You just close 1 end, fill with soil, plant your seeds, do a little watering. When they're ready, plant it. That's an upcycle. In a toilet paper tube? Yeah.
I feel like when you water that, it's just gonna the more you water it, the more it's gonna dissolve. You give it just a little until you start germinating, and then you plant it in the dirt, and then it's fine. Oh, okay. It's upcycling. I didn't hear you say you planted it.
Okay. Okay. Okay. It's National Pralines Day. I like this 1.

No. I was just looking at the days and going, where's the dessert? Pralines. Pralines. And cream if you want.
I got some sad news for you. What's that? Have you ever heard about the blog Eat This, Not That? I have. It's, it's that diet book.
They did a whole bunch of those, and then they do the blog as well. And they kinda tell you, like, if you're gonna go to, fast food or something, you should eat this. That's a healthier choice than, you know, than the other option or whatever. They just put a list out of the 40th 40 unhealthiest snacks on the planet. Give me top 5.
Yeah. I'm not gonna say all 40. Alright. Zebra cakes is number 1. That's number 1?
That's number 1. Well, I would have started at number 5 and worked my way to number 1, but you do you. You go rogue. Top. I don't really care for zebra cakes anyway, so I don't feel like I'm missing out on anything.
Oh, man. Oh, man. Smucker's Goobergrape? That's, is that the, that's the peanut butter and jelly mix. Is it?
Yeah. I think so. I think it is fake. Is anybody even buying that? Yeah.
It is the peanut butter and jelly mix. Yeah. Ew, gross. Turtle Chex mix, little Debbie Swiss Rolls, which Little Debbie's got 2 on the top? Yeah.
Listen. Now little Debbie has got nothing on hostess ho ho's is what they were called. Those are better than little Debbie ones. Are you sure? 100%.
Flavor wise, texture wise, or health wise? Oh, health wise, they're probably in the same boat. Right. But flavor wise Okay. So zebra cakes and then 1.
Yeah. And then what was number 2? Smucker's Goober Grape. The Goober Grape. And then?
And then turtle Chex Mix. Yeah. And then Little Debbie Swiss Rolls. And number 5? Doritos nacho cheese.
No. Yeah. Just a regular Doritos? Yeah. No way.
Top 5 worst worst health wise? Yeah. Man. Yeah. I know, buddy.
They're good. Sorry. Yeah. All this stuff is good. That's why it's bad for you.
Because it's good? Yes. This is so good. It's so bad. No.
Because it's terrible for you. All of the good stuff is terrible for you. Well, we need to have, A cucumber. Go eat a cucumber instead. Don't mind that.
I'll eat a cucumber. Over Doritos? Yeah. Right on top. Dorito, cucumber.
Hey. That's not that doesn't sound like a bad idea. I'd combine a a good and a bad. Then it just wipes itself out. Right.
Makes it a 0. Right. Free. For free. Do you think there's a celebrity big enough that could take on Taylor Swift?
I mean, I don't know. Take her on how? Like Take her on as in, like, saying some snarky comments to her. I don't know. Clue me in.
What's going on? I'll tell you. So she's been in London doing some shows in London. Mhmm. She was at Wembley Stadium.
Yes. Wembley Stadium. A little band called the Foo Fighters. Okay. Was playing at a smaller venue called London Stadium, which is by no means small, but smaller.
And Dave Grohl, lead singer of the Foo Fighters Yeah. Said, you don't wanna suffer the wrath of Taylor Swift, So we like to call our tour the errors tour. Errors. Errors. Errors.
Okay. And then he added, we've had more than a few errors and more than a few errors as well. Okay. And then he said, that's because we actually play live. Alright.
So by all means, he poked the bear. Okay. Right? Then she said, we're we play live for 3 and a half hours. Is that what she said?
Yeah. That's a direct quote. Ourself. We play live for 3 and a half hours. K.
She does a very long show. Is it live, the whole thing? Is it live? Yeah. So she is up there singing and doing her full show live.
Yes. Is the band live? Oh. Perhaps. They she has a band on stage.
Right. So I would say yes to a point there is a live band. Now what's happened in pop music for a long time is people use backing tracks. So I believe there's probably a bit of a combination of live musician and backing track elements, but there's nothing wrong with that because you're getting your money's worth in a 3 and a half hour long show. Yeah.
