Hey. It's Josh and Chantel, and this is Wake Up Classy 97, the podcast. How about we do a replay of today's full show? Let's do it. It's Tuesday, January 28th.
On today's show, Idaho got its own earthquake yesterday. And we shaking. Cool. Yeah. Sunday is Groundhog Day, and PETA has a new idea to predict the weather.
I don't even wanna talk about it. If you missed it, it's quite the conversation, so I'm just gonna leave it alone. We have dead batteries all over the place. Yeah. The the 3 cars, dead batteries.
Yeah. Only one car running. I got a remote in my hand right now. No batteries in it. I got I got no batteries.
I got I need batteries. Or have all the batteries gone? The high maintenance quiz. Yeah. I think you passed.
I think I did pass. You are a low maintenance lady. I'm pretty proud of that. Yeah. Good.
It's a great pride in it. You should be. You should be. We're so cool with our mouth guards. So cool.
So cool, you guys. So cool. So cool. Why is parent teacher conference so awkward? I think it's because it's adults.
If it was just kids, it'd be fine. Yeah. But it's adults. Yeah. Adults are weird.
And then you're like, hey. Hey. Talk about my kid. Do you have any, like, thing to talk about? What's going on with my kid?
Bye bye. I did a lot of listening. I don't know if you noticed. No. I did notice.
You could've chimed in a little bit more. That would've been super great. No. It was fine. There were enough adults talking.
I wanna play dance telephone. Alright. Ready? Copy this move. Oh, body roll.
Got it. Nice. Good. Now pass it along. Okay.
I will. Alright. Hurry up. I can't who to who? There's nobody around.
Oh, okay. Well, it's not gonna work with 2 people. I know. Beef, butter, and cheese is not a healthy diet. But, boy, is it not delicious.
No. Ugh. No. No. No.
No. No. We bought a date night game months ago and haven't opened it yet. Well, now and then you said you kinda started opening it without me, and I kinda feel like that was rude. I I stopped.
I told you I stopped. We got it on the calendar to do it tonight. Oh, is it on the calendar? On the calendar. Oh, it's it's in the books now.
I'm gonna try my hand at plumbing. It's gonna be awesome. Let me know how it goes. I'm gonna fix it. Okay.
We signed up for a snack food cooking challenge. I hope I win. I was reading it more. Like, I really wanna win that. Me too.
Like, not just because it's $1,000 and the and the the snacks and stuff. Like, I just think that sounds like a really fun opportunity. I know. And we need to be better at teaching kitchen skills to kids. Yeah.

Do you remember yesterday's show? Yeah. Do you remember the last thing we talked about on yesterday's show? Nope. The earthquake in Maine Oh, yeah.
Yeah. Yeah. Was the last thing that we were talking about on the show yesterday. Yes. And unbeknownst to me, as we were talking about an earthquake in Maine, there was an earthquake happening in Idaho.
No. Yes. Where at? Well, it was happening, in Custer County, actually very near the Yankee Fork Gold Dredge, which we have not visited, but we've been at the intersection where you would turn north to go, to go look at. Located.
Chalice area on your way to Stanley, that kinda area. Okay. Chalice, Mackie, Stanley, Custer County? Oh, no. What was the magnitude?
It was bigger than the one in Maine. Really? Yeah. It was a 4.2. So take that, New England.
No. It's no. No? It's not a competition. Oh.
We got bigger earthquakes out here west. We don't want we don't want those. No? No. It's You don't like, shaken competition?
No. It's fine. We don't we don't we don't wanna win that game. The director of the Idaho Geological Survey, Claudio Berti or Berte, was actually on on the way, from or to a an emergency management association conference on Monday when the news hit. Yeah.
Pretty wild. The depth of the earthquake was about 7 miles, and there's a good likelihood of some aftershocks, yesterday and today and maybe even tomorrow from that same earthquake as rocks settle and stuff, which is cool. Okay. People are fine, and no nobody got injured? No word about injuries or, you know, damage to structure or anything like that.
Good news. Hopefully. I would say. But it's also kind of out in the middle of nowhere. Okay.
So there is that. Like, it's it's not to say there aren't people around that live in Custer County, and they say that shock waves could have been felt, in the northern Boise area Okay. Depending. But, you certainly would have felt it in Stanley, on the way to Boise. But this happened yesterday?
Yeah. Yesterday morning, almost exactly the time I was talking about Maine having an earthquake. Way. Yeah. Well, quit talking about earthquakes, Josh.
Well, let's see what happens today. This is a superpower that's not cool to have. Okay. Quit it. The last time that Idaho has seen an earthquake of the of the magnitude that we saw yesterday was February of 24.
4.9 earthquake hit near Smiths Ferry, which is north of Boise. So that act that area is, a little bit active right now. High activity. Yeah. A little bit of earthquake activity happening there.
It is interesting. I I told you about, Claudio. Claudio also said I'm just trying to find Have you ever felt an earthquake? Yeah. But I wasn't aware of what I was feeling, and it wasn't strong.
But I was at work, in Pocatello when one, hit. And it I was in a in a a chair that had wheels and kinda rocked back and forth. Uh-huh. Just an office chair. Right?
Yeah. And when it shook, my chair kinda just rocked a little bit weird. Mhmm. And I was and I was in a basement. And so it was it was strange, but it wasn't, like, you know, huge, severe shaking like that.
I was trying to find the quote, and now I I can't seem to find it. But, it was interesting because the the oh, here you go. Natural beauty is always underlined by some very strong forces that actively shape it. And sometimes those who, sometimes those forces need to be carefully lived with. I think that's an interesting I think we know that about, Most things.
Right? Mother nature and and the earth. Yeah. We know that. She's she's a wild woman, mother.
That's right. If you wanna learn more about the story, it is at eastidahonews.com. That's where I found the, the details. Kind of an interesting, story. And there's more connections in there, and there's actually, the USGS, earthquake map.
You can see exactly where the epicenter, of this, earthquake was, and that's why I say where it hit. I don't know that there's a lot of people around that area. Mhmm. But that's because it's like campgrounds and all kinds of stuff. But, anyway, you can go check it out at eastidahonews.com, if you wanna learn more about that earthquake.
Okay. And just be, earthquake aware. Just be earthquake safe, you know. Know where you need to be in the event of an earthquake. Where do you go?
Do you still go in a door frame? Absolutely. Or is that not allowed anymore? No. Do you know why you wanna go to a door frame?
No. That's interesting. The way that buildings are constructed, those walls if you're in an open area like this and things start shaking, ceiling tiles can fall. Uh-huh. Stuff can fall on you.
