Can you how fast can you count to two hundred? One, two, skip a few, 99, a hundred. Skip some more, then you're at 200. That's the lamest way to count to 200 I've ever heard. Today is our two hundredth episode of wake up classy 97, the podcast.
You won two skipped a few. And then I skipped some more. Yeah. I heard. And then it quit rhyming.
I know. But boom, we're at 200. I haven't said that in a very long time. Well, when do you think you'll say it again? I don't know.
Alright. Welcome to the two hundredth episode. It's Josh Gentel. Hey. Hey.
Hey. Hey. We are two hundredth episodes We are. Old. We are.
Congratulations. Happy birthday to us. If that's what you call it. Happy anniversary. It a because it isn't an anniversary of when we started.
It's just and it's not like a birthday of the origin of the it's our two hundredth episode. 200 of these. You believe we've, made 200 of these? That's a lot. We've been doing this.
For a long time. Why? I mean, that's that's not even a fraction of the shows we've done together. Just the podcast that we launched in May of last year, we've now hit 200 episodes. It's a lot.
It's astounding. Good job to you. Astounding. It's Wednesday, March 26, episode 200. Big ole two zero zero.
I've got some tips to sneeze quieter. But, I don't want to. I know. I like the way I sneeze. How come everyone is on spring break except me?
Or us. What? I mean, it it's not just about you. It's always just about me. Remember meeting people face to face?
Yeah. What was that about? I don't know. NC double a men's basketball tournament rolls on. And you're checked out?
You don't care anymore? I don't necessarily I'm not in it. Okay. I I just do meh about it. Sounds good.
I'm like a warm bowl of porridge. Yeah. Smooth. Lumpy. No.
That's a different story. You you and your lumpy movement, that's a different story altogether. You're so nice to me. I know. Napster is still a thing?
Yes. Josh hacked into his old Myspace account. That's a fact. We want a doctor's note to take the show on the road? Yeah.
But then you also wanted to steal a theme song from Carmen San diego. No. It was just a rough draft. I'm dangerously close to becoming a sourdough bread girl. Yeah.
You gotta watch your step or you're gonna end up in a starter. I kinda wanna try it now. Oh, here we go. I want chickens. I want to make sourdough.
Until you don't. It's not hard to embarrass our daughter. Easiest thing in the Earth. I love to make lists and rate things. This is true.
And, also, apparently, give people homework on spring break. And my made up holiday. What's it called? Chantel day. Pretty original.
Pretty original. Are we celebrating? Yes. How? I I'm just gonna have to go to work.
With our two hundredth episode. Woo. We are Josh and Chantel. This is wake up classy 97, the podcast. Hope you enjoy today's show.
Hi, Chantel. Oh, hey. What's up? Hey, Chantel. Why are you saying it like that?
I'm just saying hi. Oh, hi. Hey. Hey. What's up?
What's going on? It's Wednesday. Yeah? Wednesday, that's kinda sort of our Friday. Correct.
Well yeah. If all things go according to plan, we could be back on Friday, but probably won't be based on everything I've heard from everyone. You're not gonna be back on Friday. Yeah. I am, I'm gonna be a little less wise when I come back.
Getting my wisdom teeth taken out. All four of them. Yeah. Here's the deal. This is something people tend to go through as children.
Yeah. Or adolescents at best here. Right. You were an adult when you had yours done. Yeah.
I got mine taken about out about three or four years ago. I feel like it might even be more than that. Maybe. It's been a minute. I have not had them taken out, so I'm going to have them taken out tomorrow.
And everybody's like, you're not gonna be good to go on Friday. It's early it's early in the morning tomorrow, and then, you know, my my plan was to take tomorrow off and be back here, you know, jawjacking on the radio or whatever they call it. Jawjacking. And then Whatever that means. It's, like, old speak.
It's old nineteen twenty speak. I've never heard that before. Jibber jabbering, on the radio, and, and but that's not what's happening. So, I'm I'm probably not gonna be back until Monday Right. Up to speed.
Correct. So that's, that's the the backup plan is that I will be back on Monday. So today is kinda sort of a Friday is what I'm trying to say. Kind of. Yeah.
I mean, not really for me. I still have to work at my other job. Oh, yeah. Oh, yeah. Cool.
I imagine I'll probably do a good fair amount of sleeping tomorrow. Correct. Because you're gonna be on a lot of drugs. Yeah. I'll have painkillers going.
You have the good stuff. I don't know what that means, but okay. And then, you know, we'll try and keep everything rolling smooth on Monday. Today is, kind of a little bit of a big day as we are, this is our two hundredth episode of the podcast. I wish I had, like, confetti.
I know. That would be fun. This you've been doing the show for, like, over two years, and we've done well more than, 200 shows together. But as far as wake up classy 97, the podcast is concerned, today is our two hundredth episode, which is pretty huge. That's a big deal.
Go us. Makes you tired thinking about it. It does. When you think about it this early in the morning, you get tired about it. Still dark outside.
Yeah. That's a lot of work. 200. Let's celebrate by going back to sleep. That sounds good.
That sounds like alright. What else is going on? That's that's pretty much it. I think that's about that covers it. It's it's a Wednesday slash Friday, and, this is the two hundredth episode of the podcast.
The, like, five hundredth episode of the show in general. Every time I say two hundredth episode, you yawn. Stop saying it then. Stop yawning. I can't help it.
It's the two hundredth episode. Well, congratulations to us. Yeah. It's a it's kind of a cool thing. Yeah.
It is. Yeah. Anyway, if you've never listened to the podcast, check it out everywhere podcasts are available. Today's show, the two hundredth show, will be available shortly after we wrap up at 10:00 this morning. And you can listen to the whole thing in about an hour or so.

School? Yeah. Twenty twenty four? Yeah. From last year.
Mhmm. Old school. Anyway, good morning. Good morning. It's Josh and Chantel.
Hey. Hey. Do you consider yourself a loud sneezer? No. I do.
No. You consider yourself a loud sizzer? Yourself a loud sneezer. Yeah. That's a hard word to say.
Sneezer. Loud sneezer? Why would you say I'm a loud sneezer? I would call you Ebenezer sneezer. Ebenezer?
Ebenezer. Yeah. That's what I was talking about. Loud? I feel like he just.
Yeah. Grumpy. No. I I would say my sneezes might be grumpy. So Ebba sneezer could be fine.
I'm just trying to make Ebba sneezer make sense. It doesn't need to make sense. It just rhymes, and that's all the sense it needs. That's all. Here's some tips.
