Yeah. He He was very good at it. He was so good at it. He was super good. Yeah.
Anyway, that was a fun little fun memory. It is March 19. We get things started with the smooth sounds of Josh and Chantel. You get so quiet when you do it. You don't have to be quiet.
You can be quiet and still be smooth. Smooth sound. It's the smooth sound. Smooth sound Yeah. Of Josh and Chantel.
That's right. Smooth. Smooth. Smooth. Let's read to kids today.
Yeah. And just read in general. Yes. I mean, literacy is important. Read a book.
Read. Read a book. Josh unsubscribed to some emails today. Big day. Well, it's a big day because I finally got around to it.
Like, I delete the email every day, and I went, I should probably just not get this email anymore. So it's a big day. Big day. I have undiagnosed adult ADHD. That's true.
I I do. Absolutely. I get so distracted True. So easily. Hey, look.
A squirrel. I where? Yeah. Exactly. The astronauts are safely home.
Yay. Splashdown. That is exciting. Look in my good eye. Which one is that?
This one. Why is that your good eye? It feels weird to look in your good eye. It's my best eye. I'm gonna look in your other eye.
I like the other eye better. Why? Because he has a good eye. And now you make this one feel sad. Oh, was he gonna cry about it?
My messy shoes made awkward day history. Yeah. I hope your day is grand. Yeah. I hope your day is grand.
I hope your day is grand. Have a grand day. Josh has grown up a little bit. Only slightly, and it has to do with, my packages that arrived today. We were playing the Beatles on our piano five years ago.
Pretty well too, I'd say. One of us did very well. You did very well. I did well. Congratulations.
You did very well. Well, I don't know about that. I did well. You did well. A new laundry hack.
It's an old laundry hack. Using for years. Yeah. Yeah. Loose fitting versus tight fitting gym clothes.
Yeah. Go to the gym. No. I'm not being mean to you. I'm not saying, like, get get to the gym.
Oh, I do need to go to the gym, but I don't need you to tell me that. Okay. And an orange rolls recipe. Speaking of going to the gym Delicious. Get yourself some orange rolls.
Yeah. I tell you what. I tell you what. Yeah. I'm hungry.
It's Josh and Chantel. This is wake up classy 97, the podcast. Enjoy today's show. Do do. Shoe.
Enjoy today's shoe. Yeah. Yeah. Messy shoe. Messy shoe.
Hi. Hi. Hey. Hey. You're listening to the smooth sound Oh.
Of Josh and Chantel. You're so quiet. I know because it's just a smooth sound. Okay. Smooth sounds.
I don't know what to do with that. Oh, you just listen quietly. Okay. Maybe fall asleep Maybe. To the smooth sound of Josh and Chantel.
Smooth. Smooth. Smooth sounds. We're about to play Dua Lipa, and that's gonna be, a little more upbeat than smooth sounds. Oh, no.
So just just we'll ease you into it this morning Okay. As we kinda get things going. You got a new book? I did get a new book. Yes, sir.
Exciting, and today is, international read to me day. Would you like to read to me? I'm sure you don't want me to read to you. I don't know. Do I?
Do I wanna sit crisscross applesauce and have you read me a story and show me pictures, kinda, while I have a juice box and prepare to take a little snooze? That sounds like a great read to me. I don't like reading out loud. No? I know you don't like listening to people read out loud.
Like that either. Yeah. Well, really, this is about literacy and reading to kids is really what it's about today. So, we're encouraging, adults to read to kids today on International Read to Me Day. Read.
Just read. Read to anybody who will listen. Read to yourself. Yeah. Read to kids.
Reading is Reading is great. Amazing. It's amazing. Yeah. I bought the new Hunger Games.
Hunger Games. Yeah. And then we quickly discovered that we're missing the fourth book. Yeah. I don't know where that went.
Did I borrow it to somebody? Yeah. Who? Your sister, maybe? I don't know.
I don't know. If I borrowed it to my mom, it's ruined forever. She does not take care of us. Should probably just buy a new copy. Probably.
Probably is a good idea. Oh, man. I know. Because who knows where it is for one and for two, what kind of condition it is. It's destroyed.
She reads it in the bathtub, and then she gets it wet. I know. I never ever ever liked lending her my books even as a youth. She folds the paperbacks back Yeah. Breaking the spine.
Your mom. That's right. I don't like that. Yeah. Alright.
Well, anyway, it it's a good opportunity to read it to some kids today, and, hopefully, we transitioned you well enough from the smooth sounds into Dua Lipa. Yeah. Good morning. It's Josh and Chantel. I, don't like it when I get, email that I did not sign up for.
Yeah. Like, I don't know who sells your no. I did not sign up for this. Sign up. I did not subscribe to emails from my boss.
Why do I keep getting email from my boss? I I don't know who signs me up for stuff. Like, I just unsubscribed for an email that I literally have to go through the process of deleting every morning. It's in my inbox every single day. What's it about?
I have no idea. I don't it is it's like a like a lead generation company or something. Lead? Yeah. What's do you mean that?
