Good morning. Hey. What's up? You know, it's Thursday. It's Friday eve.
Yes. So we got that going for us. Yeah. You're back in the studio. Yeah.
That's right. Yesterday. Yesterday. Quiet and lonely. I'm sorry, Josh.
Oh, it was sad and depressing in here. I just didn't even turn the lights on. I just sat here all mopey. Played emo music. Yeah.
I just was Hey, buddy. I'm crying. I lit a candle. Not really. You lit a candle?
No. I didn't. It was all good. It was fine. Rude.
Yeah. Show felt better. No. I'm kidding. I'm kidding.
I'm I'm glad you're here. Today is drawing day. It is horse rescue day, national love a tree day. Oh, I love trees. Yep.
It is global accessibility awareness day. That's a big deal. International Day of Living Together in Peace. Hey. We pretty much live together in peace.
You and I? Yeah. Yeah? Yeah. It's wear purple for peace day Oh, I didn't.
I didn't wear purple. Anyway, we both wore, like, a green. Look at us. Look at us. I I was dressed first.
So Well, I didn't even see you until I was out of the room. So I don't even think I have anything purple if I wanted to participate in this. Some purple pants. They're tight, though. Oh.
They're, like, around the waist. I think they shrunk. It's national teen self esteem month, which that's the first time I've noticed that 1. So I don't know if that kicked off just now or if that's been going all month, but that's great. That is great.
And that's what's happening today on May 16th, Thursday. May 16th. How are we already in the middle of the week or the middle of the month? Oh, it's just time. It's the way it works.
It's crazy. It's not it it really is crazy how fast it goes. I'm saying. Oh, I hear you. I hear what you're saying.
I'm picking up what you're putting down. Good morning. Thursday. Good morning. 68 year old Vincent in North Carolina was just doing his job as a Walmart greeter.
Part of his job as a Walmart greeter is to check receipts as people exit the store. So he asked Can I just say that's an annoying thing? I agree with you. As he was checking receipts yesterday, a woman, she was 28 years old, said I I don't have to show you my receipt. And the elderly greeter, Vincent, said, I'm sorry.
I'm just doing my job. Please, can I see your receipt? I like that approach. And she began yelling at her boyfriend to, quote, take care of Vincent. What does that mean?
So Go get him a foot rub? What's that mean? Hey. You need to take care of this guy. And I'd be like, okay.
Well, let's go have lunch then. You and me, I'm buying. That's not how her boyfriend took care. I'm sure not. So he punched him in his left thigh way.
Which caused him to fall to the ground and strike his head. Then they left. The couple left, fled the store. See, now you've gone from inconvenience to assault. Misdemeanor assault Yeah.
At that. Mhmm. So okay. Here's the thing. I hate checking my receipts too.
I don't think it does anything. I know it's supposed to stop theft, but does it really? Uh-huh. Does it? Uh-huh.
Would you ever punch somebody in the face No. If they asked you to check your receipt, Josh? Not over that or anything else. Well, and I feel like I'm not a punch you in the face kinda guy. That just makes you look more guilty.
Oh, yeah. If you're not willing to give up your receipt Yeah. Just is gonna make you look more guilty. Right. I I mean, it is inconvenient.
I wish it wasn't a thing. It's silly to me. I understand in a world of self checkout, but it's it is, it is frustrating. It's frustrating. Is it, Josh?
Yeah. You're so frustrated. I don't like doing it at places that have historically created it because I have to pay to even shop there. And then you don't trust me to do a self checkout or to you you check it whether I use self checkout or not. Yeah.
And then I gotta wait in a 3rd line. Yep. Gotta wait in the line to get a cart. Gotta wait in the line to check out. And then because there's always a ton of people.
And then I it's a short line, but I'm always like, alright. Get your cards. 3 people. Great. Here we go.
Now I can get in, and I have to show a membership card to even get in the place. They got they got, like, big bouncers out front. Yeah. Yeah. And then what?
You know, sorry. You can't come in here. Your name's not on the list. And then you go and you wander around and you get your your things and you go pay for them. And whether you do self checkout or you go to a check stand, it doesn't matter.
Then you gotta wait in a slow line for somebody to look at it, look at your cart, count a few items, and then highlight and have a great day. On your way. It's a silly process. Silly process. That was the most old man rant I've ever heard in my life, though.
Well, I just really wanted you to feel the frustration. Felt it. If I could do without that, I'd be better. But, yeah, don't go punching people. Don't punch people Yeah.
Just because you're inconvenienced. Also, don't steal. Yeah. Start there. Hey.
