Oh, super, super good morning to you. Yeah. Super good morning. I finished my ASL class. But didn't finish every assignment in the ASL class, so I'm docking you points.
It wasn't even graded. I am docking you points. It wasn't even It's good for practice. If you're gonna fall while carrying the groceries, eggs, which you did. You did well.
I You did well. As I was falling, I held them up high like this. Yeah. Everyone can see what you're doing. I know.
Uh-huh. Good job. We emceed the Idaho Falls Advertising Awards ceremony. And did phenomenally. Did so good.
It was a fun time. Thanks for having us. How exactly do raffle tickets work? Yeah. Tell me about it.
Need to know. Tell me about it. How does it how do they work? Well, typically, you're supposed to turn in the part that they draw Yeah. Not keep that part.
Oh, okay. Smart. Nice one, Chantel. Smart. Nice one.
Mhmm. I got a microscope. How fancy is that? I can learn how it works. You're gonna be a little scientist?
Yeah. I'm gonna look looking at things? I'm gonna look at all of the things. Alright. Cool.
Strands of hair, strands of grass. Look at things at a cellular level. I don't know if it goes that magnified, but yeah. Sure. Josh wants to rack up more library fines.
I guess, apparently. According to you. Turn your library books in. I do. We're a blanket family.
We have, 20 blankets to each person in the house. Plus. Yeah. A lot. Adding old email accounts to your phone is not a good recommendation.
I do not recommend unless you want, you know, 300 emails all at once. Idaho is getting new license plates. Yeah. They they're pretty cool too. They do.
They do. I like them. And we can't stop watching the big bear eagles. They're super cool. They are so cool.
We are Josh and Chantel. The eagles are Jackie and Shadow, and, this is wake up classy 97, the podcast. Enjoy today's show. Super good morning to you. Super good morning to you.
Sir? I just felt like, we should we should have more than just a good morning. It should be Super. Super good morning. I like it, Josh.
I like your I like your energy this morning. Do you? Kinda. I I had not so great energy last night. I was feeling off for a good part of the afternoon, and then, I went to bed a little bit early, which wasn't terrible, especially coming into a Monday.
Maybe that's the thing. Maybe that's the key. Just go to bed earlier. Give yourself an extra hour. You didn't yeah.
I guess you did go to bed an hour early. Mhmm. And it wasn't terrible. It took me a minute. I tossed tossed and turned a bit.
Because, again, I wasn't feeling super tip top, but woke up this morning, and I and, I'm okay. Okay. Good. Yeah. Yeah.
When I asked you how you felt this morning, you said I'm trying not to think about it. Yeah. It's exactly right. You're a little bit grouchy. Well, it's it's Monday morning.
It's 05:00. You could expect someone to be a little grouchy. Try not. Just think about it too much. I didn't say it like that.
You do. Don't even ask me. I didn't say it like that. Yes. You do.
Yes. You did. No. No. You're not.
I left all my shoes on the floor. Then you took your cane and waved it in the air. Like a old man. Yep. Like a cranky old man.
Exactly. I don't think that's what happened. Yep. I think you said, how are you feeling today? And I said, I'm trying not to think about it.
I think that's how it went. I think the picture you've painted, albeit hilarious, is not actually what happened. But that's alright. Yeah. And that's just because I was trying not to get back into symptom brain where you go, oh, this hurts, and this doesn't feel right.
I need to focus on all the things that I wrong. Right. So No. I'm trying not to think about it. You tell me that all the time.
I mean, there's a bit of a mental thing into everything. Is it dull on your own? No. Not all. I think I think it's it was for me, it's easy to dwell on the things that aren't right, the things that don't feel good.
And so if I start going down that path, then it's a it's not a fun place to be. So I didn't wanna think about what didn't feel right. I wanted to stay in the lane of things that feel okay. And right now, I'm feeling alright. Okay lane?
Right. Good job. Yeah. So quit trying to shove me over into the bad lane by asking, what are you feeling? But you shoved me into the bad lane with your attitude.
So When I said, I'm trying not to think about it. No. You are. Are you serious? I'm I'm trying not to think about it.
Yeah. Yeah. Hey. That's considerate of you to ask me. I'm trying not to think about it.
You didn't No. How dare you ask me? I'm trying not to think about it. Anyway, here we are. Monday morning.
Hey. Good morning. Super good morning. Super good morning to you. It's Josh and Chantel.
Hi. So I have been taking a sign language class. I took one class, and then I took the second course. That's typically Two courses. I took two courses.
Yeah. Two course class. And I am completed. That's what you said last night. With both of my courses.
I was I was downstairs. I was playing a video game with our son, and you ran downstairs, and you said, I finished my sign language class. And I said, what? So you signed up, I mean, only a couple of months ago, kind of at the turn of the new year. It was a big deal.
You've wanted to take this class for a long time. Did you sign up in December? Is that right? I think so. And it then it started in January.
Only took you a couple of months to go through the two courses, and now you have completed both of them. How'd you do on your final exam? I got a 96%. That's pretty dang good. Good.
Right? Yeah. Felt pretty good about it. Congratulations. Thank you.
Now you did tell me that you there was one thing that you didn't do. And so you've passed the class even though you skipped an assignment. Is that what I'm understanding? I skipped, like, four assignments. Are you kidding me?
I thought it was one. No. How how am I supposed to cheer you on when you haven't done four assignments? The assignments were I did not know this initially. I read it, but then I kinda forgot about it.
So the assignments were you had to post in a discussion board, and you could get feedback from your teacher and your classmates. Right. The first course, you just would post, like, things how you were practicing and, like, people would say, you know, I'm using flashcards or I'm watching shows or I'm immersing myself in kind of their culture, different things. And she would give you, like, different things to try and and things. And so you would post in the discussion board.
The second course, you had to film yourself signing. So she would give you scenarios, and you would pick from, like, five scenarios. And then you would, like, make a script based on your scenarios. And then you would record yourself, and then your classmates and your teacher would comment on your sign. Got it.
So what I what I I was a little bit behind because I had a busy week. So I was about four assignments behind, so four videos behind. And I was like, I just I was not feeling that. I was like, I don't wanna do this. Like, how much is this gonna hurt my overall class grade?
