Heavily contested. What if somebody said, what's your favorite vegetable, and you said, I love lettuce? There's a lot of people love a lettuce. What kind of lettuce? Iceberg?
Arugula? Mixed greens? Leafy greens? Spinach. Spinach?
A different vegetable. Also leafy. Dandelion. Good morning. It's also World Tessellation Day today.
Tessellations are sort of repeating patterns, used a lot in, like, tile and stuff like that. It is World Day to combat desertification and drought. Oh, how do we combat it? There's a lot to do with water. No.
I know. How do we combat it? I would recommend that you do some research on, different ways that you can get involved. Do your own research? That's what I'm saying.
You could organize or join an event, to highlight the significance of combating desertification and drought. You could make eco friendly choices, adopt more sustainable habits. It says you could plant trees. You could educate yourself and others. That's the part I said.
You could also participate in sustainable land management practices and use social media to spread awareness. Hey. Look at you educating others. You've done your part. It's take your cat to work day.
Oh, that's chaos. You think? Yeah. Running around, bouncing off the walls, a bunch of cats. Knocking things off the counters.
Yeah. We don't need that. Let's see. It is also global garbage man day. This is something the whole world needs.
So big thanks to the men and women who keep the community sanitary and hygienic It's I'm reading what it says. It says garbage man day. I'm I understand there are women in the field as well. It is apple strudel day. Yum.
That's all I have to say about apple strudel. And that's all I have to say about what's happening today. Time out. Do they still make toaster strudels? Do you remember those things?
Like a Pop Tart, but better. Terrible Pop Tart? No. Better. Worse?
Worse. I am shook. Toaster Strudels Worse. Are greater than pop tarts. Wrong.
You're wrong. Not enough frosting in a little pouch, and you have to do it yourself, and you have to heat it up in order for it to taste good. Not as good as a Pop Tart. Absolutely. A 100% better than a Pop Tart.
We're gonna ask this on the Facebook community. I'm gonna ask you a question. I want you to take a guess or maybe you know. Maybe you don't need to guess at all. I'm gonna ask you, who which musical artist do you think Which musical artist?
Do you think has broken the attendance record for the biggest concert crowd? Ever? Ever. And it's not Taylor? Is that your guess?
I'm I I wanna say it's Taylor, but I don't know for sure that it's Taylor. What's your final guess? I wanna say Taylor. Wrong. George Strait.
What? Yeah. Right? A 110, 900 and 5 ticket buying fans at the Texas and, wait, Texas A&M Yeah. In College Station.
Kyle Field at Texas A&M in College Station. Okay. Record was previously held by the Grateful Dead who had a 107, 019 fans at their 1977 show in New Jersey. That's a lot of people. Swift, guess how many she's had?
96, 000. Wow. Somebody's not as great. As the Grateful Dead and And George Strait. Great.
Yeah. So I so feel like she broke stadium records, though. Find out. Okay. She might have broken stadium records, but what are stadium records?
I don't know. And it may be I just specific to venue. I just googled her biggest her biggest crowd, and it was 96, 000. That's wild. Somebody's keeping those stats.
A week ago, she broke the attendance record in Scotland. Which was? She had over 73, 000 It's not a 100 and 10, 000, is it? Not total. No.
I mean, I'm good now. I'm good now. I'm getting there. I kinda like that she doesn't doesn't have that record. Yet.
I know. Is that petty? She she will, but she just broke 1 in Scotland. So do these guys have the biggest 1 in Scotland? No.
She does. George Strait? Probably not. No. I bet he goes to Scotland, and they're like What?
Who? What? I I don't know this. What's what's I don't know what this is. Well, congratulations to George.
And I know. That's a big deal. It is a big deal. A 110, 000 people all singing along to Pick a song. Sit.
Hurry. Hurry. Check out this. Check it out. About a week ago, 6 members of the Salem High School class of 1944 gathered at Denny's in Oregon for their 80th class reunion.
How many people were there? 6. Aw. 6 members. They all graduated high school in 1944.