Stop shoplifting, and also don't assault people. That's it. Too easy things. There is a man. I don't know where he's from.
He covered himself in Christmas tattoos. Why? So he can celebrate all year long. He loves I don't think that's how it works. Loves Christmas so much that he has completely covered himself in Christmas tattoos.
And they're very cool. I was looking at some pictures. They're really, like, antique style style. Head I don't know what antique style is. Hold on.
Because I I know a couple of different tattoo styles. Antique is not 1 of them. But, but what I see in my head, are, like, individual this is this is probably not what it looks like, but, like, down his arm Uh-huh. I see individual things like a gingerbread man and a tree and a stocking and Yeah. You know, like a nativity thing or whatever.
I look at his arm. And then, like, but but I what I wanted to see was, like, a full Kris Kringle back piece. Oh, I know. Or or if he just did a Santa suit, tattoo that on yourself. Full on, go for it.
No. They're individual pieces, which is sad. He's trying to bring them all together so it looks like more of a fluid piece, but right now, they're all individual pieces. Antiki style Does it say that? No.
I just said that. Okay. But what I mean by antique style is, like, if you imagine, like, some old wrapping paper that your parents used to have of, like like, old traditional looking Santa Claus. Yeah. That's what it looks like.
Like like, old, like what's the word I want? Just like a traditional looking Christmas. Does that make more sense? I get what you're saying. I'm just trying to find this guy.
What's his name? I don't know. Oh, it's fine. It doesn't matter. I just wanna pick it up.
He's anonymous? He is. He's not for long. He's walking around with Christmas all over him. There's there's, as I look at Christmas tattoos, there's quite a bit Really?
On online. Yeah. So he's not original? Is that what you're saying? What I'm saying is but some of these are like, the artwork is incredible.
Somebody's done, like, a whole, like, snow globe thing and, yeah. I get it. Okay. Yeah. He's got work to do.
What would you call that type of looking Santa? Traditional. It's not even traditional. What is it? Again, that's I guess NT.
That's fine. It's not NT. It's just Yeah. It's just drawing. No.
It looks like an old traditional antique looking Santa Claus. Like, wrapping paper that your mom used to have. I don't think antique is even a word. It's not, but I'm using it. Alright.
I that's got a name. Antiki. That's It's actually is having an appearance of an antique. It's actually a word. Hey.
Antique. Look at what we're learning today. I love it. I knew it all along. Did you?
Yeah. I think I could roll tape where you said, yeah. It's probably not a word. No. No.
No. Well, good for him. What's his name? I don't know. He's anonymous.
He's just back. Chris Kringle. His name is Chris Kringle. You think Kris Kringle? Kris Kringle is sick of Christmas.
He's not gonna get tattoos of Christmas over his body. He's like, I just wanna No. I want no affiliation with Christmas. Okay. What's another holiday?
Halloween. I bet there's a lot of Halloween style tattoos. Yeah. Yeah? What's another 1?
Easter. You think there's a bunch of people rolling around with Easter tattoos? 4th July? Yeah. There's plenty of Americana.
That's a real tattoo style. Thanksgiving? Yes. There it is. It's a big old turkey dinner.
And pilgrims. Yeah. Oh. Corn. No.
Let's not do that. Mayflowers. Okay. Good news to get you going. I think you're gonna like this story a lot.
Beth Christiansen is a graduate student at the University of Missouri, Kansas City Okay. Conservatory. She studies piano there. Oh. She doesn't have a dorm on campus.
Instead, she has a room at Claridge Court. K. That's a senior living center. Aw. So, there's a big age difference between Beth and her fellow residents at the facility, but everybody's getting along great and have become friends thanks to the time they're spending in the community room where Beth performs music for anyone who's interested.
She said it's truly, fun to have a relationship with your audience as a performer. And when she isn't playing music, she's still involved in the lives of the other residents. She plays games like chair volleyball with them. She'll do puzzles with them, talk to the residents about their rich lives that they've led, which is really cool. Music is obviously the centerpiece of her daily life.
She said it is such a connecting force. It bridges the divisions that exist between people, and having the opportunity to make connections with a community that's several generations older than me has been so special. It's been such a beautiful experience. I think that's really cool. Cool too.
And I bet she's saving a little bit of money versus the door. Too, but how does she how did she wind up there? I don't know. Because aren't there requirements? Like a age limit?
Yeah. I don't know. I think that's cool. I would I would I would absolutely do that. I know.
So the people here, are 50, 60 years older than me, but that is not essential essential to who they are as people, which I think is so cool. It is so cool. She's studying piano. So she goes in. She plays her piano.
