Not what wear the goose it was the
really the hat that was throwing me off.
I was like, oh, my goodness. That's elder

suits to everything. Mornings are better with a

middle name. It is your middle. Sometimes I

That's good enough. He else.
Anyway, we're back for july.
We have lived a life in July. I
know. We've both been to girls tampa back,
and and we are a little late recording
this week. So. So I apologize to our
listeners who are used to getting a... A
new recording released on Saturday that this is
probably not gonna be released until Monday because
we're recording it on Sunday.
We were supposed to record it on Friday
night, like, we usually do, but I ended
up with an emergency trip to Utah on
Friday because I had... My 17 year old
daughter down there who was doing some college
tours and she got rear ended
as you do in utah. You do in
utah because if you're doing Utah the drivers
down there are
Spicy. Spicy.
Especially for us for idaho, we don't we
don't drive like that. But anyway, but I
haven't lived down there. You do adopt that.
Similar driving standard because when I lived down
there, I drove, like Utah drivers. Anyway, All
as well, I got her home, so we're
where the episode is gonna be a a
couple days late being released better light than
never. Better than never, but, yes, we have
both had a very full July. We both
went to girls camp. A you went to
girls camp. I went to Girls Camp first.
You went to girls camp second. Yeah. I
just got back a few days ago. I
I feel like I'm still recovering. You need
to share your stories because You got back.
I look for Utah. We haven't even been
And we haven't just
digested. Your girls scout. Okay. First of all,
it was... So fun. I love girls scam.
I loved it growing
I love it as leader. This is my
first time. Going here in Idaho okay. I
got called to be assistant camp director, which
was so fun. Okay. Got a planet with
the Y sales and 1 of my, like,
really good friends. He was a camp leader.
So it was really fun. We went... It
was very short camp this year. 2 nights,
which is just like, wow. 2 nights 3
days. The reason it was short is because
we wanted a very particular camp. A church
camp okay. That is right on the lake.
Okay.
Cascade. And
we were not first in line to get
that camp. Oh, in the peck order. The
reservation new reservation system these days. It's it's
wild it's wild. It's very convoluted and complex.
And yeah. There's different dates for different people.
Here with tiers. We were very low on
the tier to have acts access to this
camp. So by the time we had reserved
to get had take what we could get,
which was a Monday night and a Tuesday
night. Okay. So we did it. But it
was great. We thought, you know better go
to great camp, yeah we can do water
sport Exactly. And leave them wanting more. Exactly.
Than to go to a dry camp in
the desert.
Within is very with not a treat to
be found, especially considering right now. It's like,
been Yeah. Hundred degrees in Idaho. Yeah. So
so But it was great. Our y sales
did such a great job helping us plan
it, but I have to tell you about
the funniest part. Okay. The the...
Sn ooze. You know, every camp has been
mishap. You told me you had some good
girls camp stories and you were refusing to
share because you were, like, I'm going to
d on the podcast. We had a few
mishap, every camp. Every camp does, but the
most comic of our mishap. Okay.
During the testimony me. Okay. So girls camp
these days. We didn't do this in my
day. Okay but they do this in my
daughter's generation. They do a faith walk. Yes.
Which is basically a walk through the woods,
quiet,
reverend reflective reflective. There's some signs like, you
put up some signs with some scriptures and
such, So our y sales were, like, we'd
have to do Faith. Great. You guys are
in charge. They planned it out. We helped
to make the posters.
This walk.
Goes through the woods of camp and ends
at the lake. Okay. To... At the... This
campsite site has a private docks
right on the lake. And so we thought,
okay. If we end up the lake. Let's
do our testimony meeting at the lake. Because
that would be really be so pretty. Like,
it's so beautiful.
So we did. And then the y scales
when they were planning Camp, our theme this
year was, let your light shine. Okay? And
the y. Top of their list of things
they wanted was floating lanterns on the way.
Okay. So we're like, okay. Yeah. We'll make
it happen. So So the plan was the
girls do their faith walk. They come out
by the lake. They are given a floating
lantern to right on with like a market.
To write, like, how they're gonna let their
light shine in cause a battery operator candle
in here because we're not gonna start a
forest fire. Yep. We're got enough of those
going on right now. And we're gonna put
it in the lakes. So Okay.
Amy, my c planner and I had came
up with We thought well, what... How are
we gonna, like,
not send these out into the... Like, how
we're gonna get these? Okay. So we came
up with the...
What we thought was a really great sister.
Okay. We created a rope
with pool noodles.
Okay. To, like, create a barrier for our
lantern. So the lanterns would stay in a
little... In a that. We're we're tied the
rope to the dock. We tied the other
end to, like, some trees.
There is a boundary for the lantern. Okay.
Okay. And then, Amy and I wore swimsuit
suits under our clothes. Okay. Because we thought,
okay, the ed, we'll just get in the
water would... Get them. Because this is not
very deep water. Yes. Where we're rope off.
We can just walk right in. K. So
the problem was
get when we back home buying the pool
noodles to make the rope contraption. Okay? We
grossly
underestimated the, you know, the perception of, like,
hey, how many pool noodles will it take?
Oh, you go from the dock to the
trees? Oh dear. So we're a few pool
noodle short.
So we were cutting... We cut the pool
noodles and spaced out. So there were small
gaps. Okay. Between each little section of pool
noodles. So we thought, okay. It'll it'll work.
It'll keep them in.
No. Here. So
so
so we're... You have a few Escape piece?
We had an Escape. This which is 1.
Well, started with long dear. This happened. Like,
we have, like, beautiful music playing. We have
our giant picture of Jesus which we painted
which I think we talked about talked about
the our Ivf podcast. Paint by number. We
revealed it there. The girls were so like,
excited to see, like, I it That's 1
of my friends saw which came over to
get a spray tan from your daughter, and
she said it's gorgeous. I'll show you a
picture. So picture the setting. It's dusk.
Okay. Fun is setting. It's gorgeous. It's quiet.
It's revere the girls are 1 at a
time coming out of the woods,
riding on their lanterns. Okay. Letting it loose
in the water. Okay. They're all sitting there
in 1 lantern, probably only half the girls
are back from the walk. Okay. 1 lantern
jumps in the rope and starts b. So
into k cascade light, into Cascade light. So
I am texting
there's a couple people back. I was like,
we're a life. Bring some life jackets back
at camp because I'm like, our our our
little waiting is now gonna be a swim.
So I'm like bring some life jackets, please.
We get some live jacket. So we're ready.