Maybe And she goes nonstop. Condense it, though. It doesn't need to be 3 and a half hours. Are you gonna go through all the eras if you don't give it 3 and a half hours? You don't probably have to.
We watched the movie. I know. We had to take a break in the movie. Yeah. It's too long.
It's too long. Oh, what a thing to be upset about. Who? Me? You, Dave Grohl, anybody.
Who cares? I think it's funny. I think Dave Grohl is the 1 that could take her on. And he even said But why? I don't know.
I don't know why. I'm like, yes. I think it's just because drama. Is that okay. Maybe.
Like, for me, I'm like, who cares? You both you both have a crowd of people you're performing to. Be grateful. Enjoy your enjoy your night. Such a peacemaker, Josh.
Well, what are we what are we arguing about? Who cares if she plays live or not? It doesn't matter. Does a single person in the crowd at her show that paid all that money to go see her care if the band isn't playing well. And they probably can't even tell.
Right. Right? They're singing along, having a good time. Who cares? What a weird thing to be mad about.
Well, we're up here doing it live. Okay? Cool. Well, way to harsh that story. I'm just trying to say what fun.
It's a nothing hamburger, Chantel. Good news to get you going on your Monday a couple years ago. Maria, I think it's acre, but, we'll pretend it's spelled wrong. Anyway, she's from Harrisburg, Pennsylvania. K.
They got the c and the r backwards, so it says Acre. Oh, okay. So that's why I think it's supposed to be Acre. Or maybe that's how it's spelled. RRC, arky, arca, ark, ark.
Whatever. Her name's Maria. Maria. And a couple of years ago, she was told that her kidneys were not functioning correctly and that she would need to be placed on the transplant list. Oh.
So after moving to the United States and seeing her daughters marry and start families of their own, she discovered that 1 of her sons in law would be able to help save her life. Fantastic. Eduardo is this guy k. The son-in-law. He's a direct match.
So the news of the match was met with mixed emotions. I felt so overwhelmed with happiness knowing that somebody was a match for me is what Maria said, but at the same time, I'm very afraid for them. Eduardo had no mixed emotions. He said someone in my family needs my help, and I wanna raise my hand and be there for them. So the surgery happened, went off without a problem.
Maria is now thriving and has had a chance to celebrate her grandchildren's birthdays and graduations. Eduardo was able to get back to his normal life within a week. That's fantastic. So some good news, Josh. That's good news.
I'm going. And Eduardo. Are you? Yeah. It's good news to get you going.
Gone. Look at you go. Way to go, Eduardo. And Maria. Congrats, Maria.
It's a big deal. Yeah. Good news to get you going in Classy 90 7. Do you remember, when we used to rent a house? Sure.
When we Or an apartment? When we had yeah. We had Yeah. Several apartments. Yeah.
I mean, what? We had the apartment, the townhouse. Yeah. Then we moved, and then we had, an apartment, and then we bought our house. Do you remember, whenever there was a problem, you would just call the landlord and say, hey.
We got this problem. Come fix it. Yeah. We have a landlord that would lecture us, though. He did.
He was very fond. I didn't care for that. Yeah. It was pretty good. Like, hey.
This drain is clogged, and he'd come over and he'd fix it, and then he'd say, you gotta quit putting hair down there. That's just what I do. Rubber bands. Yeah. They quit putting rubber bands in there.
Like, that's not us, buddy. I don't just go around putting rubber bands in the drain just to see what happens. There's a lot of people that have lived here before us that didn't that we're not putting rubber bands down the drain. Okay. Here's what they don't tell you about owning a home.
All of that stuff's your responsibility. Yeah. I don't care for it. And I also don't wanna spend my money on that stuff. K.
I don't we just spend a lot of money on a tree trim. Yeah. I don't wanna spend my money on that. I also don't wanna spend my money on pest control Yeah. Which we need to do.
I know. And I don't wanna do that. I don't wanna spend my money on that. There's bugs and spiders and stuff. Yeah.
I know. I don't why do I have to pay for it? I don't want to, but I need to. Well What do you hate spending your money on? I don't know.
