Good morning. Hey. We're back in the studio. We are back. It's already Tuesday.
I know. It's gonna be a good week. Because it's only 4 days? Yes. The weather is gonna be awesome, and here we go.
Okay. Well, today is national brisket day, and it's national hamburger day. Oh, I feel like that should have been yesterday. Well, both of these fall on world hunger day, which I think is interesting as well. Hunger is, something that affects a lot of people, even in America.
And so, it's very important that we recognize World Hunger Day and do anything we can to help maybe share a brisket or a hamburger or something on World, Hunger Day. You can also, get involved. There are different organizations Mhmm. Battling hunger, including, like, local food pantries and baskets and and those kinds of things. So, on World Hunger Day, enjoy a hamburger, some brisket, and also help someone.
That's, that's kinda what's up there. National multiple births awareness day. Oh. Like, twins and triplets Yeah. Yeah.
Quintuplets and however many. And it is Amnesty International Day as well. So there's, there's what's going on. Couple of heavy things and a burger, which could also be heavy. A brisket, which is by the pound, so that's heavy.
Different heavy. But that's what's happening today as we, kinda get closer and closer to the end of May. Like, there's crazy. Only a couple days left. I know.
And then it's June. And then we're in June. And then And then July, and then the summer's over. I know. Yeah.
I know. I was looking at our calendar the other day going, cool. Most of our weekends are already taken for the summer. It's wild. That's crazy.
Anyway, happy Tuesday. Wake up, classy 97. It's Josh and Chantel. There was a woman named Linda in Canada. She decided to take her dog, Aussie, for a walk.
Mhmm. This is in metric system. 500 meters. K. How how many miles is that?
How many miles is 500 meters? Yes. Well, tell me more of the story. 500 meters from her home, her dog picked up on not even a it's only 0.31 Okay. Miles.
It's not even half a mile. Half a mile from less than half a mile from her house. Her dog picked up a scent. Guess what it was. Wanna take a guess?
Another dog. No. A cat. 40 rotisserie chickens. What?
40 rotisserie chicken. The the dog goes outside, gets less than half a mile from home and says How does that smell? I smell 40 rotisserie chickens. Smell chicken. And then, I I assume there was this, scent of chickens that you could visibly see in the air.
Yep. And he floated on his leash towards the 40 chickens. You got it. That's how it works. Uh-huh.
And then Linda said she saw 40 rotisserie chickens. Where were they? In the woods. Behind her house. I don't know.
There was also some fries and chicken fingers. Linda said I'm worried about this smell attracting bears because we do have bears in our area. So she called the environment Yukon. That's what it's called. Yukon.
Yeah. Here to help. How what do they drive? Horses. They arrive on horses.
They picked them up, took it away. Nobody knows why there were 40 rotisserie chickens. Fries and chicken nuggets. Tenders. Same.
In the woods. Do you remember that story I told you a while ago about pasta? Like, somebody dumped out a bunch of pasta, and they think that it was uncooked. But because it had been raining, the pasta got cooked. Is all weird.
I know. Why are people just dumping food in the woods? Is a strange story. There's a this is a mystery. Solve it.
Oh, I am not A detective? Detective Yukon. Environmental Yukon. You could be, though, is the point. You could be.
How am I going to be a detective and solve the mystery of 40 rotisserie chicken? I feel like there's probably some pesky kids involved. You think? Pesky kids. And they would have gotten away with it too if it weren't for that hunting dog, Ozzie.
Ozzie. Well, weird. I know. It's totally weird. Strange strange story.
Why 40 at that? It's a lot. And now you gotta go like, okay. Were they just laying there, rotisserie, or were they in packaging? Because if they're in packaging, you could go back to the, the rotisserie Yukon and say, hey.
Who bought 40 of these, or are you missing 40 of these? Or who was cleaning out the stock and just dumped them? So many questions to be asked. Detective Yukon. It's Josh and Chantel on Classy 90 7.
Good morning. Okay. I here we are, you and me at home. This is a question for you. Okay.
We're at home Yeah. And you go, oh, I'm kinda hungry. I think I'm gonna I think I'm gonna DoorDash some food. And you ask me, do you want anything? And I say, no.
I'm not hungry. I'm okay. And you go, are you sure? And I go, yeah. I'm fine.
I'm good. Oh, I already know where this is going. Please don't order me anything. We go, okay. What do you do?