Yeah like, okay, we're gonna go for a
little swim when this is over a little
more than we thought.
But then that, like, more...
Girls are putting their lanterns and they're fine,
but this 1 lantern,
it's really traveling. And we're like, oh, it's
getting really far.
Ding it. We should have left a kayak
down here. Yes. We had put away all
of
all the white equipment
because we thought we won't need it. Like,
we really could use that kayak now.
Anyways, testimony meeting hasn't started. Girls are still
putting their floating lantern in. Then we see
a boat out y or and our little
lantern is far enough now that this boat
is like, what is this?
So the boat comes to inspect, and when
the vote comes to inspect, it makes a
bunch of waves oh dear. And the waves.
All left all the land would start jumping
the fence because of the rings. I might
my gosh this is hilarious. So then the
boat like, comes closer to us pulls up
to the beach right by our camp, obviously,
that made most of the waves, and it's
a ranger.
Then we'll yeah. So all the girls are
quietly whispering because, like, the music is playing.
We're we're being reverend, but now we have
a ranger, So this is exciting. So
So the bishop our young women's president went
and talk to him. Turns out he's a
member of the church up there in the
Cascade war. So he at least with and
he said, this looks like an object. And
I said gonorrhea aw, and they said, yeah.
He... And he... They said, I think the
bishop had something to him Like, yeah, we
only had 1 that escaped till your waves
hit. And now they're all out.
Kind of like, this is your fault, mister
Roger. Yeah. If you would just day put
and I grabbed the lantern turn.
So the ranger was so nice. He was,
like, would you like help collecting them, and
we were like, yes, please
watch so
so he gently takes his boat out and
starts collecting the rogue, which at this point
is maybe, like, half. Okay. Half of our
20 is.
So in the meantime,
our government's rooms present and Amy jump in
the water and they're, like, shortening
the the rope system. We're retiring. We're squeezing
the know the together... By this time, we
have a very, very tiny
triangle of rope, like, where you balance.
So when we get them back, we put
them in their tiny
space. We'll and carry on with our testimony
over. But it was so funny because I'm
like, wow. We didn't know we were gonna
get a testimony meeting and a show tonight.
This is highly entertaining. But in the end,
I was like, oh, I'm so glad that
ranger came because Amy and I would have
been swimming halfway across the list. And dang
would have in the dark in the Kayak.
This trying to get the lanterns turns.
That was really good. Oh, gosh. That's hilarious.
But it was lovely. It was just hilarious.
Okay. Well, I I cannot... I... I'm I'm
afraid Cannot stop your your girls camp story.
I will tell you our girls camp went
really well. I was not the camp director.
I was the camp cook along with my
husband, but we agreed to go on a
bunch of their activities.
My camp was significantly longer than you york.
Mine started on Tuesday and ended Saturday. So
it was a long log camp. In, I
will just tell you, in those 5 days,
I logged over 20000 steps first. Every single
day, 1 day I logged 27000
steps. Wow. So it was a very active
camp.
The first day we went backpack packing. I
had never been backpack packing before. I think
I talked about this with David on the
podcast.
Nor had I ever peed in the woods.
Okay. I would do the backpack packing thing
again, but the peeing in the woods, no.
I don't like peeing in the woods.
Unfortunately, I don't think you could do the
backpack with out doing the peeing in the
woods. I mean, shoot. It's a package deal.
It's kind of a package deal. So I
did tell them my... You know, and my
husband to his credit
because he understands the princess that I am.
He made this a wonderful experience for me.
So so... And I was like, 24 hours,
I could do anything for 24 hours. And
so
Anyway, it was fun. I'm glad I didn't.
I would probably go again with him. I
don't know if I would go with anybody
else because,
again, I don't mind making a fool of
myself peeing in the woods in front of
my husband, but I don't know if I
wear little awkward white. So they're awkward Yeah.
Anyway, but we got to camp. We cooked
grow good food.
The biggest struggle that we had with our
campus because we had all of these activities.
I mean, we... Those girls were on the
move all day long.
It was...
It it literally takes twice as long to
get them packed up and going as you
anticipate that it's going to be.
And so I came away from camp with
a new appreciation for how in the world
B Young moved the saints across America
because Well, in so much stuff. Yeah. Like,
the stuff that you're because you also did
bike. He did a about You red the
river rafting and brought your own raft. Yes.
I do not. I cannot comprehend how you
haul this amount of stuff Oh, it was
it was insane. So the the straps were
all inflated. Well. Mh. And so my husband
and I had our paddle boards, but our
paddle boards were inflatable, and we just threw
them in the back of our pickup. We
have this
this brother in our ward, and his daughter
was AYC.
And,
she kept saying, oh, yeah. Our trailer will
fit everything.
And Darren and I are both like, Know
about that. Mh. Then we saw the trailer.
Oh, my gosh. He has what kind of
trailers. It's an it's an enclosed, trailer.
He does a lot of biking, and so
he I think causes his Atv and motorbikes
and whatnot in it? So is that what
they put all the bikes? So they put
all of the bikes in there and, again,
the rash were deflate, so they were able
to put those in there. And then all
of the girls, you know, camping stuff they
put in there, and and there was still
space in there. I why Was impressed. We
didn't even attempt to, like, throw our cooking
stuff in there. We brought our own trailer
up with our cooking stuff. Because we were
at a camp where we didn't have access
to a lodge. And so we had to
basically create a whole outdoor kitchen. And so
we've got all the cooking stuff to create
an outdoor kitchen. So we brought our pickup
with our own trailer that had all of
our kitchen stuff in it. So that's a
lot of stuff. I can't imagine. It's it
we had a full trailer and, yeah. Several
pickups. Yeah. The yeah. The logistics of this
were were nothing short of amazing. I do
have to say we do have our own
cool beach story. So the last day Friday
that they were there before we left Saturday
morning. They had gone biking in the morning.
They were late getting back from Biking because
they were late starting biking.
And then,
they need... They really wanted to go to
Alta Lake, which is about a 5 minute
drive. So the camp director came to me
and she said, you know, they really wanna
go to the lake. I wanna maximize their
length time. We still have our faith walk.
We still have our testimony meeting? Mh. She
said, would you guys be willing to bring
dinner down to the lake? And I said,
well,
let's have Darren and I drive down to
the lake and see what the logistics look
like to bring dinner down to the lake.
And so
you know, we went down there, and we
probably spent an hour hour and a half
there, you know, with the girls hanging out
before we headed back to camp to cook
dinner.
