Hey, over there. Hey, over there. You wanna join me? Yeah. I can barely hear you.
Okay. Hi. Hey. How are you? Welcome to the podcast.
Thank you. Thank you. Yeah. It's what? Nothing.
Hi. It's Monday. It's Monday, March 17, Saint Patrick's Day, and it kicked off with bad luck. And great impressions. I am 38% Irish and British.
Or something like that. I don't I don't know how much Irish you have in there. Probably, I'd say about 25%. Twenty, twenty five % of the 38 is Irish Yeah. Disagree.
My nephew turned down my offer to his wedding. You're you're never gonna let that go. Kinda bummed. Yeah. I thought we had a plan.
That's a grudge holder right there. The five year old knows how she wants to celebrate her birthday, and she's onto something. Yeah. No more blowing on candles in case. Singing to me.
No more singing. Nobody likes that. Yeah. Something is wrong with the scotcheroos. What is it?
I made them. Oh, that's what's wrong? Okay. Try again. The Air Jordan Cheeto can be yours if you win the auction.
Yeah. For $6 so far. Yeah. All you need is thousands of dollars. It's a flaming hot Cheeto.
You need good gloves to run a shovel That's good advice. If you wanna run a shovel. Not if. When you're running that shovel, you're gonna wish you had good gloves. The Museum of Idaho now has the post register archives on 15 pallets.
Wow. Isn't that it's wild. That's cool. The unibrow is no mo. No mo unibrow?
Unibrow. No mo? Where'd it go? Where'd that unibrow go? Out of doubt.
Alright. Would you know if you've made it as a band? I I I don't know. I'm not in a band. But, hey, it's a good interview question.
It is. Yeah. We're the Goonies generation. Look at us. It's our time now.
Down here, it's our time. It's their time up there, but down here, it's our time. It's our time now. On this podcast, it's our time, Chantel. It's our time now.
I know. And we threw out a little Irish wisdom for Saint Patty's Day. Alright. Saint Patty's Day. Yeah.
It's another good one. We are Josh and Irish Chantel. Ay. Ay. And my my Irish pirate.
This is Wake Up Classy 97, the podcast. Hope you enjoy the show. It's, Saint Patty's Day. That's a pirate. Hold on.
Let's let's, let's explore this a little bit. Go on. Yeah. I know. I'd like to I'd like to hear more of your Irish accent.
Yeah. I bet you would. Mhmm. But you're not gonna. So too bad for you.
Blarney Stone and And the luck of the Irish. That was pretty good. Right? Sure. Sure.
Sure. Sure. Sure. I'm not I'm not hating. What do you got?
Oh, I'm Let's hear yours. Nah. Oh, mhmm. I just wanted to hear yours because I know you always works. Yeah.
Lucky charms and all that. Try that line. Mm-mm. Why? Because if you're not gonna play, I'm not gonna play.
No. I'm I just wanted to hear you do it. Yeah. I know. I wanna hear you do it.
It might be better luck for you this morning if you do it. Better luck. I had some bad luck this morning. I know. I don't know what is going on.
It's been only a couple of months since we replaced the battery in your car. And this morning, it is totally dead. Totally. And that means something larger is going on, and I'm real not excited about that. Listen.
The problem I don't know what the problem is. But when you go outside, I went outside this morning to start our cars while I waited for you to finish getting ready. My key wouldn't even lock. Like, it wouldn't even unlock my car. And then I go, well, that's weird.
So I look for a keyhole to pop the key in to unlock the car. Can't find it. So then in a panic, I go, what am I supposed to do? Oh, I have an extra. Let me go find the extra key.
Went to find the extra key, doesn't even unlock that one. Yeah. I thought my key fob was just dead. That's an easy fix. It wasn't your fob.
Now the whole car is completely, dead. You couldn't even find where to put the key in the I couldn't even get into my car. I know. Well, you eventually figured that out, which is good. But then, I grabbed the voltmeter to check the battery, and it's at four volts, you said?
4.6. Four volts. That is, very not the right number. Oh, no. That should be 12 to 13, especially on a brand new battery.
It's a brand new battery. So that's not good news. And it isn't like your car sat there for, like, months. No. Like, it's been sitting since we parked on Right.
Friday. Yeah. Yeah. And drove my truck this weekend. So, yeah, I don't know.
Lights were off. I checked my lights. They weren't even left on. That is something else. I know.
I don't know what A dome light, maybe. I don't know. No. I mean, why? I don't know.
I got home in the middle of the day. Well, three. So the light was still out. Yeah. I don't know.
Maybe the kids went out to get something in the night. I don't know. I really don't know. Either. But that's not that's not good.
I hate car problems. So that's bad luck at the end of the day. Bad luck. I've got no no luck today. I am wearing green.
I am as well, so at least there's that. I'm not gonna get pinched. Maybe I wanna get pinched to grow an inch. Okay. Alright.
They, they turn the Chicago River, green for Saint Patrick's Day. Safe. Well, they use 50 pounds of dye. What kind of dye? I whatever it is, and it and it lasts only five hours, and then it goes away.
K. That seems weird. How come it only lasts five hours? Because then it well, the water moves. It isn't just sitting there.
It's a river. So it it takes five hours for it to moves. Or to to just disperse. I don't know how safe that is, and I worry about the animals Animals. In the Was that your Irish accent leaking through again?
Listen. I'm a tiny bit Irish. I'm more Scandinavian than Irish. Have you looked that up? Yeah.
