It's Josh and Chantel. How much do you love pickles? It depends. I'm not like, I'm not like hand me a pickle right now. I don't mind some pickle flavored things.

Okay. But there are certain pickles around town. Some of them are better than others. What? Some of them are too pickly.

Some of them are crispier than their counterparts. I have, some days, I don't even want the pickle. Some days, they say, would you like that pickle? I say, no. What?

Yeah. But then other times when I get a sandwich or, a burger, I I like the pickles. And then there are other places that have pickles on their burgers I don't like. Okay. Have you So have you noticed that people are pickling all the things?

Like, they're just putting pickle flavor in all the things. Like, there's Heinz Pickle Ketchup. Yes. There's Frank's red hot dill pickle hot sauce. Right.

Well, first of all, whatever you just had the episode of, I don't know what that was. Pickle pretzel twist? Pickle. Pickle. Pickle.

Pickle. Pretzel. Pickle. Whatever that was was was a moment in time. But what's weird is I thought that there was a was a, like, an issue with the amount of dill required to make actual pickles.

Did you know that when you go buy a jar of pickles, it's not pickles? They're never called pickles. What's it called? Dill chips. Oh, yeah.

You're right. And it's because or something like that. Because in order to use the word pickle in pickles only, apparently, It has to, like, pass a certain amount of ingredients in order for it to actually be a pickle. I had no idea. I it's a there's a whole pickle thing.

Also, didn't we just talk recently about a pickle shortage? There is Don't tell people, but they don't exist. I know. I get that too, but I feel like I read that. It's a money grab.

Okay. But listen. There's a new and this they say by popular demand, there's a new Is there spicy dill pickle flavor, Goldfish. Okay. That's the same as those chips, and I didn't mind the spicy pickle.

I didn't finish the bag, though. I just got the little personal bag with a sandwich, and I went, I'll try these. They're like, I think, miss Vicky's. Yeah. They were okay.

Do you wanna try the Goldfish? No. I don't like Goldfish. Rude. I don't.

Have you had the Pretzel ones? No. Pretzel pickle pretzel. They have a ginger I think it's gingerbread gingerbread No. Goldfish around Christmas time.

Oh my gosh. It's so good. I want those, Teddy Grahams. I want I want some of those. A handful of Teddy Grahams right now sounds nice.

Just talk about the snacks we like. Yeah. You know what else I like? Oh, hell. Biscoff cookies.

They're very good. Classy 97. It's Josh and Chantel. Hey. We got this, like, new music stuff in here.

We're not used to the end of them. I know. I'd like that 1. We haven't played in a very long time. So it comes on, and then I go, oh, yeah.

That song is, over. Well, we were also talking about something, so we got distracted. Hi. Good morning. Hi.

It's Josh Chantel. Do you know that Simon Cowell put together 1 direction? I did know this. Okay. Do you know how long ago he put that band together?

2012. Yeah. You're right. That's a good guess. Well, no.

That's wrong. What? I don't know how to math. What? How many years ago?

Well, now I gotta do some actual math. 12 years ago is 2012. 2010. I was so close. He put them together.

So it's 14 years ago. Years ago, he put together 1 direction. Now he's ready to do it again. He wants to put together the next boy band. He thinks that every generation needs a megastar boy band.

And he said, I don't think there's been 1 to have the same success of 1 Direction in over 14 years since I've done it last, he said. I would agree with him that outside of k pop, 1 direction is probably the like, because BTS is huge. Yeah. And and and but they're now disbanded for now. They'll probably do a reunion thing, whatever.

But that's he's not a he's not off very far on that. Like, globally, the the 1 direction, huge. And I'm trying to think of another boy band since 2010. I don't think there has been 1. Other than in the k pop world, which is its own monster.

He said Simon Cowell said, forming a great boy band is like finding a lightning in a bottle, and he wants to put that together. He put out a billboard in London to announce his search for musicians. He said, Simon needs you. Okay. Future megastars wanted for a new boy band.

