Jake, a few weeks ago on the podcast, you asked for people to send in their AI reviews on our Facebook page and a user named Santo Mac, which I don't know if that's a real name of his. You think it is? No. Me neither. But one of the things that the AI said for him was each episode opens with a narrated intro that sets the tone for the entire show, blah, blah, blah. And it says Jake's 10 things we've learned about life is the next segment. Each 10 to 15 minute long episode culminates with a comedy performance

by both hosts. I really like the idea of 10 things we've learned about life. And I forgot that we haven't done that in a while. It's about that time. We do that segment. Yeah.

They're not listening. They need to not listen to the podcast that's number 10 on improv comedy on Apple. Dang. They need to listen to something else, probably, NPR. Yeah, something boring and not number 10 on the improv comedy list on Apple. Poland, find a new podcast. Where do we rank in India, though india we're real high i've exited off the tab

number 20 on the comedy who wants to be a millionaire number 20 yeah try my 2020 yeah baby i got a new phone today and it's got this always on feature and i keep thinking someone's calling me over here i'm gonna put this out of sight out of mind what is what is it's always on point of always on i don't know just something take it off turn it off it's probably just like hey we don't have that many new features anymore so we just got to start throwing stuff in there i had thought i had the thought just the other day of like apple really hasn't revolutionized much recently i think technology in general it's just going slower as far as like what you could fit into a phone fair hey that's an 11th lesson of life

though always be on you know no i disagree have the time on you hey turn on turn on do not disturb every once in a while no hey always be on breath where what's your airplane mode hey make sure make sure if you need uh gosh dang it um what's it called 20 when it goes 20 percent low battery mode low battery mode hey make sure when you need it 20 go on low battery mode. Low battery mode. Hey, make sure when you need it, go on low battery mode. Colon. Life doesn't always have to be red or green. Sometimes it can be yellow. Nice.

That's good. Yeah. What about stoplight? Would a semicolon be more appropriate? We're going with colon. We're going with colon here. I don't think so. I think colon is like, this is the intro colon.

This is the next part. I think semi-colon separates two independent clauses. That sounds very good. It is correct. Interesting. Okay. Yep. Yep.

Anyway, Hey, it's December 26th. Did you guys have a good Christmas or anything else you celebrate on December 25th? I don't know who you guys, I don't know what you guys do on December 25th, but I know some celebrate Christmas. Some it's just NFL Sunday. Yeah. But guys, I don't know what you guys do on December 25th, but I know some celebrate Christmas. Some,

it's just NFL Sunday. Yeah, but I think the games are on Saturday, mostly, right? Most are on Saturday. Still games on Sunday, though. My dad was supposed to go

to the Chiefs game on Saturday and maybe he's going to, but I think he's like, I'm no longer going because it's supposed to be deathly cold. Polar vortex. What do we think, guys?

About the cold? It's very cold. Do we blame him we blame them oh no no i it the windchill is lower than i've seen it i think in the entire time i lived in kansas city they're predicting to be negative 33 yeah chill it's crazy which i know that for hey it feels like the coop family you're like oh spend a couple days in montana yeah yeah but in kansas city that's pretty unheard of that i saw negative. It's supposed to be negative 33. Winchell, Winchell, Winchell, Winchell, Winchell, Winchell.

Winston Churchill is called Winchell. Iron Curtain. Yeah, that's what that is, isn't it? The Iron Curtain is just when it's under 25 degrees Winchell. I wanted to try and mess with Scott and see if we could convince him. I couldn't hold it together. I couldn't hold it together. I couldn't hold it together. Guys, guys, guys.

I'm not that dumb. Okay. Can I just... Can I just vent about the cold weather thing real quick? Because Catherine... Poultry of the Week? I have so many poultries this week, dude. Sure.

You want me to save it? We're talking weather right now. First Poultry of the Week, colon. There is another one on the way semi colon no i'm just kidding um katherine just so so saturday night is christmas eve sunday is christmas uh because it's a sunday there's church and i'm like i think we should go to both and she she was also very on board but she's like gosh it's gonna be so cold i don't know if we should go on Saturday. And I just have such a beef with complaining about the cold when you are literally getting in a van that's inside of a heated garage, going outside. I'm, I'm performing my chivalrous duty of dropping her off. She has to get out like two kids from the car and walk in 10 feet. That's one minute max. And you can probably start that car when you're leaving, right? Yeah. I'm absolutely going to get the car. Yeah. It's going to be heated up by the time I get her. Yeah.

It's one of those things where I think I got in trouble, whatever, five episodes ago when I said, Catherine can do anything for one minute and Scott died laughing. But yeah, it's just one of those things where it's like, you can suck it up. It's not that big of a deal. And you don't remember that? No,

I might've been gone for that one. I probably laughed in spirit. Anyway, I, I just, I think I just get, I just get frustrated when people are like, Oh,

it's so cool. I can't do it. It's like we're inside though. Yeah. You know, it's, it's, yeah. It's like one thing if

you're outside a chief's game in negative 30 degrees yeah i don't blame you yeah i would i would be okay if patrick mahomes didn't go or if the roads are bad also acceptable excuse yeah it's like snow and ice covered yeah if it's just the temperature alone you can't really not do stuff because of it i think so you can't do stuff. Can't not do indoor stuff because of it. Because yeah, it's like, oh, we can't come over. It's too cold outside. It's similar. Especially when it's like middle class suburb. Like we have a garage.

Yeah. You know, it's not like you're having to ice or whatever, scrape your car. Every now and then this is adjacent problem. People be like, all right, whose car are we taking? You know, can we take yours? I'm like running low on gas okay well you're gonna get it eventually could we just stop and get it on the way to the place yeah they they like to use that as an excuse of why they can't have a crutch i will say that tiny tim let me just

defend those people a little bit in the winter time you had to turn off your car to get gas that's cold true or false for two minutes while your gas fills up i can't do anything for two minutes i can do anything for one minute do you know why you're supposed to turn your car off um spontaneous combust maybe maybe in a way it's um due to in case your car were to backfire then it would explode i don't think a car has backfired i mean since since like 1994 yeah yeah i don't you're you're absolutely right so play it at your own risk out there people listening but if you're cold you can probably leave it on i definitely have friends that are like i've never turned off my car to get gas yeah me too which i

have never left my car on no i did it on on accident one time and i was like narrowly escape death yeah it's my lucky day i look at that like um you like driving even like driving to your house you know 83 steps i still put my seatbelt on though because like it's not worth risking it really i i do a lot of little stuff like that because i can always justify be like what's the alternative the alternative is death any scenario i was like i should probably just do this little thing yeah that's fair just in case it sounds like someone who punts in madden thank you i think play it safe i do i was thinking about that the other day of like golly goofballs punting scott we haven't got to have our our little boys day yet no we're gonna do it we're looking at this thursday but yeah that's when weather's gonna be yeah you guys are gonna

be outside the whole time for the whole thing well i think the roads are gonna be pretty bad i think i'm gonna leave town early pre-pre-blizzard yeah um but anyway we got lots of talk about i feel like baby dude i don't know if you do i do i went to my first ever fitness class um rachel what's that uh what's the studio called orange power life power life power life and yoga with with probably just a random person instructing you though right right you would think yeah uh no found out this girl's instagram username is buffalo chicken dip okay the one that's funny quirky yeah weird and like she's probably really young with that kind of you know name yes you would think i don't know what in relation to what is what is 28 to you

younger she's younger younger younger she's a younger girl she was a younger woman yep anyway yeah my sister was the instructor rachel uh went uh so yeah caitlin's up front leading it and then it goes rachel me gunner and then brayden all star line nice it wasner, and then Brayden. All star lineup. Nice. It was so fun. And then surrounding us, because we really are in the middle, surrounding us are like probably 25 to 30 older women. 25 to 30? It's a pretty packed house.

I was imagining 15. It's pretty full in there. The room is cranked up to about, Caitlin said it was at 90 degrees that day. 90? And yeah, pretty warm. What's good? What kind of shorts was Gunner wearing? Gunner? Well well why don't we start on top what shirt was he wearing nothing

shirtless gunner shirtless gunner mixed company you're welcome buffalo chicken yeah um but yeah so that's that's the scene and i kind of knew what I was getting myself into because I'd helped my sister um like prepare to be an instructor I did like a little practice session one time so I kind of knew but it's pretty intense I mean it's 45 straight minutes of like a high intensity interval like workout I mean it is very hard and I think it was the reason Gunnar and Brayden go consistently it's a good workout and um unfortunately what happened though is right away there is one outlier there is one other guy in there okay he's very old how like older or like old between 66 and 74 okay very specific number i that i feel pretty confident about that range

and not only is he wearing less than gunner he is wearing only and i mean only spandex like biker shorts they are red and they are worn out and they're a little bit see-through oh where's he standing great question to start the day where's he downward dog to start to start to start the day. It's like, all right, we're just going to do a little warm up. So get into, I don't know what it is. Cat pose? Crow pose?

Cow pose? Cat cow. Cat cow. And it's not quite downward dog. It's mainly like just on all fours, just looking ahead. Because nothing's downward. Face is straight on. And this guy is in front of, you know, Top Gun Maverick.

He would be in front of the cockpit. Yeah, he was right in front of me. I'm right behind him. Well, you're behind the cockpit. Yeah. And I'm just staring. And it's like, wow, those are worn out biker shorts. And that is how the day started.

And it's how the day continued. I was just behind him the whole time. Does this guy seem like he's like a regular at this kind of place? Yeah, I think so. He seemed like he walked. I didn't even go into the locker room. It's like, I'm a newbie. I didn't even know there was a locker room.

And he seemed like he knew his way in and out of it. Is he pretty in shape? Yeah, yeah, I reckon so. Yeah. And so, yeah, that was kind of a bummer. Just like seeing that, just moving around the whole time. But the other big bummer was that pretty early on, we're doing some mountain climbers.

And I'm like, like okay this is still like five minutes in so i'm not even that sweaty yet those are the ones where you're like on the ground like planking and then just moving the legs yeah he's going to the chest so i don't know if i was going a little too hard if i have some sort of issue i have uh i think the industry term is yoga mat burn i started to develop this gnarly blister on the bottom of my big toe five minutes in just from like doing the mountain climbers I'm barefoot. I was gonna say that was my question. Yeah, I don't know. Is everyone barefoot Aaron barefoot, and this was high intensity This was not like hot yoga. This was an actual workout. Yeah, you're doing stuff cause he there's weights involved You're like warrior two, but your arms are above your head doing this the whole time 98 degrees doing tricep stuff

Everyone's drenched dude when you're done that's intense you lose that sounds awesome so much water yeah yeah so yeah it is pretty serious but uh so i mean five minutes in you're blistering i'm blistering to where i'm like i cannot put any pressure on my big toe anymore but i'm like to my left is rachel to her left is like a six month pregnant woman. I'm like, I'm not about to like bow out of this. I mean, I just absolutely cannot. Yeah. So for the rest of the workout, I'm doing anything I can to not step on my big toe. So I'm like doing stuff on the side of my foot. I'm like doing lunges where my foot is upside down, hitting the mat. It was just one of those things where I would just, I was going to do anything before I was like, just excused

myself. It's amazing how like one I was like, just excused myself. It's amazing how like one small thing like that can just affect everything. It's all I thought about the whole time. It's just, it's just one toe. It was just one foot, one toe. The other one was fine. I mean, back in the day I was a big boat shoe guy who wasn't and, and, oh dude, when you got those blisters on the back of your ankles, that was miserable. Like walking. It was just like this. I don't want to walk another step. And you were like that the entire 45 minutes.