To make my sneezers not so crazy? Why is it quieter? Alright. There is an ear, nose, and throat doc I was trying to figure out how to phrase this sentence. Alright.
I got it. I got it. Figured it out. I'm ready. There's an ear, nose, and throat doctor who said that it is possible to sneeze quietly.
In fact, we, as Americans and most people, like to sneeze loud because they feel it is satisfying I to sneeze loud. I it's all subconscious. I'm not actively being loud. But your nose and throat doctor would disagree with you. I disagree with him.
He said if you need proof of this, go to Japan. You'll never hear a loud sneeze there because it's considered rude. That's fine. Isn't it bad to hold it in? It is.
You're not supposed to hold it in. That's not what I'm saying that you That's what would be happening if I didn't sneeze the way I sneeze. You have these it's like a devil's sneeze. You go a chew and then like that. I can't catch my breath most of the time because I I sneeze with full force.
And then you do, like, 10 in a row. I know. And then I can't catch my breath, and then I have a hard time. And then I go, and I think I'm out of air. Like, I'm winded because I am.
Okay. Here's some tips on how to make it quieter. Are you ready? Sure. We're gonna practice some of these today.
Okay. Exhale right before it happens. Then I won't have air. The more air that's in your lungs, the louder your sneeze will be. I already have a problem with not being able to catch my breath.
Typically, people have an an urge to inhale right before you sneeze. Try to exhale. Yeah. Alright. Relax your vocal cords.
That's your problem. That's my problem? I don't know. The oh at the end of a chew only happens if your vocal codes vocal cords vibrate and your mouth is open. Uh-huh.
So relax, Josh. Just relax your vocal cords. No. Remember to exhale before it happens and relax your vocal cords. Keep your mouth closed.
And then your eyeballs fly out. No. Yeah. Push your tongue to the roof of your mouth to direct air pressure to your nose. Way too much to remember.
I don't know. Plus, if you direct all of your air pressure to your nose, guess what happens when you sneeze? What? Full on green elevens. That's what happens.
This is a terrible recommendation. This guy doesn't know anything about sneezing. I don't even have his name. He didn't even wanna know his name. Because it's all made up.
Also, just sneeze into your elbow because mama will do that. Plus, you look like Batman or Dracula. Yeah. If especially if you hold up a cape. Oh, Choo.
So secretive. Yeah. It's like you're whispering to yourself. A two. Also, he did say don't ever hold in a sneeze because guess what?
Yeah. It could rupture your eardrums or tear a hole in your throat. Yeah. I'm not doing any of the things he's recommended. What?
I'm gonna because I don't control my sneezes there. Try and excel exhale right before it happens. We're not. And we're also gonna try and relax our vocal cords. We're not.
Let's just give it a try, Josh. Let's just You you go for it. I'm not the loud sneezer. I don't have a problem with how I sneeze, Ebba sneezer. I have heard people that sneeze way louder than me.
I agree. I'm not a loud sneezer. I sneeze a lot. You okay. That's maybe that's it.
Just the amount of sneezing that you can control that either. It's a it's my body's subconscious reaction to dust or I know somebody who, like, screams when they sneeze, and I go, unnecessary. Correct. That's what I'm saying. Like, that person is is awful.
I feel Mine is just the way I sneeze. That person is just trying for attention. That's why I anytime someone sneezes, I yell the word fake. You do do that. And then they go fake?
What what what are you talking about? And I go, you just want everybody to look at you. Stop sneezing like that. You just want everybody to look at you. And then everybody goes, what are you talking about?
I've I've said fake to sneezes. Boy. Boy. Fifteen years or more Yeah. I've been telling people they sneeze fake.
We, as your family, have gotten so used to it now that it's it's nothing when you say it. But when you catch people off guard, and you say it's done the first time. Sneeze and I go fake, and they go, what? Why would I fake a sneeze? And I go, so that everyone would look at you.
Stop it. Attention grabber. Yeah. Quit fake sneezing. Have a sneezer.
Have a sneezer. Right. Well, thanks for the tips, anyway. Try. Keep it You go ahead.
Keep it quiet. Keep it quiet. I don't need to I don't need to sneeze quieter. It's you. I'm not not a me problem.
I beg your pardon. I'm just fine. I like how I sneeze. Why you wanna change me to conform to your your desires? You don't like that.
Love me the way I am. Oh, jeez Louise. Oh, jeez Louise, Ebasneezer. How about some good news to get you going? Let's hear it.
This, over the past decade, Caden Jackson is a teenager from, Lawrenceville, Georgia, and he's been on a mission to help those in need. And this spring, he is collecting and distributing hoodies to young people who are between homes to make sure that everyone feels loved and protected. Over the years, he has gathered thousands of winter items, hats, scarves, gloves. And now with warmer weather approaching, he is shifting gears to collect hoodies. He said they're for kids, adults, anybody who needs them.
I feel, like I'm doing what I've been told to do. This is the thing to do, and I'm and I'm just gonna fulfill it. I'm gonna do it, which is pretty special. So, yeah, kind of a good, a good shift, I think. How many times have we been like, wear a coat?
And they don't. And kids don't wanna wear coats. No. They don't. They wanna wear a hoodie.
They want a hoodie. And, and so I think he's got his head on his shoulders when it comes to, like, here's what here's what adolescents need. Here's what teens need. Mhmm. I wanna help young people too.
That's so funny. I'm collecting a bunch of hoodies. I need to help these kids. So I think yeah. Way to go.
Caden Jackson is his name, from Lawrenceville, Georgia, fulfilling that that mission to help people in need by collecting and distributing hoodies. And I'm trying to find, if there's a way you could get involved maybe if you had some old stuff laying around that maybe he, Could use. Could use or something. But, you know, there's there's a whole bunch of, information, online if you wanna check out. Lawrenceville Teen donates hoodies to help those in need is the full story.
So good for him. Way to go, Kaden. Way to help the community and give back. That's what I'm saying. That's how you make it on good news to get you going.
Everybody's on spring break, it seems. What's a spring break? Exactly. I haven't known a spring break since I was in high school, so it's been a lot of years since I've known a spring break. I know.
I know. Now you, for a long time, worked in, in a school. And so you had summers, and you had winter break, and you had spring break, which worked really well because the kids were, younger, and and so you actually had the enjoyment of spring break. Yeah. It was awesome.
Winter break and all that. I loved it. Yeah. As an adult. Have that anymore.
And you haven't had that for four years? Yeah. Or how were you adjusting? Great. It sounds like My point is that everybody is sharing their vacation pics on social media.
