Okay? Hey, I don't want anybody to tell you otherwise, all right? Look, I know where this is going. You're going to ridicule her career. Let me get ahead of it and say it. Listen, counseling is important too, okay? Comedy is not the only thing that matters in this world, Jacob. Thank goodness you said that. You can have an honest career being a counselor as well, okay? is important too okay comedy's not the only thing that matters in this world jacob thank goodness

and without skipping a beat she just, I got shot in the head. I was like, that's a great answer. Really? I don't think that was one of his. Ask not what you can do for your country. Yeah. The only thing we have to fear is getting shot in the head. The only thing we have to fear is sniper rifles in Dallas.

Is that a good John F. Kennedy impersonation? But yeah, I thought that was so funny. And just like, she may not know any famous quote. I'm worried about her. Like if I were to ask Rachel, like, hey, what's that famous

Abraham Lincoln quote? Four score, and I'll attack you from the West if you are a racist. If you are a racist, I will attack you. Justin, put it in. If you are a racist, if you are a racist, I will attack you. Justin, put it in.

Yeah. It's like, what's the Abraham Lincoln. Yeah. And then, uh, you know, so great.

So, so crazy. So crazy. Yeah. Um, his was, I think it was a heat was so crazy. He,

Oh, big time. Who, what are the bigger? He's let me tell you. So great. Famous one was, um, let's get ready to rumble. That's right. Before he started kind of his writings.

That's right. Everyone started off with like either it's time or let's get ready to rumble. And it's like 15 L. So it's like, let's get ready to rumble. And you remember that, like, I took philosophy. You take philosophy in college? Of course. When you miss it.

You have to do the vision boards out of the magazine clippings, of course. That was my experience. That's exactly what you do in philosophy college, I'm sure. And there was that famous philosopher, Anonymias. Yes. Anonymias. That guy had so many quotes. Yes.

Or girl. I don't know. Oh, no. Oh, no. Oh, no. A. Anonymus. Anonymus.

Anonymus. Anonymus. What was your favorite one from them? The pennies. The pennies are the earned better than given. Yeah, because you get mouse cookie. Yeah. And Brad, tell you get mouse cookie. Yeah. And Brad, tell them your favorite.

There's lots of shoes for them. Tell them your favorite Martin Luther King Jr. quote. Stay out of Memphis. Uh-oh.

and um but um put that one in the standup. Come see me. Rachel, have you ever had like a flight canceled before? Does that make sense to you? Does that make sense to you for the standup?

You have. Okay. Cause I was thinking about like canceling, like different kinds of, let me just, I, in my notes, I have spirit airlines,

old photo, blackface. Does that, does that make any sense? or does that work for you or okay do the mom united would make more sense okay okay okay okay what if i throw in like united we stand as kind of a tag at the end yeah if i don't okay or you think just like the homeschool or stuff oh that reminds me someone came up when was it uh rachel and i were at messenger coffee this week really nice guy came up actually he didn't start off by saying he knew me from online or anything he goes you're

jake right i was like yeah what's up he goes i live in the house you used to live in too i was like that's fun is that public domain what's zillow throwing out there these days it was like hyde park one yeah it sounds like oh okay that makes more sense and he's like by the way i actually saw your stand-up comedy special really loved it loved all the homeschooler jokes those hit home i was like oh thank you man and i was like Really loved it. Loved all the homeschooler jokes. Those hit home. I was like, oh, thank you, man. And I was like, wait, I don't think I said any homeschooler jokes. He was like, I could just tell. You probably wanted to say some homeschooler jokes.

Sheltered kid. Did you say? Maybe you didn't say homeschool. I thought you did at one point. Either way. You would know. You edited for 18 hours. Totally get the sentiment, get the vibe.

But it didn't dawn on me until like an hour later. I was like, well. Dude, the sheltered kid's hot. It's, I video we post yeah actually jean shorts is hot our last four videos have been our best four videos in the past like two months jeans really i didn't know that for sure well what about the house hunting one house hunting's hot out of their like in their in their time okay you know like in the first day yeah whatever yeah tiktok three in a row we've had tiktok's finally popping off tiktok three in a row we've had tiktok's finally popping off tiktok's at peaks and valleys kind of social media yeah yeah she's hot and she's

cold she's yes and she's no we got we got in the 40s 50s thousands every single time so far so yeah we're doing all right yeah so what have you been up to um i've been up to a lot of like really really normal things like I was trying to find notes for this week of like what to talk about. And it's just been, uh, yeah, a lot of work and family. My sister came into town from Southwest Kansas. And so she stayed with us one night, uh, which is really fun because usually when my sister's in town, she stays with my parents, but my parents were gone in Alaska. And so my sister's like, can we stay with you? And it was so much fun because like, it's just different when you have somebody stay at your house

versus like they visit for, even if they come for four hours at a time, it's like way better if they're like staying there. So I just love, like, we got some really quality time with her and her kids for like a day and a half. And then they left. And like a day later, Catherine's,

like five people from catherine's family came and stayed wow and they've been here all week so needless to say i've been in the shop a lot you know i really have but it's not it's like completely coincidental but yeah catherine's sisters and then uh two of their kids and then catherine's mom have all been here so it's just been a full house which i i really like i think there's something about like the extroverted side of me. Like I like when people are around, but I don't always have to like interact with them. Like, like I was doing all my work in the shop and they were in the backyard just playing and stuff. That's great. And I really enjoyed it. Like, I was like, this is fun to like kind of have people, maybe they're watching me or maybe they're just around.

Like, I don't know. Maybe they're watching me work. Yeah. I think there's something to it. I've like me work yeah i think there's something to it i'm like i kind of like doing that so i think that's why sometimes i like going to a coffee shop because i'm like maybe somebody sees me on my computer and they think hey cool guy on his computer i don't really know i just i like i like the idea of like just being out in public and like having some accountability social accountability if someone walks by and they see i'm just looking at, you know, YouTube or something, they're gonna be thinking, this guy's not working. Having social accountability is very different than how you presented it, which was, hey, cool guy.

Hey, cool guy, why not you too? He's on his computer. Yeah. No, I'm serious. I hope your house continues to be a spot where people and your family come over. Cause it's a very cozy house. That's a house that I hope nieces and nephews like,

yeah, Brad and Catherine's house. It's where we spend Christmas Eve. Cause it's cozy, it's a very cozy house that's a house that i hope nieces and nephews like yeah brad and katherine's house i know like we spend christmas eve because it's cozy it's fun it could be the bethlehem of shawnee i like that yeah katherine uh just recently painted the front room of the basement always a project always a project brother but katherine just the next thing is i'm making lockers for like our you know where the bar used to be yeah putting the locker little mud room okay that's gonna be cute yeah it's gonna be nice it's gonna be functional you know, where the bar used to be, put in the locker, little mud room. That's going to be cute. Yeah. It's going to be nice. It's going to be functional, you know? But anyway, but it's really cozy downstairs now. Cause there's like kind of that front room that has a little like bed in it. And then there's also the other room that anyway, just great vibes. So

I asked Hattie, actually, I was like at dinner tonight, I was like, Hattie, what do you want me to say on the podcast about our week with Sloan? You know, her cousin. And she said she wanted to tell everybody that they went to Andy's one night. We made s'mores last night on the deck. Very fun. Saw Bo's chin was covered in marshmallow. Oh, my gosh. Oh, the Andy's thing was crazy, dude. Like so Andy's is frozen custard. And we all know frozen custard melts minus five seconds before you actually even get it in your hands. I don't know if I've noticed that it melts faster, but you're right. My Andy's is always slurpy.

The last half. All frozen custard. I think what I understand about frozen custard is that it actually like is never actually frozen or like never like it like comes out. You know how it comes down that it stays in like a goopy state. Yeah. Like and that's like as cold as it's ever been.

I don't think it was cold and it's already been made in the machine. It's like the opposite of Dippin' Dots. I believe so. Yeah. And so I actually went and picked up Annie's and brought it home. And I got the text from Catherine's sister. And they're like, let's just get three ice cream cones for the kids. And then we all want these things.

I was like, how am I supposed to carry three ice cream cones? No, yeah. Logistically, it can't happen. And so she's like, well, just get them in a cup or something. So we put them upside down in a cup. kids and then we all want these things i was like oh how am i supposed to carry no yeah logistically it can't happen and so she's like well just get them in a cup or something so we put them upside down in a cup still by the time i get home those things are they can't be re-coned by that point no and they tried the kids tried but i mean those kids eat cones at the snail space and so it's like i mean it's going everywhere it's soup it's brown soup and beau had a white shirt on white short like white and blue shorts

I was like Bo like I gotta take off your shirt and I take off my shirt and he goes shorts too and I said let's do it buddy and so he's in a diaper because we we gave up on potty training diaper and socks yeah I know who saw that coming we either gotta paint the basement or potty train Bo we can't do both one project at a time he repaints the carpet or i repaint the basement okay yeah exactly dude yeah so uh yeah bo's just living his best life with that thing you guys use bleach uh probably not i don't know like for like a white shirt like if it was stained would you bleach it i don't really want to get into that too much all right you go you go good go on i i get kind of frustrated at how

my stuff gets stained sometimes like my comfort color shirts like out of nowhere will just have like spots on them and i'm like well that shirt's ruined now huh and is it just residual bleach in the washer still i don't think it's bleach no it's not like that it's like a greasy looking spot like it's like darker than let me do your laundry okay i would love that i don't know if it's our machine or a detergent or whatever um so anyway all great things sorry i brought it up you go i don't want to talk about that because i don't want to like hate on my wife anything my wife does every single article of clothing for me in the laundry yeah yeah and so and and it's my it's it's on me to like if i do get like a intentional like a chocolate stain on my white shirt i should be the one to put whatever i'm supposed to put on there so i don't want to like, if I do get like an intentional, like a chocolate stain on my white shirt, I should be the one to put whatever I'm supposed to put on there. So I don't want to like have her listen and be like,

well, Brad, you didn't tell me you didn't put it on the stain list. Yeah. Like a list on your fridge. Yeah. So yeah, whatever.

I don't want to hate on her. Got it. Got it. Got it. He says, Andy's s'mores. They went on lots of walks. They played in the sprinkler and they played in a splash pad in our

backyard. How fun is that? What in a splash pad in our backyard. How fun is that? What's a splash pad? It's actually a new term that like a lot of like swimming pools now have like subdivision pools will have like a zero entry, which means like no steps down. It's just zero entry. No, just look at it. No one can actually go in.

Yeah. No entry. Yeah. Ever since 9-11. Don't blame us. Yeah. No, zero entry just means like you know like you would in a ocean or something where you just kind of walk into it rather than having

to like jump in or step no stairs no okay zero entry but it's like yeah so it's like a splash pad is just you know anything just fountains and stuff in that little like really shallow area i'm sure you've seen them and stuff so um and we have a little version of that at our house no way like good for you guys no it's like no no no it's like a kiddie pool that doesn't blow up all the way basically that sounds cool yeah um so anyway that's that's been the stuff with family oh did you see the video of us uh with the the all those jets flying over of course baby of course most patriotic thing i saw a week oh it was awesome i got home and like the first time it went they flew over my house they were so close i think

i could have you know touched up knocked you over yeah if it was uncle rico i could have hit him with a football uh but they they flew over and i was like that is so cool i want to get that on tape or video whatever i'm so old geez um and i was like i want to put on patreon because because back when the chiefs were in the afc championship all these flights great game to go to yeah i'm sure but all these all these planes like would would practice on saturday like when they're you know doing their flyover like we're on a flight path for whatever you're in a good location i guess so bathaham north star yeah and so i i was, I know they're going to do it again. And so I was getting ready to film it. And as I'm like,

and I'm like, like just having a casual conversation, like what's up patrons. You know, I'm here in my backyard. I was hanging out with my kids and Catherine and you know, I can hear, I can hear them.

I was like, okay, they're coming. I can hear it. And Catherine just goes, Brad, Brad, you're going to miss it.

And I stopped recording. I was like, I know, I know. I was trying to be like casual about it. And I stopped the recording. I was like, I know, I know. I was trying to be like casual about it and then just like sing right away. And so, yeah, that's funny. That's a good idea. It was going to be like, you know, I'm just hanging out, you know, that's funny. And so then the kids, one of the favorite things they do these days is like, they love getting in my truck and pretending to drive it. And so we were all, all three of us were in the truck and I was like, and, and Hattie and, or sorry, Catherine and Rosie were on the trampoline kind of a little bit

like far away, but still within earshot. And so I'm doing the same thing, trying to do it over again. And I'm like, yeah, you know, so we're just here hanging out in the truck. Like they're just doing, and Catherine goes, Brad, you're going to miss it again. And I, and I like, i i i still was like jokingly like frustrated i wasn't like truly mad at her but i go katherine i know something like that and i probably shouldn't even be talking about this podcast because she was legitimately upset like she was like because apparently because of these like planes flying over and being so cool some of our neighbors like the the smokers were out on their front lawn and so so Catherine, she's like, you were screaming at me with our neighbors right there. And they heard you saying that. Oh no. And so she like went inside and I was like, oh my God,

she gave you a big thumbs down. Oh, Brad, Brad. I don't mean to be too mean, but and so, I mean, just immediately, you know, we did that video 20s versus 30s marriage. Like I went inside immediately and I was just like, I'm sorry. I didn't mean to do that. I wasn't trying to hurt your feelings. I was just joking around. I suck. Please forgive me.

