Collin Funkhouser  00:04

Welcome to Oh, brother, podcast where we kind of figure it all out with your hosts, Brandon. And Colin. On this week's show. It weathered really hard. Oh boy.

Brandon  00:18

Oh boy. Yeah. How's it going? Well, okay, I think mostly. Oh,

Collin Funkhouser  00:26

okay. Did you survive your week?

Brandon  00:34

Yeah, barely rabid, like super sick. So Oh, no. Yeah. Apparently, me, the math teacher. Half of the sixth grade have been ill. No, like, some sort of like respiratory duress, right? Like, we've had like, super, like last weekend. had like, mega sinus congestion, right? Like, real bad. And then like, pretty much all the rest of week. He just been like coughing, like all the time. And it's annoying, and don't like it. And it needs to stop now. Thank you very much. So thank you for coming to

Collin Funkhouser  01:25

my TED talk. Yeah.

Brandon  01:28

Oh, so. So yeah, that is uh, yeah, like Sunday. Last Sunday. I felt awful. I was just like, ibuprofen and napping. That is this solution here is just what we're gonna do. Oh, that

Collin Funkhouser  01:43

is bad.

Brandon  01:44

Oh, yeah. So our coffee is bad or right. Also the other reason the other day I was like, No, Friday could be fine. Because I was still like Okay, I just made it worse. So, yeah, that was Ben. But yeah, it was like the short weeks, four day weeks are always they seem like so long. I don't know why. I mean, I guess we because we also do like, we just had the parent teacher conferences yesterday. Right. So that does tend to make things feel like they're lasting longer. But it was like a never ending. Yeah. And yesterday was insane. Right. Like, it was just all kinds of craziness, right? Because we had, like, right at the end of the day, right? He's weathering like crazy outside. It was all sorts of weather yesterday. And so I'm sitting in my room being like, Alright, guys, look, this is what's happening. It's fine. And then I got kids like, freaking out and they're like, Oh, my God, it was a good tornado. I

Collin Funkhouser  03:00

was like, no, look at this, right.

Brandon  03:02

There's no sound stop what's happening right now. It's like panicking, blah, blah, blah. And like, I guess it was so bad. Like, the confusion went from bad to worse, because it was one of the other local schools. Were just like, convinced that the weather was just going to be the worst thing ever because they canceled the game, the volleyball game, they were supposed to be after school. And so all of a sudden, like 245 Like, I get these emails. It's like a volleyball games are canceled. And we're going that's not like 1000 Girls, like every sixth grade girl is playing volleyball. So know how what, like, within 30 minutes left before the school we now have no idea how a giant number of people are going home. Oh, I was just like all right, look, here's plan all volleyball girls in my room now. Go to your locker and call someone right housing what has happened? And then if your friends don't have their phone, lend them you're right, we're gonna we're gonna make this work. Yeah. Everybody else out here or go out there. I'm watching like live weather stuff like okay, it's gonna be really dead bad for like, just a bit. And then it'll be fine. Right? But it was like, exactly. At the end of the day. And so they decided to hold the buses. Right? Which is a great plan because no legitimately is a good idea because the one place where you don't want to be during potential gusts of 70 mile an hour wind is in a bus. Like if you blow a tiny bit of wind on the bus, kind of veer chaotically so A lot of wind on the bus. Very bad time. Right? So we held the buses for like, I don't even know, like, not even 10 minutes maybe, but just enough for like the really bad front part of the storm just like blast through. And it was fun. And then, but because our school has a problem, right? We I think I may have discussed this on here before we have this like, just epidemic of, of parents who, who pick their kids up from school, right? It's a huge number of people. And these parents start getting to school, even though it's illegal, even though the principal's run them off.

05:51

Parents will still come to school, and then just park outside, right on the road or like, randomly at like 230 Oh, that's okay. Yeah. And like, not getting well does not get out at 230. Surprise, does it

Collin Funkhouser  06:09

get out anywhere close to 230? Maybe No, maybe 10 minutes plus or minus? No? Oh, no. Okay, that the

Brandon  06:15

school day for the majority of the school gets out at two or 315. Right. And then like, they let they start letting some of the elementary dismiss at like three o'clock. Right? Because normally what they do is they'll they dismiss the elementary at around three to get all the elementary kids on the bus. Because that takes like, forever. Sure, right. And then by the time 315 happens, the bells ding, and then fifth through 12th grade gets dismissed. And so all the small children should already be ensconced upon the bus. And waiting, right, but because the elementary gets dismissed at three o'clock, parents think they can start showing up at three o'clock. And so they're just ever and so they were like, the school was basically like, Listen, if there's if people are car writers just let them go now. Like they just oh, just like it was like 45. And they're just like, Okay, well, car writers can just go. And so we're like, Well, okay, dang it. Like what? So it was just a lot like, insane chaos for like, 20 minutes. Oh, that's, and then parent teacher conferences are actually. Of course, great way to force us into that, you know? Yeah. And then just to add to the zaniness, right, they were going to give us food. They're going to get the teachers food, right? Because conferences don't get over till seven. But did anybody like decide to leave early to go get the food on the place? So that we could have it? No, no, that did not. They waited. They waited until after all this stuff happened. There in Haven is like, we got the food like way late. And then because probably because of the no basketball thing. There's no the volleyball thing. I mean, I didn't like the weirdness. It was the end of the day. Like nobody came to our parent teacher conferences. So like, we're just sitting around for hours hanging out. Some eventually came. Right, but which kind of stinks, but I don't care. But a lot of people did go over to the other activity that was happening at the school. Right. So that was good, I guess. Because there was a lot of people when I got over there. But the library, aka Susan hosted the first annual multicultural Festival at our school. Oh, and it was dope had like, a bunch of kids had set up booths, like in the Auditorium Building thing. Right? And so like, just like with like, your trifold display boards, and they were out there talking to people and everything. And a whole bunch of alumni. Were like helping to sponsor the event. Right? Which was really cool. She put together this big slideshow like featuring all of the alumni right narrated by yours truly. Ah right. Yeah, well, yeah. Okay. It's all coming to work here. dulcet microphones skills. Right? Yeah. Susan was like, cuz I have the other micro run setup at my desk at work. And she was like, if I give you a script, did you record a bunch of audio clips for me? I was like, Absolutely. That's. That's good.