The most stable place. So if you go there, you have a wall above you, which has a lot of construction and and could potentially be load bearing for the building, which would then have above the doors, there's big headers. There's a lot of extra construction above a door, and that's why it's kind of like a shield. Like they told you to do in school. I think depending on the desk, that the school desks were so small.
Getting under these counters would be protective because they're they're big, sturdy, heavy duty counters that would catch the debris that could potentially fall on you. Okay. You know what I'm saying? Yeah. I'm safe here.
You wanna be able to not be hit in the head by stuff. That's really important. Goal every day. Don't get hit in the head by stuff. It's a good rule.
That's my goal every day. Alright. Well, good morning. We're here in the studio. Hi.
Hello. Groundhog Day is on February 2nd. 2nd. Yeah. That's in 5 days.
So it's Sunday? Yeah. Yeah. Sunday. PETA.
You know? The People For Ethical Treatment of Animals. Yes. You know PETA. Uh-huh.
They want Punxsutawney Phil to be retired to an animal sanctuary. I see. They don't enjoy the fact that he is being exploited. Uh-huh. So they've offered suggestions to do something different.
So instead of having the, the marmot come out of a stump Yes. And scruff him up and go, this is Punxsutawney, and he's seen his shadow, which they it's just dudes in cool hats saying what they think happened. Yeah. And then we go, more winter. Cool.
More winter. Yeah. It's always more winter. And even when they say it's spring, it's still more winter. Last year was, like, the 1st year in a very long time that it was an early spring.
I imagine we're going back to more winter because more winter. Couldn't have nice things all at once. No. We So can't have anything nice. Six more weeks of winter for sure is happening on Sunday when they lift up the marmot.
And they hold them in the air, and that's the part they're probably not into. Like, I understand the exploiting of an animal, but, like, where are these do the animals live in the stump all year? I don't know. Are they I'm sure he's treated very nice. Forward to it.
Someone should make a movie or, at least an animated film about the groundhog's life the other 364 days of the year. Like, how many, Santa Claus movies do we have prepping for that one day a year? True. There is Easter Bunny movies too. How many Are there pucks I don't know.
But how many see. There's probably a couple. How many Punxsutawney Phil movies? 0. Well Oh, well, other than Groundhog Day.
But it's not really about Punxsutawney Phil, is it? No. It's really about Ned Ryerson. Ned? Yeah.
Ned Ryerson? That's him. So Watch that first step. It's a douche. You know.
You know. I get it. Yeah. That made me so happy. Isn't that right?
So so, yeah, you know, holding up that that groundhog. Okay. So here's PETA's suggestion. Oh, yeah. I forgot they had ideas, alternatives.
Well, they have one idea. Oh, 1? Give give the fine folks of Punxsutawney a few options. They okay. They want they wanna permanently put Punxsutawney fill in the reputable animal sanctuary.
Uh-huh. And they they do know this isn't the first puxetani filled. This isn't the same one they've been using for aware. I I would assume. They want to provide a giant vegan weather reveal cake every year.
Weather reveal cake. The inside of the cake is blue Oh. That's 6 more weeks of winter. And if it's fire pink, early spring. Yeah.
Look. It's not that it's a terrible idea. It's just it's a gender reveal cake. But You could have I mean, at least use different color. How about green?
Green for green grass. Oh. White for white snow. Come on. Blue and pink?
We already used that for something else. I'd like to retire I like that. I like your idea. Cakes. I agree with you.
I like your idea. I like the green for grass and white for snow. I mean, you know, or yellow for sunshine. Ice cream cake. Or if I called.
But, also, they said a giant one, which would would which would make me assume they're they want it to be big enough to feed the people in attendance of the event. I I assume so. But remember, it's gonna be vegan, so not a lot of people are gonna wanna eat it. Well, that I don't know if that's necessarily true. The the the difference between a vegan and a nonvegan cake is going to be eggs.
K. So it's a it's an eggless cake because the rest of it is flour and sugar and whatever. Right? Fair. Yeah.
If there's milk involved, milk won't be involved. But I I don't know. I don't know if you can drink milk. I don't depending on your risk. Almond milk?
I don't know. I don't know. I don't know. I I've determined I know nothing about veganism. Okay.
Fair. I people are saying there's very little chance that this is actually happening. I would agree. A 100% that groundhog's coming with that stone. That they they saw what they thought was a problem, and they said, here's our solution.
It wasn't a great one. Well, it is. Workshopped it a little bit. They didn't even call and ask me my opinion, and I would have said blue and pink, guys. Come on.
We can do better than that. There's more colors. We can make the inside of a cake any color we want. Sometimes white cake just comes like white. That's what I'm saying.
It's easy. Pretty easy. And then you're not using I would I would say Color added. White or yellow. Sure.
Don't need them. But you can get natural coloring. You don't have to use artificial food coloring to do that. There you go. That's what I know about Groundhog Day.
You cut open a cake and it has actual grass clippings in it. You can't eat grass. It's a salad practically at that point. Well, a scary situation unfolded earlier this month involving the rescue of a stranded dog named Tiny. Oh, Tiny.
I don't know what kind of dog Tiny is. Let me see if I can find that out while I'm telling the story. But, while on a hike near Cole Brand, Colorado, Tiny was separated from her owners, and had somehow gotten stranded. But luckily, Tiny's panicked owners were able to use the GPS collar that Tiny was wearing to find her approximate location. However, that location was on a cliff, and it was too unsafe to attempt to reach her.
So members of the Mesa County search and rescue team arrived and found that Tiny had indeed gotten herself into some pretty serious trouble. The terrain was so jagged that even the skilled search and rescue pros were unable to get to the dog easily. They traveled through snow covered terrain. They rappelled and climbed through cliffs for 6 hours Oh my gosh. And finally made contact with Tiny several 1000 feet up the mountain.
Tiny? What are you doing? Obviously, the pup was weak and scared when the team found her, but, but obviously happy. Lots of tail wags. And listen to this.
The rescuers had to bring her back down the mountain rappelling off of multiple waterfalls. Tiny was finally reunited with her owners at about 10 PM. Which listen. Repelling off of a waterfall sounds beautiful Mhmm. And also very dangerous.
Right? Tiny looks to be like a beagle. Tiny? Tiny. I like it.
So tiny? The team announced the successful adventure with a press release that read, every mission matters for Mesa County Search and Rescue even if it's tiny, capitalized. A person's a person no matter how small. That's right. He's not a person, though.
It's a dog. Every living thing's a living thing no matter how small. That's right. Who said that? You know?
