Hey, happy Monday, everybody. It's a new week, baby. And we got Scott back live in the studio. Scott's back. Come on. So fired up. Hanging out in the corner where he belongs. Yeah, yeah.

What was the comment you were just reading me? Not about Scott. Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah. Do not read me any comments about Scott. Well, let me explain the background of it first. So our friend, Kirstie Swick, runs the Ghost Runners on Second fan page for the Instagram. Very active Instagram account. Very active.

The last post was about fundraising for Christmas last year. The most recent post was about fundraising for Christmas this year. Oh, I didn't realize she posted. And so, yeah, she... If you guys don't know, she's had this Instagram account before Brad and I had an Instagram account with Ghost Runners. Correct. And we didn't know who it was for the longest time. And it was amazing.

Yeah, it was so funny. It was like that i remember that feeling i'll be chasing that feeling the rest of my life being like what is going on here yeah because like all right someone out there has made an it's very account and they're funnier than we are and they know who we are and they're making jokes about us and they're like yeah it's like it's like yeah the first like four posts go back to them they They're electric. I mean, yeah, that was before we were really getting any reviews before we were getting like much feedback at all. And it was like, holy cow. Uh, anyway, so she posted one video saying, uh, the, the, uh, the idea that the intention behind the video was, Hey, uh, send us some money. If you would like to contribute to this fundraiser last year, they raised a bunch of money last two years for compassion, children, compassion international.

Um, so this year, uh, she posted a real, and I mean, it was, she even said on there, it was like, this is pretty halfheartedly done. Uh, but you guys get the picture or something like that. And it was literally just a bunch of pictures of your engagement that I think you posted. Okay. And then the one, wherever it looked like you were like, you know, opening up the ring box, uh, to propose to Rachel was a picture of the compassionate international kids. Okay. And so it was like, Hey, fundraise for this, you know, so we can do, you know, we can, we can raise more money for these kids. And it's such a cool thing. Uh, yeah. Mariah Carey. All I want for Christmas is you. Um, okay. So that makes more sense all she wants for christmas is like yes yes yes got it so then this woman i'm gonna go ahead

and say her name because it's just funny katie who her name is katie klein uh last name too all right because i i put yeah her name is katie k line and uh yeah i uh because i posted on our instagram all this stuff like hey if you want to contribute this is a really cool thing that we're doing uh she responded and said, would love to hear more about how Jake incorporated compassion into the proposal. So cool. So Jake, are you a really thoughtful, like generous charitable guy, or were you just thinking about yourself and Rachel in that moment? Um, okay. Yeah, no, this is, this is great. I'm glad to have this platform to talk about. Cause on the bonus episode, I forgot to bring up how the compassion children, which I okay yeah no this is this is great i'm glad to have this platform to talk about yeah yeah because

on the bonus episode i forgot to bring up how the compassion children which i was curious why you didn't right well we only had 30 minutes oh okay yeah you run out you're like later like ah i mean i literally book into the engagement at the beginning and the end so yeah so can you tell me just a little bit more about like i mean just go ahead so compassion was a acrostic right like and you had a different word it was it was going to be oh it was going to be and then i couldn't figure out that second s so i was like forget this yeah yes let's do something differently instead um i thought it'd be a fun way to tell rachel hey um not only like death do us part

you want to be together forever you want to start sponsoring a compassion child again so when i opened the box uh a lot of people think i said will you marry me uh-huh not the case i threw in i threw out a few hints of what we she was actually signing up for okay and i yeah yeah yeah processing uh-huh yep and i i said i was like does this seem a little sudan suddenly we were engaged you're gonna love it uh yeah uganda wonder where i got this from My interest is Mosampict Scott's back baby

Happy Monday Happy Monday Uh oh I think this tight beat means that it's going down With some random thoughts and white meat too Midwest best friends eating fast food on repeat So come along let's have some fun And go ahead get on your feet

Cause this is the Ghost Rubs Podcast. Anyway, yeah, Scott is back. Good puns um which are neither here nor there but um it was funny because i forgot i mean it had to be in the first year of podcasting i brought up uh or maybe you brought up this old idea i had i mean pre pre-podcast pp um my blood diamond idea oh yeah and i forgot about it and i got so many comments from ghosties like was it a blood diamond oh my gosh i forgot about that quick rundown was I wanted to, this is an idea I had like, I mean, probably seven, eight years ago,

was completely fund an engagement ring. Even before I met a girl that I wanted to propose to, just fund an engagement ring by selling my plasma and all the money goes into one account and then I buy the engagement ring. It's called my blood diamond. Who doesn't love a good word play on engagement day? Suddenly?

Suddenly? Suddenly, yeah. And then I fell and it was like malawi people always ask me why yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah no no people always ask me uh why i drive an electric car i'm like well look at brad's truck yeah i bet he's pretty mad a gas car costs so much i was i was waiting for it i was like where is he going uh blood diamond yes yeah so blood diamond was not a blood completely forgot about it

i think i'd also talked at one point about how the entire diamond industry is so corrupt and it's so like fake and then and i remember you saying on the podcast you're like good luck finding a girl who's down to not having a diamond ring but scott you sam doesn't have a diamond ring correct there are diamonds in her ring but the primary stone is not a diamond it's called morganite morganite it's like a it's like a pinkish hue to it. And was it her or you that Rwanda to do that one? She Rwanda to do it. Okay. I said, I don't know.

Moroccan. My socks off. Oh yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah.

I would love nothing to just chill and go lay by the beach. Angola! Alright! Angola! Let me help you with this one. I did not get that one either. I got it. That's how you pronounce it. Can you pronounce it the right way? You gotta manipulate

it sometimes. Ethiopian box of cookies. That's how you say Ethiopia. Or you could just South African word. All right. Closing out. I've really tempted. I think we all thought we were going to start this podcast by making puns with

the names of African countries. We said, Hey, this is how we're going to start this thing. Yeah. Anyway. Yeah. Scott,

we doing good? Doing great. I can't tell you how excited I am to just be here in person. Yeah. This is how we're going to start this thing. Yeah. Anyway. Yeah. Scott, we doing good? Doing great. I can't tell you how excited I am to just be here in person. Yeah. This is fun. It's been a while. How is minor league pickleball? Give us an update.

Minor league pickleball was a trip, man. It was. It wasn't a vacation. It was a trip. It was a trip. It was a trip, but in a good way. Honestly, I had a lot of fun. I was listening to the podcast i got to the

part just yesterday um from last week's episode where brad said he was nervous for me like me being nervous oh yeah yeah spot on yeah i'm absolutely a mental weakling yes on the pickleball court and i used to i don't think i used to deal with it as much with pickleball jake has seen it on the golf course golf course that's a that ship has long sailed i'm a mental yeah but um yeah it was pretty i mean we played a ton of matches and all of them were like high pressure high stakes and so it was like a very nervy tournament but um we ended up going four and four as a team okay finished sixth out of 12 nice but that put us in second place in like the consolation bracket so as a team okay finished sixth out of 12 nice but that put us in second place in like the consolation bracket so as a team we won 650 dollars yo you won money playing pickleball

you are officially like a professional pickleballer yeah basically yes so what on your taxes this year you're gonna have to claim that yeah we're gonna have to add that other income was it other like basically other like metropolitan cities brought their teams right so it's kansas city versus yeah do you have like a big like rivalry with like charleston south carolina i wish it was more like city guys yeah yeah those jerks up in madison wisconsin um no there weren't there were a few teams that like everybody was from the same city but i also came across a bunch that people were from all over and they just knew each other through pickleball we obviously were proudly representing kansas city we're representing chicken and pickle just paddles you know kansas

city-based uh-huh originated companies um but yeah we it was fun we uh the whole trip was sponsored i mean it flights rental cars cars, lodging, food. Like, I didn't pay a dime this whole last weekend for this. That's so fun. He doesn't pay and change often, so I wouldn't look at it. I got changed clanging around in there. Trying to think of what else. Got to know a lot of, like, Jack Oxler is hilarious, dude. I got to peel back the layers of.

Tell us who that is real quick. I think we talked about him on the podcast before, maybe i would be willing to bet most people listening don't know who it is yeah go ahead guys yeah he's the he's a very he's the director of pickleball at chicken and pickle here in kansas city he's a teacher but he's like very reserved and i got to see him not being reserved oh nice lucid i don't know he's a teacher good for jack we um everybody had like a pump up song that they posted on like a player profile on the just paddles instagram page and his was uh grove street party by waka flaka flame and so on the way to dinner one night i was like all right we're all gonna listen to everybody's uh pump up songs yeah we turned on that song and jack was going nuts really

an older guy yeah but not like he's like 40 46 or something outside of the realm of Waka Waka Flame, I think. Yeah, that's fair because I don't even know who Waka Waka Flame is. Yeah, he was he was going hard to some Waka Waka Flame. Yeah, flame. Yeah. But yeah, it was it was fun. You have plans to do it again sometime soon.

Yeah. So the weird thing is, is the guy that put the trip together is very close now with the owner of Major League Pickleball, Steve Kuhn, who's a billionaire. So we actually got to have dinner with him Sunday night, like just our teams plus him. So it was kind of crazy to like sit down on the table with a billionaire who's at the forefront of pickleball. Would you rather have like dinner with Steve Kuhn or one of the other owners like LeBron James? LeBron James. Tom Brady. Yeah. forefront of pickleball would you rather have like dinner with steve coon or one of the other owners like lebron james yeah i feel like everyone's kevin durant gary v they're all getting

into it it was it was kind of awkward though because at the very end of the night apparently he got somebody saw that he got like an email or a text on his phone and he kind of like was like all right i gotta go guys bye and like got up and left. Billionaire problems. Yeah. But. Whoa, did you say B? B. Billionaire. Oh, he's a millionaire.