Collin Funkhouser  10:10

I literally thought you'd never ask. So thank you. Yeah,

Brandon  10:14

I've been waiting for this. No, I'm just kidding. And so I did that we did that. And then they had the slideshow running in thing. And if with all the just the featuring a bunch of the alumni from the school and like, various ethnic backgrounds that have attended over the years, and a lot of them came and sponsored the stuff and then that seven, they had like a, like a event. In the I'm sorry, I'm saying, all right. They had like, we did a when I say we, Susan had them do.

Collin Funkhouser  10:49

Thank you for the clarification. Yeah, it wasn't me.

Brandon  10:51

I didn't know that. Just, I was just the narrator. Okay, I was I was not really very helpful. They had like, all the different she just basically put out an all call to the students and was like, Hey, student interested in being represented, please contact me. And we'll piece together what we got here. So we had, like, some traditional among fashion, right? Boom, was really cool. So we had a bunch of students and then they brought some people from like, their church and stuff to like, fill out the rest of it, but they had like a Hmong fashion show. thing, right. And then they had one of the chin girls sing a song, and then a chin fashion show thing, right. And then there was a, like a, some sort of traditional. I've never seen this before. It was like a, this this group of Mexican kids from their church, they have like a lady of Guadalupe, like dance team thing. And they came and did that, which was super cool. There was a presentation about like, kings and hairs. And, like a whole bunch of people were like, they like modeled their keynote addresses. Right. And so that was fun. And then, I think there was some, some more chin bamboo dancing action. Ah, there we go. And then, yeah, I was it was pretty sweet. Oh, Susan, my be from the next room. The dance is Aztec based. So there we go. That's why it was like an Aztec dance from southern Mexico. Well, there you go. That was really cool. And so and then they had like, a photo booth thing set up. Right. And one of our alumni who is like, dabbling in photography that hired him to come in and like, take a bunch of pictures of everybody and stuff. And they're gonna put them on the, like, the library page, so people can download my stuff. And so they the original plan was to have like, like kids and stuff could get their pictures taken with like the Kinsey girls, because they're all like, you know, princessy and everything. But what actually ended up happening was a really sweet picture of it's like, all of the like, Mom, girls, and all their traditional dresses, like, huddling up and like taking pictures with all of the girls and their big giant kinsei dress. It's really dope, right? It's really solid, that suit super cool. And like, there's all these like, really cool, well mixed pictures of just like all the people that were wearing, like traditional clothing, like, we're just like, all taking pictures together and stuff. And that was really, it was really cool. Yeah.

Collin Funkhouser  13:52

And so, so just to stress this, again, these are cultures represented at your school, right? If you have students that are attending, okay, what I love about that is, is, you know, at a normal school day, kind of, like, you know, everybody kind of blends in of the same, but to see just like, in a very visual way of the diversity of backgrounds and of cultures, they are at a school that to a typical bystandard right, you probably wouldn't even know is there.

Brandon  14:29

Yeah, cuz like, in a traditional high school day, everyone is wearing like, sweatpants and T shirts. Right? Yeah, the amount of like, visual diversity. Yeah, not exactly high. Right. But when you start throwing in like traditional pieces of clothes and stuff, and then the other part that was really cool was like, no matter who was like presenting on stage like, you could visually see all of the The other groups of people like cheering for them, and like applauding them and stuff, which is really cool, right? Because, you know, they weren't, like, oh, it's the, it's those people, whatever, we're not going to clap for them. There was none of that. Right? It was, it was very much like, they were all celebrating each other. Right. And then there was a whole bunch of other people in the community and teachers and their kids from school. And were there also. So that was really cool. It just really, yeah, it was a very visually interesting thing to watch, right? Because again, I have all these like, different traditional dress, like all like huddling up, and taking pictures together and stuff. And it's really cool. kind of environment to be in. So really neat. And

Collin Funkhouser  15:43

so that was going on, at the same time as the parent teacher conferences, or were they kind of off. So it

Brandon  15:50

was, it was a after, right, so the, the way that it was structured was from pair teacher, carpenters were from four to seven. Right? So during that time, like the booth part where it was opened, right, where just like, different people were with their little trifold boards and everything, like just all around, you know. And there were some other stuff set up like a couple of local alumna. They set up like a booth to like paint nails and like do little hair for like kids and stuff like that. And so because they just opened like a beauty shop, or whatever. Yeah. And so they're kind of they're doing their thing and all that stuff. And, and and then acts seven, because parent teacher conferences ended at seven. So a little bit after seven, like 710, or whatever. Program part started in the auditorium with all the like, Fashion Show II and the dancing stuff started at seven. So it was like right after conference has got over.

Collin Funkhouser  16:53

Every night. Yeah. And so it was really cool. And this was the was the first one done at the school. Yes. Yes. How was that? How was it received?

Brandon  17:02

Really good, I think really positively. Hey, all of the kids seem to like really enjoy it. And they were all like, Okay, so next year. I just want What do you mean,

17:15

hold on, hold the bed first, because I'm very tired. Yeah, they're all like, oh,

Brandon  17:22

but next time, but she's like, I need to rest, or I need to sleep. But that's, but that's really

Collin Funkhouser  17:33

neat to see them excited about their culture, heritage and background and excited to share it with others. Because that's one of those of that's how, when, when that's not there, you know, that's, that's where the disconnect from your heritage breaks, right? Where it's like, you don't have that connection to the past, you don't have the connection to the present even right and to have people who are being proponents have that for themselves and for the their culture. Like that's, that's really cool to see that next

Brandon  18:06

kind of what the closing speaker talked about, she had an alumni come who is like one, I guess she said she was one of the first, like, non white students that we ever had, like, way, way back, right? Oh, and so she came in, she kind of said that same thing. Like it was a big struggle. We know I was, you know, kind of embarrassed about this, but like, didn't realize this is you know, my hair, just something to be proud of. And then that helped propel me to where I am today. She owns like some kind of big like translation company and she does all kinds of crazy like what? So she was talking about that too. And she was like, super excited about the whole thing she said she's been talking to her like they were talking for like weeks like just drill into it. Yeah, which is cool, right like but there was a you know, like the Aztec dancy thing like I did not know that they did that. Right and so one of the girls in the dancing who I know pretty good I was like what? How come you always just keep surprising me? Like I didn't even know like I knew you were awesome and then you pull this out like where did this yeah

Collin Funkhouser  19:28

yeah, yeah. Well in that for you to see your your own students and in that in that way of them in it's almost like you know, when students see you like at a grocery store, they're like, oh, wait, what are you you're not supposed to you live at the school. So for you to see them way there Right. Like that's that's really cool. And really, I think that's really special too.