Seen any of that. And I don't care about that. That's not true. I did see one of my friends is in Disney. Let me scroll real fast and see if I see anybody else.
There's a lot of people on vacation, and it makes me sad. And it also makes our daughter sad who is at home alone. She doesn't know how to drive yet. Right. So she's kinda stuck all day.
And then she all of her friends are on vacation. And so she's feeling kinda sad and lonely. I've been trying to think of things to do when we get off of work. And we've been busy. We've been we've had stuff going, every night.
Well, right. So Monday night, I was like, let's go do the family trivia thing. That'll be fun. And then last night, we couldn't do anything because we were we had other plans. Right.
But tonight, I've got an escape room booked for us. Right. So we'll go do that. Maybe get some dessert afterward. Tomorrow, you've got wisdom teeth Yep.
Taken out. Yep. So we're kinda stuck at home, which is fine. So I said, hey. Let's do some baking.
She likes to bake. Yeah. Cool. So we're gonna mix some cinnamon rolls Nice. And maybe watch some of these doing homemade cinnamon rolls, or you're doing it from the can?
What's the No. No. No. She wants to do homemade. Yeah.
So that's what we're gonna do. Okay. And Friday. When are we gonna do Friday? Uh-huh.
I think I had a plan, but now I can't remember what it was. I don't remember. If the weather's nice enough, like, let's be gone. And if I'm feeling up for you Even if you're not, me and the kids are gonna be gone. Well, me and Emery probably.
Beck probably won't wanna go out. Anyway, I'm Well, I liked it. I mean, look. I think it's important that you're at least putting forth some effort to make spring break a thing. I mean, look.
There there are people that have to work during spring break all the time, and spring break isn't a thing. Exactly. Also, people share their highlight reel on social media, so you can't look at it and go, oh, man. Well, that's what I'm doing. I know.
Quit. Quit doing that. You quit. No. I'm not doing that.
I don't I don't see my buddy at Disney and go, oh, man. I do. Nah. You do? Yeah.
Why? Because I wanna be at Disney. Okay. Wouldn't you rather be at Disney than here at work? Yes.
No. Not right now. Why? Because I'm having a good time right now. Oh.
Get me on a bad day. Like, yeah. I'd rather be at Disney today. I've never been to Disney. I don't even know what I'm missing out.
Exactly. Me neither. It seems like a lot of people and a and an expensive situation. Expensive. A lot of people.
Hot. Yeah. A lot of walking. Would I like to go wander around Star Wars land and, like, be immersed in it? Yeah.
Absolutely. Do I feel like I would, also wanna build my own lightsaber? Yes. Would I also want to build my own, r two unit, my own little droid? Yeah.
Probably. So, you know, then it just starts adding up and adding up and adding up, and then, you know And then we're Disney magic. Yeah. And then you have to take it all home. And then what are you gonna do with it once you get it home?
Fight you with my lightsaber. And I don't think that's necessary. Yeah. It is. I think maybe let's just stay out of Disney.
Okay. That's the best course of action. Save some money. Right. So my point is I don't look at like, if I see people that are like, we're on the beach.
We got our feet in the ocean. Ah. Then I go, okay. I could I could go for some feet in the ocean right now. Me too.
That sounds real nice. But But we're here. I'm here. I got my feet and shoes dangling underneath my tall chair. That's what I got.
Look on the bright side, I suppose. What's that? Oh, it's supposed to be nice today. Weather wise? Yeah.
Yeah. So look on the bright side. Shorts two days in a row. I did not wear shorts today. Good for you.
But Thanks. Happy spring break to those of us who are stuck still working. Which is the majority of people. Yeah. It is the majority.
The majority of people. High five to us. That's right. Go get yourself a cookie. You deserve it.
You deserve it. Yeah. I need you to kind of, travel into the past a little bit. Okay. How far are we going?
We're we're going back to when you were in college. Oh, I'm so proud of college. You're at Idaho State University. Yes. You're living in Pocatello.
You're in the dorms. Yes. A fun time. I've heard many, many stories about your time, in college in the dorms. Yes.
Let me ask you. Was your door often open Yes. Like, all the time? Yes. People walking by in the halls.
Yes. You'd yell at each other. You'd you had friends. Yes. Like, you met new people.
Yes. That was a thing. Yes. So as of late, and I don't know when this really started happening. I don't have, like, documentation on that.
But the trend in dorms is just to have your door shut. No. It's a privacy thing. It's a door shut. It's I'm in here.
It's my my domicile. This is where I exist. I'm gonna just hang out in my room, watch TV, text, whatever it is that I'm doing on my phone, whatever. Time out. Let me go back in time.
Yeah. Because I the first year that I stayed in the dorms, I had a roommate, and we were on a really cool floor. Oh, okay. I loved that floor. And then the What made it cool?
The people were nice. Okay. My resident adviser was awesome. I loved her. And then and my roommate was cool.
We had a great time. The whole floor. Like, I just loved the whole floor. The whole floor of girls, they were just friendly, and everybody had their door open. We were always just, like, vibing.
Okay. Like, there was a group down the hall, and they would always just be blasting their music. And, like, people would walk by and, like, jump in and sing along with them and dance. It was just fun. And then the second year, I moved up to the Third Floor.
And because I wasn't a freshman anymore, I was able to have my own room. So I didn't have a roommate. Now that floor, I didn't necessarily love. I didn't love the people on that floor. And so my door was shut most of the time on the back floor.
Okay. It didn't have the same sense of community Not at all. Before. Alright. So I just saw this video this morning.
This student, is is starting a trend of opening the door. That's all it is. It's real simple. This they're saying this girl went back to the nineties or February. She put her phone away.
She quit texting. She opened up her door. When people walked by, she's yelling at them going, hey. And she's meeting friends face to face That's how you do. School way.
Well, we didn't have I went to school in 1999, so we didn't have I mean, we had a phone on the wall. We didn't have cell phones. Fair point. Fair point. We existed before cell phones.
I often forget that. I forget that little factoid in my age. Like, we got computers pretty early. I mean, I was in my teens when we got a computer, so I've had the Internet and whatever. I always forget cell phones weren't a thing.
I mean, I brought a video camera. I borrowed my mom's video camera on the last day of school because I was like, I gotta remember it all. Seen this tape. It's not it's not much going on. No.
That's no. Anyway, yeah, they're they're saying this girl, she exchanged her phone for interactions with people, where students are currently socializing through social media or texting or whatever. That's my favorite year of college Yeah. That year. This girl decided to do something different.