That's a wild thing. The graduating class was 368 students. They were all raised during the great depression in World War 2. Their commencement was held June 1, 1944. That was 5 days before d day Oh, wow.
Graduated high school. 9 boys did not get to walk across the stage because they had already gone off the floor. Ugh. That's gross. Yeah.
So the I know. It's crazy. The organizers of the reunion, each brought memorabilia for a display table at the restaurant, fundraiser. The Denny's restaurant took good care of these longtime friends. They placed their orders with Denny's server.
Her name was Sheryl, like they had many times before, and management said, this is on us. We're taking care of your lunch Oh. Which is kinda cool. We just wanted to make them feel special, said the restaurant manager. After 80 years, they deserve it.
So pretty awesome. So there were 6 of them that were at this reunion. 80th class reunion. 6 of them. Do you know their names at all?
No. Oh. I'm sure if I go to the story, there's More impressions. And and all kinds of things. Yeah.
But Look at those guys. There they are. 1 guy, 5 ladies. And, that's class of 1944. Troubled they does.
Yeah. No kidding. Oh, that's a great story. Isn't that cool? That's a good 1, John.
It's good news to get you going. A classy 97. I took Emery to the doctor on Friday. Uh-huh. And as we're sitting there waiting for the doctor, she's sitting in that table that has that, paper underneath it, and it crinkles.
And so she was kinda crinkling it, and she goes, ASMR. Oh. And she was crinkling it, and then she tapped her nails on the wall. It's awful. I don't like that stuff.
So then I started to do some ASML On your phone. On my phone. And then I did it on my for some reason, I did it on my head. Which only you can hear. I can hear that ASMR.
And she goes, that's not you doing ASMR. That's just you looking dumb. Oh. I know. Rude.
Well, I you tried. I like the phone 1 was good. You were on track with that 1, but then you got a little out of control with the doing it on your own head. I don't like it. It's weird.
I don't understand it. I don't, care for it. I don't consume it regularly. There's not any ASMR that you like? Because there's different kinds.
No. There's the whispering. No. I don't like that. There's chewing.
Nope. Don't like that. There's wrappers unwrapping. Don't like that. You don't like any These are all things that annoy me most of the time.
Why would I voluntarily go, yes. Let me listen to someone eat chips. Ugh. But what I'm saying is there's multiple kinds of ASMR. There's gotta be 1 that you do like.
No. I like nature sounds. Okay. That's that's a form. Nope.
Yeah. It is. No. That's just nature sounds. That's a sound that you like.
Isn't ASMR just sounds that you like? What's the definition? I'm looking it up. It says it is a feeling of well-being combined with a tingling sensation in the scalp and down the back of the neck as experienced by some people in response to a specific gentle stimulus, often a particular sound. Oh.
I don't think that natural does that sound to you? No. That's not I I relax. I don't get this tingle. Yeah.
It says it's triggered by things like whispering voices, paper tearing, and scalp massage. Now I do like scalp massage. Me too. I'm I'm into that. Alright.
Let's try this 1. Are you ready? Yeah. No. It did that did nothing for you?
Nope. Nothing? Nothing. We saw some cars over the weekend. There was a pack of 4 of them.
They were Yeah. All driving together to a show or something. Some sort of thing they had going on. There were some a couple of really cool sports cars. I don't know what they were.
There was a Supra and a GTR. And then, and then there was, like, a hot rod. It was, like, an orange thirties hot rod that was very cool, and then there was, like, a fifties Chevy Bel Air. Yeah. And as we saw them, Emery really wants really wants a sports car, and so does Bec, our son.
And she said, I'll be that 1. Beck can be that 1. And then I she said, dad can be 1 of the other. You and dad can be 1 of the other 2. Right.
And then you said, mom is the hot rod. Yeah. Look at it. I said, why am I the hot rod? Because it's a cool, good looking car.
It's got a lot of power and muscle, and it's got a good look. So that's a good looking car. You've once described me as a large mouth bass. Yes. Sturdy fish.
Strong fish. Good fish. Now I'm a muscular Yes. Fast hot rod. Yes.
