This is wake up classy 97, the podcast. It's a replay of today's full show in about an hour. It's Friday, January 10th. On today's show, Josh woke up cold and alone this morning. I know.
And I didn't even do anything to deserve it. I just woke up that way all by myself. There were only 3 pillows on the bed instead of 4, and I found you tucked away slumbering by yourself. Sorry, Charlie. Rude.
You did this. I did nothing. I was sleeping like a little quiet baby. Hey. I have good birthing hips.
That's what the woman at your church told you. Night socks are a thing now. I just can't wait to be back on the foot. What happened to cruising on a Friday night? I don't know.
Do you wanna see? What if we go cruising tonight? I don't know where the cruise trip is here. It's gotta be, well, let's just go drive around. We'll find it.
Okay. Who we gonna cruise for? Oh. Hey. What's up?
We're cruise We cruise. I guess, we could just cruise and just wave at people at the stoplight until we, get a wave back or something. That could happen. Like, what's up? We're cruising.
Hey. We're cruising. The top crust is the best crust. Is it? Yes.
Is it? For sure. You're you're sure about that? Yeah. For sure.
Okay. We went on a bowling date at Fat Cats. I found out that I, I'm pretty decent at a couple of things. Yes. Straight arm.
Straight arm. Slide the foot. Slide the foot straight arm. Where old people doing old things, it's not a bad thing. No.
It's not a bad enjoying doing these things. I am as well. We share a feel good Friday story from East Idaho News. Because it is a feel good Friday. Feel really good.
Yeah. Scientists have discovered a mummified saber tooth cat. Now the real question though, teeth outside of lips or not? We don't know yet. We don't know yet.
I tried to trap Josh in a corner with my would you rather question. Yeah. What's up with that? I didn't. Oh, you'll hear it in the in the show, and you're gonna side with me.
I guarantee you're gonna go, yeah. She tried to trap it. I didn't try to trap you. Yeah. Just wait.
You'll hear. You trapped your own self. No. I did no such thing. Would you let a previous resident give birth in your home?

Just search for wake up classy 97. Here's today's show. How about a Friday, finally? How Can we out. Can we just talk about how big this week has been?
This beak has this beak? Yeah. This been that big. Wig. Yeah.
This week has been bananas. It's been so long. We even went to bed early last night because I just couldn't take it. I said, I'm so tired. But then, Working 5 hours a week is hard.
Five hours or 5 days? Days. Yeah. They'll say 5 hours. Man, what's that like?
What were you gonna say? You're gonna say something else? Remember. Oh. I I don't know.
Okay. Must not have been that important. Well, what's happening? What's going on? How are you this morning?
Barely even saw you. When? At all since last night. I went to bed. I woke up.
There you were. Haven't seen you for hours. What's new? I had to go sleep somewhere else last night. Yeah.
What's up with that? I woke up in the bed, alone, and I thought to myself, oh, man. She got up early. And then, I noticed your pillow was gone, and I went, oh, no. What did I do?
And then I thought, well, I I expect to find her on the couch in the living room. Maybe the dog was wrestling around and was, was barking, and she just thought, I'll just go lay on the couch and let the dog sleep at my feet, and it'll be fine. Not on the on on the living room couch. Living room couch is not comfortable. Well, that's why I expected to find you.
No. And then I, and then I didn't, and then I thought, well, we got a whole basement, so maybe she's in there. My first thought was, I wonder if something happened with one of the kids. Maybe she is bunked out with one of the kids, but, no, you were downstairs in the theater all snuggled up. All snuggled up?
Pillow, blankets. That couch is also not very comfortable. It's more comfortable than the living room couch, but, yeah, I couldn't sleep. And you're you were snoring a little bit a lot of bit. I think I got shoved at least not.
Gentle nudge. Here's what I did. What'd you what'd you shove me? No. I took my foot, and I kinda pushed your foot a little bit.
Because I just have to wiggle your body a little bit to get you in a different angle. Yeah. No. I just wiggled my foot against your foot. I don't remember if it was last night or another night, but you have in the past couple of nights this week said, I barely have any bed.
I did. And I go, okay. I'll move. And then I moved to my side, and you said, well, you don't have to go that far away. So I don't know what's going on.
You said, there, my queen. I did. Alright. Did say there, my queen. Okay.
We only have a queen bed. That's why I said there, my queen. We could probably use a king-size bed. Where? I don't know.
Our room is small. But listen. You like to sleep at a diagonal. Do I? Yes.
I don't know about that. I fall asleep. I don't know how I sleep. Know. And then usually your head Mhmm.
Is, like, on my side of the bed, but then your feet are angled out to your side. And so then you're taking most of the bed because you're sleeping in a diagonal, and there's all of this empty space on your side of the bed where your head could be. And so then I wake up and I go, I am in the sliver of a bed. Or on the reverse or inverse, your head is on your side of the bed, and your feet are on my side. And then I go, now I got nowhere from my feet to go.
Oh, man. What a conundrum. I got no bed. I got no bed, and I got no leave in the night Quiet. And then I wake up by myself in bed.
Because I did gentle nudge you maybe 4 or 5 times, and it was not working. Uh-huh. And I said, I'm not gonna keep nudging him because that's rude. And so I just solved the problem on my own. You just grabbed your pillow and left.
Did you huff? Kinda. Yeah. I bet. I bet you went Yeah.
I did. And the dog kept barking, so that was annoying. Yeah. It was a rough night. A rough rough night.
Mm-mm. I'm not even gonna laugh at that. With the dog barking. Ruff. No.
Hey. You know what, though? It's Friday. We're here. I haven't checked to see if the phones are working, but I have, low confidence No.
