And it won't do the eye drops won't hold your nails on. So, you know Yeah. Don't They'll just get your fingers wet. You're right. Josh Brown is missing things exactly where he'd left them, and he did not apologize to me for assuming that I took them.
I never did. You assumed that that's what I was saying when I said, I might have left them in a pile somewhere. Did you move them? I didn't ask if you moved them. I didn't accuse.
I I was trying to figure anyway, you'll hear it in the show. I'm tired of cooking dinner. I've done it for two nights in a row. You've done it for a night and a half. That's two nights.
That's a night and a half. You you only half helped. That's a lie. I three quarters helped. A night and three quarters.
A night and a half if if even. It's still too much cooking. It's okay. A group of dudes discussed how to paint their wives' fingernails. And we all decided that the little paintbrush that comes in there is stupid.
It's too wide. It's a terrible tool. Our daughter ate the full moon sandwich. One bite at a time. And hidden.
And hidden away. Cafe Zupas is coming to East Idaho. Soup for days. Yeah. Soup for days.
Are you excited? Yes. I know. You and our daughter are very excited. I say oop when I trip because I'm whimsical.
Is that the noise you make? Now I say whoop. Whoop. Whoop. Whoop.
Whoop. Whoop. Whoop. Oh, whoop. Whoop.
Okay. Very whimsical of you. Trading puzzles is all the rage. Everybody's doing it. Get with the program.
It's the big time deal. It is all that crazy. Who wants to trade puzzles? And clearly Canadian is back. Wow, Cherry.
Sounds gross. No. It's so good. Alright. Well, hey.
We're Josh and Chantel. I'm Josh. I'm Chantel. That makes us Josh and Chantel, and this is wake up classy 97, the podcast. Enjoy today's show.
Hi. Oh, hey. Good morning. Hello. Sixth annual fundraising for families is, is underway right now.
I was just gonna pull up the total if you wanna talk about how to get involved real quick. Absolutely. I can do that. Today is the final day of giving to support the Ronald McDonald Family Room at EIRMC. The Family Room opened its doors in 2019, and last year alone provided a home away from home to more than 600 families during their child's hospitalization, which is amazing.
And they it's free of charge for them. So that's incredible. If you wanna help out, you can be a part of the sixth annual fundraising for families. And all you have to do is click on the link in the Classy 97 app. We are trying to our goal is $70,000.
That's right. And right now, generous sponsors are matching up to $30,000 during this three day campaign. What's the total that we have so far? $31,816. That's amazing.
Thank you so much, everyone. This is huge. 31,816 as of right this second. That's incredible. Yeah.
Very, very cool. And we can do more. We can do more. We can raise more. All you have to do Yeah.
Click the link in the Classy 97 app. There's preset denominations, or you can choose your own. Mhmm. You can choose to make it a onetime donation or a monthly donation. It's super easy, and it feels good to help out.
That's right. And we a great cause. Yeah. I mean, if you haven't seen the family room, what a cool, cool place. And hopefully, hey.
Hopefully, you don't have to. That would be ideal. Yeah. But, you know, because we know kids get sick and kids get hurt, doing different stuff, we wanna make sure this place is available to, to folks either from East Idaho that are using the facilities at EIRMC or from, you know, families that are visiting the area. We have a lot of recreation stuff.
We got sand dunes out there. People get hurt, and they end up at the hospital. And, if you're a kid and you're a a parent of a kid, that can be incredibly stressful. So, the Ronald McDonald family room is just a a great facility to help with a little bit of normalcy in an otherwise chaotic experience that you're going through with your family. So, do wanna say thank you to, some of these amazing sponsors, Idaho Environmental Coalition, College of Eastern Idaho, Westmark Credit Union, the legacy sponsors, East Idaho McDonald's owner operators, the Chickas and Johnson families.
Thank you so much to those, folks for stepping up to make this happen as well. And everybody who's already donated, thank you. Thank you. If you have not had the chance to do so yet, today is the final day of giving to support the sixth annual fundraising for families. So, check that off your to do list today in the Classy 97 app, and thank you so much for doing so.
There are am I going? Am I good? You you're totally good. What happened? I don't know.
It's early. There are I talked about a story like this, like, a while ago, and then I just read another story where there are quite a few people a doctor said it's relatively common that people mistake nail glue for eye drops. I've we've talked about this. Yeah. Did.
But I don't know. Are they the bottles don't aren't the same, are they? I mean, it's the same. There's one particular brand that sells it in the same type of bottle. But, again, I the the eye drops that I use are blue.
It's in a blue bottle. Yeah. And I've used this particular nail glue before, and it's white. Now there is white bottled eye drops too. I don't know how this keeps happening.
Well, so I'm looking at it because I'm I I wanted to see. So I just Googled, nail glue versus eye drops. And I'm gonna tell you, I can see how this how this would happen. There are several bottles that look real they're it's a small little bottle. It's got a little twisty off cap.
Yeah. And if you aren't paying attention and you keep your nail glue in the same place, you keep your eye drops Don't do that. There's a possibility. But, yeah, number one step, don't store them in the same place. Or do something to make the glue That's what clearly not the one you should use.
Put a giant permanent marker x on the label. Doctors are saying. Or they're saying, like, tell yourself as you're doing stuff. Like, read the label out loud before you put it in. This is nail glue.