No, he's a huge deal. Billionaire. Yeah, he's. What's he rich from? Hedge funds. Oh, yeah. That's easy enough to replicate. Get some hedges.

Why don't we do hedge funds? Prune some hedges. I haven't. I just didn't want to. But now if you want to, I will. I hate landscaping. But if I can be a billionaire. Yeah. Just having that much money from landscaping yeah so we've over the weekend the news broke that there's a a a competing league to major league pickleball coming out now that's

sponsored by another pro league bring it on competition's good i saw it's called vibes right vibe pickleball it's kind of funny yeah it's can vibes like wait just one vibe just vibe nah that's not gonna do all right yeah if it was vibes i would be all in on yeah the first owner that they announced today is mark cuban so pretty big fish as your first owner that's fine yes but all the the only vibe goes to mark now i guess you can't have any other yeah exactly Yeah, exactly. It's vibe. One vibe Mark. Like if I were Mark Cuban, I'd be like, guys, I'm out. I took the vibe.

Yeah. For those reasons, I'm out. I have a quick quiz for you guys. Okay. So there's these two guys there. They're both very good, accomplished pickleball players. They're very goofy guys. Really?

Pickleball players aren't like the coolest ones? Very goofy guys. Their schtick is kind of like being really obnoxious and yelling, like, come on, let's go, like every single point that they score. And it really is just like get under the skin of their opponents, basically. Interesting. That does sound obnoxious. It's extremely obnoxious you would die i feel like those are the kind of guys

that really yeah yeah act like you've been there just like chill out no and i told that to like i didn't play them our other team did i was like i would lose my mind if i played those guys good tactic on them though yeah and they're also notorious for like not knowing the score and then asking like am i the correct server what's the score and like just creating a bunch of disruptions in the game interesting you think that's like all part of the mental oh yeah it's it's totally calculated i like it a little bit i i like i don't like that they're doing it necessarily but i like the i the challenge of being with them and messing with them back yeah yeah like they yell and i'd be like hey what

do you say sorry sorry who who goes when you say let's go do you mean me as well let's get where are you guys going later you're going to vomino's just want to listen to some walk a flock of flame on the way yeah like just like like making them embarrassed almost about what they're doing yeah yeah anyway so one let me paint you the picture one guy short squatty, squatty, overweight, jetty and eddy. Yes, basically. Other guy, tall, Asian, balding. Where's the headband?

OK, fun kind of picture. So they chose a very interesting mid match or like in between matches snack. And I want you guys to guess from a list of four options of what they were snacking on. Can we can we just really quickly guess without the options? Sure. Nachos. Okay. With cut up hot dogs on top.

But instead of nacho cheese, it's chocolate syrup. Okay. Is that weird enough for you guys? I was going to go with turkey leg. Not just any turkey leg. From Six Flags. Yeah. Like they have it in a cooler.

Yeah, whatever. Dry ice. Six Flags Austin. Good. They got it. No, it's a good guess. They're known for Six Flags in Austin. Okay, here's your options. Alright. One of them is each eating one of these things. Stare me in the face while you give me options. That's how I know when you're lying. I'll look at Brad while you look at Scott. Okay, good.

Bag of spaghetti and a loaf of french bread that's that's one option no he's saying each of them is eating one of them yep so i'm gonna list one head spaghetti one has one thing one has the other okay bag of spaghetti loaf of french bread okay that's awesome corn on the cob kombucha okay awesome awesome very austin two foot long polish sausage two foot long 24 inches yes okay you know those ones you get in like the plastic that are like u-shaped yes oh ring baloney yep ring sausage okay um and uh a full bag of lace chips okay Last one is Fun Dip and a box of Fruity Pebbles. Those are all fun. All of them are shocking that they ate that in between pickleball matches.

I commend you for those options. Those are great. Yeah, those are great. I wanted to throw you off the scent. Well done quiz. All right. Fun Dip and Fruity Pebbles. Yes.

I think Scott made that one up. I think the correct answer. I really want this to be the answer is spaghetti and a loaf of bread no that's like just in the middle like you are so sweet you are drenched a lot of the other team is changing their shirt because they're so soaked and you're eating spaghetti no these guys he said he said the guy's balding and the guy's pudgy like that was those guys are doing things to to make that happen to them and so i think it's fun dip and fruity pebs you guys are both things to make that happen to them. So I think it's Fun Dip and Fruity Peps. You guys are both wrong.

Okay, okay, okay, okay, okay, okay, okay. I choose B. I choose B. Remind me, we got Lay's potato chips and something else. And the roller sausage. Yeah. And then what was the other one? Corn on the cob and kombucha.

You choose Booch? Booch, Cobb. It is Austin. Are they from Austin? No. Where are they from? Korea. I think they're from Minnesota? No. Where are they from? Korea. I think they're from Minnesota or Wisconsin. One of those two.

Minnesota's not Booch in. I'm going Lay's in Polish. Brad is correct. Dang it. Yeah. Neil had a full-size bag of Lay's potato chips. He turns it upside down because apparently it's better for crumbs. He was eating it out of the other side of the bag.

And Jerry was straight up eating a like these guys are psychopaths. A ring Polish sausage like it was like an ice cream cone, like just peeling back the plastic and just gnawing on the thing. What sausage, dude? That's awesome. And I have photo proof of it. So I'll show you guys. I'm convinced I'm convinced I don't even like doing those things. nawn on the thing what sausage dude that's awesome and i have photo proof of it so i'll show you guys i'm convinced i'm convinced i don't even like doing those things i'm convinced that

they're like they're like disciplining themselves throughout the year like we're gonna freak people out by doing this because like yeah the ocd in me is like don't eat that upside down that kills me that the the writing is upside down on that thing i don't like that you know and then the polo sasha thing is just ridiculous when i saw he was eating that i i told matt the guy we were with i was like okay we need photo evidence of this so he walked to the other side of the championship court and they were sitting on this side and was acting like he was videoing like the match and then he just zoomed in and took a picture of him see once again wrong move matt you just go up to him and just take a picture right in front of

their face and embarrass the heck out of them you take a picture and you say let's go let's go as you're taking it yeah you guys know what the score of the game over there is anyway that's a fun quiz so yeah i'll show you the pictures it's it was shocking um speaking of pickleball a guy who was once brought up about two and a half years ago on the podcast and was once brought up recently uh via a little um wager between brad and scott has come up again in our lives oh yeah i was like this um yeah he's been brought up a few times on the podcast we there's really not much of a story here this is just the this is there's a story somewhere that we don't know yeah you'll get the rest of a story here. This is just the, this is, there's a story somewhere that we don't know. Yeah. You'll get the rest of the story when it happens.

Basically just out of nowhere, unsolicited. He doesn't follow us. He used to follow me and now he didn't follow me anymore. But anyway, Tyson messages, the ghost runners Instagram account, very active account,

much like Christie's. Oh yeah. And just says, hello gents. What's up gents. What's up gents. No, no punctuation.

Like a freak. What's up gents. Punctuate yourself next time. T Mac. So, and so I said, what's up gents no no punctuation like a freak what's up punctuate yourself next time t mac so and so i said what's up tyson so you ready to come on the podcast which would be just hilarious just electric we would do guys we got open up the episode guys the biggest episode ever. We got Tyson, McGuffin. Thumbnail. Scott would love it. Oh, yeah. Tall, balding Asian would love it. I mean, that one.

What was the magazine or the article? Whatever that called him the most. It was Barstool Sports. Really? That called him the most electrifying man in sports. They're a reputable company. Like, whatever they say is always right. Good journalism.

High class journalism. Yeah. So we would have to hide that. Oh, it'd be so funny to interview a pickleball player on the podcast and just treat him like he walks on water this weekend. I'm going to try and get a picture with him for you guys. What are you doing this weekend? I'm going to Dallas for the Texas open pickleball tournament leaving

tomorrow. Are you just going to watch? No, I'm playing. Oh, okay. Yeah. So wait,

so is he playing in it as well? Yeah, he'll be playing pro. I'm not playing pro. That's just kind of interesting about pickleball. You just kind of compete right next to the pros. You're kind of walking. You're sharing concession stands with them.

Yeah. Sure. Pretty close. You know, yeah, well, you get one and I'll get the other. Most mean the middle. Yeah. To like two feet. So plenty for each movie.

Lady in the tramp. That's right. Very good. The Polish sausage. But yeah, it's disgusting. I need. Yeah. You need to like make the contact for us. Like, you but yeah that's disgusting i need yeah you need to like make the contact for us like yo what's this what are you doing what's up jent yeah say what's up with you jent jent singular i like the idea of yeah just calling people jent yeah no i'll talk to him though i wonder if he's got like an influx of followers or people

messaging him they're like, found you from. I think so. I think so. For sure. Guarantee you. I think so. I think that's what it is. We are that popular.

