Now go ahead and grab that microphone. Swing it on over. Get it. There it is. Hey.
Hey. Hey. How are you? Hey. Good.
Good. You sound good. Good. You look good. Thank you.
You feeling good? I feeling good. I feeling good. Way to kick it off. Good thing it's awkward day.
Feeling good? Feeling good. It's Tuesday, March 18. Welcome to awkward day. Yes, sir.
Little. We are here to deliver. Josh is gonna do yard work, and I'm gonna say, woah, dude. Woah. Woah.
Woah. Woah. Why is it called Manwich? There's really, I I don't need I don't know. You thought it was Charles Manwich?
Yeah. Hi. I'm Charlie Manwich of the Manwich Company. No. Honestly, it's a combination of the word man and sandwich, which makes me wonder what's in it.
Spoiler alert. Man. Man? Man is in it. I think they maybe they called it that because when you take a bite, you go, oh, man.
Sweeney Todd. Oh, okay. I see. You're killing me. Smalls?
With a z. With a z. Yeah. Yep. Yep.
Yep. Yep. Street cred and all that. You don't need it. Everyone needs street credit.
Not you. You got too much. You're right. You got heaps of it. They're gonna demolish the Pine Ridge Mall in Pocatello.
Which is super kinda sad. But I'm excited to see what the future holds for it. So I'm kind of I'm I'm a mixed bag. Okay. Eating French fries in the car is a battle in our household.
Yeah. Don't do it. Do it. Don't do it. On the way home fries.
No. On the fry. We were invited to be judges at Cupcake Wars. Yeah. The the you would you've now volunteered, I think, for seven additional, eating competitions.
Yeah. So I'll do whatever food you wanna put in front of me. Here's a plate of pickles. What's your favorite? Oh, bread and butter.
I get makeup for round face tutorials from TikTok. Yeah. Congrats. How's it going? Round.
Give me more of that food. You are awkward, bro. Woah, dude. Awkward. It's a whole thing.
It is. Get to know your family through the music they listen to. And then sometimes veto the songs need to know that you listen to that song. Exactly. Inappropriate to listen to with your parents.
Marriage is all about compromise. Yeah. And I think you got a good definition of compromise that we share in the show. It's good advice. Right.
And why do we why did we have rude neighbors once upon a time? Because because sometimes people are rude. Yeah. Yeah. NC, double eight, March Madness is upon us.
That's right. Get ready for your brackets. One guy ate 35,000 Big Macs. Yeah. And he got a world record.
And did we mention that it's awkward day? Give me an example. Hi. It's me. That'll do.
Chantel. That'll do. We are Josh and Chantel, and this is wake up classy 97, the podcast. It's an awkward day. Enjoy the show.
What? Is that what you said? No. I did not. That's all I heard was.
Stop. End it. Enjoy the show. Good morning, Chantel. Hello.
How how about scraping windows first thing in the morning? Because that's what like, I look forward to it. Every day, I walk outside, and I go, I can't wait to scrape those windows. Well, you are in luck because you get to do it for more days. Is that right?
Yeah. I think so. I hope not. I mean, it's not getting warmer anytime soon. Well, that's that's not true.
Like, very soon. Okay. Like, even today is in the forties, but by the time we get to this weekend, fifties and sixties. Really? Really?
Fifties and sixties? Yeah. Okay. But it's a double edged sword, isn't it? Because when warm weather comes, then I feel obligated to do yard work.
No. And while I want to do our yard work, I don't wanna do yard work. Yard work is for the weekdays. Unless unless so much time during that time. No.
I know. Little bites Okay. During the week. Okay. So that when the weekend comes, you don't have to think about yard work.
You get to think about enjoying your nice yard. Well, that's what I've been trying to do in the winter months is, like, clean the house during the week Right. So that on the weekends, I don't have to worry about it. Exactly. You think that's been going well?
No. No. It hasn't. Because, because of prioritization. Yeah.
But who wants to prioritize cleaning? Not me and you. Not you and I. Not you and me. Nope.
So I feel like the yard is gonna have the same fate. It might. It might. It might. It just might.
No. I've got big plans for the backyard. No. You do. I just need to really focus on my my projects, and I'll get stuff done.
And you'll be like, woah, dude. Like, that's what you'll say. Woah. Woah. Woah, dude.
Woah. Look at that. Woah. I know. Right?
I know. Woah. Well, good morning. Snowy today. Yeah.
But then great after that. Hey. But my battery was charged this morning. Yeah. And now we gotta see if it'll hold a charge or not.
Did not remedy the problem. No. I know. What is the problem? We don't know.
I don't know. What if I go out there at 10:00 and it's dead? Then it's probably my alternator. Right? Well, then, there's something wrong with the car.
I mean, there's there is still something wrong with the car, but something is happening to drain a brand new battery in no time. Guess what? I never had any problems with this car until I paid it off. This is what you always say. Ago.
And now it's fallen apart. Knows. It does. So Now that it's now that I'm paid off. Planned obsolescence.
No. Yeah. Volk. Volkswagen. You bought it pre owned.
This is not a thing. No. They know how to get you. No. Volkswagen.
I see you. Alright. Well, something's up with your ride. I don't know what it is. It's gonna be fine.
I'll get to the bottom of it. Everything's fine. One of these days. Well, today is, Awkward Moments Day. That's my whole life.