Yeah, it was not fun. But I don't know. It was still very fun because I think gutter and I were just trying to make each other laugh and trying to make everybody laugh. And, you know, Kayla would come around and oh, this is funny. They they have these little token things that you can take it like a little plastic thing you could put in front of your mat that basically tells the instructor hey if i'm doing something wrong i kind of give you permission to like touch me move me okay like instruct me gunner threw one my way um and i didn't even know what it was really he's like you're gonna need

this i was like oh okay and then uh my sister's like explaining it like if you take a token it means you need help today and so i kind of just under my breath going i might need two and then a woman hears me and goes and grabs me too and gives it to me and i'm like oh gosh i'm sorry i was just kidding with my friend that's buffalo jig and dip yeah um so that was kind of funny and then another thing was um, I guess I forgot to debrief this with my sister. So she'll be hearing this now and laughing. But I think it was a Saturday class. And I think she would see, my sister was, by the way, maybe the most in fit person in

Kansas City, like to lead this while like yelling and talking. I don't know how you do all that while like yelling out at us what to do. You have to be like, yeah, so in shape to have conversations. conversations because she's not taking breaks like we're all kind of like taking breaks every now and then right like looking around or like maybe taking a drink or whatever she's just doing stuff constantly also great playlist really fun doesn't surprise a lot of remixes yeah oh yeah you would love it scott get me in this class next time there was even like a mariah carey all i want for Christmas remix. Got me fired up. I was mountain climbing to that.

Yeah. Anyway, so she's addressing the class and getting them excited. And I think she was saying like addressing us as like Saturday, like we were the Saturday class. So she's like, yes, Saturday, come on. You know what? Let's go with Saturday.

But in my head, I couldn't like think straight. And I was like, I swear she is yelling out Jeff Saturday. And just kind of saying like, come on, Jeff Saturday. Jeff Saturday. Go Colts. Which around that same time, Jeff Saturday was blowing a 33 point lead. So she was on to something. He needed some encouragement.

She knew Jeff is not having a good time right now. Jeff Saturday. Jeff Saturday. Jeff Saturday. Yeah. Anyway, it was fun. And I did, I was very tired. Were you glad you winced?

It was, it wasn't like a thing. Colts joke. Are you glad you winced? It wasn't like a thing. Colt's joke. Are you Ryan to go back? I don't think I... That wasn't that bad. Are you Matt trying to go back? No dice, no luck. I don't know.

Anyway, you got another one? Nope. Wasn't going to be good. Sorry, Manny. I was, no. Edgerin. Edgerin. Pudding.

Marvin. It wasn't like this great feeling like, oh, afterwards, that felt good. It was like, my toe hurts. Yeah. That's kind of the feeling. I mean, that's the thing though like six months pregnant or not you either have blister or you know calluses or you don't like that's because i katherine gives me such a hard time for having sensitive feet because i'm i grew

up in the city i was never barefoot she like lived bare feet me too you know and barefoot and so like yeah she can walk anywhere whatever and doesn't feel it. I would definitely be getting blisties. Maybe. I'm right there with you, Sam. She gives me a ton of crap. Down to the lake, she'll walk on rocks barefoot. That's my nightmare. I can take one step and I'm like, no, get fine grass.

I bet if there was a race between me and a turtle trying to cross a rocky gravel road, I would lose. I would go so slow. That might be a stretch, but I don't think I ever like built up any immunity to it. Cause I want, we used to have a gravel driveway or, you know, whatever. Yeah. Sensitivity. We had a gravel driveway and walk on it occasionally and it hurt every time. It doesn't feel any better. Yeah. It hurts. So maybe it's just a genetic thing. We'll say that. Probably so. Yeah. Very sensitive feet. It's almost as if humans can't adapt within like a 15 to 25 year span.

It takes billions of years. I don't know. I don't think it's 15 to 20. Interesting theory, Jake. But yeah, it was fun. I'll probably do it again. Emily Duckworth felt awful that she missed out on it. She knew how much fun we were having.

So she has claimed dibs on a double date in the future that we sculpt and acai bowl afterwards because that's what we did this time together and it was awesome because you went to the one across the street. Yeah. Yeah, it's fun. Yeah, yeah, yeah, man. That's great. So Gunnar does that class frequently like he's a member there. I think him and Braden both. I mean, not together, but yeah, each of them individually because Gunnar's wife teaches

as well. Emily's an instructor. I didn't know that either. Caitlin's an instructor. Rachel's an instructor. So where's Rachel? Rachel's not an instructor. I lied. I was like, I had no idea. She is just a frequent goer.

Yeah. Thanks for catching me on that. Yeah, she's not an instructor. I was like, I pride myself in knowing about Rachel. She goes like five days a week though. Yeah. So could be. Healthy.

Yeah, very. Anyway, do you do any fitness this week? I did. I've been a, been a swimming boy guys. Let's go. And man, I don't know about, uh, power life, but swimming is, it'll get you quick. It's exhausting. I do. I do like 15 minutes and that is plenty. My gosh. Great workout and no like friction on like your joints. It's awesome. Yeah. I, I was very sore though. A couple, like, like a week and a half ago. And I was like, it might be from swimming.

It might be from sprinting down the road for recent jean shorts video. You have to come out. What video is it? Uh, literally. Yeah. I don't think it's coming out to after Christmas. Um, or it might be from me contorting myself in the Chick-fil-A play place. Or golf.

Or golf. Yeah. What a mix. It is funny that it could be either one of those things. I mean, I was so sore for a while and I was like, maybe it's from swimming. But yeah. Your chiropractor's like, Brad, what's happening to your back? He's like, I don't know.

I sprinted down the street the other day, but also went golfing and I don't have great form. But I've been swimming a lot. Also, I was at a play place. I sprinted down the street the other day, but also went golfing and I have great form, but I've been swimming a lot. Also, I was at a play place. So I don't know. Also my, yeah, my imaginary kid was in a play place. I sprinted so far down that road. I should not have gone that far. I sold it. I sold it out. So, um, it'll be worth it in the video, but yeah, I, I enjoy swimming. I'm part of is like, of course, I need to get better at it and get better form and everything. But another part of me is like, well, the more efficient I get, the less hard I'm working out. Right?

You just have to go longer. I think so. I know it's flawed logic. It's like, yeah, if you just run on bare feet, you know, for five minutes, it's probably better than running a marathon with my shoes. It's like uh yeah uh but the other night um last night actually this i was like kind of in between i was i was tired so i was taking a break and this guy comes in and he was like yeah man like i got really good at swimming like for like the last two years he's kind of like a tool he's a nice guy but you know kind of

that gives off that aura yeah and after that i was like don't, I don't want you to watch me swim now. And so I just got, I was just like, yeah, I was just actually finishing up. So I'm going to get the hot tub real quick, you know? Cause it was like, yeah, you're just talking about, yeah, yeah. It's, it's, it's way easier once you get into it, man. And I was like, yeah, I'm not there yet. Hey pal, you could say that about anything. FYI, after you do something for two years, like it's easier. You get into welding. I had a buddy who did that. He said it gets way easier once you get into it.

Once you, yeah. Once you get like the welder, it makes it easier. He's like, tell me what to get. I was like, I know all these things, but anyway, I've been enjoying it. And it's one of those things like I've been going to the gym a lot, but it's like a two hour process often, you know, like it's a long time, but when you go swimming, you can be in and out in an hour easily, like 45 minutes even. So,

uh, that's been fun. So what's your stroke of choice? Oh, just freestyle the whole time. Yeah. Just slapping around in there. Yeah.

Yeah. And I've, I've, I have no idea what I'm doing. I'm just making it up. You were throwing a backstroke. You get a little tired. I've never thrown in.

I've never thrown in anything. New muscles. I've never chicken airplane soldiered. Chicken airplane soldiered chicken what in the world is that what is that breaststroke chicken airplane soldier what is that what is that stroke called backstroke oh well no this one's a breaststroke i i'm not even a swimmer i nailed it it's i think it's a variation of the backstroke no breaststroke is breaststroke is yeah yeah forward chicken airplane soldier you're on your back. Chicken? Yeah. Breaststroke?

Airplane? Chicken? No, no. Airplane. No. Breaststroke. What soldier is this? Not an American soldier. Yeah.

You're on your back. You go chicken, airplane, soldier. It says backstroke. I think there's just two forms of backstroke. Chicken, airplane, soldier. I dominated chicken, airplane, soldier back in PE. Yeah. Yeah.

But you can do two forms of backstroke you can do the like the rotational one and then the chicken airplane soldier oh uh this that brought me the the pe thing it brought me back to like remember swimming days in pe and middle school yeah terrifying as a we didn't have a pool uh yeah for whatever reason our junior high had a pool high school did not did not but every junior we have like 10 junior highs we have three high schools why wouldn't the high schoolers anyway yeah every single day you walk in there and it's like yeah dress out for p or for swimming first of all your seventh grade you know having to undress in front of all your friends that was terrifying not second of all

big boy having to go you know with a bunch of girls in their swimsuits everyone's saying brad blob me blob just jump in i bet it'll like get all the water out no they didn't say anything like that honestly it was not as ridiculous and scary as it felt like it was going to be so if i guess if you're a seventh grader out there about to go to 11th lesson of life 11th lesson of life just be confident and realize no one's watching you yeah just just go for it yeah me and john pegram remember him yeah he was he was way he was bigger than me and he was slower he didn't have the same chicken airplane soldier form what's johnny p up to these days no idea uh oh no actually i think i saw him what was he doing scott look him up on facebook okay well i was gonna have him just make

something up um you actually checked me out at quick trip today so there you go what did he say have fun or one fizzy dr pepper yeah yeah i got pretty high maintenance on scott on the diet dr pepper that i asked i almost recorded a video and sent it to you and asked if it was an acceptable fizz level okay guys so let's pull up the text real quick I don't think we have to get into this too much. No. All I'll say is I said it's all about how it's flown out of the machine. I guess that's pretty whatever. I said strong fizz today. And I'll say, okay, you're right.

Okay, I take it back. Never mind. We don't have to get into this. So I think I'm wrong. Anyway. Okay, I have a little segment for us. Cool.'s called parenting is hard and parenting is fun okay i was thinking about this earlier today and then i made a little bit of a list so just earlier tonight katherine was planning on taking hattie and beau to go look at christmas lights they had these like free uh chick-fil-a milkshake cards um and so they

were gonna go like redeem them i was gonna stay back with rosie it was gonna be awesome they were excited about it and had he just had the worst attitude ever at dinner and eventually ate her parmesan chicken but it took her a long time it was so good it was she doesn't like melted cheese on things very much which is insane parmesan that's like all the best things what color was the is insane. Parmesan. That's like all the best things. What color was the cheese? I mean, Parmesan. So it was white. Wait, you call it Parmesan chicken, not chicken parm? It was not chicken Parmesan. It was not like breaded chicken. It was like something else. It was like grilled chicken with Parmesan cheese. Yeah. Okay. Parmesan chicken.

Yeah. I don't know. Catherine's recipe is new. So she thought it was going to be one thing. It wasn't. It was just the other thing. And she had a terrible attitude. We had to like, you know, I had to take her away and talk to her and i was like okay you need to do better finally she ate it but katherine was like i mean she was too difficult i think she should stay home she doesn't get a milkshake now yeah it was one of those things where parenting is hard because it's like gosh that is tough um but here's where i think because i obviously know that you're not a parent yet, right? I'm not. So here's the fun things you get to look forward to. They only took plasma from me, I think.

They said they needed me unconscious for part of it. You will not believe everything that they poked. But Rosie's been taking more solids, which just means, you know, real food. Oreo balls. Steaks. Steaks. Rosie's just like, yeah, she only likes them you know medium rare though yeah um but she's also trying to grab the spoon a lot and so it's this new game where it's like you're trying to get it in the mouth trying to time before she can like without

that onto it parenting is fun so i think that's a fun thing cool uh a few more for you here um parenting is hard uh the other day bo woke up telling me he spit up in his uh he spit up in his crib wasn't spit up it was definitely puke oh okay oh cool okay that's fun i i spit up i spit up and i was like okay um but parenting is fun because bo later that day i mean he was totally fine it was this weird freak thing freak thing, but he's been coming out and working up with me in the shop. So parenting is fun. That does sound fun. Yeah.

He especially loves sanding things. So he'll just walk around with this little hand sander and just sand corners of things and feel them. It's awesome. It's so much fun. Can we back up? When you said he spit up afterwards, reading the transcript back to say he's a little freak thing.

