Just get rid of it. No. If you haven't already, that is. Just throw it out the window. I'm not going to because my resolution is to do things that bring me joy.
I know. So, why would I why would I get rid of that? I know. I'm not going to. Me neither.
It's also what to do. Listen. This day was made for you and me because it is national classy day. Hey. I know.
I know. I mean, if you wanna describe this gal, classy is the word to do it. Is it? Yeah. I I I just like that She's got style.
She's got grace. Oh, and a smile on her face. That's it. Alright. I'm trying to find out where, Classy Day originated.
Having a hard time finding, more information. Give me a second. Okay. Stand by. Here we go.
I found it. Let's see. Stylish, chic, elegant, sophisticated, dashing, and posh. Grace. That's it.
Style and Grace. There. Yeah. Just me. Yeah.
Change the name of the show. Wake Up Classy 97 with style and grace. You're so Elegance and sophistication, dashing and posh. That's great. It was founded to celebrate classy people in general, but specifically celebrated on the birthday of one of the classiest women of the 20th century, miss Betty White.
Betty White. So that is why it is Classy Day. In the spirit of, the remarkable Betty White, National Classy Day acts as a reminder to people to live with their lives, full of joy, wit, and grace. It's joy, wit, and grace. That's right.
Me. It is you. I got joy. I got wit. I got grace.
Look at you. Look at poster child. Of class. It's classy day. I'm excited about it.
We are classy 97. It's classy day. It's, what day of the week? That's right. Friday.
No cribbing. Why did you say it in that voice? Because Okay. I don't know. It is exciting.
And we're here, and we're live in the studio. Good morning. Oh, and phones are working. Yeah. Big day.
I know. Big day. If you don't believe, 208-525-9797. It is a big day. Big, big day for us.
This is kinda cool. There is a bakery in Brooklyn. 1, already cool because bakery is delicious. Okay. Alright.
Their bread costs whatever you can afford to pay. No kidding. So they're not trying to keep it a secret. When they walk up to the counter, they ask, how much would you like to pay for this bread? And then whatever you want to pay is whatever they are going to let you leave the business with.
I see. So if you come up and say, I'd like a loaf of bread and you say and I have $4. They say, great. Here's your loaf of bread. Do they say, great.
Here's your loaf of bread, or do they say, great. Here's $4 worth of this loaf of bread? I think it's just their loaf of bread. They have loaves of bread, and whatever you wanna pay for that loaf of bread is whatever you pay. They did get some heat online because people were saying a bakery joke.
People were saying, you're not gonna be in business long, but business has been good. Everybody kind of takes advantage of the offer of the low priced bread, and no one really offers to overpay. But they can cover the loss of bread prices by selling other things like coffees and pastries and other baked delicious goods. Yeah. And they sell those products what they're worth.
But they just wanna make sure people can eat, so they are selling the bread at whatever people can afford to pay. That's it's interesting. They it's a name your price bread. Yes. And I'm trying to see, is it just one kind of bread?
Because here's here's the thing. Like, if you had on your menu a name your price bread where you just went, look. We maybe we overcook this one or maybe, it it didn't come out just perfect. It's a it's a it it's bread. It's still good, but maybe it's just not one of our premium Breads.
Breads. Right. And and so we offer these loaves. So if you just need some bread, you can name your price for for this bread. I I think that would probably be fine.
He says yeah. And he the owner says 70% of customers pay full price for their loaves. So if he's selling $9 sourdough, it is it is his bread. He's selling all kinds of bread. Yeah.
So he says on a $9 sourdough, if a person pays $1, he loses about 2 to $3 because when he charges overhead Yeah. I get that. He's got bills to pay. It's interesting. But you're right.
If he's selling other things that are not name your own price, then maybe that helps Offset costs. Right? Oh, bless you. Oh, bless you, John. Thank you.
It's it's a fun idea. I like it. I like it too. Oh, jeez. For the sense of community.
I'm I'm having a sneezing, but I'll be fine. But for the sense of community, I think that's really nice. He does say that people take advantage of the name your own price at least once a day, sometimes 3 times a day. I don't buy bread that often. See.
And I well, it's not the same person doing it every day. You'd have different customers, wouldn't you? Well, I would think so. But, also, I would feel so guilty that I would probably overpay. You'd be like, a a $10.
But it's only a $6 loaf. I I love you. It's worth it. Pay you double. It's a $10 loaf to me.
That's right. When we go places where you have to haggle, my friend yells at me because she's like, you're not haggling right. And I go, I don't haggle. Just pay me what it cost or I'll pay you what it cost. It's just like, you overpaid.
Yeah. You overpaid for that. Like, I don't care. When's the last time you went somewhere you had to hack? Oh, it's been years.
But A yard sale maybe? They go, can I have the whole box for $10? And they're like, 15. And you go, that'll do. Exactly.
And it was actually a $12 box. Yep. I'm like, yeah. I got a deal. Hey.
Get this woman. She's coming. She doesn't know how to haggle. Yeah. You'll see her a mile away and go, here comes old money bags.