Brandon  19:54

Yeah, I thought was cool. That's why I definitely want to make sure that I didn't miss any of it because I watched so yeah. Oh, That part was really neat. So, yeah, it was really fun. Very long day ish day, but it sounds good times.

Collin Funkhouser  20:09

Well, good. Well, I'm glad you got to that that went well and that there's already at least somebody planning next year. It sounds like

Brandon  20:17

Yeah, maybe. I think two of the kids are already on it seems like

Collin Funkhouser  20:22

Right. Would you you guys get started all catch up

Brandon  20:30

okay, yeah, let's just get a timeout here. Hold on.

Collin Funkhouser  20:35

Well, I I was going to send you this photo of our storm that shows a little bit of of how our storm went yesterday at night. So anyway, you said you were talking about the storm coming through and you're like, No, look at this radar. It's not going to be that bad. That big of a deal was just got me thinking about that. I took a screenshot of the of a radar but no, well, that's, uh, I'll send that to you let me know that comes through. But I'm okay. Okay. Sorry. I just, I just was like, I have to send this before I forget. Because

Brandon  21:20

that's fine. Because it's what I do, because I yeah, I was doing the same thing. I was watching this live stream guy yesterday. He kind of does like a, like, just like, he kind of hangs out. And he like, has this like big fancy weather radar thing pulled up. And he just sort of talks about all the different areas and things that are going on. Right. And so when he was talking about ours, I was like, Yeah, doesn't really. Yeah, we need to calm down, guys. It'll be fine. There's nothing like it's gonna be real windy here in a minute. But other than that, like, yeah, there's a little bit hail. And I know they were worried about hail yesterday, because some areas got like big, big.

Collin Funkhouser  22:05

Yeah, we were actually at. We came into dads yesterday. And because I had to, I've been working. I've been doing this as spring break week. And so here in town, and so I've been covering a lot of extra visits, to help with the staff don't have to go to all of those. So we came in and Megan and the kids were at the house, and I was in town. And I was actually on a on a break just at a coffee shop and I Stormfront moved in and it was really windy, and it's kind of I couldn't see the parking lot because there's so much rain, but there was no hail. And then it moved on. So I called Megan and it's like, Hey, Megan, how's it going? Outside you know, it's, it's that really windy right now. But they're all sitting on the front porch, you know, as you do with a storm is approaching. It wasn't raining, not a whole lot of wind. And then it goes but the skies looking kind of green. And I was like, oh, and then in the background. I heard.

23:13

Oh, yeah.

Collin Funkhouser  23:19

And I went, so go to the basement. And if you did that picture come through yet.

Brandon  23:28

It might No it didn't. I yeah, I know what you're talking about. Because I saw those weather radar things too. So I texted dad, it was oh, say no, there's some, you know, pretty yucky weather kind of headed right to you from these places. Yeah. And he texts me back. He said, I'm actually standing outside your classroom right now. Oh, well. Yeah, my.

Collin Funkhouser  23:55

Yeah, we crossed paths with him.

Brandon  24:00

To see parts of the thingy that we've

Collin Funkhouser  24:04

avoided the fun because I'm in town and Megan's like, I will go to the basement. I was like, Okay, take your flight, take the flashlights and say head down. And apparently it just sounded like a wild place outside. Like it was really rocking and rolling and sirens were going they lost power. It was it was a wild event. They had tea. They had like Penny to like nickel size hail everywhere.

Brandon  24:34

And

Collin Funkhouser  24:36

the screenshot that I took of the ocean, whether it's like a look, that's right where the hook is on the storm, and where it's headed. And apparently like oh, no, there was a funnel cloud just like popping up and down all along Highway 60. Oh, and pretty pretty sure there was one touchdown like I just a mile away from the house because of some of the damage and trees down and things like that and some other reports that they had. So

Brandon  25:08

I was like, Oh, man.

Collin Funkhouser  25:11

Well, that's fine. Glad everybody's okay. But they didn't have any power. And it was dinnertime. And so, Megan call me into like, how do I like this stove? And I was like, very carefully. I was like, yeah. You'll need to get a man to get a lighter stuff, but they know. That was exactly what it was. It feels like we're in the 1800s

Brandon  25:40

Wow. What the heck

Collin Funkhouser  25:48

he was ready for it. He was so excited. He thought it was so cool. Everything was going so. Okay, give us a little little pepper, buddy.

Brandon  25:58

You're right here. Oh, boy. No,

Collin Funkhouser  26:05

that was a little. When I saw that solid hook and the sirens and everything. It was looking at some of the reports. I was like, Ah, okay.

Brandon  26:13

Oh, dear. Let me know when you're okay. So how much not fun is that? Yeah. They

Collin Funkhouser  26:18

were they were holed up in your in your closet actually is where they were for a little bit

Brandon  26:29

yeah, that's not a very fun place to be in. They're kind of tiny and weird. Yeah.

Collin Funkhouser  26:35

Yes. But also it's very centrally located. Oh,

Brandon  26:38

yeah. No, but yeah, safe weather. All right. Glad the only the power was the only thing we got problems. So that's good. Yes, yes, indeed.

Collin Funkhouser  26:50

Yeah, we've been busy with visits and stuff. It's been been kind of wild.

Brandon  26:57

But yeah, sounds like it. Oh, it's hard to click on a fireplace. He would really like that. I mean,

Collin Funkhouser  27:03

we do. Thankfully, it wasn't out for long. But it was very it was a little like, Oh, yeah. Let's do some problem solving. Oh, and then also one of those things of like, okay, power's out. Remember everybody? You get one flush. Okay, what flush one flush in each toilet. So

Brandon  27:25

make it count town Hill boy. Yeah. So that was fun.

Collin Funkhouser  27:40

In some ways, definitely adventurous. Yes, it was. It was pretty fun doing definitely adventures, our due to the after all my visits to this this morning. We had Megan was running around with the kids doing some errands in town. We met up at the nature center

Brandon  27:55

in town. Ah, great place to play. And I it's

Collin Funkhouser  28:00

I wasn't gonna say, you know, it seems so many changes. But like, it really has it. Like, I mean, yeah, like, little things. But there's a whole wall about the history of changes of the deer population. Right? Do you remember the thing like, of like, centuries of change or whatever it says I'm talking

Brandon  28:18

about? Yeah. I'm sorry. That because at one point in Missouri, there was like no deer. Yeah. Yeah. There were like no turkey. Yes. And then they invented the Conservation Department. And now for deer way too many deer.