Yeah. Like just nip it in the bud as quickly as I can. People love that. You clearly hit the nail on the head with that. A lot of comments like love the honey. I'm sorry. I suck. I mean, there's something deeper there i think but yeah anyway so uh that was pretty funny because

katherine just i even like kind of lectured her of like no i was trying to do this video so what the idea is is that it's almost like i don't know they're coming to the right of her head yeah and then next time brad i can hear them it's like i i know and then after that it was like this isn't worth it anymore but then they kept coming by so i was like i gotta do it eventually so that's funny catherine sounds like like the worst person to take with you on like um like seeing a magic show or something just like blurting out like it was there and now now i don't see it wait where did it yeah yeah you don't think she actually sawed her in half do you how do they do how do you do that it's like i'm not gonna tell you fun fact katherine was actually sawed in half one time and i was there i witnessed it

did it make you jealous uh yeah because they were like do we have anybody under 125 pounds and i said no you said not yet. Wait till I start fasting. Yeah. Right. Can you imagine if I were 124 pounds? You would have, you would, I would not look well. It would. Yeah. Compassion International would sponsor you. Somebody would have to like go to my house and be like, is everything okay at home? Uh, how was the fast going? It's fine. Yeah. I'm getting pretty used to it, to be honest. I still have my coffee in the morning, so that's enough

for me. I don't hate it. Really? Just good. Eating from noon to 8? Noon to 8. I'll be honest, every once in a while, I fudge a little bit on that. The other day, I think at Trey's, we ordered Hawaiian Bros, and it came like 11 37

or something okay i'm not gonna wait 23 minutes to eat this thing we already waited a kind of a long time as it was by the time i got mine it was a little chilly oh no yeah that that day was i don't remember what time it was but like a week before that i see i see i see i see anyway um but yeah it's all it's all good i i've been i it. I've lost, you know, like 13 pounds. Whoa. So, I mean, lift that in your hand. I mean, that's a little hefty brick. I don't care where you put the 13 pound weight.

That's hefty. Yeah, so I'm getting there. 13. 13. That's all it takes. Just eating at different times. Well, I'm also eating differently. You are?

Okay, okay. I'm eating more protein and less sugar and not drinking pop as much. I think I've only drank pop like twice. Not bad. I'll be honest. I sipped your Dr. Pepper. How was it? I filled it up.

It was nice. It's a good batch. Yeah. But I messed up. I sipped the fizz, first of all. Okay. And so I was like, ah, that was a waste of some calories. Frigging fizz.

And then I waited until it went down. I sipped a little more and then I refilled it for you. So, um, yeah, man, everything's good. Uh, how are you doing? What's, what's, what's the latest? The latest is, um, been working on standup material a lot because I guess when this comes out this Thursday and Friday or this Friday and Saturday, I think we have shows we're back. we have shows. We're back. Oh, wow. We're in Virginia Beach. So earlier before the podcast,

when I was like, are you guys, are you going anywhere anytime soon? You're like, yeah, going somewhere in September. Yeah. So forgot about. OK, so yeah,

next week I'll be gone. You're going to the beach Thursday through like Sunday. OK, yeah. I forgot about that. Yeah. For the most part, I'm excited. Now, sorry.

Now, last time that i was doing comedy clubs i remember i started out i only had to do five minutes i was like i was gonna ask like what are you expecting to do now and this time it's 20 so that's a lot of like new stuff a lot of stuff to come up it's a lot of stuff that has not been tested yeah and um for the most part i feel okay about i don't think anything i'm not gonna stay on any one topic long enough for it to like really bomb. But yeah, I mean, still, it's a lot of jokes thrown in there. You're like, I hope this works.

What were you doing? Were you doing 20 on tour? Yeah. Okay. So at least, you know, you can like memorize that fine. And if nothing else, like the one thing as nice as we have not gone to Virginia Beach ever before. Yeah. You can always lean back.

So I could do the old stuff. Yeah. Even though the specials out, it's like, I mean, come on. Yeah. Not that many people have seen it in the grand scheme of things. So I'll probably close with jokes old stuff. Yeah. Even though the specials out, it's like, I mean, come on. Yeah. Not that many people have seen it. Yeah. In the grand scheme of things. So I'll probably close with jokes that work. Yeah. That I know work and maybe open with jokes at work.

Dude, how exciting though to do new jokes. I'm so excited, especially the comedy club environment. It's just like, it's so much more intimate. Yeah. It's so much more fun.

It's more fun. It's easier. Um, yeah, I'm just getting a lot of reps where I've ran out of four shows in two days and just like get a lot of practice. I'll know pretty quickly like what works and what doesn't. Yeah.

And so, yeah, it's just fun. Just been writing a ton and I'm more prepared than usual at this time, but I still have a lot to memorize. What goes into the writing process? Like, do you just sit there and just think about life or do you like try to have a strategy behind like, okay, let me think about, you know, things I do. And I don't know, like, how do you come up with things? Do you have any kind of. Yeah. I'd be interested to see how we're similar and how

we're different when it comes to like writing material because i feel like i never really shut my brain off when it comes to like writing on premises yeah premises for videos premises for jokes you kind of like just adjust the funnel like where is the funnel going right now um like today what did i have a idea for oh this was like a video idea i don't know if it'll be jean shorts of the girls channel, but like we could do each one. We could have like female photography school. I think that could be like a video idea

of like how girls take pictures themselves. They hip hop their arms. They like props, whatever. Or the girls could do a video on like boyfriend photography school. Because there's like a way that like Instagram boyfriends, they need to know how to.

It's like, sure, I could probably turn that into a bit. But that seems to make more sense for videos. There's other times you're writing stuff down and yeah, it's like my mom wouldn't let me, you know, take a shower and it was thunderstorming outside. That's an observation. It's like, maybe that's a stand up bit. So I'm always writing down premises and then it's like, all right, let's go write some

stand up. That means I'm going to a coffee shop and I'm looking over the notes that I've written down. I'm like, all right, what still seems funny? Yeah. You know, and try to expand on that yeah exactly like just random stuff um here's what's i just opened up new stand-up premises the note let's see it uh convincing a girl she farted literally gaslighting um that one i don't think it's gonna turn into anything

um that might be a good like uh i don't know know, a one to keep in the back for like a quick one liner. Like if something just naturally like works its way. Yeah. Out. Yeah. It's like, I don't think I can expand on that a ton. But yeah, if it comes up.

Yeah. I got something. Right. Like, what do you do? You are a gastro entomologist. Get a load of this. Talk about gaslighting. And then this next one came from a conversation I had with my dad a couple

weeks ago. You can't leave a bad review skydiving the, even if the bad ones, the furthest they get is having trouble opening the nice. Yeah. Um, that's, that's like a,

that's like a classic, like, yeah, that's funny. Um, that one, you could maybe expand on the idea of reviews i think is expandable yeah like when companies like we're gonna write a review on this like i don't want to homework

you know that feels wrong so so yeah you sit down and it's like all right what still seems funny to me what feels like i could get an entire bit out of this and honestly what i always end up coming back to i don't know why i try to come up with these like clever observations or anything it always just comes back to my own life that's the easiest stuff it's i think people can tell when you're making something up or just when it's like reality oh totally and so i'm going to talk about my childhood i'm going to talk about my speech impediment yeah you know and anyone who knows me will be like oh that's funny right like literally today i was uh i think i'm gonna do jokes on how i can't say rural very well i'm like why not like say on stage i'm gonna

have trouble saying it that's funny i'm gonna talk about my like christian college experience like that's just like a lot of material even if you haven't related to it i think i can like bring you into that world yeah and then do jokes about it yeah because there is a lot of um irony that happened i mean i've told the story the dean of students called me his office and told me i wasn't funny yeah uh the only c i've ever got was in social media marketing yeah you know and then the little joke i'm gonna do a little preview is like and someone else told me that like i would never i forgot what i wrote down like i would never visit the most beautiful city in the world and here i am and then they're like applaud or whatever i'm like and i've still never been you know you got to find a joke that um includes the city in it like last time i had it people

people love that yeah you got to write something for the local stuff oh yeah and i think what i'm most excited for the most like open-ended part of it is like i think it also is smart in my position to do to start with jokes about trey i think that warms people up to me i think it's like okay we get this guy you don't know me it's like oh cool he's one of them yeah okay well i don't know who he is but it sounds like okay i like trey he he worked with trey me like him yeah kind of thing so i think that makes sense and so what i'm going to do is kind of do some jokes like people ask what it's like to work with trey let me tell you what it's really like and do some jokes and then i think some crowd work i might do which i have no plan no route which is like i'm just gonna open it up anyone else have any questions about trey just see what i get and just try to make it funny

like what do you guys want to know no i like i like that for because this is this is what you should be doing these kind of shows is like more open-ended than that let's see let's see what happens yeah and if it goes poorly like okay that was two minutes like yeah it's like all right we've done okay you guys mainly just wanted to know about uh you know his wife and nothing about it i don't know or whatever it ends up becoming i'm sure i'm gonna learn a lot but that's great so for the most part just writing about my own life i'm gonna write about childhood i'm gonna write about high school i'm gonna write about college i'm gonna write about uh rachel you know it's just well i think yeah writing about yeah relatable things is just

it it's like it's it's it's what am i trying to say like you can be uh seven out of ten but if it's relatable it's it goes up to a nine out of ten in my opinion you know like seven out of ten funny it's like it doesn't have to be but you relate to that experience but it's like oh you do that i like if you could elbow someone next to you yeah exactly it's like i've literally done that that's you that's you like it's the real life version of tagging your friend in the comment section like they need to see this exactly whereas like okay this is ridiculous situation it's clearly not true but it's like pretty funny seven out of ten stays on seven because you haven't been there that's that's my theory i think other people don't believe that but i that's that i totally agree with that like and i think i'm trying to have

the perspective of like jake you're still so brand new in this in the grand scheme of things like don't try to be you know jim gaffigan yet don't try to be jerry sandoval just like write what's easy for you to write you know you can make them laugh don't try to do anything too much and yeah 10 years from now yeah maybe you can have something more to say, or you can talk on whatever pop culture more or whatever. But just look at Jean Schwartz and the, the, uh, success that we have, like the videos that we do best are like very easy for us to write conservative dad, sheltered kid. Yeah. Boom. It's like, okay. Yeah. Very easy to like, know exactly what to say for this. Whereas like union worker didn't do great.

It's a fun character, but it's like, I don't really know what they say. I'm just making stuff up here. Union worker. So anyway. Yeah, that's great. I was golfing with a guy yesterday. I got randomly paired up with him and he was asking me. No, Dustin.

Okay. Dustin and his stepson. Caden Hayden Hayden Hayden i think okay and anyway he was asking he's like how do you guys like like how do you come up with like you guys make a video like moms when it's back to school he's like how do you know like how do you how do you do that and i was like that's a good question i don't know if anyone's ever asked that i was like i think i was like i'm not trying to i was like i don't think if anyone's ever asked that. I was like, I think I was like, I'm not trying to say, I don't think Trey and I were really that special. I think humans in general are constantly observing things and it might be

subconscious or not. And if you have a job where it's like, make light of this, I think you can come. I think you could fill in the blanks. I think you can safely assume probably what happens. I think you can like, as much as we scroll and we see tweets and we see memes,

I think you do kind of know what happens a little bit. Yeah. Yeah. And I, I was kind of surprised when we first started writing that like trey will google stuff sometimes like google that's true too sometimes or like watch somebody else's video and like kind of being not he doesn't copy it but he's like inspired by like okay that's true you know whatever and it's like okay well that you know it's not like it's just like all in our heads and like we always just like know everything it's like, okay, well that, you know, it's not like, it's just like all in our heads. And like, we always just like know everything. It's like, okay, let's, let's search what the five most popular clothing brands are, you know, or whatever. Totally. So, yeah. But yeah, that is it. Yeah, it's true. Sure. Uh, yeah. Anyway. Um, but golfing with those two yesterday was kind of fun because I think on hole two,

they asked me what I did for a living, told him I make videos, whatever. And then hole three, um, they asked me, I'm trying to remember how it went because I thought it was so fascinating. It was like they kind of knew who I was, but it wasn't until they described you that it like it pieced together for them who I was. So it was fascinating because I am standing six feet from them and they're not sure who I am. But once they described what you look like, you're like, he's a, you know, blonde haired,

bigger guy. I was like, he's blonde haired, super intermittent fasting guy. I don't know about blonde hair. Just lost 13 pounds guy. I mean, lucky number 13 blonde hair and selling lockers in his family room guy. Anyway, I thought it was fascinating that blonde hair owns his own splash pad. Let's see. Blonde hair.

