Hey. It's Josh and Chantel, and this is Wake Up Classy 97, the podcast, a replay of today's full show in about an hour. It's Thursday, February 6. On today's show, we don't really celebrate Valentine's Day. Although, apparently, that's a trap that was set for me twenty five years ago.
I mean, I just want some some acts of love. That's all. That's all. My fault. Just My fault.
You have to remind me that you love me every now and then. Yeah. Words of affirmation, that is your love language. And gifts. And, apparently, gifts.
The Super Bowl host city has a ton of work before kickoff. Yeah. Like, way more than I would ever wanna be in charge of. Kind of some yeah. A logistical nightmare.
Yeah. I think that's what you called it. Josh had meat on the bone for dinner, and it was a big deal. Look at me. Evolving.
Evolving. Look at me grow. I'm a big scooper and bread ripper. Big scooper bread ripper. What?
That's your rap name? Yeah. It's not a great rap name. Street cred for life. Big Scooper, Bread Ripper.
Remember riding on a foot as a kid? Yes. No. No? We'll just figure it out on the day.
Yeah. That's it's life's motto. Figure it out on the day. Figure it out. That's future Josh's issue.
Figure it out on the day. On the day. There's a ghost in that movie. Which movie? That movie.
That movie with three guys and a baby? Yes. Three guys and a baby. Three guys and a baby. And a mustache.
Three guys, a baby with a mustache. Not the baby with a mustache. And a ghost? Josh isn't very good at the hear me out game. Apparently.
Josh hit the jackpot when he met me. Come on. Now slow down. New ribbon award. Yeah.
Give me a sash and a bouquet because I won first prize. Lucky. Yeah. That's that's me. M E E in interviewed Chris Hansen on eastadahoenews.com?
Yeah. That's a cool interview. And be quiet. It's late. It's a little more aggressive than that.

You don't like that? No. Don't. What's wrong with that? I don't care for it.
Hi, Chantel? No. You you weren't looking at me when I was making that voice. What face do you think I made when I make that voice? Your face gets all scrunchie and your mouth gets all little.
A a scrunchie face and a little mouth. Yeah. Do it. No. Just like this.
Hey, hand hand. Just what I expected it to look like. It's not a scrunchie face, and it's not a tiny mouth. Yeah. It kinda No.
That would be like this one. You got, like, a thin it's thin. Your mouth is thin. Yes. I don't know.
Why? Because I don't like it. That's interesting. Why not? Because I don't.
I like your regular voice. I like your regular voice. Just be regular. You know how you hate going in the basement when it's dark? If you were in the basement and the voice went, hey, candy.
From a creepy corner? Just all around. It's not that scary. In the dark basement by yourself? Hey, Kinta.
Did you have something to say for real, or you just I was saying good morning. You're just gonna do that weird voice. I was just saying good morning. Oh. Good morning.
That's, that's really I didn't have a You didn't have anything much more to say? I mean, not really. I wanted to say good morning. Good morning. It's an official reminder that, next Friday, a week from tomorrow is Valentine's Day.
Oh. So if that happens to be something, that you celebrate in, you know, a big way. For us, I mean, we've decided years and years ago that Valentine's Day is just a day. You're right. We did celebrate that.
Is this is where twenty years later, it becomes the trap that you set? Is that what's happening? We just decided that we didn't need a day. Like, every day could be Valentine's Day. Official Alright.
Declaration that we put together? Or I don't like how you're playing this. Oh, really? Yes. Yeah.
I don't like it. Well, that's too bad, isn't it? Oh, boy. Just teasing. No.
It's right. We did not Oh, did we? Valentine's Day has never been a big thing for us. When we had little kids, I tried to make a gift for our little kids. For sure.
I would get the heart pizza. Right. I would get flowers. A little Valentine chocolates and yeah. No.
I I know. Today is national Valentine's shopping reminder day. It's a reminder that it's coming up in a week from tomorrow. So you have eight days to get it done. I would rather here's the thing.
And maybe you don't know this, Josh. I'm about to. I would I would rather you surprise me on any other day. Just a random That is correct. We've talked about that.
Something that made me think of you. Correct. I was thinking of you. I brought flowers home for you. Right.
Rather than, here's the day I'm supposed to tell you that I love you. Correct. I don't that was what the the conversation was. It feels like it makes it obligatory. Yeah.
And we don't like the obligation. So do it do it anytime. When we were new, when our relationship was new and we were trying to go out on Valentine's Day Oh, what a bad experience we had. We had bad experience. Yeah.
We, tried to make a reservation. They wouldn't let us make a reservation. We showed up for dinner at the restaurant. They completely ignored us. We were in our early twenties, and they were literally looking over our heads to pick other people Yeah.
To come and sit down and eat. And that was, not a fun experience, and, it wasn't until last year that we returned to that restaurant. We both got that restaurant. Since. No.
Me neither. Because that's rude. Yeah. And the only reason we went was because some friends were like, hey. We wanna go to dinner at this place, so we went with them.
And I think we real their business really suffered because we go there. I speak with my wallet. They have missed out on the potential of serving me and you. Yeah. And Rude.
And, and that was rude. That was rude. It was rude. And I won't ever forget it because you know why? I hold grudges.
You hold grudges. Yeah. So Yeah. So thanks for ruining Valentine's Day. That was the thing, wasn't it?