Is that what you said to him? He's a little freak thing, he's a little freak thing. Is that what you said to him? He's a little freak thing. He's a little freak thing. Listen, you little freak thing. That's what you tell him. Hey, quit spitting up.

You'll freak thing. Hey, everything is fun. You call your kid freak. Do you want me to tell you what I genuinely did? And you can judge me at just accordingly is I go, okay, buddy,

uh, I'm going to go tell mom. And I literally went and told Catherine, I was like, I don't want, what should we do here? And then she took care of it. So I didn't have to clean up the door.

Not that I wasn't willing to, but because I was like, I genuinely, I was like, that smells a little funky. Like maybe it's not spit up. It's maybe he pooped or something in the morning. I was like, I don't know how he did that. Whatever. Anyway. So I was like, you go check it out.

I'll hold Rosie and whatever. Maybe he has a parasite. Our new dog tiger apparently got double yeast infection in his ears. Yeah. So I was like, you go check it out. I'll hold Rosie and whatever. Um, maybe he has a parasite. Our new dog tiger apparently got double yeast infection in his ears. Yeah. Yikes. And a parasite. So there's stuff coming out of his butt that you would not believe. Yeah.

Isaac was telling me all about that on the phone the other day. He's like, dude, I just found something. No way. And I was like, I met tiger the other day. Great dog.

Oh, interesting. Super nice. Between you meeting him? You think I got yeast infections on my hands? You know, yeasty bread that I found on the side of the road. I handed him some active yeast, yeah. Okay, a couple more.

Let's see. Parenting is hard. We had two road trips in the past four days to Texas, and there was one time where Hattie was literally like freaking out, and I've never seen her do this before. She started banging her head against the car seat. Oh, I don't like that. Yeah. It was like, what is possessing you right now? And I was like, golly, I'm going to get CTE. Yeah. It was, it was generally like, what are you? It was a weird thing too. It was like, Bo wouldn't be quite quiet enough. Like that she could hear the,

you know, story going in the background or something. I was like, chill out. But the fun things that we did on the road trip, I watched a little house in the Prairie with them. Cause we have the TV, you know, in the back.

And so I'll sit in like the seat next to Rosie. Rosie's in the middle bone hat here in the back row. And I'll sit there and I'll just, and I've never, I haven't watched a little house in the Prairie since I was 10 years old. Great show. And the kids love it. So Rachel and i were just talking about this so we just came up with a new game probably like 30 minutes before he came over tonight i would um i would make a noise well i was

talking about how like sometimes you'll see those videos of like people on how they like made sound effects and movies like instead of tree branches breaking it's like celery and right what's that called there's a name for that sound design no there's like a look it up like sound effects people wow it's like people that do sound effects there's like there's like a name for like the art of it go ahead i don't know but so rachel would close her eyes and i would make some sounds and then she would have to tell me what like movie and scene it comes from and one of the things she said was, I don't even know what. She's like, it's from Little House on the Prairie. It's a sewing machine from Little House on the Prairie.

It was a fun game. Foley artist? Foley. Thank you. Wow. Good job, Brad, for knowing that. Never even heard of him. I did not know that was a thing.

Now you do. Foley design. You won't forget it now. Matt Foley. Okay. Let's see. Parenting is hard. Bo has been screaming a lot when I put him to bed.

He'll just scream and say, I don't want to go to bed. I don't want to go to bed. And I'll throw him in there and say, you're going to bed. I'll come back later and he's fine. But parenting is fun. This past week was Christmas with Catherine's family. Bo got a glove and baseball. It's like a Velcro glove.

And he's obsessed with it baseball stuff it's like it's like so glorious like that's all he wanted like he was literally holding it like the whole way back from texas in his hand he's left-handed but it's a right-handed glove you know like so he's putting the glove on his right hand even though it's like backwards and he doesn't care he just he's just loving it and anytime you, even if you like hit the ball at all on the glove, it sticks to it. That's a great thing. It's awesome. And so it like gives him confidence anyway. So that's really fun. And then parenting is hard. Bo can't hear, like I mentioned, like, and so literally it's so hard to like raise your voice without being mad sounding. And so I think everyone else just thinks i'm like constantly yeah just either not

recognizing that i'm being loud or like mad at my son uh but the sweet thing about that is we've been putting these drops in his ears and like that's supposed to help with his ear infection or whatever and whenever we put drops in his ears he has to like lie on my like stomach and like watch a show or something for like 10 minutes and it's glorious like just cuddle with beau so i've been doing that for like the last four or five days. He has to lay down and he loves it. Like he'll, he'll,

he'll lie down all day for a show. Like, you know what I mean? And yeah, he loved, he's like, can I watch a show? Can I do the drops?

You know, I'm like, yeah, get that yeast out of there. Come on out of here. Yeah. So anyway, parenting is hard.

Parenting is fun. I got a parenting is hard story. Please. The other, other day Palmer was, I don't know if it was like something similar to what Bo had, parenting is hard parenting is fun i got a parenting is hard story please um the other other day palmer was i don't know if it was like something similar to what beau had but she's had she had like a freak throw up basically like she wasn't feeling well all night she was kind of acting weird but she'd go in and out of it she'd be like i don't feel good and then she'd be like oh i'm fine and let's play so then she goes to bed that night and like literally in the middle

of the night i hear her come into our room she crawls into bed in between me and sam and she goes mom i think i'm ready to throw up now and sam's half asleep and sam literally goes oh okay honey and does nothing and i just i mean i've never gotten out of bed faster yeah i was like nope nope nope nope and I sprinted to the kitchen, grabbed a bowl and like literally got there just in time. you grabbed a bowl. I would have carried her to the, yeah,

I grabbed a bowl. She threw up like literally right in the nick of time. Right. Like would have been all over my side of the bed. Quick hands. Yeah. Very. Yeah.

I was, I mean, I was, but it was so funny. Sam just was like, she was so asleep. She's like, okay,

that's fine. I was like, that's not the's like okay that's fine i was like that's not the appropriate answer to that statement doing the garage so sam more of the heavy sleeper in the in the marriage no we both she's a lighter sleeper than i am but it takes her minutes sometimes like if if i get woken up i'm especially if it involves throw up i'm like i'm not here for that yeah right so yeah interesting but yeah um parenting is fun palmer has wanted a bike for a really long time and for whatever reason sam wanted to give her this present early because like her sister got her a helmet and we did christmas with them

early so anyways give her the bike and it's just so fun to see her face line up which oh yeah when she saw that bike she was just like in love. Oh, awesome. Cause we're getting Hattie a bike for Christmas. Oh yeah. She was, she went, I mean, she loved it. Yeah. Yeah. So it was fun.

Yeah. And then the last one is, I don't know if this is fun or hard, but it was funny tonight. I was getting Palmer dinner and she always tries to negotiate her way like out of dinner, basically being done. Yeah. And so I was like, Hey, you eat this broccoli, you eat these noodles and then you can be done so i separated her noodles into two piles like this is the pile you have to eat this is the pile you don't have to worry about eating and so i'm like working on prepping a meal um and i look up kind of like out of my peripheral vision and i see her like

very sneakily moving some noodles from one pile into the into like the don't have to eat pile okay i look up and she kind of looks up just see if i'm looking and our eyes meet and she goes like just the most guilty smile you've ever seen i was like i saw that he's like can i you know it's funny it was really funny though yeah man that's it it's so hard not to negotiate i i always am like finding myself trying to negotiate and catherine's like no like we said that they need to eat this. They need to eat all of it. And it's, I'm like, okay.

I mean, I negotiate so much better at like sticking to her guns than I am. Yeah. I negotiate for a living in my job. And I feel like the toughest negotiations I ever have to have is with Palmer. She's tough. Cause she doesn't have the logic yet. Yeah. Can't crack her.

Right. That's great.

Mm-hmm. And I've forgotten. Well, you didn't know that was Christmas Eve on Saturday. True true i didn't know how you how you guys do the dates but uh it was pretty fun um a lot of people there me and gunner both showed up in turtlenecks that was fun it's not a lot of inter norton had a turtleneck yeah there was a crew of like trey's friends who all like showed up wearing the same like brown turtleneck with they basically dressed like the rock and like his gold chain yeah um i loved connor lamb had a turtleneck yeah i can't talk to him too much but a bunch of fun friends there had a good time um

How hard could comedy be? I just want to try my hand at it. Cool. And I was like, dude, what about for jean shorts?

And he's like, Oh, that would be so fun. And I was like, okay. And we get talking later and I was talking to Zane and I was just like, well, let me ask you something. I was like, I feel like I want to do something before I die. Not that I think I'm going to be anything spectacular. You've always said this though. Yeah, I was like, I just don't want to live my whole life without trying it. Like how much would it cost? What would it take?

I want to make a song, not even an album, not an EP, just one song. I want to make one. I want to just, I want to know what that experience is like. I want to do it. And Zayn was just like so fired up and he was like dude i would do that for you in my sleep it's no problem and um then it comes down to it and he's like i would the more i'm thinking about dude i would love to just like help you and brad out i think it'd be so fun i wanted to get to know brad and my man he was just like and you guys don't have to pay me for that

and if you guys would let me write for jean shorts i'd give you the song for free too i was like whoa hold on you're a worse negotiator than Scott. I should be paying you to do both of these things. You're doing, I should be paying you for it. You're like, just don't pay me anything for all this work I'm going to do. So who knows? Maybe we'll get someone to help us out with the videos. That's great. Maybe I'll get a song out of it. Maybe we'll write some songs for jean shorts and record them at his studio. Music videos. He's does he have like a specific,

like, is it, is like a legit thing? Like, have you been there? Uh, we had plans to go and, I didn't end up being able to make it.

So I know, I know he has like a standalone, like he has a studio and it's a pretty like, yeah, legitimate operation. Is this the guy I golfed with? Yeah. Yeah.

Yeah. What's his group's name? Utah. Is it Utah? Yeah. Yeah. He does a bunch of stuff within music, but that. Is this the guy I golfed with? Yeah, yeah, yeah. What's his group's name? Utah. Is it Utah? Yeah. He does a bunch of stuff within music, but that's one of them. Yeah. He's like in a duo.

Anyway, he was the man and you might get some fun out of it. That's awesome. Yeah, it really was encouraging. More Gene Schwartz stuff just real quick. We last week, I sent you a voicemail about this. We posted on Gene Schw shorts our worst performing video of all time and i went to bed that night excited about it this isn't clickbait this isn't like okay he's just you know spinning this the right way we did this like christmas cookie taste test

and i knew i i told brad four weeks ago probably i was like before before we were ever landsliding yeah yeah this was like on the way to the treehouse i sent brad a voicemail i was like, before, before we were ever landsliding. Yeah. Yeah. This was like on the way to the tree house. I sent Brad a voicemail. I was like, I want to try a new style of videos and I know we're going to upload them and they're going to be, they're going to be awful. They're not going to perform well. And I know that it's going to be a 10 out of 10, the 10th. Yeah.

The worst out of 10. Yeah. And it's going to be okay. And it kind of all came true because we posted it and it truly was, I mean, it, it really flopped, but I i mean there was still every single comment was like this was such a fun video idea so this was so fun it just didn't yeah depending on what you define it as people that loved it loved it anyone who watched it seemed like they loved it yeah yeah so it was kind of encouraging of like we have 140 000 subscribers

and only like like 12 000 people watched it in the first 24 hours. I mean, it was a brutal ratio, but at the same time, it was like every 200 comments, people were like, this was so fun. You guys are so natural. This was so easy to watch. It felt like another Ghostrunners episode. I was like, we're onto something and we don't have it yet, but we're going to find it. We're going to find it and we're going to freaking do it. And we don't have, I'm just so encouraged that we can, I really hope and I pray that we can find something where we don't have to be in character. We don't have to write scripts. We can be ourselves.

Zane's going to write our scripts. Zane's going to do it for us. And we can just be rap artists. That's the innocence. We don't want to have to be characters. We just want to be gangster rap. Hover! Hover!