I just, let's have an example. Chantel. Example. Oh, that you're just saying that in general? Yeah.
Yeah. Here I here I am. I am an example of awkward moments. I see. I see.
Also Ag Day, which Ag's pretty important. Yeah. But I wanted to pull up some more info about It's also awkward moments. I'm sorry. Did I hear that it was Sloppy Joe day?
You love Sloppy Joe's. No. Okay. Listen. I I'm very particular about my Sloppy Joes.
Okay. None of that Manwich. What's up with Manwich? Why not? Because it's gross.
First of all, Manwich just gets added to the meat. Yeah. It's it's all the seasonings and sauce. That's all it is. Yeah.
Yeah. I know. It's gross. Why is it gross? Oh, it's gross.
No way. Yeah. I like my mom's sloppy joes. Do you not like it because it's called manwich? Yeah.
Kinda. Is that why? But I also wouldn't like it if it was called womanich. Okay. Alright.
Witch. Woman witch. Yeah. Woman witch. What what a dumb name.
Well, now I kinda wanna know why it's called that. Yeah. Why is it called man witch? I didn't mean to get you going about Sloppy Joe's. You were talking about awkward moments, and I kiboshed the conversation.
Hey, Josh? So the name Manwich is a brand name. Right. Right? It is a combination of the words man and sandwich.
Yes. And that's it. There it's not there's really no other reason. A sandwich is a sandwich, but a manwich is a meal. That was the That was their fact.
That still is. Manwich was, was put in the market in 1969. It is a canned Sloppy Joe sauce. It sure is. Which, by the way, what's in your mom's, Sloppy Joe's?
Ketchup and mustard. And now I'm out. I know. But have you ever had my mom's tomato? Sure I have.
They are so good. Sloppy Joe sauce is just seasoned tomato sauce added to ground beef and served on a bun. That's literally what man Manwich is. It's seasoned tomato sauce that you add to the ground. The there's nothing in there that isn't in your mom's.
I get it, but it's I don't my mom's is good. So I think it's probably because it's called manwich. Well oh, well. Oh, well. My mom's is good.
So there. Man sandwich. That's it. That's the all that I I was expecting it to be like no. No.
No. It was invented by Charles Manwich. Wait. Were you gonna say something more about awkward moments? Well, yeah.
But then we got talking about Manwich. What else were you gonna say about awkward moments? I was gonna talk about how you could celebrate. How could you celebrate? Laugh at your own awkwardness.
Oh, I do, every day. You could watch a movie with awkward characters, such as 16 candles or the perks of being a wallflower or, I don't know. What's another awkward character? I mean, any of the eighties teen movies always had an awkward character. Most rom coms have an awkward sidekick.
Right? Like, it's not it's not the lead. It's their bumbling friend Yeah. Who always just is like, I wish I could find a boyfriend. That's true.
That is true. And and a little awkward, isn't it? It is. And that's my whole life. Is is going, I wish I could find a boyfriend.
Well, being the bumbling character that's like Uh-huh. Alright. I don't I don't agree with you, but that's okay. Just bumbling your way through life. Yeah.
That's what I do best. One man one manwich. One to the next zero manwich's at a time. White shirt, manwich. Oh, no.
Awkward. I did wear a white shirt today, which is risky. That's risky. Well, you don't have manwich on the menu, so I think you're gonna be okay. But it doesn't matter.
Meatball sub. Find me something. I'll spill it. I promise. I'll okay.
Here's this bottle of whiteout. Good one. Spill it No. On your white shirt, and no one will know. See?
Only only, pack around things that are white. Yeah. Mayonnaise. Right. Ranch.
There it is. Chantel. Joshua. Good news to get you going. Back in 2018, March fourteenth was designated as a holiday Okay.
By the Pennsylvania House of Representatives. Do you know What's the holiday? Commemorated on March 14? I do not. Saquon Barkley Day.
Oh, really? See? I knew you'd be excited. Barkley? That's a whole day?
Yeah. So, to honor the running back who played for Penn State before becoming such a superstar in the NFL back in 2018, the Pennsylvania House of Representatives voted to commemorate March 14 as Saquon Barkley day. Twelve year old Jaden Edwards, he is from Pennsylvania, Reading, Pennsylvania or Reading, Pennsylvania. He has been a huge fan since he first saw Saquon play in college, and he has gone so far as to celebrate Saquon Barkley day each year by making cakes and watching football games. Well, I love that.
Jaden made the holiday even more special. By doing what? He collected dozens of footballs throughout the the weeks leading up to Saquon Barkley Day, and he donated them to the nearby boys and girls club. Oh, that's awesome. I think that is very awesome.
Good job, buddy. Yeah. So Jaden's hard work and generosity has paid off. Over a 70 footballs were delivered, which is really cool. That's a lot of fun.
What are they gonna do with them anymore? Well, I'm sure that by by keeping some there at the club, but then if they've got, you know, a a kid who's like, I just love football, and I wanna practice more, and I don't have a football. Like, they've got they've got footballs now. Okay. So pretty cool of Jayden to think, I wanna do something to help.
I like football. It's Saquon Barkley day. Let's get some footballs together. If we play fantasy football again, I got dibs on Saquon Barkley. Oh, is that right?
Yep. Is that how it works? Yep. I don't think that's how it works. Oh, you get your prior team.