Because everywhere was busy. Yeah. So we couldn't even go out to eat because Right. Everywhere was busy. And so I went, this is dumb.
Let's just go home. We can celebrate a different day. You can tell me you love me a different day. Yep. Like, February can do it in this place.
Please don't. Why? That's what I got you for Valentine's Day. I've already shopped. Take it back.
I did. It's no returns. I'm leaving. Good morning. Did you ever wanna host the Super Bowl?
Like, the it's the city? Did you ever want our city to host the Super Bowl? Well, we don't have a pro team, let alone a stadium. Okay. That's true.
You do need that. It never occurred to me because we'd never had we'd never had as an option. Well, you do need a stadium, to be sure, but you also need a lot of other things that are interesting. Well, you're gonna need a bunch of infrastructure like hotels and restaurants for people to stay at and eat. Yeah.
So those those are real important. There's also a lot of strange demands. Okay. So So, whoever is the host city gets a list of things from the NFL that have to provide. Correct.
The city themselves have to provide. And sixteen months before the game, the NFL will send a 80 people to the host city to inspect the region and make sure that they have everything they need. And and they have to provide exclusive free use of 35,000 parking spaces for game day parking for NFL staff. Then the NFL has the option to install ATMs that accept NFL preferred credit cards in exchange for cash to cover up to other ATMs. Then team hotels must agree to televise the NFL network for one year leading up to the Super Bowl.
Then if mobile mobile service is too weak at the team hotels based on the discretion of the NFL Yeah. The host committee will install boosters Yeah. And or antennas. Yeah. They get the NFL gets full tax exemption from the city and state and local taxes for tickets to the Super Bowl.
That's really wild to me. The host city They're not a non for profit organization. What? Or Well, They seem to think they are. Okay.
The host city must give the NFL the use of at least 20 billboards at no charge for promotional use. Then here's the craziest part. That not oh, the this is it gets worse. Okay. Go ahead.
Then the host city has to provide access to three top tier golf courses so it can host a tournament on Super Bowl weekend. What if it's okay. So if it was hosted in East Idaho, no. It can't. Can't.
Golf golf's out. Then they must also provide two top tier bowling alleys also for free for a bowling tournament the Wednesday before the Super Bowl. Who okay. Then and here's the last thing. Keeps going.
I know. Then they must also provide free apartment housing to the NFL staff for over a month before the game. This is a lot of For free. For free. Well, for free to the NFL.
Yeah. The NFL. Who's Someone's making money. Huge multibillion dollar industry. Yeah.
Especially now since they got old t Swifty in there. Yeah. That's true. Come on. So who's hosting this year?
New Orleans? Yeah. They must have been inspected, and they must have I mean, you'd have to be on top. They had to. They get What a weird writer.
Like, you know, you see the ones from bands. They're like brown M and M's only. Like, this is their brown M and M's only. You got two top tier golf courses, but I don't know about that third one. I don't think this is gonna cut it.
Field. It's weird. Right? Yeah. That's that's a lot.
And then everything for free. They get everything for free. And then you get all of these NFLers NFLers. Departing on your not departing, but, like Descending upon your city. Upon your city.
And then We're here, and everything is for free. There's well, everything is for free to the NFL, but then those tournaments, they're going to have celebrities. They're gonna have athletes. They're gonna have whomever competing in those, and those people are going to pay the NFL to be a part of those things. So the NFL's overhead is zero Yeah.
And they get to make all the profit on whatever their org whatever they want. They can make money on whatever they want. And then I guess the host city makes money on people coming to watch the Well, the tourism. Sure. But they I don't think they get money on ticket sales.
Does the NFL pay to use the, I don't know. Arena? I don't know. Interesting. That's wild to me, though.
That's a lot. So, no, I don't wanna be a host city. I also don't wanna be the one in charge of organizing any of that. No. It doesn't sound awful.
Ugh. Talk about project development. Yeah. Logistical nightmare. There's a place in Pennsylvania called Cranberry Township.
Oh. I knew you'd be excited about the name of that town. I like Cranberries. I yeah. I know that about you.
What do they do in Cranberry Township? Well, in Cranberry Township, Pennsylvania, there's a donkey named Jill. Jill had quite the adventure when Jill fell through the ice of a frozen pond. Jill. And, Jill's owners, David and Angela, they were worried because they couldn't imagine a way to get Jill out of the water and onto dry land.
It was like complete helplessness because she weighs so much is what Angela said. Oh, no. We're immediately thinking, what are we gonna do and how are we gonna do this? David and Angela called first responders who were able to help the Cranberry Township Volunteer Fire Company. That sounds like it's from a storybook.
It sounds like a Hallmark movie. The Cranberry Township Voluntary Fire Company. Voluntary? Yep. Along with the rescue teams, other rescue teams, including water rescue specialists arrived and they worked together.
They, came up with a couple of different solutions. They tried a couple of things. They used a rope system to get the 600 pound donkey out of the water. That's a big donkey. Mhmm.
And then moved her to the barn where she was covered with blankets Yeah. And treated, by a veterinarian to prevent hypothermia. Jill started slowly improving overnight. And thanks to the hard work and creativity of all those rescue crews who showed up at the fro frozen pond, She is expected to make a full recovery. Jill, the donkey from Cranberry Township, Pennsylvania Oh, jeez.