Put that down. Get something else out. Yeah. I've I can't I just can't imagine how much this must hurt. Do you know how awful it is to have something in your eye?
It's the worst feeling in the world. I I just and and it this is not, limited just to, like, a woman's issue. No. Because there are there are men who are just grabbing one for eye drops and doing it too. Yeah.
This is this is wild. There was, a time that we had just cut down a pine tree, and so there was sawdust all over our yard, and my older brother was bugging me. And so I grabbed a handful of sawdust Chucked it at him. And threw it in his eye. You are horrible.
I know. Know. What are you? A horrible little sister? I felt really bad.
No. He was a horrible brother. He was not horrible, but he was a typical, like I didn't hear him throwing, sawdust in your eyes. I got in a lot trouble. I've already done my comeuppance.
Oh, okay. I'm just saying. He was miserable for days and days and days after that happened, and I can't even imagine getting nail glue. How did they even get it off? How did they get your eyes unstuck?
The people that I'm seeing that have done this, they've got, like, an eye patch over their eye. It's like one has, like, a drain hose in there, like, a war. It's in it's in there to help dissolve the glue. I don't know. I also feel like it would rip off your eyelashes Dude.
Once you would open it. So bad. Be careful, everybody. Hey. Hi.
I can see how the mistake would happen. Like, I at first, I was like, no way. But they are a very similar container. They are. Also, have you ever mistaken I haven't done this personally, but I've heard of people who have mixed up toothpaste with Preparation h.
Nope. I've never heard that. I have. No. Yes.
People have heard that. No way. There is zero way. Look it up. I think it's a joke.
Look it up. There's no way. There's no way. I'm I've never grabbed a metal tube and been like, this is my toothpaste. Not metal.
Preparation eight is not it's plastic. It's in the same tube. It's smaller. Maybe maybe, I've only seen that when I was a kid, and it was in a metal tube. Yeah.
Maybe that's changed. Maybe that's the deal. It's changed? Yeah. The like, when you take the lid off, can't you clearly tell that's not toothpaste?
What does it look like? I have no idea. I think it's white. Okay. But isn't the thing Quit acting like you don't.
No. I don't. But isn't the cap like, isn't isn't it, like, elongated? Like, wouldn't you know you took the lid off and you went, oh. Yeah.
I mean, you would. Doesn't go off my toothbrush. Even think it has, like, the same consistency as toothpaste. Yeah. I don't And I don't know.
I don't wanna know. I think it's white, and my toothpaste is blue. I don't wanna know. I'm glad I don't, and I don't want to. That's where I stand on it.
Okay. Now we know where you stand. Yeah. I don't know, and I don't wanna know. So thanks.
I don't wanna know about the nail glue in the eyes anymore. Yeah. I'll stop talking about it because it's not a good idea. Awful. I mean, look.
This is a PSA. Don't It is. Don't mix them up. Read your labels out loud Yeah. To help with any confusion.
Put a giant x on the glue. Oh, yeah. Put a piece of duct tape on the lid. I don't know what you gotta do. Do something to designate.
This is not for eyeballs. Right. Right. Ugh. Crazy.
Don't put an I don't draw an I on it. Yeah. Don't don't do that. Don't draw an eyeball. On your nail glue?
Yeah. Alright. Or draw an I with an x through it. Yeah. No i's.
Yeah. That's what that means. Write the whole alphabet out, but skip the letter I. Or do you skip the letter e? No.
You skip the letter I. There's no I. Yeah. I know. But I No.
I understand that you spell I with an e, but that doesn't make sense. But you're never mind. Yeah. These are terrible ideas. No problem.
Your own idea that works. Let's do some good news. Let's do it. This is a really interesting story. So back in 1961, this Barbara Urban, she attended a party in San Diego, California, which San Diego is a great place to hang out.
San Diego. Yeah. Panic ensued as a toddler went missing Oh, no. And guests frantically searched the neighborhood for 21 old Ben Colwell, who had wandered away from home. Now for reasons she couldn't explain, Barbara decided that, in this search, she said, I am gonna check the neighbor's yard, which has a pool.
And there she discovered the terrifying sight of little Ben at the bottom of the pool. No. Without hesitation, she jumped in, pulled him out, performed CPR, saved his life as he regained consciousness. She is now 94 years old, Barbara. And, she was recently reunited with Ben, who is now 66 years old.
Oh. Thanks to the efforts of Ben's siblings. When Ben arrived at Barbara's door, she greeted him warmly saying, well, hello, young man. Aw. Ben is now a business owner and a father of two.
He's deeply grateful for the reunion. He said, thank you so much for looking for me. She said, I am glad it turned out the way it did, and he hugged her and said, me too. Aw. That's so lovely.
And now he's able to have a life and kids. And He's had quite a life. Yes. He is. Six.
He's a dad of two. He's Probably a grandpa? Potentially. Yeah. Pretty awesome.
That is amazing. And all because Barbara said, you know what? There's I gotta go check that one place. Tingling Mhmm. My spiky senses.
Yeah. Pretty awesome. And I'm glad they got to reconnect. Now that's probably because of the Internet, because someone probably said on on a social media thing, hey. This is, this is the story, and we wanna find this person.
