Enjoy today's show. Classy 90 7. It is Josh and Chantel here. Hello. Hey.
Good morning. Good morning. Alright. So today is, World Drug Day because understanding the dangers and effects of substances is crucial for making informed choices and protecting your health. This is about prescription drugs.
Oh. So that's kind of a big deal. It is National Stitch Day as in Lilo and Stitch. Oh. Mhmm.
He gets his own day? Apparently. Yeah. Alright. It's beauticians day today and world refrigeration day.
Don't take for granted the fridge. I don't. I never do. Not we haven't always had refrigeration, so it's a big deal. Well, we have.
Okay. Society hasn't vanity. You and me have not. Right. We've always had refrigeration.
Right. I've never had to dig a hole Right. And put I was born with refrigeration. True. True.
True. Don't take it for granted, though. I don't. Alright. It's chocolate pudding day today, which is delicious.
It is, national canoe day as well. Canoe? Mhmm. You rode in a canoe Yes. While I paddled the canoe.
How dare you? How dare I? I canoed. I paddled. I paddled.
Is it called that? I canoed? I canoed. I don't think that's the right word. But would you say I went canoeing?
You went canoeing for 50 miles. I canoed a lot. And you got people lost. To We weren't lost. We just ended up not where we were supposed to be.
Oh, 0, my bad. So sorry. Like, you it's really hard to get lost on a reservoir. Like, the reservoir is just a big body of water. That'd be like I got lost on in this puddle.
Just a bigger puddle. Okay. I'm so sorry. It's fine. I'm over it.
Sounds like it. Good morning. It's Josh and Chantel. Those are the only days? That's it.
Refrigeration day, chocolate pudding day, and stitch day? Mhmm. Wow. Okay. Here it is.
Happy Wednesday. Happy Wednesday. We're 1 of those people. We're 2 of those people that name our cars. Yeah.
Yeah. We do that. There's some people who don't do that, but we're I grew up people. With, with cars had names. I did not, but I like it.
I think it's fun. There are 3 things that people consider when naming their car. What are they? Do you know what they are? No.
What are they? Oh, let me tell you. Okay. Personality. Of the vehicle?
Of the vehicle. Alright. Followed by make and model K. And then how it performs. Alright.
For example, personality, we named we had an Xterra. We named it Maxwell. Right. That had nothing to do with the personality other than it was an Xterra, so it had the x in it, and so did Maxwell. Well, and at the time, there was that commercial with that little pig.
Correct. And his name was Maxwell. And Emery loved that commercial. So it just made sense? It made sense.
And then we called it Max. Right. My car currently is named Zippy because it's real fast. Right. Or, Flink.
We called it Flink for a while because that's Zippy in German. And the car is a Volkswagen. Yeah. We're clever. I know.
We're so clever. Yeah. What I don't have a name yet. You don't have a name yet? No.
Well, we kind of didn't really settle on a name for your last truck either. Well, yeah. I know. I mean, we were like, yeah. We could call it Lily.
It was called Lily for a while. Something to do with the paid forward movement and Oh, because all that. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah.
Yeah. Yeah. Anyway and it was white, so that just made sense. But it never really stuck because it wasn't that truck's personality. Right.
So I gotta get to know the vehicle a little bit more. I can't I can't rush in. You don't know its personality? Not yet. This 1, you don't know its personality.
So I'm gonna I'm gonna I'm gonna learn. Tundra. Can it's a tundra. What could we kind of fun thing can we do with tundra? I know.
I know. Ton. I'll think about it. Ton. Nothing's it's too early.
I know. Nothing's rolling off the top. Creativity isn't flown. I did have a card named Margaret, but it was pre named. It was named Margaret.
Came with that name. But but it didn't fit. It did fit. We just kept the name. Margaret was great.
That's like when you when you, you know, adopt a dog. Like, okay. The dog's name is this, has been this. We should probably just stick with that. Keep it.
Yeah. Especially if it fits and it works. Unless it's young enough that if you change the name, it'll start learning a different name. I don't know. Anyway I don't think cars are gonna unlearn their names.
Yeah. No. They're they don't, they don't usually do what you tell them. They don't They don't live creatures. So True.
True. True. True. True. True.
Let me tell you about this airport dating hack that's been going around. Are people dating at the airport? They're trying to. How's this work? Well okay.
And it's just 2 women. I'm really confused. 2 women went looking for boyfriends using luggage tags at the airport. Oh, is that right? They grabbed a bunch of tags and wrote their phone number on them along with their name that said, call me if you're single.
Then they tied them to random suitcases at baggage claim. Oh, no. This this feels very dangerous. Yes. And, also, how would you feel if I pulled my bag off baggage claim and there was a tag that said call me if you're single?
I'd say, where'd that come from? And I would honestly be able to say, I have no idea. It's my bag has been under the plane Right. This whole time. I don't know who put that there.
