Today's good news to get you going comes from eastidahonews.com. It is, in their living elevated features section. This is pretty this is pretty cool. In Teton County, they took, some folks, the residents from the Homestead Senior Living Center. Uh-huh.
They took them on a snowmobiling adventure. And, they got to see a moose, and they got to ride snow machines and a four wheeler with tracks on it, and, they got to go for some rides and check out the great outdoors. We were talking about field trips for adults. Yes. Yeah.
This is it. This is one. And it's really, really super cool. It was, it was it's written here that it was a serene yet thrilling experience for everyone involved, which is pretty cool. They got to to take a little tour.
Oh, I think that's great. And they unexpectedly spotted a moose, which was kind of fun. They they in the video that you can watch, they talk a lot about the moose because it's, I heard you listening to that video. Yeah. So What are you watching?
Where is there a I'm watching good news. Oh. Yeah. I'm watching the, the residents from the Homestead Senior Living Center talk about this moose. So you gotta go check out the video.
It's really, really sweet, and, looks like they had a really great time. And, it's always fun. You get to to go on an adventure, but I can imagine, being in a senior living center and then having this opportunity to get outside and get some fresh air and And maybe do something that you haven't done. Yeah. True story.
Or something that you haven't done in a very long time. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. So you gotta go check out that video.
It's a lot of fun. It's eastidahonews.com. And it's good news to get you going. It is good news. DVDs from Warner Brothers from 02/2006 to 02/2008 are experiencing DVD rot, which is where the discs are deteriorating and becoming unplayable.
No way. Yeah way. How are they doing that? DVD rot. I know, but what makes them rot?
The the age? That's that's all I know. But but it's specifically Warner Brothers movies. I was gonna say. So it's not just age.
Right. It's something to do with their discs or how they Correct. Wrote them. Yeah. I think it has to do with the foil that's on the back because the the plastic is clear, but there's a a reflective the silver part of the disc is reflective on the back of the label.
And it's a specific time frame you said? Yes. It is. During that, 02/2006 to 02/2008, Warner Brothers movies were manufactured in a specific place, and, they are deteriorating. That label on the back is is getting all super gross and separating from the disc and making the DVDs unplayable.
Oh, no. So there are people that actually have these, like, media collections, that are now dealing with DVD rot, which, you know, if if if you have streaming services and a lot of the movies that you like are there and that's fine for you, then great. But if you have a collection of old media or classic movies or maybe box sets or even TV shows Time out. You might want to, check your discs for disc rot. Why does everything have to have a name?
One. And two, I just did a quick search to see, well, like, what is Warner Brothers? Like, what would some of their movies be? From 02/2006 to 02/2008? I don't I didn't specifically look during that time frame, but it gave me, like, an archive.
Guess what's in the archive? I don't know. A little movie called Airborne. I talk about this movie all the time. Do I know about you talking about this movie?
This is a movie where the kid is an inline skater. Nineteen ninety three, the kid was an inline skater. Right. And there was, like, a big, like Yeah. Downhill competition.
Yeah. Yeah. Called the devil's back or the devil's backbone. Yeah. Right.
Oh, sick. Okay. I love that movie. I watched that movie when I was a teenager all the time. I gotta show that movie to our kids.
I talk about this movie way too much. Okay. I was excited. I really think maybe we've talked about it once in twenty some odd years. No.
That's not true. There anytime I see a roller skater, I say to you, hey. Did you ever see that movie with the kid that's in the line skater and he has to go down the I've never had that conversation. Yes, sir. No.
Yes. You have. But, anyway, this, this problem with these DVDs was a frequent problem with laser discs back in the eighties and nineties, but, wasn't a big deal with DVDs until now. Interesting. And this this guy who, wrote this article, he had a whole bunch of issues with a bunch of DVDs.
Now there are, a whole bunch of the classics from Warner Brothers that have been reissued on Blu ray or digital HD. And so some of those titles, you may be able to, to get replacements and better quality remasters. But if you have DVDs from o six to o eight from Warner Brothers, and they have Discrafts, some of those have not been reprinted or reissued or, you know, remastered or any of that kind of stuff. And so you might but we might be losing a bit of an archive in a in a in a way. So just Crazy.
