We're going to be okay.
We're going to be okay.
Oh, it's going to be fine.
Mm-hmm.
Happy Friday, everyone.
Look at my shirt.

He puts his little spin on it.
We need to have him in here and then we're going to have it's going to be Dave and Molly
and Quinney and Spinny.
Yeah.
That's a show.
That's a show.
Quinney and Spinny show.
Okay.
Don't be good.
I need a poo and a poo and a poo.
Oh man.
that I could feel more worse than I did yesterday morning, but yeah, you got a power through
it.
What did you do to yourself last night?
Well, well, malls.
See, like there was nothing on the agenda that was going to make you feel horrible, but
you do.
Well, let's.
Oh, yeah.
Oh, it was one night.
Yeah, it was.
Yeah, I forgot.
Yeah.
Well, here's what.
So I was here for a while, and there was a lot of activity here.
Yeah.
Because you did.
You did.
You left early.
I left early.
I left you for dad.
I'm sorry.
And I was like, I couldn't even remember that because it got so busy here.
Well, that's good though.
Yeah, it was very good.
And I was working on stuff and people were stopping by.
And we were chatting with different people and everything.
Well, the whole time, then I'm getting very, very hungry.
Oh, no.
Yeah, very.
Very, very hungry.
And I remember that you had purchased some cookies and some liquor.
I did.
And I just thought, I just, I just need a sugar, just a little bit of a something just to carry me over the way.
So I, so I did have some liquor.
Okay.
I didn't open the new bag of cookies, but yeah, no, it didn't need to because I was a liquor.
And that carried me over.
And then the crash came again.
Oh, okay.
And it's like, okay, I got to get home.
Well, I remembered at home, I had those nachos.
Yeah.
And I was so excited.
Oh, that's so good.
And I get home and I'm a, you know, I go through the McDonald's, of course, I get the Diet Coke.
Yeah.
But no food.
I don't need food because I'm, I got really good food waiting for me at the house.
Yes, you do.
So I get home.
I open up the Tupperware thing that Nadine had packed it all up the night at the journey concert.
Yeah.
And so I put some foil down and turn on the oven and put it in there.
And I think that I think they were reheated the best way nachos could ever be.
Nachos, you can never recreate nachos.
No, it's hard because any kind of a legacy type of stuff in there is a problem.
And sometimes the chips can't bring them back to life.
That's right.
You can't revive them.
That's exactly right.
But you did it, didn't you?
I did it as good as it could be done.
Okay.
I was very happy with it, but it was the, the amount that was left was, it was a lot.
But it wasn't a situation where it's like, okay, I'll eat half of this.
No.
And I'll save the other half.
Save for what?
For what?
For what?
There's going to have to save it.
And there's never going to last a second.
Well, and I knew that I was going out in the night.
And then I'm going out of town this weekend.
Yeah.
So it's like, well, so I had to eat all of it.
It's the only responsible thing to do.
And it was not want not day.
Oh my gosh.
Oh my gosh.
So I, I mean, there was, it was a lot.
And I took, and I, I knew, as soon as I finished, it was like, oh, that was a bad idea.
I, I know I ate too much.
And I thought, well, I still have about two or three hours before, one night, it will get better
and everything will be fine.
Yeah.
I think it got worse.
Oh no.
It was like, it's like the food expanded inside me for something.
So.
Oh my god.
Well, it's like a snake though.
And you do the big middle of the day feeding, which I did that too.
You're there.
And then you let your body work on it the whole day.
And it is supposed to get better.
It's not supposed to get, we're not supposed to, but did you put a lot of liquid on top of
it or something?
What do you mean?
I mean, like, did you drink a bunch of your vitamin drinks?
Or sometimes if you have a big meal and then you spend a bunch of, then it does expand.
I felt, I felt expansion happening, definitely.
So anyway, but, but I had to keep moving and I was going to keep being sharp as I had
to get to bed early and everything will be great.
And it was, you know, getting packing and doing those kinds of things, things more laundry
than normal and all that kind of stuff.
So then it's time for wine night.
Yes.
So I had out for that and then I thought, you know, just a salad.
That's all I need.
No two plates.
I've already had the nachos.
They're expanding.
Yeah.
There's no room.
It was full expansion.
And so I ended up getting.
I did get the salad and I got a burger too.
I'm not even upset.
I didn't eat all the burgers.
I'm impressed.
Oh, well.
And how big are the burgers there?
I was a big way.
It's, it's, it's their smash burger.
And then does it come with the corn pasta stuff that you like?
Yeah.
And so did you eat all that too?
Yes.
You're so reporting.
I know.
I'm only doing what a good journalist does.
You deal in headlines.
I deal in details.
I like to know all the stuff that's how I want to know what you're up against.
So this, so some of it is on me admittedly anyway.
So yeah, we had that was, that was great.
And, and then got home and I watched exciting Mariner baseball action.
The mariners are kind of a mess right now.
They've lost, they lost all, they got swept by the Padres.
By the Padres?
Yeah.
So that didn't go well.
So I watched part of that.
And then I had some wine, also same situation.
It was like about a half bottle of wine that was going to go to waste.
If I didn't, and Nadine had a meeting, so she was coming back to the house, but it was
going to be later.
So I had to wait up, you know, so I ended up staying up later than I thought.
And then, and then it's go time today.
So.
Well, now when I got here, things were different, so it took me, it took me several
minutes to sort of find my bed, but you're up early today because I got your early morning
email earlier than usual, because usually I get up, I do my like trivia and stuff.
I'm on the computer and then I go, I have it timed exactly like I have to get in the
shower at 10 to 5, and I have to leave my house at 5.30 exactly, I have to do all these
things exactly.
And when I saw your email coming through, because usually it does, I thought, oh my god,
that's the wrong time.
Yeah.
You know, you look at it and I thought, oh, maybe I'm just like delirious and it's
way later than I think.
No, we were packing some stuff this morning.
Yeah.
And then I actually sent that before I even took a shower this morning, because I was
out of, I was out of sync too with all the stuff going on.
So anyway, so then I, and then I didn't have coffee at the house.
I got coffee at Dutch bros down the hill.
So, and then got here and it was, it was sort of craziness.
But we're on the air.
Everything is fine.
And it's Friday and we feel good and we're going to be okay.
Now, here's, here's how I pictured your evening and your day, because I knew you were going
out of town.
And I know sometimes when I'm going out of town, that day is spent like your very well
behaved, because you know you have to get up and then you have to be packed and organized.
And when I saw your email come through, I thought, well, I bet he was in bed early and
I bet he had a light salad and no wine.
And he said, I'm getting ready for my trip, but no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, not at all.
Back to back tankage.
Yeah, it was, that was a bad idea.
No, it's bad.
But, you know, I might be able to sleep on the plane.
There's another theory though when you're about to head out on vacation, like just start
now.
Yeah, I mean, you get the day of work and you get through that, but then you're going
to have go and do it, right?
Yeah, yeah.
Yeah, it'll be fine.
Oh, yeah.
I think it'll be fine.
Okay.
Anyway, so, and then you guys have the McDonald's here.
Oh, yeah.
You know, that's, and I can feel like more things expanding.
There's a lot of expansion going on, but you said, I think I'm just going to eat one
of these breeds.
That was a discipline on my brain.
And I said, that's all you're going to have, and then you said, well, don't go crazy.
I'm just having one now, the other one later.
So yeah, we have a new system, Quinn goes and gets it, but I had to pay for it.
Why?
Well, because of the nice cover from Sam Adams.
That's right.
And our golf wager.
Getting on golf.
Yeah.
You shouldn't bet on golf.
And he pays, folks.
I beat him, but I didn't beat him by enough.
Great goal.
Good golfers win.
Great golfers cover days.
Right.
Well said.
What they say.
Okay.
So I, yeah, that was nice.
So that's nice because we get, but so we would have been starting on time, but then
everything was.
Yeah.
So no.
But so yesterday was so weird because I walked out of here at little after nine.
Right.
And that is, it's very strange.
And I remember during our time when we were fired and we had that whole summer.
And I would go to the gym at seven every morning and I thought, this is, I don't know what
the world looks like at seven a.m. outside.
It's very strange.
Well, now since we've started this, I haven't been outside on a weekday at nine o'clock
in the morning in months.
So I get to see what the traffic flow is like and who's doing what and people are out walking
and jogging and doing things.
I go up to the south hill to my skin doctor and of all the doctors that I go to, this
is the one that worries me the most because I had so much bad sun exposure as a kid.
And I mean, you know, we were talking about it yesterday, baby oil out in the sun.
You know, I grew up in Palm Springs where I just had burning all the time, but everything
was fine.
In fact, she said, she said, do you, did you just, did you always just tan very easily?
Did you have that kind of skin?
And I said, well, no, I, I mean, I've
really did a lot of damage and she said she was looking at the skin on my legs.
She said, for what you grew up in, you came out of it remarkably well.
That's good.
You don't want to mess with skin cancer stuff.
You just don't.
You're a remarkably light creature.
Get it?
Yeah.
Yeah.
But then we were talking shingle shot, I'm going to get a shingle shot, I'm going to get
a shingle shot.
Really?
Shingles, if you get shingles, it sucks.
I mean, like some people, it's just easy, but she said, she said, I recommend it.
She said, the, what we'll do is lessen the chances of it being really bad.
And if you had chicken pox in your life, the chance of you getting shingles older, especially
if you get stressed out, they go way up.
And there are people who are debilitated forever from shingles.
So I don't do a lot of vaccinations.
I don't do flu shots, but this is what I'm thinking about.
Opinions?
Opinions.
What is shingles?
Oh my god, he's so young and sweet.
Look at him.
Just look at him over there.
He's a little baby.
He doesn't know anything.
Shingles is, how would you describe it?
It is from the, it is a, basically adult chicken pox, but it becomes these, like, they're
almost like boils, right?
They're rashes.
It usually is like around your stomach area, under your, kind of, your back, my mom actually
had a small case of it, but, of course, she's my mom, so she got rid of it right away.
But when we were doing the Christmas show, she thought it was a rash from, like, the tape
from the microphones, while it was shingles.
And when it's on your face, it can get into your eyes and she luckily caught it early
and she got rid of it fast.
But for other people, it can really be bad.
It's incredibly painful.
It's like big rashes and it's from that by the chicken pox eyes.
Okay.
So, but I just thought, I'm sitting in a waiting room.
All the other people are either young and dealing with acne are very old.
So that was, that was the combination.
And then for me, I'm like, wow, should I get that?
Shingles hat or what do you think?
But she was great.
She's very, very nice.
So when you have to make the decision?
I don't have to make it any time soon.
I mean, I could do whenever, see, I have one person saying, do it, one person saying
not to.
So, so when I got done there, they were a little delayed.
So I really didn't get in there.
It was supposed to be 940 and I think I didn't get in there till 10 and 10 something like
that.
So that pushed me back.
But then I too was very hungry.
Well, I'm coming down the South Hill and I go to Huckleberries and they just put out
their soup.
I didn't get the soup because I wasn't sick, but they just put out all of their hot food
and they had these quarter chickens that were that just looked so delicious.
So I got that and then this tortellini stuff and some fresh vegetables that they had
just put out like and some sushi for later I was planning ahead.
So I got home and then it's noon or ish and I'm watching euphoria and I'm eating a quarter
chicken.
How often does that happen?
It may not even, yeah, it may not even actually was earlier than that was like 11 something.
And so the dogs looking at me thinking, I this is weird that you're here and also can
I get some of that chicken because that looks good so then I share with the kids.
So I eat that and I'm watching euphoria and all of a sudden, oh no, oh boy, oh, I dozed
on the couch.
It was so nice.
Euphoria is in the previews, they make it seem like it's going to be worse than it is,
meaning like what Sydney, she's trying to do only fans.
She gets married in the show and then she's bored and she wants to make her own money
and so she's trying to, you know, do only fan stuff.
So she may be dressed like a puppy dog and she may had a collar on and may have a tail
stuck to her bare butt and a little face drawn on.
Other than that, it was not much.
So anyway, I watched that and then I did some stuff around.
That's the doggy for a nice long walk.
We got all that stuff done and I didn't have to pick the girls up to five.
It's to a clock.
What am I going to do with my time?
Oh, there comes, because you know, come on.
So I had a bunch of stuff, but listen, this is the weirdest thing.
So I get in the car and I think, okay, I'm going, I'm going for it, honey.
Well, I get almost to the parking lot and realize that I have left my phone at home.
Oh, no.
Now with that comes all of my credit cards, my debit cards and my ID.
So.
Well, then you, you can't play with it.
Well, no.
Well, if you hit a jackpot.
That's what I said.
That's the exact just of the story.
So I had enough cash, but then my thing is always, well, if I get rid of, if I, if I
lose all my money, I'll just get more.
But then I thought, oh, you can't get more.
Is it worth it even going in?
Can you do this on a budget?
What's going on?
And I'm talking to my, I'm in the car saying, okay, you're good.
Everything's fine.
You know what?
You just go in and if you lose your money, well, then you just go home and that's okay
too.
But what if you win a jackpot?
What if it's a big jackpot?
And they won't give it to you because you don't have your ID.
And they had a, they had something, some kind of thing going on where you could play
the thing.
But I couldn't do it.
I had an ID.
You got to have your card.
You got to have your ID.
So, but I wonder, this is what I wonder, because I have been selected for like a senior
day thing or whatever.
And we've been part of it where somebody didn't have their ID with them.
And I've seen people get turned away like you can't play.
We don't know this is you.
Then I started thinking about all the facial recognition and all the hours that are spent
there.
And they know who you are.
There's no denying they know who you are.
Then I decided I'm only going to play machines that don't have the big jackpots, you know,
that are just bonus driven, like the roosters, bonus driven, the only bonus driven, well,
it works because I go to the roosters and quack a, quack a, quack a, quack a, eggs are
flying everywhere.
It's all great.
So I got.
That must mean a bonus.
We don't know.
It could be bad.
It worked.
Yeah.
It worked.
It worked.
Yeah.
It worked.
Yeah.
It worked.
So I played for a little while.
But now, but you're now, but you're still driving without your license.
Yes.
All of those things are true.
Oh, man.
And my license has a big hole in it right now because I'm getting a new license.
I thought about that too.
And then I thought, what if I get a flat tire?
I'm driving the back way.
I don't know anybody's number, including yours can if you're watching.
I don't know your phone number.
And then I thought, I'll borrow a phone, I'll call my mom.
I know her number.
Well, you've really thought a lot of stuff.
True.
Yeah.
Can't you just enjoy the day?
Well, I did.
I did.
But I'm also thinking, oh my god, what if they call and said, we need you to pick up the
kids from school instead or something changed or something.
I was all over the place.
But my big concern was, what if today is the day I hit the giant jackpot and they say,
you can't have it.
But I think, if you say, I will be back.
You hold this for me.
But what do you think?
What do you think would really happen?
Like if it's a $20,000 jackpot and you win it and you've got your players card in there.
So you had your card in there, but you had no ID.
Correct.
Oh, well, that's probably, I mean, the only reason they need your ID is just for tax purposes,
right?
Like, they don't need to prove it to you.
It doesn't matter who it is.
And you have to put your ID on file and you sign up for your card.
Well, if you, yes, and if you've won a jackpot before, they have all your social and everything
like that.
Right.
So you might have been okay.
Yeah.
Well, how debit, what a story that would have been.
Oh my god.
Yeah.
So anyway, I hang out there.
So what's your total time at the casino without any communication?
Well, communication.
Two hours.
Oh, nice.
And it was weird because my purse was light and I didn't have any, you know, text coming
in and I'm picturing, I'm going to get home and the phone.
Well, I get home and nobody to even text me or call me.
I had one text saying, your prescription's ready.
Gee, thanks.
And then another one liking something that I had sent three days ago.
Like, oh, okay.
Because I walk and I said, oh, doggy was my phone blowing up.
Are you okay?
She did that.
Nope.
Quite all quiet.
Everything's fine.
So, yeah.
All the things.
It's a little sad, isn't it?
It is kind of sad.
No missed calls.
No, no, anything.
So then I go to, I have to go home, get my phone and then I have a little bit of time.
So I get some gas.
I do some other things and I go to get the girls for karate and they're all excited.
They've got white karate outfits because they're beginners.
So, stupid, grandma award of the year goes to me because we have snacks in the car.
I brought bananas and a little thing of juice thinking this is good.
Well, then they get into the hot cheetos, Alex's hot cheetos.
And I said, girls, be very careful.
They like those two?
Yes.
But I let them have very few of them.
I said, girls, you got a white outfit on.
Please be careful.
The powdered stuff.
And Alex used to have a blue one, a dark blue outfit for his geek.
So, if he got stuff you couldn't tell.
Well, the white is, well, sure enough Scarlett gets some, and the older one Scarlett is very sensitive.
It's very responsible, like hugely responsible.
The little one, she doesn't care about stuff.
But all of a sudden there's tears in the back of the car.
And because I had said you guys, it's really important you keep your uniforms clean.
But I kind of like half meant it, you know.
Well, Scarlett's very upset.
I'm so sorry, she's in tears.
And she's like hyperventilating because she got some cheetos juice, cheeto powder on her thing.
Well, I said, this is my fault.
This is not your fault.
So then she pours water on it.
Oh, no.
Oh, yeah.
Now it's all, so she is like devastated because she has broken the rule.
It's her second class only.
She's wondering how the Sensei guy is going to be.
I said, this is really my fault.
Well, remember the big white shoe place that I used to go to when I was part there?