She opened up her dorm room and quickly started socializing, shocking a bunch of students as they're walking by. Yeah. That is how I met my two very best friends, who I still have as my very best friends today. So open your door. I mean, come on.
This trend could catch on, and people will start meeting and talking face to face. It's a wild circle we're on, but boy, would that be healthy. It would be very healthy. Let's do this. That's what I'm saying.
Open your door. Talk to people face to face. Meet someone. Yeah. Anyway, thought you'd like that.
I do like that. Thanks for the memory. You're welcome. I'm gonna be out of the studio for the next couple of days, and tomorrow, the NCAA men's basketball tournament returns. The sweet 16 kicks off our Sweet sixteen already?
Yeah. I have not been following along. You haven't? No. Oh, well, I sent out an email because we've got a little bracket contest going here.
And and how did you feel like you did? I know you read through that. Yeah. I did read through that, and then I said, I don't care about this. I was way down on that list.
Okay. Yeah. You are. You're, in thirteenth tied with several different people, and then your other bracket is in eighteenth. Out of 20.
Well, out of 20 brackets. Yeah. Yeah. And I have the number 20 bracket. I also have the number three bracket, but my my, number 20 bracket is dead.
It's busted. It was the one where I just chose all the upsets. That's cute. It got 34 points. It's your number.
It's the three bracket, the one that you used AI to help you? No. No. No. The one that's in third?
Yeah. No. Okay. No. That one is, I think, number five.
I can't remember. I only have four or number five. I only have two in. You have five. I put in five.
Yeah. Because I thought it was fun. Spend all of our money. Oh, 10 whole dollars. Yeah.
That's just not it. Yeah. Come on. Anyway, BYU's still alive in this thing. Their game is tomorrow night.
05:09PM is when, tip-off is against Alabama. Now they're a sixth seed, and they've made it farther than, several different people, analysts, and so forth thought they would. Yeah. Well, Clemson's out. And, anyway, so BYU is still moving forward.
I don't know why you Clemson is not related to BYU. But No. I know. I just They're just out. Clemson a higher seed than BYU?
I don't know where they were. That's why I brought them up. Well, they didn't play BYU. They No. I get that.
Okay. I'm just saying, like Okay. I don't know. No. You're fine.
You're totally good. It's all good. But we are, now down into the sweet 16, which will be taking place tomorrow and Friday. And then there are games on Saturday and Sunday and Monday, and Tuesday and Wednesday. And then there's a little bit of a break, after Thursday where, the the actual finals come into play.
So, we'll get down to the final four by the time we get to April 5. April 6 will be I don't know what April 6 is. That's a weird game. But April 7 is the championship. So I'm gonna say this is here.
I don't know. Into it as much? Uh-uh. I don't know. And it's not ever that I've been into it because I I'm not really a sports person.
Alright. But the last couple of years, we've had some different brackets with the family or with work people, and I've been like, yeah. I'm into it. This year, I just can't get into it for some reason. I don't know.
Okay. So I don't know what's going on with my bracket, and I don't necessarily care. Okay. Well, the sweet sixteen is happening, tomorrow and Friday. And I won't be here to update brackets, so it's not gonna be until Monday that we actually kinda know what all happens and shakes out after, this weekend.
But it's gonna get a little bit crazy. This is where the madness part kicks in because you've got such a such a crazy pool of teams, where you start seeing these one seeds get knocked out. Like, if Duke gets knocked out, it changes so much. I did see, today so Warren Buffett, we talked about he his, contest. Yeah.
He had the perfect bracket contest, but he made a change to it this year. And a Berkshire Hathaway employee has snagged Warren Buffett's one million dollar jackpot way. Yeah. For the company's March Madness bracket challenge. The lucky winner who works at FlightSafety International correctly guessed 31 Look at that.
Of the thirty two first round games. This year, he tweaked the rules to make it easier for somebody to win. So along with the million dollar jackpot, Buffett also gave a hundred thousand dollars to 11 other employees who had nearly perfect first round brackets. So But who finally had to pay some money. Who won the Jimmy Buffett prize?
The Jimmy Buffett? Yeah. And they got the cheeseburger in paradise. Who won that prize? Couldn't tell you.
That's what I'll that's what prize I'll get. The the cheeseburger. Okay. Good good joke. Okay.
I was thinking about this the other day, and I wrote it in my notes to and I don't necessarily know how to bring it up. Well, here we are. Here we are. Okay. Let's just go for it.
Jump in. So I feel like the majority of people dislike meeting new people. Not that they dislike meeting new people, but that they they don't enjoy the small talk of meeting new people. Right? Okay.
So it's it's more small talk that people dislike rather than meeting new people. And so then I was thinking about it the other day going like, oh, I just there's always that awkward, weird, like, so what do you do? And how many kids do you have? Kinda like, where are you from? Where'd you go to school?
All that kind of stuff. Right? And All the get to know you part of getting to know someone. Right. But it's it's awkward and weird, and everybody dislikes it a little bit.
And then I was thinking I think I was watching a show or something where they said that you should introduce people. So if if I know somebody and I'm introducing you to somebody, I should introduce you to but I should also say interesting facts about each of you as I'm introducing you. For example Okay. I'm gonna use you and our daughter. Alright.
So if if you and Emery had not met met before, I would say, this is Josh. Josh really loves fly fishing and is a really good dude and knows how to push buttons on the radio. Oh, okay. Emery is always willing to try new things and gives the very best hugs. So I would Okay.
Introduce you that way. And I think the idea of that is you automatically find something to talk about. I get that. So if it's like, oh, you really like fly fishing. I have you been to the like, do you know what I'm saying?
Like, it would automatically whoever you're being introduced to, you already, as you're being introduced, have, like, a common ground or something to talk about. And I think I think I can appreciate that. It's a weird transaction. I don't necessarily think it is. It doesn't feel smooth.
And maybe it's just how you've presented it here. Yeah. It's probably just me. But it doesn't feel smooth. I don't feel smooth.
You know, if I was like, this is my wife, Chantel. She makes quilts. She likes to read. Like, it it feels weird. The presentation is just she cohosts the show with me for the past two and a half years.
See, but I don't think that's I think that's easier than being like, hey. This is Chantel. Oh, cool. Hi. Nice to meet you.
Because there's this weird thing when you're being introduced to somebody. You go, oh, hi. Because then there's nothing to talk about. I know nothing about this person. Rather than if you introduce me, that person that I'm being introduced to is like Yeah.
Oh, how do you enjoy quilting? I'd be more have you been quilting? Be more beneficial if you were like, this is Brian. He's the guy that I told you this story about. And I'd go, oh, I've heard about Brian.
