Full show transcript:
Are you done? Guess not. Yes. Yes. It's fun working together, isn't it?
Yeah. We'll talk about that in today's show. Hey, Chantel. Happy Friday. Hey.
Hey. What's up? Well, it's Friday. It's the last day of the month. That's kind of a big deal.
Oh, dude. Yeah. March. March tomorrow. To March.
Here we go. What? It must be the weekend. I you're you're feeling the weekend. I'm a I'm a silly goose.
Alright. Well, how do we wanna kick off this morning? Oh, I'll just dive in. We kick off the morning with sea shanties and sunrise. That sounds nice.
Oh, my boat came in and my boat came out. And then what happened? I don't know. I haven't had time to work on it. Pulled up the net and it was full of trout.
Oh, no. Sea trout. Sea trout. Mhmm. No, thanks.
The fifty fifty method might be the trick to figuring out where to eat. I don't know. I am I'm kinda 10% in on it actually being effective. Shrek the Fifth is coming soon to theaters, soon as in next year. I'm an a minus type mom.
That's that's being rude to yourself still. You're an a mom. I'm an a minus. No. Stop.
Therapy doesn't have to look like therapy. That's right. It can look like yourself dressed in a Halloween costume as a child. Eyes on the skies this weekend for the parade of planets. I did find out that Pluto will not be attending, and not because Pluto's upset about being called a dwarf planet, but because it will be below the horizon.
So Pluto's like, no thanks. I don't blame it. They were rude to Pluto. I I see you, Pluto. I see you.
It's a girl's weekend for me and my daughter. Yeah. Woo. Wild and crazy. I bet you, don't get wild and crazy.
I'll probably go to bed at ten. That's or earlier. Or earlier. You'll fall asleep at 08:30. Yeah.
If we watch a movie, I it's determined all falls. Yep. What's it like working with your spouse? Now that was the question we started out the entire, podcast episode with was it's fun working with your spouse. It's so Yeah.
Great. Yeah. It's a question we get asked often. We own several unnecessary things. Mhmm.
And don't ask Josh what he thinks about cauliflower. I'll tell you. He will tell you. I will I will tell you for a long I'll tell you for a long many minutes about what I think about cauliflower. The LEGO T Rex skeleton is really cool.
And for a minute, you said I could buy it. And there's an improv festival coming to Pocatello in March. Yeah. It should be a lot of fun. Enjoy the show.
We are Josh and Chantel, and this is wake up classy 97, the podcast. Oh, the podcast comes in, and the podcast goes. Something about, stepping on stuff, and it goes between your toes like mud. Oh, good. Yeah.
Yeah. Yeah. That's all I got right now. Alright. Super.
We'll work on your sea shanty. Enjoy the show. Bye. Oh. Oh.
Are you starting a sea shanty? It's Friday. It's Friday. When the ships come in and the ships go out. Oh.
A sea shanty. That's what it sounded like. Man. And that was my sea shanty. Did you hear it?
I did. When the ships come in, the ships go out. Yeah. That's it. That's all I got.
Waiting for more. There there could be more. Welcome, And old captain Jack's got a case of the gout. I was just rhyming it without. Captain Jack.
No. There's no else? Yeah. There's no captain Jack in my sheet shanty. In my shanty?
Who's your captain? I don't know yet. Billy. That's not a bad one. Captain Billy That's what I'm saying.
Has some stuff that can rhyme. Because and Billy sounds like a oh, he's lived a life. Captain Billy. Yeah. I don't know if he's lived much of a life.
He sounds like a kid. No. Billy? Yeah. No.
Captain Bill or captain William. No. But captain Billy. It's a young fleet. Well, that's fun.
Friday sea shanty speak to get you going, which, by the way, talk like a pirate day is clear in September. So we're there's absolutely no Listen. Reason that we would be doing sea shing. It doesn't even matter. You can talk like a pirate whenever you want because there's no rules.
There's no rules in life. Mhmm. Just live it how you wanna live it. K. What else is happening?
I was trying to see if there was anything, big going on. What do you mean? Walked in the office this morning, and you said, did you see the sunrise? Which is great news because killer news. The sunrise is happening earlier, which is awesome.
Yeah. They say, the sun will be full up at 07:06 this morning, which is really awesome. We should go do some sun salutations. We could do sun salutations today. Let's do.
Yeah. Put it in a calendar. Sunset is at 06:16 this evening. Oh, yes. That's pretty good news.
It is pretty good news. By the time we get to the March, full sunrise will be where are we at here? I don't know. Seven 07:10? How's that going?
Oh, time change. I was like, how is that going longer than where we're at now? But time change is coming on, the ninth. Oh. So that's why.
And time does that feel early this year? It does feel early this year. I mean, it's fine. We can spring forward. It's cool.
I'll lose an hour. That'll help me. No. That's good. No.
Lame. Yeah. That's dumb. That's coming. We fortunately, it's not this weekend, but it will be next weekend that we spring forward.
So Dumb. I know. I know. Just just as the sun was starting to come up at at, you know, six Normal time. Then it's gonna be like, no.
Seven. That's a sleep in. It's alright. Warm weather is coming, and I'm here for it. Alright.
Eventually, it will be Friday. I know. Yeah. Good morning. It is Josh and Chantel.
Hey. There's a new hack that's trending. What is it? It's called the fifty fifty method. I feel like I've heard of the fifty fifty method, but tell me.
Okay. So this is for people who can't decide what they should do. So if you're with somebody and you're like, should we go out? Should we stay in? One of you says, like, I'm I'm 60% for going out, and the other one says, well, I'm 40% for staying in.
Alright. Then that's a majority rules kinda situation. Okay. So that is not what, what I had heard of before, which is fine. Oh.
I can't remember what I'd heard of, but that's fine. Okay. I like this. This is interesting. So it's essentially whoever has the the wider percentage gap is the one who cares more about doing the thing.
So that's the one Well, but a sixty forty is still 10 on each side. That's pretty yeah. But it's a 10 plus and a 10 minus. So does the 60 went out? I don't know.
Because they they have a little bit more interest in a thing? That's I don't I don't know. That's what I feel like is happening. I guess you'd have to make it your own Uh-huh. Thing.
Right. So then you say, should we go get Mexican, or should we go get Italian? I would say, I'm 80% Mexican. Okay. And you would say, I'm also that.
And we'd say, great. Let's go get Mexican food. And then we would check my DNA, and it would say otherwise. No. No.
I want Mexican food right now. Right. I'm 100% in for tacos. I see that. No.
I get it. I a street taco is something else. Mhmm. Now if you're if you say to me, what percentage are you for going out? I'd say, oh, I'm a % staying in.
I see. Is that right? Yes. Once I get home from work, especially when it's cold and dark outside Yeah. It better be something good that I'm going out for.