Oh.
Well, my friend was there.
She's working there.
And I haven't seen her.
And I said, I'm back.
I'm on the 530 schedule.
We're back.
She said, oh, God, it's so good to see you.
I said, but we need help.
So I take the jacket in.
And she's got the spray stuff that she helps us get it almost completely out.
Oh.
Yeah.
Thank God.
Wow.
So, and I told Scarlett, I said, I promise you that he's not going to be upset.
And the fact that you're so upset will tell him that you care.
If you were not, oh, I got something.
So what?
That's different.
So anyway, it all worked out.
And I said, I'm going to be coming back for some shoes because I got a big trip planned.
And I need some big wide heel shoes.
Big wide shoes.
Big wide shoe store.
I love that store.
So the girls do that.
I go down and go to Old Navy and go shopping a little bit and come back and then get them.
They're McDonald's.
It's just so crazy because all those years with Alex doing the same routine.
And I was telling the girls.
I said, I used to pick him up from school.
We play cards at McDonald's because his thing was earlier.
And so now we're working out our routine.
Of course, they wanted to come back to the house with me.
And it's seven.
Yeah.
So it's, so their start time is five thirty.
Yes.
Okay.
Which is kind of a weird time for me because it's kind of dinner time.
So I ended up eating a little bit later.
So no more with that out.
But I think now I'll run into Kate Hudson because I think her son's there at six thirty.
Okay.
So I think, well, I didn't see her last night, but I think we'll start crossing paths.
She just walked by it.
Yes, she did.
So anyway, now the two of them, they're so cute.
They're very excited.
They got their white belts learned how to tie them.
And they're, you know, I could see them.
They want me to watch too, which is different.
He did not want me to watch the girls.
They said, next time could you, could you watch?
Oh, I said the whole, the whole hour, the whole.
And I got some business to do with the wide shoe store.
I said, I got to get a chair.
And the thing is, it was freezing yesterday.
So now we get into the zone where it will be very pleasant out there.
And I will bring a chair and I will do that.
Maybe I'll listen to a book while I'm watching.
But then it gets into the hot zone and five thirty at the corner of Francis and division in July.
Oh, I was just going to say, yeah, that's going to be.
No, I'm not doing that.
So, but I will for a little while.
Then I got home and then I finished off the, um, love on this backroom.
Down with that.
So sweet.
So sweet.
I mean, there's a proposal in there.
And I mean, it just, it is such a sweet show.
It really is good.
And then of course, I had to watch a pretty bunch of episodes.
The one where she gets into a car accident.
Remember that she bangs up the car.
She bangs up the car.
She has to go to court.
The guy takes her to courty.
Where's the neck brace?
And then Mike, Mike makes a loud noise.
Oh, yes, yes, yes.
That part I remember.
And they do horrible.
You could never get away with this now.
But he does a, like a Chinese accent.
And then she does it back to him.
And it's like, it was the sixties and seventies.
It was a different time.
But it was the way they did it.
It was like, I don't know you do.
If you on a family sitcom do that anymore.
So.
But.
It was a good day.
It was a good, it was, it was, it was, it was very weird though.
I was all, I mean, I got a lot done at the house.
And we did have a nice walk.
But it was a little chilly yesterday for a walk.
It was, it stayed cold kind of all day.
And walking into the casino.
Oh, the wind whipping.
But you were lighter because you had less stuff with you.
All the heavy thing was weighing down your purse.
And there was a time I could have left ahead.
And I got on this machine.
I was sitting with this guy.
And he got a bonus.
And I mean, I was rooting for him.
It was, it was this genie lamp thing.
And I thought for sure the lamps were going to bust.
And I took it all the way down to zero.
That's on me.
Or it could be on Cindy Johnson.
Because you could have taken any name because you had no idea.
Oh, I'm just looking now at the text.
I did not watch Survivor.
And that's by design.
Because Ken and I are going to watch tonight.
That's our thing.
Linda says, I did the single shot.
No biggie.
It's actually set of two.
Oh, my mom had it in her eye.
That's what she says.
The other Linda says, get the shot.
It's easy.
It's most miserable disease.
Boy, look at all these people.
Jackie says I had a friend misdiagnosed.
And they.
Oh, and said they had a stroke found out it was just shingles in their eye.
If that says get the shot.
I've had shingles twice.
Most awful thing feels like hot pokers.
Oof.
Tammy says get the shot.
Nikki.
But one person said not to.
Oh, don't get shingles.
Kathy says.
All right.
But I think everybody says to get the vaccine.
What is the age thing for that?
Over 50.
Oh, I have a few years then.
Yeah, you can wait.
But me, I have to jump on it.
Yeah.
But my friend, my friend Heather, she.
She's kind of my go to.
She was a pharmacist.
And I trust her because she does all of the actual looking at things.
And she recommended it.
So that's one that she would.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Yeah.
And that's good information.
Yeah.
So.
Yes.
That's all.
Yeah.
Well, it is Friday.
We feel good about that.
We have news that we'll get to here in a bit.
We also have some.
Our friends from Liberty Park.
Greenhouse.
Yeah.
This goes back to last year.
And they're listeners of ours.
There's.
There's wonderful people.
But they, they're getting ready for like their go time.
I mean, it gets into this season when people are buying plants and getting everything ready.
So anyway, we'll have him on.
Yeah.
Chat him up a little bit.
Mm-hmm.
Chat him up special, I believe.
Are we going to chat him up special?
Yeah.
So I think he said.
We also have Kate Hudson, who will join us.
We'll find out about the weekend.
And Sam Adams will be our featured KHQ guest.
He is full of.
Oh, yeah.
He's full of it today.
He was very punny this morning.
Very on.
He's always on Friday.
He's got an extra, just like an extra zing to it.
Mm-hmm.
And last Friday, remember what happened?
We, we poked the bear.
We, we brought out the worst in him.
So.
That's right.
Because that was the big golf tournament.
Yeah.
The ball, golf competition.
Well, he came in yesterday morning after everybody was gone.
And that was work.
And we, we had more golf discussions.
Me too.
Oh, yeah.
There's, there's a lot.
It's almost a mini tour that we have planned.
Multiple, multiple, multiple venues, multiple days.
Oh, it's like a tour, yeah.
It's like a tour, yeah.
It's like something.
Well, maybe Quinn and I need to get in on this.
Because maybe we do a season long futures bet.
Oh.
Oh, no.
We'll, Dave, win a major in the next 10 years.
We'll go and get some sort of like special odds on it.
Mm-hmm.
And then the over under who win, who wins the most round.
Mm-hmm.
And then overall, how many strokes do we give for the whole season?
Well, that might be hard.
Well, we're making it.
Like a running total.
Yes.
Oh, believe me.
You guys are going to keep track of what the score is each time.
You will.
You'll pay attention.
We can get little t-shirts made up.
Let's see.
For the news of the day, do you, when you're in the shower,
do you use a washcloth?
I use one of those scrunchy things.
Okay.
Sometimes I'll use a washcloth, but here's the thing.
At a hotel?
Yes.
At home, I use one of my scrunchy things.
Mm-hmm.
At those, yeah.
Most people do not use a washcloth.
Yeah.
The washcloths are sort of a thing of the past.
I don't know.
Well, give the shocking details of that amazing new study that's out.
Mm-hmm.
It's people who need to know.
Yes.
And then believe it or not, we're in different times.
There are a group of people that their only exercise
is walking their dog.
And the...
What?
Isn't that you?
Well, no.
Oh, golf.
Well, there's golf, and then I do the Bloom State thing,
and I'm doing other stuff.
Oh, yeah, that's true.
That's true.
That's true.
Okay.
All right.
All right.
I'm thinking of myself.
Jeez.
Anyway, so there are people that that is their only thing.
Yeah.
And Gatorade is now targeting them.
What?
Yeah.
They're saying, well, this is a whole new revenue stream for us.
We're going to target the people that don't do any exercise.
Okay.
And then right after that long golf walk,
you need Gatorade.
That's their angle.
Wow.
That's a story.
Well, the other day, when I got overheated,
you guys were getting the thermometer out.
Oh, yeah.
That day, I felt a little bit,
but there's no dog walk in the history of dog walks
that makes you need Gatorade.
Well, if you need water.
You need water.
If you do other stuff, but imagine there are people
that maybe their only outdoor activity is walking the dog.
Yeah.
That's me right now.
That's going to be, you know.
No, you're going to the gym.
You have multiple rooms.
Oh, yeah.
But do I visit them?
No.
Yeah.
Do I have a video of you doing the chair thing?
Yeah.
With the thing.
I'm going to go in your marching in the chair.
That's exercise.
Do you remember that most?
Yes.
I do.
Maybe we should look at it again.
Yeah.
You pull it up.
Pulled up special.
All right.
Anyway, that's, that is a story with the Gatorade people.
Yeah.
That is something.
Anyway.
All right.
Well, get to those and other stories.
It's Friday, everybody.
Not much can go wrong now, right?
We've made it through the hardest part.
Yeah.
We're up.
Yeah.
All right.
We can use from the New America studios.
No matter what you can imagine, no matter what you can possibly dream, no matter what your heart desires,
jewelry design center can make it for you.
We have fixed everything from eyeglasses to Super Bowl MVP trophies to all types of jewelry.
When people are able to come in and watch things be worked on, watch their pieces and be able to talk to the actual people that are going to be doing it.
It gives such a confidence and an appreciation for what, what that is.
It can do anything.
Jewelry Design Center, your jeweler for life.
We now return to the Dave and Molly show.
Happy Friday, everyone.
Look who's here.
It's our favorite Friday person, Kate Hudson.
Hi.
Nice to see you.
Nice to see you too.
It's Friday.
We made it.
We did make it.
Yeah.
I don't think they're going to make it.
But we did.
We almost lost it a couple of times and then we definitely almost lost me a couple of times.
We're here now.
Yeah.
Journey took it out of you.
Well, it's been a week, but you know, no regrets.
No regrets.
I know.
So was that your first time seeing Journey live?
No, no.
I think it's probably the seventh.
Oh my goodness.
Yeah.
I was trying to, I mean, it all goes all the way back to my very first time that I got radio station tickets.
I had just started and it was one of those deals where they obviously I was so far low on the totem pole where it's like, okay.
Well, somebody just give it to that guy.
And I went down there with it was down in Pullman and it was Journey and Brian Adams.
Oh, good.
This is like 82.
Maybe the, yeah.
I had just been hired.
Yeah.
Oh, it was good.
But the seats were behind the stage and, you know.
And they were both have been Brian Adams was just here too.
Yeah.
Or is he coming?
Or is he just?
I think he's been here.
He was at the pavilion, right?
Or something?
Oh, that's been two years ago now.
Yeah.
Yeah.
But it's like that they're still.
That's what I was thinking the 50 years ago.
I mean, I remember roller skating.
I was 12 and it was the new hit from.
You've seen Journey, right?
You've seen them live?
Yeah.
Yeah.
Yeah.
They were great.
But you just didn't, you didn't want to go.
This time.
I went to a thing.
Well, we've got ballet and karate on Tuesdays.
Oh.
And then last night I got to go to a sneak peak of the new airport concourse that they've been working on.
Oh.
Where?
It's a second phase of the big renovation that they're doing out of it.
Oh, my.
So, you know, you've got to do Alaska Airlines.
Right.
Yeah.
It's the section that connects to the Alaska Airlines.
To the west of it.
To the east of it.
To the east.
Yeah.
The east.
Yeah.
So, you've got Alaska Airlines on our west end.
Yeah.
And then.
Well, there's a middle section in there before you get to.
Yeah.
It's where the original seagulls were for Alaska Airlines.
Oh, of course.
Yeah.
Yeah.
So, that's, it's that section.
Oh, okay.
It's beautiful.
And now, because I'm going to be at the airport later today.
Is it open yet?
So, I can't see any of what you saw.
Okay.
Because you're special.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Yeah.
And we were talking yesterday or was yesterday the day before.
That's one of the great things of the Spokane.
I like, I like our arena.
Yep.
I think it's perfect for our size of town.
And then our airport.
I put our airport against anyone.
They, they actually study our airport.
Other, other cities look at our airport because it's that successful and that good.
I know Palm Springs.
They look to the Spokane airport for inspiration for there.
They need to.
I did notice, though, when I was there last time because the time before there was no,
you couldn't get anything to eat.
I noticed there's a bunch of new restaurants now.
There were lots of places to get food, which was different.
And I mean, it's open air.
It's so beautiful.
But they have the same problem we do.
Yep.
You have a ton of people coming to a relatively small city.
Yeah.
And yeah.
Yeah.
Yeah.
So it looks great.
Yeah.
Awesome.
And then they'll start the next phase.
So American Airlines is going to move into this new part that's opening.
They're going to have their own thing.
Oh.
That's pretty good for them.
And then eventually, I think the plan is to have one central entry.
And then one big security area that anyone on any of the airlines goes through.
And then you're in the airport.
They'll have access to.
Yeah.
Yeah.
I think that's good.
Yeah.
When we flew into Burbank and when we flew out, it was kind of like Spokane.
My friend was on one airline and I was on the other.
So once we went through security, we couldn't hang out.
Those days are over.
That's how it is.
That's one thing about Spokane.
If you are Alaska, you know, you're in separate terminals.
Yeah.
So they're all going to be connected and you'll be able to.
And then I love what they're doing with all the local restaurants that they're putting in.
Yeah.
And so Chad White's.
Chad White did a little work worse meal last night.
We sat in the new terminal and.
Oh my god.
I'm so jealous.
Wow.
And we got a tour of everything they're doing.
And it's really cool.
How many people got to go on that?
I think there were probably.
Where there were reporters there.
Did they have anybody from the media?
It was just.
But they are planning.
They did mention in their.
Their talks that they're.
Do you think they need a podcaster?
Don't you think they need a pop.
I think they do.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Yeah.
I should put it out there that we're all media now.
Yeah.
Multimedia.
Yeah.
Look at the camera.
I would come take video with the MTV.
I really want to go there.
And then not to get too far into this.
But.
Is that federal money?
Or sit?
Where is this money coming from?
This is where I'm.
It kind of gray.
Yeah.
In the areas.
I think that.
Yes.
I think they got some federal.
Grant.
Okay.
Money.
Maybe I should not talk about this.
I don't know.
But I do know that they are.
Head of schedule on this new section.
And that.
They have not gone into debt.
Doing any.
Oh, great.
Very good.
Expansion so far.
So.
Look at us.
Yeah.
They've got there.
They were in a tight ship out there.
But the funding.
I can't talk about because I don't know.
I don't want to say the wrong thing.
Mm-hmm.
You already did.
And we ever recorded.
You heard it here.
Yeah.
Yeah.
You have to bring up two weeks ago again.
You know, we're.
We're off on Monday.
We're going to run a best of show.
And there was discussion on which show to run.
And we protected you.
Oh, yeah.
We said we're not going to use that one word.
Just that people can still find it if they want.
Yeah.
But for the.
Yeah.
You guys.
Yes.
Thank you.
We all did say.
Well, that was the best episode recently.
And then we all said, no, we better not do that.
She doesn't need that.
So what's happening in our fair city this weekend?
Oh, good.
It's going to be beautiful.
Yeah.
It's going to be in the 70s on Sunday.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Okay.
Which I am here for.
That's always like the one day after it's been rainy and cold.
Yeah.
And then the trees just go.
Yeah.
And everybody's grass is all greened up too.
It's lovely.
So I'm looking forward to that.
But we also have the West End Beer Festival happening this weekend.
Tomorrow.
Brick West right next door to K HQ.
Okay.
It's four breweries.
And they're all the West End Brewers.
So Iron Goat, Whistle Punk, Humble Abode, and Brick West.
Nice.
Okay.
Pay a flat fee.
It's 21 and over.
You don't want to bring your young children drinking now.
But you can try out all the stuff that's, you know, been created at our fine establishments
and have the patio open.
It's going to be beautiful this weekend.
I love the Brick West patio.
Yeah.
I'm going to be there later today in fact for our, yeah, it's like a memorial thing.
Oh, that's right.
Yeah.
And then they have a beer named after my friend who passed away.
Oh.
The house.
Rolls.
And so the money goes to his favorite cherry.
Pretty cool.
Yeah.
That's awesome.
We also have a Josh Ritter.
He is a local guy, musician.
Yeah.
grew up in Moscow, Idaho, born and raised.
And he's playing the knitting factory this weekend.
But now he's kind of created a lovely career on the national level.
I've introduced him for probably 15 years, 20 years.
Yeah.
He's great.
Kind of a folk rock.
John Ra.
Can I have a good concert?
Well, you know that name because you used to be, you used to be one of her many names because
she's been married to many times, but one of them, but you could just take all of the
names really.
And it's like there's so many different.
There's a Smith and Brown Jones.
Delicious.
Delicious.
Hello.
Anyway, sorry.
So anyway.
Mr. Ritter.
Mr. Ritter will be playing.
Absolutely.
He'll be playing.
Okay.
We also have the Get Lit Festival happening.
Starts.
I started yesterday and then runs through Sunday.
This is Eastern Washington University.
It's a big literary festival.
So if you are a bookworm, this is your moment to shine.
It's more than book.
It's like poetry too.
And stuff.
It's like the whole thing.
Yeah.
Anything to do with.
Literature.
Yeah.
So we've got poetry slams, poetry fittings, book readings, Jess Walter is one of the
Feetbird authors at this year's festival, but they buy in authors and poets from all over
the country.
So last year they had Maggie Smith, which I was excited about.
Yeah.
So yeah.
Look at the agenda.
I think something out.
I think Jess Walter is.
He is an eagle.
He graduated from Eastern.
Yeah.
He and his brother.
Yeah.
Yeah.
But boy, he has really made a name for him.
It's really.
It's really exciting to watch when it's a town.
Yeah.
Yeah.
You just feel so proud.
I always put him into the journalist, you know, like, oh, by the way.
And people will be like, oh, his journalist, you know, they like to.
Yeah.
You know, they'll get excited.
Beautiful ruins.
So.
Well, he was here.
Yes.
And he lives here.
That's it.
So.
And then, you know, like.
There's a whole like literary tourism part of.
Spokane as well.
Have a.
Bachelor Lindsay, who lived.
He was the resident.
Wait at the historic Davenport Hotel for many years for like five years.
He lived in a room.
This was in the early 20th century.
Uh, and was writing poetry from there.
Oh, so.
Right from the Davenport.
Yeah.
Yeah.
He was, uh, and apparently he had like a weird clown doll that he.
Sit at tables with.
Oh boy.
So.
Something like that.
But there's some works here in.

