Yeah. You're right. You're right. Josh wants the new baby shoes for adults. They're super cool.

That I disagree. They look like Nickelodeon. I disagree. The midlife beard has been explained? Sort of.

It still is just a beard on a midlife person. Hold your head up. It's fine. You've seen it. It's difficult transitioning from having one kid to two.

Yeah. Or four or 10. Oi. Our kids are much, much cooler than us. Don't tell them we told you that.

Yeah. But, like, right out the gate there. I know. Like, what's the deal? I don't know.

Frizzin'. Frizzin'. Frizzin'. Frizzin' gives me the goosebumps. Yeah.

That's what it that's what it does. Pimples. Uh-huh. Remember talking to your friend's parents when you called them? Yeah.

Hey. Hey. Is Chantel available? Who's this? Available?

Yeah. Did you say available? Yeah. No. You'd say, is Chantel there?

No. I'd say, is Chantel available? Available? Yeah. Who says that?

Me. What do you what's wrong with that? There's nothing wrong with that. It's hard to decide what to eat for lunch. I know.

What do you want for lunch? I don't know. I got about thirty minutes. A mean chicken and a dad joke. Yeah.

It's a good dad joke too. It was quick. You were quick at it. And the songs that define our lives. Yeah.

Yeah. We know yours. Sing mine. Wait. Yeah.

That's it. That'll do. That's fine. We are Josh and Chantel. This is wake up classy 97, the podcast.

Hope you enjoyed today's show. Enjoy. Sup? It's the morning. It is the morning.

And we're here. And it's snowing. And that happened. I was looking at the, weather forecast. It says, pretty much there'll be scattered snow showers throughout the whole day.

Some more around ten and eleven, kind of a snow mix rain around one, more snow at two. I was gonna complain about it, but yesterday, we talked about how you shouldn't complain first thing in the morning because that sets your that sets your mood for the whole rest of the day. So This is true. Wow. Look, we need all this Wow.

We need all this moisture. Yeah. Wow. And then I was looking ahead, and I saw that we still have, I don't know, a series of snowstorms over the next week or so. Hooray.

Yeah. I love snow. One more chance to build a snowman. Yay. Yeah.

And, also, yay. You're selling it, so that's good. You're really making it sound like you are excited. I am excited. Mhmm.

I love the snow. I can hear it. It's fun. I love walking in it. Uh-huh.

And I love driving in it. Okay. And I love being cold. Yeah. Snow.

You have a saying. What is my saying? In the winter when you say, I'll never be warm again. And then you have a saying in the summer when it's hot that is, I'll never be cool again. No.

Yeah? I never say that. Yeah? First of all, one, I'm always gonna be cool. Not like that.

Second of all, I don't think I've ever said I'll never be cool again. I don't think I've ever said that. You have a different word. Oh. You do.

In the heat of late July and August and early September when, we don't have air conditioning and it's hot and everywhere is 80, and then you go, ugh, it's so hot. I'll never be cold again like that. Yeah. I might have said that. Yeah.

Yeah. You did. Yeah. Mhmm. You know me.

I do. You don't listen to things I say. I I hear everything. The point of the matter is I'll never be warm again. Right.

Right now. I just bought a new shirt. Yeah. And it's got it's short sleeves. Uh-huh.

And I've had my arms go bare for three months because it's so cold. Are they bare now? They're bare because you know why? This shirt this new shirt that I have has puffy sleeves. Yes.

It does. And I didn't want it to be tampered down by a sweater. Yeah. It's a cute shirt. Thank you.

It is a cute shirt. So now I'm just worried that I'm gonna be my arms are gonna be cold. They might. I wore a sweater over my over my button up shirt because I felt like, it wasn't gonna be warm enough, so I wore a sweater. On the way out the door, I said, should I just grab a sweater just for I used to keep a sweater at the both jobs that I have.

That's correct. I think I took them home to wash them, and now I have no sweaters that either Because you could even just throw it over your shoulders. You wouldn't have to put your arms in the sleeves. No. That's dumb.

I'm I'm saying that might be a way to do that. I'll go grab my my blanket out of my truck. You could do that. No. I'm not cold right now.

Oh, I was confused No. By the fact that when you said you had bare arms, they were cold. No. No. No.

Not right now. It gets pretty warm in the studio. When we shut the door and we're we got our hot breath What? Talking all over. It's not why.

It gets a little warm. It's because there's a furnace in the building that keeps the heat blowing. And also our hot breath. And there's a vent right above your head. And also hot breath.

No. Not it has nothing to do with that. Not a thing. Well, good morning. It's Josh and Chantel.

We're in the studio. If you need us, (208) 525-9797. The snow is here. It's fun. Yeah.

Be careful out there. We're gonna go back in time a little bit. What when? Where are you going? When did we go?

Back a hundred and twenty nine years Alright. In eighteen ninety six K. On the streets of Detroit. Alright. Today, there was a man named Charles Brady King, and he drove the very first car down the streets of Detroit.

Oh, wow. He saw at the Chicago World's Fair Uh-huh. Saw a self propelled carriage designed and built by a man. And so he was like, oh, I think I can do that. And so he built and test drove his very own self propelled carriage.

Right. I'm looking at a picture of it. Have you seen a picture of it? I have. Okay.

He is. We got four wheels. Yes. We've got two axles. Yes.

A bit of a chassis here that's interesting. And then a wooden box with a wooden box in it with a little tractor seat looking chair. And, and that's about it. Well, the picture I have, there's two dudes on it. There are.

