Full show transcript:
This is wake up classy 97, the podcast, and it's a replay of today's full show in, well, probably a little more than an hour today. It's Thursday, January 9th. On today's show, people are actually paying to get shocked with electricity while they work out. What do you think? You wanna do it?
Nope. I don't. Why? I don't wanna get shocked. Thanks.
No. It's not like electrical shock. It's just that muscle flexing thing while you do it. You only gotta do it for 10 to 20 minutes. Telephobia is real, and there's a class to help you get over it.
Call me. I'll tell you all about it. Do you like plogging? I it's, sure. I'd give it a go.
You wanna give it a go? Yeah. I can. You're gonna jog with garbage bags? Mine will probably be plocking.
What's that? Walking? Yeah. I see. Not jogging.
I see. Plocking. I'm a big scooper, I've, been told. You all all morning have been saying you're a big dipper, which is not what I said once. I never said you were a big dipper because if you were a dipper It would be a whole different relationship that we have.
That's right. That's right. I would have a different relationship with appetizers. That's for sure. We revisit some childhood memories through a theme song.
Danch Cares Away. There are a bunch of different kinds of sanders, and you can write on some of them. What what are the different kinds of sanders? Belt sander, pocket sander No. Jigsaw, sander Nope.
Belt sander? That's the one you said first. That's the only one you've listed. Anyway, yeah, we'll talk about riding belt sandals. I wanna ride some.
Our daughter is gentle training our dog. It's going well. Yeah. Oh, boy. We've got to change the name of ranch soup.
Isn't that gross? Ugh. It's for slurping. No. It's not.
I Size Baby and You Spin Me Round, Right Round like a Record, Baby, were huge hits for us as kids. What else? Oh, it's not all bad being bald. Most of it is, though. It's fine.
It's fine. I'll be fine. Don't worry about me. I'm just bald. I'll be fine.
No one's worried. Rolling Stone's top 50 video games of all time is a lame list. It's a dumb list. I don't agree, and, Rolling Stone should stick to music. Wow.
That's my take. And Wicked is still king of my algorithms. Yay for you. Thanks for checking out the show. We hope you'll subscribe wherever you're listening, and, as always, rate the show.

Oh, it's morning again. Here we are. Did you know it? I know it. I was yeah.
I've been moving slow this morning. Yeah. It's a little, little muddy in my movement. Yeah. It's a a slow one.
It's alright, though. Here we are. Here we are doing it. We're doing the thing. The other day went to the gym.
I did. Have you been back? And I'm not being judgy. I'm just asking because I need judgy. I need the segue.
So go on. I have not, but that's because Because you don't have a workout that you really enjoy. And here's the one that you might be able to plug in that you do. That wasn't it. Oh.
But yes. I mean, that's true, but I've had other things occupy my evenings the last two nights. I see. So Well, maybe you would like this workout, and you'd be able to prioritize it a little bit more. Tell me what it is.
Called, EMS Fitness. Okay. Electrical Muscle Stimulation Fitness. So, essentially, you're gonna hook up those electrodes on your body, on the muscles you're working so that while you're working out, you're getting that electrical signal in there as well. EMS, fitness.
No. I'm not gonna do that. I already feel self conscious at the gym. I'm not gonna put a bunch of electrodes on my body. No.
No way. Why? I just told you. I just told you why. You know the ones that make your arm, like Yeah.
All your muscles flex? It's those, but you do that while you're lifting heavy stuff. That sounds safe. Yeah. It sounds very unsafe, and, also, I'm not gonna do that in front of people.
So people can say, who's this woman? She doesn't know how to work out. There are, special special places that offer this as a workout. It's a 10 to 20 minute workout because your body probably can't take much more of that. Yeah.
Experts are saying you will see really serious results in as few as 8 sessions. Serious results in 8 sessions. What does serious results mean? I don't know. But each session can cost as much as $200.
Get out of here. So 8 sessions, you're at $1600. Get out of here. But serious results Serious results in your bank account. Well, yeah, but also in your physique.
I need to see some serious results in my physique. You're gonna get shocked while you pump that iron. That's what it says. I'm looking to see if there's any results. Oh, here's what they say.
Some celebs do it. Oh, cool. Tom Holland does it. Who else is in on this? If you tell me celebrities that do it, that's not gonna make me wanna do it more.
Chrissy Teigen does it. Kylie Jenner's into it. I'll do nothing that they do. So that's not helpful. Well I'm pray listen.
This is interesting. You it's not exactly what you thought. I thought that I thought that you'd have all these wires and little things hooked to you while you're trying to do a workout. It's actually, a vest and and shorts that have all the electrodes in it. So you aren't you're you're kind of free to move about.
It's doing the same thing, but you don't have to worry about stuff stuck to you. It's kind of pressed against you in this vest and shorts. Again, I'm not gonna I'm not interested. No? Mm-mm.
It looks like a pretty good workout. You do it. I might. I've been to the gym. How many times have you been to the gym?
I'm not judging. Woah. Woah. It felt a little bit like you were, but okay. Maybe you weren't.
I felt like I was being challenged and a little bit judged. No. No. No. If you say you weren't, I'll I'll believe you.
When you were a kid living at home and your parents said, hey. Why don't you call an order of pizza? What did you do? I probably called and ordered a pizza, but I don't know that I ever I'm I'm trying to remember if I ever did or if it was the parents who ordered the pizza. I don't know.
Oh. I'm I'm sure I ordered pizza at some point. Some I mean, there were times when my parents would say, hey. Why don't you call and order a pizza? And all 3 of us, me, my brother, and my sister would panic.
No. I'm not gonna do it. You do it. Wrong. No.
I'm not gonna do it. You do it. We just hated talking on the phone. It's scary. In the nineties?
Yes. That's how you talked. I know, but not to, not to strangers. Oh, I don't. I Not to order a pizza.
I don't care about that. There That doesn't faze me. There is a thing that's that kids are experiencing these days in big numbers called telephobia. And it is I'm sure of it. Young people that are afraid to talk on the phone.
Afraid, entirely afraid to talk on the phone. And you've been dealing with this for, 30 some odd years. Well, I'm not I'm not now afraid to talk on the phone. Yes. You are.
No. No. I'm not Not not in fear, but you would way prefer to text or do anything other than talk on the phone. Yes. So I just don't enjoy talking on the phone.
I never have. I I don't mind it. But I'm not afraid of it. I'll talk to you on the phone. If your phone rings, do you run away from it like you do with the doorbell?
No. I don't. I do go Mhmm. Why don't you just text me instead? Okay.
But listen. There is a college in England that is offering classes on how to make phone calls. Yeah. Makes sense. They are focusing on phone etiquette Yeah.