No. You haven't. You're making that up. That is made up information. Well, good morning.
Happy Saint Patrick's Day. Hope your, day kicks off with a little better luck than Chantel's. Yeah. Well, I guess I'm involved in that luck too. You are.
Because you're gonna have to fix it. Right. Bad luck. How are we gonna celebrate Saint Patty's Day? Oh, I don't know.
Are there ways to celebrate? Are there Oh, yeah. Bundles of ways? What else? How should we be celebrating?
Well, what I know I'm going to do is I'm gonna try all of those, Shamrock shakes. You've been talking about that. You wanted to do that over the weekend. I don't know what happened. I don't either.
But, you you, like, made a list of all the Yeah. Minty Green shakes. All around town. Yeah. How many are there?
Okay. I think Wendy's has one. I think McDonald's has one. I think Arby's has one. I think Culver's has one.
I think Dutch Bros has one. Five. I might be forgetting someone. I think that's it. That might be it.
Five. Five. Milkshakes. Well and Wendy's isn't green. No.
But it's mint. But it's It's and it's good. I've had that. That's good. I wanted to taste test all of them and come up with the best one.
But you wanna be great stuff. Oh, McDonald's has two. That's why I'm forgetting. They have two? Yeah.
I can't remember what they're called. Okay. One they're they actually have the Shamrock shake. They're that's where that one actually comes from. Right.
I know that. But you're saying that there's potentially five or six different shakes. Like, there's no way one person being me or one person being you are going to full on eat six milkshakes. That's why we're getting one from each place, and then you and I share. Oh, okay.
That's steak. That's better. Yeah. That's how I'm gonna celebrate. But what you could do That still is the equivalent of eating two and a half to three milkshakes per person.
That's a lot. Well, you don't have to finish them all completely. You just try a couple of bites, and then you got a lot of get a small at that at each spot. Or a junior, if that's an option. Okay.
Kitty. Can I have the kitty cup? The kitty shake? Because I'm a weakling. Yeah.
Because I not because I'm weak, because I'm sampling 12 of these. Okay. But you could also, if you wanted to celebrate, you could make corned beef, which I've done before Yeah. That nobody ate. Well, you and I did, but it it was not we had some.
You didn't like it at all. Mm-mm. And it wasn't because of my cooking. Right? Like, it wasn't the way I cooked it.
Don't say right. Like, I don't know. No. Listen. Because it's a traditional dish.
It's something we've never had before. It's not like I had amazing what's it called? Corned beef? Mhmm. And and then I was like, yeah.
This is amazing. I can't wait to have this again. You made it out of nowhere. I'd never tried it before. I don't know if it's the end product or the the love that was poured into it.
I don't know. So don't say it's not my cooking. Right? Because I can't 100% say right. You could also I could also make Boxty.
What is that? Boxty, you ask? Yeah. Let me tell you. That's what what's Boxty?
It is an Irish potato cake. Okay. Raw potatoes, mashed potatoes, flour, baking soda, buttermilk, and sometimes an egg. Sometimes? And then you fry it in a pan like a potato pancake.
K. Then you can have soda bread. Wait. Do you put anything on that? Because so far, it's just a fried potato patty.
It's yeah. Spell it. B o x t y. You can eat it on its own or with butter, or you can fill it with cheese, bacon, or smoked salmon. I actually might try this.
There's cooked right, it looks nice. There's an old Irish rhyme about it. There is? On the griddle, boxty on the pan. If you can't mix if you can't make boxty, you'll never get a man.
Wow. That's quite the little rhyme. K? If I was Irish, I'd never mind. Cooking.
Right? I know. That fit perfectly, didn't it? But now say it in an Irish accent. Nope.
Just one. You're gonna keep trying to do this. I know all day. What did I I just looked at my ancestry. Remember I talked about that?
Yeah. I am 38% British and Irish. Okay. Only 13% Scandinavian. So I am more Irish than Scandinavian.
No. Yeah. No. Because do you still have it open? Yes.
Click on where it says British Irish, and it'll give you a breakdown. Oh, it does. And it's it's way more British. You're just British. You're just I didn't say.
It doesn't say. It doesn't say a percentage. Yeah. It does. Yeah.
It says, I share DNA okay. Hold on. Alright. I share DNA with 26 different Irish regions. K.
Dublin? No. I don't need the list. Alright. What's the what's the British part?
What do you mean? The percentage? I don't know. It doesn't give me a percentage of that. It just says 38% British and Irish.
That's all it says. It doesn't break it down more than that. Well, then you should be able to do the accent. I should, but I'm not gonna. So it's cute.
You keep trying. If you don't do the accent, you'll never get a man. Good news to get you going this morning. There is a little bus stop in the town of Foey, England. Okay.
Fowey, F O W E Y. Fowey. Fowey. I bet it's not Fowey. Fowey.
Fowey. It's not that. It's this charming little town in England, and they have a bus stop that's been transformed into a local landmark, thanks to some creative efforts from its residents. Over the past twenty years, this little bus stop has been decorated with little quirky themes from a tearoom to a yacht race to, this is this is a little garden, with hanging baskets. And it's it has these little chairs in it, and they change out the cushions.
It was painted like a library. Cute. It's been painted like all kinds of of different little things, over the past twenty years. It even, at one point, had a tribute to Elvis in there, which is kind of fun. One of the artists that had worked on it, named Sarah Warren, she she said that I'm always, liking to keep the, keep busy and always liking to do things to make people smile.