I like sales leads. Oh. Like, give me the leads, which again but it goes through a bunch of different stuff. Like, it talks about, like, it's it's listed as media's first morning read. That's that's the voice they use.
Media's first morning read. And, and then they go through, like, stuff that's in the news. And then they've got, like, the headline, half of Gen z viewers admit to streaming while working from home. Woah. Yeah.
Woah. News. Yeah. Streaming TV platforms had a best yet share. Okay.
Great. Like, what do I need this for? Attention shoppers, Macy's has optioned Julie Sathow's best selling novel. Neat. I don't need this information.
So get rid of it. I just unsubscribed. Look at you go. But I I why is it taking me this long to scroll to the bottom of the email and hit unsubscribe? I've deleted it for probably well over a year.
Because it's a pain in the butt to unsubscribe from things. Totally agree. And sometimes you unsubscribe, and you still get their emails. Like, it's happening to me. I'm being tortured by one email.
You know, the neighborhood app? Yeah. They send me emails all the time. About lost cats and stuff? And I go, I don't necessarily care about this.
Have you logged in lately? No. Because by default, when people create new neighborhoods and stuff near you, it adds you into those notifications because it thinks you want to know what's going on in your neighborhood and your neighboring neighborhoods. No. I don't want to.
I just wanna quietly sit in my house and not know what's going on anywhere. Yeah. Yeah. I'm with you. Sorry that your cat ran away.
And, no, I didn't hear the big boom. It might have been trains hooking up. I don't know. Okay. But I've unsubscribed from that multiple times, and it still sends me them.
Yeah. Well Oh, it's harassing me. It's it's sort of is, is Facebook lite in a way. It is. Isn't it?
Yes. It is. Yeah. Isn't it? And that Isn't it?
And then yard sale season comes around, and they're like, here comes more yard sales. I like yard sales. Yeah. I I I think, yard sales and estate sales have, their place, but, also, I I find that I don't necessarily want to buy anybody's old stuff. Okay.
However, you did bring up a good point when you said that, as I look for fly fishing and fly tying stuff, that I probably should start checking estate sales. Dude, I tell you, that's gonna be where you're gonna have so much luck. I think you're right. I think you're right. You're gonna you might find some really good stuff.
I agree. But I'm gonna have to really kinda open my eyes to it a little bit. I hope. Open your eyes. They are open.
Oh, good. Good news to get you going this morning, Chantel. Let's hear it. 69 year old Tom Kelsey. He is on an epic journey.
Is he related to the Kelsey football players? No. Okay. I'll listen. Okay.
Tom Kelsey, he is 69 years old. He is walking a thousand miles across England to raise money for charity. As he walks along the Welsh border through Liverpool and across Peninnies, I guess. He will be wild camping along the way. He's got a tent, his bare essentials, and a 30 pound pack, and he hopes to cover, 15 miles each day.
Listen, I've done 50 mile backpacking trips. So over the course of five days, you walk, between ten and fifteen miles with 30 pounds on your back. Now I'm in mountainous terrain Right. Doing it, and he's he you know, I'm sure he's got roads and rolling hills and stuff like that. So it it's definitely achievable for him to walk 15 miles each day.
This guy is is gonna be hoofing it. He is gonna be putting in the effort. And how much work is or how much does it say how big his pack is or how much? 30 pounds. 30 pounds.
Yeah. Which is typical. Okay. That's that's pretty typical. Yeah.
Yeah. His goal is to raise $13,000 for WellChild. That is a charity that supports seriously ill children. He also expects to raise awareness about the cause each day. He said people have sent me out and about and asked me have seen me out and about and asked me what I'm doing, and that's a chance to raise the profile.
I'll be thinking about the kids while I'm hiking it out. That's nice. Yeah. Really cool. So way to go, Tom.
Walking a thousand miles across England all to raise money for, WellChild, a great charity. So his goal is 13,000, and he is hoofing it with his £30 backpack. Oh, good luck, Tom. Yeah. That's a big journey.
Stretch. Stretch. Yeah. Do do your morning, sun salutations and calisthenics. Those are very important.
And Don't get any leg cramps because that's gonna be sad. And, hopefully, it doesn't rain on you much in your a thousand mile journey. Good luck, bud. Yep. It's good news to get you going.
You sent me a TikTok video yesterday, and I feel personally victimized. What did I why do you feel, like, victimized? What what did I do? The video shows a man inside his house that he shares with his wife. That's right.
In their home. He's going around showing projects that she started that she completed, and then he's made up a cute little song. That's right. She started a thing, and then she started another thing. But she didn't finish the first thing.
She keeps starting things without finishing others. And I wanna know why you sent that to me. I just thought it would relate to you. I thought you might see, yourself in it. I see yourself in it.
Woah. Easy. Easy. Settle down. I, I think that you have told me, in past conversation that you have a problem with that where you'll you'll have, like, oh, I'm gonna go do this thing.
