Full show transcript:

Hey, Josh. What's up? Hey. Hey. What's up?

What happened today? What's going on? What's happening? What's happening? What?

What's happening? What's happened? What's what's up? What's up? What's happened?

What are you talking about? I don't know. It's Tuesday, May 6. Okay. And We need some new studio chairs.

Yeah. Your chair first thing this morning. I like when we, when we open it up and it's sort of an improv situation, and we're just making stuff up and talking. It's real. And you're, getting shorter and shorter and shorter, and then you just disappeared.

I couldn't even see you. I know. I couldn't see you. It wasn't even like you're in the room with me. It was weird.

I mean, from right now, like, normal, I see just your eyes. Yeah. But the eyes tell a story, don't they? They're the store they're the link to the soul. Yours kinda look dead.

I'm just kidding. What? I'm just kidding. We do need new chairs. Hey.

What to do with 70,000 drumsticks? Not drumsticks. Dum dums. How did that happen? What to do with 70,000 drumsticks?

I'm trying to see if there's there's not even the word sticks nearby. Like, dum dums, I can see where you pulled drum from. Dum, dum, drum, drum. But dum dums is there's no sticks. They're know.

I mean, they're sucker sticks. Maybe you were thinking about the sticks on the dum dums. I don't know, Josh. I don't my brain is broken. Okay.

It's okay. You were made fun of as a kid and again as an adult. Today. Today? Who made fun of you today?

Let's see. Who's in the room? Oh, I didn't do it to myself. You made fun of me. We made fun of each other.

I said one nice thing. No. You did not. I said a lot of nice things. You did not.

I said so many nice things. I did not. You you say there's nothing fun in the trailer parts store. No. No.

You drove around in the rain listening to sad music like it was high school all over again. It was sad music. It was just slow music. And I was just contemplating. It's just me and my thoughts.

Depressing. In the rain. It was I liked it. It was quiet. We we learned a little bit about how long it takes to do a mundane thing.

Right. We need a new can opener. And we the one that I researched was recommended by friends. I think I might have found the best cannel. The best one.

30 dollars, though, for a can. But you'll buy it once for life. Lifetime. Remember when mom took the phone off the hook to avoid the phone calls from church people? The busiest days for different professions?

Yes. Our front yard is just as green as the neighbors. It's gonna be greener because I'm getting him to do it. I'm getting the neighbor to do our lawn. And a huge, huge, giant thank you to our teachers.

Yeah. It's a it's a big deal. Teachers' appreciation week and teachers' day today. Thank you, teachers. We are Josh and Chantel.

We had teachers growing up, and we still have teachers today. Yeah. We do. This is Wake Up Classy 97, the podcast. Hope you enjoy today's show.

Goodbye. Goodbye? No. It's just getting started. Thanks for listening.

Thanks for listening. Hi. Hello. What's up? Oh, hey.

What's going on? Oh, nothing. What's going on with you? I'm sinking. Oh, no.

Your chair. I listen. Let me tell you. I have asked. I have I have it in my meeting for the past few weeks.

Okay. Can we get can we get new chairs in here? Uh-huh. And How how low does it go? It's all the way down.

Is that it, or is it still going? It's still going. No way. Yeah. Wait.

Oh, yeah. There goes the rest of your head. You're waving. See you. So the the hydraulic, jet ram thing that holds your chair up tall because these are like drafting chairs that we have.

Yeah. Yours you're completely gone. I can't even see a part of you. Yeah. I know.

I feel like a I hear you. Little kid on the But I can't see you. Yep. You feel like a little kid on a what? On a I don't know.

Just a little kid at a table that's too high. Oh, I see. Because the studio is like a standing height desk. Oh, there you are. Hi.

It fixed my chair. Welcome back. And, and so yours tends to just sink every once in a while. Right now and then. How often?

I mean, it's been if I feel like it's been a minute. A couple times a week. Is that right? Yep. Yep.

Yep. Well, I'm glad we captured this one in real time. So now I can say, hey. Listen. This is what happened on the show.

On the show. It's impacting the show. Look. We can't even talk about anything else because of this chair. Yeah.

And then my chair It is a job hazard. I can't I can't do my job the way it needs to be done because I don't have the proper equipment. I do the best with what I've got. Yeah. So and you've got shaky arms on your chair.

Like, they are Oh, yeah. And I've tightened them. This one, especially the left one. They're shaky. I kinda feel like that's my fault.

Oh, do you? Because the chair was brand new when you got here. It's not your fault. And then, it leans a little bit. You gotta lean to yours.

I don't know if it's a forward lean. There's a weird I've never noticed a lean. Sometimes I go sit over there just for fun. I notice a lean. It's because you miss me?

Yeah. That's why I gotta go sit in her chair. I miss you too. No. Sometimes I just like to see what you see.

And? I don't care for it. Why? I like what I see. I've got way more fun stuff on this side.

I don't like that side. I've got all the buttons, all the things, all the Bells and whistles. I got too many computer monitors. It's wild over here. But, anyway, my chair has a a tear in the arm, so there's, like, foam exposed.

I don't care for that. I know. And every once in a while, if, you know, a few times a week, it crumbles a little bit more. And my pad, like, I have no pad. I'm sitting on, like, a board.

The lap of luxury there. I just chairs are not that expensive. I feel like we could spring for a couple of new ones. Yeah. That's all.

I'll keep bringing it up in my notes. I keep saying, hey. Hey. You know what'd be great? I've got a little money in the budget.

I'm sure of it. For a chair? Couple. Or two? Man, what would we do if we had a couple chairs?

We have a third microphone in here. Not that we often have a third person, but might be nice to have a third chair Yeah. It would. Just in case. Yeah.

It would. Never know. If you if if you had a third person, who would you have over there? Who would I have? Yeah.

Anybody? Yeah. Living or dead. Benjamin Franklin. Why is it always bench?