Very familiar with Martin Luther King Jr.'s quotes. Blonde hair. Yeah. Gives his family free air and bees kind of air bit bigger guy. That's not. Yeah. What's it like to trade crypto on Kraken? Let's say I'm in a state-of-the-art gym

The only way we go home is together. From new season now streaming exclusively on Paramount+. Anyway, something about like, I think my takeaway from that was like, this is gonna be a weird like comparison, but like Ninja the gamer, I think what helped him get so popular is that he had blue hair. Oh yeah. Sometimes I think you need just like characteristics.

I'm standing right there in front of him and he's like, I don't know if this is the guy. Well, that's funny you say that because I think so often, like Jake gets recognized all the time. I don't get recognized. I think it's because Jake has like this awesome hair that's like flying up.

Oh yeah. Let's get it higher. Let's get it higher. I think so. And whereas I'm like this awesome hair that's like flying up oh yeah like i don't feel it higher let's get it i think so and whereas i'm like often when i'm in public i have not put anything in my hair i am in like a you know paint stained shirt athletic shorts like no one's taking a double look at that your hoodie looks like ninja your face doesn't have a ninja look yeah so but that's funny that like you think that i thought the opposite yeah i don't know could be wrong the midwest is just full of just tubbo so i think i'm just one in the same um anyway it was fun and of course that's awesome his uh kid step kid hayden is like 14 and so just i think i was like the first youtubers ever met so

i thought it was cool. And what was really fun, cause he wasn't really golfing. He was kind of just chilling on the cart. And without Phil, I mean, it felt like every five minutes he'd yell something out that he found out about me.

You know, I get down with the pot and he's like, dude, you've been on Ellen. I'm like, yeah, yeah. 10 minutes go by.

Whoa, this is, you dropped all these limes and Walmart. I'm like, Oh yeah, that's a good video. 10 minutes go by what was you pet a kangaroo you're like oh yeah that was an australian dive yeah he just

found all sorts of stuff actually the first thing he ever found he goes dude you proposed out of a helicopter and that one actually threw me i was like what i was like oh no that was way i was like don't go to my youtube channel don't get up get off of there you got it don't go to triple jake's youtube channel guys okay there's i was like that was like way back in the day shout out dim check though i just filmed a proposal but yes that was really fun just like constantly and um his dad was like he pulled me aside like hey i don't want to be rude but can we get a picture i was like dude of course you can get anything you want i don't care we're out here for three hours together i'm gonna say no to a photo right yeah of course so it was fun that's awesome um speaking of fans and friends

i feel the need to uh correct myself from last week we were talking about vander goons goons yeah uh we said his name was alex his name is definitely not alex yeah i felt like such a tool and i thought it's not alex at all not even close it's not yeah it's it's mat Alex at all. Not even close. It's not. Yeah. It's, it's Matthew, Matt. And so sorry to goons, man. Like he's like, dude,

my name is not Alex, but thanks anyway, man. And I was like, Oh my gosh, I blamed you on the, I commented back. I was like,

Jake, Jake said it was Alex. I just went with it. Yeah. I think I was like, yeah, that sounds right. Yeah.

Yeah. I mean, you're the one who spent a couple hours with him, but yeah, yeah, that sounds right. Exactly. So sorry to goons, uh, two episodes in a row though. the one who spent a couple hours with him. Yeah, yeah. That sounds right. Exactly. So sorry to goons.

Two episodes in a row, though. Shout out to goons. Goons. Goons, goons, goons. Can I tell you a story about Peter? Tell me a story about it. Dude, today, Peter and I were texting, which is cool when this happens. We have been texting all morning and then he walked into Summer Moon.

It was like, dude. Yeah, it's awesome. And then the classic Peter, he's in there for i'm not exaggerating six minutes and he is he leaves he comes in saying like yeah i came in to get some work done like great and then he leaves at six minutes like computer died i was like dude dude peter peter is awesome and just laughs the whole time he's like ah computer died classic yeah you know it goes it just leaves like okay so yeah so peter is first of all one of the greatest dudes ever yeah uh like really wanted to name beau peter

initially like because i just love peter so much and peter corning and anyway um but peter is the president of k life right now did you know that president yeah he's like so i'm on the board captain's on the board peter is the president of the president, Peter. Wow. So I don't know what he walked in like with his computer at summer moon, but he had his computer and he had a stack probably of a hundred pieces of paper worth of like different printouts to pass out.

And he had just shut his computer on the a hundred pieces of paper. So I don't know. I don't know if he was doing that at summer moon but i mean it was like you know like it's it is 85 at most close like it's like not even not even close like is that easier to carry out it can't be there's no way that's good for your computer put the papers on just close your laptop fully put it on top yeah yeah have it like one big binder clip maybe or something like oh it was it was it was killing me um that's just peter for it right like yeah yeah it's like there's an easy way to do it but there's something so lovable about this yes like yeah for a while i know that he lost his

phone so he was only able to text on his computer yeah so like he was like hey man sorry i didn't get back to you for eight hours i can only see this on my computer yeah um anyway just super lovable uh he told me a story. Has he told you about the road rage story? No, I don't think so. So just picture it with me because I think it was so funny. I'll try to do it justice. But essentially, he's driving down, what is that?

Ward Parkway, whatever that street is. Love Ward Parkway. By the K-Life house and it kind of like dips around by McGonagall's and like kind of like forks into something. Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah. Ward Parkway Plaza or whatever that is. Yeah. Yeah.

Yeah. Um, so he's doing that. I think, you know, one lane is about to end. I think the right lane needs to merge or whatever. And somebody was coming up on his tail while somebody else was like

going in, in front of them. I believe this is the details. And so Peter, Peter basically pulled a Scott and got really mad at this guy. And like, like, like laid on the horn,

honked at him. And then like, like went up next to him and like, was like, kind of like looking at him getting mad or whatever. And then he said, uh, like, and the guy was like getting pretty mad back. And then they stopped at a stoplight and the guy gets out of his car and like walks over to Peter's driver's side door. And Peter like locked the door really quick. And the guy tried to like open the door. Oh, if it were unlocked,

he would have opened that door. And Peter said, the guy was just yelling, you know, every expletive you can imagine. And Peter said, I just put my hands on the steering wheel and just stared straight ahead and waited for that thing to turn.

Oh, isn't that amazing? Just imagine this guy be like, listen, you, you know, and Peter's just like just staring

straight ahead. Peter's acting like he's just listening to the radio. I texted him like, like he told me that on Sunday afternoon. I texted him Monday,

like just laughing out loud, replaying that story in my head. He's like, that was genuinely one of the scariest like moments of my entire life.

I thought I was going to die. And so anyway, I just love the idea of Peter. I mean, Peter's the same one that we told, like, you know, use the water bottle to get gas that one time. I mean, Peter's just, Peter is like Isaac, I think, growing up a little bit. Yeah. You know, like Peter hustles super hard for, you know, like he's, he like knows so much about reselling things on eBay. Like I see, like, I see that in Isaac's future. Yeah, totally. Yeah. So he's, he like knows so much about reselling things on eBay. Like I see like, I see that in Isaac's future. Yeah, totally. Yeah. So he's a savvy guy. I love talking to Peter about like investment properties. He was like, he's educated me on all this stuff. And be at the same time he's, he refuses to use a phone case. Would you think, Oh, good for him.

He probably takes good care of it. He keeps dropping his phone and he breaks it and he keeps having to get a new phone. And then he doesn't put a case on that and he drops that. Always get like an iPhone, you know you know seven something that you forgot exists like iphone xrc you're like they used to make them that small yeah what is that there's something with buttons that you haven't seen in a while yeah i was like oh yeah the home button oh wow did you have to like specially order that charger dude like what is that thing uh yeah he texted all of us like a week ago i was like hey guys just learned another lesson on why you need phone cases um does anyone have an old iphone laying around oh man and that so that's what makes sorry that whole just full circle with the uh computer thing because

that's just so funny like yeah of course his computer his computer was probably fully charged when he got in there it's just so old honestly yeah i told that story just like does not take great care of it he's smushing papers in there. I told Rachel that story. She's like, oh, well, you should have given me your charger. And I was like, his laptop was so thick. Yeah. Did it look like a MacBook?

It was silver like a MacBook, but it was the thickness of like the first computer ever. Are you sure it was thick? It was. Or was there something in there, Jake? It could have been. He had some loose leaves. He had a phone book smashed in it. Yeah.

Yeah. That's so funny that President of K-Life is like honking at somebody. Oh, yeah. And then just like Stone Cold, he just stared straight ahead. Oh, man. It was great. That is scary. Yeah. I mean, yeah.

Everybody's an alpha when it comes to honking. But when someone else gets out of their car, oh, that's not the type of person you want to mess with. No way. No way. No. And the fact that he tried to open his door. That shows that he's not all bark. Like this guy was willing to like do some way. No. And the fact that he tried to open his door. That shows that he's not all bark.

Like this guy was willing to like do some stuff. Yeah. He wasn't just going to like stand in front of a car, like yell at him for a while, intimidate him. He's like, no, I'm coming. What do you think it is about the road and about driving that gets people so riled up? Well, let's first, first and foremost, be clear that it wasn't just any road. It was a road in Missouri.

Just right on the Eastern side of the state line. Objection. Unrelated. Objection. Unrelated. Objection. There's no road rage that ever happens in Kansas. I'm sure that's true. I don't know. I think it's just there's something about like

I've gotten frustrated recently. I feel like people have been driving crazy around me. Don't give me that. That's whatever. Just that everyone thinks their town is the worst drivers. Everyone thinks. No, I don't. No, I don't usually think that.

I feel like the last week, though, I thought that full moon probably maybe just add up all these things. Summer people are getting antsy. They're getting aggravated. Mercury retrograde. 90 degrees again. Temperature in band. Excuse me.

I don't know. 90 degrees. Trying to make a joke. Nick Lachey. Nick Lachey. So I don't know what it is. It's just it was just. Yeah, I feel like people, and maybe it's just me driving like six miles an hour slower than I realized. Like I've never looked at my speed. I just kind of drive good

for you. You know, that's how they teach it. Hey, 10 and two and just straight ahead. No matter what, don't look at the speedometer, no matter what on the highway, it's like, maybe I was going 62 instead of 68. And so therefore it seems like everyone's driving crazy around me. don't know anyway you want to know who also reminds me of peter just real quick rachel just texted me first of all she said crud shout out to shelter kid crud i think i left my purse at summer moon this girl is leaving things everywhere consistently especially a purse oh nothing is off limits with her there is nothing that is valuable enough for her to not leave it behind so she text it's 10 o'clock right now when did you leave summer moon 6 30 um no 7 she left when it closed at 8 p.m so it took her two hours two hours yeah to realize oh crud oh so

you guys didn't even drive together no we drove separate where are her keys that's what i that's that who knows it's like yeah yeah you leave your credit card but not your wallet i don't know anyway who knows that's great yeah she's she's i think i think there's something just so innately like there's yin and yangs in every relationship and they're not always the same but like usually one person's you know organized one person's a little more you know flighty you know one person more spontaneous one person's more like you know let's have a plan you know yeah and i would rather have it this way where she is very like socially aware very observant very like intelligent when it comes to like life and you know social situations and just a little ditzy when it comes to like belongings yeah that's way better and to be fair rachel i

i think i've said this on the podcast probably 50 percent of the time when i leave uh the house to leave like to go somewhere i have to come back in and get my keys smart people can still leave things behind yeah look at the left behind series jerry leahy jerry b jenkins those uh tim leahy yeah no those are the authors jerry b jenkins for sure my dad will know. Steve? Buck. Can we call him? Kirk Cameron. Raymond Steele. Keep going. Chloe.

Okay, one more. That's it. Come on. Nikolai Karpathia. There we go. What is that? He was the Antichrist. Doesn't he just sound like a villain? Is that the guy's name?

The character's name? That was the character's name. Okay. Nikolai Karpathia. Karpathia. Karpathia. I think Karpathia was the ship that took off around the same time Titanic did too. Carpathia.

I'm trying to think of a pun and I can't think of one. Carpathia. Peter was upset because the car was on the wrong car path. Let's move on. The flight was canceled. I volunteered at Bo's classroom, the nursery Sunday school on Sunday Jeez, sorry

So there I am So just imagine this with me You drive around and come What's the deal with nurseries? It was a classroom It was a school on Sunday And then I said The premise takes five tries to get to It was his school on Sunday. And then I said...

The premise takes five tries to get to. What's the deal with airlines? I mean, the hallway or the turtle. What's the deal with the security? The Tia, why did they make the whole plate out of the airline food? What do you think? I know that Kyle Mooney, I guess, has kind of already done this, but what do you think about the idea of doing stand-up,

but purposely being really bad? Dude, I love the idea. I could never do it. I don't have it in me to do it. I can't like, I couldn't commit to it long enough for people to realize, oh, he's trying to do this. It'd be hard to break that. Like once you get a reputation for it, it's like this guy's great. But like for the longest time, people are going to be like, this guy is bad. And I feel uncomfortable right now. It would have to be a thing. You know, what would help is like, if I knew it was filmed, it's like, okay okay even if this flops in person yeah we can caption it later with like trying my absolute worst at stand-up comedy and then it could maybe be funny that's a fun we should do that for like uh just for fun sometime go to to an open mic night and

do it you want to maybe it still sounds intimidating okay okay if anything else if anything else let's get all our friends together and i'll go and do it i would like to do it i think that sounds i would be i would be uncontrollable i would be laughing so hard if you were up there legitimately bombing on purpose oh my gosh i don't know if there's anything funny i know that's so funny i know and so like if i could actually do that like that's so funny to imagine i know anyway who Anyway. Who is the... I was thinking the other day. Who's the first guy to invent shorts? Is he like, let's cut these pants in half? You guys know...