No. I don't think that's how it works. I make the rules. You're not the commissioner. So I will be then.
Something tells me that you won't. Why? Because the commissioner has to do all the online stuff. I don't wanna do that. I know.
That's why I said anyway, good news to get you going. I'll be the commissioner. No. I don't want Okay. We were notified yesterday that you and Emery have similar nicknames.
This is true. It's the same name. And I've been probably a lot of my life called this same nickname. No. It's not bad.
It's just because we're smaller people. That's all. She is, apparently, the smallest pole vaulter on her team, and her coach has started calling her smalls from the sandlot. Yeah. And specifically saying, you're killing me, smalls, which I have been, that line has bounced off of me more times than probably any other Name?
Comment Okay. I guess. I've heard you're killing me Smalls a lot. And more specifically, just Smalls. Right?
Yeah. I mean, what's up smalls? What's up smalls? Yeah. Is smalls with a z or with an s?
I think an s. Smallz. Yeah. I would say it with a z because it makes it sound more streak. Oh, is that right?
Yeah. Gives it more cred. Because, anyone who's being called smalls is hoping that they carry street cred. I'm just saying. If you use a z, it sounds more tough.
Plus, when you say it, you're not spelling it out loud. I know. You're killing me Smalls with a z. No. I know.
But the way you say it, you're Uh-huh. Inflection. Smalls. Hey, Smalls. Just weird.
What's up Smalls? No one says it that way. They should as well. Poor Emery. She is, what, five two?
She's probably five two. I think she's five two. I think But we measured once, and it was five one and a half. And so I always tell her, oh, you're five one and a half, and it it bugs her. It's a half inch.
It does. But it bugs her enough. But the last doctor visit, they clocked her at five two. With shoes on? No.
They don't do it with shoes on. She was pretty stoked. Yeah. She's climbing. I'm five four, and she feels taller than me some days.
Are you serious? See how easy? It's so easy. Well, nobody wants to be short. It's sad.
You don't think so? No. I hate being short. No. I understand.
But you don't think that they're, like, tall people. They're like, this is a little bit up here. I can be shorter. The grass is always greener. Right?
Always. That's what I'm saying. I'm I'm just saying. Be happy where you're planted. I am.
You know? It just I it would be nice to reach the spice rack instead of getting a chair to reach the pepper. I can reach out. You just need to elongate your arms. Oh, oh, is that all?
Mhmm. Okay. You need a bigger wingspan. Okay. It'll work out.
Or one of those grabbers. Yes. I do need one of those. Yeah. We're not bringing one of those in the house.
To pester you anyway. Is why we're not bringing one of those into the house. You never let me have any fun. No. Because you would you would bug me with it Yeah.
Relentlessly. Constantly. Absolutely. I don't need that in my life. You do.
I don't need to constantly be on guard for the grabby hand. Oh, here it comes again. Pinch. Pinch. Pinch.
Go away with that thing. Sounds fun. No. That's not it. Sounds fun.
Small. We saw one to stop. We saw one at the with a z. We saw one at the store the other day, and I said, do you need this? And your face lit up like, yes.
And I said, no. Absolutely not. I always need one of those. Little alligator claw, pinchy thing. The kids had a dinosaur one once.
It was what happened to that? You probably threw it away. Oh, no. You you probably grabbed it in a fit of rage and broke the head off. Oh, no.
Where did it go? You never let me have any fun, Smalls. You're killing me. Stop. Smalls.
Stop. It is, a bit of an end of an era, but also kind of new beginnings in Pocatello with Pine Ridge Mall. According to East Idaho News, where I'm reading this article, they are working on a plan to demolish the Pine Ridge Mall as it is today. You told me this yesterday. I know.
It made me really sad. But that means something new is going on, which is exciting. Right? Also sad. I know.
Because, we lived in Pocatello for a lot of years. You lived there for longer than I did. But, during that time, spent a a good amount of time there. We had friends that worked at the bookstore. Yeah.
There, you waited, for the Harry Potter book, the seventh book until midnight. Did the midnight release party thing there. I did. You know, professionally, I've I've done a lot of live broadcast there. It's it's definitely around.
Get my soup and bread bowl from Sure. There. Yeah. Yeah. Oh, man.
I mean, Shopko was attached. Yeah. There was a lot there was a lot going on, for a lot of years, but that's sort of been, on the downturn. And that's kinda why they're looking at making a change. So, according to, I'm trying to figure out all the the people involved here.
The new owners of the Pine Ridge Mall have not announced officially when they will demolish the old building. They do plan to close the mall at the May. That's that's kinda what That's too. Seems here. Yeah.
And there's a real estate firm, who closed the deal to buy the mall in May of last year and quickly released plans to turn it into an open air retail center. Okay. So they're they're kinda looking at Boise and Salt Lake for inspiration the way they've kinda done some shopping centers, there, I would think. Right. Which are nice.
You know, you you wander around courtyard style, and then you get to go into the stores rather than having a big indoor area that you have to heat or air condition. You have the smaller, store. So I'm sure there's something to that. And they they do mention in the article that this new development is bringing businesses that a lot of people have been asking for for years, including Target to the area, which will also bring, fewer retail units and increase the, rent prices for Pine Ridge Mall's existing tenants. And that's what's really going on in the article here is they're talking about the people that are there, that are local businesses, who need the support, who need the help, who need to find new locations to continue to, stay in business.