Benny Franks. I gotta get Benny Franks in here. That was really just the first name that popped into my head. That's an interesting thing that Benny Franks is the one that comes up all the time. Old Benny Franks.

Wouldn't he have a lot to contribute to the conversation? I bet he would. I know he was a thoughtful person, but was he a big speaker? I don't I don't know. Yeah.

You might be like, he just might climb up behind the microphone. Like, I don't talk much. Weird. Sorry. Who would you have as a third person?

Well, you know, I mean, what would they what would they contribute? That's the that's the probably the bigger question is what what do what's the show missing that we could use more of? Nothing. That's what I'm saying. It's great.

It's not missing anything. Good answer. Perfect as is. It's a perfect answer. There was a second grader in Kentucky who ordered 30 cases of dum dums from Amazon.

That's, how many in a case? There were 70,000 total suckers. No way. What are you gonna do with that? Did he do this, at home?

I guess it's on on Yeah. On his mom's phone. Did he just oh, he did it on the phone, or did he did he do it on a smart speaker? He did it on his mom's phone. Oh, man.

The woman said called, contacted Amazon and said, hey. Yeah. What am I supposed to do about this? And they said, oh, that's fine. Don't accept the package when it arrives.

K. And we'll take them all back. And she said, they've already arrived. Yeah. And then they said, oh, we can't take them back.

And she said, what? So she contacted her bank Yeah. Tried to dispute the charge. Much did it cost? $4,000.

Oh, dude. No way. So then she reached out to a bunch of news sources and then people in her community. And then maybe because Amazon was getting some heat from all of this, they said, we'll refund you your money. Yo.

Then she tried to sell them all. So she reached out to a bunch of people were contacting her saying, I'll buy a box. Okay. I'll take a box. So I don't know if she sold them all or refunded them.

Whatever the case, she doesn't have any. I don't know if the second grader even got one. I hope he got to keep at least one. Man. Second grade, you're like seven.

This is like a that he knew what he was doing. And did he think he wanted that many? Did he need 70,000 I think he probably just didn't know what he was doing. Maybe he was just pushing buttons. Yeah.

What does he think? He's a bank teller window? Why does he need that many? You don't need that many. There's each box, each case has about 2,300 suckers.

So she got 30 cases Yeah. Which means It's 70,000. 70 thousand lollipops. That's not that's nuts. For $4,000.

Man. I'm looking at this picture of them all stacked up on her front porch. There's a lot of dum dums, bruh. I'm trying to figure out what you could do with them. Like, my my mind is reeling about what you could do with all of them.

If you get a bunch of Kleenexes, you could make little ghosts. I'm not gonna spend the time to make dumb dumb ghosts and then hang them in the tree a little bit. Exactly. Oh. Little two eyes with a Sharpie.

What else would you make, The suckers. I don't know. That's what I was trying to figure out. I know that I've seen I've seen, people do, like, a pegboard because you can you can stick them in the little pegs. Okay.

But I'm trying to figure out what what then. Exactly. What now? And they'll take, they'll take a marker, and they'll color on the bottom of the stick, and maybe you pull out a certain color that equals a prize. Oh, have a carnival in your house.

That's what I'm saying. Neighborhood carnival. With 70,000. That's that's so many. I still so many.

I'm just giving my money back. I'd rather have my $4,000 than 30 cases of dum dums. Also, $4,000 Unreal. Dum dums? Unreal.

Dumb dumb. They were like, we got we got money all of a sudden. Yes. Make more. Good news.

To get you going today, this is a fun little story. 90 year old Barbie Keel. She's from Sussex, England. And, this story is super, super cool. For the past fifty four years, again, she's 90.

For the past fifty four years, she has dedicated her life to rescuing animals in need Oh. Which is cool. She has saved an estimated 10,000 animals Really? From neglect, abuse, and abandonment through her sanctuary Oh. Which is really cool.

She began in the seventies, with a simple favor for a soldier. She was asked to care for a soldier's dog while he was stationed in Northern Ireland, and that dog never left. And soon, Barbie was asked to take in a few cats. And decades later, her sanctuary now spans 12 acres. It's the home to more than 600 animals.

This is absolutely something that your mom I know. She's got a 60 cats, a hundred chickens, 80 rabbits, 16 pigs, eight dogs, and six horses on this land. She spent the first twenty years running the sanctuary entirely by herself. She now has a team of dedicated volunteers who help with the animals, but she is still very much involved. She wakes up at 7AM every day to go out, care for the animals.

She never takes a day off. She says it's hard work, but then I get a little nose boop or a face peering up at me, and I remember exactly why I'm doing this. My animals come first and always will. That's nice. Isn't she awesome?

She is awesome. Ninety years old. She's been doing this for fifty four years, taking care of these animals. That's her life's dedication. Yeah.

It's amazing. Your mom. She's a very good person. Your mom and her could be besties. Yeah.

Yeah. For sure. If if your mom doesn't have her own animal sanctuary soon, she could go work on this one. That's true. You're gonna have to move to England, but, but there is a home waiting for you.

That's pretty awesome. So, anyway, well done for, Barbie. She's, That's nice. She's doing good news stuff out there. So keep it up.

Good job. Tell me about the glasses you wore. Alright. So when I was a kid, I had, the nerdiest glasses that you can imagine. They were either gold or silver.

Most of the times, mine were silver, brass, or something like that. They were they were they were fancy metal. Rich. Nope. And, they were probably the least expensive pair, that they sold.

And, they had that nerd bar between the lenses. So you have the the lenses and the arch that goes over your nose and then this bar that's welded across the top so you can look like, you know, an eight year old scientist. And it does not come with any kind of cool lab coat or anything. It's just these glasses. Easy.

Because here's the deal. My friends also had the same glasses. So tab. Because we were all geeks, and it was awesome. So, that's the story about those.