There are two dudes sitting there. It it'll carry two. He's like, hey, bud. Wanna go for a ride? And his friend was like, absolutely, I do.

Yeah. And it doesn't have a steering wheel. It has what looks like a steering stick, that you would you would turn left or right to, steer the front wheels. Uh-huh. Yeah.

It's very minimal. He reached speeds up to five miles per hour. Woah. I know. What was it powered by?

I don't know. I don't know. I'm a I gotta figure that out. But this is the best part. It broke down on a busy street.

Oh, no. Know necessarily what happened if the axle broke or he hit a rock or something. His buddy fell out. People got upset and got mad at him, and one person is known to have yelled, get a horse. That sounds that that checks out.

That checks out. Now as I'm looking at this, and then I realized that I drove today in the snow, and this carriage only goes five miles per hour, and it's open to the heirs. Yeah. I'm real thankful and grateful for a car with a roof and A heater. Gas Yeah.

Powered engine and a heater and heated seats, and it's lovely. I'm glad I don't have to drive a self prepared self self propelled Yeah. Carriage. Yeah. So you're saying it was on this day, in 1893?

Eighteen '90 '6. Or '18. Okay. Oh, he saw it. It took him three years to develop it.

Eighteen ninety three is when Chicago's World, Fair was. Correct. So it took him a little while to figure out how to develop that thing. It's really interesting. I wanna know, how it was powered.

I'm real curious about that. You can't find any information? No. It says it was gasoline powered. He sold this had a little engine.

Oh, really? It had to have. He it says this carriage was on the streets and sold before Henry Ford's quadricycle Mhmm. Which this gentleman, Brady what's his name? Charles Brady King Uh-huh.

Helped Ford build. Well, how about that? Detroit. Motor City. Yeah?

Get a horse. Hey. Get a horse. Get out the way. That's that's the early you can't park that there, which is what you yell at people stranded on the road now.

I wonder if he was only going five miles per hour. That was his max speed. I wonder if a horse could make you go faster. Yes. A horse can go faster than five miles per hour.

That much. But I'm wondering if you're in a carriage, what was this, like, a typical speed for a horse carriage? Oh. I'm just curious about that. It couldn't have been much more.

Especially if you have people inside, you're not gonna wanna go very fast. And there's gonna be ruts and juts in the road. Right. The top speed of a horse drawn carriage was typically between four and twelve miles per hour. Woah.

Mhmm. Yep. 12 miles. I can go 12 miles for an hour in this hog. Alright.

Get a horse. So, some good news Yeah. To get this going. Maggie Goodman is good news today. She is a 34 year old middle school teacher in Long Island, New York.

She, late last year, learned that a fellow middle school teacher that she barely knew named Thomas Coveney, was in dire need of a kidney transplant. And when she heard about it, things just sort of seemed to click into place for her. And, she was able to be a kidney donor, and she considers the donation a bucket list item. Okay. Yeah.

She said, I believe in the beauty of life, And she offered to help, which was a huge relief for Thomas, a 47 year old father of a young girl. He faced the possibility of ongoing dialysis and even death. Both, Maggie and Thomas are recovering from a successful surgery, and both will be back to full strength before the end of the school year. Thomas is, of course, grateful for the gift, that Maggie gave him. He said it saved my family, and I continue to work.

I can continue to work. And Maggie is thrilled that she was able to help somebody in need. She said, I do not regret it. She said, if I could donate a second one, I would, which is really, really amazing. Yeah.

And she just said, really, I mean, she was just like, I I it's a bucket list item. I would love to be able to help. It's something I've always wanted to to be able to do. This opportunity found me, and it all just worked. It worked.

We matched. It's good. Pretty incredible. I know. Right?

So Maggie Maggie is the bomb. Last name, Goodman. I mean woman. Well, yeah. But you know good woman.

She got good in there. That's what I'm saying. Maggie. You did good. That's nice.

Way to help somebody. That's amazing. Yeah. Pretty incredible. And good news to get you going.

Have you heard of monopoly? Never. I've never played The board game? I've never played many, many games. Really?

You've never heard of it? You used to play didn't you used to play with a friend Yeah. Over Over the phone. Me and my buddy Sean. We had He really knew how to party.

A very long running game of Monopoly. I don't know that we ever finished. I think we probably just quit playing. I don't think anybody's ever finished monopoly. I think everybody just finishes because they get so sick of it.

Yeah. And then they turn the table upside down out of anger. I'm gonna flip this table. That's exactly right. There is a new version.

It's called app banking. Oh, so it's mobile? It makes the game more digital. You don't have anything to say about that? No.

I know it's gonna be app based. Okay. So the board game elements are mostly the same. They've got a few kid friendly tweaks. So park place and boardwalk have been switched to rocket launch pad and the moon.

Oh, interesting. And other properties include a chocolate factory, a VR roller coaster, and a dinosaur park. Okay. I mean, look. I Monopoly is an old game.

Wait. They're trying to do what they can. They are. They're trying to keep it fresh. Right.

The main difference is that there's no banker and no physical money. Instead, there's an app that processes all the transactions. So it's gonna be app based. Hasbro, the company that makes this game, says it's great for speeding up the game, so it won't last as long as it typically does. So and they're and they think this is gonna make it more accessible to younger players, and it'll also make it harder to cheat.

Okay. Naturally, there's some complaints. Look. I don't wanna have to, I I say this knowing that there are some games I've had to put an app on my phone in order to play. Yeah.

But I don't care for it. Like, Emery and I do that escape game. Uh-huh. And and you have to have the app because the app works as your timer and all of those, like, need clues or whatever. Something?