So that's kind of the big story here is what's gonna happen to the, to the smaller retail folks, the local retail folks who are in there. Because a store like Buckle, they mentioned will probably be okay. They'll be able to, you know, do do the thing. Deseret Book will be able to do the thing and have a new facility there. Deseret Book was the Yeah.
Yeah. But then, you know, you've got places like Jump In, and you've got places like Oh, yeah. Fadeaway Barber Shop, and you've got places like Aquatic Oasis, the aquarium place. Like, those places are gonna need somewhere to land, and that's where they're they're even GoFund GoFundMe set up to try and help these, businesses out. Anyway, if you take take a look at eastidaonews.com, if you wanna learn more about the article and stuff, what's going on with the Pine Ridge Mall, they've got a a lot of detail in there at eastidaonews.com.
Do you wanna start this, or do you want me to? Well, I did a thing that upset the car, and I didn't necessarily mean to upset everyone in the car. I think that's a lie. No. I think your full intention was to upset the car.
My intention was not to upset the car. My intention was to preserve quality for the benefit of everyone who was in the car. Let me let me go back to I'm not a huge fan of, when you go through a drive through, snacking on the food on the way home. Just fries. You just snack on the fries.
You don't snack on your burger or your taco or your chicken sandwich. You just snack on the fries. That's what you do. No. That's what you do.
No. Because when the bag is open like that, they get cold. And so, you gotta roll that bag up, keep it keep the top closed till you get home, and then you get fresh hot food. Guess what? By the time we got home, those fries were cold anyway.
No. They were fine. But listen. Here's the here's the deal. Apparently, I upset some folks in the car, namely you and, our daughter, who was the other two passengers in the car besides me driving.
Mostly Emery. She was really upset. Because I didn't know that she and our son have a thing they call fry check. Oh, I didn't know this. Oh.
What is this? Well, she explained it. She said that whenever they go get food, they gotta check the fries. And I said, well, he's not in the car with us, so we're gonna not do that. They, at the drive through, put all of the, food, the mains in one bag, and I handed that over to you.
And then they kept all the fries in another bag, and I rolled that up and kept it on the left side of me driving so they could stay warm. Yeah. I didn't even know that I didn't even notice that you had done that until I saw a little hand creaching from the back seat and do a hey. Give me give me some. I wanna fry.
And there were no fries in that bag. My bag Mhmm. And they went, oh, there's no That's right. Just a sneaky little game. That is right.
It was very good that they had done that. I kept them all in one bag, and I just rolled it shut, and I kept it warm. And boy was, was somebody upset at me. Yeah. Like, I was the fry cops keeping her away.
She was absolutely more upset than me. I can go I'd I like a nice on the way home fry. Mhmm. But I can go I can be fine without it. She does not.
What's their fry check game? That's why that's it. You gotta eat a fry to check and make sure they're good. Yeah. It's a quality check.
Yeah. Yeah. Checks out. Makes sense to me. It's very logical.
But here's the thing. By the time we got home, those fries were cold anyway. It didn't matter. Yes. They were.
We they look. I'll I'll I'll say we could do something better than a little paper sack to keep the fries warm. We we need little fry warming, transportation thing, like a little fry a a little Like a door or a bag? Bag? Yeah.
Like that. Just to keep the fries a little bit warmer. Well, then I guess the solution is to buy one of those, keep it in the car, and then when you cook it in the trash bin convenient. And then it'll be zipped up. So then nobody can get in to get a fry.
Padlock like a luggage lock on the zipper. Mhmm. I can't believe you don't even you don't even like a fry. Just one. No.
Just one for the ride home. Sit down for your meal. You are strange strange man. What's wrong with that? I don't I mean, I'm sure there's other people like you, but I would rather have all my fries fresh and the same than one hot fry that that could potentially be too hot.
I know. That's the best part. When you go that's not my favorite part. Fries are good. Yeah.
Fries check out. Fries check out. To fry. Yeah. These are gonna be great when we get home.
They're gonna all gonna be cold because you got the bag all open. All the heat just escaping out the top. You need an on the way home fry or two or three. No. I got you.
You're my home fry. Stop. You and I got to do something very cool yesterday. It involved cupcakes? It involved cupcakes and fun people and some laughs and some judging.
Yeah. Of set of cakes. Anytime you can go judging, you're kinda like, yeah. Sign me up. I'm a judge.
No. I heard cupcakes, and I said, I'm in. Yeah. For sure. Whatever it is, I'm in.
Yeah. We got invited to go, to Cupcake Wars at the Adventure Center, DDA in Idaho Falls, and it it was a good time. It was a a good time. There was a party happening. They had a bunch of Saint Patrick's Day stuff going on, so the place was decorated.
Everybody was wearing green, which was really fun because nobody wants to get pinched. You know? Right. And so, it was really, really cool. We got to try out four different cupcakes.
I wish there were 20. But the four we had were pretty good. I know. I'm I'm not mad that we that we only had four. But if you had to pick a number between four, which is what we had, and a higher number, what would your higher number be that you would say, alright.
I've had enough. I think four is enough. You feel like four was adequate? Four cupcakes was plenty. You don't feel like you could do another four?