Also, who's leaving their bag unattended long enough for, somebody to sneak a tag on? Good point. That is a big no no at the airports. You're not supposed to leave your bag unattended. Go on with the story.
Go on with the story. That is it. That's it? The whole story. Now these 2 women are actually a country pop duo called Heartland Ray.
Okay. And they're, quote, Internet famous. I've never heard of them. Yeah. Well They can be that Do you run around in country music circles on the Internet?
No. Good point. Yeah. Your algorithm isn't bringing you whatever their name was. No.
Country is not my jam. So I'm not hanging out where Hartland Ray Right. Is hanging out. Alexis and Julia. Mhmm.
I think Alexis and Julia might have made this up. Well, duh. Yeah. They did. But No.
Not just as a concept. I think the video itself Oh. That this whole story is based on You think it's all? I think it's a publicity thing. People don't leave their bags unattended long enough for that to be a thing.
It's it's made up. When we were just recently at the airport in April, there was a woman who was sitting by us, and she said, hey. Can you guys watch my bags? Really quick. We look trustworthy.
So I can go to the restroom, and I went Oh. That is the you're not supposed to do that. Right. But then I went she goes, I I know. She goes, it's just I've got 3 bags.
I got a big coat because she had just come back from skiing. Yep. She's like, I don't wanna truck all this to the bathroom and stuff it. And they make those airport bathrooms big enough that you can put your luggage in there, but it is kind of a pain in the butt to truck it all into the bathroom stall with you, and then you have to put it while you're washing your hands. It's hard.
You're exhausted just thinking about it. Yes. Yeah. Ugh. Ugh.
Airport bathroom. Ugh. But you're right. I think that nobody leaves their suitcases unattended Nope. Long enough Nope.
To do that. Unless because you know how, like, when the bags come out of baggage claim, they're just going around. And there's some bags that do get pulled off because they've been going around so many times that there are unattended bags there at baggage claim. So many people encircling baggage claim. Even if they if they pulled off somebody's bag just at random, they have no idea whose bag it is, which is what you said they were doing, just random.
Yeah. Somebody's the the likelihood of someone standing there going, why'd you grab my bag? Nobody yeah. That's fair. If it's It's not real.
It's it just isn't real. Everything on the Internet is real. Not this 1. This is all real. No way.
Not this 1. Do you kinda wanna try it? Nope. Josh. No.
I'm good. Call me if you're single. I'm not single. 555. 555.
555. 55555. Good news to get you going, Chantel. What is it, Josh? Well, today, I'm gonna tell you about, this charity called Winston's Wish.
Okay. They are in England, and they support kids who have lost a parent or someone important in their life, and they recently received an unexpected gift. They got an envelope with $1200 cash. It was delivered to Winston's Wish with no return address label, and the donation was completely anonymous. No.
So after doing a little bit of digging, Winston's Wish learned that there were 4 charities, at least, so far anyway, that have received an envelope filled with cash just like the, other recipients of the random cash donations. It was sent in a large folded over envelope, handwritten address, no return address, big amounts of cash. That's awesome. They don't know who it's from. They have no clue.
They they have no idea who sent the money. Nobody sends me envelopes of cash. You are correct. The donations are suspected to be from the same anonymous person because they seem very similar. Right.
1 of the leaders of the charity Winston's Wish, her name is Olivia The charity is for again? They, support kids who have lost a parent or someone important in their life. Okay. So 1 of the leaders of the charity, named Olivia said that the donation will help fund the charity's helpline. She also arranged for a photo shoot with some children wearing Winston's Wish T shirts holding a thank you excuse me, a thank you sign, with the hopes that through social media, that post would reach the generous person who sent the cash.
Yeah. So at least they'd know that they were told thank you. Aw. That's so cool. Yeah.
I like that. Random anonymous cash donations to charity. Just showing up. Just making it happen. Somebody, well done, whomever you are.
What a great random anonymous act of kindness. That's very cool. That is cool. So Aw. Keep it up if you can.
That's cool. And Winston's Wish, Congratulations on the donation. And the other 3 charities as well. I don't know who they were, but congratulations to them as well. Doing good work.
It's good news to get you going on Classy 90 7. I saw something this morning, and I had to ask you the question because, it's an interesting 1 to me. And the question is, you can have 5, 000 of anything that starts with the letter y, what are you gonna choose? Okay. I thought the first things that came to my mind were yo yo, yams.
Yarn? Oh, yarn. I didn't think about it. 1, 000 yarn skeins? No.
That's too much yarn. It's too much of everything. It's too much of everything. 1, 000 of anything is a lot. You're right.
And then I was like, okay. I gotta think of something that I can sell. Okay. And then I thought about Yeezy's. Which is, Kanye West's shoe wear?
Yes. Which I think doesn't exist anymore because Really? He was partnered with Adidas, and they or somebody. And Oh, crap. They had a whole falling out.