I bet Internet sleuths and people that knew the story, said, actually, I know exactly, where that person is and who that is. And so that's pretty special. So, anyway Good job. I think that's sleuths. To get you going.
Let me just say that I am happy, so very happy that you found what you were looking for. Because you're tired of hearing about it. Tired of hearing about it. I gotta tell you, my brain over the past four days, maybe a little bit more than that. Well, what what day is it?
Thursday? So I've been working on this probably since Saturday. Friday or Saturday. It's almost a week. It seems it seemed longer than that.
Yeah. Well, me too. Here's the thing. I I lost a shirt, specifically, an older scout shirt that I had. It's got a bunch of bling on it.
It's got all kinds of badges and pins and Mentor pins. Knots and all kinds of stuff. Yeah. And I had, an eagle court of honor to go to on Monday, and I wanted to wear that shirt because it's got all the regalia. And I thought, man, I gotta find this shirt.
And I've I've been wearing a newer one that I that I had in the closet, and I finally said, why am I wearing this old shirt all the time? I should probably wear this new shirt more often because it's a like, it's like a brand new shirt that it's just been sitting downstairs. But it's boring that it doesn't have any of your black body. Have all the stuff on it. Right.
It doesn't it's it's missing a lot. Like, I don't even have the the colored loops on the epaulettes or epaulettes on the loops. There's a whole thing. Wow. I know.
That's not like you. I know. And so your bling. I know. But I I can't remember if I had thought I'm gonna transfer a bunch of the stuff over to this other shirt or not.
I don't know. But the point is I couldn't find this shirt for about a week. And then I was having an issue with my watch, and I have an extra watch band. And I and I'm like, man, where is this stuff? And I'm I've ripped apart the entire closet.
I have taken out, the drawers from the dresser and gone through all the stuff there. I have searched high and low in my studio. I was in the garage. I everywhere. I have been looking all over the place for these two items, and it occurred to me yesterday that they're probably together because that's really strange.
They ran away together? Well, kinda. But I also I'm a pile maker. Yes. And so I said, hey.
Oh, I'm out. I gotta tell you. You kept bugging me about where the shirt was. I just thought maybe you'd seen it in passing. No.
Listen. I said, I don't know. I don't remember seeing it. I don't have any idea where you put it. Gee, I just can't find it.
And then you had the audacity to kind of accuse you. Not. I never once said you moved my pile. But it No. Was there.
I what I said was, you know I'm a pile maker. And what I'll do when I'm cleaning in a a room, like our bedroom, for example, I'll put stuff in a in a pile on the bed, then it moves to the dresser, and then, eventually, it moves to the kitchen table. And then you go, when are you gonna do something with that pile? And I go, in a minute. I'm I've got six projects going in my brain.
I gotta work on those first. And then the piles might move sometimes, or it might get put on a chair. That's fair. Or people might come over and you'll be like, I just gotta deal with this. You know, throw it in a basket.
It ends up somewhere. Okay. That's fair. So that's why I wasn't accusing you of that. I'm just saying maybe that might trigger a memory, perhaps.
So I know I've got this thing somewhere. And, yeah, yesterday, I finally was like, I'm gonna have to really dig deep into the closet in my studio and see if this thing is in there. And so I I pulled out bins and boxes, and I saw my yellow backpack, which I knew was probably the bottom of that pile that I set somewhere, and I went, there it is. And so I called you in for the big exciting reveal. You did.
And I went, hey. Guess what? Was I that excited? No. No.
No. But I found my shirt and my wrist, my watch, bands were were with it. So glad. As I thought they might be, along with some other stuff. And I went, oh, yeah.
That's where that is. Now it's in my brain. Now I know where it is. I think at one time, you might have accused me of putting it in the donation bag. Nope.
And I went No. You offered that up as a suggestion and said, well, the all of these bags are other, you know, the kids' stuff and whatever. And I went, yeah. I know. I know.
I didn't put it in there. I know it's not in a donation thing. No. But it felt like you were accusing me of putting it in there. Nope.
I never accused you once. I just needed your help. That's all. Oh, I'm so glad it's found. Me too.
Stressful. Yeah. That whole adventure was just so much fun. Can't wait to do it again. Let me hurry up and lose something else so I can be like, where is it?
You will. I know. And then you'll drag us all into it, and then we'll say, I don't know. Yeah. Well find it.
It's been discovered. It's fixed. I found it. Life is good. Woo.
I've got a bone to pick with you. What? I've had to cook two nights in a row. Nuh-uh. Yeah.
Have I been busy with meetings and stuff all week? Yes. Yeah. I don't care for it. Well, you could wait until I get home and then But you've been getting home at nine.
I can't wait that long to eat dinner. My point is you could wait till then or just cook and that's it. I have been. I I don't understand. Enjoy it.
Why? Because it's not any fun. Although okay. Let me get this right. Early in our marriage, I did a lot of the cooking.
I didn't have a job, and so I did most of the cooking That's fair. I would say. So it's not that nose. Get out of here. Just kidding.
Go ahead. Sure. Early in our look. That's a true story. Early in our, relationship when our now 20 year old was a baby, you would cook a Totino's and walk it down to, this the radio station, which was a couple of blocks from where we lived and bring me a Totino's for lunch.