Check out your DVDs. If if that's if that's a big deal to you and you've got physical media I know. It might just be sitting on the shelf literally rotting away. Actually, we might because we have some from old back in the day. From old back in the day.
What are the dates again? O six to o eight Warner Brothers. To o eight. Just that specific time frame. That is correct.
Interesting. Yep. Oh, man. Space Jam Oh, man. Has been reissued on Blu ray.
Oh, The Last Samurai? Oh, man. Oh, man? Give me one more. Somebody says they curdle like milk.
I was just looking at some pictures of this DVD. Really gross. It is gross. Yeah. It's a it's a problem.
Give me more? The ant bully? Oh, no. Not the ant bully. This is the part of football that I don't enjoy.
When people get traded and teams get ready for the draft and And teams get shaken up, and I Yeah. I don't like it because I don't know where my people are going. And, like, like, I just lost I'm mad at the Colts right now because they signed my dance choreographer, Cam Ira. Alright. That's just a secondary title.
You it's not his only job. I know that's not his only job, but that's his best job. Oh, god. Alright. That's Who's gonna the Vikings had the best dances in the end zone last season.
Think that they maybe pass that along to somebody else who's part of that group still? I hope they did. And I hope course they did. I hope Cam Bynum wasn't the only talented dancer in the group because now he's gonna take it to the Colts, and the Colts are gonna have the best end zone dances. Oh, boy.
Not I'm not okay with that. I want my Vikings to have the best kids. Have to make defensive plays before their defense is gonna have Oh. Defensive end zone dances. They're gonna have to do pick sixes and stuff.
Look at you. I'm just saying. You're worried about a nonissue. They also signed my Vikings, signed three really good players, apparently, according to my son. Right.
And I don't know these people. Well, you'll get to know them. I don't wanna get to know them. Part of your team now. I wanna get to know my little every year.
I know, but I don't like it. And then and then there's rumors. There's rumors flying around about a lot of things. A lot. What rumor are you worried about?
I heard a rumor. I read it yesterday, and I went, no. That's not true. And then you brought it up today. And so that's two places I've heard this rumor, and I'm not okay with it.
I heard a rumor Yeah. That the Vikings might potentially sign No. Aaron Rodgers. No. Look.
Aaron Terrible. Aaron Rodgers is the rumor. It's not a Vikings rumor. It's the fact that the Vikings have done this exact same thing before with Brett Favre, and so there's a there's this weird lingering thing out there that the same thing they did could happen again. And I hope not.
I hope they're smarter than that. The jets can keep that guy because he's no good. Yeah. Well, I don't think they want to. No.
And he's also old. There's that? He's younger than me, but for a football player, he's pretty old. I don't want that guy. Plus, also, we have a really good quarterback.
Yeah. JJ. We also lost Donald. He went to the Seahawks. This is true.
Donald. Lost that guy. I don't like it. So I think that's I think when you say there's a rumor about it that the Vikings might sign him, that's not even a rumor. The just the rumor is that he's hanging out there and hasn't been picked up, and the Vikings have done this before with Brett Favre.
So if if there were to be a thing, it would be that, and it would be a kind of a gross thing. It would be a gross thing. Yeah. Let's not do that. I need to call them You got JJ, and and that's where you need to put all your I know.
I need to call the Vikings and say, hey. What are we doing? We don't need that guy. Keep him on the jets. Yeah.
Just leave him all in there. We're fine. We're fine without that guy. He's got the the grossest helmet in the whole league. What?
You hate his helmet, and I don't know why. Not like have you seen it? Yeah. It's the grossest helmet. Necessarily know why.
I don't know why you hate it so much. Have you seen it? Yeah. It just looks like a helmet. No.
He looks like Megamind. It's bad. It's a bad helmet. Get a new helmet. Mind.
I don't know anything about I've we signed Jonathan Allen. I don't know. I don't know anything about him. Okay. We also signed Byron Murphy junior.
I don't know. So Jonathan Allen is a defensive player. And who else? Byron Murphy Byron Murphy. Junior.
He's a cornerback. So, there's that. And Ryan Wright I don't know. They Yeah. You'll get to learn them.
I just Murphy has has a lot of hair. That guy, he's got a hairdo. Yes. He does. Wowza.
I hope they're good at dancing. Okay. It's important. I found out yesterday you can do a pretty cool impression. An impression of what?