You have shorts? Shorts. Guy in the front knows what I'm talking. Shorts. The shorts. Short. Shorts. Shorts.

So anyway. That's... We're... shorts shorts uh so anyway that's we're zippers on shorts right it's it's hard to even do honestly like it takes some practice i think you gotta have a punch line but it just can't be good at all yeah then i was like that's not shorts that's just that's just a sewing kit put with thread together. You see, the U.S. government gave $4 billion to fund the war against Russia overseas. I think we should have just given them a big banner that said, Ukraine, do it yourself. Am I right? yourself am I right or am I right this guy knows what I'm talking about this guy hates you know I'm talking about Boris hold on this guy

is giving me the thumbs oh it's a middle finger whoa wait it's it okay big thumb yeah I think that'd be so funny just just absolutely like struggle up there. You're right. Because, because like, especially if other people don't aren't in on the joke.

Great. Let me just, oh, the silence makes it funnier. The, the, the, just the awkwardness. They would go home telling their friends about the confidence this guy had. Yeah. Like it was silent and he didn't even care. He sat in it. The crazy thing is that there's so many people that suck on accident that go.

Like it's like so bad. And maybe they're all trying to do it and we just don't know. I guess it's possible. Maybe after every single person that goes on open mic that I'll go up to and be like, hey man, just out of curiosity, was that supposed to be bad

or are you just not good at this? No, you don't even ask. You just assume like, hey dude, I love the bit you're doing where you're like a bad stand-up comedian can you can you kind of teach me some of that keep doing it people are gonna catch on yeah how do you how do you like how do you like really make it so nobody laughs like like people weren't even laughing at how bad it was it was just like you were in the perfect sweet spot like a bad you know they say a bad advertisement where

it's like you know people don't remember it yeah Yeah. You did. You captured that. Yeah. How'd you do that? Like you're like that one advertisement. It's like. Well, I can't even remember it. It was so neutrally bad. You know, you nailed it. You're like, yeah. What was your name?

I don't even remember. I'm not gonna remember your face at the end. I'm not going to recognize you in public. You don't have high enough hair. So I got to get my hair high again. Yeah, dude. Get it up there. We did a 90s video this week and we changed our hair that is literally all we did to make ourselves be in the 90s yeah

we didn't know we were gonna shoot it that day so it could have been better it could have been way better but that's the thing that everyone loved the chick-fil-a video and we basically showed up there without a script you know and people loved it so much it's like man we could have done so much better with that too but so true it's kind of the nature of what we do though i think and it's kind of a double-edged sword sometimes you wish like it could have been better but other times it's like hey we're already on to the next you know if a video flops it's all good we're on to the next i hope the 90s one it's like i don't even know what to really call it because we did stuff from the 90s and 2000s it was like if you

grew up in the 90s this video will be relatable but not necessarily everything occurred in the 90s right because like my sisters i feel like grew up in the 90s but they were born in you know early 80s but i'm like they're gonna get some of these but other ones are gonna be like i don't know what that means yeah you know it's like it's like perfectly like contoured to our age people but i anyway i think it's it's gonna bring back a lot of nostalgia like there's just parts where we're just like literally just sitting there like just naming things can i get some fruit by the foot you know like just over like yeah are these your yugioh cards you know just anything we can think of yeah yeah hey what number is ray langford what else do we have who's popping extreme is this right yeah we watched the uh chicago bulls

theme or uh intro you know any anyway all these fun things so i i think it'll be at least a little bit of a blast from the past but i think it'll be like the adult wins video it's like this brought back a lot yeah this was fun yeah so um we'll see how it goes but yeah literally all we did was like do our hair differently like that's that's how we look look you just stop. In a world. Copyright. Frick.

I was getting into it. No, no, no. We'll come back to it. We'll come back to it. Just a little bit at a time. Okay, okay, okay. I can't wait to punch when it, when the, when that guitar chord is. Just a little bit at a time.

Okay. Fun 90s video though. So the thing that started this whole tangent was that I was helping out in Bo's Sunday school class. Okay. Got it. Catherine was not feeling great. So it was just me in there.

I mean, but it has to be two people. So it's me and like the children's director basically at the hell um and you know so it's bo's age kids so like anywhere from like one and a half to two and a half 20s 20s kids will know yeah exactly yeah um and there's this one kid specifically we've helped out this class we help out probably once every month or so uh this kid every single time when he gets dropped off just cries and is sad and every once in a while kind of gets dropped off, just cries and is sad. And every once in a while kind of gets better, but like mainly cries the whole time

because his parents are gone. Been there, buddy. Yeah. And Hattie was pretty bad back in the day too. So I always am like- Probably got good parents. Yeah, exactly. He really loves his mom.

But, you know, there was probably like, I think there were seven kids total. There was like five boys, two girls. And the boys were all really fun. And so we were all like kind of throwing this ball around playing catch basically you know whatever mainly just throwing it at their chest they hit it and then they run away and get it but um and uh so so this kid we'll call him what's his name alan we'll call him alan um so alan you know he's crying like intermittently the whole time the way i fast he cries got it and he is just struggling finally kind of gets over i was like alan you want to come play catch with us

like he's just been kind of over off to the side like crying and he's like you know kind of sniffling and comes closer and uh beau had the ball i was like beau it's your turn to throw it can you throw it to alan beau runs i like just so, runs up within 18 inches of Allen, brings his, he's a southpaw, brings his left arm back, chucks it and nails Allen in the face. Welcome to Sunday school, Allen. You think Allen was, was fine before he's crying now. So he's just right back into it. And it was just, it was one of those things where, you know, Bo had no intention to hurt him, but at the same time, doesn't understand that like some,

you don't have to be right next to somebody to throw it. Cause that's, that's how he throws it to me. So often he just runs right after he throws it. You know what I'm imagining? Andrew Thurber Bush is probably going to like Photoshop this and make it into a video. Bo is Randy Johnson.

Alan's head is that bird. She's nailed the bird. I like the idea of it being like a Billy Madison where he's like, now you're all in big, big trouble. That's great too. Yeah. I'm sure there's all sorts of things that Bo could do there, but I guess he's kind of taking after his dad with the Sundance thing where

he's just helping people right in the face. Get him Sundance. Bo's like, okay. Okay. Welcome to Sundance. Hey Alan, your your parents home nobody's home upstairs boom your parents home dude i listened back to that i was so uncomfortable i was like golly i was trying so hard to be like this kind like good well-intentioned person instead it seemed like i was the next person on to catch a predator it is too bad that you yelled it loud enough where like ring doorbell cameras definitely could hear pick up the audio of like you know uh blonde man

yeah asked um are your parents home picked it up just fine on the audio right blonde man here we go ready here it goes oh no no you missed it you didn't miss it it's still coming okay it's gonna come quick it's gonna come quick so you better give me like a quick like right before you press it i gotta get ready dude dude that was a legitimate oh no dude we had your toy just got taken i was so upset we we had uh so there's obviously there's a lot of a lot of talk about jock jams on this podcast we had the cd called jock rock okay there's jo lot of talk about jock jams on this podcast. We had the CD called Jock Rock. OK, there's jock jams and jock rock. OK, first song on jock rock.

Guess what it was? Serious by Alan Parsons. Probably Alan Parsons. Oh, my gosh, dude. I listen to it all the time. Did you really? Oh, dude, I loved it. I didn't even know there was like the Chicago Bulls.

You loved it for what it was. I thought it was really cool. Good for you. You got good taste. Yeah, dude. I could tell you a lot of those songs on the album. But like, because Jock James was way more like hip hop. This was more Jock Rock.

So it was like, you know, ACDC, Kiss, you know. Great Balls of Fire. Like stadium songs, kind of. Kind of. But then they also had Lowrider and Wooly Bully. Do you know that one? I don't know Wooly Bully. There it is.

I feel like Wooly Bully and Lowrider are both baseball songs. So maybe they were just covering their bases. Oh, there you go. And had like songs for every sport. Yeah, anyway, it was awesome. I think MVP Baseball 05 had Lowrider on the soundtrack really yeah that's awesome dude uh anyway so okay bow bow through a ball at somebody's face it's too bad bow it's too bad he'll learn though that's gonna come in later lefty pitcher i mean even if he can get mid 80s i mean that's a d2 that's great he's a true lefty too good you're not gonna force it

no he's doing everything left-handed and i love it You're not going to force it. No, he's doing everything left handed and I love it. Good. Keep it that way. Cause I tried to do that with Hattie. I was like, put, put that fork in your left hand. See how that feels.

Nah, it didn't happen. So she got Catherine's Catherine's right handedness. Uh, I have a followup for, uh, last week when I talked about the phone number thing, phone number thing,

uh, how I just was like nine, one, three, five, four, nine, Oh yeah.

For the record, I didn't do it that fast. I would, I would would i would you were kind of putting me to the test 549-0159 and anyway uh been been still going getting my dole whips and uh uh this just today i actually went and got one and the uh hawaiian bros person was like are you a part of the rewards member you know whatever i was like yes i am and they, okay, what's that phone number? And she was so excited. I go nine one three. She goes, yeah, I'm not even joking. And then I go, you know, whatever. I five, four, nine. Oh yeah. Oh one five nine. Yep. Okay. Pull ahead. Like it was like, she was so enthusiastic about it. So maybe there's a, you know, a benefit to going a little bit slower. Yeah, that's fun.

That's a good follow up. Yeah. Hawaiian bros reminded me. We went and played pickleball. Me and Rachel went with like Garrett Gibson, Johnny. Turns out he proposed that night. Had no idea, Johnny. What?

Yeah. That night? Yeah. We were playing pickleball that morning and engaging by night. Cup to cup ring by spring. Anyway, fun day pickleball. After that morning of playing, we all went to Hawaiian bros. Oh, yeah. And yeah. Oh to cup. Ring by spring. Anyway, fun day at Pigwall. After that morning of playing, we all went to Hawaiian Bros. Oh, yeah.

Yeah? Oh, yeah. Oh, yeah. And Rachel just really been cracking me up lately. So if you've been in Hawaiian Bros, it's definitely a Hawaiian vibe. There's usually kind of Hawaiian music going. We're sitting in there. We're waiting to get our food.

There's a little bit of a silence among the eight people in there. And Rachel's kind of rocking back and forth in her chair like this. And she goes, anybody go through a ukulele phase like expecting everyone to like jump in like yes oh of course who did it it was just it's eighth grade it was silent dude she's like nobody and we're like no tell us about yours really not after seeing 50 first dates and then just getting really inspired by the Hawaiian spirit? Really? Drew Barrymore, Adam Sandler.

Okay. Pretty good movie. Somewhere Over the Rainbow by Israel Kamaukabalake. Nobody? Okay. Just me? Yeah, that was so great. It's like, I think I know what they're all thinking.

Let's go ahead. Yeah. Elephant in the room, which is funny because it's so tiny. Who's into ukuleles? Any ukuleles among us? Any ukuleles in the room, which is funny because it's so tiny. Who's in the ukulele? Any ukuleles among us? Any ukuleles in the house, Peyton, over there? Ukuleles. That's funny, but no, it was great.

But yeah, I loved when someone, back to the phone number thing, what they posted on the Facebook page about the King of Kuwait. That was a great scene. I'd never seen that before. I hadn't either. I laughed out loud. It was so funny. I watched it this morning in Panera and I laughed out loud.

You love Nara. I do, dude. Yeah. Because it gives me the free coffee every morning you know this no well i pay eight dollars a month okay well now you gotta yeah you see the yuzu yeah you peek at it yeah it's wow i sent you a video of it did you really remember it was like last week after we recorded i just scrolled on over to the yuzu j Jake, you're missing some of my stuff. Did I reply? No, you didn't. Well, I legitimately don't think I saw it then. Maybe you didn't.

Maybe you didn't send. I don't know. But we've tried to FaceTime you multiple times. I never get it. Bo just randomly as we're driving a lot of times. Mr. Jake, FaceTime Mr. Jake. And I'm always like, because he's also into Jake, you know, worker man Jake. Yeah.

So I'm always like, Jake, like, which and how he like like helps me like translate she's such a funny like like intermediary for us that's awesome bo do you want the jake from the podcast or the jake from the wood shop podcast you know and so we facetime you and every time you haven't answered and i which i'm so curious if you do i don't think he'll say a word to you i think he'll be very stoic so that's why i'm so curious why he wants to talk to you all the time let's make it happen i don't know i i legit because i believe i trust technology it's not like i guess it just didn't go through it's like it had to have gone through but i have i have technology wrapped around my arm like it i should know about this yeah i have my phone in my pocket all the time i don't know why yeah i don't know i don't know

don't see it um don't see it. Yeah. What else should we talk about? Volleyball this week. That same family showed up again. Yes. The Rose. Yes. The Rose. Mama Roe didn't come,

but Josh and his lady, Rachel brought more friends. So we had a full house. What's a full house? How many? Just like an extra, like four friends, probably.