No, we're huge. There's no way I did. I did find out this weekend, though, that he like confirmed he bought 40,000 followers. I told I told everyone that I knew it. That was going to be one of the questions. I have Zach. Zach Taylor has the inside scoop on a lot of like the inner workings of pro pickleball and he's like oh yeah one day he had like 13 the next day

he had 50 yeah like yeah how do you do that like or how much does that cost you know i mean there's all sorts of sketchy websites that offer it i've never done it so i don't know how much it costs you don't have any idea it's definitely not what you should do well because it drives down because it's obvious the engagement. Like it looks, your Instagram looks terrible. Right. Cause all of a sudden,

yeah. Tyson allegedly has 60,000 followers, but he's getting less than a thousand likes. It's like, Oh, now you look even worse than if you just had, you know, 10,000.

Well, but these days sometimes you don't even see how many people like your stuff. Right. Some people can turn that off, which if you're in his position, you probably would not want to, if you're trying to get brand deals. I don't know.

Whatever. Doesn't matter. Fun. Scott, thanks for the pickleball updates. How do you feel? I texted you the other day and you didn't respond. It was in the guillotine league group chat. I said, Jake, are you like super engaged or not engaged at all? You didn't ever say. Oh, wow. I never even saw that. So that explains why I didn't respond. And it was in the guillotine league group chat. And I said, Jake, are you like super engaged or not engaged at all?

You didn't ever say. Oh, wow. I never even saw that. So that explains why I didn't reply. I'm pretty active in the guillotine group chat. So sorry I didn't respond to that. Brad, I made it through the guillotine this week again. Brad got close though.

I did. Brad was on the chopping block. You guys are both still alive. Yeah. It was on Halloween night was like when we were, yeah, the last game. And all of us still had were yeah the last game and all of us still had players in the last game i think in and so i was gonna go to bed it was a long day

finally got the kids about like nine o'clock and i was like oh i gotta stay up and watch this dang football game to make sure i don't get kicked out of the guillotine league but uh all i have to say is was a writer Ryder Burdett? Yep. Hey, Ryder Burdett. Do-do-do-do. Also, Cole Ford. Cole Ford 87. Do-do-do-do. Cole 87 Ford, I believe, actually.

Good. Cole 87 Ford. Do-do-do-do. Great. But we made it through. We're through for another week and yeah i feel um i feel somewhat engaged everyone likes to ask like how you how you feel and it's like oh that weekend was really fun but now it's kind of just kind of back to normal i don't know i don't have anything to look at yeah that's true yeah i've heard of guys like getting something for themselves and i always think that's kind of hokey for themselves. Like, Oh, I spent all this money on her.

So I'm going to get myself brand new pair of shoes. I'm like, Oh, I don't know. That's the point. I didn't think of it that way. Oh, really a one-to-one.

If that's, if you think marriage is like you get something, I get something always keeps going to be a fun time. I've said that. Yeah. Yeah. Um, but you definitely went from like,

I, I respected like the fact that you went from like the, you know, the high of engagement to like let's grind out a house project together yeah it was about a 13 14 hour work day yeah um obviously awake and doing stuff for much longer than that but just working you got through emotionally I think that the physical aspect yeah anybody can do the house project but the emotional aspect I think sometimes is what really wears on right you? You agree with that, House Projects?

I feel like Catherine and I just butt heads so much. Yeah. We had so much help. Everyone was so nice and so friendly. We all love each other. You know, it's great. Well, I love Catherine. I'm going to say, you know, we had like nine people in here and everyone's getting along and having fun.

Yeah. It's funny. The emotions got better as it went. The vibe was up. Singular vibes. Solo, you know, different vibes. All great. I mean, my dad, I don't know if he took a break working all day yeah it was incredible having him and steve coop a couple farmers working rachel's brother tommy that dude works you need to get tommy down here

said i appreciate you said congrats that's awesome so i really do appreciate every single one of those like comments like i i tried to look at them all and the ghosties are so nice is that the strategy is like wait four or five days because then like it's not like you're just scrolling through the comments as much like you know yeah like did you do the happy belated birthday kind of thing like perhaps i'll let you know okay um i'll think about it next time i have massive news yeah yeah but yeah so everyone was just so nice and i was just very especially in comparison to like correct opinions came out yesterday right posted that I was engaged three people said congratulations and two of those were ghosties

on the oh on the Instagram or on their on the YouTube like on the YouTube seriously which is nothing against their listeners it's more of just pro pro ghost runners listeners it's a little against their listeners I'm just saying I'm thankful for you guys i'm gonna comment i'm gonna comment congrats only on that one i don't i'm not i'm gonna take away my comments on the other ones uh yeah dude have you guys planned anything yet like have you started yeah we got a date we got a venue yeah um wow we got moving yeah i i can yeah we're moving you got a house a date and a venue yeah i got a got a house. What else do you need? I have like a video guy already in mind.

I've got I had a lot of stuff planned before I even met a girl. Yeah, things I wanted in my wedding. Right. You know, just different stuff. So, yeah, I'm ready to roll. It seems easy. It's easy when you find a girl that's like, yeah, do whatever you want. Yeah.

Yeah, it's great. Yeah, I trust you. Go ahead. I'm like making decisions and she likes watching me make decisions. I really like making Rachel make decisions. That's my new favorite thing. So yeah, you're still in the phase with Rachel of like, let me try and help you. And I'm in the phase of like, I don't understand. Yeah, she's done.

It's too long. She's too far gone. I'm focusing my effort. I'll tell you why. now I'm focusing my efforts. My efforts with Rachel are gone, are now on building different kinds of habits. Cause I know she's going to be indecisive the rest of her life. So I've given up on that. Yeah. The effort, the habits I'm trying to build now are on like, um, setting herself up for success when it comes to like time management or like just having systems in place. I'm trying to get her to have more systems in place. Probably a lost cause as well.

I'm like, has it ever crossed your mind to like put your purse in the same spot every day? She's like, no. I'm like, maybe think about it. You don't have to, don't, you know, just jump in, but start thinking about someday maybe having a spot for your purse. That could be fun.

You don't have to ask me where it's at every day. Oh, I love it. Yeah, I bet the phrase that I have used in marriage more than anything else is, you should write it down. You should write it down. Like Catherine, I think rolls her eyes so much because I'm like, did you write it down?

She's like, oh, I forgot something, blah, blah, blah. I'm like, well, you should write it down next time. Like have it or just have some kind of document of like, yeah, write it down. And she started to try to get a little bit of systems in place, but now I think she just writes it down in 15 different places. And so it's like she just doesn't have a master note. I'm like, well, you can always use your phone.

And then she does that and whatever. It doesn't matter. I see what you're saying. I don't think that my intentions behind having Rachel decide are to better her. I think they are to entertain me. I like watching her squirm a little bit of like, I don't want to decide,

or like she'll say something and then she'll just look at you like, is that the right answer? Like, do I do the right thing? Is that okay? You just try to choose like a quick dinner for the four of us. Brad's like, Rachel, you have to decide.

She's like, no. No, no, no, no. Like she gets like really excited. She's like, no, no, please, no, no, no. I don't want to do that. 10 minutes later goes by and she's like, OK, fine. I will. I will throw out some options.

Pull. Does it start with the C? Doesn't have to be. Doesn't have to be. Yeah. Like, I don't know what you guys had for lunch. Well, do I need to say more? Do you guys like to pull?

You know? Yeah. It's. Yeah. Yeah. We gave her. I let her off the hook the first time i was like okay fine give us three options we'll choose one of them this time i was like you are picking the option but then in my head i'm like i think she just picked that up she picked chick-fil-a and i was like i think she just picked that because jake and i like that so much yeah which is probably what i would do too it's fine she's great she's great i lost uh at one point over 100 followers from announcing i was engaged kind of fun oh really you tracked that uh yeah well i know

i was at 43.2 when i announced it and then when i woke up the next day i was at 43.1 wow kind of fun a lot of disgruntled ladies out there yeah i think ladies are you like i can't follow this guy anymore if i know i can't have him i can't see him anymore i can't he can't pop up my feed oh yeah he's taken i was told rachel i was like i i think that's kind of fun she's like why you you lost your followers i was like because think about it from their perspective because once you unfollow me because of that it's like you could theoretically say they were only following me because they thought they were gonna marry me and when they saw that they weren't going to marry me they're like this guy has no value to me i don't follow and i was like those are the kind of people i don't care if they

follow me anyway so you think that's why i don't have 43 000 followers is because of that you're not uh yeah you're not like i've never been single on instagram on them that that's imagine if you were i'm just gonna say this and this is not going to be fun to hear and this is gonna be pretty blunt this is just incredibly stupid of you what to be married i'll be honest like marriage was like the worst decision you've ever made your life take it from me that was just i mean as far as your business and your brand goes you could not have done anything oh man yeah they're always like i would buy a tail from that guy but he's married he's so married So unfollow him out at Alice custom creations, Instagram.

