Brad, the day was last week. Okay. And it was actually right after we recorded the podcast last week. I went to Chicken Filet and I'm in line and one of my worst nightmares comes true. That's a little extreme. Just a slight bummer comes true. A police officer comes right behind me. My license plates are still a temporary tag that expired in August.

So yeah, I could avoid that every time I see your car. I think about what I'm going to say when I do get pulled over. And who knows? It's COVID. COVID's always the excuse. Seriously. It's like we're in the middle of a pandemic.

I'm not comfortable going to the DMV right now. I like not even saying a full sentence, just saying COVID. Hey, COVID, COVID, COVID, COVID, COVID, COVID. Put your hands up. Hey, COVID, COVID, COVID, COVID, COVID, COVID. COVID, COVID. Everybody, COVID. put your hands up hey everybody COVID I'm COVID right now huh

So, yeah. But also it was more of like a live stream for you. Cause you got to listen to this episode. I mean, hours after we recorded it, just a delayed live stream is what we call that. However long it takes for me to send it to Justin and him to send it to youtube.com. And then that's, that's how quickly you got it but um let's make this really hard on justin like let's do a lot of edits let's like hey justin add that add that clip in here justin during the covet part at the beginning can you

like animate it like a cartoonize it yeah just like pixelate it all like that would be fun that'd be cool no please don't please please don't um anyway so a police officer is behind me i'm texting rachel like hey what do you want from chick-fil-a also also krupke's behind me yeah also i'm yelling out kova do you think that's cool should i do more or less brad told me and she was like i was like what do i do and she's like you should pay for their food i was like okay that's good that's called bribing the cops that is called a nice gesture and we'll see it's in their hands now well no i was just paying for his food but go ahead go ahead yeah yeah yeah okay so i'm like oh good idea i was like but i'm almost positive cops eat free at chick-fil-a 100 they do

and she was like try it anyway i was like that is kind of fun you're fun today okay so i get up there i don't have as much money you know because i'm dating you pay for that person pay for that person like this is so fun. Give them your flowers. It's fine. The tulips. They'll love the tulips. Yeah.

You got to. Oh, wait, that did happen. I took Rachel on a Japan themed date the other night. And the second we got out of the car, I mean, just instantly accosted. Excuse me. Excuse me. And I guess just in my old age, I've been hardened to the excuse me. I keep walking.

Oh, but then the person goes, ma'am. And like, ah, now we got to turn around. So she gets Rachel's attention. I turn around with her. And the first sentence out of this woman's mouth is I don't do drugs. Well, the people who aren't doing drugs don't start their sentences that way. So I don't know. And poor Rachel. Well, basically, i'm saying is rachel had to

give her money up because this woman only needed three dollars okay which is not much to to need that bad it's like i only need three dollars and you really need three dollars and i was like i legitimately don't have cash and rachel's like i have some and she's like thank you guys so much i was just i really wanted to find someone who spoke english oh yeah in overland park yeah yeah well it's a huge it's a it's a huge international area we were outside of a japanese steakhouse so i think she was like i mean i can't pronounce that yeah i mean i mean ma ma he may he may he i don't know ah gosh i hope somebody knows what they're talking about here say clown longe well the crazy thing is that like if you go to a Japanese steakhouse,

everyone that goes there is Japanese, except for you. It's exclusively Japanese. They don't even give you forks if you ask for them. No. No. And it's chopsticks only. And like, honestly, most of the workers that are Mexican are actually Japanese. Like it's like, you know, it's like half the people

that are like the Japanese people that like cut, like the chefs, they're not, they're Mexican. Their names are juan like this is so funny literally a few hours ago i was home with my dad and he was telling me a story he's got a new customer who is like a hibachi chef or whatever yeah my dad was trying to get to know him and he's talking on the phone and he can't understand him anyway my dad can't hear hear me talk over the phone right and so he's like what's your name and the guy tells him a couple times and he's like now how do you spell that? My dad has no clue. And then eventually the guy just goes,

uh, why don't we go with Jose? Like those Mexican guys. And my dad's like, all right, we can go with Jose. And so it's been like six months. My dad still calls him Jose.

And you know, this guy's straight from Korea. His name is definitely not Jose. So you're right. There was a blend. It's not like a Japanese steakhouse. It's only Japanese people. And then Jake and Rachel trying to like culture themselves. It's not like a true steakhouse. It's only Japanese people. And then Jake and Rachel trying to like culture themselves.

It's not like a true Japanese experience, you know? Yeah, it was quite the, just like, I'm so glad I've got someone who spoke English. And then she's like, you know what? Rachel gets her bill full or like a wallet. I priced $13. It was like, oh, the price went up pretty quick. Jeez. So Rachel had to give money away. I'm never going to get through this Chick-fil-A story.

I'm never, ever going to get done with it. Rachel's just sweet. She's nice. It's fun. She's like, you should pay for them. So I'm like, cops eat free. She's like, you do it anyway. So I go up to the window and there's probably a 17 year old kid.

Take it. I mean, there's, I mean, this kid's's probably I don't know 16 Because I've been hanging out my grandparents Now was it he was He was six four six three and a half maybe He's a tall guy all right 17 year old chick-fil-a worker why did i do that why did i blow air i don't know i think i've been doing that to rachel to try to be funny when i'm just like being goofy or whatever i think it's a great delivery

we could go to you know whatever anyway okay so uh 17 year old kid he's like um you know that'll be 984 i'm like thank you i'd actually like to pay for the car behind me and i could tell he looks at the car he like identifies it that it's police and i could tell the inner like he didn't know what to do yeah because then he hits me with the probably a little bit he like looks at the car looks back at me he's just not seeing anything for a while he's like oh okay okay cool okay awesome thanks and so i'm like i don't know what he's gonna do i put him in a situation i think where he doesn't know what to do and uh comes back out and he says thank you here's your food and uh here's your receipts two receipts i had to freaking pay for both of them

so instead of the cop eating for free on Chick-fil-A's time, I had to pay for the police officer. The kid just charged me full price for the police. Was this Drew's Chick-fil-A or which? No, this was the new one, 95th Metcalf. Oh, okay. Oh, so we know the owner there too though. We'll talk to him.

Is that Derek? Yeah. Cool. Wait, cool. Someone said hi to me inside of there. I don't know who they were. It wasn't Derek. I mean, I know who Derek is.

It was Derek. I don't know. We're not that close of friends. I don't know. He's probably 33. Looked like he worked at K-West 10 years there. I don't know who they were. It wasn't Derek. I mean, I know who Derek is. It was Derek. I don't know. We're not that close of friends. I don't know. He's probably 33. Looked like he worked at K-West 10 years ago. I don't know.

Yeah, we were good friends at one point. That's funny. Dude, someone yesterday at Hawaiian Bros came right up to me, and I did recognize her, and she was like, Jake, oh my gosh. And I was like, you worked at K-West? She's like, yes. And I was like, and you went to KU? She goes, no.

Oh. Thank you. Why did I do that? Just stop at the K-West. No, I like it. I like it. Because I was like, every time you get one right, you have to ku she goes no oh thank you why did i do that just stop at the king no i like it i like it because i was like every time you get one right you have to go one more like until you get something and yeah and well what i did is i just kept getting them wrong and i go oh oh no pitt state she's like no you doubled down yeah you're like no sorry different different school in kansas well that's the thing i i had that right. I knew she was from Kansas. Okay, let me try to guess it then.

Did you figure it out? I will give you nine guesses. Really? Nine guesses for schools in Kansas. Really? Yeah. Tabor. Oh!

I knew it! The loser! Ha ha! Yeah! How did that happen? Did Kendra text you? Put it on there, Justin! Put like some big crazy things in it.

How did, did you have Cape Country people from Tabor? Yeah. Oh, I thought, I thought we were the only people exporting. It's like a Christian school. But still, I just, I never heard of it since then. I never, I thought there were no other like Tabor people. I thought we had like a pipeline straight from us, from Cape West to Tabor. Good job. I mean, nine schools.

There's not that many schools in Kansas anyway. I could have figured it out in nine. I thought maybe you'd go community college or something. Oh, no. Tabor. Yeah. So I go Pitt State. She's like, no.

Wait, my dude said nine schools and daddy guessed it in one. All right. Let that be known. This guy didn't have any confidence in me. Jeez. I forgot who your dad was. Yeah, it is. Oh, dude. We guy didn't have any confidence in me. Jeez. I forgot who your dad was. Yeah, exactly. That's what it is.

Oh, dude. We're going all over the place right now. That reminds me. The bracket just came out. And I know it's a little bit late. Oh, I forgot about that. It's probably too late. But I think it'll be really fun.

Maybe we'll do it next week. He'll have a little more time to prepare. But I bet we could call him and be like, dad, where's Bryant State? And he'd be like, oh, Bryant State. That's in so-and-so Pennsylvania. It's amazing uh it would have been a fun thing so next year or next week tomorrow or tomorrow we might be rewriting a little bit of a pickle recording right now at 10 50 p.m and uh right now we don't know

how we're gonna get the next episode out we'll figure it out but we're both Monday it has to be Monday night probably I think so okay Tuesday really early probably 24 hours from now we'll make it happen but we'll be fresh off the basketball game yeah uh what are we talking about i don't know uh the uh wine bros it doesn't matter that came from another story basically she just saw me and i i was so confident and she's like Tabor. I was like, ah, Peckham Jays. I don't know. The people at K-West did. I bombed a few times in public this week, actually. Not just at Hawaiian Rose yesterday, but on the golf course. Rachel's bathroom.

Yeah, that was on Patreon. That was a good one. Yeah, yeah. It made a breakthrough. I titled the Patreon post Breaking News. I didn't really mean to clickbait people. just i thought i considered it breaking news yeah we made a we made a big move um i made a couple moves i i do have questions about that but do you do you would you rather not go too specifically no we can talk um okay your bowel movements from what i've heard

normally take a while dude i've I've been eating fruit. Yeah. We're so, we're so steady. Fruit gotcha. Fruit, fruit, fruit, fruit's ripening me up. Yeah. Yeah. Okay. Been eating a lot of acai bowls. Sure. Um, getting some fiber. Yeah. You ever heard of grapefruit? It's confusing because fruits in the name. Yeah. Turns out it's not just a grape. I thought people were just saying, Hey, do you want this grape? Yeah. Which is a fruit. I'm like, I know it's a fruit. And you taste it and you're like, this is different. I've had grapes. I've had fruit. I think we've talked about this one time on the podcast, but just look up sometime Aziz Ansari grapefruit. Oh, dang it. They have a great like a standup bit where I think it's 50 cent or something that like, I don't know. I don't remember

exactly what it was, but 50 cents was somehow very confused the first time he had grapefruit. Dang it. I thought it was coming up it was, but 50 Cent was somehow very confused the first time he had grapefruit. Dang it. I thought it was coming up with something original on the fly right there. He's like, what's up with all these oranges? Oh. Yeah. The way is he's,

I remember his delivery was just so funny. So anyway, yeah. Grapefruit getting you. You liking that? Had it in Phoenix once. Okay. We have grapefruit spoons at our house. Wider, deeper.

They're serrated on the edges. And so you because because when you eat a grapefruit do you like cut around the edge first uh i think i cut it in half and then scoop out yes so you cut in half and then you you cut around the oh i see what you're saying yeah so you cut around with the edge with your spoon yeah yeah yeah it's nice serrated yeah we we don't use them very often so if you'd like one sometime if you're getting into the grapefruit habit i'll talk to rachel everything fruit related kind of comes through her first yeah so i'll run it by her okay but maybe yeah she's your fruit girl gotta have one yeah anyway um where are we here what are we uh oh i bombed in public okay Okay, so this is Phoenix Golf Course.