That they are that they are working. I did get an email yesterday. They expect the phones to be back up on Monday. The service provider, I'm not sure who we have, but they have suffered a what they're calling catastrophic failure. That's a word.
It is. So, hopefully, things are getting back to normal. I'll find out, and then maybe we can play a game or something later. That might be neat. That'd be cool.
Yeah. I'm not like that. Yeah. We'll see how it goes. But, anyway, good morning.
It's Josh and Chantel. Hi. Do you wanna hear some science news? Science news? I'm the I'm the best person to report science news.
Well, yeah. Clue me in on all the science. Scientists Yeah. Have found the perfect body shape for a hula hoop. Well, it's not mine.
I can't hula hoop for beans. I that listen. Basically, they say the curvier the body That makes sense. The better options you have to hula hoop successfully. Makes sense.
More specifically, a form that includes sloping hips that allow an angle to push the hoop Makes sense. As well as a, quote, unquote, sufficient waist to sustain the hoop against gravity's pull. Totally checks out. I don't have that. I have no hips.
I have a sufficient waist and hippier hips. Can you hula hoop? No. Are you sure? I haven't been able to hula hoop since I was little.
When I was little, I could, but it's been a long time. That thing just falls right off me. And you have to be able to There's a rhythm to it. Yeah. You have to have the rhythm.
Yeah. That's What's the Somebody in the room said that. Who? I don't know. Once you get it going, I think I'd be able to keep it going.
It's the getting it going that's twirl it on my arm pretty good. Yeah. I can do it around my neck. You can? Yeah.
That's that seems like it'd give me a headache. Well, it would now, but as a kid, I used to do that. How come that's a thing? Vertigo? Yeah.
As you get older, it gets worse. Uh-huh. But, anyway, yeah, I have no, I can't I can't quite understand the hip thing because people that hula hoop look like they're barely moving. Here's And I'm over there moving like a crazy, car When was the last time you hula hooped? It's been a long time.
But I'm looking like one of those used car lot, you know, air guys trying to hula hoop. They gave a diagram of different curvatures and slopes of bodies. Uh-huh. I've never seen some of these body shapes before. That's a egg.
That one's a guitar pick. That's an inverted ice cream cone. That's an ice cream cone. That one is, some sort of yoga thing for your knees. What?
That yeah. Those are the shapes. That's avocado. That's a light bulb. A light bulb.
A light bulb body shape. Who's shaped like a light bulb? I don't know. What do you think your body shape is? I'm not on that list.
They didn't have just a stick. I have no hips. Lucky. Body shape, stick. This guy.
There was a there was a woman at church once who told me, I was, like, 16 years old, and she said, you're gonna have good birthing hips. And I went That's a weird thing to say. Yeah. It's a weird thing to say, but it's also a weird thing to say to a 16 year old girl. It's a weird thing to say out loud.
Yep. Strange. Yeah. She was an outspoken woman. How'd that turn out?
Well, I had 2 children successfully. At that. Good job. She was a fortune teller. Maybe.
But also gave me a complex about my hips. So thanks, lady at church. Yeah. It's a strange thing to say out there. This is a fun little story.
This, where is this guy from? I'm trying to see. Oh, in Illinois. Okay. His name is Tim King, and he is from Lombard, Illinois.
And he was renovating his parents' house, which is the home that he grew up in. Alright. And he stumbled upon a little bit of a surprise. He and, his crew took out a medicine cabinet. And before they installed the new drywall, Tim thought, you know, I wonder if there anything fell behind this thing.
Oh, yes. I love stories. See if and I he I don't know why he looked, but he did look. And wouldn't you know it What'd he find? Something was back there, a wrapped Christmas present that said for Tim.
It was from 1978. So Tim found a wrapped Christmas present for himself from 1978. So he unwrapped it. That's so cool. I know.
Isn't this awesome? Happened to me. Inside, Tim found vintage matchbox model airplanes. Cool. He said, this would have been the perfect present for me when I was 6.
This would be amazing. This is what I asked for, and I didn't get it. I was so disappointed that Christmas. The present was extra special because Tim's mom made it a point to give each kid the exact same number of gifts for Christmas. So this is not a new concept.
No. For 46 years, Tim points out that in 1978, that year, he was cheated out of a gift. He got one less gift than everybody else that year. No more. Now everything's on the up and up.
Mom is even. Mom's even. She's like, I know I counted a 100 times. Mhmm. And she was racking her brain trying to figure out where she hid that present.
My mom would hide presents and forget. So there was a time There's probably still a good chance there's some stuff hidden in that house. Bet there probably is, quite honestly. She's a forgetful woman. Yeah.
Behind dressers, under drawers Yes. All over the place. Yep. Who knows? Anyway, everything in, Tim's life's back in balance, which I think is good.
You know? From 1978 to today, he's been like, mom likes everybody better than me. And now he found out. I wonder if he's gonna gonna keep them, gonna build them. What cool thing to find.
Keep them. You keep them. Well, I know you you keep it. It's kinda special, but do you build it? What it was a Lego?
What do you mean build it? It was a it was it's matchbox, model planes. Oh. Oh, yeah. So do you leave them in the packaging, or do you take them out?
So I'm looking at a picture of it. They're called Thunderjets, and they are matchbox cars, but they're, 4 airplanes. And he thinks it's so cool. That is cool. Awesome.
It's cool. It's on the it's the wrapping paper is like Disney. Oh. And it's got Donald Duck carrying, a a sack of toys with a squirrel standing on it, and it says Timothy written across there. How fun is that with Pinocchio and Dumbo on there and Chip and Dale?
That's cool. My brother had some of these. The the Matchbox airplanes? Yes. The Thunder Jets?