Also food that goes to waste. Delicious. I don't care for that. I don't care for spending the money on food and then not using it. You're right.
I don't like that. Let's go buy groceries and then not eat it alone. Not using that. Yeah. And then the meat goes bad, and then you have to throw it away.
Or you buy produce and the kids don't eat it, and then you throw it away. Right. I don't like that. I don't like spending my money on that either. Yep.
I also don't like spending my money on gas. Well It should be free. It should be free. I like where your head's at. I know.
I just don't know how that would be possible. These are things I hate spending my money on. What about haircuts? Oh, I'm I'd like doing that. You like spending money on haircuts?
I just do it myself. Yeah. Well, that's easy for you. You just take the and razor it off, don't you? I could do that.
It could save us a lot of money. It's not cheap looking this good, Josh. Yeah. You could borrow the Could. And then be done.
They're called clippers. Oh. Not A razor. Well, that comes after the clippers. Then you and then you gotta get out the the polish and, you know, rub the towel back and forth and the whole thing.
I gotta spend a lot of money to look this good on the radio. You know? Oh, I know. Yeah. I know.
So Emery has kind of curtain bangs. Uh-huh. So she's got these bangs that come out to the side, and then she likes to curl them away from her face like curtains. Mhmm. And that's why they're called curtain bangs.
K. Now she had her hair curled the other day, and she was kinda fluffing it out. And I go, oh, give me Farrah Fawcett vibes. And she kinda laughed. And I said, do you know who Farrah Fawcett is?
And she said, no. So I pulled up a picture of Farrah Fawcett, and she goes, yeah. I do look like that. Yeah. So then I had to explain who Farrah Fawcett was and how old she was and when she was relevant.
And So they're doing the Farrah hair again? That's what Emory's doing. Well, I'm looking around at it, and I'm seeing a lot of people are doing the Farrah hair. Are they? Does that mean then that the Rachel is gonna come back in style?
It might. I don't know. I don't know. I said it like that. It might.
We might get the Rachel. 1 of our Okay. Wait. Iconic hairstyles may may see a resurgence. There's a lot of people doing the Farrah, you said?
I'm just looking I looked at Curtain Bangs Farrah, and there's a whole bunch of, like, new young hip people doing, the Farrah hair. I don't think they know that that's what they're doing. Think so either. And Emery's hair looked less like Farrah Fawcett than what Farrah Fawcett looks like. Because even even that, like, wolf cut thing Yeah.
Kinda gives a little Farrah. Yeah. Because she had a wolf cut for a while. Right. I don't know.
What other iconic hairstyles are there? The Rock? You're pulling that 1 off. That's just bald. You're killing it, Josh.
Yeah. I'm less raw than more uncle Fester. No. No. Get out of here.
Same haircut. Uncle Fester. Yeah. No. Yep.
First of all, he's not even a real person. Neither is the Ra Rachel. Or the Rachel. Yeah. Alright.
Of all That's fair. That's fair. She wasn't I thought for sure she would be mad that I compared her to an old seventies icon, but she was digging it. She was like, yeah. I'm here for it.
That's what I want my hair to look like. That's what my hair looks like. I'm here, deal with it Okay. Essentially. That's that's the vibe she was giving out.
I'm here. This is just me. This is what I look like. This isn't Farrah. This is me.
Okay. Well, I'm okay with it. I think it's a good style. Looks nice. That's all.
That's all I have to say, and I have nothing more to say. We have a piano, and in an effort for us to play it more and not use it to just stack stuff on top of because that's what it was becoming, just like a shelf. Mhmm. What'd you call it? A catchall.
Yes. You decided to just leave the top of it open so that the keys are exposed so that whenever anybody walks by, they could just Yeah. You know Play a little ditty. Those ivories. Yeah.
Which you do pretty often. Every time I walk by. Yep. And there's been times we've been waiting for you to leave because you're like, oh, I gotta play this song really quick. Here's what I don't care about you playing the piano.
I like Care about or care for? Care for. Okay. Here's what I don't care for Alright. When you play the piano.
You just like to play the songs that make me cry. No. Yes. That is not at all a motivator. I like to play different songs.