Well, we'll get to that in just a second because for a long time, you've said you don't know how to make noises at all. And, I was a little bit blown away yesterday at your ability to make a spot on noise. What spot on noise did I make? Well, let's try a couple. Okay.
Helicopter. Now why are you doing this? Because I wanna hear your helicopter noise. Nice. It's a good one.
That's a good one. A rickety old car driving down the road. I don't know. That one is hard. That is very specific.
Okay. I can't do that one. What do you think it might sound like? I don't know. Might it sound like your helicopter?
It might. Yeah? Okay. K. Next.
What's the what's the sound of, somebody walking in snow? Shit. Okay. Good. A slower helicopter.
Got it. And then what's the sound of the suction thing that the dentist puts in your mouth and just hangs on your lip? That suction do? Yeah. Yeah.
That's it. And if you're trying to talk at the same time, how's that go? Why are you trying to talk at the same time? Well, because they ask you questions and you got that tube hanging out of your mouth. You can't talk with that.
That suction thing is my worst nightmare. I'm Why? Because I'm afraid of that thing. I never know what I'm supposed to do. They say shut your mouth, and I go It's gonna suck my tongue inside of it.
They give you no other instructions at the dentist when they stick that tube in your mouth. I know. Close your mouth. Okay. When am I supposed to open?
Am I supposed to swallow? What what am I supposed to do? Yeah. Yeah. Okay.
Well, I was just I was blown away. We were talking about it because I was at the dentist yesterday, and they had that thing hanging off my lip. And I'm like, here we go. Like, you can hold it, and then you can be in charge of it. And I went, no.
That's okay. I'll just let it hang there. What? Like, I'm a machine that holds the tube. They let you be in charge of it?
If I wanted. I wanna be in charge of mine. No one has ever given me that kinda leeway. Should ask. You should say, hey.
Can I can I run that thing? I would like that. You would? Yeah. Rather than somebody being, like, sticking it in and then being, like, closed, and then I go, I don't know what my other instructions are.
When do I open? Is that it's sorta like when they ask you how much cheese you want on your, pasta, and you go, well, when do you want me to stop? I think it's up to you. Okay. Do you feel like you're drowning still, or do you feel like you can breathe?
Okay. Good. Open mouth. I always feel like I open it at the wrong time, though. Oh, do you?
Yeah. Do they ever say, okay. Close again right after you open your mouth? Yeah. Well, then maybe you did open too soon.
I know. I fail all of the assignments. Ask when you go in. You've got that appointment coming up in a in a few weeks. Go in and say, how long would you like me?
When you say close your mouth on the suction thing, when when when should I open it? What's a good time to open it? Yeah. Like, should I count to five or 10? Like, what what's a good number?
Maybe I just don't open it for a while. Yeah. And so then they're, like, trying to pry it out of my mouth. Yeah. Bite it.
Like, no way. This is mine now. Like the dog. You gave this to me. It's mine.
Yeah. This is now part of my life, so thank you. What's the sound that makes? Yeah. Pretty good.
Thank you. Yeah. Pretty good. It's my best sound. It's it's definitely that.
Alright. So this video we just got from our 15 year old. Her face in this video is so hilarious. It's a silent video. She didn't make a make a sound.
I didn't I didn't watch it with audio anyway, but she is just so confused. She has the most confused that's a good word. The most confused look on her face. Like, what is happening? What is this?
And the reason she sent this video was be was because of the picture that precedes it. So last night, you were busy, cleaning up dinner and stuff, and you asked if I would make Emery's sandwich for lunch today. It's my it's my active love for our daughter. I like to make her sandwich so she doesn't have to worry about it in the morning. And I was busy.
So I said, hey. Can you make her a sandwich? Yeah. And you said, yeah. What does she like?
I said, ham, cheese, and mayonnaise. Boring sandwich I've ever seen. You said no pickles? I said no pickles, no mustard. Like, how much meat?
Because I made one before, and she said it had too much meat. I said, just two slices? That's not even enough meat. Yeah. It is.
There's plenty of meat. Apparently. Well, then I finished the sandwich, and then you had this brilliant idea. I did have a brilliant idea. You said, why don't you cut that in weird shapes?