Yeah. So, so that sort of I get, but introducing this into an old game that people like, Monopoly's just gotta do whatever they can to stay relevant. Well and so the one of the complaints is that parents are like, this is not gonna teach my kid about math, which I That's not what the purpose of monopoly is. Yeah. I I Anyway Listen.

I've played a game of monopoly or two. It never really taught me much about counting money. Well, and one person's usually the banker. Exactly. And it's usually the person who enjoys it.

You never go like, oh, you get to learn math today, so you're the banker. Whoopie. Yeah. Oh, great. Thanks.

Also, if you still have your old games, like, you can still play them old school. And there's a thousand variations of Monopoly. Correct. It'll pick a theme. If there's a Monopoly game for it.

Yep. So you can still get those. You don't have to buy this new version. No. People just like to complain.

What? First thing in the morning. I'm not. Rise and complain. Yeah.

I think it's interesting. I think they're trying very hard to stay relevant, but I also That's what it feels like. I don't need more monopoly. I've played the game. I I it doesn't matter if you change the properties or introduce digital money or whatever.

You you all of a sudden change all the little figurines on the board. You add a cell phone to it. Like, I've done a billion different things. To do that. Like, I just okay.

Great. We got rid of the still Monopoly. Still Monopoly. And End of the day, it's still Monopoly. And it is it's a fine game.

Sure. Sure. Sure. I played it a lot. I don't know why we picked Monopoly.

We could have picked anything. I played it a time or two, but I think it's been I think the last time we played a game of Monopoly was, well, I I wanna say Beck was, like, maybe eight years old. I I couldn't tell you. Now. Because we started getting into, like, we found an old version of risk, and so we started playing risk a bunch.

Okay. And then we started getting into card games. So we're playing Canasta. We're playing all kinds of stuff. Yeah.

We have here's the thing. We have board games galore in our house, and they're fun. Yeah. We need to play more of them. Last weekend, when I was, when I was at the snow cave thing, I played a new board game.

What's it called? We're doomed. And? Ton of fun. Oh, you're not gonna play too much.

Yeah. It's a great game. And that's all I have to say about that. It's a it's a good game. It it it works in, you have fifteen minutes to play the game.

It has a big fifteen minute timer, big sand timer that that runs for fifteen minutes. When your fifteen minutes is up, your game's over. Oh. So it's it's cool. And it's a collective game, but also, there's sabotage.

It's a good one. You saboteur. Well, I didn't, but one of the guys in the group sure did. Oh. Yeah.

Mhmm. Well, that sounds fun, Josh. It's a fun game. Now you bring that up. Well, sure.

Now when we're talking about board game, was there a better time? When I said, hey. What'd you do? And you said, not much. Yeah.

That might have been something to say. Well, okay. Played a really fun new board game. Yeah. You did?

Tell me about it. I just did. Four days later. Well, it just came up. Oh, jeez.

We ate good food. I told you all about that. We had cobbler. I told you about that. The board game didn't come up until just now.

I know. Now I know. Cool. I'll tell you the other cool stuff that happened later when it comes up. Alright.

Okay. We should get that game. It's good, though. Okay. Okay.

Okay. You and I got some talking to do because I know you love fashion, and I found the thing we need. You know me. So I just sent you so into fashion. I just sent you the thing you need to Google image search.

Okay. And, so there's this, this artist slash designer called Mischief, and he has made, you remember those, rubber boots that look like they're from a cartoon? They're like red, boots that Emery showed us a while ago. Yeah. Just a couple years ago.

Yeah. So this is the guy, Mischief. And he makes, he makes all kinds of things, including what are called the Superbaby. And this is, this is a fashion choice because you know how, kids' shoes look super cute. And you go, look at those.

They they look adorable. And then they you put them on a on a baby, and then the baby looks like their feet are huge Yeah. On their So they made super baby shoes for adults. Yeah. I see them.

So there's three styles. You've got the Olivia, which is the the ladies one, the little pink one there. It's very cute if you like that. I'm really into, the one with all this, like it looks like Nickelodeon Okay. Is what it looks like.

I thought you were gonna be into the black and white one. Just the white one with the red tongue? I don't see a black and white one. There's only three styles. No.

I see this one. This is a it's a wavy. It's a wavy baby. I don't see that one. Oh, you're not looking at the right one.

Did you look at what I sent you? Yes. Okay. It got brought up. They're the first three images.

It's by him. Weird. I know. Wavy. It's a wavy shoe.

Oh. I don't even think the bottom is flat. It's a wavy bottom. Saw that on the store because I was looking around to see how much these things cost, but we'll get to that in a minute. Okay.

But do you like the Nintendo or the the Nickelodeon look looking one? Nope. I don't like these shoes at all. You wouldn't wear the, the Olivia? No.

It's did you see what they look like on feet? Yeah. They're super cute. It's not They look like adults wearing baby shoes. They do.

They really do. And if this is your thing, go for it. This is not my thing. I would wear the the Nickelodeon looking. Seriously?

I would absolutely wear the Nickelodeon looking shoes. If they didn't cost, guess. $450. Nah. But close.

$250. This one says $4.50. They're I can buy them for $234 from his website right now. Oh, I'll buy it from there because this place is more expensive. Yeah.

Because they're limited, so they're they're a collector's item. Yeah. Those Nickelodeon ones look like they've been slimed on for sure. So cool. I would absolutely wear those to the arcade and to get pizza.