And I went back to the syllabus and looked at it. And she was like, this isn't graded. It's just a way for you to get some feedback. And I was like, well, I'm not That's important. I'm like, dude.
But I didn't necessarily on the videos that I did post, I didn't necessarily get a lot of feedback anyway. It was just a lot of, oh, good job. Great video. So it wasn't necessarily helpful. Okay.
You see what I'm saying? I understand where where you're going. I went ahead and just found out that there is, a a the deaf community in Idaho is a Facebook, group I just sent you, on Facebook That's great. For you to get connected, and they have different events going on and stuff because you would, at the very least, need to practice. I absolutely do.
And I told you this last night. I go Right. Because you said, is there a course three? And I go, no. There's only two.
But I go, I want to keep learning. I wanna keep I need to keep practicing. Otherwise, it's gonna I'm it's not gonna retain. That information's not gonna be retained. So I want to and I want opportunities to practice with people in the deaf community because that's how you're really gonna grow and learn.
Totally agree. If I'm doing something and they're like, that's that's totally wrong. You're doing that incorrect. Let me help you. There they've got some really cool events.
And now these are all over the state. There's there's, quite a bit going on in the Boise area. Like, they have a board game night in Eagle. Oh, nice. They have, yeah, they have a couple of a thing they call a silent social, which is kind of interesting.
Obviously, there are, all the way from young kids to, elderly people that, that are deaf. And so they're they have a lot of there's a lot of community stuff going on. Yeah. There's actually really cool. Some, instruction There's people that we're talking about, Saint Patrick's Day, the first day of spring, different things like that.
You're I think you're gonna dig this group. Okay. But I think that's the bigger the bigger deal is now that you've finished the class, like, you've gotta I have to practice. You have to keep in keep up with it. You have to be engaged in that community in order for it to During my course, they said that.
Like, try to find people in the deaf community that you can talk to. And so I was kind of like, I don't know where to go. I don't know who to see. There was two instances. One, we were heading to a store, and we saw a man.
And I go, I think that man is signing. And then we walked out of our car, and I go, yeah. He is signing. And Josh said, you said, do you wanna go talk to him? And I go, no.
No. No. No. No. Right.
You got a little nervous. Nervous. I'm like, I don't I just know so little that I'm afraid. And I said, if we go into the store and we come back out, I think he needed help. And so I go, if he's still out there when we come out of the store Right.
I will stop and talk to him. And he wasn't. And I've been kicking myself ever since then. And then I saw a little kid the other day, and I have at my other job, and I happened to say thank you. And she signed thank you, and I went Yeah.
And I panicked, and I didn't know what to do. I know the sign for you're welcome, but I went, you're welcome. And I just thanked her back. Like, I did the sign for thank you back. Taught you off guard.
Thought I was excited. I've so two instances I've had, and I've Well, check out the group I sent you. I will. Thank you. And, and there is also there's education centers.
I've I mean, it took me five minutes to look this stuff up. But, Idaho Falls is region seven. Pocatello is region six, for, these education centers that exist, and they they have directors and everything. So you could even probably get involved in some of that, and that would help you even learn more about what's going on in the in in the world. And that's, good job.
I'm still proud of you even though you skipped four assignments. So that's why I'm I'm encouraging you to, like, now do something. I will. Do something. I will.
Because that's the point. Right? Yeah. That is the point. Well, good job.
93? Six. Nine but you skipped four videos. I don't care. The final grade was all that mattered.
I got a 96. That that's on the final. What's your final class grade? It doesn't matter because they don't grade those things you didn't do. Never mind.
Alright. I'm grading you, and I'm taking away 3%. You got a 93. Rude. Fair.
How about some good news to get you going this morning? Some good news. Let's hear it. Before last year's football season started, Green Bay Packers quarterback Jordan Love Yes. He pledged to donate new cleats to youth sports teams in Wisconsin after each touchdown that he made.
Oh. So he ended up with 26 touchdowns. That's pretty good. You're thinking to yourself, well, that means he donated 26 pairs of cleats. Right?
Yeah. No. He donated 1,300 pairs of cleats to 26 different youth programs in the state of Wisconsin. Good guy, Jordan. Love for cleats campaign, which is really cool.
So to be able to give back and give a brand new pair of cleats is just something that is a small way of just trying to continue to get kids involved with sports is what he said. He also pointed out that the cost of the cleats adds up for families, and sometimes that'll be a barrier for kids being able to play sports. He said when I was growing up, you'd see kids that wouldn't be able to have a new pair of cleats. This is something that just a lot of kids can feel that positive impact from. I like that.
Yeah. Very, very cool. Good. Good, Jordan Love. Thirteen hundred pairs of cleats to 26 different youth programs across the state.
Pretty awesome. Pretty good job. Yeah. I think, I think that's spreading some love, Jordan. Love.
I good job. Yeah. Good thing it wasn't Dak Prescott that was doing that. Touchdowns. Some No.
Touchdowns. Oh, because no one would have gotten leads. Is that Uh-huh. How many okay. Hold on.
Oh. Oh. I don't know why you're just slamming the cowboys to slam the cowboys, but, how many TDs did he the only one I could think of that didn't have a great season. I'm sure there were others that were worse than him, but that was the first one that came to mind. He 23.
He was only three of them. Sorry. Who was the worst quarterback in oh, probably Aaron Rodgers. Goodness. You're just guessing.
Tua didn't have a good season either. The Dolphins didn't have a great season. Oh, Panthers. Who's that quarterback? Which quarterback?
Here we go. This is just which QB had the fewest touchdowns last season? The answer is Let's hear it. Come on. Why doesn't it just tell me a name?
I don't know. It's like It doesn't matter. Yeah. It's really Sorry. It's really slow.
It it says to determine which quarterback had the fewest touchdown passes in the season, I need to find the quarterback with the lowest number of passing touchdowns. Oh. It's difficult to definitively pinpoint the quarterback with the absolute fewest touchdowns. There's stats on all this stuff. Yeah.
There is stats. But it's not giving me the, it's not giving me the name. Sorry to the Cowboys. Name. Sorry that I fired shots.