That's all I'm saying. I get you. I get you. Yeah. I I can't really, I can't really feel, like, my like, right now, my percentage Yeah.
Of, like, going out there, it's real low. It's going out where? Yeah. Outside. We're we've already been outside.
No. I know. But, like, now that I'm in here and I'm settled, I don't wanna go out there. What if our boss came in and was like, what percentage are you for going home? Oh.
100. Now that'd be higher. A 10%. About a 10. I have I have a pretty large project, so I'd be, like, a 75.
Oh, no. Because 25% of me is like, I should stay and do that project. No. It can wait till Monday. It can't, actually.
It has to be done today. Okay. It's it's deadline is today. Alright. So you should probably stay.
If you asked me this morning if you rolled over and said, hey, Chantel, should we go to work? I'd say, 0%. Yeah. I I I know. I know that about you.
At five in the morning, if I say, hey. You wanna stay here? You're every time you're gonna go, yep. Yes. Yep.
I do. Yes. I do. Mhmm. I woke up at at four this morning.
So did I. Because the dog was barking? Yes. She was. Again.
We're inconsistency training again. Okay. But I was excited because I woke up at four and I went, I still have an hour of sleep left. It's exciting. Yeah.
But then that hour seems to be were you interrupted in that hour, or did you make it through? I was interrupted by some alarms. Yes. Yeah. That's what happened.
It. No. And then I forgot to tell you this. The we turned off our fail safe alarm a couple weeks ago. That's right.
So when I when mine went off at 05:30, I went, oh, no. I got a fail safe alarm. No. My brain wasn't awake yet. Yeah.
And then I finally went, no. You don't have that fail safe alarm. You better get out of bed. It's time to go. I did.
I got out. I'm here. Me too. But I don't wanna be. I'm a 0% chance.
Wow. What? 0% you wanna be here? Well, I'm here now, and I'm having a good time now. But earlier, I didn't wanna be here.
I see. If you had given me the option, I would have said, yeah. I'm not going. Right. Forget about it.
Okay. Let's do the show from home. So the fifty fifty method. I think we need to introduce it to the kids. Okay.
Because I'm I get so tired of trying to figure out where to eat that I think that's really what needs to happen. I need to say, listen. I need percentages. But what happens when there's four of us giving you percentages? Yeah.
Who wins? Majority. If one says sixty, sixty, one says 41 says 51 says 80, who wins? Well, the 80 is the biggest percentage. And if the 80 agrees with the 40, that's one twenty.
And if the fifty and sixty agree, that's one ten. So they're therefore, the one agree, that's one ten. So there therefore, the one twenty is a larger percentage. Okay. Let's give it a shot.
I just think it might be a a solution. Let's give it a try. And it's gonna be pick a food. Not not maybe not even a place. Pick a food and give me a percentage.
You know what Emery's gonna say every time? I'm 100% chicken nugget. She is. Go, okay. Great.
She doesn't say chicken nugget. Nuggy. Yeah. I'm 100% nuggies. I need nuggies.
She is a chicken nugget. What percentage? 85. 80 five percent chicken nugget. Alright.
So this guy named Bruce Fair, he, decided that he wanted to help some people. He had a health scare a couple of years ago. Back in '22, He suffered a, heart attack. And he survived, but the episode was scary enough that he wanted to make sure that others had the best chance to survive as well. So he recently visited some government officials in Lawrence Township, Pennsylvania and offered them money for an AED, an automated external defibrillator.
This device we placed in a public area to ensure quick access during emergencies. And he said, I would like to know that if someone has the same problem, that I had, that they would be okay. Yeah. And so he said, what can I do? I I I've got some money.
I wanna put it toward an AED. Let's get that out there for the people. And that's what he did. That's great. Now how expensive are those things?
Because I know you you deal with those occasionally. I deal with them. I had to order one for my Right. Case of employment. That's my dealing with them.
Right. And I helped install the box Yeah. That it sits in. That it sits in. Oh, golly.
Now I can't remember. It was a a hundred or more dollars. Okay. A hundred or more. I can't yeah.
It was upwards of a hundred dollars. Now I gotta know. And it depends on what kind of brand and model you there's different ones that you can get. Okay. What does that mean?
I don't know. There's different ones that you can get. Dude, they're like $1,500. No. We did not spend that much money.
That's not hold on. I gotta do you should've asked me to do this earlier, and then I would have been prepared. That's alright. But I just wanted to know kinda what kind of cash we were talking about from this guy. But I'm looking at several of them And, you know, from the American AED company, they're $1,500.
The Phillips one is $1,500. They have refurbished ones that are about, you know, 5 or $600. But the certified brand new on-site AED business package for $7.50. Yeah. They're they're legit, like, $1,500.
Well, I just don't think that I spent that much money. Okay. But it's possible. But that's that's great anyway that, there a guy what's his name? Bruce?
Yes. Bruce Fair. He stepped up, and he said, I need my community to have one of these, and I think that's great. So well done, Bruce. That's how you make it into good news to get you going.
He's so excited. You probably already know the answer to this, but if I told you they're making another Shrek, which number would you think they were on? I think it's five or six. It's five. Yeah.
Did you see the picture? I didn't Shrek's old. I didn't even know that they had a Shrek four. Well, you you knew they had Shrek the third. Yes.
Because that's when they had their triplets. Correct. I don't know if I've even seen that one. Haven't seen Shrek four. I have not seen Shrek four either.
Does Shrek four have the original cast? I think so. Yeah. Shrek four came out in let's see. It's 2010.
Twenty '10? Yeah. So And it's called Shrek Forever After. What's it about? Oh, yeah.
Yeah. Yeah. This is the one where they brought in, what's his name, Rumpelstiltskin. I have not seen that Shrek. Yeah.
I have not. Forever after in, 2010. Yes. Mike Myers, Eddie Murphy, Cameron Diaz, Antonio Banderas, they're all there. They're making Shrek five.
That's correct. It's coming out. Let me see. I thought I saw when it was coming out, but now I can't find it. Original cast, Mike Myers, Cameron Diaz, Eddie Murphy, and Zendaya.
Zendaya? Zendaya. I heard she's not in it. She isn't. I've got I've got many things.
So one one is saying she's playing, their daughter. Their daughter. But then this one says, Zendaya is not in oh, she is not in the first trailer. This is confusing. Poop.
So she is going to be in the movie, but she is not in the trailer they released yesterday. But the official trailer came out. She's voicing one of the triplets. Right. They had triplets in Shrek three, Shrek and Fiona.
Mhmm. They had and here's how little I know about Shrek. Their triplets are Felicia, Fergus, and Farkle. Couldn't have told you that. Me neither.
It's a twenty seven second long teaser trailer Okay. That they released, yesterday, and it is a cast announcement. Oh, it's coming out Christmas next year. A new one. Of '26?