Okay. Yeah. I mean You know, that might be You can choose whatever facts you want to be in the future. Dredge up the dirt like the the bad stories you told. I'd be like, oh, yeah.
I heard about that. Not not very smooth, Brian. Not very smooth. To go. Yeah.
Oh, you're the guy who makes the bad decisions. I don't know. I think who can't remember names, whatever it is. I think I think it's a better idea than just awkwardly standing there after you've been introduced to a stranger and being like, I don't know what to even talk to you about because I literally know squat about you. I get that.
Yeah. No. I think it's an interesting, that's a it's an interesting idea to to include a little bit of fact oid. It is interesting, especially for those of us who aren't natural conversationalists Okay. Fair.
Me. I am a natural conversationalist. Sure I'm not. Well, you fooled me. Well, that's because it's I've known you for twenty years.
It's easy with you. When I'm meeting strangers, I go, hey. I'm I don't think that's how I met you. You aren't going, hey. Yes.
I was at the very beginning. No. You did not. Was? Nope.
Here's what I do. Two there's two given things that I do because I'm a weirdo. I either get so nervous that I won't stop talking and I say things, then I just talk and talk and talk, or I get so nervous that I clam up and don't say anything at all. Those are two the two things that I do when I get uncomfortable. And that's what you need to know about me.
Why aren't you saying anything? Because neither of those people are who I met twenty some odd years ago. Twenty two, twenty three years ago. I think you were different though, Josh, because I was comfortable with you. You didn't know me.
Out the gate, though, I was comfortable with you. So figure that out. I don't know. Because it wasn't Hey. That wasn't you, and you also weren't overly talkative or under talkative.
It was just right. It was like warm porridge. What? You know, the three bears? No.
I can't put porridges. Why do you always compare me to weird stuff? What what's weird about that? Warm porridge? Yeah.
You're like warm porridge. You've never even had porridge. No. I have not. So you can But but it sounds just right.
You know? You're like you're like my warm porridge. Actually, that's kinda nice. That's what I'm saying. It's a compliment.
It sounds the way you've presented it is rather nice. Yeah. And now I feel happy. Well, good. Do you remember Napster?
Yeah. The, music download service. Yes. Uh-huh. That exhibited I exhibited.
It came about in 1999. Is that when it launched? That's when it launched. I feel like it, time didn't exist the same way back in 1999 as it does today. So it feels like it was older than that.
But It does feel a little bit older than that. But this was, like, the first thing where you could download music for free. First? I think so. Napster first?
Because there were there were so many was it LimeWire. LimeWire. Yes. And then BearShare, and there were so many. I okay.
Those were out there too, but Napster was more user friendly than the other ones, I think. Like, any layperson could use Napster. I wasn't, like, a tech savvy person, but I was like, Napster's so easy. And we had we did not have a great computer in 1999. It was our home PC.
And it was it was still dial up Internet, so you still it took forever. I think downloading one song took hours long, long, long time. Yeah. And then you got viruses, so that was cool. But you got to get music for free.
It was the best thing ever in 1999. Kazaa was another one. I never even heard of that. Yeah. So Bear Share Kazaa, there were a bunch of these.
LimeWire, we mentioned. Do you remember the first song that you downloaded? Wow. Mine was teenage dirtbag from Weezer. Weez?
From Weezer. Yeah. Weez. Yeah. No.
It wasn't that. I don't remember the first song. I loved it so much. Okay. It just sold.
You may be wondering. I I didn't even know it was still around. Yeah. It is? It is.
It's still around. It's been sold a couple of different times. Best Buy apparently bought it for a short time. Weird. Okay.
Yeah. Best Buy bought it in 02/2008. I don't know what they did with it, but it has now been sold to a Infinite Reality is the name of the company. It's an interactive music platform. So, basically, virtual concerts.
They they bought it for $207,000,000. So the original guy sold it a long time ago. How much did he sell it for? I don't know. The the original owner, Sean Parker, that's his name.
Sean Parker how much did he sell? Best Buy bought it in 02/2008, but I don't know how much Four. I was trying to find that information out. Yeah. There's this is this is real time research.
One, crazy that it's still around. Two, crazy that it's worth $207,000,000. Yeah. That is wild. That's really, really crazy.
So Napster So here's the the infinite reality is the the virtual concerts. That's the company that has just bought it. So you'll buy tickets like normal, and then you'll use a VR headset to watch your artist perform in a more intimate setting. Alright. That's interesting.
I bet I'll still get crappy seats. What? Yeah. Yeah. Because, you know, premier pricing or whatever they call it Yeah.
Where where as demand goes up, you pay more. It says that you'll even be able to buy merch in their alternate reality situation, and then they'll probably just flip it to you. But their thing is, imagine stepping into a virtual venue to watch an exclusive show with friends or chat with your favorite artist in their own virtual hangout. Yeah. Interesting.
I see. Yeah. Alright. Well, I I I didn't know Napster was even still around. So there's that.
Are we bringing back Myspace? Because Myspace still exists too. No. And I thought I heard some news about Myspace trying to make a comeback, but, just looking is trying to make a comeback. Yeah.
No. Sure. It's still up. I'm on myspace.com right now. MySpace.
Yeah. It still exists. This is not your space. This is mine. Try to log in.
Let's see if I can log in to it. I tried to do that not too long ago, and it didn't, it didn't I couldn't get in. So they either changed my password or deleted my account. I'm in. You are?
I'm in my old Myspace. Just that easy? Yeah. I'm in it. Radio DJ.
This is my bio. Okay. Beard grower. Save. Maker of of web things.
Save. Yeah. Weird. I'm in. I just like to hear.
I'm in. I've I've hacked back into my Myspace. God. I don't even remember what email I would have used. I'm not gonna try and get back into mine, but see if you can find some good stuff in your Myspace, Josh.
Nothing yet. Nothing yet. But I'm in. So now I'm gonna try and get back in. I'm a hack into Napster real quick, and then I'll see if I can get Napster working again and get a bunch of viruses.
That's what I'm working on. Yes. Listen to this. Okay. I'm all ears.
What do we got? What's up? This is great? This is great. K.
There is a town in Switzerland who they're letting doctors prescribe trips to art museums to help with stress. Let's go. They're also they're so you get in for free with the doctor's note. Okay. So if you wanna go to an art museum, you're like, I'm feeling stressed, doctor.
And the doctor's like, let's write you a prescription. Here's theater tickets. Here I I know. Alright. Doesn't that sound awesome?
