beginning, and you're like, just get me to the meat and potatoes. I finally got down to the new flavor, and I go, oh, it's peanut butter. Ew.
And Emery said They already have peanut butter. In all of them. Yeah. What are you talking about? I said, yeah.
You're right. It's just peanut butter? No. What is it? Wild berry.
Oh. The point of the matter is that I initially saw peanut butter, and I went, ew, peanut butter. Wild berry. The message or the story said, there's peanut butter and wild berry. I just didn't read that far.
So you just got to the part where it said, ew, peanut butter. Ew, peanut butter. So I'm looking, because I'm still logged in to our grocery shopping Are you? Website. Yeah.
Okay. They don't have wild berry there. They have That's okay. Every other flavor, though. They have, like do they have the hazelnut one?
They do. I wanna try that one. They also have the peanut butter and honey. Oh, I wanna try that one too. They have the peanut butter and strawberry, peanut butter and grape, and the peanut butter and raspberry.
Do they have a peanut butter and peanut butter? Nope. Nope. Nope. Because that's not a real thing.
Nope. And they don't have wild berry either. And then get this. I said, I'm gonna put that in show notes Yeah. So I can talk about it.
And Emery goes, make sure you put it in there so it's a one that you can remember. Uh-huh. Because that's a thing you do. You'll just write down peanut butter and crustable, and you'll go, what the what is this? What's that about?
I do have a coupon, where you can get the, four the four count pack of the peanut butter and honey ones for $2.99. You have a coupon for that? It's in the app. Look at you. I know.
That's what I was trying to show you. Okay. Let's try that pickup. Roughly pickup. Yeah.
Why not? I don't know. Why not? I've never done it. I haven't done it either.
Not to, like, totally derail your encrustable talk, but that's, that's something we could try. Do you okay. Here's what I know. You pick a time where you can pick it up too. Yeah.
So they don't even start shopping for your order until you're like, yeah. I'm gonna pick it up at 10:30. So you have to do a pickup. You have to spend at least $35, so you can't just do one banana. You have to do at least $35 worth of bananas.
And then, yeah, you can just do, delivery. You can do, free pickup. Yeah. They will do delivery as well. To your house?
Yeah. No way. Yeah way. That's so weird. Yeah.
What world are we living in sometimes? You have to give them at least, two hours, and, and then you can go pick up your stuff. Okay. And I think you have to set an appointment if I'm not I think so too. I think you have to set, like, a time that you're gonna pick it up.
Yeah. But, again, I've never done it. I haven't done it either. Well, that's it. We'll just try it.
See how it goes. What do we need? Do you have to spend how much? $30? 30 30 5.
That's easy to do. Buy one egg. Oh. When you were homesick from school when you were a kid Uh-huh. What'd you do?
Slept. And what else? He did not sleep. Nobody sleeps when they're home from school. That's what I was supposed to be doing.
Yeah. That's what you're supposed to be doing. Nobody actually does that. Laid on the couch And? Turned on Price is Right Exactly.
Fell asleep. That's exactly what you did. Today, the Price is Right airs its ten thousandth episode. Is that right? 10,000.
Thousandth. Drew Carey is the current host. Right? Correct. Yep.
75,000 people have been called to. Come on down. Yeah. My favorite, the kids and I found an old we were on vacation in November, and we found an old channel that was airing old episodes of The Price is Right, and it was awesome with Bob Barker. Bob Barker was a no nonsense kinda host.
He was like, get him up, get him out. He didn't have time. That's what you said. The people would would show up on the, on the stage, and they'd be he'd be like, let's play the game. Let's get you out of here.
Let's move it along. And he was very much that way. I haven't seen a lot of the episodes with Drew Carey in it. Yeah. So I can't I don't know what kinda host he is.
What do you think Drew Carey looks like? This is something that I saw the other day, and it and it might blow your mind a little bit. What do you mean? What do you think Drew Carey looks like? Now Or what I remember in my head?
When you think Drew Carey, what do you think? Because I know he's lost a lot of weight, so he doesn't look like what I remember him looking like. He's got thick, black rimmed glasses, and he's wears a suit sometimes. Alright. And he has hair.