Yep. Christmas twenty twenty six is when it's coming out. Shrek five. We're on Shrek number five. Yeah.
That's wild. Again, I don't think I've I have not seen Shrek number four. Mike Myers, Eddie Murphy, Cameron Diaz. Yeah. We Zendaya.
Know who's in it. That's what they've said. That's it. That's all they said. They just barely said Zendaya.
That's it. Zendaya or Zendaya? Yes. I wanna get it right because I don't like when people mispronounce my name. Not that she cares that I'm mispronouncing her name, but I'm sure it's complicated for a lot of people.
And I wanna get it right. It's important. It is important. I don't know, I don't know. Are you gonna go see Shrek number five?
Not gonna, like, go to the theater and watch it. Okay. But I might watch it later When? At home if I have nothing else going on, and I've watched everything else. It is a big time gap.
If the last one came out in 2010 Takes a long time to make those animated movies. Yeah. But they already have the animation. I mean, they already have the basic constructs of the characters. Because the very first one came out when?
02/2001. Two thousand '1. Shrek two came out in 02/2004. Shrek the third came out in 02/2007. Shrek forever after came out in 02/2010, and now Shrek five is coming out in 2026.
'16 years later. Yeah. Those Yeah. That's a giant game. Those twin babies are teenagers now.
That's why they got sick Zendaya Diah to play it. Shrek and Fiona are gonna be dealing with teenage angst. That's exactly right. I might watch it. Okay.
You'll notice that Shrek has some wrinkles on the sides of his eyes. I haven't. I haven't seen it yet. Teenagers. Does he have some gray hair?
I don't know. He doesn't have hair. He has a green bald head with those weird horn ears. He is old. Look at him.
I know. Aw. That's kinda cute. Aw. Look at you.
I might watch it. Alright. A little reminiscent. Okay. Okay.
It comes out Christmas of twenty six. Yep. I'm in. Let's watch the teaser. Okay.
We shall. We'll do that on our own later. You don't wanna watch even the teaser? Maybe. You're not in.
I don't know. You're not sold on Shrek the fifth. I don't know. I mean, how much more smash mouth can you put into one movie is really the question. Right?
I saw this TikTok, and I kinda liked it because it said everyone talks about type a moms. These are the ones that are, scheduled and running around Yeah. Very, very on top of everything. Yeah. They got their stuff together.
Right? Yeah. Like, they they they got together. Appear to have their stuff together. Yeah.
But no one talks about the type b moms, and I feel like I'm a type b mom. I feel like once upon a time, I might have been a type a mom when my kids were little. But now as I've gotten older and they've gotten older, I'm like, I can't be bothered. I disagree, but go on. The type b moms are like, I can't find my car keys, gas.
Don't know the last time. I think I am I'm kind of in the middle of type a and type b. I'm like an a and a half. A a minus? Yeah.
A minus. Okay. Alright. Where's the kids' water bottles? The we can all share mine.
Phone charged? No. You charge your phone every night. But, usually, it's dead when I need it the most. Yeah.
But that's because it's been used all day. Grocery list, forgot it at home. Or lost it at the store. Lost it at yeah. I just lost my to do list at the store.
I know. I wonder if that ever got found. Know, but that drives me crazy. Notebook lost to the grocery store. Bank account, probably should check it.
You you're on top of that. I am on top of that. That's what I'm saying. You're updating that I'm on top of, but things that I'm not. Everything's on the calendar.
You you criticize both myself and our son because we don't use the calendar the way you like us to use the calendar. I just want you to remember your appointment. See what I'm saying? You are so a type a mom. You're not a type b mom.
I think you would like to be, but you're not. That's not nice. I'm just saying. You're you're not some disconnected, lackadaisical lady. You're just not.
You're on top of stuff. I don't think that I am, though. You show up. We're at everything that our kids do. We're at, all the I don't think TigerConference is don't show up.
I think what I think is I'm an in betweener. Where are you? I can't even barely hear you. Oh, sorry. There there are My ear itched.
Okay. I said I think I'm an in betweener. Okay. I'm in between the type a and the type b. Like you said, I'm an a minus.
Okay. Fine. And I like that better. I you're I still think you're far more a than b. I don't.
Well okay. I don't know. When it comes to certain things, I agree with you. Like, I hate being late, so I'm always on time for stuff. I hate that my my gas tank gets empty, so I feel it even before it has a chance to yell at me.
I checked the bank account. I know where my car keys are. Alright. I am more type a than type b. But how come I lost my grocery list?
One thing. One thing you misplaced. That drives me crazy. And you drag yourself down into, I'm a I might as well be a d mom. No.
Stop. We're not. No. You stop. You stop.
Alright. I guess learning a little about myself today. I'm a type a mom with b tendencies. How about that? Don't have them.
You lost one list. I lose stuff all the time. I forget things all the time. Uh-huh. A minus.
I still am gonna go with a minus. Alright. That's fine. B a being a minus mom, but you're still an a mom. It's all you're still top notch.
So Aw. Thanks, Josh. Yep. Well, you do all the hard work. Now am I a type b dad?
Probably. No. An in betweener. Uh-huh. I'm all about, mental health.
Yeah. I am in therapy. Sure. But I I saw this thing that said, what are some non therapy things Oh. That you like to do to help with your mental health?
For me, I do love, as we've talked about, the nature. I like nature a lot. I'm excited because, I know we're gonna talk about it later, but this weekend, I'm going into nature. You are going into nature. Very excited.
I know it's gonna be snowy, but I'm going into the mountains. And I don't do snow. And I'm excited for that. You are excited. I read some of the comments some people like to do.
These were some things that I saw on the Internet. Somebody said, I open my window and just listen to birds because birds only sing when there's no danger. Yeah. So your nervous system is wired to feel relaxed around birdsong. That's interesting.
Which I heard some birds yesterday. Did you? Because it was so warm outside, and I heard birds, and I went, oh. It was so exciting. I was excited.
Somebody else said, just sitting outside. If there's sun, just sitting in the sun. Somebody said I started using things that I saved for special occasions. Like, you just use the good China. Oh, there you go.
Yesterday, just to jump back to your sitting in the sun thing Yeah. When I was driving home after picking up our daughter from school, our neighbors, a couple of houses down, there was a whole group of them, six of them or so, sitting out in the sun on the front porch just having a conversation. And I went Love it. This is what are we doing? I mean, it was in the forties, so let's go outside.
I I it was great to see people outside. That was awesome. When I came home, I heard kids outside playing, and I went, ah, that made me so happy. I know. Birds and kids outside?
Right. We're getting there, guys. We're getting there. One day at a time. Somebody said, I like to just have dance parties solo.
You do. Sometimes? You dance in the kitchen all the time. I love to dance in the kitchen. Mhmm.