And what I was thinking in my brain, you know how you make you can you can cut it in a diagonal, but it's not quite a diagonal. So it's like Yes. One side's bigger than the other or something. It's not symmetrical. Or I've seen where people have cut, like, almost a like, a real steep diagonal, and then they've cut the other one into another piece that's awful.
So it's like three trapezoids. It's just a gross thing. Day I was having in my head. Well, in my head, I thought maybe I should take a shape out of the middle. And so I started looking around for things that would make a circle through the middle of the sandwich, and all I could find was a cup off of the shelf, which didn't have a very sharp edge.
So it was really difficult to get it to slice the sandwich. And then the the bread was you know, it's nice soft bread. It was stuck inside the the cup, and I went, this is a pain. So I have to use the knife to pull the circle out. And then I went, well, I'm just gonna put it in the into the sandwich bag.
And it was difficult to do that because now it's in two weird pieces. Well, you put the circle back in the sandwich. Did you say that part? Well, yeah. It's in the middle.
I didn't leave it out. Like, the sandwich isn't just the crust. It's back in the middle. So it just looks like instead of being cut in diagonals or, you know, a normal shape, it's just a bread with a hole in the middle with a sandwich hole sitting in it. So she sent us that confusing video and then said, why?
Yeah. Why? But it it was why and then why all caps, and then all caps still tell me. And then I said, well, it looks like a full moon sandwich to me. And she said, what?
I'm not gonna eat it now. And I said, but it's made with lots of love. It's full circle like our friendship, never ending. And, and I don't think she is enjoying our commentary. It.
But then I also told her it'd be like a cinnamon roll, and you could work your way to the middle, and that middle will be the best part. She said she's alright, man. Yeah. Alright, man. Alright, man.
She does not find this amusing. I know last night when you were doing this, and maybe it was just because we were tired. We were laughing. We thought we were the funniest people alive. I know.
Then now we just feel kind of bad. Well, as we were doing it, she came out of her bedroom, and we went, like, ho ho. Hi. Hi. I get distracted.
Don't let her see the sandwich. It's being made. Oh, man. The things we do to entertain ourselves. Yeah.
It'll be a fun lunch for her. If she's gonna eat it. Well, she said she would. She said she would, but She might just hold it together like a normal sandwich. Is she gonna pull it out in front of her friends?
That's gonna be the real test. If she does, she'll be like, look at how weird my parents are. My parents are the worst. Look at they put a big hole in my sandwich. Sorry, Emery.
Yeah. Well, it was a fun fun little thing. I thought if you did that's my sandwich. I would laugh, and I would say, this is hilarious. I'm gonna eat this.
I should have cut it in diagonals as well. That's where I goofed that. Would add a half. That's right. Circle in the middle.
The little crust border thing, a half circle. That's what I shoulda done. I shoulda done the half and the circle. That would have been cool. There's still time.
Give me that sandwich. Well, I said, now you have no crust. And she said, I like the crust. I goofed. Yeah.
What do you sandwich on the outside edge. Still there. Yeah. You can still eat it. Yeah.
You get it. I didn't just give you the circle from the middle. Pieces. Yeah. Last night, you were going through some old files.
We're trying to organize some photos and and files and different things. And so you were going through your photos, and you came across some of your old, some, a transcript, old high school transcript. I did find my high school transcript. Found some participation awards. I found out that I won a spelling award in the first grade, which you have mocked me for my spelling.
I have not. I have not mocked you. Yourself a better speller. And Yeah. But I've never mocked you.
I also had, my, presidential fitness awards in there. I also found yeah. With my patch, I found, some cross country stuff, including my button. This is a the like, the mom's button when I was a high school athlete. A principal's award for being a good singer.
That's right. I, in the first grade, also, in addition to being a good speller, was also a good singer. In 1989 at Good Cell Elementary. In Shelley. That's right.
That's where I went to first grade. I bounced around. I went there for first grade. Second and third grade, I was at Ethelboys, and then I finished my elementary school at Fox Hollow Elementary. Well, you had good cells where they thought you were a good singer.
Yes. Principal's award. Yeah. And then when I found my, report cards through, junior high at Eagle Rock Junior High. Mhmm.
That is where I found out that I was a disruptive class person. I was disruptive in class. I was, my work was unprepared. That sounds about right. I I was kind of surprised because I said, I had a better GPA than you did.