So cool is not what I would use to describe. I I'm not a fan of these. So I saw a video yesterday, and this is what prompted me to even bring this up. And I gotta show you this video because this video of of, somebody walking around in them was what sold me on it because they light up at the bottom? No.

But they should. There's like that little star on there, and it looks like that should light up. Right. And now I gotta hold on. I gotta find I gotta remember how to work my phone.

This is fun. Well, this is where I have the show notes. So I'm gonna open up this this link so you can see. Look at how they look. They look like baby shoes.

Yeah. That guy who's walking in them, is it a lady or a guy? I don't know. Whoever is walking in those looks like they're having a very difficult time walking in them. They look comfy.

They don't. They look chunky. They look large. Yeah. I They look like baby shoes.

Yeah. They do look like baby shoes. Oh, I think that person's, like, walking weird. I think they're walking like like a baby. I think they were trying to walk like a baby.

But I don't see them lighting up. But I also, those are the all white ones. I don't really like the all white ones. I would like the the Nickelodeon I heard. Ones.

I think they're cool. Not for $200. 2 hundred and 50 dollars? For $250. I'm no.

Did you see the bottom of them? Oh, they're so Are we out of ideas? These are this is a fresh idea. This is not a fresh idea. This is like shoes?

I don't have any ideas. Let's make baby shoes for adults. Yeah. That's an idea. No.

That's not a good idea. You don't think so? I don't. Man, I think they're cool. Only the ones that look like Nickelodeon.

Like, I I wanna I want those shoes to wear to, the time capsule opening at Nickelodeon Studios. I would absolutely go to that. Okay. Have you been invited to that? No.

Okay. Well, then I guess you're not gonna wear those. Do you I do you not wanna go to that? No. You don't wanna go to the time capsule opening?

No. Do you know about it? No. So, it's gonna be opened 04/30/2042. It was placed on 04/30/1992.

We've talked about this before, though. Yeah. I wasn't a big Nickelodeon kid. I was a Disney kid. I know.

I know. You were a Nickelodeon kid. I wanna know all the things that are in there. There they've said that there's VHS tapes of Home Alone and Back to the Future, the MC Hammer and Michael Jackson CDs. There's a Game Boy in there, a piece of the Berlin Wall.

There's all kinds of stuff in there. Random? Yeah. Well, it's from 1992. There's all kinds of things.

There's a bunch of pop culture and then a piece of the Berlin Wall. Oh, that was history. There's other stuff in there too. Alright. Well, I guess I won't buy my shoes then.

Not for $2.50, bud. Sorry. If anybody finds a deal or a coupon or something on the baby shoes, let me know. You have a we have an update on your beard. We do?

Well, yesterday, we were talking about how there is a scout Yes. That you, lead in your scout troop, and he told you that you had a mid life beard. That's right. So we saw him. We were picking up our daughter at track practice last night.

He happened to be there, and he called him over and said, hey. Bye. Said, hey. Hey. Hey.

And the first thing he said was, oh, hey. Look. It's midlife beard. And I said, yeah. What is that about?

What is that? I was informed he doesn't really know. Just that if he sees a man with a beard, he can assume that that person is in their forties, fifties, or thirties. That's what he said. That's a big range.

Midlife? Yeah. I guess that's true. That is true. You have a beard, you're in your forties, fifties, or thirties.

It's a midlife beard. And I said, alright. Fine. I will shave it off. I will go clean faced, and I will look really weird.

And he said, cool. You do you. Yeah. I And then we walked away. Yeah.

He's, I don't care. Cool. You do you. He couldn't even be bothered. So that's how that went.

I can be bothered. I don't want you to shave. You don't want the clean face? No. It's been a while since I've done the full clean face thing.

It has. Not that I don't like your face. I like your face. I just prefer your face with a beard. Okay.

I like your midlife beard. Midlife beard. Let me see. Hold your head up. Yesterday, it was a little bit crooked.

I told you I had bed beard. It's not crooked. It looks it looks straight today. Well, yeah, I know. What's funny about it is because the part on your chin right here is gray.

Like, that's where the most gray is, but there's some gray hair that kind of slope. It's a little bit swoopy. You got some swoopy chin hair. I'm shaving it off. Oh, no.

Yeah. I'm gonna make you see just no beard face. No. I'm not trying to be critical. No.

But I I think I should do it just because it's one, it's it's weird. And You look like you're 12 years old. And two, it'd be a fresh start. Get a fresh start. It's a it I'd have a fresh beard.

And it grows seriously when it's fast. It really does. But but I don't know the last time. And plus, it's a little warmer outside. Maybe I'll get away with it.

Okay. Let's do a It's a weird thing having a baby face. It is. If you shave, we'll have to take a picture and and show everybody because you do look very young. Yeah.

It's strange. You look like a 20 year old. Oh, pre midlife, quarter life baby face. It is funny. I'm looking again.

It does swoop. It doesn't swoop. You got a swoopy hair stitch. Like a swoopy. Like a beard cowlick?

Kinda. Yeah. Great. No. It's not bad.

It just looks crooked. I don't have a crooked beard. All of these are laid flat. It's fine. It looks great.

I'm shaving it off. It's going away. I'm gonna I'm I'm going clean shave. Okay. Give it a shot.

Oi. What? You don't even want to. I know. Why don't you want to?

Have you seen it? I have a chin. I you have a chin right now. Yeah. But you can't see it because it's covered by it's the chin and neck.

I have a neck. Not gonna know what to do. I have a neck. Does it ever get, like, scratchy? Like, do you wanna just shave it because it gets so scratchy and you're like No.