With the dog sometimes? I sometimes dance with the dog. Sometimes against her will. Right? I don't think she enjoys it so much.
Having a good time. But it's fine. Something I saw, and this is what I decided to do. Somebody said that they put they found an old picture of themselves as a kid. Mhmm.
And they put it on their lock screen on their phone so that they could remind themselves to be nice to themselves. Oh, that's a good idea. I loved it. And I did that last night. I went What do you got?
I went scrolling through You found yourself as the pound puppy. That's great. It's me dressed up in my Halloween costume. I was probably I don't know. How old do you think I am?
I don't know. Seven or eight? That's a that's a good age for you to pick because I think if you look at that, you're and and you like kids, you gotta like yourself as a little kid. Look at you. And then I gotta remind myself to be nice to that person.
Right. Be nice to myself. Right. There's a little kid in there. You know?
Yeah. Don't get all teary. Yeah. No. I'm not teary.
Okay. And all she wants to do is dress up like a pound puppy. Right. Look at her. Look at her.
There's not a lot of joy captured in that photo other than you dressed as a pound puppy. Like, you're not smiling and being real excited. I don't I don't know why. Are you standing in front of the fridge? Yes.
Of course, you are. That's why we took every photo of it. White background we have in the house standing in front of the fridge. It's hilarious. I just liked I liked these ideas.
Somebody said, I started taking up coloring again. Yeah. That the adult coloring books complement strangers. That's a that's a easy one. And if you spread kindness, kindness comes back, which is good.
So if you're feeling down in the dumps, try telling somebody something nice and watch what happens. Yeah. Watch what happens. Mhmm. And, also, hey, guys.
Take care of yourself. Right? Do something you like to do. I I do enjoy, shutting my brain off, turning on some music. I turn on the fireplace, and I sit down in the, in the basement and time my flies.
And I enjoy that. That's a nice escape. I kinda liked that yesterday. Went down in the basement. Yeah.
Needed to decompress a little bit. And I just kinda went in the corner in the basement. Not in the corner. No. I know.
Just on the sofa. Yeah. It was quiet. I know. Nobody knew I was there.
I know. It was kinda nice. Yeah. It's a good spot. I like our, library slash fly tying room.
It's good. It's a good spot. Anyway, good good mental health, moment there. Thanks for sharing that. Let's go find some birds.
Okay. I'm gonna go find some in the snow, in the mountains. No. I'm not gonna go find birds there. There are birds there.
I know. I'll let you know I find snow. Penguins walking around. Yeah. Exactly.
I get fascinated by, all these old pictures. Yeah. And I just stumbled across some, as I was looking through Facebook. Love them too. Because there's been a lot of discussion, specifically in the Idaho Falls Facebook groups about that pump house, that's on Yellowstone, which is it's an old, old pump house.
Looks like a little castle turret. It's been there forever. And, people always, you know, if they're new to the area or if they just don't know. I mean, it's even labeled on Google Maps as the pump house. Like, you can you can easily research what it is.
A pump for what? The water, I suppose. It has something to do with, with pumping things around the city. But these old pictures, are really super cool, that that, it looks like this guy Doug posted, on on this page. And, I'm looking at them and comparing them to where, you know, the city is now.
It's so weird. I know. I like those. You get to the the road that the the pump house is on, that underpass, and that's where it ends. And then it becomes dirt road.
And and I don't know what year this was. I was trying to figure out, you know, the train depot and yards is all it says. It doesn't have a year on the bottom. But, it's so interesting to to look at old, old historical photos like that. I like it too.
And I know they've got a bunch of them you've seen. Like, I go stare at them and just go like, what was that like? It's wild. You just go stare at them. If you find Josh, she's just at the museum staring.
I am. I'll be I'll be just looking through I like at stuff. I think it's fascinating to see, like, the, land, like, and the lack of development Right. Compared to what we have now. But when there's people in the pictures, I'd love to look at what they're wearing Right.
Or and then I don't it's fascinating, isn't it, to think of what they were doing? Everybody is going nuts about the pump house right now. They're posting AI images of the pump house. We've got all kinds of photos. Pictures.
Yeah. Somebody said it's a portal to a fairyland. Like Narnia? Yeah. Kinda.
So it's it's got this AI thing with fairies and a whole little secret garden thing, around it, which is funny. I mean, everybody is just kinda blowing up about this thing. And anytime somebody brings it up, they just get, like, rigged over the coals so bad. Did it always They're like, it's a papa house. It did it always look like like it does now?
Yeah. That castle y type look, it has always looked like that. Always looked exactly like that. Yeah. Yeah.
And and ever since I was a little kid, like, it it's been around forever. And I was born in the eighties, so, of course, it was around then. But it's just always been a mystery of, like, what is that thing? And you can create all kinds of fun stories about it, can't you? I mean, you could say it's, you know, the last turret of one castle that stood there before the train went through.
Who knows? You can make anything up. But, boy, are they all over on Facebook talking about this crazy little pump house. But I do like the, the historic photos that Doug has shared. Those are really super cool.
So if you're interested in that pump house and learning a little bit more, boy, can Facebook educate you about that pump house. Go ask. Go say, hey, what is this thing? Hey, what is this? Yeah.
They'll tell you all the boundaries. I just moved here. I don't know what this is. That's right. Just quick reminder to sign your kids up for KidSmarts.
You can do that in the Classy 97 app. Just tap the KidSmarts link, and you can sign them up. I got a couple of new, registrations yesterday. Oh, hooray. Yeah, which is really good.

Anything further to say. Alright. Go sign up. You said it all. This is cool.
You're gonna wanna pay attention to this. Okay. I'm I'm paying attention. There's gonna be a parade of planets tonight. That right?
Yes. You can see seven planets visible in the night sky. While standing on the eighth. Well, yes. They say that you might only be able to see four or five.
Saturn is pretty close to the sun right now, and you need a telescope or binoculars to see Uranus and Neptune. They call it parade, the parade of planets, because they're all lined up in the sky. And this won't happen again until 2040. Okay. And they say the best time to look is right around dusk.
Alright. And then they say that Mercury and Saturn are pretty pretty close to the sun, so they might be lost in the sun's glare. And Mercury will get higher and higher each day and easier to spot. But how long does this parade last then? I don't know.
I don't know, Josh. They say Venus and Jupiter will be easier spot because they're pretty bright, and Mars will stand out with its reddish orange hue. K. However, Neptune and Uranus are not typically visible to the naked eye, and you'll likely require a telescope or binoculars to see them. Okay.
But that's pretty cool. I would like to see how many we could spot in our night sky. Yeah. Hopefully, it's clear. Here's, here's what it says what I was just looking here.
It says the best, time to get a glimpse of the seven visible planets, is recommend you start looking for them about half an hour after sunset. After that, there will be a short window to see four planets, Mercury, Venus, Mars, and Jupiter as darkness falls. Mercury, Venus, and Saturn will be located to the west K. While Jupiter and Mars will be high overhead alongside Neptune and Uranus. That's what it says.