She gets to hang out. As part of her living agreement, she's encouraged to be a part of the, community there. So I don't know how it all worked out. I'd have to read more into how she ended up doing that, but good for her. And I think that's kinda I think that's special too.
So that's why it's good news to get you going It is good news. On Classy 90 7. Wake up Classy 90 7. It's Josh and Chantel. How's your chair feeling today?
My chair? Yeah. It feels like a chair. Yeah. Did you notice anything about it?
No. Does it feel sturdy? Not any more sturdy than normal. Well, fine. Mine feels strong and sturdy.
Do you feel there's no shakiness? I mean, there still is some shakiness over here. Whatever. What did you do? Time yesterday because I was in here by myself all morning.
Yeah. And I have everybody to talk to. So I I went and got some tools out of my truck, and I tightened all the screws on these 2 chairs. That's And some of them were hanging on by a thread. Oh, no.
Oh, no. By a the thread of a bolt. See, that's anyway, the point is, strong, sturdy foundation in this chair. Great. I bet.
Thank you, Josh. I bet. Now I didn't I couldn't fix the, hydraulic issue where sometimes your chair goes short. Uh-huh. And I've had people ask multiple people have asked, when are you gonna get her a new chair?
I don't have I don't have the money to make that happen. We should start a GoFundMe for a new chair. Budget. Yeah. To buy a new chair.
So so I'm sorry about the chair that you're still in, but I did my best to get it a little bit better. Thank you. That's nice. I was gonna put a bow on it, so you think it was a new chair. No.
You know what? You put on the show notes, you put something about a chair. How's your new chair? Yeah. And I looked immediately, and I went, no.
It's still the same chair. I should've got some paint. I could've, taken the handles off, the arms off, and painted them a different color, but, woah. Gave it racing stripes or something cool. Well, I'm happy that you fixed the bolts that were Yeah.
Mine still has a little bit of a rock to it, which I'm annoyed by, but that's it it's an old chair. Yeah. We need a we need a We need an overhaul. Fund our new some new chairs. Do.
Who do we talk to around here? Who who do we talk to? I I can't work like this. I suppose I could stand. No.
All day. You're gonna stand all day? It's the morning part. I mean, some people some people actually do stand all day for their job. Yeah.
Yeah. And I'm like, no. Some people have to work outside in the rain and the snow and the heat. I know. Stand for 20 minutes?
Yeah. Never. Never. Yeah. Alright.
Anyway, nice chair you got there. Thank you. I appreciate it. You're welcome. Okay.
You were texting me and Emery yesterday in a group text, and you did a dot.dot. Yes. An ellipsis. Yes. Uh-huh.
And Emery goes, I gotta talk to dad. And I go, why? And she goes, because I don't think he he uses those dot dot dots all the time, and I don't think he knows what they mean. And I go, what do they mean? Because Yeah.
Things mean different to middle schoolers than they do to regular people. Because ellipsis is, is just the dot.dot, and, I use it I'm trying to look at it in writing, how to use it in writing. It is a punctuation mark, and when used correctly, it can elevate your writing by making it more succinct and impactful. So that's, that's what I use it for. To oh, that's what you use it for?
Yeah. Okay. I went I went back to the text. You did dot.dot. Right.
That's that is it is a it is a full stop 3 times. So it's saying when you read it, take a longer pause. Yeah. Yeah. Just wait.
Just wait a minute. That's what I always take into place. My thinking Right. She Now some people do dot space dot space dot. Uh-huh.
I do the 3 dots together. I do that too. But go on. What does she think it is? Thinks it means, like, a secret.
You don't wanna say the whole truth. So it's like a dot.dot. Oh, I don't really wanna tell you what I'm thinking. So you're like a it's like a when you said, dot.dot, you didn't necessarily wanna tell us what you were thinking. Like, where do you wanna go to lunch?
I wanna go to this place, but you guys don't wanna go to it. Yeah. No. That's not what I mean at all. She thinks it means.
I don't know if that's, like, her whole generation thinks that that's what it means or if that's just a her thing, but I went, oh, that's not what I use it for. Yeah. No. It means it means an elongated pause. Yeah.
Everybody take a pause. But I'm not surprised to learn that middle schoolers think something means something else. I just like the I gotta talk to dad. Yeah. He's using that wrong.
Because I don't think he knows. Or maybe I do know, and I just don't wanna tell you. Dot.dot. Maybe I'll I'll use it right now. She just texted us good morning.
I'm just gonna say good morning. Let's see what happens. Good morning. And see what she comes back with. There we go.