So then he was like, I'm gonna work with somebody else. I I imagine they're just in high demand. But, anyway, you want 5, 000 pairs of shoes? Yeah. Because then I'll just sell them and make money.
Alright. So along the same lines, 5, 000 yachts. They'll sell for a lot more than a pair of shoes. That, Josh. But what are you gonna do with them?
Sell them. What are you gonna do with 5, 000 pairs of shoes? The those are easier to contain than 5, 000 yachts. There's not enough ocean property for you to rent. There is.
I don't need to. I'm gonna move these things quick. Are you? You think you're gonna find 5, 000 people to buy yachts? I don't have to sell them at yacht prices.
I was given them 100% profit. 5000 yachts. That's a great idea. No way, ma'am. 1 person said You're gonna be swimming in yachts with nowhere to put them.
I'm gonna be boating in yachts, not swimming. Be above the water. Someone said 5000 years' worth of income. That starts with a y, which I thought was interesting. And then somebody put it into perspective and said, if you make $100, 000 per year Uh-huh.
For 5000 years, That will put you halfway to being a billionaire. Wait. What is it? $100, 000 per year Yeah. For 5000 years will put you at halfway to being a 1, 000, 000, 000.
Halfway. Sheesh. That's a lot. A $1, 000, 000, 000 is so much money. Yeah.
It is. Insane. It is. So that's that's wild. I wanna be a billionaire.
Somebody said they want 5, 000 Yamahas. Oh. They make lots of different stuff. They do. Somebody said Yaks.
Somebody said Yedis. Somebody said Yogurt. Yaks? What are you gonna do with yaks? Also, 5, 000 yogurts, those are gonna expire before you could eat them all.
Somebody said years of compound interest on my current savings. These are too logical. K. What about 5, 000 Yankovic? As in Weird Al.
Now. 5, 000 Yankovic. No. It's too much. Hey.
I saw a toy speaking of Yankovic, I saw a toy accordion the other day. I'm gonna buy it. I know. I know you are. 5000 Yodas.
No. I don't like any of these options. Yellow gold bars. What about 5000 yearbooks? Okay.
What are you gonna do with that? And is it just random, or is it just 5, 000 copies of your high school senior year? You decide. Ugh. Yeah.
Those those are awful. Somebody said, I thought I wanted 5, 000 yen, but that works out to $31.29. Know. But that's $31.29 you did not have before. True.
True. Yurts. 5000 yurts. You could also rent those out. Sure.
Or I could get 5, 000 yachts and make the money way quicker. Bro, you don't have space to house those. Need it. It's all profit. I understand that.
Then it's somebody else's profit. Have to house them until you sell them. For 1 day. No way, dude. You're not gonna you're not gonna sell those in 1 day.
Bet. I bet you. I bet I could sell 5, 000 yachts in 1 day. Alright. The same way that you're gonna land a plane if you need to.
Yes. Mhmm. I've had practice. I could do it with a PlayStation controller if I had to. I don't like listening to EDM music.
Yeah. I don't even know what it stands for. Electronic dance. Music. Uh-huh.
It just sounds like noise. So when you say EDM music, you're saying electronic dance music music? Yeah. Mhmm. Well, it's fine.
You say it sounds like noise? It just sounds like too much noise. It's chaotic. There's not enough rhythm. There's it's just it's chaos.
I don't enjoy it. And then you called me out last night and said, I think the reason that you don't like it is because you listen to music for the lyrics. Right. You're a lyrical, type person. You get you get really into the words of a song, and that helps you decide whether or not you're going to, like it or add it to a playlist.
I think there's a general sound where a song you're gonna go like, yeah. I like the I like the way this makes me feel. I like that it makes me dance. Gotta catch it. Whatever.
Yeah. But you, as far as a quality of song is concerned, you'll go like, no. This song pulls on my heart strings. Or Yeah. You have a whole band that you love that just speaks to my heart.
Like, you you say stuff like that. Like, their songs show you like he's writing it for me. Not anymore. His new stuff is terrible. It doesn't matter.
The the point is, I would say the point is that you are way more in tune with the lyrics Okay. Than, than anything else. I agree with you. But is that to say does EDM have lyrics? Sure.
They use samples from songs to put in to put lyrics in. Yeah. Get your own music, EDM. Quit stealing music from other people. I've been trying to find, something as a good example, but, it's taking me too long.
A good example of what? Of some medium that you might be into. No. It's taking me too long to find it. Yeah.
You'll never find it. Okay. Listen. There there are songs that fall into the category that you would be into, like this. You know?
You're totally into, like, Rockefeller skank from that voice list. I don't think that I am. No? No. But then there's even, like, like, EDM covers of stuff like Ed Sheeran, but it's got that, like, beat to it.
So yeah. No. So it's No. I really don't like it. No.