Yeah.
Uh, did you see and Craig T. Elsa?
Yeah.
Um, did you see the Kelsey Cook last weekend when she was at the Spokane
Comedy Club?
They brought her mom.
I saw the day she did a bit with her mom at her at her house that she grew up in.
I remember seeing that, but I didn't see the one where she was.
So she, the mom came to her on the stage.
That's I saw on her.
She had posted on her Instagram.
I think I got the impression on her for the show.
Okay.
And she has dementia.
So she's not doing well.
So I thought that was lovely.
And it was Kelsey's birthday last weekend.
Oh.
I thought that was really sweet.
I enjoyed that.
Um, yeah.
So we've got Get Lit going on.
We also have the Spokane Bikeswap and Expo.
Oh, I've been seeing that all over the news.
Yeah.
That's big time.
Yeah.
This is a chance.
This is tomorrow at the Spokane County Fair and Expo Center.
So they've got new stuff, but then they also have, it's a swap meet.
So like your kid has a girl in their bike.
And that's the way to do it too.
Yeah.
I know.
Because the bikes are expensive.
Yeah, especially when they, yeah, for the kid when they're little,
they go through two or three before they're going to have one that is the set size.
What they settle in.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Um, the speaking of the historic Davenport, they're doing a mask grade.
Well, fun.
Tomorrow.

No.
Why?
You took my clothes.

I don't think I do.
People are into that.

Not even we can mess those up.
Yeah.

Um, yeah.
So we've got that going on.
Walla Walla wine is coming up to Spokane.
You might be interested in this.
Yes, I am.
This is on Sunday at the convention center.
Walla Walla wineries are taking a road trip up to Spokane in their kind of events.
Oh, my gosh.
Wow.
Okay.
We'll check it out.
Huh.