Yeah. No. That's cool. Jordan Love, good job. Good job, bud.
Good news to get you going. I was getting groceries out of your truck last night, and all of a sudden, I was on the ground. Here's what I saw. Because I had taken, armsfuls of groceries in the house, and I set them on the counter, and then I turned around to walk out. And I could see out the front door that it looked like you were picking stuff stuff up off the ground.
And I was like, oh, no. Like, what happened? And so as I got closer to outside, I went, no. She's picking herself up off the ground. What happened?
So I said, what happened? I don't know. I really don't know. All of a sudden, I went, oh, oh, oh, and down I went. The problem was I was holding the bag of eggs, and I went, don't drop the eggs.
So I held those up. I think I had, like, a bag of cans in my left hand. The eggs were in my right hand, and then another bag of something in my left hand. I don't know what was in those bags, but I was like, these eggs, you can't break the eggs. They're too expensive.
So I dropped the other bags. I have no idea what was in them. I was hoping it wasn't glass jar of spaghetti sauce because it survived as well. That's what I was hoping. I was like, not glass.
Not glass. My bottom took a hit. Yeah. You said that you you'd hurt yourself a little bit because I was I was worried about you. I'm like, eggs are eggs.
Like, I get it, but okay. Are you okay? And you're like, I'm just embarrassed. And I went, I don't for what? Like, I don't even know what happened.
I don't either. And no one was around, so there's nothing to be embarrassed about. But the psychic trip, you look around like, who saw? Who saw? Yeah.
Luckily, it was dark. Luckily, there was nobody around. And I saved the eggs. Well, bravo. I think.
Right? You checked them? They look good to me. You did open them and check? On top.
I didn't take every egg out. They looked fine. Well, if there was no leakage, then we're good. Good job. Yes.
I'm sorry that you fell. I don't know what happened. Tripping on the curb or something. I have no idea. Down I went.
Glad you're okay. Glad the eggs are okay. That's nice. About the eggs. I'm glad you're okay.
No. No. The eggs are expensive. Not as expensive as you with a bumped head would have been. Oh, I wouldn't have hit my head.
Because falling down, you never hit your head ever. What are you talking about? And it was that I mean, it was, like, two inches of falling that I had to do. You're not two inches tall. Not two inches.
I meant two feet. You're not two feet tall. Nope. Not two feet tall. I'm just saying there wasn't a long way to go.
For your head, there is. Regardless, the eggs survived. Get you a helmet. I might need a helmet. That actually is not a bad idea.
And grippy shoes. And that, Bubble wrap. Yeah. Well, they make that that suit for motorcycle riders that if you fall, it's like a airbag suit. Oh, really?
Just gonna get you that. Okay. You just have to wear that around. It may not be high fashion. It doesn't matter.
I don't look at me. Do I care about high fashion? Look at me. When you have to wear this airbag suit all day, you might. I won't.
I'm not that kinda girl. Well, but if you have one for every day, it'll be easy to figure out what to wear. Yeah. It will. What am I wearing today?
Oh, airbag suit? Got it. I love it. Let's do it. I'm not closet full of airbag suits?
Not opposed to this idea. It's look them up. They're not they're not super handsome. Airbag suit. Yeah.
They make these for a motorcycle? They do. Do you need one? You would have a motorcycle. They're $1,500.
Oh, I I'm probably not gonna even just have one of these. If they're $1,500, I can't afford that, let alone. Josh, these are kinda cool. Yeah. Anti fall airbag suit.
Yep. I need one. I can only get one. I can't have a week's worth. Well, you just have to watch it, I guess.
They do make just a vest version, elderly anti fall airbag vest Yeah. That protects your head. Yeah. That's a thousand dollars. These are great.
You need one of these too for your motorcycle. The whole race suit look? Yeah. If I could get it to where it looked like, I don't know. I'd have to I'd have to look at it.
Cool. Alright. Eggs are saved. We did it. Good job.
We as in you. You did it. We did it. Your arms. Yay.
I had my first MC gig over the weekend. Is this gonna turn into a therapy? Kind of. It probably will. And I already have prepared what I'm gonna say.
So this will be great. Alright. Which you have prepared. Go ahead. Here's here's the deal.
Friday night, we were asked to host, the Idaho Falls Advertising Federation, GEM Awards, which is where they celebrate, different, creative advertisements that have been done by, different people, in radio and TV and digital and print and billboards, like, all kinds of different advertising stuff that happens Mhmm. Over the past year. And they give out awards, and you and I were asked to host, the evening, which was a it was a great time. There was good food. There was a lot of people that we got to hang out with.
That was my fourth time hosting. Yes. Your first because, you've been doing this show now with with me, us together. We've been doing this show for a little over two years. Uh-huh.
But prior to the past two years, you've been radio adjacent, I I would say. You've it's been a part of our entire lives together because it's what I've done as a career for Right. Twenty five years or whatever. Right. And, and that's and that's great, but this is your first real dabble into it.
So what do you think? How'd it go? What's hated it. Why? Everybody was like, you're gonna be great.
I was a little bit nervous before. Everybody said, you're gonna do great. You do it all the time. I go, no. No.
No. I do it with nobody looking at me. Right. I don't like talking with people watching. I don't like people looking at me.
I did great. No. I did not do great. I don't feel like I did a great job. I stumbled over words.
I don't No different than any other day. What are you talking about? I know. Don't don't ask me to do that again. Why?
I walked away from that going, they're not gonna ask me to host again, and I'm completely fine by that. Whatever. You ready for therapy? Yes. I saw a thing over the weekend.
Uh-huh. And, and I'm gonna share it with you because it's real real smart. K. If you, meet someone and they say they don't like you or whatever Uh-huh. So Yeah.
Is is part one. Yeah. But part two is they don't know you. Yeah. That's true.
They know, that's it it would be the same as watching a movie trailer. So what name a favorite movie. Billy Madison. I don't like that movie. I saw the trailer.
It looks awful. You're wrong. Okay. So how come that's so easy to dismiss? But when I see you for fewer than two hours I don't know you.
I know a trailer of you that I saw for a total of two hours of your whole life. And that wasn't even a good trailer. Right. And I go, nah. Trailer.