Even if you like the song that's being sampled in the EDM world. Yeah. Is that true? Heat waves, but EDM. Alright.
Let me listen. Heat waves Yeah. By glass animals? Yeah. But it's got that EDM beat.
No. No. No. I really don't. I don't.
Do feel like it's ruined the song. Yes. I can pick that up. So you're just not a big fan of EDM? I am not.
And I think you were trying to convince me too like it last night, and I just never the second it comes on, my head starts to hurt. I go, now I have a headache. Alright. Now you've done this. I think I wasn't necessarily trying to get you to like it.
I was trying to get you to change your perspective to give it a chance. Oh. No. I didn't do well for that. Is that right?
Well, there's a These young people and their electronic dancing young woman who works here, and she likes EDM. And she called me a grandma for not liking it, and that's okay. These young kids and their music, I just don't know. They're speaking Head banging? They don't headbang the EDM.
I don't know. What do they do? Jumping up and down? No. They do the rave thing, don't they, with glow sticks?
You're looking at me like I know. Like this. It's like a fluid, like, move your arm. Maybe you should give it a shot. Give what a shot?
EDM. No. I don't want to. Sticks. No.
You might be into it. You seemed kinda into it. I don't want to be. Okay. Well, 1 more shot?
Why? Who is it? What is it? Oh, I don't have I don't have it pulled up. I'm just saying.
I just want you to give it 1 more chance, but with dancing. Why can't I just dance the glow sticks to the music I like to listen to? That sounds better. I guess. Quit trying to convince me to like EDM.
Never. Never. We posted a video on Facebook yesterday. Yeah. And I received a nice compliment that I have to share because I have often been told that I have a very annoying laugh.
Who's told you that? Oh, lots of people. Who in your whole life has ever told you that besides yourself? There you don't believe me. I don't believe anyone has ever said your laugh is annoying.
Let me tell you that there was a guy, and his name was JT. Okay. And he lived in the dorms where I lived. So that guy, that 1 guy. To my face, that's the only person who's telling me 1 guy who do you ever see him since then?
No. No. So cool. But when I listen back to stuff that we've talked about, I go, oh, that's an annoying laugh. So I tell myself.
So that 1 guy's misinformed insult to you Yes. Is is the thing that makes you determine that you a a an annoying laugh. So the there was a comment made on the video that we posted that said Chantel's laugh is actually the best. And that made me feel really good. And so I just wanted to publicly say thank you to that person because that was really nice, and that made me feel really good.
And even though I go, it's kind of annoying, but thank you for the compliment. There we go. Here's here's, an interesting thing. Can can we, for a minute, just put away the the 1 that happened 20 whatever years ago Yeah. It's been a long time.
And and erase that now Okay. And replace it with this nice compliment of your laugh being the best. So that from now on, moving forward, when you listen to yourself or hear yourself having a good joyous time Right. Laughing and having fun, You remember the compliment, and that guy, whoever that guy is JT. Whatever.
Doesn't matter. It happened forever ago, and it was 1 dude's opinion. Yeah. That dude wasn't even nice. So put it away.
Thank you. Therapy session with Josh and Chenda. Man. Also, here's the thing. Like, I I've heard before that a person's laugh is like their real genuine laugh is like their unfiltered version of themselves.
Soul. And I like that. I think that's awesome. So I genuinely try to when people laugh, go, ah, that's like the real version of you. Right.
And I've heard on the Internet many, many laughs that I go, wow. Wow. But I but I'm not that. I'm a different JT. You are a JT.
Right. A better And this JT doesn't go that guy should get a different laugh. I go, that guy's laugh is very unique, and I've never heard anyone laugh like that. He told me this other JT told me that I did it too much and too loudly. Awesome.
Yeah. So you enjoy having fun and laughing. Yeah. And that guy doesn't. No.
He doesn't. So who cares about that guy 20 years ago? Nobody. Nobody. That's who.
Every asked us yesterday what our awkward years were. She oh, sorry. That was my microphone. She wanted to know when our most awkward years were. And I said, have they stopped?
Yeah. Are they supposed to have stopped? I feel like my awkward stage happened, like, 5th, 6th grade. Yeah. That's probably when I was just I'm a gangly weirdo.
I still feel that way. I'm 4th grade. Gangly weirdo? Oh, no. But I feel it most happened.
Yeah. 5th I initially said 7th grade, and then I said, no. 6th, 7th. And then I said, no. 5th, 6th, 7th, 8th, 9th.
No. All the time. Yeah. 5th yeah. I think I think 5th grade was like a it's it it there's a there's a movie that you have to go watch.
There's a whole thing that happened, and it was just an awkward time to be a human. The the class photo looks weird. Yep. Your teeth have like, you don't have all your adult teeth sometimes. Sort things out.
Crooked, but you don't wanna get braces just yet. So you got jaggedy teeth. I didn't have jaggedy teeth. Oh, I didn't either. You did?