And yeah, just get out of there. Just know that you made the wrong decision and that's going to haunt you financially. I'll tell Catherine, I'll be like, Hey, do you mind just like Jake and I talk,

taking a couple of your hiatus, you know, the business. Then you come back following. Yeah. Um, uh, thanks for, thanks for telling me, even though I didn't want want to hear it i knew you were not going to want to hear that but you did it anyway that's a true friend gotta be blunt sometimes yeah i went to home depot on uh

the morning of halloween this past week and i kind of forgot it was halloween until the woman helping me was in like an annie oakley outfit which that's the thing about home depot though is it didn't jump out at me at first i was was like, she's just kind of old-fashioned. She works with leather. Define Annie Oakley outfit. So the reason I know she was dressed as Annie Oakley is eventually she told someone else I'm dressed as Annie Oakley. I would not have known. I would say she looked a lot like Dr. Quinn Medicine Woman

if you're familiar with that show. Okay, sure. Like long brown kind of dress with like frills. Is it frills? I couldn't figure out. I figure out i was like krill no that's what whales eat you know there's little krills all over your dress you had like your underbelly um anyway so that's was like oh yeah it is halloween okay there were a few other people there dressed up i want to get your guys's opinion there was a guy helping me i took a

picture of it you don't need to see the picture you just take guys' opinion. There was a guy helping me. I took a picture of it. You don't need to see the picture. You just take my word for it. There was a guy helping me. Just an eyepatch. Nothing else? No other pieces of costume? Don't say a word. Was he in costume or not? No. No. No.

No way. Just an eyepatch. Yeah, there was no other details that seemed costume worthy. He did not have a sword sheathed on his hip. What's this guy? What's this guy buy? And what's he look like? You see anything else about him?

Oh, he works there. So it was the home. He's working there. Employees. Oh, he's working there. Yeah, he's got. Yeah, that was a. Yeah.

Yeah. It might have been like a low key Jim Halpert type of thing. Yeah. He's just being the eyeepatch version of himself. No, that was a, oh, I forgot to dress up. Well, I have an eyepatch if you want to wear it. Okay, sure. That's what it was.

Okay. That's believable too. I would have thought like any other place on Halloween, that's probably a costume. But the fact that you work at Home Depot, I was like, this guy, maybe he's had an accident. I honestly, I leaned more towards not a costume. I think, I mean, which Home Depot was it? Because I think I probably know most of the employees. South Olathe.

Oh, nope. That's a wild card for me. I was thinking you were going to say one of the ones around here. That must have been Jerry. Yeah. No, really. I was like, no, there's nobody with an eye patch. South Olathe, maybe.

Maybe. Okay. Yeah. I don't know. Yeah. i kind of forgot it was we flew home from austin on monday i forgot it was halloween until our gate attendant was cruella deville and i was like oh that's right sorry whoa i was laughing i was like what you were like i kind of forgot it was halloween until you know my co-pilot goose you know helped me land the plane and then i was like talk to me goose speaking of top gun um on the way down we got we got on the plane before we even took off the pilot was like it's gonna be a pretty bumpy flight we had a lot of weather on the way up here this is how i prepare yeah and and so like he's like we're just gonna go ahead

and keep the flight attendant seated this whole time. And so like when a pilot tells you that before you even go and it's like I'm in for some fun as a plane sleeper. I'm like, oh, this is a test. Yes. I'd be challenged to the turbulence. I have so much respect for you being able to sleep on a plane. We have. OK, well, we'll talk about it later. But anyways, we get up there and it is it is bumpy.

And I'm watching Top Gun in the dogfight scene at like the bumpiest part. It's like one of those simulated rides at like Disney World. Like talk about a 4D movie theater. Yeah, exactly. I'm literally like holding the screen up to my face. I'm like, tell me, Beth, tell me where he is. Screaming, looking out the window over the wing. I see him.

It was pretty funny. It was a good distraction because I don't I don see him it was pretty funny it was a good distraction because i don't i don't care for turbulence so it was a good distraction for it i literally just pretended i was like in a fighter jet right there like some people like turbulence not me i'm one of those weirdos like big fan of chocolate love pizza hey turbulence i'll do anything to avoid turbulence. If someone says, hey, which flight do you want to be on? The one with turbulence or without? I always go without the turbulence.

The phenomenon returns to paramount plus the only way we go home is together from new season now streaming exclusively on paramount plus uh another little update from this week i've been having all sorts of um accounting issues uh between me and my account trying to get like different it doesn't matter what i was trying to get but just like keep running into like dead end after dead end with

different stuff. And we found out the cause of the whole time. I've been worried. Like I did something wrong. I filed something wrong. I am so sorry. We found out. So I have an LLC for myself.

And I recently filed an LLC for ghost runners, probably about three years too late, but we're in now. We got it. The reason we weren't able to find employee identification numbers. All this stuff was missing. We couldn't figure out why. Call the IRS. They can't figure it out. We eventually found out both of

the... Wait, can I guess? Sure. You want to guess the error? Or like the... Yeah, sure, sure, sure. It's a very simple guess, but you're making it sound like it's going to be a simple fix. So my simple guess is that they put Jake instead of Jacob. Oh, go ahead.

Fun guess. Fun guess. Okay. Both LLC names that I came up with for the businesses had previously been used in the state of Kansas and then expired. Oh, okay. Obviously, I don't think it's...

Well, no, we're not supposed to say our LLC just in case. Yeah, I found out. My accountant was like, hey, by the way, you probably shouldn't just tell everyone the name of your llc because then they can like that's publicly registered like then they'll just know your address yeah okay uh but yeah our our llc is a pretty generic name and i've never seen it and i was like that's crazy that no one has that and i was like nope all ours awesome like acme podcasting yeah it was just yeah it was just called video no one had taken that before um yeah i thought that was wild i was like is that comment like what are the like both

of the ones that i chose both had been reviews previously and recently like expired or forfeited or whatever it's always in like this weird limbo so yeah i thought that was kind of fun and also i didn't screw up so i was excited about that yeah kind of fun quinky dink that's good uh let me tell you some things about my week i i think i alluded to this on the bonus episode because my mom was watching our kids but uh yeah i had the kids all by myself this past weekend but then i it was kind of like an asterisk because i went to my mom and dad's house for like two nights so it was like okay oh they're so not big daddy no no no no yeah very very small normal daddy yeah yeah man i mean just every time i'm with the kids for an hour by myself i'm like katherine's a saint like she's wonderful uh and

honestly like the kids were really really fun and not that hard but i think it was because i had my guard up literally the entire weekend of like i always need to be thinking three hours ahead like always trying to like i was like write that down write that down think three hours ahead um i was i was like literally like making lunch as they were finishing up breakfast practice fun like i was like why not have it ready have it ready because then once once rosie gets up it's way harder to make lunch for all of them you know whatever all this different stuff so um it was fun and then halloween came uh hattie was shirley temple specifically little miss broadway shirley temple which is a movie that's really temples in cool um and she was supposed to curl her hair katherine was like really like we have to curl her hair for this that's shirley

temple's thing and i was like this is probably one of those stupid guy things but i was like, really like we have to curl her hair for this. That's Shirley Temple's thing. And I was like, this is probably one of those stupid guy things. But I was like, there's probably like a Pinterest hack out there somewhere where you can like spray some vinegar in her hair overnight and it'll just curl up or something. Right. So what if we put a macaroni or like a glue stick and you wash that out? She just kind of laughed. She's like, that's not how. No, I don't think there's anything like that.

So luckily Catherine came home by the time that all happened so she curled the hair bow was a cowboy just such a boss of a cowboy i love some chaps on he had chaps and he had uh my mother-in-law's and she's in her 60s her like childhood cowboy boots wow they were dope they were so cool yeah and he had a little you know a little star on were so cool. Yeah. And he had a little, you know, a little star on his vest. He had a hat and he had a gun. One of my old guns from my, you know, growing up. That's like one of the most like fun things about going back to your parents' houses, your kids as they discover and love all of your old toys. It's like, oh yeah, I remember how this worked. Let me show you how this Power Ranger thing works. You know,

something like that. So your parents, they still have Power Ranger stuff. I think specifically my mom would always be like, well, I'm going to be a grandma someday. So I'm going to keep this stuff. Yeah. Talk about thinking three hours ahead. Um, yeah, that's where I get it for sure. We were all trying to go out to dinner for Isaac's birthday on Halloween. And so we were in a group text. Oh yeah. Gunner like group FaceTimed all of us was gunner move, which is always helpful. Yes. Um, but anyway, Brad answered with bow on his shoulders and it was awesome. Yeah. It was awesome. I, yeah. I remember at one point, yeah,

my mom and my sister saw that I was group FaceTime with you guys and they talked for like 30 seconds straight and I get done and I was like, so did you guys hear any of that? Or it was like, look at my friends on here. Yeah. Oh, Hey guys. get done and i was like so did you guys hear any of that or yeah it was like you're like look my friends on here yeah yeah oh hey guys i was like okay guys uh but yeah it was so fun halloween's just so fun it just like obviously this is like a really obvious thing um obviously uh but like going up to somebody's like going up to i don't know it feels it feels more weird when you're a parent like literally like here's my kid, give him candy.

And then they give it to you and you just walk away and say, thank you. The transaction feels weird. I think because back in the day, candy equated, like equal just yummy food. Now it equals money to me. So it's like, you spent, you know, $20 on this candy that you're giving out. And I'm just, I didn't do anything. I mean, I just dressed up my son. I'm eating all your candy. Spoken like

someone who's still eating added sugar. I tell you. Right, guys? What a guy. I remember back. Oh, man. We trick-or-treated one house that had a cooler full of booze. They call it adult trick-or-treating. Booze. Was that in Kansas? It was in Missouri. Okay, cool.

Cool. It was just in frontansas it was in missouri okay cool cool um and it was just like in front of all the kids yeah it was literally cooler full of booze uh like bucket of candy for kids nice yeah i did not get any booze i did not booze no booze you lose guys no boo on halloween spooky anyway and then rosie Rosie was Rosie the Riveter and she got to, you know, our little family party that we had at my aunt's house.