Here's the more troubling news is that, our daughter would like to order new glasses, and she's looking online, and she's like, I want these. Those. And I said, what? I had those. It looked like Dwight Schrute.

Yeah. What are these? That is exactly what she wants, which is funny to me because she's stylish. I know. Her daughter's got some really good style.

Apparently, it's in style. Yeah. I I don't think it is, but what do I know about fashion? What do I know? I know nothing about fashion.

I keep getting pounded every day. Have you ordered those yet? Go ahead. Are you serious? Yeah.

She's bugging you about it? Every day. I I just know that I was, pretty ridiculed for them. Aw. You know, to be fair, at least I'm looking at them.

I just googled engineer glasses because that's what they look like, and that's what they are. They they came up. You know, honestly, they kind of they could have been cool. If they would have gone with, like, an aviator shaped lens, I could have gotten away with they're just aviator glasses because they kinda look like that. But engineer safety I just put engineer glasses, and then if you look in the images, like, the second one comes up, engineer safety glasses.

Now I didn't have the clear wings, but I kinda wish I did. Do you see them? No. I get, like okay. I get, like, steampunk goggles.

No. Quit looking at that. That's what pulled up. You did an image, sir. Yeah.

I see what you're seeing. The very first result. Engineer safety glasses with the little protectors on the side. No. Those are terrible.

The protectors? Those keep the wind out. It turns them into sort of goggles. And you wanted those? No.

No. I didn't want that. I'm just telling you, it had to have been a situation. Well, listen. And they also they they that increases their durability.

I was gonna say those are pretty enforced. And I was a guy who would fall asleep with his glasses on so he could see his dreams. So, it's important. It's important that they could hold up through a night's sleep because I would always forget to take them off. I'd fall asleep with them on all the time.

And so I'm sure that there was there was probably I had something stylish originally, and then they got broken way too fast. And so after that, it was like, look. These things are expensive, and insurance only covers one of these a year. So we're gonna have to get something that's gonna last at least a whole year. Stability.

And, this is what we went with. Beck didn't have those glasses, but, there was one here that Beck broke four different pairs of glasses. Same reason, though. Because he'd fall asleep in him. He still sleeps in his glasses.

I know. And if you roll on your, on your pillow with your glasses on, the hinge bends the wrong way. They get all smooshed on your face. Yep. And, yeah.

How many years did you wear those glasses? I I got glasses the last day of second grade is when I went to pick them up. So the very last day of second grade is when I, I wore glasses to school the first time. I didn't And I felt nerdy. Oh, did you get sad about it?

Well, it was the last day of school, so at least there was that. And then I got the whole summer, and then it was okay when I came back. I'd forgotten that I even had them by then Yeah. Right. Which was fine.

But that first day, I was like, here we go. Oh. But I could see the chalkboard, so that's important. That is important. I didn't get glasses.

I didn't have to get glasses till I was a senior in high school. But I remember I didn't think that I needed them until I put them on, and I went, oh. I can see everything. Look at those leaves. So much detail.

Everything's not a blur. I don't know how long I had been blind for. Your whole life up until your senior year of high school. My parents hated me. Oh, child neglect over here?

Maybe. Aw. Poor thing. Get this girl some glasses so you can see any of those lions testing screenings. Yeah.

Oh, they did that, like, yearly. I know. How come nobody told me I was blind? Bringing the machine with the hot air balloon and stuff? Yeah.

Yeah. Yeah. I know all about that. Oh, that's it. Go, you need glasses.

And then I would say, I'm not don't tell my mom. Nobody tell my mom. I don't want them. I know I gotta look cool. Yeah.

Hide my cool looking face. Anyway, I don't know. I don't understand why all of the nineties fashions and all of the things that we've lived through are back. Me either. And then they wanna make it cool.

Like Yeah. No. Oh, no. This is a cool accessory. Stop it.

Stop it? Indeed. Ew. Ew. Ew.

I had those. Ew. You made me go into the trailer store. Yeah. I had to get some things.

Yeah. Not the place that sells trailers. No. The one that sells the parts for the trailers. Why?

That's the worst store. It is the worst. That's the worst store? There's nothing fun in there to look at. Nothing.

I had Emery with us. She goes, what is this store? Said Had she never been in there before? She had, but she was like, there's nothing in here to look at. There's everything to look at.

What are you talking about? That could be fun. It's got, like, supplies. Like, not just supplies, but, like, cooking supplies. So you can look at fun stuff.

So I went down that aisle. Yeah. Well, nothing exciting down here. Done. I was done in that store the minute I walked in.

I was looking for, water filter washers. So, you know, big deal, for for the trailer. Yeah. So I had to go to the trailer store. Because we got the trailer out of storage.

Woo woo. I know. Yeah. And I and I was de winterizing, and I'd forgotten that I didn't have that little, screen, washer for the water filter. And so when I hooked up the hose, it sprayed me in the face.

No. And I went, wait a minute. Oh, no. I forgot. I borrowed one of those.

Sprayed you in the face without the winterizing No. No. No. Chemical? With the water, the hose.

I hooked the hose up to the water filter, and it because it didn't have a washer in there, it sprayed me in the face. I see. I I said, oh, yeah. I last time we went camping, I had to borrow one from my dad, and I'd forgotten that I needed to do that. And so when I hooked it up and it sprayed me in the face, it was a refreshing reminder that I needed to go get washers for that.

I don't know why I had to go with Pete on that trip. To hang out? I don't like that store. It's boring to me. I'm sure there's we had other errands.

That's why. We stopped there on the way to go out. Place. Was a treat involved? Daddy would not have gone to that store without a treat promise.

Listen. And I mean no offense to that store. I'm sure there's plenty of people who enjoy that place. You like that place. Yeah.

They have everything. You could build an entire trailer from the ground up. You could. They have every part. There's nothing for me to look at there.

Nothing. What do you what do you tell the kids? Fun is what you make it? Fun is what you make it. I tried.