I don't like that person because That was not an accurate representation of myself. Right. It it was. No. But for it's it's not like getting to know you.
It's you on stage reading the names of winners. No. It's not. No. I think you're putting way too much stock pressure on you.
I Yeah. It was just a fun evening. It was just it was like, I had fun. Yeah. Yeah.
I just was, meh about my performance. Okay. That's all. The first year I did it, I I understand. I felt that way.
I feel like I overprepared the first year. I feel like I underprepared. And and I think if I overthink it, I end up worse than if I just wing it. Me too. What?
No. No. No. No. Like, I overthink everything.
And so I did not overthink it because I had been so busy that week to not I didn't have a second to even think about it until about two hours before it it happened, and then it was, like, massive overthinking. So I don't know. I don't know how to prepare better. There was there was a paper that, it was it was sent to us via email, and you printed an email, so that we would have it. And that ended up being Helpful.
Sort of helpful. You made fun of me for printing it. No. I know. Then I during the thing, I went, do you have that paper thing?
I sure do. Yeah. Which which ended up being helpful just for the timing of things because I didn't remember when certain people were supposed to be on stage and stuff. Right. And so that hub.
I had to rely on one time just to make sure I knew where we were. But other than that, pretty much just winged it. Yeah. Clearly. Yeah.
Well, I mean, to be fair, it wasn't like we had months to prepare or anything. It was like, hey. Can you do this thing? And we went, sure. So it was a good time.
It's over. And we saw some people we hadn't seen in a while, and it was okay. Yeah. It's done. And you've now knocked out your first MC gig, so now it's all just smooth sailing from here for you.
Don't say that out loud. Book her for MC gigs. Please don't. She wants the practice. Please don't.
It was a good opportunity. Is that what they say? What a nice opportunity. I don't know. I I was fine.
I thought it was great. No. You didn't talk. So did you. I could have used some help.
Oh, what? People were polite. People said I did good. They're lying. It's alright.
It's over. Done. Take a compliment. Holy cow, man. I'm smart about stuff.
Yeah. That's true. You're, you're an excellent speller. You read fairly quickly. Yeah.
Okay. I'll give you those. You're I can do both of those. Actually better at a lot of things than you give yourself credit for. But what's sometimes I think people have their life like, people know how to put their life in order.
I don't know if I know how to put my life in order. What does that mean? My life feels a little chaotic. Okay. And I can't keep anything straight these days.
Okay. Emery, our daughter, had a fundraising for track, so they got these little raffle tickets. Oh, right. Right. Right.
For the car. Yeah. To fill out your information. Uh-huh. Rip it off, turn that in with your money, and keep the The other part of the ticket.
Part of the ticket. Yes. So I sent her to school with her money, and the part of the raffle ticket that I was supposed to keep. I kept the part of the raffle ticket that had all of our information. Oh, the one that they need to put into the raffle basket.
Yep. You kept that Yep. And sent the other half. So she sent me a text and said, mom, you kept the wrong part of the raffle ticket. And I went, oh, you're right.
I did. So that's how we ended up in the principal's office on Friday, sitting there waiting patiently. Waiting. Waiting. Because nobody knew what was going on.
And they were like, who did you talk to? And I said, the bookkeeper. And they were like, well, the bookkeeper is not here. And I went, well I didn't, I didn't enjoy sitting in the principal's office. It felt a little bit intense.
Well, technically, we weren't in the principal's office. We were just in the office area. Mhmm. It didn't feel tense at all. You you didn't feel like you were getting in trouble?
No. I felt like just me? Total dork. Did you have to go to the principal's office ever? Yeah.
Once. For being in trouble? Insidious. No. But not in, like, junior high or high school?
No. Never. Yeah. Me neither. What happened, Josh?
Nothing. What happened? Nothing. You don't wanna talk to that. You naughty kid.
Yeah. Well What'd you do? Nothing. I didn't do anything. I I do not recall.
Okay. Why'd you bring it up if you don't wanna talk about it? Bring what up? Oh, gosh. You didn't have flashbacks of being in the high school waiting room to talk to No.
Because I was never there. I didn't talk to the principal in high school. I was a good kid. Me too. Me too.
Stop not talking about it. If you're gonna bring it up, you gotta talk about it. There's nothing to talk about. I'm not gonna pry. Good answer.
Either talk about it or don't. Okay. Don't bring it up, you dingus. What? Well, we got the we got the ticket sorted out anyway, and so now everything's okay.
And life is moving on, And, and I just hope I'm not back there anytime soon. That's all. Part was Emery said specifically, when you come, don't call me down. Right. Okay.
Because she's embarrassed by everything. And then we actually ended up had to. She had the thing the receipt that we needed. And so they were like, should we call her down? I go, she didn't want us to.
And they're like, well, we kinda need to. And I went, yeah. Call her down. There was also only, like, five minutes of class left. Like, it was the very, very end of the day.
So it wasn't like she was getting called out and if she was gonna miss something important or anything. Right. No big deal. Yeah. Now I have the correct part of the raffle ticket.
Well done. So I could win a Prius. Oh. I know. I like it.
Double fingers crossed. I could use a new car. I know. It'd be fun. Right?
Be fun. I got five entries. Well, here we go. Good luck to us. Good luck.
Got to do a little thrift shopping this weekend Yeah. We did. Which was fun. Just did some roaming around. I found some books.
I've also found some books, but the most exciting find of all was a $14 microscope. Yeah. You've been wanting, a microscope for, quite some time. Yeah. And I don't know if you're more excited about the microscope or the bee in a bottle that someone put in there that you can look at up close?
You can look at a bee in a bottle. Oh. This is we looked at some microscopes. You were gonna get me one for Christmas, but some of them are a little pricey. And I I don't know if I needed an I didn't know if I needed an expensive one because I don't know how often I'm gonna use it.
But I do think it would be cool to have just a little microscope, and I've been looking for a while at them. And then we found you go, I think there's a microscope over there. It's just a child's kit microscope, but it's $14. And I went Right. Let's look at it.
So we opened it up. It's missing a couple of tools. We didn't know if it had all of the slides, but it was $14. Right. So we couldn't pass it up.