Yes. Cart girl. Tell us about Phoenix. I don't think we talked about you going to Phoenix last week, did we? I don't think we all. I think we also kind of dropped a bomb on everyone about the girls channel. What is this? It's so hard to know who I've told what to.

That's fair. We'll get to it. I wrote down in my notes for this week, girls channel. But you went to Phoenix with our friends. Yes, this time. We didn't kind of allude to it last week. Did we? Okay, I don't know. Because I said like no one's going to be at the basketball game because you guys are all there. That's right. but you went to phoenix with our friends yes this time kind of allude to it last week did we okay i

don't know because i said like no one's going to be at the basketball game because you guys are all that's right but a year ago me scott sell isaac mcdonald and luke hogan.com all played in the pickleball tournament in phoenix luke's parents have a place down there we're gonna stay for free phoenix arizona you sounded like forrest gump green bow Bow, Alabama. Hey, put that clip in, Justin. Hey, put that movie in, Justin. Put the whole thing in. Just a two-hour movie in the middle. You have to scrub through that, and then it's the rest of the podcast.

But, oh, so we were like, let's do that again. But now we're into golf. Like, it's funny. Like, Luke's parents live on a golf course, and I didn't golf once last year. I had no interest. Like, I think they went golfing, and I took a nap. I'm like, why in the world would I do that again. But now we're into golf. Like, it's funny. Like Luke's parents live on a golf course. I didn't golf once last year. I had no interest. Like they, I think they went golfing and I took a nap. I'm like, why in the world would I do that? Yeah.

And now I'm so obsessed and love it so much. But, uh, so we went this year is kind of a half pickable half golf trip is very fun. And, uh, I've talked about it before when Isaac goes on trips, he's an even more fun version of himself. I'm sure maybe you got to see it. Trinidad. He was also pretty young at the time. So I don know but oh he's so fun i mean he's just a fun he embraces the moment right he does he's great with strangers yes and uh it's very fun

and i talked about that in our hawaii trip like he would he loved because he knew it tickled me so much saying the most basic things possible while you're hiking like we'd be on our way back down from the hike we've already done he's like you guys it's so worth it you guys it's so worth it you're just so annoying just like stop dude so what did he do uh and so he was just doing all sorts of stuff to like you know old white guys on the golf course like hitting them straight i'm like dude why are you even doing this stop engaging in this annoying small talk you know like better than working huh guys the funny thing is that isaac is like probably 40 genuine there's a little bit of it like he just wants to talk he really likes people like i think like he's he's always had like random like old like like his neighbor his next door

neighbor is this old woman old single woman and like every year he would like help her out with her christmas decorations it's like really genuinely loved it like so i think he like i bet he likes the entertainment value for you but i think on the other side It's like really genuinely loved it. Like, so I think he like, I bet he likes the entertainment value for you, but I think on the other side, he's like, I love talking to not interact with them. I mean, our old house neighbor, Judy Isaac was definitely her favorite. Exactly. Only one that she had is, uh, the phone number of, so that's also maybe why like my aunt, Cindy lives two streets down from you. And like, she'll text me and be like, can you do this for me? And I'm like, I can, but I don't know what i'm gonna get out there but i guarantee you isaac would do it in a heartbeat like i never i never i never mentioned the other roommates i always enjoy it so because isaac's

just such a fun guy like that but anyway so he's just hamming it up with all these yeah with anyone but then a cart girl is another aspect of golf which is just like usually a younger woman who comes around and i think tries to make tip money off of guys flirting with her they need a cart girl in high school hello whoa how was that it was electric she enjoy your three wood yep and four three try six nope nope nope i want to so bad all right all right i'm not gonna say it oh my gosh comment comment it below in youtube comments justin put in the subtitles put the subtitles what i'm thinking right now it's like it's like hurting your brain oh my gosh okay okay i'm gonna move on so isaac and ratchet with the cart girls is also funny throughout the weekend not because he's flirting with them but just because he's being like so basic and

they never realized that isaac's joking so we're about it's just this funny dynamic well anyway isaac's talking to this one girl and this girl one girl was very attractive but i don't think isaac was flirting with her necessarily but she was kind of maybe flirting back a little bit isaac gets back in the car he's like yo me and avery you know whatever so like hey you know you'll see her again about six holes like let's let's gear up all right you know whatever and um she comes back by all the other guys are on the green still i'm done so i run over i'm like i'll snag something for all of us so i'm talking to her i buy some things and she was like oh okay i was like i don't have cash but you do credit cards. She's like, I could type it in manually or Venmo.

Let's do Venmo then. Definitely. And she's like, okay, fun. And so I Venmo her, which seems like this money is just going directly to her. Sure. You know, she's telling me her first and last name. Right. And when I go to Venmo her, because I don't know her at all,

Venmo makes you do that thing where you confirm your last four digits. Right. So she is about to pull off. I'm like, oh, wait, wait, wait. Ven vinmo i need like the last four digits of your phone number and um she's like oh okay i was like funny how that works out i mean why don't you just give me all all 10 of them and so that's yeah so that she's like haha and i was like it's weird like vinmo now my friend on vinmo is saying that i he needs your area code and like the numbers for that and she was like oh it needs the area code i was like no no i was just like messing with you i was just

joking she's like oh you're like doing the joke yeah and she's like yeah yeah and so she's like okay it's eight five seven i was like wait now it's saying now my friend needs to know what you're doing later tonight she's like wait venmo is saying, I'm like, no, I'm still, I'm still doing the joke. She's like, oh, nice. And now my friend definitely is not interested in you. It was brutal. It was, um, she did not have my three wood. It was, it was awful. Isaac's like, dude, you talk me up.

I tried my brother. I said, dude, I tried and it did. You don't want her. Yeah. It did not go well. Not going to be worth it. Yeah. She was very

quick like oh you're doing the joke i you should do that more often okay maybe you practice your jokes you'd be funnier you could do it i think you could you could do it you could figure it out you got the face for it um but yeah so that was kind of fun then the rest of the trip was all about avery and just right you know the one that got away. I did enjoy your little Instagram account. Oh, that was kind of fun. Cacti guys. Cacti guys. Yeah.

Yeah. Little sneak peek for the ghosties. I don't think the account is over with. I think we might do some stuff with that. It's kind of fun. So with some golf stuff here in Kansas City. But it was fun. All the ghosties.

I knew the ghosties would come over. They're so great. All the comments. And you got like 500 followers in the first day or something like that. Yeah. I think it got up to like 800 or something. So that was fun. Thank you guys for joining along.

The golf tracker thing. Oh, yeah. Is that just like a free app? Is that just like a... Try $6 app. Well, it was one of those things where it's like, that's amazing to me, but maybe to like golf people, it's like, yeah, dude, that's just like the most normal thing. I don't know.

To me, I was like, I didn't know that you could... I don't think it's that normal. ...have an app that could track your ball like that. That's really cool. Yeah. And I think it would be easier if you had was like, I didn't know that you could. I don't think it's that normal app that could track your ball like that. It's really cool. Yeah. And I think it would be easier if you had a tripod, but we were just trying to like steady hand it ourselves. And then Isaac would have to go in later and kind of manipulate it.

It was funny. So we had that idea beforehand. So we're like, it's like 1030 at night. We're in Phoenix, Arizona. Okay. And we're like, it'd be great to get a tripod for the course tomorrow. It's we're trying to find like Walmart. That's the most like you thing. Like we're. Dude, it'd be great to get a tripod for the course tomorrow it's we're trying to find like uh walmart's that's the most like you thing though like we're dude it'd be thank me later do it like we're gonna get a tripod right isaac was like very in on it too though so i was gonna get

together and so but like everything is shutting down super early covid covid covid it's like walmart's are closed targets are closed really cbs uh walgreens are like they wouldn't have had them probably wouldn't have actually yeah i think they were open it didn't have them yeah you're right um isaac this whole time that i am looking for things i'm looking for walmart so you were targets isaac's like i mean ross is open and like all right let me like see some other things i'm like ah target is even closed guys ross is not that far away why would ross be open that's weird first of all go ahead yeah and i'm like okay let me i'm going to the cbs online to see if they have like in store like any kind of tripod thing isaac's like can we can you drop me off at ross in the meantime

and i'm not like explicitly saying ross is not gonna have it but i'm hinting to like that's gonna be a waste of time yeah and eventually we have no other option and we're like all right fine we'll drop you off at ross we don't even go inside with him we just we literally drop him off actually this is the most scott thing ever we drop scott off at crumble cookie and we drop isaac off at ross and me and luke stay in the car yeah and uh sure enough i mean it is legitimately probably 15 minutes later but isaac comes out of ross at like 11 15 at night holding a tripod he found one in ross after we called them and they said we don't have tripods really he went in anyway. See, I could see Ross having like a selfie stick or like, you know, like one of those,

like, like, like car mount tripod kind of things or something like, like that's a Ross, like in the first couple of rows, like where you're waiting, you know, like at Ross, they always have like 10 different people, like just like novelty registers, things. Yeah. Yeah. Oh, all these different like registers, things. Yeah. Oh, all these different like chocolates and like lotions. And I could definitely see like something like that, but not just like a straight up tripod. This is why you and Isaac are good at what you do.

You're resourceful guys. Well, I, when you said Isaac was walking out with something, I was like, I could see Isaac walking out with something that would work, but not, not an actual tripod. So that's amazing. Yeah. So we did find one and it was so fun it was just such a great start to the trip i mean he was so proud of himself he walked out of there yeah yeah he walked i think he almost broke it he threw in the car when he got in i told you they'd have one and so then the rest of the trip anytime we need anything should we check her off i mean why another open no open till midnight for some reason that is weird the only thing open is like ross and whataburger really the only thing's open late in phoenixenix but gosh that was fun so anyway you guys had a blast though it was yeah it was good it was i think if you saw any of the pictures or videos it was it looked warmer than it was okay because it

was like it might get up to like 65 but it was pretty windy and so it was like it's something about like phoenix arizona like dry it's a dry heat also a dry cold it did look it did look very windy as well yeah it was very windy so you know we would put on like hoodies and stuff even while golfing so it was still great it was really fun luke and his parents are awesome it's good to see oh that reminds me of something all right i should have looked this up online i think i still remember one night i got a shower mike luke's dad calls me he's like jake i got a quiz for you all right what does this mean oh but down only for you well i guess they had taken other guys to take it earlier while I was in the shower.

I just didn't realize that. I thought that probably knew Mike had an algebra quiz for me. Sure. So I was very excited. Anyway, it's not an algebra quiz. It looks like it came from an email forward. So he's like, don't scroll down. So I was like, OK.

I love it. Yeah. So quiz question number one is how do you get an elephant in the refrigerator? What do you think, Brad? Or just walk me through what you're thinking. One bite at a time. One body part at a time. Something like that.

Yeah. That's what I've always heard. How do you eat an elephant? One bite at a time. Oh, okay. That's good. Was that an email as well? That was a motivational quote from i don't know i'm just kidding um manute bowl yeah um so that's my thought though how do you get an elephant yeah push you tell them get in there

you get an elephant trainer my thought i went a little over the top i was like i mean i guess you probably cut them up. Okay. And then you like dissolve them or like blend them into liquid. And then you. You liquefy that elephant. Or you Walter White them or something. You get them in there.