Hot rod and a, largemouth bass. Great qualities in both things. These are nice compliments. These are the things that you used to describe me? Yeah.
Wow. If if you were described as a car, you would be a 19 twenties hot rod. No. Not if I had all the cars at my disposal, but in those In that If if Emory's already claimed the Supra Okay. That's already the GTR, you're certainly not the Bel Air.
Okay. I don't wanna be the Bel Air. I'd rather be the hot rod than the Bel Air. Yeah. That leaves you at the Bel Air.
You're not the Bel Air. I know. But that's what I'm stuck with, and that's how it goes for me. Aw. Don't be sad.
I'll be fine. That's the Bel Air. I'll survive. Well, thanks for, making me the hot rod, I guess. It was and it was orange, and it was cool.
Then the, the engine was exposed on the front. That was rad. It was a very cool car. Okay. It was loud.
Oh. Had that going for it Oh. Put in a good way. A good loud. Like, you you hear it and you go, I like how I hear that.
That's good loud. You can hear me coming. Yeah. You can hear that car coming. Like that the whole way down the road.
And you're like, wow. Coming from up behind you. You're like, oh, that that's coming. Something sounds something sounds big. Something And then it goes past you.
Don't say something sounds big. What did I say? You said something. We did some shopping over the weekend. We were in Utah, so we did some shopping.
Now here's what I would like to say. Emery's working for us this summer. She's doing some odds and ends at our house, some projects, and cleaning and different things, and we're paying her. Right. And so she has her own money.
She has her own debit card. But when we go to the store, she does this little dance of, who's paying for this? Me or you? And she never asks that, but it is definitely there. I her intention is forgot my wallet kinda thing.
Yes. Yeah. So then, I had bought her some things. She didn't use her money for some of the things, and I had bought her some things that she needed. And she, yesterday, was like, oh, you didn't by the way, you didn't pay me for my Friday work.
And I went Right. You're right. But I did spend a lot of money on this weekend. We bought this and this and this and this. Yeah.
Sure. So you don't feel like that was duly compensated? She did not think that was duly compensated. I see. She thought that that was just us buying things because we're her parents.
I see. Love her. Well, look. This is a gray area. This is a new area for her because now she has her own stuff.
Now she did end up spending her own money on some things. Right? Yes. She did. Okay.
So it isn't like like she didn't buy her own stuff at some point. Right? That's true. Okay. But it is always weird as we walk to the counter.
Up to the cash again. Who's gonna pay for this? Is this, you? I think it's gonna be you. I think you're gonna pay for this.
I don't think I'm gonna pay for this. I think this is gonna be you. And then she Sounds like you 2 need to talk about this. It sounds like, yeah, we don't have much communication happening. I think you're right.
Yeah. This sounds like, so some sort of conversation that needs to happen. That is what I think. The 2 of you need to put your heads together and say, hey. Listen.
There are certain things that fall within parental responsibility, food, and things that we'll take care of. You don't have to worry about that. Also, shopping is the worst. Why? I hate shopping.
Walking around, looking at all the items in the different aisles? Boring. I don't like it. How are you gonna know what's available to buy if you don't go out and shop? No.
Boring. We did something very cool on Friday. What did we do on Friday? We got to see a legend. Yes.
We did. And I know. Nelly. Yes. We did see Nelly.
Yes. Yes. We did. We saw Nelly, and, and he performed, some of his songs. And a lot.
Her. A lot that weren't his. What was the other 1? Ride with me and Air Force 1. Yeah.
And then and then, yeah, then he performed sort of a montage of songs that were not his. Yeah. Songs from FlowRida and DMX and other people. We didn't really watch him. We were a little late.
Having a conversation Yeah. We were a little as Nelly was on. But late to his show. That's fine. Well, what a legend.
What a great show. Actually did see a legend in the name of Janet Jackson. Oh, yes. After Nelly, then it was the Janet Jackson show. And it was amazing.
She was awesome. She was incredible. At the beginning, she was like, how are you doing Salt Lake? I just wanna let you know, like, I can do this all night long. And she She did.