Is gonna make it. Be careful where you step, Jill. Yeah? 600 pounds, bud. That's a lot of poundage.
Little hooves on the ice. Crack. Crack. Crack. Crack.
Crack. Crack. What a scary day for Jill. Aw. Poor Jill.
But everybody's okay. Yep. Jill's safe. She's all warm and toasty in the barn, so things are okay. Cranberry Township.
You're looking it up? I bet it's cute town. I bet they have, those bridges that look like little red barns. I bet you're right. Oh, it looks fun.
It looks fun? Yeah. Yeah. They have an adventure park and a Oh, yeah. They do.
It's the first picture that comes up. It's a picture of kids riding a little thing. Cranberry Township. Welcome to Cranberry Township. There's an abandoned Burger King.
I think every city has to have one of those. They've got they've got a couple abandoned bill build buildings. Like, those are coming up as a YouTube thing. Oh, no. Somebody in that area makes abandoned building YouTubes.
Hey. Coming up on Saturday, they have a cranberry cup mom prom. How about that? And a sweetheart bingo. I mean, come on.
Cranberry Township. Cranberry Township is the happening place. How many people live in Cranberry Township? I don't know. 700?
No. That's their area code. That's not it. 33,000. Hey.
That's pretty good. It's not very big, Cranberry Township. Well, I'm gonna go to the mom prom. Okay. Have a good time.
It's good news to get you going. You've evolved. Would you say I've evolved? Why would you say that? Why would you say I've evolved?
You've evolved because you you've evolved, I guess, in a small way. You don't, for as long as I can remember, you have not liked to eat. And anybody who knows you knows this. You don't like to eat meat on the bone. You don't like chicken wings.
You don't like fried chicken legs. You don't like chicken. T bone I don't like T bone steak. I don't like You didn't used to like ribs. Okay.
That's fair. I've I've evolved on ribs. There was a time that I bought you chicken at my favorite restaurant. I used to go there before I met you. And then when I met you, I was like, you gotta try this place.
You gotta try this place. And you looked at the menu, and you said, I don't know what to order. I said, get this. You'll like this. And it came It was a Styrofoam bucket of meat.
Chicken on the bone. Yuck. I didn't know it was gonna come on the bone. It was it was not. It was a bucket of bone in chicken.
It was not. And shredded that chicken for you. Remember that? I do remember that. You shouldn't have done that because it was not it.
Listen. And to be fair, like, that was it was a Thai food place. Mhmm. I had never had Thai food. You could have picked anything else.
I did. Because I've had a lot of Thai food now, and pretty much everything else is great. There were two things. I suggested that chicken on the bone, and you hated that. And then I also suggested that curry.
And you were like, no. This is not it either. There were two things remember that. And then I was Oh, no. Because it was that, that, like yeah.
That and it's not that. I don't like that still. The two things you suggested were the worst things on the menu. A bucket of boiled bone in chicken. It wasn't boiled.
It was like teriyaki chicken. No. It was not like teriyaki chicken. It was a boil of boiled birds. You make it sound like it was gross.
It was not. I ate it. It was delicious. Anyway, so I've had a lot of Thai food since then. I had a hard time convincing them.
Curries a lot. I've had, Pad See ew is great. I like Pad Thai. There's so many other Thai foods that you could have been like, try this. But, no, you went for the gross ones.
No. Those are good. Dude, I have a thing with, meat on the bone. Bone is your big thing. Except for ribs.
And I I've got to attribute my, giving ribs a pass to to a friend of mine who is a grill master barbecue competitive guy. He is. And, and he made some ribs, and I went, okay. I am okay with this. And what I learned about ribs is that ribs don't have that gross stringy connective tissue that Chicken.
That t bone steaks have that The the tendon? That well, the tendon stuff in the chicken is Ugh. I can't do it. I told you, chicken is just gross. Do it.
I hate chicken. So I do boneless chicken wings. I like that a great deal, and that's where my chicken ends. I do I I don't mind chopped up dark meat. I can't strip the rotisserie.
I don't know how you do that. I can't do it. But we've made Thanksgiving dinner before. Did you carve the turkey? Yeah.
I can handle that. You can handle that. But you can't. That's the same as But I shredding the chicken. Not really because, I when I'm carving it, I've got the knife and stuff, and I'm just it's just the breast meat right there that's coming off.
And then the, like, the leg meat stuff, I don't deal with. I don't deal with like, once I've carved off the plate of meat, whatever happens to the turkey after that is somebody else's business. I don't deal with that. What about a ham? I don't like ham.
But also that spiral cut with that bone down the middle? Uh-huh. No. No. No.
The ribs? I'm okay with ribs. Okay. Now I watched you because you had ribs last night. Yeah.
And I watched you You still didn't like, a lot of people will take their rib and just Oh, no. Not. That the bone doesn't go near my mouth. No. You don't do that.
I used the fork to pull off as much as I could, and there was still some that, like, held on to the bone, and I didn't, like, go scraping. No. I can't do that either. I can't I don't know how people do that. Like, they suck it all off that.
Uh-huh. Uh-huh. Or when you see people with a giant turkey leg at the fair It's not a turkey leg. Not? You ever seen a turkey that big?