Yeah. And you said In in high school, my total GPA, yeah, was was not strong. Do you remember what it was? It was in the twos. Oh, Joshua.
And that's not I'm surprised by that because you're a smart dude. Yeah. Well, here's the thing about high school for me. I didn't care to be there. I I like, my senior year, I had three different jobs.
Like, I was I school was, was a disruption to me having a life. So there was that. But, also, I just wanted to hang out and joke around with my friends, which is Everybody that's what everybody wants to do in in middle school, especially in middle school where I was a disruptive class person. My favorite part was that when I saw your GPA, I said, I'm surprised by this low GPA. You're smarter than me.
And you said, well, now I am. But am I That was kind of a backhanded compliment here. It was funny. It was a joke. It wasn't?
Yeah. It was. But, also, like, the only way to really know that would be to to do some testing to find out if we are Let's do some testing. You know, I don't know. Is it IQ?
Is it is it we take, you know, some sort of aptitude exam? I don't know what it is. Let's do it. How can we do this? I don't know.
Some kind of trivia competition. Well, trivia is not it. Like, this has to be, like, the stuff you should know when you graduate from high school. Oh, how can we do this? I don't know.
You'll probably get test anxiety about it leading up to it. But how do you even study, or do you not study? Just go in. You go in line. Go in.
And what you know, you know. And what you don't know, you don't know. Oh, man. I hope there's not any math questions. There will be.
There will be. We don't even have a test. What can we use? Well, somebody knows something. If somebody does know something then they can help us out.
I just know it. We can figure this out. Need to take this test. We know teachers. I know we know high school teachers.
I'm sure we could say, hey. We need to have a final aptitude test. We need some sort of some sort of final, exam. It's gonna be hard. I can tell you that already.
If my GPA was down at a twos, I know it's gonna be hard. It's not gonna be easy. But I'm into it. I'm into it too. Alright.
Let's see if what we can figure out. Maybe we can figure something out. Aptitude. I never know anybody with a aptitude. So when you were a kid, do you remember going to eat out at a fast food place that they had play places.
Like, they had places where you could go. Yeah. And they had sometimes they would have ball pits, and sometimes they would have slides. That had a ball pit. And I I worked also at a place that was very well known for their ball pits.
Yeah. And the place that was very well known for their ball pits take extra care to clean Good. Sanitize, and make things awesome. And the fast food place that I worked that had a ball pit, I worked there for a while, and I never saw that. Oh, no.
Never. So I don't think I would have ever trusted You wouldn't have put your kid there. Food restaurant ball pit. But but the other one was great. There is a play place at a at a location in Tennessee.
K. And it's going still have one? They do. With a ball pit? No.
Okay. It's going viral because it's a little bit depressing. Oh, no. As in it's in, like, disheveled condition? No.
It just has two chairs in front of two tables that have two tablets stuck to the wall. That's the play place. Yes. That's not a play place. Tablets are probably loaded with games or learning activities.
Right? But then there's also a column, like a weird, like, dance thing where kids I it looks like dance dance revolution kind of where there's, like, a column with lights, and then there's, like, some pads around the column so that you can kinda dance. K. But I don't know. This is not what I remember as a kid.
Oh, I'm looking at it, and all I see is the two chairs facing the wall. Yeah. I don't even see the other thing that you're you're talking about. This is in Franklin, Tennessee? It's in Tennessee.
Yeah. It's two screens, two chairs. That's it. Look. I know.
Look. Here's the thing. Oh, I see the I see the other thing. The dance column? Yeah.
And maybe they they've added that. That's new. Oh. Yeah. It's in the same room as the It is as the two chairs.
Here's the thing. I don't know that a lot of folks are going to the fast food restaurants for the play experience. I think that certainly was a thing. Well, then I wonder if COVID took it out. Well, there's that too.
You know? That's a very good point. Because you used to have they used to have those containers where you could put your shoes in the containers, and you had to leave your socks on. Right. But if nobody's cleaning the ball pits from when you worked at a place where nobody cleaned the ball pits Right.
Then there was nobody there to sanitize Well, correct. During But, also, I mean, kids are rough on stuff, and things break and stuff gets, you know, just really and if you and, look. I I get it. There are there are still places that are designed for play, but I would hope that they treat it a little bit differently than they did back in the nineties and '2 early '2 thousands. That's kinda where I'm at on it.