Okay. And he's got a chuckle. Sure. I think all those things are true. Yeah.
He he doesn't necessarily wear the glasses, especially the dark rims anymore. Right. When he does wear glasses, he has clear rims Really? When he wears them, which is not all the time. That was a major part of sort of who he was younger.
But if you look up, Drew Carey twenty twenty four, just because we're kinda new into 2025, you'll see he, he he has aged. He has, lost, I don't wanna say a lot of weight, but he is certainly, thinner than he was and maybe you remember. Yeah. And if you haven't kept up with him on the show, you know, that's that's him. But, apparently, he is, as as I believe, they get called, one of the good ones.
And, he vacations with I'm trying to remember who he went on vacation with. But it was like a big girl's trip and Drew Carey. And they went to, like, Bora Bora or whatever it was. So I don't know where it was, but it was something to that effect. And it was like Drew and and all of the the lady friends.
And I think, that says something about someone's character when they're like, no. And we're bringing Drew. I don't think it's you got a Borobor. Think that's where it was. Probably was.
But when you see him not in like, in you you see him in a candid photo, it's it's wild. Like, you go, really? And I think it's on his Instagram, if I can remember correctly. Been the host of Price is Right for eighteen years. Is that real?
And it's in its fifty third season. Yeah. He's also a DJ. Like Eric Eric? Uh-huh.
That is true. Okay. So he I'm trying to see if he has hosted no. Bob Barker hosted for thirty five years. Okay.
And Drew Carey has now hosted for eighteen. So go look at the go look at just Google his Instagram. I get it. Look at his Instagram? Yeah.
And look at the the first picture that he has, on, on on his Instagram. And you'll go, that's Drew Carey? No. I just Google searched him. No.
I know. But you gotta go look at this one. Because that's where you're gonna see the picture. You're gonna go, that doesn't even look like the guy I even thought of. Alright.
Drew from TV on Instagram is, is is his thing. D r e w? Yep. From TV. From TV?
Yep. Drew from TV. How do you spell TV? Come on now. You know how to spell TV.
Woah. That's what I'm saying. You wouldn't you would not recognize him in a crowd. No. You wouldn't look at that and go you would not see that guy and go, that's Drew Carey.
Right. You would not. That's true. That's what I'm trying to say. How about that?
Yeah. He looks nothing like what you remember, and he only wears the glasses sometimes. I said he wears no. I said he wears suits sometimes, which is true. That is true.
Sometimes he wears suits. But, anyway, I enjoyed his show. I like the Drew Carey Show. I thought that was really good. We're not talking about that.
We're talking about The Price is Right because today is its anniversary. Happy anniversary, Price is Right. Episode. Yeah. It's cool.
I will get you through doing some kind of big They are. They're giving away $90,000. Come on. That's, that's pretty great. Price is right.
Yeah. And $90,000. Come on down to the ten thousandth episode of The Price is Right. That's incredible. Longest running game show.
It's a good one. Yeah. It is. I wish I could stay home sick from school today and watch Price is Right. Dang it.
Well, it comes on At eleven. At eleven. I knew it. Yeah. It's on at eleven.
That time slot hasn't changed since nineteen AM five. Ten AM Pacific. Eleven AM mountain. That's cool. That makes me happy that it's still on at the same time.
It always came on at the same time as, my mom was a days of our lives watcher and the young and the restless. So we had to when I was home sick, she had to take a hit and not watch. Oh, because you were gonna watch The Price is Right? Don't feel good. I gotta watch The Price is Right?
Get away with not watching Young and the Restless for one day. Nice one, Josh. Alright. I dig it. Good job.
I watched a lot of that show. So did I. Let's go, watch it at eleven. We got a we got an appointment. Yeah.
We got a date. We got a Price is Right at eleven. Sounds good. We get some perks with this job. Oh, like what?
What are you thinking? I don't know. What are some perks that you've gotten before? In, like, my whole career? Yeah.
Oh, I guess there's been, like, times where there's, events or things happening. Like, I've I don't know. I've been able to go see some things. I've been able to meet some, some musicians and some people. I think that's kinda fun.