Very exciting.
Yeah.
So I'm excited to see my Walla Walla piece.
I love.
I love that town.
I know.
I love what they do.
It's so fantastic.
And they do a great job.
And they're so close to Spokane.
It's an easy drive.
That is.
I like going through.
Is it Washtech now where the graffiti busses?
It's where the influencers like to go take pictures.
Yes.
Yeah.
We.
I think we had a bathroom break the last time we went through there.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Yeah.
The American tile with all the Mexican.
You've been there, right?
No.
You've never been to the American tile like that.
I'm sorry.
Oh.
But any time you're going through, you've got to go there.
Next time you've got to stop at the American tile.
You just get big things of enchiladas and the best salsa ever.
Okay.
Oh, it's the best.
Yeah.
You have to fruits and vegetables.
Fruits and vegetables.
Oh, made things, spices.
That's really cool.
Awesome.
Yes.
All right.
So we have to go, we have to have a break because we're going on SWX.
I love this for you.
There's a lot of structure now.
You guys are very grown up.
And if you ever want to wait and be on our SWX part of it, we could do that.
And you could be on it eight o'clock one time if you want.
Okay.
Yeah.
But you think about it.
You'd be multimedia because you've already been on with K HQ this morning.
And then you've been on YouTube and that too.
Look at this.
Yeah.
I've had a couple of people over the last week say.
And Molly on WX.
So look at you.
It's very exciting.
I'm excited for you.
Yeah.
Dollar hot dog.
Yeah.
Fireworks.
Park in the park.
We go everything.
It's happening.
It's all happening.
It is.
It's coming together.
Our little plan.
All right.
Great to see you.
Have a wonderful weekend.
And we'll see you next week.
Yeah.
Good.
All right.
We're back after a break.
We'll be on SWX.
And we'll be playing the showdown.
We have somebody Todd's going to play.
Yeah.
We'll look forward to that.
When we return.
Happy Friday everyone.
The Dave and Molly show continues from the New America studios.
We now return to the Dave and Molly show.
Happy Friday.
We're back.
We'll get to the showdown here in just a bit.
And we're live on SWX.
And we feel good.
We feel strong.
Hard charging to the weekend, right?
Yes.
I just realized that our candy is on full display, right?
Behind our Dutch Bros.
But people see what we do during the breaks.
Look at that.
Look at that.
Molly brought this.
And truth be told, this is a smaller group of candies than what you originally brought
in because two of them ended up with me.
I like the way you guys negotiated nicely though.
I brought two KitKats and then these three items.
And Dave said to Quinn, what do you like, Quinn?
You offered them up.
That was very nice.
And then he liked KitKats, which was good.
There's two.
Now it's going to be here and now.
So I took both of the KitKats.
And then he said, I'm sure Molly will run back up and get you a KitKat for yourself.
That was a nice little fuel for Friday.
And we've already had our for our new viewers Friday.
It's kind of a tradition.
The McDonald's.
Yeah.
So you know we're going to have a great day.
It used to be that I just treated for McDonald's, but this week I had a chance to make Quinn
pay for it.
But Dave couldn't cover the golf bet we made.
So I had to pay for it again.
Here we are.
Cashin' in.
Yeah.
But we still all benefited.
Now I know how you benefit.
And I know how Quinn benefited.
Yeah.
How do we all benefit?
You didn't get anything?
Yeah.
Come on, buy yourself some special.
Get whatever you want.
Yeah.
But I had a chance and not paying for it.
That's right.
And so, you know, chip in a chair as you always say.
Next time it could be me.
Yeah.
That's right.
I mean, you guys just keep battling it out.
Yeah.
One of the two of you will get into the mix where there's a risk it's somewhere for him as well.
Yeah.
Otherwise.
Sam Adams will be joining us later in the show.
We'll look forward to that to find out what he's doing over the weekend.
I know yesterday we scheduled some golf outings.
Yeah.
Multiple golf outings at different courses.
So there'll be lots of betting opportunities for you.
That's excellent.
Yeah.
That's good for us.
Yeah.
I think Molly and I might need to get out.
At some point this summer for a head-to-head me versus Molly.
That Dave has to bet on.
Or golfing.
Yeah.
But you're probably a good golfer.
Oh no.
I'm not a good golfer.
No.
Yeah.
We kind of like my odds.
If you're not a good golfer at all.
Given our bet throughout the summer, we could just have Dave be the winner and the loser regardless.
And then big golfers on him.
That's.
Oh.
I think about that.
That's.
There you go.
I'll be making an opportunity.
But that can fight and smoke it.
Yeah.
That might be fun.
We should get out there.
If you're a terrible golfer, I'd be happy to golf.
Yeah.
I'm not good.
Okay.
Then let's do it.
What could go wrong?
And we have so many great courses in the area.
And it's been a mild winner.
And already, I think I've had, I got six rounds in already.
Yeah.
I was telling that to somebody the other day.
And they said that, you know, it's for mid April.
That's.
To save.
And I would say only one time I had to wear long pants and long shirt.
You know, I mean, I've been shorts and shorts.
Please.
Been very lucky.
I'll tell you what, even on the crappy days, I guess today was cold.
Do you drive by Down River?
Oh, people are out there.
Yeah.
They don't care.
And they know that it's fine with them.
I will get out and probably hit some balls this weekend.
I mean, I even try to play nine holes with Saturdays kind of open.
We'll see.
All right.
Should we do the showdown?
Yes.
All right.
We have a person ready to play.
It's time for Dave's cash showdown.
Time for you to throw down.
Winning in a minute and answer ten.
Dave comes in and answers in again.
If your score is inferior, then Dave will reign superior.
It's time to play around.
Dave's cash showdown.
And we're going to play the trivia competition.
We call it Dave's cash showdown.
Molly has ten questions.
And our contestant today, it's his birthday.
Yep.
Oh, that's kind of cool.
He is listener number 91 on our power 200 list of our first 200 listeners that we started with.
And here's what's funny.
So he is with Molly, who is number 50.
So I texted him because he said, are you there Todd?
Good morning.
How are you guys?
Very good.
Happy birthday.
Thanks, buddy.
How are you?
Very good.
What will you do?
What is the special event other than being on the show today?
What is the special thing that you will have for a birthday?
That's it.
That's it.
Being on your show.
What more could a guy ask for?
That's true.
You're seeing all the right things.
So here's what I want you to.
So you know, we have a signature that goes out the back of our text.
So mine, my signature says Molly.
Thanks for texting.
Okay.
Basically, it's me.
So I text Todd says, hey, I'll play today.
So I say, okay.
And then it says Molly.
Thanks for texting.
And then he writes, this is actually Todd.
So he thought I was saying.
Oh, oh, oh, right.
Yeah.
That I was answering Molly.
No, I know it's you.
I know it's you.
That's confusing.
That's just my tag.
That's just my signature thing.
So you know, it's me.
No, I'll hang out with Molly at some point today.
I mean, I'm at work now.
But later on the night, we'll go do something.
And she's not a one day birthday person.
I mean, she leads up to your birthday.
She brought me cookies in the classroom yesterday for my class.
And then we'll go out.
We'll hit a casino or something.
And now you're tall.
Yeah, I'm talking your language.
I get it.
Yeah.
So it's a birthday weekend.
It's not necessarily just a day for her.
And so people go to casinos on special occasions.
Some people think every day is a special occasion.
It's sort of on my list of things to do.
Go grocery shopping, do the laundry, casino, come back, make dinner.
More chances to win.
And you're mostly you're a card player, right, Todd?
Or do you play slots?
I am.
Yeah.
Well, it depends.
We let's kind of our go to.
And so out there.
We actually play high card flush.
Yeah, I love that game.
Yes.
It's just kind of a fun game.
You know, you don't have to spend a ton of money.
You can sit there all day or you know all night on a hundred bucks.
No.
Well, not the way I play.
And I love Texas.
Hold them.
But it just seems they've changed the odds or changed the game a little bit to where you have to win like.
Yeah.
Three games to the one to lose, you know.
And it's like, man, you got to win three games just to stay afloat.
So that's getting tougher.
But then I also like crafts and whether I'm throwing the dice or actually the bubble craft.
I've learned kind of system on bubble crafts that I like.
We're talking to somebody else.
Somebody who works here who likes the bubble craft.
Yeah.
They just sit there and play.
It's fun to look at.
Well, worry about, you know, people that just grab a dice and throw or they don't care.
You know, and then the other thing that I do is when I play crap.
I do a lot of a lot of betting, a lot of pulling back, putting down.
And sometimes the dealers can, man, you're just working me to death.
And it's like, yeah, I'm doing my system.
And so then I feel bad for them.
And if I feel bad for them, then I feel bad.
And then my energy goes down.
And then I don't throw well.
So bubble craft.
Don't worry about it.
Man, you do have a system.
You got a system for this.
Yeah.
I know crap is one of those things where it is highly superstitious.
And there's certain things that you can never do.
And then they, you know, so I do, I do get that.
So you have to have good vibes.
And I'm not superstitious.
I'm not superstitious.
I'm not one of those people.
And you're right.
You know, the guy that rubs his hand on the carpet.
You know, and then he grabs the dice and I think, you know, rubs his shoulder.
It's like a baseball pitcher.
Yeah, I'm not like that.
But again, I just do my, and some dealers can handle my bedding and pulling back.
But some dealers are like, man, you're just working me to death here.
I'm like, yeah, but I'm also tipping you because I sit very well.
Yeah.
Some people get their dice together.
And then they make sure that the, that the numbers line up.
And then they shift it back and forth and back and forth.
And then, and then they have a little thing and then they throw it.
Well, my tipping habits, I don't usually just throw them, you know,
a chip.
I usually bet it for them.
So then now they're, they're on my side.
They're hoping I win because now they win.
So that's my, my tipping habit.
So you've really given this a lot of thought.
And I appreciate that about you because I have all those same things about the slot machines,
which I have zero control over.
But he's still.
Well, that's why I don't make problems because you're just pushing a button and I can do that on my phone.
But your phone's not going to give you a jackpot.
That's no way to think about it.
That's right.
It's not going to give you the same joy.
Anyway, are there any gambling?
Any gambling questions on your list of 10 questions today?
There are no gambling questions, but I do have a couple of money questions.
All right.
Let's hear about the money questions.
I have a $2 question at number four.
Okay.
And a $2 question at number eight.
Okay.
$2 and eight.
$2 each.
Yep.
All right.
I'm going to walk.
Cool.
Okay.
Well, we'll see what happens today.
I think we've tied, but I don't think I've ever beat you.
It's your birthday.
Yep.
So anything can happen.
All right.
Good luck, Todd.
Thanks, sir.
All right, Todd.

All right.
Here's your second money question.
What is a Spanish canvas sandal decorated with rope called?
They're very popular shoes in the 70s.
A canvas.
Yeah.
Like a rope.

You probably would.
Okay.
By the time I get her texting, it'd be too late.
So I don't know.
Okay.
What fast food chain uses the slogan, we have the meats.
That is we have the beef.
No, we have the meats.
We have the meat.
Uh, Wendy's.
I don't know.
And your final question.
What toy allowed kids to make bug shaped gummy candy using heated metal molds?
Yeah.
I remember that toy.
Yeah.
I remember that toy.
I thought maybe Quinn would remember that it would be the right.
I don't know.
Man, Dave's pretty safe today.
Okay.
All right.
He's coming back in.
Sam's out there giving him a pep talk.
Oh, now kid.
All I heard was.
Get it.
Get it.
I think you're pretty safe today, Dave.
He's not back in yet.
Hang on a second.
He thinks you're pretty safe today.
There's no money has been lost yet yet.
I like how you say that.
Yeah.
That's right.
I might owe somebody money after today.
You know, we should start charging people for real answers.
That's how I recoup my money.
Boy, then it would really be hard.
Then I would be.
Yeah.
Talk about real money questions.
Yes.
Well, you're going to win it all back at the casino tonight, Todd.
To birthday.
I hope.
You never lose on your birthday.

Oh, no, but that's a good guess.
A moccasin.
No.
What fast food chain company uses the slogan, we have the meats?
Arbise.
And what toy allowed kids to make bug shaped gummy candies using heated metal molds?
Oh.
Shrinky things?
No.
That is the one that was the shrinking, but this was a candy version of that.
Oh.
Yeah.
I'll know it when I hear it.
Okay.
I'm just looking.
I'm usually pretty good with 70s toy stuff.
Yeah.
People, people are accusing me of hard-assery.
I don't know if it was as hard as before.
Let's see.
There were some toughies on there.
No doubt about it.
Uh.
Ormell.
Ormell.
Is that the ham?
Yes.
Oh.
Oh, yeah.
I think of it now.
Dave wins five to two.
Yeah.
Five to two.
Yeah.

Uh-huh.
That's his real name.
But he's a little four-year-old kid in the movie.
Honeymoon and Vegas doing Elvis impression.
Yeah.
So I got to start.
See, and I would have guessed like a Michael Jackson just based on his dancing and stuff.
I would have thought I did Michael Jackson stuff.
Uh-huh.
Colorado River.
Very good.
The opening a bottle.
Anybody on the text line?
Anybody on the text line?
Sabering.
It's called slavery.
Oh, dang it.
Yeah.
Of course.
Uh, and then the Miami.
Both of you got that.
Both of you got Hershey, Pennsylvania.

It was very, very important and sixth grade that I have Espodrilles sandal.

Big corkshoes with like white leather strap.

Exactly two weeks ago.
Okay.
Have fun.
And you guys were you were guys were playing cards that night too.
Yes.