Collin Funkhouser  28:33

Well, it's so this is what was funny. This is this is this from their sprouts. My anecdote, anecdote on that, I don't even know they have that love deer population over time chart where you like push all the little click buttons to make little lights up here to show you how much the population is. And it's like, it's like 1800s deer population. And you click that and it shows a little bar graph. And then you click the 1930s. You click that, and that's to show pre conservation levels of like, what happened. And then there's a

Brandon  29:02

1950s 1970s 1990.

Collin Funkhouser  29:09

And there's nothing else after that. And I turned to Megan, and I said, Can you believe this 20 year old data? And she stares at me. And I went, right? It's almost 25 year old data. And she stares at me. And I stare back and I go, Oh, rats. I dropped a decade. I'm really sorry. 35 year old.

Brandon  29:38

We all know that 20 years ago was the 1970s. So everything was fine. I don't know what you're talking about. Oh, no, obviously true. Did it

Collin Funkhouser  29:51

I saw 1990. And I was like, oh, that's 20 years ago. No, no. And then I've looked up this See when that thing was built, and it was built the year I was born, and I was like, oh, okay, it was built in 1988 Hang on, I was like, I was like, Oh my gosh, like, I've literally been going to that place like my entire life. Like, really? That really sets up a lot. And again, like, I would say, Wow, in that building of like 33rd Gone 35 years here and then also in 1998 is when the oh gosh, nevermind. Anyway, it's another like, concert having another concert Seminole kind of thing was also founded and like, oh, right, like that's, Nan. I have not known a world without these two massive entities. One of which I can't remember the name of right now. But that's fine. It's it's just so engrained. I don't even have to remember the name because

Brandon  30:53

it's so important that I cannot remember. We talked about how busy we've been the past couple of years. That's true. That's true. No, it's just very like, really?

Collin Funkhouser  31:04

Yeah, one of those foundational things. Yeah, this is just literally always been here like, this is just the world that's

Brandon  31:13

kind of kind of weird. That is pretty nuts. Like to think about that. It's that old finish center. Not the other place because I'm talking about but it's I'm gonna I'm gonna just kind of wild right like it is also slightly problematic that they don't have updated data on deer population numbers. You did all that work at those stations. I know. Right? It there's thinking stations for them not to put the word put it up on the wall. No, right. Did you had to go all the kill stations? I know all my teeth. Yeah. And, and never updating the nature senator. Well, you should be like, personally offended. I feel like I should just

Collin Funkhouser  32:03

take a Sharpie and mark off where I reckon they are that we'll probably share it all

Brandon  32:07

right, just getting I just take some post it notes and be like, Okay, I got it. And

Collin Funkhouser  32:14

about yay. You know that? Yeah.

Brandon  32:18

Just just kind of rough estimate the number and then just like put, just put stick it on the wall. And just like, casually stroll away. Got him?

Collin Funkhouser  32:31

Oh, Missouri. Okay, I'm going to feel I feel really embarrassed about this. Missouri stream teams has been around for 30 years,

Brandon  32:37

as well over the thing that you were at on

Collin Funkhouser  32:42

the thing that I was, you know.

Brandon  32:48

Anyway, moving on. From that marginal embarrassment, gotta go. That's enough. Yeah.

Collin Funkhouser  33:05

We got to take care of a tortoise this week.

Brandon  33:07

That is always exciting. Is this the same tortoise that or is this a new tortoise? So Haven't you taken care of it towards

Collin Funkhouser  33:14

before? Indeed, it's been a little while though. Which is fine, because they live long. But this was true. They

Brandon  33:19

do live for the very long time.

Collin Funkhouser  33:21

But so we actually had to, to tour tie related inquiries this week. So there's this

Brandon  33:27

one. That is that is much larger than I thought, right? Any tortoise inquiry greater than zero is just got to be like a shock, right? Like, yes, yeah. So on zero tortoise encounters. It's very, like, very interesting.

Collin Funkhouser  33:49

When these things come up, because usually, you know, like, they're just people are just, I don't know, like, it's very they're weird. That's all I'm gonna say. Like, it's very interesting to see people who have a tortoise and like, why do they have a tortoise and what's whatever? So there are, my

Brandon  34:14

question is the why, right? Like, what, what makes a person want to have a pet that can live for 203 100 years? Like, what is the grieving long term goal here? Right? Like, what?

Collin Funkhouser  34:26

50 years? 60 years? Like, I'm just going what? So I don't I don't understand. It's the same thing with like parrots, like when people buy a parrot. Oh, yeah. It's a 90 You just bought a 90 year old thing, like, like Yeah, I don't understand.

Brandon  34:46

I don't, I don't understand.

Collin Funkhouser  34:50

So there's the first lady who contacted us she has a dog and a tortoise and the tortoise lives in a little Hutch thing and it's like a little like, right Shouldn't toward us or whatever I don't I forget after looking at my notes.

Brandon  35:05

And it's a again, it's like, I can't like,

Collin Funkhouser  35:13

again, this is coming from somebody who has a tarantula as a pet. So like, I can't really talk about this, but like, I mean, that's true. But like,

Brandon  35:21

that leaves a little box and does its thing, right? And like you know, toward us, at least they need a little bit more room, even though they're not going to move anywhere quickly. They still need. Yeah, yeah. And so you know, it's

Collin Funkhouser  35:37

kind of neat to see this little guy in his little Hutch and you know, turn on his he's got a time you have to run his little humidifier for like, 10 to 15 minutes each time we're over and make sure it's water and the calcium thing applied and actually has a salad mixed well in his pellets that you also spray with water to soften them because he doesn't like them too hard. And his name's Sully, and he's kind of a jerk.

Brandon  36:01

And he's, you know,

Collin Funkhouser  36:03

he's fun. He's cute, whatever. So we are actively taking care of him. And then one of the most surreal

Brandon  36:13

thinking. Anytime you mentioned tortoise, I think about that, that picture that Prince just took with Jonathan, the world's oldest tortoise. Yeah. His grandma met. Like, Yeah.

Collin Funkhouser  36:27

Dad is Isn't that wild? That's wild. Duke of Edinburgh, in Edinburgh, means 191 year old giant tortoise has outlived SEVEN, SEVEN British monarchs. Like,

Brandon  36:41

one of them is like the longest reigning one ever. So think about that.