And we... The parking was adequate enough, and
there was a table right there by where
the girls were like a built in picnic
table that were, like, Yeah. This is easy.
We can bring dinner down to the lake.
So we went back to Camp. We were
doing a baked z that night that we
cooked in dutch ovens, and so we just
cooked in the dutch ovens and brought the
dutch ovens back. With a caesar salad and
rolls, and the girls had no idea they
were gonna get to eat on the beach.
Oh okay. And so they got their plates
and all on their own. They went and
informed a circle on the beach and they
were just it eating together, the leaders were
off. Mh. With this was just the girls
because, again, this camp is just a, you
know, and It's for these girls to bond.
Right. And so just all on their own,
they went and sat on the beach together
in a big circle, eating, and we were
kinda standing back. Can just playing kinda, you
know, the silly games that teenage girls play
and the sun was setting, and it was
just really, really, really cool. The girls loved
it. Love that. Our girls got along so
great too. Yeah. There's just something
drama. No. None at all at ours. I
think there's just something magical about girls camp,
Like,
but I don't think it's always that way
because when I first moved into this ward,
I was the girls camp director for 3
years. And, oh, my gosh.
I think it's about personalities. I think the
girl... Current girls have personalities that get along.
We have, like, 35 girls. And let me
tell you. Oh, there. Wow. That gel.
Zoo. How many did you have this year?
14. See. I also have a running theory?
Because our word only has about to 20.
Okay. I have a running theory that the
smaller you get, the less likely you're to
have drama.
Oh, I don't think that's probably a good
there. I don't know if that's true. I
mean, we just have a really good group
of girls right now And it sounds like
you do too. Like, we just have really
good girls that are not about the drama.
Yeah. But I also do think it helps
Yeah. That smaller numbers. I think you're absolutely
right about that because you have... I mean,
when I had... Between 30 and 35 girls,
I had personalities from 1 spectrum to the
other And I think they're more likely to
break off into little exactly when they get
bigger like that. When they're smaller. Right. They
can all hang together, you know? Exactly. So...
Alright. Well, we probably ought to do some
news stories you know. We could talk about
girls camp all night Find out. Before we
get to the new stories, we do need
to thank our our sponsor post them. Yeah.
Now usually, I like to have a post
beverage and we're recording. I was post to
bake a post some goody this month. But
I failed. I didn't... You know what? I
didn't... I thought there's no way knowing your
schedule that you were gonna get to the
post of goody, Maybe next month. Maybe next
month, and just with our crazy schedule, we
did not get our post beverages tonight, but
we do wanna thank post them for being
our sponsor.
And
definitely, I will return. I think the next
in 2 weeks. No. We do 2 weeks,
We we record again. That's not because we're
early August. And so hopefully, we'll either have
a baked good or a post drink for
that. Yes. And try something new with post
them. So thank you your host. Thank you
Post. Okay. First story we have this week
is, you know, we have the 20 fourth
of July this week. Yes. Which... I totally
forgot about until I read this off. Because
we don't can. We were at Cab. Also,
we don't do much here to celebrate, But
it's a big deal in Utah. It is.
So there was an article released by the
church News about how they celebrated in Utah
this year,
they had a parade.
Through Salt Lake as they do, I guess,
I've never I... It's bought about the days
of 47 grade. I've never been to... Well,
I've never lived in Utah really during the
20 fourth. I was only there for college.
Did you ever go to this frame Never
lived there? Went to the parade, but let
me tell you what I did go to
when I was there that I thought was
so cool.
So in order to have, people not doing
last minute parade floats. Mh. They make you
finish your parade float about 3 or 4
days before the parade, and they haul your
parade float to a convention center, at all
of the parade floats are on display at
the convention Same to do that in Portland
for the exactly. So you could go see
the floats because
I'm not 1 to wanna go stand in
a line in the crowd for a parade.
I will watch it on Tv, love parade
on Tv,
but
Again, you can't really see them up close
and personal. So it's so fun to go
see the floats up close and personal. Okay.
And so I have done that. But every
year,
they have a grand marshal of these upgrades.
And they also have,
they have you have to be a member
of daughters of the Utah pioneers. They they
have a have a like, a beauty pageant
contest. So I can't remember what... With the
title like, a days of 47 princess. And
days a 47 queen or something like that.
But you have to have be part of
the daughters of the Utah pioneer, so you
have to have some latency fancy.
To pioneer ancestry that came into the Utah
Valley. So the grand Marshal this year was
elder Bed. Yes. And the... This article had
pictures of her and his wife in Yes.
The lead float car. They were in a
jeep an open top jeep. Yes. The lead
car waving to everybody
I did a double tank. You said you
did too. I did hear because I did
not recognize him. The... I was like that
Face looks familiar.
As... Because it was the first thing I
saw when I opened the article before I
had read who the gram marshal was. I
was like, well, that face looks really familiar.
He's in a cowboy hat,
jeans
and, like, a button up plaid shirt shirts.
Not what weird the goose... It was the
really the hat that was throwing me off.
I was like, oh, my goodness. That elder
a bed bar. It just have never seen
him that way. I really was shocked because
I thought that they were required to wear
their suits to everything. Well,
especially like a public event. I thought so
too.
And sister Bed was sitting next to him,
and she also had on jeans, so she
had on a white button down shirt, like
a bandana. Yeah. And a little man bandana
around her neck. But it was just... I'd
honestly, I didn't even recognize him my I
don't think I have elder ever seen elder
Bed na,
not in a white. Shirt. Because sometimes they
won't have their tie on if they're out
visiting in, like, in a really hot country
and not...
Not... Maybe maybe doing a touristy thing. Right.
And not on,
the snow the church assignment, dress pants and
a button up exactly. Yeah. Exactly. Or occasionally,
I've seeing elder Up door maybe in polo
shirt. But he still has dress pants on.
Right. Anyways, so, yeah, if I had... It
was the half the hat really threw me.
Well, it did because you didn't see that
q of hair that he has.
He looks like a different person looks like
a different person. Like, seriously, if he'd been
walking down the street, I must sure what
to recognize down know. It would have... It's
just it's freaky. I kinda wanna see all
of them in their regular clothes. We've talked
about this Well. And then it makes me
wonder. Damn Did he own those jeans in
the shirt?
Was that in his closet? Or did they
have to give it to him? So they
looked like a normal person
because they were like, dude? A soon time
for the parade. You gotta really like a
normal. It's really not gonna work.