Luke Holland couldn't make it. Ask Garrett Gibson. Who knew? Garrett Gibson is kind of nasty at volleyball it's like dude how'd you get this good i told you well you think college soccer player it's like yeah you're probably good at a number of things but with the hands who knows uh is it legal to use uh feet i think it is right you are allowed this is so interesting you're allowed to use your feet and sand volleyball but the specific venue we play at outlaws it it'd be like if high v arena was like hey no three-pointers what state are you in when you're doing this that would be um kent city

missouri it's so weird it's like it's venue specific rules why just like something happened yeah make that like an outlaw it's a legitimate kick something like out of frustration one time and it nailed a girl in the face it's just so fascinating to me that something that is allowed you can just outlaw at your place where the sport is no spiking no spiking in this volleyball yeah has to always go up hey uh no bunts like that's a part of the game not here it is no but here it isn't no buns um so you can't use your feet which i made sure to tell garrett right off the bat he's like dang i was i was like i know i know you probably could have done great but you think that's a widely known rule though I don't know yeah I don't know but um yeah he's his like sister was like a pretty good pretty good volleyball player growing up

he's like yeah she would just hit it at me a lot I was like that makes sense there's got to be a reason there's always an explanation but we had a lot of fun yeah the Rose were there again and um yeah they came to Andy's with us afterwards it's good good vibes good having them there and what are you getting any of these days i say that weird these days what are you gonna end this is days hey man i'm proud of myself you know it's funny i get so uh explorative that'd be the right word when it comes to dessert yeah you know it's like chilies they've got the same thing for six years straight but dessert's like yeah i'll go nuts sure um actually i'll remove the nuts but yeah i get something different

almost every time at andy's yeah they're all great boot daddy uh waffle nutty crunch uh the snow monster butterfinger concrete oreo concrete um or last last time i got key lime pie the coops love key lime pie dude try it yeah it was so refreshing i typically okay okay yeah yeah and i'm more of a chocolate like savor or whatever that is rich decadent yeah good word but i it hit the spot yeah nice yeah that is nice melted quick but as it does as it does uh rachel got recognized this week wanted to give a big shout out to um renee uh renee she's in and i'd seen her before in our like facebook group so i was like whoa renee from sbu you're like a listener somehow some way and um yeah so she recognized rachel while rachel was like nannying and had all these kids with her and renee had her i think

rachel said her kid's name was preston or whatever but anyway shout out renee she was like yeah renee said you probably wouldn't remember her. Renee, I remember. Oh, Renee. You had a twin. You married Devin. Renee. I think you, Brad, what dorm did she live in?

Renee lived in Jenkins' dorm. Jenkins. Jenkins 3. Is it Jenkins or is it specifically Jenkins? No, it's an A. J-A-N. Yeah, Jenkins. K apostrophe N-S. Jenkins. Jenkins. Yeah, Jenkins. K-apostrophe-N-S. Jenkins. Jenkins.

Yeah. Floor three, you walk up, you go up the elevator, because I was kind of lazy, and you get out of the elevator and you turn right, and she was the third door. The first one's a study hall dorm, and then the next one, and then her dorm. Yeah.

And she was really weirdly obsessed with, oh, what's his name? The lead singer of Train. Like, she had a bunch of posters of him in her room. Even on the outside door. That's how you knew it was Renee's room. And she was really like, I don't think she is anymore, but she was really into Lully Pulitzer, the style designer. So, like, everything she had was Lully. Her bag, her book bag, her, you know, dress, of course.

Yeah. Bedsheets, everything. Yeah. We, you know, dress, of course. Yeah. Bed sheets, everything. Yeah. We used to call her that Pulitzer Prize. You know, it was a little joke. Yeah. But yeah, I remember she was a great student. She got all A's.

We called her Ace. She was awesome. Yeah. Renee. You called her Renee's. Renee's. Yeah. Renee's.

Shout out Renee. Shout out Renee for recognizing Rachel. That's unreal that people can recognize rachel's face i mean that is a a trickle down yeah it's quite the trickle down i met a guy this week that was an sbu grad and i i think like every time i hear sbu i'm just like oh lock everyone knows jake and this guy is too young to know you dang it and that is weird to me because i'm like how old are we getting old yeah we're getting old like because he seemed old he's married he's got a beard i'm like this guy knows that's old this guy's heard of jake who's the guy you think who has a beard who's josh brumfield josh brumfield this guy wasn't josh brumfield this

guy is a redhead with a beard so it's different okay uh but i was like okay so like i do a podcast with this guy you know you probably know jake triple he's like jake triple you're like he started looking bearcats is that still you know is that a thing yeah you've seen the i'm sure you've seen the talent show where he does the beach ball with anderson gilberto flyleaf text yes yeah alex dimchek's you know uh he filmed alex dimchek's proposal video helicopter he dropped a bunch of limes in walmart one time nothing goes golfing with hayden no um anyway uh let's talk yeah i think we could talk about it publicly i think it was just so funny that group chat today yeah uh dude i was i was just observing you you gotta quit you gotta you gotta help me out dude

it's one thing if you're like oh i've been working been working. I haven't been on my phone. You can see me. I'm in the fight of my life here. And you're just observing? Just observing? So, okay. I think there's six or seven people in this group chat. We're playing in a basketball league this upcoming season. And we're trying to figure out, you know, there's usually rec, intermediate, or competitive.

And we're trying to figure out, like, for our schedules schedules if we want to do intermediate or competitive and jake is like with good reason firmly on the stance of like we need to do intermediate we will get absolutely floored and competitive it started off pretty polite it was like hey um because there's one guy who doesn't know any of us so we're introducing ourselves jake to be fair that guy doesn't know any of us played professionally overseas yeah so he's really good he's the finnish clay thompson that's what they call him that's right um that's what i've always called him but no i i think i played against him in high school uh grew up in branson and so we know each other but anyway yeah he's a stud so he's very good but uh but he doesn't know any of us so he's like asking us to introduce

ourselves and so i'm like jake triplett 511 with cowboy boots on and i think it'd be way more fun for all of us if we play intermediate it starts off real nice and easy i just think it'd be more fun gunner's there to back me up he's like i'm with jake let's let's hear it you know we're here to have fun and then will severance who has only ever played in the recreational league he's never played above the lowest division he's like guys i really think we should be playing competitive and i'm like i don't think so at all and i'm trying to defend ourselves and none of my friends who have played in intermediate league are coming to my defense eventually got so bad two hours later i have to text brand luke i'm like, I don't think so at all. And I'm trying to defend ourselves. And none of my friends who have played in intermediate league are coming to my defense. Eventually it got so bad. Two hours later, I have to text Brad and Luke.

I'm like, yo, can somebody help me out here? Jake goes, can you please help me out with this group chat? LOL. I was against the ropes. And yeah, because everyone, and I even said this in the group text, I said, everyone who's played in the intermediate league wants to play in the intermediate league. It's one guy who's only played at the lowest divisions. Like, why aren't we playing competitive? I could tell Jake, like, I just know you well enough to be

like, Jake is Jake is bothered by this. I was bothered. Jake is legitimately by Will's logic and by everyone else's lack of, because honestly, most group texts, I complain about this all the time, but everyone's on their phone constantly. We all know we're on our phones constantly. And because a week ago it was like hey we only have six should we get someone else and i said i'm golfing with luke hoagland right now i can ask him no one replies for four hours so i'm like all right that he's free on tuesdays and then will responds lol all you ask him is if he's free on tuesdays i'm like well no one said anything so what was i supposed to do and so this group text already it just

doesn't seem to reply to me and then when i'm like trying to like help us out truly it will not be fun if we play in the competitive league see i i'm not as strongly uh in that as you are only because in our experience we have played in the uh rec league before against guys who played professionally overseas and so it's like i feel like and then we play the intermediate league and it's like, these guys should not be in the intermediate league. These guys stink, you know? And so I feel like maybe it logically,

yeah. If the competitive league is what we think it is, of course we were going to get railed, but like maybe the competitive league is going to be people like us where they can't find any other time slots. So like, I guess we'll go to this league. So,

so that, and so let me tell you my justification. That's true, but still, no, I understand. I understand. Like, like, I guess we'll go to this league. So, so that, and so let me tell you my justification. That's true. But still, no, I understand. I understand. Like, like, cause you're, you're thinking like the competitive people, you know, are supposed to have these credentials. We don't have these credentials.

Therefore we should not be in this league. Like, and just forget even what the website says you should do. Here's our track record. We've played in the intermediate league four times. We've had a college basketball player every time we've never won it. Yeah. Not once. We want it.

If it's like, you know, professional soccer, then we would get promoted. We wouldn't even get promoted. Yeah. We might get relegated. We might get relegated. Yeah. Last season. But my justification is that I was just like, there's enough people, there are enough cooks

in the kitchen. I'm just going to stay out of it. Oh, I need you cooking, dude. I need you cooking. And then you're like, hey, Brad, we have a large party that just came in. Can you please hop on the stove? And I said, yes, I can, Jake. We have a large party coming. Dude in. Can you please hop on the stove? And I said, yes, I can. We have a large party coming.

Dude, if we worked in the kitchen together, that'd be so fun. Oh, I would love it. Anywhere. I would love to work at a restaurant, I think. I've said that for a long time. For a season. I want to be a server. I think it'd be really fun.

You make money based off your personality. What a motivator. Yeah. Oh, it's awesome. And like how quickly and efficiently. I would love it. Oh, I would love it. I'd get burns on my forearm.

I bet from carrying the skill of fajitas right there. That'd be one of my things like, oh, that's the guy that has cows on his forearm. So he can just walk around. It's like, who's got him? It is the equivalent of like a gangster having a teardrop. You know, it's like he earned that. Yeah, he killed somebody. Yeah.

You got three rings on him. He's been doing this three years. Yeah. He'll get out of his car and come yell at you from a stoplight. He's got rings on his forearms. Anyway. Uh, yeah, but that was like, I, I just know you well enough to know, like, you were right. This is, it's like the 8k camera thing where it's like, Jake's not going to let this go.

Jake's going to be frustrated. I knew I was right. I am so confident. I'm right from experience. And my adversary was not speaking from experience. It made no sense. And then I'll tell you last thing, what bothers me now is so we decide everyone finally. So Brad and Luke come to my defense.

Very well thought out. Very like well said things. And I was like, thank you guys so much. So we agree. All right, we're going to do intermediate league. I'm like, thank the Lord. This could be so much more fun. This is going to be so much more fun this is

gonna be so much better oh yeah we're gonna have we're gonna have a fighting chance against these normal average joe basketball players just like us so then um sorry go ahead the the fact that whatever happened like the the first thing that happens next is so funny because you were pushing so hard for the intermediate league i was like intermediate intermediate we definitely should luke brack you please tell us i even get luke to help out which luke doesn't say that he's so funny because you were pushing so hard for the intermediate league. I was like, intermediate, intermediate. We definitely should. Luke Bragg, you please tell us. I even get Luke to help out, which Luke doesn't say that he's so nice. So Luke comes to my defense, fully knowing that Luke is only available on Tuesday nights. How it works is I guess we were too late to sign up.

The Tuesday time slots are gone. So now if we want to play intermediate, it's on Thursdays, which means Luke can now no longer play. So Luke came to my defense. He's leading a ministry and therefore is like, yeah, being the hands and feet of Jesus and sacrificing for other people. And in this group text, he was the martyr.

He came up and he's like, hey, take me. Yeah. Take me and have your Thursday nights. I can't play. So it's like, gosh, Luke, I'm so sorry. Oh, now we have to find somebody. I'm sure we're just gonna have to find a scrub, right, Jake? So I go, all right, Luke can't play on Thursdays anymore.

Bummer, we're down to six. You guys want me to ask Isaac. First? Um, no one says a thing. No one says a thing. No one says, yeah, that sounds good. No, you know, yeah. Ask him. Yeah. Um, next thing, you know, we just get a text. It's like, Hey, Relaford's in. And, uh, I go Travis Relaford and he says, yes. And I go, yeah, I was just very excited because Travis Relaford, if you guys don't know, was a two or three year starter for University of Kansas when they went to the national championship

and is very good at basketball. Standout division one basketball player, played several years overseas, has a highlight reel on YouTube, which is a sign of the player. Yeah, it's going to be just fine in the intermediate league, I think. So then everyone's like,

Oh shoot, we got Ralford. Well, we got to play the competitive league and no one is addressing the fallacy. And what we've done, we basically kicked out Luke. So now we're going to play competitive on Tuesday nights. We basically just kicked Luke out to get this college basketball player.

And now Luke's just going to, I don't know. He's just going to be in the group text and just watch this. But I don't know. Like no one's talking about that. It's so obvious to me. Like, do you guys realize what we did? We just, he's just gonna be in the group text and just watch this, but I don't know. Like no one's talking about that. It's so obvious to me. Like, do you guys realize what we did? We just kicked, he's still in the group text.