Shit! Gangsta rap. I really was. I was encouraged. I was like, this is cool. So we might keep, Ryan and I still need to figure out kind of what the long-term play is. And we've already filmed a bunch of other videos that are going to go out. But I think sometime January, February,

you might be seeing a big shift. Yes. Post-retreat. Post-retreat. I'm going to put it out there right now. I know, well, whatever. Just what are your thoughts from a fan standpoint, but also can you put yourself in the eyes of maybe a not-so-loyal fan?

Switching the name from Gene Schwartz Comedy to Jake and Brad, what are our thoughts? Long-term, short-term, what are our thoughts? Let us know. We've been trying to figure branding stuff out as well. Yeah, yeah So yeah. Yeah.

Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. I'm really excited about that potential shift as well. And it's going to be really, really, it is really hard to be like, okay, this video is performing. Not what we're used to. Quote unquote.

You know, like, but then you realize like how valuable deep fans are. Like we've seen the value of the depth of our width. Yeah. Loyal fans for ghost runners and like how amazing we can have live events and people will come you know and then i remember trey telling us about a specific guy i guess i shouldn't say his name just because it's not a great story about him but like he has millions of followers on tiktok and he's like having a hard time selling you know tour tickets tour tickets. Like, yeah.

There's a difference in like your fandoms for different guys. And so like, even Scott, you asked about, have you seen whatever guy that does these cooking things on Tik TOK? And I thought to myself, I don't know because I don't know very many people's names that I like on Tik TOK. And so it's like, we want to go past the idea of, Oh yeah, I've seen those guys videos a few times, but I don't know who they are to are. To like, no, we want people to love us and to know who we are personally. I love Jake and Brad. I love their videos that come out at 9am every Monday, Wednesday, Friday. It's like there's a schedule. It feels like a show. You know us. We never let you down. It's

like Ghostrunners. We're always going to be there on Monday for you. Essentially trying to take a very similar approach to how we accidentally gained this popularity with the Ghostwriters to like, okay, now we can be more intentional about using that same thing. So, cause on the surface, I want to be bummed at like,

wow, we got no views on this, but then I look at it. I'm like, okay, this video is 20,000 views. And what we did, we just talked in front of a camera and that's getting more views than what

our podcast gets. So it's like, this is good. And I was fun. I would say it was easier and it was more fun. Like, right. Like, and it only took what? 15 minutes of filming.

Right. Took Justin a little longer, 15 minutes. But that's still, I mean, that's work we didn't have to do. Right. And so it just could be cool if we could figure that out in the future. And something else I thought of too,

there was a time where we were like, hey, we're not gonna be able to get this channel from Trey. We might have to start over. If we started over, we wouldn't be getting 20 000 views on christmas cookie taste test correcto mundo yeah that's absolutely true yeah if we do a gangster rap uh it has to be gangster rap it can't just be rap i'm gonna bring brad in just for adlibs i will i will use the word correcto mundo you have my word I'm walking down this correctomundo.

You come in like just in between my sentences. Yeah. Correctomundo. Maybe we make it a little more reggaeton. Boom. Tickle. Tickle. Boom. Tickle.

Boom. Tickle. Boom. Tickle. Boom. Tickle. Boom. Boom.

Boom. Boom. Boom. Boom. Boom. Boom. Boom. Boom.

Boom. Boom. Boom. Boom. Boom. Boom. Boom. Boom.

Boom. Boom. Boom. Boom. Boom. Boom. Boom. Boom.

Boom. Boom. Boom. Boom. Boom. Boom. Boom. Boom.

Boom. Boom. Boom. Boom. Boom. Boom. Boom. Boom.

Boom. Boom. Boom. Boom. Boom. Boom. Boom. Boom. Boom. Boom. Boom. Boom. Boom. Boom. Boom. Boom. Boom. Boom. Boom. Boom. Boom. Boom. Boom Yeah. I guess. Or an idea. I loved, love, love, love your guys' videos like that you did for the Chiefs Parade or the Justin Bieber concert.

Derek is always saying that. Like you guys in front of just random people is gold. Like I think you guys should do more like public interview type videos. That's fun too. I think that would be super fun. I would say Jake and I are more comfortable than some people at being a fool in front of other people you know like we can keep a straight face fall we can keep a straight face we can get a little too extra and not be like i'm sorry i did that to you you know i go interview people at a turkey trot and ask them if they saw any turkeys yeah that's fun too

i definitely love the format of it i think for me i need to get out of the rhythm of like hey we could do everything in my living room because that's what I've done for four years. Sure. It's like the idea of like, I have to go find an event. We have to find strangers. We have to get consent forms. Oh my gosh.

But it's like, I mean, it's still not that hard for if that's your job. Sure. So, you know. Yeah. How do you get out of that rhythm? Yeah, exactly. We've been reading this YouTube formula book and so much of it's about like knowing or knowing your audience or like knowing like letting letting the algorithm the youtube ai know who you are even as

your channel and i'm like i don't know if the youtube algorithm really knows we are comedy channel but like beyond that it's like yeah they do mechanics videos and then they're starbucks and then a minivan and pickleball right game nights yeah it's like okay sheltered kid and then they're conservative and then conservative yeah they're conservative until they do the woke jokes and then they're the woke people until they oh california versus texas it's like okay uh i've always wanted to it's like it maybe that's why it doesn't feel like it's hard to sell merch on these youtube channels it's hard to like get brand deals because it's like we don't have an identity right and so we don't have a name we are gene shorts and if you're on a golf course you would just introduce yourself that way

gene shorts gene shorts uh so anyway i think the idea of like establishing more of like this is the kind of channel we are we do this thing you know rather than obviously before it was like they're comedy but it's like okay everything is possible everything's comedy which i think trey does a great job because he has whatever, 2 million followers or whatever. Like, yeah, you can,

you can throw that net out there with that many followers, but we don't have that luxury right now, Jacob. And we are not as good at acting. Correct. Oh, Mundo. Yeah.

He's so good. So, um, cool. Anyway, just a little, a career update for you guys yeah thank you that's fun shout out jean schwartz shout out zane uh a little other update for you um let's not

spill over cried milk um but colon colon the milk was the one that was spilled uh i've been ousted of the guillotine league i don't think it was announced that I got out. I think last week. So Jake triplet Wednesday or whatever. Yeah. So we're down to three teams in each league. Brad has the most points scored both, both recently and cumulatively in one league. I feel great about my team.

I have the most points scored both, both gosh, you got both recently and cumulatively in the other league. I don't feel as good about my team. I have the most points scored both, gosh, both recently and cumulatively in the other league. I don't feel as good about my team as you should probably feel about your team. But I have Jalen Hurts who is like maybe going to be out for two or three weeks. He's kind of Hurts. Yeah. Nice.

I think my prediction, Lindsay Merchant, John Harris, they're going to win my league. They almost got out this week, didn't they? Maybe. Maybe not almost because Brad made a little boo-boo. Did you start Chase Claypool? correct no i started a guy i started i started debo samuel who like went out like the week before yeah so yeah just basically neglected my team like forgot about it luckily it didn't matter which i was kind of glad to see because it was it would have been really close because i would have started aaron jones and it would have been like i think we lost by 10 points or something but it didn't matter it

didn't matter so anyway yeah brad and i he's down to three i'm down to three we could face off in the tuesday v wednesday yeah because that's what jake jake yeah had that new wrinkle today was like yeah we're gonna do the winner of both leagues play each other and you can you can have like anybody on your team yeah and i was like holy like, holy cow. That's so fun. It's just all matchups. It's just like a research-based game. That would be kind of fun to have your pick of every NFL player for one week. There's no salary.

Yeah, just for one week. Real quick, Scott. Two quarterbacks. Two quarterbacks right now. If I could pick Mahomes and Josh Allen. Okay. Two running backs. Oh, boy.

Derrick Henry. Yeah, he's playing Houston this week. He tears him up. And McCrey okay oh over josh he goes yeah uh he gets he catches passes uh let's go justin jefferson smart and um davante adams okay so my risk here off and on off and on ride the roller coaster ride the roller coaster, ride the roller coaster. You're too. Colon Devante, too tall. Tied in Travis,

Kelsey, Travis, Kelsey, kicker, not Harrison, butker, Justin Tucker. Oh,

Scott's gonna lose. He went one for three last week. He'll bounce back. Walked right into that one. Defense. 40, 49ers. You're high on the 49ers. he'll bounce back and defense walked right into that one defense um probably be 49ers you're high on the 49ers

defense has got to be all matchups yeah that's fair yeah that's true fun whoever's playing the Texans you'd think

Texans or Cardinals or Broncos yes anyway that's that's the update on the guillotine league for those who care I could do an entire

fantasy football league podcast. That'd be fun. It's so fun until you get out and then it's like, I'm so grateful that we've gotten so far in the league. Yeah, I'm glad we're in two of them. So anyway, I have two quick just requests to the ghosties. And maybe you even know the answer to this. Do you remember you got so many gifts on your tour? So I'm sure you don't remember this, but there was one person that gave you a black

trucker hat that said Tallulah Brewing Company on it. I have no idea. I have reasons why I would like to know who you are. You're listening to this and you, and you know, you're the one that gave him that, uh, holler at us because yeah, I'll, I'll, I'll disclose more later. Uh, second thing is, uh, we're thinking eventually, I think, I'll, I'll disclose more later. Uh, second thing is, uh, we're thinking eventually, I think we should wait until we get some kind of brand deal for this of doing a coffee theme video. Yes. Similar to the Christmas cookie taste test. It would be a reasonably priced brand deal. We would, uh, promote some kind of coffee company. If you're somebody who has affiliations with coffee and would like to sponsor Jean Schwartz,

I think we could very easily integrate it into video. Yes. If you're able to like ship your coffee out, you would like us to talk about it. We have loyal fans, deep fans. They would love it. Uh, holler at us. Also, just if you want to sponsor the podcast at all, holler at us. So I have those things to say. Fun. Yeah. Uh, Rachel was, um, is on the topic of sponsoring the podcast uh brought some of the kids over to the promise house today they were gonna have a little christmas party or whatever and she sent me a video the kids were in here in the podcast studio just like having a good time and uh i one of the kids ford grabbed um atomic aardvark and it would have been a great plug to

put in there he was just like atomic aardvark by ryan guy he's like i bet a lot of guys like it that's why his name is ryan guy and then the other girl he's seven i think and then he was like in fourth grade it was like i don't know about this book yet but i think it's gonna be really popular literally doing an ad read yeah i was like did you have the video of this i do that's awesome yeah i do have the video um yeah i wasn't gonna well basically her rachel asked like the the kids parents like hey could like they use this and they were like we don't feel comfortable that's fair totally fine totally fine yeah yeah katherine's kind of worried about stuff like that too yeah totally i'm like posted anywhere i don't care yeah um a couple mediocre life updates uh because of some certain ghosties comments i don't want you

guys everything i don't look at every single comment uh i think because of the ghosties i'm now pro first look still need to talk to rachel about that but pro first look on the wedding day oh brad's gonna get huge thumbs down you're you're an aisle guy oh my gosh dude bill nye the aisle guy what tell me brad brad brad uh tell me tell me how you feel give me a little more i think a lot of people say the same thing of like it was really fun to share that first look time with just each other which can be very you know intimate and fun and also like when it came time and yeah efficiency wise you're able to take all the photos do the things and then when it came time to walk her down the aisle, I heard from both groom and bride, like it was still just as special. It was still emotional. My husband still cried. My, you know,

my wife still looked just as beautiful because that moment is still its own standalone, like beautiful, wonderful moment. Sure. Aside from the first look, it's pretty hard to argue because either way, like we don't know what the other version is you know what i mean like because i'm like how do you how do they know it's like that special compared to what i felt because they don't know but then again it's like how do i know what it feels like to have the first look one-on-one you know like yeah so it's fair that's that's either option is that bad because it's still looking at your wife yeah it really is just an amazing thing uh yeah anyway that's great i think do you do yourself so that's one um second one i got a call from mtv this week nothing's gonna happen because

that's how these things kind of work but they want to call though yeah i start with an email and then you know phone call uh some casting director wants me to be on a show and it's all about breaking musical world musical world records and i was like i'm probably not your guy but i was like it's good to get no casting agents maybe for like a future show or something and i do think we hit it off she said she was from montana and you know did she get an example of a musical world record so the host of the show is going to be twista who has the world record for like fastest most syllables wrapped or whatever that was buster rhymes or something um you know she might have said that he used to hold the record because i know weird al broke some sort of record either way twist yeah was known for being still good

yeah the reason she found me is the very first video and very first world record i ever broke with josh i broke the record for like fastest 100 meter dash while balancing a guitar and so i have that world record so you're the first one i ever shot and so she's like i mean that one was musical do you have any other like musical world records i was like that is by far the closest thing to musical that you will find you're like let's see i juggled an accordion on my head while i yeah ran a mile one time yeah so i don't think i'm really what they're looking for what a specific niche you know yeah she said it was mtv going on paramount plus so it is a you know major streamer like like a month from now we have this like random video of us you know yeah she said it was mtv going on paramount plus so it is a you know major streamer like like a month from now we have this like random video of us you know on jean shorts

doing some musical world record like where'd this come from i don't know i just thought it'd be kind of crazy to see like how far we could lift and walk with a piano like do they have a name for it already it's like some pun on music she didn't tell me i don't think i even asked like no strings attached how did the uh next trickshot superstar like how did that casting well maybe that was a little bit different because you're kind of like just affiliated with josh i think they whoever you know was doing the show do you know this guy or he did this called on like whistle sports became like the casting agent. And so Whistle Sports has used their community and their network. And gotcha.