And phone confidence. Okay. They have homework, and the homework includes calling restaurants to ask what time they close instead of the students googling it. They also have to call easy phone call. Right?
They also have to call stores and ask if something is in stock. It may be easy for you, Josh, but it is not easy for understand. For people who are afraid of talking on the phone. A lot of the kids say, I don't it's hard for me to talk on the phone because you have to talk off the cuff. Yeah.
Texting is easier because you can think about the right way to approach someone, and you have a minute to think about your response to somebody rather than I mean, talking on the phone is kind of just improv, isn't it? You have to I bet I guess that's true with talking to people in person too. You and I talking is brand new conversation. We don't write down No. And then she said and then I said and then she said and then I said.
That's what conversation is. I suppose. Right? It's just talking to somebody. And it might be somebody you don't know, but it's just talking to somebody.
It that's really interesting to me. I I can understand why in a world in the world we live in now, people don't have to make a phone call in order to communicate. You don't have to talk to a human being at all to have groceries or food or pizza. Now you can just order your pizza online. You don't even have to call to order the pizza.
Contactless delivery Yeah. And everything else. You don't have to talk to somebody to survive in the world today, and that's not the case in the nineties. You kinda had to talk to somebody to get stuff done. And so I don't know.
I I maybe I am weird, but it doesn't bother me at all. It doesn't bother me. I will I would prefer to call someone and have a conversation than to text because I I can get a faster answer. I can, nothing gets lost in the context of text versus what you wrote and what I read. I I will have a 5 minute phone call before I'll have a 20 minute text session.
That's it. Well, good for you. I'm not I mean, yeah, good for me, but I, like, I understand people have preference. That's mine. There is a an instructor who is trying to teach these kids and said, hey.
I used to have telephobia too, but I learned you have to know what you're going to say before you start the call. You can't just, I mean, it helps to just know what you're gonna say. I do Well, sure. Remember, my first real, real job. I had to make phone calls in a work setting, and that made me very, very nervous.
And so I would write down what I was gonna say to help ease the transition of what I was gonna say. And that helped. It did. I know when I started in radio, it was a big deal to write down what I want to say and to really give thought to every time I was gonna open the microphone what was gonna come out of my mouth and and to be able to try and put together a good sentence that was going to be, you know, thought out. Or if I had a funny joke I wanted to put into something, I wanted to make sure I knew I said I did that.
I don't do that anymore. Now it's all off the cuff. Now it's all Maybe you should write it down. Real time. What?
Nah. This is what it's way more fun to wing it. Just see what happens. See what happens. Stop.
We're gonna talk about something, and then, it might make a weird bird noise. You know? You just never know. We're winging it. That was a chicken?
Yeah. Kaka, said the chicken. Do I need to get you one of those, one of those big plastic toys with the arrow in the middle and the handle you pull down? Like A see and say. Slot machine?
Yeah. See and say. The chicken says you've heard of yogging? No. Oh, jogging, it's pronounced.
I forgot where we lived. What? It's a new year. Yeah. Looking for new ways to work out?
Here's another one in good news to get you going. It's called clogging. Plogging? Yep. Not clogging.
No. Plogging. Not jogging. That's right. Plogging.
I'm trying to think of another, ogging. It's logging. It's not that either. It's clogging. Gotcha.
What's plogging? It's the blend of jogging and picking up litter, which is good news. Ploggers compete by running the farthest and collecting the most junk along the way. Started in 2016, almost 10 years ago in Sweden, It is now an eco friendly fitness trend that has got a global movement behind it. There's actually a clogging championship each year.
Oh, no. Last year's championship featured runners removing about £66100 of litter, from the streets in, Italy, where this where this was held. Organizers say that an estimated 2,000,000 people plog regularly over a 100 countries. Do they carry some kind of garbage receptacle on them while they're jogging? It's gonna depend on where you're clogging at.
But if you if you go clogging in a real messy area, I think you're gonna end up doing more litter pickup than jogging. So I think the concept is that you go just somewhere urban and you are running, and as you pass things, you pick it up. I you probably have some sort of bag. That's what I'm asking. You'd have to.
You'd have to have probably not a big bag. Belts, right, with the little garbage sack attached to you, and then you just bloop, and you keep going. I'll see if I can find out more information about that. But environmental groups are all into it. Do they have one of those little snatchers?
Like, the little claw things where you pick it up? Yeah. I'll look into it. Or a pokey thing like the Yogi Bear team. I'll look into it.
1st, you pick it up, then you put it in. Boom. Boom. You know? Yogi Bear wasn't in that, but I don't know what you're talking about.
Okay. Yeah. The plugging community is, is growing and inspiring others to lace up their running shoes and join the clogging revolution. They're carrying, bindles. I don't know what that is.
Yeah. That's a word we learned. Bag on a stick. Oh. They're actually carrying giant garbage bags while they're running.
Okay. I'm looking at it. Even kidding. I'm looking it up. Plogging.
Do you like plogging? Yeah. Are you part of the plogging community? I'm not. But Okay.
Yeah. They they do some garbage bags. Big bags. So good for those guys. Anyway, plugging, all the rage.
I'm in support. I think it's great. All the rage. Yeah. You're getting some fitness.
You're getting your heart pumping, and you're also doing good for the environment. That's right. Nothing wrong with that. And you're trying to see if you can fit this garbage in your fitness routine. Fitting this garbage.
And you you get it. I It's good news to get you going. I'm trying to eat more vegetables. Yes. So I've been packing vegetables for lunch.
Yeah. I got I got red peppers. I got cucumbers. Delicious. And I've got Delicious.
Broccoli. Delicious. I also pack some hummus that I can dip my vegetables into. You're dipping your vegetables in vegetables. Yeah.
I know. Okay. Double vegetables. Right. Double the fun, as they say.
Is that I've never heard that. Oh, it's I've never heard people go, oh, veggies? So much fun. A 2 veggies? Double the fun.
Here's what happened yesterday. I don't mind eating the cucumbers and the red peppers without the hummus. I don't like to eat broccoli by itself unless it's cooked. I like cooked broccoli. I don't like raw broccoli.
Broccoli. So yesterday, when I had packed my lunch, the broccoli was at the bottom of the container. So it was last. So by the time I got to the broccoli, all my hummus had been consumed. Well, that is a bad rationing hummus.
The problem. So then I had to I was scraping Trying to get just a little bit of hummus, just a little, like, flavor, a little bit of hummus? Yeah. So Uh-huh. It was very sad.
But then I said, I'm gonna turn this into a lesson. You need to pack more hummus? No. You need to pack your broccoli on top? Pack my broccoli on top so that I can eat that first I see.