We'll see. We'll keep you up to date. It won't take long because she'll go, oh, yeah, about that. Oh, I I've been meaning to talk to you about this. Yeah.
Thanks for keeping me up to date and in the loop. I like to be cool, so it's important. Thanks. Classy 97. It's Josh and Chantel.
We have been watching this show, and it's all about farmers. And I have gained such a new appreciation for farmers and all of the work that they do. They have so much work to do. Yeah. It's nothing I feel like I could ever commit to.
Couldn't either. No way. But, especially, if you're gonna also have livestock. Like, if you're gonna have animals and you're going to have land that you have to be responsible for, and you've gotta worry about the planting and the harvesting and all the time. It's in between all the weathers and whether it's dry enough to harvest.
There's so many variables. Wet to even plow your field? Yeah. Oh, come on. Yeah.
I can't do it. So I have mad respect for farmers. You want you wanna get a little more respect? Sure. I'm gonna show you a video game called Farming Simulator.
Oh, I've seen that before. Yeah. But you haven't ever played it No. Where you actually have to back up the tractor to an implement and connect it and then plow a field No, but and stay in rows and all that stuff. Like, that that game will teach you it's not, like, super great.
Well, we watched the farmers last night try to back up their trailer to hook to a tractor. Yeah. It takes a takes a minute to an implement. He was hooking on a trailer. That's what I said.
What? Back up his trailer to hook to a trailer. Yeah. A tractor. I said tractor.
I don't know what was said. Regardless, the point is, it's tough. It's tough work. It's, it's hard work, and and it takes a community to make it work. It's it's wild.
And then I'm thinking about, like, all the tractors and how people had to farm in the old days without the use of machinery. Yeah. Just horses pulling plows. Yeah. What?
Standing there on a plow. What? Yeah. Farming is crazy. Yep.
Yeah. Farming be crazy. That could be a shirt. Something Chantel said. Don't forget the yo.
Farm and be crazy, yo. Mad respect. Yeah. If you're a farmer, well done. Yeah.
Good good for you because holy smokes. You got a you got a job there. Do you have anything else you wanted to say about farming? No. Just this particular farmer had some pigs, and then the we found out a lot about pigs that sometimes they're not great mothers.
But last night, you said at 1 point, I want a piglet, and then you looked at Luna and went, no. I don't. No. I changed my mind real quick. I want a pig?
No. I don't. No. I really don't. Because a piglet grows up to be a full size pig.
Yeah. And And sometimes those full size pigs to have a pig. Will have babies, and sometimes they'll squash their babies. I know. It's very sad.
It is very sad. It is very, very sad. Farm life, be crazy. Farm and be crazy, yo. Yesterday, Yesterday, probably about 2 o'clock, I felt something on the side of my shirt, and I went, what is that?
What is it's my tag. My shirt is inside out. I noticed. At 2 o'clock in the afternoon afternoon, I noticed my shirt. It had buttons.
I didn't notice that the buttons were inside out because here's what happens. That particular shirt, I just throw on over my head without unbuttoning the buttons. Yeah. So it had buttons. I hadn't noticed that the buttons were were I didn't even notice what shirt you were wearing.
It was white. It had a little bit of a collar. Uh-huh. Again I know the shirt. Yeah.
It's kind of kind of a a light material, similar to the 1 you're wearing now in a way. Yes. Alright. Here's what I'm gonna say. What?
I'm gonna travel down this road lightly. All of your clothes are wrong side out. What is what do you mean by that? Not not right now. Every bit of laundry I ever do is wrong side out.
Pants, shirts, socks, wrong side out. Everything is wrong side out. So? Why are all of your clothes wrong side out? Because that's how we take them off.
It's strange. Why? Turn them right side out. No. Why?
Because I don't want to. I'll turn them right side right side right when I put them away. Yeah. Apparently, I'd missed this shirt because I pulled it out Yeah. Put it on, and, like, this looks great.
My level of surprise is real low that something you put on was wrong side out. That's true. That's what I said. I'm gonna travel lightly, and then I just kinda just drove down the road real quick. The thing that kills me the most is it had buttons and a collar, and I still didn't even notice that it was inside out.
Mhmm. The collar, totally inside. Buttons, totally inside. And I'm like, this looks great. Alright.
I went to lunch with you. You didn't say anything. Notice. The the tag was on the side of the shirt, so it's just hanging out on my side. Maybe it was a choice.
I who am I to judge? I don't I had gone so many places. Do you have a jacket on or just the shirt? No. Just the shirt.
Shirt with the tag waving in the breeze. Just the tag waving. Buttons inside, collar inside. I'm living life going, look at me. Okay.