Yeah. But you've picked 3 songs that you know. No. Yes. I have just chosen songs.
I have not been like, what's gonna make her feel emotion? I'll choose that. I've just picked songs. They are songs that have come up recently that I've been like, I wanna learn how to play that. Or something that's stuck in my head, like the Star Wars theme or the Imperial March or Jurassic Park's theme.
Those ones don't make me cry. Right. I just pick. It's not personal. It feels personal when you start playing an American tail, the song from American tail.
It's just called somewhere out there. Yeah. I know. And it's it's a fun 1 to play. That made me cry when I was 5 years old, and I haven't stopped crying.
Not my problem. Then I didn't know that. You just said How is that my fault that it makes you cry? That is I play the piano, and I go, and then you go I don't. That's not my fault.
Don't do that. Then you decide to play the song from Up Yeah. Which that 1 makes everyone cry. I'm just learning it. And then you decide to play the song from inside out.
That's Emery's fault. Why is that Emery's fault? Because she was she brought up the notes and was like, okay. Play these notes. And so I played the notes she brought up.
I didn't know that's what it was. I think it's her fault then. I think she knows what songs make me all teary eyed, and she goes, I know how to get mom. Right. It's possible.
And then she's got a plan because then she goes, oh, she's emotional. Let's ask her for something I want. Oh, is that right? She won't be able to say no. She's playing you like a piano.
Hey, dad. You should, play this song. Play this really sad song. You should play the song that mom really likes. Yeah.
Oh, I'm sorry you're sad. You wanna buy me a treat? I you I actually do like when you play those songs. Well, then why are you calling me out about that? Because why you gotta play the songs that make me sad?
They're great. They're great songs, but they make me say out. We did something very exciting and fun over the weekend. What What was that? We bought a projector, and then we watched movie outside in our backyard.
Yeah. I got a smoking deal on a clearance projector. It came with a screen, and so, I used more paracord than necessary to hang the screen on the deck. And, and then, yeah, we set up the projector, and we watched a movie, a movie that, both Emery and I enjoy. And, Beck also giggled at, and you fell asleep through.
Yeah. I didn't care for that movie. It's a great movie. No. It's Disney's Rocket Man from, like, 1997.
It's a fantastic tale of a man in space. Okay. Here's what happened. What happened? We had a plan to watch a movie.
Emery and I did. And then when we brought that plan to you and Bec, both of you went, and we went, fine then. You guys pick something. And then we went through the entire library of movies. Yep.
All of them. Yep. All of movies ever made. Yep. We couldn't settle on any 1 thing.
And then all of a sudden, you just picked Rocketman. Yeah. And I went, okay. I guess we're watching this. It's a good 1.
No. It wasn't. It was terrible. It's a great movie. No.
That's why I fell asleep. I went, I can't. I'm gonna not watch this. Emery and I've been quoting it since. You have?
Yeah. Every time something happens in the house, wasn't me. Wasn't me. All the time. It's been fantastic.
The 2 of you like similar movies, though. Me and Beck have similar taste in movies. You and Emery are very much your movie style is very much the same. I still can't convince her to watch half the movies that I want her to watch, though. Like what?
I don't know. But what was great was at about halfway through, you were asleep, and Beck was like, you know, not interested. And something happened, and he got up and was moving around. And she looked back at me, and she said, we could have watched The Never Ending Story. And I said, I know.
Ew. Ew. No 1 else was even caring what we're watching. We could've watched The Never Ending Story. Could've picked a movie that we all liked.
Like The Never Ending Story. No. Rocket Man. Oh, you have bad taste in movies. No.
Yeah. Fantastic taste in the nostalgia. K. Well, next time I'm picking. Oh, great.
It's gonna be better than Rocket Man. How dare you? That's such a good movie. No. It isn't.
It's great. Don't waste your time. Emery was asking us over the weekend if we were a video game character, what would be our weapon of choice? Of choice. Our weapon of choice.
If we were a video game character. Yeah. If I was a video game character, what would be my weapon Of choice. Of choice. Yeah.
I picked, like, a spear. Why? Because then I won't have to get too close to anybody. I could just stab. That's still closer than I would want to be to someone.