With the hummus. That makes sense. And then by the time the broccoli's done, hummus is gone. Yeah. I'm like, oh, all I have left are cucumbers.
Great. I can eat cucumbers by themselves. Lesson learned. And so today? Today, my broccoli is on top.
Excellent. I I still think it's interesting that we we as a people drag vegetables through pureed vegetables. Twice the fun. You drag? Do you drag?
I guess I do drag. No. You scoop. You're a scooper. I am a scooper.
That's why it's hard to share chips and salsa with you. Why? I like it. I like sharing chips and salsa with you, but you're a scooper. Most people scoop their salsa.
I How do you eat their salsa? But but, but it's hard to share because proportions. What are you saying? I'm saying That I ate too much? Saying no.
I'm saying you eat more than I do because watch it. Because you're a scooper. I didn't say you eat too much. I would never. You're supposed to scoop yourself.
I don't understand. I don't. What do you do? You're a a big scooper, I should say. This is why you ran out of hummus.
Because when you have a carrot, you might overdo it with the amount of hummus that you put on your carrot. Okay. I'm not disagreeing with you. I think you're on on brand. That's on brand with me.
I just when we go and get chips and salsa, I just wish they'd bring enough salsa for everybody. That's all. Bring 2 salsas, and maybe you can have your own, and I'll have my own. And I will consume more chips to salsa than you will. Okay.
But how do you eat your salsa? A smaller scoop. And, also, beans. You know? What about beans?
Everybody should serve warm beans with the salsa as well. Beans? Yeah. You get a sometimes with your meal. So I understand.
You can wait until you get the beans with your meal. There's no chips left by the time your meal comes out. Can order more chips. And I will be done with half my meal or more before that that second basket of chips shows up. That's the way it works.
More chips, more salsa, plus beans. More salsa Better. I don't wanna share with Chantel is what you're gonna say. I I'm happy to share with you. I pref would prefer to have my own container of it.
That's that's What if you were eating with somebody else? You're fine sharing a salsa with them? I don't know. It depends on how they scoop. Are they a big scooper?
I'm not as big as me, apparently. I'm the biggest never said that. The biggest scooper you have. Also never said that. You did.
You didn't say it out loud, but you were thinking it. Nope. Man. That's not how it works. Wife of mine, what a scooper.
She's the biggest scooper I know. That's what you said. It's true. Ouch. I can't even I don't know.
I I'm trying to think if I've seen bigger scoopers. You have to stop talking right now. You have to stop. We're going along with what you said. You said it.
I'm just agreeing. You're in trouble. Am I? Yeah. Dog house style?
What's what's going on? We're fighting. Oh, no. Don't call me a big scooper, Josh. That's so mean.
Now I'll never now I'll never be able to eat normal with you again. What does that even mean? Eat normal. Like, we're gonna go get chips and salsa, and you're not gonna just do what you normally do. Yeah.
I probably am. Yeah. You're a big scooper. It's fine. So there we were last night.
We were doing some bowling. That's right. We'll give you a full recap of the Josh Chantel date night tomorrow. But, but, yeah, we were bowling last night. Had some music playing, some fun upbeat music to keep the bowling party going.
Sure. And then a song came on, and I went, oh, I haven't heard this song in so long. And it almost made me tear up a little bit because I got real sad. Do you want me to play the song? Well, it's not even a sad song, but yes.
Go ahead. The song is, is just that. On vacation, and the school comes along just to end it. Yeah. So the annual problem for This along just to end it.
Yeah. This is the Phineas and Ferb theme song. Yeah. It's it it like, you're in the middle of doing something completely unrelated, and here comes the Phineas and Ferb theme song. Yes.
And and, I mean, they just played it out of nowhere. But, our son specifically, but our kids watched Phineas and Ferb, and it was on a lot. Pretty regularly. Yeah. And so that song became pretty regular in our house for years.
Mhmm. And to hear it after not hearing it for so long, I went, oh, no. That makes me sad. It's a great song. It is a great song, but it just was one of those jilting moments as a parent where you go, I like my kids.
I like my kids being old. I like the fact that they're old and they're growing, and I I never ever have wanted to take for granted their different age things. So I've learned to appreciate the different ages that they go through, and that hit me. Just hearing that song that they used to listen to on repeat and then just having a moment of what? I don't know.
A moment of nostalgia? What does this one do? Hi. Oh. Hi, My name is Tyrell.
Hi, Hi, Hi, Hi, Iniqua. I hash mine That's going great. I know. Let's go. Oh.
Alright. Backyard again. I love the backyard again. Huge. And then, there's more.
Beck loved the backyardigans. Correct. Emery loved Dora. And? Bubble puppies.
Yeah. Bubble. What time is it? It's time for lunch. There's so many.
No. Oh, no. Makes me miss my little kids. Little kids little kids stuff, was everywhere. There was stuff everywhere, like toys and theme stuff and music and noise and just stuff.
Now we have old kids, and it's different stuff. There's stuff around, but it's not that kind of stuff. Not that kind of stuff. That's not that's not fair of that establishment to hit my feels unexpectedly like that. Just dropping fair.
No. The nostalgia. One more because I wanna see what, what this does. There's a couple of these, but let's see what what this one does. I gotta wait for this ad.
Okay. I was gonna say, is backyard again still on the end? I don't know. I don't think so, but, oh, I love that show so much. This is Fraggle Rock.
That's right. It was bringing your own childhood back. Oh, man. I love Fraggle Rock. It's so good.
It was the best. They revamped it, didn't they? That sounds about right. Fraggle Rock? Yeah.
They revamped it? Oh. You're saying that's about right? I said that sounds about it sounds right. What is?
Fraggle Rock being revamped. Yeah. It was called, Back to the Rock. Yeah. Yeah.
But it was just a movie. It wasn't like a series, it looks like. Oh, man. We had listen to this. Okay.
So the in Fraggle Rock, there were what were those things called that lived in their backyard? The Gorgs? Sure. They were mean, and they were always trying to kill the Fraggles. There was the the mom gorg looked like a lady that we went to church.
No. No way. I'm I'm giving you a pass because you were a little kid. It was actually my sister who said it. Oh, good.
Yeah. Throw her under the bus. That lady look like that mom gore, and then we couldn't unsee it. Well But you're right. I was a little kid.
I'm giving you a pass because you were a little kid. That wasn't mean. It was just an observation. She was a little late. Kid's eyes.
We liked her. That's okay. Just happened to look like a gorg. Well, that is, great for her. That is that is good for her.
Okay. Listen. There was a Fraggle Rock who was a chef. K. Or there was an episode where he was cooking.