Collin Funkhouser  36:46

Cat. Yeah. And to think that like, he's 191. And he met the other day when he was 115. Like, it's just like, yeah, these numbers just are just don't they just hurt your brain? Right, like, so I that's the other thing I've like, maybe it's kind of it's just there are very much novelty. They're very interesting. And that's the Yeah, he's a Seychelles tortoise, right? Yeah.

Brandon  37:16

Yeah. Yeah, I think so. So. So

Collin Funkhouser  37:21

this one Solly is like this little, little guy. He's, you know, maybe six inches across seven inches across, right. So he's got a lot of growing to do. He's still pretty young. Then I have a phone call from a lady. And it was like a fever dream of what on earth is happening right now? She calls and she wants to know about our pricing. I'm talking about pricing as how many pets do you have? And she said, Well, you've cared for my pets before, but it's been about four years. And so my brain is just racing. And I'm like, bite was just as she goes, because I've got three dogs, two cats, and a tortoise. And I'm like, I'd remember. But, you know, a tortoise like I would remember a tortoise.

Brandon  38:03

And then she said, don't get many of those. No, no, no,

Collin Funkhouser  38:07

I'm racking my brain. I'm looking at my notes. I'm like, What on earth? I did find this person's information. So I think this person contacted us and then used somebody else because then she goes on to say, I said, I said, Tell me about the dogs when I'm going down my list. My question is and talk

Brandon  38:24

to me about tortoise. You know your turret and she goes, Well, I mean, he doesn't do

Collin Funkhouser  38:29

a whole lot. He's, he's a sulcata tortoise. He's about 200 pounds, and he just kind of rolls around in the backyard. What?

Brandon  38:43

Up, you have

Collin Funkhouser  38:44

what 200 pound tortoise

Brandon  38:51

like, that does not that is not like, Excuse me, like, that's not like okay, that wow, okay, so listeners, not, not all tortoise are this gigantic, right? It's important to know, like the aforementioned Russian tortoise, kind of a small little guy. Right? Not super gigantic, a, like, you know, five to 10 inches. You know, for females six to you know, maybe 11. But that's kind of it. Right? Also apparently, native to Kazakhstan. And that's what I was trying to Caspian Sea region, but, um, 200 contours like Yeah. How do you stop that thing from doing anything? Like how do you keep it the yard it'll just like, lean on the fence and just go

Collin Funkhouser  39:48

and it's got time, right, like, it's got time to to release. It's not in a hurry. It just has to slowly push a little more. And then a little more, like, yeah, this time around. The backyard. And then I'm like, in my head. I'm like, Okay, no, I know we have not cared for this person before. Because after that is I would remember that for sure.

Brandon  40:12

Oh, wow. So,

Collin Funkhouser  40:13

and it reminded me of that story. I heard of how the Oklahoma zoo got their tortoises. Did you hear this? They have. Okay, so it's a phone call. It's off some bells here. Right? The zoo gets a phone call. And they go, I think, do you have all of your your tortoises? And they were like, yes, we have all of them. And they go, Well, there's one roving around downtown downtown Oklahoma City. So they sent the zoo people out there. And they go, Hey, that's not our tortoise, but beat. That's a 200 pound Galapagos tortoise just loving them somebody had this like, wildly endangered tortoise that was probably just living in the basement, and it got too much for them. And they just always did it. Push

Brandon  41:05

in. Save.

Collin Funkhouser  41:08

And now I'm talking. I'm talking to

Brandon  41:10

that. On the phone. Oh, my God. Oh, I didn't sanity like what the heck? No, I just

Collin Funkhouser  41:26

so I, you know, give price and whatever. And then don't send Well, yeah, you know, I know, doesn't look like we get to use the last time but you have anything else? That

Brandon  41:35

was no.

Collin Funkhouser  41:39

That was a, I don't know, if it's a highlight or like something that I'm going to like. Come back to over and over questioning what had happened. Like, really what it is,

Brandon  41:49

but I mean, yeah, like I don't even know. Like, what? First of all? I just don't know, that's a lot. Like, I don't know why a person would want to tortoises a pet to begin with. Right? It's kind of weird. Because again, it's giant. It's gonna live forever. Like what to do with it. Right? Like, I don't know, that's really strange.

Collin Funkhouser  42:21

Well, and you know, and I don't know about tortoises, but I went and I talked there's am a place in town called just for parrots. It's a it's a store that has, I think the name describes what they do, but they're just for parrots affair. And I talked with them about this, actually, because they encounter this a lot with the bird Ed, where the family will be like, yeah, grandma has a macaw. And she's had the macaw for 45 years. And once you know, Grandma passes away. Right, nobody wants to Macaw because I don't know if turtles are like this. I doubt tortoises are like, birds will become a one person. Bird like, Yeah, that's true. And like, they really don't like change. And it's very hard on them. And it's for a lot of different reasons. And so the this shop just for parents, actually will take in birds in that instance, and like work on rehabbing re homing that kind of stuff, or than because otherwise the people are just going to have to put the bird down or like some a lot of times they

Brandon  43:38

just let it go. And I'm like, it was not good.

Collin Funkhouser  43:42

Light, we'd let it like 50 year old Macaw out into the Ozarks. Like oh my gosh, like that. Just put these families like they said, the owner was like, Yeah, we came into a bad situation one time where the person was a collector, and had like seven. Oh, no. Yeah. And the family was basically like, Look, you either come and get them or I'm cutting the nets today. Because it was like this. Yeah, if it was like, well, load up the truck, get a cage. And then it was seven it was also you know, African Greys and the cars and the and whatever. It was just like whatever other birds people, birds, people, and yeah, I don't know. And then and then I don't know how many turtle people are having seven. You know, Sulcata tortoises out there, but I don't

Brandon  44:32

know. Well, we know that. Snake people never just have a snake. Yes. That is a fact. Right? Like, I mean, I'm sure there are some that snake but like all the ones that you read about. They don't have a snake, right? They have like a menagerie of like, insane things like this. Have never any like, that's weird thing about like reptiles you like first of all you have a reptile, which is kind of a weird thing to just keep around. It's not gonna like, befriend you, hey, I understand the primal urge to have like, dog or cat. These things sort of make sense, right? But like, reptiles just like eat things up to and including you.