So I'm I'm trying to find a similar one, you know, available online that that is similar to kinda what we got because I need to kinda learn a little bit more about it. It's got some accessories and some things I just don't know about. So, and it's got lots of zooming, and it's got a built in light underneath and a few different things. And so I've been kinda trying to figure it out. And and I need to put something on a slide is what I need to happen so that I can actually get a good look at, what's going on and how to focus it and all of that kind of stuff.
But that's yeah. It was missing the instruction manual. So I gotta see if I can find an instruction manual or something. Sometimes you can email the company that makes it Sure. And say, hey.
I I got this thing. It's missing some stuff. Yeah. Can I purchase those items? And I'll usually send you this stuff for free.
I mean, I they have in the past. Yeah. But that's been, like, for board games and things. It's a little different. It is different.
And I'm happy to pay. I just wanna know how it works because, yeah, it came with the little it came with the little shrimp eggs. Yeah. I don't know how good those are, how viable those are. They are quite.
Are they? Yeah. Because just because the way they work. I mean, it's basically sea monkeys is is what you got going there. Okay.
And you grow them. You that has like a like a Petri dish. Well, sort of. Yeah. That kind of thing where you get to hatch them.
I just wanna look at stuff under a microscope. Isn't it cool? I found a very similar kit. It's the same microscope, a lot of the same tools that are in the one that you got. And it's $72.
Really? Yeah. For this, this particular kit that you got for 14. Yeah. Score.
I know. I was actually pretty stoked. I kept like, I don't need it. I don't need it. And then the second we got it and I walked up to the car, I was pretty excited.
I texted my sister Yeah. And said, look at what I bought. She goes, what is it? I said this plastic case that I bought. It's a microscope.
And she goes, oh, did you want a microscope? I said, yeah. I'm excited. The guy at the check stand said, this is gonna make some kid really happy. I go, me?
Yeah. It's for me. It's gonna make me really happy. It's for me. I can't wait to get stuff.
Here's what here's what we need to get, and and I'll find one of these online. They actually have, prepared microscope slides with specimens. So there's all kinds of stuff. Them? Yeah.
And so you this one is a hundred different slides with all kinds of stuff. Like what? Let's see. Somebody did put I don't know who captured it. Whoever owned the microscope before captured a wasp and put it in there.
Put it in a jar. Wasp in a in a bottle. This has all kinds of stuff. It has, like, a a slice of, of all these things, but there's, like, a leaf of winter jasmine. So you can look at, like, little little pieces of stuff.
There's the epiderm of allium. There's the lower epiderm of leaf. But there's this there's a epiderm of allium. I know. There's a fly leg.
There's a housefly mouthparts. Oh. Ladybug mouthparts, mosquito mouthparts, butterfly wings. Yes. Yeah.
There's all kinds of things for you about that. I know you do. This is a very hard list to read. It's like a really bad photo of a scan. Oh.
But, anyway, they do sell slides. You can get, you know, a bunch of them. Or I can just go into my backyard and find my own specimens. Absolutely true. Won't that be cool?
Absolutely. If we can get it to work. We gotta figure out how it works first. I'm excited. Bro, here's what I'm gonna do.
I'm gonna take it camping. Yeah. I'm gonna find all kinds of stuff. Okay. I am excited for you to find all kinds of stuff.
I am too. Yeah. 25 prepared slides for, like, $16. Not bad. I do see that.
I'm gonna I'm gonna go shopping for some cool slides. Alright. I'm excited to see what you see. Oh, you are gonna be. I'm gonna say, come look at this.
I'll say, wow. Epidermis of allium. Yeah. The thing you've always wanted to see. Alright.
Go get your slides on. I will. Thank you. We went to the library over the weekend, and you couldn't find your library card. So you checked out your books on my library card.
And then you proceeded to tell me I better turn them in on time. Like, I have issues with this ever historically in the history of time. Your when they used to do fees at the library when they had fines, you had $28 worth of fines on your library card. I know what you get up to with your library books. Don't you dare ruin my library card.
Need I remind you what really went down? Tell me. You know what happened. You and the kids decided that, you were gonna use my card to check out some stuff. This is easy.
And then did not return it and racked up so much in fines that when I didn't even know it existed, went to check out a book, and they said, oh, your card has a lot of fines on it. And I said, what? What books? And they read me a list of all these things that you and the kids had checked out and then were late about and never paid the fines for. So I had to pay fines for books I did not check out in order to check out a book that I actually wanted to.
So, yeah, let's let's get real about it here. I didn't have my card. I needed to borrow, your card to check out some books. And and now here we are. You better not be like Are you serious?
I have a pretty impeccable library history. I might just do it just for fun. And and I might I might There's no fines. Yeah. I'm gonna go in and I'm gonna say, hey.
Listen. I know that you don't normally charge fines, but just this once for me. Could you go ahead and knock her a few bucks just just so I can feel a little bit of redemption? My favorite part was that you didn't know one. And I kept saying, oh, I'll just pay it off one of these days.
And then I just kept forgetting. But my $28. My favorite part was that at the time, if you had incurred $5 worth of fines, you couldn't check out a book until those fines were paid off. $28. I know.
And some change. Oh, good. It's outrageous. For some really late books. Yeah.
You think. And this was, I mean, ten, fifteen years ago. This was a for a little. Long time ago. I couldn't find mine, so I had to use yours.
I don't even know why I had yours, but that was the last time you let me carry your library card. Yeah. Now I don't know where it is. It's probably in a drawer somewhere Probably. Or it's in my studio somewhere.
I don't know. It's just carry it for you? No. They don't do fights anymore, so it'll be okay. They they issued you a card.
I because you had lost the initial one, I think, too. Or I had it at the beginning. And you said, can I get my own? And I'm just gonna carry it. Yeah.
I don't don't let her have it. Right. I'm responsible For $28 of debt. I was watching a TikTok where a woman said that she is a blanket family. Yeah.
You showed me this, and I said, that's us. Like, we I I think they have a different extreme, where they said that they're constantly using blankets. I think we're a has a blanket everywhere family. Yeah. I now that's not to say that our kids and you and I didn't use blankets, like, for a good portion of the afternoon yesterday.