No time wasters, the billboard said. 1 of them will have really nice hair. How do you know that? Because that's how it works. You you get a bunch of a bunch and I I don't wanna say any 1 of them is more or less talented than the other, but you get a bunch of these guys together, 1 of them has to stand out as the star.

Do you know which 1 in 1 direction had the good hair? Yeah. It was Harry. Harry Styles. That's right.

Okay. Anyway If you are interested in joining the boy band Go to London. He's looking for 16 to 18 year olds. He wants them to have passion, charisma, and star quality. Uh-huh.

And he's starting his auditions need good hair. Across England and Ireland. So good luck. Yeah. Get out there.

Audition. I'm gonna introduce you to 4 people. Who are they? I'm gonna introduce you to Liam and Jessen Fisher. Going to introduce you to Kaden Madsen.

K. And I'm gonna introduce you to doctor Tyler Lisen. Alright. What do these people have in common? Well, let me tell you.

A couple years ago, Liam and Jessen Fisher, they're brothers, aged 7 and 10, along with their 9 year old cousin, Kaden Madsen. They were messing around looking for fossils in North Dakota. They spotted something unusual. And at first, what they thought they were seeing was like a large leg bone from, like, a duckbill dinosaur, which are very common in the area. Okay.

They were pretty excited about it. So he sent a photo to a family friend, doctor Tyler Lisen, who happens to be a dinosaur expert. Oh. And what they learned is that they had discovered the fossilized remains of a very rare teenaged tyrannosaurus rex. No way.

Yes way. This is very cool because in the scientific world, there are crucial gaps in understanding how T. Rex grew from hatched in an egg to a full grown adult. And so the researchers are calling this young, predator teen rex. Come on.

Uh-huh. Yep. And this whole story happy about it. Is going to be a documentary called T Rex, not teen Rex. Dang it.

It will premiere in a couple weeks in 100 different cities around the world, which is very cool. They should make a movie, not a documentary, but a movie, teen Rex starring Michael J. Fox. Right. And then teen Rex 2 starring Jason Bateman.

Right. And they, instead of basketball, could be on which team? Some with short arms, tennis? Wicked backhand, teen Rex. Tyler, doctor Tyler Lisen, he says he's excited to be at the forefront of this exciting discovery, but he's also happy for Liam, Jessen, and Kaden.

He said helping these kids experience the thrill of their discovery and to be inspired by science is incredibly rewarding to me personally. I bet. Cool. Yeah. Wanna find a T Rex bone?

I knew you'd be, like, really into this. Oh my god. They don't have, like, a bone detector. You just have to go dig. That's okay.

That's alright. I like digging in the dirt. Do you think there's a dinosaur in our backyard? No. Maybe.

I think there's gold in our backyard. That's good news to get you going on Classy 90 7. Classy 90 7. It's Josh and Chantel. Hey.

Good morning. Hey. There's a woman, Taylor Momsen Yeah. Is her name. She's in a band.

Do you know her? I do. She's in a band called the Pretty Reckless. You might also know her as Cindy Lou hoo This is true. From How The Great Stole Christmas.

To be like, don't make that reference, but she's making headlines. I is this is this about the bat? Yeah. She got This this is Bitten lion's bat. I don't did she get bitten?

Yeah. Oh, I didn't know she got I didn't know the bat actually bit her. Yeah. No. She was on stage, and this bat flew up and, and landed on her.

On her leg. And and, it was, like, on on her like, she had, like, a long shirt thing on, and it landed on her shirt and was just hanging there. And the crowd is like, you have a bat on you, and she's still trying to perform. And then she realized something was up, and then I never saw, like, how she got rid of the bat, but it it bit. A roadie a roadie took the bat.

Okay. Okay. So she they were opening for ACDC in Spain. K. And she was singing yeah.

They were singing a song called Witches Burn. Oh, weird. And a bat showed up. And then a bat showed up and attached to her leg. And then a roadie came on stage to remove the bat from her leg, and she didn't realize she had been bitten until later when she was taken to the hospital.

And now she's gonna have to undergo 2 weeks of rabies shots. No way. Yeah. As a precaution, just in case, because there is no cure as we know from, from the office. There's no cure.