Nope. That's a ham leg. You're eating ham. Still gross. It's a pig leg that they're branding as a turkey.
I know. Why are they doing that? Why don't they just say ham leg? Because who wants to buy a ham leg? Who wants to buy a turkey leg?
Not me. I'm not a caveman. Me neither. Walk around the fair like a caveman? No way.
I was just surprised you ordered the ribs last night. I went, who even are you? And they were decent. Yeah. They were pretty good.
Yeah. I can handle ribs. And it was it was a baby back ribs, a little short, rack. It wasn't like I had a whole plate of giant half a cow. Like, it was a small little thing.
It was only, I don't know, six or eight inches of ribs. It wasn't that much. I didn't like them, but you did, and I'm happy for you. Well, thanks. I'm happy for me.
Good. I got to eat ribs. Good deal. So go me. You've evolved.
Just the other day, I don't know, a week ago or so, you earned a new nickname on the show. It's my rap name. It's not a rap name. Yeah. It's it gives me street cred.
Your, new nickname is Big Scooper? Big Scooper. No. You're Big Scooper. Big Scooper.
And, that is because whenever there is, chips and salsa or some sort of appetizer dip on the table, you like to take the big scoops. I do. Everybody does. Who'd that's what they are. A dip is for scooping.
I don't see what the problem is. I don't. What do you do when you scoop? What do you do when you have chips and stuff? The big scooper.
You're just a dip. I don't do the big scoop. I what are you talking about? You're a big scooper. The quantity on your bread or chip or what have you is a big scoop.
It's fine. You're the big scooper. So last night, when we were having dinner and we ordered a dip with, delicious little breads, I it came with a spoon for the dip. And before I could even dish up some so that you could have your own plate of scoop as much as you want, you you were like, no. I'm just scooping.
I'm scooping. Get that in there. Get it in there. Scooping. I thought here's what I thought, Josh.
Mhmm. I thought we ordered that dip for everyone to share. We did. And I thought that my family loved me enough that they that we were all just gonna dip into the dip Yeah. To share.
Well, the kids weren't interested in the dip. Right. So it was really you and me. But I thought you loved me enough that you were like, yes. I'll share this dip with you.
And so then I just grabbed my my bread And I'm gonna dip. And I dipped. And I hear a scoff from you. It wasn't a scoff. It was a laugh.
I went, oh, man. And I go, what? And you go, well, I was just working on getting you your own plate. Yeah. So you could scoop to your heart's content.
Scoop away, Scooper. But I'm fine scooping in the communal dip. Why do you have to get me my own plate of dip? I thought here's what I thought, Josh. I thought you loved me enough that you would share your dip with me.
We were sharing the dip. Apparently not. The dip was being shared. Apparently, I had to have my own plate of dip. So did I.
I I scooped onto your plate first. I was trying to serve you first, and then I scooped onto my own plate. Here's what else I realized at dinner last night because they also gave us some bread. Yeah. And the four of us were sharing some bread, but they didn't give us a knife.
They didn't You had a knife in your silverware. Knife in our silverware thing, but it was a steak knife, not a bread knife. And so the steak knife wasn't necessarily cutting the bread the way that it should have been cut. And so I tell Emery, I'm just gonna rip it. We're just a family here.
We can just rip the bread. That's what people do. We break bread. Just rip a piece of bread off, and she was having none of that. And she said, give me the knife.
I'm just gonna cut everyone's bread. So she was mad at me because I was ripping the bread. You were mad at me because I was scooping the dip. I wasn't mad. I'm gonna get my own table next time.
Yeah. Okay. I'm gonna get my own dip. Yeah. I'm gonna get my own bread.
Right. I'm gonna sit by myself. That's what I said was the solution before, if you'll recall. I don't care how much you wanna scoop so long as it's your own thing. Or if it's salsa because you're the big scooper.
Salsa's the big one. The little tiny little bowl of salsa they bring out is, maybe six chips for you. It's not enough for the table because of the big scuba. I'm crushed. Don't be crushed.
You're not crushed. No. I'm not crushed. It's just the facts. I'm not gonna change my habits.
I know you're not, and that's why I'm trying to make things worse in the world where you live so that we can all enjoy chips and salsa, bread man. Bread being sliced or torn, and dips that That's the problem. I'm not taking away from anybody. Everybody has the same amount of scoopage. I don't think so.
Specifically, when it comes to chips and salsa. What? They just need to bring more than one little bowl of salsa. That's it. That's all there is to it.
You can ask for more. So now do you wanna be known as big scooper and bread ripper, or do you want bread ripper big scooper? The bread ripper. I don't wanna know be known as any of them. Yeah.
Big scooper bread ripper. Right. Or is it bread ripper big scooper? Nah. Nah.
Big Scoopas first? Yeah. Big Scoopa. Or just Big Scoopa. Or just the Big Scooper.
Big Scooper. It's not I don't think it's a hip rap name. I do. I It's like I see that you think it's a big hip rap name. It's so much street cred.
People hear big scooper coming down the street. They're like, watch out. Yeah. They go hide your salsa. Big scooper's coming.
Here comes the big scooper. Put the dips away. Here comes the big scooper. Yeah. Alright.
I like it. I like it. There are lots of things I miss about being a kid. Running around outside? Yes.
Did you ever play kick the can? Yes. You did? Yeah. With the neighborhood kids?