Okay. Quit turning your clothes wrong. That's all I can say. All I can say is you gotta quit turning your stuff inside out. It's it's weird.
And look. What do you why is it weird? You take it off. It's inside out. You throw it in the lock for that.
Are never wrong side out. How do you take it off? How do you take off your clothes? The right way. Not like a crazy person just throwing my clothes off.
Because if you take it off, it's automatically inside out. Nope. And then you just throw it Nope. In the laundry. And then and then you'll say things like, you know, when I fold the laundry, I put yours away.
And then I say, yeah. I know. But mine are all right side out, so it's really easy. It's not difficult. I hate it.
It's it is 1 of my it is like it's it's the 1 of those low tier annoyance things where I'm like, nah. We're never gonna put these on hangers because I can't be bothered to turn them right side out. Never. Yeah. Here's a low key annoyance.
I'll never turn them right side up now. Never. Never. On the off chance know it bugs me. That you do the laundry Yeah.
In the 1 day a year that you do the laundry. Whatever. I do laundry way more than 1 day a year. Okay. Maybe twice.
More. No. Keep going. No. I just did laundry this weekend.
Did you see what I did with your shirts? No. Used to be on all to dry, and I left them now. That was very nice of you. I appreciate it.
Because they're all wrong side out. I'm dealing with this. Classy 97. It's Josh and Chantel. Okay.
This is the funniest story I have to share. Emery is in a 3 d modeling class. Yeah. Doing 3 d printing. They have to design an item, and then they can print it if they choose.
But the idea is that they're constructing it using software. Right. So she constructed a duck on the software, and then she had it printed, and it's the tiniest, cutest little duck. It's funny because when you see the drawing of the duck that she made, you don't have any idea of scale. Yeah.
But then when it was printed, it's it it's like a vending machine size little duck. Yeah. Like Yeah. Do not give to your little child. Yeah.
Choking hazard. It's it but it's this little tiny yellow duck that she 3 d printed. Which then you told her Yes. That she should print a blue 1 for me Right. Because 1 of my favorite movies is a show called Billy Madison Right.
Where he No. Draws a blue duck. Right. Because he'd never seen a blue duck. He colors the duck blue in kindergarten.
Yeah. And he's, why did you color the the duck blue? And he said, because I've never seen a blue duck. Blue duck. And so I said, yeah.
Mom needs a blue duck. I do. So Emery said that she's gonna ask today to see if she can print a blue duck. And she said, I don't know if my 3 d modeling teacher has blue filament, but I can check. I said, oh, it's no big deal.
Don't worry about it. And then I said, wait. How old is your teacher? Like, my age? And she said, oh, he's probably, like, 39 to 42.
So yeah. Okay. Alright. She says, I think. And then she goes, he's bald.
What does that mean? That's I what? That's an attack on me and all of my fellow bald men. I just I asked because if he was our age, then he would probably understand the Billy Madison reference because that came out when we were in high school. Sure.
So that's why I asked. But I I don't know. He's bald. He's old. Yeah.
He's your age because he's bald. I've been bald since I was in my early twenties, so it's just the way it is. I just it made me laugh. I don't know. He's bald, so it's gotta be your age.
Yeah. He's old. Thank you, Emery, for that 1. Wake up, classy 97. It's Josh and Chantel.
Okay. Here's the question, and I this is a question I don't often there's questions I don't like to ask because I feel like it's common knowledge, and then I feel dumb asking it. And I don't want to ask because because I don't wanna feel dumb asking. So I'm gonna ask on the radio Oh, okay. Everyone can say, you're an idiot for that.
No. What's up? I don't know the difference between a Bolt and a Lag Bolt. What kind of Bolt? Good question, Josh.
What are you using the bolt for? I don't know. I just heard somebody say lag bolt. Yes. And I said, how is that different from a regular bolt?
So a a lag bolt is, is typically used for, like, anchoring. Lag bolts usually have, like, a screw point tip because they're used for like, when when I mount the TV on the wall, for example Okay. I use lag bolts to hold the frame into the studs. And because they have to kinda screw into other wood, they have a pointy tip, and they're used for, that kind of a thing. Uh-huh.
And they typically have to be tightened with a wrench, or a socket. Do you know the difference between a wrench and a socket? That's fine. What other kind of bolts do you wanna know about? Reg there's, like, regular bolts, which are just like a hex bolt Yes.
Which has a flat it's like a stub nose. It's just flat. Right. And you put a nut on it Right. And washers and stuff.