But we could do a we can do a run. Did you seen the video? No. I haven't. Let me see if I if I can find it really quick.

Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. So here she is on stage, and you'll see the bat just flies up and just lands on her. It's so Where did it come from?

The sky. It's so and it just grabbed onto her, and then she had no idea. No. Yeah. And the crowd is just pointing at her like, she's still rocking out.

Oh, yeah. Yeah. She doesn't realize that anything's going on. I like that you said that she had a long shirt on. It's a dress.

She's wearing a dress. It's a dress. It's a that's a long shirt, isn't it? A dress is just a long shirt. Oh, Josh.

Uh-huh. I know about fashion. What's up? Hey. How are you?

I'm fine. Are you? Yes. Are you sure? Yes.

So there's a lady who, claims she's allergic to work. I am too. I am too. This woman's name is Vicky. She gets breakouts on her skin during workdays, especially bad on days when she has to attend meetings.

Oh, I have that same problem. Do you? Yeah. Here let listen to this. She said part of why I'm quitting this job is I think I'm literally allergic to it.

She, has flare ups where, she just she gets red, stress rash on her face and her neck, at, like, 3 o'clock every day, and it's especially bad if she has meetings. She said, I've had, this turn into a full blown stress rash, and it only happens when I've done several hours of work and have to have a meeting. Once I calm myself down, it lessens and goes away. Would you you'd have to leave. Right?

If every time you went to work, you broke out in a rash? Yeah. You would have to I mean, you'd have to is this the first job she's ever had? I don't think so. It doesn't say that, but it stressed Hives before at other jobs?

It doesn't say that, but it also doesn't not say that. So it's hard to it's hard to say. It's not necessarily I wonder if it's not necessarily work. It's just that particular job. Yeah.

I don't know. It's it's definitely a strange thing. She should find something new. I'm also allergic to work. Oh, is that right?

Yeah. I still need to be paid, though. Oh. But I'm just gonna have to I don't not come to work. I don't think that's how it works.

I appreciate the attempt, but I'm pretty sure As my direct supervisor Yeah. You need to take my concern seriously. Listen. No. You're you're not allergic.

Look. I got 5. No. You don't. You have an itch.

That's different. My arm itch. It's not you're not allergic to work. I can't breathe. Oh, stop.

Throat is swelling up. You're gonna be fine. Glassy 97 with Josh and Chantel. So Howdy. Here's something that I don't know if we needed it, but we're gonna get it anyway.

Researchers in Canada are training an AI to identify different feuds feuds foods using cameras so it can track everything you eat and also shame you for making poor food choices. Nobody needs this. So it's basically going to it's not ready yet, but right now, the idea is that it's gonna calculate how much food is on your spoon or plate with about 95% accuracy. And it's gonna put the cookie down. It can't identify exactly what you're eating yet, but they're pretty confident that it'll get there.

Put the cookie down. And then once it happens, yes, it's gonna use cameras to track what you eat. So someday soon, it might watch you open that bag of chips instead. Put the cookie down. Are you sure?

Yeah. I mean, you already ate that box of Cheez Its. Maybe go get an apple. I don't think I want this. I don't think anybody wants this.

I don't need a food babysitter. I don't need to be food shamed by a computer. Yeah. Following me around, telling me how awful I am. I know.

Yeah. It's my body. I know. Bitchies? No.

Thank you. And then you're gonna cheer me on when I do what's right? Good job on the broccoli. It's Josh and Chantel. We have our son, living at home.

He's, 19. He'll be 20 in November. Mhmm. And and we've thought, like, you know, where what's going on? Like, this is we're totally fine with him staying.

Like, when we were his age, we were, like, gone. You were in college. I moved to a different state. Like, stuff just was different Yep. 20 whatever years ago.

Yep. The days of parents sending their kids off to college and celebrating their new life as empty nesters appears to be ending. What does that mean? According to new US census data, more than half of Gen z'ers, those are the, kids between 18 and 24 Okay. Are living at home with their parents, more than half.