Yes. Yeah. Oh, cool. Yeah. That's pretty awesome.
Way to go, Tim. It's good news to get you going. I'm gonna tell you something, and you're gonna be grossed out. And it might even give you, like, the skeevies. Like, woah.
Woah. Like, the heebie jeebies? Yeah. Kinda. Alright.
Because I have never been this kind of person, but lately, I've become this person. I have a pair of socks that I wear to bed. The same pair? Well, yeah. I just wear them to bed.
Okay. I'm just trying to clarify. I'm just I change them every couple of days, but I wear them at least 2 days in a row because I just wear them to bed. I understand. I just put them on to go to sleep because my toes are so cold, and somebody won't let me tuck them underneath them to warm them up.
You left the room on your own accord. No. No. No. These are this has been years long.
Yeah. I don't want your cold feet under me. That's fine. It used to gross me out when people would say they wore socks to bed. I'd be like, oh.
I I can't wear socks to bed unless I'm camping. And then I have a pair of, like, hiking. And when I'm backpacking in the woods, I have a pair of, wool socks that I wear, when I sleep. Okay. So it doesn't necessarily gross you out.
It doesn't super gross me out. There are people who get grossed out. I can't do it at home, though. I have to I have to be barefoot. I can't do it.
Used to be this person, but it has been so chilly at night, and my feet cannot warm up. And as we know, if you've got cold feet, your whole body's cold. That's true. Yeah. That's what you say.
If I have warm feet, my body is warm. I have, the last couple of nights, had to kick them off in the middle of the night because I've gotten too toasty. And that seems like a foot to foot thing. You're not, like, grabbing them. No.
You're just rubbing your feet together like a grasshopper to peel them off. Yeah. Well, I hook my big toe. I don't like the Yeah. Something weird.
And then I don't like them hanging out in the bed, and so I scoot them off with my legs. Take them off. Yeah. Yeah. That sounds about right.
I think I've felt that in the night. No. You haven't. I probably have. You probably haven't.
You're a pretty heavy sleeper. You haven't noticed any of it. You didn't. So that did not give me the heebie jeebies, which I'm glad about. Well, you kinda knew.
It wasn't, like, a big secret. No. I've I've seen your feet before with socks on. That's just what it is. But the thing that's new is I just I now call them my night socks.
And I go, oh, I can them that. Yeah. I go, oh, I can't find my night socks. Oh, no. Are they not just regular socks?
What They're regular socks. I just because I only wear them to bed, I look for them. Like, I wear them a couple of nights in a row, and then I go, oh, where's my night socks? Right here where I kicked them off. Night socks.
And they just lay there all sad all day until the next night? Sometimes I'll pick them up, and I'll all the other stuff. All night? All day, I mean? Wait.
Just waiting until nighttime comes around? Maybe she'll pick us up again. They're just sad socks laying there. Yeah. It's gross.
How is that different from the socks that are in your drawer just waiting to be picked up? They're put away, not just laying there on the floor like a night sock discarded out of a bed at 2 AM. Well, no. I can't wait till tomorrow when I can be on the foot again. It's fine.
They like it. They don't. They do. I hope my night sucks. Close your eyes.
Okay? It's Friday night. Yes. It it's Friday morning. No.
Pretend it's Friday night. Oh, per okay. Pretend it's Friday night. Alright. So later on tonight Yeah.
It's Friday night, and you're 16 years old. Okay. What are you doing? Oh, not much. Why?
Probably working. Why? Oh, I had jobs. How many jobs did you have? 1.
Why were you working? On a Friday night? I who knows? If I was scheduled, I probably was working on a Friday night. Okay.
Let's pretend you weren't scheduled. Alright. So I'm not scheduled. You have an evening free on a Friday night. You're 16 years old.
Uh-huh. What are you doing? Okay. Jeez. Probably not much.
I was kind of a lame kid. Were you? I was I was probably at home. I don't know what I was doing. What what were you doing Friday night at 16?
Well, I was probably working. No. You were not. Was not. No.
I was probably here's what I did the most. I would hang out with my 2 best friends, and the 3 of us would go on the cruise in Burley. Oh. Yeah. So 1998 for me.
You're 16 in 1998? Yeah. It was it would be 1997 for me. And we with the cruise was that stretch of road on the main to be what year? 97.
Okay. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. That's right.
Okay. So that would be the main road of town and you would drive What? Overland? Yeah. It was Overland.
You're just driving down Overland in Burley? Yeah. Wow. But then you would stop at the stoplight, and then you'd see some cute boys in the car next door, and you'd be like No. You wouldn't.
Yes. We did. No. You didn't. You know who was in the car next to you?
What? Either people you knew or people you didn't know and probably just old dudes. There were no cute boys. No. Sometimes there was cute boys.
How many times? A couple of times. Twice out of your whole life? I don't know, Josh. Why are you ruining this?
Listen. I'm not saying that driving the Cruze wasn't a thing because it sure was. Was. That's fine. But it wasn't like sock hop days.
It wasn't like everybody was out there doing. No. That's true. I didn't say that, did I? You said no.
There were every time we stopped at a light, there were cute boys. No. There weren't. Every time you stopped at a light, there was a farm truck. Okay.
That's true. Every time you stopped at a light, there was a beat up old Buick. My friend, Allison, we would drive her grandma's car. That's what she drove. That's And it was win you a point.
It was a big old boat. Yeah. But the cool part about that car was that it you could fit all 3 of us in the front seat. That's romantic. Nothing cooler than than 3 16 year olds hanging out in the front seat.
It was cool. Excuse me. Yeah. It was cool. Yeah.