Well, they they also say I was just reading, let Venus be your guide because it's gonna show up first because it's higher in the sky, so it's brighter. Oh, I see. Once you find Venus, below it towards the horizon, look for a skinny little moon and Mercury. Okay. There are, lots of different, like, sky couple of months, they say you'll be able to kinda see these.
They'll be they'll be around for a couple of months. Interesting. Okay. If you are looking for one of those apps I'm trying to remember the one that I used to use. Yeah.
Yeah. But it was I I haven't put that on, my phone a few different phones ago. But it's a there's a really cool, like, night sky, I think it was called. I don't remember. I'm looking right now.
And it it showed you all the constellations and everything. Yeah. Yeah. Night sky, I think, was the app that I used. Obviously, not a sponsor.
But but that was one that actually shows you all the constellations and stuff. And it it's cool because as you move around your, your phone in, like, landscape mode Mhmm. It'll show you what you're looking looking at. And so you can see, like, oh, I see that constellation that is Orion or whatever. And so as you move it around.
So I'm just installing it again There you go. Just to see if, if it is the one that I remember. Why would you get rid of it? I don't know. I wasn't using it that often, and so I decided that it's it's full of ads.
So there's that it's got that going for it. Ma'am. Ma'am. That's You know? That's the pits.
Mhmm. Okay. What time did you say? How about an hour after sunset? Sunset?
Okay. We gotta check this out. It's the parade of planets. This isn't gonna happen again until twenty forty. We gotta check it out.
We just gotta. We we gotta? We just gotta. Yeah. Well, it it's just gonna happen outside.
Hopefully, it's clear skies, and we can see it. This thing is loaded with ads. Don't get the one I just told you. Don't get that one. I've been trying to just get into it, and I've had to sit through three ads.
So it's not gonna be that one. Okay. If by any chance the clouds happen to come in this evening and you can't see, the virtual telescope project is going to share a live screen a live stream. Excuse me. That's cool.
Captured by its robotic telescopes, and that is gonna be in Italy. So check that out. Virtual telescope project. I gotta write that down. Alright.
That's a good idea. I'm also gonna put this in our calendar because we'll forget. Virtua. Because of your type a thing. I got a girls' weekend this weekend.
Me and Emery. I know. What you gonna do? Girls' not out. I don't know.
I don't know. I don't know what we're gonna do. Yeah. The boy and I are going, up into the mountains. We're gonna go hang out in the snow, do some, camping in the snow.
Gross. It's gonna be good times. And, and so, yeah, that means you two get to, hang out. That's right. What I liked was I said, hey.
Do you want your friends to come over? Like, you can do something with your friends. And she said, no. I just wanna kinda hang out with you. Well, that's sweet.
Which I thought was nice. Yeah. Because I'm fun, and she's fun. Mhmm. And I don't know what we're gonna do.
Movies? Popcorn? Yeah. And then what? Fancy homemade sodas with syrups.
Oh. I mean, you know? A little soda soda bar? You could, paint nails. Yeah.
I I don't know. I don't know what you guys do. I know that she is expensive. That's why I was trying to come up with things at the house. But specifically, I didn't say go shopping.
She's not gonna wanna just say it the home the whole time, though. She wants to make that pasta really bad. Oh, she does. But that's a lot of pasta for just two people. Pasta is one of those things you can cut down by not making so much pasta.
Like, if ever there was a meal you can control the portions of, it's gotta be pasta. You You know what I mean? Yeah. But don't you guys want that too? Sure.
Okay. So we'll wait and make that when you guys are there. We're gonna have, pasta for dinner. We're having pasta two ways. Oh, what does that mean?
With some, with some French bread on the side. That means, because, people in the group that we're going with have dietary restrictions, like vegetarian or, milk allergy, a couple of different things. So, to accommodate, we'll have, like, a red meat sauce, and then we'll have, like, a white cream sauce. Oh. And then pasta.
Pasta two ways? Pasta two way. It's just the same pasta with different sauces you can pick. And put whatever sauce you want. Or you Pasta two ways.
You can mix it up and do the pink sauce. People are combining that Yes. Marinara That's a good style. And the fettuccine. You bet.
Alfredo. Alfredo. Mhmm. Fettuccine is the noodle. That's right.
I know. I know you know. And then a little salad on the side, a nice little salad and, and some bread. That sounds delightful, doesn't it? It does sound delightful.
Pasta too much. Nice. Yeah. I don't know. I don't know what we'll do.
I know that she has talked. She mentions casually, I need a pedicure. Oh, I need a manicure. And I go, oh, do you? Do you?
You need a job. That's why I said things you could do at home. Again, I'll I'll reiterate. I know. You could just do you could just you should do each other's makeup because that could be a real goofy time.
That could be a real goofy time. What a goof time. Because she could try and do it like you could use all the colors you never use. You got that little palette of purple and things. Be kind of fun.
Yeah. You could just try all kinds of silly things. Girls night out. Yeah. Wild and crazy.
Yeah. Sounds like it's gonna be a time. Me and the 50 What I don't wanna hear is that we just did our separate things. We just did No. No.
No. No. That's not what's gonna happen. I do think there's gonna be time where we go, okay. I've had enough time of you.
Let's each have our space. Time of you. That'll do. I've had enough time of you. Well, I think each of us, both she and I, are very much, like, we like hanging out Yeah.
With people, but then we need Decompression time. Yeah. We need I get it. Alone time. So there might be a time when she's like, I'm gonna go hang out alone in my room for a minute.
I'm like, cool. Cool. I'm gonna go hang out downstairs alone for a minute. There you go. Because we are very much that same person.
And then I'll be like, oh, hey. Wanna go get a snack? And she'll be like, yes. Let's go. Because we both like snacks.
I know. She always asks for a refreshment or a special treat or whatever anytime of the day. Pick her up from school. Hey. Can I go get a refreshment?
I'll pay. I have a gift card. I went, I just wanna go home. Yeah. She told me, dad would go get me a refreshment yesterday.
Oh, yeah. And it's finals week. That's what she said. And it's finals week. Okay.
And? She deserved a refreshment. I guess so. If she was with me, I would've went and got a refreshment. Yeah.
I couldn't be bothered. I went home. I needed to lay down. So we'll go tired. We'll go get a refreshment, she and I.
She'll spend all of my money. There it is. Yep. That's what she does best. So that's what'll happen.
I'll come back, and then we'll go, well, we're broke. Well, we have no money. But we had a good time. Girl not out. Yeah.
Crazy spenders. You and I have been married for almost twenty years. True statement. We have known each other for how long? Twenty We met in 02/2003.