I need a way to decompress, doctor. Yeah. Oh, fantastic. Perfect. Let's get you to that park music.
Here is a doctor's note for a fishing trip. Yes. Exactly. Sweet. Thank you, doc.
And you turn it into your boss, and your boss like, well, you got a doctor's note. I guess So I guess you gotta go fishing. Hell, that's it's prescription. So Right. It's excused by your doctor.
Brilliant. Does that work in, this is in Switzerland. Do you think that works here? You think if I if I took a doctor's note to to our boss and I said, doctor says I gotta go fishing? It should.
My hands are tied. I gotta go should. I would much rather take a day of rest and relaxation than an antidepressant Sure. Ill. Doesn't that sound amazing?
I gotta go to the woods. Yeah. Whoops. It's for stress. Right.
It's for stress. It's job stress. I gotta go to the woods. Just for a day. How about you just stay in the woods?
Yeah. Thank you. Thank you. Boss. And don't come back.
No. Just keep paying me. Right. I'll be working remotely from the woods. We could do the show in the woods.
Okay. We absolutely could. This show, we'll take you 97 from the woods. Uh-huh. Or from the beach, if we wanna decide.
Dirt. Listen. We can take it on the road. I see. Roadshow.
Let's do that. That's the best idea we've ever had. It's a traveling morning show. Yeah. Good morning.
Prah? We are in Oregon. Where in the world? Standing next to In the world. Haystack Rock.
And Chantel. Right. We should probably get our own song. We will. That was just a rough draft.
It was plagiarism. We're gonna need our own thing. I mean, you look. You can do it in the name of parody, but I don't know if that's if that's where you were at. No.
I was just totally plagiarizing. Right. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah.
Yeah. I think we'd get we'd get a strike from Carmen San diego herself. She'd be like, listen up, gumshoes. Did she say that? Oh, all the time.
Oh. Yeah. All the detectives, sleuths in gumshoes. Did you not watch the show? Mm-mm.
Oh, it was a fantastic show. It was like a game show. Oh. Oh. That's what we could do, though.
A game show? No. Just a roadshow. Just a roadshow. Right.
Taking the show on the road. I love that idea. Let's let's present that to our boss today. Yeah. Alright.
I know one who's automatically gonna say no, but the other boss, I don't know what he'll say. So let's let's skip the one boss who's gonna say no. Oh, you're gonna go right over somebody's head. Yeah. Yeah.
That always goes well. Yeah. No. That doesn't have a trickle down effect at all. Just go nuts.
Morning show with donuts. We're here Yes. At a donut shop Yes. Having donuts. Good morning.
Guess where we are. Guess where we are and win a donut. Exactly. Okay. Just like that.
Here we are with eggs. Okay. Where are we? Having eggs. Oh, I love this idea.
Roadshow. Now do we travel the the night before and we wake up in the place? We'd have to. Yeah. I don't wanna wake up early to travel.
Correct. Yeah. We need a driver because we're gonna wanna sleep, so somebody's gonna have to drive us. So we're gonna need a tour bus. And Bus?
Yeah. Or just a motor home? Oh, motor home would be fine. We get away with a motor home. Yeah.
That'd be fine. Yeah. Because then we can have a nicer bed. In a motor home? Yeah.
Then a tour bus? Yeah. The back of a tour bus has a big bed. Does it? Sure.
Usually. If you're if you're, you know, a big star, it depends on the on the tour bus. I thought they would just have bunks. Well, so if they have bunks, then the back is usually like a dining area with a big table. But if you if you're, like, a solo artist, that big back area is one room.
Uh-huh. Uh-huh. Big bed. So or bunks. I don't know.
Whatever you prefer. Okay. Let's start working on the theme song. That's where we're gonna start? That's where we're gonna start, and then we are gonna present it to our boss, the one that's gonna say yes.
We're we're bypassing one, so we can really get the maximum effect of fallout. Good. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah.
Good. I like this. Nobody tell the one boss. Right. The no boss.
Don't tell the no boss. Go tell the yes boss. Exactly. It. Okay.
Alright. I don't know if you're on the same algorithms that I'm on, but a lot of, influencers that I'm watching are making a lot of sourdough. There's a lot There is a lot of sourdough happening right now. Yeah. It's kind of taken over the Internet over the past couple of months, I would say.
Oh, they would also say. And I don't know why. Like, I you know, I'm all for it. Baked bread. Bring me warm sourdough wrapped in a towel.
It's delicious. I'm not going to partake in the making of it, but I will partake in the eating. If you have so much sourdough, you don't know what to do with it. Our friend, Javi, is, really into sourdough. He's had a start for a lot of years.
He feeds it. He takes care of it. Yes. He's he's, you know, really into it, and he makes some great sourdough bread. Delicious.
Yeah. Javi, I don't know if you listen to the show. As a friend, you should. And and also as a friend, I'm out of sourdough. Yeah.
So just just pointing that out. Yeah. Just so you know. Right now, I'm in sour don't, and it's sad. I wanna be in sour duh.
Duwah. Okay. Listen. I just read that here's the part that I think is amazing. I can barely keep my life together.
I feel like my life is out of control. And then there's all these people that are like, here's my starter and my sourdough. And I'm like, I can't even I can barely keep my kids alive. You want me to keep this sourdough alive? Yeah.
In a little jar next to next to the sink. I just can barely keep the things alive as is. I think it would be a fun challenge for you to try and keep a sourdough No. I or a kombucha. I know exactly what's gonna happen.
I'm gonna get so frustrated, and then I'm just gonna throw it out. I think I would do really well for the first maybe week. And then I'd be like think you give yourself a week? Yes. I do.
Okay. And then I'd say, I I don't know what's going on with this thing. I hate it. I'm frustrated. Throw it out.
Absolutely. That's what I do. Yeah. Okay. You know it's true.
I do know it's true. I I was surprised you gave yourself seven days. Okay. There is an actual place called a sourdough hotel. What is this?
This is a place where people can stow store their sourdough starter if they're going on vacation and don't have time to maintain it. Then someone will take care of it for them? Yep. Somebody at the hotel will take care of feeding and maintaining the starter, making sure that it stays alive and healthy. Do you trust someone?
I mean I don't know. People do, like, board their pets when they leave town, and you gotta be trusting in people to take care of a member of your family. So I could see here where people are like, listen. I need a background of, of all of your experience with sourdough, starters. And, also, I'm gonna need to sample some of your own sourdough to make sure that you know what you're doing.