Oh. She'll pay more than we're at. Money bags. It's just that I don't like to do those kind of operating deals. So So name your price.
How much you're gonna pay? How much is it? 6.50. I'll give you 10. Best I can do is 10.
Yeah. You're you're not good at it. No. I'm not. You should you should practice.
I don't want to. The art of bargaining. I will just pay you whatever you have the cost for. That's it. Put a price tag on it.
That's what I'll pay. That's your challenge today. Because when you go grab lunch or something, and they're like, okay. It's gonna be 1326, and you go, best I can do is 10. I got a $10 in cash.
You want 10 in cash? And they'll say, no. Give me $13. To name your price, $10. I've heard about this.
Yeah. Name your price. You can haggle for anything. And then they go, now it's 15. Now you're out.
Sold. Please don't ever come back. This is the story of Paul Campbell. He is a 12 year old in Naples, Florida who is doing his best to help people facing homelessness this winter. He sees people in need in his community.
And, again, he's 12 years old. Paul decided to organize an Amazon wish list, and he's already collected over 26 100 items Mhmm. Off of that wish list. Everything from socks and underwear and shirts. And it all goes to local shelters, and his goal is to keep people warm and comfortable during the colder months.
What's winter in, Florida like? I have no idea. I don't know. Naples, Florida. That's great.
He's 12 years old. It's 59 degrees right now and rainy high today of 7. Just just for the parish. If that's not what you're used to, if that's not the average temperature living out there in it Exactly. It's not comfortable.
Exactly. So that's that's a really cool thing. He said, I just wanna thank everybody who's donated to this. One sock at a time, Paul's making a big difference in the lives of those in need. I think that's pretty cool.
I think that's amazing. And he's already collected over 26100 different items, which is a big deal. So, I was looking at the Amazon wish list. I just pulled it up here. So you can he's got a bunch of different shirts on here.
Yep. I have socks, underwear, shirts, and stuff maybe. Sunscreen. Ah, sunscreen's important. That's what the list primarily is.
It's socks and underwear and sunscreen and T shirts. I think that's pretty cool. That's pretty amazing. He saw a need, and he's 12 years old, and he was like, I I can help. And what a cool way to do it.
Just hey. You can help from anywhere. Just hit up this Amazon list. You can spend a few bucks, and you can make a difference. So What's his name?
Paul? Paul. Yep. Well done, Paul. You've been doing it.
You're doing good things. It's good news to get you going. I don't know if you've been following, all the big news around the brand new Nintendo Switch, but the Nintendo Switch 2 is coming. I did not know they were doing a Nintendo Switch 2. Yeah.
They, they made a big announcement, pretty much yesterday, morning is when stuff kinda happened. Is that what it's early. It's called the Switch 2? Yep. The Nintendo Switch 2.
They didn't really give a launch date, but in April, Nintendo will have their big sort of here's what's new in Nintendo Nintendo gaming stuff. I would expect to see it this holiday. That's probably when they'll when they'll release it around, Thanksgiving and Christmas. So, just prepare. Save your save your pennies.
The Nintendo Switch 2 is coming. And with it, Mario Kart 9. And, yeah. Yeah. Yeah.
I know. It's your favorite game. Yeah. But why they gotta do this? Because it gets you all excited about the new Nintendo Switch 2.
Wanna buy a new Nintendo. I just wanna use my old Nintendo. Well, here's the cool part is that the Nintendo Switch 2 is backwards compatible, so it will be able to play all of your Switch games. I want my old Nintendo to be forward compatible. That's what they need to start doing.
Make my old machine forward compatible. Uh-huh. So I can play all the new games without having to buy a new machine. Yeah. That that sounds like you want a PC.
Because then you could just upgrade a bit of your PC, and your PC would still be capable of running the new games. Just do that to the game console. That sounds like a better idea, doesn't it? That's so annoying. Well, let me tell you about the new Mario Kart.
Mario Kart 9 appears to confirm 24 person races. 24 people? That is right. It is the first time in series history. The standard 12 have been used in previous games.
And now, again, we got a first look. We haven't really gotten a deep dive in the game. So it could be still 12, but it appears that the, track is wider. At the start line, it does accommodate for 24 players. That's too many people.
In some of the, shots, you can see at least 14 racers on the track at once. Okay. So Well there's there's already more than 12. I see racers at the beginning, and then Oh. Then I don't see anybody.
Oh, boy. Oh, boy. The new Nintendo Switch, they plan to in April is when they do Nintendo Direct, and that's probably when you'll get, you know, more information on it. But, the first look at the console itself is really kinda cool. A lot of people were talking about, the new controllers.
The way they are on the Switch right now, they kinda slide down in place. Yeah. And people complain about that. Like, it's such a pain. You can't get it in there.
So the new ones magnetically lock on the side. That's cool. But they also have in order to get the charging port to line up properly, they have a physical port that clicks into the controller, and people think that might be a big failure point for the controllers. But that's yet to be seen. It has a second USB c port, so not just the one.