Something scientific is how you get them in there. You get a really big refrigerator. The answer was open the refrigerator, put the elephant in and close the door. Okay. Some people. And then there's a life lesson with it it's like sometimes people like to complicate things they like to overthink sometimes in life things are just simple well some people like to assume that most refrigerators don't

hold an elephant and those people are closed-minded is what that is like okay so then sure scroll down question some people like to assume that elephants are really big. But elephants actually, when they're born, are a measly 345 pounds. And you'd be shocked at how big refrigerators can get. Industrial, military grade fridges. Were you assuming this was like a normal run of the mill, huge industrial refrigerator? Because it still wouldn't fit it.

Anyway. Question number two. Okay. How do you put a giraffe into a refrigerator? Here we go. You move the elephant to the side. Duck down the neck. Push the giraffe in.

Duck down the neck. That's good. That was probably better than my answer. I was like, i was torn here because i was like i'm annoyed i was i'm annoyed at this already yeah yeah mike just tell me the answer yeah because i'm not gonna get it right like like and my answer is right and subjectively yeah once i saw question two i was like all right some people assume that giraffes are the ones with long necks but really it's all about the perspective you're looking at no a giraffe in eastern africa is a name for a shoe it's actually for the ice cube it was already

in the refrigerator yeah you got it so the answer well i didn't know what to do i was like i don't know if this is like now it's a trick question is this a riddle the whole time what life lesson i learned i was like you know what i'm gonna play their game yes i'm gonna select the answer you know what is be the fool is you just open up the door and put the giraffe in just like the first one and then it says uh did you say open up the refrigerator and put the giraffe in because that is incorrect you need to open the refrigerator take out the elephant and put in the giraffe and close the door this tests your ability to think through the repercussions of your actions sometimes people forget what they've just done what are they talking about mike why are we assuming that a refrigerator can't fit both oh dude i couldn't

fall asleep that night thinking about this refrigerator you're telling me your fridge a fridge can hold an elephant but not an elephant and a giraffe. It's really tiny there though with Dumbo. It is exactly. You can't fit the giraffe in there. It is just perfectly one elephant size. No, no, no, no, no, no, no. That's the only thing it could fit. Giraffes are nimble too.

They could get in all the nooks. Like an elephant alone probably has a giraffe's worth from like the bottom of their torso to their feet. Like a giraffe could easily weasel themselves in there. This is like that. Here's an email for it for you. You've got you've got rocks you've got sand you've got water what order do you put them in sure that's a devo there's a devo there i like that one that one's good yeah you go big rocks you go sand you go water yeah god uh others yourself good yeah also yeah just solids and liquid sure also just science elephant than

giraffe probably i mean somebody out there knows how uh uh flexible that neck is of a draft i guarantee you you could you could contort that thing and go right under the elephant i've watched planet earth too and giraffes will fight each other with their necks they can whip it around that's right so yeah they're very limber willow smith style they're the they're the willow smiths of the serengeti yeah all right so i'm like mike what in the world kind of and everyone's laughing everyone's laughing at it you idiot how did you not get that i get these questions wrong i'm like this is so dumb i can't believe i got out of the shower for this. Question three. Uh-oh, this one doesn't look the same. It says,

The Lion King is hosting an animal conference. All the animals attend except one. Which animal does not attend? I don't know, dude. The one who's hosting. That's supposed to be two. But I ended up, this is the only one I's hosting. That's supposed to be two, but I ended up, this is the only one I got right.

It's the giraffe doesn't go. Cause he's still in the refrigerator. Of course. Okay. So that one, it's not too hard. Some people are assuming that giraffes can't get themselves out of a refrigerator.

Yeah. That's close minded. You think a giraffe is going to miss the animal conference? All of a sudden there's all these just amazing like refrigerators but but but yeah we're like limiting the ability of everything else somebody's assuming some people are assuming that the giraffe would never just knock on the door to get out of the refrigerator plus he's a giraffe in a refrigerator so he's probably dead but i mean we gotta take what kind of animal conference who's speaking who's doing the music true how badly does it when's the last time the giraffe saw them in concert does he want to see them

right does he want to see them? Right. Does he want to attend? Yeah. Yeah. I was trying to think of some good puns for animals. I couldn't think. Oh, he'll just see the neck one.

Yeah, exactly. Thanks. Yeah. Okay. Last question. Question before I'm furious by this point. There is a river you must cross. Oh, sure.

But it is inhabited by crocodiles. How do you get across? Use a boat. That's what I was saying. Like, is there you get a gun and you shoot all the crocodiles that come close to you? I was trying to, like, even involve the animal conferences. Like, do I get some like what crocodiles eat? Do I get some ferrets, some raccoons, some small antelope?

I'm going to all the ferrets. Come with me for a second. Hey, whocoons, some small antelope? I'm going to eat all the ferrets. Come with me for just a second. Hey, who's thirsty, guys? We're going to do a few breakout sessions. Ferrets with me. Anyone feel like getting baptized? Yeah, right. We're going to this river?

We're going to talk about small markets with ferrets, weasels, anything else. Yeah. How to thrive. So that's what I was thinking. I was like, you throw all these small animals in there. And then while they're distracted, I scurry across the river. Sure across the river sure also just build a bridge also go across a different river sure maybe pole vault across or uh yeah get an airplane aeroplane you were assuming that this guy didn't know how to pilot an airplane a little puddle jumper so i don't know what my answer was it was definitely wrong but um correct answer is you swim across silly all the crocodiles are out attending the animal conference dang it

my goodness that was that that's fair i kind of but it's but in the question say the question again there is a river you must cross but it is inhabited by crocodiles inhabited i guess means like i thought you said infested inhabited is a little different because you can you can take vacations from your habitat it's like that's where they typically should be but they're migrating you're telling me every single animal in the world at this conference i mean and their one giraffe is not gonna make their way there i wonder who they got to the conference can't think of a pun. Tony Robbins. Oh, Robin.

Yeah. Nice. Yeah. That's all I got. Probably maybe just the founder of Crocs. Yes. They had to go. That's good.

They had to go. Or never mind. Lacoste is an alligator, but nothing in the name. Baseball is finally back.

Anyway, this email ends by saying. 90% of adult professionals say they got all the questions wrong, but many preschoolers got several answers correct. This disproves the theory that most managers have the brains of a four year old. I don't know, Mike. That's classic. Like, I'm retired.

Like, I'm not reading these emails. I would have loved to hear Isaac answer those questions. Yeah, I missed out on that. But I wasn't planning on talking about that. I forgot about all that. I love it, man. Anyway, that was Phoenix. It was good.

Played good golf and i got to wear a t-shirt sometimes did you win at golf ever i think i won every no there was one version of the game but yeah i won more than i lost good which is fun yeah that's awesome i was playing well it was a good time i watched that one video of you uh so many times we were like you ever seen somebody drive a ball a quarter mile or a country mile and as it goes what's a country mile and you go as you're as you're swinging you go i'll show you and then everyone just dies laughing i mean i because that's something i would have totally done a top golf yeah you did it on like a nice arizona and we were like hitting like that

was my drive for the whole oh it was so dumb because you know in golf there's a lot of etiquette you have to learn and one thing i learned early on is like, yeah, you don't talk in people's backswing, you know, really when they're addressing the ball at all. And I've never heard someone say, don't talk in your own backside. I didn't know how that would go. Is it really that diff? Is it like, have you, have you had somebody recently talking your backswing? It's fine. I don't, I don't get it. And I'm not a purist obviously, or haven't even played golf enough, but I'm just like, I can't imagine that would make that much of a difference for me yeah no that we were playing someone's screaming you know or like trying to heckle me if they like

tickled my buns yeah that would startle me which didn't gutter kind of do that one time not oh yeah he went behind me yeah the first as you were about to sweep yeah i was like oh that was close but there was one time isaac was hit the ball from a fairway and they were doing construction next to us. And right when Isaac started to hit this, like saw like got started up and Isaac continued to hit and hit a really good shot. And so he was joking. He's like, I heard that saw go off and I knew I couldn't let him down.

And then a few holes later, right in my backswing, this dog starts like yelping. And I was like, and I love dog. I know I couldn't let the dog down, you know know so like you think like you're aware that there's noise happening but it's not like you forget how to swing a golf club all of a sudden it's fine i just feel like i just feel like like certain guys out there like i know that i'm supposed to hit it bad once i hear a noise yeah probably mess it up and i'm mad yeah because because the first the one time i've golfed a 18 round or 18 holes, uh, one of my friends who was also very amateur, like the second hole, like there were some guys

over like far away and they yelled at him as my friend, who's like a golf purist was like backswinging. And my friend is the one that's a golf purist is like one of the nicest guys I'll ever, you'll ever meet. He was like the classic, like Christ figure and all the skits at Kanaka. You know, like, uh, and so he didn't say much, but the other guy that was with us kind of just was like, Hey, don't do that. Don't do that during the back swing. And it was just classic because it was like, he was quiet the whole time. And then right as he started swinging, Hey, you guys,

and it was like, it was something that's got a pit state taper. I bet. Um, anyway, that's's that's funny i love it yeah thanks for joining that video it was great i mean i just chunked a driver it was great oh man yeah the way that you started laughing before you even swung it everyone else died laughing i like i laughed every time hattie and i watched it probably 10 times dang that's awesome so yeah we loved it man it was fun to film each other and kind of we don't normally film each other you know we do it for work but we don't do it like casually ever you know so it's kind of fun i'm sure scott liked it because he's not a social media guy so he's like finally i have oh some fun things to post on social media it was so funny explaining to scott

or like it was in between rounds i was like all right i think i want to start this instagram up and so he's like um i was like i just went and did this I was like, all right, I think I want to start this Instagram up. And so he's like, um, I was like, I just went and did this. This is like, wait, you know, what'd you do?

Cause Scott doesn't have Instagram or anything. He doesn't have Facebook. And so I was like, I'm posting to the account now. He's like, Oh, do we have followers? I was like,

no, I'm just kind of posting to have some stuff there. And just like getting to, he had all these questions and getting to like talk him through. He's like, okay, so now what is this? And I'm like, well, you know, it's kind of like, um through he's like okay so now what is this and i'm like well you know it's kind of like um i'm gonna be directing people

to this instagram from my instagram i don't want there to be anything blank there yeah and um it was just kind of fun it was like i was talking to like someone like a time traveler or something and also it showed to me that was like i i think i just subconsciously know how to like promote things and i didn't even think twice about it sure i should do a story on my page yeah of something unrelated but it's funny and they're like but guys you can follow this also do this yeah also could you believe that bicycle thing that was 100 true the like it said prove you're not a robot it said click all the bicycles and then it was those men that was like carved out men oh yeah i didn't really look at that too deeply but it was a pretty inappropriate i don't know what was going on it was i did i just

saw click like on all the bicycles and it was like clearly there's no bicycles and i was like that's funny i thought that was the joke and then later i was you were kind of like going into like no this is kind of an awkward picture and i was like i didn't even realize yeah that's what it is it's like all these dudes just like just kind of they look like they're all in a race uh track and field and maybe they're kind of like hurtling over each other it's probably the clean way of calling that you know when you like bend over when you're racing you know that's like the first olympics i think is what that is either way no bikes no bikes no more bikes yeah um anyway what'd you do this week oh man this week i had i have i've done some stuff

but not much it's been a pretty we've been sick like all week yeah um and i as i was thinking about it i was kind of like making notes because i was like i gotta have something written down here uh so jake's just that i'm not just gonna be like i didn't do anything um i at first i was gonna write it was a depressing week and i I think that word is too strong because I think everyone's like, I'm depressed. And I'm like, I don't think you're depressed. I think you're just sad right now. Yeah. So it was not a depressing week, but it was, it was, it was like a, definitely a trials, a week of trials for us because we were all like sick with this weird cold thing. And then all of a sudden I think Bo and Hattie and I all got like ear infections.