Suess. Good job. Doctor Suess. Good job. You did it.
Thanks. You're welcome. Tiny, is wearing a rescue harness in this photo, which makes sense because they would have put the vest on to, 1 Lower hip? Yeah. To, like, lower a clip clipper to a harness so that they could repel the I just imagine Tiny's feet hanging there.
Can you imagine our dog getting in that vest, being rescued, hanging off of somebody's hip? Our dog would fight and say, I don't wanna be in this thing. Oh my. We tried to put a diaper on our dog the other day. It didn't work.
Well, it's a dog diaper. Is a dog diaper. Let's be clear. There's a reason for the dog diaper. It isn't like we were being inhumane or anything.
The dog diaper is on purpose. Anyway alright. Good job, Johnny. To get you going. Way to go.
That's how I feel about my car battery right now. What? The part. Mhmm. I know.
It wouldn't start again today. I don't know. 2nd day in a row. And I did charge it yesterday. And I started the car, and it ran.
And I turned it off. And I started the car, and it was all good. And it did not wanna start again in the cold this morning. And I'm not stoked about that yesterday. About it either.
We were talking about cold cranking amps. And I'm, I'm a feared that you might, need some Some new? Some new cold cranking amps. Yeah. Some CCAs Yep.
As they say. That's what they say on the battery. It does have a little sticker that says CCA. That's cold cranking amps. And does each battery listen.
I don't wanna talk about cold cranking amps again, but does each battery have a different amount of cold cranking amps? That's right. Yeah. How much do I need then for my car? 2.
I don't I don't know. They're, like, 70 something. I don't know how many how many cold cranking amps are in there. It's a diesel engine, so does it need more than a regular engine? Question.
I don't know the answer to that. Interesting. Not really interesting. Not really. I hate, I hate spending money on dumb stuff.
I know. And this is a dumb stuff. I totally agree. And it's also an expensive stuff. Like, why are car batteries as expensive as they are?
Because they last forever. Well, they're supposed to don't last forever. They don't last forever, but they are supposed to last a long time. As you said, mine is 9 years old. Yeah.
Yours, yours is a 20 16 16 battery, I think I said. Uh-huh. And, and we've got another one. Our son's battery is dead as well. His car won't start.
It's a whole it's a whole fun time. 3 cars that are fast. It's nuts. Works. Yeah.
1 out of 4. Oh, I guess there are 4. Out of 4 has a battery that's functioning right now, which is just crazy. Stay alive. Your battery I'm trying.
Stay alive. I keep having to jump everybody. You have to go a 1000000 different ways today to make sure that we all get where we need to. Yeah. It's it's, it's a thing.
It's a thing. It's not my it wasn't my intention to not start. I like driving my car. I like having my independence. I like being my own person.
I don't like being reliant on somebody to chauffeur me around. Alright. Let's see. I and I and then I've been looking at the expensiveness of this stuff. That's the hard part.
Want to. I know. So yeah, dude. It's it's not fun. This is not a fun purchase.
Ugh. Ugh. Ugh. Like, I just keep scrolling. Not excited about it.
And I know it's cold. I know it's been really cold, but we've had cold fronts like this before Sure. And my car has worked Yeah. Fine. Yeah.
The battery is just cold. It's well and I did you specifically go to the auto parts website and put in your vehicle and stuff? You can't just look generically at a battery. You gotta look specifically at what's gonna work in your car. A golf battery, a Volkswagen golf battery.
Oh, fancy. Isn't that what I need to look at? Need a golf cart battery, I think. Yeah. Yeah.
Yeah. Looking specifically at at the batteries for both you and our son's cars, they're they're 2 100, $250 each. It's ridiculous. It's crazy. I don't want It's crazy.
I know. I know. I mean, and then they go up from there. I could I could really drop some coin On the battery. And then have yeah.
Drop some coin. Yeah. Drop some bet. Drop some, real big coin on, on a $400 battery. Good gracious.
Would you spend that? I don't know. Battery. I I honestly, I don't know. Like a like a warranty?
Maybe you're purchasing it for a warranty? Or I don't know. This this battery, this $408 battery has 760 cold cranking amps. That's a lot of cold cranking amps. It is a lot of cold cranking amps.
Yeah. Yeah. It is. I don't know. I'm just not excited that I have to go battery shopping.
It's the most boring thing to shop for. It's just it's just awful. Dumb way to spend your money. Yep. I don't wanna spend my money on this.
I'm trying to save for a vacation. That is absolutely true. And And I'm mad. Yeah. No.
We all heard. You banged your hand on the counter, and it ricocheted through across the nation. We all heard. I want everyone to know how upset I am. Yeah.
You have to buy a car battery. What a dumbest offense. I know. It really is. It really it really is.
Especially when it works. Like, you had it charged yesterday, and it was working yesterday. Yeah. And then this morning, it was like, oh, no. I'm too cold.
I'm too cold to get out of bed. Yeah. Well, it takes a little extra oomph to start an engine in the, in the cold. That's why it has cold cranking. No.
I know. It takes a lot of oomph to get my engine cranking. Right. Now imagine you were sleeping outside in the singles and the negative digits. You would be like, no.
Not doing it. Waking up either. Not doing it. Anyway, that's my day today filled with batteries. Hooray.
I'm sorry. The question is, how high maintenance are you? Me. Yes. You.
I want you to answer first. How high maintenance do you think I am? I don't think you're very high maintenance. I don't think I'm very high maintenance either. But we're gonna find out.
So this is a point system, and there's a different amount of points allotted in each one of these. So I'm gonna read through this list. You tell me Do I need to keep this? Apply. Yeah.
You'll just need to keep a tally. You don't need to necessarily keep notes, but you'll need to keep a point tally k. As we go through this list of how high maintenance are you. K. And, obviously, the higher the score, the higher the maintenance.
Okay. I don't I I don't think I'm gonna get very many points. Okay. I really don't think I'm high maintenance. Well, let's find out.
I think I'm an emotionally high maintenance. Oh, okay. Wears high heels. No. K.

No. So what's your total points? Let's see. 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18. That's real low.
You could have had up to 10, 20, 40, 50. 6. There's probably 80 points on here or 90 points even, and you got 18. Look at me. I'm real low maintenance.
Yeah. I mean, honestly, you're you're not high maintenance like you could be. I saw this list, and I knew that there was a lot of the stuff you didn't have and didn't do. And I went, if these are the things that define your maintenance level, Like, it's it's a lot of work. It is a lot of work.
It's exhausting trying to keep up with all of that. Right? No. Thank you. I don't want to do any of that.