Okay. And he broke his arm, and no one would help him cook the meal. And I used to be so sad in that episode because I'd be like, why doesn't anybody help him cook? He's got a broken arm. Cool.
Shut. All I did was play a theme song, and then immediately you're like, I was sad for him. I'm still sad for him. I am still sad for him. I hope someone eventually came to his aid.
I'm sure by the end of the episode, everything worked out. I don't know. I'll have to go find that episode. Alright. Enjoy.
I saw this video yesterday, and I went, is this a thing? This sure is a thing. This is a thing that happens in Pennsylvania, but it could happen anywhere as long as you have a belt sander. Oh, alright. Hold on.
Let's let's try to guess. What happens in Pennsylvania every year? It happens every year. So it's an annual event Uh-huh. In Pennsylvania.
Where in Pennsylvania? In Reading, Pennsylvania. Or Reading, one or the other. Sometimes they pronounce it. But but the point is somewhere in, in Pennsylvania, they are doing, something annually with belt sanders.
Yes. Now a belt sander, is that a stand up or a handheld? A it's a I think it's a handheld. K. What was So I'm thinking there's a there's a race involved.
It feels like there's a race. Mhmm. Now are they just racing sanders, or are they is there more to it than that? Well, it's a belt sander race. K.
And there are people that sit on the belt sander. Right. And there is a person who runs alongside with the cord because they have to be plugged in. Sure. And so they run alongside with the cord while their partner is riding on top of the sander.
Uh-huh. And they race. You have no steering. No. No.
None at all. I wonder if you lean your body weight, if you can make it turn a little bit. Alright. So the belt sander race is a thing. And it looks like I'm watching a video.
In the video I saw yesterday, I went, is this a thing? Some people are using their feet to help kinda shuffle them along. Uh-huh. Some of them are just going for the ride. There is a part of me that thinks I wanna try it.
Oh, they are a lot faster than I expected. I was gonna ask, how much do you think a belt sander would go? How quick do you think that is? How many miles per hour? Maybe 10.
65 tops. No. 10. Maybe 10. A lot faster than I expected.
Is quite a bit. I really did not expect them to move as quickly as they're moving. They are moving quick. My favorite part is the the partner that's running alongside okay. Every video I see is the woman riding the belt sander, and then her husband is running alongside with the power cord.
Okay. It makes me laugh to watch the husband running alongside with the You gotta keep up. They're quick. Interesting. Is this something you'd want to try?
Maybe. I don't own a belt sander. You don't. I do. No.
You don't. Yes. I do. No. You don't.
Yes. I do. No. You don't. You do not own a belt sander.
What do I own? I own something that sands. That's true. What is it? You have, the, the little mouse one that's a little triangle.
Yeah. You can't write that. And you have an orbital sander, which is the circular one. Yeah. You can't write those.
No. I know. It's because they're not they're really small for 1. They fit in the palm of your hand. A belt sander is quite quite a bit larger.
It is quite a bit larger. But both of those are detail sanders you that you have. Yeah. They're small detail sanders for, you know, doing crafts and things. The belt sander is something else.
What do you use the belt sander for? Serious sander. Serious. Yeah. What do we know anybody who owns a belt sander?
Sure. Do you think they would let us take a ride on it? No. Why? Because they like that they own a belt sander, and they don't want someone riding it.
I'm watching a bunch of different videos. This happens in more than more places than just Well, that's what I'm saying. I'm sure it happens in more places than just Pennsylvania. I said when I started this story, I said, this can happen anywhere as long as you have a belt sander and a track. It's true.
They've also, mounted a seat. Like, a it's a small block of wood, but they've modified the belt sanders to have a place for you to sit. Okay. There are also, belt sander races where you don't ride it and the sander just races. Yeah.
I've seen those too. That's not as fun. No. Not that's not as fun to watch either. But I think this looks like a a hoot of a time.
Does it? Yeah. A hoot. Maybe. Okay.
How much is a belt sander? Well, depends on the brand. It looks like a lot of guys are are running the Makita. Okay. These are only you can get you can get one for about $60.
No. No? No. I don't know what you're looking at. Look up the Makita 9403.
That's what they're running. Makita? Makita, m a k I t a. Get with your tool brands, man. Makita 9403 belt sander.
Oh, man. Yeah. That's $400. I thought they were gonna be cheaper. I just want one.
Like, we can use it with our friends and family when we go hang out, and then we can just use it for funsies. No. No. No. I bet we could find one for cheaper than that.
Sure. Check the marketplace. What a time. That would be so much fun. You think?
Yes. I'm all in. Okay. Good for you. Will you run alongside with the power cord?
Maybe. I need somebody to do that. I can't run 10 miles per hour. It's gotta be a short track. It will be a short track.
How how long do you want the track to be? Gonna be able to balance on this thing? Yes. You're such a fun ruiner. No way.
I'm all about fun. I just if I'm gonna spend $400 on a belt sander, I wanna use it as a belt sander, not just a scoot along. You know? That's all. Fun ruiner.
Okay. Okay. Sorry. I just had a weird thing happen. What was it?
Oh, strange. I was, trying to scroll up on the computer, and for some reason, the hyphen button, the little dash Mhmm. Just kept going Oh, no. Forever. And I'm nothing's pushing a button on the computer.
I have no idea what's happening. And so, anyway, it quit, and I'm okay now. Mhmm. It was it was scary, though. The computer had a mind of its own for a minute.
And I won't say way it's future, isn't it? Sometimes Computer takeover. Computer take that's what it's called. Yeah. The computer takeover.
We have a 2 year old Jack Russell, and that 2 year old Jack Russell is a lot of work. And we've been trying to train that Jack Russell. Emery doesn't like our level of training. Yeah. When you try to sort of, Be firm?
Be firm. And and, again, not mean, not aggressive, not certainly, not abusive at all. But when you're firm and you say no, and you have to take that charge, like, I'm being direct and I'm being firm and I'm saying no. That is not okay. She doesn't like that.
She doesn't like it. She thinks we're being too mean. Right. So she's trying gentle training. Yeah.
Right. No. Come on. Every time Come on. Every time we have a hint of a little bit, assertiveness Aw.
We get a Come on. Come on. From our daughter. Mhmm. No?
We're getting we're getting a non gentle parenting from her Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. She can gentle train the dog. No.
That's not okay. You pushed her off the bed the other day, the dog. That was an accident. And you got a look from the daughter. Well yeah.
She did not keep pushing that dog off the bed. That was because she was barking at the TV, which is wild. And so I I kicked my foot, and I didn't know she was as close to the edge as she was, and she fell off. Then she didn't get hurt or anything. No.