Like, so, so Monday night we got done with the basketball game. I got home and I woke up at like 2 AM with like this terrible ear infection. Like could not fall asleep for like five hours was like just struggling. Um, and I don't think I've ever had anything like that before. Like, I mean, at least not in my adult life. I didn't know adults got ear infections anymore. I remember when you texted me and Trey, like, guys, I don't feel great. My ear is like throbbing. I was like, thinking about that. I was like, that sounds awful. Yeah. I've never had a ear pain. It's one of those things where it's like, yeah, unless you have it, it doesn't sound that bad. But if it's like, think about like a really bad pain in your ear. It's just like, yeah,

that's, that's terrible. It just seems like you wouldn't be able to like not think about it. Exactly. It's yeah. It was just, and so, yeah. And so along with that, then like Bo is, Bo is just like right on the cusp of not really being able to speak yet. Like he has like, you know, probably 50 words in his vocabulary. So he can't tell us how he's feeling. Like, so there was one day where he just kept saying ouch over and over again, but it's like, I think you haven't heard, like, it's like all these different things. And, and he's just like, every, everything you do, he cries and screams. And it's like, yeah, it was just this really,

really hard few days. And then he kind of started getting over it. And, and, but then he kept screaming. And so I'm like, okay, are you just a bad, like, are we training you bad? Are we doing bad things? So it was like, how much do I need to discipline you? Or how much are you still sick?

And I don't know it. How much attention do you need? Yeah. How much attention do you need me? Like, like, cause he's not like a cuddly guy. I mean, he's, he's okay with that, but like, he's not super loving like that. And he just like laid on us like multiple days in a row. And so like, okay, something clearly wrong with you, but then he got over it, but he

was still being bad. And so I'm like, like, there was a point where I was like, I, I don't like you right now. Like, I was like, this is, this is so hard. And like, and obviously Catherine is eight months pregnant. And so she's, you know, obviously just having her own struggles. And then she has a sinus infection and, and like, normally when she like struggles, that's when I'm like, let's go. Like, I, I am so quick to like, try to serve her better and like pamper her and like, you know, get rest. But since I was feeling so sick, it was like, dang, I, I, I don't want to help you. Like, and so like, I was much more hesitant. Like, you know, I would eventually probably help her, but I was like, oh, let's just see if she can get over this one by herself.

It doesn't sound like it sounds like, yeah. You know, she likes to sit in oils. Let's see. So it's just like, It's just been a struggle. Catherine and I are still struggling through this. I went to the doctor the other day, ENT, and they gave me some medicine. I'm feeling better, but I was telling you,

my ear, I can't really hear. I have a ringing slash echoing in my ear. I can't really hear out of my left ear. It's popping a lot gosh the eustachian tube you know the eustachian tubes the e-tube yeah yeah it's just a weird thing and so it's at this point it's more annoying than it is like yeah truly terrible for me i think for katherine still she's got a lot of sinus pressure and so so anyway um but because of that i've spent a lot of time at home which has been sweet in some moments and just terrible at other moments.

So like, uh, the sweet moments, um, I've obviously just gotten to spend a lot of time with my kids. And I think like probably subconsciously, maybe not even, maybe intentionally, I try to just teach my kids how fun balls are. Like I just want them, you know, how you and I are, like if we have a ball, that's all you need to have fun balls are. Like I just want them, you know how you and I are. Like if we have a ball, that's all you need to have fun. Yeah. I just, I just want my kids to enjoy playing catch as much as I do. And so like multiple times, like last night before bed, Bo and I sat on like, well, he stood on one side of the bed. I was like on my knees on the other side. And we just like

tossed the ball like down the bed to each, back and forth for like 30 minutes. Wow. It was awesome. Like he had so much fun with it. Like he loves doing that stuff. And like Hattie and I today played this game where she would throw me the ball in our bedroom. I would catch it on my bed. And then she would try to run out of the bedroom before I'd pelt her. That sounds fun. It was awesome for both of us. Like, cause she got to run around, she got to throw the ball to me. And like, it was so fun for me. Cause it was like a quick, like, you know, almost like a double play kind of like catch and, you know, throw real quick. Uh, so sometimes a few times I hit her pretty hard.

That's fun. I was trying to get something like that going today. I was back home in Stratford and I had about 20 minutes kind of in between things. So I just went and hit golf balls in the front yard, like real golf balls. And my parents' dog started going and like fetching the golf balls. Like this could be amazing. Yeah. He would take that dog home. Yeah. He would pick up the golf balls and then just take off with them. So it was, it was almost really cool. He would just take them and just run away. So that was not as cool.

Oh man. But, uh, yeah, I mean, there's, it's been fun. I mean, just getting time with them, Hattie and Bo really they're getting time with them. Hattie and Bo, really, they're getting into basketball. Like Hattie is like really enjoying watching KU basketball, which is so fun, obviously, right now, March Madness and everything. And she like loves like watching and seeing how many points everybody has. So she's like, Jayhawks have 61. You know, they have 59. So I try to like, you know, try to turn it into a math problem.

But of course, that's way too tough. You know, but if it's like seven to four i'm like okay how many more points do they have than you know them or no but she she gets really excited when they're tied and i'm like no we don't want it to be tied she loves that though yeah she's like it's a tie game because she loves like anytime her and i play something she either wants to win or tie really which i kind of respect she like tries to manipulate the rules to like, no, we, you know, we tied. That's the rules now. I think it was a tie. The rules are that we tie.

And I'm like, I won. She's like, which I kind of liked that. She's like that competitive. She never wants to lose. But, um, you should ask her how to get a Jayhawk in her refrigerator next time. Next time you're watching. How do you do that? Yeah.

Um, no, but anyway, she's, she's loving it. So like every single time I'm watching a game, she says, what are the team's names? And, you know, she'll just be like, I want this team to win because they're this color. I want this team to win because I like that name. And yesterday we watched three parts of three different games together. And she rooted for the Aggies, Texas A&M Aggies. Okay. She rooted for the Jayhawks and she rooted for the Hokies, the Virginia Tech Hok okay all three teams won whoa so i'm not saying that you should fill out her own bracket yeah i

think we definitely need her to fill out a bracket and i think she could go far um but she's like really into the jayhawks which is like sweet for me because i grew up a huge jayhawks fan and of course like katherine's like i can't believe my family's going to feel like I'm such a failure, you know, because you've, yeah, you brought up the KU. It's just infiltrated KU on her. Cause, cause last night KU played Texas tech, which is where Catherine's dad went. And so we were sending videos back and forth. She was saying the rock talk, all this different stuff. So, um, but anyway, that's fun.

So that, that I wrote down how to quote of the week. So I'm going to try to be consistent with this. Um, so last Saturday, KU played TCU, I think. And, uh, she's like, dad, can we watch sports again together tomorrow? And which is just music to my ears. And I was like, it's Sunday. There's, I was like, there's not really, I don't think there's any games, like any good games. And she's like, well, it doesn't have to be a good game. I just want to watch sports with you. Wow. And I was like,

okay, we'll find a game, you know, we'll find an NBA game or something. I, there was NBA. Sunday's usually a pretty good NBA game. Oh really?

So I think we watched bucks and sons. So it was like a rematch of the finals. That's funny. Yeah. You and Addie just watching the bucks sons game. Yeah. But she loves it. I mean, she knows like two points, one point, three point.

She's like attentively watching NBA basketball. Sometimes. I mean, and then there's other times where she gets really excited about the commercials because then I'll play with her and like toss her off the couch or something. Yeah, that's fun. So it's like a little bit of both. It's not like this ideal utopia of like, my daughter loves this. Look at the pick and rolls, dad.

You know, she doesn't say anything like that yet. Like I'm like, see that? That's called a backdoor cut. It works every time. But I'm pumped about March Madness. And that's been a highlight of my week is watching sports with them. And I like the conference championships a lot too.

Did you get to watch any? No. I really like watching the conference championships a lot too. Really? Did you get to watch any? No. I really like watching the conference championships because they're so, I don't know. I feel like the fans that go there are all like, obviously Big 12 fans that are going to the Big 12 tournament games. And so then it's like, it's just more rivalry there. Whereas the March Madness is just like kind of random melting pot of yeah

that's a good point so anyway how was basketball that you played last week when all four of us were gone yeah it was actually really fun i'm not gonna lie i missed you guys obviously um but we had yeah so we had four subs we ended up getting four subs which is awesome um it was gunner one of gunner's co-workers. Which co-worker? Michael? Matthew. Okay. His last name was Murda.

I made puns off that. Yeah, sure. Murda. Yeah, there's been a Murda. Gunner, Matthew, I think. Joel, who is Garrett's brother-in-law. Ghosty. Dallas Brad.

Dallas Brad. Love Joel. Yeah, I like him too. I didn't get to hang out with him a whole lot but he was fun and then uh garrett's high school friend named hank um that's why you said something in the did you see my thing i said i need my boy hank i've played basketball with hank have you he can move his body around he's good he's good down there okay yeah so yeah i i didn't know hank with you guys. That's hilarious. So, so yeah, Garrett and

Hank, uh, we're high school friends and Hank, like the first time he got the ball, Hank's not a dribbler. I'll say that. So he got the ball and in my head, I was like, why did Garrett get this guy? And I'm not, I'm not trying to be like a huge hater. Cause I'm, I'm clearly like the weak league of our team. Like I'm not like some stud of a basketball player, but I was like this guy, I don't know. I don't know if he's going to make us much better, but besides dribbling, the dude can play. Like he made multiple threes. He took a charge at one point.

Okay. He had like a couple different times where he like spun around and like, like a spin move on a guy and like laid it in. And so played some pretty good ball. Okay. From what I remember, I mean, I played with him probably like in a pickup game yeah four years ago but he was not that tall but was like the most dominating post guy he like knew how to move his yes kind of gluke hoagland it was a classic like uh like you played high school basketball and so you like you were coached a little bit better than most

people gotcha like he knew how to yeah manipulate his body better um and then hank i'm gonna see what he said in the text and then we had gunner's uh gunner's co-worker who who adopted the team as his own like he was like like he it was it was sammy it was sammy all over again like sammy played with us a few like last year and uh cool guy sammy just man, he screamed and like, got so excited about every call. This, that was, this was this guy to a T to the, and this guy actually maybe was the reason we lost because we call the timeout. He went to go get a drink. We thought we didn't know, like, we saw that we had two guys on the bench, but really there were three guys on the bench. If you only put four guys in there for whatever reason, it's a technical.