Yeah. So about twenty two years. Okay. So we each other for a couple years and then got married. Yeah.
We've known each other for a long time. That's fair. We've been working together for Just over two years? Two and a yeah. Just over two years.
Uh-huh. How do you think it's going? Oh, why why do you ask? I think it's going pretty good, but I feel like I'm walking into something. No.
No. No. No. This is no trap. What I'm asking you say that every time.
No. No. No. No. No.
No. This is not a trap. No. No. Just answer honestly.
Uh-huh. I think we're doing great. I think it's going well. Okay. I'm having a good time with you.
The assessment? The assessment is that I get asked I don't know how often you get asked this, but it when it comes up and people find out that I work with you Uh-huh. They most often, the response is, oh, I could never work with my spouse. That is most often the response. That up with, why don't you like them?
I don't say anything. I know. That's what I'm saying. I don't either. I go I go, oh, we're doing great.
I know. I got great time. It's fine. Yeah. It's a fun time.
So I think we need to start asking questions. Why? But here's the other part. It's not, like, yes, it's work, and we are getting paid to do this. It's a job, but it doesn't feel like work.
It just feels like we're hanging out. Having a good time. I know. Yeah. We're just hanging out, talking about stuff.
This is true. Which is what we would be doing anyway. So we're just Correct. Hanging out. That's right.
I like hanging out with you. Well, that's very kind. It's a nice assessment of of the current status. This is a good, I said one nice thing about you. Oh, here we go.
That's a way throwback. That's a two year old throwback. That's a good one too. I like that one. I need to find that, where that originated.
Do you remember when that started? No. I don't. It was something about complimenting the the people that you love, and, and you said that the thing I said wasn't very nice. And I said, no.
It's nice. It's super nice. I said a nice thing. Now you say a nice thing. And then it became a really long running joke about I said one nice thing, and now you have to say one nice thing in return.
And then I don't know. That's that one that's just a cut. That's a year and a half old. Ping pong. A ping pong.
Yes. I said a nice thing. Now you say a nice thing. I ping ponged and now you ping pong. Now you say a nice thing.
You said this wasn't a trap. No. I'm feeling cornered. It's not a trap, but it is a little bit of fishing. I'm feeling I'm feeling cornered.
I'm just fishing. I'm just fishing for a nice compliment. Is that right? Yeah. Take the bait.
Take the bait. Why are your hands on your forehead? What are you doing? You're having a moment. I need to know that you're having a nice time.
I'm having a good time. I'm happy to be here. Things are good. Blink Things are good. Blink once if you're being forced to say things that you don't want to say.
How many times? Just once? Just once. Okay. I'm not I'm being forced to say things.
You're such a Whatever. Whatever. I said many nice things. I say nice things all the time. Look at you.
But not now. I'm saving up. I gotta stop stockpiling my nice things. Okay. Yeah.
So I can deliver them like a dump truck of of niceness. Just deliver it right to the driveway like a like a pile of gravel. There'll be nice things just laying there for you to shovel into a wheelbarrow, plant in your garden. I'm having a great time. I I me too.
Me too. Great times. It's so fun working with my spouse. It's great. If you could tell me the the, most unnecessary thing that we own, what would you say it is?
Oh, what's the most unnecessary thing that we own? We have a lot of unnecessary things. Well, I guess it depends on how you define unnecessary. Unnecessary, meaning that we own it, but we don't use it, and we don't need it. The drum set.
That was the number one on my list too. Like like, we we thought that having the drum kit would be fun for, our kids, and it was a Christmas thing, and it was exciting. And we got a a killer deal. We got a great deal on it, and our son is, like, a big band guy. And so we were like, this will be fun.
And Even every was like, yeah. I think I want a drum set. And we were like, great. Let's get drumsticks for her too. So I think the issue with the drum kit is just that it's we don't have a large enough house to have it where it can be set up easily accessible.
Exactly. And I think that's and so I tried to build out the garage and put a carpet down and put Mhmm. Put the drum set out there, but nobody wants to go hang out in the garage to play drums. Right. And so I don't necessarily know that it wouldn't get used if it were in a different situation, but we don't have a space for that.
I think I think in the summer, somebody might wanna go hang out in the garage if there was space. But, again, our garage isn't large enough either. We only have a single car garage, and we fill it to the brim with other things. And I think So it's not a nice space. It it it becomes a a little bit of a catch all storage thing, but it also, during the summer, especially when we're camping and when we're riding bikes and where we're doing all the fun stuff, all the fun stuff is, like, in and out of the garage Right.
All summer. So the drum kit kind of is in the way. So this fall, I disassembled it. I took it all apart. I put it away.
So it is stored, and it is now entirely unusable because of that, which is sad. It is sad. So so that's probably on the list of unnecessary things. That was number one on my list. I'm trying to think of of other unnecessary things that we have.
The other thing I would say in the garage is the deep freeze that It has stuff in it. It's got stuff in it. But we I here's the thing about the deep freezer. I think we don't use it properly. Well Like, we use it, but as an overflow because we also have a garage fridge with a freezer.
Mhmm. And I think we would be better to use the I think we need to be better about what we put in each one. The deep freeze has to be there for, like, like, deeper deeper storage. Okay. Well If we got bulk meat, for example, then you would put that in the deep freeze.
Gross. That's great. No. That's great. Meat is disgusting.
I know. You have a thing with meat. Okay. Listen, though. But that the deep freeze is also a it's difficult to get to because we like you said There's all the stuff.
Garage is the catch all. Right. And so there's, like, I've been cleaning out different things and trying to get rid of stuff. And so then I just throw it in the garage until I can I know? Take it to the dump or to the youth ranch or something.
Yeah. And so then it gets, like, stored on top of or in front of the deep freeze. And then when somebody's like, do we have any any, like Frozen pizza? Yeah. Well, yeah, we do, but you can't get to the freezer to get it.
So No. That's true. Because there's Not that it's unnecessary, but we got so much unnecessary stuff in the garage that you can't get to the necessary stuff. Right. And so what I'd like to do is is, is part of my spring summer projects in the yard and the house and everything, is to is to really organize and rearrange the garage.
I want there's there's a better flow for that space, and I wanna find it. I wanna figure it out. I'm with you. I would like your tools to have a nice little space. Too.
And I would like them to be much more accessible than they are. Yeah. And I think the way that that works is by getting my workbench out from underneath the storage attic. I think it needs to move more toward the other side of the garage. I think that'll help.
Fine. We can do that. Yeah. But I also think that, that we could be smarter about some storage in there. Think that we should be smarter about getting rid of a lot of things.
Well, we have many things in there to get rid of. Things. Yeah. Yeah. Speaking of which, I gotta take a trip to the dump today.
I've just remembered. I got a mattress in the back of the truck I gotta throw away before I can leave tomorrow. Reminder. Yeah. Put it in your phones so you're removing that appointment.