Right. Right. That's just a regular hex bolt. But then there's, like I didn't know there was multiple types of bolts. There's so many bolts.
Have you never been down the hardware aisle? Yeah. But I don't pay attention. Oh, we should go look at bolts. No.
You know when I go to the fly fishing store and there's all those different kinds of bugs Mhmm. And and you're like, wow. That 1 looks like a crab, and that, wow, that 1 looks like a weird little worm. Mhmm. And, wow, that 1 is really pretty, or that 1 looks like a mouse, or that 1 looks like a a mosquito, whatever.
Yeah. That 1 looks like a grasshopper. Yeah. Same. Go to the hardware aisle.
Yeah. Oh, yeah. There's different sizes. There's different lengths, different diameters. There's a there's a 1, 000, 000 different kinds of bolts.
At least the fly fishing bugs are nice to look at, though, the bolts. You looked at the hardware aisle? Have you opened the drawers and looked at all of the nuts and bolts and things? No. You should.
It's amazing. No. Sometimes sometimes if you go to a, like, an older style, hardware store, you can pull open the drawers, and all of the little things have doors that lift up. So you have drawers with doors. It's pretty cool.
It's it's serious organization. Why would they have a drawer with a door? To keep everything separated. Oh, I see. Yeah.
It's nice. So you get these little metal tin sleeves, and you open up, and you go, yes. I need all these fancy washers. Do you know how many different kinds of washers there are? So many.
There's nylon washers. There's stainless steel washers. That's the other part. You get stuff made out of all kinds of different metals. I'm sorry that I asked.
No. You're not. You should learn more about it. Let's go to the hardware store. I'm gonna show you around.
No. It's okay. I'm gonna show you this whole aisle of stuff you can look at. I've seen it. You know, you can get, like, different kinds of nuts.
They have nylon nuts that lock on. They have, you could get, like, wing nuts you can twist with your fingers. I feel like Forrest Gump. You do? Next to his, yeah, next to his buddy.
Bubba? Yeah. Yeah. Talking about shrimp? I I can see that.
But, hey, let's go to hardware store. Now I know about the difference between bolts and line bolts, so cool. I don't think you do, but I'll show you because there's there's huge ones. You're gonna be amazed. I'm gonna show you so many things.
I don't want to. Hardware store. Here we come. I don't want to. See you there.
Meet you there for lunch. K. Cool. I will be there. I'll pick you up.
Classic 97. It's Josh and Chantel. Yesterday, I took a ditch day. Yeah. I know.
Sloughing day? I was there for it. You were. You did not. You had to come to work.
Yeah. All day. I loved it. Well, good for you. I could really get used to that.
As the boys down the hall say, good for you. I was thinking yesterday. I should at least I should probably do this at least once a month. No. Not once a week.
No. Why no? As as your direct supervisor here, no. Once a month? I can't take a day once a month?
No. Bro. Bro. Don't bro your don't bro your supervisor, bro. No.
I looped Emery in on my ditch day. Uh-huh. And because she is feeling overwhelmed by school. It's ending soon. Yeah.
It's been it's been a long middle of school. It was lovely. Let me tell you what I did. I slept in. I had to move my car because I was parked behind you, so I had to get up with you at 5:30, and then I moved my car.
And I went, well, I'm up. It's awake. I could go sit on up. It's awake. Yeah.
You get it. Okay. Yeah. You were talking about doing some yoga. You were talking about watching the sunrise outside.
Yeah. Yeah. What'd you do? I went back to bed. Okay.
And that was quite lovely too because I slept in a little bit. Emery and I had plans to go to breakfast, so I woke up to go get ready to eat breakfast. But she wasn't waking up, and so I wasn't gonna wake her up if she needed to sleep in longer. So I quietly read my book and listened to the birds outside. It was awesome.
And then we met you Good for you. I know. And we met you for lunch. Right. Had lunch.
And we went shopping. And let me tell you, the mall on a weekday in the middle of the day is the best place to be. Because everybody is working. Nobody's there. I know.
Everybody is working. It was awesome. Not everybody's working because there were still a lot of cars out and about. The people that are working, deliveries, driving people around, moving moving the world. I loved it.
I love taking that day. Good for you. We went and got a treat. Yeah. I bet you did.
Did some shopping. Yeah. We made some cinnamon rolls. You did that last night. You guys made from scratch cinnamon rolls, and I am, first of all, congratulations.
I know that's something you've been wanting to do. Mhmm. Secondly, I'm excited to try 1 of those. I did not try 1 last night because I was tired, but I am ready for 1 of those when I get home from work. I'm a heat it up.