So please go ahead and make me a loaf. Give me three references. That's right. I'm gonna need three reference loaves, and I wanna hear from, several other sourdough enthusiasts, thoozies Thoozies? That, that that have used your service.
Yeah. I maybe just wanna take an empty container there and say, I don't know what happened. Like, can you just help me? And then they could just start it for me. Uh-huh.
And then I could be like, okay. Great. Is it hard to start a sourdough? I have no idea. I I'm like, I don't know.
I don't know anything about it. The second you start looking into it, you're gonna become a sourdough girl. So I'm just telling you. I look at me. Be prepared.
Look at me. You've known me for to me. You've known me for a very long time. Listen to me. You're gonna want a basket.
You're gonna want tools to carve cute little designs in them. It's a whole thing. Look at me. Do you think that that's what's gonna happen? You don't know me at all if you think that's what's gonna happen.
If I looked at it. Absolutely. You would, for sure. You and me are not the same person. Be at the kitchen store buying all the tools and things, and then I'd be, we would have a starter on the counter.
And then I'd be looking for a hotel to have somebody take care of it. Absolutely would. Okay. It's not super hard, but it does some take some patience and consistency. Yeah.
Neither of which I have. Patience or consistency? Yeah. Yeah. Okay.
You do. Sure. You have both patience and consistency. I feel like I walk in, and you would be shaking the starter in the jar just to make it fall down. Yeah.
I'd be like, quit it. It's supposed to be puffy like that. You'd be like, no. Listen to the sound it makes when you peel it from the sides. Have you heard it?
Have you Yes. It's a pretty satisfying noise when you feed it, and it goes And then you watch it kind of, like, rise. Yeah. The tricky part is maintaining a regular feeding schedule, but once it's established, it's pretty low maintenance. I I struggle taking my pills every day.
That's what they they said that about a dog too. Patience and consistency. That's what you mean for a dog. A regular feeding schedule. But once it's established, it's pretty low maintenance.
No. A dog is not low maintenance. I think a sourdough is the same. As a dog? Yeah.
You think it's gonna follow you around the house, make you, like, give it attention? No. But I do think it's the second I know Here's the here's the other thing, though. Dog dog doesn't equal bread. True.
This equals bread. Yeah. I don't I don't have patience or consistency. Alright. I have a 15 year old.
We have a 15 year old. Yes. We collectively have a 15 year old dog. Yes. Difficult to embarrass her.
It's not. Nope. Sometimes I do it intentionally. Sometimes I do it unintentionally. Most times, I would say it's unintentional.
Most times, it's unintentional. But when those unintentional embarrassing moments happen, boy, do I live in it. Yeah? I like to just I like to turn the screws once you once you get it in there. Yeah.
Yes. I get it. I get it. We I took her out. We were gonna go get some, dessert the other day.
And so I was driving through the drive thru to get a little quick dessert. And Where was I? I don't know. It's fine. We were bringing it to you.
Like, you also Did I have treat? Yes. Oh, okay. Irrelevant. Alright.
Okay. So as we go to pay you know how usually at a drive through, there's two windows. And, typically, you're supposed to pay at the first window. And then you pick up your food at the second window. Okay.
Yeah. Unless you did, like, a mobile app thing, and then you drive to the second window. Right. Yeah. Sometimes there's nobody at that first window, and then you just keep driving to the second window.
Okay. I've had that happen for sure. Okay. So Did they tell you over the speaker that you go to? Sometimes they don't say that.
Okay. So I drive past the first window. There's nobody there. And so I go, okay. Did you stop?
No. I just kept let me tell the story, homie. I have questions. Just slow down. I kept driving because I went but I was going slow.
Uh-huh. And I said, oh, there's nobody I think I'll pay at the second window. And then I got a little bit past the window and went, I don't think I'm supposed to pay. And then I saw somebody walking towards me, and I went, oh, so I stopped. But I was I mean, the window was, like, at my pass my backseat window.
I see. So you were you were a a little bit ahead of the window. Yeah. Okay? And every immediately, completely embarrassed.
Ah. She puts her hand on her face. She looks out the window. She's like, I'm not I'm not here for this. I'm gonna do everything to avoid this awkward exchange.
I'm like, what's the problem? I can still pay. Yeah. And So you slap it in reverse, and you back up. I actually didn't because there was a car behind me.
So I couldn't How close? Close enough that I couldn't just back up. But I was close enough to the window that I could roll down my window and pay. I just had to reach a little bit. It was fine.
No big deal. Awkwardly backwards? Yeah. Yeah. Just like this.
Not backwards. Just like a kitty corner. Uh-huh. It was fine. And I was kinda giggling.
I was like, oh, sorry. Here's my money. Yeah. I told him that he went past his window. Yeah.
He was like, oh, it's a fine. And he kinda chuckled. Like, he didn't care. Uh-huh. But Emery, whoo.
That was the worst thing that happened to her that day. How could you? I mean, look. If you would have gone all the way up the second window, couldn't you just say there was nobody at that window? Can I pay here?
I'm sure they can make your payment at the second window. Yeah. But there was somebody coming Okay. From that first window, so I just stopped and paid. It was no big deal.
But Alright. Sounds like it was a big deal. For Emery, it was an absolutely big deal. Yeah. So I like to bring that up now.
Remember when I drove past that window, and she goes, ugh. Ugh. I'm trying to forget. Quit doing so many embarrassing things, Kento. Just stop being so embarrassing all the time.
Do something regular. No. Oh, that's not how I live my life. One of my two of my favorite things to do is to make lists and rate stuff. I know this very well.
I like this. This is definitely what you do. Why? I don't know. Why do I like to do that stuff?
You like categorizing things do. Into a list. Yeah. What I find interesting is, like, when it comes to a grocery list, you could get so much more detailed, but you kinda just write down stuff. No.
No. No. It depends because I usually write stuff down by recipe. Yeah. And then I'll arrange it in produce, meat, or order of grocery store.
Like, then like, because I haven't seen your list broken down that way. I just did that the other day when you went to the grocery store. Yeah. It was broken down that way. Cool.
Cool for you. I don't like to go to the grocery store, and so I'd like to get in and out as quickly as possible. So if I can break it down where it is in the store, then I go, great. Let's go this way and this way and this way. Sure.
Then we're out. You're the one that detracts when we go to the grocery store. Seen all the new things they put out on the shelves? Mhmm. I have because you've showed me.
Yeah. And if we didn't meander and dilly dally through the aisles, how would you see all the new stuff that they came out with? Like my old stuff. Right. But sometimes there's new stuff.