It's science.
Mark is.
I think the following the following day, we want to STC and played bingo.
And actually we both won on bingo that day.
Oh.
Well, you know, our player yesterday, she said, I think bingo is stupid.
And then Molly texted and said, no, how dare you.
So it's been a battle.
All right.
Thank you, Todd.
All right.
I think I have a good day.
You too.
The next time we play the showdown will be next Wednesday.
Yes.
Because we are off on Monday and then Tuesday programming note.
My mom will be co-hosting with me.
The Molly and Ellen show.
Yes.
And we'll be talking about all kinds of things.
But I don't think there'll be any kind of competition.
There'll be a go ask Molly.
Okay.
But it'll be a go ask Molly and Ellen.
Oh, I like that.
So yeah, we don't have any, yeah, competition to hope to stay.
Okay.
Hope you, I hope you get really smart over the weekend.
Well, I need to, apparently.
Yeah.
All right.
This, this getting only half of the questions right and not winning any money.
Yeah.
That's a problem.
This will not stand.
All right.
Still to go in this hour.
Our friend Sam Adams will join us.
He's, he's very much in a Friday spirit.
He is, he's a little out of control right now.
Yeah.
Yeah.
I see it.
We'll look forward to that.
We also have our entertainment news and our hot topic segment as well.
The Dave and Molly show continues from these New America studios.
We now return to the Dave and Molly show.
Happy Friday and welcome back.
It's a very busy stretch of time.
Sam Adams is going to join us here in just a little bit.
Yeah.
He'll be making his second appearance on SWX today.
That's right.
Yeah.
We're all over the place.
Oh, yeah.
Everywhere.
All the things.
And I know that we talked about this a little earlier with, with Kate Hudson.
But we have, we have some major events coming up.
Of course, we have our golf tournament.
Yeah.
We've been talking about that.
But the Spokane Indians, a baseball.
And it's just, you know, when the weather starts to turn and I love the Spokane Indians,
you know, bend to a couple of games already.
Yeah.
And when you get good weather out there, that's even better.
So.
And then when you have Dave and Molly days at the Spokane Indians, that's the,
you've, you've reached the pinnacle.
I was just, I was just looking up.
I was going to try to see.
I'm sure maybe you have a summer, but I was going to try to find our dates.
Mm-hmm.
Do you have our dates?
Um.
I have our dates somewhere.
Okay.
But I got to find our dates.
Hey, Juan, just hey, Juan is something.
I'm hanging.
Well, I mean, but no, but like, I'm taking it longer than that.
There's four of them.
Yes.
And there, um, one of them is a Tuesday.
I believe it's the bark in the park.
Yeah.
There's also a fireworks night.
I think the last one that we do is in September toward the very end of the season.
And that's the dollars in your dog night.
Yeah.
I actually been to one of these before.
Mm-hmm.
And I was thinking, well, how does that work?
Where they're going to put dollars in your hot dogs?
Yeah.
Well, here's how it, it's wrapped up special within the packaging of the hot dog.
And they're like little, um, dollar coupons that you take in the,
turn them into real dollars.
Okay.
So because I had two of them in one dollar and in one dog one time.
You did?
Oh my god.
So I know that it's real.
I know that it works.
Yeah.
Things are good.
Okay.
The first one is Saturday, May 9th.
Rock and roll fireworks night.
Yeah.
Hello.
Mm-hmm.
That is just a few nights before our golf tournament.
So we're going to get fired up for.
We're going to do that.
Mm-hmm.
Then Wednesday, June 17th.
Yeah.
baseball hat, give away night.
Oh, you like hats.
I like hats.
Nice.
Tuesday, August 4th, bark in the park.
Mm-hmm.
And then September 3rd.
That's the last one.
That's a Thursday night.
And that's the dollars in your dog.
Yeah.
Nice.
This is exciting.
Yeah.
We're going to get to invite listeners to come sit
in our, they have excellent seats that we get to use.
Mm-hmm.
And we get to throw out the first pitch.
Mm-hmm.
And we get to talk on the radio.
Mm-hmm.
I may defer my first pitch duties to Quinn.
Oh, do you pitch Quinn?
Um, I have thrown out a first pitch at the Niagara Power
baseball game in the seventh grade.
So I have done a first pitch before.
Um, I, I didn't really play baseball.
So I'm sure I could do it.
I might, I might do a little practice before I would do something like that.
We used to do this all the time.
And I, first I would let my son do it.
And then he grew out of it.
Then I would let Alex do it.
Yeah.
But I have thrown out the first pitch a couple of times.
And I've done okay.
Yeah.
It's gone over the plate.
But the next day.
Ow!
Especially if you warm up, you know,
and you practice and you haven't thrown a ball in a long time.
Yeah.
It.
Ouch.
It uses muscles that you're not used to.
Maybe we get one of the grandkids to do.
Yeah.
All the kids, all the kids have done it over the years.
Yeah.
You know, that's always kind of a thing.
But the, the, the pro tip on that is,
when in doubt throw higher than you ever think you would need to throw.
Because it's your way less embarrassed if you throw it over the guy the catcher's head.
Yeah.
Then you are to throw it in the dirt.
Yeah.
Throw it in the dirt.
That's a rookie move.
Yeah.
Totally.
We don't want that.
Who do we know who's a good pitcher?
Although I think the whole point is,
it can't be worse than who is the person that had the worst throwing out pitch ever.
Was it, um,
Oh, somebody, somebody yet,
like a spectator,
I'll bet you Sam Adams will remember.
It was somebody,
it was somebody well-known
and it was an embarrassingly bad first pitch.
Do you remember?
It's like famously bad.
I'll bet you Sam will know that.
We're talking about,
because we're,
the great Sam Adams has entered the studio.
There he is right there.
Look at him.
Everybody.
Uh, and I know you're a big baseball fan.
Uh, we're doing four Dave and Molly baseball nights
with the Spokane Indians.
Oh.
So that's very exciting.
And does that mean you get to throw out the first pitch?
Yes, we were talking about it.
Yeah.
Four times.
Well, we'll mix it up a little bit.
But, but we were talking,
who was,
who you've obviously seen some terrible first pitches.
Yeah.
There was,
it was a young actress that hit somebody.
Oh, there was that,
but there was also like a,
it was somebody very, very famous
and they threw it horribly in the dirt.
Somebody else though.
It was,
I remember like Nelly or somebody
having a bad first pitch.
Yeah.
Yeah, 50 cent had a really bad.
Oh, it was a 50 cent.
Yeah.
Okay.
Um, Mariah Carey had one where she threw it right into the ground.
Okay.
Yeah, that's bad.
You don't, you never throw it.
Always aim high.
You got it because the thing is you have to get it to the glove
because you want to unscoffed.
That's the rule.
Yeah.
You got to have a clean,
we call them a pearl in the end.
The baseball.
Oh.
Oh.
Yeah.
Aim high.
Aim high and not too hard.
And there's no shame in throwing it over the catcher's head,
but there is shame in throwing it in the dirt.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Well, we might have some,
we were saying all of our kids have done it,
and then my grandson,
and then they grow out of it,
and then they don't want to do it anymore.
The worst is,
and this has happened to me,
get to the park,
and last minute, my son's like,
it's a no-go,
I'm not doing it.
Well, I haven't warmed up,
I haven't done any,
now the risk for injury is there,
because I haven't even tried to throw.
And the throw went fine,
but as I was saying,
the next day,
ooh,
ouchy.
It hurts.
Yeah.
Have you thrown out the first pitch before?
I have, yeah.
And.
They were good.
They were good.
I'm not going to lie.
They were good.
You throw a strike?
I threw it.
I mean, close enough.
Yeah.
I mean, ABS.
There would be a tap on the surface.
Yeah.
But yeah.
I mean, you mentioned a couple.
And that was what I did.
In high school, I was a pitcher.
Oh.
And your son's a pitcher.
Yeah.
Well, then I expect great things from you, Sam.
Well.
Maybe maybe we bring Sam with us to be.
Yeah.
Our honorary first pitcher.
Well, as long as we practice, right?
We got to practice ahead of time.
I have not.
Now with my son gone to college,
I have no way to play catch with.
Yeah.
Okay.
I love playing catch.
I agree.
Yeah.
I do.
I enjoy it.
It's great because you can talk and throw at the same time.
And at the end of June.
But you can't talk to two gum.
The end of field dreams when they said,
do you want to have a catch?
And he said, yes.
Don't look at he's tearing up.
He can't even.
Right?
You can't even say it.
I know.
I know.
I know.
I know.
I feel the dreams.
We just rewatched it.
And at one point.
I want to have a catch.
Yeah.
And his voice kept in constant.
His freaking voice crashes and says it.
Yeah.
Yeah.
And I moved by it.
Yeah.
It's iconic.
There's another part in it.
And I can't remember what it was.
But I had to make.
Check on my boyfriend because I could hear like.
And I was the same way.
I was teared up.
But I was worried about him.
Yeah.
When boys.
It comes out.
There's certain movies that Brian's song going way back.
I mean, the guy's crying that movie.
Okay.
Yeah.
Field of dreams would be definitely one of them.
Yeah.
Pauline Dynamite's always one.
Yeah.
I can probably write it over the mountains.
Yeah.
If you did, you heard it right over the mountain.
How are you today, Sam?
You all ready for your weekend?
Oh, yeah.
Ready.
Are you happy?
There's no big epic golf battle happening that we're
betting on this weekend.
Oh, yeah.
Nothing, Lumen Lards.
That's good.
But I was telling everybody before you came in earlier in the show
that yesterday, there were multiple golf rounds that were
set up.
We got some action coming up.
Yeah.
A lot of action.
Yeah.
We're thinking about next week, the weekend, weekend after that.
Did you get your club yet?
My driver?
No.
Not yet.
Why not?
Did I tell you?
I can't remember.
Yeah.
That's a shipping thing.
You needed to be like $201.
Yeah.
Exactly.
Got it.
And Dave's is actually, I looked again and I think I misspoke.
Yours is below $200.
The one I want again.
The one, yes.
Yeah.
I need to be higher.
Are you playing golf at all this weekend?
No.
What I like to do is I'd like to go to the range.
I think I'm going to ask.
Oh.
When do you leave your driver with them?
Did you go to a town?
I, okay.
The thought crossed my mind, honestly, but I didn't want to ask.
Is that, that's all, that's all these people.
What?
I would lend a club to a friend, a dear friend, an esteemed colleague.
But also an enemy.
Oh, that's true.
A rival.
That's true.
A rival.
Well, we could maybe work that out.
Yeah.
I won't be using them.
So, yeah, if you want to.
But here's what happened the other day.
And, you know, I don't want anyone to jump to the wrong conclusion.
Oh, I'm going to jump.
Sam did request a photo of my shaft.
I did.
I want to send me a picture of your shaft.
And then you said, damn it Dave.
You know what I meant.
And what else did I say?
I asked about the firmness of it.
Oh, yes, you did.
Yes, you did.
He has what it involves you, too.
No, that's personal.
But I, but, but you, so you have the exact dimensions.
Everything that, that I have on my club, you now know what that is.
You're just waiting for the right one to pump available.
Well, and that was there.
And, and honestly, I would probably jump on it if I was absolutely sure that's actually what I should do.
Because when I did the club fitting, it's, they said, I need a firmer shaft.
And yours is too soft.
Yeah.
It's not the first time you insert that.
How dare you.
But I don't know who to do that.
Actually, it is the first time that I've heard that.
Now, you're wondering about his...
I don't know what you're talking about.
If you're wondering about Dave's shaft, it's, it's a, it's a senior flex.
Yes, it is.
Yeah.
And mine...
You need it.
When I went to college.
Somebody said mine's a stiff shaft.
And I see.
Yeah.
You don't want it to be too wippy.
No, his is too wippy.
Mine, but mine is, but that's, that helps me because I have such a short back swing.
Yes.
That I, it needs that little, yeah.
Need the whip.
And I'm not sure about mine.
I, I don't see my own swing.
Oh, you have a great swing.
Have you never, have you never had them video you or like.
Watched it back in a simulator thing.
No, I didn't see the playback on it.
No, I just, they just analyze the data and like, hey, here's your swing speed.
Here's the, you know, all that.
Have you ever had that when they video you and then they write on the thing?
Yeah.
And they say, see where you have it here.
No, you should really have it down here and they write all over it.
Mm-hmm.
Yep.
See what everything you do wrong.
I need that.
It's so ticking.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Yeah, it's going to be great.
That's the best time, especially when you're just starting out.
I really need to go back and take a few lessons.
That's what we got for our son for Christmas.
Oh.
Golf lessons?
Oh.
Yeah.
Well, he's in the, he's in the hotbed of golf, man.
I mean, literally.
Oh, and Phoenix.
Yeah.
I know.
Golf courses everywhere.
Well, that's awful for me, though, because he gets to play year round and then he's going
to whip me the next time we play.
And what would be so wrong with that?
Because then I can't beat him all the time.
And then he will not look up to me the way he does.
Like he has respect for me as a golfer.
I understand that.
I was, I'm listening to the Nate Bargazzi book, you know, the comedian.
And he talks about his dad.
He said his dad made everything a competition, everything.
They couldn't even go swimming without it being who can get the rock and all of that.
And he said his dad would fret over every single thing and sweat and just, you know, wanting to beat them.
He said, once he and his brother beat him at any particular thing, they never played it again.
Oh, that's a rule.
And he said, well, I've taught you well, my sons.
Now we don't need you've learned.
And he said, but mostly he didn't want to get beat by a kid.
No, because it doesn't after that point in the diagram where it's like, you know, they're getting better.
You're kind of maybe leveling off and maybe going down.
It never gets back to where like, oh, I can start winning competitions against my son again.