Yes. It was a good game. And capture the flag. Those were all great. Yep.
Here's some other things I miss about being a kid. Are you ready? Sure. When your parents had their leg crossed and they would swing their leg and you could sit on their ankle Oh. And they would bounce you on their foot I know what you're talking about.
Or when your dad would give you shoulder rides. Yeah. That was fun. Or I can give you a shoulder ride. You can sit up there.
Okay. You'll no. You'll freak out. I won't like it. You're right.
Or I don't know if your parents ever did this, but you could sit on their foot, and they would walk with you on their foot. Yep. I did that one. That was so fun. Yeah.
I don't remember doing much of the other two, but I do remember doing that one. And then when your parents would take you in your hands and swing you? I know we did that with our kids, but I don't remember that with kids. Doing that as a kid either, but I remember doing that with my kid. Because I would have been pretty little.
What I do miss is just riding on a foot. God. That was fun. You liked riding on a foot? Yeah.
Yeah. Can we try that now? No. Why? I don't have the strength.
Saying I'm a big scooper? I'm no. I'm not saying you're a big scooper. I'm saying you're not three. Sounds like you're saying I'm a big scooper.
You're, not three years old. That's Let's just what I'm saying. Let's just try it. You need to find a giant. Because I'm a big scooper.
Because you're not three. I just don't think your foot is big enough. I think that's the real problem. Fine. You don't think your foot.
It's my it's because I'm not a giant. That's right. I fit into the Hobbit category, not the giant category. And you do remember doing that? I do remember holding on to a leg sitting on a foot that was walking.
Was it your dad's foot? Probably. Yeah. Yeah. It was always my dad's foot.
My mom never did that. Get off my ankles. Yeah. Get away. Yeah.
I've seen enough of you. I got things to do. Yeah. I've seen enough of you. Yeah.
Get off my ankle. Who invited you into my home? Yeah. What are you doing? That's enough of you.
No. Those are things I wish I could go back and do. Just that short list? No. I just miss being a kid.
I see. You miss being three and being tossed around and riding ankles. I don't necessarily remember being three, but there are certain moments that I I remember riding on a foot and riding on shoulders. Yeah. Yeah.
What a good time to be alive. What a good time riding around on a foot. We've talked go ahead. Yeah. What were you gonna say?
Go. You go. You say. No. No.
You say. No. You You go. We've talked about. We've talked a little bit about how our kids don't make plans.
I mean, they have plans, but when I say what's the plan, they say, we don't like, we're doing something. Plans. We're just gonna figure it out. Yeah. We're just gonna figure it out as we go.
Yeah. It's you're a boomer if you're making plans. If you have a schedule Did they say boomer? Yeah. They call me a boomer all the time.
Well, it could be a boomer boomer. Not. Oh, I defeat. I you're not. Anyway So we were at dinner with some family members last night, and Beck has got a road trip planned with some cousins and some friends.
Right. And I was asking them some questions about who was driving and where they were staying and how everybody was gonna fit in the car. And they were getting annoyed at me because how dare I ask what plans are. And then the one quote that stuck with me and just gave me so much anxiety was, I don't know. We'll figure that out on the day.
Yeah. That's that's what my nephew said. We'll figure it out on the day. Oh, and then he just kept eating like Yeah. No.
We'll figure it out on the day. I don't know. We'll figure it out. Yeah. Not worried about it.
No. I'm eating dinner. That's for future me to worry about. It gives me so much anxiety, but I also applaud it at the same time. I wish I could live that life.
You can. I wish I could be that carefree. You can. You just gotta figure it out on the day. I can't live that way.
I'm just I wasn't born. I wasn't born that way. Small steps. How? Like, well, just little ones?
Don't just, like, try to do the whole project at once. Just go little steps. Be like, I'm not gonna worry about that right now. I'm gonna worry about that on the day. Ah.
Just something insignificant. I can't. I can't. Like soup like soup before, guests arrive. Figure it out on the day.
Can't. You can. Do that. You absolutely can. I know I can.
I don't want to because that would give me so much dread. It would? Yeah. Why? Because it's too anxiety ridden.
I don't I can't live that way, Josh. I want to. I'm just I think you could figure it out on the day. Figure it out on the day. I'll try.
You're not gonna try. There's no way you're trying to figure it out on the day. No. I'm not. No.
I'm not. There's it would break your entire psyche to figure it out on the day. It would. Absolutely would. That's why when we talk about, the twentieth anniversary vacation idea Yeah.
And we talk about different places that we might wanna go, it's hard for me to go we're planning so far ahead. Like, there's so many variables I just don't know. Like, prices are gonna change, all this stuff. Like, it feels like as we get closer to the date, like, maybe we just try to figure it out on the day. Which I'm not opposed to that idea, though.
I'm not. Like, you show up at the airport and you try and figure it out on the day. If it's just you and me, like, that's fine. I'm ready to just wing it. Yeah.
But it's when there's other people involved because I don't wanna disappoint other people. I don't wanna disappoint you either. That's not what I'm trying to say. But it's easier if it's just you and me or even our kids involved in the plans because it just feels easier to be more like, like, ah, let's just wing it. Whereas if other people are involved, I'm like, no.