Oh, to have less. Yeah. It should be a technical for them exactly it's like they should give you free dress um but we got a technical for that and so no way yeah it's kind of a bogus thing huh uh but overall we we held our own against this team i think that i don't know if they were undefeated but they were they're they're they're seated higher than us and we've only lost one game so i think they might have been undefeated so uh they were fine um rustin kind of held the zone and just did a lot he's very good and then garrett you know garrett better than i do i i was excited in the text yeah in the group text what i saw yeah pre-ear pre-earache i i texted you know uh some different things about how garrett it was hilarious so so garrett went to sbu SBU Southern Baptist Southwest Baptist university with Jake. And I said something about like, yeah, we saw not so Southern Baptist Garrett tonight, something like that. And cause we texted like how the game

go or something. We lost by three, I think. Right. Yeah. And Garrett texted, I'm still hot, which I didn't know what that meant. That could be taken a few different ways. Sure. And then he's worked really hard. So it's just like, you play good D is a warm night and then 30 minutes later yeah brad text we saw not so southern baptist it was awesome so so like and i will say throughout the season garrett has gotten a little bit under some different player skins right other people seem upset at garrett yes but garrett usually keeps it pretty cool so i wonder if garrett's just a little bit of a you know coercer yeah um but there was another guy and I, I, we might need to get Garrett's take on this because I can't remember super well because so many things have gone on

in my life since then. But there was another guy on the other team who like, there was, there were a few different times where like, as they were walking down the court, like they were kind of flailing elbows a little bit or like kind of, kind of something like, like this guy would kind of try to set some screens or something on Garrett that like, we're pretty extracurricular, pretty weird. And like, okay, Garrett's Garrett's doing something. I feel like sometimes like, so, so Garrett, if you guys don't know is like the classic, like he's a soccer player, he's super in shape. He's a physical therapist. Like he, he's just very in shape. So he's like, he never runs out of gas. So he'll play, he'll, he'll like all of a sudden probably pick you up, you know, full

court and be totally fine with it and be super like probably annoying to the other people. I think this is what I did to people in high school. They would get so upset at me. It's like, I'm not trying to be necessarily like mean. I just, I think it comes across as annoying and you're probably just wears you out. Like, geez, give me a break. Just stop for a second. Yeah.

And maybe that's what happened. I truly don't know. But there was one time I think that this guy kind of like this, there was a big dude, like bigger than me, like more athletic, like more like in shape than me though, like running down the court and like came at Garrett and like shoved his elbow, like with, with the ball, like kind of shoved Garrett out of the way. And this was after there was already a little bit of tension and and call they call the foul on the offense i think and then like i think the next player to uh he came down again and tried to do the same thing and yeah or maybe no no no garrett had the ball was coming down and this guy tried to go foul garrett

okay and garrett out of like pretty much self-defense, like threw his hand up, like instinctively, like if I threw a ball at you right now, you'd catch it. Yeah. If it's coming at your face, like, I think he just instinctively like put his hand up and just like got the guy a little bit and they call the foul on Garrett. Nice. And Garrett was so mad at the rest. Garrett was like, Garrett, Garrett could not let it go. Like after the game got over, Garrett was still talking like during the game game Garrett's wife is in the stands you know because Garrett doesn't have kids yet so his wife's always at the game which is awesome and Peyton's just like Garrett just calm down and I and you know like usually like

Garrett is like I thought you were gonna say Peyton was like yell at the rest no no well no that's the funny thing so so so Peyton was there but but then, uh, Garrett's sister, Joel's wife, Bailey, Bailey, ghosty, I believe, uh, Bailey, the ghosty, uh, was, was also there. And after the game, she was really hot. So it was like, it was like, okay, it's a Gibson. Yeah. It's like, it's like they're competitive. She's like, I just don't like it when people mess with my brother. And I'm like, yeah, I get it. And Peyton's like the non-confrontation like, ah, I don't know. I didn't like this. Uh, just stay in my lane kind of thing uh but garrett yeah garrett just could not handle it and you know he was kind of like looking at a paint like peyton i got this i got this and and then that was like his fourth foul so i'm

trying to be over on the bench being like hey garrett just fyi you're doing great but just like that's your fourth foul he's like i know i i can i can handle it it was awesome like i was so proud because usually that's me. Like in the, in the past seasons when we played Casey, I'm the one that gets really fired up. You're like, finally, it's not me. I'm like, finally I've graduated. Like I, I, I have been able to like, not be so competitive with this, but I'm also like proud of you for sticking up for yourself because it was, this guy was like coming at him. Like, and this guy was probably, yeah. Six, three, six, four, a big, like two 75, like coming at him. Like, and this guy was probably, yeah, 6'3", 6'4",

a big like 275, like coming at Garrett. And Garrett's like, yeah, Garrett's not a tall guy. Both of them are very tall guys. Probably 5'10", 5'10", yeah. So anyway, I loved it though, because we're playing that exact same team. With the exact same refs. Yeah.

And so at the end of the game, like Garrett was talking and one of the refs, Malik, he's like, he's like, you know, write me a review. You can review me every week. And Garrett's like, I review you every week. I don't know if he really does. Garrett's like, I'm going to review you. He's like, cool. My name is Malik.

Like, yeah. So anyway, the whole thing was great though. And I think we could have won. We played pretty well. I think we can beat them this week though. Um, anyway, anyway, it was, it was great though. Watching Garrett, because it was like, it was like, I knew Garrett and like, we, he is like the smiliest, like kindest guy. I'm always laughing so much until you, until you cross that line. And then all of a sudden it's like, okay, let's go. Okay. Oh yeah. I'll get it. I'll get in there with you. I'll scrap it up. So that's awesome. Anyway. College athlete. Oh yeah. I'll get it. I'll get in there with you. I'll scrap it up.

So that's awesome. Anyway. Um, it was fun. We missed you guys for sure. But the guys that we had were, were great subs. So are we getting hanky panky back or what? I don't know. I think he might be on the list.

I said we should. Yeah. I liked him. Don't, don't let them dribble. Set some screens for him. I think I even said that to Garrett. I was like, I was like i was like yeah the first time i saw him dribble and garrett's like yeah not a great tripler but man he was knocking him

down that's awesome yeah yeah i haven't seen hank in a while that's funny yeah i uh i'm excited i don't know if i've told you this i'm going on a little trip actually i guess it's kind of soon probably three weeks from now with uh the gibsons uh me and rachel and then garrett and peyton are going on just like a three-day trip together so i'll try not to make them mad where y'all going uh so everyone is meeting at in las vegas because i have a show there on april 1st and then from there we have a rental car actually the rental car just got canceled yesterday so i guess i gotta rebook another one okay yeah um it was yeah i just canceled on me yeah so i gotta rebook but uh we're. Yeah. Um, it was, yeah, I just canceled on me. Yeah.

So I got to rebook, but, we're going to drive to Zion. I said that kind of weird. We're going to drive probably Zion, maybe arches. Bryce. Fun.

Uh, yeah, that was my favorite national park in the limo trip. So I've wanted to go back and cool. Uh, so yeah, just ask for a going. So I'll make sure,

you know, Garrett doesn't get elbowed on the hikes or on the trails or, you know, like everyone plays a good game. Yeah. That guy's getting in my spot. Dude. I just thought it's like when you said a baby was like,

I don't like what people mess with my brother. We were all like, my whole family was together last night. Grandma, grandpa, uncle John, parents, sister.

And we were all just kind of sharing stories. And they were telling me a story, you know, just multiple stories of my dad's high school football career, which are hilarious. And I'm sure my dad was a decent football player, but the only ones we hear are just the hilarious ones. So we learned that my dad used to be a punter briefly. Okay. And so we're like, how long did that last? And he, and he goes, well, I'll tell you the last pun I ever did. It's when I caught my own punt well that's probably not good and so he's telling us that story of the night he caught his own punt and me and john were like very windy night yeah dude the dead wind was nuts we were like what even happens like is that legal like what do you do yeah are you allowed to run i don't know what happens if you catch a fair catch right or something that's something bad technical foul and uh he was also talking about a different night where he was a senior in high school playing

college football and john and angie i mean they were they were married they were living in kansas city and they were six years older you know they i think they had a kid at that they had john david at that point they had fully adult lives they would drive down to wherever my dad was playing every friday uh to come watch him play football. That's awesome. And Angie also didn't like what people mess with their brother. And I guess this one team, Eldorado Springs or something, you know, Eldo. Oh, yeah. Yeah.

Yeah. Go ahead. Do you actually? I've been following on Facebook some some Ozark different teams. Did you see that comment? I did see your comment. Yeah. yeah about like just so my dad reposted from the strafford team yeah you're like no way around it he's a heck of a ball player he's a good ball player he can play yeah anyway i think eldorado springs and some other team and eldorado springs just like dominate them 65 24 in the regionals or something i i almost i almost commented on

or like tagged your dad anyway go ahead i ahead. I'm not going to find it. It's not going to be on my Facebook feed again. But anyway, I guess people were being mean to my dad or they weren't calling, you know, personal fouls or roughing the quarterback or whatever. Roughing the punter. And so my sister went into the opposing team's locker room after the game and just laid into him

and gave him a piece of her mind that they were being mean to her little brother. my gosh yeah we were talking we're like i can't imagine like doing that in this day and age because one i mean that definitely would have gone viral you know someone's holding their phone i'm like look at this guy's yeah sister is coming in here and then my dad was like i think me catching my own punt would have gone viral too but that's pretty great though i yeah i think i think back in the day though that probably was going to be more accepted like probably by that other team like they would probably be like oh crap we gotta we gotta listen to this woman like rather than being like this

woman's crazy it's like good family values like you know what maybe we were a little mean tonight and they it might have also been like oh i know like angie's friends with my brother so i better chill about this like you know it's small town enough where they were saying to, they're like, I think Angie had the rep too, that like my dad actually didn't get made fun of about that because I think they also, maybe they just didn't want to answer the L them too.

Yeah, really. They just like respected her and they're like, don't, don't make Angie mad. Yeah. It's like, it's like,

no, you don't want to, you don't want to mess with this girl. I couldn't believe that. I mean, your dad's been in a hundred fist fights. Yeah. So,

I mean, that's where he gets it from. Right. 98 of them were against my sister or his sister oh that's amazing so i should introduce bailey to angie they could probably they could hang out dude i'm gonna give your dad crap real fast and i tell me if i've already given him crap about this i went i meant to talk to him about this on our patreon episode because uh one time i was talking to him it was like maybe it was one of the first times we met. Um, we were playing pickleball and, uh, he, we were, we were talking about, so like I knew Angie, his sister, um, when I was growing up because your cousin was on my

baseball team and all that stuff. So, um, fence story, all that stuff. And, uh, he goes, he goes he goes my sister is the hottest woman i've ever met in my life and i and i i think he used the word hot i don't think he used the word prettiest i think because and she is like very in shape like doesn't she do fitness stuff she does like a lot of spin class yeah and so i wanted to i wanted to say something to him like so you're from missouri right it's like missouri has certain like stereotypes or whatever can you remind me steve like who you said the hottest girl? Do you think he really said the word hot? I could see him saying the word beautiful. I think he said the word hot. I think he said the word hot. I think that's, I'm not joking, dude. And, and maybe, maybe I'm

misremembering it. Steve's probably listening right now. Like, Oh, I did not say that Trish Trish. I didn't say that. I didn't say that trish i promised trish but i remember it was like it was like it was at least attractive it wasn't just like pretty it was like something deeper where i was like i gotta bring this up steve but i didn't maybe i wasn't bold enough to say to his face my sister she could have been a car girl i'll say that i'll just say yeah you would have been tipping her a lot on vinmo anyway oh it's just so funny because it's just like classic like southern missouri you know hottest girl i know my sister yeah if you if you say anything she'll be at your door in 20 minutes if you disagree oh man anyway she's she's beautiful though steve she is she's pretty girl pretty gal pretty gal oh i don't know where to go from here um i have something i i would like

your help brad i need some knowledge great there are two things in life that have their own designated designated areas and i don't know what happens inside of them following okay i'll say that that's the given right now in geometry i I don't understand where you're going yet. Just like there are locations on this earth and I don't understand them. Okay. Okay. One is the crying baby room at a church. Okay.