4 songs nonstop. Is she had a Wardrobe changes. Separated into acts. Yeah. 4 acts.
The 4th act was my favorite. Yeah. It was really good. I had. Rhythm Nation was in there.
Yeah. Scream was probably my favorite performance. I thought that was so cool. And, Michael Jackson was on the screen, and, and that was really cool. And just the way they had the stage set up and the glass breaking, and it was it was super loud.
It was so loud. Really awesome. People were leaving during that. I don't know what's wrong with people. I don't care about traffic.
I know. I don't. Like The best part of the concert is always at the end. Everyone knows that. Right.
I'm sorry. I'd rather watch and get my money's worth than leave traffic behind. I don't know. That's just me. We rented some chairs to see the show.
Yeah. We talked about that last week. Tickets on the lawn, and you could rent tickets. Rent chairs. Rent chairs.
Right. $15 a piece for those chairs. Yeah. By the time we got there They were out of chairs. Yeah.
They were all Out of chairs. Which And they don't reimburse you for that. Just a heads up. If you ever go to this venue and you're like, I'm gonna rent a chair and have somewhere to sit, you better show up way early if you plan on actually getting the chair you prepaid. But, also, we wouldn't have sat in those chairs anyway.
We ended up standing the whole time. Everyone was standing the whole time. So that's a lame Something that we, you know, we know now. There was also standing next to us, there was a dad and a son. He was probably about, I don't know, maybe 10 years old.
Yeah. They were having a good time. Just a dad and a son. Just dancing all the way. Some other people they were with kind of over to the right and in front of them because at the end, they were kinda talking to a group of people.
So I assume that they were kind of all together, but but those 2 specifically were standing there jamming out, having a good time. At 1 point, I saw the dad. He was like, I'm gonna take a breather, and he laid down in the grass. There was there was another lady we saw who was kind of up in front of us and to the left. She was a solo.
She was just by there by herself. Oh, yeah. She danced time. She did not stop. She was crazy.
So, it was a good time, though. It was a good time. Show. What a cool show. Show.
I would dare say better than Taylor Swift. Wow. You are on 1 today about that. It. Why?
I said it. Oh, because I'm feeling feisty. Apparently. Apparently. I don't know why.
But Don't either. Keep it up on a Monday. Hey. We went to the movie over the weekend. We went and saw the number 1 movie at the box office.
Was it really? Yeah. Inside out 2 brought in a $155, 000, 000. That's the biggest debut for a movie in 2024. What else came out with it?
Was there anything any competition? I know, like, Bad Boys, the new Bad Boys movie, it came out last week. The new Planet of the Apes movie is out. The Garfield movie is out. Nice.
But but as far as new movies, it was the only new release this week. Okay. But it was also something Pixar was very, like, we kinda don't know what we're gonna do going forward, and we really have a lot of, weight riding on Inside Out 2. They were kind of in a position where they were thinking, we might have to really retry a lot of things if this doesn't work out. So the fact that it was number 1 at the box office and the biggest debut for any movie this year so far bodes well for Pixar.
And the movie was great. I loved it. I didn't love it as much as the first 1. Right. You love love love the first 1.
Yeah. I loved the first 1. It was adorable. Lots of amazing there's a big red puberty button. That was hilarious because we have a 14 year old, and, and so there were things that parents with younger kids weren't necessarily laughing at, but you found hysterical as the mom of a teenage girl.
Yeah. Absolutely. And that was great. So it's a it's a great story. Lots of new characters, which were fun, and, great story and, you know, encapsulates a lot of that transition into teenager, which was fantastic.
It was a good movie. Okay. Do you remember as a kid when your parents would say, we're going to the movies, it was like you got dressed up to go to the movies. I don't know that I did. I think I just wore whatever I was wearing.
Oh, no. We always got, like, dressed up. Not like dresses or anything, but you would you would freshen up and wear, like, your nicest pair of jeans. Going on a movie date night, yeah, I'd be freshened up. But if I'm just going with my family, I didn't I I don't think I ever did.