But then on your way to do the thing, you stumble across a thing you need to do, and then that thing distracts you from the original thing. And then as you're doing that one thing, you'll have to be like, oh, I need to go clean this thing. And then you'll go, oh, but also I could grab a Q tip and clean this whole thing in detail. And then the original thing you were gonna do never gets done. Yeah.
So that's why I sent it to you. Josh, that is called ADHD, and I millions of Americans suffer from that every day. Hey. And I feel You're undiagnosed for one. So that's fine.
Go get diagnosed. Number two, yeah. I agree. You might have that. And I'm not attacking you.
I thought you could relate. I thought you would find humor in it, not not, whatever it is you're feeling. Shame? Yeah. Shame.
Yeah. It's guilt? It is not shame. Guilt? Why guilt?
Because I should That's an interesting feeling to have. Well, I always have guilt. What for what? Oh, everything. Why?
Always. Oh, I don't know what to do about that. It's okay. I live with it every day. Because you shouldn't feel attacked.
I wasn't attacking you. I was just sharing a funny thing to make you know that you're not alone. Okay. Well, I am I was hoping to hoping to make you feel some camaraderie and that other people are like you. I mean, hers was more extreme.
She had, like, half painted walls, and she just moved on to another thing. I'm like, this is bad. Like, you're not that you're not, like, to that extreme. It's that's mostly because I have projects like that, but I I know that it's gonna take a while. So you just don't start?
Know I'm gonna get distracted mid project, and so I haven't started. Like, we have a piano. I wanna paint the piano. Want you to paint the piano. You don't?
Now you're going back on it? You said yes. Did I? You did. I wanna get it tuned, which we we've got a guy, we can get it tuned.
We have a a friend of the show who gave us a number for a guy who will tune it. But I I just it's so cool. It's a cool piano, but I don't like the color. From, like, the twenties. It's from the nineteen twenties.
It's a hundred year old piano. Yes. I know. Now I'm just like a hundred year old piano. Bad.
Why? Because it's still just gonna sit there, but my point is, like, a hundred year old piano. I know. I know. It's heavy.
No. I It's got the weight of a hundred years. A piano is heavy in general. It's got a giant, huge amount of metal inside. No.
I'm disappointed. I thought you would I thought Oh, man. You weren't gonna get to the project anyway. That's fair. That's fair.
I'll give you that. So, you know, we could take the piano downstairs. No way. Could you imagine? What are you talking about?
That's terrible. That's a terror that's the worst idea you've ever had. Do you imagine? Down the stairs. I know.
Ew. No way. And then if we ever sell our house, guess what? It comes with a piano. Piano.
With a hundred year old piano? Not I'm not moving that thing up to the basement. I didn't have it. It's bad enough moving a washer and dryer down there. That's true.
That is true. Yeah. Well, we'll we'll have to talk about it, I guess. It's just so cool. You know?
No. I think it could be cooler. We could bring it back to life. It is alive. It's kind of sad.
It's a it's sad. Well, let's talk about it later. Alright. The astronauts are home. Are they home?
Yeah. I didn't know they made it. Did they I I heard they were on their way, but I didn't know how long it was gonna take. They splashed down off the coast of Florida around 6PM eastern time yesterday. So about 04:00 yesterday afternoon our time.
Okay. They're home. I knew that they, they were on their way, which they were up there for an extra, what, three months or something? For nine months. Nine months.
Good grief. They were only supposed to be there for eight days, but they got stranded. So they were up there for nine months. So they they got stranded because the vessel that took them up there was a Boeing vessel, and the Boeing vessel had some sort of air leak or something, and so it was unsafe to return. Yeah.
The thrusters malfunction. Oh, it was actual it was something more mechanical than that. Okay. So did they what happened to that piece of equipment that they rode up on? No idea.
I don't know. I don't have that information. That's probably in, articles somewhere, but I not in this one that I'm reading. So they are they are known as the Crew nine astronauts, and there were two of them. Yeah.
Three, four of them? There were two. Sunita Williams and Butch Wilmore. And then there must have been two other astronauts that came back as well with them, because there were four in the in the pod. Oh, gotcha.
And the little one says, roll over. Come on. You get it? I do get it. I do.
That was good. Alright. Well, you know, there's lots of pictures and video of the capsule, and and the high speed boats that went to pick them up and stuff, which is kind of fun and exciting. It is fun. And there was a pot of dolphins that kinda gathered around when they landed.
Here's what I wanna know. Like, if you plan to be in space for eight days Yeah. Right Mhmm. And you pack all your stuff, you're equipped, and you're like, oh, maybe I'll pack a little extra because you never know what's gonna happen. And then you're up there for nine extra months.
Yeah. It's a bit of a problem. Think about if you're just going on vacation somewhere, and you're stranded there for nine months. All your Nine months. I know.
All your stuff. I mean, what if you didn't pack enough underwear? Well, I how do you do laundry in space? I don't know, but I bet that's been asked, and you can watch the NASA channel and find out. I think it's interesting because they've been, out of gravity or out of Earth's gravity, I should say, for, for so long that when they get back, they have to be, put into, basically, like a stretcher, like a like a gurney Uh-huh.