It doesn't happen.
No, no, once they passed you, they're pretty much passed you.
But when he starts beating you and, you know, that day will come.
Whoa.
But you're not going to stop playing with it.
I mean, that's the great one of the great joys that you can have, I think.
That he'll have to start giving me strokes.
Yeah.
Yes.
Because it'll be senior or get let me play from different teas.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Yeah.
But that's where I think maybe my game can get better.
I'll buy myself some new time with the driver.
There you go.
So when my son was a kid, he didn't like because I had back then golfed a lot.
So obviously I was better than he was.
He was just a kid.
He was starting.
I shall not.
I shall not golf for the girl who is better than I have any done.
Like he would not engage because I was a girl.
And I said, yeah, but I've been doing it longer.
You know, I had all this time to learn how to do this particular thing.
But no, he was out.
Not a fan.
I understand that there are some sports where you just have to understand what you think.
Like, oh, men versus women.
Like golf.
It can be an it can be on even ground.
Oh, yeah.
Really.
Yeah.
There are many mechanisms that.
What?
What?
Continue.
I'm getting sexplained.
I'm in for the people.
No, I know.
No, I know.
I know you're heading that we can be on even footing.
It's just that, you know, that girls can be as good as boys and stuff.
Or better.
Or better.
Yeah.
I mean, but I got a rude awakening on that when I was in Medford, Oregon, when I was, you know, young.
And I could, I could hit the ball pretty well and stuff like that.
And we played with, I think she was 65 or seven years old.
Yeah.
And she would hit it down the middle, 150 yards every single time.
And her score at the end of the round was better than mine.
And I had that happen.
And it was when I was probably the best that I ever was going to be at golf.
And we played with two seniors.
And they were, these women were maybe in their 70s.
Yeah.
And they beat both of us.
And my, both of my ex-husbands were great golfers.
Same thing.
125 yards.
125 yards.
Uh-huh.
It was like, their score was unbelievable.
Meanwhile, I'm thinking I'm so cool because I can hit it.
And it's out in the woods.
And I'm trying to get back.
Same kind of thing.
But you're right.
You know, women and men can compete.
That's why they give us the girls T because we just don't have the same strength.
I had the, I told the story before, but I was about 15 years ago.
I was thinking, I want to start my golf situation all over again.
I want to have a real golf swing.
I'm going to get fully invested.
So I got recommended to meet this professional.
And she's a little tiny thing.
I mean, she's barely five feet tall, not even a hundred pounds.
And she was the person that was like my coach.
And I was like kind of thinking, well, you know, I mean, she's a little tiny.
How is she going to help me?
She actually was on the tour.
She can hit a drive 280 yards.
I mean, just, and I saw it in action on the simulator.
So she is, you know, showing me all this stuff.
Her deal was because she turned it into a business that she knew that she would be coaching a lot of women.
And me, I guess.
So she taught herself to play left-handed.
So she could mirror, you know, and help people.
And she had this.
And she was in court of Maine for a while.
And then I think she's in Phoenix now.
I mean, she's because she's, that was, she was very smart to do that.
But it doesn't, you know, size does not matter.
But she, she just had the perfect form.
And you talk about a way.
Oh, yeah.
I mean, it was, it was crazy how far she could.
She hit the 280.
Yeah, she was averaging 280 when she was on the tour.
Also, girls are at a disadvantage because of their boobs.
They get in the way.
It's true.
I mean, if you're a woman who, I'm not, it's not, I don't have that problem.
But for women who are large-chested, I mean, that's, that's a thing.
How could you swing if you're...
Well, look at me.
I got a problem too.
No wonder I can't hit it very far.
It's like ping-pong.
Boys and girls can play ping-pong evenly.
Okay.
Tennis.
We have to call table tennis.
Table tennis.
Table tennis.
Table tennis is what we call it in my neighborhood.
Well, I do think, I do think that I've been shown up by, and I always like it when there's
some just unassuming girl who will show up and be in a forceome with one of me and my ex-husband's
and they're like, so lights out good and the sweating that starts down.
It's hard to play with people who are just so much better than you.
Because then it's in your head.
Like, I'm ruining this person's day and I'm probably being judged because we're taking longer
than we should because I'm chasing my balls down in the wood and they're, they're like...
I don't think they mind it as long as you keep up this rate of play.
I think golf is one of the things where they just want to be better than you more than they want to move quickly.
They're happier that they're better and they're...
I think they'll wait to a certain point.
Then you gotta pick up.
Then you gotta be respectful.
And if you're basically a bogey golfer...
Yeah.
You can hang with almost anyone.
Sure.
I mean, it's not...
You have to be used to that.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Everybody starts at the same...
Well, bogey, that's...
That's excellent.
You can just be...
I mean, if you get a bogey on every single hole...
Yeah, yeah.
You're...
Pretty good.
You're shooting in the 80s.
Yeah.
Right?
Yeah, that's excellent.
And you get a few...
Sprinkle in a few birdies.
All the birdies.
Sprinkle some birdies.
I love the birdies.
Did you know that there's a top gun three being made?
I just heard.
Tell me more.
I'm just hearing the news too.
The textures were all over it.
Okay.
But yeah, it's just that Tom Cruise has confirmed.
Okay.
I didn't hear...
All I saw was the headline, Tom Cruise confirms...
Yeah.
It will be a third top gun.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Good.
I'm excited.
You're all over it.
You love the top gun, like I love the top gun, don't you?
Well, because Maverick just raised the bar from the original.
So I just...
Yes.
All I hope is, like, can you keep that standard?
Here's my thought.
Hear me out.
Because Tom Cruise likes to fly his own planes.
My uncle's in a pilot.
I think my uncle should be in the movie.
And he should play basically like what Val Kilner was to him in the first one where they're
kind of enemies, like they don't like each other very much, but something terrible happens.
And they both have to get back in the cockpit for the first time in a long time.
And they have to save the world.
Yes.
I love it.
Don't you think so?
I think you got a script.
Who's great and broken arrow?
I know.
I don't know that the two of them have ever done anything together.
Tom Cruise and...
Tom Cruise and...
They're friends, right?
Yeah, they're friends.
But I don't know that they've been in a movie together.
That's a very good question.
How...
And how odd is that, too?
Yeah, they're both.
They both are in the...
But think about this, like Al Pacino and Robert De Niro.
Like, they...
Until heat, they never appeared in the same movie.
I think that when you're in the same stratosphere, it's hard to get two leading men in the same movie.
Because they're in this such a big, high stratosphere.
I could be true.
That makes sense.
They were in the Godfather, two together, but they didn't have scenes together.
They were, you know.
Yeah, that is weird.
And I was thinking about who else, like...
Well, and then Al Pacino and Adam Sandler have only done one movie together.
Great point.
Two actors are on exactly the same one.
And the same genre, too.
Well, I'm excited about it.
I think it's going to be good.
That is an interesting...
But there should be a list.
Some AI can put together a list.
What giant movie stars have never been on screen together?
Yeah, it's like the anti-70s or 60s or 60s.
Yeah.
But you make a good point, because it's right.
If it's a Tom Cruise movie, it's not going to be...
I'd say something like Pulp Fiction had a lot of people in it.
Yeah.
But not...
And then...
I've never been in a Tarantino movie period.
Unless you do, like, oceans 11 and then oceans 11 as all the stars.
And then...
There is going to be oceans...
Is it oceans 12?
A new one?
And I think that's a Sydney Swini thing.
Okay.
I think she's part of that.
Ooh.
She's part of everything, these things.
She is part of everything.
She's part of Euphoria, which I caught up on yesterday.
Okay.
Oh.
What's that look?
Not for...
Not for kids?
No.
God, no.
No.
Not for kids.
Not even for adults with, you know, that are squeamish.
Oh, okay.
There's some stuff in there that's pretty...
It's not...
Okay.
You haven't seen a single love stuff.
Yeah.
It's not for you.
It's not made for you.
Nobody tells me what to do.
Is the guy I want to write now.
What are the guys who was on it?
He was on SNL.
He said you're either a teenager or a really creepy older guy.
And he said, if you're watching Euphoria, you're either...
You know, but it's true.
Okay.
So what are you?
Creepy woman.
Oh.
No, I think, girl.
I think women.
Yeah.
But I think there's like...
You guys are exactly what it's not for.
Yeah.
Well, I haven't seen any drama.
Yeah.
There's a lot of drug use.
There's weirdness.
So I may die and joy.
Go on.
I'll stop you when I'm out.
No.
So I just don't think it's something you would enjoy.
I don't think it's...
I don't think you can relate to the characters.
And now I did really enjoy White Lotus.
That's way different.
Okay.
Way different.
These are a group of teenage girls and friends
who are into some stuff that you have to follow the teenage drama.
Plus, there's a lot of drug use and nudity
and people who just have no redeeming qualities.
Oh.
Yeah.
But it works for me.
Yeah.
It has all of the letters, too.
Like from smoking to sex, to nudity, to everything.
Oh, I like warning.
Oh, yeah.
You get all the warnings.
M-A-L-S.
S-M-S-X.
What are you doing this weekend?
What's happening with the great Sam Adams?
Oh, boy.
What am I?
Can be a nice weekend.
You know the thing that I'm really looking forward to is...
We actually ended the wake-up show this morning.
We were talking about looking forward to this beautiful weekend
and we asked Justin, Spiny, our meteorologist,
and just as well, I got this new app for Birds.
And I can't wait to go check it out.
And I just lost it.
But they call me.
I said, well, I mean, admittedly,
I'm going to be puzzling this weekend.
And then I said, and you know what I can't wait to do?
Momed the lawn.
Oh, I hate to mow the lawn.
The weather's going to be great.
The sun's going to be on me.
Yeah.
I can't wait.
I like mowing the lawn.
I actually don't mind yard work.
Well, I like it, too, because I can double-dit
where I can listen, put the AirPods in,
listen to a good book.
So I'm really a really good book right now.
So I can't wait to mow and read.
What's your book?
It's called Expeditionary Force.
It's a sci-fi movie.
Or book, but it's based upon...
Let's see.
Well, I'm trying to...
I think I've heard they're making a series
out of this sort of movie or something anyways.
So anyways, it's like...
You know, sometimes you get into a book series
and you're like, oh gosh, but it probably ends, right?
So I ask my co-worker, I'm like, oh no.
And so I have only books in this series.
He goes 19 and they're working on a 20th.
Oh, what?
You're in.
And you're just reading the first one?
Yeah.
And you're starting from the beginning.
It's not like you didn't pick one in the middle.
And wait a month to get on to get number one.
Because you do the library thing, right?
I do.
See, I pay my, I think it's 15 bucks a month.
But I probably listen to four, three or four books in a month.
Yeah.
I mean, it's worth it.
Do you listen...
When you listen to it, do you...
Yeah.
Because I got chastised for this.
But we had a dinner date with the people who...
One of the people recommended this book.
Yeah.
And I said, oh, I'm listening to it.
Or you say, how are you going to listen to that in time
to get it returned to the library on time?
Because it auto-returns it.
And I said, oh, I listened to it at 1.5 speed.
And then he was like, what?
What?
So upset.
Because the reader for this, the narrator is so good.
He goes, you're missing the whole experience.
The narrator is so good.
And you're going to miss stuff.
Oh.
And he's got a point.
So I don't know.
Well, I would say it depends, like, right now I'm listening
to the Nate Bargette's book.
And he's a slow, southern talker.
But you want his voice, and you want it in the right cadence.
Yeah.
Yeah.
And the way he delivers it.
If you're reading nonfiction, my son goes through this.
That he...
He's like three times speed.
I mean, he was...
Oh.
I can't even understand.
Yeah.
And he's retaining all that.
Oh, my God.
But he's worked up to that.
Yeah.
And Nadine's the same way.
She's listening to stuff wave faster speeds.
But she won't listen to our show of faster speed.
No.
No, no, no.
You lose the nuance.
Yes.
All the dramatic pauses that happen.
There's been a couple of books where I've considered that a little bit.
But I don't know.
It's up to you.
Why would people...
Here's what's interesting about that.
Are you enjoying it?
Well, in their defense, now that I switched, I dialed it back to a regular speed.
I'm enjoying it more.
Oh, well, then.
There you go.
He's right.
Okay.
So, will you go right from this book to the next in the series?
I'll be ready in the queue for episode two.
Oh, you were in, yeah.
How does that work?
So, it's a library...
Is it a library app?
Yes, correct.
It's called Libby.
Okay.
So, you like it.
You link it to your...
In this case, Spokane.
And county or city, the library.
Yeah.
And then you sign up and then you'll...
You can search for books or audio books.
Yeah.
And then you basically say, you can place a hold on it or get to it right away if it's available.
And they have, like, X amount of copies of this.
It might be only one.
It'll tell you.
All right, Molly, your place number 12 on the list.
Your wait time is estimated to be three months.
So, sometime...
Yeah, this one was...
How long did you wait for this one?
Two months for me.
Wow.
You see, I don't understand if it's just audio, how they could have only a few versions of it.