Sometimes I wanna do that with the hair on the top of my head. So I can't imagine having that much hair on my face to be, like, get to my food. If no. It doesn't. Food gets in it, and that's you know, you gotta use napkins a lot.

Oh. If you're eating a burger, you get some burger in your beard. Gross. I know. And so you gotta you gotta use napkins a lot.

Good on you. What? Good on you for using You do you, bud, and then walk away. Yeah. Thanks.

I saw a video, about a dad who was pleading for help on Instagram because he was having a hard time transitioning. His family was having a hard time transitioning from one child to two children. So they had one child for how many years and then had decided to have a second? Yes. I don't know how long they had had just one child.

And he said, no one really talks about how you go about making sure that your first child is getting the attention and love that you devoted to them. And then you have another child, and then that baby needs a lot of time and attention. Right. And I remember we felt this. Yeah.

And this is before, like, we had social media and before we had really even smartphones. I didn't get my smartphone till Emery was probably maybe two. Right. Because we're old people. We're old people.

So we didn't have the Internet to ask for help, but I remember feeling so overwhelmed going from that one child to this second child. Five years between our kids as well. So there's there was a big amount of time where and for a long time, we thought we were just gonna have the one. And so when when it was decided we were gonna have, a second and and then that happened, yeah, that's a a major thing. And then I remember because we were trying to wrangle a five year old and also a newborn baby, And the first time we went out, we said we're never going out of the house again.

We did. Eventually, we did. But, yeah, the first time, we took both of them out and Yeah. Trying to hold the five year old's hand and trying to carry the baby in the bucket Right. Seat and trying to get sodas and We're never going out again.

It was exhausting. That was so stressful. Yeah. Also, Emery was not a very good baby. She was a very She was a a needy crying baby.

And she never slept. Right. And she only wanted to be held by me. That is correct. She did not want to go to you.

She did not want to go to grandparents. Nope. She I'm so glad those days are over sometimes. People go, don't you miss it? And I go, no.

I don't. I like my kids now. I like where they're at now. There's there is something to the independence. Teenage years have their own challenges, but it but there is something about once there's, like, the ability to be independent, that we don't have to, you know, assist in every little thing and then feed themselves and, there's no diapers anymore.

Like, all of that stuff is just fantastic times to be alive with everybody. Well and I I do remember some of the advice that people are giving to this man are, like, make sure that you don't leave your first child out of everything. Make sure that he's it feels included and that that he's still involved. And I I remember I tried to do that with Beck, but, again, Emery cried so much that I think he was like, I don't I not gonna be a part of this. And he would separate himself because Yeah.

No. I'll just be in my room. I just don't wanna listen to her cry. My drum set. Yeah.

I was like, I get it, buddy. I'm I'm doing my best. Yeah. I'm really sorry. Oh, man.

Did did he get any good advice, to his question? Or Just like I said and they just said involve the baby or the involve the first in everything that you're doing. Sure. Don't exclude them, and hang in there. Hang in there.

It'll get better. And it does like a cat poster. Yeah. Okay. Just you're in you're in the midst of it right now.

It doesn't do get better, and and I would say, yeah. Once I I like, I understand the the the frustration and the challenges of being like, I've got a balance, but love is multi multiplies, so it isn't cut in half. Right. It just is more. There's more of it.

So you'll you'll find plenty. There's there's plenty in there. But I think it's all about time. Like, you're gonna wanna you're gonna wanna make time. So when when a nap happens on the rare occasion, sometimes, and you get one, you go like, yes.

Time that I have to go play with the other one. And that's that's kind of what I wish I had done. And Emery didn't sleep very much. Rarely. She hated the Right.

Swing. She hated the bassinet. She hated her crib. It was rare that she took a nap. But in those moments when she did take a nap, I was so exhausted myself.

Right. I was like, I just need I can't. I don't have enough Yeah. Mental capacity to even play with Beck. I get it.

So I would sit and stare at the wall. Yeah. I didn't do it. It was probably, like, catch up on laundry, catch up on dishes. Everything else.

Yep. Parenting is exhausting. This is gonna impact so much trauma. I know. This is transitioning from one kid to two kids.

Yeah. Go two to three, three to four, four to five. I don't know what that looks like. I I don't either. I stopped.

I was too exhausted. We have, a lady we know is 10. Like, that's I can't even imagine. No way. I'm exhausted after two.

I can't do it. Yeah. I can't be I can't. I can't. This is very triggering.

Okay. Well, take a breath. Stare at the wall a minute, and, you'll be just fine. You know how you they say sometimes that your kids are much cooler than than you'll ever be? Like, sometimes you'll look at your kids and go, yeah.

You're you're killing it at life. Like, you're much cooler than I ever was at your age. I I think there are times when I've been like I all I wanted when I was in high school was to be able to play guitar, and I took guitar class for a couple of trimesters, semesters, whatever. Yeah. And, and I I felt like I was getting there, and I learned a few things and some chords.

And I didn't really dedicate myself to practice, which is probably why I fall short still to this day. And then our son picks up a, little electric keyboard in the back seat in his little bucket that he got at a drive through or something. And he's just, boom, playing music. And then picks up a guitar, and boom, he's, like, really good. And I go, what?

Yeah. He doesn't have to try much. What what's happening? He can he can play by ear. I know.

Like, I I And he can hear a song, and he's like, oh, yeah. I know how to play that. It's amazing. It's unreal. It is It's really cool.

And any instrument, he's done that with piano. He's done that with the guitar. The bass, the drum. The guitar. The bass, the drums, the pick a thing.