Sometimes we'd go and play racquetball at the Racquetball Club Woah. Before. Woah. That's how cool I was. Listen.
The only reason the only reason that I'm I'm being the way that I am without you is because you had a social life. I was just hanging out, like, home. So You did too. Probably. I mean, I I don't know.
I had friends. I we we drove around. We did silly things. I was an inline skater. So depending on time of year, I could have been doing that.
I did a lot of paintball, so there I could have been doing that. Okay. You know, I don't know what I was doing. Something something that was entertaining to a 16 year old version of me. I'm trying to remember the turnarounds because did you ever cruise here in Idaho Falls?
I didn't grow up here, so I don't know what the cruise was like here. Well, I mean, there's cruises all over. Well, right. But But but in in Idaho Falls, it was 17th Street. Now, historically, it was First Street, but then it turned into 17th Street.
But, you know, you're just driving. What was what were the turnaround spots? Because there were specific turnaround spots in Burley. So I would say probably the mall was the end of it. I don't think anybody ever really went past the mall on hit road.
And then coming back, I mean, once you got to Holmes, maybe, 17th and Holmes, you didn't really go much further west than that because why would you? You know? The west side was real quiet. People weren't cruising down Broadway out toward Arco. My cruise ran north south.
Yeah. And the turnaround was burgers, etcetera. Oh, see, I would say the same thing is probably true for for Pocatello down Yellowstone. It's probably been Yellowstone for a lot of years. But where would where would I'm trying to think about how that woulda looked prior to, you know, Costco and all the Chubbock growth.
Like, would you just cruise campus maybe? Campus area? Know. I don't know. I didn't grow up there.
Me neither. When do you think cruising stopped? Like, when did that people probably still go over and just drive around. Yeah. But and not like a crew.
Like, there was multiple people when we would cruise. There was, like, a line of people, and they would be turning around in the turnout spots. And so I think probably when cell phones and Internet dating became a thing. You didn't have to drive around town just looking for somebody that was cute. You could actually just find them.
Funny thing that is. Yeah. I think we just found new ways. Let's all go get in the car and go look for cute people. Maybe we'll marry them.
Who knows? It's a wild Friday night. Our daughter takes a lunch to school, so I was making her a sandwich. And I went to put it in a ziplock bag for her, and she was watching. And she said, hey.
Thanks for making me a sandwich. And I said, no problem. And then she said, I'm glad that you're putting in the bag the right way. Now I cut it in half still. It's triangles.
Yeah. I cut it diagonally. Rectangles. Yeah. Who cuts it in rectangles?
That's not the way you eat a sandwich. I would, and I'll tell you why in a minute. Go on. So I cut it in half diagonally. So the top of the bread is cut.
I how do I explain this on the radio? You cut the sandwich diagonally. Part of the sandwich has all of the top crust. The other just has a side and bottom. Yes.
She I put the side and bottom piece in first Right. And then the top of the bread in Right. First. So, here's the thing about that being the correct way, and and I'll let you explain why it's her correct way. The reason I say that's the correct way is because that's the top of the ziplock bag.
Yeah. That's the top of the sandwich. Upright in the bag. Correct. If you put it in upside down, the sandwich gets dizzy.
I Fact. She proceeds to tell me that she likes the top part of the bread. She likes to eat that part first because it's the worst part of the bread. Because it's almost all crust, or it has more crust than the other part? No.
She just doesn't like that part of the crust. She thinks that's the worst part of the crust. The top You disagree. You say is the best. The top of the bread crust is the best part.
Yeah. I was floored. I thought everybody thought the top crust part was the best. I don't I don't care either way, but here's why I say cutting it vertically in half would make all the sense. Okay.
Hold on. I gotta draw a diagram. Draw a sandwich? Yeah. And then cut it in half This way?
Vertically. Correct. So you have 2 even shaped rectiles. That is exact rectiles. Yes.
You, you would cut them vertically and have 2 evenly cut rectiles. Did I say rectile? Mhmm. Rectangles. That's correct.
And you would have even Perfectly distribution. Equal amounts of bread. Correct. And then if you eat them top first because that's the part you dislike, whatever, it's a sandwich. It's not that big a deal.
I don't I don't put a lot of stock in it. I like a cut diagonal sandwich. Because it's fun? No. I don't know.
Just because it's it's easier to hold, I think, than, than a whole sandwich. I I just like, I think it's fun to eat a triangle piece of fruit food. Okay. So diagonal sandwiches is the way to go. Is that top crust the best part?
Yes. According to our daughter, no. No. Nay, she said. She likes the bottom triangle better, and so she wants to eat that last, which is a very you thing that you would want a certain flavor to be the last flavor you had Yeah.
Or you'd want a good dining experience like that where you'd go, yeah. If I'm gonna have a sandwich, I'm gonna eat it this specific way because I know that when I'm done, I'll feel satisfied about how I ate my sandwich. Yeah. If there's food on my plate and I like this part of the dinner more than this part of the dinner, I'm gonna eat the piece that I don't like as much so that I can save it's like eating your dessert last. That's the best part of a meal, so why not end on that note?
Yeah. That's a you thing, and you've passed on that gene. So congratulations. I don't put that much thought into how I'm eating in what order. I just eat because it's food.
Yeah. You get down to business when you eat. I roll the sleeves up, and I gotta eat in the meal. Down. Anyway, that's genetics in action, so well done.
What's your favorite type of crust, though? The top or the bottom part of a crust? I don't have a preference. It's just It's the top. It's the top.
Give it any thought. I told you, I'll eat just the outside part of a pop tart just because it grosses people out. See? Look at your face. What is the matter with you?