It's like a 2 foot, you know, fall to the floor, and she was on her feet, but it was a startling moment. And that was too that was too much for Emeritus. She went, nah. Gentle parenting. Yeah.
That's not the way we treat the dog. Right. And I it wasn't like I flung her across the room. I wonder if the gentle sounds like it was like it was way more No. It was not.
Of an event than it was. She went 2 feet from the bed to the floor. Emery's gentle training isn't doing much. Well, it's not consistent, and it's also not firm. That's true.
So there's that. So the dog is not listening. The dog is paying no mind. But she is very much like, can I have a treat? That's how the dog works.
Could I have a treat, though? Because I like those. I like peanut butter. I don't like doing what I'm told, but I do love treats. Do like having a treat.
Mhmm. And that is how it's going with the 2 year old Jack Russell at our house. The gentle gentle training Yeah. Is not going well. Firm, child to parent, discussion, coaching, whatever that is Yeah.
She and then gentle training. Yeah. She's gentle with the dog. She's not gentle with the bears. Yeah.
Come on, guys. Come on. Come on. Let's try that mouth. Let's let's let's talk about something else.
Let's avert your attention over here. It's not that. It's no, guys. Come on. Come on, dog.
Yeah. Aw. Be nicer to me, daughter. Right. Try some gentle saying.
Gentle childing. Whatever that call. Know what that Yeah. I don't know what that is. Whatever that relationship is, that needs more gentleness.
Yeah. That's what it is. Yeah. Hey. I don't know where my little cheat sheet went.
Here it is. I found it. I saw this question, and I thought it was interesting. And I don't want you to Google it. I just want you to think off the top of your head.
K. What were some of your favorite songs when you were a kid? I really liked, MC Hammer, You Can't Touch This. Oh, nice. That was a big one.
Now when I was a kid define it when I was a kid. Like, let's say 10. Like, about 10 years old. I loved we had a big record player in our living room. Yeah.
I mean, it was a huge like, a piece of furniture because that's what they were back in the day. Yeah. So we had this big With the big lift top. Yep. Yeah.
Sure. Big record player. And one of the records we had was I don't know who's who the artist is, but you spin me right round Mhmm. Baby. And I loved that song.
I used to put that on the record player and dance in the living room for hours. Yeah. You know? I do know. I I had, an a Chipmunks album Ah.
That I listened to, quite a bit, on the record player whenever I could get my parents to put it on. I still own that record. You do? I do. Body shop.
It's in my I I have a lot of the the records I had when I was a kid. I have in my studio. Good job, Josh. Yeah. Good job taking care of your stuff.
Thanks. You're welcome. What else? I'm trying to think. Like, when I was a kid, we're talking the the eighties and and early nineties up to that point.
And so I don't know that, like, between being born in 10, I don't think I had a lot of musical independence. I think I had a lot of whatever my family listened to, whatever my parents listened to. And so I grew up in a house with, with Tom Petty and Queen and Neil Diamond. Ah, sick. And then later on, that turned into, you know, INXS and Genesis and Ace of Base and and that kind of stuff.
And then when I started to form my own musical tastes, grunge was big and alternative stuff was big. And so I really fell into into that stuff pretty hardcore right away. I wasn't big on on much of, like, what would be now the classic rock stuff. I see. The big hair bands and all that kind of stuff.
I was I was into into way different stuff. Well, I yeah. I guess when you're younger, you really just don't have your own musical taste. And so I, being the baby, my brother was into Metallica. Right.
And I was like, yeah. Metal. And my sister was into Madonna and Prince. Uh-huh. And I was like, yeah.
So I kinda had this, like, mixing of worlds. And my parents were older than yours, so we had Elvis and Marty Robbins Right. In my house. So I grew an appreciation of them. Yeah.
I I I did dance to a lot of Technitronic too on the picnic table. Good. Good. Pump up the jam on the picnic table. Come on.
Nothing better than that on a summer's day. That's it's all you need is a boom box man. With pump up the jam going and a picnic table, and you're set for the summer. I did also love, c and c music factory. Okay.
What what song is did they sing? What's their big hit? Gonna make you sweat about sweat. Yeah. Yeah.
That's what I was gonna say. Something about sweat. Gonna make you sweat till you bleed. Oh, yeah. Which sounds awful.
Yeah. That sounds that's too you're working out too hard. You need to take a rest. Have some water. Yeah.
Drink some electrolytes. Yeah. What are you doing? For crying out loud. That's a lot of sweat.
You've run out of water now. Your body is like, I have nothing left to sweat. I guess I'll use this. That's too much sweating. Settle down.
I know the dance club is fire, but woah. Easy. Woah. Woah. Woah.
Easy. Take a take a rest. Woah. Slow down. C and C Music Factory needs to shut down for a day.
Oh, they did. They shut down forever. Oh. They were sweating no more. No more sweat.
Anyway, yeah, a lot of that. And then vanilla Ice was big. Oh, yeah. So I had I had the Ice Ice Baby, and and you can't touch this. I wasn't allowed to own his album because it was explicit.
Oh. Yeah. It did have that parental advisory label on the front. So my mom said, no. Yeah.
And then I And then I got my Columbia House subscription, and then, Dangerous. Then I started collecting CD singles and the Top Gun soundtrack. And There was a Stuff like that. I was I hit a country phase for a while, so I was into country for a minute. There was a guy, a country singer, Clay Walker, that I like to listen to, and he was cute.
And I used to remember, like, listening to his songs. I think one of his lyrics was, if I could make a living out of loving you Oh. I'd be a millionaire in a week or 2. Oh. And I'd be like, that's good, Larry.
Yeah. Yeah. That's good stuff. Yeah. We had Garth Brooks around.
Yeah. Of course, I think every house in the nineties had Garth Brooks around. But that was probably the most of the country exposure that I had. And until later on in in my twenties, the that I had more of a country thing. I did country radio and whatever.
But that was by then, it was Brad Paisley and Keith Hibbett and Keith Hibbett? Yeah. And and, Lone Star and, like, all those dudes. Keith Urban. Yeah.
He's from Australia. Keith Urban. Hi. I'm Keith Urban. Alright.
Bye, Keith Urban. How do you feel about ranch? We've talked about ranch before on this show. I I don't mind ranch. I think it's fine.
I think, you know, it it is what it is. I I think that restaurant ranch is better than grocery store ranch. We were at a a place last night where they were serving pizza. Yeah. I like dipping pizza on ranch.
There was an employee there that had stacks and stacks and stacks of Tupperware, and she was ladling ranch into these Tupperwares. Oh, I didn't see that. Send out with people's pizza. Cool. And I just I I should have got some ranch for the pizza.