I don't know. What's fascinating. The less. So
Apparently, there were 40 floats in the parade
and 20 of them were designed and built
by awards and stakes. I thought that was
interesting. Yeah.
I mean, I'm sure this is a tradition
exactly and they're used to it app because
I had seen the floats on display. I'm
sure they're used to it. And it's a
tradition, but really, if you were like... Okay.
Your next assignment is to build a flow.
I'd be like, what? Yeah.
So exactly.
These are, like, these are, like, when I've
seen the flow today and legit, like, they
know what they're doing globe building sort of
a make sure they are not
just somebody grab a flatbed trailer will throw
some deals like hey and call it. Float.
I'm sure they are. We're nothing if not
over cheap especially out here in the Western
new United.
Exactly.
Float Anyway, so that was a fun little
article on how they celebrate in Utah. Yes.
And speaking of the 20 fourth of July.
I don't think it was lost on anybody
that this was the day that they made
the announcement that Salt Lake City has secured
the bid for the 20 34 Winter.
We are so excited about this. Okay. I
lived there with they cayman Yeah. 20 22.
I was... It was my last year of
college
or 4002.
It was my last year of college, and
I... 1 of my major regrets of my
life. That I did not volunteer because they
worry on the hunt for volunteers they were.
The by ui you gave you 2 weeks
off, and I would have done it. The
only problem was I was worse a full
time job and go into college part time
at night. So I had no... I was
like, what?
I just had no way to get out
of my full time job. Yeah. Getting I
was devastated. Oh, if I could if I
could get a do over, I would do
would you would do that, Would just quit
the job exactly.
Well, it wasn't it wasn't entirely a surprise
that you utah received the bid. They were
expected to receive the bid. So, of course,
the church had prepared a statement, which upon
Salt lake City receiving the bid. They church...
Probably hit send and sent up this statement
that says the Church of Jesus Christ of
Latter day Saints extends its heartfelt
congratulations to Salt lake City, on securing the
bid to host the 20 34 winter Olympics.
And they go on in this statement to
talk about, you know, the feelings of unity
and peace that characterize the 2002
games that they stand ready to support the
20 34 games,
with,
volunteers and visitors from around the world. It's
committed
efforts to make Salt lake City, a host
city that em infuse the values of service,
cooperation and mutual respect. And then it finishes
with as the home of the international headquarters
of the church. We will work with organizations
both local and international levels to welcome the
world as 20 34 draws near.
So
that made me think back to 20 22
or 20... I see now I'm doing. You're
doing it too. Maybe me think back to
22002.
2002.
When Salt Lake City hosted the original time
and the first time around and what role
did the church play? Well, the des was
kind enough to issue an article, the very
next day after the bid announcement,
they reminded us. To remind us because it's
probably going to be a road roadmap
for how the church approaches it. This time
around. 1 of the key things that was
really big glass time around. Is everybody kept
saying, oh, these are gonna be the mormon
in Olympics. These are gonna be the mormon
in Olympics and there was a lot of
t...
Especially from the media
is this gonna... These Olympics going to be
all about the Mormon church. Mh. And so
president, tin
because at that time, we were still the
Mormon church. Mh. We were the church at
Jesus christ of Latter day saints, but we
still called ourselves Mormons in 2002. Mh
president Hi and the church made a commitment
that during the games, the church would not
be prose.
Prose.
So there was no missionaries going out, talking
to people or anything like that. I'm sure
there were missionaries on Temple square, like, doubled
the temple square machine. Exactly. I remember that.
Exactly. But they weren't actively
prose.
They're not going to the sites.
Exactly.
Exactly. And so they kind of took a
step back approach, and there are some interesting
things that occurred from that step back approach,
first of all, I did not realize this
until I was reading the article. If you
remember the 2002
games, they had the metal ceremonies
at a
location in downtown Lane. Well, the backdrop of
that location was the church office building, which
had a huge banner I think of a
speed skater,
Yeah. The Salt lake Temple. The temple. I
remember because, when you think Salt Lake City,
the iconic thing that comes to mind the
temple Well, and it's like Paris. Paris, the
eiffel towers in almost every media shot. So
the church donated
the land
That they... The church owned the land where
they did the metals plus plaza, and the
church said, hey, we've got this land that
y'all can use from Metals Plaza
And you know what? We'll give you 5000000
dollars to build the metals plaza air. So
guess where the medals plaza went. Oh, yeah.
I'm sure there that. I mean...
There is there is a plan on there.
You cannot
buy that kind of publicity.
And the other thing too is because, again
that they weren't... Actively out prose
a lot of the media then made all
sorts of inquiries and said, well, what is
your church about? You know,
and it said that the church had literally
a 24 7 operation filled with media people,
answering,
questions, or I should say public information people
answering media questions,
and the media on its own was doing
stories about the church. So
I I thought that that was great. They
also talked about Being shut down for 2
weeks. Yeah. I had to roommates former roommates
the volunteered and, like, had a great experience.
And they talked about generally the volunteer dropout
rate for the Olympics is somewhere between 15
and 20 percent. In Salt Lake City, it
was less than 1 percent. So and all
of the languages that people spoke, the
international Olympic committee,
the president
at that time was Dutch, and he said,
everywhere I went, there was somebody greeting me
in Dutch.
And so I... I suspect that the probably
the church... Took a very careful notes about
what worked and what didn't work from 2002,
and I think in 20 34,
we will see
probably a very similar approach. Yeah. I do
not know if that lot, it's Salt lake
City is still available
to have the temple as a backdrop.
For the metals is a ceremony. No. It'll
be really fun to watch. And the temple
will be done by then. The temple definitely
as we go. Well, it's... You know, it's
slated to be done in 20 26. And
so assuming that it's done in 20 26,
The church will have a couple of years
to... Iron out Kings san Temple Square,
Because not only will they have the temple
done, they'll have the new visitor center, and
all of that done, and hopefully, they will,
the ironing out cakes. I just think it's
so smart for their Olympics to circle back
to some of these cities. Like they built
so
much great infrastructure is that like... It would
be a shame to not do it there
again. And they're used what they built. They're
using a lot of that infrastructure sure they
have previously built, which is nice that it
was a such a quality build the first
time around, and they've maintained it, that they'll...
They're able to use that again because sure
We... If if you've seen pictures of some
cities that have formerly hosted Olympics and you
look at their Olympic venues. It's like they
got abandoned after the Olympics. So... Well, and
this that's the bonus about coming back sooner
rather than later. You know, exactly wait 50
years and yeah. So... Yeah.