That is dry, dry, dry. Yeah. But if it falls off, I'm gonna eat it. It's like eating dust. If it falls off Okay.
You're gonna eat it? When you make ramen noodles I don't. But when you do But I don't. Okay. But when you do, and I'm not talking cup of noodles because that's a whole different thing.
I don't eat those noodles. I don't eat those. When you do, when you make them for the kids or whatever, the little ones that are in the package, do you eat those dry? No. Yes.
You do. That's the rules. I don't eat the I don't like those. You gotta eat them. They fell off.
They're they're a treat while you wait for your big noodle brick to boil down. I don't eat those because I don't make those because gross. Alright. Alright. Anything else to add?
No. Just that the top crust of the bet bread is the best. Okay. Well, now we know. Your hot take on crust.
Thanks. You know what's a lot of fun? What's that, Josh? Getting to be married to you, but also getting to date you. Oh.
Yeah. Josh. I know. Nice. I know.
We Even though I'm a big scooper? Look. That's yesterday's news. That's I haven't let it go, though. You don't.
It's just the facts. Uh-huh. I told the kids about that, and, and I said, listen. I I told your mom she's a big scooper. And they said, what is what does that mean?
And I said, have you ever tried to share chips and salsa with her? And they all went, oh, I get it. Are you kidding? My whole family, throws under the bus. No.
We just know that you're a big scooper. It's fine. And I told you last night, it's not a you problem. You just eat chips and salsa the way you eat chips and salsa. It's not anybody else's problem to deal with.
You do you. We all just need to ask the, the people that serve the chips and salsa to bring extra salsa. That's all. That's all we need. We just need hey.
If it's you and I and and we go and have, chips and salsa, I just I'm gonna need another thing of salsa and some beans. That's it. Moving on. That's it. Moving on.
It's what I was saying is Yes. Go back. It's it's nice to be married to you, but it's great to to get to date you as well, which I think is important as a as a sort of a thing. You gotta date your spouse. You gotta you gotta have fun.
You gotta have fun. Yeah. You gotta have fun. You gotta have time to focus on just the 2 of you. It's a big deal.
And earlier this week, we talked about you and I were going bowling, and we went to Fat Cats in Rexburg, and we went bowling. We did. We had pizza, which we tried the Godfather, pizza, which was really good. It was good. Really, really good.
A little spicy. Yeah. A little kick on it. It's got the sausage. It's got the salami, the pepperoni on there.
A really good pizza. And I like what the whatever they're doing with their crust, I like that. It's very good. I would go there for just the pizza sometimes. I agree.
The pizza is really good. They they do a a really good job with the pizza. Hey. Now we went bowling on our very first date. That's true.
So this is now, we've known each other for 22 years. We've been married for almost 20. We've got, a family. We got all this, and now here we are all these years later going bowling. Going bowling again.
Yeah. You did pretty good on this bowling date. I was pretty excited about my performance. I'm not gonna lie. Like, like, let me pull up I've got, a picture here of, of our scores.
So we played 3 games of bowling. Game 1 We we were there for about an hour, and we were able to get in 3 games. Yeah. With just the 2 of us. Yeah.
Yeah. I think if you had more people in your group, you might not be able to get 3 full games. But, but just, you and I oh, let's let's go back because when you get your lane, they go, here's a a little thing. Write your name, on this this card, and then we'll put it in the system for you. So I wrote Josh, and then you said, do I have to use my real name?
And and, the lady who was helping said, no. You can write down whatever you want. So you decided to write boss hog Yeah. With 2 g's. So it says on the scoreboard, Josh, and then it says boss hog.
Yeah. Which is you. Yeah. Okay. Just just to clarify.
You know what? Go ahead. Go ahead. I was just gonna say game 1, I got 1, 116 is what I bowled, and you bowled 71 Great. Which was good.
Listen. My shoes were a little bit too big. Oh, here here come the excuses. And the lane curved just a little bit. So that score was out of my control.
Did I have fun? Absolutely. K. Did I win? Nope.
Game 2. I rolled a 105, and you bowled a 96 Yes. Which is an improvement from game 1. It was a a little step down for me. I was learning to I was learning the lane.
Right. I was adapting. And then I got my groove on in game 3. You got your groove back. I something happened.
And I I bowled a turkey in that game You did. Which was 3 strikes in a row, if you don't know. And I, I I bowled a 149 Josh. In game 3. That's so good.
And you bowled an 82. That's halfway to 300. That's halfway to high score. I know. I felt pretty accomplished on 149.
That That's was a good game for me. And I've I've got a picture of, of all my frames. I ended that particular game on an 8 pin. I got 8 pins. I ended with a split, which is that's no way to go out.
No. I was doing so good You were doing good. Until the the 9th 10th frame. Everything fell apart for me. It was I was looking at your, Boss Hog, scorecard here, and you've got, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6 gutter balls in that game.
Yeah. My shoes were too big. Oh, look. You you brought up the shoe thing, and it wasn't like they only had one pair of shoes, and you just got what you got. You brought up the shoe thing, and I said, well, go get a different size shoe then.
And you just couldn't be bothered. You were just in the mood to bowl and eat some pizza. You you were just I'm not gonna go. Mean, kind of, but also there was always people at the counter, and I didn't wanna interrupt. I see.
Fine bowling, and they weren't that big. Big enough that they affected my score, but Apparently. I don't care. Yeah. I don't care about winning bowling.
I was having fun. They had good music playing. I was dancing. We got the Phineas and Ferb theme song, which happened. They had it was really good.
It's a really cool vibe. It's a fun family place. Like, if Fat Cats is is renovated, which is kind of the big deal. So they've redone the inside. They redid, signage.