There is, these new Joy Con buttons that are on there. No one knows really what they do, but they will find out. A lot of people think that it might be some sort of Joy Con mouse thing where you could, maybe they'll bring back Paper Mario or something, and you would have a mouse, to to sort of function in that kind of a space in addition to thumb sticks and d pads and all that other stuff. So Okay. Interesting.
You talked about 24 people being able to play this at the same time. Is that Yeah. People Well in the same room as you? I don't know the answer to that. Have, like, maybe 6 people that can be in the same room with like, 6 real people.
4 people per TV, and you could get 6 consoles together in one game. I don't know. Or, like, players online Right. Or computer. Like, how does that work?
I could imagine there being 24 people on in an online game. I could see Nintendo going more online with some stuff like that. Yeah. I was just looking at some pictures. This picture looks like maybe there's a pit stop.
Okay. I don't know if that's true. They've redesigned some of the characters. That's true. I wish they would get rid of Donkey Kong.
No. They won't. They did a nod to, there was a game, years years years ago called Yoshi's Diner. Uh-huh. And, in the game, in in the gameplay that they have in this little first look, There is a Yoshi's Diner on the side of the road, which that game, was years years ago.
So, anyway, Mario Kart 2 and the new Nintendo Switch, I was thinking you might be a little more excited than you are, but now you're just upset that you have to get new hardware in order to play it. Then now I have to spend $500 to get a new console. The thing with Nintendo is they're they're usually a little bit more price friendly. Oh, I'm sorry. There it's gonna be 300.
That's Not 5. You're correct. It will be $300 ish. I'm not paying $300 for a new console to to play one game. And And Excuse me.
Then I'll have to pay 60 more dollars for the game. Unless you buy the bundle that comes with the game. I'm not going to. I'm just gonna keep playing my old Mario Kart game. Okay.
Okay. We'll learn more in April, and then we'll be able to get more excited about what's coming to Nintendo and the Switch 2 in April. April? That's the release. No.
That's when Nintendo Direct happens when we'll learn more. Okay. And then we'll have all the details. Oh, is I. You'll be okay.
This is something that you and I saw yesterday, and both of us said that's not real. It actually is real. And I'm gonna tell you about it right now. The soup thing? The soup Oh, no.
Progreso, the soup company Yeah. Is selling they're calling chicken noodle soup cough drops. But they're Is it cough drops? Is it medicine? No.
They're not medicated in any way. So they're just technically soup flavored candy. It's just soup flavored pellets, I guess. Why? I don't know.
I'd rather be sick. In their right mind was like, I got an idea. That this had to go through a product meeting where they said, look. We need a new fresh idea. And this guy over here, he's got one.
And he said, here's my big idea. We take soup, and we make it candy. And then you can have a candy soup. Somebody who tried them said they do taste surprisingly similar To soup. To actual chicken noodle soup.
Their press release, Progreso's press release says, when you're sick, nothing is truly more reassuring than chicken noodle soup. So we thought, why stop at the soup bowl? Have your chicken noodle soup candy. I think it's, the their marketing's gross. Can you can you just Introducing Progresso Soup Drops, the ultimate cold and flu season comfort, soup you can suck in.
That is gross. Gross. Imagine sitting at your office desk, and then you go, somebody somebody making soup? Because sometimes somebody will have a candy, and you'll go, hey. That kinda smells like lemon.
If somebody's got a lemon candy, I'd like one. Oh, it smells like butterscotch. Yeah. Who smells like soup? You know how, this is old lady candy?
This is the worst kind of old lady candy. Like, hey, kids. I got candy. Let me put some in my pool of out of my purse for you. At the bottom of my purse.
Soup on the go. Also Soup on the go. No. It's not. It's not soup.
I don't know what's worse, calling them soup cough drops or calling them soup candy. I don't know what's worse. They both sound pretty awful. Hey. They're real cheap, though.
Yeah. Well, you're not gonna be able to buy them in stores. Apparently, you can only buy them at progressosoupdrops.com, and you can only buy them on Thursdays starting at 7 AM. So, their soup B and meat. Sold out when they were announced.
They said we're soup or sorry, but don't stew. No. Check back next Thursday Stop. At 9 AM EST. And you can buy your soup drops.
Soup buns. Look. If somebody really wants to get some, I'll try one, but I'm not spending my money on it. It's $2.50 plus a dollar in shipping. And it says you can also get a can of actual chicken noodle soup with it.
Great. Here's the thing. I don't I don't like chicken noodle soup. I don't it's gross. Nope.
I don't. And people say, oh, you haven't had mine. I don't care. I don't want to. The chicken noodle soup is gross.
And they say, but have you tried it with homemade noodles? Yeah. That's the worst kind. It's a Chantel's chicken noodle soup hot take. My mom used to make homemade chicken noodle soup, and it was gross.
And I've tried so many other chicken noodle soups. No. And I like soup. Not that kind. So I don't think I'm gonna be eating these soup drops.
I don't know. No. I might sneak one your way. If I get my hands on some, we gotta try. We have to try them if we can get some.
Yeah. Chicken noodle soup. What what is the website? Oh, I left. Soup drop.
Soup drop.com something. Let me go back. Yeah. Progressosoupdrops.com. Next Thursday, 7 AM our time.