That is fun. Most of it's work related, though. So it's weird to call it a perk when, like, yeah, I get to go to the thing, but I'm also, like, there to represent, the station, or I'm there to represent, you know, the show or whatever. So it's it's it's still technically work even though it might be cool. It is.
Yeah. Ben and Jerry's. If you're an employee at Ben and Jerry's Okay. You get three free pints of ice cream every day. That's a lot of ice cream.
They also get a free gym membership. That also is a smart thing to come with your ice cream. Ice cream with a side of cardio. That sounds about right. Three free pints.
Yeah. That's a lot of ice cream every day. If if they did, like, three free pints once a month, I feel like that's more but every day, three free pints every day. Every day. But that's if you want, which I would imagine look.
If they said you get three free things that you make every day, you might be like, hey. That's great. I only wanna grab, like, maybe one or two a month or something just because I'm not, I'm not crazy. But if it's like, hey. We'll put out a new flavor, and you wanna share it with somebody or you want other people to try it, you might say, hey.
Yeah. I'm gonna grab three of those things so I can share it and and spread the love. You know? When I was in high school, one of my high school jobs was a pizza silver screen pizza and video. Yeah?
It doesn't exist anymore. It was in Paul. It was in Paul, Idaho. Yeah. But they had a slushie machine.
Uh-huh. And you could get a free drink. Does a free drink count as a soda, or does it count as a slushie? I don't know. Do you think they went out of business because you you charged too many slushies?
I don't think so. I certainly hope that. Do you think that after you left, they were like, who's been eating all the slushie? We can't even stay in business now. I've worked at places before too where you get a little bit of a discount Sure.
On supplies there. Or food. Like, I've I've worked in food where you get a little bit of a discount on your order. Like, when I was in high school and I was working at Burger King, that was a deal then. I don't know if it still is, but you would get a little bit of a discount.
What was always fun is, like, you can't make your own food. They won't let you do that because you might, like, over portion yourself, take advantage. Yeah. And so you have to, like, order it, like, on the customer side of the counter. Or you would say, hey.
Hurry and take my order. I'm gonna go on my lunch break. And then you'd put it in, and then you'd go put your stuff down while your food was made, then you go sit in the lobby and eat or whatever. I see. But, yeah, you got a little bit of a kickback.
That was nice. It is always kinda nice. Yeah. It was always weird when your friends would show up, though, when you were working, and they'd be like, who who gets up with some fries or something? You're like, I can't just do that.
Like, I don't have, like, a free fry button. What are you talking about? My friend's never showed up at my high school job because it was in Paul. Yeah. And that's, in the middle of nowhere.
I don't know. I don't think I've ever been to Paul. You've never been to Paul? I don't think I've ever been to Paul, Idaho. Be there.
Let's see. How far away Oh, jeez. We're gonna Google this? It's like it was, like, ten minutes away. That's not very far.
It wasn't very far. But five miles. If you lived in Burley, you weren't just gonna drive to Paul to see your friend working at the video store. It's five miles. You weren't gonna do that.
They weren't gonna do that. It's it was longer for someone to drive across town to come to the Burger King I worked at. Well, point of the matter is nobody came to visit me. Sad. Maybe, I was gonna I was gonna say maybe it's because you didn't have friends, but I know you did.
I knew you had friends. Yeah. I had friends. I know. I was gonna be rude, and I decided not to.
Then I still said the thing. Anyway We were talking about perks. We weren't even talking about friends. How rude of you. Yeah.
Friends are a perk. Friends are a perk. You're a jerk. Fun. It's fun.
I could use a slushie from my old job. I was it was it an was it a slushie, or was it an icy? Was it an actual slushie? No. They said you could get a free drink, but then they had a slush puppy machine.
Was it a real slush puppy machine? Yes. It really was. It really was. Oh, man.
That was the best. I remember getting that job and going, this is the best job ever. It was a real slush puppy. Yes. I'm just making sure because there's a big difference between slushies It wasn't a slushie because I don't like slushies, but I like slush puppies.
Slush puppies have more, mix in Yeah. Than and their ice is much finer Yeah. Than an ICEE. Bro, I know what it was. Because the ICEE is kinda foamy.