Have as much fun as you want if you make it fun. I did try to make it fun. No. You did. I looked at the fun things, and then I went, I gotta get out of here.

I was making my own fun. I know. And I didn't even get to wander the aisles and look at all the other things. And then you were telling you were telling Emery, you said, you know, I hate shopping. I hate shopping.

Your dad, however, likes to shop. He likes to browse. He likes to look at the things, and you hate that. Yep. That's very interesting.

Why? I don't know. It just, like, I don't know why you don't like to browse around and see what's new, or maybe you you don't know about something. That's how you learn what the things are and what's out there. I don't I feel like that's a waste of time.

Mhmm. I don't enjoy I don't enjoy that. Wandering around looking at stuff. Nope. Nope.

I don't. I don't mind it. I know. I did something last night that I haven't done in a very long time. What's that?

I went to the grocery store alone Okay. Which is fine. You normally do that. I normally do. And then I decided that I didn't necessarily wanna go home, and it took me a while to even get out of the house because it was cold and rainy.

Right. I was like, we don't need bread. Okay. Who needs bread? We can survive another day without bread.

Until I remembered that we are completely, completely Out of bread? Okay. It's the only thing our daughter eats. Well, that's not true. But for lunch, you gotta make a sandwich, and that's a whole deal.

So So Yeah. So I finally made myself go out to the grocery store. Then after the grocery store, I said, I don't wanna go home yet. It was kind of nice, like, the rain, and and I put my heated seats on. Okay.

And the the lights and the rain were making, like, a beautiful I don't know. Like, there was a perfect the clouds. So I just drove around town for a while listening to music by myself, and it was quite lovely. You, did that, what, when you were in high school, you would do that. You you've told us stories about driving, listening to Jewel in the rain.

That. Is that is that what this was? No. Did you throw on Jewel? I did not throw out any Jewel.

I should have that. Feel sad that no one loved you or whatever it was? Yeah. In high school, I did it for different reasons. I see.

In high school, it was because that boy didn't like me. Right. So now I'm gonna drive in the rain and listen to Jules. So what were you listening to? Just a mix of stuff.

Okay. There was a Sad stuff? Or Not sad stuff. Just slow stuff for sure. Oh, okay.

Because it was just nice. And it was just quiet, and I didn't have Hugh around, and I didn't have the kids around. No. Listen. I'm an alone type of person.

You are not an alone type of person. I'll hang out with anybody. Sometimes I just like to be alone. Okay. And it was quite lovely.

Well, good. I'm glad you had to do that. I was I was at, you know, meetings and stuff. Full of people. Yeah.

I was hanging out with people. Sometimes it's just nice to be with your own thoughts. Sure. Sometimes it's not. Okay.

Sometimes I'm like, no. I don't like to be here with my thoughts. Give me something else to do. Right? But last night, it was good.

Okay. In the rain and the and the the reflection from the rain and the stoplights, I was like, this is quite lovely. Okay. Listen to some slow songs. And then I thought Alright.

Oh, my family must be wondering where I am. I was still at the meeting. Yeah. You were in the meeting. Busy.

I knew you were running to the grocery store, but that was it. But I thought for sure maybe Emery would have texted me and said, hey. Where are you? She knew you were going to the store. I was gone for a long time.

Well, how long do you normally go to the store? Ten minutes? Fifteen minutes? Right? Like to shop.

I get in and out. That's right. And she should know that. I anyway. Did you get a treat in the rain?

No. I should have. It's I thought that was part of the deal. I should have. I need re I need a redo.

No. Bring more rain. No. I'm excited for this warm weather we got the rest of this week. Alright.

It nice this rest of this week? Mid upper seventies and eighties through the rest of the week. It's gonna be great. So good. Part hey.

I know. I know. Maybe What is your least favorite mundane task? Least favorite mundane task? Mhmm.

What's an example of a mundane task? Organizing the pantry. I hate it. I hate that one. Organizing under the sink?

I actually decent sized pantry. I have a closet. Yeah. And I hate it always gets chaos in there. Yeah.

But if I had a decent, like, a walk in pantry, I would love to organize it. Okay. But you don't. So would is that top of the list terrible task? And it and I'm talking about the ones that, like, you just don't get around to doing because you're like, I'm not gonna do it.

Well, that's all the tasks. I understand. But I'm talking about the little ones, not the let's paint the basement, which takes days. Let's I'm talking small, mundane things that you could do, but just don't want. Okay.

Yeah. Probably that one. Okay. There's several of those, I'm sure. Yeah.

But that one that one comes to mind. So there is a lady on TikTok. Her name is Christy, Nurretsen. And, hopefully, this will inspire you and others. At the March, she had 70 followers.

She posted a time lapse video outlining exactly how long it took her to repaint a dresser and mirror set that she had purchased at Goodwill. Okay. In just over an hour is how long it took. Not bad Not bad at all. Repaint it.

And she did a time lapse, and she's like, look. I got this thing done. Well, the video got more than 500,000 views. So she said, well, this might be a thing that people are interested in. So she started making a series of mundane task time lapse videos that are titled, how long does it actually take?

Okay. Okay. And so she said, I've gotta clean the dishwasher filter. Oh. How long does it actually take?

That's awful. I hate doing that. Right? I hate doing that. How long does it take to actually put away two loads of laundry?

Okay. And? Or clean the floor of the pantry or organize the pantry. Ugh. Uh-huh.

Her her late her last video, the pantry video, got over 7,000,000 views. I'm in the wrong business. I'm just saying, like, this is a time lapse of doing the mundane thing. And so her inspiration is like, look. It's not gonna take as long as you think.

You've been putting it off, and your putting it off is way longer than it would actually take to do the task. So she said, just just go do the thing. Go get the thing done. Don't tell me what to do. Get the mundane task done.

Look. It doesn't take that long. Do? How long did it actually take to clean the pantry, you asked? Let's find out.