Okay. For how long? Well, they that still happened. Like, we don't know. They're still there.

I know. I'm not in any hurry to think about. Totally agree. The housing market is awful. And and that has a lot to do with it.

Yeah. Rising number of young adults. He's got a great job. He's making some money. Sure.

He's doing his own thing. Right. Even college kids in dorms who live with their parents over breaks, they move home. Yeah. So that's they they're like, I'm going home for the summer or whatever.

So that's happening. But a lot of contributing factors, inflation, student debt, rising rent pray rising rent prices. And a recent poll added that 45% of adults under 30 are living with their parents, which is an 80 year high. Really? Yeah.

And that's that's under 45% of adults under 30. So that's gonna be your 24 to 30, your next stretch at home. So a while. It's fine. It is.

It is fine. I'm happy to have him there. I like talking to him. I like seeing him. Right.

I'm not in any hurry to kick him out of the house. And neither is anyone else apparently because it's just the way it is. It's living a home. Just living in a home. Just living in a home.

Just doing the thing. Just it's comfortable. Okay. Well, sometimes it does feel like, you know, comparison is the thief of joy. But you see all the what?

Nothing. I'm just listening. He gave me a look. I'm listening. This is this is me being a an active listener.

So you look at other people and you look at their kids that are the same age and you go, oh. 0, well, they're doing this. Yeah. My kid's not doing that, but that's fine. No.

It's nice to hear that there's other people the same day than half. More than half. Still doing kind of the same. Doing the exact same. Alright.

It's just living. Just living life. Yeah. And even if it wasn't, we're just doing our own thing. Yeah.

And that's fine. Yeah. So quit comparing. I know. It's the thief of joy.

Is that what you said? Yeah. Okay. I have not heard that. That's new information.

But I I agree. Comparison is a thief. Classy 97. It's Josh and Chantel. So Red Lobster filed for bankruptcy.

Yeah. Are they gone? They're like No. They're all closing. No.

No. No. No. Not all of them. A lot of restaurant locations have closed, but they say Red Lobster says they're still going to have 600 locations open.

Okay. That's still quite a few. Sell the company. Oh. So as a way to help keep them afloat, Flavor Flav, you know, Flavor Flav.

Is he alive? He's still alive. He you know? Feel like that's a Mandela effect. Carries around the huge clock.

Yes. He went to a Red Lobster in his town and ordered the entire menu to help keep them up through their bankruptcy. He loves the cheddar bay biscuits. And he said, quote, your boy meant it when I said I was gonna do anything and everything to help Red Lobster and save the Cheddar Bay Biscuits. Alright.

Well, aren't they selling the Cheddar Bay Biscuits, like, as a mix you can make at home now? There's a box of it you can have. You can just make it at home. How old is Flavor Flav? Let's look it up.

No. I know. Do you know? Yeah. You want me to take a guess?

You to guess. Okay. I'm gonna say 78. What? No.

Not even close. Rude. 65. Oh. I didn't think he was 65.

He was older than that. I thought he was younger than that. Really? Yeah. No.

I thought he was much older. Unbelievable. And he loves that cheddar bay biscuits. Cheddar bay biscuits. That makes sense.

It doesn't say how much his order cost. But, yeah, 1 of everything, basically. Entire menu. What if you don't eat I kinda wanna do that. Well, you'd have to have a group of people to eat it.

Well, yeah, obviously. But wouldn't that be fun to say, I'll have 1 of everything? Yeah. I wanna try it all. I wanna try all of it.

Yeah. Fill up this table. Yeah. Bring bring out 1 of everything. Would you get everything on the have to have a party.

Yeah. Do you want everything on the kids menu too? Everything. Everything. I wanna try it all.

Me too. How long would that order take to come out? It would take a while, but that's okay. Call ahead. Just bring it out in pieces.

I don't mind. As it as it's getting done? Getting prepared. Yeah. That's fair.

It's a good way to portion it off. But you could you could even shut down the restaurant and say, hey. Sure. I've got a lot of money to spend. I'm renting the restaurant for the night.