Because they have to pay for probably the license for it.
Okay, I got it.
So, you know me.
I can't wait for anything.
I'm too impetuous.
If I want something, I want it right now.
Yeah, it's true.
And if somebody recommends something, I go right then to get it.
His daughter recommends all kinds of stuff.
And so, I'll usually do that.
I love listening to books.
It's my favorite.
When you're driving and working out, walking the dog, it's perfect.
But then sometimes it's fun to just read the book, too, yourself.
No.
Never.
And the best thing about...
No, it's not.
The best thing about Nate's book.
The best thing about Nate's book is that he notoriously hates to read.
And he said, that's why it's weird that I'm writing a book.
He said, but I'm going to make it really easy.
I'm not going to use any big words.
I'm going to re-reference the characters time and time again so you don't have to remember.
And he said, and you're like me because you're listening right now.
So, you don't like reading either.
Yeah.
And he can keep it shape.
I'm always talking to the non reader just hilarious.
I think they need that with a book.
I've always wondered that you have those in a hardcover book or whatever you have.
Why don't they have a little flap on the inside where it's like that just has a cast of characters
and then it's like, oh, a reference index.
The reference index.
The thing like this person is so-and-so.
And they're an X amount of years old and not too much, but like, ah, yes.
This is the good guy or old.
This is the bad guy.
Yeah.
That's good.
That's a good point.
We have a new thing from Trevor here.
It says golf talk on the day of a Molly show,
and it's tips, tricks, and golf talk,
and they've added you in the background there.
Ooh, it's not be my golf club, dude.
That's nice.
Thank you, Trevor.
Now, I don't know if I've ever snapped a golf club
in my life, but if I were to do it,
I would do it with Dave, so it'd be a great story
on Monday.
Yeah, it would be.
I had the head fly off of my driver one time,
and it was, I saved the day, it was,
I was so lucky because the guy that I was playing with
actually had the tool, it had become loose.
Oh, the ratchet.
Yeah, and it actually flew off,
and I thought, oh, it's ruined, it's, you know,
and, but it wasn't, it was all back to good.
That's scary.
Now, you know how to...
You heard somebody with something like that,
it goes flying off.
Yeah, you got to watch out.
But now it's, you know, in great shape.
You know, the guy, my birthday party,
Bill, meet Bill Ames.
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
Did he tell you the story about me hitting him
with a golf ball?
Yes.
Yes.
He hooked a ball, free wood.
I hooked it into the woods, they hit him
from like a hundred yards away.
Oh.
It just hooked, hooked, hooked,
threw right to him.
Oh, no.
They didn't write the side.
Oh, yeah, yeah.
Oh, wow.
He's never left that one go.
That's a bad shot.
He says, now whenever he goes to the golf course,
every time he's traumatized, he looks like they're like,
that's where Sam hit me with a golf ball.
Do you ever hit it so far out, you yell five?
Oh, oh, that's a good one.
Hey, oh.
Have you ever heard me say that before?
No, I made that joke up.
Did I or did I not make that joke up?
The first time I heard it was from you.
Yes.
But I think you have told it to Sam before.
Well, he doesn't listen to me, so everything's fresh.
I thought Sam came up with that one.
Yeah.
Thank you.
Who dare you?
Yeah.
Remember we were on the golf course.
That's right.
Oh, boy, that's pretty far.
You ever hit it so far?
That, say it with me.
That you yell five.
I had already forgotten it.
And then when you're scooping ice cream,
I know you had a great tip for people.
It involves rice balls.
I won't bore you with it.
I know.
This is me deep breathing.
Hey, well, maybe I'll just mention it kind of on the air,
but if it's taboo, then you can say we won't talk about it.
But also at your party, remember, I met another guy.
And he was the golf ball guy.
Yes.
What's happening with that?
Because I haven't seen any of this.
He wants to get you balls.
OK, he does.
OK, and I said, you should hold out.
I said, you should kind of, you know,
this is like a first date kind of thing.
I said, maybe you can work your way in
where then you get to play around a golf with us.
Oh, yeah.
Yeah, I'm sure.
If you work in the angles.
Yeah, right.
And I just finished.
Did you know, for my birthday, he wrapped up 50 golf balls
because what he does is he scuba dives.
So he and his friend have basically a license and an agreement
with a local golfer's org that has an island green.
Yes.
Which one?
In court, Elaine.
Oh, OK.
And they scuba dive and they retrieve the balls.
Yeah, I was telling this story.
The numbers are astounding.
Yeah.
And it's in the thousands of golf balls.
Yeah.
Yeah.
And so he, for my birthday, he got a box.
He got all these balls.
He got 50 of them.
And he and his wife individually wrapped every single golf ball.
With a wrapping paper?
Yes, with wrapping paper.
Wow.
That sounds nice.
And so I spent yesterday watching what
was at Kenny Powers.
He's bound down and out.
Yeah.
And he's bound and out.
He's bound and out.
He's serious, right?
OK.
I was like, I want to get in this series.
So I was like, just watching it and unwrapping all the golf balls.
And they're like good golf balls, dude.
They're great.
Nobody hits a crummy ball into this into the water.
See, I disagree.
Usually I will take a lesser ball for my first shot
at the floating green.
Just in case I hit it in the water.
Well, a lot of people are cool with the logo ball.
I can't tell you how many logo balls.
They're all pro there's a third or a half of them
were logoed custom, uh, profy ones.
Wow.
That's why I said that's why I wouldn't connect with this guy
because he was he was like, what legit balls?
Yes.
So if you find a pink noodle in there, that was mine.
OK.
We're talking golf balls.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Yeah.
You know, somebody made a noodle joke.
And it was, I like the noodles, the soft and long noodles.
I like them.
And my, actually, one of the champions
from last year's tournament is a friend of my boyfriend.
And he made a joke.
And it was, the punch line was basically, yeah,
with a noodle, something like that.
And I thought, hey, that's a funny joke.
And only a golfer would get it.
But B, I like noodles.
And I kind of walked up and said, I like noodles.
That was my ball.
That was my ball.
Was it?
So I'm not the only one.
He made it sound like that was the pinnacles of, I mean,
now you get a rock hard pinnacle ball, now I'm the only one.
Or a Wilson, you know, that's, that was always the joke.
What about the Kirkland brand?
Kirkland's are good.
Kirkland, but I heard Kirkland had to change it.
They had the formula that was basically exactly
the proprietary blend, if you will, what?
The probed it into a lawsuit.
There was.
And so they did change it, but they changed it
to another titleist recipe, basically.
So it's not the probed one, but it is a very high
grade ball.
Kirkland balls are great.
They make great.
I'm still looking for the wedges.
They sell out these Kirkland wedges, or world famous, that you can get them.
I think it's like two or three wedges in a bag, in a box, for like a hundred bucks or
whatever.
And it's usually in February and March, and they're gone that way.
They're gone immediately.
I have no idea.
Yeah.
You buy them in pack of three.
Of wedges?
Yeah.
What is it like a pitching wedge, a sandwich in a loft wedge, or something, or a lob or
an approach wedge?
Yeah.
I've never done that.
There are multiple people that tell the same story.
It's like you got to jump on it, you know, at the beginning of the year because they're
gone.
So just like a Kirkland ball, I'm out of here.
Yeah.
Okay.
But guys, thanks for having me.
I'm doing a little preview of what we're going on next week.
What is happening next week?
I can't remember.
I got to write it down.
I got to write the T's for it.
I honestly don't know.
Here's a brand new listener.
Aren't you riveted?
You want to watch a show next week?
Brand new listener.
I would like to hear how they wrapped the golf balls from Sam.
Are they wrapped circular and with twist ties?
This is from a listener in Dallas.
They were almost like, you know, the little candies that you get where they're kind of
like wrapped and it's like got a twisty at the end.
Yeah.
That's what they did.
And they taped on each side.
Oh my.
Oh.
Well, you could tell two people were doing it because somewhere like that and somewhere
just like with soft tissue paper around it and just kind of more kind of wrapped without
that ball.
That was the guy.
That was the guy.
That was the guy.
And there was a box and it was looking at an assortment of candies.
And they're all going in my bag every single one.
Yeah.
All right, Sam.
Have a great weekend.
Yeah.
Great to have Adam.
Got to go, my lawn.
Very exciting.
And then there's bird watching happening and then puzzling.
Yep.
Yeah.
And there's your wild, nonstop local news team.
Yeah.
Not watching you for you.
All right.
We'll head into the nine o'clock hour.
We will have our entertainment news.
We also have our Hot Topic segment, it's Friday,
and we're in the home stretch now.
Oh my gosh, we can close.
We can do another hour, right?
Yes.
We have to return to the day before we return.
Back after David Mollenshow, we'll continue.
All right, welcome back everyone.
We are joined by our friend Jim from Liberty Park,
greenhouse.
We had a wonderful connection with you guys last week,
and I know you guys are listeners too,
so that's very exciting.
And I love the Go Hawks hat.
I get to wear this all year with pride.
Yes.
Yes, you do.
Because our team won the Super Bowl.
Yes, it's great.
Anyway, we had such a great time last year.
We got a tour of the place, and all the cool things
that you guys do.
I know that you opened up a couple of weeks ago,
but now it's like really go time, right?
Liberty Park?
Yep, we're finishing up bringing in some of the last things,
and the sewing last things.
We've had several plantings already.
So we've been going all the way to Long, really.
So for us, this is just start where it really picks up
and starts to go.
Now, you wait for Mother Nature to,
what are the rules of thumb?
Because I know there are people out there
and some they say no more snow on Mount Spokane.
What is, like when do you say to your people,
yes, you can come pick up your plants
that we've been taking care of?
Yes, it's time to put them out.
A lot of things, certain things like perennials,
things like that, you can plant early.
But a lot of the tender things,
unfortunately, everybody wants to plant everything
all at once.
Yeah.
And it's like, no, don't, if you can, don't do that,
but I always tell people that come in,
even like some of the sunny weather we've had,
they'll come in, they want to buy,
don't be fooled.
Oh, I always tell them,
I don't care about the day temperatures at all.
It's that night temperature.
I said, go out at four in the morning
and you're underwear and tell me what it feels like.
Oh, well, I'll get it.
And don't let anybody see you.
But usually I like to see things
a little bit above 40 for some of it.
And in evenings.
In evenings, night temperatures, yep.
So we're not there yet.
Not quite really, you know,
I mean, certain things will handle it,
but you can really set a plant back.
I mean, it may not freeze,
but it can be damaged and it just sits there for a month
before it really starts to grow again.
A bunch of tomatoes, too early for tomatoes, right?
Oh, yeah.
I grow some early because people,
they have their hothouses.
They have whatever, and they want to pick them up early.
So we grow several soins of tomatoes and stuff,
but I look at that typically as a mid-May type, I know.
Okay.
I'm looking at night temperatures.
So all going there, it starts to May.
Okay, the time of the year is good.
I start looking at that weather.
Okay, the forecast is good.
We're above 40s for a while.
Go for it.
Okay.
And you, I mean, obviously you know your stuff.
And I love, this is what I love these kind of conversations
when you talk to like a real expert.
Let's talk about the history of Liberty Park.
I was amazed you guys been about a hundred years, right?
Yes, and my grandfather opened the Liberty Park in 1928.
Family business.
He was a little Italian immigrant, came over here,
worked for a while.
A lot of the greenhouses in town were from
that same area of Italy, I don't know.
Oh.
Avogetto, Indies, you know.
They all came over kind of around the same time.
They did a lot of truck farming then,
worked for other people.
Up by the airport, there's the Hoitz stack there.
My grandfather started working for Hoitz,
and that's how he got interested in greenhouse industry.
And then he bought the house on the corner of the property there
and the front lots for back taxes.
And so he started the greenhouse up.
Originally it was tomatoes and things like that
that he could sell.
He started growing flowers.
Then we opened up the floral shop and did the floral shop for.
And in the year, I was going to say
your business model has changed over the years.
So talk about that a little bit because it's,
I think this is a brilliant way to do your business,
frankly, but go ahead.
Yeah.
Well, I mean, the floral industry is very labor intensive
and it's time intensive.
Right.
I was going for, you know, your six, seven days a week,
you're around, you finish up with the spring stuff,
you've got weddings all summer,
all the holidays are taken up with, you know,
floral arrangements and things like that.
And so it just kind of reached to points like,
I'm not a spring chicken anymore.
I'm getting older and I thought, you know,
I enjoy the growing in better than the floral land.
Okay.
I think it's time we can just close the floral shop,
we're open to the public from April 1st through the end of June.
But then we do our maintenance ordering.
It gives you more time to relax a little bit.
And you can pay attention.
It's rough running both business.
I mean, you think a mother's day,
well, that was, you know, both ends were running at full
board and by God, I prayed for rain.
So yeah, no, it was so now what will people,
what would they find there?