You have a homemade everything. Homemade dough, homemade, and you had to let the egg warm up. It was a whole thing. We had to let the dough rise. It was 10:30 when those things finished cooking because we did not read instructions.
I said I was tired. I went to bed. I'm gonna eat a cinnamon roll tomorrow, I said. I'm excited. These look great.
Homemade frosting and everything. I'm I'm proud of you guys. That's cool. Okay. Let's look at the calendar for next month.
No. We're not doing it. Do you think I can have a ditch day next month? You can have Monday, 27th. Enjoy it.
Wake up, classy 97. It's Josh and Chantel. Hey. Hey. In 2019 Mhmm.
There was a world record set in Los Angeles for the most people dressed as dinosaurs. How many people? They had 252. Oh, we could be that. So there was a city in Canada, Drumheller K.
Canada. It's about 70 miles northeast of Calgary. They wanted to break that world record. So they told people about it. They made the event.
They told told people about it, but they couldn't set the world record because too many people showed up. They think they had 6, 000, but officials weren't ready for that many, so they didn't get an official count. They were gonna hand out wristbands to get an you Okay. Listen. They were gonna have an official count by handing out wristbands, but they only had 3, 000 of them.
Mhmm. That would have been fine, and they could have settled for that number. But then a bunch of the T Rexes with the wristbands were seen leaving the event too early. To break the record, they all needed to stay in 1 spot for a full minute. So because some of them were leaving early, that didn't happen.
So it failed, and the record is still held by 252. Let's break it. I know. We can get 300 people dressed like dinosaurs, and we'll count them. Okay.
Yeah. But then it's gonna be broken next year by Canada because they wanna do it again next year. But for 1 minute, we will have the record, and that's what matters. That is what matters. I want it.
I wonder how many they had. They think they had 6, 000. 6000 people. Prove it. They weren't expecting that many T Rexes.
Only needs 300. If we get 6, 000, fine, but we gotta count them. All we need is 253. True. But let's aim for 300.
Okay. It's a good round number. Yeah. But we could do the price is right method. You go 1 more.
No. I understand. But also we could have 300 We could. What does 300 people dress like dinosaurs look like? And I don't know if it's specifically T rexes or just dinosaurs, but I think that I think most people are gonna show up in that blow up T rex costume.
For sure. For sure. But you could show up as any dinosaur. I think the record is dinosaurs. It's not specific t rex.
Right. That's what I'm saying. It's just dinosaurs. 300 people dressed as dinosaurs. We count them all.
We get a world record. I'm in. We got a good costume. What counts is a what like, would a dinosaur pajama onesie count? I have 4 of those.
As a dinosaur? That's what I'm saying. What determines It has a tail and spikes, and it has a face. It's a dinosaur. Does that count?
Yeah. It's Rex from Toy Story. It counts. He's a dinosaur. I agree.
It counts. 300 dinosaurs. Let's try the rules are. There are no rules. We make them up.
We get 300 people dressed like dinosaurs. That's the rules. I'm I'm in. I told you. I'm in.
That's all it takes. And then we're set. And then we're record holding. That's right. We got them made.
World record. Done. Classy 97. It's Josh and Chantal, by the way. Just real quick What's up?
To revisit our dinosaur world record. Yes. We did get a phone call, and we've got 1 person for sure in on it. So That makes sense. 3.
We only need now 297 more people to jump on board with dressing up like a dinosaur to help us get a world record. World record. Yeah. That's all it takes. 297 more people.
No big deal. Anyway Anyway Go on with your, with your next thing. He already had dinosaur outfit. I know. He's ready.
I'm just ready. I'm not ready. I have like I said, I have my, my Rex onesie, so I'm good. But what am I gonna wear? I don't you could tie this sort of costume.
So we have 2 people ready. 2 people ready at like, could do it today. Yes. We we have time, though. We gotta put it together.
Anyway, what's up? What's up? Have you seen this video? This is about a month old, so this is pretty old news. But in in Guatemala, there was a volcano erupting Uh-huh.
And it was erupting. Okay. So this this happens, and it probably was just captured. But typically, when there is a volcano eruption, a volcanic eruption Yeah. Lightning happens because it's all, highly charged particles going up into the air.
Air. So that makes sense. But lightning also travels from the ground up, not from the sky down. So it's technically coming from the volcano, technically. Okay.
Which is interesting. Well, it does say that lightning strikes on vol on volcanoes are pretty common because the ash creates a lot of static electricity. For sure. But this 1 was pretty bigger than normal. It's epic.