Seated upward upright. So they're in, like, this reclined position and then rolled around. I bet there's a a duration of time to reacclimate to the air pressures and the gravities of Earth. I bet that's real interesting. Yeah.
I think that's kinda fascinating to me. Their return time was a seventeen hour journey from space. Is that right? Yeah. I just you'd think it would be more, wouldn't you?
Well, that's why I I was like, I don't know how long it it would be, but I knew they were on their way. So I'm glad they made it. That's good news. That's great news. What time zone do you think space is in?
Global? No. I bet they just use, whatever time zone they're familiar with. Well, that's a good question. Now I gotta find out.
Okay. They were on they were in space for more than two hundred and eighty days, but this is not the record. There was a Russian cosmonaut. He holds the overall record for being in space for four hundred and thirty seven days. That's decent.
That's over a year, isn't it? Yeah. It is. They use Greenwich Mean Time or Greenwich Mean Time. So they are basically set at zero.
Oh. Where our time is, like, seven hours less than the mean time. So, hey, in the meantime I think that's where that comes from. Maybe. I don't wanna look it up.
Weird conversation we had last night. And and only weird. No. It's weird. Not only weird because it was, it was unexpected.
Not that it the conversation itself was weird. The conversation was fantastic, and it led to kind of a a lot of extra thought, but it was just weird and that it was unexpected. That's all. So, essentially, the conversation was when you are making eye contact with somebody while you're looking at them. Yeah.
Or while you're having a conversation while you're looking at at the other person. Yeah. It's women typically this is my friend said this. Women typically shift their gaze between both eyes Right. During conversation.
What we found out from our friend, our male friend Yeah. Said that he specifically only looks at one eye Right. And he's chosen an eye, just one that he's I think it's I, and I'm in the exact same position. It's the the person you're looking at, it's their left eye. So it's to my right.
But even, like, looking across at you, I'm looking in that eye. I'm looking in that eye. This is not even my good eye. What does that even mean? That's not your good eye.
This is my best eye. Look in this eye. This one is my best eye. Clear over there. Not not like a mile away.
It's just that's that's not natural for me. It's natural question was, does I wonder if that has anything to do with right or left hand dominance that you would look to one one eye or the other. I don't know. I look at both. So I did I did a little bit of digging this morning and found out that when engaging in conversation, it's generally considered natural to engage, natural and engaging to switch your gaze between both eyes, which is what our friend said that she normally does.
And you said the same. You'll go back and forth. But then during TV shows and movies, female actors will do the same thing. They'll move back and forth as they're talking to someone. Mhmm.
I haven't noticed that. I have. You have? Uh-huh. Do you do you do that?
You bounce back and forth? Yeah. That's a real thing. You're doing that right now looking at me. What I do.
I look at both. I look at both. It's kinda shifty. No. It's not shifty.
I have to look at both of your eyes. If I pay attention to just one, then I'm ignoring the other one, and that's sad. It does say that you should avoid staring, which I think is a different thing. While my maintaining eye contact is important, staring at one eye can come across as intense or unsettling. Yeah.
You think? Are you unsettled? Yes. A little bit. Are you looking at just this one?
Yeah. Okay. I'm gonna close it. So then you have to look at this one. I'm still looking at that closed eye.
What if I move my head? I'm still I still will focus on it instead of looking at that one. Look at that one. What if I block it? I'll pretend I can see it.
Do you do that to everyone? You look at their left eye only? I don't know. I've I hadn't ever thought about it. That's why it was such an interesting, kinda weird little conversation.
It does hard to be natural about it now. Yeah? Right. Like, you can't Because I'm overthinking it. Exactly.
They do say that, you should use what they call the fifty seventy rule when making eye contact. Which is? You should maintain eye contact around 50% of the time while, speaking and 70% of the time while listening. Say again. Eye contact 50?
50 percent of the time while you're speaking, 70% of the time while you're listening. Okay. Okay. That checks out. I think I do that.
Probably. I try very hard to give people my phone to check. Give it much thought. I just exist until last night, and now I can't stop thinking that. So thanks.
Look at this eye. I don't want to. Just this right one. No. This is my best eye.
I don't know what that means. Why do you think it's your best eye? I don't know. I'm just saying dumb things. Because your left eye is great.
I've been looking to your left eye for years. Well, that's nice. Only the left one? Do you even know I have a right eye? Look.
There's a whole another half to your face. It. Wow. Yesterday was awkward day. And you achieved a new level of awkwardness that I've never seen.
I did. First of all, you told Emery that it was awkward day, and you said mom is winning all the awkward awards. And I said, no. I was cool. I was being cool yesterday.
And Emery, my lovely dear daughter said, I doubt that. Let's let's start with the awkward, text that you sent. But I didn't mean to be awkward. I know you didn't. I know you never do.
What happened was, and, actually, we'll we're gonna talk about that in a minute. I see you've got that as a separate conversation. So we'll talk about the awkward text in a minute. I don't wanna I don't wanna spoil that. Well, we can rub it all in.