Do you order me something, or do you not order me something? You said you knew where this was going. No. I know the outcome of this is that if I don't, then you're gonna go, well, no. I'm hungry.
Because it's gonna take time Mhmm. For the delivery to arrive. Mhmm. Plus, you're gonna smell the good food, and then you're gonna go, yeah. I am hungry.
So I'm probably gonna be responsible and order something even though he told me no. And I would probably be able to figure out something that you'd eat. Yeah. Even if it's a side. I'd be like, Yeah.
Oh, I don't oh, really? You're hungry now? They're calling that the DoorDash test for relationships. Yeah. Yeah.
Guys, if your if your girlfriend or your wife or your significant other says, no. I'm okay. Don't order me anything. Order something. Order.
Even even if it's something small. Even if it's just a bean and cheese burrito, just order it just so she has some food food in her eyes. Or don't and see how that goes. No. It'll be a fun afternoon.
Oh, I did order food, and you didn't want anything, and now you're hungry. Guess you're ordering your own. And you're And now you have to wait. Guess I'm gonna eat these 3 cheeseburgers by myself. Yeah.
Not sharing my fries. Don't touch. You said you weren't hungry. Now you get it. Alright.

Bernie and Marjorie met over 9 years ago at the senior living community, and they quickly formed a special friendship enjoying each other's company. And they, did different activities together, and they were like, oh, we kinda like each other, I think.
And so, over the years, their bond deep deepened, and then recently, they surprised their family and friends with the announcement that they wanted to get married. Oh. And so the ceremony took place at the retirement home. They were surrounded by friends, family, fellow residents, and staff members. Bernie's granddaughter, her name is Saris.
She said that everyone involved was happy about their partnership, and they're excited for the happy couple to continue having fun together. I thought they were gonna go, like, on a bank robbing spree. Nope. They're just getting married. Getting hitched.
101102 years old, and, and they're like, no. We gotta we gotta gotta put a ring on it, Bernie said, and he did. So Bernie and Marjorie, congratulations. That's nice. Yeah.

That's pretty cool. It's good news to get you going on classy 97. It's Josh and Chantel on classy 97. Hey. My chin hurts still.
This is not my fault. This is absolutely your fault. This is your knee's fault. This is you were being strange No. And decided that you were gonna drop the elbow on me.
What day was this? Give her the old pile driver. Saturday morning? Yeah. And you were you were deciding that you wanted to try and Pile driver space.
Like, I was just hanging out on the bed, and you were like, pile driver. And then you I don't know what was going on, and you decided to try and drop the elbow. And and I was a bit defenseless. And so I I went, hey. Hey.
Hey. What are you doing? And you kept doing it. Yeah. And then at 1 point, as you decided to drop the elbow, your chin No.
Ran into my knee. Yeah. Yeah. You kept shoving me over. Pushing you away because you kept dropping the elbow.
Over right as you lift up up your knee at the moment that my head was going Piledriver. Down. So your knee connected with my chin. And you've been complaining about your chin for a couple days. It's tenderoni.
What did we learn? Nothing. Apparently I learned nothing. I don't know why you were trying to pile driver. Like, what what are you?
It was strange then. It's still strange now. Yeah. It's Saturday. We gotta get the day started.
Piledriver. Start out with some WWE. Yeah. I guess. It was a it was a strange decision, and your chin is paying the consequences.
I'll do it again. I would do it again right now. I know you would. I'm frightened about it. You were defenseless.
For a minute, and then I started pushing you away, and then you kept doing it. And then you knead me to the face. That is not what happened. You faced my knee. I'm lucky that my eye didn't get popped out.
What? I I don't think that's how anatomy works. But No. But you could've kneed me in the eye, and then I would've been blind. Your eye on my knee.
No. I didn't knee anything. You did. You shoved me. Knee went up right at the exact moment.
You had that was your whole plan. No. I already face. No. That is not a thing.
Now you just hurt your elbow, didn't you? No. Yeah. You're practicing for the for the next time. I don't I'm I'm an unwilling participant.
Come back with the pile driver. No. That's how bad it's gonna hurt. Did you hurt your elbow? No.
No. Didn't. You keep smacking your elbow into the counter doing the pile driver move. You're gonna smack your face on the microphone, and then you're gonna blame the microphone? Yeah.
I'm gonna blame you for putting the microphone there. I didn't do anything. Mhmm. Mhmm. It's Josh and Chantel.