I've I've I've seen I've seen some videos. I don't know if I've seen this particular 1, but it's incredible when the lightning is because you have all this smoke billowing out of the top of the volcano and lightning just going everywhere. It's crazy. It looks like a looks like a Boston album cover. Boston.
Yeah. That old group? Yeah. That that old group. Yeah.
Boston. Pretty old. If a UFO cruise through, you'd be like, wow. That's a Boston cover. I hadn't seen it, and I didn't know that was a thing.
Yeah. It's fascinating. It really is cool. We're learning about science today. Now imagine you're a dinosaur or a Chantel dressed as a dinosaur.
Yeah. And we find a volcano, and we got eruption and lightning, and you're dressed as a dinosaur. What do you do? Run. Where?
Run? Yeah. In my blow up dinosaur suit. Get out of here. Get out.
The volcanoes are going off. That's what you do. You just run away? Yes. That's what I do in every situation.
That makes sense. Makes sense. Yeah. Get out of here. Would you rather this or that question of the day?
Would you rather be more patient or more confident? I feel like I'm pretty patient. You are pretty patient. I also don't necessarily lack confidence in most things. So, what's it like to meet John Connor?
Kidding. Wow. Really? Perfect. No.
That's not what I'm saying at all. I realized what it sounded like as I started talking. I I just I know I'm a very patient person. I'm 1 of the most patient people I know. This isn't getting better.
No. Stop talking about yourself. You asked what I would rather. I had to figure it out. I'm sorting it up.
I need some more confidence, I guess. I'm I'm lacking confidence. I've I could use with a lot of both, But probably, I would I'm gonna lean toward more confidence because every day I wake up and I go, oh, this is who you're gonna be today? Do better. So yeah.
I think I'm gonna I'm like, I don't know. I I really am trying to figure out. But here's the deal about my patience. I think I'm patient to a fault, so maybe it's I need I need more appropriate patience. Because, like, I I'll just, like, let things happen and go, yeah, whatever.
But it's it feels more like I'm I'm in a rush all the time. Like, I feel like that what I need is to is to settle down. I need to not be so, like, about everything. I don't think that's you at all. You don't?
Maybe that's just inside my head that that lives Yeah. That I'm like, because I'm the all the time. No. But you're outside. Yeah.
I'm inside, which is where patience lives. This has been a great conversation. Is a weird question you asked. More patient or more confident? It's pretty simple.
I got a heap and piles of both. Store them in bushes here and here. Wow. Let me know if you need to borrow some sometime. Hey.
It's Josh and Chantal, and we like to give you a, better today than yesterday daily challenge before we leave every day. And so today, your better today than yesterday daily challenge is to ask a friend what's at the top of their bucket list currently, and then compare with your own. Let's start. No. Hold on.
Here's what it says. Okay. It says, remember to really listen and ask them why something is on there, and maybe you'll be inspired in the process. Oh. I don't know what's at top of my bucket list.
Do you? Yeah. I wanna travel. I know. That's so generic, though.
No. But I wanna travel to a Caribbean island. You wanna go somewhere tropical? Yes. That's not necessarily Caribbean, but tropical.
Sure. Yeah. Is that more specific for you? Well, no. It's more generic, actually, because it could be Costa Rica or it could be Hawaii or it could be top of your bucket list.
I just said, I don't know. You don't know? I don't I don't. I just live the day. But I'm listening to what you're hearing, and as I compare it to my sort of non list, I think you, I think you got a good 1 there.
Oh, wanna come with me? Yes. Absolutely. Well, have it have it be your bucket list too. Yeah.
And then Then we'll do it. Go go 2 buckets. 2 buckets, 1 stone. And then we go and we have, I see, like, 2 birds. Yeah.
So we I get it. But also, it could be a loaf. Nate Barghetti explained this very well. And he said, why do we have to be violent? Why can't we just feed 2 birds with 1 loaf?
We can. 2 birds, 1 loaf. Right. 2 birds, 1 loaf. That's what I say now.
Thanks, Nate. Anyway, that's your better today than yesterday daily challenge. Ask a friend what's currently at the top of their bucket list and then compare with your own. And that will do it for us for today. Have a great Thursday.
Woo hoo. We'll see you tomorrow Yep. 1 day closer to prom. Yeehaw. No.
It's a twenties theme, not cowboys. Oh, I guess confused. Yeah. Maybe next year will be yeehaw. I don't know.
25th annual, though, coming up on Saturday. If you need free tickets, we'll be giving them out tomorrow and also on Saturday. So get all the details in the Classy 90 7 app, and, we'll see you tomorrow. Have a good Thursday. Bye.