No. You no. That's fine. Okay. We'll save that because that sorta deserves its own moment in in the in the sunlight.
That's fine. Let's stick with what happened, yesterday evening. We had to run to the grocery store because we had to get some snacks, for our daughter because she's got a track thing today. And so, anyway, as we're at the store, we're walking around, and there's a display, little end cap display of some beverages. And Lionel Messi is, is like, a, what, a spokesperson for this beverage, whatever.
So his picture is on there. He's a soccer player. Okay. If you don't know who Messi is, yes. He is a soccer player.
Some people might not know. Okay. That's fair. For Argentina. K.
So there's a display with Messi on there, and there's this younger couple, and then there's you and I. And this younger couple is walking around the corner, and one of them spots it and goes, hey. There's your boyfriend. You should come take a look. There's your boyfriend.
And there's a whole stop or you guys were going around the corner here right behind him. And you were wearing your Messi Adidas Sambas. Yeah. I have bright pink Very cool shoes. Adidas Sambas.
Yes. And they are Messi brand. They say Messi on the side. Yeah. They're the messy Sambas.
And and you, you said, oh, I have messy shoes, so he's my boyfriend too. And that was real super awkward, Chantel. They they went and pushed their cart away. That's but the most awkward the most awkward part was the little dance step I did. You did do a move where you put your shoe out.
I got messy shoes. I got messy shoes, so he's my boyfriend too. Alright. Whatever. It's cool.
It was super cool. I thought it was cool. Yeah. When I told the kids, Emery just sighed and walked away. Like, she couldn't even She if she would have been there in the store, she would have been three aisles away before you even said, I have messy shoes.
She would have seen your move, and she would have been Graham. Wait. She'd be hiding in the loaves of bread. When I told Beck that I did that, he said, you did not. I said, yeah.
Yeah. No. That happened. I don't think it was that bad. It was fun.
It was fun. Shoes. I have messy shoes. She's my boyfriend too. It what happens here's what happened.
Shared connection. It really was with strangers who we did not know. What what I think happens is in your brain, you go, you know what would be really fun is if I told everybody I have messy shoes on and that, he could be my boyfriend too. So I'm gonna do that out loud now. I did.
And then I think what happens and and live your life. That's that's the best. That's a free spirit thing. I think it's great. Yeah.
Like, you just let the thing out. Yeah. That's true. Happens is a lot of people who feel embarrassed by that story or go like, I would never, they've repressed that, like, inner thing where they go like, a kid would do that. A kid would be like, I have messy shoes.
Like, do you know what I'm saying? Yeah. Like, you've tapped into a freedom that not a lot of people have because it's been stifled away because that's gonna be awkward. It wasn't awkward. It was cool.
And we're gonna I'm gonna be best friends with those people now because Is that right? They thought it was hilarious. They did not walk away awkwardly. Yeah. They did not run away to get out of the crazy fucking aisle.
You are correct. That's not what I saw happening. No. It wasn't. They didn't hustle away.
Not messy shoes. Alright. Let's, let's dive into this awkward text message that you sent our daughter. And let me start by saying, I know your reaction to what you were about to say is it's not awkward. It is.
It's not meant to be awkward. No. The way the fact that she feels like it's awkward is really funny. Also, you have it written, wrong here because that is not a comma. That is a period.
And there is not one on the end of that. Alright. Now we fixed the exact way that it was written. It is a total of seven words. And these seven words that you wrote have, put our daughter into a a a frenzy.
No. I wouldn't say that. She was in hysterics in the back seat. You say hysterics. She was rolling, laughing hysterically, about this text.
And all you said I'll read it the way you wrote it. Hey. Have a hey was not part of it. Mm-mm. You said, have a grand day.
I love you. That's not what I said. That's what it says. I said, I hope your day is grand. I love you.
Alright. Well, then let's fix it here. I hope your day is grand. So I had this I had this wrong. Your day is grand.
I hope your day is grand. I love you. One, two, three, four, five, six, nine words. K. Nine words.
I hope your day is grand. I love you. Now that's a normal thing to say. It is an it is a nice sentiment. It is a very nice thing to say.
You said, that you used the word grand because you wanted to vary up the message because you didn't wanna say the same thing every day. Because she has told me before that I say the same thing to her all the time. Right. So you said, watch this. I'm a mix it up, and I'm gonna say, I hope your day is grand.
I love you. That's a nice thing to say. It is. It's a good text. And we picked her up last night.
First thing she says was, what is up with that text? And I go, what are you talking about? I hope your day is grand. Period. I love you.
Yeah. Because you put a piece of punctuation in between. I hope your day is grand. I love you. I hope your day is grand, period.
I love you. And she read that thing 50 times over and over and over laughing hysterically in the back seat. Have you texted her today? Yes. Oh, I thought you weren't going to.
No. Of course, I'm gonna text her. She's got a big day. I know. Yes.
I checked her. Tell her? Did she hope you did she have a grand day? I said I hope you have the best time. Good luck.
We love you. Okay. How many punctuations? I used two exclamation points Nice. And one comma.