I did. You had jaggedy teeth? Have jaggedy teeth, but I sucked my thumb for a really long time, and so I had an overbite. But it was still it was too early for me to get braces, so I just had, like, a really big overbite. So, yeah, I had, like Had?
Aw. I spent a lot of money on these teeth. You don't man. You don't still have an overbite Don't tell my manager. Imagine if you did.
You just never got that straightened out as an adult. I probably yeah. I don't know. I don't feel like I ever grew out of that awkward stage, though. Do you?
Yeah. You feel put together? Way more than I did in the 5th grade. Yeah. I feel like I got a few things going for me that I did not have going for me in the 5th grade.
Congratulations. Yeah. If you look at yearbook photos, though, everyone it just everyone is going through that rough patch. Honestly, I think 5th to at least 8th grade, it's a rough time for everyone. I would agree.
That that window in time, 5th grade through 8th grade is hard, awkward. You're trying to figure out friendships. You you grew up with kids in elementary school. They throw you into a middle school where there's a bunch of different new people. No.
It was 1 middle school for me. So It was the same kid. But only slightly bigger than Burley. But I went to 3 different elementary schools because they redrew boundaries, so you'd meet new people, whatever, and then you end up going into a a the junior high at the time. That was all of the elementary schools.
So you got to see people that you didn't, like, remember from elementary school to people that were brand new, to people that were like, holy cow. I haven't seen you in a 100 years. But people move and people change, and there's so much going on in that time. There's a lot going on. I think there's just some people that are better at faking that they have it together than others.
Is that right? Oh, yeah. Because there's girls, at least in my middle school, that I would look at and go, oh, man. How come she doesn't have any awkwardness? She looks so put together.
Did you say that No. In my 7th grade, you're like, that that girl has it all together. You never said that. No. But I'd say we had horrible PE uniforms.
Our colors in junior high were green and yellow. Okay. And we had yellow, like, mustard yellow shorts and green T shirts that we had to wear. Yeah. And then there was always, like, 5 girls who could make it work, and I'd be like, oh, man.
How come they look good in green and yellow? Do you have therapy today? You built a wall of computers up, so I can't even see. Like, you just wanted to not look at me, I guess. Alright.
So here's here's what's going on See. Look. In the studio. See it. Yeah.
Because you ducked down. I can do that too. Barely. Like, it barely nodded my head, and you're gone. Listen.
I used to have a clear view of you. And I used to have a crink in my neck that I'm trying to deal with because the studio has been, built, I don't know, in the eighties. I don't know I don't know what what else to say about it. The screens were not ergonomically located. Ergonomically?
Yeah. Ergonomically. So I've, done some feng shui in here to make it a little more, livable. So for for a while, I had, an office space. And so when we got done with the show at 10, I would go to an office space where I had a desk.
I would sit down, and I would work on Right. All the rest of the stuff that happens, and I would be in and out of the studio. Well, over the course of the last couple of months or so, things have changed to where I'm now based in the studio pretty much all the whole day, except for some meetings and things that happen outside of here. And the, computer monitors, there's I have 5 of them that I have to use during the show, and you have 2. So there are 7 monitors in here going, to make radio happen.
And they were all all the ones I had to work with were all stacked, and they were all on 1 side of the room. Yeah. So my my head was turned I know. And then up and you know, cranked up and down the whole time. I know.
So And you've been complaining about back pain Yeah. And neck pain. There's a mole. Blah blah blah blah. Yesterday, I was, like, very inspired to do some rearranging, and I said, I'm gonna make this feel a little more comfortable to work in since I'm in here pretty much the whole day.
I'm gonna block my view of Chantel. That's what you really said. It's an unfortunate side effect of, rearranging is that I I don't have a full direct line of sight to you. I Now what's going on on your side, though? How are you feeling about your side?
I feel like I I like the computer setup that you've done, so I appreciate that. I feel like I've lost some counter space. You seem to think that I have more, but I don't. I also I I get ready here in the mornings. I have makeup and a mirror and a curling iron, and I had a nice little perch where I could put my mirror.
Yeah. And it would fall over, and then we get hit with the microphone. No. And it would go collater collater collater. Rarely.
Rarely that happens. At least once a No. No. Like, once a month, maybe. Maybe twice a month.
May maybe once a week. No. Yeah. It did not happen that often. 3 to 4 times a month.
No. Sometimes 5 depending on how many weeks there were in that month. It's fine. Now I don't have anywhere to put my mirror. I had to put it over I know.
What am I supposed to do? Now I just look like a mess all day? Or wake up at 4? That's never gonna happen. It's not gonna happen.
So you have called it the wall of computers, and that's not inaccurate. It's It's, it's it's quite the quite the the thing to look at. 5 monitors kind of wrapping around in a semicircle around me. I feel like I'm in some kind of mission control I know. Which is kinda cool.