So I was telling a coworker about how our crazy dog is like having a toddler. Yes. And I said, I'm too old to have a toddler. I'm too old for this crazy dog. She's too energetic.
And she said, Chatel, you're a young whippersnapper. Yeah. I said, you're right. I am. Whippersnapper.
Whippersnapper. There's a word. Who says whippersnapper anymore? That that person you were talking to for 1. Yeah.
And she's a young person. She's under 30. And she said whippersnapper, and she said it to me. Yeah. It's true.
You're a young whippersnapper. Then why do I feel like it's I'm too old to have this energetic of a dog? You'll be fine. She's making you young, bringing it out of you. That's what's really going on.
So all weekend, she told me that on Friday. So all weekend, I've been whippersnapper y. Yeah. Yeah. I've been showing my age.
Look at this whippersnapper. Showing your youth Yes. Is what you've been showing. Yes. Yeah.
Pile driving you. Yeah. Wrestling. Going for a hike. We'll talk about hiking.
We'll talk about potato sack races. We'll talk about all the fun things you've done. Whoppersnapper activities Yeah? Is what those have been. Old person don't wouldn't do that stuff.
Mm-mm. Just whippersnappers. Just young whippersnappers like you. Whippersnappers like myself. Just young whippersnappers like Chantel.
If you're a young whippersnapper, what is more of mine? I don't know. Some old man? No. Yep.
It's Josh and Chantel. Okay. We turned on Top Gun last night because we just wanted something Yeah. Not that we didn't have to pay attention to. It's such a good movie.
It is. It took you all but 5 seconds. You were busy preoccupied doing something. It took you 5 seconds to look up. I thought it would take less than that.
The 5 seconds is still pretty quick, but I said Oh, I can hear what it was this second I heard it. I said he's gonna hear the music and know what it is, but I wanted to see how long it would take for you to look up at the screen. Mhmm. 5 seconds. Okay.
I'm watching this movie going, how do they practice landing fighter planes on aircraft carrier carriers? How do they practice this? Very first time somebody was like, we're gonna land on a boat. I mean, I guess they have simulators. Right?
Well, now, but not when they first invented aircraft carriers and said, we're gonna put airplanes on this, Somebody had to go, I'm gonna land on that Yeah. In an airplane? It's moving. I'm moving. And I'm gonna speed up before I stop?
What? I know. I know. There has to be early footage of that, like military footage of how many boats went in the ocean? Release to boats sorry.
How many airplanes ended up in the ocean? Released to the public? I don't know. I don't know if they do. I mean either.
I just I'm curious how they practiced, how the how they the first planes ever landed. How do they practice that? It's trial and error. Good luck. Yeah.
There you are in the sky. Land on this floating ship. Mhmm. And don't goof up. And don't end up in the ocean.
Right. And, also, don't run over anybody standing on the aircraft carrier. Yeah. That that too. That's really important.
Don't overshoot, but don't undershoot. Get it just right. And we're gonna use a cable for brakes. I know. Great.
So Good idea. Let's try why you have to throttle up when you land because if you if you're going too slow, you won't be able to take back up back off. And so you have to throttle up when you land so that if you miss the hook, you can take back off it. Oh my gosh. Yeah.
No. Thank you. I just wanna I just wanna know how the first one's practiced. Carefully. Because they have a simulation now.
Right? They have to. Yeah. But a flight simulator only gets you so far. You gotta you gotta get into the airplane and actually do the thing.
Terrifying. Yeah. Going very fast. Going so fast. Yeah.
But then they started making it so the planes could land, like, sort of helicopter style. Not all of them, but some of them can land. Really? Oh, yeah. I'm sure that's just as terrifying landing that.
You still have to get it precise. Oh, yeah. Definitely. Yeah. No.
There's absolutely, a A finesse? Yes. And a thin margin of error. Yeah. Saturday night, you were asleep.
I was just lounging about watching a movie. K. Beck was out with some friends. Yeah. And he's texting, hey.
Can they come over and have a sleepover? And I didn't respond right away. And then we get a text in our family group from Emery at the 14 year old who's like, whose house? Yeah. Yeah.
Your house or their heart? Our house or their house? And Beck responds, wherever. We're not sure yet. Yeah.
We're not sure yet. And she says, figure it out. Figure it out. And I start laughing. You wake up, and you're like, what's going on?
I go, Emery's just being the mom. Oh, she had right before that too, had put the dog to bed, locked the door Yeah. Set the alarm. Shut the house down. I was like, this is fantastic.