Alright. I don't know what the problem is. I don't know what the problem is. There is no problem. Text.
It is absolutely. But our 15 year old really was like, what is this? I hope your day is grand, period. I'd have you. I mean, you can't win.
No. Like, you you could have said, have a terrible day just to be different and funny, and she would have been like, why would you say something like that? But even if I had said, you're the best. I love you. Hoorah.
Hoorah. She go, why'd you say hoorah? Who says hoorah? I don't know. Just you.
I'm never gonna live I'm never gonna marines. Yeah. Exactly. That's it. I'm never gonna live it down because she said she sent me the same text this morning.
I hope your day is grand, period. Yep. I love you. No punctuation. I hope your day is grand.
I love you. That's fantastic. It's rude. It's, it's not. It's actually pretty funny.
And you'd you know, you're just trying to be the best mom. Yeah. And you're doing great. So Doing grand. Keep it up.
Some might say. I hope I hope your day as mom is grand. Okay. Can we, pause for just a moment so I can give you some exciting updates? No.
No. No. I just thought I should let you know because I haven't bugged you about it. I placed an online order on the weekend, and I have not said a word until today when I got updated this morning that my two packages are arriving today. And I waited, and I was patient, and I didn't, look at my phone every minute of every day to check on it.
I knew they were supposed to arrive Wednesday. Yeah. And I I got the notifications that they were out for delivery. That is all I have paid attention to. Job.
And how does that make you feel? Terrible. Why? Because I I feel the same as if I would've checked it every minute of every day. I'll have you know that I ordered I preordered a book Yeah.
Probably about a week ago, maybe even a week and a half ago. Uh-huh. I ordered it, and I trusted that the system would work. And I said, okay. It's supposed to be delivered on this day, so I'm gonna wait and see.
And then yesterday, I got a notification well, I got a notification that it shipped. Right? Yeah. And then I got a notification that it was in my area, and then I got a notification that it was delivered. And I went, great.
Everyone did their job. Okay. Perfect. I never have a concern that someone's not gonna do their job in the shipping process. You sent me a text and said your package arrived.
And I said, yes. I know. Thank you very much. You didn't even respond. I said it to myself.
Respond to my text at all. Because I know. You know why? Because I get the notifications. But I don't know that because I don't have your phone.
So I don't know what notifications you get. Ordering and shipping works. I don't know specifically how it works for you. It works the same for me as it does for everyone. So thank you.
Anyway, so I'm excited because my, my two packages, my two books I ordered are going to arrive today. Good job. So I am, I'm excited to get my fly fishing books. Yeah. You've been waiting for this.
Especially the one. The one is not in print anymore. And, and I even know the author personally, and I've asked him if he has a copy of it to which he does not. Oh my. He doesn't I I imagine he probably has his own copy, but he doesn't have any extra copies or anything like that.
So I found it online, pre owned, and I now will own that book as of today. And I'm very excited. Well done. Yeah. And well done not telling me anything about your deliveries.
I know. I haven't looked. I haven't checked. I didn't even like, I I'm sure I went through and got the, like, your item has shipped notifications, but I just didn't even pay even look at that one? Didn't even pay attention because I know that's part of the process.
You were testing yourself. I and it's been awful. It's been awful, and I can't wait until they are in my hands today. There was one of them that I thought wasn't gonna get here until Friday. So when it got updated to today, I went, I have to talk about it.
Both of them are coming today. It's very exciting. Congratulations, Josh. Thank you. This is a big day.
I know. I honestly didn't even know that you I mean, I knew that you had ordered them, but I you haven't kept me updated, and it's been glorious. Well, I've hated it. I've hated every minute of it. I've loved every minute of it.
So thank you. That was a gift to me. Well, you're welcome. So Facebook has this thing called memories. Uh-huh.
And it will randomly show you not randomly, but it'll show you, like, things you posted, five years ago. So one came up today. This happened five years ago, so 2020 Mhmm. Right when we were shut down Oh. In quarantine.
So this is this is, during pandemic time Yes. Photos and videos. Yes. Now that's interesting. That's been five years ago.
An excellent memory, though, because when we were stuck in quarantine, we took the time to really we were taking art classes. We were watching shows together. We were reading books together. We were we had bought a piano, and we were I wanted to play the piano. So I was trying to learn how to play the piano.
That's right. And it took me weeks and weeks and weeks and weeks and weeks and weeks to learn the simple notes to play the beginning part of Hey Jude. Yeah. It took me weeks. And so I finally, without making any mistakes, was able to record myself playing Hey Jude.
Now playing is is a loose term because I wasn't getting any of the other I was just getting basic main keys. Okay. I wasn't working on any of the, what, the melody. Okay. Or any of the bass notes or anything.
You are one one section. Right? You were basically doing all of the right hand Correct. Not the left hand Correct. And right hand of the song.
Is that what I'm what I'm understanding? Absolutely. Yes. So it's kind of a ping ping ping ping ping kind of Every time I sat down to play, I would hit those same notes, and the whole house would go, oh, here we go. Right.