I don't want to. I don't wanna keep up with my nails. I don't. Right. The most I can do is keep up with my hair, and I'm not even doing a very good job at that.
Well, there you go. So, can't be bothered. I got 0 points. Saying that I could be more high maintenance? No.
I'm saying I like you where you're at. Oh, thanks, Josh. Yeah. I'm just saying as I look through this list, I got 0 points. So Congrats.

Low maintenance, easy breezy people. It's fine with me. I'm happy to be low maintenance. I don't who has I don't want to. It's too much work.
I'm exhausted thinking about all of that Hair extensions and the eyelash extensions. Yeah. Ugh. No. Thank you.
Acrylic nails, painted I can't. Wax brows, eyelashes, tans. No. I'd rather do other things, like take a nap. Okay.
Good answer. I gotta thank you. I gotta say thank you. You're welcome. And it's kind of a dorky reason to say thank you.
This is the dorkiest. I think it's maybe safe to say romance is dead. No. Absolutely not. Here, let me tell you why I gotta say thank you to you.
After 20 minute after 20 years? Yeah. I'm gonna say thanks for, helping me not grind my teeth last night. You're welcome, Josh. Yeah.
I was, I was I was not excited because over the past few nights, there's been this grindage thing, and I'm like, man. And then then you wake up with this dull headache thing, and your jaw hurts. And you said, oh, I have a mouth guard. And I said, a new one? Like Yeah.
You thought I was I don't wanna just borrow one. Like, that sounds like not it. Rep. That's But if you've got a new one, I might try it out. But you had I don't know what those are.
Those are like a little mouth guard device. Are they specifically to stop grinding? Is that what that is? I don't know. I got them because I I'm a clencher.
Yeah. And so I clench my teeth at night. And the same thing, I wake up and I go, ah. My jaw is locked, and it hurts your head. And and I don't wear them every night because I when I wear them, I sleep with my mouth open like this.
And then I Do you? Yeah. And then I wake up and I go, oh, my mouth is so dry. That's interesting. That's cute.
Isn't it? Notice if I snored last night? Actually, I I actually did, and it was much less than it has been. It's interesting. So I I tried out that mouth guard thing.
Uh-huh. I liked it. I I didn't mind it at all. Good. They're just a disposable one.
So you wear them for, like, a week, and then Oh, okay. Get a good idea. Yeah. Oh. So did you throw it away?
No. Okay. No. I put it on my nightstand for later so I can wear it again. There we were in bed.
Yeah. A 2 night guards. 2 mouth guards. Well, see you in the morning. Yep.
You too much. We're the coolest two people, I know. We are. But it really I think it helped. I didn't grind at all.
My, my teeth couldn't it's it's just a little tiny bit of, I don't know, like silicone or whatever it's made of that just keeps your teeth separated just just a bit. But I was curious to know if it helped with the snoring thing as well just because of the position. I think it did. I did notice you snoring at one point, but it was far it was considerably less than normal. Like, it was quieter.
Yeah. So we'll have to try it again tonight. Yeah. Oh, I'm looking forward to it. I liked it.
It was good. It was good. My favorite part is when you said, I don't wanna I don't wanna have to grind my teeth tonight. And I said, I have a mouth guard. Yeah.
And you went A new one? A new one? I I know you have keep you my old one. Well, I didn't I knew you had a mouth guard. I just didn't know if you had more than one, and then I was thinking, you know, I've used ones before where you have to boil them and feed your tea.
Yeah. I don't like those ones either. I don't care for that. So I was like, no. I don't I don't know.
But then you add this it's a little package thing, and you open it up like like, like, you're gonna dip your fries in it. And then, you take the mouth guard out of it. The idea is that you keep it for, like, a week and throw it away. But listen. How long have you had your I'm pretty frugal.
Oh. And so I've had mine for a while. You could use it as long as you want. Okay. Yeah.
I'm trying to figure out, like, what's gonna break down? Like I don't know. I I really have been using I got a new one last night because the one that I had been using was Dusty. Yeah. Yeah.
You could probably use a clean off. And so I was like, when I pulled out your new shiny one, I went and I compared it to the one that I had been using. Ew. Uh-huh. Maybe that's the difference.
Maybe it just gets gross. Get a new one. Mhmm. So I got a new shiny one. Nice.
Well, I liked it. Thanks for the I did find out in the middle of the night because You did? Yeah. I woke up and I went Ah. Because I sleep it makes me sleep with my mouth open, and then my mouth gets so dry.
Just close your mouth. I can't. Why? I guess there's a mouth guard. I did not have a problem.
Oh. Keep my mouth shut. I liked it. Thanks for, thanks for the help. Appreciate it.
Anytime, bud. And we look cool. We had parent teacher conferences last night. They were, successful, I would say. Yeah.
Yeah. Every teacher was like, I love her. She's great. Yeah. No complaints.
10 out of 10. Right? Yeah. And then on the way home well, I guess it happened on the way there. Emery asked us if we had gone with our parents to parent teacher conference.
And I, one, my parents did not go to parent teacher conference when I was in middle school and high school. They only went when I was in elementary school. Mhmm. And, no, I did not go with them. I don't think it was I don't know.
I don't think it was the thing to do. And I don't remember middle school and high school parent teacher conferences. I do remember elementary school, and I and I I sort of remember my parents been like, we're going to parent teacher conference, and then they'd come home and they'd be like, well, here's what we learned Yeah. Or whatever. That's what it was for me too.
I think that's how I kind of remember it going, but I don't remember, middle school and high school parent teacher conference at all. It's it's I don't either. My parents did not go. But what's fascinating to me is that, it just became the norm that you take your kids with you to parent teacher conference. Yeah.
But I think that that's why wouldn't you go for your teachers and your parents to talk about you? So that is If you have questions or if you have, you know, if if your your child slash the student, has missing work, you can say, where is that? You know? And maybe there's a you know? Or what can we how can we encourage them to participate more in class?
Right. Like, whatever. Like, I think there's a time to talk without the child, and I think there's a time to talk with the child. Parent teacher conference certainly is one of those that maybe is a flippy flop. I know that we saw, both parents with their kids there and some parents just on their own.
On their own. So I don't I don't know that there's necessarily a right or a wrong way. I think it's always fun to to go with our kids and meet their teachers with them. I think that's more comfortable. Pretty great for me as a parent was that, Emery asked if we were going, and I said, I didn't really had I hadn't planned on it.
Yeah. I you're you've got really good grades. Do you have concerns or questions for any of your teachers? And she goes, no. I just really like my teachers, and I want you guys to meet them.