I don't know. I mean, the video's running now, and we'll see. But how long do you think it would take? How big of a pantry does she have? It's small.

It's a small closet. It's not much bigger than ours. Okay. Probably about forty five minutes. So she's underway.

K. And it looks like she's only doing the floor, which she pulled. Nope. She's now organizing the shelves. She's putting away the ziplock bags, and she's got a little bit of organization.

She's dusting the cross the crock pot. She's oh, she flattened the cardboard boxes and and took them out and then swept and mopped the floor around it. So she did the bottom shelf and the floor level, and I'm betting it total time, twenty seven minutes. She she did that all wrong. All you have to do is throw your empty boxes in the garage.

Uh-huh. Somebody else will take care of them for you. No. She broke down the boxes into a flat stack. Somebody else did that.

Took them to the bin. It's like a cardboard can. Fairy that does that. It's not. It's me.

Hi. I'm the cardboard fairy. We need a new can opener. I've heard this complaint. I don't know how every time you go to open a can, we need a can opener.

What's wrong with our can opener? I can work it fine. What's the problem? What's the issue? What's wrong with it?

Settle down. I just don't know what the problem is. I feel like it's a little bit rusty, so it's hard to work. Okay. And it doesn't glide smooth like it does when it's brand new.

Okay. So I want a new can opener. So I've been doing some research on can openers today because I saw that you wanted to talk about this. And so I've been, I've researched the, the Internet's best can opener. And?

What did you find? Of all, if you if you Google best can opener, there are an un what's the word I want? There's an unholy amount of, of articles recounting the best can openers of 2025. You're right. Someone gets paid to do this.

Multiple people get paid to make lists of the best can opener. For the best can opener, 2025. I didn't read a single one of those articles. Can opener recommendations. World's best can opener.

Mhmm. Okay. My problem is not okay. Here's my problem. I don't I don't wanna buy another can opener.

Okay. I liked the can opener that we had. It doesn't work properly anymore. Okay. I even looked at the can on person can openers last night at the grocery store.

I picked a couple up. I looked at them. I went come back. I let that grocery store know Because I I've done research now, and I know what the best one is. Know what is the best one.

Well, the the best one is, comes with a lifetime warranty, first of all. Woah. It is it is a can opener that you buy for life, and that is where I found it is on the buy it once type thing. How expensive is it? $30.

We bought a vacuum for life. Yes. And we still have it. I know. We got swindled No.

We didn't. By a door salesman. Well, we didn't I mean, that was that was a little bit a little bit unfortunate. But This vacuum cleaner has a lifetime guarantee. It does.

It absolutely does. I haven't had to use it, but it does. Okay. What's the best can opener? It is the OXO smooth edge can opener.

K. It's a weird shape, and everybody is like, it takes a minute to get used to because it's it doesn't work like all the can openers you've ever known. It doesn't have all of the, like, swinging handles and all that stuff. Okay. Yeah.

And because it's a smooth edge, it opens the can so you don't have a jagged edge on the lid or the can Woah. Which is cool. Right? And so one guy was like, dude, it's the best can opener because it leaves you with this smooth edge. So if you want to use the can for, you know, holding pencils or whatever, you don't have a sharp edge, which I thought was neat.

But he said, but also, it makes it so the lid can go back on to the can. So if you only use half a can of soup and you wanna throw it into the fridge or something, you you can do that. Or he said if you, if you use, like, tomato sauce in in a recipe, but there's, like, a grease that you need to pour off or something, or a sauce or whatever, you can pour it back into the can and then throw that away. I'm watching a video. Yeah.

It looks pretty nice. By the way, not sponsored. No. Not a sponsor. Yet.

Okay. Fair enough. But that smooth edge can opener is, is the Internet's favorite. Okay. And they said you buy it once, and you have that can opener For life.

For life. It's a lifetime warranty. Yeah. We just got a text from a friend of ours that said it's the best can opener. I've had it, and we've bought it for two other people.

I'm telling you. I did the research. I did the research this morning about the can opener. That smooth edge can opener is the jam. And you're buying it's a little bit of an investment.

It's about two to three times as much as you could pay. And I mean, if you go to a dollar store, it's 30 times more, isn't it? But it's about $30. But that can opener is apparently the can opener. The best one, it looks like.

Yep. According to everything I did on the, you know, the research. The other thing, that people recommended is this Japanese can opener, and it has no moving parts, and it sort of works like you you know that, that little folding army issue can opener? Have you seen that thing? No.

It's just like a little sharp blade. It's and you just run it around the can. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah.

Yeah. I've seen those. Right? They made kind of a modern version of that where you stab the pointy end in the can, and then you work it around the edge of the can. Had one of those, and I never ever knew how to use it.

They had a jabby can opener? Yeah. Oh? But we also had a under the cupboard one. I couldn't figure out how that worked either.

Were so rich. I was so rich. You had you had a a countertop mount can opener. You could stick a can under, and it would open it for you. It was so rich.

Didn't have a microwave until you were Yeah. Until 1995. But but you had that. Sweet. Didn't need a microwave because every meal was home cooked.

Mhmm. You're right. Yeah. It was not definitely not goulash or hamburger helper. It was a warm meal.

Be grateful. You know how in the nineties, almost everybody had a landline? Well, yeah. That was that was how you communicated was through the telephone hanging on the wall. Or, like, a cordless.

Yeah. We had the cordless. That was awesome. When your mom and this didn't typically happen with a cordless phone. You had to have a holder and a phone.

K. But when your mom didn't necessarily wanna take any phone calls or there was a phone call that she was expecting that maybe she didn't wanna answer, she would take the phone off the hook. I don't I don't remember that happening very often, though. My mom did that a lot. Why didn't she wanna talk to people?

If there were, like, people that were bugging her about church responsibilities Oh, really? Like, maybe she was expecting a phone call from work. She was like, take the phone off the hook. I don't wanna I don't wanna answer any phone calls. So you would take it off the hook.