Also, I'm gonna order 1 of everything. Need a full kitchen staff. Prepare yourself. Yeah. Because I'm ordering 1 of everything.

That is a pretty cool power move. It is, isn't it? Yeah. To be like, I'll have 1 of everything. And, yes, I mean it.

1 of everything. 1 of everything. Yep. How many people? How many people In your party.

5. 5. 5 people are gonna eat the whole menu? You've gone the wrong way. How many people would you invite?

Way over on Flavor Flav's age and brands. Are hard for me. 20. You'd invite 20 people. You gotta have that many people to eat that much food.

What if you invite somebody and they eat too much, and then you go? They eat more than their share? Yeah. But I don't have to worry about leftovers. Way to go, Bobby.

Why why did you I wanted a piece of that. You ate the whole thing? Bobby. He said, this is my favorite thing on the menu. I had this for me.

Do that creepy smile again? Yeah. It still makes me smile, but I know you're not a creep. I know. Thanks.

Okay. Don't do that to strangers. Oh, thank you. Here's some others. This is the top these are the top 2 things that make you smile.

Waking up to a sunny day. You wake up, you look outside, and you go There's still wind, though. The number 1 Yeah. On this list, being on vacation. Yeah.

That always puts a smile on your face. Waking up in a sunny place on vacation in a hammock outside. Blammo. Thank you. Classy 97.

It's Josh and Chantel. I've been pregnant twice. Yeah. That's why we have 2 children. Yeah.

Yeah. Were there Math checks out. Any, did you think I was difficult while pregnant? No. Good answer.

I will not fall for this trap. I really don't think that I was. Nope. Smooth sailing. Well, I was not as bad as this woman.

This woman is named Nori. She's from England. Okay. And she has some pregnancy nonnegotiable. Okay.

So she's this is, like, bridezilla, but this is, like, new momzilla. Yes. And she is 28. She is single, but she when she's looking for a partner and when she's ready to have a baby I see. So She is This is a list of things she says that you must meet these lists.

Yes. Okay. Meet these requirements. Yeah. What what do we have?

She I don't know even know where to start. I because I don't know which is the worst 1. 0, no. She wants a babymoon, which is the honey not the honeymoon, but it's a vacation before you have your baby Right. So that you can be well rested before you deliver.

Okay. She wants a $1, 000 push present, which is, like, where this just, like, came of age, like, 10 years ago where people were giving push presents. Yeah. It's a gift to the mom for pushing. Oh.

Here's a push. Good job. You get a payment present. And also a present. Okay.

Nothing less than $1, 000. She's thinking either a handbag or shoes. And then she is also requiring a personal trainer to get back in shape, plus also a subscription to meals to help get her back in shape. She expects her partner to abstain from things she can't do while pregnant. Alright.

So jumping on the trampoline or riding a roller coaster. Okay. Stuff she can't do. Right. Her partner should also not do it.

He is expected to go to the baby classes with her. Alright. That's That's not out reach. Most of this, I'm I like, I don't understand the the push gift thing. Like, I don't know what that's about.

So most of this seems reasonable. Do you want me to explain it to you again? No. I got it. I just don't understand why.

Why what? Just move on. I it doesn't matter. She also is requesting, her own room, a private room in whichever hospital she chooses to deliver. In England, it's pretty, I think they have, like, you have, your own room.

I don't know. According to this article, you have, like, your own room while you're delivering. And then once the baby's delivered, then they move you into a maternity ward with other people. So she is going to she's going to request her own private room and pay for her own private room. Well, her partner is.

Yeah. Well, she's gonna pay for all of this. Oh, okay. Is that part of that too? Yeah.

She said, I'm I'm not working. You'll pay for all of this? Yeah. See, I missed that part. No.

She's working. She's gonna but he has to pay for all of it. So he is responsible for the push gift, and he is responsible for both. See, now this is getting a little bit I felt Look. There there's definitely some stuff in here that makes sense.

Like, there's great expectations in here, that you would expect from anybody. But I don't get that push gift. You're still stuck on the push gift. A $1, 000 handbag. What if it was a $50 push gift?