She was awake for like 20 minutes and we put her down for a nap. So that was, that was great that we dressed her up like Rosie the Riveter

for that. That was pretty cool. That's the flexion. Yeah, like you can do it, you know, whatever. But the funniest thing

of the night is, you know, Hattie definitely is more spoiled by me than katherine i'm i say yes to so many things like like bo you know bo's like hey dad can i bring my basketball with me to take a nap and i was like yeah sure sure you know whatever who cares like yeah it's like a little tiny little ku basketball or something you kind of give a little you know rosie riveter back at him hey you can take a basketball yes you

can yeah whatever um you know and had to eat the same way like dad can i wear this i'm like sure we're just at my my mom's house whatever um anyway so then katherine gets home and katherine's definitely just a better parent than me and so says no to certain things and so we're we're home it's halloween at like 8 30 kids are you know the sugar high is worn off i don't know if you experience anything like this on like but it's just like yeah they're just they're crazy and they're having so much fun i haven't experienced it i wouldn't know um and hattie this these days for whatever reason has really struggled with like like things that are too mundane for her. Oh yeah, the routine. I was hearing little bits of this.

Very, very interesting. Like it gets like very upset when we ask her to go brush her teeth, wash her hands, go to the bathroom, you know, to end her night basically. Because she's like, I did this yesterday. She's like, I do that every night. And she starts like crying about it. She's like, why do I have to do that again? You know, I'm trying to explain it to her. And I think at first Catherine was there trying to about it. She's like, why do I have to do that again? You know, I'm trying to explain

to her. And I think at first Catherine was there trying to explain it. And Catherine had a lot, had a long day driving all the way back from Texas. And then she, you know, I'm like, it's one of those things where every once in a while it's like, Hey, let's, let's switch here. You go, you take care of Bo. I'll take like, I can tell you are, yeah, you are, you are on, you are on the verge. It's time to, it's time to switch. Right. You know what I'm talking about? Tag me in. Yeah. Like this is better for everybody, you know? So I'm sitting there in the bathroom with her. She's literally,

Hattie's literally like on the toilet, like refusing to go to the bathroom for whatever reason. Like she did it yesterday. I don't need to go. It's like, just try, you know? And then she's like crying and sobbing. And she just goes, the Halloween fun is over and it was the i i just laughed i started laughing right i was like i was like you're right it is over it is it is back to a normal nighttime routine it's not halloween it was just wonderful i mean do you remember like the the feeling like January 2nd when like all the fun, like holiday things.

The Christmas fun is over. Yeah. It's like, I'm not going to see my, like I saw my cousins like six out of the last seven days. It was so much fun. And it's like, I'm not going to see my cousins ever again. Oh yeah. I mean, even just like the first day of school is still a little exciting, but like the day

before that we were like the summer fun is over. Yeah. Yeah. And then going back to school after christmas yeah yeah oh yeah it's over it stinks but things are over it really does so how do i mean we we get it how do you like we we sympathize with you but you still have to wash your hands yes you will get sick yeah so anyway the halloween fun is over i mean just sobbing through the whole thing and i just was like laughing.

That's a funny conversation to have to navigate. I'm just like explaining like you need to like brush your teeth. There's gonna be a lot of things you have to do every day. Yeah. Honestly, it feels like when I have to tell Rachel to have systems in her life. Rachel and Hattie are probably the same. Like I found my phone yesterday. Now I gotta find my phone again.

It was one of those things where I was like, listen, there's certain things that we have to do every day, even if we don't want to, so that we can do all the other things like I was like because if you don't do these things you're not going to be healthy and if you're not healthy then you're going to be sick and if you're sick all the day like you just sit and sit around don't do anything and she kind of understood that and then she just goes but I don't want to then that's what's like I'm sorry you have to suck it up. Yeah. The Halloween fun is over. It's kind of an interesting question. As an adult, like what is your least favorite thing to do every day that you have to do?

Oh, I hate, I mean, just anything that I can't multitask. Brushing my teeth. Bummer. Yeah, we talked about, you can't multitask brushing. Oh, I multitask brushing my teeth big time. The only thing I've really found that works is I will like pick out an outfit in the morning while brushing my teeth. Like I can look at my clothes and choose what I'm wearing.

You can sit down and pee and brush your teeth. You could sit down. You can stand up. No, we've talked about this on the podcast, Brad. You can't. No, you can't. You can't. I'll say I can.

No. Yes, I can. Honestly. I can too. No, guys. I do it. Yeah. You get a base.

Get a base. Hey, steady hand. Number do it. Yeah. You get a base. Get a base. Hey, steady hand. Number one. Number one. I feel like I've tested this so many times. You can, as long as you brush your teeth on the same side of the mouth that your hand is on. But once you cross.

Make a Patreon video about this. You can't. Show us. I will do it like fully closed with like a pool noodle attached to it. You are going to be shocked. I'd rather, I'd rather not. You're like, I don't want the pool noodle. I'd rather you just have your pants off.

A pool noodle, huh? Somebody's happy. 24 inch sausage, huh? You guys would be shocked at how much... I'll have to pay you more for a fun dip. Anyway,

I refill my water bottle a lot when i'm brushing my teeth i walk me through the mechanics of that wait where you brush your teeth like in the sink in the in the you walk around yeah oh you're one of those freaks that thinks you can't walk around while you brush your teeth i like to stay in the bathroom that makes it hard to multitask on anything okay okay okay fyi it's hard to multitask with your poop it's like i can't i i can't change my car while i poop i don't know about you guys i don't think i have a lot of tasks to do in the morning outside of the bathroom like i don't really have breakfast i don't have a water bottle. So I probably don't have any desires outside of the bathroom. Those are the two things. No breakfast, no bottles. I need to shower. I need

to pee. I need to get dressed. I need to like do something to my hair. Oh, clean up the house, tidy up a little bit. I mean, it's, it's amazing what you can tidy up in 30 seconds to a minute, maybe two minutes. I don't know what 30 seconds is a pretty maybe two minutes i don't know what 30 seconds it's a pretty quick yeah brush i don't know how far how but honestly when you're outside the bathroom you're brushing more probably so scott that was a great question that really uh got us oh it's a good step you're asking what is the your least favorite like mundane task we had something something you have to do every day what's the worst part a long time ago we talked about like if we had a 60 second butler do you remember that oh yeah it was it was kind of those same ideas that's right that's probably

how we got talking about all this you know like taking the groceries inside for you or something like that yeah because i think i might have chose shaving because i hate doing that i don't i don't do this every day because i have a wonderful wife that's home more than i am but if i were home every day i would have to empty the dishwasher every day. And I do not like that. That's my answer. Okay. So empty the dishwasher. Yeah. Really don't like it.

I don't like flossing. That's mine. Oh, well, good for you for doing it, dude. It's the last time you floss. Talk to Hattie about,

you know, discipline. I don't floss. Do you, you guys don't do it often. Are you, are you a true flosser? Are you like one of those little pick guys?

Um, I've done both recently. I've been using the little picks and that's kind of nice because it always like when you're using regular floss it kind of slips out of your fingers it's kind of hard to keep it snug yeah this one it's the the line is very taut the whole time yeah very taut i mean when you when you start seeing some of the stuff you can pluck out of your teeth no after brushing your teeth it's like, toothbrushes don't do that. OK, this week, seven days in a row. I'm flossing. OK, you want to commit with me? No, I wouldn't.

I should not. Yeah, there's a little bit of sugar in the Listerine. So just try to be above reproach. Listerine sugar residue. The old Listerine floss. It's coated with Listerine flavoring. I thought. The old Listerine floss. It's coated with Listerine flavoring. I thought we were going to do this together, man.

We've always said that if one of us flosses, the other one flosses. I will do the floss dance every day. Yeah. While I'm brushing my teeth. I can't multitask this. You're telling me you can floss and pee at the same time?

That's a funny video. That's a funny G-Shorts video. Write it down. Write that down. Write that down. Write that down. Floss pee. Anyway, Halloween fun is over.

I'm going to make that Patreon video. I'm going to show you guys how much your hips move. It's wild. Your hips are moving. It's enough enough it's enough when you have a a bowl to aim for anyway that emotion anyway um i got to meet one of scott's co-workers yesterday um oh yeah i took a picture of him i said you know this guy he's like i've definitely seen him before um we went to you know had he's homeschool, but we do this co-op thing. It's called LCA.

We went to LCA's Donuts with Dad yesterday. Having had a donut. Donuts. Are those the ones that are flat you put syrup on? Or are those the ones? Donuts. I know. I don't know.

Where were the donuts from? I'm pronouncing it. I don't know where they're from. Dog nuts. We got there late because. Yeah. What are dog nuts? Dog nuts. We got there late because Hattie was having a meltdown.

And so we had to deal with that. And so I don't know what they were. But the idea was like, yeah, you eat donuts with dads. And then like four or five of them got up and like spoke about their jobs. I'm not saying guys, like, I understand that you have to provide for your family, but some of these guys, I'm like, do you hate your life? Like a little bit. Oh, interesting. Like, or maybe not hate your life, but just like, do you think, do you think that you're talking interesting words right now? Oh, I see what you're saying. Yeah. Like not hate your life. Yeah. That's way too extreme, but like just a, the, the, the job description they gave was just, it sounded

not very exciting and they didn't seem excited about it. It's like episode one of the office when Jim is like, uh, I would, um, you know, I'm boring myself just talking. Yeah. And then B granted the, the, the co-op goes from, you know, five-year-old Hattie all the way up to like junior high, high school kids. Look out. Yeah.