Because Mom's practicing again. We'd heard, hey, Jude a lot. That's what happens when you're trying to learn something, isn't it? It is. That's what practice is about.
So I had finally felt comfortable enough to record myself playing the song. I was pretty proud that I could play it without making any mistakes, and I did. And I recorded myself, and I posted it on Facebook because, yes, I wanted accolades. Right. Yes.
I got accolades. Right. Later on that day, I hear piano music coming, and I walk upstairs, and I go, oh, it's Josh just playing out I can't even remember what you I think it was imagine. I was playing imagine. Beautifully, perfectly without even looking at any music.
You just sat down, and you're like, I think it sounds like this. And you just started playing it. That was very frustrating. Five years later, and you're still frustrated by it? Yes.
I mean, think if you would have kept up practice I know. For five years. I know. But life got back to normal, and life got busy again. And there was never enough time to practice, and there was never enough time to learn.
That was an interesting time for a lot of reasons, and I know that everybody has a different kind of perspective on that particular time period. But the fact that we spent so much time as a family and doing stuff like that and being creative, and we camped a lot. Like, we spent, like, thirteen or fourteen nights out camping. Like, it was a lot, which was really cool because that was it was, like, weekends and Friday nights and Saturday nights, like, multiple, different times we just got to go do stuff. And that was it wasn't all bad.
No. I didn't I I got to I got to really get to some living. I didn't hate those moments at all. It was, like an early kinda sort of quasi retirement in a way. We watched.
Yeah. We took some drawing classes, and we were painting, and it was fun. Yeah. It was an interesting time. Until you showed me up on the piano.
And then you were like, nah. Everybody go back to work. Yeah. Everybody. I hate everyone.
Yeah. You have the videos. We should post them. I am gonna post them. I'm gonna mash them together to make one video.
Perfect. We will post that everywhere on all of our socials, so make sure you're following at classy ninety seven KLCE Side note. Including YouTube and TikTok. Five years ago, I had red hair. Oh, interesting.
I do. I don't anymore. How about that? Like, red, like, red red, or was it that maroonish color? Kind of an orangey tone Oh.
Because it needed a dye job, but you couldn't go to the hair salon. True. So funsy. Okay. Alright.
There's a laundry hack. I say hack in quotes because I've been doing this for years. Who said this is a hack? The Internet. Oh, okay.
And what have you been doing for years? So there is a couple, and she asked him where the laundry cup was for detergent. And he said, oh, I threw it in the washer with the clothes. Right. She kinda freaked out.
And she said, what do you what? Why? And he said, it says on the back of the container to do that. And she was like know it says that. It does.
Oh. And so they looked at the container, and it sure does. It says rinse after use or toss and wash. Yeah. So we have, a little, water spout on the inside of our washer that, on because we just got a new one, like, a few months ago.
And in that, the little water spout, you can rinse out the cup. But I have found that it doesn't fully rinse out, which I was kinda bummed about. And I don't know if that's because it's it intentionally doesn't have enough pressure Probably. To, to make suds or if it or if it just is designed to do that. I don't know.
But I was doing that because I like that feature. I was like, this is cool. I can push this button. I can rinse the cup out. But I ended up just throwing it in anyway because then it just washes with the clothes.
Yeah. A lot of people are are freaking out because they're like, what? You can't just throw that cap in the in the laundry. You can. You can.
I try to be sure to take it out before I put the clothes in the dryer. I don't like to dry the cap. Well, I don't like to either, but sometimes it gets mixed up in the clothes. Yeah. I really try to search for it.
Good job. I I put in extra effort to make sure it doesn't roll around in the dryer. Good job. Yeah. I don't.
I I know that. But I'm I'm saying maybe maybe should. Why? I don't know. Oh.
Also, somebody opened up the new one before finishing the old one. I know. I don't know who did that. I don't know either. Because the old one still has a lot in it.
I know. So So I've been using the old one, and you've been using the old one. I would take it then. So that would mean it was one of the kiddos. Oh.
It's fine. They're they're they're doing their laundry. I don't care. They're using soap. Complaining.
Yeah. But guess what? You can throw that cap in with your clothes, and nothing happens to it. And it's fine. It rinses out.
Before you put it in the dryer. It doesn't say you can put it in the dryer. I mean, you shouldn't, probably. But Yeah. Be bothered is what I'm saying.
Jeez. I'm bothered already. Yeah. Yeah. No.
I can tell. Hey, gym rat. Who? Me? Yeah.
You? Yes. I frequent the gym. How frequent? Every day.
No. I mean, maybe in your mind, you're like, I should go to the gym. Yeah. Every day I go. Yeah.
Yeah. I should probably go to the gym. Right. I could go after work, and then I go. Let's talk about workout gear.
What do you wear when you go to the gym? Typically, leggings Uh-huh. And a shirt Well, that's important. And sneakers. K.
But that so that's your typical thing? Yeah. There is a battle going on between Gen z and millennials, about the clothes they wear to the gym, and the consensus seems to be that millennials and older like their workout gear tight, while gen zers prefer baggy workout clothes. And, of course, both sides think they're right. So you're you're a leggings person.