They've redone the movie theaters. We've talked about that for the past couple of months. We've gone to play at the arcade. What I like So much that we were bowling, you and I, an older couple. Yeah.
I mean, middle aged couple. To the right of us was a nice, cute, little family. Yeah. To the left of us was young college students. Mhmm.
And so it's just a nice place for a mix of people to kind of go. It was fun. Right. And it's it's low pressure. Like, you know, if if you go to a a bowling alley, which I haven't been to, like, a bowling alley, it's been a while.
Yeah. At least a year. And, usually, it's the one in Burley that we end up going to. Yeah. And but you do feel a little bit of pressure to be a pro.
I don't. You don't? No. I feel like a little bit of pressure to be good, and maybe it's because I'm playing with your family, and they're pretty decent bowlers. And so it could be that.
But I felt no pressure. I feel good at anything. I felt no pressure at Fat Cats Bowling. It's just fun family recreational stuff, and it was cool. And we got a bunch of games in an hour, and it was a fun date.
And it was sort of a revisit to, where we began because, as you said, that was our first date. Let's go bowling. That was before I knew your family was bowlers and that you spent a lot of time at the bowling alley in Burley. I beat you at that bowling game. No.
I I remember. I don't remember the score. I don't remember. Remember I was not stoked about the fact that you held that information from me, that you grew up in a bowling alley until we were at the bowling alley, and you're doing really well. And I'm going, what is happening right now?
And you're like, oh, by the way, my family my life. Yeah. My mom still works at the bowling alley. Like, this is a this is a big part of where I grew up. Yeah.
Smooth. Real smooth. You didn't ask. I know. But, hey, if you're looking for a fun date night for you and your significant other or, even take the whole family just out for a a really fun evening, Fat Cats in Rexburg.
If you're in Rexburg, you already know. But if you're in, other parts of East Idaho, it's really easy to get to, and it's, it's a lot of fun It is. For everybody. So, go check them out, Fat Cats, and thanks for having us. It was a it was a really good time.
Was fun. We had a great time, and the pizza's good, and the popcorn's good. Oh, yes. And the soda's good, and, we had a good time. So go go Go check it.
Go date your significant other. Emery has some I don't wanna say their plans. She Don't call them that. She's getting together with her friend this weekend, and I said, well, what's the plan? And she said, what do you mean?
And I said, well, what's the what's the plan? What, what time are we picking them up? Is she gonna come home from school with you? And then what are you guys gonna do? Are you gonna hang out here?
Do you wanna go do something? And she said, I don't know. We don't make plans. We're not 80. Yeah.
And that's, a weird thing to say. Plans, I think, are really important. I think plans are important too, but, according to her, that's not what kids do these days. They just kinda wing it. They don't make plans.
And is that because everyone is just a little bit undecided, and everybody is trying to people please and they don't want to make the plans because they don't wanna make a plan and have It could be a decision making thing. Maybe they just don't like that kind of structure, and they just wanna loosey goosey their way through the weekend. That's possible. I don't know. I just don't know what it is.
But, apparently, if you have plans that are made, that's not cool. If you're making plans people's stuff. Making plans is for old Making plans is not cool. Now we have plans this weekend. We got, a dinner?
We're going to dinner with some friends tonight, and we know where we're going and we know what time. Oh, we got a time. Yeah. Have you you're on that group chat. Oh, am I?
Yes. Is that similar to how I'm on a family group chat? Look. Here's the thing about me, and we've talked a little bit about the the group texting thing. I like to be in the know, but I don't necessarily always have something to say.
But you also just don't read it, and then you go, wait. What? Oh, Josh. I mean, I'm glad that I get to be a part of it. But you know could read it.
So that's tonight, but then, for the weekend, are we pretty open? We're pretty open this weekend. I have an idea. You do? Yeah.
What is it? Go fishing. That's fine. Well, I have to I have to go get my new license and then fishing. Okay.
Go fishing. I have lots of things that I could do. Yeah. Yeah. Doesn't fishing sound good?
To you? Yeah. Sure. Winter fishing. That does not sound good to me, but guess what?
I'll do other things. Okay. Like what? So? I'm just trying to make plans because we're 80.
So you're gonna sew? Yeah. That's a 80 year old thing, fly fishing, an 80 year old thing. Go on. Why is that an 80 year old thing?
No. I'm just saying that these are these are, old people things. Go ahead. Listen. And, again, there's nothing wrong with old people things.
I don't I'm saying I put together a puzzle on New Year's Eve. Old people things. I I wanna make blueberry scones. Old people things. You too wanna make blueberry scones.
This is just old people stuff. It is old people stuff, and that's okay. Right. This is you you asked earlier what was I doing on a Friday night at 16. What am I gonna be doing on a Saturday night in my forties?
Making blueberry scones and thinking about fishing. That is it. I'm living. This is my prime. This is prime right now.
Cool. People are like, I can't wait to be in my twenties. I'm like, no way. Blueberry scones and fly fishing. That's living.
It actually sounds pretty decent. I know. I'm I'm really into it. I'm half tempted to sit down and read a book. Don't go telling everybody.
It sounds nice. Yeah. I was reading a book last night, and it was lovely. I wanna sit in my chair with my blanket and read a book. You don't read.
I'm feeling it. I'm feeling the vibe right now. Doesn't that sound kinda nice? You don't make any plans, though. No.
I can't. That's old people stuff according to 15 year olds who don't make plans. They don't make plans. What's gonna happen? What?
They're gonna go, we probably should've made a plan. No. Because they've done this before, and they just don't make any plans. And I go, how about I make a plan for you? And they go, no.