Because we were very, very poor. Stand. And I And those very much appreciate that. And we had one car. Yeah.
And you would take it to work. And I would say, I guess we're going on a walk today. Yeah. So Those What I'm saying is Okay. But that was for lunch.
That was different. For dinner, I would actually cook food. Yeah. Help me I'm aware. Meal so much so that you got so sick of the one thing.
Multiples. There are two meals. Which one? Chicken roll ups and the burger bundle things. Hi.
I'm we ate those a lot. You're wrong. No. Make those very often. We ate those a lot, and that's fine.
Okay. My okay. Let me finish my story. You gotta eat. So then over the years Uh-huh.
I've decided that I don't enjoy cooking. It's not any fun for me. I got sick of the kids complaining about what was being made, and so he said, I'm I'm done cooking. And you said, I like cooking. I do.
Great. I do enjoy cooking. You do it. And so quietly, those rains got transferred to you. Which is fine.
It is absolutely fine. It's all good. I've had to do it the past couple of nights. Two nights in a row, I've had to cook dinner. No.
Yeah. I don't care for this. Two whole nights? Yeah. Because Emery cooked on Tuesday, and you cooked or I guess on Monday, and you cooked yesterday and the day before?
Okay. To be fair, Emery cooked on Tuesday. But she needed some help because she wanted to make an appetizer, and she also wanted to make garlic bread. And I helped her. Hers was a two step process.
So I didn't cook the full meal. Yeah. But I definitely was like, oh, Emery's cooking. I can, like, do other things. And then she was like, can you help me?
And I went, yes. I guess. So, yeah, I had help that night, but still. Although, last night, I turned on some music, and I was kinda jamming in the kitchen, and I just made a soup. Okay.
So it was pretty easy. Yeah. It's dumping stuff in a pot. So I shouldn't complain that much. To get home early enough to have a hot meal because I've had to reheat the meals the past couple of nights, and that's been less than desirable.
But that's not anybody's fault, the the the length of these meetings that I've been at. So but I don't have anything going on tonight. Great. So You're on duty. Oh, great.
You're on cooking duty. What am I cooking? What are you cooking? I think we either have steak Oh, we probably should do the steak. Or we have, a teriyaki chicken.
Yeah. I'll be doing the steak. Yeah. Those need to be cooked. Yeah.
I gotta cook the steaks. I'm making steak. That's what's happening. Gotta get out the Blackstone. Oh, dang it.
I'm taking the night off from the weekend. Yeah. I'm done. I've done two nights in a row. That's too many.
So sorry. The other day, you asked me to help you paint your fingernails. Just my right one. Right. Because you are right handed.
You successfully painted your left hand by yourself, but you needed help with the right hand. Yeah. And so you said, hey. Can you do me a favor? And then you, told me that the fingernail polish you were using was old and gunky.
It was a that wasn't gunky. It was a little dried out, which I got a tip from somebody that said she keeps hers in the refrigerator. That's great. So I'm gonna try that. Good tip.
Yeah. Super. Here's, here's what I learned last night. Okay. I was at a at a scout meeting with some, what, three other guys.
So there's four of us Oh, yeah. Standing around. And they had heard, of me talking about how I wasn't very good at that, or I guess us talking about that. Because I, apparently, I I went sideways instead of You're side to side. Yeah.
Well, that's the preferred method I found out for, other guys who were in the room who have been in the exact same situation. And then and then as we were standing around for probably five to eight minutes or so talking about this Uh-huh. Found out, that when asked, all of, all of us have other hobbies that use smaller brushes. So whether that's model building, or, trains Okay. Or, you know, watercolor.
Like, there's all these things that that, we all have these other hobbies that we, have little tiny brushes. And we all agreed that the brush that they give you in that thing is the worst tool to paint fingernails with. And so, I found out that, when asked, our our friend Dave, gets out Xacto knives and, all kinds of little brushes. And Xacto knife? Yeah.
It's not a brush at all. No. But that way, you can scrape things back. You can move things around. You can Scrape things back with a knife Yeah.
An Xacto knife? Yeah. He's getting that detailed. That's terrifying. He builds model trains.
I get I know he does. So it he's detailed work here. My point is, we stood around for a good few minutes talking about painting, our wife's nails for way too long. I love it. Yeah.
And then and then all agreed unanimously that the brush that comes with the nail polish is the worst tool. So what tool would you recommend? A much smaller fine brush because you can't get the edges clean. One guy suggested, masking off the rest of the finger and then just painting it and then peeling the tape off like it's a roll. Like a like a wall.
Yeah. Like it's a wall. Just tape it off. You lay down the tape. You throw it on.
You don't have to worry about getting it on the sides because it's taped off. Okay. But now listen. I have seen some amazing nail work. My niece is a little a nail tech.
I know. She does very tiny detailed work. I bet she doesn't use that little brush that comes with it. I don't know what she uses. I guarantee it's not that brush.
Well, I'm sure she's got a multitude of brushes Right. Right, for different things that she needs to do. You gotta have more tools. I don't That one single brush that comes in the bottle, miserable. Absolutely miserable.