Like and, basically, you would take it off the cradle. Yeah. No. I know about it. Yeah.

And it would go forever, and then it would quit. And then it's stopped. Was silent. Yeah. Yeah.

And then you would not get you wouldn't get any phone calls the entire time the phone was off the hook. That is correct. And then if somebody tried to call you, they would just get a busy signal. Right. Like, oh, I can't get through.

They must be talking on the phone to somebody important. Then there were some times we forgot that the phone was off the hook. Oh. And then it would just be sitting there for hours and hours and hours and hours. And we'd be like, oh, we haven't gotten any phone calls.

Oh, the phone's off the hook. Who took the phone off the hook? Yeah. I don't know. You didn't never do that?

I I don't think so. Your parents never did that. I don't I don't I mean, obviously, I I've heard the sound, so it may have happened, but I also maybe just didn't pay attention enough that I It's also a little bit more caller ID. So you couldn't tell who was calling. So it was like a mystery every time the phone rang.

Hello? Yeah. That's what my mom said. That's my impression of your mom answering the phone. Hello?

You go, hey. Is Chantel there? Yello? Yello. My dad would do a Yello.

Oh, did he? Yeah. He was a funny guy? I don't know. Yello.

Like like to say my colors when I answer the phone. He was a funny guy? Yellow. There was always, like, a dad or two when you would call your friend's house. And if the dad answered, they would try and do a dad funny thing, wouldn't they?

I cannot think of anything specific to this problem. Wanna hear what a dad funny thing sounded like when when they answered the phone. Yellow. Or if you had caller ID and you saw it was, was one of your your kid's friends, you'd answer, you'd go, Domino's pizza? Funny.

Yeah. That's a funny dad thing. Sure is. What can I get you? I guarantee you that I had some friends' dads who did that a time or two.

Yeah? 100%. Uh-huh. Guaranteed. What can I what do you need to order?

Nowadays Uh-huh. If somebody calls you, you just don't answer. Yeah. Or Sorry. You know?

I'm not answering. You turn your phone off or you put it in do not disturb or airplane mode or whatever. Can't get me. No. Sorry.

Go ahead. No yellows for you. We did some digging around, and we found our old high school prom photos. We sure did. And you have posted those online.

I did. So if you go to the class ninety seven, Facebook page, are they on Instagram as well? No. But I can't put them there. Yeah.

We'll we'll do that. You look cute. Like, you look nice. Thanks, Josh. You've got a lot of bangs.

I'll I'm gonna throw that out there. You do have some large curled bangs, but that was a thing. That was a thing in the late night. Was. It was.

It certainly was. And then you you've got your hair kinda slicked back, and then In an updo. Okay. You've got you got your hair done up. And then you left some strands out.

Mhmm. Is that a thing? Is that a that was a that was a choice? I'm just trying to understand. You said one nice this is a nice asking questions.

Backhanded on the mess. I'm trying to just understand. This is a thing. Yes. It was a choice I made.

I like it. I think you should try it again just to see what happens. You don't have the bangs, though. It does kinda look like I have a little bit of a rat tail. I will give you that.

I don't think so. Because there's some on the other side too. You kinda frame your face. Hold on. We're not done yet.

You've got on a a nice corsage. Right? Yes. And it matches your date's boutonniere. Correct.

So that's nice. Yes. And you went blue and white, which, let's go Skyline Grizz. Way to go with school spirit. I did not go Skyline.

I know you didn't. You graduated from Burley. And your date's got on this blue vest, which is, you know, great. He went with tails on the tux. He did.

I've never been a tails guy. Well, he was. I okay. I'm just just I'm just analyzing here. Don't be mean.

That's my friend, Tom. Okay. I'm not being mean to Tom. I'm just I'm literally just saying. And then, let's talk about your backdrop here.

Okay. What do we have? Flowers? Gate? Yeah.

Where does the gate go? K. Is it my turn to talk about you? Let's go to mine. Yeah.

Wow. Look at all that hair. Look at that bleach blonde beauty. Isn't that nice? I don't even recognize that person.

I know. Bleach blonde, beautiful hair. My glasses, I did not have the, super cool engineer glasses at this point. I'd moved on to circle frames. Well So I had circle frames.

Let's talk about your backdrop. Where's that door go? I don't know. It looks like, outside of someone's creepy window is what it is. And, also Uh-huh.

You have a thing on the bottom that says Skyline High School commencement. Yes? I had I had the bad I had the time of my life. That's right. 06/03/2000.

Yeah. It was how come this was commencement? That's your graduate what? I'm confused. What they called it.

I don't know. No. I didn't put the text on it. It was our senior prom. Was your prom so late?

In June? Yeah. Normally, proms are April, May. Skyline in the 2,000. Dude, we graduated late.

What? That's weird. They push everything to the very end. Like, everything was, like, the last week. But, yeah, we didn't graduate until June.

Like, our graduation ceremony was was in June. Interesting. Yeah. And then I I, like, moved to Phoenix July Seventh. I was out of town.

I was out of here. To respect the privacy of our dates, we have Emojied their faces. Privacy of Because we didn't seek prior approval to post them, so you are correct. Yeah. But see no tails on my tux.

So that was the choice you made. I know. I like that. Blonde hair, a choice you made. Easy.

No. Don't say easy after you attacked me. I didn't attack you. I just wanted to understand your bangs. That's all.

How long did you leave the curling iron on them? I'm not being mean. I just wanna know. No. That doesn't sound mean at all.

Get out of here. You're Listen. Rude. My bleach blonde hair. I'm not being rude.

I just I think it's great. I hate it. It's a time capsule. This bleach blonde look, mine is platinum. Like, it is, like, almost white.

It's it's done so well. But I also had, the blue on the frosted tips on top Oh, sick. Which was which was very cool. Yeah. Right.