It's it's pretty neat. I'll take a this is I'm gonna take a picture of you from my eyesight. This is what I see. K. Chick.
And then hand me your your phone here. K. I'm gonna take 1 from my point of view. From your eyesight. Yep.
This is right here in my eyeballs. Alright? That's what I can see. K. Now if I don't wanna talk to you Yeah.
I'll just Which is perfect. Put my head down. You're still talking So it So it works out. We could get 1 of these in the house. For which room?
Every room. Wall of computers in every room. And then I'll just really get to know your forehead. I okay. That is a very large forehead that you took a picture of.
It's not. It kind of is. It's not. And I also feel like the picture that I took of you, you, like, raised your head a little. You did.
I did ET now. I can only see I can only see your eyes, but in this picture, you I can see your nose and mouth. Yeah. So that's a lie. You make it seem like I can see more of you, but I can't.
I think you can see enough. You're right. III can always see enough of you. Right. And you're hiding.
You're you you you keep dipping down. I don't maybe sit up. There it is. Look at that. Hi.
I may not be able to see you so well over the wall of computers, but you know what I can see? What's that? This squirrel family this morning, they keep running up and down the, the the like, right in my peripheral, out of the corner of my eye. They run along this little wall that's outside. I see that.
There were, like, 5 or 6 of them this morning as we were kinda getting things going, and I, I was watching them kind of run all over the place. And they just kept another 1, another 1, another 1. I'm like, how many there's a whole family out there. What I don't enjoy because I enjoy the squirrels too. I see them quite often, but because it's right outside the window that I sit by.
But there is a wall of trees right outside the window. Yeah. There is lilac trees. There was a plum tree. There still is.
There still is. But because the trees were over on the radio station property Right. The owner decided to trim them. Not the owner, but the the landscaper. The landscaper decided to trim them.
And trimmed them so far back that now it just looks like a bunch of dead stumps. And it looks I hate it so much. I don't know. I think it's fine. And I feel like the squirrels ate it too because now they're pretty much No way.
They open. They like it because they can run right along that. They don't have the the trees obstructing their their route. It just looks uglier than it did. I don't know.
Because I think look. There was the initial shock of the trim, but I think now that the leaves have grown in, it it like, by this time next year, you're not even gonna notice. I'm gonna make a note that you said that. Okay. Write it down.
I did. True you didn't. But true true fact right there. Like, it's not gonna be all big and giant and heavy over the wall like it was I liked that. Earlier this spring and last year.
It was too much. No. It wasn't. Yeah. It needed to be cut back.
No. It didn't. Yeah. Disagree. Well, okay.
It's better. It's better for the health of the tree. It's it's all good. It'll be more fruit and flower bearing and plus the squirrels line. I kinda like the wall of computers because when I just don't wanna hear what you have to say, I can just You can still hear it.
You're wearing headphones. You can't escape what I'm saying. You just can't see me saying it. Okay. Then I'll maybe just take off the headphones.
Okay. Oh. So now now you just hear me talking in the room. You you still can hear me. You're gonna have to plug your ears Dang it.
Or leave the room. Dang it. Yeah. Do you believe it's, been 3 weeks since the Teton Pass had its catastrophic failure? 3 weeks?
It's been 3 weeks. Oh, time is crazy. Isn't that wild? It doesn't seem like that long. I totally agree with you.
A week. 3 cities, those being, Driggs, Victor, and Jackson. Those 3 cities anxiously anticipating the reopening of the past. You said you read something that said that people that were commuting from Driggs to Jackson Yeah. The long way because you have to go all the way around, and then down to Alpine and then up the Hoback Junction.
Yeah. It's a whole thing. Took hours and hours. It's hours. Yeah.
And it's, it's about 20% of the town of Jackson's workforce that commutes from Idaho every day. That's a lot of people. Lot of commuters. Yeah. And, of course, Driggs and Victor classic 90 7 when they're commuting.
Yeah. Hi. Driggs and Victor obviously benefit big from the crowds, that draw or drawn to Jackson and not having the pass open there, they've seen a decline. The the mayor of Victor, they say says they've estimated they've lost about $600, 000 a day in the city of Victor alone just because there aren't people coming through to go that way to Jackson. So How much a day?
He said they're losing about $600, 000 a day. Woo. Yeah. It's pretty wild. Right?
But here's the good news. As of yesterday, they have begun paving their, their fix, the the new kind of turn they put in Yeah. Where the failure happened. And so they are anticipating, reopening of the Teton Pass in on Friday in 2 days. Do you trust it?
Okay. Now that's an interesting question because there is, a councilwoman from Jackson named Jessica Chambers who she wrote a 3 page editorial, specifically saying, are we moving too quickly? Like, you can read the whole editorial that she wrote, but it's, she says, she still has concerns, and anxieties about it. And she says, I know that trust wants to be reestablished, and I'm all for that. I appreciate everything everyone's doing.