No. You couldn't sample eight? No. I think four was just great. Okay.
Because then I was able to take multiple bites That's fair. Of said cupcakes. That is fair. If you have eight, you're gonna take one bite and be like, oh, I feel sick. Yeah.
Okay. Four is it was great. They were all delicious. We had a great variety. There was a cookies and cream one.
There was a lemon and blueberry one. There was chocolate and cherry and chocolate and raspberry, all designed by the, the folks at, at the, adventure center. And, really, really, really cool. Yeah. It was fun.
We had the best time. And Nate Eaton from East Idaho News joined us as a judge, so the three of us got to got to pick our favorite, which ultimately was What did we decide? The lemon blueberry? The lemon blueberry one. Yeah.
Yeah. Which is a big deal because lemon is not typically my first choice ever. Yeah. It was super, super good. My favorite part was when, they told us to use our best top chef or British baking off bake off judging Yeah.
Vernacular. Right. So we had to use our Use big use big descriptive words. The only thing I could think of is, this is delicious. This one tastes good too.
Yeah. These are these are all good. This one, also delicious. Yeah. I I started throwing out words like, like, oh, this one really, hits the palate in a fantastic way.
It's like a party. Yeah. No. It was it was really good. Turns out I'm not very good at judging cupcakes, but I am good at eating them.
I think the judging went fine. I don't think there was any issues with the I just didn't want anybody to be last. I see. I get that. People last.
I do get that. But it is Cupcake Wars. So there had to be a a winner, and there has to be, three that did not win. So It was fun. We had a great time.
Yeah. Thank you. Yeah. To the adventure center. Yeah.
Thanks for having us. That was a lot of fun. There are some pictures you posted, up on, up on the Classy ninety seven Facebook page. So if you wanna take a look at some of those from yesterday, that was, that was a lot of fun. Thanks for having us.
That was that was great. Good time. If you need cupcake judging, you know, I know a couple people. Pie. You do like pie.
Or ice cream. I mean, I just if you need any kind of food judged. Uh-huh. I'm here. I'm your gal.
Right. I'll be your gal. Me. Alright. Banging your elbows around on the counter over there so you can hold your chin up.
I'm the one. I'm your gal. Yeah. Alright. Pick me.
To judge your food. Yeah. To How about, making dinner? You wanna come judge this dinner? Sure.
Alright. Let's eat. So TikTok has this thing. They've I've seen it a couple of times where you type in the search bar Disney boyfriend. K.
And supposedly, it's supposed to show you I see. What your husband looks like as a Disney prince. Oh, boy. Right? Or which Disney prince you should be married to.
Yeah. They do this for all kinds of things. Two squirrels today running down the fence. That just caught my attention. Okay.
Squirrel. Literally. Yeah. Two squirrels running down the fence. Anyway, it's a math problem.
Anyway, so the latest thing is you type in the search bar makeup, and it's supposed to give you makeup based on what you look like or what you've searched. So one lady that I was following was upset because when she typed in makeup, it said, makeup for a chubby face. Oh, no. And she went, oh, no. So that gave her kind of a complex.
And so I went, well, let's see what I've got. Mine says makeup for women 40. Okay. Check. So far so good.
Makeup for a round face. Okay. Makeup for beginners. Yes. All true.
And what's the last one? Makeup transformation. Oh. Oh. Let's see what mine says.
I've never searched makeup. Yeah. What does your So I search the word makeup for? No. Just makeup.
Okay. I get makeup for women 40. That's my first one. Okay. Makeup tutorials, makeup transformation, makeup for beginners, makeup brush cleaner.
Interesting. Yeah. So it doesn't none of it's real. It's all fake. What are you talking about?
How is it fake? I don't know. That's what they say to everybody. Makeup for beginners and women 40. That's what they said to everyone.
That's what they said to me. Yeah. Why wouldn't they say it specifically for you? They didn't woah. Woah.
They didn't say anything about round face. They didn't say anything about, what was the what were the other ones? What did I say? I got the 40, and I got the beginners, but I didn't get the round face. I did it again, and it said for mature skin.
What's that mean? I don't think it's old. It's a nice way to say old. Well, you know, set set your whole day's mood to a search result. That's that's a way to live life.
Mature skin. Uh-huh. Oh, no. You think it'd be thicker? We had a mini road trip over the weekend.
Yeah. It is. Just a little quick jaunt. Drove to Burley and back. But on the way back, you thought to yourself, I know how to make this trip go a little bit quicker.
And it worked, actually. It went by very, very fast. You hooked everybody up to your Bluetooth. Mhmm. So me and the kids, you hooked up to your Bluetooth, and then we each took turns Selecting a song for the playlist.
Yeah. Here's here's where this comes from. A few years ago, a handful of years ago, a guy that I was working with, was talking about, whenever he would pick up his kids from, sports or from school or, you know, anything like that, he was like, I I let them run the radio. He goes, it's it's an interesting thing to, let your kids be in charge of that because you get to know them a little bit through their musical taste. Yeah.
And so it was kind of an interesting thing, and I just it's always been in the back of my head. And we were driving, and I went, you know, we're sitting here in the parking lot really quick. Let's get everybody paired to it. Let's get everybody hooked up to the thing, and we'll just we'll just switch through and let everybody pick a song. Yeah.