There's too much at risk here. Yeah. I don't want people to be mad or hungry or upset or cranky. Well, that's their problem. I'd rather my family be mad and upset and cranky.
The peep I'd I'd rather people I'm close to and have to live with and see all the time are mad than That's not what I'm trying to say. I know. Figure it out on the day. Just try and figure it out on the day. Let's let's wing it.
Let's wing our vacation. See what happens. Let's go where we go. Do what we do. I'm probably gonna shop around for a deal.
Yeah. You're not a I'm You're not a figure it out on the day either. I will spend a lot of time planning and figuring it out beforehand. And then what'll happen is I'll put the plan in place. And then once we get there, we figure it out on the day.
Okay. Like, that's what'll happen is there's a lot of planning. There's a lot of booking. There's a lot of that kind of stuff, but that's that's how it works. Inevitably, we go, okay.
We've got all of these things we can do. What do we want to do today? Figure it out on the day. Yeah. That's fine.
Right. I like that plan. Yeah. I like that way. A little bit of, There's a little bit of preparation and planning, but also a little bit of, like, go with the flow.
Yeah. Figure it out on the day. That's a good motto. Figure it out on the day. It is a good motto.
I'll worry about it when it's that day. Today is not that day. Why am I gonna waste energy on it? I can figure it out on the day. It's insignificant as to who's gonna ride in what seat.
I'll figure that out on the day. Figure it out. Yeah. I don't know. The Airbnb has bunk beds.
Who where's everybody gonna sleep? I don't know. We'll figure it out on the day. And that one I yeah. That one you absolutely can't figure it out on the day.
That's the attitude that that that exists from my nephew and our son. And it all works out. They're not concerned. They're not stressed. They're living their life.
They're gonna figure it out on the day. Have you seen three men and a baby? With That's a it was like a eighties, nineties movie. Right? And the guy from Cheers.
What's his name? Tony Danza. Not Tony Danza. Tony Danza is who's the boss guy. What's his name?
Ted Danson. Ted Danson. Ted Danson. Sure. Steve Guttenberg and You know how hold on just a second.
You know how people make those memes where they're like, this is Reese Witherspoon, and then this is Reese without her spoon. Okay. Ted Danson and Ted Standen could be one. Yeah. Yeah.
If I could find a picture of Ted Danson Danson and Ted Danson Standen, I could make that meme. You could. You could. It just popped in my that's how memes are made. Wow.
This is how my brain works. You know? And Tom Selleck was the other guy? No. Those are the three men.
Tom Selleck's mustache. Let's be real. I love that movie. Okay. I haven't I don't think I've seen it.
I've seen clip settle down. I've seen clips of that movie. I know you love that movie. Love that movie. But, no, I I don't think I've seen it.
No. We don't need to. Why? Because that's your next line is we have to watch that movie. You can watch it.
Go ahead. You don't I don't have to be a part of it. You can watch it. Enjoy. Share the joy with you.
Just enjoy. Okay. Listen. Here's what happened. When that movie first came out, there was a big, like, myth about something that happened in the movie, and it was like a big thing.
And everyone was like, have you seen that? And then you would have to rewind and stop to see it. And it was recently brought to my attention yesterday. What is it? There was a big thing that there was, like, a ghost boy in the movie.
A boy who's a ghost? Yeah. So you could you would watch the movie, and then in the background of one of the scenes and it's Ted and I remember the scene because I remember when this was, like, a big thing, and people were like, did you see the ghost? And it's a scene where Ted Danson's mom comes to meet the baby, and she's walking with the baby. And in the window, like, behind a curtain, you can see, like, the shape of, like, a of, like, a boy, and you're like, it's a ghost.
They captured the ghost on film. I'm looking. I don't see it. So what it turns out I see, like, a statue. It was a cardboard cutout of Ted Danson's character, and he he's he plays an actor in the movie.
And so he that cardboard cutout was left on set between scenes, and so it was, like, left there. But I remember when that movie was big, that came came out in 1987. So when that movie came out, it was like, did you ever see the ghost in the movie? Oh, I see. It but he's wearing, like, a hat.
Like like, the cardboard cutout is clearly a cardboard cutout. Not clear. I can I'm looking at it. It's clearly a cardboard cutout. Looking high def when you just could see it on your VHS.
It's a lot shorter. That's probably where the boy theory came from. It's not a life size cardboard cutout. It's it's substantially shorter. It's it's not even up to Ted's shoulders.
The thing that made it to my attention again was somebody brought it up on a TikTok video, and they said, how did we know about this? How did the world I don't know. Know about this? I've I've wondered that a lot about stuff that goes viral. How how did we all know all the nursery rhyme songs and all the things that we talked about?
Rumors. But how? I don't Like, one guy started that in your town? I don't know. How did I don't know.
And then how did it get to other towns, and everybody across the world has heard the same rumors. About the ghost boy and three men and a baby. Hear about the three men and a baby ghost, but there's other stuff that that comes up. But I don't know how it worked. I don't know how it started.
I don't know how it happened. It's fascinating, isn't it? It is very much so. Some other, movie urban myths. K.
A lot of them are kind of just like there's, like, a Superman curse. Yeah. That's a thing where, the actor that has played Superman ends up, dying young or getting injured, and not being able to act anymore. That's a that's a thing that And there's also a a poltergeist curse. I see.