Yep. Just laying there in bed, like, relaxing. She's taking care of the animals. She's shutting the house down. Yeah.
It started with I mean, this is, like, 1050 is when this first text comes in from Beck, and he says, are you guys still up? And Emery, right away, yeah. Why? I think dad's asleep, but mom might be up. That's 4 different text messages, like, immediately.
And he's like, yeah. You know, we wanna have a sleepover. And she's like, here? And he says, I don't know. Just find out.
He says, it depends on what mom says. And you just replied wherever. Yeah. I don't care. 1 word.
And then everybody's like, make sure to arm the system. And he's he's I did. She's like, sweet. I'm going to bed. Good night.
And then you said good night. I'm asleep by this point. Right? Long time. And, and then she's like, are you not having a sleepover?
What's the deal? And he's like, yeah. Yeah. Everybody's here. He's like, oh, I thought I heard you go into your room.
End of the night. End of the night. End of the night. But I'd appreciate it. I didn't have to do any of my mom job.
No. She was on it. It was fantastic. I know. Because for for a while, we were laughing in the in the room just right next door going like, well, this is being taken care of.
This is totally being taken care of. Thanks for putting the dog to bed. Thanks for locking the house. Taking care of the boy. Yeah.
Making sure the boy comes home. I was like, I'm gonna have to stay up and wait for him, you know, because that's what parents do. She's got it. She's got it under control. Handled it.
Yeah. Make sure to set the alarm. I'm not getting out of my room. Yeah. Exactly.
You tag, you're in. Yeah. Yeah. That was great. Charge.
She took care of business. She did. So well done, Emery. I loved it. Wipe my hands with this mom thing.
Classy 97. It's Josh and Chantel. Hi. Update on the potato sack race. Yes.
It happened. It did happen. I found some potato sacks. This is something that happened on Friday. You were you were looking over pieces of imaging, which is stuff that you build in between commercials.
Right. And 1 of them had said, we love getting together for a barbecues and a big family potato sack race. And I said, what? No 1 has ever done that. Well, we have now.
Well, yes. We live in Idaho, home of potatoes. Yeah. You'd think that it was easy to find some potato sacks, but it wasn't as easy as it It was easy enough that you took care of it that day. I did.
I was able to that it was that hard. It wasn't that tricky. I was able to procure 4 potato sacks, 1 for each of the members of my family. Yes. I told the kids I thought they'd be excited about it.
They weren't as excited about the potato sack race as I was. Initially. They were excited by the end of it. Yeah. They were laughing.
They were having a good time. It was hilarious. It was hilarious. And then they did a second heat. They liked it so much.
They didn't wanna get out of the potato sauce. But I got some video, and I and I don't wanna share the whole video. I just wanna take a little snippet of what do you call hopping? Well. Well, because we were done with the race before you started is kinda how it went.
It. How it was I was afraid that I was gonna fall. Legit. Wanna fall. So I was nervous about hopping.
Also, I felt kind of close. Like you were in a potato set. I felt claustrophobic. Even, like, the people next to me, Beck was standing next to me. I felt it was too close, and I was like, I'm never gonna hop next to Beck.
So here's here's what happened. You get in 1 foot at a time Yeah. As you do. Everybody gets into a potato sack 1 foot at a time. Right?
We're all human. 1 1 leg at a time. And it only comes up to here, to your waist. So you have to hold the sack. Yep.
Then you have to have your feet equal distance apart, and then you have to hop both feet Yeah. To pro to propel yourself forward. Yes. Is that is that correct? Accurate.
When you got into yours, when did you decide, I'm gonna do this walk thing? Because it's hilarious. When I thought I could jump with both feet and then went, oh, this is harder than you think it's gonna be. Yeah. Like, I'm I'm watching the video right now, and I'm gonna I'm gonna share it just a part of you wandering.
I was because we're done. You look like an old cowboy walking. I was also laughing so hard because it's hard to move. I know. And then you tried to hop Yeah.
But it was more like a right foot, left foot, right foot, left foot. I'm I'm good at a lot of things. Potato sack racing is not 1 that I'm good at. My favorite is when you first appear on here, you look like an old cowboy walking into the street. I'm here for the duel.
That's my favorite. That's the part of the video I wanna share is you wandering forward. Hey. I'm with the potato sack race. Having a race?
Yeah. New sheriff in town. Sam Elliott over here wandering into the scene. Yeah. Yeah.