The latest theme is time to stop, like this this, what, the herb time. And this has got real painted pots, and ceilings creating this greenhouse vibe. Very, very cute. And the tradition, not only brighten the days of people in the town, but it also has put smiles on the faces of people all around the world because they have an active, constantly being updated Facebook page where you can follow along with the, latest theme and what people are, kinda doing with this little bus stop. It's pretty cute.
That is cute. Yeah. I like it. If, if it brings a little smile to people's faces, that's a win. And they, like, they they recently just updated it to this theme, in February.
And so The time? The time to stop theme, yeah, is the latest one. Time to get on the bus. Uh-huh. That's exactly right.
I would make just so many time jokes. If I rode that bus, I would just be making time jokes. You would the whole time? Oh. Oh.
Time to time to wait for that bus. They, at one point, did a a theme that looked like, all you need is love from the Beatles. Oh. But it's all you need is Fowie, Fowie, Fowie. Fooie.
I feel like I need to learn how to say the name of that town. It's not Fooey. There's no way it's Fooey. Anyway, super cute. And it's good news to get you going.
My nephew just got engaged. Congratulations to your nephew. It was kind of a big deal. I mean, you did it in Hawaii. Oh.
You know. Whoop de woo? I mean, in to to be 20 and in Hawaii and then, proposed. Now, when I proposed, you had come back from a spring break trip to New York. Yeah.
And, and I was nervous walking through the airport. It was scary. I had this whole plan that we were gonna you know, it was gonna happen at the airport in Salt Lake. I was picking you up, and, and here you come. And then we wander around, and I can't get up the guts to do it.
Can't get up the guts to finally got up the guts to do it, and it's been, it's been good ever since. Oh, and that's nice, Josh. Yeah. That's nice of you to say. Mhmm.
Even on the bad days? What are those? Okay. Listen. I asked I was talking to my nephew over the weekend.
They live in Burley. We went down for the weekend. And I said, hey. If you need somebody to marry you, I can absolutely No. Get ordained.
I'll take that online course. I will absolutely get ordained. And then he kinda smiled and chuckled, and I said, no. Really. I'm happy to do it.
Know you asked him this. Yeah. Are you serious? I am serious. I said, I'm happy to do it.
And then my sister, his mom said, I think that would be awesome. You should do that. And he said, no. He said no. Can you believe it?
Yeah. I can. Why? Go on with the story. Why did he say no?
Because I know you said why to him. He didn't give me a response. He just laughed and walked away. Can you believe it? Can you even believe it?
Uh-huh. I can't. I can't even believe it. I can kinda believe it. I can't.
I just wanted to I just wanted to be his minister at his wedding. Officiant. Officiant. Yeah. You're right.
That's what it's that's what that's what it's officially called. You're not a minister. You're not Okay. A reverend, a a priest, a bishop, whatever. You're right.
I wanna be I wanted to be his officiant. I wanted to marry him. He said no without even a valid excuse. Well, hopefully valid reason why. Hopefully, we get invited at this point.
Why? Well, what if he's got a thing? He's embarrassed or something about you being there. No. I don't know.
What would be his reason? Now here's the thing. Before he even had this girlfriend, I would joke about fiance. Yeah. I would joke about marrying him.
When the time came, I said, I will absolutely marry you. I'll be your officiant. That's hilarious. Would chuckle about it. So I thought for sure it was set in stone.
So then when he finally gets engaged, hey, bud. Now's the time. The word. I'll start training right now. Training.
I'll start the class. I'll start the lessons. I'll do what I need to do. Well And he said no. I'm sorry to hear that.
Crushed my soul. I'm glad that you were willing to do it, though. Thank you. I was willing to do it. To get more info.
You need to get details on why he said no. You need to ask. Well say why I like, and and really lay on the guilt trip and tell him you've been thinking about it all weekend, and you're you're really offended that he said no so hastily and that you're really, were excited to to officiate the ceremony. Even if he had told me, oh, I gotta talk to my fiance. She wasn't there.
She was not feeling well. So he said, oh, I maybe if he said, I gotta talk to her. Or may or maybe you can just say, maybe I could just stand up there next to whoever you do have to it. And just agree to everything. Just just nodding.
Just go, mhmm. Mhmm. What he said. Yeah. Which yeah.
Totally not weird. No. You can kiss the bride. Yeah. Yeah.
Yeah. Go ahead. Yeah. I give you permission. By the power vested in he says, by the power vested in me, you go, and me.
Come on. No. You're not. Don't tell anybody. That's a nice secret.
Brilliant. Yeah. It's just you awkwardly standing up there nodding. Mhmm. This is it.
It's happening. Good job. It's a good way to get kicked out of someone's wedding. Mhmm. It is.
Yeah. Alright. I wanna talk a little bit about birthdays. Over the weekend, as you mentioned a a few minutes ago, we traveled to Burley. It was your great niece's five year birthday.
She's five. She is five. It's a happy birthday. It's crazy. It is wild.
Life moves too fast. I think you're talking about your nephew. When I met you, your nephew was five. And now he is 28. He was born in 1999.
Twenty '6. There you go. Yeah. Anyway, so, we went to this birthday, and, your five year old great niece was very, not interested in some of the traditional birthday things. I don't know how much you were paying attention to that.
Like, she was into, like, having a party. She had friends and family there. She got gifts. She sat down and unwrapped all the stuff. She told everybody thank you.