We don't like plans. Well, hopefully, they figure it out before the end of school. Because if I'm just bringing somebody home, that's a thing. You'll never know. I won't until I show up, and they go, well, we're just going home from here.
Oh, good. Oh, is that a plan? Yeah. Sounds like a plan. Sounds like you may made an 80 year old people decision.
Good job. I was just clicking around on eastidahonews.com, and they do a segment called Feel Good Friday. And, today, they have a story. They actually, went and surprised a couple of boys. These guys are in Idaho Falls.
It's August and Connor, and 5 years ago, they tragically lost their older brother. And so in memory of their brother, each Christmas, they run a toy store where they have, toys that their mom has purchased stuff, and they sell them at discounted prices. And, they mark them up just slightly to earn some money, and then they use that money, and they, for the past 5 years, have used the money to spread random acts of kindness throughout the community, which I think is super cool. Like they donated a fruit basket to the fire station, and then they pay for people's meals at at food places. That's super cool.
They leave, like, big, generous tips when they go out to eat, stuff like that, which is pretty cool. And they do that a couple of times a year. They do it on, their brother's birthday and on the anniversary of his passing every year. It's a it's a cool little story, and they've got a video, with the family and stuff that you can, check out at eastidahonews.com. It's their feel good Friday, for today.
Really cool story. Sweet. And, and those boys are, really nice, and, what a cool thing to do to honor their brother and to and to do something nice in the community. So well done, August and Connor, and and their family there for pulling that together. If you wanna see the whole story, it's at eastidahoneews.com, and, it's a good one.
A good it was a good Friday. Well done. Little teary eyed. I know. Feel all warm in my heart.
That's, I think, the point of the feel good Friday. So I think you did it. So think so. Well well done. Eastidohannews.com if you wanna see the video.
I saw this story. I have to share it. It's, it's fascinating to me, and, and it's remarkable, and it is a historic moment and historic moment. Let's hear it. The world's first saber toothed cat mummy has been found in Siberia.
I saw this story yesterday. There's a picture of it. I'm blown away by this story. This was a story that was published, in National Geographic back in November, and I didn't know about this until I saw this story, yesterday. But for real, the long fanged predator has been, has been found.
It's found it in November. That's what I said. Back in November is when this story was published, but I didn't see it until yesterday. You weren't, but that's fine. So the saber tooth tiger, roamed across northern hemisphere 32000 years ago, and they found, there were some, people digging, prospecting for mammoth tusks in Siberia Uh-huh.
And they found the sabertooth mummified. They were surprised and delighted, of course. That's that's they go, how are you feeling? Well, we're surprised and delighted. Delighted.
Yeah. Oh, and it's a small it's a small sabertooth. It is a cub, but it not only is providing the first look at what the sabertooth cat looked like in real life, but it also represents a life stage that paleontologists know less about because most of the fossils are from adult, animals. So this being a cub is giving them a little bit more insight on I do. Some of the development stuff, which is so cool.
Looked at the article. This is actually very cool. Yeah. His face and torso and, like, forelimbs, so his front legs Yeah. Are nearly intact.
So it's like a almost perfectly intact front half of this. Right. So you get soft tissue like the fur, the muscle, the skin, which is really cool. And there's been a lot of different debate for a lot of years about what it would look like because here's the thing about a fossil. A fossil is just bone.
Just bones. Right? Or or stone that's turned bone that's turned into stone or petrified or whatever. And so you you don't like, with dinosaurs, we assume that we know what the outer part looked like based on the skeleton, but we don't really know. I just also Like, if you saw us you look at a skeleton of a rabbit, you wouldn't say it looked like a rabbit.
I think it's fascinating that there are still paleontologists that are finding this type of stuff. Because you would think that with all of the years and sediment and Yeah. Debris, that that stuff is long buried. Yeah. So it's amazing that they still find stuff like this.
They're trying the the biggest debate, I think, is about the the fangs in sabertooth, the actual sabertooth. And they're trying to decide whether or not the teeth were covered when the mouth was closed. That's the argument because every time you've seen sabertooth, the teeth are out, sort of tusk like, but they just can't decide if maybe they were concealed or not, and this is giving them a little bit insight. But because it's a cub, they don't have They shouldn't have been fully developed. Right.
They don't have those teeth yet. So they're trying to figure it out. But even with the mummy, the question as to whether the adults had covered fangs is still challenging. The upper lip of the cub is more than twice as deep as that of a modern lion lion cub, which which would lead to suggest that they had lips capable of concealing the long canine teeth, which then is I think that's more frightening. Like, if you see the saber tooth with its fang hanging out, you're kinda going, oh, that's dangerous.
I know what to expect. But if it was concealed and it just looked like a crazy big cat, and then it snarled at you and that huge fangs came out. That's scary. The I'm just reading it. It says its front paws were they had the retained claws.
Oh, like, retractable? Mhmm. Cool. That's a cat thing. Under his beans.
Under his beans. Toes. Bean toes? Okay. Sure.
Why not? 35000 years old. Yeah. Pretty cool. Yeah.
Really, really neat. That is cool. They're still finding stuff, which is fascinating all the time. So, anyway, big science thing. They found a saber tooth cub.
Big science. Yeah. Big science. That cub was about 3 weeks old when it died. No.
I I get it. It was very young, but that's, is that Siberia for you? Siberia? Mhmm. Back to Siberia.
It's cold. Nice. Thank you. It's good stuff. Would you rather This or that.
Go on a dream vacation together That sounds good. But you can't talk on the entire trip. Sounds better. Go on. Listen.
It's not that I don't like you. I'm just we talk to each other a lot, so it might be a real vacation to not be able to talk to each other. It didn't say we couldn't talk, just not to one another. We could still communicate. We could we could, we could communicate through, hey.