What's going on here? That's what you look like. Classy 97. It's Josh and Chantel. We have a lovely 3 day weekend.
I I've been fighting for this 4 day week, 4 day work week, 3 day weekend. Mhmm. I haven't been really fighting for it. I just talk about it a lot. Yeah.
You do. I'm fighting for it. You've been you've been fighting about it. Wasn't that amazing, the 3 day? Yeah.
Like, we spent Saturday doing some graduation parties for some family members, so we've got to see some family. We spent yesterday enjoying the outside and the outdoors. Relaxed Sunday. Sunday, we did absolutely nothing. It was nice.
We just hung around. It was windy and blustery and not great weather, and so we we saved all of that for yesterday and then went on our hike and all that stuff. So, yeah, it was it was it was a good well spent weekend. I feel perfectly refreshed. Well, good.
Although, on Sunday, when we did nothing Yeah. Did you ever have feelings of guilt like you should be doing something? Like, when I say we did nothing, we did nothing. Yeah. Nothing.
Nothing productive that is. Right? We watched a movie. Yeah. We hung out.
Laid back. Right. Read a little bit. Yeah. It was a lazy day, which is what every weekend should have.
A full on lazy day. I know. It was perfectly perfect. Yeah. That's not I did do some laundry so that Oh.
I was a little dare you. I was a little productive. On no. On no day? Could you?
On do nothing day, you did something? But it was hard for me not to feel guilty. No. And think of all the shoulds. I should.
I should do this. I should be doing this. Yeah. Should be doing this. When we were, getting getting out and about yesterday Mhmm.
And we were headed toward the trailhead Mhmm. There was a whole family, like, cutting trees and mowing the lawn and raking and doing all this, and I went, bleh. I am so glad I'm not doing that. Me too. So, no, I don't feel guilt for taking a rest day.
Yeah. But then the house looks the way it does. House looks fine. It looks fine. Doesn't look You worry too much about the house the way it looks.
Who cares? Do you live there? I should have weeded is what I'm saying. Oh, yeah. Go weed the flower beds.
That's a fun time. It's not. That's why I didn't do it. Now I feel guilty. Well, stop it.
I don't feel an ounce. None. 0. Forget about it. I'm done.
I've moved on. Alright. Me too. Totally fine. No.
Your eyebrows tell a different story. Classy 97. It's Josh and Chantel. We're enjoying the sunset last night on our patio. Uh-huh.
And I hear you exclaim rather excitedly, first 1 came on. Yep. 2nd 1 came on. And I go, what are you talking about? It's the patio lights that you installed a couple of years ago.
They're just on the fence. They're solar powered. Right. And you love them so much. Look.
You get so excited about them. They're cool. They are cool. They are cool. And it looks, it looks super good.
I like how the backyard looks and, and watching the sunset sitting on the, on the deck on the back of the house and, and just kinda hanging out. And, we have a little, fire pit thing that sits right there on the on the little table. Like, it's the greatest thing ever. It is the greatest thing ever. Just sitting there, and I'm watching the the fence lights come on and all the ones by the flower bed.
And I'm like, this is great. It's simple. It's easy. It makes me happy. It does.
I didn't realize those patio lights made you so happy, but pretty great. They do look pretty great. And you get so excited about them. And I'm so excited that you get so excited. I've never seen anyone else get that excited about patio lights.
It's adorable. Well, aw, shucks. Just over here being adorable. And Josh and his patio lights. Yep.
Simple. It's just a simple thing, and I like it. It's Josh and Chantel. Are you ready to talk about our hike? I am.
Because, for a couple of years, I have had a hike on my list of hikes I wanna do. I have more, but that 1 has been, staring at me for a couple of years. And I finally was like, you know, we need some more to go. I bet we can get there, and, and we did. And so we got to go hike in the woods, and we got to go see some waterfalls, and we got to see some nature and a deer and people on, ATVs and UTVs and a You got called road Jeep group.
Yeah. You got called Woodland Willie. Now why did I get called Woodland Willie? Emery called you that. Yep.
She, why did she call you that? Well, she determined, first of all, that I am more outgoing in the woods than I am, in, like, the store. She said, you won't just go talk to people at the store, but you just walk up to people and talk to them in the woods. Most people are like that. People in the woods are a little bit nicer sometimes.
Maybe. There's a different I don't know. I don't know if it is. I what what happens, I saw a family. They were trying to take a picture, and I said, would you like me to take a picture for you and get everybody in the 1?