Right. Which I thought was fantastic. Yeah. You just And I you know, you put a face with the name. You hear the stories.
You hear about the classes and Yeah. Funny things the teachers do and stuff. And so it's cool. Yeah. I'm okay with that.
But I feel like it's my duty as a parent to know who's teaching my child. Sure. I I feel like that's my responsibility. And for them to meet me and be like, you're a weirdo. That's why that's why your daughter is a little bit weird.
Whatever. I'll have a little more grace with your daughter now that I know who her parents are. That's right. Oh, these 2. Oh, Emory.
Poor girl. Do you remember did did your parents when they did go, did they go every time they came up, or was it only if you had problems in a class or something? God. I you know, I'm trying to remember. It's been so long since I was a student.
It must not have been that big of a deal if I don't necessarily have it in my recollection. Yeah. So my mom, for a long time, worked at the same school, so she knew a lot of the people Yeah. As well. So she just had paired to conferences with Yeah.
She's worked with high every day. Yeah. My mom was on a bowling league with one of my teachers. Oh. So That's fancy.
It was pretty fancy. And this teacher was known to be not so friendly of a teacher Uh-huh. But she liked me because my mom was on her bowling league. And so then everybody was like, oh, teacher's pet. And I'd be like, well, get your mom on a bowling league with her.
Sure. All your problems will be solved. It's pretty easy, guys. That's all. Yeah.
We bowl together. We talk about it over bowling, but it went well, and, no no complaints, which I think is great. I think that's that's probably the best news. I think the the only thing was, like, you know, could she, maybe stop earning all the extra credit? Like, what are we doing here?
I know. She's always high achiever. I know. Just take it down a notch. Yeah.
When you perform this well, people expect that from you. What are you doing? Take a page from your parents' book. Just easy. Easy.
Take it easy. That's funny. Anyway Play your teacher conferences. Another one in the book. Check off the to do list.
Done and done. I saw this game yesterday, and I think it looks awesome, and I wanna play it. What's it called? You need a group, maybe, like, 5 or more people. It's called dance telephone.
Oh, wait. So is this, like, the communication game telephone? Yes. Oh, I think I saw okay. So everybody's in, like, a single file line.
Yes. Like, right behind one another. Yes. And they're all facing the same direction. Uh-huh.
And then one person turns around to go face to face with somebody. They do a dance move, and then that person turns around, taps the person on the shoulder. They turn around. They show them the dance move, and it keeps moving down and down and down. Yeah.
Okay. Yeah. And then when it gets to the end, you see how close it is to the original, like Gotcha. Communication telephone. Yeah.
Dance. But with dance. Dance. I have seen that game. How many people minimum you think you need to play dance telephone?
I think 5. I think 5 minimum. Minimum. Yeah. Do you think any any less than that?
And then you would have the communication strand would be too short? It wouldn't get broken. Correct. How complex are your dance moves? Because I feel like you gotta add in 4 or 5 dance moves.
I think so too. Like, you can't just do, like, one The one I saw wiggly arm thing. Let me think. He did, like, a wiggly arm thing, and then he kinda bent down, and then he brought his hands back up. Yeah.
And then he did another thing. So I would say he had 3 dance moves. Okay. 3. And maybe that's how you start.
Maybe you start with 3, and then if it makes it to the end, you go, that was boring. Let's get progressively harder. Let's throw in a new move. Because I think down the line, everybody was picking up his dance moves. Gotcha.
But everybody has their own dance style and their own dance players, so people were doing it the way that they would do it. Right. So it wasn't translating the way that it should have been translated. I like the idea of dance telephone. I think that sounds like a lot of fun.
I know. I know. I'm surprised you agree. I think it sounds like a good time. Let's do it.
Well, there's only 2 of us. We need 3 or more people. Well, I can get I can round up a couple more people. Oh, you wanna do it, like, now? I I wanna do it whenever we have a chance to.
That's all. When do we get a chance to play dance telephone? That's what I'm saying. Yeah. We've got some coworkers we can round up to do this.
Sure. Victor and Peaches from K Bear? Yeah. Get them in get them in a dance telephony. Dancing?
Oh, yeah. We wouldn't need to be very complex. Oh, no. I think I think we could do, like, 2 dance moves and be like, I don't know how to do that. My body doesn't bend that way.
They're on the rock station. All they know how to do is headbait. That's right. So when it's their turn, we'll all know the dance move. It's this.
Rock. Come on, buddy. That's yeah. Yeah. The little air guitar.
Uh-huh. Oh, yeah. Sure. Why not? We totally throw in some of that.
Dude, what's your air guitar noise? My air guitar doesn't make noise because it's made of air. See? I caught myself in that own trap. In my own trap, I did.
Yep. It's made of air. It is made of air. Cut that myself in that own trap, I did. When, when did you become friends with Ebenezer Scrooge?
The Ebenezer Scrooge. Caught myself in my own trap there. I did. Yeah. I thought you were gonna ask, when did you learn how to talk?
And I was gonna say, I didn't. Yeah. No. I know you know how to talk. Good.
I'm still You talk real good. I'm gonna I'm gonna that's why I'm gonna communicate and dance. Oh. Communicate and dance form. Okay.
How to dance. Mhmm. Alright. This is just deteriorating into oblivion. Yeah.
This is often how my conversations go. And then what? And then what happens? And then I just awkwardly walk away. You just turn and you go, like, well Well See you.
Later. Howdy. There was a man Nuh-uh. Whose hands, feet, and elbows turned orange Wait. After he went on an extreme carnivore diet for 8 months.
I saw this. He ate Gross. He ate only hamburger meat, cheese And butter. And full sticks of Yeah. Butter.
I saw this guy, and his his all of this, like, cracks in his hand looked like they're filled with butter. They look wild. Ugh. He he's, like, super red skin, but his his I is it arteries? What is it that's all white like that?
I don't know. It's crazy looking. Shouldn't be looking like that, Kai. No. You should not be looking like that.
It's the amount of cholesterol that he has. It's all cholesterol. That's a thing. And it's crazy. He lost a bunch of weight, but he also went in, and his doctors were like, bro.
Yeah. Because his his cholesterol? It was, like, over a1000, wasn't it? Yes. And cholesterol is supposed to be, like, extra 200.
Yeah. Yeah. I know. I'm on pills for it. It's crazy.
I saw that guy, and I went, they're freaking out and putting me on medicine, like, just under 200. Like, I'm borderline. And he was And they're like, we should probably get that looked at. So they started me on some stuff for it. This dude's over a1000.