The only thing that brush is gonna be good for is if you are laying down a clear thing over the top, like an epoxy or a Mhmm. UV resin or whatever it is. Because that's what I use in in, several different, fly tying things. I have, if I'm doing, like, the body of a bug, I can brush it on because it it'll smooth out and it'll look really nice and it'll cover a larger area. That's the design of that brush.
But when you need to get those detail edges in there, terrible tool. Okay. But you are also going the wrong direction. Yeah. We all do that because sometimes you need to.
It actually makes way more sense. I don't know if it does. It does. I don't know. Because you can go that way to get some coverage, but then you can go the other way to smooth it out like you want.
My point is we've talked about it now for just about as long as the three or four of us stood around talking about it last night, which was really funny. I like it. I like that I got dudes talking about it. Yeah. We we had a lot to say about painting our wives' nails and how much we hate it.
But we appreciate that you do help. Yeah. But, also, we understand why people charge as much money as they do because it's dumb. It's fine detailed work. It's just Complicated process.
Yeah. Yeah. I get it. I don't wanna do it. So I know.
I'll I won't ask you again. But you'll have to or do, but get some new tools. But I don't know what kind of tools to have. A small very small brush. I don't have a small brush.
I know. That's why I said get tools. No. I do. No.
You don't go down to the craft bin and get some that's covered with acrylic paint on it from a craft. I wasn't gonna do that. Look at me in my face and tell me that. I wasn't. Yeah.
You didn't look at me in my face. Okay. Yesterday, we talked about a sandwich that we had made for our daughter. Now listen. I was told by a friend and somebody who listens to our show that we talk too much about sandwiches.
Listen. We talk a lot about food because we're hungry. It's 08:00 in the morning. We've been awake for three hours, and it's time for lunch. Well, this update needs to be said.
Right? And then will I promise? We have people with, a vested interest in the sandwich debacle. So if you're sick of our sandwich doc, I'm sorry. But Just tune tune it out for just a second.
Update needs to happen. Okay. Let's talk about it. Okay. Yesterday, you made a sandwich for our daughter.
I said cut it into some funny shapes. I cut a hole in the middle. Right in the middle. Yeah. Put the circle back in the bread.
Yeah. A guy I was talking to last night, he said, that he would he does the same thing. He'll take the circle out of the bread. That's how he makes toad in a hole. Oh.
Which Yeah. Which is yeah. That is how you make toad in a hole. Make toad in a hole. But that was just a toad in a hole ham and cheese sandwich.
When With no egg. When you and I were making that sandwich the night before our daughter was going to school, we were laughing. So we thought it was hilarious. Yeah. She was not amused when she woke up the next morning.
She sent us a video. Mostly confusion. Right? It was it was a % confused about why we would do that thing to her sandwich. You were concerned that she might not eat it or would be embarrassed to eat it at school.
She did here's the update. She did eat it. Yeah. Was she embarrassed? Yes.
She did not take the hole out of the middle of the sandwich. She just held it all in there and covered it. Yeah. And then kind of, like, she said that she kinda held it under the table until she would take bites because she didn't want her friends to see. She was embarrassed.
And then she would quickly take a bite and then put it back down. Like so last night, I made her a sandwich. A normal one. Normal Yeah. Sandwich, cut it in a diagonal, like normal.
I said, how do you want your sandwich cut? And she said, in a diagonal. Triangles. I said, how many? Because I can get you, like, four She was nine.
Eight. You want a whole bunch of little tiny triangles? Or asymmetrical triangle? I'll just hack at it. Just yeah.
Poor thing. That's the end of our sandwich talk. For now. For now. For now until the next sandwich story.
We've reached our sandwich quota. But but she did she did eat it the whole time. She did eat. Yeah. She ate the entire thing.
And I bet it tasted better because it had that whole cutout. And because it was made with so much love and humor. You know? Yeah. What a special day.
It was a special day. Special sandwich for a special day. Big news. Huge news. I found this out yesterday.
Okay. And the second I found out, guess what I did? You texted our daughter. I texted our daughter because she loves this place. And every time we go to Utah, we have to stop and go there because her favorite thing to eat is soup.
This is true. The two of you are so into soup. We love soup. We love soup. So the big announcement was made yesterday.
Is that the deal? Yes. Yesterday on East Idaho News. Okay. Cafe Zupas.
Yes. The award winning fast casual restaurant known for its handcrafted soup, salads, and sandwiches. Okay. It's coming to Ammon. Okay.
Yeah. Where where at? It is going to be in Foothills Square. Okay. It is going to be across from Culver's Uh-huh.
And Bass Pro Shops, former Oh, okay. Capella's. Yeah. Alright. Cafe Zupas.
Now I've never eaten at Cafe Zupas because every time, you guys eat there is when I'm not with you in Utah. That's not true. You had an opportunity to eat there. And And I went to In N Out. Yep.
You did. That's right. And I went, cool. Go to In N Out. Gross.
No. I made the better choice. You Of course. Sure didn't. Know.
Maybe I didn't. I've not eaten at Cafe Zuppa, so that's not fair of me to say. You don't love soup as much as I love soup. But I like soup with a sandwich. And they have what they do.
So I'm I'm kind of excited for that. Plus also, Josh Yeah. What else? Have the best desserts. Do they?
Yeah. And Is this where our daughter got hooked on chocolate eclairs? I think so. Makes sense. And they give you a chocolate covered strawberry.