Would you wear like a like, I I would assume when we talk about, loose fitting clothes, we're talking about not not like yoga style pants. We're talking about, like, joggers. Probably. Jogger sweatpants. Yeah.
And, like, a probably a looser fitting T shirt. That's what I would imagine. Oh, and tops too. They aren't wearing, you know, like, a constricting top that which you don't. You wear, like, a, like, a, like, a wicking T shirt or something like that, I assume, or a tank top.
Right? No. Not a tank top. You have in the past. Oh, sure.
I have in the past, I guess. Yeah. Mostly a T shirt. When you're trying to show off your arms because you got those big guns at the gym. No.
There was a couple of years ago that we were going to the gym pretty regularly, and I was getting pretty That's what I'm saying. Pretty large cannons. I wouldn't say large. Pretty medium sized cannons, and I kinda liked it. I see.
And so I did like showing off those a little bit. So it does look like it's it's more of like a like a tight sports bra type top, but then looser pants. That's kinda it I think it's more about the pants than the top, honestly. I think that's where the, disagreement's coming in. I found some baggy bodybuilding pants that kinda look, like MC Hammer parachute pants.
I kinda might need some. No. They're pretty cool. No. They're pretty cool.
No. I think we'll be okay with that. You could see me, rolling around town in my bodybuilding pants, grabbing groceries. The kids will not be seen No. I'm with me.
Hate hate those pants. They look very nineties. They're very cool. I don't Very hip. No.
Very cutesy. Yeah. Yeah. Very demure. Is that is that still a thing?
I think that one's dead. I think that's a dead one. To save the dead ones. Do you? It makes the kids happy.
Oh, good. They they'll be seen in public with you and all your dead memes. Anyway, we should go to the gym. Yeah. We should.
Ult ultimately, that's the moral of the story. Yeah. Alright. We could do we could use some of that. Tight fitting clothes, loose fitting clothes, gotta go to the gym.
Would you rather this thing or that thing? It's would you rather this or that. Would you rather listen to frogs singing by a pond or hear crickets chirping under a spring starry sky? I know my pick. What's your pick?
Crickets. That's absolutely the right answer. Is it? Yes. Why?
The frogs are fine. And I've I've been camping with frogs. They're a bit annoying, especially when there is an abundance of them. Yeah. But the crickets and the starry night and the camping and the That sounds nice.
Mhmm. Or even just hanging out in your backyard and listening to them. I kinda like that. Yeah. That means it's gonna be warm.
That means it's gonna be warm weather. There could be a crackling fire going. Yeah. You could have a full belly of delicious camp food. Yes.
You don't even have to be camping. I'm just I'm thinking even in the backyard. I know. But even in the backyard, I've had a good meal. I'm now sitting around the crackling campfire.
I'm ready for it. Me too. Yeah. Even not the crackling campfire. You've got that little solo stove.
I do have that. You and I go sit on our little chairs. I know. Watch the sunset. Yeah.
Yeah. I want some warm weather. I know. Now I'm depressed. I have a lot of work to do before we're gonna be real comfortable.
Like, all the stuff's put away in the shed for one, so all the stuff has to come out. But for two, I gotta fix that deck. I got some I've got some more skirting to do because I got, I've I'm a win this battle with this cat this year. Keeping that cat out. But I do have to I do have to do some repairs on the deck, and then I've got a I've got new ideas for the poles with the lights out by the fire pit.
Oh. I got so many things rolling around in this old noggin. It's wild. Okay. I'm excited.
Plus, I wanna stain the, pergola. Yeah. I got so many things. I know. I do too.
Anyway, would you rather this or that? Lovely. It's crickets all day. Over at eastidahonews.com, I know it's Wednesday, but on Tuesdays, they do a feature called Tasty Tuesday. Oh.
And before, we've pulled up some of the foods they have, and the recipe they have today is because remember, it was Boston cream pie donuts, and I never made them. And I still need to. Yeah. I still need to make those. But the one from yesterday is easy, zesty, sweet orange rolls with delicious glaze.
And they look really good. I like orange flavored things. And they're made with frozen bread dough, so you don't even have to make the dough. I know. Isn't that smart, though?
Take frozen bread dough and you completely thaw it out, and then, you, put a you, like, roll it out, and then you put it in the strips, and you roll the strips up, and bada bing, you got yourself rolls. Really smart. But then they're glazed in orange and stuff. Oh, come on. Yum.
And then if you threw in some cranberries in there I don't need that, but you could. I could. Yeah. And I would. Yeah.
And some nuts? Again, you could. And I would. Right. I wouldn't.
I'll just eat them the way the recipe says. I don't need all that other stuff. You're just putting putting speed bumps in the way of delicious orange rolls. So quit it. Speed bumps.
Anyway, if you wanna check out that recipe, it's in the tasty Tuesday section at eastidahonews.com. And with that delicious thing, we're gonna wrap up the show for today.