When your cholesterol gets that high, fat starts building up under your skin, which can cause yellow or orange deposits. Usually around your eyes, but it says it's gonna happen anywhere on your body. So that's probably what was going on in his hands. So his hands, feet, and elbows? Is that what you said?
His hands, his feet, and his elbows. Yeah. My goodness. The dude looks like he's been holding sticks of butter for a long time. He said he would been he'd been feeling really good.
He's like feels good. I lost weight, and I feel good. It's just my hands that are orange. Yeah. You're full of butter, dude.
Oh, man. It looks so crazy. He's got blood. His his blood has been replaced with butter. I don't know how believe it's not blood.
That's what this guy's nickname is. I don't exactly know what his diet is. He'd been doing this for 8 months. I mean, we know that he was eating hamburger cheese and sticks of butter. But how much butter was he eating?
Right? How much People that just eat butter like that Ugh. Like, I'm I even on toast, we've had that conversation. I'm a light butter guy. I don't need a lot of butter.
I like butter, but it not full sticks of it by itself. And there are people that, like, drop it in their drinks. So, like, yeah, I got a warm oh, like, a warm cup of coffee. I'm gonna drop butter in it. I'm like, what are you doing?
Drop the butter in your coffee. And I was watching a show last night, and the guy, he was depressed because his girlfriend broke up with him and had a big old block of cheddar cheese, and I just He just spit it. Huge bite of it. So this guy is eating is he eating raw hamburger? Do we know?
I don't think so. Look. If he's eating sticks of butter and cheese, there's a good chance he's just eating raw. There's no way. There's no way.
Dude. He can't be eating raw. He can be. People do that. Be.
Oh. But is he? I don't know. This condition is called oh, golly. High cholesterol.
Xanthelasma. Xanthelasma. Okay. So how how many bowls of Cheerios does he have to eat to make it better? Why Cheerios?
Oh, because it's good for your heart. No. I think, bro, you need some vegetables. Have some broccoli and some blueberries. They got like, you gotta do something.
He's gotta get he's gotta get that under control. Over a 1,000 on his, on his cholesterol. Unbelievable. 1,000? Unbelievable.
And my my cardiac wrist risk was high enough that I was like, this is serious. That guy's cardiac risk risk. His heart is a beef. A beef. Yeah.
He's got a beef heart. And butter. Beef and butter. Butter runs through the veins. Oh.
I can't believe it's not blood. Remember? I do remember now. Beef heart. Thanks for reminding me.
Now I remember. Now well, good luck to that guy. I hope he gets it out of control. Have a vegetable or 2. That's wild.
And I'm not trying to shame him, but that sounds like a diet he chose himself. Absolutely. I don't think anybody was like, no. You can only have beef, butter, and whatever else, cheese. Beef, butter, and cheese.
What a diet. Every meal. What's for breakfast? Beef, butter, Bell Velveeta. I was trying to give it a b.
Baby Bells? Bellvita. Bellvita. Yeah. Oh, I was just thinking of a cheese that started with b, and now I can't think of 1.
I just had it in my brain. Did you? Yeah. What's the one I like? Brie.
Thank you. Jeez Louise. That was so stressful. Swiss? Brie, beef, and butter.
Brie. I don't think he's eating brie. I bet he's biting that cheddar block. The big orange cheddar block, sticks of butter, on cooked beef. Sticks.
You're eating sticks of butter. Yeah. I'm not. That guy did. Don't do it.
I I can't. I'm no doctor, but I'm just saying, try a leafy green. I know because I need to also eat a leafy green. I know because. I know because.
I like to go on dates with you. You do? I think we spend a lot of time together here in the radio station, but I I also just like to go on dates with you. We had a little bit of a date on Sunday when we were driving home from Salt Lake City. You mean when you were napping and I was driving?
That's a date? Yeah. Yeah. No. We went to lunch.
I saw the date where you each pick you go to the store, and then you pick out my favorite drink, my favorite snack Uh-huh. And something for us to do together. And I do the same for you. Okay. I pick out your favorite drink, your favorite snack, and something different for us to do together.
I see. So you could pick like a board game or I could pick like a puzzle. I'll never pick a puzzle, but I could. I won't. But you could.
Or I could pick a movie or I could pick so you go to the store and you and you do that, and then you meet back together and you go, I I got your favorite drink. I got your favorite snack. Let's do this fun thing. Uh-huh. I've seen people do that, which I think is kind of fun.
I think it's a cute idea. Yeah. We bought that date night. Oh, yeah. We did.
We bought that November. We bought that a long time ago. We have have we opened it? I've opened it. I haven't looked at it because I felt like it was almost a betrayal.
I I totally forgot about it. I totally that we should open together. Right. I agree. I didn't even remember we bought that.
Remember, we put it on the kitchen counter so that we wouldn't forget we had it. I don't think I've seen it since we were at the store. It's on the kitchen counter. I couldn't tell you what it looks like. I can't tell you what it's called.
I know nothing about it. It's called mini dates. Oh, good. And they are exciting scratch off adventures. Oh.
So there's 1 there were 2 that we were looking at. Remember? The one was like it came with, like, a scrapbook almost. And so you would take pictures of yourself while on your date, and then you would write about your date. That's sounding familiar.
This one did not have, like, the journal. It is just the scratch off adventures. The mini dates. Yeah. The one we got is just the adventures, not the journal.
Says there's minimal supplies needed. I did open it. I took it out of the packaging, and then there was, like, some instructions inside. Yeah. But then I stopped because I went, this feels almost like Yeah.
Something that we should do together. Opened it. I don't know. Not with you. You were not with me.
Right. That's why I put it away because I went I think this is something we should do together. Yeah. I agree. Let's, do this.
How about Okay. Okay. There are 4 categories. Uh-huh. I don't know what the categories are.
There's a foodie. There's a TV. So that's like eating. That's watching a show or movie or something. Indoor act outdoor stuff.
Indoor outdoor? Yeah. There's, like, one category for indoor outdoor? I don't think that's a category. I think that's just, I don't know.
I don't know much about it. I know that, like, each card will have a price. So there's a dollar signs. There's 1, 2, or $3 signs, or there's free challenges. And then there's a time of day.
So it indicates what time of day the challenge needs to take place. Sure. And then it tells you if there is supplies needed or if it's indoor or outdoor. I see. Or if it's active, like, put on some sneakers.
This one's gonna be Put on sneakers. What a date. This one's gonna be adventurous. Oh, I that's a preparation thing for the dates. Correct.
I thought that was the date. Put on sneakers. No. That's not. That's what I said.