He's done that with that little mouthy instrument. What's it called? You know, that's like a music note, but you open its mouth and it's Oh, the otamatone? Yeah. Yeah.

Yeah. It's wild. That's that's I know. And then and then our daughter. And then our daughter is like, yeah.

I'm gonna pole vault. Yeah. I'm gonna be What? I'm gonna do track, and I'm gonna I'm gonna pole vault. And so she started training with the pole vault, group, on the track team last year when she was still in middle school.

Now she's in high school. She's on the track team doing pole vault. Yeah. I know. Yeah.

I'm like, I'm too afraid to even attempt that. Yesterday, she fell. She kinda hurt her arms a little bit. And then Well, they had to, like you have to be able to fling yourself off of that pole. Yeah.

So you gotta have some core Yeah. And some upper body, and you've gotta I mean, you gotta be able to run. You gotta have a full body build and and fitness in order to do this. And so, yeah, they were practicing some arm strength stuff, and she said, yeah. Her arms hurt.

I'm like, yeah. She's gonna go back and do it again today. I know. She's like, I have fun. I think it's a good time.

I'm like, that sounds like zero amounts of fun. But you are much cooler than ever. Cross country, for and I lettered, and I ran for a couple of years. But that's distance running. That is not the same as Hoisting your body vaulting.

Over running with a long pole Right. Sticking it in the dirt. You lettered. Right? Your body over.

Yeah. In theater. Okay. Don't say it like that. No.

I I I couldn't remember what it was in. Yeah. It was in the for theater. Boy, they'll give a letter to anybody. Come on.

That's that's great. I think that's awesome. Okay. Because, I mean, you still have requirements and stuff. Did you letter the one time, or did you letter multiple times?

Just once. Okay. And I think you get, like, a pin or something if you do Well, you get a bar. So I have I have my letter with my cross country pin, and then I have a bar Oh. For lettering twice.

No. I didn't have that. I just got the one letter. I see. A big old b Yeah.

For Burley. I got an s for skyline. A big blue s with a cross country pin. It was exciting. I didn't even think they gave out letters for drum.

I thought that was only a sports thing. Uh-huh. And so when I got the letter, I was like, what? Cool. I was excited.

I didn't buy the jacket or anything. No. I just have my letter in with all my, cross country stuff. I have a couple of race bibs, and I had my spikes. I don't know where that those ever ended up.

I had them, but I must have gotten rid of them somewhere over the past twenty some odd years. But, anyway, We got cool kids. Cool. Yeah. We do.

Yeah. They are cooler than us. They are surpassing our, achievements daily. They are surpassing us in the cool factor. Dang it.

And they're so young yet. I know. They got so much life ahead. They get to do so many cool things. And we had to do a handstand yesterday for a part of her training.

Yeah. Because you gotta get used to flinging yourself Oh, I know. Supporting yourself with your arms. Yeah. Well, she well, I was seeing that she fell, and she kinda hurt her back a little bit.

Her coach was like, yeah. That happens. That's gonna happen in pole vaulting. That's just part of the game. That's good.

That's a coach. Cool. You're gonna fall down. It's gonna happen. Get back up.

Would've stopped immediately. I would've been like, yeah. This isn't for me. Nah. Give it a go.

It's gonna be cool. I'm I'm excited to watch it excited to watch it too. Fly through the air over that, over that bar. I think it's gonna be really cool. Winds meet.

Okay. Have you ever listened to a really good song or watched a movie or seen a piece of art. I've done all those things. And you've been so overcome with emotion that it's given you chills? I have had, yeah.

Or, like, yeah. If I like, live theater will do that sometimes when they're singing and, you know, and there's some notes that get hit or some moments. Yeah. And you get the, like like, the chills. Sure.

Yeah. Did you know that's called something? What's it called? It's called Frizzen. F r I Frizzen?

Yeah. F R F R I S S 0 N. F R I S S 0 N. Frisson. Frisson?

Frisson. A feeling of shivers or tingling that occurs in response to an emotional experience. Okay. Yeah. Aesthetic chills.

Aesthetic chills. Or a psychogenic shiver. It's a French word that means to shiver or have chills. Well, that's what is this? Somatic marker.

Did you say that? No. What does that mean? Physical felt signature of an emotion. So it's just emotion that you feel and you go, Interesting.

Isn't that cool? I just learned that today. Aesthetic chills. This happens to me, I wouldn't say often, but, yes, enough times that I go, oh, that has impacted me. Yeah.

There are some times theater for sure hits me most of the time. Yeah. Like, there like, that'll I'll get it pretty much guaranteed at least once during live theater for sure. Yeah. Me too.

Because it's amazing what people can do sometimes. It really is. And it I don't know if it's some sort of connection or some sort of just empowered emotion. But I'll get it doesn't even necessarily have to be a musical. Like, you could be having a good time.

You could be laughing and something just sparks you, and you go like, oh, that's so great. Yeah. Yeah. That's awesome. I never knew it had a word.

Well, now you But it does. You know. It has a word, and it's called I don't know if it's called Frizzen or Frizzen. Frizzen. I don't know how you pronounce it.

How do you pronounce it? I don't know. Is it rare? No. It's not rare.

Half the population it's called. Friesen. Yeah. Freeze Friesen. More than half the population experiences this.

As in you get goosebumps because you're freezing. It's a Yeah. It's a pretty Freezing. Common phenomenon. Yeah.

It's cool. Phenomenon. Common common phenomenon. I don't know what you're doing. It's it's it's fine.