45:27

Yeah, so

Brandon  45:31

I don't know that. That's just it's always the thing that's confused me, right? Especially those people that are like, yeah, they go like real kind of off the deep end. And they're like, they're never like, a normal size snake. Right? It's either, like, the biggest thing you've ever seen in your life. Or they're like, Yeah, I got a cobra. And if why, yeah, what do you do that?

Collin Funkhouser  46:03

Why for you do that now?

Brandon  46:07

Where's Cobra hanging out here? Like, that? is a terrible idea. Please don't do that. Like, what? Why? Like, it's not a pet. Right? You don't have a pet timber rattlesnake. That's not like a

Collin Funkhouser  46:21

no, no, that's, that is key here is it truly becomes like a collector's piece like that. That's the only mentality of like, them. And the people who collect typewriters are kind of like on the same page, like getting the most exotic or the most difficult, or the most rare. And that's the allure of it.

Brandon  46:41

You know, one of those things won't also kill you. Right. Not just a ton of typewriter related deaths outside of like, noir crime novels. I don't. Well, you know, it done right. And never know. Yeah, but yeah, some sort of outside force. The typewriter doesn't kill you. Right. It's when your wife finds out. You were with your secretary that the typewriter

Collin Funkhouser  47:17

right? The typewriter was not his own volition. Right? It's

Brandon  47:21

not. Yeah. It didn't decide to it was just there. Yeah, it was just the accessory.

Collin Funkhouser  47:32

Man, and I just so yeah, no, they don't ever just have one, or the one that they do have is just completely bonkers and an unacceptable for anybody to actually own. And, and so it's Yeah, I guess I like I'm, we have toyed with the with getting into exotics. And whether we really want to go down that road or not? Oh, no. Yeah. No.

Brandon  48:10

No, that's a lot of like ethical questions raised because then at what point do you like, not condone? Like what pets? Do you not condone, then? Like, are you going to be hired by somebody and then be like, actually, I have to call a person about this. Because that's illegal. Oh, no. Right. Like, that's a that's pangolin. No, great.

Collin Funkhouser  48:38

That's a came in in a bathtub. Like I'm, oh, boy. And yes, that that raises raises so many other questions. Because from from our perspective, like, yeah, there's the first and foremost there's the ethical, there's the moral decision to responsibility, then from a business perspective, there's the Yeah, I could probably take care of that. But if I get it, my insurance is not covering that because every business insurance policy is going to have a like, you are taking on animals that your city, state, county, whatever, whatever save you can have. And if if they find out that that animal particular animal is banned, then you're dropped from your insurance and a lot of people in the UK just went through this with dogs because they outlawed bully breeds, like entirely. And so

Brandon  49:37

I don't know exactly what the UK is doing currently, but in an attempt to do some things, they've just decided that everything is now illegal. Oh my gosh, like up to including like, all kinds of just weird stuff. It's it's kind of intense and I don't Yeah, anyway, yeah, that's it.

Collin Funkhouser  49:59

Yeah, That's a lot of interesting things going on across the pond. But no, they're not okay, this something happened. Sorry, over there. But yeah, this is just that of like, okay, well, that means that if I'm in like just an example here, if I'm in the city limits, and I'm caring for a donkey, well, a donkey is not allowed inside city limits. So if that Donkey Kicks me and I go file an insurance claim, I can't, they're going to deny that because they're going to be like, well, you're caring for an illegal animal. And it's like, okay, like, right toward torque? Or let's say it's made, let's say they would, they may cover me because letters, but like, let's say they may cover injuries to me. What they wouldn't cover as any of the vet bills or insurance or, or like replacement costs or anything like that for that animal because I would say, you're not supposed to

Brandon  50:56

have this. So that's all right. And it's a

Collin Funkhouser  51:04

it's we have to keep that in mind of like, what is this animal and so we know that we have a lot of people out there that who would love to hang out. It's a very thriving community, that people who we could probably serve, but I don't think I want to dip my toe into that of, of the I think we'll stop at pocket pets. You know, hamsters, gerbils their guinea pigs? Yeah, maybe maybe a rabbit.

Brandon  51:31

These are like, normal thing. Yes. But yeah, there is a weird, like a spectrum here. I would be terrified. Right? That. So somebody says to you, right. I don't care for my exotic pets. Right. And then there's like a back room somewhere that you don't know about. And that's got the other exotic. And then, you know, just out of pure bad luck, right? Let's just say, like you're going into the house, monitored by some sort of government entity. And then come in some sort of weird ring, right? It's like, oh, yeah, it's weird, dude, you like smuggle turtles in their sock or whatever. Like,

Collin Funkhouser  52:29

they'll totally like, these are things where it's like, yeah, I have to, because there's so there's so many, like, reptile shows and exotic shows that happen on fairgrounds. And, and, and all of these things. And it's like, I know it happens, right? I just know that that like the world between me approach and a lot of flack for this, but like, honestly, the line between responsible exotic pet owner and like, eccentric person who just do like, except eccentric, exotic pet dudebro that just likes to collect them. Like, those are two different worlds. And I don't want to know, that's fair. And what like, what they exist

Brandon  53:17

in parallel is a Venn diagram overlap here. These things right, like, oh,

Collin Funkhouser  53:25

and I just like I you know, I think I'm fine. I think it's fine. So yeah, I think we'll turtles will probably draw the line at these two salaries go. Like

Brandon  53:42

yeah, no, that is weird. Like, there is some line. I don't exactly know where to draw the line. Right. Like, I don't have like a hard and fast like Blap. Right, like, Oh, here's the cut, right, like, but I feel like just some things. Some things are like a personal level, right. Like, and some things would just be like, yeah, no, obviously not. Why would you have a Warthog? Right? It doesn't make any sense to me. But there's somebody that's like, no, that would be dope, bro. Like, like, no. So yeah, that's a it's a weird conundrum.