Okay. Probably log on earlier. Okay. Gross. Ew.
They're all brown. Oh, they're doing it all soup month. Soup month? I think maybe January is soup month. I like the idea of soup month.
No. Just not chicken noodle soup Soup. In there. Ew. These have you looked at them?
Yeah. Proud. They look like freeze dried soup. It looks like yeah. It does.
It looks like a butterscotch candy, but don't be fooled. That's how they get you. You're gonna think, what a sweet treat. Werther's original. No.
Progresso. Brah. They're gonna do clam chowder next. Ugh. I always wanted to raise a strong willed daughter.
How's that going? Oh, so good. Here's the problem. I wanted her to be strong willed to everybody else, but not Uh-huh. To me.
I see. That's the kicker. So how do you raise a strong willed daughter that just listens to everything you say as a parent? Right. Right.
Right. Right. I just wanna do that. I don't I don't know for sure. We went out to eat the other night, and it was a place that she didn't care for.
Right. And instead of her making another alternative, like, hey. Let's go eat here. I like this place. Correct.
Maybe we could eat here. She just shuts off Yeah. And says, nope. But there's also this thing where it's like you there's stuff on this menu that she would eat. Yeah.
There's I mean, we went to a burger place that also had chicken sandwiches, that also had chicken strips Yes. That also had fries, which she will just order fries and be content. Yes. Like but she was just in a mode She was where she was like, nope. I want nothing to do with Yep.
I didn't wanna come here. Nobody listened to me. Yeah. So I'm gonna sit here, and I'm not gonna order anything. And I said we all ate?
Would you like some French fries? Would you like some of my French fries? No. I did see her have a couple fries. Then she quietly snuck a few French fries.
Right. Because they look good. And they were good. They were good. Yeah.
Matter of fact, we brought some of those home, didn't we? Yeah. I threw them away. You did? Yeah.
Oh. Guess what? They sat on the counter for hours because forgot about them entirely. I didn't carry them in. I did.
And then I they sat on the counter for hours, and then you could smell them every time you walked into the kitchen. I said, these are gross. No one's gonna eat these. I I probably would. If I just now remembered they existed, if someone would have said, hey.
Is anybody gonna heat up those fries? I probably would have heated up some of those fries, but I guess not. No. Guess not. You would not.
You would not have reheated those. I'm thinking about it right now. I I could go for some fries. They were, like, nice, good fries. They were good fries.
Battered steak fries. Really nice. Sorry. They're in the garbage. Yeah.
Well, I'm not going to get them now. Well, they've been already taken out of the house garbage. Saying. Like, I'm not going to get them. In the garbage.
Yeah. You should have maybe put them away. I probably didn't even remember they existed until just now. They they it's not like I threw them away the second we got home. No.
They sat on the counter for hours. Hours. So How many hours? Hours. Like, one?
No. Like, one hour? No. And then you walked by and went, those stink. I'm throwing them away.
I'm betting it was an hour. It was too long. It was too long to smell those fries. Gonna eat them. I know that, but I I probably would have eaten those fries.
Okay. Well, then that's up to you to maintain them. I've I've totally forgot they existed until just now. Okay. But listen.
Let's get back to the point at hand. How do you raise a strong willed daughter to be strong willed to everyone but me? I still don't know the answer. I'm trying to I'm trying to formulate any kind of solution for you. I have no ideas.
I just want her to be strong willed when I want her to be strong willed. Like, I should just poke her and be like, okay. Now is an opportunity that you can be strong willed. And if I don't want her to be strong willed, I'll be like, hey. Let's take it.
Let's just be easygoing. You don't have to be strong willed right now. Just take it easy. And she'd be like, okay. That's not how it works.
No. No. I just need buttons. It's not how it works. It's a nice thought, but that's just not how it works.
No. So sorry. I know. It's never gonna work. No.
She's gonna be strong willed all the time, and that's Well that's okay. And ever since she was little, I have trained her and told her to speak up for herself. Right. And she does, and then I go, oh, I I don't like it when you speak up for yourself. Well, you can't have just some of it.
No. It's all or nothing. Sigh. You'll be okay. I it's all gonna be alright.
You're doing a good job. That's the big deal. That's nice. Like, it's yeah. Of course.
Later in life, it'll all get easier or so I'm told. Yeah. People say that, they said that years years years ago when our kids were much smaller, and they said, oh, it'll get easier. I mean, it hasn't. Yeah.
When they're, like, 2030. We still have a long way to go. Yeah. We have a 20 year old. It's not so easy.
No. I didn't say it would be easy. I said it would be easier. Oh, well, it's not. It doesn't feel But, also, a 20 year old boy is different than a 20 year old girl, I would say.
I would agree with that. So you know? And they're all of their own individual unique people anyway. So Unfortunately. No.
It can't just be you and think like you want them to be like me. I'm confused by what you want. Because one minute you're like, oh, wait. This is just the same issue you're having. I'm just confused about what you want.
Never mind. This is where you need to be a little more easygoing. Poke. Poke. Poke.