I didn't think about that. I don't. I like I like a good homemade ranch, to dip a pizza in. Homemade ranch is good. But Growing up, when they did school lunch and you didn't get the mini chimneys, but dipping the mini chimneys in ranch.
Oh. School lunch so good. Leveling up. That was so good. It's just like a crisp meat burrito, but you dip it in ranch.
I see. Delicious. Jimmy John's is bringing a ranch sauce. It's called kickin' ranch sauce. That sounds good.
Bringing it back in a big way. Well, I saw they changed their logo blue. That was a whole thing that was going around the Internet, and people are like, what does it mean? And then they're like, read. It just means they're bringing ranch.
That's all it was. They are calling this ranch soup. They're calling it soup? Yes. So you can add soup to your sandwich?
Yeah. I guess. Okay. Whenever I go somewhere and I'm like, I would like the soup and sandwich, I really want a bowl of soup. I don't want ranch on my sandwich.
So bad bad idea there. Well, it's that's a confusing idea. You're just being silly calling it a soup, but it is served in a 6 ounce. 6 ounces is pretty big. That's pretty decent.
I mean, if you think 8 ounces is a cup Yeah. It's almost a cup of ranch. A can of soda is 12 ounces. So it's half a can of soda. It's, they're using it they they're calling it used for slurping, sipping, or dipping.
Who's slurping ranch? Who's slurping or sipping? Oh. Here's your soup of ranch. No.
That's all I have to say is no. That's all anybody should be saying. Nobody needs ranch soup. I don't like that. I like dipping, stuff in ranch.
I like putting ranch on a salad. But have you ever slurped it? Let's talk about big dipping. That's you now, isn't it? No.
You're a big dipper when it comes to your ranch. You're a scooper. Do you scoop your sauces? When you have let's let's take, what are they called, mozzarella sticks. I don't really eat those.
Okay. But let's just, for example, talk about all day, it's been about you being a big scooper ever since the very first thing we opened the microphone and talked about. Listen. If you if you take a mozzarella stick, do you dunk it like a normal person, or do you scoop the marinara so you have a glob on the stick? I already know the answer.
I already know that you're a big scooper. And guess what that tells the rest of the table? Well, I guess there's no marinara for me. That's what it says. You're a big scooper, and you know it.
And now now you went, yeah. I would totally do that with a lost real estate because I like sauce. Yeah. Yeah. You're making me sound so selfish.
I'm I don't do it because I'm like, none for anybody else. No. You just do it because you say I want marinara on this thing, so I can't taste it. Yeah. Yeah.
You're a scooper. That's all I'm saying, and I'm fine with you being a scooper. Just bring me my own marinara so that I have some too. That's all I'm asking. You do what you want.
I don't care if you're a big scooper, a little scooper, or a dunker. That's fine. Just bring enough for the table so that in case there's a scooper in the party, there's enough for everybody. That's all. It's not even about you.
It's about the restaurant. And, also, ranch soup is gross. Yes. I don't want that. I'm not gonna go Nobody wants that.
Slurping up a 6 ounces of ranch. No. Don't call it that. Josh, you are bald. Thanks.
No. It's not. That's not a critique. That's an observation. It's true.
Mhmm. You are very sensitive about this, but it is. I like your bald head. I think it looks fine. I think that you Mhmm.
Need to just own it. There are a lot of bald men. It's just a thing that happens. What do you think are some positives of being bald? Oh, well, I I save money on hair care products Yes.
And barbering. Yes. I do, you know, my my barber isn't barbering right now. I know. And it bums me out because, I like to spoil myself a couple of times a year and go and get the straight razor and do the head massage thing.
And does she do a warm towel on the face? Yep. And then she'll also do the nose wax thing, which is always a fun ride. But, yeah, the warm towels and the head massage and the, the, you know, the straight razor thing. Like, that's that's a nice treat, and I do enjoy that.
And, where she's not barbering right now, I haven't had that in a while. Aw. She needs to get back to barbering. I mean, you know, make make your own life decisions or just go back into barbering so I can spoil myself a few times a year. She took a break to I know.
Hang out with her young boys. Get it. I understand. She's got little kids. I'm like, get back to work.
I need some self care. Yeah. Come on. What other positives do you have? Let's see.
That's about it. You don't have to worry about dyeing your hair? I wouldn't do that anyway. I would if I had hair and and you you know it grows in on the sides. But if I had hair on top, I don't know what color it might be, but I'm starting to get a lot of the silvers in the sides.
And so there might be some silver in the top. I don't know. I kinda we'll never know. We'll never know. We will never know.
I dye my hair, and I my hairstylist is booked, and I had to cancel the appointment. And she said, I'm not gonna be able to get you in for weeks. And I'm like that like having a hairstylist? Lovely. I love her.
Yeah. My barber quit barbering. I'm sorry. So my hair is very much got all the silver streaks in it. And listen to me when I say I'm kinda digging it.
Okay. Good. And I kinda just wanna just let it go. Let's see what happens. I'm kind of really driving on it.
Now you were saying yesterday that you like the silver in it, but you weren't particularly fond of the natural brown. Right. Because you see through the bottom and the roots. My natural roots poking through. I don't care for that part.
But you like the silver poking through. Figure out what you do. The silver at? Oh, you can see it. I can't.
You can. It's, like, right here. See on the top right here? Oh, I see. And then over here on the sides Okay.
Right by my ears. Okay. But I kinda like it. I think I might just be ready to just let it go. See what happens.
It's dignified. Right? Like, that's the thing. Like, if you start owning it, it's like, hey. This is me.
This is who I am. This is what I'm gonna do. It makes me look wizened. I'm gonna Google that real quick. Okay.
Wizened. Not, yeah, not a wizenedheimer. Wizened. Wizened. Oh, okay.
Shriveled or wrinkled with h. No. It's not that. It's not that. I was thinking maybe, like, a person who is wise.
Yeah. That's why I thought maybe you meant, but it's not. No. Well yeah. Wizened by age.
That's, yeah, shrunken, withered. Okay. That's I don't wanna look like Small that. Dry skin with lines due to old age. Okay.
That's not what I that's not what I meant. Yeah. No. You don't look wizened. I meant, like, somebody who's With wisdom.
Yeah. Yeah. You look maybe wiser. Like a Gandalf sort of person. Oh, yeah?
Is that right? You don't look anything like Gandalf, so you got that going for you. Okay. Yeah. Yeah.
Cool. Speaking of Gandalf, this is not Gandalf, but, Patrick Stewart Yeah. Who play he was in Star Trek, I think. Right? Yeah.