I think I just went and went and probably wore my lawn mowing shoes. We went to the movie this weekend at 9 o'clock, which is late for me. Yeah. I stayed awake for the whole movie, but I also was like, it's kinda cold. I wanna be comfortable, so I went to my pajamas.
I didn't even notice that you were wearing pajamas. No. It was just a hoodie and, like, some joggers. But That's just comfy clothes. That's not pajamas.
Well, it's it's frumpy. Right? It's not frumpy. It's comfortable. It was comfortable.
Yeah. That's how I'm gonna go to the movie from now on forever. Well, that's not gonna contribute to you staying awake. Yeah. I think you stayed awake.
You've actually, the last 2 movies we've gone to Yeah. You've you've made it through, which which I think is a big deal. It is a big deal. What was the other movie that I stated? It's the Spider Man movie.
Yeah. See that? Yeah. No. I see that.
And Wonka. I stated it was for Wonka. Yeah? Look at you. 3 in a row.
Come on. Who are you? Somebody new. Somebody that stays awake during a movie. Now let's try it at home.
No. Because I get too comfortable at home. I can lay down. Right. I put a blanket on.
Just not going on. Nobody shuffling bags and Yeah. Chomping food, kicking the back of your chair. Maybe that helps. Maybe if maybe if I put in, like, a real theater experience, all of those things, chewing, kicking your chair.
Then I'll stay awake at home. You'll be like, I can't even get comfortable. Not likely. You just, movie. I'll just get mad and say, not get off.
Let me sleep, bro. Bro. Hey. Yesterday was Father's Day. Uh-huh.
I had great intentions for you. You had other plans. Well, not necessarily. I just, didn't have plans. And that's the way you wanted it to be?
Yeah. I wanted to let's go do this, and let's run do this. And where do you wanna go for this? And I went, you know what? I kinda just wanna sleep in and be lazy.
And that's what I did. That worked out and, and just kinda lounged around for, like, the first part of the day, went and got lunch, which was which was nice, and then, ended up doing some yard work because that's how the the afternoon turned out. I was gonna take you fishing. You said now I'd rather sleep in. I just That's okay.
If I was already out, like, in the woods, we had enough going on. Between Friday, going to Utah, coming coming back, there was a lot of driving, and I thought, I don't really wanna get back into the driver's seat and drive to go. It just seemed daunting at the time. Okay. I want to go fish.
I want to camp very much badly, but I feel like I just wanted to chill out a little bit. And that's what we did. Yeah. And then end up getting some yard work done, which was much needed and It was much needed. So I have a blister from the yard work that we did.
I I told you to wear gloves. I know. I was wearing gloves because I didn't wanna get blisters. Well, I just every I have small hands, and so the gloves that I wear are always too big. Yeah.
And so then I can't grip properly. So I can't pull them. Make gloves in different sizes. I know they do, but I didn't wanna go get them. I like I prefer to work without gloves, but it does hurt.
Well I know. What did we learn? I thought I should wear gloves. Yeah. What did we learn?
Got attacked by ants. Yes. You got you got a blister on your bites. On the same hand as your blister? No.
This 1. Wow. So much going on. I know. It's a rough day for me.
Yeah. Blisters and ant bites. And then dinner, I didn't wanna cook. So we just end up grabbing dinner, which was fine. Yeah.
But it was like, I don't I don't wanna Well, nice to meet you. Thing you read that was, like, mother's day, cards and flowers and breakfast in bed and father's day? Here's some meat. Grill it for us. That kinda was the vibe.
On Mother's Day, here are flowers and breakfast in bed. Don't lift a finger. It's your day. Right. On Father's Day, we thought it would be fun if you grilled everyone dinner.
Yeah. Also, here's a Home Depot gift card so you can finally hang those shelves. That's it. That's the way it goes. Oh, poor dads.
I know. I know. Poor, poor dads. And we don't give macaroni necklaces either as previously stated. And what was the other thing I read too?
It was like mother's day cards are like, you're so amazing. Thank you for everything. Me. A dad's card. Like, here's a card.