He knows that we kicked him out and we're gonna play on Tuesdays now. Oh man. It's so dumb. I feel like I'm taking crazy pills. But are we playing on Tuesdays? I assumed everyone was like, oh, I mean, we got two D1 players.

See, let me look back at this. I feel like Gunner, Gunner is like, I think that we should do a James Schwartz video on types of people in a group text because because gunner is the classic type of person who just makes jokes the whole time and derails people like let me let me try to find this um where'd it go let's see so like we figure out that we got travis rutherford and gunner goes rather have would rather have Jeff Withey. I don't get that. Jeff Withey is another basketball player on KU. OK, good.

Went to the NBA. OK, OK. Yeah. Great shot blogger, like seven feet tall. OK. Anyway. But yeah, Gunner's just just always like making jokes about all these. He's just fooling.

Anyway. But yeah, it just says signing us up right now. It doesn't say. Oh, Gunner say he's signing us up. So I don't know if we're going to be intermediate or competitive. Love the clarity. Love the organization. When Jake Tripple was a manager, you knew what you were signing up for.

You got a link sent to you. You knew when game times were. See, but all of a sudden, like you got, sometimes you just got to be like, hey, let other people, let other people take it. I guess. Or take control i know i just i i wonder when the last time i wasn't the person to book a tea time for our friend group golfing really it's amazing yeah i think now that i've been i've like taken on that role yeah they're like yeah jake will do it

yeah yeah it's crazy which i don't necessarily mind are you enabling them maybe yeah i need to go radio silent for a while give him the p Peter treatment Sorry, I can only text at home. Yeah guys figure it out. You guys do it yourself. Yeah, no, it's all good Yeah, I was funny group Texas great that I asked Luke to come to my defense and now he's not on the team because he Came to my defense. Yeah, he was like you guys please back me up Sure. Yeah, I can he's like he's like texting through the tears like guys play with seriously. It's a better idea Look made a great point though he's like i've played in the competitive league before i was the only person who didn't play college basketball and we came in third yeah it's like i mean there's your excuse what's gonna be funny now though is

that we're gonna play in the intermediate league and people are gonna complain that we're in the wrong people are gonna be like why are these guys in intermediate they have travis rutherford on their team which is great that i guess he's on our team but we didn't really talk about it it's like i mean yeah i think i would prize I think I would have preferred it. Yeah, I would have preferred one of our friends. I think truly, you know, it's like, that's fun. This is gonna be such a fun crew. Like Severance is hilarious.

Gunner is so fun to play with. Like Kevin's hilarious. Like our team is gonna be so funny. That's why I'm like, let's not play competitive. This is gonna be so fun. Gunner and Will are so funny already. Will is very, very funny. But the image of Gunner and Travis Rutherford

just cracks me up because travis rutherford's just a certified baller and gunner just always wears the most ridiculous things like he's always in like something that you would see on fresh prince you know in 1998 like it's just like he looks ridiculous and like he's wearing like bright orange shoes and yeah all these different things and i could just see him like trying to coach travis rutherford at some point. Because Gunnar loves to be like, hey, do this. You guys need to do this.

And it's just going to be great. I'm excited. Good group text. Good group text. Stay tuned on how that goes. I'm sure it's not done. But it's going to be a fun season. It's going to be fun. I'm trying to think what else I was going to mention from this week. Kind of a fun little um time which i said

i'm not going to get in the habit of doing this necessarily but a couple just fun interactions with ghosties and people who know me in public this week one was from church sunday rachel and i went to early service as we're leaving the guy stops me and he's like hey what's up i gotta say hey i actually saw your hair i saw your hair yeah um touching the ceiling fan i was like that's gotta that's gotta be jake i saw him before he's like yeah i saw you perform uh and i was like oh here in town and he was like um no in chicago actually and i was like oh that makes sense totally so um are you from here are you like from where you're just in chicago visiting or you live there and he's like oh i'm from uh los angeles i was like totally that makes sense okay yeah do you want

to connect the dots or do you want to just be very mysterious like it was actually i think i got backwards i think he saw the show in la but he lives in chicago okay um okay that's what it was because i was like oh wow so well that's wild that you're meeting you know i was like i live here that's crazy and i was like so what are you doing here and he's like well well i live here now yeah okay he's like well um pastor whatever uh and i went to um wheaton together i was like oh that's why i love wheaton i noticed people went there i got a buddy who lives in the town of wheaton right now and he's like and then the other pastor we went to seminary together in pennsylvania i was like dude you are the most well connected i mean you were throwing so many things at me right now this is amazing and then to top it off i was like

well you might be in for a treat i was like like, Trey usually comes to this church, too. I didn't see him at this service, but maybe he's coming to the late service because he was coming in. So I was like, hey, maybe we'll see him after church. About four hours later,

I get on Instagram and I have a story mentioned and it's a selfie of me and him and it's a selfie of Trey and him. So he really did see Trey. So I was like, what a trip to Kansas City for this guy. Did he stay?

You think he stayed like to wait for Trey? He was coming to late service anyway. So, yeah, he was like, probably just waited till afterwards. But yeah, he was like, just wait until afterwards. But yeah, so shout out, Richard. That was fun in it today. This is cool, kind of.

I feel like I have to like address this. So I'm in Summer Moon and Abigail was her name. She's a ghosty. She is only on episode 90, so it's going to be a while before she hears this. But she's such a huge ghosty. Shout out, Abigail lives in Belton, and she teaches at where garrett gibson jenny lamar to high school that's yeah shout out but as i'm talking to her as we're

taking a selfie i'm not kidding i didn't like maybe see it i'm 100 sure a girl walked out of summer moon wearing ghost runners merch as i'm taking a selfie with abigail what so i don't know if she saw me it was like ah he's already he's already, he's already thinking of selfies. Or she just didn't see me, but I saw her. So like, I don't know. What shirt? Five, five brunette wearing a plum ghost runner shirt. It was like a very simple, just said ghost runners on it. Like Sarah Font.

And yeah, you were there with like three or four people. I think jean shorts, you had jean shorts on. I don't know. That's a rough description. But she was there. It was like a top call for Rachel. It's like, well, hold on. I would like to speak to you.

And she just left. So crazy circumstances. You're a hundred percent positive. Yes. It was a ghost on her shirt. I know it was really. Yeah. Wow.

That's wild. So I don't know. Thanks a lot, Abigail. Yeah. It's all your fault. No, I didn't say anything,

but just interesting. Kind of fun. I have a few, you said something about your hair hitting the ceiling fan and that reminded me uh sloan stone dog millionaire stone dog yeah niece sloan uh had to go get stitches uh the other day yesterday two days ago something like that uh had he comes out we're all like all the adulterers hanging out eating lunch on the deck adequate deck and uh had he walks out and said, Sloan hit her head. Sloan hit her head on the bed.

And you're like, Hattie, I don't have time to finish this Dr. Seuss rhyme. Okay. We're just hanging out. We're like, okay. Yeah. Like a bummer. We'll come in and we'll come check it out or have her come. And then like probably five seconds later, Sloan walks out with just like a good amount

of blood on her face. And we all just like, like just instinctively just like stand up or like, Oh my gosh. Yeah. And we had to teach how to like, Hey, if like if someone,

if that happens again, say Sloan hit her head and she's bleeding. Cause I guess what happened was Sloan went up, someone up to the top bunk and she, apparently the ceiling fan was on. I don't know. And I guess just like was Sloan went up, Sloan went up to the top bunk and she, apparently the ceiling fan was on. I don't know. And I guess just like boom, boom, boom. Got me right in the head.

Jab, jab, cross real quick. So I had to go to the ER and get stitched up for it. Does Hattie know the word blood before? Like she knew how to use it in a sentence? Or do you think she knows? Okay. I don't know. Yeah, dude.

I don't know. That's funny. Like, like, do we teach her this yet,'t know. Yeah, dude, I don't know. I think that is funny. Like, like, do we teach her this yet, Jake? Or yeah, like have like a game show. I've talked to Rachel about this all the time. I just I love asking questions about the kids. She's nannying and they seem so fun. And right.

A lot of times I was shocked. I just I don't know maturity levels. I don't know what kids know. I don't know what a nine year old thinks is funny. And so I just I always reiterate. I'm like, I'm so ready for a middle schooler. But anything beneath that, I'm lost. I don't know what goes on. I don't know the adolescent stages, but middle schoolers, I feel so good about.

But obviously like, if you have kids, you're going to have them, they start out at zero. And so you learn with them, like what stage they're on. It's not like, it's not like you're like, do you know algebra yet? Or are you still on like basic addition or like, you know, it was actually, I had the, I had a a funny thought today like the kids were all playing in the driveway while i was working it was great you know they were all watching me probably the whole guy's got a cool computer social accountability and um but uh bo was like riding his scooter past like this bucket of like this trash can that i have and it was like overflowing with sawdust and bo just goes sawdust sawdust sawdust you're like huh and i'm like how many two-year-olds know the word

sawdust you know sawdust you know sawdust like so you're saying sawdust bow doesn't yeah sawdust sawdust sawdust should i should i do a uh uh reel with that on there woodworkers in 2013 a sawdust sawdust a sawdust just trying to uh woodwork with my breasts just trying to yeah what else just trying to saw with my breasts just trying to woodwork with my breasts. Just trying to saw with my breasts. Just trying to saw with my breasts. I'll do a little Harlem shake, maybe. In there, do a quick vine with the bruh sound effect. Boom.

That one's not as clear to know which one I'm talking about. You can do the- Most of these things are a little above me anyway, but- Turn down for what? Use that song. Okay. All okay all right there you go there's some options yeah um black beetles in the city mannequin challenge harlem i said thing mannequin challenge right um everything's harlem shake to me anyway i'm just thinking about like bo like we you know he doesn't know so many words that other two years probably know but you know sada he's got sada's down you know like had he doesn't know probably like like really basic home like handyman things but she knows what a festool domino is

you know yeah your kids bow is just like wood glue yeah like yeah i think that does make sense type on two yeah yeah we should yeah whatever it's just so funny that he says sawdust like it's sawdust sawdust that's great's sawdust. That's great. Shout out, Bo. Shout out to Bowie. I think the last thing I want to mention, we'll get into voiceovers real quick. Rachel has become a little self-conscious.

Her social accountability can sometimes be a bad thing because she was having to do research for her like counseling program, whatever. She's like, I really hope we were at a coffee shop. She's like, I really hope no one like walks over or like recognize you or in any way comes behind behind me right now because while we're sitting face to face on our laptops she had two tabs pulled up one said domestic violence and the other said planned parenthood she's like this is just not a good look if they like what yeah i'm writing a

paper she's like wanting to make an announcement just if anyone at any point walks by we're doing fine yeah yeah she's got to have like she's got to make it like very clear that she's a student or a teacher like have glasses on have a huge textbook just have an apple yeah yeah it's like so stereotypical like like a ruler with your name on it it doesn't name tag yeah maybe a chalkboard just anything and everything that It's just sketch. It's just weird. It's too much. Maybe like a bathtub in the corner with pillows in it for like when they go reading for reading time.

Okay. Yeah. Really? Do you ever have a teacher like that? No. Oh, man. Mrs. Coulter had a bathtub. It was the coolest thing.

It was like, okay, you get the bathtub today. Bath read. Yep. That's fun. Yeah. She's been real nervous. I'm like, I would probably be nervous too. Yeah.

Just looks so bad. Yeah, just like domestic violence. Yeah, but anyway, we're doing fine. She's a studious girl. Should we get into some voice memos? Let's do some voice memos. All right, let's do it. Oh, I nailed that.

I nailed that. Hey. Oh. I nailed that! I nailed that! Hey! Whoa! You... I wasn't confident that I was going to nail it, but then I punched it and it punched with me. Oh, yeah. You looked like...

What did you look? It was like a... Probably a freaking samurai fighter. No, you looked like a weird kid in high school who was threatening to beat you up and didn't know how to like put his dukes up. Instead of putting him like right in front of his like jaw, he like extends his hands up.

Hey, hey, hey. Dukes up. Hey, I've watched a lot of Dragon Ball Z, okay? I've watched a lot of Dragon Ball Z and I can kick your butt. The hands went so wide. It was great, it was a good punch. I was trying to be more like, I don't even know what I was thinking, but I'm thinking

more like that was an umpire. What kind of, what kind of strike three would you do? Oh, really? I'd have two distinct noises. Oh, so, so like the first one's like. It's like strike three. But you're still going for the. It's like strike three, but I'm like barely enunciating anything.

I think for my my first two two strikes i would be a very like old old timey oh sorry i thought you were just asking the strike like this strike oh yeah and then the last one be like hey just one strong yeah noise oh but they'd see that they'd see the punch, baby. Punch him out. So the first is like Steve. Right. It'd be it'd be more. It'd be more animated than that. Steve, right.

I think I'd have the same volume and even inflection, but I'd keep it one syllable. Try. Oh, I like that. I do that. I think I have some rationale. Yeah. It's like you're a quarterback under there. Yeah.