You know? And they were like, no. That's okay. And then I noticed they were wearing fly fishing gear, and so I had a fly fishing conversation with them. And I was explaining that, and Emery just said, you're so much more outgoing.
You wouldn't do that to somebody in the store. But you would. I probably if if I was interested. Yeah. I mean, I specifically wanted to know if he'd been fishing in the area and if it was any good, if it was worth my time to try and fish or not.
And so I I was talking fishing. Yeah. But I guess that makes me I guess that makes you Woodland Willy. Yeah. I thought maybe I just knew stuff.
Like, maybe I was just because I was outdoors. And maybe that's true because you navigated our way to the hike and from the hike. If I was navigating, I woulda gotten us lost. So navigating, being outdoorsy and friendly, taking pictures of the woods. Woodland Willie.
Seeing the deer. I did see the deer. You saw the deer first. Yeah. Well, the the deer saw me first, to be fair.
I don't think it did. No. I don't either. It was it was just bounding across, and I caught it out of the corner of my eye. I went, there's a deer.
And Emery and the dog were up the up the trail a little bit, but, they got to see, though, as well. It was it was a big deer. And that's And that's how you got your nickname Woodland Willie. And, I tried to take pictures with Emery. You were across the pond.
Yeah. And so I've got a couple of pictures because you guys were having a conversation for 1. Mhmm. It looked very serious. It did.
It was. I was quite a ways away, and I was using the big zoom lens, and taking pictures of you guys. And then, yeah, at some point, you high fived, which was cool. I got that. I got a picture of the high 5.
And then you were trying to convince her to do, like, a half heart thing with your arms across the woods from where I was taking the picture. She was not having it. She was not into it. Which I'm I don't blame her. It was a little strange.
No. I used every pride trick in the book. Yeah. How'd it go? She was not having any of it.
Look. You eventually got her to kinda do it, but it was not a hardship. Oh, it had a hard time. Forget it. Like, here's my hand.
Whatever. And then later, you didn't catch this bit, but later, we were walking through the path by the rocks, and then you were gonna take another picture of us. And I kneeled down and put my elbows on the rock. I saw that. She she refused to do that too.
Yeah. It's embarrassing in the woods. I know there's nobody around. We're the only ones here. Anyone could see.
You don't know who's in the hide behinds? A silly picture with my mom? Yeah. No. Rose.
I will tell you. I did get a text from her. Uh-huh. Let me pull this up. Okay.
Because she wanted a copy of some of the pictures, and she said, hey. Can you send me the picture of me and mom and Luna? I like that picture. Oh. I know.
I know. That's adorable. Anyway She does like me. My teenager does like me. It's Josh and Chantel.
You know how they say you shouldn't, go to bed angry if you have a dispute with your significant other? Mhmm. And this is where you go, we already talked about this. We did already talk about this. We didn't.
I just I wanted to start that way because, apparently, relationship experts say that you should start journaling when you're upset with your significant other. Oh. Right. So it gives you a chance to let your feelings out on paper rather than at your partner. It can also bring some clarity to how you're feeling.
The author of this particular, research says that 1 of the biggest ways journaling can transform your marriage is by giving you a safe space to understand and heal your triggers before projecting them on your partner. Many marriage arguments happen because couples don't take the time to process their own emotions before sharing them with their spouse. By journaling on your feelings and triggers, you'll be able to get to the root of what you're feeling, and you can then communicate your raw emotional truth to your partner instead of projecting blame onto them. If you do this, you must never tell me that you're doing this, or you have to hide your journal in a very, very top secret location. Because I'll write, like, horrible things.
Like, I can't believe she did it. She's already not. She looked at me. No. She was dropping the people's elbow and then hit her chin and blamed it on me.
I just feel like if I know that you're writing in a journal, especially if you're mad at me, then I'm gonna find it, and I'm gonna be like, I gotta know what he said. I have to know what he said. What's wrong with you? So many things. Where do you want me to begin?
From the beginning? Yeah. Let's Let's start. Start at the top. I was born I just thought that was an interesting approach because that that's, that's smart.
Like, taking time to process is hard. It's hard to do. It's hard to be on the receiving end of it. It's hard to be the person who's like, okay, something's up something's upset. But I don't wanna react and and lash out.
So I'm just gonna process. I'm gonna I'm gonna feel this. I'm gonna try to understand, and then I'm gonna form a sentence. Again, fine. If you have a journal, that's fine.