Collin Funkhouser  54:23

For me, I know what it would be like. Okay, so we'll go back to the realms of like, reptiles and amphibians, or like insects and arachnids. When you walk in, and everything's in those like, little like, plastic tubs and bins, like those people, I'm out. Right. So if they, if they have like, a nice aquaria you know, terrarium setup, it's like, okay, but when they start having like multiple sandwich containers with snakes and stuff in them, you go, No,

Brandon  54:54

I mean, yeah, volume does play a role too, right? Yes. Because like You know, and but I think volume sort of transcends the species line because like, if you have 29 cats. That's right. Like, that's not kind of okay. Right? If you have like 30 dogs. Yeah, that's no, no, your Come on. That's no, that's yes. Yes,

Collin Funkhouser  55:23

that's something else is up, right. Like

Brandon  55:29

it's just, it seems to happen. Yeah, it's just the vibe is weird when it's like snakes like that. And

Collin Funkhouser  55:35

I get I would pick up on this a lot from people who who apply to her job. I have yet to have somebody who seems like in this in my conversations with these people, or in reading their written answers or stuff, it's like, they never, never come across as being a responsible owner. They're always the like,

Brandon  55:58

yeah, man and I had a, you know, a

Collin Funkhouser  56:02

pit viper for a pet for a long time is pretty awesome. So I know how to handle dangerous snakes. Like,

Brandon  56:09

I don't know if that's the, you

Collin Funkhouser  56:12

know, if that's the mentality of, you know, they always say they say things like, along the lines of, oh, they were really cool. And it's great to have. And my or one guy said, You, I didn't have them, but my friend did. And he let me take care of them. So I'm pretty experienced. I need to talk to your friend about letting a random person take care of a pit viper, like in a basement like that. There's this poor judgment all around the state, so to speak. Yeah, that's

Brandon  56:39

that nothing good is coming out of that, right. That's bad. Like. But like, I don't know, that's just that doesn't seem I think that the word pet is not right. for that. Right? Generation, though, right? Because if you want to think about like, first of all, a snake. Not domestic cannibal. Right. Which is like in the definition for what a pet is? Domesticated is right there. So Right. I don't know. Like, I don't know. I don't know. It's a weird. I don't know how I feel about this. I have a lot of conflicting thoughts. Again, like a person has a snake. That's alright. But I feel like I feel like again, the animal hoarder person. Because pet involves like, a level of devotion. That is like, two ways. Right? Like, the pen is like, relying on you and then you are, like caring for it and giving getting something out of that too. Right. So if you begin if you've 30 Snakes feel like it's not that relationship. Like a snake. Yes. It seems doable. Right? Like fish, right? Yeah. You got a fish tank? Yeah, those are kind of like pets. Right? Those are you good? Some fish? Right. Do you have like a creepy number of like, weird exotic fish in tanks in a basement? Not really pets anymore. Right? Like it's just right. It's a more acute it's

Collin Funkhouser  58:38

more of a collector's it's more of a Yeah. items to be had and put on display. And I don't want to take care of everybody. Animal hoarding, right? Yeah. Oh, yeah. That's, that's the other thing too. Like, then the line between like, you've got the the responsible, like, I have like, Whatever, whatever certifications and license to have this and I've got all the legal ways. Then you have the exotic pets or cool dude bros. And then you have the hoarders like it's just like this one continuum all the way down.

Brandon  59:11

You know, that's true, because that's a whole other problem. Like, because that's what you know. And a lot of Hoarders don't realize that they're hoarders. This is the big problem. Oh, yeah. It goes downhill real fast. And we are. Yeah,

Collin Funkhouser  59:37

yeah. And those situations come up. And you always hear things like, Oh, it's just really busy time right now, or Oh, it's a it's complicated right now. Or? I'm working on that right now. That's like, Yeah, but also you've got 19 cats in there inside like, this is this is not healthy for anybody. Right? And then now we'll come back to this moral aspect of going. Well, it's legal well, okay, gray areas, is it legal for us to take care of 19 cats in a home whenever the city has specifications on how many animals can be living in any one residence, like, also drew also true, right? Like we get into that territory, because that's tough. And then, like, the conditions here aren't safe for anybody, and I don't want to be in this home. So we've got to have conversations about that. And those are never fun to have.

Brandon  1:00:33

No, I bet not. Enjoy. So, you know, all

Collin Funkhouser  1:00:42

that to say, let's take care of a tortoise this week, because they may go and he was very fun. He did not like being they have. Again, is this this other stuff of like, I know, it's, it's tortoise, okay. No, all day can be somewhat intelligent. But like, they have their what they want us to do is they want to scratch his back with a little toothbrush. And let me tell you about all of the of the useless things I have done in my life. scratching the backs of a tortoise with a toothbrush. Yeah, I

Brandon  1:01:15

swear. I see like, head right. Leg maybe? Back? Yeah. Oh, you

Collin Funkhouser  1:01:28

mean the bone?

Brandon  1:01:30

Yeah. Yeah. Like what? Why?

Collin Funkhouser  1:01:39

So I did that though. I sent a picture.

Brandon  1:01:44

Oh, dear. Do they not know the ducks not? Start the owner of a tortoise and you don't know how shells work as well? bit interesting. Oh, well. Oh, well.

Collin Funkhouser  1:02:14

Yeah. Yeah. It's been just one of those weeks of plots of lots of new stuff. And

Brandon  1:02:19

newness. So look ahead. Toward the season weather. Boom.

Collin Funkhouser  1:02:28

Take away when your tortoise is wet. It's raining.

Brandon  1:02:30

Ah, yes. True. Does the boys have a place to go? Not in the yard or said storms?

Collin Funkhouser  1:02:37

Yeah, it has. It reminds me the way she described it. It reminds me of what I see in zoos. They're like those. Okay, just like a big open. Okay. Yeah, yeah, where it's like one side is open. But it's big covered and like three of the four sides are are are covered and like that's where the straw and like feeding is and station is and stuff and like okay, yeah, so they kind of move in and out. But yeah, I think in the winter, I don't know I didn't ask cuz I'm like, it's it's only mid March. Like it's not the warmest thing in the world. So like, what's the winter plans for the tortoise in Missouri? Like it has a good question like I do is there like a corral that needs to like get you put up but I don't know. Anyway, we'll see. We'll see if this ever comes through

Brandon  1:03:26

yeah, see if he like goes into the garage or like

Collin Funkhouser  1:03:31

that's personally my thought is that this is one of those homes that has a garage door that goes into directly into the backyard, so that you could just then corral it in the garage and then keep it there. too angry. I guess it'd be pretty angry. Maybe Yeah, I don't know. I'm not a tortoise because garage

Brandon  1:03:49

is not notoriously warm places. No, no, but you know what Hey, you know what?

Collin Funkhouser  1:04:09

Yeah, well in the other exciting things you to them I

1:04:15

know that's really it. We just

Brandon  1:04:18

sort of muddled through the week trying not to cough my face off and then culminated in the big event yesterday. So that was pretty much it. It's been a lot of a lot. So we've been trying to I told you about all this sand right?