Well, speaking of Olympics. Okay. The Para olympics
are on.
Olympics are on. Now we had discussed. Oh,
wait. Do you wanna do the marathon story
first... Why don't you discuss well you go
over the numbers? And then I'll talk about
the 2 marathon? So we have been waiting.
We've been talking a lot about the track
and field act. Yes.
We been waiting for a comprehensive list to
come out. L mds living usually supplies, and
they finally did. They did
just this a couple days ago, they finally
put out a comprehensive list of members of
the church that are participating in the Olympics
this year. So we won't hit on the
track and filter because we probably about all
of them.
But we have a talk a soccer player
on Usa soccer team, named Taylor Booth.
We have a rug rugby player on the
man's team, make a you note yu. I
probably totally appreciate that. And a woman's rugby
player, Women's rugby player, Stephanie Ro,
a pistol shooter
named Lexi Logan. U.
We have a member of the church competing
in swimming for Australia, named Peter Bowl. So
there's about, like, in total, if you count
the Track field, which
heavily. That's where most of the members of
the church are competing. There's about a dozen.
Yes. Athletes this year that are members of
the church. So that's just kinda of fun
information. Fun to watch. Yeah. Okay. So I've
talked a lot about the S chase guys.
Kenneth Brooks and
James Cor again. Well, I want to circle
back to the marathon guys because the marathon
guys are getting a ton of press, including
national press. And so I'm gonna talk about
the story that was in the Desert News,
and I'm gonna talk about what I heard
nationally involving these marathon guys. Okay. There's 2
Marathon guys. Con And Clayton Young, and they,
were teammates at By. And so they have
known each other for a number of years.
Not only that. They were both in the
mechanical engineering program at By and they both
have mechanical engineering. Oh, Didn't know that. So
they haven't been,
teammates for years and post By. They trained
together, and they share this in coach was
just a gentleman by the name of Ed
Is stone, and he also... Coaches the S
Chase, and so we've talked a lot about
at is.
So this article in the Des News talks
about, how do you prepare for a marathon
in Paris?
Because the marathon courts in Paris is going
to... It's obviously 26 miles,
it's going to wind its way through all
sorts of historic sites. In Paris. Mh. But
it's not a flat course. There are areas
of the course that are are very up
and down to In fact, there's 1 grade.
So it's very hill. There are hills at
the 15 k marker and the last 5
k.
Then there's a downhill at 28 k, and
there's a hill with a 13.5
percent grade.
And so Connor Mats in this article is
saying, you know, this 13.5
percent grade scares me. He found a hill
in Utah to train on. That's close to
a 10 percent, but it's it's just it's
going to be a super challenging course.
And so the articles talks about how they're
training that they do the short intervals... Prints,
and then they do these longer runs, and
it's both Connor and Clayton doing these runs
together.
And they're hoping that training in the high
alta tube will help them as well. Make
up for some of that. Make up for
some of that because they will have better
oxygen recovery once they get down near Sea
level,
And so it's just super fascinating
to learn about how you train for a
marathon.
Well, the other story that I heard that
involved. Connor and Clayton
is,
well, before I get there, I just wanna...
I just wanna hit a couple highlights from
this story,
Ice stone is talking about... And iso stone
is talking about man's and just that he's
an aggressive intense runner, and he's really had
to preach a lot of patience and restrained
connor.
Because he wants to, you know, when the
bell goes off, he wants to get out
there and get in front, which
sometimes can or cannot be depending on the
race course a good strategy
And so he's kind of working on teaching
him some patience.
And
he says,
Connor says, you know, the best chat... Chance
for sick... Success is knowing what you're capable
of doing based on training.
And so it's really interesting how they... They'll
have, like, these really hard days of training
and then these really light days of training.
So that's about their training. Mh. Well, I
was driving around last week, and I was
listening to Npr. K. And I kid you
not. Npr had an interview that they did
with Connor and Clayton.
And
so I was like, okay. Not only are
they getting local press in the desi news
they're getting national press. And so I listen
to the interview, and it was a really
well done interview, but here's the really cool
thing.
The very last question that the interview asked
ask. And this is on Npr people. I
was telling my husband if he didn't believe
me.
They at the interviewer asked, Connor and Clayton,
what role does your faith play In your
training.
Testing for the Olympics.
And both of them went on to express
their testimony of the gospel,
their belief in the atonement
and how they have this greater perspective,
that the world isn't just about running. Running
is something they do, but it's not the
be all to end all. They have both
of them are married. 1 of them has
kids,
that they have kind of this bigger perspective,
and they have that as a result of
their faith and the gospel.
And
every
interview that I have read with either Connor
or Clayton, they have brought in their faith.
And they have just been such incredible
ambassadors with the church in willingly and openly
sharing
how their faith impacts them as an Olympic
athlete. Wow. And so... Well, and that's amazing
that they ask that question. That's. It's not
a question They ask all athletes. Like, I
mean, clearly, they knew their background. Yes. The
interviewer. Yes. I wanna listen to that which
imp? Was it? It was national Npr. Just
on their podcast. It was it was
well, you know how they do news stories.
Right. It was it was in the afternoon
snap. Or Some news now. Yeah. Was in
the afternoon. In fact, you can Google
Npr, Clayton Neon Connor
interview, and it will pop up, and you
can listen to it. It's real short. It's
like... It's about 10 minutes. But it was
just... I thought it was a really nice
piece. I thought it was really well done,
and I think it will be interesting,
I am guessing that as it gets closer
to the Marathon because they are the the
2 athletes from America, and they have trained
together and given their background history.
I'm am guessing that Nbc probably will have
a profile on them as well. Yeah. So
I believe the marathon is August... Tenth if
I recall correctly. Okay. It's 1 of the
last events in the Olympics is the marathon.
And so
I'm gonna be following that because I've really
just enjoyed these stories on Connor Mountain Saint
Clayton. Yeah. They're gonna be fun to watch,
especially because it's a package deal, just exactly,
Even more fun. So...
Okay. Next, story. This is a fun 1.
The missionaries of the Colorado Denver North mission
were invited to sing the national Anthem at
a Colorado Ross his baseball game.
The 80 of, a hundred and 80 of
them on July 20 fourth. Again, we had
a lot going on this last week on
July 24. We really part. We really party
this 3.
So
the mission president, his name is Charles Claws,
with excited for the opportunity. All it says
is a representative of the Rockies contacted him
and asked them if they're interesting. Interested. So
I don't know how this happened. I'm guessing
maybe there's some L I Yeah. Somewhere there,
and they knew that they could contact them.