And, that was a choice I made. Yeah. Yeah. It was. The whole reason we're talking about our photos is because we do have the twenty sixth annual Classy ninety seven second chance prom with Browning's Honey coming up on May 17.

That's not this weekend, but next weekend. Can you believe that? Woah. It's coming up quick. Yeah.

I can bleach the sides of what I do have if you want. No. Thank you. Why? Because I don't I'll bleach it out.

I know you will. I don't think I want that. It's gonna turn that yellowish color first. I know. Which is super trendy right now.

I know. I heard. It's fine. But Tom was. Tom was.

Okay. I was reading a thing that said my friend works at a Mexican restaurant, and he was telling me that Cinco de Mayo Oh. Is my d day. I see. It's my doomsday.

Yeah. Okay. They're flooded with people wanting free chips and salsa Oh, yeah. Tacos, more guacamole. I bet.

So then it became a conversation about what is this job's doomsday. Interesting. So for example, like Walmart, Target, anybody in every Black Friday Black Friday is retail. Yeah. Any kind of a bartender, New Year's Eve is flooded.

I bet there's a few of those. Like, Saint Patrick's Day is probably a big one. Yeah. I think New Year's. Yeah.

For sure. What are some other, So teachers. Okay. A lot of them said the first day of school, but then it came through with no field day. Oh, field day.

State testing day. Or probably any day before a holiday. The days before spring break. The days before Christmas break. The days after Christmas break.

Exactly. Yeah. Everyday. Everyday. Yeah.

Interesting. Everyday for a teacher is doomsday. Stay syncing. Like, we don't we don't necessarily have that in in what we do here. I think there are definitely busy times.

I would say the July 4. That's what I was gonna say. That's a big deal. Like, preparing for, Riverfest and preparing for the synchronized music for the fireworks, and and all of the work that goes into that is definitely, one of the biggest, busiest days for for us, absolutely. Right.

Like, there's never I I know, like, historically, fourth of July has not been a the I don't wanna sound wrong. A celebrated holiday. Like, a good celebrated, we celebrate the fourth of July. But it's not like, I'm going camping. I'm out of town.

It's the fourth of July weekend. See you. Yeah. You've had to work. Always had to work.

No matter what radio station you were on, it was like, oh, I gotta parade. Oh, I gotta do this firework thing. Oh, I gotta do Yeah. We never saw you on the July 4 I know. Ever.

So, so now you're in with me. So now it's you and me. Hanging out. We get to hang out on July 4. I know.

Our kids are abandoning in the abandoning us this year. I don't know what that's all about. They're like monster trucks. Like, come on, mate. I know.

Rude. Yeah. So, yeah, that I would say is a good that's a good It's a good dooms day for us. That's not I don't like calling it that. But, yeah, that's definitely the busiest Busiest day.

One of the busiest days. I would say the other really busy time is right before we launch Christmas music. Uh-huh. Because the work it has to go into preparing that every year is massive. With the playlist and and jingle And you're not necessarily dealing with those.

Yeah. I mean, you're busy for sure. Yeah. It's all behind the scenes. You're not.

But I'm busy busy. That's very true. Waitresses on Cinco de Mayo are constant. Like, it's a constant refilling of the chips. Yeah.

You are correct. Dealing with people at Target and Walmart on Black Friday. Yeah. Okay. What's the does there more?

No. I couldn't think of any more. I was trying to those were the only examples they gave, but I was trying to think what would be Like an auto mechanic. What's their big day? Well, I feel like maybe for firefighters, the July 4 is probably not a great day for them either.

You're right. You know? Yep. I do. I think you're exactly right.

Yep. Yep. Us and the firefighters, fourth of July. You said to me yesterday or this morning. It was this morning.

Yeah. Walking out of the house. You said our grass looks as green as the neighbor. It does. And you said, amazing what a little water will do.

A little rain. A little A little rain. A little mow and a little water. Well and so I mowed, last week, what, Thursday. So it's coming up on mowing day again.

He's already mowed three times. He's mowed four. He's four to one. But that's fine. He started earlier than me.

He got three mows in before I mowed once. And then, on Sunday, we got a text that he was mowing the lawn again. And I went, come on, man. So, like, I've got text notifications. That's what that sounds like.

It sounds like I get a text notification when the neighbor mows. That's not how it works. Our daughter saw him mowing and said he's mowing again. That's how that happened. Anyway, so, yeah, he's up on me four to one.

I've called him out when he was three to one. He was mowing the third time, last week, and I said, dude, you've gotta stop, man. You've you're up on me three to one. He's got a good looking yard. He does have a nice looking yard.

And and we took out the fence in the front yard that separates the two yards. Yeah. So now when he mows, his nice grass touches my bad grass. There used to be a fence, and I wouldn't feel as bad because there's kinda like a clear I I have almost thought about as I was mowing, I thought wonder how much he would, charge me. Like, if I threw him a few shekels, they got a new baby.

They could use a few extra bucks. To have him just mow your The front yard. Make my front yard match your front yard. What I think. Like, he has the electric lawnmower don't worry about that.

Which is nice, and I think he just likes doing it. That's what I'm saying. Imagine if the the the lawns that touch looked so nice. You can you can run my hose to to put out the sprinkler. You you do it, man.

You take care of my lawn. Throw you $3. You because he does the fertilizer. He does the the seeds. Good care of his lawn.

His lawn looks great, and it touches my bad lawn. Well, you gotta up your bad lawn game, bud. Or I gotta say, hey. How's about I throw you a few bucks to charge your battery or run you an extension cord? Whatever it takes.

Just make my small front yard match your small front yard so they look nice because they touch each other. That's all. You can't have beautiful grass and then have my crazy patch. But I think that hi. It's not that difficult, is it?

Like, how come how come you're struggling so much with bad grass? How come it looks like that? Look how our yard looks like that, and his looks like that. That's what I'm saying. That's why I'm just saying you just do mine and make it look nice.