I think a lot of people were going there to eat, and they were like, okay. Alright. Go go play kids. Like, there's still a couple of restaurants around town that have that. Yeah.
But I think, you know, a lot of the fast food chains did away with it. So I think you're right. The fact that this even has two chairs with tablets and a jumpy pole arcade game looking thing. But it is. That's probably a step forward for what they had before, which is nothing.
It is kinda sad, though, isn't it? Just those two lonely little chairs. Yeah. I mean, there's not even a table nearby where, like, the parents would be sitting and go, okay. Go sit over there.
It's it is a sad little corner. They do still have the rules on the wall that says keep your socks on at all times. Yeah. That's that's important. Because socks don't get dirty at all.
So there's a good barrier there. Socks don't have germs? No. No. That's fine.
No. Please no running. No. Yeah. No.
Don't run. Our insurance won't cover it if you fall, so don't run. Keep your socks on. Have you seen those videos that people are posting where it's like, my mom used to be my emergency contact, and now it's this guy. Yeah.
Yeah. Yeah. And and then he's falling off of a diving board all ridiculous or or, you're trying to jump head first into a floaty or something ridiculous. Like, just absolutely Yeah. Unsafe or or so awkward.
Like, yeah. I've seen I've seen it happen. My emergency contact. Cool. Cool.
Cool. What's the sound that goes along with that? What's the the song? Oh, I don't know. You know?
No. But the one that you told me yesterday, I said, Josh, we gotta film something like this. This is hilarious. I said, but you never do anything bad. You're always safe.
Aw. You're always cautious. And you said that you had read something and somebody said Okay. The it was it was a a woman who said, I will never be anyone's emergency contact because I am the emergency. And it showed her kinda going over a little ski hill and just face planting down the face of the mountain.
Yeah. That's kinda my life. It was it was pretty good. So I shouldn't be your emergency contact because I am the emergency. If I needed to if I needed to rescue you in fact, this happened.
I was just thinking there was a time that we were floating down a river. Do you remember? Yes. The in in lava, we're floating down the port enough. Yeah.
Yes. And you decided that you were gonna take everybody on a on a flippy tube ride? That's not what happened. Oh, I didn't know if because that's where you where your nephew flipped in the whole thing? Yeah.
Yeah. And you thought everyone was dying, but everything was under control because everything was? Well, first of all, I was mad at you because I didn't wanna ride in my own tube. I wanted to ride in a tube with you. Uh-huh.
And you said, I don't wanna ride in a tube with you. I wanna ride in my own tube. And I was like, well, that's rude. I guess I'll ride in my own tube alone. Get your own tube.
I don't want my own tube. You're gonna be fine in your own tube. And then my nephew flips, and I freaked out. So I jumped out of my tube to try and save him, and you're in the background going, stop it. I can't save both of you.
Get back in your tube. I know. And then why are you trying to help right now? I I shouldn't have because I have no help. Just stay afloat where you can.
This is it's the song. It's from Hannah Montana. It's Ordinary Girl, is the song in the background. Oh, I didn't know there's a song in the background. Yeah.
There's always a song. This one. Yeah. Okay. Yeah.
That's the song that is in the, in the video trend. I don't know if that necessarily fits. Ordinary Girl? Yeah. I think the idea is, is just that it's a sound in the background.
Oh. But, that's typically you just hear that, then you have the text that says, this is my emergency contact, and something terrible is happening, like, like falling off of a mechanical bull or, what are some other examples? Let's see. Being pulled behind a snow machine, face planning, and snow drift. Just tripping down the stairs.
Or up. Tripping up the stairs. I'm I've been known to do that a time or two. Get that on film. What you'll hear is clunk clunk clunk, and then I'll hear from some other room, you okay?
Yes. I fell up the stairs again. It's every day. Hey. Am I your emergency contact?
I think so. You think so? Well, yes. You are. What do you mean?
Come on. Yeah. Okay. Good. Like, I think if if my phone did or my watch detects that I fell down too hard, it automatically calls you.
Does it? Yeah. I didn't know you had that fancy of a watch. Yeah. That's lovely.
Like, if I'm in bike mode and it detects that I crashed, which it can, then it it will it'll say, hey. Hey. I don't ever wanna get that phone call. So, no, let's not do that. I'm bicycle when I'm in bicycle mode.