The happy day. With a silly joke. Yeah. Because you can't be sentimental with your dad. No.
No. No. Don't do that. Emotions. Do that.
No. Men and emotions. Yeah. No way. That's like water and oil.
Happy Father's Day. Thanks. 1 of my favorite stores that we have around here Yes. Sells a bunch of kitchen supplies. Yes.
I love this store. You do like this store a great deal. You like to cook. I do. I I do.
Like to eat, and that's why we're a good pairing. Okay. It was it was a fallback for me. If radio didn't work out, culinary school was my next thing. Like, that's gonna be my thing.
Could still do that. I know. I really enjoy cooking. I like cooking for large groups. I like hosting.
I like making food. I like cooking for the family. Whatever. III enjoy it. Inside, outside, whatever.
You're good at it. I think I just try things, and sometimes they work out. I'm just happy that I don't have to do it. Okay. Even as a kid, though, I wanted to be a baker.
I thought, you know, it'd be a cool thing is if I had, like, a big window on the street where people could walk by and watch me bake things and smell the baked goods. So much anxiety. Oh, I think that'd be a people to watch me cook. So that was, that was sort of in my head as a kid. But I I enjoy it.
So we we stopped by that store, and we were looking around, and I saw some things. And then I remembered I needed a scoop for my pellets for the pizza oven. Yep. So we got that. What else did we find?
We found all kinds of stuff. I found the giant whisk, a big bowl. Here's something I learned about myself. Yeah. People that I work with have an interesting, impression of me.
Is that fair? Yeah. I'd say so. So, we have But they're not far off. We have the wake up classy 97 podcast where you can listen to the entirety of this show from 6 AM to 10 AM, on demand.
So if you miss a part of the show or if you wanna revisit a party, you missed half of a conversation and you're like, what were they talking about? You can download the podcast wherever you get podcasts, and you can catch up on the show. Yeah. So we were listening to, our show, which was strange to listen to a full show, but we hadn't done that. So we thought, let's listen to this whole thing.
And then we listened to a show from 1 of the guys down the hall. And they were talking about me They weren't talking about you. And and in a in a way that felt complimentary kind of, but also was back handed comp. No. I disagree.
Yeah. I think it was nice. They were talking about if you see a recipe that has, like, it requires you strain something through cheesecloth, that that's a ridiculous thing, and nobody actually has cheesecloth Yeah. Except for 1 guy in the whole building, and that's Josh Tielor. That guy is the guy who would have a cheesecloth, which I have too.
I think that's complimentary, Josh. I really do. It felt like a backhand. Like, this guy's lame. He has cheese gloves.
They said you were a cooking elitist. Is that what they said? I think it's backhanded in the way that they are jealous that they can't be as cooking amazing envious. As you are. Yeah.
I think they're envious that they're not as cooking amazing as you are. So poo on them? Cooking amazing Yeah. As I are. So Mhmm.
Poo poo to you. Okay. Well, we'll go let them know, that, yes, I do have cheesecloth. And 2 of them. 2 of them.
You have 2 of them. Yeah. Because sometimes 1 isn't enough. And, yes, when I make homemade hash browns or any sort of fries or anything like that, you gotta wash them to keep them from turning brown, and then you have to dry them through the cheesecloth. That's the thing.
I'm kind of with the those dudes on the rock show where it's like, if I see a recipe with cheesecloth, I'm like, forget about it. I'm not gonna make this. That's too complicated. And I'm thinking like, oh, great. I have the tools for that.
I'll see what I can make. No. Keep what else we got? Like, when I made that cheesecake, and it took me all day because I'd never made 1 before, and I had to do the whole bath thing in the oven Yep. That was wild.
And, again, that's something I never would have attempted because I woulda looked at that recipe and went, no. This is too complicated. Keep it easy. 4 ingredients or less. Who wants easy mac?
I'll make it. The amusement park ride in Oregon that malfunctioned, maybe you've heard of this. Is this the 1 that I sent you the video of? Yeah. That left 28 people hanging upside down for almost half an hour.