That. From Austin, Texas. I like that, too. I like I like just a long one. Strike. The ball's already back in the pitcher's hand. You're not there. Just add a third syllable.

Steve. Anyway. Sky. Anyway. Sky! One. Ball. That was what I would do for balls. I should be like, ball one. Steve, right!

Ball. Steve! Right! Ball. I think I'd almost hit the wall on the third row. I think I'd throw it up. Like he's called. Okay. Oh, yeah.

Yeah. Yeah. Everyone's like, you're kind of walk back with them. Like you're moving so much and your hand is going so far. They're like, do you stole me out of the game? No, no, no. Just a strike three call. No, sorry. That's a strike. I'm really excited about it Looks like we're just throwing them out of the game every time

You're out of there. I really said you're out of there. No just for the at bat. Yeah, just so you bet No, sorry, you're confused. Gosh, we got either cook at a restaurant or umpire together. Oh, that's so fun, dude I'm firing 10 and under. That's as high as I go. If you are listening to this and you are 16 years or younger, you need to be an umpire before you graduate high school. Because you're not going to do it ever again? I don't know. I'm not saying you're not going to ever again,

but I think it'd be really like, it's more realistic when you're that old. Like, I think you should go do it. Because I think that'd be some, A, I think you would really like learn some life lessons from just getting harassed by parents that are too competitive. And B, I think you could have a lot of fun and some really great stories to come back

and tell us on the podcast. Have you seen that like eight year old umpire? I see it's like TikToks every now and then. No, but I love it. It's like he's reffing or umpiring adults. And I'm like, I think that's adults. Yeah. No way.

Yeah. I'll put it on like the facebook page or something this week it's fun the whole way okay now okay now voice memos how long we've been recording okay a good amount don't worry about we'll have some quick answers this will be fun hey jake and brad hey my name is walker i'm from dallas i went to smu jake i was actually in rich jake and j and Josh videos when y'all were at SMU. I was also a camper at K-West when you were on leadership there. Brad, I worked at K-Country.

Oh, never mind. I take all that. Poor. What's up, Walker? So my question for y'all is, so I'm a frequent goer to Raising Cane's Chicken Fingers. And at some of the locations, they have parking spots with signs that say, low emission vehicles only. And that gave me the idea of if I ever had a restaurant or something with a parking lot,

I want to put different signs at all different parking spaces that have different requirements for you to be parking. That is so fun. Like left-handed parking only or dog owner parking only. So I wanted to ask you all. Yeah, okay. I get where he's going. You can stop it. I get it. left-handed parking only or dog owner parking only so i wanted to ask y'all yeah okay i get where he's going that you're gonna stop it i get it like we've been recording for too long i can't listen the next 20 seconds of that walker that's fun i'm trying to think what videos we do at smu i don't even know that's you've been in a video you've been at k west you've been to k country

pony up you've been to canes pony up here let's go stangs that's a fun idea and i would change him out often. Even people get used to them. Like, yeah, it's kind of fun. This place has left-handed parking. It's like, it's not always there. Yeah. I like the idea of, I like some of them being like attributes, but other ones being like requirements. If you park there, you have to X, Y, Z $20 minimum order. Okay. I like that. I like, if you park there, you have to sing a song on your way out into the, like into the store or when you walk into the store or like you have to get free refills for everybody. Like make it like you're a paid employee, you know, like

you are the refill guy. Take out the trash. Yeah. Take out the trash from the southern wall. Oh, I like this a lot. I mean, I think I'd like something where people almost have to do a double take. It doesn't say expect at mother's parking. It says like would love to someday be a mother parking. OK, just if you have aspiring mother, aspiring mother's parking. It says like, would love to someday be a mother parking. Okay. Just if you have aspirations, aspiring mother's parking. Yeah. That's a fun parking spot.

Just if it's on your mind. And like, and people could really stretch that and be like, well, I have a kid and someday she would like to be a mom. And like, she's in the car someday. I'm parking on her behalf.

Right. On her behest. I like the idea of like, we talked about social pushups at one point, like doing like, you have to walk in and do 25 pushups before you get to order and they were promoting fitness along with yeah you know this this business

I think I'd like to promote some sort of cast system just like some of the spots bachelor's degree minimum okay that's where they could park yeah someone say dropped out of high school that's where you can park and you know what sometimes like you honor that because they're ambitious probably I'm not saying that the bachelor's degrees get to park up close. I'm just saying you have parking spots, right? Yeah. Maybe

somebody who's got a bachelor's degree masters and then going for another one. And so she's a student, but still tells people I'm dating a standup comedian. You get your own spot. Yeah. Yeah. Um, if you've ever been asked your parents home, you get a spot. I think I think one of them has to be like, you can park here, but you have to have at least six wheels. And so it's like, yeah, four wheels. But you also have to have a bike or two cycles, a stroller, maybe just a spare or two rip stick.

Rips. Yes, exactly. Ripstick. All those things. That's a really fun concept i can see that being like a funny like yeah sketch like a theme of the theme of the month like you you post on your social media like crumble cookie but yeah it's like oh i wonder what the parking spot's gonna be this month yeah i want i hope i fit in yeah yeah that's fun it's fun just drinks we'll put

it in okay next one is from sarah hi j Jake and Brad. This is Sarah from Dallas. Jake, I was the one that met you on tour in Dallas, and I told you that a couple years ago I asked you to be my wedding videographer over DMs, and you turned me down, and then you filmed someone else's wedding a couple months later. Boom. Anyways, I want to keep a voice memo asking you a question. Is there something that you can think of that people say all the time that's just not true? I thought this morning when I was trying to teach my daughter to open a water bottle, she was three years old.

I almost told her, righty-tighty, lefty-loosey. But then I realized that's not true. If you really think about it, when you're trying to open a water bottle, you turn the cap to the right to loosen it and you turn the cap to the left to tighten it so righty tighty lefty lucy it's just it's not true is there anything else you can think of that's like that sarah sarah sarah by the way i wanted to tell you classic um sarah no i didn't end it she ended it oh gosh we're bringing that back um you fooled me because you you definitely the other one yeah that's all like jake stop no that was a really okay sarah you you get you won that one but please stop doing that guys that was a good one sarah thanks for bringing up the wedding video thing um jake gets a lot of emails guys sorry i think specifically i told her i was like i don't do wedding videos anymore

and then i did one more it was for like one of his best friends though kind of holly manhan manhans yeah i was like okay i'll do one last one for you um okay sarah i've actually thought about this before because in a way you're right like anything that moves in a circular motion is going to move two different directions if we're just speaking left right or up and down so it depends on which part of the circle you're looking at so what we should what we should use, let me finish, is clockwise or counterclockwise. Because then you always know. For a little kid.

Hold on. Okay. But lefty, loosey, righty, tighty is easier. But this phrase works when looking at the top of the circle. So the top of the circle is moving lefty. It is moving counterclockwise. The bottom of the circle is moving to the right. Still counterclockwise, but the bottom circle is moving to the right, still counterclockwise,

but the bottom circle is moving right. So I see what she's saying. Everyone gets this. This is, this is why it's so easy. Lefty loose. I'm saying, I see what she's saying,

but everyone looks at the top of the circle. Yeah, everyone. Yeah, exactly. That's why, that's why what she's saying is irrelevant. Sarah.

No, I'm not on Sarah's side. I'm not either. Well, take that Sarah. So we think we should have Travis Rutherford play on her. But that's interesting. No, I see what you're saying, Sarah.

Whatever. What are she asked us? What are like lies? That's that's a fun idea that we've never thought about before. Let's think. I don't know. Like I've heard people be like, you know, really touting like their high school accolades a lot. Yeah.

Or like your uncle. Your uncle has a lot of phrases that he has come up with. Like it seems like your uncle did some pretty good stuff. Or at least he knows a guy who invented something. Yeah. There's always like a loose connection to like somebody really popular, really friendly. Dude, I saw a video online. I'm trying to remember who it was.

See if I could find it. I saw a video online talking. It was like a whole video about lies. Really? Yeah. You want me to play it? Just look up lies, yeah. Okay, lies, YouTube.

Let's see if they're, okay. Yeah, okay, I think I found it. Well, yeah, I was in the army 15 years. Sniper. Hoorah. Few the proud. Yeah, I took the LSAT, scored in the 98th percentile, got into Harvard, didn't accept it. When I thought about that, I still want to be tethered to a desk.

That's why I work at a gas station. The latch that comes down that supports the airplane tray for your food. Yeah, my uncle knew the guy who invented that. Really? Well, a hotel? No, I wouldn't go over to that hotel over there. No, no, no.

Well, they say room 18's haunted. Yeah, FBI's been looking into it. Yeah, I bought me a house one time, $100,000. Flipped it three months later, $550,000. Live in a trailer park just because I like it. It was just fifth grade, so it was only one year, but I was the best pole vaulter in the country. Eleven and a half feet.

No, yeah, I was a very good basketball player. I was actually looked at by Duke back in the day. I broke the backboard. Yeah, every other game, I would dunk and I'd break that backboard. Back in the day, I was actually working on a sci-fi of my own. Ended up not selling the movie rights because Avatar stole it. My uncle actually knew the guy who invented Times New Roman. Yeah, I had a cop bust me one time, pull me over for speeding. We had a little bit of a verbal altercation

I got in my car. I backed him down. I know jujitsu. He looked at me, he said, this is your town now. It's a good thing too, cause I could have killed him. Yeah, I had a buddy actually get into crypto

at like the perfect time. He made just short of 9 million on Dogecoin alone. Yeah, turns out I got cancer. So I went ahead and started a GoFundMe for a 2022 Chevy Silveradoado it's my dying wish i had uh 14 million tick tock followers and then it freaking got shut down i don't know why they won't give me an explanation you actually got hit here one time by a milkman going 35 and a half miles an hour i was declared legally dead twice so if you don't appreciate your life now you will

once you get hit by a milkman you understand yep uh you. Uh, you heard of Blake Griffin, haven't you? That's what I thought. You know who coached him in middle school? My uncle. Hey, do you remember that episode of CSI Miami where they found that guy dead in the corn silo? That was about my next door neighbor. I called him to prove it, but he's dead.

We saw him and we were just like, aw, shucks. Yeah! Boom, ba- boom, boom! Well, you know, I used to be on Broadway myself. Phantom of the Opera. I was the Phantom. Well, my grandpa, he actually won the lottery back in 1987. But when he went to go redeem his ticket, he actually got robbed by June Carter.

That was before she was called June Carter Cash. I don't think it's a coincidence to you. Where do you think she got the cash? My grandpa. So my uncle's a pilot. You know, he's a crop duster pilot. He's the best one in the Tri-County area really good he's really good i was in the cockpit with him he he just starts fainting i think he he's having a stroke right there and what does

he do what do i do here's what i do i get on there and i do the sticks myself i land the plane tell him who called you president carter he says son i'm very proud of you i was eight years old yeah that was two years ago. You know the fast break in basketball? My uncle's dad invented that. That's right. You see that golden retriever over there? His dad was actually the understudy for Air Bud.

Yeah, don't put a basketball near his nose. He went up to American Idol all the way in San Diego. They said, you're going to Hollywood. It was never even on the show. Didn't even air. Didn't air it. Not even one second of that thing. No fruits for his labor.

My grandpa's Johnny Cash, yeah. Burns, burns, burns. A ring of fire. That's my grandpa. Walk the Line was actually written after me. It was when I first learned how to walk. He wrote that song that night. In third grade gifted class,

I actually had the idea for coffee sleeves. I know a guy who invented the Ferris wheel. Hmm. They called him Mr. Ferris. The fourth wheel on a car. Apple Pickers. I know the guy. The metric system.

Right when I heard about COVID-19, bought 10,000 bottles of hand sanitizer, sold every single one of them. Just like that. The Tyson Chicken Plant up the road, they're thinking about making it a Amazon fulfillment center. Yeah, Zucco is down here, or Musk.

Bezosburg? I don't know, one of them. I went to prison once for beating a guy up in a local watering hole. Never got caught neither. Never got caught neither. Never got caught neither. Never got caught neither.

Well, no. So. There's some lies. Those were, those were just off the top of the head though. That's just some. Top of the dome. Top of the dome. So.

Fun fact, we originally were going to call that small town lies. Small town liars. top of the dome so fun fact we originally were going to call that small town lies small town liars yeah small town liars yeah

something like that yeah also fun never mind there's an outtake in that video yeah there is it was really funny

Brad made us laugh that's all you need to know that's all you need to know looks like we have a voicemail from Vandergoons I know that because I see the name Matthew here oh yeah he said he was going like we have a voicemail from Vandergoons. I know that because I see the name Matthew here. Oh, yeah.

He said he was going to leave us a voicemail. Yeah. Let's hear it. Let's listen in. Brad, Big Daddy, String Bean, Jake. How y'all doing? This is Vandergoons, a.k.a. Alex, but also known as Matt. Yes, my name's not Alex, but Brad, don't stress it, man.