But nothing else like three men and a baby. I tried to find something else that was kind of similar to that, but nothing. A lot of people there was a myth that, Walt Disney had his body cryogenically frozen. That could still be true. Beneath Disneyland's Pirates of the Caribbean ride.
That could still be true. Yeah. I mean, they know He was actually cremated. Allegedly. And there's no evidence that he even was interested in cryogenics.
Sure. So Why not, though? How fun. To be cryogenically prostrate. To have that as a rumor.
How fun. That sounds fun. Like, you know, you're never gonna be forgotten. Everybody knows you forever. And then one day when they figure out how to reanimate, ta da.
And then you see the state of your park and go, what happened? They gotta find your body first, I guess. What's in a capsule? Someone knows. What if that person dies and the secret dies with him?
It's one of those things where they have to replace the secret keeper. Mhmm. Oh, no. I'm making this up. Yeah.
It seems like too that seems like too much work. To to replace the secret keeper? Yeah. The person who stands guard over the cryogenic closet? Yeah.
It's too much work. It's one guy. But then you gotta get replacements along the way when that guy dies. Is that person trustworthy? There's a whole thing.
You gotta you gotta apply for it. You wanna talk about cake? Yes. Always. There is this, this new game.
It's not new. Well, I was It's been around for a minute. It's it's taken over, headspace for, our teenage daughter Yeah. Which is an interesting thing. The game is called hear me out.
The way it works is you have a cake, and everyone's job is to, put on, like, barbecue score skewers, wooden skewers. Or toothpick. Or a toothpick. A picture of, a fictional character, that they think is handsome or Just beautiful. Not necessarily that.
Just something where you're like, I I kinda like their personality. Like, I'm attracted to this fictional character in some way. So it's called hear me out, and you would go hear me out. And you would say the name of the thing and then stick it in the cake. And so you'd go like, hear me out.
Mike Wazowski, and put a put the thing of Mike Wazowski in the cake. It's ridiculous. It is ridiculous, but it's also kind of funny. So we were talking to our daughter last night. I can't remember who she said some of her hear me outs were.
Do you remember? Oh, that one dude from Mulan. Oh, yeah. Yes. I don't remember who that is.
And that my my favorite part was, like, I just started, like, naming off ridiculous characters, like, the crazy frog. Like, that that that shouldn't be on anyone's list. Shang. Shang from From Mulan. From Mulan.
Yeah. But I liked, like, I like that game way better. Well and then you also said a real one. You said and most often, these fictional characters are cartoon characters. Sure.
Yeah. So you said Mavis from Hotel Transylvania. Sure. I said Robinhood. Right?
Because I know you like Robinhood. Yeah. Aladdin. Okay. That's a hear me out for you.
Hear me out, Aladdin. Bandit. The dad. The dad? Louis' dad?
Yes. Hello? Yes. Have you seen Bandit? Bandit's the best.
Am I right? Yes. Bandit. And then Woody and Buzz. Oh, okay.
Sure. Why not? Why not? Those are my picks. What else do you got?
I don't know. Got anybody else? I really like looking through the ones that are weird. Like, somebody said, hear me out. Yosemite Sam.
Like, what? No. It's so it's so good. I like that way that's way more fun for me. Elmer Fudd?
Finding the weird ones. Yeah. Right? Like What other weird one do you have? Those those wind up those wind up duck.
Those wind up teeth that they go tongue, tongue, tongue, tongue, tongue with the feet. That's that's not even a character. It's a thing. It's just a thing. People put it on to hear me out.
Hear me out. Wind up teeth. Fred Flintstone. That's a weird one. Yeah.
That's that's a commitment to feet. Let's see. You gotta have another real one. Don't you have any other real ones? I haven't given it any thought.
Well, give you some thought. Pokemon in here. Pokemon. Yeah. What about Chili from No.
Louie? What? Oh. Why? Chili is the best.
Okay. Cool. I don't know. Maybe it's not the game for me. Maybe that's it.
Maybe hear me out is just not the game for me. Okay. Well, if I picked Robinhood, what about Maid Marian? Sure. You just don't know how to play.
I guess that's it. I I I don't know how to play the game. You don't. Well, gadget from Rescue Rangers There you go. Is, clearly on the list.
That is fun. That's a good one. I don't know, that the character in Fern Gully. Oh, yeah. I don't remember her name.
See, you do play this game. Yeah. I knew that Fern Gully one about you. Yeah. But I can't remember, I can't remember her name.
So I can't remember her name either. I And what's weird is you pull up the cast of Fern Gully, and it's like Robin Williams, Tim Curry. Oh, it must be Krista. Samantha Mathis played Krista. Krista.
Yeah. The main yeah. Which kinda has a little Mavis from Hotel Transylvania vibe. You got a type. Sometimes there's a type.
You do have a type for sure. It's it's big eyes, dark hair. Yeah. Yep. It's it's not hard.
Oh, a little bit of a weird personality. Yeah. That's yep. That's your type. Weird personality, big eyes, dark hair.

What does that mean? I've I would never in all of my dating days up to when I met you, never was I like, I gotta have I gotta I gotta have a supermodel. That was never my intention. And probably because, my self doubt was like, it'll never happen. Oh.

That's some questions. That's right. Go check out her interview. Seven questions with Emmy@eastidahonews.com. Hey.