With your sandwich slash soup? Yes. Really? Yes. No kid.
Yes. No kid. Yes. What do you know about that? And they have delicious iced tea.
Oh, man. Oh. It's so good. The whole I'm so excited. Really?
Yeah. Our daughter, when we, set when I sent her this information, she went, yes. She was in the middle of class. Yeah. She should have been paying attention.
I should not have texted her. Text, our kid when she's in school. This was important news, and I needed to get the word out to her. And she said, my dreams came true. Okay.
And then you said, where? And she said, brah, read. Right. Okay. So let's be clear.
It the title of the article is Cafe Zuppa's open first restaurant in Eastern Idaho. So that just told me it opened somewhere. Could be Pocatello, could be Chubbock, could be Ammon, could be Idaho Falls, could be Rexburg, could be Firth. It could be anywhere. Could be that kid.
That's my joke. It is the first in this side of the state. It is. So they have Azupa's in, in Boise then, I would assume? Because it says that this is the first one on this side of the state of Idaho.
So probably. I don't know. I've never eaten the one in Boise. We've eaten in Salt Lake before. But Okay.
Well, anyway, I'm so excited. I'm super excited too because I wanna try it, because I haven't yet. You had an opportunity to, and you chose the better or the wrong choice. I chose the wrong choice. In N Out?
Yeah. Oh, overt Cafizupas? Wrong. I wanted the burger. I wanted to get that double double animal style.
In N Out. We've talked about this before. It's so gross. It's overrated. That's a Soup.
Chantel hot take. Soup is where it's at. Okay. Soup. Cafe Soup is do we know when it's opening?
Twenty twenty six. Yeah. I know. Not till next year. Next year.
But it could be early next year. It could be Fingers crossed. Okay. Alright. Well, that's that's very cool.
I heard that if you do a double fingers crossed, then that's bad luck. So I just did a one fingers crossed for good luck. Where'd you hear that? I don't know. Excellent source.
Oh, jeez. I'm okay. I'm unprepared. You're okay? I'm unprepared.
You're okay. Well, I thought I had the thing saved, and now I can't find. Okay. Here it is. I saw a post that somebody had posted where, a women a woman asked other women, what are some, like, whimsical, quirky, little habits that you say to yourself?
And so the comments, the responses, I I love so much. Some of the whimsical things I say when I when I trip, which is quite regularly because I'm clumsy. I go whimsical? Well, not necessarily wins just something silly or goofy. Every time I trip, I go, whoops.
Whoops? Whoops? Whoops? Whoops? This woman said, I wear matching pajamas every time I change my sheets so that I can have what I call a fancy sleep.
Oh, yeah. That's whimsical. A fancy whimsical sleep. Yeah. Where's this other one?
Oh, if I wanna have negative thoughts about myself, I have to think of them in a cockney accent. So you which is just incredibly British. Right? Like, real British. Emery, when she gets nervous, she does a British accent.
Whenever she has to do a presentation or even before she went on stage at the at her place Really? She, yeah, she Well, I knew they were doing that backstage. I didn't know that was, like, a a thing, a coping thing. Does. Yeah.
Every time this woman walks by a mirror, she says, my lady. A wee bit nervous, I think is what she said. This one makes me laugh, and I wanna do this with our dog. I teach the dog how to do things either to make them more interesting for me, like, hey. Let me show you how to start a load of laundry or just to make him feel included.
Yeah. Check it out. Should I walk you through that again? I know it's hard to remember since you can't practice without thumbs. That's hilarious.
If, like, if she was just sitting there staring at you while you were doing that, giving her a tutorial, that's really fun. That anyway. The other day, I was trying to dance with her. I was trying to get her to do the hand drive. How'd that go?
It's so well. I bet not. Love No. I do like, that trend of, showing your dog things up high because they don't get to see them. We did that.
Yeah. You've shown her around all kinds of places, and it's hilarious because her feet just hang there. Like It's dangling. I don't know what's happening, but thanks for showing me the top of the fridge. That's cool.
This one is another one of my favorites. I tell my dishes it's bath time. Oh, maybe that maybe that'd work with our son. We could say, hey. Hey.
You need to give the dishes a bath. I like drinking water at night out of a small wooden bowl. Uh-huh. It makes me feel like I'm being nursed back to health. No.
That's weird. That's very weird. I wash dishes by candlelight listening to medieval tavern music and pretend I'm a tavern witch. Oh, well, okay. That's fun.
It's so funny. I love it. Just silly little things that make life more enjoyable. Don't take it so serious. Don't take it so seriously.
I think that's the motto. That's cool. Welp. Welp. Thanks for sharing.
You're welcome. You like a good puzzle? I do. And it really honestly, it started probably as, like, a family tradition thing around New Year's, that we would always do a, a a puzzle. And I think from there, it sort of just evolved into, me just, enjoying them anytime.
Okay. Do you enjoy a puzzle? I don't. I know that about you. I think they are overwhelming and also boring.
You get overwhelmed. I do. That's an interesting thing. All the puzzle pieces, and I go, oh, this is gonna take so long. And I just I I don't enjoy the process of it.
I know a lot of people think that it's relaxing. Right. It is actually a big thing. I was just doing some research, and they say that it it'll, like, train your mind like a muscle. Nope.