If they've never been and never used your services ever,
what will they find?
Oh, I think they'll find a nice selection of,
try to grow a lot of different things in there.
Yeah.
Every year, we're bringing in a few new things just to try.
And it's like anything else in life, you know,
one out of 10 new things is good.
I mean, you're always seeing new varieties.
Yeah.
We get trial packs in from different growers
and test some of those and and see how they react
and, you know, because some of them are most of them.
Just some of them are, most of them are okay.
Some of them are duds, but then there's those two or three
out of that 10 that go, you know, those are really nice
and they can work well for customer.
And when we encourage everybody to kind of like what we did,
I've been by there, I'd been by there a hundred times.
And then it wasn't until our tour last year
where we got to see how big of a place that is.
I mean, you have the main building, which everybody,
that's kind of what I always thought it was.
And then you go out to the back
and the huge greenhouses and all that land.
And that's the same spot you guys have been for 98 years.
Yes, correct.
Oh my gosh.
Now I did purchase a greenhouse from a rose grower
upon 29th and Glenrose.
And we use that to grow out of also to help feed
our plants down there, because we're kind of out of land
back there, you know, we've pretty much covered everything
we can.
I like in your main area too, which is now open.
And it's a good time for this is that you have stuff
for the garden, like decorative stuff.
That's safe.
That can be under 40 degrees.
So you can decorate everything.
Then wait, plant a little later, right?
And a lot of containers and stuff we try to bring in those.
Most of our containers we sell is planted,
but we offer service in the fall.
So what we'll do is with customers
that have had planters from us before,
we'll call them up or whatever.
We'll set up a pickup time in the fall
or you can call us and say, hey, you know,
even though we're closed that time here,
we go out, we'll pick it up for free,
store it in the greenhouses over winter.
And then in the springtime call you up and say, hey,
we're ready.
So we can plant it up.
And then that way in mid-May or whatever
when the weather turns nice, you're getting it.
It's already growing and looking pretty good.
So I need to do that this year.
There, I am pledging.
I'm coming in, it's not too late, right?
Do I keep coming and buy a couple of planters?
We could talk about what this is.
And then when it's time, I pick them up.
And then in the fall, I just have you come get them.
Yes, yep.
And then how do I keep them alive?
How do you keep them alive?
And remember who you're dealing with?
Yeah, is it watering?
She's the killer of plants.
Yes, I kill everything.
But I think if you guys gave me the right situation,
if I just want two big pots out on my deck,
and I'll tell you other.
OK, you can do it.
I believe in it.
You guys will come back in the fall and go, oh my god,
what is this woman done to our beautiful plants?
Here's the thing with containers that you want.
Get a little bit bigger container because the more so
you have, the easier it is on water relations
because you can water it good.
It'll stay wet a little bit longer.
You get a small container.
And those plants are growing pretty darn good.
And so if you have too small of a container,
it's drying out every day.
You go away for two days, and you come back,
and it's a crispy critter, it's gone.
And so you also remember, too, that you
want to keep fertilizing.
I mean, there's some things like osmacode
or different long-lasting products
that you can put in there.
And those are pretty good.
But when you think about it in the summertime,
especially the end of July, first of August, that's
where most of my see the downfall to it
is because that's your heat.
The plant's been growing all summer long.
It's got very good size to it.
If you're using either a liquid fertilizer
or something that dissolves in liquid,
you're probably going to have to hit that one so weak
with that fertilizer.
I'm going to need you to actually come to my house
every time, be like, hi, Jim.
It's a more in-depth situation.
Now, it's going to cost me more.
I understand that.
Or I'll just invite you guys over for a glass of wine.
I'm like, Jim and Kelly, do you want to come over
for a glass of time for a glass of,
bring that stuff with the, start with an o.
This is coming along every week.
I don't know.
That's a question though, but what is your personal garden
look like?
What do you like to have?
What do you grow and what do you grade at?
I do some containers.
Most of my beds are either above ground.
I have only a couple of in-ground beds.
The old ways where people grew a large flower bed
or whatever, most people don't have that in their yards.
They don't want to take the time to weed
it and keep it clean and everything else.
And we don't judge them.
No, because I'm, hey, I'll come to Myron Lake.
Look at all those beads, you know.
Yeah.
But no, I do a lot of container stuff,
a lot of the million bells.
Those are really carefree, pretty easy to grow.
You know, I like to play around with a few different
new things and see what how they do for me.
And because it's not just does it grow well for the summer
or in the springtime.
It's got to grow well for the customer all year
right now and stuff.
And so, you know, like our hanging baskets and stuff,
we'll put some long lasting fertilizer built
right in the soil there so that when she is growing
in the summertime and she does it fertilizer,
it's got at least a little bit.
And most of those are temperature related
is how they release their fertilizer.
So the warmer it gets, the more they release.
Do you have to remember certain ones,
if you don't get a real long one,
certain ones are only three, four months well.
If it was planted in April, May,
the end of the season, you got no fertilizer.
Yeah, that's right, yeah.
It's not me, it's the fertilizer.
Well, I think it's over to you.
I'm so good the first few weeks, I'm honest.
And then I know it.
Well, okay, so tell everybody the location.
We're at Nathan Perry.
Okay, Nathan Perry.
Just park out in front, walk on in.
You can, there's a nice, you can grab a cart.
We've got nice six foot wide cement pathways.
You can wheel it all the way through
and go see pretty much everything.
And what are your hours?
We are open from, for the public, nine to five, 30,
Monday through Saturday and 10 to five on Sunday now.
And if I want to do the thing with the container,
can I just come in at any time
and anybody can help me?
I don't make an appointment.
No, you don't need to do that.
Sometimes as I walk through the plant shops,
they start to die.
They're, oh, it's harder.
It's like, oh, what you have to look for is, okay,
one thing I want you to, okay, pay attention
to where that plant is gonna go.
Yes.
Is it sun all day?
Yes.
Is it shade all day?
And then you're gonna have to pick things
and you know what your best friend is, the tag.
I tried the tag before, but then something hurt.
I think it's the planting.
I think that's good.
If you guys can plant them for me, that is key.
I think I screwed up.
I think I break the roots.
I think I do something.
Yeah, most of you don't have to chew up on the roots too much.
I don't, when I plant most of our stuff is younger.
You've got a young root system.
It's usually not root bound or anything.
I would leave those roots alone.
Just take it, and don't plant it too deep.
Don't plant it too shallow.
Most stuff is not like a tomato plant
where you can plant it six inches, but you're fine.
Right.
You want it.
Yeah.
You just want to plant, so the soil level in the pot
is the same as the soil level in your plant when you're done.
And then just water it in, set it.
You want to get a good watering the first time
and that sets that soil around that root ball.
Roots come out.
You're in good shape.
I love that you guys, so that this is your world.
It's family business local.
That's the, yeah, that's wonderful.
Let me ask you this, though.
So starting just from ground zero,
we've referenced the tomato plants a couple of times.
Is that the easiest vegetable to grow?
What's the easiest vegetable?
And what's the easiest fruit, the easiest flower?
Like, give us like the stripped down version of like,
like you can't mess this stuff up.
Like most people do tomatoes.
I'm not a huge vegetable garden grower
for a lot of things just because they don't taste
any different than you get them in the store.
And it takes up a lot of room and stuff like that.
But now I grow cucumbers for my granddaughters.
Okay.
And I've already started of them.
They're about six inches long, so within two weeks,
I'm gonna start picking for them.
Okay.
And but as far as that goes, tomatoes are easy.
And tomatoes are one of those things
that people love the fresh flavors.
And a lot of times in the stores,
a lot of fruits and vegetables,
they're picked fairly, fairly young.
I mean, a tomato, they may pick that
when it's just starting to turn red.
Just barely, you know, and then it's off to the...
You wanted to rip it in the sun, Jim.
And have it sun ripened and do it that way.
And so that's a good one.
And it's really easy.
Plus you can do it in a container,
but make sure your container's good size for a tomato.
And then just do a little pruning on it in the year.
Don't let it just become this massive bush sitting there.
Okay, yeah.
I let my son, my son can grow some good tomatoes.
I let him handle that.
I have a box, you know, one of those.
But he sometimes will plant too early
because we'll have a beautiful day.
And then he'll say, oh, I think he should do it.
So no.
Look at the night temperatures, especially like peppers.
Peppers are fairly easy, but boy,
they don't like cold temperatures.
They're probably one of the later things that there is.
But like I said, we grow several different soings.
So the person who's early,
I mean, we try to warn them.
And it's like, okay, you're a little early for this, you know,
but like I said, it's amazing how many...
I swear to God, 90% of the people have greenhouse.
At least they tell me that.
Yeah.
I love that you talk about the peppers
because I have friends that they grow their own peppers.
And I know that that's a different...
I mean, that has to be later.
And it needs a lot of sun, all that kind of stuff.
But what I've noticed from the people that grow their own peppers,
they're way spicier than the stuff that we get in stores.
Why is that?
Is that a certain species that grows better here?
You can get different varieties, you know,
just a jalapeno, you can get different varieties.
And the heat basis can be a very a lot by just variety
and also growing conditions.
How much sun was it grown drier?
Was it, you know, it can play with that.
But it's kind of fun to see the different varieties
because we'll grow a lot of the hybrid varieties
that you don't see, say at the box stores or whatever,
just because a lot of your whole setters and stuff,
they're selling on a wholesale basis.
They're not going to dink around with the 30 varieties
of peppers or whatever.
And so this way here, typically like our gallons,
they seem to produce better if they're in twos.
So my peppers, there's two to a pot.
And they're side by side, don't turn them apart.
Just let them grow, stick them up and grow them and, you know,
but they seem to do really well that way.
So in general, is it, if a pepper plant gets more sun
and less water, will it be hotter
or is it all depending on the species of the actually?
A lot of it's just the species of it,
but you know, if it's a little bit drier,
tends to be a little tougher plant or whatever,
but you know, don't over water a pepper and, you know,
pretty much everything don't over water it.
So your container, you're going to plant it
and it's all weather dependent.
At first, wait till that soil gets dry.
You want those roots to grow down in that pot
and search for water a little bit.
I mean, you don't have to wait till the wilts
if a light wilts is not going to hurt it.
Water it good, set that soil back in there
and away you go.
So I've heard some people,
oh, I got it on my drip system, it's watering every day.
I don't know how they do it.
I mean, that's usually a death sentence
and make sure your container has rain holes in the bottom.
Yes.
Okay.
Otherwise, it's dead.
Yeah, it'll just sit there and.
Yep.
Oh, we've learned so much today.
Well, and you're going to put it to good use this year.
I'm going to put it to good use.
I am, I am pledging, not failing, but pledging.
Now, what you can also do if you're buying that container,
some containers, especially if you're dealing
with ceramics are frost free.
Yeah.
And so they will handle a light frost
when they're full of dirt.
There's will not.
And if they're wet out there in the winter time
and it freezes, you get a crack pot.
There's ways to avoid that.
You can get like a plastic liner to set inside that pot.
And then you don't have to worry about the water,
the winter, your pot can sit out there all winter long
and look nice in your patio.
And you don't have to worry about it cracking.
So much to learn.
Yeah.
Well, they're open now.
Stop by.
There you go.
There you go.
And for people that are showing up
saying the next week or so, any specific sales,
any certain items that's like, we want to move this stuff.
Usually what we'll do is we'll start every week.
We'll have out an ad.
We'll put a few different things on sale.
Typically, this time of the year, it's spring items.
It could be perennials, rose bushes, things like that
that can actually handle the colder temperatures.
We'll put that on sale as the season progresses.
We'll pick out some other items.
So you might see a warmer item.
OK, this week, it's begonias.
This week, it's marigolds and petunias or whatever, so.
And we'll update.
We're going to be running commercials for you guys.
So we'll kind of update that so people
know what the specific sales are for that time.
Sounds good.
Jim, you're wonderful.
We love you guys and keep up the good work.
And I hope that you're with us next year.
And then the year after, and we celebrate 100 years.
Yeah.
That would be fun.
Yes.
All right.
We can do it.
We can make it.
Come on.
That's sweet.
Come on, that kid.
All right.
Thank you.
Thank you, Jim.