And, it worked out. It was interesting, because it kinda went in in modes. For a little while, it was it was kind of like a favorites kind of vibe, and then it turned into a hip hop hour. It was, you know, whatever. What I liked was Beck and Emery in the back seat, and she'd be like, do you like this one from this artist or this one?
And he'd be like, pick that one. That like, so they were they were kind of vibing over their song choices Right. And their similar likes. And that was interesting because stuff I'd never heard of Mhmm. Old stuff.
Like, stuff that we should know but don't. Yeah. Like, at one point, our son threw on return of the Mac, and I went, what do I That's a TikTok thing happening. Is that why? Yeah.
Okay. But but I went, okay. Yeah. It was a good idea, Josh. Oh, well, you know, I borrowed it from somebody else kinda sorta.
Well But I I used to do that years ago too. Yeah. I didn't hook them to my Bluetooth. But if we were going on a trip, I'd say pick a song. Right.
And then I'd hand my phone number, and they would just pick a song. And it was But I think it's it's a it is really a kind of a good way to get to know your, your family just because everybody's got different musical tastes. And if you if you wanna know kinda what they're into, that helps a little bit. There was one song we had to Yeah. I want what is this?
We had to give back a look and say, no. Yeah. We gotta we gotta not do this. This is too explicit for my ears. Doing?
The family's in the car. Keep that in your earbuds if you're gonna do that, bud. I'll need that. Bud. Bud.
Earbuds, bud? Yeah, bud. It was fun. Good good idea, Joshua. Thanks.
It was fun. Chantelua. Now let's take a longer road trip. I know. Yeah.
So that we can listen to more. More playlist. Yeah. See, as the driver, I also was like, I'm not gonna pick. I'll just let you all pick, which I think worked out fine.
I would do. Like, the same four bands. I know. That's mine is just the same stuff I listen to all the time. Yeah.
That the kids hear all the time. Correct. That's why anything new. Although, here's the thing. Some of the songs that they picked, I didn't necessarily pay attention to because I was focused on what I was gonna pick.
Ah. I was like, what am I gonna pick? Because I wanna pick something that's gonna be something that people are like, ah, respect. Well, yeah. Because that's what's happening in the car.
I want them to be like, oh, mom's got good music days. Yeah. Respect. Yeah. Respect.
No. It's never gonna happen. You don't think the kids are gonna mom, good good song choice, mom. We have before. Yeah?
Yeah. Everybody's told me before that I have good taste in this. That's a win. I know it is. Teenager approves your music.
That's a win. I know it is. Mom win one. There you go. What does mom win one mean?
That means I win one. Oh, I see. One point for mom or is point. A victory point? Yeah.
Oh, good. You get it. I'm mom win one. We were at some friend's house over the weekend, and her her husband had just gotten some very large speakers. That is that is true.
They are they are old school, like, nineties home theater floor cabinets that he is rebuilding, and they are very cool. They are cool. I asked her, do you like those? And she said, I don't hate them as much as he loves them. And I went, that is a very good description of compromise, isn't it?
It is. Absolutely. Because there was many things in our life, especially when we were first learning how to live with each other Okay. That you did, and I went Example. Example, your TV cabinet that was plastered with stickers.
Yes. I didn't love it. Very cool. But I didn't hate it as much as you loved it. Right.
And so I said, it'll stand. I don't I don't wanna die on this bridge, so to speak. That's not the saying. Yeah. We'll leave it.
We're gonna leave it. We're gonna we're gonna let that one sit there. You and idioms are my favorite. You're an idiot. No.
It's not how that word works. You're not an idiom. Let me tell you the definition one more time because I I just like it. I don't hate it as much as you love it. Yeah.
So I think it's great. It really is. What you're willing to fight for, isn't it? Correct. Like, this thing really bugs me so much that I'm going to fight you to remove it.
And now we've gotta now we've gotta work on Yeah. A fix. Yeah. You also hung guitars on the wall? A guitar.
Yeah. Again, I didn't hate it. It's not just a a neighbor who criticized us for it. So there's that. We did.
And because she criticized it, I went, well, that's gonna stay there forever. And and it didn't. No. It didn't. But the fact that she criticized it, I went, this is not your house.
So Right. You don't live here? Don't come in and criticize this stuff. Look at it? Yeah.
So I went, I wanna keep that Wasn't the line something like you let him do that? Like, you let him hang that up there? Yeah. And you're like, yeah. Yeah.
He lives here too. It's his guitar. Why He's an adult man. Yeah. He gets to make his own choices.
You're gonna let him hang that there? Yeah. Yeah. I am. And it's gonna stay there forever.
Look cool? It did look cool. I mean, it looked okay. Coulda looked better. It coulda looked better.
How did I even hang it up? Do you know? I don't remember. Me neither. That was years ago.
That was early. It might have just been like a nail and then, used the strap, the guitar strap to, just hung on the nail. Oh. That might have been it. That's You hung it sideways, not like That's why I'm saying it was probably hung by the strap because there's it's not typical that you would hang a guitar that way.
Normally, you'd have a bracket that holds the head of the guitar that you would hang it on. Well, right. I did not do that. It was hung horizontally. No.
It was hung vertically. Horizontal. No. It was horizontal. Yeah.
In some sense? Yeah. I see what she said. Yeah. Some sense?
Don't walk into somebody's house and criticize for decorations. I forgot that she had done that. Now I'm mad all over again. Well alright. No.