Oh, bicycle. Yeah. Not motorcycle mode. There's not a motorcycle mode on it doesn't track my motorcycle miles. So I'm not I get that.
Like, my heart rate is just, wow. Casual rides too. Motorcycle your bike. I can't I meant bicycle. Between the two.
I meant bicycle. It's typically hiking, walking Can I call you my EC from now on as a term of endearment? Why not? This is my EC. Yeah.
I'll introduce you that way. Yeah. This is my EC. Yeah. That's how yeah.
This and this is my, my emergency contact instead of spouse. Or partner or friend or husband. Or Yeah. All I am to you is, is the person that you call in case you get hurt. When I'm in danger.
Yeah. That's right. Crashed my bicycle. Call him. That's what you'll say.
Yeah. Yeah. You're the number one on my preset phone too. I What does that even mean? I don't know.
Like, on my one on my preset phone. Like, my car has Bluetooth, and so I have preset phones. Contacts. Yeah. Yeah.
And you're number one. I see. Emory's number two. That's just because she picks up. And She does answer the phone.
Yep. She's been she's been known to answer the phone. I mean, in line, he would be second because he's older, but he doesn't pick up his phone, so he's unpredictable. That is fair. If you wanna climb the ranks, you gotta earn your position.
You do. It's a simple little thing, bud. Just answer the phone. Reply to a text. Yeah.
It's all it takes. It's pretty simple. Yep. You can reclaim that number two spot. I don't think he wants it.
No. He's like, don't bug me. Yeah. I think he's like, I don't wanna be anybody to work with. Don't call me.
Gotta come rescue you? Yeah. Leave me alone. That's not for me. Would you rather this or that?
Spring edition. Spring. Would you rather help baby animals at a farm or pick fresh produce from a garden? Okay. Go ahead.
I'm going with baby animals. Alright. I would like, to pick the produce. That's how you handle the farm. You're gonna take care of the animals.
I'm gonna take care of the vegetables. Okay. We don't need to handle a farm. It's just a one day thing. Oh.
So you just for one day, oh, I'd like to pick the produce, or I'd like to help baby animals. I thought it was a multi day thing. No. It's just a one day thing. Oh.
You sent me a video yesterday. You really wanna go start a farm. Well, listen. I don't wanna start a farm. I there's already a farm starting.
They're just looking for people to help farm it, and that sounds might be okay. Not fun. It's just produce. Okay. There's no animals there?
Not that they've said. Okay. Not that I don't I like animals. I just don't wanna have to wake up at five to feed them. I can barely get myself awake at five.
I can't be responsible for making sure animals get fed at five. Okay. That's fair. I can't do it. I used to know some friends in high school who would wake up and feed their cows every morning, and I was like, why do you live with your family?
You like that? Yeah. Oh. Gross. Yeah.
That's I'm picking the foods. Okay. I'm gonna pick the babies. Alright. Baby animals.
And then we took care of the farm. Look at us. Just quick and easy like that. We're farmers. Alright.
No. We're not. We are not even close. No. We could be.
No. I don't. There's a there's a farm starting up, and they're looking for people to farm it. And you can have, free housing, and you only have to farm fifteen hours a week. And the rest of the time, you get to just do whatever.
But what's the catch? There's gotta be something else. How do you get paid? How do you get paid enough? The housing is included, and you're harvesting foods.
But you're gonna need money to do other things. I I will fish, and it will be fine. I'll eat vegetables Okay. And I will fish. It sounds nice.
I could go on a walk every day. Yeah. I could take a nap. Yeah. Every day.
Every day. In the wilderness. As we did. It's a wilderness farm. Come on.
I'll watch that video again. More seriously. And now just there might be some Kool Aid involved is my fear. Oh, yeah. Exactly.
That's my my fear is that, like yeah. But also, everyone wears the same shoes, and there's a Kool Aid. Yeah. That's my fear. Exactly.
The rest of it, I'm like, yeah. I'll go farm and then fish, and I'll contribute to the community. Yeah. No. There's the catch.
Oh, I don't it's a it's a compound. Strawberry Kool Aid. No. Okay. You and I have, had several discussions over the past little while about what they call a sleep divorce, which is not a great name, but it is it is what it sounds like.