Do you know what I mean? Yeah. And I don't like this. That. I don't care for that.
And it's also puppy. Okay. That was a good perk. And you're sure it was a real slush puppy machine. When I say to you ASMR, what do you think?
Annoyed. That's that's the first word that comes to mind. If I was playing the word association game, you would say ASMR, and I'd say, I'm annoyed. But what type of ASMR makes you annoyed? All of it.
I don't like the food noises. I don't like the fingernails clicking on stuff. I don't like the I don't like the little whispering thing. I don't like the weird ear shaped recording device they made for ASMR recording. I don't care for it.
Let me try and persuade you. Okay. Well, let me tell you what ASMR I do like. Okay. Here we go.
Because I found some ASMR. I don't care for the I don't hate them, but I'd it's not something I actively search out, the food and the fingernails and the whisker. Don't like a lot of, like, people will just drag their fingers over stuff to make it go. It drives me crazy. Okay.
The ASMR ASMR. Okay. I'm all about, which is literally I there is a couple. I like nature. Like, just video just be quiet.
Just be quiet. Set up a microphone in the woods and record the noise of nature. I saw some snow and ice ASMR the other day. Ice would crack and stuff. That could be interesting.
It was so cool. And it's just people walking through, like, garden snow. Like that. The little little footsteps. No.
I do. No. I could do without that. I just wanna hear nature. I don't wanna hear humans.
I wanna hear not humans. Okay. K? Unless it's this other type of ASMR that both you and I sort of enjoy, which is, people film being silent walking through cities. They just have a camera and they just walk and explore and they walk around, you know, city blocks or whatever.
And you'll they'll sometimes look at street food vendors and watch them making stuff like in Thailand and stuff like that. I like that. That's just a busyness of human noise. One person walking in the snow or a couple people or somebody whispering, I don't care for it. I don't know about it with the Just the noise of ambiance, that's what I like.
Try the snow thing because I like it. I don't know. I don't like the I can now already hear the footsteps in it. It. I don't like it.
Oh, I do. Well, you can listen to it in your headphones by yourself. That's fine. I did. I did.
Yesterday. Good for you. And there was people walking through across ice. Okay. And then it would just crack.
Right. And there are different levels of ice. And so there was, like, thin ice that made a different cracking noise, and there was thicker ice that cracked more like glass. Oh, I liked it. Like, this one I just pulled up here, and I gotta wait for this ad.
But this is one I just found on YouTube that is, nature sounds in a snowy forest Yeah. With no talking. Just Hear that. Yeah. I like it.
Do you? Yes. I don't care for it. Plus, I can hear that dude breathing, and I don't like that. I don't care for that.
But then I think about, like, leaves crunching. Okay. I haven't seen any videos of ASR leaf crunching. This is someone this is someone out in nature. No music.
No talking. But they've got their fingernails, and they're touching rocks. What is that? I don't need to hear your fingernails clicking on a rock. What are you doing?
You also like to do Ugh. You like dudes It could be a a lady too, but most often, it's a dude that camp by themselves. Yeah. Solo camping stuff, and they don't them setting up their foot. Yeah.
You just the like, they're and they're doing food prep, and they're doing, like, just make normal noises. No one goes around clicking their fingernails on stuff. It's weird. Quit it. Let me hear those acrylic nails drag across that lava rock.
Do you like this? No. I don't care for it. It's not it's not relaxing. What if I do it on my cup?
No. I don't like it at all. You kinda do. I no. Zero.
Zero likes. What about this one? Oh, it's stuck. Hold on. Yeah.
No. No. Stop. When I go shopping with you and our daughter, what's the deal with you two running away from me and thinking it's hilarious? Because it is hilarious.
Is it? Is it? But also you're both short people? Yes. We can hide under No.
I can see the tops of your heads around the thing. And so when How can you see the tops of our head if we're short? Because you're no. Listen to me. You think you're hiding behind stuff, but I can see you over the top of stuff, and you can't see me because you're below it is what I'm trying to say.
So when you think you're being sneaky, hiding in the aisles, and then you run and you're like, we'll sneak back around. I can see where you're going, and then I just cut you off. And then you turn the corner and you went, oh, you found it. So I'm like, yeah. I could see you the whole time.