She didn't say that. She wants a $1, 000 Would you still be upset? Are you upset by the class? Call it something else? Classy 97.

It's Josh and, Chantal. There is, this AI thing that is taking over the like, every industry, including, pageants. Pageants? Are pageants still a thing? Yeah.

Oh. Yeah. They are. But AI is now entering the chat, as the kids say. What the?

The Fanview World AI creator awards have announced the top 10, their shortlist for the first ever Miss AI Awards. So this is, a pageant devoted entirely to AI created What? Ladies. What? Yeah.

Yeah. They've they've whittled it down to the top 10 that are now competing for, for cash prize. Of 2 minds. 1, this is totally silly and dumb. Yeah.

2, I could've done this years years years ago. This is the kind of pageant I can get into. But it's but, like, I'm looking at these AI. This is wild. These are not real people.

These are AI people that have been created that are competing. So as you look at these, like, know that these are not real people look real, don't they? No. Like, this is not a real person. These are not real people.

These are AI generated people that are competing. So, what, competitions are they gonna compete in? Well, it's a Just photos? I have no idea. I don't know if there's an AI thing running it.

I don't know. Strange. It's it's weird how real these 10 avatars look. Yeah. It is.

It's it's wild. It's kinda creepy. Yeah. So I don't know. It's an AI fake beauty contest pageant thing they're doing.

I'm it's confusing. An AI It is confusing. My brain Taken over. Doesn't know what to do. Okay.

Here we are. And now you know. AI beauty pageants. In 2024. Thing.

Yep. Wake up, class of 97. It's Josh and Chantel. Okay. I'm gonna ask this question because this question came up last night.

We were hanging out with some friends, and they were giving me grief because I don't shop at a particular grocery store. And she thinks that I shop at an expensive grocery store. I know. People think that, look. Where we shop for groceries, I know is sort of middle tier.

It is. Because I know there are way more expensive places to shop for groceries. I agree with that. But it's also not the cheapest place to shop for groceries. Okay.

I realized that. But I told her, I don't like shopping at that other place. I just don't. I hate grocery shopping in general, but I hate it even more when I shop there. So I said, I'm willing to pay extra for my groceries so that I don't have to shop at that store.

You did get a little bit of a bougie attitude. Well, because she was coming down on me. I know. She was like, hey, Lou. Oh, don't drop there.

And I said there. Yeah. I'm willing to pay extra for that because it really upsets my mood when I got to go there. I don't like it. I can't ever find a good place to park.

It takes me too long to check out. I don't like it. I don't like it. I can't find anything I need. Right.

Because it's not where you usually shop. I don't like their produce. Well, I do actually like their produce. I don't like their meat. I'll stop complaining about it.

I'm just I am willing to pay extra for my groceries so I don't have to shop there. So I'm curious. Do you have anything that you're willing to pay extra money for? You know you can get a better deal, but are you willing to pay extra for so that you don't have to go I know the other thing that came up, was, the the lady who was bashing you about your grocery shopping. She's my friend.

Her husband, our friend as well. He said he's willing, to always pay for, like, a fast pass Oh, yes. That's right. Parks. He's like he's like, I I will do it because the lines are bad enough.

I'd rather I'd rather stand in a little shorter line. Yeah. That's good. But sense. I mean, that that's that's a value.

I've never flown 1st class. Me neither. But I'm imagining it's worth the upgrade. I think it would be too. Oh, man.

You get to load earlier. You get to sit down. They bring you up and hang you get that towel. Everybody's always in a hurry to load early, but you're just gonna go sit on the plane Right. And wait.

And watch everyone walk past you. Yeah. Yeah. But you're waiting in a wider seat with a beverage and already a snack. In the waiting room in the waiting room.

In the waiting room in the waiting room. This is true. I know. I don't think that's necessarily a perk. I'd rather wait in the airport than wait on the plane.

Okay. That's just me. But what are some I I'm trying to think of other other things where you would pay extra. I mean, there are certainly, like, brand name things where people get locked in and they go, this is a higher quality product than a generic 1 or whatever. Right.