So, so I understand that there's older kids, but there's a lot of young kids and some of the words are thrown around. I'm like, read the room. You're not, you're not making like, they weren't even trying to make it like kid friendly.

I was, I was a little bothered. Honestly, I wanted to get up there and do something. work in uh procurement so uh logistics of uh strategy so i mean and this guy i think had a really cool job he like helps make a lot of the parts dfa no i didn't have a cool job at all no i'm just kidding uh no he had whatever i'll get to him but this guy was talking and he was talking about making like parts for nuclear bombs, I think, or nuclear something.

Good job, Kansas City. He's like, you know, we basically make everything, you know, all the parts around the bomb, all the stuff nuclear and a lot of it's proprietary, proprietary stuff, you know, and I've been there about a year now and we've just initiated uh you know 19 different facilities it's like how do you how do you understand a thing you're saying right now proprietary like yeah and then the dfa guy like that one was the one i mean he did a good job like better pretty probably the best one but still it's like every single one of these kids loves things that have milk in them.

Like come up and be like, who loves milk here? Who has milk? Yeah. Milk. Especially. Like LeBron James. I'll tell you what he does.

He's got it in his mouth. Takes a pool noodle. Yeah, there we go. Who wants to get noodled with my milk? Noodle is a verb. Just full elephant trunk with milk. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.

You like a yard sprinkler? Yeah. Yeah, I love it. I know my job is boring because i get that reaction anytime somebody asks like hey what do you do for a living and i try to explain to them like you go okay oh okay but if i'm going to a bunch of kids i'm at least thinking of something to like make this not interactive or at least relatable to like how does, how does my work impact you? Cause I think all these guys in the end, like they, they probably did impact like all of us, like in some way or another, you know, this guy's doing like national security stuff

with the nuclear stuff, you know, like this guy's, you know, working with DFA. He was like, he's a tech guy. So he works with all the trucks and all the logistics and all this stuff for all the facilities and whatever. But I'm like, dude, especially cause I know from you, Scott, like like milk is obviously not just literally milk like DFA. They have so many different things, you know, and literally candy bars have powdered milk that DFA sells.

Way protein. I would just be chucking Snickers at kids. Yeah. Like how excited. Yeah, whatever. And so I have decided if I get asked next year, I am donating with dad. I'm getting up there and I'm going to do something. Oh, yeah.

Live table making display. Something. Who knows? Socket in half. I mean, back together on your table. No, here's what you do is do one of those little satisfying oil things that you do where you that's that'll get the kids attention. You think so?

Stay at the table. See, I don't know, Scott. I think you might be one of one of the boring guys you know what you should do is just put oil on a boar like a flat board i don't know um i will i'm willing to give the nuclear weapons builder a little bit of a pass here i think that might be a little tricky to relate to like i'm imagining hattie like you know what a bomb is yeah i build I build those. Yeah, but at least you can be like, I don't know, talking about like being safe or like all the science goes into like making this. And if you don't make it exactly right, something bad would happen. I don't know.

Something to like at least like bring it down. You know ISIS? Like it was like, it was like, yeah. It kind of made me sad of like, do these dads not talk to their kids? Or maybe they had kids that were all 15 years old and i see what you're saying it makes you wonder about their just like their discretion not only just in this moment but how they're using it at all times yeah like do they not have the like social yeah like i wonder if this like some of these guys would have said

anything different if they were in a room of only adults like their presentation was the exact same and it was like oh i don't and bo was sitting with me like literally a two-year-old eating his donut just i'm happy as a lark things all the time just when you think about just how different people are and how people communicate so differently not even with kids but even just like you know i can be talked to someone who like clearly has a different life than me and they are not trying to relate what they do to me at all. They're just saying it how they would describe it to one of their coworkers or, you know, it's just anything where it's just like, I feel like old men are so guilty of this. Yeah. You know, they can't, I feel like the older you get, maybe

the less you can kind of like read body language or something. I don't know. It's like old men when they're talking to me, it's always like, you know, I took Denise to a spot like this one time. It was the year 1974 and it was a pizza or not quite. It wasn't quite pizza, but they did, you know, just like a story where it's just like, okay, okay. Okay. Like when do you lose that like ability to like, I don't know what it, I don't know what that word is or the ability to like I don't know what it I don't know what that word is or the ability to like

understand an audience it could be an audience of one or an audience of many like people some people just don't ever have it but I feel like it's a thing

you lose through time where you lose this ability to like cater how you communicate interesting yeah yeah I wonder if it's like partially like

since we're young and so we're we're so like entertained so often like I wonder if it's like partially like since we're young and so we're so like entertained so often, like I wonder if it's a little our fault. You think that could be like like we are so easily and quickly entertained that a story that is like not like easily relatable to us or going a little slow is like I'm now I'm out of this. Like this is this is rough for me. I don't know if we're more quickly entertained than other generations, but I think our attention span is shorter. What's the difference? I think you can be entertained.

I mean, I think a 1920s movie, you know, could entertain people really quickly because that was the format in the time. You didn't know any different. It's like, whoa, look at this movie. This is entertaining me right now, instantly. I will say, I don't know if this is like everything, but there's like no credits at the beginning of movies anymore.

Have you ever noticed that? Trey and I talk about this all the time. Like as much as we're learning about retention and what keeps people engaged, they need to stop doing that. I mean, you watch an old movie and you're like, oh my gosh. So you just proved my point.

No, I think they're still different. Unbiased third party. Attention span is different than being quickly entertained yeah i i agree attention spans are much shorter now because you look at like how you how we consume content it's like if you're not hooked in the first 10 seconds you're probably not going to keep watching like an instagram reel or youtube short or video or whatever so would you say that you'd be quickly entertained or not quickly entertained if you need to be entertained the first 10 seconds?

They're different words. They don't mean the same thing. Like being quickly entertained means that like something, you know, entertained you. And it like is different than the attention span of like wanting to like click away or move on. We have so many options that we're willing to bounce around. Okay, I'm done with Instagram. Let's go to TikTok. Okay. No, the TikTok go to YouTube. And I think that's different than just like being like a hundred years ago and be like, wow, this book is really interesting right now. I am quickly entertained by it, but their attention spans were way different. Gotcha. I think I disagree. I don't care enough to keep talking.

You don't think someone likes a book instantly back in the day? No, dude. Have you ever read like Jane Eyre? No, not now. Not now. I'm saying back then in its time, you don't think people were entertained by a book quickly? I don't know.

I don't, I guess not. No. Why not? Because I guess my standard now, so maybe back then, it's hard for me to truly put myself in their shoes, but like some of those old books, they had like pages and pages of imagery.

And like, that's not the most entertaining thing in the world to us right now. I know. That's what I'm saying. It's hard for me to like completely judge, but I don't think like I watched these like old Disney movies with like, with Hattie and Bo and yeah, there's seven minutes of

credits at the beginning of a movie I don't think that they're like watching like let's look at who who is the executive producer of this or you know whatever I don't think they're quickly entertained by that I think that's probably just a bad um piece of art I'm saying they had the ability to be quickly entertained hundreds of years ago. By good pieces of art. Yeah. Okay. I feel like Disney movies are kind of classic and very good pieces of art. But maybe. I don't even know what movie we're talking about.

I'm just saying like a movie with seven minutes. A movie with seven minutes of credits is a bad piece of art. Seven minutes of credits is wild. Whatever. I think, yeah, I think that's what it is. Let us know in the comments. Is there a difference between quickly entertained and having a short attention span why yeah why why are you going away from something in a short amount of time give me an example like you're saying like you're on twitter and then you're going to tick tock because you're not entertained. Correct.

I didn't know if you had more to say. Whatever. Let's move on. I have a farting story. Farting story? Farting. Cool. Scott's like, well, you have my attention. My attention is mose and peaked.

The other night it was just me at home with the kids. And yeah, I was, peaked uh the other night it was just me at home with the kids and yeah i was i was giving them dinner and standing up and just felt one coming so i just i didn't i didn't hold back probably should have a little liftoff thrusters huh yeah and i did it and how do you still to this day like doesn't find like she's it's completely functional to her, passing gas. It's not funny. Bo, maybe it's just a guy thing. Bo already, two years old, thinks it's hilarious. Really?

Palmer thinks farting is hilarious too. Yeah. Well, you do too. Yeah. Hattie's more sophisticated. And I feel like I've never tried to show her that it's funny, whatever. And I don't think I'd show Bo either, but Bo just thinks it's so funny and he laughed and then i see him like lean over like five seconds later just rip one for like three four like solid seconds and he just goes i'm just like you daddy i do too

and yeah i'll be honest 10 minutes later felt another one coming on let it go again yeah bo i think can do it on command baby i mean just right again like just lean forward and just let one out so i don't know i don't know what's going on there but it's kind of fun yeah typically do you try to hold them in around your kids oh at the dinner table i do oh okay Oh, okay. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Not nowhere. Do I hold them in around Palmer? Scott, Scott's a pusher. If you've ever, like, if you've known that kind of guy, like, like there's times where you hear Scott audibly, it's like, it's like he's at Wimbledon and he's like, it's like, it's like not even, it's like not even kind of like, Oh, he,

like, it was like, you tried so hard to do that. You know what I mean? Like, whereas I try my best not to, you know. Yeah, I try to hold him in as much as I can. But anyway. Yeah, that's funny. Yeah. A little breath coming out.