You're not that much taller than us. Tall enough to see you over the top of the thing, and you can't see me. Aren't you cool? This happened. We were shopping, at at Ulta, and you guys decided to be silly and run away from me.
Here's what I wanna talk about at Ulta. Emery needed to go there. Yeah. I don't there's one thing I need there that they don't sell at any of the other stores. Your Frankenstein makeup.
Yeah. My yeah. To reduce the redness. It's green. It comes in a green container.
It it is Frankenstein makeup. Doesn't make my skin green. It just balances out the redness in my face. Uh-huh. That's the only thing I do does?
Emery yeah. Emery shops there. Before we went to Ulta, she said I need to go to Ulta, and then she checked her balance on her debit card. Correct. And then we go to Ulta, and she has a handful of stuff.
Right. And I go, I know that particular item is cheaper at the other place that we shop. Uh-huh. I know that thing is cheaper at the other place that we shop at. All of her stuff, she can find at other places.
It's not like she needed to make a special visit. Yes. I think all of it. Anyway, we get to we get in line, and I go, I wonder who's gonna buy this. Is it gonna be me, or is it gonna be her?
Neither one of us are asking or saying who's gonna buy it. I go up, put my things on the counter. She follows me, puts her things on the counter. Right. And I go, oh, I I guess I'm buying.
Just saying. I liked in the car, you were like, I just have to get one thing, and she was like, hold on. I have a list. I need to look at my list. And you went, what?
You have a list A list Yeah. That I bought. Well, okay. That's crazy. Also, why'd you check your debit card balance if you already knew going in?
My mom's gonna buy this. Yeah. Well, plans changed at the checkout. She was probably thinking the same thing of me. Is my mom gonna buy this, or is she gonna make me buy it?
Maybe if I don't say anything, I can just sneak behind her and not just quietly put all of my things on the counter. I was wandering around, trying to escape the perfume smells because, they've got a quite a plethora of perfumes in there. Mhmm. And when you walk in, you you choke on it a little bit. And then I went, I had a I gotta get some air.
And so I was trying to just get toward the door while you guys were checking out. I'm like, I gotta I gotta go, I think. That's that was my experience. I got my thing. Lickety split.
Is that right? But we had an we had another person with us that had a list. Yeah. So we paid for it. Well, good to know.
Does that mean I can go use some of it? Yeah. I think so. I don't need to. She hides it.
Be careful. Yeah. I bet she does. Would you rather time? Would you rather?
Would you rather answer that. Always have a little extra pocket money for a treat. Okay. That sounds nice. Enjoy a guaranteed free dessert once a week.
A little treat here and there. A little extra spending cash for a treat. A little extra pocket money for a Yeah. Treat? Yeah.
Whenever you want, whenever you feel like it. I feel like that became a marker of success for me. When you had a little extra money for a treat? Because here's the thing. When I, right after our daughter was born, so 02/2011, '2 thousand '9 She was born in 02/2009.
'9 and 02/2011, this is where my head is. Between o nine and eleven, I was doing a morning show on a country station in the market. And, my cohost, Jeff, he told me, that, it was kind of a big deal because we would go grab, like, after the show, we'd go grab a snack or whatever at the gas station just down the road. We'd grab a burrito. Uh-huh.
And oftentimes, he was like, I'll get you. Don't worry about it. Because he was also in a position. He knew how much I made. He was the operations manager at the time.
And so he was like, hey. Look. I know, like, you you got a young family. You just had another baby. I'll just don't worry about it.
I'll buy you a burrito. And it was only a couple times a week or whatever, and it was very nice. But I always felt like one day I'm gonna have enough money in my pocket that if somebody is with me, I can be like, let me buy you a burrito. And now I feel like I've reached a point where I could buy somebody a burrito and not stress about it. But at the time, it was super stressful to be able to afford that, like, $2 burrito, because it was a thing.
So, yeah, I having a little bit of extra cash to be able to help somebody, I think, would be good. That was nice. Yeah. So, you know, it wouldn't necessarily be always a treat for me, but to be able to treat somebody, do a little something, it's a couple bucks. That'd be nice.