Collin Funkhouser  1:04:42

Yes, you're 50 pounds. Yeah, of sand right. And it's didn't find a storage place for this. Well, I'm

Brandon  1:04:48

working on finding a storage place for it. The biggest problem that I have is the 50 pound bag of sand. Probably more like 60 pounds because it's just wet because it was outside in the gutter. didn't say anything, right? It was like soaking. And so at all this week has been me like, trying to figure out how to dry out say Ah, yeah, how do you desiccate sand? Yeah, yeah, kind of weird but like, I just have all these like lab trays and like little foil things and I've just been like, putting a layer in it and I just my table is like covered in like trays of

Collin Funkhouser  1:05:35

drying out like a pound at a time

Brandon  1:05:37

or what? Yeah, well just however many I can. Yeah, it's it's good. I mean, I've got quite a bit done. Like I have like a big thing, Phil. I got a couple like big Ziploc freezer bags like closed I didn't feel them all the way up because that would break if I picked it up probably but like, I have like a cup of coffee can things somebody brought me an ice cream container Oh my gosh. Have you parceled out but I didn't realize that it was all this wet. So it's like ah crud back to five by Yeah, I just have a whole table covered with like, sand in trays and various leads in staff just tried to dry it out.

Collin Funkhouser  1:06:36

I'm imagining I'm imagining your your, your your classroom looking like at the end of the movie Aliens where they just say swing away and you've just got because all those cups of water you know sit Oh, yeah. I'm sorry sign. Yeah. Sorry,

Brandon  1:06:53

I did have the other day. Because the one day that was like really sunny, warm. I had the windows open and I had him land in the windowsill and like kind of on the floor like

Collin Funkhouser  1:07:04

speaking. Speaking of hoarder situations, like no, no, these

1:07:07

are all important. Don't take my cup of sandwiches. I'm

Brandon  1:07:09

trying to get it out here. Like, I don't want to put it in bags and throw it in my cabinets soaking wet. I feel like that is potentially a bad plan. Right? I don't want to get like moldy say.

Collin Funkhouser  1:07:23

Yeah, oh, that'd be worth that'd be the worst. Yeah.

Brandon  1:07:28

Right. So trying to get it dried out. So I can put some of it away. Right. And then I have the rest of it to use for the thing, right, because I am packing there, because I didn't want to be like slightly wet. Before we use it that way it will be like the it'll pack in, you know. And then you can use it in the stream table. Because if you just put it in dries, but water is just gonna go like just be a whole mess. So. So there's some of that I'm just keeping it and packing it in the little things so that we can have them to use. But some of the rest of it, I just gotta get it stored away. It's a slow process. But that's the other dilemma that we're facing currently is

Collin Funkhouser  1:08:22

the whole time you're like, oh, but this was the cheaper option. This was the cheaper options was right. They knew that the problem of like that. No, this was what I needed to do. But also because I went down that path I have 50 pounds. Yeah, a lot

Brandon  1:08:35

of sand I gotta deal with right now.

1:08:39

Curse you economics of scale

Brandon  1:08:51

man need to borrow another heat lamp from the Ag shop. And he

Collin Funkhouser  1:08:58

just got some metal trays and put it on top of some Bunsen burners. You know, maybe that'd be what you could do.

Brandon  1:09:03

Well, my hot plant my hot plate thing is broken. Otherwise I would because I have some like I have a random large stack of like eight by eight. You know, this is like aluminum disposable pans you can get at the store. Yeah, right that you'd like to. Sometimes you buy like the turkey roasting pan like that. It's like that foil the pan thing. I like a big stack of those. For some reason. At some point, they were used for some sort of experiment because one side has like a just a small triangle cut out in the side. No idea why, but I have a bunch of the house. It's good using some of those. So if I did if my hot plate was working, I could just like toss it up on there. To kind of like heat it like turn on like real low just like heat it okay. Okay, Safford, sand.

Collin Funkhouser  1:09:54

No, go with me. Go with me on this. You just celebrated a multicultural day. I think your your next project for your class for your side projects. What the nice is who can make the best cup of Turkish coffee? Oh? Right. So you get a coffee but be your stand right?

Brandon  1:10:24

Yes. What could go wrong? Everything? Actually, my kids have ever even heard of Turkish coffee before. So that

Collin Funkhouser  1:10:37

would be hilarious. Exactly. They've got to figure out to make the best one. And that's what you do. So

Brandon  1:10:42

I look. There we go.

Collin Funkhouser  1:10:46

It's got my kids involved too.

Brandon  1:10:48

Yeah. Throw it in there. It's there all the sand and a big giant pot and put it on the burner. It'd be like nothing's happening. But man,

1:10:57

that would suck too. Because it would take forever to get cool there again

Collin Funkhouser  1:11:07

talk about Yeah, yeah. What makes it a good a good it acts as a good insulator and that it retains it and you know releases it well.

Brandon  1:11:16

Not not good insulator. Sorry. Yeah. No, but it was better. would be less the heat go through real fast. But

Collin Funkhouser  1:11:27

but because of thermal mass and true 50 pounds. Yeah. Gonna be here while

Brandon  1:11:39

Yeah, so that's pretty much it. So, Scott, got meetings on Monday. So look forward to that. Not really, but yeah, that's it. That's all that's all. Everything else we got going on?

Collin Funkhouser  1:11:52

Well, I'll, I can close this out with a with a with a haiku here. Oh, please do so. Okay. Here we go. Okay, let's see. Let's see if you can guess. Hurts. Brows are deep. Biting fire with term and grit was in hand art

Brandon  1:12:26

as the best Backdraft has ever sounded or

1:12:35

figured out Lord. Shine

Collin Funkhouser  1:12:37

a little bit more light on that. So that'd be my new pet project is to make work on making Backdraft more of a cult classic. That's what it means. Yeah,

Brandon  1:12:49

I mean, it's the most cult of classics because I think only firemen watch that movie. So

Collin Funkhouser  1:12:58

well, I guess I guess if we're gonna go out on a limb and say firemen are cults

Brandon  1:13:08

Okay, only if they have air fryers. That's the only quit there.

Collin Funkhouser  1:13:14

Okay, there we go. Well,

Brandon  1:13:15

it's not the firemen that have the cold. They're just

Collin Funkhouser  1:13:24

that's, we'll just add that to the list of things to do some investigative research on alright. Okay. We'll get on that after a good sleep and after you continue to get better. All right, I'm gonna try. Okay, best of luck on that. Love you. Bye