Nah. I don't even put it in my phone. Why would you? Nah. You won't keep that appointment anyway.
Nah. That's for somebody else. Have you ever been in a grocery store and you said, oh, I need a drink. And so you open a drink. Okay.
No. And then you drink it throughout the store, and then you're like, I'm gonna pay for this at the end of it. I'm gonna drink it while I'm shopping. I know you can totally do that. Or eating a grape.
That's a little different. Like, the fruit and stuff is different because it's it's all measured by weight. That is true. I think there are certain things that are not measured by weight. And I think as long as it's not priced out by weight, I think you are okay.
Speaking of measured by weight, what's the deal with charging me for the weight of cauliflower and broccoli? It makes me angry. Yeah, pineapple. I get I I understand. It's the same.
I I just go, whatever. Cauliflower makes me crazy. Broccoli isn't as bad. Cauliflower is horrendous. The amount of cauliflower that is in nonedible, unedible, inedible, whatever the right word is, Mhmm.
Versus what is edible that you pay for, it's it's a it's a travesty. It's a ridiculous amount of garbage that gets thrown away from a head of cauliflower. The same with pineapple. I get it. Yeah.
The outside, the whole leaf top thing, the weird bottom. But most of the pineapple is inside, plus it's got pineapple juice. So it's got its own weight because of that. I think the the usable to unusable in pineapple is you use more of it than you don't. Broccoli usually just has a little bit of stem that you do pay for that gets thrown away.
But cauliflower, all those leaves plus the stem, I'm telling you, it is it is close to 50 waste, and that's ridiculous. I gotta talk to big cauliflower You can because they are scamming people. You get so mad. I do. Every time I have to cut up cauliflower, I get very angry.
Buy cauliflower that's already precut. And they charge you more. Yeah. That's it's a lot of money. Or you could buy frozen cauliflower.
Also, not it. What's the deal with with cauliflower? That's a thing I'm, That's the thing you're up in arms about is the cauliflower? Yeah. What's the deal?
That's not even what we were talking about initially. I just We were talking about eating in stores Yeah. Before you pay. I think it's okay as long as it's not measured in weight and as long as you're going to be honest and pay for the thing that you have eaten, in my opinion. Yeah.
I I get it. I I, like, you shouldn't be snacking on grapes out of the bag when and you're gonna go weigh it, and then you're not gonna pay for the few grapes that you ate. Exactly. Right. I'm with you on that.
The soda thing, I think you you're fine as long as you do actually pay for it. Yeah. Don't be a jerk and try and steal. Somebody's on the Internet saying that you should roast the cauliflower leaves and use them as a salad instead of throwing them away. Okay.
Fine. Whatever. Who's doing that? Nobody. Cauliflower core, they call it.
I got I gotta know. Like, who's in charge of this? Like, here's the thing. Here's the thing. Here's the thing.
The produce manager at the grocery store is the person who is responsible for putting out all of the stuff, making sure it looks nice, making sure it's fresh, all that kind of stuff. Right? And you see them, and they're there doing that. Cauliflower heads didn't used to be wrapped in plastic. They used to just be a head of cauliflower sitting there.
Uh-huh. And I think somewhere along the way, the produce managers lost control of maintaining the produce in that way because they used to trim it, and they would they would cut it off. And I think cauliflower wasn't getting all the money that they thought they needed, so they started packaging it like a head of lettuce. They got with the iceberg folks, and they said, how are you doing it? And they said, well, we just wrap it up, and then you get to buy what you gotta buy.
And you gotta throw away the whole outside of the lettuce anyway, so we're making all that money. And cauliflower was like, yeah. This a good idea. Why'd you have to bring up cauliflower? It's it's so frustrating to me.
I love cauliflower. I I do. I really enjoy it. I like cooking with it. I like how it tastes.
I like grilling it. I like breading it and turning it into cauliflower wings. I'm all about cauliflower. Why do I have to pay for all that stump? Who do I have to talk to?
I don't know, Josh. I'm sorry to the listeners that I brought up this hot topic. Jeez Louise. I gotta go simmer down a little bit. Call the cauliflower people.
I got it. Somebody somebody knows that they've made a goof, and I don't know who it is. No. They have not made a goof. They've made an excellent strategy in marketing.
They're like, yeah. Look at us charging all this money for things that they're just gonna toss in the garbage. Yeah. Well, that'll eventually go in my compost this year. But like you said, you could roast those leaves.
And turn them into a salad. It looked nice. Looked like a nice little, roasted cauliflower leaf salad, but no. If they didn't individually wrap them, it would be kind of cool if you could just like, if they had a trimming section Yeah. I'd cut out the stone.
Throw it away. And then they just had, like, a cutting board and, and you could just cut it up before you weighed it and bought it, before you left the grocery store even. That's what I'm saying. That might be kind of cool. Yeah.
Let me cut let me cut away all the waste before I pay for it, and then I'll pay you by pound. You see? For what I'm actually gonna use, I wanna pay for this stump. Thanks for thanks for getting me all fired up about cauliflower. Sorry.
What? Nothing. There's, the fine folks over at LEGO. They've unveiled their latest, Jurassic Park set, which the Jurassic Park sets are always cool because they always have a big dinosaur in it. It.
Time out, though, because I think in the new Jurassic Park, Jonathan Bailey is in it. Is that correct? Enough. There's probably a Jonathan Bailey Lego man. That's what I'm saying.
Is it? Yeah. So, anyway, I'm looking at this new set, which is really super cool, and, it is a full on T Rex skeleton set. It's very, very cool. It's huge.
It's over three feet long. K. You gotta look at it. I'm trying to find it. I'm looking at it on IGN's website.
It's really super cool. Just the T rex? What what what's it called? It is called LEGO Jurassic World dinosaur fossils T rex skeleton. Okay.
And there is a little I I believe that's a little Jonathan Bailey. I mean, I if I had to guess. Shit. It's pretty cool. Oh, that's Pretty cool.
That's pretty dope. Yeah. It's a really cool LEGO set. I was trying to find out how much they're gonna charge for this thing. $2.50.
2 50. Yep. It is 3,145 pieces. It does come with the minifigures of doctor Alan Grant and doctor Ellie Sattler. Those are that's, Which are the two lead characters from the original Jurassic Park movie.
Yeah. It's designed to be a showpiece, and it will be available in just a couple of weeks with 250 price tag, a massive three foot T Rex skeleton. Three feet? It's super, super cool. Really cool.
It's really, really cool. How much did you say it is? $2.50. 2 50. Yeah.
Which, you know, in the in the world of LEGO, two fifty for over 3,000 pieces, that's that's pretty awesome. It is an 18 age group, meaning that it's meant for display rather than play. And it also may include some more advanced building techniques that may be tougher for kids to figure out. Because if you've ever put together a Lego set, you know it's not like the instruction booklet just shows you a picture and then the next picture, and you go, what changed? That's the fun game you get to play when you're building a LEGO set.