It was a Josh and Chantel date night last night. Yes. It was. You and I went and had, cheeseburgers, fries, and sodas at the Blue Wave At the Blue Wave. In Idaho Falls.
Now these guys hosted a Josh and Chantel date night because they they wanted us to come and try out, what has been voted the best burger for, like, 6 years in a row. 6 years running. Best burger in town. That's that's, that's quite the the That's quite the achievement. That's Yeah.
That's quite the bragging point. Yeah. And I I can attest. Great burger. It was pretty delicious.
Yeah. And we just had the basic cheeseburger, and they have a lot of other burgers. The reason we had the basic burger was because they have on Thursdays a date night special, where you get 2 cheeseburgers, a big basket of fries, and 2 drinks, for a few bucks. It wasn't even I don't know. I'm trying to remember.

Now we had cheeseburgers. I was also looking at, some of the other burgers. They have the formage burger, the big cheeseburger.
It's got bacon on it. They also had a we were looking at the, double, oh, jeez. Grilled cheese sandwich. The double grilled The double grilled cheese the double grilled grilled cheese where they've got the cheese crusted sourdough with your choice of cheese on the inside almost. They also do a pb and j burger, which is a it's a cheeseburger.
So you've got the the beef patty, the cheese, the bacon, but then they do peanut butter and grape jelly on it. Yeah. I'm real curious about that one. Me too. Our server, Jen, said that that's her favorite.

Those sound very interesting. They also have a Malibu chicken. I like a Malibu chicken. Yes. You do.
So they've got one of those to try. Oh, they're back just for the fries alone. Yeah. It's good to see. Homemade fry sauce.
Right? Now I'm hungry. I'm sorry. Josh and Chantel date night at Blue Wave. If you wanna go try it out for yourself, you can.
So I'm rolling dead at Idaho Falls. You had a procedure done the other day. Sure did. And it was gonna take a while. When I Sure did.
Arrived there to wait for you, they informed me that it was going to take longer than they thought. And so I said, ah, crud. Phones it I think I was at 33%, and I went, crappy sandwich. Yeah. So I texted I texted the kids, and I said, hey.
I'm gonna need you to bring me my charger and a book, and here's where those things are located. Yeah. And then my lovely, lovely considerate daughter said, would you also like a snack? And I said, yes. Yeah.
Yes. I would. What kind of snack did you get? She brought me we have little cookie bags, and she brought me some Nutter Butters. Nice.
Yeah. It was lovely. But how sweet and considerate was that. I hadn't even thought that I needed a snack, and then she said, would you like a snack? And I said, yes.
I would love a snack. Well, you got a snack. So I had my phone. I had my charger. I had my book, and I had a snack.
What else could a what else could a gal want? I that's everything, I think. It's I propped myself down in in a chair in the waiting area, and I said, this is where I'm gonna be until I get contacted otherwise. And you were just fine. I was just fine.
I was happy happy as a clam sitting there waiting. With your Nutter Butters and your phone charger. I will say that. Using your phone charger? No.
I didn't. And I kept looking for a place to plug it in. Right. I will say that I was snacking on my Nutter Butters when they called me to say that your doctor needed to have a consultation with me. Uh-huh.
So I was mid Nutter Butter, and I went, uh-huh. Yep. Sure. Sure. Sure.
I'm ready to have a serious conversation now. Yeah. Let's go. Let's let's figure out what's going on. And then I didn't know where to put my open bag of Nutter Putters.
This is actually a very funny story. They go? I put them I was carrying around a bag of some prescriptions that they had given you. And so I was carrying that bag around, and I threw my happy bag of Nutter Butters in there. And then when I was having the consultation with the doctor, he said, oh, are these prescriptions that they gave him?
And I said, yeah. And he said, oh, I just need to take a peek really quick at him. Anyway, my Just just hand it over. Just just hand it over. Tell me you didn't take the Nutter Butters out.
No. I apologize. I'd overly explained and said, oh, my snack is in there. Let me let me grab that out. It would have been hilarious if you'd be like, they prescribed him Nutter Butters?
What? That's wild. That's crazy. So silly. I was like, oh, that's just my garbage.
Or, hey, if you wanna have one of those, I won't tell. Like, that's another thing you coulda done. Hey. You go ahead. If you wanna grab up one of those It's been a long day.
Do you need a snack? Yeah. You need another butter? You can have another butter. Before you head back in?
That is funny. I didn't have a bag. I did have my purse, but it wasn't capable of holding all the stuff that I had to carry around. So I was also using your prescription bag as my As a lunch bag. As my carry on bag.
Yeah. So All good. I was just packing that thing around with my book and my snacks inside. I think it's very funny that you would've that you shouldn't have said a word. Just been like, oh, sure.
And, like, restapled it so it looked like they got left in there. Where's they gonna find staples? Just ask somebody. They stapled it once. They have staplers around.
You know? Yeah. They do. That would have been so weird. Hey.
Can I borrow a stapler? Yeah. I just gotta staple this shut real quick. It's for a joke. It's for a joke.
It's a good joke. It's a good funny joke. I always have cold toes. I've found Bed socks. Solution.