In his early days of acting, he did auditions wearing a wig. Okay. And at the end of his auditions, he would dramatically pull off his wig and say, if you cast me, you get 2 actors for the price of 1. Because he's bald. Bald.
See? See, he's he's a guy who's made it big as a bald guy. There's a lot of people that make it build big. Vin Diesel. The Rock.
Big as a bald guy. The Rock. Sure. Rock the Dwayne Johnson. Yeah.
Anyone who wants to play Jackson. Esther Adams. Stanley Tucci. Okay. Jace Jason Statham, Bruce Willis.
Okay. Yeah. I can. Yeah. Jordan, John Travolta, Ed Harris.
Wait. Wait. Wait. John Travolta has made it big as a bald guy? Well, I said I've searched famous bald people.
He's on the list. He's a bald person who was famous with hair. Yeah. Got it. Let's let's stick to people who are famous for being bald, not bald people who are famous.
Pitbull? Yeah. Mister 305? That guy? I almost said mister bald guy.
Listen. You were gonna pick a different ZIP code or a different area. 208. Mister 208, that's me. That is you.
That's me. Josh. Mister 208. Come on. No.
You're the Idaho pit bull. I am not Idaho's pit bull. Absolutely not. You're not yet, but you could be. I don't own enough suits or pointy shiny shoes.
Yet. Also, I don't get up on stage and go, yo. What's up, everybody? It's mister 208. That's not my style.
Yeah. I am not no. I am not the embodiment of mister 208. We're in the early stages. We're gonna get you fashioned into that style.
Oh, no, mama. Josh, this is this is how we get rich. No. This is a get rich slow scheme. You're pretty good at those.
I am not mister 208, But thank you for thinking so highly of me that I could be mister 208 if I just applied myself. You will be. Oh, boy. Thanks. All you need is the confidence No.
No. And the willingness to try. We were made aware of a list that has got you kinda hot. No. It doesn't.
It's got you a little bit hot. Rolling Stone, known, for making some of the, I would say, worst lists. Okay. That's my that's my hot take. Okay.
Put out a list of the 50 greatest video games of all time. Which, again, lists are relative, aren't they? Your Oh, that's absolutely true. List is not gonna be the same as my list. You're absolutely correct about that.
List, it's all subjective. The first thing I looked for was Mario Brothers because Mario Brothers or Mario Kart? Both. Okay. So I just searched I did a search for Mario because I wanted to see where Mario I would I would say that Super Mario Brothers.
The original. The original would be high on the list. And then Super Mario Brothers 3, also high on the list. Those were both very terrific games. Introduced the, flying tail Yes.
Mechanism. Yeah. Okay? Neither of those are on this list. You know it is on this list.
Sure. Super Mario Brothers, which is the worst Mario Brothers. First Mario. Yeah? No.
No. No. No. Sorry. The it's, the it was the one on the Super Nintendo.
Super Mario World. The one on Super Mario World. Okay. And that was number 4 on the list. On the Super Nintendo in 1991.
Great game. No. That's the worst Mario game. Way. That's a good game.
No. It isn't. I wouldn't say it's the best Mario game, but it's a good Mario game. Worst Mario game. I I think you're I think you're, hot take in that one a little bit.
No. No. No. No. I've played it.
Did you have a Super Nintendo? No. But I knew That's your whole issue. And I knew somebody who did, and I played that game. I had the Super Nintendo.
I played a lot of Super Mario World. It was a good game. I stayed up all night playing that game with my friend. So, yeah, I I know a little bit better. Many nights.
I know a little bit more. Good game. It's a good Mario game. I'm not mad about that one being in the top 5. 4.
It's a good representation of of Super Mario. Wrong. You're wrong. Oh, man. Anyway yeah.
Go on. They have, Mario Kart listed at number 20, but it's Mario Kart 64, which I agree with because 64 was good. 64 was The Nintendo 64 console, I did not own, but played a couple of games. I had a friend, Dave, who had a 64, and I played some games with him on his 64. And that was fine.
Sure. Good. My niece was just a baby when that game came out, and my sister owned a Nintendo 64. She was ignored a lot of the time. Who?
The niece? My niece because she was she was a neglected child because we had Mario Kart to play. Interesting. So go away, little kid. Wow.
Wow. Okay. And those are the only 2 Those are the 2 games you care about Correct. That are on this list. Yes.
Alright. Well, let's dive a little bit more in here because I think there's I think there's some other stuff to talk about. I spent many a midnight release in line for Halo games. Uh-huh. Halo, the very first one, made it to number 11 on the original Xbox.
It was original Halo. Happy with that sitting? I I don't, whatever. I really don't care about Rolling Stones lists. I don't even care.
Don't think they're good at it. No. They're not. I I it's one person who puts together this list, and anytime they do it, like, look, I'm I like the Beatles just as much as the next guy. But Sergeant Pepper's, 1, I don't think was the best Beatles album, and 2, shouldn't be the number one album on every Rolling Stone list.
So whoever the guy is that's making those lists that keeps doing that, stop it. But, again, it's all relative. And I would also say Rolling Stone, not well known for their video game publishing. That's kind of outside their wheelhouse. Music is more their scene That's fair.
Historically. And I get it. It's an opinion thing, whatever. What did he put as number 1 in this place? We'll get to number 1 here in just a minute, because I wanna talk about number 2 first.
And number 2, I think is a great pick. I think it's a good solid pick for best video game of all time. And this is where I'm gonna give Rolling Stone a little bit of credit. The original 1989 Game Boy version of Tetris. Number 2.
Solid game. Still own it. Still play it. Still love it. I'm bored by that game.
I'm bored listening to you talk about that game. I can do that all day. I I can do that all day. All day I love Tetris. I know.
You have it. It's so good. I like playing it. As was pointed out by one of our coworkers, it has taken years before somebody actually beat Tetris, and it happened last year. It's a big deal.
I think that game is boring. What a soundtrack. Yeah. It's a boring soundtrack too. Pretty good.
Pretty good. I like Tetris a lot. The game they picked is number 1. It's from 2017 on the Nintendo Switch. It's the Legend of Zelda Breath of the Wild.
I have heard I've known insane, great reviews for this game. I've never played it. I was not a big Zelda guy. I didn't grow up with Zelda and, and, you know, any of that stuff. Triforce.
I don't know any of that stuff. A game did not make this list that's really sad is Excitebike. Okay. You know Excitebike? No.
I don't. Nintendo? Sure. And you had to you had to create your own design of a I never created my own bike. No.
No. No. No. You didn't create your own bike. You had to create your own track.
I never did that. You could put as many bumps and hurdles in there as you wanted. Sometimes you would just put call them. You would just put bumps after bumps after bumps in there. There would be no flat track, Just bumps.