It was very sweet. All of that was good. There was cake. She didn't wanna blow out a candle, and she did not want anybody to sing happy birthday to her. And I thought, you know, these are the weird things that, that happen at birthday parties.
Make people feel uncomfortable. Right. And and at five, she's like, I don't want to do these weird things. Exactly. I don't want everybody to sing to me and talk awkward.
Staring at me while they sing off key. Whether or not it was that we didn't sound good, I don't know. We didn't even get a chance to do a lot of this. To. But all of a sudden, we had cake, and we went, are we singing?
No. She didn't want to. She was like, no. I don't want everybody singing at me. Respect.
Right. And I did appreciate that of all I mean, there was a good amount of people in the room, and and all of those people weren't, like, pushing it, like, no. We're gonna sing to you. I mean, they were like, nah. She doesn't want it.
It's cool. So that worked out for good. My mom Yeah. My 78 year old mom was really the only one that was, like, super bummed out by it. Like, she was the only one that was like, we have to sing what like, she was thrown off.
Like, that's what we do. That's tradition. That's I get that. And everybody was just like, no. It's cool.
That's fine. Yeah. Your cake. Yeah. Enjoy.
She didn't want it, and it's her party. Move on. Yeah. But, also, the candle thing I thought was interesting too. And I thought post 2020, I thought we were done blowing on cakes, but I guess people were still expecting us to blow on cakes.
I've seen parties before where they cut the pieces of cake, and then you put the candle in the Perfect. One piece of cake. Sounds great. I know. That's I'm in with that.
Should be what it is. If that's what you want if you wanna blow out a a candle, that's the way to do it. Yeah. Don't blow on everybody's cake. Yeah.
Maybe I'll just run around and Well blow out There's the same thing about balloons. Right? Like, balloons are just a a bag of air Okay. That somebody put in there. And saliva sometimes.
Yeah. Gross. It is gross. Because somebody's gotta pop those, and then all that goes poof. Yeah.
All of it goes all over. All those breath particles. Right. So or, you know, use a pump. Use a little hand pump, and then Smart.
Get away from that. Good idea. And you don't have to worry about that. Anyway, enough about that. I just thought it was really interesting that, at five, she's like, no.
I I just want it this way. And Yeah. And I get that and that respect. Respect. Yeah.
I know. Much respect. Five year old knows she gets it. Yeah. Put your foot down.
I don't wanna I don't wanna candle. I don't wanna blow on a cake, and and I don't want everybody singing. Looking at me. But I'm good with gifts. Bring those.
I'm Yeah. Totally good. So Emery went to Mountain Home last week for For the track meet? Track meet. Right.
And we were talking about how we were going to have to stay awake until she got back from Mountain Home. It was about 12:30. We were anticipating about midnight or one. So she got back about I think the bus pulled about 12:45. No.
It was closer to midnight. You don't feel like it was that late? I do. You do? Yeah.
I mean, I can go back and look. Yeah. I can't remember when she said we just pulled into town. I feel like it they took the wrong exit. That was my thing.
Because I was like, that bus should have been here by now, but they're driving through town. Why didn't they take the the way around? You know? But that's alright. Nonetheless, we she made it home.
Everything was cool. What else do you wanna say about that? Alright. You're right. It was 11:41.
Yeah. They pulled into town. Alright. You're right. You're right.
Well, I was worried about staying awake. The whole night? The whole night. Right. Somebody had to go get her.
Yeah. You know why? Because I said about 11:00, I was starting to get real sleepy. And I had run out of things to keep me occupied with. So I sat down, and I started to, like, nod off a little bit.
And I'm like, I gotta do something to stay awake. So I decided to make scotcheroos. Yeah? So that was what I did to keep myself awake, and it worked. Except something happened to those scotcheroos.
I don't know. I don't know what I did about happened? I don't know. Because, normally, they're they're, like, soft and and chewy, and and the flavor was all there. The flavor was right.
The texture, for some reason, was not right. No. What happened? I don't know. I don't know what I did.
It still tastes good. I still have eaten way too many of them. Have you? Yeah. Have you?
No. Why? Well, I had the one, but they were a little bit hard. If they were softer, I'd have eaten a lot more. You were gonna put them in the microwave.
Did you try that? No. No. I did not. Maybe give that a go.
I might. Did you bring any? No. Oh. Why would I have brought any?
So that I could try it in the microwave. I'll tell you that I cut off because it is a little bit thick too, and so I cut off last night, I was eating some, and I cut off half of the bottom. So you made it a little bit thinner. And I gave that piece to the dog. She didn't seem to mind.
No kidding. Quit feeding the dog people food. It was just one little piece. It's got peanut butter in it. Yeah.
She likes peanut butter. I know she does, and she grunts about it. I didn't give her any of the chocolate piece. I know. I'm not worried about that.
I'm worried about her having people food and then begging for more people food. It was just peanut butter. Thinking she can have people food. That's what I'm worried about. One little piece.
It's a it's a consistency thing. I had no complaints about the texture of it. She was under my feet at the dinner table last night, and I tried to shoo her away, and she got mad at me. You know why? Because somebody's giving her people food.
This is not an argument that you wanna be having with me right now. Give human food to the dog. You give her peanut butter? That's people food? We give her, I don't give her peanut butter.
Let's let's be real. She gets peanut butter a lot, probably a little more than she should for the lack of walking that she's going on. So there's that. But that's also why she grunts when you get the peanut butter out. Because she likes it.