I just don't want anyone to get hurt. I don't want anything to be impacted for a long term. And she believes there's a lot of rush to get the pass back open for workers commuting and for tourists that are coming from Idaho. Yeah. And, and so she's like, yeah.
I get it. I get it. But But this is this are we moving too quick? Now on the other side of that, the Wyoming Department of Transportation is assuring travelers that they are continuing to test and monitor the area area to ensure safety. There's a chief engineer geologist, who said, they are really looking at the groundwater levels because that's what kinda caused this whole thing in the beginning.
So they're really paying attention to a lot of that. Okay. Good. And we'll be moving forward. The project manager and the engineer involved in this, his name is Bob, says that the temporary detour should be stable for travelers to pass through without restriction.
However, he said the only thing we want people to do is slow down. There will continue to be construction vehicles on the road because they're gonna continue to work up until winter on, improving this detour and stuff, but it could reopen Friday. Should it's on schedule to reopen Friday. Makes my guts hurt. I get it, but it's a big deal.
I know it is. And I I wanna trust those people, and I do I know that those people know exactly what they're doing. They're trained professionals. Collapses while I'm on top of it? You should be the first 1.
No. What if it collapses while I'm on top of it? You should be the first 1. No. We should get you in a in a big heavy dump truck.
Actually and let you be the first 1. First 1 is okay because 100th. Yeah. It's like the 1, 000 that pass through that leak in the the core structure of it. You know?
You you think? Yeah. You think more than that giant steamroller that vibrates the whole ground That's what it's new. It's gonna be, like, the millionth steamroller that goes by, and then it's like, I'm too weak. I can't sustain you.
Okay. Well, Chantel may not be going over. I probably won't know. But it's supposed to reopen on Friday. When we haven't been to Jackson in a really long time.
I know. Maybe we'll go give it a go. Yeah. Let's go. Get test drive over the past.
Let's go see what happens. Okay. I mean, what's the worst that could happen? You just end up in a pile of rubble? You know?
Joshua. My full name. 2 days in a row. 2 days in a row. Full name.
I'm on a streak. On Tuesday, if you have HBO Max, the new season of Hard Knocks comes out. Really? Yeah. Now hard knocks 1 of the shows that made you fall in love with football.
I don't say I I wouldn't say I fell in love with football. Made me interested in football. You're I dipped a toe into football. I was curious about football. K.
So, anyway, last season was all about the Dolphins. This season is? This season is off season with the New York Giants. Okay. I don't know anything about the Giants, but it might be led to believe that I might become a Giants fan.
No. Because I Oh, no. I I like when they add human elements to these athletes. I like when they get personal with them and they show their family and they show them being good husbands and fathers. And Well, off season is gonna be interesting because off season is gonna be everything that's happened since the end of their season.
Yeah. Like, so it's gonna be the breaks they took. Yeah. It's gonna be how they get ready for the next season. It's gonna be draft.
It's gonna be all that stuff. Nope. Is there anybody from the Giants that I know? I don't know. But the the the rest of the the the whole thing is that this is just this is probably a special hard knocks because it's just off season.
Right? And the regular season starts in August. So are they gonna stick with the Giants through the regular hard knocks season, or are they gonna do off season with this team and then they're gonna do the actual hard knocks season with another team? Ew. Good.
I don't know. I don't I really like these shows, though. I think they're fascinating. It makes me appreciate and understand the game more. It's true.
And And that's why you fall in love with football. I I didn't fall in love. I have a crush. Chantilly and football sitting in a tree. Josh, listen to this.
Do you like Hallmark movies? I don't know. I don't actively watch them. Do you like Christmas Hallmark movies? They're okay.
They're I'm they're just a, like, sappy romance stuff. Like, I like a a Christmas comedy or a Christmas adventure or an animated Christmas movie. This might be a Christmas adventure. Do you like the Kansas City Chiefs? No.
Well, you're in luck. Oh. Because Hallmark and the Kansas City Chiefs have made a plan to work together to make a movie. It's called holiday touchdown, a chief's love story. I know.
And it has nothing to do with Travis Kelce or Taylor Swift. No. They're just attaching their names to it, and they're gonna have 2 actors that weirdly resemble them and have similar careers. It'll be a whole thing. Let me tell you.
Elena is sure that her family's lifelong history as a Kansas City Chiefs superfan makes them a front runner to win the team's fan of the year contest. I see. Derek, director of fan engagement, is tasked with evaluating how Elena and her family stack up against the other 2 finalists. As the pair spends time together, it's clear that there's a spark between them. Uh-huh.
Is that right? That's right. Okay. There you go. Holiday touchdown, a chief's love story.
So they're making, these Christmas movies right now with the plan of this coming out this Christmas. You'll be able to watch this 1. I don't know when it's going to be. It's gonna be 1 of the first ones because they are trying to strike while that iron is flat. Absolutely.