Second is like the vegetables drawer in a refrigerator. You're asking me. What goes on inside? What? Of either. What are we doing in there? Yeah. Like more on the church side.

Like, is it really loud? Is it fun? Have you been in one before? And their fridge side, it's like, is that a, how does, how, how is there different types of cold happening in one refrigerator where it's like, Oh, veggies down here. Better put your drinks up in the door. How is that different? It is different. Okay. Tell me everything. So, so first of all, the crying thing, I've never been into crying babies. Always wanted to. Yeah. Maybe someday.

Yeah. Maybe in like, you know, late May. Another couple of your infections. Yeah, exactly. Hopefully not. The first church, like the church we were going to when we had our little, like with Bo and Hattie, when they were little, it was small enough where we didn't have anything that cool.

Okay. This one, I don't know. Like this church that we go to now is huge, but I don't know if they have like a specific, if they're that, that modern or if it's just like, Hey, let's watch this person walk down, you know,

50 rows of, uh, chairs here and walk out of the sanctuary and this thing. Cause the baby's loud. Cause the baby's loud. But I would assume, um, by the time they're there,

it's more of like a nursing thing. Maybe not though. Maybe. And so maybe it's just like, whoa, this is not Southern Baptist. This is more Pentecostal over here. It's like, okay. Whoa. You know, different kind of show.

Get the Venmo's out. That's right. And so, yeah, but I think that's like a newer thing. I know you talked about on Correct Opinions, the lactation. Oh, yeah. Fargo Airport. Yeah. Yeah. Lactation station. Surely that's got to be aation. Oh, yeah. Fargo Airport. Yeah. Yeah.

Lactation station. Surely that's got to be a law that they're adding those in these days. Probably. Like it's like you have to have something like available for this. Maybe every airport needs to have one. And because Fargo is so small, it's like, oh, there it is. But other airports, it's like very hidden. It's like the same size, no matter what size airport.

It has to be 30 by 40. Yeah, yeah, yeah. It is massive. It was huge in fargo yeah but yeah i don't know too much about the um the crying baby let's talk veggie drawers then veggie drawer though i think i think there's different uh you you can you can slide the scale right on how cold you want your oh oh the drawer has a scale yeah i don't think i have that i bet you do okay i'll save up check check okay so i can see if you do because i think like most normal refrigerators i think do and like there's a difference between like fruit and

veggies versus cheese and like uh you know sandwich meats and stuff like that so i don't know exactly what what's all what's all about but i also know that obviously if you uh put stuff in the refrigerator it lasts longer so good um just fyi just fyi yeah i saw a hack the other day it was like once you get the avocados to the exact right you know thing that you want put them in the refrigerator and they'll last another two weeks holy cow that's life-changing it really is i'm like i've been on facebook a lot lately good job um okay the um like the secondary temperature adjustment i didn't know i had that so that makes more sense i thought it was just one open cooler,

but you're telling me once it's in a drawer, now it's better for vegetables. I think, yeah, yeah, yeah. I think so. Um,

because I think it keeps it a little bit of a different temperature to where it doesn't dry it out or whatever. I don't know. All right. But maybe you don't have the sliding scale. Maybe I'm assuming that like everyone's just rich like me, but I don't think my refrigerator is that nice. And it has it.

And I think even like our old, like refrigerator in our garage has it. gotcha yeah um should we talk about the girls channel let people know what's happening just because basically this has been in the works for like close to a year now that like trey and i are trying to grow what we're doing almost as a business almost franchising it in a way step one was gene schwartz comedy me and brad which it's been fun brad and i sorry uh more ownership i'm starting to feel more like mental ownership which i think is important for me to like really yeah yeah just like we're not just doing whatever you know we think trey wants us

to do like this is our youtube channel yeah it's been hitting me kind of crazy like we have a youtube channel you and i of 100 000 subscribers yeah it doesn't feel that way though you know it still feels like we're like trerey's, you know, secondaries. But like, it's so interesting. Yeah. But hey, new profile picture. Just our faces. Just us.

It is very interesting. Someone was asking me recently who was, oh, it was Harrison. We were having a good intentional conversation. And he was like, you have so much going on. Like when you wake up in the morning, like what is driving you? What are you thinking about? And I was like, just in the last week, it's dawned on me what Brad and I have in this YouTube channel. Like this is nuts. Yeah. Should we be taking more advantage? Are we doing a good

job? I don't know. Right. Like how do we find the balance there? Yeah. It's just like, this is kind of crazy. So very fun anyway. So that was step one. And then now, you know, Trey got us off the ground. Now he is weaning himself off. He's not really going to be in the videos anymore. Yeah. He's a big wiener. Step two is, uh, it just more and more YouTube channels. So the plan from the beginning was like startup channel, mean Brad. And from there I have a female led channel where it's still kind of similar videos, you know, relatable, short form comedy sketches, but with females at the center, cause there's not really, that doesn't exist a ton out there. If it does exist, it's not great. Or it's probably inappropriate. Yeah. It it's either it's either not that funny or not that appropriate correct so and um so without them knowing it our friends lindsey and morgan

have kind of been auditioning for the roles of this for i mean a year now and uh they've done a great job on camera they've done a great job coming up with stuff on the fly they're good at improvising and uh anytime they're in videos people love them we There was a top comment of like the Starbucks husband's video that I think it was like, these girls need their own channels. Like just you wait, you know, Donna. Yeah. And so it's very exciting,

especially just because I'm good friends with them. I'm so excited to like give you this platform and like, I hope it goes well. And it'll be fun because I think it'll be different than being females. Like we've talked to them. Like when we did the first dates video with Emily and Lindsay, there were so many comments.

It was like, where did Lindsay get her outfit from? And so I think no one's ever asked us that. No, zero percent, zero, not one comment. And so I think that's like a little side thing.

Like I think every, how fun would it be? Every single comedy sketch, they're in a cool outfit where it's like, Hey, if you like what we're wearing for some reason, there's a affiliate link below. Like girls would love that girls would get that up so i think it'll be really fun and exciting and i came up with a name for it like probably a year ago

as a joke and i still to this day don't even really like the name oh you don't i don't i i like what jean shorts is appropriate like or like two i think i just like jean shorts i liked it it was quick and it was fun and it was like had nothing to do with comedy videos yeah it's just i don't know it was fun um and anyway just it was fun it was good word play i came up with the name girls gone mild because they were going to be like clean you know girl comedians and it was like that's kind of a funny placeholder for now we'll find something and then trey came back around he's like dude i'm really liking that name i was like we could think of something else he's like no i think i really i was like all right so i guess that's what it's like, no, I think I really... I was like, alright.

So I guess that's what it's going to be called. And I think we have a meeting with the girls here in like eight days or so. Next Monday, I think we're meeting with them and going to shoot some photos and yada yada. Yeah, it's going to be fun. So you guys be looking out for it. We'll obviously let you guys know, but help get them

started and off the ground and be supportive if you want to if you like it don't support if it's not good yeah no yeah well yeah well just go ahead and support it okay at least the first three yeah and then but but don't keep supporting it yeah yeah you gotta show us your true opinions on things anyway that is the girls channel love it and then channel next channel up tdb we talked about that one one where we would find like an old man. I love that idea. 55 year old man influencer.

I think that'd be so funny. It's possible. Yeah. Just like a random dude who just is funny and old and just, yeah, would be great on the camera. And I think it'd be great to have like almost two guys that are that age. One that's like a dad that's like just became an empty nester maybe. And one that like is just became a grandpa, you know still a young grandpa i don't know you would just get so much more material right of knowing you know empty nesters be like i mean

we don't we can't make shoot that video right right just opens your world up to so many different things so yeah yeah like that we've talked about doing sports we talked about doing a Christian channel. You were talking about doing one in Espanol. Yes, si. Yeah. Con Domi. Domi y yo is what it's called. Yeah. That's going to be good. I'll be looking out for that one, guys.

Si, si, si, si, si. Yeah, that'll be fun. So that's the girls' channel. Yeah. So I mentioned that I went to the ENT the other day. Yes. Ear, nose and throat doctor. Good.

And while I was there, I was like mentioning like, yeah, but I still just can't hear it. It feels like really clogged. And they're like, ah, it just doesn't seem like it's adding up. Maybe you just like have some hearing loss. And I'm like, and I know that like, I don't know if I've talked about in the podcast, but I have like something called distortion in my ear, in my right ear. Cause like, I think one time with the amplifier, like it just like messed up my ear. And so like, if things are too loud or like in the right, whatever the right way, sometimes it feels like there's fuzzy in my ear. So I mentioned that,

but this is like my left ear. So they're like, well, I think you should go and get a hearing test. I was like, I don't really want to do that. It sounds like I have to set up another appointment. She was like, no, no, you just go across the hall. Like there's an audiologist here. I was like, okay, sure. Why not? Uh, and so this hearing test was just, it was fine. Like they put you in this like booth, like this corner, little booth. It's like, you know, soundproof. And then they give you like these, uh, like very, like they look like this, like just like straight on ear phones, but just go straight into your ears. Not very comfortable. I would know. And, and then they, they, like, they just talk to you

in this microphone in the other room. And like, I did hearing tests all the time growing up. Like, I don't know if you guys did them at school. Like once a year we had like hearing tests. Yeah. It was like left, right. Where do you hear it? Yeah. And like, you just raise your hand every time you hear a beep. Yeah. And I was like, I nailed that. We didn't get the fluoride stuff, but we got the hearing test. Um, and, but, but this one was like, okay, I'm just going to say a word and you just say it back to me. Oh, and dude, it was just the, it was like a rural. Yeah. It's like, ah, yeah. Or just like very racist things. Yeah. Am I supposed to say that? Um, like, is this a quote? Is this like a song lyric or do you want me

to like say it like but but like the weirdest thing because like i think part probably part of it is like there's different you know like vowel sounds maybe i can hear some better than the other and so it's probably very intentional words but just felt like the most random words they could think of huh to the point where i was like is this a is she making these are you just coming up with that playground so like like like so nostril so real fast so okay you're i'm i'm the audiologist here you are i got things in my ears yeah and and you know and it's different different decibel sometimes it's really quiet you know left or right ear whatever okay say the word rope rope say the word faucet. Faucet. Say the word armchair. Excuse me.

Armchair. Yeah. Sometimes it was like armchair. Say the word handbag. Handbag. Say the word woodwork. Woodwork. Say the word binder.

Binder. Say the word lamp. Lamp. Say the word attainable. Attainable. And then it was like a lot of silence. I was like, am I missing one or am I just like. Shoot, I can't hear.

You're just trying to guess. Yeah. Yeah. Seattle. Did I get it right? Sean Kemp. Was I close? Say the word piston. Piston.

Sorry. Say the word cable. Cable. And then, and then like, it's like getting weirder. It's like, okay. Say the word Fu Manchu. Fu Manchu. Say the word armpit. Armpit. Say the word fuselage. F Fu Manchu. Say the word armpit. Armpit.