Yeah. Every all over the kitchen. Stop it. You're making her weird. I'm making her weird.
She definitely was not weird when we got her. You're right. Why did she do that? I don't know. Go away.
She's so weird. Okay. There's a Cheeto. A Cheeto. That is, up for auction right now.
Oh, no. Yeah. Does it what does it look like? That's the good that's the right question. You asked the right question.
Good job. These are so dumb. It is a Flamin' Hot Cheeto. It is about three inches long. It is inside a plastic case.
It is shaped like Michael Jordan's Jumpman logo. Yeah. It is. One Cheeto? It is one Cheeto.
It is, it looks like the replica of the 1985 Nike photo that launched the Michael Jordan Jumpman logo. It is available for auction right now through Golden.co, g 0 l d I n C o. K. Flamin' Hot Jumpman Cheeto is currently, $5,650. How much?
$5,650. I just looked it up. It said it was on sale for 87,000. No. No.
I'm looking at the auction site. I could place a bid right now. I'm looking at the Today Show. Good for the Today Show. They're wrong.
I'm looking at the auction right now. I'll send you the link. I also saw the Cheeto. It looks like Jordan. It does.
I mean, it looks like his logo. It kinda looks like Elvis doing the Jordan. If you look at the Cheeto, it looks like he's got a little bit of a pompadour. I see what you're seeing. I sent you the link to the actual auction so you can make sure you've got the right one.
Make sure it's the same Cheeto. Is kinda silly, isn't it? Yeah. They've had 30 bids. I've never seen a Cheeto look that big for one.
Yeah. It's a pretty big flame in my Cheeto. Three inch Cheeto. Oh, yeah. Thick Cheeto.
It is a thick Cheeto. You are correct about that. This auction ends in twelve days, so there is still time if you wanna get, in on the action. Who is selling this? A a private seller?
I don't know. I'm sure somebody found it, then they ended up putting it up for auction here with the Golden Company. I was gonna say but if you're the Cheeto company, don't you think you should get a kickback on that if you were the one that made it? I mean, they accidentally made it. Did they, though?
I don't think they all of a sudden are like, let's dump in some Jordan Jumpman Cheetos. It's a weird shape. Yeah. I don't know how Cheetos are made, but how do you get just that one weird shape? So you you saw that the Today Show said something about a Cheeto selling for $87,000?
Yeah. Read the description of this auction where it says, this is fresh on the heels of our scorching hot sale of a flaming hot Cheeto in the shape of the Pokemon Charizard that sold for $87,840. Okay. On the heels of that, we now offer this flaming hot Cheeto in the shape of the Michael Jordan Jumpman logo. Also, are people buying this stuff?
Yeah. Well, it's currently for sale for $5,650. So yes. And the Charizard Pokemon one went for $87,000. So yes.
That wasn't one person who made the bid to get it there. Right now, 30 bids have been placed to get this flaming hot Cheeto that looks like the Jumpman logo. Give me your money instead. That's what I'm saying. Hate your money that much that you're gonna spend that much money on a Cheeto Mhmm.
I'll take it. I'll take that money off your hands for you. But also, slam dunk. Like, you know, it's it's a cool Cheeto. It's not.
If you're a big MJ fan Or an Elvis fan. Or He's got a pompadour. He does a little bit. We went, to a store over the weekend, and you happen to see, some gloves that were being sold at a pretty reasonable price. You were like, these are these are really cool gloves.
These are Yellowstone leather gloves. I know. And, and having grown up in and around that, that particular facility that is now, closed, it was cool to see, some of that product out there. That my family worked there from my my grandparents, my my parents, me. All of us had some sort of kinda tie in to, to that place.
So kind of, kinda really interesting to to stumble upon some some product. Yeah. I was excited. Yeah. It smells like the leather factory.
Like, all that stuff was very nostalgic for me. Yeah. And you said they don't have my size, but let's find a size for you. Yeah. And I said, okay.
I don't need a pair of gloves. Yeah. You do. We got gardening and and yard work and stuff. Well, then you said, yeah.
You need a good pair pair of gloves. So when you're running the shovel That's right. Running the shovel. Yeah. When you're running a shovel, you need good gloves.
I'm not gonna be running the shovel. That's what I'm saying. Why aren't you gonna be running a shovel? Because I don't want to, but you can. You can run the shovel.
I don't have gloves. Either do I. I guess no one's run the shovel. I guess that shovel's just gonna lean up against the wall still. We only have one shovel too.
That's not true. Really? We have more than one? You don't know about the tools we have in the shed? No.
I know about the hand trowels that I have. You need good gloves to run a hand trowel. Well, now we didn't get any. So now we're we got no gloves. So now no one's gonna be running the shovel.
And here we are. We gotta go back and get some gloves. I guess so. We've got a lot of yard work between the the back area, building the compost, putting in raised beds, all the planting I know you're gonna wanna do once it you know, another couple months goes by. You're gonna need good gloves to run a shovel.
Well, why didn't you tell me to buy those ones at the store when we were there? I did. I said you need good gloves The problem is to run a shovel. Problem is that I don't I have small hands. You have tiny short fingers.
So even the small gloves that I tried on the other day were too big. They were an extra small. That was the smallest glove they made. I know. And they were still too big.
Only a little bit. Once those form fit to your hand, you're gonna be like, these are the best gloves ever. But that's why I don't usually wear gloves when I'm gardening because they're all of the gloves are too big, and then they just get in the way. And so I usually just do it. You need spray on gloves.