So, of course, he said yes, and they
gave him some dates to pick from, and
1 of them was July 20 fourth and
he said that's the winner. He's like, police.
So then it was kinda fun.
He quickly realized like, oh,
I need someone to direct to these missionaries.
And, they were at some steak meeting, and
there was a musical number, and then they
went out for ice cream afterwards and the
woman who was
involved in the musical number. Her name is
Annie Piper,
happened to be at the ice cream shop
and he... All of a sudden have the
thought there she is... There's the person I
need. So he asked her if she would
conduct this choir
of missionaries in seeing the National Anthem, which
of course, she said yes.
Anyway, he said it was just a great
experience for the missionaries and a great way
to expose people to the missionaries. So they're
like, oh, hey. We know them. We're familiar.
Like, they're not scary. That kind of thing
Exactly. But he said he was hoping the
missionaries would,
also,
have just a meaningful memorable. Memorable experience out
of this,
which would help them, you know, fill up
for their country and for the freedom and
and for the gospel and so kind of
a cool experience. I thought it was such
a fun story, fun way to do something
on your mission. And then they all got
to stay watch the game. Oh, okay. They
were playing the Red socks. I saw some
pictures in the article of the missionaries in
the stands watching the game afterwards. That is
so awesome.
Again, you get to create this really good
memory on your mission. And and probably, again,
the value of that in terms of of
of prose
is there is no value on it. You
know. People will remember that, and and maybe
the, you know, Maybe they will be kind
to the missionaries. Maybe they will stop and
listen and ponder and go, oh, I remember
seeing you. Yeah. So, yeah. I mean, I
think the value is,
think of the exposure you're exposed to thousands
versus. Exact 1 at a time. You don't
have to be prose
to exactly. You know,
there's lots of creative ways. I love it
to share the gospel. So I think it's
cool.
Alright. Why,
Oh, the Ys
con friends. Okay, Utah, gearing up for another
big Ys conference.
They did this last summer
they're starting to do these across the country.
We did win here boise. This year, friends
this year, at the Ys conference, they are
hoping to break 2 Guinness world records.
You already read this. Otherwise, I would say
would you like to guess. A hundred percent
when I read the title of the article,
which is they aim to bring. U. Break
2 records,
right away. I was, like, speed dating.
I didn't even read the article. Sure enough.
1 of guys 1 of them. They are
trying to date is the largest
trying to break is the largest speed dating
event.
And then the second record they are trying
to break is the most
contributions to a greeting card.
So for the greeting card,
and this is kinda fun. You don't have
to be a y person to sign the
greeting cards. They
they are collecting them from all over
I guess that still counts. I don't know.
Get... Guinness is, it's still counts. They say
still submitted it electronically
between July 20 ninth. Or 8AM, Mountain Time
on July 20 ninth to 8PM Mountain Time
on August.
You can go online and send it your
egg greeting. And the greeting is for
president Nelson's 1 hundredth birthday. Yeah. So they
are hoping to collect over 100000
birthday messages for present Nelson for his 1
hundredth birthday.
That is kind of a really
I love that idea. Collect the contributions can
be made in person that the covers for,
like you said, virtually. So
anyways, so talk about the speed
speed dating will
consist of. 23 minute rounds with 30 seconds
to rotate between each round. Yes.
So that when you do have to be
in person. Yes. You do have virtual option
for speed data. Yes. That will happen on
Saturday, August third, and they're gonna split them
into age groups,
18 to 28 on Wednesday, 25. 35 on
the other side, You know. So if you
fall into that between 25 and 28, you
can decide you wanna go in the younger
section or the older stuff want to younger
or older. So anyways,
fun fun times, and then they're also doing
a lot of the other events. Like, they
did last year, they're doing A5K
temple trips, service project concerts,
those types of things. Say.
Alright. Well, as was covered in the podcast
last week, there was an age adjustment to
Ys. It previously was 18 to 30. Mh.
It has now been extended to 35.
And so
international edition talked about that last week. And
then this week, there was an article that
came out a whip out the re reaction
from young single day. I'm curious how do
they feel about this.
They're actually quite pleased with it. I bet
they are. I bet when you're because... I
mean, single adults are... They're getting older. Like,
people are getting married older. I'm sure as
you rep approach that, like, 30 year old
age. Exactly. You probably start to panic. This
is probably a bit of a leaf. And
in some areas where there's a lot of
professionals like Washington, Dc and New York City,
they've kind of been doing this on a
test run for a while.
And what they're finding is with some of
these older single adults, they're now being able
to put them in bishop bricks, high counsel,
state... Relief society presidents. Mh.
Because they have a little bit more maturity
and age to be able to handle
that type of calling. And the article also
talks about that many singles
when they... When they were effectively quote unquote
kicked out.
Kind of felt really lost. They do wanna
go to a family ward. They were kind
of inactive. They also talked in this article
that there were a lot of awards that
just kind of turned a blind eye.
To when you turned 31 and let you
stay under the guise of we would much
rather have them
than not. Yeah. So
T did receive an email from a listener
on this subject. And I thought
the email from the listener was so and
insightful that I want to read the email
from phyllis. Haven't Haven't seen this yet. I
wanna. So this is from Corey Ward, and
he sent it in to, as you... As
we always tell. Contact at this week in
mormon dot com.
And he said, a year ago, the W
stake that covers the area around the University
of Utah started a trial period
of splitting up designating awards 18 to 25
and 26 to 35.
They didn't make any boundary changes rather they
invited members to move their records into the
ward both convenient for them to attend. A
friend of mine informs me that he's had
a positive experience in an upper Ys award.
Young adults attending University and young adults who
are working for professionals tend to have more
in common and find it easier to make
friends. The University of Utah Institute classes have
already started splitting up into these age group
and they seem to be well attended. From
my observation from attending a Ys award in
the Salt Lake City, several of the components
of this recent announcement have already been in
effect D facto.
A good portion of the active members in
the ward have already passed the age of
31 and continue to attend the award with
the blessing of the Bishop Brick. Several active
members also live outside the word boundaries, but
also continue to be part of the ward
with the blessing of the bishop. They are
simply grateful these members continue to come to
church. And don't see the need to push
them to a attend in the area or
age group they are assigned to a attend.
The relaxed approach has tactile allowed many individuals
to ward or have 2 or 3 words
that they regularly attend beating and activities.