I know Emery was cut is always cuddled up in a blanket. Always. Always, always cuddled up in a blanket. Whether it's in a room, our room, living room, wherever she is, cuddled in a blanket. When we go to the theater downstairs, cuddled in a blanket.
That's because the basement is cold. But we were sitting downstairs reading. You were reading a book. I was reading a wonderful tech manual and, really enjoying our time, and we are cuddled in blankets. We have blankets everywhere.
There is a blanket basket in every room of the house, Not the kitchen, obviously. Kitchen dining room don't have, a blanket basket. The living room has a blanket basket plus a quilt ladder. Yeah. So you have a blanket basket, a quilt ladder, and a blanket on the couch.
Mhmm. Three different homes for blankets in the living room. Yep. Our bedroom has a blanket basket Which in case you need an extra blanket on the bed. The blanket basket in the bedroom had, like, your stuff in it, not blankets.
I noticed that, all my stuff was moved around. It's a great place to set my stuff. Yeah. That's not what it's for. Well, it holds my stuff in addition to blankets.
So we have the one in the bedroom. The kids both have blankets and extra blankets in their bedrooms. Yep. Downstairs in the family room, blanket basket next to the couch, plus, two Afghans. One that was a gift for my birthday is is on the couch downstairs.
Yeah. And then from Nicole. And then, and then I have my, really, really super, super soft blanket on my my man chair. And you have the same blanket on the loveseat. And then in the theater, another blanket basket plus that big, hand tied giant, yarn Afghan thing, in there.
Plus there's more big blankets if you open the door. You open up the, whatever that thing is. The what's what's that called? The ottoman? Yeah.
And inside called. More blankets. We have more blankets than we have. Every single person in our house, all four of us, could at least have six blankets. Easy.
Easy. There's at least 24 blankets. Yeah. More than that for sure. I should count them.
I'm gonna count them and see. We're a blanket family. Yeah. And I'm I'm making more all the time. Right.
We have a lot of blankets. I have six more that just need to be, quilted. You know what's a weird word to think about? What? Blanket.
Why? Think about it. Blanket. Say it. Blanket.
Spell it in your head. K. Blanket. What a weird word. So the more I say it Spell it.
Yeah. The more I say it and spell it, the weirder it gets. Blanket. What's that thing laying across your bed? Blanket.
Blanket. That's a strange word for a thing. I like blankets. I need more. You know what's funny is not too long ago, I was just thinking, god, we just don't have enough blankets.
You were thinking that? Well, here's what I was thinking. Not that we don't have enough blankets, but that we have not large blankets. I think we had, like, guests at the house or something, and I was looking for a blanket that covered, like, a king-size blanket or a queen-size blanket, and we don't have a lot of those. We have individual blankets, but not, like, large blankets.
What about all those quilts on the quilt ladder? Well, there's two of them that are big. The one I made is definitely big enough. Okay. Yeah.
Yours is. My T shirt quilt, big enough. Oh, yeah. I forgot about that one. My favorite blanket in the basket upstairs.
That's not big. That's like a twin. No way. That's bigger than a twin. No way.
Yeah way. Well Yeah way. Let's measure it tonight and see. Yeah way. No way.
Yeah way. That blanket for some reason, is is a very comforting blanket to me. I don't know why. That one reminds me of made that. I think it reminds me of a blanket I had as a kid that I would use when I was, sick at home.
That's exactly what it is. I just figured that out. The blanket that that I had whenever I was sick and I'd be watching Price is Right on the Couch, there was this blanket that was just like that. It had a yellow trim around the side, but it it was like red and blue, same kinda deal, just string tied, quilted, little knots all over it. Mhmm.
I that's why I love that blanket. Oh. Yeah. My grandma made that. I'm glad that she made that blanket because that blanket reminds me of being sick as a kid.
I love that little blanket. It's a comforting blanket. Wanna I want that blanket right now. Let's show up into my meetings today Wearing wearing a blanket. Got purple flowers on it.
Yeah. Okay. This is my favorite blanket. Give me one. So I feel cozy.
Yeah. I know. Come to our house if you want a nice blanket. We got blankets. So I did something, and I'm kind of regretting it.
Uh-oh. Because I well, I needed to add an old email address to my phone. Okay. And so while I was in there adding one, I said, well, I might as well add more than one because I've got all these old emails, and I can just add them all into my Gmail account. Then I can just check all of my old emails.
Okay. Right? So I said, I'll add in the two Yahoo emails that I have, and I'll add in the old MSN emails that I have. Emails. I have a a lot of emails.
Why? Well, because I've got work stuff and personal stuff, and then I've got these old email addresses. So I added in these three old email addresses that I rarely check, but I needed one, I was doing a password reset, and I've used it for just a junk thing. Uh-huh. And I needed to get in there to do the password reset.
That's why I added the initial one. But then I thought I got these other ones. I'm here. I might as well add them. I haven't looked at them in a really long time, but maybe there's something worthwhile in there.
There's not, just in case you were wondering. It wasn't. And it's hundreds and hundreds and hundreds of emails. And I'm talking, like, I go through And it's all just spam? It's all just old garbage.
Like, I'm I'm now to 01/26/2024 deleting emails 300 at a time, and then you have to wait fifteen minutes for it to sync again because it's not a real Gmail address. And I refuse to use Yahoo's interface because it's awful. I don't know how you deal with that. You choose to use Yahoo's interface. It's just because I've had that one forever.
That's all. That's the only reason. Point is you can pull it into Gmail. I know. And you don't have to do that.
I know. The other one is still getting new mail every day, and it's all garbage. But it's all just junk. It's all garbage. Shut it down.
You know what I mean? Shut it down. I've had it since I was in high school when email was new. So I've had this for my whole life. So it's kind of interesting.
Hotmail account from when I was in college. Yeah. And I just tried to look that up last week. Well, that sort of is like my old MSN. And I've cleaned up my MSN account, but it goes back to 2006, 2 2.
Yeah. 2002 to 2006. That was before we met. I know. And I have emails with my cousin when he was so he's he's a military guy.