I was at the very bottom of the list and got asked. So what was your like title on there? Do you remember? Was it just like fun guy or something like funny like that? Yeah. What did it? I don't know if I had a guy, if I had a title, but it would say your specialty. And that's what it was.

And so there was like a Harlem Globetrotrotter olympic athlete and mine said specialty fast food and i didn't you did say you said something about that i said like in my interview but like i definitely didn't like ask them to say that like it wasn't like i filled out a form or anything it was just like this guy's not gonna care like i was the only one not taking it seriously or the only one like trying to be fun on camera right and uh i was so proud of how it turned out. Oh yeah. You made it pretty far, right? Top four, top five.

Something up. Yeah. Yeah. Well, fourth, I think. Heck yeah. What was that on? Facebook watch. Oh, still out there.

I think it might be my Instagram bio. Link to it. Last mediocre life update. I wasn't even going to say this. Something we talked about earlier reminded me. Rachel and I, I think we finally found a church. We've been bouncing around for a while. Finally found one. I think we're going to do some premarital counseling about earlier reminded me. Rachel and I, I think we finally found a church. We've been bouncing around for a while. Finally found one.

I think we're going to do some premarital counseling through there. Good. Feels good. That's it. Well, I can ask you off the air if you don't want to say. It's okay. That's good to hear. Yeah.

It's nice to, it's hard shopping, you know, for churches. Yeah. It's no fun. I just feel so content. Very happy about it. Good. I'm glad. That's big.

Do you have mediocre life updates? Want to do a Pulture of the Week? week any other stories back to you back to you ellis the only other mediocre life update i have is that beau is using hand gestures a lot when he talks i think because of me and it's hilarious that is like he'll just be like i don't know we're gonna do we're gonna do this today and then tomorrow we're gonna watch it like that sounds cute oh it's so cute dude you ever do like the trump kind of yeah maybe i should start doing that yeah now bo i know we had a 7 30 bedtime last night we're gonna go 7 45 tonight okay no puking please no puking no spit up okay keep it all in the dum-dum yeah something like that don't be a dum-dum keep it in the dum-dum keep it in the

dum-dum okay uh no he's just like so it's something i don't know he's just like learning these hand motions and kind of the tone that he's saying is kind of similar to hattie he'll like he'll like kind of talk to rosie like uh hattie talks to beau like he'll be like no rosie you can't you can't eat that now, okay? You need to eat this. You can't put your mouth on that. You're going to choke, okay? And he's getting it directly from Hattie.

I think so, yeah. I mean, obviously a little bit of us too, but yeah, exactly. So it's just cute and fun, and he's a blast, man. They're all so fun. Rosie's so cute. And Hattie, when she's not screaming and crying, it's pretty good. Headbanging. Headbang. What's talking on your mind? Man, she's so up and down, which is great. It's great.

Okay, I know you guys ridiculed me when I brought up the World Cup a few weeks ago. Oh, dude, but Mbappe? Did you guys hear about, see any highlights or anything of the World Cup final this last week? Of course. We're sports fans. You did did yeah okay so messy messy three three four three npks oh yeah and then and then dude it was nuts so like i i have church awesome okay so i have church i have

church from 9 to 11 i have church from 9 to 11 the game was taking place from 9 to 11 so i don't really have any skin in the game with either of these countries, but I'm obviously very interested. Yeah. Obviously very interested in the result of the game. So I'm like, I'll just, I'll record it.

I'll watch it after. So I'm sitting in the first hour of church. Don't even check the score. Doing good. In between the, like when we're going to Sunday school, I'm like, ah,

let's just check the score. You know, let's see where we're at. I see. Why? Cause I don't know. Just curiosity killed the peck, man. All right. OK, so I see two oh Argentina. I'm like, I don't really need to stress about this. Like it's pretty much ballgame. So, you know, sitting in Sunday school, 30 minutes in or so. Let's let's take another look. Let's just see. Let's see if France got a goal. And I checked it right as France got their first goal.

And so now I'm kind of refreshing, keeping an eye on the score. Things got exciting. Yeah, let's see what's happening. You know, paying a little less attention in Sunday school. Then I see France scores a second goal. And I'm like, oh, baby. You're like, it's time to open up YouTube TV. So I open up YouTube TV.

We've all been there, brother. I open up YouTube TV and I'm sitting in Sunday school like this, just kind of like. Not even trying to like. I mean, I'm like sitting forward, you know, elbows on the knees, and I just am locked into this game for the last, you know, the last 30 minutes in the PKs of that game was just. And I got home and it was just me and Palmer.

Sam was playing in a pickleball tournament. And I'm like, I don't know. Palmer is is probably like what's happening to my dad right now because i'm just like walking around the house with my hands on my head i just keep saying i'm just like oh my gosh oh my gosh yeah and she's like wanting to like she's trying to get me to help her play with this like knitting set and i've never knitted anything in my life and i'm like you're gonna have to have your mom help you with that but yeah I just I could not believe that final I just like honestly of all the sports games I watched that was probably a top 10 like as far as crazy crazy I mean it's the biggest game in the world so the emotion of that is like it's just nuts it's crazy it was fun it's kind nuts. It's crazy. It was fun.

It's kind of, I felt about, well, the Vikings Colts game. Cause I had Jonathan Taylor and Justin Jefferson. So I was like, all right, I'm intriguing this game. And I'm checking a halftime, like, wow, 33, nothing. And then I started seeing things, but Rachel and I were out to lunch. And I was just like, man, whoever, whoever has the, you know, the joy of watching this is I think really enjoying themselves. It was what I was about to take a nap. And I was like, I'll just see what happens you know there's like four minutes left in this game

i was like dang it it kept going longer and longer didn't even get a nap yeah i mean it was so fun it was a great sports weekend in general like the world cup finals the vikings colts game which i was the same thing as you guys like i i saw they were just getting smoked and then i heard later somebody we're doing christmas at sam's family's house. And they're like, yeah, Vikings won in overtime. I was like, no, I did not.

Then yeah, she set a tight game and KU whooped up on Indiana. It was a great sports weekend. Yeah. I was, I was, whenever he was talking about the world cup, I was not going to say anything and just see if you were going to like say

anything. Just, just like, just stare for seven seconds afterwards. No, from anybody that cares about it did seem like it was like the craziest best game ever maybe if you are not a soccer fan just like the drama of that that okay but let me talk about soccer real quick the fact that 2-0 is like insurmountably big of a lead makes your sport a little broken to me yeah and it is especially in these big tournaments

because a lot of countries will try to get a goal and then just play defense the rest of the time because that's what's amazing about 33 to 0 is not insurmountable yeah you know and that's obviously like the biggest the record but like whatever 33 to 0 would be the equivalent to like 4-0 probably right you know 2-0 is the equivalent to 14 to 0 and we see that come back every week in the nfl yeah that's a good point that's that's where i'm just like 2-0 is like really that no and i've had the same grievances this because like a lot of games have been that way and then you know eventually maybe they tie it and then you settle it with penalty kicks which is like that's a whole nother game in itself. Yeah. Right. So.

All right. Thanks, Scott, for more football talk. Football Americano. We got a local local news story to tell you this about. I know we don't really talk about pop culture that much, but this one's kind of interesting. Well, we talked last week about Young Grave. That's right. Yeah. You have any any tick tocker news that you've seen this week bro let me think

um honestly the big one that i've read on twitter recently is this one that we're about to talk about um i should try and find stuff every week and just like ask you if i know about it yeah what do you think of a new segment brad with pop culture yeah brad talk britney griner is pretty big right now big tiktoker yeah well not tikt No, I don't, I don't see any of those, but I'm thinking about just. Just current events. Yeah. Yeah. You've been seeing this stuff from Dobroks.

I'm sure. I'm guessing. Oh, the, not the smile squad, the vlog squad. Is that what they're called? No. What's their content? Dobroks the store. Well, but what's his, what's his, what's his thing called?

His group? Yeah. His crew is the vlog squad, but Dobroks the store. I'm sure you've seen that totally it's when they uh are you gonna get i'm gonna probably what's it gonna be like when you shock no um no close yeah his name is dobrik so he made a pizza place d-o-u-g-h dobrik pizza place brick and mortar yeah cool dough brick so he made a pizza place d-o-u-g-h dough brick pizza place brick and mortar yeah cool dough brick and mortar dough brick and mortar yeah smart that's fun okay dough brick and mortar big pickleballer david dough brick yeah who is it these days brother patrick mahomes

go ahead you you you do a better job of summarizing the story than i do about the chief's thing real quick pickleball just remind me. I just saw what John Bellion looks like for the first time about two hours ago. Looks a lot like Tyson McGuffin. Yes. John Bellion? Bellion. I have to refresh my memory.

Not familiar. Whatever. Musician. He sings in a lot of EDM songs. Also, it's so fun talking to people who know music because I know nothing about music. So I just love quizzing them. And so I'm like, what does the industry think about blank? And I would just ask him about artists and he can like tell you what

people think of him do you remember a few i asked him about a lot of people that i was like charlie pooth and he was like one of one oh yeah yeah yeah he's unicorn well i knew that but i also know that he could come across pretty cheesy on tiktok so i didn't know if he had lost the respect of like people in the music world it's perfect that's. That's what's crazy. Yeah. I love watching his videos. And he was like, no, no, everyone like knows how talented he is. And he said, John Bellion might be the most talented even of anyone. I'm not very familiar. I mean, I know who he is, but I don't know much about him.

He said what interesting is he said it's very common in music for people to own. Like no one just owns their entire song. You had all these songwriters on it. You had all these like, you know, producers and engineers. He's like, but John Bellion is doing everything.

He's like one of the only people who is truly like owns a hundred percent of a lot of the music he makes. Yeah. It's like, he's pretty talented as about being Blanco. Cause I've heard he's kind of like a, and he was like, not, not the guy.

He doesn't have a lot of people's respect. I was like, Oh, interesting. He's more of like a DJ Khaled guy can get the people in the room, but maybe isn't doing that much. Big Blanco! Does he do that in every one of his songs? Not really.

I will say the song he did with Justin Bieber, it's like Justin Bieber and Benny Blanco, but I'm like... Oh, Benny Blanco? Benny Blanco. I thought he said Big Blanco. Big Blanco. But that song, the background music is really not there's like hardly anything there what's the song it's the lonely yeah lonely but it's like

just basically just justin bieber singing i'm like why is it so curious like did he just yeah did he pay enough or like did he yeah help out enough to where he gets his name in the title yeah it's lonely featuring benny blanco yeah he doesn't get artist credits he's like in the time anyway well that's how like uh you remember timberland like with justin timberlake like he did so many of his like he was like his producer essentially and so like yeah he wasn't even really on a lot of his stuff like i'm bringing sexy back he was just going yeah you know but he was also doing like the beats and all that kind of stuff similar comparison ryan lewis with mclemore zane said ryan lewis is like very talented see but he has that yeah he. He always has the hooks, right?