This allows them to take part in activities
that interest them, find more friends or dating
partners
at script pass getting... And script pass colleagues,
which is very true. Mh. It is also
a bit of a taboo to date, someone
within your own ward. If a relationship doesn't
work out, it's easy to switch war. Some
of the words in my stake are very
well attended and have many visitors each week,
other words have been struggling to and several
of the active members have started to attend
elsewhere, even though they maintain their membership records
in the war
in their war of residence.
The recent announcement from the first presidency signals
that a large reward
reorganization will be happening at a large scale
in the mormon quarter.
It will likely involve changing boundaries for hundreds
of congregations. The word I attend should be
affected. Attendance in this word has dropped a
lot over the past several months. State leaders
likely try to balance out the active membership
amongst the awards. In the long run, I
don't think it will be... It... I don't
think it will be successful as individual young
adults will choose where they want to attend
based off their spiritual and social preferences.
Interesting. Probably right about that. Mh. So
anyway, but mister Ward, Brother Ward thank you
for sending your comment. I liked it. It
was well thought out. Yeah It's interesting to
hear from someone who lives where there's so
many Yes. Because, like here, there's not a
lot of options. There's only 2 or 3
options. Yeah. So it's not like you can
just ward easily like that. But I'm sure
that's always an issue exactly.
But, I mean, what are you gonna do?
I mean, this is kind of how I
feel about my teenager in Sunday school. She's
always trying to hop into a different Sunday
school class.
And I don't really care anymore as long
as she's present. Exactly. I I know the
Sunday school present probably feels differently in the
teachers, but I'm like, hey, She is there,
let's count to win.
Precisely. So I I get the conundrum, but
again, if they're there, let's count to win.
Exactly Exactly I completely agree with you.
Okay. So our next story.
Here is the art... The headline of the
story. Which ward is the church's
church's longest continually running board.
So I saw that headline this week and
of course, with it being the 20 fourth
of July I was like, oh, it's gotta
be some down. To down salt Lake Ward.
Mh. You would to... You would be incorrect
if you thought that really?
Exactly. And I didn't read this 1. So
where is it? Okay. And if you thought,
oh, maybe somewhere in New York or Na
or Kurt where the church was originally, you
know, founded,
You would be wrong about that too. Okay?
So the longest continually running ward of the
Church of Jesus Christ of Latter saints is
the preston ward in Preston England. Really? It
has been active since being organized as the
Preston branch on 08/06/1837.
Okay.
And so this is probably because there's not
as many members there, so they're not constantly
splitting and breaking apart words. Right? Well, yep.
But even if they were constantly splitting and
breaking apart words, you'd you would... Unless you
dissolve the word, you'd still always have the
preston war. Right. So this word got established
when there were a bunch of L mds
missionaries that went over there and started
converting people, a number of those states obviously
immigrated over and crossed the planes as we
earlier talked about.
But that ward has been has been active,
And that word has... It's interesting in reading
the article. It has ebb and flowed in
terms of people in and out, it's also
a very internationally
diverse ward,
which I thought was was was very fascinating.
They have their,
their bishop,
their bishop, Let's see if I can find
his name here.
Anyway, but before I get to the bishop,
the preston ward super seeds by 12 years,
any congregation in Utah or Salt Lake or
any other place Interesting. So it's not even
it's not even a horse race. Wow. Yeah.
They got a
big head start exactly. So,
their bishop. His name is Bishop
rant shops. Mh. And how, where was he
from? I'm trying to remember where he was
from? I didn't I did not highlight this
here.
Oh,
I hate it when I don't do that.
Anyway, he wasn't from England. He was not
from England. So he clicked off the national
of people in the ward. He's got people
from Hungary, Romania, Chile, England, Denmark,
Republic of Israel, Northern Ireland, Zimbabwe, Scotland, Nigeria
and Angola, Brazil, Fiji,
United States, Cuba, Sri lanka, Botswana, Canary Islands,
Italy, Chile, El Salvador, Honduras,
Spain, Bolivia Peru, Ecuador and Colombia. Okay. That's
really cool. It is really cool. It sounds
like a really nice word. It is a
really lame cool. A cool word to be
Yes.
Yes. So when he was asked, how we
would describe the ward. He said the preston
ward is home to a faithful con
congregation. Who embrace each other's differences and come
together in their shared faith of Jesus Christ.
We are a diverse ward helping individuals and
families feel up belonging,
Through our various backgrounds, cultures, knowledge of the
gospel, we are able to strengthen testimonies, grow
in faith and gospel knowledge.
And he talks about how the diversity strengthens
testimony and strengthens unity in in their ward.
He also says it's also a super transient
ward
he's only been in the ward 4 and
a half years.
Let's see. Oh, that is the the stake
president had only been in the ward 4
and a half years. The state president is
a member of this award, and the bishop,
bishop,
rant top ramp
even less because but
they say the word is rich with history
and super multi multicultural. So I thought that
article is fascinating. I loved it. Okay. Very
cool.
Very cool. Okay. 1 of our last articles,
this is to be where your story. The
creamer on ninth is moving.
Yes. If you know anything about me where
you, you know as famous for creamer,
delicious ice cream, and chocolate milk. Well, on
that creamer are used? To be the grocery
store. It did. It's talking about how it's
a 75 year old campus landmark, but it
was a grocery store to while I was
there. It was early 2 that I was
there. There was no creamer there. That Kramer
moved in
shortly after I left. Yeah. The cream maria
originally thousand 2. Kind of behind. And they
still have towers. They still have that old
creamer by desert towers, I think, and then
they also have the creamer on night. But
the creamer marie on ninth has outgrown itself.
It is a creamer, but they also still
have a tiny grocery store inside.
It says what. They still had a little
bit of groceries reasons. They do have a
little bit of grocery inside. That's... I remember
when they bought that building because it used
to be kent groceries.
The shoes were
upset because that's where they got their groceries.
Exactly
especially inherited. I believe the compromise was we'll
leave the groceries will just make part of
it into a. Okay.
So it is a tiny grocery store, but
it is
is outgrown the demand. So they are gonna
build a new 1. It says that every
year,
they have 1300000.0
customers that visit the Creamer actually. Fine. I
don't know if that's... Both locations or just
that 1, but that's a lot of people.
Well, the other thing too is the new
location is gonna be behind that location,
between that location and where the the common
building is for heritage halls. I I... There's
not a lot of room. There's not a
lot of room back there and they're get
they're doubling their space? And so
it leaves me scratching my head. Are they
gonna build up? Or is the creamer going
to be multi level? I don't know. I'm
nurse sure how they're gonna do this, but
they're not moving far. They're just
a few feet over, in a larger space.