He's now retired military. Mhmm. But I have I have pictures, from when he got a a rank in in February when is this? 02/2006. I mean, you wouldn't even recognize him or his family That's funny.
Versus now. So it's it's pretty funny to look back. Some old emails from me in there. Not in that one. Oh, really?
No. I don't have I don't have that. But, anyway, pretty wild. It's pretty funny. How are you?
But it's also so much junk. There's just, like, tons and tons and tons of garbage. I just have garbage upon garbage. I tried to log in to my old Hotmail account, and they deleted it. Now?
No. No. No. Oh. Like, a couple of months ago.
Oh. And it had been washed out. Because it's been inactive so long. So you gotta keep it active. You gotta log in, delete some emails now and then.
I did. 300 at a time. But my phone's blowing up now because I'm getting 300 emails every fifteen minutes. It's like, you wanna delete some more old emails? Here's more.
Fun. You have something that you wanted to talk about, something regarding plates, new plates. Do I? Did I say anything about new plates? Yes.
You did. I did. It's new license plates. Okay. That's why I'm confused because in my head, I'm going, what are we, what are we talking about plates?
I know one got broken, but what do we need? New plates already? I broke that plate. In the sink. Yeah?
Yeah. That's because I was stacking too many on top of each other on the drying rack, and then one Slipped into the sink and broke it. Ceramic went everywhere. No. What I wanted to talk about was I found out that, this year, starting July 1, you will be able to purchase two additional, retro style license plate designs for your vehicle, which I think is really, really super cool.
Yeah. You are excited about those. Because I really like the simplicity of them, and I think that the the one that gives the nod to the license plate, I remember. So before the license plate was ScenicIdaho, and it was red, white, and blue like it is right now. Before that, it was a white plate with, like, a turquoise border and turquoise numbers.
Kinda boring. So, you know, that's why they moved into the the plate that that we have now, that red, white, and blue one. But they are actually taking a page from Utah's license plate game and putting out an all black one with white letters that looks so cool on cars. It looks so good. Yeah.
That's that's cool. And then they're doing a a a throwback, that white with the turquoise, which I think is really super cool. Mhmm. Now I don't know that they're going to be embossed. I think they'll probably still be printed, but the picture that they show shows the old one with the embossed pressed numbers, which is really cool.
Teal one that you like, is that the one that just says famous potatoes on the bottom? Correct. And then it's got some mountains on the top? But I don't see mountains. Oh.
Do I did it have mountains? Now I'm trying to remember. I don't know. I'm trying to look at what you are looking at. Because the teal one, the one that just says Idaho with couple mountains, that one is pretty cool.
That's Yeah. Yeah. That it did have little mountains on the top. I forgot about that. I kinda like the simplicity of those.
Right. It was pretty cool. And that was the plate for a really long time. But this new all black with the with the white lettering, I think, is gonna look so cool. So I'm really excited to see those, those come out because I I would do either one of those.
I think the old white with the turquoise, old style Idaho with the little mountains and famous potatoes at the bottom is super cool. And not that there's anything wrong with the red, white, and blue scenic Idaho one, and that's a fine design too. I just think, I would like to go a little bit more basic. And that all black with the white letters on a white vehicle with black trim. Who is the license plate graphic designer?
I wonder. I don't know who the who's in charge of that. There's gotta be some kind of board or something. Right? Because then they have to they have to vote on it.
Yeah. But I wonder if I could do a personalized one in that, in that all black. I would like to do that. And I like my fish plates. Don't get me wrong.
I like my fish plates a lot. I almost wish I could have multiples, that I could change out every now and then. Because I do like the fish plate. Can you have I don't think you can because you can only register it once. So you couldn't have multiples.
No. No. But how cool. Yeah. I like the simplicity of them.
I like that they're just pretty basic. Yep. I kind of enjoy that. Yeah. Me too.
Anyway, new plates. Cool. July 1 is when they say you're supposed to be able to put in your order for those if you're into, into checking it out. Are you gonna get one? I don't know.
I'll decide. My registration isn't due until, like, November, and then you gotta play pay for new plates and personalization. It gets to be a little spendy. I know. A little spendy just to make your car look cute.
And don't you want a cute car? Yeah. You know you want a cute car. Cute car. Did you check on the eagles this morning?
I'm watching them right now. And? I can't see them because one of the parents is nesting on top of them, but I don't Okay. I don't know. I here's the thing.
I check-in periodically with, Jackie and Shadow and their eaglets in the San Bernardo Bernadino Yeah. Valley. Uh-huh. It's awesome. Yeah.
They're in the they're in the Big Bear Valley in San Bernardino, California. Yes. I had a lot of questions about eagles, and so I know a lot of eagle facts. Oh, because you've been researching? I have.
Do you do you see how much the snow has melted Yes. Since we looked at this on Friday? Yes. Or I guess we were looking at it on Saturday, but I wasn't looking at the wide view. But, the all the snow in Big Bear is basically gone.
So what I know about eagles is that they take turns nesting. Is that right? The male and the female, Jackie and Shadow in this case Yeah. Take turns monitoring the nest and laying on the nest. The the eagles are hatched, so they're They're no longer eggs.
They're not incubating. Yeah. But they still mom and dad will take turns, like, and they'll take turns feeding them as well. Oh, interesting. I know.
So I don't know how you know who's who. I don't either. Now I'm watching this camera, and somebody from the parks and rec department is updating on what's going on. So Oh, very good. She said at 06:31AM, Jackie and Shadow switched places on the nest.
Oh. And Jackie took a break, and Shadow headed to the nest. And the chicks were fed twice already, first by Jackie, then by Shadow. Yeah. That sounds like our dog.
Our dog wakes up early and gets one breakfast. And then after we go to work, the kids wake up and feed her second breakfast. This little dog has got it figured out. They did say also that the chicks are old enough to be left alone for periods of time. Right now?
There is yes. Okay. There's partial nest attendants, and that's normal. But they're always mom and dad are always nearby kind of watching and making sure that nothing is gonna, prey on them. And you had the question of, like, who preys on eagles I did not up in the nest.
I did not find that. Right. Okay. I'll find that. Okay.