And there are some great video game weaponry, and you've chosen a spear. Not a ray gun. Not, you know, anything you could launch from space and be that far away from somebody, a spear. Because then I don't have to touch them. What?
There's some flaws in your logic. I know, Josh. It was the first thing that came out. Of despair. Were you that excited about it?
Like, you'd been waiting for her to ask? How did that go? It was just the first thing. She told me Bayonet. It's a short spear.
What? That's just the weirdest choice. Spear. She she told me what she wanted, and I can't remember it was. And then she said a spear?
No. No. And then she said, I would drop a whip on them. Oh. And I don't know what that means, but I pretended to know.
So it's it's the whip nay nay. No. It isn't. Yes. It is.
Is it really? She's gonna drop a whip on them, and then nay nay. But I thought a whip was a car. Well, that's a that's, like, hip hop slang for a car. Right.
I'm trying to keep up with the kids' terms. You're not. And they say, look at the whip. Look at that whip, and that's your car. I've never heard a kid say that.
I have. I the only place I've ever heard that is on MTV Cribs back in the early 2000. Check out what happened. Whips. Uh-huh.
So when you say drive a whip on him, not it's not an actual whip. She's not using an Indiana Jones weapon. Nope. It's your arm goes out and turns over, so you go, and you kinda squat and lean back. Whip.
But what does it mean? It's from that song. But if you say to somebody, I'm gonna drop a whip on you. Yep. What does that mean?
That. No. That's her weapon of choice. And, apparently, that would make your foes fall down. Your foes.
Uh-huh. K. I'm looking this up. Oh, no. Good luck.
I'll I'll let you Google that. Hey. We're just proud of a lot of videos. I don't wanna watch People video. Doing that move I just showed you.
That's it. That's a worse move than a spear, by the way. Hey. Hey. Hey.
What? Spear is good, especially if it's extra sharp. Oh, boy. A national frozen dessert brand called 16 Handles. Have you heard of that?
16 Handles. Yes. No. I have not. They have come out with a new frozen yogurt flavor.
K. You're not gonna like it, but I'm kind of interested to try it. What is it? It is French fry frozen yogurt. Tastes like fries?
It tastes like fries dipped in frozen yogurt. Okay. Not my not my thing. It is totally my thing. You like, you like doing that with your frosty?
You like doing the French fry and the frosty thing? I don't like that. I like the sweet and the salty. I don't like them mixed. So good.
I like them individually, but I don't like them combined. Dip in those French fries in that ice cream. So good. It's so good. I guess.
I don't know what the french fry frozen yogurt is gonna taste like, but I'm interested to try it. Okay. Is this is not the same company that made, like, the mac and cheese ice cream and stuff like that. No. No.
No. No. This is a totally different group. Totally something different. K.
They are throwing a little bit of shade at McDonald's. Okay. You know how McDonald's always claims their ice cream machines are always out of order? Yes. Which they're not always They're promoting the new flavor by saying, sorry.
Our French fry machine is out of order. That's great. But we're handling it. That's funny. 16 Handles.
Yeah. I guess that's our name. Do you get it? No. I get it.
I don't know. I've never heard of this place, so I don't know where the closest 1 is. 16 handles. Look it up, Josh. Oh, it's okay.
Oh, Josh. Can you just buy them, home? I don't think you can. Or online? No.
It's a restaurant chain. Where's the closest 1? 0, no. Nowhere? You're not gonna find 1 No.
Anywhere? Never get this French. So I guess I'm just gonna have to eat French fries and dipped in ice cream. I guess. Texas.
That's the closest 1. Well, just remember, next time you're in Texas. Frisco, Texas. Next time you're in Frisco, Texas, you can get yourself some French fry froyo. I'll just do it myself, I guess.
Dip those You've been doing fine so far. You know what's interesting is I like What's that, Chantel? I like French fries dipped in ice cream, but tater tots dipped in ice cream? Ew. That sounds awful, doesn't it?
Yeah. But how So does a French fry. No. They're delicious. No.
It's the same. You're wrong, bro. Uh-uh. I'm not. Somebody needs to your taste buds are broken.
No. Just fine. There was a woman from Washington, DC, and she bought a vase at a thrift store for $4. 399. I bet this thing's worth some cash.