He's the one singing those hooks. Gotcha. Yeah. So maybe he's doing a little more than Timbaland. But still like you see his name, but you're like, it's a Macklemore song.

Totally. Even though Ryan Lewis is probably the talented one. Yeah. That's how Kanye got his start, right? It was like he was producing for all these guys and then they're like,

this guy's actually a pretty good rapper too. Really? I don't know much about Kanye. That's, I think that's accurate. Sorry if it's not. How? What else? This is kind of fun. That's, I think that's accurate. Sorry if it's not. Oh! What else?

I was trying to think how to do a Kanye, but. It's kind of fun learning about musicians. I don't know. I didn't necessarily like retain it enough to educate,

but like now that we're spurring it on, I'm kind of remembering. That's probably most of it. I'll let you know if I think of anything else, but. Hey,

I'm about to be friends with Zayn, so I'll ask him. Hey, when we're writing with Zayn. Yeah. Cool. Yeah. Sorry.

Nothing about Young Gravy though. Nothing about Young Grave. I don't know if he has the industry's Yeah. Cool. Nothing about Young Gravy, though. Nothing about Young Grave. I don't know if he has the industry's respect yet. His name's Young Gravy, so how could you not have the respect there? Okay. Chief Zaholic, though. Okay. So in my notes, I wrote down Chief Thief, which is perfect because I'm like, why aren't

people actually calling him this? It's a great like moniker. Chief Thief. It's like Chief Keef. Yeah. But I haven't seen people call it that. It's my own. No one can take it.

It's my name. Wait, what's Chief Keef? Oh, he's a rapper. He's kind of, I think. Gangsta rapper or just a rapper? Meef. Yeah. But I haven't seen people call it that. It's my own. No one can take it. It's my name. Wait, what's Chief Keef? Oh, he's a rapper. He's kind of, I think. Gangsta rapper or just a rapper? Mumble rapper. Good. Chief Keef.

Give him an example for people who don't know Mumble. Pratt just starts scatting. Chief of the Keefin. Okay. So there's this guy. What's it go at? Chiefaholic. Chiefaholic. Chiefaholic. He's not like super popular, but like as a pretty big Chiefs fan, I was like somewhat aware of this guy. I was going to say, if you're a, if you're on Twitter as a Chiefs fan,

you'd know who he is. Yeah. You're like, oh yeah, I think I've seen this guy's tweets. He'll like make some memes. He's kind of like every now and then he'll go viral. Cause he'll place these crazy large bets and like sometimes they hit it's like wow this guy made a fortune off of this random player scoring a touchdown eighty thousand dollars for the chiefs to beat the bills earlier this year he's lost so he's set eighty thousand correct he throws crazy money down and but he's like a chiefs fan he goes to all the games not only does he go to the home games he goes to like a lot of away games what does he look like he's always dressed as a big wolf yeah i think the nfl was kind of like hey you're the chiefs

you can be the chiefs but you can't have a native american mascot so our mascot is casey wolf so this guy dresses up as a wolf as well do you know why actually why they are wolves no because back in the day the fans of like kind of like the browns are like the dog pound like all the guys dressed up like dogs they were the wolf pack back in the day that was like they're like like in the day, the fans of like kind of like the Browns or like the dog pound, like all the guys dressed up like dogs. They were the Wolf Pack back in the day. That was like they're like super fans. 70s or 60s or something like that. Oh, nice. How did we transition out of that?

When did we become Chiefs Kingdom instead of the Wolf Pack? Well, I think it was like it was kind of like one of those like, I don't know. I guess my vision of it is like there's like one section of the stadium that's like the Wolf Pack. We just dress in wolves. They howl every time a touchdown that's fun i don't know all i know is that one of our friends craig coring has like an original license plate that says like wolf pack on it cool it's like this really vintage cool thing that's how i learned about that it was a fun fact though fact check me if you want to on that but anyway he's wearing a wolf costume and so he goes to a lot of away games. Because he's super rich.

And he's sitting up close a lot of the time. You can always see the wolf front row. And this whole news story started maybe on like, I don't know, a few days ago. And it was just like, hey, no one's heard. A lot of people on Twitter are like, no one's heard from Chief Zahalik. People are concerned. He's tweeting all the time. His close friends are tweeting.

I haven't heard from him in three days. He hasn't texted me back. Yeah. So it starts off like, hey, pray for this guy. He's a, you know, chief's kingdom. We need you to concern, but no one knows his real name. That's right. Always gone by chief's a hollick. Occasionally, you know, you'll hear like things. He's like, okay, state alum. He talks, you know, a little bit of personal life. Yeah. You know, I used to, there was some tweets. Like I used to work in a warehouse, $12 an hour. Now I'm managing four

warehouses. Yeah. That's how I can afford all these huge. Yeah. Okay. Congrats on your warehouse management. Yeah. Wolfpack. Well, it came out.

The reason we've not heard from him is because he is in an Oklahoma prison. Cause he has a $200,000 bail right now that he can't pay because he robbed a bank and it has come out. We find out his real name. Everyone's able to look into these public records. He has robbed a lot of things over the years. He has quite the criminal record and he's probably robbed a lot of things that he hasn't got caught for. Yes, it's insane. It's the theory now is that he's probably on his way to the away games. He's stopping and robbing someone. And that's how he's paying for everything. Yeah. And he finally got caught. And it's usually like these. Well, I think he's gotten

arrested before, though, maybe. Yeah, it was like misdemeanor theft and like, you know, nothing that serious yet, but all robbery. But yeah, it's very interesting. Like these robberies that apparently he's probably doing are like in small towns. You know, it's not like like a payday loans in a small town or so. So it's like, yeah, they're not going to have the most sophisticated security. And so the one that he actually robbed that got him in trouble was in Bixby, Oklahoma, which is where Emily Duckworth grew up. Yeah. Just so crazy. Yeah.

But I mean, he's literally like this guy. Yeah. He's acting like he's like some successful guy, you know, super anonymous. And it turns out, I forget his name. It's Xavier or something yeah actually it's xavier and uh yeah he's just robbing people and just and the craziest like the other funny thing is that like he'll like try to you know post things and be like hey like this money right here like if you if you uh you know do an auction for this picture that i have of a

friend of mine we'll give all the money to the 15 and my home 15 and my homies which is like patrick mahomes is like you know children's charity kind of thing and it's like i don't think that money's going to my homies even if it was it's dirty money dirty yeah clean that money so yeah it's kind of interesting story i mean it sounds like a pretty good documentary in the making like this is huge spanish robbing places on the way to like the texans game that's an insane behavior. Yeah. Well,

and this, I think this ended up being false, but did you see the, yeah, it was things about like that. He was literally robbing the banks in his mask. I wanted it to be true. So bad.

I totally believed. Oh, I did too. I was like, exactly. Like, I was like, how are these people not connecting this,

but I guess not full costume. the just the wolf just normal costume would be next level just you see that guy walking into your bank you're like i gotta get out of the safe right now there was a picture that someone found someone really did rob a bank in a red hat and a wolf mask in like 2016 but it didn't line up like that was a different guy but it was so funny when you see these two pictures actually like here's chiefs of ho holic and a wolf costume and a red hat. We know he robs banks. Here's a wolf guy with a red hat and a bank. It was so funny. I mean, on one hand, it's like, this is such a bizarre story. On the other hand, it's like anybody who's a super fan of a NFL team is probably has a few screws loose. You know what I mean?

I think I said that when I went to the Bengalsles chiefs game last year i was like anyone who's like traveling yeah and like screaming at other grown men and like in section 344 like yelling their head off you ain't quite right this is like yeah way too much of your life here like yeah we obviously care a lot about the chiefs but there's boundaries in my living room i care a lot about the we're not going negative 30 you know polar vortex for the chiefs better not dean chiefsaholic definitely would have though even some of the outfits that these people have like have you seen some of the raider fans like that just have i mean oh it's like silver paint and yeah yeah i'm like how long does it take you to get ready 100 to go to a chiefs get it is funny to think about yeah especially like a raiders fan like yeah just think of a raiders fan and think about them having to wake up early on a sunday to put their makeup

on right honey are you ready yet no dear i gotta finish my eyeliner can you help me get my shoulder pads on they always get caught i love the you remember the guy uh i think he was a chiefs fan only but like the one that had yeah he was because he's a chief only fans well yeah but he had all the arrows uh yeah it was like you know chief's arrows in like a away team's jersey i love the idea of him like wearing that while he's driving into this thing he doesn't get dressed in the parking lot you know it's like all these arrows like essentially like the idea of like yeah the chiefs have like shot you know all these arrows into the other team and i just love the idea of him like pulling up in his you know whatever toyota corolla just you know crammed in there with that listening at our rap

song yeah so correct the mundo correct the moon hey that'd be the raiders fan you were spot on about casey wolf um named after the team's wolf pack a group of boisterous fans who sat in temporary bleachers at municipal stadium oh wow municipal stadium like, yeah, back in the day. He replaced war paint, which was a horse ridden by a man wearing a full Indian chief headdress. Which they brought back for a while. And then Eric Berry was too scared of it. Yeah. Another funny thing.

Watch the Eric Berry war paint. It's a real, it's a horse phobia. I forget what it's called. But there are people who are just deadly afraid of horses. Pretty interesting to watch, though. I have the same thing with deer. Yeah, deer phobia. Somebody sent something about like these new deers are getting or not new deer these these deers are

getting this new can you stop saying deers yeah so what is it doors doors yeah these doors are getting i i i know it's not deers but but i i jokingly have said deers so much that i i definitely was not trying to be funny right there. These deer. Because you corrected yourself. You're like, there's these new deers. Sorry. Sorry. The deers are new.

It's the sickness that they're getting that's new. Sorry. That's my mistake. The deers are the same. So all these deers are getting sick and they're no longer scared of humans. Scared? Yeah. They're no longer scared of humans. Kids are scared Yeah. They're no longer a scared of humans.

Kids are a scared of the dark. Home alone. Anyway, let's do some s'mores. One, two. Poultry of the week? Poultry.

take it well yeah first of all i go to take in the pants and they're like, and just the weird creepy man uh because this young girl is helping me and she's like all right let me go get my manager i'm gonna help you and this old guy it's just like she's a beautiful girl isn't she and laughs and laughs and laughs for a very long time it was just weird that same comment just continued laughing all that's all i said is like she's beautiful isn't she and i did not want to give him any attention i didn't want to be like even like fake like yeah and it really creeped me out so but later i will say he was working there he also worked there with her and um but and me and the girl kind of went to the back, she was like measuring and figuring out what, how the pants need to be hemmed. I did get to talk to her. I was like, are you like comfortable? Are you like safe here? Like with this guy, you felt like that much from

him. Yeah. She kind of like heard him say that. I was like, that can't make her feel completely comfortable. And she was like, yeah, he's a little off, but he's harmless. I was like, okay. Just wanted to make sure. But yeah, poultry of the week was weird creepy old man and you're like i'm engaged but you are beautiful do you need a mcgruff house 32 waist yeah jay-z in the corner yeah i saw that saw that. Wow. Yeah, you said all that. Yeah, that was the exact monologue. My poultry of the week is Home Depot. The Home Depot closest to my house. It's seven minutes away.

I know because I've had to rush there right before it closes. No, not the Merriam. I hate the Merriam one. Okay. Which maybe that's part of the poultry. There's a Shawnee one. Every time I go to the Merriam one, I think, why do I not learn? This one stinks. this one's so much

worse it's so much busier they don't have stuff in stock it's messy whatever uh the shawnee one's great shawnee one was great i drove past it the other day and it had this like these plywood like spray painted things it said close for emergency i was like that's intriguing i am intrigued by that sentence yes it makes it seem like the okay go on the whole store whole store not like the the parking lot was even close that's a big store to close for an emergency big emergency yeah so let's talk about this so so then like i don't go to home depot that often anymore because i'm really high in with ls custom creations not using like the crappy wood anymore but that i'm gonna write a note i'm gonna put a parking lot um but like maybe three or four in with ls custom creations not using like the crappy wood anymore so that's good.com

um but that reminds me i'm gonna write a note um but like maybe three or four days later i am like oh i need to go to home depot to grab something real quick for else because creations and i pull in and it's the same like it's the same scene like and there's actually this it's not a cop but it's like a private security company car. And so it looks like a cop car kind of. And so I'm like, all right, I'm going to get a pull and see what happened here. And what happened was there was- Termites.