That is nice. You want a soda? Go grab a soda. I got you. That is nice, Josh.
That's that's what I'm saying. I like that too. I like to live I just like having a little extra pocket money. Extra little extra cash. Extra pocket money that you're like, ah, this is just Yeah.
No. No big deal. Right. It's extra money. Yeah.
I'd rather have that. I do I agree with you. Yeah. I don't care about a dessert once a week. Whatever.
But to have a little extra pocket cake? Cake. Mhmm. I'm into that. I think everybody's into that.
Yeah. Everybody wants some extra cake. Would you rather this or that? Big, huge potential changes coming to the NFL rules. Oh, really?
Probably. Well, maybe. We'll see. It has to be voted on. And, here's the deal.
The Green Bay Packers have reportedly sent a proposal to the NFL's competition committee requesting a ban on the tush push. Really. Mhmm. Now this is a play that the, Philadelphia Eagles Love. Love, love.
They use this play to get Jalen Hurts the first downs and the touchdowns often during the game. You see it multiple times. The play, basically has Jalen Hurts quarterback take the snap, from under the center, and then he dives forward, and people behind him push him forward. It's a rugby move. But they've been playing that I mean, they've been using that move long before Jalen Hurts was quarterback.
Right? So this is the second time that the play has come under scrutiny. It was discussed by the competition committee ahead of the 2023 season, but it was not voted upon. Mhmm. And when asked about criticism for the play, yesterday, Nick Sirianni, the head coach of the Eagles Yes.
He didn't mince words. He said the efforts to ban the play are a little insulting and unfair. No. Come on. Hey.
That's a dumb play. I feel like that play you only play that play when you've got no other strategy. It's a boring play. The strategy. I I get it, but it's so boring.
You're come on. It's dumb. Everyone hates it. Watchers, players Watchers. Fans.
Viewers, sport spectators. Sports Watchers. Yeah. Come up with a new play. Come on.
Where's your defensive coordinator? Offensives. Your offensive coordinator? Right. Where's your The offensive coordinator is over on the line saying, hey.
We need one yard to get this first down. Tush push. Just push it. And it's Tush push. It's so dumb.
It's also a dumb name. Well, okay. Brotherly Shove. I'm in support of getting rid of it. I think it's boring, and I think they use it way too much.
Well, like, they Get rid of it. It's it's now back in conversation, thanks to Green Bay. Who I don't like, but I'm in support of this. Who I don't like because I'm a Vikings fan, and they're in my division. I don't like it.
Yeah. Alright. Well, anyway, we'll see what happens, but, but that was kinda big news I thought you would be excited about. Because I know every time, they're like, oh, here comes the tush bush. That's what you say.
Oh, here comes the tush bush. We go. Oh, same way. Unpredictable, and it's boring. Yeah.
But, also, it's it's, very effective. I get it. It really is, and that's why they use it all the time. Right. But other teams could also use it.
They could, but they don't want to. You know why? Because they have really good Oh, here we go. Offensive coordinators. Okay.
They have better strategy. Strategists? Yep. Alright. Well, I'm sure we'll keep you posted as well.
Sign up for them? It's not up to public opinion. Never. It is up to the competition committee. I wanna be on the competition committee.
You do? Yes. Okay. I just wanna vote on this issue. It's interesting because the CEO of the of the Packers, he called it bad for the game, and he said there is no skill involved.
Exactly. And it is almost an automatic first down on plays of a yard or less. I would like to see the league prohibit pushing for, pushing or aiding the run. Yeah. And that would be the rule.
They would say you cannot push or aid the run. Mhmm. Meaning, if you wanna try and dive on your own, fine. But laying on top of the pile and being pushed over the top is a rugby play, not a football play. There you go.
And that's what they're trying to argue. So we'll see. We'll see. I'm in support. Get rid of it.
Get rid of it. Oh, and they've got support from other coaches too, including Atlanta Falcons coach, who said he wouldn't mind seeing it outlawed. I've never been a fan, never understood why it was allowed, and I definitely will be one of the guys voting against it. See? There you go.
Is he on the committee? I don't know. Oh. I don't know. But that's the news on that.