I know how life can be sometimes. Anyway, I wanted to tell a story about our dog, Sonny. And so right before our trip to New Mexico, he had some digestive problems. And so I wanted to take him to the vet because we thought he ate a grape. And so I accidentally took him to the wrong place, but I didn't figure it out right away because I went to the counter and I'm telling him all about his digestive issues and like everything going on and how he has diarrhea like crazy. And she just looks at me like, oh, and then she says, where do you think you are? I said, the vet. She said, this is a rehabilitation center. So, yeah, then I went to the vet.

But have you ever had a similar experience to this where you were somewhere or something so you're like hey yeah i uh i need to check somebody in okay what's their name um it was by he answers to scrappy yeah his name's chance okay chance okay yeah um and uh can i just get a little more description on him? Yeah, sure. He's got like yellowish, blondish hair. I don't know, probably 48 inches total. Okay.

And what's going on with him? Oh, he's just having some tummy stuff going on. You know, just like all these things. Like, okay, have you tried uh you know yeah we go on walks every night together um and you know they just he'll eat the peanut butter right off the spoon sometimes when he's hungry okay mentally how does it seem like he's doing i think we try talking to him yeah and he'll talk back sometimes but it's just it's really non-verbal for the most part you can just tell like something that he's cries a lot at night okay uh yeah why don't you go ahead and bring

him back and we'll we'll check him out can you imagine and then they're like yeah they're like putting like the the paper down on the little like uh doctor chair like for you to go back there for like and all of a sudden this golden retriever walks by. What in the world? That's really funny. I love like he got how far to get into the conversation about the diarrhea. He just stopped. It's like, what are you doing? I love that. He asked like, so has that ever happened to you guys?

Have you guys ever taken a dog to rehab? Are you guys something similar at least? So I just like to know your similar stories, guys. Just relate it to your life. Let me know where you've taken your dog on accident. And it's filled with people. I would say, I would say the most relatable thing to me,

goons, uh, was one time. And it's not really like the exact same thing, but one time I thought I was supposed to meet somebody on August 1st. That was a Saturday. And instead, August 1st was a Monday. And I felt pretty out of place and dumb that time so

you felt like a dog I felt like yeah I had gotten my like I stood up tail was between your legs yep so anyway that's that's really yeah just fun those things that's great thanks goons thanks Alex all right here's another one all right what is up Jake and Brad? So, my name's Tucker. I'm a big fan of the pod. And I have a couple questions. So, for Jake, see, I just got this good camera. Rich. Like, good, high-quality camera.

And I want to get into some, like, photography, videography. What are some of your tips of how you got into it? Things to start out with. Oh, good. Because I think it'd be a fun thing to do. And a question for both you guys. What is your favorite memory from camp, from working at camp, from going to camps?

Because my church, we went to camp a couple weeks ago. It was so much fun. Can't wait to go back. So I'm just wondering, what was your guys' favorite memory, favorite time you had? Yeah, keep up. Thanks, Tucker.

I think we've been asked about camp quite a bit, but luckily today on my Facebook memories or whatever, something happened nine years ago, and I was like, ooh, that was a good memory. It's so, I mean, for one, we didn't have our phones or cameras in there, so it's hard to be reminded of what you did. But when you do have that visual reminder,

it's like, man, we did so much. I spent six summers there. There was so much that happened. One of the things we did, I don't know if that visual reminder, it's like, man, we did so much. You know, I spent six summers there. There's so much that happened. One of the things we did, I don't know if you guys ever did a game like this. So it was my first year on programs. We played a game called Crab Crunch. So we did is we we had a shoebox full of hermit crabs. So we showed the audience like, look at all the hermit crabs we have.

I'd hold them up. So, all right, we need one guy, one girl volunteers. Get them up there and say, all right, your goal is going to be to walk across this stage blindfolded while dodging the hermit crabs okay so i hope you guys are in touch with your senses i hope you're not animal lovers you know whatever yeah yeah while we're blindfolding them we'd have like some counselors the maintenance guys come up they'd lay a tarp down we're like we're gonna lay a tarp things could get messy and then we would have them just cover it and like you know something different every time like pork rinds or like tortilla chips or whatever yeah and you're like all right ashley jeremiah you guys ready all right try your best and go and then dude when they

stepped on that tortilla chip the crowd would go nuts like oh the kids were traumatized oh it was awesome wow it was so great yeah we love tricking kids and yeah we did it well oh we did it well yeah and then later we'd say you know tell about the gospel and be like this part is true later later like trust us on this i know we've lost your trust with the other with crab crunch but like i promise this is the the best thing you can listen to yeah um we didn't really do anything like that because we had two younger kids one time during staff week we did this game called i think we called it like earth wind and fire or something like that but we we went to this pet store and bought two mice and good start yeah it was uh and so the first part of it was like it was like these different like challenges with the

mice so the first one was earth i don't even remember what exactly earth was anyway I don't know if it was like an obstacle course, but whatever they're supposed to do it and whoever, whatever mice got up and the next one was wind. And so it was like, you're supposed to use a, like a hairdryer, like blow this mouse down this ramp. And so it was like, it was like seemingly like this mouse is like, these mice are obviously real. And then the last one was fire. And what we had done was for the last one we had like switched out the mice for like the little cat mouse like like the mouse toys and we like soaked him in kerosene and so it was like uh and we and we had gotten the the guy in on it like like the counselor that was going to do this yeah in on it like okay like use the fire to like you know make it so that the mouse will want to like get, get down there farther. And so we open these things up and he lights the mat or lights the lighter.

And the mouse just like goes into a huge flame. And this guy, Morgan is his name, like did an amazing job of selling it. Like, like it was like dry heaving and like, like just absolutely like, like just freaking out. People were like up and like, Oh my gosh. Oh, you know, just like freaking out people were like up and like oh my gosh oh you know just like freaking out uh so oh i love a good trickery from the stage that's why i love magic yeah there you go we also had a have i ever told you about tony wonder we you know tony oh yeah from uh heavyweight oh arrested development what am i stiller's character in arrested development oh that's

why i thought that um yeah but basically that was our villain one summer was Tony Wonder, and he would come and do magic, and it was so funny. Because he had a W, like a mustache or a goatee in the shape of a W. That's phenomenal. And he would walk out, and he'd get everyone to clap with him. I mean, it was amazing. So best camp memory, I don't know. I mean, it's so hard to remember just one.

I'll tell you one that's not even- Proposingatherine probably okay that's a great one um i'll tell you one that's not even canica one have i told the mayonnaise story on the podcast ever dude i don't know um if i have i'll tell it again and people will be like yeah look at the glossary guys it's right there um but uh basically when i was like a seventh or eighth grader at camp uh i went to this camp and i had the worst counselor in the world. His name was Corey. He was from Orange County. He was like the pretty boy.

Like he was like all these girls had crushes on him, but he just was so unengaged. Like it wasn't like Canada Cook where like you were scheduled all the time. It was like you had free time for like four or five hours in the afternoon. And he just literally would like take naps in the cabin. Okay. Just not cool good counselor but one of the things that we knew like above all like cory i think this is like kind of a common trait with people cory hated mayonnaise like okay hated hated hated mayonnaise and so one time we were eating lunch and like each cabin had two large round tables that they could sit at

and so most of the guys were sitting, you know, at one round table. Naturally, Corey was at the other round table. And one of the kids like opened up kind of like one of those ketchup packets, but of mayonnaise, you know, like like an individually wrapped mayonnaise packet, open it up, squeeze a little bit of it out. And then for whatever reason, threw it across the table to the other table, nailed Corey in the head. Good toss bow.

And had all this mayonnaise in his head, like a good glob of mayonnaise. And I mean, we all thought it was pretty funny. This kid's name was Kyle. He's like, Corey's like, who did this? Who did this? And like, you could tell Kyle's sire get like freaked out. And Kyle's like, I did it. He's like, Kyle, come here.

He's like, he's like, he's pointing he's like he's he like is pointing like very forcefully he just goes lick it off and kyle's like what he goes lick it off my head what a weird response lick it off my head and and like he was like wanting him to lick it and finally the like the camp director had to come over and be like hey just f, we can't have middle schoolers licking things off your head. Remember the child protection plan? There's no licking of any kind. I mean, but like that is like a common quote in like anytime we spill anything, like even in college, like me and my friends, we always be like, oh, lick it off. Lick it off.

Lick it off my head, Kyle. So that's like one of my favorite like memories as a kid um but yeah i feel like we could fill a whole podcast with great like small little memories lick it uh but obviously the biggest memory is just yeah teaching kids about the gospel and seeing them be saved but um yeah in the meantime we had so many amazing parties and hilarious things that we did oh yeah so many so brad what is your advice to Tucker on a film and shooting? Okay. Tucker,

uh, people are going to talk about, you know, shutter speed and, uh, iOS is, and you know, windows sevens and F stops.

I would just worry about some people call F stop. Let's, let's call it aperture. I would go negative three and a half or so, and just stay in that lane. No matter how wide, how tight, how much light you have. As long as you have negative three point five F stop, you'll be fine. You'll be just is that right?

And whoosh transitions. Love the whoosh. Whoosh. Yeah, I would just like to echo. OK, piggyback, Brad. I just want to I just want to retweet, Brad. I just want to just want to harumph, Brad. I want to play some quick homage to brad on what he just

said um tucker sounds like you're in a spot I was when I first bought my camera just by the way you said I just bought a nice camera rather than telling me the type of camera you bought uh so that's great yeah I mean when I first bought a camera I was the same boat I was like I think I want to take nice or instagram pictures I don't know and then end up just like shooting a ton of videos because it cost so much money that I didn't want to waste my money. So if I were you, I would just encourage you to just go and use it every day. Take pictures, make videos. You don't have to post it. Just make a bunch of stuff just every day. Use it. You'll get better. You know, get some YouTubers that you like that make different styles of video. See if you can recreate their videos.

If you can reverse engineer how to make stuff, that's going to make you better. So just use it. Use it as much as you can. Do you remember a YouTuber that you really like to emulate? Yeah. When I first started out, I really liked Casey Neistat and Devin Supertramp. They're pretty different styles. And there's, of course, Sam Colder. Of course, the colder, cold, colder, the better.

So you always say negative 3.5. That's pretty cold Celsius. I'd say 8K camera, too, by the way. 8K, it'll pop on NFL Sunday on CBS. And make sure you color grade every time. God, a C grade. And let's do tracers. Frame rate.

Tracers on the drive. Oh yeah, FPS is good. Huge for photos. So yeah, those were big inspirations in 2014. 720p too. Like don't over try. You know, 720p is fine. 720p too like don't don't over don't over try you know 720p that's fine 720p is fine for the naked eye it's not noticeable from your phone from four feet away so keep that in mind there you go okay um no it's exciting tucker um we have one more voice memo but it's

a game i think let's save it for next week okay um wonderful but one quick thanks for the voice thank you guys all for doing it one quick other voice memo brad for you oh one more time oh that's when it like does the other thing though do you think it's the part of the song where they've done like um where they've started announcing it are they to that yet and now sorry justin like north carolina michael jordan gosh we just put that whole let's put that whole like sound clip in at the end of this episode next job for us to do together. PA announcers.

Harrison, I probably this upcoming week, after you're listed this on Thursdays, his podcast, Sporty Good Times, I'm going to be the guest on it. You've recorded it or you just know you're going to? I'm recording it this upcoming Sunday or Monday. Cool. That's fine.

On Thursday. So, yeah. Sweet. Speaking of Harrison, I think our roommate Luke gave him COVID. So it's coming for me. It's just a matter of time. I'm going to stand my ground, though. I'm so confident you've had it and you just like were asymptomatic.

It just didn't affect you too much. Yeah. There's no way you haven't had it. I agree as well. Honestly, I slept 14 hours last night, so I could have had it yesterday. I was really tired. It was like 8 p.m. I was like, well, I mean, yeah, the symptoms are like fatigue and I haven't had any fatigue. I'm very well rested. I slept 14 hours. Can't get it if you don't get tested.

I couldn't fall asleep or couldn't wake up last night. So it was amazing. I haven't done that in a long time. Yeah. Fell asleep at eight. Didn't set an alarm. Like how long can I possibly sleep? Woke up at 10 a.m. morning i was like oh boy my back hurts really just from being horizontal that long that's one of the stand-up bits that i have maybe i've talked about yeah yeah i'm scared to go to bed like i don't know like that that's the bed is one of the things that hurts me the most in life so i wake up with a neck injury and a back injury so anyway good stuff. Um, go see, y'all are the best,

such a fun community. I feel like I get reminded of it every week. Even Derek, he's kind of, I don't know if he really listens to the podcast, but he just sees, he sees the Facebook group. He sees the comments.

Yeah. He sees the engagement we get. And he's like, this is awesome. Cause you know, he's more on the correct opinions team. So he's always trying to figure out like, how do we,

how do we get what you guys have? This is crazy. Yeah. And the answer is it's really hard to explain. Like, I don there's i don't think it's like oh you just act like this and do this kind of stuff and people it's like no you just have to find the right people that really love you and yeah i don't know that you guys are you guys are the reason so that's great i guess all of you listen to correct opinions and that's how you get it but if you're gonna be in virginia beach holler at me let's play some golf during the day or let's go just take a selfie after a show they have water on Virginia Beach I don't