Now there is a contest. You found out there's a contest where you can name the the eaglets. The the little babies. Yeah. Now there were three, and, unfortunately, one of them, I don't know what happened.
But there's now there's only two. That's what I know about that. But here's here's the deal. The Jackie and Shadow chick naming contest is open now, and I'm trying to figure out where you go to participate in it. Oh, right here.
Raccoons, great horned owls Oh, really? Sometimes humans Okay. And other large raptors. So probably falcons, maybe. Okay.
So Friends of Big Bear Valley, are the ones holding the chick naming contest. It is also a fundraiser. They are a nonprofit, and so they rely on donations to provide the bald eagle cam livestream as a public benefit free from advertisements. And so they are asking for a $5, to to enter one name, $10 for three names, and $25 for 10 names I wanna enter. Entries.
Okay. And you have until Friday, March 28, that's this Friday Okay. At 11:59PM Pacific time to submit names. The computer will randomly draw a list of finalists from the Big Bear Elementary Schools. The third graders will be joined by the fourth and fifth graders this year, and they will vote by secret ballot to select the winning names on April, first.
Then they will tally up all the votes and announce Jackie and Shadow's new chick names on their official Facebook, Instagram, and YouTube pages and other social media channels. So if you want to participate I do. Make your donation and enter your name, by Friday at 11:59PM Pacific time, and then a lit a random list of finalists will be, given to elementary schools in Big Bear where the kids will get to pick. I think that's a cool idea. Where do I go to it's at friendsofbigbearvalley.org is where you go.
So you can go sign up, enter a name or two or three or 10 or whatever you wanna do. And they're oh, they're up. They're up. They're awake. There they are.
They are. They have shaken the nest. Y'all they've gotten big even over the weekend. I know. Lick it.
You can definitely tell one's bigger than the other, though. They're and he's kind of a bully. He's kinda mean to the lower one. I'm not sure. But there is one that's a little bit weaker than the other one, and the the The big one.
The bigger one too. By its face. And pushing his head into the nest. I'm not gonna name that one. Oh, the bully?
Yeah. Alright. Well, here we go. We're doing some Look, baby. Eagle stuff.
I haven't checked since Friday, but they've grown since Friday. They're so big. Look at it. They got more feathers. Yep.
Oh, the eaglets. There's so cute. Chantel's eagle update. Would you rather this or that? Would you rather go on a scavenger hunt in a forest or search for seashells on a spring beach day?
Oh. I'm gonna go on a scavenger hunt in the forest. What are we scavenge hunting for? Whatever you want. You're just lost in the forest, not lost.
But what about a spring beach retreat? Spring beach sounds cold. We went to the beach in spring. Yeah. And it was chilly.
And it wasn't like go surfing weather. There were people surfing, but and we were in Southern California about a year ago, and it was surf's on. It was chilly. It was beautiful. Surf's up, surf's up.
Surf's on. Surf's on, bruh. You know? Okay. Idaho boy.
Surf's on, bruh. Yeah. Idaho boy. I am still picking the forest. Okay.
I mean, you didn't pick the the forest in a specific season. No. But I I would go forage, scavenger hunt, whatever in the forest with you. That sounds okay. Sounds nice, doesn't it?
Yeah. I just don't know where what kind of treasures we're after. Oh, any kind. Okay. You just go find what you can find.
Moss and driftwood and stuff? Bones. Bones. Okay, Idaho girl. Bones.
Yeah. You get it. I do get it. I do get it. Let's go outside is what I really want.
No. I know. Isn't it supposed to be, like, wicked nice here, like, into the sixties this week? But the weather the wind is not I'm talking about. Right?
I know. The wind is not Yes. 65, a little breezy. Tomorrow, sunny and warm, 66. Wednesday, 72.
Oh, come on. Yeah. Let's do this. Mostly cloudy Wednesday, warm with temperatures breaking the record of 68 set in 02/2007. So that could be happening, a record breaking hot day Wednesday.
I'm getting out shorts. Oh. Yeah. Don't do that because I'm gonna get out shorts and then it's gonna snow. Exactly.
You're gonna jinx everyone. That's right. I wanna go outside. Go outside. Warmer weather.
We just can't stop watching these eagles. I'm a little obsessed. The I've learned more What'd you learn? To talk about. So the mom, Jackie, is bigger than the dad, and that's how you can tell them apart.
So Jackie and Shadow, Jackie's bigger. Correct. Okay. And she's got a little bit of a diamond shape in her, Feathers. Now is that on her back or on her chest?
Where is that? Okay. Well, we can't see now. It kinda comes to her. We're assuming this is Jackie that's feeding the, the little eagles right now.
Right? I think so. Yeah. And she brought some kind of marmot. Some kind of something.
She is picking apart something. It's kinda gross to watch. She keeps trying to feed them bones. Like, these babies are not gonna eat bones, Jackie. What I also learned is that these eaglets are three weeks old Okay.
And they'll fledge the nest at about five no. Sorry. Eight to fourteen weeks. Typically, fledglings will leave the nest about twelve weeks. So that falls in line with the eight to fourteen weeks.
So we only have to watch them for about five more weeks before they'll start to learn how to fly. And then you were telling me that when they start to learn how to fly, they still come back and nest. It's still like their home for a while Yes. Until they get to be a little bit more. I know that, we've seen some eagles that are, like, their first year or two.
They don't really fully develop the bald eagle white head right out the gate. That takes a couple of years, and they look like punk rock scraggly eagles for a good couple of years. They look crazy. Like, crazy. You wouldn't wanna meet them in a dark alley, crazy looking eagles.
And then, then they kinda grow into themselves, and then they look all majestic and stuff. But it's so cool to watch. If you've not checked out the Big Bear Bald Eagle live cam, you gotta give it a view. And there's two cams. They've got the up close nest cam that we watch probably more often.
But you you watch Jackie kinda leave the nest, and then we looked at the other cam, and the two of them are just perched on the same branch having a little conversation about how ridiculous these two kids are. Complaining about how difficult life with kids is. They're like, man, if we had a couple of microphones and an audience, we could have a show. I'll tell you. Like, it's just ripping apart that meat.