But it says it will have a 70
percent increase. Retail space.
So there you go. Well, the other thing
I liked about the article is, you have
to talk about the flavors.
I had not heard of this.
They have cream plate. A new presidential collection.
Flavors. As in By president. Yeah Usa president.
Yes. So they have 1 called Wu ce
sole. Apparently named for the current present, Cecil
still Samuel. They have a Worth Pb and
C, which is like, a peanut butter con,
named for Kevin Worth,
and they have a shame chocolate. It's in
S.
In insanely
Insanely, only it's in insanely
chocolate. Yes.
Which debuted in 20 23.
Anyway, it dutch chocolate ice cream with Mar
marshmallows
I've brought piece. Apparently that's the favorite. It
was voted number 1. But Thought that woo
ce looked good too. It's chocolate ice cream
with salted caramel and cashews. I've I know.
These all look good. I would like to
try the presidential collection. I don't know when
I will be in Utah again, but
we'll look delicious.
The other 1 that they talked about that
I really liked is they had 1 for
ernest Wilkinson said. Oh, they do. I wanna
That 1 is color
chocolate. And it's chocolate ice cream, caramel swirl
marshmallow swirl and chocolate covered caramel cups. Oh
well that sounds good too? And that was
created in 19 99 to celebrate the red
redistribution of the look is in. Oh, man.
I know. I was reading this article and
I was craving every
single ice cream. I really do love the
Ice cream. It's and their chocolate melts.
It's the best. What can I say? Why
can't we get some of that here at
Idaho hope? I know.
Alright. Well, believe it or not, that wraps
it up. For us for news stories.
Now, normally, at this point in time, I
would move on to Morgan's behaving badly,
but I really...
I I have a story, and maybe I'll
just kinda hit the highlights of it because
I didn't even throw a link into it
because it was just...
It was really bad. It was it was
just kind of... It was it was 2
friends that were both... They grouped together as
members and 1 ended up killing the other,
and there were... Some mental health issues involved
and there was sentencing
this last week, and it was just... It
was a super super sad story. So I
didn't really wanna dwell on that, but but
other than that, the mormons seem to pretty
much be behaving themselves. Everyone's been good this
week. Everyone we appreciate. That. We have not
had a lot of mormons behaving badly this
summer. I know. Other than just, like, updates
here and there. Is unusual because sometimes summer
drives people... Oh my gosh.
Sometimes people do weird things.
So I guess that will move us on
to our favorite
favorite things. Sometimes okay. Do you want to
go first? Or do you want me to
go go first? I'm very excited to share
my favorite thing this month? I almost shared
it last month, but I had not... Tested
it yet. Oh, I thought I cannot share
this until I test it. Okay. Seems very
clear. So I saw this thing online. I
ordered it on Amazon. It is about the
size of my palm. Okay palm, it is
a battery
rechargeable
operated pump to blow up your
swim float and 2.
It's
amazing. How does something that small blow? It
is that small. It has 2 different tips.
You can attached to it, you push a
button, and it blows up, like your pure
floats.
So I've used it several times now, and
it has not run out a battery yet,
and I've blown up, like, 3 or 3
to 4 pretty big pool floats.
So a women prep. It's a good thing.
Okay. I will will put it on the
instagram the link, and I will get it
on the Instagram. It's my favorite thing I've
bought this summer because there's nothing worse. Them
blowing up pool toys. Oh. In, like, 90
degree weather. When the kids with small children
buying going
so exactly. It's amazing. Worth every penny. So
I just keep it in my swim bag.
And then when we get home I charge
it, and I put it right back in
the swim bag, so it's ready to go
every time we go.
Perfect.
Alright. Well, my favorite thing. Before I went
backpack packing, I hit the dollar store. And
I wanted to get just some snacks that
I could keep in my backpack
in case I needed energy or whatnot when
I was backpack.
So,
there wasn't... I mean, we were hardcore like,
marching up the hill. We only stopped a
few times. There was never really an opportunity
to open the backpack and grab a stack.
So when I got to the top of
this hill that we marched up or was
probably more of a mountain.
I was... Very hungry. Mh. And so I
pulled out 1 of the things that I
had purchased at the dollar store. And 1
of the things I had purchased at the
dollar store,
were
these things right here. They are nerd gummy
clusters.
And I had never had these nerd gun
clusters before. I cannot believe we haven't talked
about this. I cannot believe agree I love
the nerd got me clusters, and I took
some to camp you. I also did not
eat them because I didn't have a chance.
I was too busy chasing my.
It's So I get to the top of
the mouth and then I open up the
nerd gummy clusters never having had them before,
Put them in my mouth and I'm, like,
holy crap. Where have these been all my
life? These are dee
delicious they're fun. So that is what I
have tonight? I brought... A bag, I will
even share 1 with you a Google you
have describe them to our viewers if you
haven't had them. So it is a gummy,
and the gummy is surrounded.
By little nerds. It's like the only way
to eat nerds. This really... I love nerds.
Yeah. They're too messy to eat. Exactly. They
end up everywhere. And just so you know,
last night,
Darren and I were at Win, grocery shopping,
and he wanted to get some jelly bell
because it'd been years since he eat jelly
bell. And he turned around right after camp
and went on high adventure. Mh. And 1
of the priests on high adventure had jelly
bell and was, like, when Darren needed an
energy boost thrown in a Jelly belly.
In the bulk section now at Win code,
they carry the gummy clusters. So you can
buy them in bulk. You can buy them
in bulk. I am verify. Was if you
happen to live in the inter Mountain West
and have a wing code near you. If
you don't petition Wing cove to build a
grocery store in your area because you really
want a win call. They're like the best
grocery store at our, Wink coast is great.
K. Okay. Alright. Well are delicious. They really
are. So now that I have my mouth,
and I'm gonna try and wrap up the
show.
You gonna stick around for patreon. Yes. We
are gonna talk in Patreon. Whatever are... I
even remember what we're talking about. We are
talking about that's right. Tell what we're talking.
Are talking about new documentary,
that is taking over the Internet, I've... Everybody
I know has been watching this, it is,
the Dallas Cowboys cheerleader,
documentary. What's it called? It is called America's
Sweetheart... America's Sweetheart. The that's America's Sweetheart Dallas.
That's what it's called. We will discuss because