If you need to write down like, you do. You have a little bit of a sketchbook, and sometimes you write down different things, or you did at 1 point. Yeah. You'd carry it around, especially if we were camping in the outdoors. And you'd be like, I'm just gonna go write because you're an excellent writer.
Oh, thank you. If you ever specifically say, I'm keeping this journal Oh, I understand. And I write down things when I'm mad at you. I'll be like, great. Where is it?
I have this, this little book. I write down all the things that I'm upset about just for you. Just for me. Yeah. Fantastic.
Else that goes in there except for when you make me mad and how I feel about it. Show me where it is right now. I don't think I will. Classy 97. It's Josh and Chantel.
There's this new study from the Pew Research Center. Okay. And they found out that, 38% of the web pages that existed in 2013 are gone. Woah. The Internet, purges things, and and a lot of things are automatic.
Like, when you post a blog or, even tweets. Like, stuff from Twitter is, being removed. Like, 20% of tweets disappear from the site within months of being posted. Who's deleting them? Well, there's always so much storage.
And so over time, things just get deleted. Things that don't get used, things that, you know, whatever, become abandoned. Okay. URLs that don't renew. People don't continue to upkeep the websites.
They don't continue to pay for them. It just disappears. Okay. So what's bad about this like, that's fine. Whatever.
Old Internet. See you. But what's bad about it is that the vast amounts of news and important reference content are disappearing. And because, we've been led to believe that stuff stays on the Internet forever Yeah. It's actually not necessarily totally true.
So because it isn't forever. It's for a long time. I mean, we're talking about 11 years of stuff that is falling off, but that's weird. Fascinating. I never would have thought about that.
Yeah. I think it's like an endless, vast of stuff. Right. You and your sister had a craft blog for a while. We did.
Is it still there? Do I even remember? I have no idea. But my point is you quit upkeeping it. There's a good chance that you used an old email.
They were getting ready to get rid of that particular service that you were using. This is decades ago. This is forever ago that you and your sister were doing that. Yeah. Oh, yeah.
And so there's a good chance that's completely gone and doesn't exist anymore. I might have to look and see. I couldn't even tell you what the website was. I know. Was it a blog spot?
I think it was a blogspot. Vlogger? Yeah. Something No. Vlogger.
I can't remember. Anyway, the point is, the Internet is not forever, and, a lot of stuff that was there 11 years ago is gone already. Shocking. I know. It's Josh and Chantel with your would you rather this or that question of the day.
Would you rather hear a ding sound every time you wink, ding, or a pew pew sound every time you make a finger gun, Ding or pew pew. How often do you I don't wink. I don't wink or pew pew gun finger guns, very often, but I feel like I do pew pew fingers less than I wink. Wink ding. I think I like the winky ding.
What do you like? I like the ding too. Ding. Yeah. And a nod.
Order up. You have to wink and nod. Ding. Yeah. I'm taking that 1.
Me too. I don't need pew pews. Pew pew. Yeah. Would you rather just do that with Josh and Chantel?
Classy 97. It's Josh and Chantel. Alright. Your better today than yesterday daily challenge is to leave a note of encouragement on someone's car. Oh.
Yeah. It's kind of a cool thing. It's a small compliment or a note of encouragement, and it might be just what somebody needs. You could just say, hey. You're doing fantastic.
Or you could, say, you look great today or something simple. It's it's just a really nice note that you leave behind for somebody to find as a surprise. Okay. I love this idea. And for the past 2 Christmases, I've had this idea to do with candy canes.
Like, you deliver a nice note and candy canes, and you put them on somebody's car. I haven't done it because I'm too afraid that I'm gonna be in the process process of putting the note on somebody's car, and they're gonna come out and be, what are you doing? Or I'm gonna touch the car and set off an alarm, and then every is gonna be like, what are you are you trying to break into that car? No. I'm just trying to leave a nice note.
So I'm too I'm too anxious to do that challenge. I think it would be fun if you got caught, and your solution was run away. No. That makes you look guilty. Hold on.
I'm a put you in a potato sack, and then you go do this. And then I'll just watch from afar as you get busted and try to scurry away in your Yeah. Potato sack. What are you doing? And what are you doing in a potato sack?
Merry Christmas. I'm here, you weirdo. It's a good 1. That's your better today than yesterday daily challenge. That's gonna do it for us.