Yeah. In Portland, Oregon, this is where it happened. 2 dozen people hanging upside down. The ride was called the Atmosphere. It's a pendulum ride that swings 360 degrees It's a crazy looking ride.
While everyone in the little seats are also spinning. Gross. Yeah. It got stuck pointing straight up with all 28 people on the ride upside down. Witnesses said So, like, 27 minutes.
Yeah. Witnesses said they stayed calm for the first few minutes, and then panic started to set in. Yeah. All the blood is rushing to your head. And then you're there.
And then you're just trapped there. Most of the people apparently were high school aged kids. Most of. Most of them. Was anyone younger than that?
I don't know. I don't know. All get free, season passes? I don't know. They decided to close the park and then answer over the loudspeaker and said, please, everybody, exit immediately.
Then while people were filtering out, workers were able to manually lower the ride. Well, that's not what actually they didn't man like, they did a manual override on the ride, but once they got it unstuck, it had to finish the ride. Yeah. So these people that have been hanging upside down for almost a half hour, they got it unstuck. They still had to swing back and forth, not knowing if it was gonna get stuck again.
Can you can you even? No. I can't. I was camped evening the whole time I was watching the video because this guy is walking around the park, and he sees this ride stuck upside down. He's like, these people have been stuck upside.
Like, this ride is upside down. It's not moving. It's been, like, 3 minutes, and this thing's not moving. And then he checks in. It's been 5 minutes.
It's still not moving. And he goes and gets on the Ferris wheel, and he's riding the Ferris wheel. And it you know how the Ferris wheel takes forever. Yeah. They're stopped at the top, and they're like, it's been 15 minutes.
Those people are still upside down. And then you hear over the loudspeaker, the park is closed. Please, please leave the park immediately. Yeah. And then he's like, well, I guess we're going home once we get off this ride.
And then he does a a part 2 video, and he's driving away, and all the fire trucks and ambulances are coming in. And the ride's still upside down. He's outside the park in his car, and he's like, it's I can still see it's upside down. And then just a few minutes later, he posted another update, and that thing is swinging back and forth. Like, oh, they got it unstuck.
I guess the good news in all of it is that the safety belts work. Hey. Right? True. Those didn't malfunction.
Yes. What do you do, though? You're stuck upside down, and you know you're stuck. And how high were you? 80 feet in the air?
50 feet in the air? I don't know. Where do you because what if you're what if you're afraid that your seat belt's gonna malfunction? Where do you hang on to for dear life to go? If my seat belt comes unstuck, I'm going straight down.
Where do you hang? I don't know. Oh, terrifying. Yeah. I'm not riding that ride.
I wouldn't have ridden that ride anyway. You know why? Because it spins. Yeah. I've been curious to know what this story is since you wrote it on here.
It says sweater story. It is. So let's go. Okay. There was a woman in Germany, and she I don't know how old she is.
For 112. No. Her daughter asked her if she had any regrets. And she said, oh, I regret not buying this sweater I saw in Iceland 3 years ago. It had puffins on it.
It was so cute. I loved it. And I hemmed and hawed about if I should get it or not, and I eventually decided not to get it. And so I put it back. And I kinda had a little laugh about it.
And her daughter was like, you regret that? And she posted it online. She had a photo of the sweater, and posted it online and said, this is my only regret. A random guy in New York City saw the post, told her his biggest regret was buying that sweater for his wife because she's never worn it, and he mailed it to her, the woman in Germany. Fantastic.
And she posted a photo of herself wearing it. What a great little story. I it's adorable. Okay. So I'm looking at these Icelandic wool hand knit sweaters.
These are really nice. Yeah. Is this, is this the 1 with the puffins? The puffins. The the blue puffins?
Is it blue with the puffins, or is it It's gray. It's gray. It's gray. Alright. And it's got, like, a little bit of neck wool at the top, and then there's just puffins marching across the top.
Yeah. Because I'm looking at that, from Icewear. Oh. Yeah. It is a $175.
What? In Icelandic money? No. That's in US dollars. Oy.