Yeah. That would work. Like those shoes in cloudy with a chance meatballs. You need that for your hands. I've used kids' gloves before because Right?
I can't find any gloves that fit. Adult ones, at least. That's sad. Why you have such small hands? I don't know.
It's just the way I was born. Normally, people's hands grow into their body, but you've got little tiny baby hands. I know it. Aw. So I just do things barehanded because the gloves are too big.
Get it. And then they get in the way. Get blisters, and then you get dirt in your fingers. And But I don't mind that either. I mean, the blisters, I mind because those but I don't there's a lot of people that I know that are like, ew.
Your hands get dirty. And I go, yeah. I don't mind. I like the dirt on my fingers. I like digging in the mud.
That's fun. It is. I'm not mad about it. I just like gloves. I know.
I need a pair of gloves. I blister easily because I got soft hands. You do. I push buttons for a job. Why are your hands so soft?
Because I push buttons for a job like this one. You know the thing, the topic that people say sometimes, like, things that nobody looks cool doing? Okay. Yeah. Okay.
Throwing with your nondominant hand. Try that. Try to look cool throwing a rock with your nondominant hand. How about, walking barefoot over a gravel pit over rocks? Walking barefoot sometimes anywhere.
It's so like, I have sensitive feet too because similar to my soft hands, I have soft feet because I wear shoes and socks all the time. I don't go barefoot a lot. And so if I have to go outside and take the dog out and it's hot or cold or there's gravel involved or there's even a one little pebble that finds my foot, I get that hot foot like, ah, ah, ah. And nobody looks cool doing that. Doing hot foot?
Hot foot. I think I look cool doing hot foot. Nobody looks cool doing that. That's what I'm saying. Me doing hot foot.
Also, that's the noise I make. I was thinking of trying to get out of a booth, like a restaurant. Especially if it's got there there's two different kinds of booths. There's the one that's like like the big foam, and you sit down, and it and it's real bouncy. And then there's the other one that, like, you sink in.
It's real worn in. Yeah. And you sit, and it goes. That I don't know which one's worse. The real bouncy one that is real high.
Yeah. And if there's a back to back connector and somebody's behind you, sometimes it'll bounce Uh-huh. Between the two. I don't know how that happens, but that needs to be fixed. But then when you have to get out to go to the bathroom Oh, yeah.
Man. Nobody look everybody look away. Slide. Yeah. Chasing after something in the wind?
Oh, everybody looks cool doing that. When you're trying to stomp on a receipt spec. Before it blows away and you miss a couple times, that's a cool look. That's like you're doing a stompy dance. Very cool.
Very hip. It is very good. Eating spaghetti. No. That's the coolest.
I look great eating spaghetti. When we eat that one rogue noodle that and it smacks up and hits you in the cheek a little high. Spaghetti sauce all over your nose. That's a good look. It's lame.
Nah. You can look cool eating spaghetti. I look cool. I could lean up against a wall with a plate of spaghetti And look cool. Spit in my fork and take a bite and look really cool.
You're like, that guy's eating spaghetti, and he looks cool. Yeah. I'd wear a leather jacket even. Woah. I know.
Don't eat it. Leather jacket leaned up on the wall, spaghetti. At the top of cool. I know. Cool guy.
Looking so cool. Running with a backpack on? I mean bounces against the back. Depends on what's in it. If it's if it's heavy the other Yeah.
Then you kinda like, come on. Backpack? Get with the motion here. How about when you go swimming with jeans on or your jeans Who does that? Or your jeans get wet somehow.
So you've gotta take off your wet jeans. Go and swimming with jeans on You're talking about? Like, have any that's happened to everybody at least once. I've never gone swimming with jeans on. No.
I haven't either intentionally, but, like, maybe you fall into a lake and you have jeans on. What happened? That happens to everybody. What are you talking about? You've never been pushed into a lake with your jeans on?
Nope. That's happened to me before. So, apparently, I pushed you into a lake with your jeans? Brother. Oh, checks out.
Yeah. Exactly. You're now here in the lake with your jeans on. Yeah. And then you have to take those wet jeans off.
Now I've had like, my pants get wet, and they're not easy to take off, but I haven't been, like, soft and wet in jeans like that. Okay. So just wet pants. Trying to take off wet pants. Nobody looks cool doing that.
Good luck. Good luck looking cool. Actually, I don't look cool doing anything. That's not true. What do I look cool doing?
Everything all day every day. Come on now. Chin up. So I'm clicking around eastIdahonews.com this morning, and I stumble across some, really exciting news for posterity's sake. Okay.
I don't know if you saw this article, but the Museum of Idaho has announced that they have acquired the Post Register's historic archives. Oh, cool. This is really, really cool. It's a monumental addition to its collection and a treasure trove of Eastern Idaho's rich history. This spans more than a century.
Oh, wow. This was a donation that includes print editions, microfiche, the tape, and digital archives that document the stories and milestones of the East Idaho region and beyond. The the archives were gen or were donated as, as the post register is transitioning out of its long time building, which I didn't know that. I didn't know they were leaving that building. I didn't know that.
Jeff Carr, the executive director of the Museum of Idaho, he said we immediately recognized the significance and said, yes, without hesitation. These archives are a vital historical resource that enrich the ability to tell local stories in ways that were not possible before. Really, really cool. And the fact that they got additions of the post register dating back to the nineteen thirties Oh. Meticulously preserved and stacked across 15 palettes.