It is two people who A sleep separation. Otherwise very happy together, but just prefer to either sleep in separate beds or separate bedrooms depending on the situation, for their own sanity. Maybe they have different sleep schedules. Maybe one's a snorer and one's a light sleeper. Maybe one's a tosser turner.
Maybe somebody likes it warm, somebody likes it cold. Whatever the scenario, we've talked about that a lot. There's a new one, though. What? It's a bathroom divorce Oh.
Which I feel like we've sort of silently done. That's mostly because I don't go to the basement bathroom Right. Because it's too cold. But but not that we don't use them ever. Just that, like, when it comes to the majority of getting ready for the day or or where you shower or where your stuff lives Mhmm.
My stuff lives downstairs in that bathroom. Your stuff lives upstairs in the in the upstairs bathroom. Mhmm. You like to take a bath. I don't care that we own a bathtub.
That's not sad if we didn't have a bathtub. Right. And I don't care. I don't like showering up there because we don't have a slip mat, and my feet get what's the word? A skedaddly.
Whoop whoop whoop whoop whoop whoop whoop every time I try to shower. A cartoon character trying to run? Don't like it. So there's there's several reasons that contribute to me, going downstairs. One thing that I have brought to your attention lately that wasn't an issue this morning for some reason is the amount of water that is left on the sink area Okay.
After you use it. Because I've heard your complaints, and I've been trying harder to make sure that it's cleaner. I noticed there was a washcloth on the counter today, and it wasn't, it wasn't all drippy. That's like the first time I've noticed something, but I wanted you to know I did notice. Okay.
Well, I heard Because I go in to brush my teeth complaints. In the morning. I that's, like, that's the one thing I do daily in that bathroom morning and night is brush my teeth. My toothbrush lives in there. That's it.
It's in the medicine cabinet put away behind everything, so it's just tucked away. That's it. Everything else I do is downstairs. So what's happened here is this couple in Maryland were fed up with constant battles over toothpaste lids, toilet seats, towel arrangements. And so Towel arrangements.
Debbie and her husband, they decided to to embark on this bathroom divorce. And Debbie, who used to complain about her husband's messiness, and Jim, who said Debbie was too fussy about the space, each claimed their own bathroom made to their exact specifications, and now they have found their own bathroom bliss and their relationship is better for. So, again, I think you and I sort of have just done this. We've found our own bathroom bliss. Yeah.
Our own bathroom bliss. The people that write these things. I don't necessarily care either. I I just mostly don't go in the basement bathroom because it's cold down there. Yeah.
If we had our own bed bathroom, we don't have our own master bathroom. No. But if we did, I would do the his and hers sink thing in it. So we'd have our own spaces, and you would leave your side a mess, and my side would be very organized. Are you serious?
Yes. I am very serious. I'm not messy. No. I know.
But if you had counter to just leave things on, you would. No. I wouldn't. You don't think so? Away.
What is out on the counter that's mine? No. No. We don't have a counter. Like, all we have is the tiny little sink area.
Very little config. Would not do that. You don't think if you had, like, a bunch of counter, you would have your makeup stuff there. No. I put it away.
I don't like that stuff out. I put it away. I you don't even know eyeballs are huge. We've been You don't even know. We've been married twenty years.
You don't even know me. I don't know you in a bathroom with counter space. I know our son leaves his stuff out, and it drives me nuts. And so I'm constantly putting his stuff back in his drawer. Yeah.
You share a bathroom with our son. Right. How's that going? Well, I put his stuff back away in his drawer every time. Because I'm like, why is this stuff out on the counter?
Put it away. You have a drawer. Put your stuff in the drawer. It's not me. I don't do that.
You don't even know me. You're right. I don't know you in that in that space where you would have your own section of a bathroom counter. Think. We've lived in a couple of different spaces, but each space has been a tiny little sink.
We've never had the, like, his and her big counter, two sink, two mirror thing. Nope. Nope. We haven't. Right.
So I don't know you and how you would behave in that space. For shame. I know how I behave in that space because I know how I behave in every space. You would know how I behave in that space because how I behave in that space is how I behave in every space. I'm a behavior.
I'm so mad at you. Why are you mad at me? Because you don't even know me. It's a good thing we don't share a bathroom. I tell you what.