Just go with it. I I'm I'm not filling the freeze zone. Common phenomenon. Quick. Our daughter has been talking to a boy.

What? Talking to a boy on her phone. What? You knew this. I did know this.

The thing that is upsetting to me is that there's no awkward he just calls her on her cell phone. Oh, because you don't have to, like, call and talk to the parents and ask if the person you wanna talk to is there Yeah. And have that whole interaction. Exactly. I see.

I don't like it. Well, I want that Tell her I want that boy to have next time he calls exchange. He has to talk to you first. Yeah. Tell her that.

I think that's fair. Goes. And then he has to ask, hi. Uh-uh. Is Emery there?

Can I talk to Emery? I think that's only fair. That's a rite of passage. I agree. I remember talking on the phone to boys.

Mhmm. And we had a long cord that was stretched out. We didn't have a cordless phone for a very long time. So we just had a phone that was on the wall that was corded, and I had to take it to my room. I remember there was a boy who called me, and he was kind of an introvert, and he didn't have much to say.

And so Hi. Yeah. No. It was we spent most of our phone calls in silence. And then Those are the best ones.

Me awkwardly trying to come up with stuff to talk about. I mean, I still call you and just sit there just to be silent. You haven't called me well, you called me yesterday. I know. I call you.

I do that. I'm a phone call guy. You are a phone call guy. So, I called you and and you were, in your car, so it was over the Bluetooth. And I think I was in my car over the Bluetooth something.

I'm trying to remember. But then there was there was some moments of silence, and it was like, okay. Well, guess I'll let you go. The moments of silence are because we're actively doing something. Yeah.

So you call me when I'm busy doing something, and then I'm like, I'm gonna keep doing this thing. Tell me what you need to tell me. And you're like, yeah. I'm gonna keep doing my thing. Tell me what you need to tell me.

And then I go, did you hear me? And you go, mhmm. Uh-huh. Yep. Who said romance isn't dead?

That's right. It's it just exists in the silence of phone calls. Yeah. There was a time when we were dating, you used to call me and we would talk until we didn't have anything more to say, and then we would fall asleep on the phone together. How often did that happen?

It happened quite a few times. Two, three Oh. More? That's nice. Isn't that nice?

I've just been talking to you so long. That was a nice moment. Phone batteries would die. And you lived you lived in Idaho Falls, and you lived in Pocatello. Correct.

So we had we had a long distance thing for a minute. A long distance? A thirty five minute drive? Mid a mid distance. It's not a long distance.

That would it was a thirty five minute drive. We couldn't be bothered to make, so we would call. Well, yeah, because you actually drive, really. I don't really Yeah. And we were poor.

We couldn't always afford gas. True. This is true. Those were nice models. Like that.

That's what it was like. It was just that. And, okay. Good night. Worse than the decision of what to have for dinner, which is a daily dilemma, there's a worse problem than that.

There's a worse problem than having to decide what to have for dinner. Yes. And it's what to have for lunch. I totally agree. I mean, here's the deal about lunch.

Lunch is a little easier because it's typically just yourself. So in that regard, it's like, hey. What do I want? Okay. That's fair.

And dinner, it's what does the rest of the house and myself want to eat? So I would say fair. In that way, lunch has a has a point. There's You got a little bit of a bonus. Yeah.

Is that but I could still difficult because here's my dilemma with lunch. My dilemma with lunch is I don't wanna spend dinner prices on lunch. Exactly. So I don't like that I go to try and grab something, and it isn't a fraction of what I would pay for a dinner meal. Yeah.

That's fair. That's my biggest hang up with lunch. Because there's a bunch of places I could go and grab something, but I wanna spend $10. But you also don't want anything too heavy because you still have half of your workday left. So you don't want something heavy that's gonna, like, wear you out for the rest of the day.

Yeah. You know? Right. But do you know what? I I I would like to spend 5 to $10 and call that lunch.

Yeah. Like, so that's why it's grab a sandwich or I'm gonna go get, you know, a burger or a taco or something easy like that. You went and got a taco yesterday, and I was mad at you. I did have tacos. I had burria tacos yesterday.

Craving that specific taco, and you said, oh, I'm gonna go get this for lunch. And I went, you are the worst. That is the worst. And then I had a really delicious burger the day before. Oh, I don't know.

Gonna have for lunch today? I don't know. That's what I when I've been trying to save money while you're out spending our money on lunches true. I've been trying to save money, so I've been taking lunches from home. I've been trying to eat a little bit healthier.

Right. Yesterday, you you had a delicious slice of pizza. Right? I took leftovers Yeah. Yesterday.

But then We had a really good dinner the night before, and I had taken leftovers. And then I had to go to a business that was selling delicious pizza. Yeah. And You got a delicious pizza. I said, I'm just saying I get a delicious slice of pizza.

Yeah. $2. Right. Come on. Can't beat that.

That's a good deal. It was a good deal. The only way you could beat that is if you went on the day of the week where they do a two for one slice. I didn't go on the two for one slice. I was pretty days.

I was pretty scared about my slice. Whatever it is. So today, I wake up, and I go, there's nothing to eat for lunch. I I do have stuff to eat. You just have to prepare it.

Right. And I don't wanna have to prepare it. I I hate trying to I hate trying to pack my lunch every night. So what are you gonna have for lunch? I don't know.

I don't know. I'm so sad. I don't know what to have for lunch. What do you feel like? I don't know.

What's the weather looking like? Snow. I don't wanna drive anywhere. Check the Certainly not. The weather is snowing.

Okay. So I can't. I can't. I just want warm soup. What a problem to have.