They are. Yeah. I think that's probably I know that production has begun, but I don't have a, release date. Okay. That's fine.
We don't need that much information about it, but thanks for letting me know. You're welcome. They should have done that with the Minnesota Vikings. It would have been better. MTV News?
Remember MTV News? With Kurt Loder. Kurt Loder. Yeah. Was the big 1.
Right? And they had others throughout the years, but I remember watching MTV News. They just pulled its digital archive, making thousands of news stories, profiles, interviews dating back to 1996 no longer accessible on the Internet. Really? Yeah.
That seems interesting. They said that it became too expensive to keep it up. So Paramount kind of owned the site. K. And they were unwilling to pay for e and o errors.
So the e and o insurance, which is errors and omissions insurance, which is what If the if I think that's what if, like, when the story had inaccurate information, then they would have to do corrections or whatever. So it's basically, like, every piece of content published on a site like that comes with a certain amount of risk. So you have to have liability and licensing and insurance costs. Alright. Like, is there a sentence that's inaccurate?
Does a negative review contain something that an artist might find libelous? Is a photo or video properly licensed? Is it all copyrighted? Etcetera, etcetera, etcetera. So they decided that the cost of doing all of this licensing was too astronomical.
So they just said, we're not we're not gonna pay for this anymore or at all. But then a lot of people are like, well, with a brand and the legacy of MTV and MTV News, there isn't a reason why it shouldn't been generating revenue in the first place. Like, you could monetize the archive and get sponsorships or production or provide new content in a new way. Right. But they're just unwilling to do it.
So Well, MTV not doing something about music news is not surprising because all I ever see on that channel is Rob Dyrdek's crazy viral video show. That's the only thing that's ever on. So it's not like they got a lot going. No. When was the last time you even watched MTV?
And and and I'll also point out the very first thing that they tried to do was come out swinging at radio. MTV. Who's laughing now? Well, everybody at Rob Dyrdek's viral video show, but that's it. That's all they got.
I think Rob Dyrdek owns MTV at this point. Video killed the radio star. Nope. Try harder next time. Josh and Chantel and your would you rather this or that question of the day.
Would you rather oh, where did it go? I lost it. Would you rather fight 1, 000 Oh, no. Ant sized polar bears No. What?
A 1000 of them? Yeah. K. Or 1 polar bear sized ant. Definitely not that.
Polar bears are vicious. I'm doing some research. What kind of research are you doing? Josh? If you had to guess, how many ants could you squish in 1 footstep?
If I 47. Way more than 47. What does Google say? What does your research tell you? Well, then I wanted to find out how many ants would it take to lift up a person laying down, And here's what I found out.
It would not be possible for any number of ants to lift a person Really? Because the amount of weight bearing down on each ant would crush it no matter how many there were. Okay. Alright. Because you have to think of the weight and the, actual entire thickness of the human body above them with all that air pressure.
So what are you picking, bud? Oh, I'm picking all the all the ants sized whatever. The ant sized polar bears? Yeah. The 1, 000 ant sized polar bears?
Yeah. Because between the amount that I could squish under my 1 foot and just laying down, I win. You would smash as many as you can with your foot, and then the ones that you didn't smash with your foot, you would just steamroll over with your body. Is that what you're saying? That's my tactic.
I think I'd lose to the polar bear sized ant. I think you're right. Yeah. That's my answer. I'm always I always appreciate the amount of research that goes into you're very logical about your answer, and I appreciate that.
Well, give me the weirdest hypotheticals ever, and I'm gonna try to play logic to them. That's how this game works every day. What'd you pick? The same 1 that you picked. Yeah.
Of course, you did. Classy 97, Josh and Chantel. You're better today than yesterday daily challenge. You need some more inner peace because that's what we talked about yesterday, and this 1 literally says give yourself inner peace. It must know that I need a lot of inner peace.
Give yourself inner peace by letting go of the things that no longer serve you. Grab yourself a note, a little piece of paper. Write down 3 things that you're going to let go of, then rip it up and throw it away. 3 things that no longer serve you. That you're gonna let go of, rip it up, and then throw it away.
Okay. Okay. I have some questions. I've read you everything. The, what's the what's the line from taskmaster?
All of the instructions are on the task. Okay. But On a piece of paper have some examples. On a piece of paper, write down 3 things you're letting go of, then rip it up and throw it away. Give yourself inner peace by letting go of the things that no longer serve you.
What? My therapist would agree with this task. She would she would tell me to do that. Today's been a day of Chantel therapy. It has.
Every day is a day of Chantal therapy. What are you gonna write on your list? I don't know, But I'm certainly not gonna let you copy it. Write down your own list. Are you gonna write down my name on your list?
Nope. Good answer. Why would I ever? You want me to serve you? Serve you dinner?
Take out your boots when you come home? Yes. Now we're talking. That's never gonna happen, bud. I know.