What is it? Well, I forgot my night socks the other day, and you don't let me tuck. No. I don't want your cold feet making me cold. You used to let me tuck my toes underneath you.
When you were trying to impress me, you did. There's other ways. We have heated blankets. There's a dog. It's not the same.
Okay. So here's what happened, and I went, this is it. This is the key. You were laying on your side of the bed. I was laying on my side of the bed.
Usual. And then you got up to do something. When you left, your side of the bed was so toasty warm. Oh, yeah? So I tucked all my feet up on that warm space.
It was chef's kiss. Oh, really? That's what you need to do every day. I told you. There we have a heating pad.
We have a heated blanket. All you have to do is fire up one of those. You can have hot feet. That's the that's the thing, isn't it? All of that takes effort.
Oh. All you need to do I'm enabling your laziness. Get yourself the heated pad or the blanket. Yeah. Yeah.
Yeah. Yeah. All you need to do is lay in bed for 20 minutes. No. Get up and leave, and I'll be like, okay.
It's time for me to lay down now. Toasty warm. You'll be my natural bed warmer. Okay. Do you think that was a job back in the day for people?
Warmer? No. No. No. It's not a bed I bet people hire people to warm their beds.
No. They did. They did. No. I need that, though.
It was perfect for my phone to the heating pad. Put it by your feet. Josh. Done. That takes so much work.
It takes no work. Because here's what happens. I don't remember my toes are cold until I get into bed, and then I go It's right next to the bed. It's not. It's way far away.
Oh, way far. The heating blanket? No. The heating pad is, but the That's what I'm saying. The outlet is far away.
Oh. I'm gonna have to get out of bed. Bummer. I know. You're gonna be okay.
I found the solution. I don't like the solution. Why? Because it still involves work I have to do. And I'm I'm I'm I've enabled you too much.
You need to take control of your own comfort. I don't want to. Well, you're gonna have to. You've done it so well for the past 20 years. You're on your own, kid.
No. Yeah? Yeah. Don't kick me out of the nest. You're gonna have to figure it out yourself.
I did figure it out. That's what I'm telling you. Involving my participation. But you're already participating without realizing I have to leave the bed in order for you to take advantage. Yeah.
But you usually leave the bed anyway. Yeah. But well You usually do, like, a trip to the bathroom before you settle down. Right. You gotta go get some water.
Done. It's already done. It's already figured out. I've got it figured out. I'm just plugging in the heating pad and leaving it in there.
You are gonna? No. You are. That's the that's the solution, and you're gonna do it before you go to bed. Roll tape.
You said I am. Yeah. You are. No. No.
No. You said that. Yeah. You were gonna do that. I'm not gonna do it.
I'll help you find the outlet. I know where the outlet is. Prove it. I don't want that is what I'm saying. I want the natural body heat.
No. That's mine. You can't have it. You used to be nicer to me Come on. When you were trying to impress me back in our dating years.
Back in our dating years. When you were trying to impress me, you would do nice stuff. Now you don't do any nice stuff? No. None.
0. I don't do anything nice. Nothing. Just an old Crotchy. Old man.
Yeah. Not gonna do anything nice for my wife. Nope. Nothing. Not a thing.
Not a single thing. She could never be able to tuck her cold toes underneath me. That's right. Because I'm so mean. That's right.
I'm a big, old, mean, old man. Sigh. I'm clicking around at eastidhohnews.com. Yes. And I'm in their features section, and they have a feature they call workin' it.
And, this particular story happens to be about what happens to the surgery tools in hospitals after they get used because they don't throw that stuff away. It gets resanitized and repackaged, and then it's available for use again because they they can clean them. And it's really kind of a fascinating process, and they've got a video that kinda tells the whole story here, but it's a a multistep process from, from an initial cleaning, to a sterilization process. And then there's a an actual, like, wrapping process where everything kinda gets, put away in these, special blankets, and then it's put into, an oven, an autoclave that is, like, incredibly hot, like, crazy crazy So really deep sanitizer. Deep sanitizations so that these things are completely sterile and can be used again.
This happens to be, take place at the at the cleaning facility at EIRMC. And so it's kinda cool. In December alone, the department, the sterilization processing the sterile processing department, sterilized an average of 26 1,400 instruments Oh, wow. Per day. Per day.
I mean, that makes sense if you consider the people that go in and out and what they're there for and all the different activities they're No kidding. Taking in. That's fascinating. Yeah. What a crew.
I was listening to you watch the video. I didn't watch the video with you, but I could hear. And it sounded like an like a fascinating process. Yeah. I mean, they have a whole lab, in the hospital, of course, where they where they do all the sanitation stuff.
But, the sterile processing department staff, they clean, assemble, sterilize, store, and distribute the instruments used throughout the facility. They're on the front lines of patient safety and infection prevention, which makes a whole lot of sense. Yeah. I mean, it's a clean space. It's a sanitary space, and they're working hard every single day.
On average, 26,400 instruments per day Wow. Getting cleaned in there. Pretty cool. If you wanna check out that video, it's eastidahoneews.com. It's under the features section under work in it, and you can get a little behind the scenes of what goes on in the hospital.