What have we purchased? What did we what money did we throw down a hole? Hey. No. We didn't.
We're gonna do this. Let's, open it tonight together. Sounds good. Should I put it on the calendars before we forget? How old are we?
Romance is not dead. Hey. Is it on the calendar? Because I'll forget. Come on.
Do you wanna open the date night game before we put in our mouth guards or after? I don't know. I don't know. Hey, Josh. You wanna look at the date?
Let let's look at the date. That's oh, man. Romance. We are cool. Yeah.
You're supposed to keep track of the 5. The time has been kept. This is your job. Time is a construct. K.
Listen. What? What's up? I was taking a shower the other day. We have 2 showers in our house.
Upstairs downstairs. You tend to use the downstairs one more. I tend to use the upstairs one one. Be because of a couple reasons. One, the upstairs one is a tub, and I don't, the downstairs one's a walk in.
Okay. So I I like that better. I don't like the slipperiness of the tub. I don't like that you are in the slippery tub. We need to have some grip on the bottom of the tub.
It gets a little sketchy. I know. I don't care for it. I don't I don't like standing in there, and then when I when I'm soaked up and I'm washing my feet and I'm slip sliding away, I don't care for it at all. I don't like it.
I also that that feels like to me, for some reason, that bathroom, where it's located in the house so close to the bedrooms and stuff, we don't have a huge house. There's not there's nowhere else it could be. Right. I just don't like how close to everybody it's located. I like the the basement bathroom for the Isolation?
The separation from day to day activity. But it also feels like that bathroom is like, should be a half bath, honestly. The upstairs one? If it was a half bath because it just feels like this is where That's so funny. It's a bathroom.
Like, that's I don't like to shower in there. I don't like I don't take a bath. I I don't like exactly the reasons that I like it, though. I like that it's a centralized location. I like when I take a bath.
I can still hear what's going on inside the house. No. I like taking a shower in there. And if I need somebody to bring me some soap, everyone's Help. Help.
Help. I forgot to tell. Help. That's all we hear. I know.
And then we go, what does she need? Okay. Listen. I I took a shower yesterday, and I noticed that the drain has got a lot of hair buildup. The tub drain?
The tub drain. It's not for me. That's what I said. I said to myself, oh, that needs cleaned out. I I better tell Josh.
And then I went, no. No. Josh never uses the shower. This is my hair. Right.
This is should probably be I mean, really, you and Beck take control of the downstairs bathroom. Right. It it really is a boys, girls bathroom situation. And since we don't have a master bath, it really is me and Emery's hair Right. Clogging that drain.
Now if we had a master bath, I would build it with a with a big tub, like, either a claw foot or a garden tub or something. Uh-huh. And then it would have a walk in shower and have both. Okay. We don't have that.
I'm just saying that if if we did, I would have both so that the one bathroom could be used by both of those. That's correct. And then I would feel if it was attached to the bedroom and not the rest of the house, I would a completely different situation. I would definitely shower upstairs. We don't have that.
I don't like the upstairs shower in the tub situation. I didn't know that about you. Yeah. Well, I don't like it. I don't like the porcelain on my feet.
Well, here's the thing. I I gotta clean out that tub. Awesome. And I know that it's my job. Like, I am I'm taking full responsibility for it.
I'm not asking you to do it. The tools? I don't know. That's what I'm asking. What kind of tools do I need?
Well, it depends on how badly clogged it is, but you should remove the hair from the drain. Yeah. I know. And it doesn't work like a sink. It probably could because I know where the drain comes out downstairs.
That, like, chain thing. Right? The chain It's not a chain. Snake. It's snake.
Yeah. You need you need the the drain snake. Dip it down there, and it wraps all the hair up. And then Yeah. I'm not looking forward to it, but I know it needs to be done.
I'm taking full responsibility for it. I just wanna say that out loud. Do you know where the drain snake lives? Actually, I do. Do you?
Yes. It's on your workbench in the garage, but I know that we also have a smaller one. We do. Yeah. I don't know what to do.
It's all to the bathroom sink where all the other hair gets clogged up. And that one just looks like a little pull start. It's a little short plastic one. Yeah. Try that first.
K. If that doesn't get the job done, go to the garage and get the big snake. Try your little as seen on TV drain snake. And if it works, cool. Great.
If it doesn't, get serious. I will get serious. You know why? It's my responsibility, and I am a fierce independent woman. I think it's great to take the the the, like, I wanna fix this thing.
I think it's great. I don't necessarily wanna fix it, but it needs to be fixed. Yeah. And I know that I'm the one responsible for the damage part of the damage. Mhmm.
Since you never used that, I mean, it really is me and Emery that use that shower. So Plus I'm a bald man, So there's that. Fair. So even if it was any other drain, it's not my hair that's clogging it up. Fair.
So I told you. I've come. I know it's me. No. I'm excited for you.
I've I've been full support of you figuring this out. I'm super excited. Let me know how I can where I can stand to observe. No. I'm gonna do it with you not around.
Really? Yeah. Because then you're just gonna I'm not gonna judge your technique. Mansplain everything. Absolutely not.
I don't do that. Kinda. No. Kinda. Kinda.
If you could think about anything about me Oh, I could think about anything. About me Uh-huh. That you know to be true Mhmm. Involving food Oh. What do you think it would be?
If I could think of anything about you about food Uh-huh. That you might like or I would say, you're a grazer. Okay. I would say that, you have a sweet tooth. Okay.
I would say, you're limited on self control with most snacky type foods. I would say and these are kind things. I'm not being rude. I'm just I'm just saying the things out loud that I know about you, about food. You like food?

What should I put? Alright. Yeah. I'm gonna write a thing. I want them to know I'm serious about cooking these snacks.
I'm serious about cooking these snacks. I'm also in need of $1,000. So I'm gonna work out a little bit of a paragraph. But, no, it's real easy to sign up. All I did to find the page, by the way, because it's on finance buzz.com, all I did was, just Googled what you said, that sideline sampler side hustle.

And you're gonna get hers on the snacking end. Yeah. Yeah. And I'll rate it based on how much self control I have upon eating it. I see.
Like, I could I could absolutely eat the whole bucket of this dip. Yeah. Right. That's how good it is. Pass.
Yeah. I ate 1, and then I was done. Maybe you could do it all in football terms. You'd be like, that's a fumble. But that right there is a 2 point conversion success.
You know what I mean? I do because I know about football. Yeah. I know that about you. Cute.
Cute. That's another thing you could say. I'm a new football fan, and, unfortunately, my Vikings didn't make it. And I don't have a lot to look forward to to this year's game, so maybe this is what I've got. I'm an emotional eater.