It, helps your brain not be lazy, so it shakes up your your clever, lazy brain. It also lets you focus on one thing at a time. It slows everything down. And it also there are, like, athletes that will do jigsaw puzzles to keep their mind sharp. I see.
And that is not it's no it's no fun for me. It's not relaxing. It's stressful and also boring. Okay. Now you get puzzles, and then you finish them, and then you go, what am I supposed to do with this now?
Like, you've done it. You can put it in you take it apart, put it back in the box, or you can glue it together and and frame it, display it. And some people do that. I don't know. But by the time you get done with so many puzzles, I mean, are you gonna do that with every puzzle Right.
That you complete? Right. What am I gonna do with that 800 cats? Some in sunglasses, some in hats. That rhyme I know.
As well. You know the one. I do. We don't have that puzzle, but do we? We have a cat puzzle.
It was Emery's. With a hundred cats? It's got a lot of cats, but they have yarn. Oh. I don't think they have.
I was thinking of the one that was sort of pop art y, but also I know what you're talking about. Lisa Frank edge. Yeah. I know exactly what you're talking about. A bunch of cat faces.
So you saw something where people will do puzzle trade. That's right. And we have a a friend who's also a puzzler, and so she and I have, decided we're gonna trade puzzles. We're gonna exchange puzzles, which is awesome. Yeah.
So I traded one to her. She sent me a picture of, of the box of one and said, do you wanna try this one? And I went, yes. Do you Please. Let's go.
Prefer to puzzle alone, or would you would you think about puzzling with somebody else? I I don't mind. Like with somebody else? Well, yeah. Our daughter, she is a puzzler as well.
And so she hates that. The way that you puzzle? No. She doesn't, and it makes me crazy. So so that would be Because I have well, I have a bit of an organized method to the chaos of all the pieces where, like, yeah, you gotta go through.
You can find all the edge pieces. That's fine. But then I like to depending on the puzzle, I like to match things by either colors or patterns or if it has words on it or if I can tell it's a part of a certain part of the puzzle, I'll put all those in a pile. And I had been sorting those things in the bottom in the lid of the box, and so I had, like, six or eight different piles going inside the lid and and the thing. And she came over and just started shuffling them around looking for stuff.
Things were turning upside down. She wasn't turning every piece right side up. You're good. I was losing my mind. You're good.
You're losing your mind. I'm thinking about it. So hard to watch. I was very like, what is happening right now? Because this is not how you puzzle.
I like to do puzzle piece puzzles upside down. No. You don't. And then think about what it's gonna look like. No.
You don't. I wonder what it's gonna look like. Yeah. No. That's gotta be from a movie or something.
Yeah. Okay. So you sort by color and edge pieces. Do you dump out the whole box and then sort, or do you No. Take pieces at a time and sort?
Yeah. I guess it depends. So, typically, I'll have, like, sort I'll use the the lid and the and the bottom of the box as a sorting trays. It'd be nice to have they make puzzle sorting trays where you can have, like, four or more, you know, of them, and you can make more piles. That would be helpful.
But I'll just take them all in, you know, where wherever it's at, and I'll go, okay, in my hand, and I'll go, there's corners. There's so I sort as I go. Fun. Yeah. And then once I finish sorting or I've got a pretty good majority of the sorting done, that's when I'll start building the edge out.
Or if I found, like, these six pieces are the face of something, I'll piece those together real quick or whatever. Okay. Here's a question for you. Mhmm. Okay.
This is a multiple choice. Alright. How do you handle a missing puzzle piece? You search the whole house like a detective, accept it as a cruel twist of fate, blame your sibling spouse pet immediately, or cut a new piece out of cardboard and pretend it fits. See.
Yeah. Yeah. I've been on the receiving end of that. You blame me immediately. I found it on the floor.
Yeah. I know. I finished the puzzle piece. Except for the last piece, and I felt like because I am an older brother and you are a little sister, I honestly felt like this is a move you would do, or you just grabbed one piece and put it in somewhere sneaky just to have it so that when I got done with everything, there was one missing. And you're like, oh, that's too bad.
And then you one day, you know, the next day or whatever after I'd been disappointed about it for a while, you'd walk by and go, oh, it looks like that piece is in there already. Has it been missing? You sure? And that's what I felt like would happen. Oh, I can see how you might be confused because that that does sound like something that I would do.
Right. It it does. I I probably have done that in the past. Felt like I, like, I need to guard the pieces. I have to be very alert when I just have a puzzle sitting out because someone's gonna come by and grab a piece or two and be like, good luck finishing that.
Try finishing it down. Exactly. Yeah. Have fun puzzling. You know what I'm saying?
Puzzler. Yeah. Don't call me that. You know, like, being called the puzzler. No.
You put not like that. You puzzler. Noted. Oh, great. Josh doesn't like being called?
The puzzler. Oh, you you like puzzles? Mhmm. Yeah. Like that.
It's so rude. Oh, you're a puzzler? Good for you. You're putting together jigsaws? Sweet.
Cool. Yeah. Have fun. Hours. Yeah.
We'll be able to do something cool. Yeah. We're gonna be laughing over here in the corner. You go ahead and enjoy that puzzle by yourself quietly. Yeah.