No. Any other guesses? What could take down a company? I'm going to guess something structural in the building, like a water leak or something like that. Okay. Like a pipe holds up the structure. Yeah, pipe burst.

I'll say it's closer than termites. Like you're closer. Anything else? Shoot. What's the opposite of a water leak? Fire. Yeah. So there was a fire in the store.

Fire leak. A fire. Yeah. A big old fire leak. It was a gas leak. No. There was a fire. Apparently, it was a very small fire in the garden section.

Not sure. Maybe. Seems like it should be the wettest part. Yeah. Right. They're just, just yes spraying everything rainforest climate um and he said you know it's pretty minimal fire but because of the insurance of everything they have to literally get every single product every single thing out of home

depot store and get all new products and so he's like no so yeah so there's literally like you know 20 you know semis every single day getting things loaded, you know, other semis coming in. You know, he's like, it's probably not going to be back open until like mid to late January. And yeah. And I think that's a, cause he's like, cause technically it could be fire damage, but I'm like, if it was as truly as like small of a fire as this guy's saying it's like that's ridiculous and so my my poultry of the week is that i no longer get to go to my favorite home depot i have to go to freaking mariam can i ask you some questions that you won't know the answer to you please my mom loves this yeah me too all right could they i'm gonna have answers okay yeah are they taking the wood away so they can fire treat it and then later sell it okay this is not specifically wood do you understand it's like everything Are they taking the wood away so they can fire treat it and then later sell it? Okay. This is not specifically wood. Do you understand?

It's like everything in the entire store. Sure. Sorry. Sorry. Yeah, I guess that's right. So a product two football fields away from the garden section has to be taken out. Like a washer dryer is no longer eligible. Are they taking it away?

They're going to fire treat it, smoke treat it, and then get it back in stores to sell. I think that they're going to do like liquidation. Like there's these places like there's one in kansas city actually where it's like you bid on a palette of random things a lot of times like amazon returned items or something like that so i do not think they're coming back in the store i think that's part of like yeah you have to remove everything get brand new everything it's too but that's our policy or else they just have customers remove it by selling it all for 50 off exactly that's i had that thought too i was customers remove it by selling it all for 50% off. Exactly. That's, I had that thought too. I was like, where's this stuff going? How do I make a business out of it? Essentially. Any other questions?

How big was the fire? From what I understand, it was 28 cubic feet. Cubic. That's not bad. Yeah. Cubic. That's LinkedIn Wastetime Heights. Yeah. Be kind of funny though, if it was literally like a fire, I mean like. Three by three by three. That's not that big actually. That's basically three by three by three three by three like something the size of a small campfire and then they have to liquidate the entire my guess is it's like it was a christmas tree that caught on fire i don't really know if that's true that's that's a joking guess but i have no idea what the fire cause was he just said it was in the garden section i don't know what is

that flammable in there christmas trees are very flammable. Christmas trees are, but they're not inside. Not the fake or not the real ones. They're outside. Anyway, that's my poultry. Speaking of making a business out of things. Yeah. Steve Coop, Rachel's dad, just texted me,

Jake, there's a golf course here in town that's going to be sold on the sheriff's sale. I don't know what the sheriff's sale is. In March, 18 holes, very nice course. It's an 18 hole golf course. I guess they do have Gene Schwartz country club. Gene Schwartz country. Yeah. Hey, investors, possibly you. Yeah. All right, Scott, you got poultry. Yeah. My poultry of the week is car problems. So the old Kia has been pretty reliable since I've owned her.

I've noticed recently that I will park my car at my house, start it up the next day, and everything will be reset. So the clock's reset, gauges have reset. I'm like, that's odd. And so then one day I drove down to my park, playing pickleball, car's sitting out

in the cold, get in there or I first go to unlock. It does nothing. I'm like, that's a red flag. So I have to open up with the key just, you know, manually get in there. Not I mean, doesn't even like attempt starting completely dead. Dang. So I call my brother in law, who's an ace with cars. Ace.

Ace. Yeah. Ace Ventura with cars. And we're just kind of talking through it like four or five minutes put the key back in car starts right up and i'm like wow how about that talk about ace yeah so he's like oh you might have some corrosion on your battery or whatever i get home and i facetime him we're looking at the battery he's like no no corrosion you got another problem and i'm like that's not what i wish it were corrosion yeah i was like give me

some that sounds pretty easy to fix yeah so anyways it uh it started fine and then the other day at pickleball again getting my car nothing and so his advice to me was just go wiggle the battery a little bit like wiggle the cords or there's only one thing that'll solve this yeah it's scary right i'm like and i asked him i was like this might be a stupid question but like can i keep going so i got out of my car i'm done i'm done i'm not done i will do it one more time go ahead you have to start on my car opened up the hood correct um yeah so i i and i asked like is this a stupid question like what can i touch on this battery without being yeah that's shocked 100 so anyways i get out of my car uh open up the hood and i literally just wiggle

one of the cords and sung while i did it yeah uh but immediately my car alarm starts going off and i'm like it is alive so yeah so literally now i've done that twice where we've done what wiggle wiggle I don't know what happened. I'm not ready. I'm not ready for the music booth. The first note that came out of me was an accident. I was like, well, I guess I got to follow my lead here. That's amazing.

You're not Charlie Puth. I didn't have it. That was an accident. Whoops. So, so calling back to our life lessons learned learned if it doesn't work first time just wiggle it To jingle to that song today. Oh sure probably not Yeah, my poultry is with car problems one of the car problems are like Being able to breathe out of your nose

You just don't realize how take it for granted is when you your car just starts every time and i will say it's like amplified in the winter i was just about to say like a similar thing is like heat in the winter or ac in the summer once you don't have it like this sucks oh heat in the winter though is like you can't use your car because you can't defrost i remember in high school correct scout yeah the noog struggled a little bit i had no heat yeah steve had to carry the noog yeah anyway sorry about that scott hope it figured out soon as long as i wiggle it's hard to do quiet all right let's do s'mores let's do do s'mores. Brad won last week, Christmas movies. Home Alone takes it.

Probably shouldn't let you have Home Alone with the sixth pick. Home Alone 2. Home Alone 2. Yeah. Yeah, I went Brad probably 60%, me around 30%. Scott about 10%. Scott's having a good time, as my dad likes to say. Scott's having a good time.

Happy to be here. Your dad commented that? No, no, no. That's what my dad's thing is. Anytime he's reading off scores. We got Jake in first place with 60%. Brad in second place with whatever. And Scott's having a good time.

Scotty boy's having a good time. Sweet, sweet, sound as fish. This week, it is the Mount Rushmore of snack foods. Brad, what is the order going to be? We're going to go, I think I'm just uh brad scott jake okay i love it in a second um okay snack food so we did talk a little bit about this beforehand uh about what constitutes a snack and i think we're just gonna like figure out how judges ruling as we go because yeah yeah it's just hard enough. Okay. My first snack food.

I will say just as I was thinking about this, I was thinking having people over for the chiefs game. That's my kind of snacks. Oh, I was thinking solo snack, which is great. Hey, okay. Hey, everyone can snack differently. They're your oats. Do you understand?

Oh, I just gave mine away. Oh, don't pick oats. Don't pick oats. I'm going to go Quaker oatmeal with my number one pick. Oh, no. They't pick oats. Don't pick oats. I'm going to go Quaker oatmeal with my number one pick. Oh, no. They're your oats. My number one pick, I'm going to keep it classy. I'm going to keep it classic.

I'm going to, and tell me if this is- What in the world does that mean? Tell me if this is too vague. I'm going to go chips and dip. Do I get all dips? It's fine with me. Scott, how do you feel about it? I didn't have anything like that on my list.

I'm okay with it. Like salsa? Salsa? We're talking queso. We're talking guacamole. I mean, it's just all gold. It is broad, but we'll let it slide. Great.

I'm not going to fight you on it then. Chips and dip. Yeah, I just think it's one of those things where when you see it, it's like, oh, yes. It's just like, thank you. Like that's, that's wonderful. It's a safe pick.

Buffalo chicken dip. Buffalo chicken dip. Spinach artichoke. Oh, Buffalo chicken dip with some Frito. Yeah. Spinach artichoke. Yeah.

Yeah. Keep talking. Chili cheese. Dip. Sure. I'm not big on it. Cause I've never, I don't think I've ever had it,

but I was trying to find one that you could say, no, I don't want that That's a walk. It's different homemade guac is great. Okay, so, you know, have you guys ever had table side guac? You never had it one time in San Antonio and I didn't know what was happening Like I just never I didn't make guac in front of you They they pull up a little table and they just start like mortar and pestle on this thing. And it was right next to me. And I didn't know we ordered that. I didn't know it was a thing.

Was it like a hibachi restaurant? They like flick some guac in your mouth. Hi! Yeah, they get the pit and they just chuck it at you. Vamanos! Correcto mundo. Okay, good pick. Scotty?

All right. My first pick is something that I think attracts a little more attention at a Chiefs game than chips and dip. And that is puppy chow. Had some this weekend. Oh, it is. It never gets old to me, man. I hound that stuff.

I just love it. It's my favorite food of all time. It's a little messy. I'll say that. It is messy, but you get to lick your fingers afterwards. You get all that goodness on there. You're a finger licker, huh? I'm a finger licker. Oh, I'm a wiper. I would lick your fingers afterwards. You get all that goodness on there. You're a finger licker, huh? I'm a finger licker.

Oh, I'm a wiper. I would lick, then wipe, and then you got to, at some point, you just got to be honest with yourself. You got to get some water on it. Yeah, yeah. Okay. It's just going to be sticky.

Lick, wipe, wash. See, the issue with that is you don't lick until the very end, so then, therefore, you're watching the Chiefs game with nasty fingers. Oh, it's worth it. What do you need your left hand for while you're watching the Chiefs game?

Superstitious, you put it on your pants i'm a big come on guys yeah put my hand behind my head um puppy chow is obviously great though if you don't know what puppy chow is it's muddy buddies a lot of people call that too but it's really a lot of people actually like i've heard that like as the name brand like the chex mix version but people actually like people yeah people will call it muddy buddies it's che's Chex, peanut butter, chocolate, powdered sugar. Good. Did you guys grow up calling it Scuttlebuttle? Nope.

Dang it. Sorry. Did you want me to go along? Dang it, dude. We're not talking about the same thing. You guys are never going to be able to mess with me. You're going to laugh. Yes, we will.

No, you will not. I guarantee you we will. Your face. I guarantee you we will. Your face. I can't do it. I can't do it. You're called Scuttlebutt. So dumb. I got to choose my battles better.

Never again. Never again. There's only one turkey truck. We'll get another one soon. Yeah, no, we will. Nobody least expects it. Okay, I'm just going to go back to back rapid fire here. First pick, Tostitos Hint of Lime Chips.

Okay. I do remember you having those in your car after a basketball game. And I was like, can I have some of those? They're awesome. They are anything but a hint i'll say that i think they're they're limey sure but it's good okay false advertising but speaking of false advertising if you see it up by the way pepsi where's my jet no it's on my list to watch fascinating documentary yeah what you heard of it i don't

even know pepsi where's my jet peps, where's my jet? No. Pretty cool. I'm sure people older are probably more familiar with this story. Pepsi ran an ad in like 1995, 1999, somewhere in there. They were just like, introducing Pepsi points. For every Pepsi you drink, you get a point. And six points gets you cool sunglasses. And 20 points gets you a bike. Seven million points gets you a Harrier and 20 points gets you a bike. 7 million points gets you a Harrier jet.