I've started. I started doing a on the pickleball core like if i have an overhead or something i'll hit it and as i'm hitting i'll go be careful because it's very addicting right i'm already addicted i'm full blown yeah uh one last thing we need to sports but before i forget uh we've announced uh or we've told you guys before that brand i want to take a trip i think we have the month and the location pretty exciting right uh somewhere in africa um yeah yeah have you noticed all the hints we've been giving uh yeah so all right all right africa you say all right so the tour guide his name is mo and we're going to be staying in his house.

My family has, this is why you've been doing the African stuff so much. My family's been living as missionaries in Uganda, Africa for the past 12, 10 years.

That's why we did it. And this upcoming summer, I'm hoping to go to university in the United States. One of the difficulties of living as a missionary kid, most of your life, especially in a situation like mine, is it's nearly impossible to get a job as an expat. So to help raise money in college funds, I created t-shirts and hoodies on this really cool website. Um, I would really love it if y'all would be able to repost or give a shout out. So here's us saying shout out. Um, uh, this guy's calling me. Sorry. Uh, you need to take this. I, I, I ignored it. Well, I'll call him in a second.

Yeah. What was my final percentage? Actually, I don't know.

Somewhere between like four and six. Yeah. It was not in the double digits. I know that was a single-digit sweep. Yeah. So that means I get to choose the order. I'm going to go Brad first. I'm going to go Scott second.

I'm going to go Jake third. Great. I'm a good second hitter. Yeah. Derek Jeter. Because you're a good bunter if we need you to bunt. But Great. I'm a good second hitter. Yeah. Derek Jeter. Cause you're a good bunter if we need you to bond, but you can also make contact if we need that too. So hit and run.

And you're not going to ground new double plays are very fast. I forgot about hit runs. Those were fun. A little bit of pressure when you get the sign though. I better make, I better make, I better hit this thing. It was way more fun to be the runner on the hit and run.

Totally. I got Steve. I remember all those times. I remember all those times. I all those times i got the steel signal totally uh okay so did you ever steal oh yeah oh i loved it dude okay i stole not very often did i get the steel sign but i definitely like would steal on a pass you ever had first slide no just scorpion yeah i never did i was i don't know if i even ever attempted it like in practice or something uh okay this week uh the s'mores are going to be just kind of a random category we're doing bald people your best baldies how did you come up with this i loved this one i every once in a while if you if you get in the right headspace where you

don't think too hard you can think of you can really think of a lot of things It's really how I like go on rampages. Sometimes when I write for jean shorts It's like don't think too hard like the that was kind of how I came up with my multiple choice questions for you guys Yeah, yeah, it's like don't don't try too hard look at a letter and then what does that letter make you think of or you know? Like whatever um scroll on instagram. What is the most possible random food items of all time yeah so uh bald people i'm gonna go obvious one here i think so first one i thought of he made bald cool oh he made everything cool he made the baggy shorts cool he made the backwards golf hat cool i mean the dude's just cool incarnate his name name is Michael Jeffrey Jordan.

Yeah. He was first on my list. MJ. Yep. Air Jordan. Yep, yep, yep, yep. I mean, literally has a logo of him. Bald, dunking.

Bald. Bald. If he had hair, that wouldn't look the same. Can you picture that logo with just like a little tuft of hair? Yeah. Maybe some krill coming off. Some krill.

Great pick. Thank you. It's going to be hard to beat that pick alone with four other ones like i don't know four people can match what michael jordan did for the bald community yeah it was definitely the first thing i thought of as well so yeah before we get going how bald do you have to be to be on this list i think we can uh vote as we go because i was thinking like pretty bald because michael jordan is definitely shaved bald right like he's not yeah but he doesn't have any hair on the sides though like he is shaving bald well but then the people that are like hereditarily bald and have stuff on the side i consider that bald too oh really okay

i didn't put anyone on my list who has hair i didn't either because those guys aren't cool bald people no fits no fits of people that are still rocking the side thing. You didn't put Jeff Van Gundy on your list? Well, one of the guys I thought of. So nobody with side hair? I didn't, but I think that's qualified. That's fair enough. If you think they're cool. Scott's got one.

Scott's first pick is going to be, which I really only have one in mind. I'm like, he's pretty cool and he's got some hair on the side. I don't know if this guy was that, well, whatever. I'll write it down to talk about later. Hey, write that down. Okay. All right, Scott, first pick. Go ahead. Can you smell what The Rock is cooking?

How long did it take you before you understood what he was doing? I still don't know. I still don't know what that was. Dwayne The Rock Johnson. I was like, was that one of the Wayans brothers? I don't know. What was that? Nope.

Oh, man. Is that a Dave Chappelle bit? I went through all of the diverse. It's, yes, Dwayne Johnson. Dwayne the Rock Johnson. But do you know what he was doing? I'm guessing. No.

You don't know? That was like what he did. Yeah, that was like his entrance into the ring. Basically, I've never seen it. I think I just knew that context. Sometimes I know things without saying I'm not that not that one. Smell what the rock is cooking is the phrase that could be so much better. I didn't even incorporate the rock into like the wordplay.

Can you smell what the rock is cooking? Makes sense. But the rock isn't a chef. No. Or do you grow up you didn't have rocks cooking for you then you do the eyebrow thing you know yeah yeah yeah my first draft pick so your draft your first draft pick is one that like was already established that people don't universally love no no no no no no people love me i there was somebody i was talking to this

last weekend i think it was, on the way down, we're driving to the pickleball place and it was a lady that we're playing with. And I was just getting to know her and somehow the rock came up and she's like, Oh yeah, my kids love the rock. It's like,

thank you. And how do you feel about them? I don't really care for them. So 66% of people in the world, she loved them. First pick Dwayne, the rock Johnson. Good answer.

How are you guys so good at this? Kenny, Kenny, tell me, why is he going to pick Charles Barkley? Kenny, I don't even know what to talk about here, Kenny. This guy is just terrible.

T-R-B-L with a capital T. He's probably going to pick Kim Jong-il for his next pick. Kim Jong-il is terrible. He's terrible. I ruined it with Shaq. I like it. Okay. So Charles Barkley and then the Blue Man Group.

The whole one. All of them. As a unit. There's four. Aren't there three? So that rounds out my four. Blue Man One. Blue Man Two.

I'm going to go... Welcome to the party, pal. Bruce Willis. Die hard. Okay. Bruce Willis is one of your favorite people who's bald yeah Brad he's one of your favorite

I think he's one of the best bald people in the world oh best at being bald best at like the skill of being bald no best at like most successful he's one that Mount Rushmore.

I don't know if my four favorite presidents are up on Mount Rushmore, but they're great presidents, so they deserve to be up there. I was choosing my favorite people who are bald. Oh my gosh, this guy. Sorry. He's telling me six o'clock this whole time. I called him. Yeah, yeah, yeah.

I mean, people vote differently than how we decide anyway. Yeah. True. I think Bruce Willis is awesome anyway. Yeah. He's one of my favorite. Yes.

I'll keep it that. That's fine. Okay. If I don't want to give anything, well, I'll say it. If they were my four favorite ball people, I'd pick four basketball players.

Yeah. That's fair point. That's all I'm going to say. Yeah. But. Okay. Trying to diversify. Okay.

Like Blue Man Group. You got Blue Man Group. I had to diversify with. I've been to the Blue Man Group twice. They're awesome. They're some of my favorite people who are bald. Really? Yeah.

I love percussion. You know that. You've always said that. You've always said it. I love percussion and shaving in the car. Mm-hmm. Which is kind of percussive. Mm-hmm. That's right. That's what we've always said. Kind of percussion and shaving in the car which is kind of percussive that's right

that's what we've always said kind of percussive alright well me again yeah you again oh I'm sorry okay well then in my next one I will pick another

basketball player he is my favorite basketball player of all time and he's dead so you can't hate on him his name's Kobe Bean Bryant got it specifically

I mean Black Mamba was the bald Kobe really? you think he's universally loved no okay but i think he's an awesome bald person yeah yeah like his early career like rookie kobe he had well actually like when he was drafted he was bald and then he had a fro he grew out a little bit and then like later career kobe like after post allegations post shack oh shack kobe different eras well you're probably talking about the allegations with shack i'm sure so um yeah uh he he went bald he went black mamba mamba mentality gotcha so anyway that's my pick okay

all right my number three pick is uh the main character and one of my favorite TV shows of all time. Dang it. He's taken by TV shows. I know. The one who knocks. It was on my list. I was going to choose him next. Mr. White. Dang it. What were you guys joking? Mr. Chike. Chikesenberg.

Yeah, the thing that spurred this thought was just the other day i saw this it was like a pickleball meme of like it's like it was the caption was me when somebody says one more or something and it was walter white talking to saul goodman being like we're done when i say we're done great answer scott yeah that's Yeah, that's my number three. I wanted to pick it next. Glad I scooped him up in the third round. You scooped him.

All right, JT. Okay, this is what I thought of since we kind of, you know, I reestablished the hair on the side thing. I'm going to go George Costanza. That was the one I wrote down. It was like, he's not one of my favorites, but he's awesome. Okay, let me try. Let me try.