As the cardboard starts to warp from the tears being bullied. This is amazing. Keep puzzling. No, you puzzler. Keep puzzling, bud.
Huge, huge developments What is it? In, my nineties heart. Okay. What's up? I was born in 1981, so that means I was a teenager nineties.
When I would ride the bus to school, my bus stop was next to a Circle K. Okay. And right? Is that what it's called? Circle K?
Uh-huh. Mine was next to a save fast. Okay. I think it was a Circle K, regardless. When I had money, which wasn't very regularly, but when I had money and I had time, I would I mean, my friends and I would jump into that Circle K, and we would get Ah.
Snacks. Okay. And one of my favorite snacks was clearly Canadian. Do you remember this? Little, fruit water.
Yes. Okay. And then that went away. I don't know when that went away, but guess what? What?
It's back. And I Okay. I found I Cool. I found out it was back because your celebrity girlfriend, Christina Ricci, posted about it. Is she excited as well?
Yes. Because she also bought it at the Circle k while waiting for the bus? I don't know whether she did or not. Why? Because she was a child actor.
Yeah. Oh, she's so cool. Listen. It's also for sale at Costco Oh, by the case. In a variety pack.
Oh, no. And clearly Canadian's Instagram post said, we are back. Look. Clearly Canadian. Look.
What was your favorite flavor? I don't know. I don't think I've ever had it. What? What did you get at the gas station then when you were waiting for your buzz?
Oh, those sour candies, that had the little fizzy stuff in the middle that came in, like, a string of, like, eight of them. What? They were like a little hard candy on the outside, but then on the inside was sour stuff. Never had that? No.
I have no idea what you're talking about. Well, that's what it feels like. You never have the thing someone's talking about. I can't believe you didn't have clearly Canadian. No.
Clearly Canadian. I know. You grew up in a different kind of rich household than me. I all we had was tap water. I didn't have fancy Canadian water.
I had to use my own money for this, BT dubs, and it was probably my babysitting money. Yeah. And my if my mom knew that I was doing that before the bus, I'm sure she would be like, girl. Girl. That's what she'd say.
Yeah. Girl. I'm so excited. The OG of sparkling water, they say. All I can see is your phone, so I don't know what your Oh, I'm sorry.
I don't even know what your face looks like right now. Here it is. There it is. The OG of sparkling water. Yeah.
OG stands for original gangster. I know. Like, the original. Yeah. The original.
The original sparkling sparkling water. Are they? Yeah. Are you sure? Yeah.
You don't think that, that green bottle is older than clearly Canadian? Green bottle of what? Of sparkling water? I don't know what green bottle that is. We're gonna pull it up here.
Wild cherry was my favorite flavor in case you wanted to know. You didn't ask. I asked you, you, but you didn't ask me. You're right. Also, Josh, it came in a glass bottle with a twist cap.
No. I know. So you had to be very careful when putting it in your backpack. Because it would leak? No.
It would break if you weren't careful. Leak. No. He just twisted the cap on. Joseph Priestley invented sparkling water in 1767.
Did you know that? I did not. Clearly, Canadian was not the first. Whatever Joseph Priestley, great grandfather of other priestlies Jason. That's him.
He invented sparkling water in 1767. In 1767. That's right. Sparkling water was invented in 1767. I feel like maybe that was just snake oil.
No. It was sparkling water. He was a scientist, a philosopher, a clergyman, and, he suspended a bowl of water, above a a beer vat in a brewery, and he dripped sulfuric acid into that vat, And the carbon dioxide produced during the fermentation carbonated the water and bada bing, Joseph Priestley's sparkling water from 1767. That sounds so safe. That's why that's how he made it.
He dissolved carbon dioxide in water, and it created a pleasant taste. Oh, clearly, Canadian is so pleasant. It has such a pleasant taste. I gotta go get some. Okay.
And then we're gonna we're gonna see what your favorite flavor is. That sounds good. Wild cherry is not gonna be your favorite flavor because you think it tastes like cough syrup. I bet it does. It doesn't.
It tastes like wild cherry, not tame cherry. Alright. Wild. Unbroken. Yeah.
Would you rather this thing or that thing? Would you rather this or that? It's would you rather. Would you rather walk through a field of tulips Oh, spring edition. Holland.
Spring edition. K. A field of tulips in Holland. That sounds nice. Do you have to wear those wooden shoes, or can I just trudge about?
No. If you wear whatever you wanna wear. With you. Just wear whatever you wanna wear. Or visit Japan for cherry blossoms season.
Cherry blossoms. Really? Yeah. When we were in San Diego and we went and saw those and we only got to see a a few of them because we were a couple of days after the big festival Yeah. And the big blooming event.
They're they're really, really pretty. They're gorgeous. Yeah. Right. And okay.
So, also, in San Diego, we went to the flower fields, and we and we saw all those, which I assume would be similar to what you would see in the tulip fields of Holland, but maybe, on a grander scale. I'm picking the tulips. Are you? I think both of these would be amazing to see. The cherry blossom season in Japan would be amazing.
Yeah. Tulip in Holland, amazing. But I'm going I'm going tulips because I love have you seen pictures of that? Yeah. I have.
I wanna go there for real. Yeah. I wanna go to there. Oh, okay. I wanna go to there.