It's really neat. So Thank you to those people. Yeah. No kidding. Right?
Unsung heroes. You just don't know about. They're behind the scenes. Yeah. Making sure everybody's clean and healthy and safe.
All the crud. Yeah. That can't be I mean, I'm sure they're they gotta be, like, initially wiped out before they get there. Right? And maybe.
I don't know. I don't know what it looks like when they roll into the sanitation room, but, I'm glad those folks are there taken care of. That's for sure. So go check out the work in it section at eastidownews.com if you wanna see about the video. Do you know what's on your bucket list?
You have some pretty cool things on your bucket list. I'm not not really. I mean, I I have things that I'd like to accomplish, places I'd like to see. Yeah. But that's pretty much it.
Like, I don't have like, I gotta go skydiving. Like, that's not on my list. I don't wanna I don't need to go do Dangerous Yes. Extreme sports kind of things. I don't Like, I don't need to go to Utah and go off that swing in the canyon.
No. I don't wanna do that either. But but I do wanna travel. Like, I've never been to, you know, Zion National Park and stuff. Like, I'd like to go there.
Just don't remember. We went when I was very little. And stuff. I think it'd be cool to go there. And that's so close.
I know. But I've also not been to Yosemite, and I've not been to the giant sequoias, and I've not been to the Oregon coast. Like, there's a lot of things I haven't done. There is a mom who posted her son's bucket list. He is 13.
Okay. And there are 20 items on this list, and it's pretty intense. So this 13 year old kid, I don't know his name, but he wants to get a full taxidermy alligator. Okay. He wants to discover a new species.
Okay. He wants to get a cool jeep. He wants to prove the existence of goblins. Okay. He wants to get married.
He wants to legally change his name. He's they said his name is pretty common, but he wants to change it to something like Trevor Bartholomew dongle pants the third. Is his name Trevor? I don't know. It could be.
Alright. He wants to go on a fossil dig. He wants to That's cool. Snorkeling with a shark. Okay.
He wants to meet an alien, and he wants to beat up someone. Oh, he wants to be in a fight? Yeah. Wanna beat somebody up. I think this list is pretty it's a pretty well rounded list.
He's got some pretty common things on there. He wants to eat an octopus, which is something that you can do. Sure. But, again, these are all experiences, and what a creative list. I know.
I think it's so cool. And then I see some things on this list. I'm like, yeah. I wanna go on a fossil dig. Like, I've got, like, certain places I'd like to go fishing.
Like, I would love to fish the Blackfoot River Uh-huh. In Montana Yeah. Which is the the famed river from A River Runs Through It. Oh. Like, I would like to fish that river.
K. I would like to That's totally attainable. I know it is. And when we drove up to Northern Idaho a couple of years ago, we drove through a good portion of Montana We did. Which followed beautiful river, like, the whole way.
So it was whole time we're driving, you go, I could fish that. I could fish that. That's a good that's a good tip. Pull over and fish. I should've brought fishing gear.
Yeah. But you need it. License for Montana. Fishing license. I could've got a a 2 day license and then gone fishing everywhere it went.
Everybody would've loved that trip. The point is, this this little guy's list is very attainable things, plus some, like, high achieving things. I think it's a very well rounded list. Wonder what he's gonna do with that taxidermy alligator, though. That's an interesting one.
He leads off with that. Yeah. That's the number one thing on his plate. Taxidermied not taxidermied an alligator himself. No.
He wants to obtain 1. Yes. For what? Don't know. I don't either.
Put it on wheels, give it a collar and a leash, and drag it around town. Some people think you have a pet alligator. I don't know. I don't know what you're up to. Trevor, Bartholomewell, frankincense, and myrrh, whatever your name was.
Prove the existence of goblins. Yeah. That's gonna take some work. But But I feel like he's up for the challenge. Yeah.
I feel like if anyone can do it, it's you in his cool Jeep with this taxidermied alligator by its side. Top, zip tied to the roof. What a cool guy. He's got big dreams. He's got big dreams.
Keep that list alive. I think that's great. Work that list. And beat someone up. Yeah.
And beat somebody. Their consent. Yeah. Hey. Can I beat you up?
No. Okay. I'll keep asking the next step. I'll keep I'll keep asking. Can I beat you up?
Sure. Cool. Punch. Punch. Punch.
Cross that off my list. Yep. Done. Hey, Chantel. Hey.
What's up, Joshua? Just one question for you. Would you rather this or that? Would you rather live in a house made entirely of candy, but it attacks a swarm of bees? It attracts or attacks?
Attracts. Did I say attack? Yeah. Attracts. K.
So you always have bees around. No. Thanks. Or live in a house made entirely of ice, but it's always freezing cold inside. Well, that's because it's made of ice.
Right. Right. Right. I'm gonna go with candy K. Because I don't want to be cold.
Alright. And I'll just have to deal with the bees. Okay. Now are we talking bees, or are we talking yellow jackets? We're talking bees.
Okay. I'm I'm in favor of the bees. I like the bees. The bees don't care about me. Okay.