Just whoops. Man, oh, man. Yeah. Excitebike was the most exciting. That's why they called it Excitebike.
It was exciting. Number 13 on the list, was Doom, and this is the MS DOS version. This ran on, those floppy b drive discs, and my buddy Sean and I played a lot of Doom, which was great. Street Fighter 2 was number 14. Street Fighter 2.
The arcade version They had this. Which I think is great. I wasn't allowed to play it because it was too violent. I think this one is far less violent than Mortal Kombat, which I know you did play. No.
I didn't play. You snuck. Well, I snuck played. Yes. Mortal Kombat way more violent than Streetfighter.
The arcade version, so good. So good. Should be on the list. I agree. I think that's great.
They've got more modern stuff in there. Madden NFL, they picked 2,004. I don't know why they picked the 2,004 version. Madden as a game is is great. It it's good.
No problems with that. But they I mean, they put everything in here. Tony Hawk Pro Skater, great game. Probably should have been higher than 23. The Sims made it at 24.
Oh, Sims is good. Yeah. You like that. You played a lot of Sims. And I think they covered a lot.
Minecraft Miss Pac Man. One of the miss Pac Man. Solid. She made it? She's number 32.
Good for her. I like miss Pac Man. Minecraft, number 28 on the list, and probably the best selling video game of all time, and it's at number 28. So No. No.
I don't understand their bias. No Donkey Kong. Yeah. I'm out. Yeah.
I'm done with this list. Sonic made it. Sonic made me want a Game Gear really bad because I had the Game Boy, but the Game Gear was backlit and color. You're not gonna you're not gonna put Super Mario Brothers 1 or 3, and you're gonna put Super Mario 2 in there, and then you're not gonna even put Excitebike or Donkey Kong. I'm not gonna put paperboy in there either.
Well, nobody should. But Excitebike deserves a spot. It was not that exciting. Yes. It was.
No. It wasn't. Anyway, thanks for the list, Rolling Stone. Appreciate it. Let's find out if you would rather one thing or the other thing.
It's would you rather this or that? Okay. Would you rather have the ability to teleport anywhere in the world, but you can only take one item with you every time you go. Wait. Well, hold on.
But Okay. Go ahead, and then I'll ask my questions. Okay. Or have the ability to read minds, but you can never turn it off so you hear what everybody is thinking all of the time. When I teleport Yeah.
And I can only take one item Yeah. Is that in addition to what I'm wearing? Yes. Okay. Good good deal.
Just wanted to make sure. Yes. Because that's that's kind of important information. You're as you are, and you get to take one thing. You can't take a person.
It has to be one thing. Inanimate object. Yeah. And I can teleport anywhere in present time. I'm not time traveling.
Correct. I'm just I'm here, and then I'm somewhere else. Yes. I'm gonna take that. I'm gonna take that too because I don't wanna hear what people have to say all the time.
No. Just when I want to. Yeah. I don't need that. I want the ability to turn it off and on.
I don't really wanna hear what people are thinking. I don't. Yeah. I changed my mind. You feel bad enough about what people actually say.
I don't wanna know what's going on behind the scenes. No. Yeah. So I think I'm taking the teleport, but I can only bring one inanimate object with me. It's probably gonna end up being my phone.
Oh, yeah. That's probably what's gonna happen. Probably the the the thing I'm gonna take with me wherever I'm at just because that's a communication thing. And ChapStick? You gotta take ChapStick.
Oh, yeah. What? I just Teleporting, really. Chap's my lips. Better bring my ChapStick.
Oh, just What are you talking about? Thinking about things that you would have in your pocket. Yeah. And ChapStick is always in my pocket. I can find ChapStick where I'm going.
I like the idea I could poof them somewhere. That's kinda neat. That does sound cool. Okay. Wip.
Wip. Would you rather this or that? Thursday edition. Okay. What video were you just watching?
It was why? Just just curious. It was a a daughter recording her dad watching Wicked. Yeah. So Wicked's still king of your algorithms, it seems like, for a month now.
Yeah. It's it's been, it's been a lot of defying gravity coming out of your phone. And I don't hate it. No. I I don't I'm not mad about it either.
It's it's great. I just I heard you watching a video, and it was still Wicked. It was it's funny because it's like it's a dude. He's like a buff dude, and he's just, like, kicked back watching Wicked, and he's like you can see his eyes get big. And I'm telling you, when when we went to New York and I saw Wicked on Broadway, for the first time, I was blown away.
Just it's incredible. Absolutely Good stuff. Like, took my breath away. And then, went and saw the movie, and in its own way, did the same thing. And I was just it's powerful.
And if you've never seen it, and you haven't been to Broadway, and you haven't seen the touring show, and you have no idea about the story or the characters or what's coming, and the music is powerful, and, and it just hits, man It's good stuff. It'll it just will it it's it's wild. So, I think it's funny that they're and and fun and entertaining to watch people have that experience for the first time. I know. So I'm not mad about it.
I just I heard Wicked, and I thought, yeah. It's still still strong still strong in your algorithm. In my algorithms. Yeah. I did find my original, playbill.
Because you saw, Idina Menzel and Kristen Chenoweth when you win. I saw the original cast. He was just that it's Joel Gray, who's the big icon on Broadway too. Yeah. He played the Oz.
And The Oz. The Oz, the wizard. Mhmm. So, yeah, I had been looking for that for a while. And you did find it.
Finally found it. Because that was, what, 2003. No. Yeah. Summer of 2004.
Of okay. Yeah. Summer of o or spring of o four Mhmm. Is when you went and saw it. So and then we saw it, like, 19 years later.
We went in 23 to New York. So, different cast. I did not see the original cast, but I saw it Shame. In in the theater, though. What's the Gersh?
What's it called? Gershwin. Gershwin Theater? Mhmm. Yeah.
Cool. Same theater you saw Yeah. Many, many years later, which was very cool. So you've now seen it on Broadway twice. Twice.
Look at you. I know. Holy. What's it like to be rich? Like so cool.
Man. You're something else. But you also saw you saw Rent. What was the other, you saw a couple of different ones while you were there? Aida.
Aida. It was just those 3? Mhmm. Mhmm. Just those 3?
Yeah. Just Aida, Rent, and Broadway. Yeah. Musicals? Mhmm.
No big deal. Yeah. And then you ate at Olive Garden in New York too because you're rich, and you went with rich friends. No. No.
No. My friend was rich. He paid for a lot of it. I was poor college student. I know.
I know. Anyway, I think that's it. I'll let you get back to your wicked rhythm, algorithms. And, Wicked rhythm algorithms? Wicked rhythm algorithms.