And so this one being an 18 plus means there's a little bit more advanced stuff in there, but really super cool. And, and for $2.50, you get to have your very own. LEGO T Rex fossil. Yeah. And it's cool looking.
This the base for it is really cool too. Like, it's, it's it's pretty legit. I like that thing. Like, it looks really cool. Would be super fun to work for LEGO.
I I wanna work for a where it would be really cool to work for LEGO. Yeah. And then other days, I'm like, that looks hard. Like, being a master builder would be fun, but it'd be hard. They also have the Lego Triceratops skull Oh.
Which is pretty cool. And they do have just a T Rex skull, set as well. And then they have the other, dinosaur sets, which are pretty cool. They even have a little Eddy T Rex. Is that a Duplo?
No. It's just a Lego for seven plus. If you if you got a little a little that wants to build a dinosaur, there is a seven plus set for $25. It's the Jurassic World little Edie T Rex toy dinosaur builder toy. Looking at the triceratops Skull?
Skull. Yeah. It's pretty cool too. It is cool. Yeah.
It's got a lot of similarities in the, in the building of that one. A lot of the same color of LEGO. And that one's a nine plus, not an 18 plus. So anyway smaller. It is considerably smaller.
Cool. Yeah. I thought that was pretty neat. Lego is pretty cool. I would like to have, that on display in the house somewhere as we talked about unnecessary things.
Necessary. An unnecessary thing? Unneeded. You you don't think, having, a T rex Lego skeleton in the library on the on the, bookshelf would be kinda cool? No.
You know why? Because I want books there and not a Lego. That's fair. That's fair. It's a bookshelf, not a Lego.
A Lego shelf. I I get it. I'll build a separate shelf for it. Fine. Great.
Okay. Cool. Hey, you. Hey. Would you rather this or that?
Would you rather have a built in translator on your phone that instantly deciphers any language I pretty much do. Or an app that finds the best local deals wherever you go. I think there's an app for that too. Which one would you rather have? Oh, I could have both.
They're for free. You can you can only have one. I think I'd use the deal one more. Would you? Yeah.
Not me. I would use the language one. I want the language one. Where do you go that you feel like you need that? Like, I go I go out shopping.
I feel like I need to get the deal. I don't necessarily go anywhere where there's lots of languages. But That's what I'm saying. But I want to I want it. I want to.
I want it. But I'm telling you, Google Translate already does that. Why you gotta harsh my vibe? I'm not harsh in any vibe. I'm telling you harsh in my vibe.
Already have that installed on your phone. You can use it. That's what I'm trying to say. Okay. I guess I'm going with the deals.
But that's also a thing, I think. I think there are several apps and websites and stuff that already have that capability. Like, even the grocery app we were talking about the other day. Yeah. I can put the coupons in there.
Like, I can go get the deals. What are you trying to say? Are you trying to say the reason you're silly, would you rather No? Yeah. Never would I ever.
That's not a nice thing to say, and I only say nice things. What I was trying to say is that perhaps these things already exist, and that's not your fault. I've been I've been in situations where I have felt like a genius. Like, I have come up with the greatest ideas and sliced bread, and I am so excited. And then I go and tell somebody about it, and they're like, that's been a thing for decades or centuries.
And I go, well, I'm just thinking about it now, and I think it's a great idea. Well, k. So, like, I invented nursing pads once. That was a big deal when that happened. And then you went, no.
That's already a thing. And I went, well, good it is. Good thing. Good it is. Yeah.
Good it is a thing. Because if it wasn't, you'd be you'd be wishing it was right now. That's what. Good it is. Yeah.
Good it is. Good one today. Would you rather this to that? This was fun. This was fun.
I was clicking around on eastidahonews.com just a minute ago, and I, I stumbled across something that I thought was kind of exciting and fun, and I wanted to share it with you. Okay. Pocatello improv troupe. Improv? Yeah.
Pocatello improv troupe to hold two day improv a thon festival, which is really exciting. That is exciting. It is the comedy project, which is really cool. Tiffany, Briscoe, who is the current president of The Comedy Project, helped, you know, put together all the information in this article, which is really cool. So, you and I, historically, were a part of the comedy project years ago in the early two thousands.
We were kind of part of, not the very early iteration, but probably, I would say, the second the second set of people. Now let's be clear. When you say we were a part of it Yeah. We yes. We were a part of it.
I you more so than me, I just played music in between the improv games. So You were a crucial part of part of it. Yeah. It's not necessarily Because here's the thing. You're downplaying what your role was because you in the improv world had the, had the power to take a playlist, which was literally a hard drive of music.
That's right. We didn't have We didn't have streaming services and on demand stuff. Like, you had to download everything or or transfer your CDs to a hard drive, and you would go through. And whatever might happen in the improv scene on stage, you would find a song that you could play after that thing that tied into what just happened. You were doing improv in your own way in a big way for the show, which was cool.
I kinda liked doing that. Yeah. It was fun. It was super cool. And we constantly were adding new music to that hard drive so you'd have lots of stuff to search for, and it was really fun.
It was fun. I was the so if you think about improv and you know, like, whose line is it anyway, for example. And Drew Carey was the host of that show for a long time. I was sort of that Drew Carey type character in, in regards to I helped run the games. I talked to the crowd.
I wore the referee shirt. You took the suggestion. All of that. Yeah. So I was doing the crowd work stuff.
The out for when the game had ran, of course. Yeah. It hit the buzzer kinda thing. So that was my role. I wasn't necessarily one of the improv actors.
But you and I, did travel all the way to Toronto in, what, 02/2006 to go to the improv, International Improv Fest. Like, we we were part of the troupe in in a lot of ways, which was really fun. It was fun. So in here, they talk about two decades ago, The Comedy Project started with about five or six members, and it has grown and fallen over the years. Currently, The Comedy Project has about 23 members throughout the Pocatello Tropic area, which is great to hear.
We do know some of those that are still acting. We still have Well, it has. With, people that started it. And we've been we've been kinda talking a little bit about reunion stuff, which might be a lot of fun. So I don't know if that'll be happening, at this particular thing, but it might be.
It's happening March at The Warehouse, which is on Second Avenue in Pocatello. It's an improvathon comedy festival, which is really cool. And if you wanna learn more about this or maybe you're in the Pocatello area or outside area and you've been interested in, checking out improv or being part of an improv troupe or you wanted to give it a shot because you watched Michael Scott do it in the office, whatever it is that you you think you wanna maybe try out improv, they do, different auditions, each year so that you can, you know, potentially become a part of it. If you'd like to be a member of the troop, they do have that kind of stuff, all the time. Lots of hilarious talented people.