I'm gonna die on the seal. Thanks. Oh, not the bridge? There. Something happened.
You learned the idiom between earlier and now. Did you look it up? No. I didn't. So where did the bridge come from?
I don't know. Burn a bridge. That's where the the other idiom is don't burn bridges or never burn a bridge. You just were gonna die on that bridge, I guess. I'm good at talking.
You are? Somebody should put me on the radio. Yeah. Here you are. It's it's happened.
It's that time of year. 'Tis the season. It is March Madness. That's right. We're talking about the, NCAA men's basketball bracket tournament, and, it's a it's a good time of year.
I I enjoy this, stretch of basketball. Do you? I do a lot. Yeah. Here's what I like about it.
Single game elimination, not a series of seven. So it goes by quick. The passion of the, of the players is huge because they're they're putting it all on the line. I think that's awesome. I think, the excitement and buzz around the tournament is strong, and I and I, enjoy it.
I like filling out a bracket and trying to guess, and then within a day or two, realizing that I goofed up. That's, that's pretty much what happened. I'm just looking at this list. There's a couple of new schools on this list. Okay.
What do you see? Grand Canyon. Grand Canyon. That's never been on the list before. K.
Where where are they from? I would guess. If I were to guess, I would guess. Yeah. So the Or Nevada.
Nevada? Nevada. Something like that? Yeah. K?
Omaha from Nebraska. Oh, yeah. Nebraska. Yeah. Those are new.
I would guess. Okay. I don't know McNeese. I've never seen that school before. Okay.
I mean, and then you get the the oldies. Right? Always expect to see Duke and Auburn. Sure. Texas Tech.
They're always on there. UCLA, I don't see them. Did they make it? Oh, they're there. Okay.
So here's here's what I know. There are currently 68 teams still in play for the NCAA men's basketball championship. West Virginia is not one of those teams. West Virginia. The snub prompted West Virginia governor Patrick Morrissey to call for an investigation into the NCAA.
What? That's huge. At a podium with a sign that said National Corrupt Athletic Association, he described the snub as a, miscarriage of justice and a robbery at the highest levels. Oh. So he's upset.
Some drama. Uh-huh. Yep. If you want to, check out the first four games, those, tonight, number 16, Alabama State versus 16, Saint Francis. Number 11, San Diego State versus number 11, North Carolina.
Now time out because I think Boise State was in the running for a tiny bit. Right? Yeah. Well, they got close. They did not get selected, however.
Dang it. Yep. They got really close. They would've had to go through the first four in order to get into the main bracket anyway, but they were not selected. So that's how that goes.
And then back in 2014, so eleven years ago, Warren Buffett, the billionaire, created a challenge for his employees. He said anyone who filled out the perfect March Madness bracket would win a billion dollars. Ah. He wasn't worried because he knew the odds of a perfect bracket are measured in quintillions. That is a number followed by 18 zeros.
He is now offered the bracket challenge every year, modifying it to a million dollars a year for life for the winner, and there have been no winners. So Uh-huh. Claiming that he's getting older and wants to give away a million dollars to somebody while he's still around as chairman, he's changing the the rules again this year. I know. Right?
Hey, Warren. Warren. Hey, listen. I'll take some. Senior Buffett, we are right here.
Now a $1,000,000 prize will be awarded if an entrant correctly picks the winner of at least 30 of the thirty two first round games scheduled for Thursday and Friday. So if you can get 30 of the of the 32 games in round one, then, you win a million dollars. From Warren Buffett. Yes. Well, you have to be one of his employees Oh.
As well. Rude. Yeah. He's not just putting that out there for anybody. If Jimmy Buffett was in charge of the prizes, he would price He's not.
I thought But what would you get? Cheeseburgers in paradise stuff. Yeah. Yeah. Parrots and stuff.
Duh. Yeah. That's what I know about the bracket. I as I said, I'm excited to fill it out. Thursday is the you have the first four games, you know, next day or two, and then Thursday at, like, 10:15 is tip-off of round one.
So Oh, doggy. Get ready. Oh, no. I'm kinda looking at this now going, I don't know if I wanna fill this out. What happened?
I don't know. It looked like work? Yeah. Yeah. Is that what happened?
Yes. I don't think I can put it in work. Know if I can write down words. Yeah. That seems tough.
Hey. Hey. Another record has been set. Not by you? Not by me.
Oh, poor Joshie. Nope. This record is, from a guy in Wisconsin. He gained some national notoriety over the past several years. He's been eating McDonald's Big Macs every day since 1972.
Ew. Every day? I saw a documentary about this once. No. Not that.
Not the Morgan Spurlock thing. Super sized. Yeah. No. Over the weekend, this guy, Don Gorski, he extended his record and reached a gastrointestinal milestone, they are calling it, when he polished off his thirty five thousandth Big Mac.
Bro. Bro. There's a crowd there, cheering admirers, they call them, who showed up to watch, but also score some free McDonald's food vouchers. He is now 71 years old. He had previously said that many people thought I'd be dead by now, and he doesn't plan to stop.
And he has his sights set on 4 40,000, which is 5,000 more than where he's at right now. He stays healthy by walking six miles a day. Wow. And he never orders a side of fries. It's just the sandwich.