And this kid was basically just like, does all the math, does all the, you know, a ton of stuff. And it was like, this is way worth it. Harrier jets were $32 million. You totally would have been that kid. Yeah. Luckily I was not of age. And anyway, it's about this whole, just like what ended up being a groundbreaking case in law now of false advertising and like what what does a commercial problem because there was no like fine print on the commercial there was no like oh i see no terms and conditions apply

there was no like whatever so was that how it always was back in the day until that i don't because now it's like you see so many like fine print things they made it seem like it was a shock to them not to see fine print. I don't know if that's just them talking about that now in the future or in the current day. Either way, whatever. False advertising. Hint of lime chips by themselves. Yeah.

Straight up. No dip. Don't need it. Plenty of flave. Okay. Plenty of flave, I would say, for sure. Second. Not too hinty.

Those peanut butter filled pretzel things. Really? Awesome. Great combination of a kind of filling after a while and salty proteiny edgy love those things what how do you feel about them i like them i think i like them fine but every time i eat them i eat a hundred of them oh yeah i i don't know if i really am like truly liking them or not. Maybe that's why I've just been overweight my whole life.

Cause I'm just like, I'll eat them. I'll do it right there. I'll keep eating them. But it's one of their most addicting things I've ever encountered. I don't buy them very often. Do you find yourself doing things a hundred times that you don't enjoy? Like if you ever found yourself like,

dang it, I just ran a mile a hundred days in a row. Yeah. Oh my gosh. I've just been on 100 diets yeah oh my gosh i didn't use my legs for 100 days oh my gosh i was trying to think about uh no did i say i don't enjoy them you said i'm not sure if i like them but i just had 100 of them yeah yeah you're right liking is too like extreme of a thing. Of course I like them fine, but I don't love them. But I, yeah, at the same time, they're so addicting.

Love them. I, and I get it. So I'm not, I'm saying it's a good pick. Great snack. Yeah. Scott? My second pick is a staple, has been a staple in my life. A staple? A staple.

Stapler. Okay. Just one? Ever since I can remember. Just a single staple? No dip? Okay. No. No. Yeah. You're not going to dip that in ranch or anything?

Staple. Okay. My next pick is going to be Quaker Oats. No, dude. All right. Go ahead, Scott. Anyways. Gardettos is my number two pick.

That was genuinely, I was like, remember earlier I was like, Scott, what are you going to pick? Yeah. And like jokingly, of course you're not going to tell me. And then I had, in my head I was like, I need to put Gardettos down because it made me think of it when, when I, yeah. Yeah. Gardettos. I've, I've eaten those ever since I can remember. And they've, I mean, until puppy chow really is like my, I will eat those any day of the

week. I feel like some of them just don't even taste good to me. That's what I was about to say. Surprise, surprise. I have opinions on this as well. Really? The Gardettos are just like, uh, you know, what's a good comparison to this? LeB have opinions on this as well uh really the gardettos are just like uh you know what's a good comparison to this lebron james on the calves like before kairi it

was like it was like yeah they got that really this is gonna sound too racist i didn't mean it like this but they got that really great round piece brown piece dark one yeah the dark the dark really good one but the other one and then the other ones are just forgettable. Yeah. The other ones are Zildrinas Elgouskas. You got that long, skinny, white pretzel looking thing. I was really trying to figure out where you were going with that. Yes, the rye chips are by far the best thing in that bag. Take those out and Garnettos are. I really like the pretzels though.

Pretzels are good. They're a lottery team at best. No, Garnettos are delicious. That seasoning is incredible. I can, I, I will, I mean,

there's been several times where I'll sit down with a bag of Garnettos and I'll eat three fourths of it. And I'm like, Oh boy, how did that happen? Let's be honest. You, you can't say three fourths. You ate them all.

No, there'll be some times where I like, I can't, I can't live with the fact that I just ate an entire bag. So I'll stop with like a little bit left. That's how I feel about the peanut butter filled pretzel thingies. So I just realized I didn't pick my favorite one. I didn't pick the top of my list.

Oh, I didn't. My top of my list was puppy show. Oh, no, just kidding. It'll come back around. What's yours? You're wrong. You had the first pick. Why didn't you say puppy show?

Because I, I, I froze. I don't know. I didn't say puppy. I didn't think that hard about it um okay uh my next pick is going to be my one of my favorite things in the entire world chocolate chip cookies okay my mom specifically are my favorite okay they are pretty flat and very like they got some crunch to their the chip crunch yeah because it's flat enough where the chips are kind of montañas peeking yeah peeking

out and so hand motion oh i would rather soft soft oh they're still soft but they got a little maybe that crunch isn't the right word but some texture to the chocolate chip rather than like the chocolate chip being completely engulfed by the dough that makes sense okay and then tough crowd my next pick is going to be i'm gonna go with totino's pizza rolls i'm gonna go oh wow uh that's not a snack that is what i eat as a whole meal i have 31 of them at a time well that's why it's not a snack yeah i mean any one of these you could i guess okay that's my point yeah okay yeah i mean just like but what i you could say like oh pizza's just a snack i only eat half a slice it's like well most people don't i'm not doing that okay um chief's party totino's on the on the the docket

you're not like that's weird that's a that. I mean, I would. Maybe people don't eat pizza rolls the way I do. Do people just cook up like six in the oven? No, probably not. But I think for like a party and stuff, you have... I think pizza rolls are mainly consumed in gatherings. Yeah. Not by individuals. Really? No one's that sad that they're eating just by

themselves. I'm just kidding. That's fine. I like them. Oh, I love them. That's why I picked them. I just wouldn't have thought of them as a snack. They're such a meal to me. It'd be like picking ham. I definitely grew up with eating pizza rolls as a meal sometimes too because it's kind of like pizza but in a roll version. My favorite snack

is chicken breast. Anyway, love Totino's pizza rolls. Specifically Totino's. Yeah. Okay. My third pick is popcorn okay i love i've been recently i've gotten more into popcorn than i used to be i think it's just a great i love it for watching shows just chilling at the house popcorn a little garlic salt on there dude oh yeah my mom introduced me to garlic salt recently and then my favorite part of popcorn is are the like barely popped kernels you know i'm talking about i love

i love those kernels yeah the ones because i mean if you get ones that aren't popped those are gonna break your teeth but there's some that are like barely start blossoming yes and those are my favorite i haven't expected enough to know about these yeah there's usually only like three or four of them at the end of every batch they're kind of like they're they're a rare jewel dude come over sometime we got this like cool popcorn maker i won't explain it right now but just know it's a stovetop where you turn it around it's not it's not one of those it's micro it's microwave but it's whatever i'm not i said i wasn't gonna explain it so i'm not gonna did you go twice ben yes chocolate chip. Chocolate chip cookies, tortillas, pizza rolls. Da, da, da, da, da, da.

Chocolate chip cookies, also a meal if you eat enough of them. FYI. Anything's not a meal if you eat less of it. Also true. Okay. Popcorn. Back to me. My first pick on accident, chocolate covered pretzels.

Yeah. Oh, boy. Wrote that down as well. Yeah. Those are the go-to. I get them in my stocking every year. Time will tell. No sugar, boy. Will I still receive them sure probably yeah uh they're awesome go to pre-sugar days uh go to

road trip snack love chocolate covered pretzels uh surprisingly not you don't want to go with like the hershey's and the chocolate brands flips you want to go with dark i think dark chocolate is so much better oh no no milk chocolate's phenomenal But just saying you don't want like... Flips are dark? No? I don't think so. Think, Ben? I think they have multiple. They probably have milk and dark. They've got white and just like regular white, like milk chocolate, regular dark.

Maybe I'm thinking of something else. Oh, yeah. I love the dark chocolate ones. Don't go Reese's. Don't go Hershey's. Go with the brand that only makes chocolate covered pretzels. They know what they're doing. I thought they were owned by like Reese's or something. They're just strictly flips. I don't know.

I mean, I'm just kind of talking on the podcast. I really love the Trader Joe's ones. Trader Joe's got some, anything Trader Joe's covers with chocolate is nice. Milk chocolate, white fudge, dark chocolate. There you go. It's all covered. All right, last pick. My last one's gonna be fruit

sure great snack um really most of them i i have consumed as a snack in my day and have enjoyed it grapefruit grapefruit brulee uh apples a go-to bananas a go-to rachel's got a little fruit plate in the fridge maybe some straws some bloobs love them love them mixed berry plate yeah yeah from fairway i'm done good that's good stuff good answers thank you uh my fourth pick is dots pretzels oh yeah i was thinking dots people are obsessed with those dude they are so i mean i don't that's another thing kind of like the seasoning the chocolate or the peanut butter filled pretzels where it's like yeah the seasoning on those bad boys oh seasoning and texture because they're like little twists and so it hits you with the texture and the seasoning is just incredible they're so good when i first started eating no

sugar i was just looking for anything like salt was my replacement basically yeah and i tried these out i think it was too much seasoning after like 10 of them i feel like my tongue was just caked in that seasoning. And I was like, now anything I eat is not even getting to my taste buds. There's just like a layer of the seasoning. A layer of dots. I needed to like wash my mouth out.

Well, they like exploded. I mean, I feel like a couple of years ago, my mother-in-law brought some home from like North Dakota or something. And she's like, oh, you know, you can only get these, you know, certain places. Now you can find them anywhere.

Every gas station station like everywhere. Is that I always saw them at Ace Hardware. And I was like, yeah, just just, you know, brand recognition. Ace Hardware. It's like, yeah, it's not the best if it's an Ace Hardware. And then my dad got some one time at Christmas time was like, yeah, apparently everyone loves these things. They're incredible. I good.

OK, I I think they're just fine as well. I kind of am on Jake's side on that one. So, um, okay. My last pick is going to be, um, got a lot of ones I would like to put on here,

but I'm going to say just M&Ms. I love M&Ms. Oh really? Yep. The wrapper. Yep. Um, napkins.

I, yeah, they're my favorite candy and therefore my favorite thing to just grab a quick. Not peanut? Traditional M&M's? I mean, I like them all, but if I'm having to choose one, I'm choosing the original. Yes. I really like peanut butter M&M's as well. Peanut butter is great. You know what I was starting to get real down on right before the diet?

Crunchy. Crunchy. Or whatever, crispy. Crispy, I think is what they're called. Yeah. They're all good, dude. Very good. Yeah. M&M's are just the goat. Yeah. They're the home alone of...

Give me a break. Okay, so we got... Brad says, chips and dip, chocolate chip cookies, Totino's pizza rolls, M&M's. Scott says, puppy chow, Gardetto's, popcorn and Dots pretzels. Jake says Tostitos, hint of lime chips, peanut butter filled pretzel thingies, chocolate covered pretzels, and fruit.

Oh, yeah. This is going to be a good one, I think. I think I'm going to come in last. You think? But I was true to myself and that's all that matters. Yes. Tip number 12. No pandering. Yeah. Absolutely. Tip number 12. Choose your own snacks. Solo snacks.

Real quick, honorable mentions for me. I have a decent amount of them. Let's see. Brockets. Brockets are something that's just completely just our friend group, but it's just. What is that? It's just croissants with string cheese and pepperoni in the middle. And you roll it back up and you bake it.

It's awesome. Smoothies.

Have you ever tried making cereal out of Teddy Grahams? I just now had that thought. That could be good. I'd like to try it. I think you can literally just put Teddy Grahams and milk together. That's what I'm saying. Yeah, yeah, yeah. tried making cereal out of Teddy Grahams? I just had that thought. That could be good. I think you can literally just put Teddy Grahams and milk together. That's what I'm

Five stars. I don't know why, but I always thought this would be way more irksome to write a review than it really is.

Anyway, this podcast is pretty sweet. The fact that listening to two best friends, just having a conversation about their week makes work driving and working out more interesting, such less miserable is awesome. Kind of boggles my mind. Brad speaking so joyfully about the life of a father and great husband

encourages me greatly as a teenage boy. Jake is also very encouraging to me by showing you can be funny, cool, and happy, but still a respectable Christian person. Cool. Congrats on getting engaged, Jake. Thank you. I'm so happy for you and look forward to your future stories and observations of the married life.