There it is. There it is. Would you rather this or that? Are you ready? I guess so.
Yeah. Would you rather live on a cloud or in an underwater bubble? Uh-uh. Bummer. What what you say bummer?
You don't like either option? Well, not so much. Why not? These both sound amazing. Because of the heights and the drowning.
You're not gonna drown. You're in a bubble. Until? It's not gonna pop, and you're not gonna fall off the cloud. These are my rules.
I make them up. These are the rules. What are you picking? I'm gonna pick the underwater bubble because Nicole, I was you're so fascinated by underwater. Going on underwater?
Yeah. I wanna see all of the That's what's going on. Mm-mm. And the deeper you go, the darker it gets. So you better be able to see you better have some lights.
And my bubbles better be shatterproof. Yeah. You're gonna have to have a special magic bubble. It is a magic bubble. And then it's a magic cloud.
Yes. Exactly. I don't Go in the water bubble. The underwater stuff. Then don't pick that one.
I also don't wanna be up there in the sky, in the clouds. Well, it's a tricky one for you then, isn't it? Yeah. Because both sound uncomfortable. Well, they both are gonna be uncomfortable, but also amazing.
Yeah. Let's say not live. Let's say maybe take a visit for a week. A week? You're in a week on a cloud or a week in an underwater bubble.
Bubble. Well, I'll take cloud just for the sake of taking the other one, but I'm not excited about it. But you could see all of the things on the clouds. What? Birds.
It's colder up there. It is gonna be cold. Wind up there. Yeah. It's gonna be cold and windy.
You're right. But that's what you picked, so that's how you gotta live with. Oh, it's not gonna be warm in your bubble. It is. No.
There's heat in it. No. There's not. No. It's ab bubble.
That's it. There's you gotta live in a week in that. No food. Just you and your bubble for a week. Okay.
Fine. Great. This is not a problem. Great. Good for you.
Wonderful. I hope you enjoy your cloud. I will. Why are you so grouchy about it? I don't know.
There's no reason to be grouchy about it. I just I just am. Okay. It's a bit disturbing, this news. And then I remembered that, just yesterday, this news was affecting our own home.
Uh-oh. And I thought to myself, we've gotta we gotta do better. What's what's going on? So Gen z, which is, what? Like, these the not the current generation.
This is like our kids. Yeah. Right? As a generation, they, know a bunch about technology, and this is very generalized. I will say that.
This news is very broad, and they didn't talk to every single Gen z person. So take this news with a grain of salt, but what they have found out is that Gen z is really struggling in the kitchen. Oh my gosh. You guys It's struggling in the kitchen. Such a long time to get there.
It's kitchen struggles. Bro. Bro. It's kitchen struggles. Oh, no.
That's not true for our daughter. I said, I found out that this affected our house yesterday when when one of the 2 kids said, what's for dinner? When the oldest of the 2 kids. And then did not solve the problem. No.
But here's the deal. So there was a survey done, and they found out that, young adults between the ages of 18 28 specifically Okay. Prefer eating at restaurants or ordering delivery because they don't know how to cook. Oh, no. And so, here are the the reasons why.
They said cooking is stressful. They said specifically, let's talk about meals. Can you make soup? A fourth of them were like, no. I don't know how to make soup.
Now is that opening a can and putting it in a pot and heating it up making soup, or is that making soup from scratch? They didn't specify. But if when asked, do you know how to make soup? A quarter of them struggled Oh, no. To make soup.
Oh, no. Could you cook a stir fry? Nearly half said no. Oh, no. This is what I'm saying.
How about an omelet? But an omelet is An omelet takes a little bit of finesse. That's a little tricky one. Scrambled eggs? That should problem for 60% of people that responded.
Okay. Scrambled eggs is one of the easiest things to call. Easy. It's super easy. Almost all respondents said that they didn't even know where to start when they were asked to make something more complex like lasagna or a roasted chicken.
I don't know where it's no idea where I'd start. Start on step 1 because guess what? There's recipes I know. And then you just follow the instructions. The end.
Yep. The end of, steps, guys. 1 in 4 admitted to passing off takeout food as a home cooked meal. Oh, no. Hey.
You gotta do what you gotta you gotta eat. Yeah. Right? So, what they found out is that gen x is the most confident in the kitchen, and that is very interesting because we grew up cooking everything for ourselves and our siblings, and that is why. We know how to make food because well, for 1, all the food came in a box.
Yes. That's true. You had fresh ingredients that you had to cook along with the hamburger helper and the mac and cheese. I also here's the thing that I've noticed about our kids. We didn't eat out very much when I was younger.
Like Correct. Rarely we ate out. Absolutely correct. If your parents were working and they said, I don't what's for dinner? And they said, I don't know.
Figure something out. And you're on your own. You got real crafty in the kitchen with your tortilla cheese, whatever you were gonna do. Right. Like, you got creative with whatever you could find in the kitchen because that was the only option you had.
That's correct. Our kids do not know how to do that. I know. Yeah. Like, I can I could there there have been many times where it's been like, I don't wanna go to the store?
We have food in the house. I'm just gonna figure out what to make based on the ingredients that I have, and I'll figure out some of my food together. So so that is, you know, that's not a problem for me. Where did Gen z learn to cook? Where did their skills from come from?
Overwhelmingly, they learned cooking skills from their parents. So what I'm saying is, we haven't sent the elevator back down Oh, no. So well. We haven't spent the time in the kitchen teaching the skills for the these new generations to learn how to be But here's self sufficient in the kitchen. Know how to cook.
One of them is just lazy and doesn't want to. The other one really enjoys cooking. And Sure. So last night, she made fettuccine Right. And it was delicious.
Right. But the other one is just lazy. Well, there's that. But But also doesn't enjoy cooking. But Does not enjoy it.
I don't enjoy it either. He's not lazy. That was a mean thing. No. I understand.
He's not lazy. He works hard. He just hates cooking. He just hates cooking. And I'm with him.
And so he would rather in in the in the way not yeah. And you're not saying as a as a person he's lazy, but as a a cook, he would rather just order something or go grab something than cook. That's what you mean? Yeah. Yes.
Right. And that's and that's the generalization that is being painted for that generation. Is there that it's just way more convenient to just go get something. It's quick. It's hot.
It's a meal, and I can move on with whatever else I've got going in my life. And I get that, But I also love the kitchen. I do not. I like the kitchen. I like to eat in the kitchen.
That's what I like to do there. Yeah? Yep. That's what happens in there once the food's ready. Anyway, that's gonna wrap up the show.