You might go, I didn't know that was there. That might make a good addition to this recipe. Okay. How are you gonna know? So I also like to put things in order as far as, like, this is the best, and this is my like, oatmeal.
We did an oatmeal rating system the other day. You like to rate things. I do like to rate things. Again, I don't know why. I just That's just a thing about me.
Important in my brain. Sure. So I there is a show that we like to watch, and our friends also like to watch. We have some friends, and we talk about the show. Friends?
We do. Wow. For now. Until the next five minutes. Here we go.
So I there are, I think, eighteen seasons of this show Yes. And different casts on each show. Correct. And so I And the nineteenth season's kicking off, like, next month. Yeah.
Yeah. So I made I found online a list of the characters or the there's comedians Yeah. In the show. So there's a list of comedians of each season. And I sat down one day, and I was like, I'm gonna rate this just because I want to.
Alright. So I did. And then I gave it to my friend last night. I gave her a towel. Her a homework assignment.
I did give her a she's a teacher. She's on spring break. I said, no. You need something to do. Here.
Have homework. Here. Have homework. So I gave her the task of rating her seasons, her favorite, and then she has to tell me which cast member is her favorite in each season. Gotcha.
Need to do this too. I haven't seen them all. I haven't seen them all either. There's actually a couple seasons that I have not seen. I've only seen probably a handful of seasons out of the eighteen.
And some of them, I forgot. Some of them, I was like, I don't think I've seen this. And so I would go and watch an episode and be like, oh, yeah. I remember these ones. And so then I'd pick my favorite comedian from that scene.
I I see so many highlight reels in shorts and reels and TikTok and everything from the show that I don't know if I've actually seen the whole episode, if I've only seen that challenge, Correct. But I recognize those people. So that's a hard that's a hard one. Like, I couldn't tell you who won all eighteen seasons of the show. That's not necessary to know who won, but I do wanna give you that challenge too because I wanna know who your favorite comedian is.
I can tell you who my favorites are from the seasons that I've seen. Okay. That's easy. Yeah. Hooray.
Let's do it. Okay. You also have the challenge. You have Great stuff. You're gonna be laid up in the next couple of days with your wisdom teeth.
So you've got challenges. I I Rate stuff. That's right. I made a name for it. Rate stuff.
It's called rate stuff. It's you really went out on a limb with the name. Yeah. Just have to get excited about it. Rate stuff.
Hem. Can I help you with something? Yeah. Would you rather this or that? Oh, would you rather it's a fun one today.
Would you rather this one has to do with phone calls. Spit it out, ma'am. Would you rather this or that? Would you rather answer every phone call with boo you No. Or hang up every phone call with ain't no thang.
Boo you, Ain't no thang. No one no one calls me anyway. So But if they did I would end the conversation with ain't no thang. I want for the entire day today. No one calls me.
I'm gonna call you specifically if you're not. Yes. I will. I'll call you right now. You can't.
Why can't I? Because we're busy. Okay. K. You have to answer every phone call today.
Yes. I'm not answering every phone call with booyah. No. No. Hang hang up.
With ain't no thing. Sorry. That's what I meant. Every phone call. That includes ones you take here at work.
No one calls me. Somebody call Josh. No. Ain't no thing. You have to end it that way.
I know. Okay. It ain't no thing. But you have to get a little attitude with it. Ain't no thing?
Ain't no thing. Yeah. Okay. Booyah. What are you doing?
I'm in a booyah. Yeah. You are all day. Booyah. Part of your other job is to answer phones.
So good luck. I'll just do it nicely. Booyah. And then say the name of the business. Yeah.
That's not happening. You aren't gonna do that. I can. You will yes. You can.
Lose my job. Then your challenge will be failed. You won't lose your job for answering the phone boo y'all. That will be weird. Yeah.
Well, this was your idea. I'm gonna alright. I will take the end every call. Already picked. Alright.
Jeez. Louise, you're a stickler for rules. You guys you take the fun out of everything. I do not. Man, what a what a deflated little thing you did to me.
I'm sorry. So I'm just gonna be no fun in the morning. Just get back warm porridge. Nope. Cold, hard concrete oatmeal.
It was warm once, and now the spoon is stuck. That's me. No fun. Josh, come back. I'm sorry.
Ain't no thanks. Do you know that today you get to make up your own holiday? I would like a, take a break from work holiday. I don't think that's how it works. I like where your head's at, and it's kinda been there all day.
It kinda has. I like, it's been a thread running through, the show today. But today is make up your own holiday day. So you just get to make one up and celebrate it on March 26. What holiday would you make up?
I haven't decided. I would also like, Chantel day. Oh. So What what happens on Chantel day? Chantel just gets to do whatever she wants.
But not work. But not every Chantel. Anybody named Chantel gets to this day. Aw. Yeah.
So they get to do whatever they want. So if they and nobody gets to complain. Does it have to be spelled a certain way? No. Does it have to be pronounced a certain way?
Because you're Chantel, not Chantelle Right. Or Chantal. You're just Chantel, not just. That sounds mean. But you've said, like, I'm not fancy enough to be a Chantelle.
Right. That is a fancy version of Chantel. Chantel. Chantel. Right.
Right. So you're a Chantel, and you feel like on Chantel Day, March twenty sixth twenty twenty five Yeah. That you should be able to do whatever you want. Do whatever we want. What does that love it.
What does that mean? Oh, yeah. It you wanna do? I go home, read a book in the sunshine, take a nap. Yeah?
Yeah. Do a little bit of crafting. Okay. Take another nap, eat some snacks. Two naps and snacks?
Two naps and a snack. Wow. What a day. I know. Chantel day is pretty good.
Chantel day is the best. Maybe somebody could bring me some flowers. Now now it there's gifts involved. Only if you want to. No.
That's not how it works. You can't stay. Feel like when you say hold on. We'll get to you can't stay in just a second. I feel like when you say, you could bring a gift if you want, means bring a gift.
And then when you say, but you can't stay, means also I want to know you're around, but also don't be around, which makes no sense. Yeah. It makes all of the sense. No. It makes no sense.
Yeah. No? Not, yeah, anything. It makes no sense when you're like, I'm lonely and bored, but also I wanna be alone. So Yeah.
You make no sense. No. No. No. It's it does make sense.
I'm like, I want you there around. No. But I don't want you around. Yeah. Okay.
Yeah. You're right. It makes sense. Makes no sense. I think there's women out there who would understand.
No. I know there are. I'm just telling you as as a cultural thing, it makes no sense. It doesn't make sense. It makes sense to me.