Say the word fuselage. Fuselage. Say the word bunion. Bunion. Say the word heifer. Heifer. Say the word CBD. CBD.

Say the word Wendy's Biggie Bag. Wendy's Biggie Bag. Say the word yellnats. Yellnats. Say the word Stanley. Stanley. Say the word sploosh. Sploosh. say the word sweet feet

okay you're done okay and it was like that was it and it was it was just like the weirdest it was it was like it was like this is it like just give me the beeps next time yeah i think i could do the beeps i don't know if i need specific words over and over again and like i said i'm sure i'm sure sure there's different intentionalities between each word of like, you know, like the hard A versus the soft. That's funny. Anyway, it was just a weird, weird experience. I'm already like feeling rough and whatever.

I'm just like, just let me. Luckily, my hearing is okay. Like I passed. Dude, this could be a sketch. This is so funny. Just like they walk you through a couple of samples. Say the word table. Say the word, you know, fork.

Now say the word bush. Bush. Now say the word did. Did. Now say nine. Nine. Now say 11. 11.

Wait, wait, wait. No, no, no. How did that feel? What do you mean did? What do you mean did? How did that feel? Did that feel? Well, my wife's from Texas. Yeah. Did that feel what do you mean did what do you mean did how did that feel did that feel well my wife's from texas so i don't yeah that feel correct right did you feel alarmed at any point yeah i'm just kidding you say these like kind of sketchy things like yeah or like yeah you say like multiple words where you see it's probably gonna come

and then you're like please don't make me say that next word i did the last second it's like something else it's back to seattle or like you're like kind of whispering like 11 11 and like it's like like oh he must not be hearing it like screaming or something but anyway it was it was it was like a it was a funny experience where i'm just like what's going on here that's awesome that's fun i'm glad you have that experience thank you i hope your gets better thanks it's it's got i i texted esther my resident audiologist i was like esther please just hey like talk me off this ledge hey it's wonky yeah am i am i am i losing it forever it's like no you're hearing we'll come back it's just gonna take a while good yeah so

it was encouraging that's good uh this isn't much of a story i just need to say this just we love quinkydinks on this pod always have been pro quinkdink talk show and um i talked about the golf convention that i went to like two weeks ago as soon as i walked in the door some kid just was like oh what up jake we get a pick it just waters off like that was nuts as soon as we got when we got done recording the podcast last week i went straight for before i went to chick-fil-a i went to the driving range with isaac we stopped at quick trip i checked my dms later that night that same kid who saw me at the golf show was like dude i just saw you a quick trip oh was like, dude, I just saw you at Quick Trip.

I don't know. I'm thinking about him. It's like, man, maybe. I don't know. Maybe like Rachel's already decided my fruit for me, but maybe he'll decide my vegetables. I mean, maybe get them from the bottom part of the fridge. Yeah, really. Sliding scale.

Get my vegetables. Noah, what kind of vegetables do you like? Noah, what kind of veggies? Noah turned me on to these things. Best thing I've ever had in the world. Bell peppers. Broccoli. Yeah.

I believe I'm saying it right. I tell you what, those things are sweet. More vitamin C than oranges. Put enough salt on them. They taste pretty good. Anyway. Should we do some voice memos and wrap it up that way? Yes.

I have a few different things written down real quick. Okay, great. Just because I really tried hard to think about things here. Okay. Well, we got to record 24 hours. I just want to say that right now. We're going to talk about it later. No, no, no.

You can still say something. Let's talk about this one. Yeah, yeah. Tom Brady's on retiring. I think that's kind of crazy. We got to talk about today. Yeah, because that's coming out like in five minutes. We could finally be a topical podcast.

Yes. We could talk about something that's happening. Right. Tom Brady's coming out of retirement. I saw it on my drive home tonight. Were you surprised? Not really. I wasn't really either.

Even though I didn't text back. I'm sorry, the group. But I'm kind of with you. I was like, you just led the league in passing. Right. I mean, there's something to be said about going out on top. But he didn't go out on top. He didn't win the Super Bowl.

He didn't win the Super Bowl. So therefore, I don't consider that on top. And I think that's going to bother him if he doesn't go out winning. And the NFC is just so like, what's the word? Bad. at aaron rogers aaron rogers it's aaron rogers no wonder he came back for 200 million dollars yeah he plays against the lions it's like aaron rogers like maybe i'll go with the packers maybe i'll go with the broncos yeah i'm gonna go with the packers yeah like the whole nfc is just yeah bad yeah he gets played against the lions and bears four times a year yeah it's amazing, I'll take it.

So yeah, Brady's back. It's kind of exciting. And gives, so like Mahomes and Brady only met once in the Super Bowl ever. Exactly. And Mahomes lost. Right. So he was never going to get that chance again. Right. I hope he gets a chance to beat Brady for his legacy.

Yes. Because of course, like if Brady gets the Super Bowl again, that's amazing. Like that's like the story is going to be all about that. And it's like, watch this, Tom. Yeah. I'm going to beat you five times in a row. And now he's going to have to keep on retiring. The crazy thing is that I, I genuinely can't see, I know that it's obviously going to happen way sooner than we think, but I just have a hard, hard time imagining that Tom Brady or LeBron James will ever be physically incapable of playing anymore. Right. Like, like it just seems like they're going to last forever. Yeah. Even though,

you know, that's, they're, they're gonna last forever yeah even though you know that's they're they're gonna their bodies are gonna wear down eventually but tom brady's just so old for an athlete and just continuing to be just fine it's gonna take like a serious injury yeah maybe to actually be done probably that's what i've thought of before but yeah because they just seem so like genetic freaks and they take such a good care of themselves i'll tell you what's been annoying on twitter and i'm not even like a tom brady fan but I'm just defending him anyway, because people are like, yeah, he would announce this when the bracket gets announced. He's trying to overshadow March Madness. Oh, you don't think that's true? I think it's such a dumb take. Oh, I think it's totally right. No, it's because free agents,

free agency starts tomorrow. He needs to let his teammates know. Oh, I didn't realize that. Yeah. Like by tonight, like all these, Chris Godwin, is he going to hit free agency or is he going to resign? Gotcha. You know, they need to know that. I still, like all these, Chris Godwin, is he going to hit free agency? Or is he going to resign? Gotcha. He, you know, they need, they need to know that. I, I still, I still might, I still might believe in the, in the whole like timing thing though. Cause what happened? Why didn't you do it three days ago? You know, like. I don't know. Cause, cause like, yeah, it's like a pretty slow, somewhat slow, like couple,

next couple of days in sports. So it's like, what else are we going to talk about? Tom Brady, you know. I just saw people, cause he did, when he announces retirement the the first time something else was going on or i think it was just the nfl playoffs yeah like wow tom just can't handle not being in the news it's like i mean he's been in italy for two weeks it probably wasn't totally on his mind it was like right before the super bowl i think maybe i just i buy into that a lot like because often like teams will will like release things on like friday afternoon at. Oh, right. Because then like, yeah,

the sports talk radios aren't going to talk about it anymore. Like the cream hunt thing, whenever that came out for the chiefs that came out like Friday afternoon. Oh, so it's like, it is a bad news comes out. Yeah. It is a thing that like people definitely try to time it at certain points.

Like a lot of people will say that about like, Oh yeah, of course they're going to release this right before the super bowl. Like, and have them all talk about themselves. Like, but i don't know maybe it's not as extreme but like the fact that the media thinks that i think probably some players are being like confirming that like yeah that happens sometimes but i don't know either way i'm excited it's exciting it's just like yeah of course i like tom brady's one of the best i want to keep watching

the best yeah like i was like when he retired i I was like, no, don't do that. Yeah. You're so good. Yeah. And watching that man, the arena is so good. And it makes you like Tom Brady. He's like,

you make some more human than he was before. But anyway. Yeah. So I, I'm okay with it. Even though I don't like Tom Brady as a player, really, he plays my team cause he's too good.

It's, it's still amazing to watch him. So yeah. All right. The clock just struck midnight. It's still amazing to watch him. All right. The clock just struck midnight. Say midnight. Say the word midnight. Just kidding.

Say M. Night Shyamalan. M. Night Shyamalan. Okay, we got a voicemail from... This girl's name is Katrin. Sorry, I'm thinking of the office where he's like M. Night Shulman. M. Night Shulman. Go ahead. This is a wild name. Katrin.

Katrin. It's midnight. Hey, Jake and Brad. This is a wild name. K. Trim. K. Trim. It's midnight. Hey, Jake and Brad. This is K. Trim from Rhode Island. I'm a longtime ghostie and first-time memo-leaver. Just wanted to give a quick shout-out of appreciation for when you randomly quote School of Rock in the middle of conversations.

You guys have done it a few times over the years, and it makes me so happy when I get to unexpectedly hear about Yo-Yo Ma's cousin, Lil' Muppetits. On a recent episode, you mentioned not knowing the actor who plays Ned Schneebly. and it makes me so happy when I get to unexpectedly hear about Yo-Yo Ma's cousin, Lil' Muppet Tits. On a recent episode, you mentioned not knowing the actor who plays Ned Schneebly, and it's actually Mike White, and he wrote School of Rock. So there's your fun fact for today. And now on a completely unrelated topic, I'm getting married in September,

and we're trying to plan our honeymoon, and I could use your help deciding on where to go. So if you had to pick between the options of Costa Rica, Portugal, Croatia, or Greece, which would you go with? Costa Rica. Thanks, guys. No. I will see you cats on the flip-flop later. Nice. That was a school rock.

Nice. Katrin, definitely Costa Rica. That's a no-brainer. Really? Yeah. Why? Costa Rica. Do you know about those other places?

Not a ton. I mean, I haven't been to any of them. But from what I know, Costa Rica has a lot of variety. I mean, that's kind of like Hawaii of the, but from what I know, Costa Rica has a lot of variety. I mean, that's kind of a, like Hawaii of the central Americas. Okay. No one else is saying that. That's me saying that.

So sorry. I don't know about you. But I know that they have jungles. Yeah. They don't have snakes or rabies. West Nile. COVID, COVID,

COVID, COVID, COVID, COVID, COVID. I saw they have jungles and mountains and like a little desert and the ocean. Like they have a good variety of things you can do. And if I i was going somewhere i would love to go where you can do a bunch of different types of things adventurous things whereas croatia what i'm going to do eat soup

yeah what does croatia do they got they got mild food at best no i i have been to portugal and it is amazing it's beautiful portugal is probably a close second for me i i don't know anything about like greece myself my friend scott uh caldwell and his wife went to greece recently and it looked like a dream it looked awesome it looked really cool uh so i don't know enough about any of those places except i've been to portugal i've been to lisboa that's how they say it's lisbon to the americans uh lisboa cascais scott actually it. It's Lisbon to the Americans. Lisboa. Cascais.

Scott actually lived in Portugal for two years, so he could give you. Oh, Portugal. He lived in Porto. Porto. Porto. And Obrigado. That's all I know, Portuguese. But it was truly a beautiful, amazing place.

I don't know. I think it'd be fun to. If it's honeymoon, yeah, maybe go Greece.'d like greece the place you get a lot of good pictures in greece costa rica you have a lot of fun in costa rica and i'm saying like uh costa rica seems a little bit more attainable for the every year not not every year but like i feel like on a random year you could probably make it happen to go to costa rica it's a lot cheaper to go there than it is to greece seems like that would be true that's a good i don't know for sure and obviously you probably want to go to a cool spot in like a nice hotel or something, but yeah, if money is not a big factor. Yeah. Or time.