But, you know, I don't know. Like, electronics wise, I would rather pay for, a higher quality product with a brand that I know and trust than a a less expensive product that may not last as long or be as good quality. Yeah. And that depends on the product too. Right.

Because there's lots of products you can pay the generic price and have a decent quality. That's a good question. You putting that 1 on the, community? I might. Okay.

I think you should. That's a good question. Alright. You can go answer that 1 on Facebook. What are you willing to pay extra for so that you don't have to deal with My groceries.

Your groceries. So I don't have to shop at that place. Uh-huh. It is Josh and Chantel, and it is the would you rather this or that question of the day. I like this 1 today.

Would you rather be able to forget your worst memory? Can you think of your worst memory? Some things I can think of some troubling times I've been through. Okay. Or remember your best memory better.

Yeah. That 1. I know. That's what I would go with too. Yeah.

Because you gotta learn from the lumps. Yeah. So I'm fine with I'm fine with, you know, that. But to be able to remember my best memory better, that'd be cool. What's your best memory?

Know. I have so many good memories that I, I'd have to I'd have a hard time picking. Can I just have all of my good memories bad like, better? No. It has to be your best memory.

I was gonna say that my best memory was our first date. Oh, is it? Yeah. That's sweet. But you and I were just talking about it the other day, and there was a lot of pieces missing because neither 1 of us could remember it.

But we had facts wrong. It's been a long time. I know it has. That's why I picked that 1. It's not it's not a bad pick.

It's not a bad memory? Is that what you're saying? Well, it's not a bad memory. No. But it's also not a bad choice.

That's a good 1 to wanna remember better. But you're right. There's a lot of good memories. There's birth of children. There's I don't wanna You wanna remember that better?

Like, oh, I gotta remember the pain. The day after, maybe. Okay. There's our wedding. Yeah.

That's a good 1. That's a good memory. Yeah? There's, there's stuff before I met you that might be fun to remember. Rude.

There's that that fish I caught that time where the adrenaline was rushing. Yeah. Is that that's your best memory? Oh, it's a good memory. Okay.

I I didn't say it was the best. I'm saying a lot of good ones. No. You kinda did. End it.

Shut it down. Would you rather answer that? Classy 90 7. It's Josh and Chantel. You're better today than yesterday.

Daily challenge. What is it? I don't know. Oh, it's something you can do today to make yesterday a little worse than today. A little worse?

It's a better today than yesterday daily challenge to make today better than yesterday Okay. And yesterday worse than today. Okay. Hit me. Leave something nice at your neighbor's door.

Oh, actually, this is a great idea. It says bond with your neighbors and do something for them just because you can. We are friendly. We're cordial to the neighbors on either side of us. Yes.

I couldn't tell you their names. Nope. We don't have extended conversations. Negative. But when we are all in the yard at the same time, it's a nod and a, hey.

How are you? And then the neighbor will mow his lawn, and then I feel like I need to mow my lawn now. Yeah. That happened yesterday. I know.

I'm aware. I was supposed to mow yesterday. I. That's my plan, but it didn't happen. I was busy.

No. I just neighbor thing. I'm gonna do something. Yeah. That's all.

It's, pretty easy. Leave something nice at your neighbor's door. What could you leave that's nice? I don't know. A treat.

And then what do you say? From your neighbor? You just say, happy spring. Just just because. I think the neighbor Thank you.

I have a flower bed right by the neighbor's fence, and they have dogs. Yeah. And then 1 day I was dog treat thing. No. But listen.

1 day I was watering, and the dog likes to play with the water through the gate, through the fence. And so I was teasing him a little bit with the water. Yeah. And then they started barking, and then they got in trouble. Oh.

And so I think the neighbor is mad at me because when he came out and yelled at the dogs to quit barking, I said, it's my fault. I was teasing them. Oh, way to go. I know. So I hope he doesn't I hope he's not mad.

How long ago did this happen? Teasing. Not yesterday. No. No.