Now what if I say yellow jackets? Do you still wanna live in the house of candy, or would you pick the free yellow jack? Nobody does. Their moms do. No.
No. They don't. I'm still picking the candy. I'm still picking the candy house because I don't like to be cold. And my house made of wood and insulation is still pretty cold, so I know what it feels like Yeah.
To live in a house of cold. Candy house. Yeah. I'm I'm I'm with you on the candy house, but it's gotta be bees, not wasps. Okay.
I said bees. I know. So it'll be bees. And and then maybe I could have a little thing for the bees to live in, a beehive. There you go.
A little candy beehive. Harvest honey from my candy house. That's what holds your house together. Honey holds the house together? Yeah.
I don't think that's how it works. That is how it works. No. Works like glue. No.
Stuck together like glue. It doesn't have, it has a melting point that is way too low. So House of candy for you and me. That's right. Would you rather this or that?
Hey. Hey. You are you ready for a weekend? Yes. You got big plans?
No. No. Because you have to work. I do have to work. That's rude.
You know how many weekends I've had to work and you haven't in the history of ever? That doesn't mean you need to be a jerk about it. I mean, I'm not jerk. I'm just excited that I don't have to. That's all.
So, no, I don't have any big plans. But when I do get home and I don't have to work, guess what? I'm gonna be spending my time by myself, not with you. You're being a jerk. You mean doing all that sewing you've been wanting to do anyway?
Yeah? Yes. Yeah? Yeah. Yeah.
It's what I wanna do. You wanna do some dancing? Yes. 2 moms in Germany, Anna and Andrea, created a solution for tired tired moms who miss dancing. Okay.
What did they do? It's it's called mama goes dancing, but in German. It's a it's these special dance parties from 8 PM to 11 PM for when the kids go to bed, so you can go dancing? Well, do you have to leave your house? Well, so I think so.
Oh, I just I don't wanna do that. I just wanna dance. Like, maybe I could It's going wild all over all over Germany, Austria, and Switzerland right now. Maybe I could just turn on a video of them dancing, and I can do it in my pajamas in my house. I would prefer that.
Okay. I wanna go dancing, but I also don't wanna leave home. I see. And I also don't wanna do my hair or get dressed, so I just wanna dance in my pajamas. So can that be it?
Sure. The idea here was that the kid's asleep, so you get to go out and and have a mom mom goes dancing night out. But where's what is happening with your kids? A dad. It's mom's night out, not mom and dad's night out.
Then I would recommend to moms that you leave your phone at home so that the men, the dads can't get ahold of you. I see. I see. German mothers. It's it's blowing up all over Germany, Austria.
They're going to expand to France. The parties feature live music and dancing. Some parties also offer food and drinks. Special nightclubs where moms can let loose after kids go to bed. That's the whole concept.
Kids go to bed 8 PM to 11. You can go out, dance it up Have a snack and do. Go back home. Can you wear your pajamas? Sure.
Why not? Reclaim your social life. Have fun even if it's just for a few hours. One mom even said it was her first time dancing in over 6 years. Aw.
See, I think that's a fun idea. Big deal. Mama Goes Dancing. That's what it's called. It's a brilliant business idea for somebody.
Brilliant. 8 to 11, dance club, mama goes dancing. Home by Mama go yeah. Home by done at 11. It shuts it down.
I'm gonna be home by 10 probably. Yeah. That's fine. Show up at 8. Mama go dancing.
Probably 8:15. That's right. Fashionably. In my pajamas. I'm gonna dance for a couple hours.
I'm gonna have a snack, and then I'm gonna say, okay. I'm tired. I'm gonna go home at 10. That's fine. There's no rules.
Dance however much you wanna dance. Right? Yeah. That's right. You can dance if you want to, they say.
You can leave your friends behind. Anyway, something to think about for the weekend maybe. A little dance party. I mean, you don't have little kids anymore. No.
I don't. I can leave whenever I want. You can you can mama can dance I do. In the kitchen and dance. In the kitchen all the time.
Yeah. Mama can dance. You just need the light show. That's where you come in. I have the light show.
That's what I'm saying. That's that's your part of the experiment. We could turn my studio into your dance space. Okay. I can show you how to run the music and everything.
Like to do it in the kitchen. I feel like there's more space in the kitchen. And the kitchen has hardwood, and so if I'm wearing my socks I don't have the light show upstairs. The light shows downstairs. That's why you just turn off the lights, and then you'll have a flashlight.
And that's that's all the light show I need. I'm not gonna just sit there with flashlights. No. That's not it. That's that's too budget.
That's all I need. No. You're better than that. You deserve better than that in a light show. You deserve more than 2 flashlights dancing around you.
You're you're worth you need some color lights. Thanks, John. You're, yeah, you're worth more than that. That's nice. It's the nicest thing you've said to me today.
Oh, okay. You're better than 2 flashlights? Have a good weekend. We'll be back Monday, bright and early. Enjoy.
Enjoy. We'll do that. Alright. Bye. Thanks for listening to wake up classy 97, the podcast.