Cause I think sometimes like you don't get as much, like, like if you're going to go to Europe and you have, you know, 10 days or whatever, that's, that's awesome. Like, whereas Costa Rica, if you can do it, like if you only have five days, you can do that. Yeah. So I think there's a little bit of that to balance out too, but I really like portugal i don't know anything about any of the other ones i think of costa rica i think of a rainforest and like hot and muggy and portugal was just like perfect they probably got some state birds down there if i had to guess yeah in costa rica catron catron catron holy matron money good yep shulman rhode island shout out to rhode island yeah i'm going there in like a week and a

half are you really providence okay for a show i'm excited to see rhode island hopefully ku beats providence maybe if they play each other now go friars go friars next one hey jake and brad hey this is aubrey from manhattan kansas. And my husband and I are expecting our first baby due in June. We're having a little boy and we're super, super excited. Boy, baby. So my question for Brad is what is your best advice for a couple who is about to have their first child? Urination wigwam. And any tips you have for just surviving the newborn stage and all that.

And then I have a question for both of you. Yes. So I live in Manhattan. Oh, baby. And Brad, you might know, the gas station selection in Manhattan is not great. There is Fastlane. I'm from Wichita, and I always loved Quick Trip.

I feel like it's just the go-to, and no gas station compares to it. But I had a conversation with some friends recently where we were talking about if Quick Trip is a valid dinner option. And to me, it always has been because they have hot dogs, taquitos, all that. So I'm curious, what do you guys think of Quick Trip? Is it a valid meal option?

Valid. Thanks so much. Love the podcast. Bye. These are questions for Brad. I'm going to let Brad go on this one. All right. First and foremost, with the baby thing, I mean, I'm sure it's all going to be cliche,

but just don't go to be cliche, but, uh, just don't go to bed angry. No, sure. But, um, like the, the, the newborn phase is a phase. Okay. It's, it's going to be like, you're going to realize that sleep deprivation is a thing and you're going to have a hard time with that sometimes, but just, just be patient and just realize that it's not going to be like that forever. And it gets better. Just don't be that tired. Yeah. Just, just wake up and just be fine. Uh, one thing that Catherine and I really try hard is, uh, not like anything that we say in the middle of the night, we can't like take to the next day. So like, because we get so often like you get like, if you're sleep deprived and you

have a baby that just won't do what you want to do, it's very frustrating. Obviously it's like, please stop crying. It's like, how do you, and then of course, somebody is trying to say something to you. You're trying to talk over this crying baby. You can't hear very well. You get short with them. Like, what'd you say? Like, even, even if, even if you're just, even if you're not even trying to be mean about it, like you're just trying to literally talk loud enough to hear them. You shut your mouth. Hey, what did you say? Yeah. I can't hear you. Like that's the hardest thing to say without like being feisty. What did you genuinely, I did not hear you. What did you say?

No, no, no. I can't, I can't like, even if you like try to put like a term of endearment in there, it just sounds like a sarcastic, sweetie. I can't hear you. Sweet. I can't hear you, honey. I can't hear you, honey. Like stops, you know, like whatever.

And so just like whatever happens in the middle of the night just realize that that is not the true feelings it and just you can't you can't bring that to the next day so just like i'm gonna try that out now without having a kid hey whatever i say from noon to two let's not carry that in noon to two and then i have two hours if i can just say anything right just sorry that's just Brad said, that's my carte blanche right there. It's the purge. Yeah. So yeah, I think that's the main thing for newborn phase and just, just, I don't know. I mean, the first like couple of weeks is not that bad. Well, sometimes it is like the first couple of days they sleep so much as a newborn and they can sleep so easily. I don't know if I should say all this so generically,

but like, it's amazing how, like I could have my newborn baby right here with us and I could scream the jingle and the baby would sleep sometimes, which is, yeah. Whereas like, obviously when they're a year old, they can't do that anymore. Um, but beyond that, I don't know if I have like super deep, um, perspective or advice, but beyond just like, just realize it gets better when it's hard and just realize that it's, it's precious. Like you're not going to have that time again. So I always heard, I read somebody, there's a sports writer in Kansas city, Sam Mellinger, who talked about like how much he what's the word cherished, like changing his baby's diapers, because it's like such a, maybe I've talked about this already, but it's just like an intimate time

with just you and your baby, where it's just like an intimate time with just you and your baby where it's just like, the baby is just there looking at you and you just get like this opportunity to like, like see them and like talk to them. And like, he just had like that perspective rather than that I have to change this nasty diaper. So, um, and that is kind of a special time. Like when you think about it, like your parents have seen your butthole more than you have. Oh, a million more times. Yeah. I don't know if I've ever seen my own. Yeah. You set up some ears anyway okay so then so then she lives in manhattan so it's really interesting manhattan

so they have like 17 or 15 of these locations called daris fast lanes daris daris and the rumor has it that the owners of darrah's and the owner of quick trip, like have like this pact of like, we will not infringe on each other's territory. Oh. And so that's why there's no QTs in Manhattan. Huh? And yeah, it does stink. Like this, it's just a gas station. There's nothing special. There's no like hot grill, uh, QT. It just really depends on what you're constituting as a meal is valid. Uh, I don't, I don't think, I don't think that QT is a meal. I take it back.

They have pizzas. This is why I knew Brad didn't need me for this. He just argued against himself. So I don't think that the roller grill, like anything on the roller grill, that's not a meal. QT kitchen. That's a snack.

But then they got the QT kitchens at most of them nowadays where you could literally order a full pizza. Yeah, XL. That's a meal. Yeah. That's an absolute meal. But a pretzel plus a taquito plus a hot dog that's just a big snack for big daddy like i mean i could i

could call it my meal i could say like yeah i'm full but that's not that's not getting you there like you can do that and then not be hungry the rest of the three-hour road trip but as soon as you get to your destination it's like i need to eat dinner now like that wasn't dinner like they say did you guys eat already and you say i mean yeah we had this isn't it but no but they didn't say no yeah we definitely ate dinner it was valid it's validate dinner it was like yeah i ate enough calories to have dinner but yeah i drank a lot of soda right that held me over right enough prime uh but yeah no i i think that's that's my opinion on it you do you agree with all that i agree with all that yeah qt kitchen qt has great food but wawa on the other hand like i would consider what you can get all that? I agree with all that. Yeah, QT Kitchen. QT has great food, but Wawa, on the other hand,

like I would consider what you can get there. That's a valid meal. Yeah, you can definitely say, I ate Wawa. I ate a hoagie. Yeah, I got a hoagie there. Did I talk about that on the podcast when Rachel had me get everything bagel seasoning and it was so confusing

because it just said everything seasoning. I was like, why would I want everything? Right. Uh-huh. Turns out it's pretty good. It's very good. Pretty good. We have it at our house, just like everything? Right. Uh-huh. Turns out it's pretty good. It is very good. Pretty good. We have it at our house.

Just like in a bottle. That is awesome. From Trader Joe's. Get some for you next time you're there. Cool. Thanks. That's a fun question, Aubrey. Good luck with the baby.

We will be going through the newborn stage together. So it'll be fun. Cool. You guys can hang out. We'll do more voice memos tomorrow night for me and Brad and next week for you guys. Great. Brad would just like to end this episode with reviews of the week i was about to do it too uh yeah yeah do you have one yes this one is from my phone no cell phone for you huh no no no no no the username is that one ghosty the title says amazing my older sister first told me about your podcast a while

ago and ever since then i've loved it so much. Really? Yeah, that's what she says. Literally everything about the pod is perfect, and I recommend it to everyone. Not only is the humor amazing, but it's also been a really fun bonding experience for my sister and I to get to spend more time with each other. Thank you, Jake and Brad, for being you. And thanks for always brightening up my Monday mornings. You are welcome. That one, Ghosty. That one, Ghost up my Monday mornings. You are welcome. That one ghosty.

That one ghosty. All right. Chewy biscuits. Exclamation point. Oh, one said my only regret five stars. When I get asked about what my biggest regret in life is, I usually don't have an answer other than not asking for more sausage Chick-fil-A. Well, now I have a better answer. Not listening to ghost runners podcast sooner. I'm late to the party. Only started listening at around episode 93 or so, but man, this podcast is something special. I've been a fan of Trey for a while and I'm a Trey Cedia in Recti. Okay, I don't like Recti.

Why don't we say co-op? Oh, nice. He was like trying to figure it out one time. He's like the co-op, correct opinion. I think that's so good. Like if you could say like, I'm a part of the co-op. Anyway, I don't like Recti. R rect he just sounds like rectum i know it look it was there it was grandfathered in for me okay yeah just talk talk about it okay um trace the interact but now i can add ghosty to my podcast listener nickname resume uh when the dlgb she said try who

It's so funny. Like you could tell who's like, where in the podcast when they say try who, because it's like, we haven't banished that yet. I haven't been like, Hey guys, he's actually paying us money now. So we can't say that. Uh, when the DLGB podcast broke up, I didn't know what to do. had grown accustomed to hearing jake's melodious voice in my earbuds you're welcome melodious is such a thing that we say for jake she must have some distortion in her ear i remember that he would often talk about another podcast he did with a friend of his but i doubted it would be as good sorry it says dang i understand all i can say now is thank goodness for that fateful day when i had

no other podcast to turn to and decided to give Ghostrunners a chance. I just want that paragraph as like, that's what we've always aimed to be as a podcast. It's not the most popular. It's not the funniest, but it's a podcast when you have nothing else to listen to. I mean, if I am desperate, yeah, sure. I'll try it out. If I, I don't have internet, I can't watch a YouTube video. I don't have service to call someone, but for some reason, this one episode was downloaded. I guess I'll listen to it. Yes, it's better than silence. Maybe. It's slightly better than silence. That's the Ghost Runners podcast. Awesome. We did it. Thank you, Chewy. Chewy biscuits, little chiscuits. All right. I'm ready to go.

Cool. I have an idea I'm excited about. It's a weird one. This is kind of the ownership I was talking about. This is not a normal video. I want to make a video about like a second aid kit. Okay. So it's not your first aid kit. Yeah. It's not going to have gauze. It's not going to have band-aids. It make a video about like a second aid kit okay so it's not your

first aid kit yeah it's not gonna have gauze it's not gonna have band-aids it's gonna have like a warm grilled cheese okay which is which is nice second aid yeah it's like this isn't gonna help directly but like it might make you feel better i think it'd be funny to just get very like the more and more random and more ridiculous of like what comes in a second aid kit yeah i think that's great we should do like a little 60 second sketch for the tiktok or something love it be thinking second aid kit second aid kit um final thoughts i spent some quality time with my grandparents today and my grandma said something very poignant today i don't think she realized that she said it she was talking about like we were talking so and so and we were trying to make plans with them and i don't you know

with your grandpa's health i don't know if we can and you know when you get to our age if you say you're gonna do something you better do it now and I thought about that and I was like I think that's good for any age yes if you want to do something you better do it now because you're you're not promised anything sure you have no idea what is ahead of you or what might happen or what could happen to you so if you want to do something if you plan on doing something do it soon I like it yeah that's a good job, Grandma. That's good. Yeah. Can I do a couple ending thoughts as well?

Yeah. One of them is my brother-in-law, Sam, and his wife, Jackie, had their baby. So shout out to baby Benjamin. Hey, babes. They're ghosties. They listen. So shout out to you guys. Baby Ben.