Like, that's the print archives. That's incredible. Then you have the the micro fish stuff. So that's, but also has other regional newspapers. So it's got Rigby Star, Shelley Pioneer, Idaho State Journal, reaching even further back into the past, and then the digital archives, which includes the Blackfoot Register and the Idaho Falls Times with some additions dating back to 1880.
That's cool. Really, really fast. Really, really cool. For the sake of history and posterity. I'm just I know what you're saying.
Peeking out. To go then the museum. Right? I mean, holy cow. So, that's really super cool.
Really excited. And and it'll be cool to see what is uncovered and what is, you know, newly discovered. Like, there's there are some folks at the museum right now that are, like, totally geeking out about this, guaranteed. It's cool. Which I think is pretty special.
So, anyway, if you wanna read about that article, it's at eastIdahonews.com. I have a bone to pick with you. What? Why? What?
What? You've done this, opening for, for a break, probably at least once or twice a week since we started this show. Because what better way to air out our grievances than in the in the forum. Alright. Well, what have I done this time?
You did not tell me that I had a unibrow. I did not notice you had a unibrow. Yes. I thought you've had two separate brows the whole time. I don't think it was fully a unibrow, but I was doing some self care last night.
Because Sunday night is usually when I have the most time. Okay. And I was looking in the mirror going, oh, I got some I got some hair in the middle part of my forehead there that needs to go away. I mean, you you don't walk around looking like Frida. That's Correct.
I You know what I'm saying? Unibrow is a little extreme. Yeah. But there was a substantial amount of hair on the top of my nose. And I went, that's rude.
I mean, you look at yourself probably more often than I do. I'm just kidding. I never even look at you. Yeah. Like, I just do you have a face?
I can't even stand looking in your direction. I didn't say that. I'm just making jokes. But you do look at yourself in lighting and a mirror in better detail than I Correct. Would say I do.
That's true. Alright. I'll give you a free pass on this one. But still, Josh I gotta keep a distance. Luckily, I had one of those I had one of those it's a little face razor.
It's called the brand I use is called Tinkle, which is not my favorite name. I see. I know what you're talking about. Yeah. Get that little razor and do a little razoring, so I got a uni brow no more.
Hey. Well, good for you. Thank you. Thank you. It needed to be done.
After you did that, did you self high five? No. On top. But I could stand looking at myself in the mirror again for a minute. Well, good for you.
Now I keep rubbing it. It's so smooth. Oh, nice. You're gonna put yourself to sleep over there rubbing your little eyebrow. You're gonna just slumber off, start snoring.
Right? Down to the tip of my nose? Exactly. This doesn't sound like the worst idea. Just so you took care of it.
I did take care of it Well with no thanks to you. You're welcome. Good job. Imagine, if you will, that you're in a band. Alright.
I'm I'm in a band. You're in a band, and it doesn't matter what type of band you're in. K. When do you feel that you as a band have made it? What's the thing like, is it playing at Radio City Musical?
Is it playing to a sold out crowd in a huge venue? I mean, I I guess it would it would probably have different levels. Right? Like, I think booking your first paid gig is a huge moment. Okay.
That's great. Selling your first piece of merch is a huge moment. Watching your song get downloaded on the Internet and looking at the analytics and stuff is a huge moment. Or hearing it? Yeah.
On the radio. Hearing it play on the radio. Yeah. That'd be huge. Okay.
Like, I think, you know, there are certain small moments before you get to sold out arena tour. Mhmm. But On Sunday mornings, we are pretty chill in the mornings, and we like to turn on sometimes tiny desk concerts from Right. NPR. Is that something we consider?
Watching it yesterday, I went, yeah. That's kinda like the thing that if I was a band, that would make me think that I if I was invited to play it, the tiny desk concert on NPR, that's that's the thing that I would have been like, we're in, guys. We've made it. We're in there. Bands don't get on there until thirty or forty years after their careers started.
That's true. Like, third eye blind, the one that we just watched. Like, that took them a long time. Took them a long time. Unless they'd been on there before.
Maybe this was their second time. I don't know. I don't know either. But that's, you know, that is an interesting, an interesting marker of success. I think I think they're gonna be varying different things that happen.
That's a great interview question. If you ever get the chance to interview a band, you should ask, like, what was, you know, as as your career in as a musician has kind of evolved and now you're here talking to me, which sure is a pivotal moment, what were the big benchmark success things you had along the way? That's a great interview question. Okay. I'll Because I'll keep that one in my back pocket.
That's a really good question because you're gonna get a a lot of varying answers because every single person even everybody in the band is gonna have, like, when I filled in for the main primary drummer because they, he was sick or something and then became the real drummer Yeah. Or whatever. That's true. That's gonna be that's a question. Have you ever been on tiny desk concerts?
Because that's mine. And if you haven't Interviewer. Matter and the interview ends now. Exactly. Yeah.
You're a waste of my time. Whatever. But that is a that's a killer question. Really good question. Thank you, Josh.
Yeah. Also, this is a shameless plug for tiny desktops. I guess so. Yeah. Not a sponsor, but it is a nice do with us.
Chill way to hang out on a Sunday morning. Yeah. Just turn it on. Chillax. And and We watched the Billie Eilish one too.
That was lovely. Hers is nice. Nervous, which I think is funny. Right. Because she's always so cool and calm and collected that I was she's like, I'm kinda nervous.
It was cute. It was adorable. She did great. Anyway, good pick for, for a a vibe. Thanks.