Yes. I don't know if it's worth that. I think it is. It's puffins for 1, which and they're marching for 2. But it is, Lundy soft wool.
Lundy soft? Iceland, wool. I bet it's so warm. Yeah. You know it is.
Do you think it's itchy, though? No. I have a wool sweater. I love No. I have my my, blue Patagonia is wool.
I love that sweater. A weird flex. I'm just saying. I got it at a thrift store. I didn't I bought it secondhand.
I only shop Patagonia. No. No. Absolute. Have you heard about my kitchen where I have cheese cloths and my Patagonia was elitist.
Oh, come on. Not even true. I have a couple of pieces of gear that I was lucky to find thrifting that I'm like, this is sweet. Have you ever thrifted and found a a deal and then gone to the thrift store, like, a few weeks later and found the same deal but in a different color. I have.
No. No. No. What what was the deal? That's why I have 2 of the same zipper jackets.
One's blue and one's green. Same jacket. Oh, yeah. I do. So somebody cleaned out their closet and took a minute for them to get the inventory in.
So now I have both of them. So thanks to whoever donated those because they're sweet. You don't regret buying those? No. I don't usually regret buying things.
I kinda regret that you buy bought those. No. You don't. Time for your, would you rather this or that question of the day. Would you rather have a spouse with bad breath all the time or a spouse with body odor all the time?
And now here's the part where I say Don't. I have pulled. You are the worst. This this feels like a a good setup. 4?
For me to tell you, maybe wear deodorant and brush your teeth. I will tell you that I forgot my deodorant over the weekend. Know, and you had to use mine. To use your mine smells like armpits. It didn't before, so explain that.
It's my armpits. It smells like my armpits. Yeah. Gross. So It's a Monday time.
Rather have a spouse that has bad breath all the time or body odor all the time. Yep. Probably, body odor because every time we have a conversation, I'd have to deal with either 1. Uh-huh. But most of the time, I just would stay away.
Oh. So if if ever you're like, how come he's avoiding me? Maybe, maybe they don't check on the back. You don't think you would ever, like, tell me if I had bad breath or body odor? You didn't say I had any control over it.
You just said it was that way. Okay. If I did have either of those things Yeah. Would you tell me? You have to be the 1 that tells me.
You would have to be Josh. That's tough. I would just let you go through the day and then not tell you. And then a jerk. And then, later on, you'd be like, I was getting some weird looks.
Every time I was talking to somebody today, I'm like, that's strange. I'll be over here. It's so rude. Why is he avoiding me? Every time I go in for a kiss, you just conveniently I go, oh, 0, I'm sick.
You're like, what's wrong with him? Do you need me to rep your back? Nope. I'm good. Just be in here.
Don't worry about it. I if I wanna do I don't know what I'm gonna pick. But for you, I'm gonna pick body odor because then I'm just gonna smell it up everywhere I am next to you. Make your life miserable. You don't get to pick for me.
Yeah. Yeah. But, also, what are you picking? Body odor. Across the board?
Yeah. Okay. I was, just checking out our better today than yesterday daily challenge. What'd you check out? What'd you see?
Talked about several different methods of ways that you can be mindful and, practice, mindfulness, and today is another 1. This is, 54321 is the method. And you may have heard this where you, it's a grounding technique. So you're gonna write down 5 things that you can see, 4 things that you can hear, 3 things that you can feel, 2 things you can smell, and 1 thing that you can taste. And the idea is that you're grounding yourself in in where you are so that you can be present.
They also, that's a similar if you're having kind of, like, an, like, an anxious moment or a panic attack, that's something they say. Yeah. Close your eyes Helps. And then, you know, focus like that. Yeah.
For sure. So 54321 1 is your better today than yesterday daily, daily challenge. It's to practice this grounding technique of 5 things that you see, 4 that you hear, 3 that you feel, 2 that you smell, and 1 thing you can taste. That's also practice, some mindfulness. Janet Jackson sings that in her song Rhythm Nation.
She sings 54321. Reminder. 54321. Alright. And then you break it down.