Yeah. I hate trying to make these food decisions. I think lunch is worse than dinner. I think you're right in the fact that you just have to worry about yourself, and that is a positive. But is that also your challenge?

Yes. Because when other people are there, they can offer up suggestions, and you can just be like, fine. I'll deal with that. Fine. I'll find something.

But when it's just you, you have to figure it out yourself? Yeah. Yep. Well, good luck. I'll let you know what I'm doing because I'll decide soon.

K. I'll decide within about the next hour and a half. I'll I'll have decided where I feel like I wanna eat. Okay. Well, really?

Mhmm. I start my stomach starts to growl about 11:30. Yep. 10:30, eleven. I'm like, I should eat lunch.

I need to start thinking about lunch. And then if coworkers wanna go, I wait till noon because they're they wanna eat lunch too, but they're on a different time schedule than me. Oh, no. Because I could eat lunch right now. I'd be just fine.

You should probably just have breakfast. I should. Go eat a package of oatmeal. I've done that the past couple of days. And then you spill it on your shirt.

Every time. Every single time I make oatmeal, somehow and it's weird because, like, I will have mixed it. I haven't even taken a bite yet, and I looked down and there's oatmeal on my shirt. What's the deal with that? I don't know.

Make the spoon go to your mouth. It I'd I I don't know what happened. It must have happened when I was mixing it, maybe. Maybe it fell out when I was mixing. With your mixing.

Gentle stirs. Well, but I also take two packets and put it in one, and then I just add the hot water because I'm lazy. That oatmeal is like glue too. If you spill it on your shirt and you try to wipe it off, now that stuff is there forever. I know.

And every single time I make that oatmeal If you're looking for a glue substitute, oatmeal is the choice. I just realized that that could be sticky stuff. You could use it for wallpaper. Sure. If you want lumpy wallpaper.

Sure. Spackle, texture Yeah. Stucco. Oatmeal. Oatmeal?

Okay. Our son works at a job where he they have baby chicks. They have bay baby chickens. Yes. And yesterday, he told us a story about how a woman came in and bought chicks.

Yes. And then she brought one back later in the day and said, this chick is being mean. I I don't want this chick. I was confused by because I didn't know that, the chickens and I guess I just I haven't been around chickens enough to know that they would have different demeanors. Every chicken I've seen has just wandered around pecking at food.

So I didn't realize that you could have a mean chicken. I didn't know you could have a mean chicken either. Right. And I said, how mean can this chicken be that you brought him back to the store? So they brought him back.

They took him back, and then they watched him. The employees kinda watched him and found out that, yeah, this chick was pulling other chicks by the beak. Yeah. Grabbing other chickens. And just dragging him around.

Yeah. You can't do that. That's a mean chicken. It's a mean chicken. So now, he the line that he said that made me laugh was, we don't know what we're gonna do with this chicken.

Well, I don't Poor chicken. I don't know what you're gonna I mean, can you scold a chicken? I don't know. No chicken. I think they have him in isolation now, don't they?

Like, they've got him separated from the other chicken. Maybe he needs to be around bigger chickens. Oh, yeah. Maybe. Be like, you can't boss me around.

I don't know. I don't know what's up with this chicken. He's a he's a mean chicken. I know, but there's gotta be a reason. Oh, I figured it out.

What? You know that Jamaican jerk chicken? That's him. No. No.

Stop it. It's jerk chicken. That's it. That's what it is. I figured it out.

No. You don't think so? Oh, Josh. That was that was a pretty good one. I'll admit that.

That's where jerk chicken comes from, is moving chickens? I'm impressed by the quickness of that wit. Okay. But you get no laugh. Alright.

That's fair. I feel sad for the chicken. I I kinda wanna adopt the chicken. You wanna adopt the mean chicken? Yeah.

Why? Because I feel sad for him. I don't want him to be alone. I don't believe it's a her. They're all hens.

Oh, yeah. It's not a real mister. I feel bad for her. Yeah. I don't want her to be alone.

She probably just misses her mom. And she's like, you're not my mom. Get out of here. They it's probably an incubated chicken. That chicken doesn't know where it came from.

Well, that's the whole problem then, isn't it? You're right. He's never known she's never known what love is. That's right. She needs love.

Somebody give that chick some love. Keep that chick a mom. Okay. I'll do it. I'll do it.

You're volunteering as tribute to save that angry to go to the store today. Chicken. That chicken is gonna sleep in my bed. Oh, no. That chicken and Luna are gonna be the best of presents.

Maybe that's the solution. Maybe The crazy dog. The solution to the crazy dog is a mean chicken? The solution to both. The solution to the crazy dog is a mean chicken.

The solution to the mean chicken is a crazy dog. Together, they'll be the best of friends. I don't think that's the solution. Luna and the chicken are the best of friends. I don't think Luna and the chicken should meet.

I think that is the best idea. No. I'm gonna get that to you. Luna has a little chicken saddle, in which case I'm kinda curious about that. Could you imagine?

Never gonna work. I think I figured it out. I gotta go get that chicken. I hope that chicken is still there. Don't go get that chicken.

That chicken's gonna live in our house. No. Chicken Look at your face. You're way too serious about this. No.

Chicken a thing. Buying the mean chicken. This is a children's story waiting to happen. Think of all the stories we could tell. Yeah.

Genius. I don't want the mean chicken. Everybody wins. Everyone. Quit quit trying to make the mean chicken a thing.

The mean chicken just needs love. It just Then go visit the mean chicken and see what happens. That's not love. Giving it a place to live No. And a best friend is love.