It's a good it's a good vibe pick. And you came up with a killer interview question. Oh, yeah. So well done. Look at you.
Look at me. Killing it. Slaying all day. Alright. Slay all day.
Still going. As the kids say. No one says it. In May. You're alright.
So for a long time, I felt like I haven't really fit into a generation. And and it's Oh. And well, I know. Because there's Gen x, which is sort of the very end of Gen x is the beginning of our generation, and then there's millennials right after it, which is sort of the beginning of this generation. But I've never felt like I fit into either one fully.
And so then they, they sort of put out the zennial thing, which was this hybrid sort of sub generation. So it's Xennial spelled with, with an x. And so the Xennial generation is nineties, 1977 to 1983. Okay. And if it's just this small little, like, end of Gen x, beginning of millennials.
It's an analog childhood and a digital young adulthood. We were 10, 11, 12 when the Internet and home computers were becoming a regular thing. Right. So we weren't necessarily, like, with all of that stuff our whole lives. Like, we existed before cell phones and all of those kinds of things, But then we also have an appreciation for we didn't have a remote for the TV.
We had to get up and turn a knob. Right. We did have TV. We did have color TV because we were in that Gen x, but we weren't full on computer Internet age until we were in our young adulthood. Right?
Yeah. So they created that Xennial generation. Well, that Xennial generation has now been a I guess, I don't know, officially. I don't know if it's official. I prefer it to Xennial so much.
They are calling a group of kids that were born between '77 and 1983 Goonies. And it's so perfect. The Goonies generation. The Goonies. We are just The Goonies.
Not even generation. Just The Goonies. The Goonies. The Goonies. The Goonies.
And it is, it's our time now. It's our time now. But Goonies didn't even come out hold on. Nineteen eighty five. So if they're saying 1983 is the cutoff age, Goonies when you were born.
I know, but Goonies wasn't even born. For when you were two when Goonies came out if you're born in '83. The fact is between '77 and '83, they're calling Goonies because Because we never say die. Because that. Okay.
Sure. Yeah. I I prefer it to Xennial. So I do. The Goonies generation is roughly 70 80 five.
So it is a little bit broader. What did you say? Nineteen seventy to 1985 is the broader Goonies generation, but it's that Xennials 70 seven to 8385 that really makes that, generation. And I, like it. I like it.
Hey, you guys. Hey, you guys. It's this is the. It's our time down here. It's our time.
These are our wishes. These are no. I'm taking them back. They're my wishes. Let's eat a baby root.
Yeah. Okay. Rocky Road and all that. Trevor's. And and, yeah.
You get it. I do get it because I'm a fan of jelly. And the whole thing. Yeah. Yeah.
I know. So good. Good enough. So I'm For you. Well done.
It's good enough. Good enough. That's a Cindy Lauper song. Yes. It is.
Why are we playing that? It's a good question. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah.
Are you ready for would you rather Are you ready? I I guess. It's still spring edition? No. It's Saint Patty's day edition.
Of course. It's Saint Patrick's day. Alright. Saint Patrick's edition. Would you rather find a real pot of gold at the end of a rainbow, but you have to share it or be granted unlimited luck for a year, but only in silly unpredictable ways.
For example, you always find a front row parking spot, or you never spill your drink, or you never trip over the stairs. That kinda look. How now when you say I have to share the gold Yeah. With who? Everyone.
With everyone? Yeah. What's that even mean? Everyone who? Everyone.
Everyone you know. You have to give a little bit of your goal to everyone you know. How much? A lot of it. I don't know.
Like, I'm not trying to be greedy. I'm just trying to understand. How much gold do you have? Answer the question first, and then I'll tell you how much gold I have. Like a yes, sir.
Is how big is the is the pot? It's large. It's like a cauldron. Yeah. But sharing with everyone you know, that's kinda complicated in and of itself.
Right? Because what I'm saying. You know people, but you don't know people. See what I'm saying? I don't know.
You ask too many questions when you play this game. Just pick an a or a b. I'm going for the unlimited luck. That's what I'm going for because I think that's awesome. A standard size is 15 gallons.
How many ounces in 15 gallons? 1,920 ounces. You think so much about this question. I know. So 1,920 ounces times, 2,900 because that's how much one ounce of gold is worth.
That's 5 and a half million dollars. Okay. I've got some to spare. Okay. So you're gonna go with the pot of gold?
Sure. I have I have plenty of gold to share with everybody. 5 and a half million. That's why I had to ask. Luck for a year?
Unlimited amounts of luck. Lame luck. No. That's cool luck. Any luck is good luck.
Well, I don't disagree. Found a penny. Yeah. Oh, boy. Or 5 and a half million dollars worth of gold, and I get to share with my friends.
That sounds nice. I'll take that. Would you rather this or that? I guess that's gonna do it Well for today, isn't it? It is gonna do it.
You wore your green today, so that's good. Yep. You had to remind me I I had something else I was wearing, and you started wearing green. Blue or something. I said, what do you where's your green?
And you went, I'm gonna have to change my whole outfit. You're all upset at me. And I said, just change your jacket. I wasn't upset at you. I was upset at myself.
Well, because yeah. I'm fine. There's also a new shirt. So I've got a new shirt going. Oh, new green shirt.
New new green shirt. It's got these, horizontal stripes. So there's that going for it. K. And, and it's green.
So Well done. Saint Patrick's Day. You know? Do you wanna hear some Irish wisdom? I wanna hear some Irish accent.