Make mine look nice like yours. What the tricks are. What are you doing, bud? Because, like, it's so much easier to be like, hey. Why don't you just it's another few square feet.

Just come on. It's just a few extra, like, pushes, is it? It's it's gonna take you just as long to take care of mine and yours as it does take care of yours. It'll be like you're just having a big yard. One big yard, bud.

Right. Right. You know? Like, we've we've had discussions about graveling between the houses Uh-huh. Which I think we should do Yes.

Because we we've got the trailers and stuff back there. So maybe I could convince him to be like, hey. Let's talk about this gravel project. And while we're at it we're at it, just mow my lawn while you mow yours. You know?

I'll take care of the side on the other side where it touches the neighbors on the other side. Yeah. He's got the he's got the So he's got he's young. Yeah. And he likes it.

And he likes it. See? I'm I'm gonna have to talk to him. I feel bad I don't know his name. I don't know his name either.

We should know his name. I mean, they've lived here for, like, five, six years. We should probably know their names. And I've taken them before they had a baby, I took them Well, and we did neighbor Christmas gifts. Treats and Yeah.

I mean, we should know their names. Sometimes their our packages get dropped on our step. Like, it's no big deal. Just our left neighbors. The left neighbor.

Left neighbors. Okay. Unless you're looking at the house, then they're the right neighbor. But I also don't know the neighbors on the right This is true. Name either.

There's a left and the right. We got left and right neighbors, and we don't we we should do better. We should be better neighbors. Right family. Yeah.

I'm gonna ask him if he wants to mow my grass. Oh, by the way, what's your name? Yeah. Okay. Listen.

Step one, what's your name? Step two, let's talk about the gravel. I'm done. Step three, how you feel about making this one grass stretch look so good? I know you mow to the edge and you go, I really wish he'd take care of his grass better.

So just take care of him, buddy. Me. Right? Here's your show. Pay for the gear.

Like, what do we need? Let's just make one yard. That's all. Are you ready for a little would you rather this or this? Am so ready.

Okay. Let's hear it. Would you rather this is kind of a Mother's Day edition. Would you rather Alright. That's coming up.

It'll work. Because that's this weekend. Yeah. It is. Yeah.

It is. So it'll work for you too. Heads up, everybody. Mother's Day is this weekend. Get busy.

Think about your plans. Would you rather have breakfast in bed or a kid free spa day? Alright. Before I answer this, I already know I already know my answer. But, how fun would it be to surprise your mom, my mom With breakfast in bed.

With breakfast in bed. They wake up and they hear clanging in the kitchen. Like, what is going on out there? Who's in my house? Who is that?

Like, go back to bed. I'm bringing you breakfast at bed. Go back to bed. That's kind of a fun idea. Yeah.

Yeah. It'd be, it'd be interesting. Show up and make anyway, you've seen the videos where people do, like, the grandkids come over for a sleepover and the kids come over. Yeah. And they're like, we're doing the sleepover, grandmas.

Let's go. I love it. Kinda thing. Just show up. Be like, we're making breakfast for you.

I know you're not because you don't like eating breakfast in a minute. In bed. No. You don't. I don't like it when people eat in the bed.

I don't like when I get in the bed, and I go, who's been eating in the bed? I don't like food in the bed. That's not where food goes. It's like brushing your teeth walking around. Stay in the bathroom.

Quit it. Go back to the sink. Stand there and brush. You can get your socks later. Go back to the bathroom.

I feel attacked. I'm just saying. I'm picking kid free spa day because food in the bed is gross. I agree with you. Food in the bed is gross, but, well, depends on what it is because Ivy You eat food in the bed often.

What are you talking about? I also walk around brush my teeth. I know. I've seen it. Get back in the bathroom.

I'm going for kid free spa day. Yeah. That sounds awesome. It it sounds pretty alright. Yeah.

It does. I want a hot tub so bad. I know you do. I want a I want a sauna. I want a hot tub.

I want a massage. I wanna I wanna do that. Me too. That sounds awesome. That sounds great.

Let's do that. Okay. Today is teacher, day. Teacher appreciation day. Well, it's teacher appreciation week.

Yeah. But today is National Teacher Day. Oh. So it's it's You sounded like Teacher day. Yeah.

Well, I had to read the thing. It's the day to thank and celebrate educators who make a huge difference in our lives and our communities, and it's National Teachers' Day. So it is that was correct. I just didn't know if I needed to throw in the appreciation thing because it is teacher appreciation week. Okay.

But today is National Teachers' Day. So a huge shout out to teachers and a thank you. Shout out to teachers. To teachers. There are about 3,800,000 k through 12 public school teachers in America.

That's a lot of teachers. That's amazing. Every day, taking care of our kids. We we send our kids out the door and say Mhmm. Have somebody else go take care of you for a while.

I don't wanna do it right now. I don't think that's the point, but it's more about the education. But Who, impacted you teacher wise? I had a reading teacher. I think we've talked about her, miss Hill.

She was fantastic, encouraged me to to write and, and to be creative, and and I really appreciated that. I had several. I'm trying to think of, like, other ones where where I was like, yeah. This person, I remember real real strong, not just because they were fun to be around or whatever, but because they Missus Matt's in second grade. Okay.

Number one. Number one. I wish I knew where she was. Okay. She was she was my favorite.

Yeah? For suresies. I also had, my my cross country coaches, which were also teachers, in in the high school. They were good. They were real, real impactful in my life.

Yeah. But I've had I'm surrounded by educators. You worked in the school system. We're friends with teachers. My mom, still currently works in in school.

My grandmother was an educator forever, and she taught English in home ec in middle school. Like, she taught it to junior high kids. So Ugh. Good for her. Yeah.

And then went on to be, like, vocational adviser at district, ninety one. Like, she's she's been in education for ever and ever and ever. So I've been surrounded by educators. Sister-in-law is a teacher. Oh, that's right.