The Big Mac. Yep. Just the burger. And does he order soda? He didn't mention that, but I imagine he probably drinks water and walks six miles, and he eats a Big Mac every day.
Every day. Every day. I couldn't eat the same thing every day. I couldn't. I couldn't do it.
Tell that to the dog. Okay. Who eats brown pellets every day. Say, dog, I couldn't do what you do, eat the same meal twice a day. The dog would say, I know.
I can't do it either, but what choice do I have? And that's when you go, how about peanut butter? And she goes, yes, please. Yes. No.
She goes, anyway, congratulations. Congratulations. Don Gorski. Sure. Congrats to that guy.
I mean, 35,000 Big Macs is is, is pretty good. No. It's not. That sounds pretty gross. It's a pretty big record.
So Congrats, bud. I think No. Don. His name is Don Gorski. No.
No. That's his name. I I know. No to your joke. Time for the would you rather this or that question of the day, Chantel.
Spring edition. Oh, we're back to spring edition? Yes. Super. Would you rather be able to shrink down and explore a beehive or go on a tiny adventure through a blooming garden?
So you're shrinking down either way. But are you exploring a beehive or a garden? I'm picking garden. Yeah. I'm gonna go with you.
You're gonna have to fight those big ants. Why do I have to fight the ants? Well, we both will. You fight the ants. I will.

Oh. Because I'm on a roll. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah.
Terrible. Cool. Let's go on a tiny adventure. Introverted. Having watched Honey I Shrunk the Kids, you can befriend the ant and ride it.
That's true. You can give it a sugar cube. Oh, that was that was rough to get out of my mouth. Sugar cube. What was the ant's name?
Auntie. Auntie. Yeah. They called it Auntie. They I couldn't think of it.
They couldn't have come up with something better than Auntie. No. The aunt. So I don't want a spoiler alert, but the aunt Spoiler alert on from a movie from 1990. Something bad happens to the aunt.
Remember? Yeah. He gets in a fight saving those kids. With a scorpion. Yeah.
Yeah. Who's got scorpions in their backyard? People in Arizona. Yeah. They also don't have grass in Arizona.
People in the foothills. Oh, fair. Let's watch that movie again. That's a great movie. The kids?
Yeah. That's a great movie. Only watch that one. Because when when the baby was walking around Vegas and stuff, I mean Yeah. No.
It's a no go. Okay. Would you rather get tiny or get huge? I'd rather go tiny. Than huge?
Yeah. I'm just gonna stick with the garden. Okay. I don't wanna I don't wanna change up and throw another variable in here. Sleep in a Lego?
Being huge is very big. Behind in the grass? Yeah. Cute. Cute.
Hope that kid doesn't come over to mow the lawn. Hi. That's it? That's it? That's it.
The That's all she wrote. That was What? You know? What does he say? That's it.
You know? Yeah. I've never ever heard that. That's it. See you.
Oh, Josh. Oh, man. You got it. You understood. Awkward Moments Day has not been a disappointment.
Not at all. Awkward Moments Day is my everyday life. That's it. Look. Embarrassing moments happen.
Today is the day to celebrate. Today is the day that it's accepted. Unless you're me, and then you just learn to live with it. And then you accept it always. Can we just real quick?
I mean, not to totally change, tracks on this, but adulting is hard. Adulting is hard. And I just, there there's a a quick list that just popped up that I saw here, and I wanted to tap into it just for a moment. K. Adult problems that, you didn't know you would have to worry about as a kid, but that you have to worry about as an adult.
Obviously, all the bills. Yeah. Right? How much effort goes into eating? Yeah.
I was just thinking, golly. I gotta plan a menu again. I go to the grocery store. Think about what you wanna eat. You gotta buy what you wanna eat.
You gotta cook what you wanna eat. You have to eat what you wanna eat, then you gotta clean up what you ate. And then after you've done the dishes, you gotta put the dishes away again, and then you get to do that every single meal you eat. Single day. And then sometimes when you live with one of your adult children Yeah.
Who has a different work schedule than you and stays up a little bit later than you and you wake up and he hasn't done his dishes Yeah. Then you get cranky. That checks out. You'll constantly do the same thing over and over and over. Clean the laundry.
Clean the laundry. Clean the kitchen. Do the laundry. Pay the bills. Clean the bathroom.
Mop the floors. Sweep the floors. Do it again. Feel like Cinderella. Yeah.
Finally get a weekend of being too mentally and emotionally exhausted to do anything with it. It's on the way. No. You have to do all of the things that you didn't get done during the week. It's true.
Or you don't. And then you just go, well, that was a weekend, I guess. Weekend. I did the things I wanted to do, but nothing that needed to get done got done. So how easy it is to suffer from body pains.
You're old before you know it. Yeah. It becomes nearly impossible to hang out with friends because of busy schedules. I've been trying to plan dinner with a friend, and we keep having to reschedule because I know. Something happened to her last week, and something happened to me.
Making friends, in general is a huge pain. It is. The first time you lose a a parent or sibling, having to take care of an of elderly parents, the cost of living will outweigh the amount you make always. So, you know, there's all that to look forward to. It's fun.
Yeah. We're having a great time. Stay Life is Here. Great. As long as you can.
Adulting is fun. Yeah. Hey. Let's end awkward day and bad adulting stuff and, call it a Tuesday. Awkward day.