I don't know how much cash it's worth, but it was discovered to be a 2 1000 year old Mayan artifact. That's amazing. And instead of trying to sell it for a lot of money, she actually gave it to Mexico so that they can use it in a museum. Well, that was nice of her. That was nice.
I mean, that feels like the right thing, and she's only out $4. Right. And she said when she first bought it, she was like, oh, this looks old. Maybe 20, 30 years, like a tourist reproduction of something. So she picked it up $4, took it home, and then she went on a work trip to Mexico when she visited the Museum of Anthropology.
Yeah. And some of the artifacts there looked a lot like her vase, and she went, I think I have 1 of these at home. Yep. And they were like, no. You don't.
She's like, no. For real. For real. I got it for $4. So it dates back between 208100 AD.
Wow. So it's 2000 years old. It's pretty incredible. So she she said this is actually probably best that I gave it back to That feels right. Mexico because her curse It's the curse.
Oh, the curse? Yeah. What's the curse? It's good that she gave it back. Well, she said it was good to give it back because she's got little boys, and she was like, I just knew they were gonna break it.
Yeah. But also the curse. You can't be carrying that around. I read Goosebumps. I know.
Goosebumps. The Mayan the Mayan vase is cursed. It probably is. Yeah. And now just because she gave it back doesn't mean that the curse has ended.
Well, it's ended for her. No. It hasn't. Whoever originally took it is now in trouble. She's still cursed.
No. She's still the curse. It's still in her house. No. No.
It didn't attach. It didn't have time. She did the right thing. There was a person who just started working at a fast food place. Uh-huh.
And their manager took their phone at the start of their 1st shift and said, you can have this back at the end of the day. Is this a supervisor or former teacher, principal involved in the education system at some point? I don't know the answer to that. That feels very, it feels very, much like that kind of a setting. So the person I don't know if it's a he or she.
The person who was working and had their phone confiscated asked an advice columnist, is this allowed? And they I don't know that it's not allowed. They according to a lawyer, it is legal as long as they don't use unlawful force to take it. Yeah. I would say if it's a if it's a company policy Yeah.
That's the thing. You don't do not carry a cell phone with you look. This is this is no different. I mean, there are government agencies in this area Yes. That you they're like, you cannot bring a phone on premises.
You just cannot. Yeah. So it depends on local laws and company policy. Right. But in general, they can make you give up your phone and hold it until your shift is over.
They just can't wrestle it away from you or steal it. And they also can't search it because that would be illegal search and seizure. So there there are laws to protect you from, you know, your to protect your privacy. But as far as a policy saying you cannot have a phone on you, you cannot have this distraction while you're at work. Those kinds of things, I think, are totally legal.
Yeah. Maybe not popular, but just because you don't like it Doesn't mean that they can't do it. Yeah. So, you know, I I think there are certain jobs where that would be like, look. You're you're there.
You don't need a distraction. It'll be there when you go on break. Right. You can use it then, but you don't need it, like, buzzing in your pocket while you're trying to take orders from people or, you know, if you're working around hot oil or something. Like, there's no reason.
Can you imagine if you're at a job and your boss is like, hey. I'm gonna need to take your phone. You can have it back at the end of the day. And you're like, no. No, buddy.
No. In this profession, I'd be like they, like, wrestle it away from you, so you're wrestling your foe. That's that That's a problem. Yeah. That's a problem.
In this profession, they'd be like, you're gonna need to not, have your phone on you. And I'm gonna be like, how am I supposed to make half the stuff I need to make for the Internet? Yeah. Exactly. Because that's how where I make it.
Yeah. I can't do parts of my job unless I have my phone. Right. So this is is a this is a different kind of environment than, you know At my other job Mhmm. A lot of the communication happens via text messages.
Sure. So if you take my phone away Yeah. No. I don't Hey. But then Nothing would be a good idea.
You know what I'm saying? Oh, can't answer you. Oh, I didn't know. You took away my phone. I didn't know you needed that.
Don't have it. I don't have my texting. You took away my phone. What? How do you respond if you're not good and somebody says, how are you?
And you're not feeling good. You should just be honest. If somebody says, how are you? Hey. How's it going?