Will you tell Chantel that she looks nice? You can't. You can't. I can't tell you directly, but I can tell the the concierge. Do that either.
Why are you taking away all communication? You just said you don't wanna go on a vacation with me to talk to me. Said. I said I want to go on a dream vacation with you. And if it means quiet.
That we can't talk, so be it. We're gonna have a good time. We just can't talk to each other. I found a loophole, and you eliminated it because you don't wanna talk to me. That's how it feels.
Do you want the other option? I guess. Okay. Or you stay home, but you can't stop laughing and telling jokes the whole time. What are you gonna choose?
Well, you're making me go first. What are you gonna choose? I think I'm gonna pick the dream vacation. Because you don't wanna talk to me. You just want peace and quiet.
No. I want a dream vacation. Yeah. Me too. And I found a loophole, and you were like, no.
There will be no communication. None. No. That's what you wanted. I was just reaffirming my way of life.
Words in my mouth. I found a creative loophole, and you closed it. Oh, Josh. Oh, Chantel. I'm making the dream vacation because guess what?
We are already doing the stay at home and laugh and tell jokes. That's our that's our life already. Yeah. Wow. It's a I mean, you know, trap me in a corner.
Why don't you? Would you rather this or that? This is gonna take a minute for me to explain. Maybe not. Let's go back.
We bought our house, years years ago. Okay. And, we've lived there for lots of years. And the, the person that we bought it from had kinda flipped it from a family who had sold it. And years ago, one of the children of the guy who owned it prior to it being flipped for keeping up stopped by and said this was my dad's place, and, and I'd love to be able to collect some of the, the plants and things that were naturally in the yard.
Could I grab some starts from some things and whatever? That would be that would mean a lot. Yeah. And you were like, yeah. Totally.
That's fine. I don't have a problem with that. Go go wild. Right. I don't need all these rocks.
And if you want, you know, some little tree starts and whatever, I'm totally fine with that. Go go wild. Yeah. Have fun. It means something to you.
That was no big deal. Here's a story that I, just finished reading, and it took a minute to get through. Okay. And I wanted to share you, share the story with you. Share the story with you.
So, there is a a person who bought a house, in 2019. So they've had it for 5 years or so. K. And, they've lived there comfortably. They got a knock on the door the other day, and there is a woman, and her partner, there at the front door.
She is obviously pregnant, clearly quite pregnant, getting close to due date pregnant. K. And says to the, the current homeowner, hi, introduces herself and says, I was born in this house. My mother was born in this house, and I would like to give birth to my child in this house. No.
No. No. Yeah. That's the question. What do you say?
Holy smokes. I see. Specifically, let me let me give a little more detail. Specifically, we were all born in the upstairs bedroom, that one. And, the homeowner said, that's my bedroom.
I don't feel great about this. The homeowner said no. The story gets a little bit more wild. I'll tell you more here in just a second. But, but the homeowner did say, no.
I'm not comfortable with that. That's my bedroom now. I I'm not really into it. I'll tell you what I would do. I don't think that I would be into it, but I appreciate, the courage it takes to even ask.
Mhmm. That's some guts to even go knock on the door and ask. As the homeowner, I would be like, I have a problem. And but then I don't know why I would have the problem. It's not that big.
I don't know. I don't know. That's tricky. Right. What a conundrum.
Yeah. So a few weeks go by. K. It's 1:30 in the morning. Smoking.
It's 1:30 in the morning. There's a big loud knock at the door. The homeowner is like, what is going on? Goes and opens the door. There is the pregnant woman in labor with her partner and 2 women who are midwives.
Okay. And they are at the house like it's happening. We're here. The homeowner says, I already said no. Yeah.
And I'm still firmly a no on this. And now you've woken me up. And now it's 1:30 in the morning, and, it's still a hard no. And now I'm really upset. Yeah.
Good news, though. 5 minutes down the road is where the hospital is at, and you're more than welcome to travel there and have the baby. So come to find out, the pregnant woman had told the midwives and everybody that everything was worked out, and they're good with it. We can show up any time, and it'll, and it'll be okay. This is where it's going down.
Pregnant woman. Why are you always lying? No. It's wild. Right?
Wild. So I don't have a a a full what happened after they left the doorstep, but they did not have the baby in the house. And people are like, you know, good for you. You own the place. Like, it's yours to say yes or no.
Absolutely. And you did say no, but what a thing. And shame on her for not respecting the fact that you had already given her your answer. Right. But but I'm sure there was a part of her that was like, if I'm in labor and I show up, maybe they'll change their mind.
Yeah. But that's I don't like that. I don't like that shady behavior. That's a wild story. Answer.
Yeah. So, hey, help yourself to rocks and plants. That's an easy one. I don't think I'd be on board with, I'm gonna have my baby. I don't think I would either.
I'm like, I don't think you are. Just my house now. Sorry. I don't want your baby in here. What a what a thank you.
Think about what you how awkward it is when you have, like, a plumber at your house or some kind of repairman. Do. Like, yeah, I don't know what to do right now. Like, I forgot how to live in my own house. Yeah.
Yeah. Now you got somebody giving birth in your bedroom. Like, no. A stranger. I'm not having that happen.
So Wow. It's a good story. Isn't that wild? What a ride that was. That's how we're gonna wrap up the show on this Friday morning.
I hope you have a great rest of your Friday and a good weekend, and we'll be back on Monday, hopefully, with phones working Fingers crossed. And toes and arms and legs and whatever else. Happy weekend. Yeah. Enjoy it.
We'll see you back here Monday morning. I think that's it. That's it. Alright. Have a good one.