Give me something to say uh the mail has arrived i was in the pool has arrived no i don't know george castana not jason alexander but george castanza yeah yeah that character yeah my favorite bald people i was in the pool i was in the pool that was just jerry nice um and then after here i mean it's all i feel like you you dropped down a tier after this it's all the same you would think i got some creative picks on here normally i'm not rewarded for my creative picks so um i'm not gonna go with those oh the pizza guy you won that that week which one was that most universally loved people oh yeah that was week one wasn't it okay i'm I'm going to go with Steve Harvey.

Good one. Nice guy. Universally loved. I think everyone seems to like him. He botched that one, Miss America, but I mean. Do you think he did it on purpose, though? Why? Just to like.

Ratings. Oh, probably not. No? Okay. I believe in people making honest mistakes. I believe in the stupidity of people. Yeah. For a second, it sounds like I'm saying something nice. nice no i believe in people's ability to honestly screw up okay um

anyway steve harvey you like harvey yeah oh yeah back to scott okay my fourth pick is a man that basically revolutionized the world as we know it his name is jeff bezos really founder of amazon you think jeff bezos is that's not gonna get you any yes you don't know our audience at all what shop local first of all nobody shops on amazon in this audience are you kidding nobody swipes right for buy now i guess it depends how we're deciding our people i was trying to choose people that i genuinely like the most who are bald but from a success standpoint standpoint, yes, Bruce Willis is great. Let's do richest bald people. You would dominate, Scott. Jeff Bezos is a very successful man while being bald. I'm very glad Jeff Bezos founded Amazon. I think that's changed the world. It has changed the world. I agree with

that. I think lots of listeners probably shop on amazon wow guys i have so many good answers left and it's just gonna be so hard to pick just one uh but i believe my fourth and final pick oh man i'm gonna okay this is this is one that's up for debate and it's you two specifically scott uh tell me if i'm right and thinking that he's bald or not tiger woods definitely balding big time yeah like he's struggling recently when he takes his hat off you could see but it's more of like a lebron at his worst hairline he's not bald he's not no i would it's getting pretty bad he can i look him up real quick like a recent picture of tiger woods without a hat on it's getting pretty i. Can I look him up real quick? Like a recent picture of Tiger Woods without a hat on.

It's getting pretty good. Just the fact that you don't know that he's bald doesn't mean he's one of your favorite bald people. Well, no. It depends on if he's bald or not. Not if he's one of my favorite people or not. I'm saying if he was one of your favorite people, you would know if he was bald or not. You wouldn't have to look it up. Yeah, he's balding. I don't know if he's bald.

Male pattern baldness is going on. Okay, okay. No tiger. Okay. In that case, might as well just go the basketball route. I just saw him a couple weeks ago, DJ Diesel.

He was on my list. Shaquille O'Neal. I almost went with him with my first pick, and then I just didn't pick him at all. I really didn't have much of a list going. He really fell down the draft board. Yeah. I mean, I think he's entertaining both on and off.

He was one of my favorite basketball players. Him and Kobe. I loved the Lakers growing up. Yeah. Anyway, okay. Shaq's great. I kind of forgot you saw him. That's pretty cool, dude.

It was cool. Somebody scream! Just ridiculous. Cool. Did anybody else have Adam Reck on their list? Who was that? He was my youth pastor growing up. Nope.

He went from having dreads to going bald. Very infectious laugh, though. Did I meet him? He taught me a lot about the Bible. Did I meet him? Adam? He was black. Remember Adam?

Ah. System linked a lot with Adam. Well, Adam? You would remember him. great laugh i bet if i saw a picture of him i'd recognize him core memory that i have with adam and scott we were playing halo at the house next door to our church that was like the man's kind of thing yes and there was a car driving by we our church was in a little bit of a ghetto neighborhood so it was like blaring this music and scott knew that it was pony by genuine and started singing.

Adam thought it was the funniest thing he'd ever heard. I have no recollection of that. We were probably third grade. Yeah. I know we were in third grade. It was Halo. So it was probably eighth grade. Started that one a little too low.

Here are some of my other honorable mentions real quick. Samuel L. Jackson. I don't really love him though, but he's one of the first people I thought of when I thought of bald. Super bald. Derek Jeter. Oh, forgot about him.

Good one. The guy from the Bible that like, do you remember that story? These like youths made fun of him for being bald. Youths. They're like, go on up, you bald head. Go on up. And he like cast a bunch of bears on him and killed all these kids. Second Kings. That's what you get for making fun of me being bald.

That's a story in the Bible. Yeah. Yeah. Second Kings, like, 42 or something like that. I know it's all even numbers. All right. The audio just kind of cut out. I don't know what we said, but we were talking Bibles and Scripture and bald people.

I wrote down something biblical. I wrote down Samson after he got his hair chopped off. Oh, was he bald? I don't know. How much did that cut off? Yeah, that's true's true yeah up to your interpretation um but he was weaker right so come on well that's why he didn't get chosen uh only president to come out of kansas dwight d eisenhower bald bald only president i think that's bald maybe fact check me on that if you want uh gandhi gandhi is a bit president you take off from Trump's wig he's bald no that's real hair baby I think that things do it

great Vince Vince Diesel sure Jason Statham Albert Pujols okay Larry David Charles Barkley your set Tim Howard remember like that amazing run that we had in the World Cup with Tim Howard had like 14 saves in one match Usain Bolt Brian Urlacher

okay a lot of athletes I know Chad Johnson Vince Carter Vince Carter was so cool back in the day when he was bald

and thrown down and then Kevin Garnett cool my honorable mentions the very first two people I thought of very different was Michael Jordan and Dr. Phil for some reason in the day when he was bald and thrown down and then kevin garnett cool my honorable mentions the the very first two people i thought of very different was michael jordan and dr phil for some reason dr phil was like the first person that came to mind um then yeah i had walter white terry cruz howie mandel damon wayans gandhi samson uh and then i had britney spears in 2007. That's good. You got any more, Scott? Yeah, I had Jason Statham,

probably one of the coolest voices of all time. Modern day Bruce Willis, probably. I had Vin Diesel, another iconic voice. Are you just saying all of Brad's honorable mentions or are you saying your honorable mentions? Brad, you said Vin Diesel? I said Vince Diesel, which is like the most... And Jason Statham. You said Jason Statham too?

I was being kind of annoying. I was saying him weird. Oh man, I must not have been paying attention at all. I was really tuned out. I also had Albert Pujols. No, go ahead. My last one was Mr. Wonderful from Shark Tank. Oh, good answer.

He's pretty awesome. Alright, so quick recap brad michael jordan bruce willis kobe bryant shaquille o'neal scott the rock dick vital walter white jeff bezos why are you laughing at jeff bezos i feel like everyone is just like kind of out on like these like 0.1 percenters you know like no one really likes billionaire ceos yeah i know but like think about how nice life is with Amazon.

My husband and I thank you. I choose my boyfriend your podcast one day when we both had COVID and we were playing endless games of Mexican trained dominoes your podcast made us laugh so much and was bonding for us we are now married and the other night we played Mexican trained dominoes again and listen to your podcast it was like old times again you're basically the reason I'm married so thank you maybe not totally the reason you've been a great memory maker i love how brad generally loves his family and the stories about hattie and her magic treehouse books it's been so sweet to hear how much jake cares about rachel we're happy for you thanks for being such genuine funny guys

thank you for leaving such a genuine message all right uh mine is actually an instagram dm from madison oliver sent to us a Monday. She said, Hey, my husband and I love ghost runners and I would like to consider myself an OG ghosty. I listened to the podcast on Spotify, so I can only give five star review, five stars on there, but I can't comment. So I figured I could share a little story in here with you guys. My husband and I recently went to Italy and we're having dinner one night. The menu was in Italian. So we were having a little trouble and the waiter spoke little English. No problem. We just asked a couple of questions and blindly picked two entrees.

However, a few minutes later, a server brought out an expensive appetizer that we did not order. So we kindly said, oh no, we didn't order that. She went over to our waiter who then pointed at our table and nodded at us. My husband was about to argue when I said under my breath, just eat the hot dog. He instantly knew what I meant and he thanked the server for the food. We didn't eat much of it because it was an interesting spread of things. We wanted to eat our actual meals.

When we did get our entrees, my husband's had a whole shrimp with the eyes and shell on it, which freaked him out. Again, I said, just eat the hot dog. When this, which this time meant eat what you can. After we finished, the waiter came over and felt bad that we didn't eat much of our food, which was totally our fault.

We didn't know what we were ordering. We were really nice. Just said that we were full and we thanked him for serving us. Before we had a chance to leave, he said he had a surprise for us. So we waited at the table and this man brings over two shots from the bar. I'm sure most people would have appreciated this, but both my husband and I don't drink and I've never had a shot. I couldn't imagine not accepting this man's gift. So my husband and I cheered to just eating the hot dog and downed it fast. Even though it wasn't our favorite meal of

the trip, it was definitely our most memorable. So thank you guys for your podcast, which gave us a positive outlook during this interesting meal. So shout out to Madison. Yeah, that's fun. Subtle ways we're impacting people, but just like when stuff comes up like that in life oh it's awesome eat the hot dog just eat the hot dog eat it yeah awesome so yeah i love i love hearing those kind of things i love hearing that we're part of memories with relationships any any in every way with this woman who's now probably a girl to us still she's younger than us because she just got married but