And you're not having a great day, you should just say, you know, not not my best day. Try that. Is that how you would respond? If you weren't having a great day and you felt like they were genuinely interested in listening and and concerned about your well-being, then, yes, be honest. If it's in passing and you're, like, putting a card away and, or you hand the card off to the guy who works at the store and he goes, hey.
How are you? And you go, oh, good. And then you leave. That's like a he doesn't really he's not there to be like, you need a shoulder. Maybe he is, though.
Maybe, but probably not. So I would say you gotta gauge the situation, gauge the relationship, read the room. Here are the best responses. If you're not feeling so great Yeah. Here's some of the best.
K. And not too bad. Alright. Can't complain. But then if if somebody sees that as an opportunity to go, what's going on?
That's the that'd be their priority. The next step? Yeah. If you were like, yeah, you know, not so good. And they were like, well, cheer up.
And then, like, boy, you put you put people in kind of a weird situation because they're probably just doing it as a passive friendly thing. Right. And so if you're like, actually, let me tell you. And you go, oh, no. I just want it.
I was I got to go. Just being polite. I'm just in the hallway going to my office. Meh is a good 1. Meh.
Yeah. How's it going? Meh. I've heard that. Another day in paradise?
Just another day in paradise. There's there's a couple where I go, oh, just living the dream. Living in the rain. Yep. Or another day in paradise.
Yeah. There's a few of them where I go, like, stop. I'm alive. Yeah. Upright.
How's it going? Well, better to be above ground than under it. Here's 1 that I've never heard. Uh-huh. Same panic, different disco.
Wow. That's that's an interesting 1. Or same soup, just reheated. What? Just different versions of Of of same stuff, different day.
Yeah. Same thing? Okay. Same hoop soup. Just reheated.
I like that 1. Yep. Same hoop, different hula. How about you just don't use any words? Just cry you just start crying.
Yeah. Yeah. That'll do. Hey. How's it going?
I gotta go. I was just going to my office. I like this 1 too. The horror persists. The horror persists.
There you go. Oh, it's a Monday. That's a hard 1 to say. The horror persists. Again, if you're asking that to a coworker, hey.
How's your day? The horror. The nightmare. The horror. It persists.
That's very dramatic. Maybe we just keep saying fine. Yeah. That was pretty good. Yeah.
Fine. Yep. Good. Good morning. Hello?
Hello. It's would you rather time. Is it already? No way. Yeah.
Way, bud. Really? Yeah. Would you rather this or that? Josh and Chantel.
I have no idea. Push the music. I didn't even know. We're there. We're there already.
Would you rather have 4 arms or 4 legs? 4 arms. Why? Well, I have 4 arms. Uh-huh.
And 2 of them. Oh, that's that part of that arm. You already have 4 arms. 4 arms. So you want 4 legs.
Is that what you're saying? Yeah. It's kinda like arm calves are your forearms. Arm calves. Well, yeah, this would be your arm thigh, and this would be your arm calves.
Your bicep is your arm thigh? Right. And so this would be my leg bicep, and this would be my forearm leg foreleg. So would I rather have forearms or forelegs? I already have forearms, so I guess I would have forelegs.
Stop. Stop. Stop. Stop. Stop.
Stop. And just answer the question. 4 arms. Yeah. Why?
Get more done. I was thinking the same thing. Yeah. Can you imagine what you could do with 4 arms? Look.
I push buttons. Doing the dishes, you could I push buttons. Yeah. And I have to interact with all of this for volumes and things. Yeah.
And then, you know, on and offs. Sometimes I have to run this keyboard and mouse, and then I also have this keyboard and mouse over here. Okay. So if I had 4 arms, the things I can do in here because I was thinking the same thing. Like, I could be reading a book while cooking dinner, but you still have to look at what you're doing.
So you would need more eyes. No. I would have to glance because I I can look here. I can look all over and multitask and make sure I'm doing all these things at once. So I'm good with that part.
It would just be it would be the natural thing. Just like these 2 arms, I don't have to watch every little move they make. I would have just 2 more arms to do the more stuff. 4 arms. Me too, bud.
Me too. It's Josh and Chantel. You're better today than yesterday daily challenge. This is a pretty good 1. We've been talking about it for a long time.