Hey. Hey. Would you rather this or that? Are you ready? I'm as ready as I'm gonna be.
Oh, you're you're gonna be so ready. I'm ready. Would you rather have arms that work like pool noodles, so floppy and wiggly And then floaty. Floaty Or legs that bounce like pogo sticks No. Every time you walk.
Negative. I'm gonna let you know. I'm going pool noodle arms. I'm gonna work on my reasoning. What are you picking?
I'm gonna pick pool noodles. Why? Because I don't wanna jump like a pogo stick every time I walk. Simple. What's your reasoning?
Simple. I want floaty arms. No. I'm not very buoyant, so pool noodle arms might help. You are not very buoyant.
That's true. You are the least buoyant person I know. You sink like a rock. I know. That's so Charlie Brown.
I sink like a rock. You do. I don't understand why. I don't either. You just really really can just sink.
Straight to the bottom. You can't even tread water. Easy. Hey. Hey.
It's okay. Josh. Hey. Guess what? I'm very buoyant.
Okay. I got you. I got you, boo. Don't? Yes.
I do. Boo. No. You don't. Yes.
I do. No. Because when I'm on the bottom, you can't get down there. I'll I'll get you before you go to the bottom. I'll see you starting to slip down, and I'll grab you.
Alright. Listen up. Listen up. Here's the here's the skinny on the swimming. I took swimming lessons as a child.
Okay. I don't think I ever did well. Oh. And there was a lot of fear involved in that. Fear of water?
Fear of drowning. Fear of whatever. There was a lot of fear and anxiety. I was a very anxious child, like, a lot of anxiety and fear. You wouldn't know that now because you're Oh, I'm so confident.
You are. It's I've definitely changed, in in a lot of those ways. I was a very, very timid individual. Okay. And, and so swimming was never a a strong thing for me.
It was never a fun recreational thing for me, and so I just avoided it. So now as an adult, I have limited ability, and I get tired. I I just get tired. Treading water is hard. I know.
And you're like, dude, I could tread water all day. I could stay up here and just do this. And I'm like, good for you. I'll see you at the bottom where I'll be sitting crisscross applesauce waiting for you to come get me. Because I can do that.
I can lay down on the bottom of the pool. I can swim. I can freestyle. I can do stuff. I can get out there in the water, and I'm not terrified so long as I know where the bottom of it is.
I got you. Do you know what I mean? Yeah. I get you. I can surface dive.
So even when you hit the bottom, I got you. Alright. The noodle arms are gonna help, though. That that is gonna help. That's why I picked it because I wanted to float.
It's nice to float. I bet. I bet it is. Sinking's cool, but I'd rather float. There's air up there.
The top. Yeah. There's air up there. Come hang out with me on the top of the water. Sure.
There's water, and there's air. And there's all of air. Yeah. That's great. Did you ever have a sleepover at your friend's house, and you were laughing so much that their mom had to come in and tell you guys to go to bed?
It happened at my house when I had friends staying over. Oh, really? Yeah. I mean, it was So your mom had to be the bad cop? Yeah.
I mean, she didn't yell or anything, but it was like, hey. It was probably my dad. It was probably my dad. Hey. You guys gotta keep it down.
It's two in the morning. I could see that. Yeah. And and there's probably I'm trying to think. When I stayed at my buddy Sean's house, did his did his dad come in and say anything?
Probably. He probably was like, guys, that's enough. Like, yeah. Yeah. You're right.
We'll keep it down. That sounds about right. We've never had to do that, have we, to our own kids? We've had to do it to our own son when he's playing video games late at night, and he's yelling in the headset. And we're like, dude.
Hey. It's late, man. People are trying to sleep. We gotta work in the morning. Oh, sorry.
Most of the time when our kids have sleepovers, they sleep downstairs. Yeah. And then they shut the door, and they can't even hear them. Yep. So I They're at the other end of the house.
I'm such a deep sleeper that I go, I don't care. Just let me sleep. But you can hear that dog. So you're not that deep a sleeper. They're just being quiet, or they're downstairs in that house.
They're away Yeah. From me. Yep. Go away from me. Go away from me.
But there's yeah. No. There's probably definitely been times where, yeah, I've had that happen, whether it was my parents or my friend's parents have definitely told us, hey. I was trying to I don't really wanna talk to my friend's parents ever stepping in either. I don't remember.
We were just so quiet. Aw. I'm sure it happened. I just don't remember. But then you have to do that awkward thing where you go, sorry, and you cover your face with your blanket.
Like, it was not me. It was my friend. Everybody Your daughter. It was your daughter. Yeah.
It wasn't me. I'm asleep. Exactly. Yeah. That's probably more of your speed.
You'd hear footsteps coming down the hall, and you'd be like, pretend to be asleep. Yeah. Because you do that now. Like, someone will get home and walk in the front door, and you'll be standing in the kitchen and go, pretend you're asleep, and just stand there, like It's funny every time. Is it?
Yes. Alright. Pretend you're asleep. The amount of times I've heard that a lot in our time together. Years?
Yeah. Still funny after all these years. Sleeping. And then you go wrote that song. And then you go, what?
I was sleeping. It's no. You weren't. You're standing up in the kitchen. Yeah.
Sleeping. This is what it's like to live with you. I'm fun. Hey. That's I'm fun.
