Starting point is 00:00:00 Ladies and gentlemen, we've gone viral. We've done it. We've hit the big time. Yeah. So if you don't recognize this anymore, it's because our heads are too big to fit in the door. That's right. Drive-thru only. Yeah. It could fit in a car. But yeah. Big cars. Big time car. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:00:17 Because we can afford it now because we've gone viral. I had to get a bigger door. Yeah. I've always said, we try to post these Instagram clips, but I'm like, I don't know if Ghost Hunters is built to go viral. No one's really known what's going on in these clips. Yeah, it's built to like, hey, you listen, you like it, you tell a friend, they get involved and like,
Starting point is 00:00:35 oh man, this really is great. But we don't talk about pop culture. We don't talk about a lot of things. And quite honestly, maybe we're just not funny enough to just go viral on our humor alone. But Brad's little riff on how to make the wmba more profitable more plucking plucking a bull but yeah how to pluck it pluck it up yeah um has recently hit the algorithm and here's here's the video here's the algorithm bang here's wmba players here's a nine foot rim and one and i think the reason this went viral is because it uh it started a conversation it
Starting point is 00:01:14 wasn't just like hey this is so funny this is like hey these are legitimate you know um you know thoughts uh ideas which by the way poor poor, her name's Kayla or something, she was early on, commented like, I love Ghostrunners, I was a bit disappointed by this, and I replied. We had a very healthy conversation, a back and forth, in person, or not, but in public, like in the comments, when this
Starting point is 00:01:38 clip first went out, great, no problem. Easy. Well, now that it's gone viral, and because I commented on it, now it's one of the top comments. So every third comment is a reply to poor Kayla. It's like, yo, get this bleep and bleep out of my bleep and comments.
Starting point is 00:01:56 I'm like, oh, gosh. I'm sorry, Kayla. I'm sorry. We didn't know what we were doing. It had 4,000 views whenever you commented, I bet. Yeah. So, yeah yeah that's too bad yeah it was funny like yesterday you kept like seeing like different people commenting and it felt like every other one was like this is genius this is the worst thing in the world you know i love this i would i would go to the game next comment this
Starting point is 00:02:22 guy hates women yeah all women, I guess. So it just seems like we need to do more controversial topics. Yeah, we should. Yeah, just having hot takes. Even if we don't care. Even if we don't believe in them. We just need to throw some stuff out there so that on Instagram, people will think that we're ridiculous bigots.
Starting point is 00:02:40 Yeah, we're free thinkers, too. Yeah, exactly. This could be an inside joke with the ghosties. You guys know once an episode, Brad and I are going to say something that's just so ridiculous that also just gives us insurance to say anything and like no that's that's the bit i promise no that was i promised that one was for the bit that was this that was for the bit he doesn't believe that he doesn't believe that theology no no no no i i guarantee you i guarantee he's fine with that that's a pretty funny idea yeah now we just have the freedom like well anything could have been like no it's for instagram well i thought you only won an episode well that's the thing we were doing two to have double the inside jokes this
Starting point is 00:03:12 episode we did two that time yeah so um anyway yeah let's do it this week um we need just a somewhat of a controversial stance like okay rachel's busy taking like her praxis test right now yeah shout out to rachel yeah we can talk about her later but i don't like that she's having to do that in fact i'm going to say no more standardized testing no more standardized testing in the american education realm well the american i mean the whole system is flawed right like we need yes we need to cut the tax the funding in general like what why do we even have honestly who who needs testing who needs the education at all i'm gonna say what a lot of people are scared to say america needs to get rid
Starting point is 00:03:52 of schools i read a fact that eight out of ten kids don't even know what school is yes did you what sorry it's such a I was not okay hold on let me get it back let me get it back for the clip alright alright I was expecting
Starting point is 00:04:17 something that made like a little bit a little bit of sense alright alright let me let me let me just say it one more time I read a fact i was on
Starting point is 00:04:26 reddit the other day i read a fact that eight out of ten kids don't even know what school is like you tell them let's go to school they think they're just hanging out with a bunch of fish oh s-k-o-l not even close no not even close maybe you cheered for a minute soda vikings oh okay or maybe you're taking a dip. Yeah. Yeah. No, no. It's eight out of 10. Get it back. Get it back. Get it back. I just looked at you and your face is like, you have water coming out of your eyes. I just was not expecting that. Eight out of 10. This is what we're talking about. This is what we're talking about. Eight out of 10 kids. I guarantee you, I go to a nine-year-old and say, hey, does eight out of ten kids not believe in school
Starting point is 00:05:06 or not know what school is? And they could look it up on their phones and know yes or no. That's because this is your education from now on. Here's your textbook. Yeah. Here it is right here. Here's your thesaurus. Here's your dicks.
Starting point is 00:05:19 Shannary. Yeah. Everyone knows what that stands for because they have a phone. Here's your water cycle here's your ancient mesopotamia yeah right there algebra here's your ab calculus here's your pythagorean theorem did you say ab calculus yeah yeah yeah you guys you gotta start with the letters y equals a x plus b yeah i think i think school has has fared failed the American people. How many kids feel like they just get judged on like, oh, well, I tested low.
Starting point is 00:05:49 Yeah. Oh, I'm in Title I, kids who can't read good. Yeah. I've been told I can't read as good as the other kids. I've been told I need to be held back. Yeah. You can't read good. You don't do good.
Starting point is 00:06:02 You don't do a well job in school. If you don't go to school, you can't get held back. No, it's a fact. That's right. There's no grip outside of school to hold you back. There is nothing. No. Also, let's address, every child has unique needs, unique goals, and we're just going
Starting point is 00:06:17 to treat all of them the same, send them all to the same schools with the same curriculum, the same algebra. Well, I do think we should treat them all the same. And by saying, I mean, none of them should go to school. Yeah. You could all watch the same channels on TV, though. Better yet. Nickelodeon is educational.
Starting point is 00:06:32 Blue's Clues? YouTube and TikTok. There's your TV. You learn a lot on there. Talk about new channels. Yes. Yeah. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:06:38 I guarantee you, anything you can learn in a school, you can learn on YouTube. Prove me wrong. That's good. Prove me youtube prove me prove me wrong that's good prove me wrong prove me wrong i used to read huck finn and tom sawyer yes those kids didn't know the difference in a one in a in a two but they knew how to build a raft yeah i've watched i've watched people paint fences on youtube though that's what they do in Tom Sawyer. Okay, got it. Got it. Okay, okay. I thought it was maybe a Mr. Miyagi thing briefly.
Starting point is 00:07:08 Paint the fence. But Tom and Huck didn't know a thing. Nope. But they developed critical thinking skills by being outside. Right. Figuring it out themselves. Right. That's what we need here.
Starting point is 00:07:20 Yeah. It's called being outside school. Yeah. And it's actually a thing. Borderline aborigines that's what i want eight out of ten kids don't know school is eight out of kid 10 all right roll the music oh i think this type beat means that it's going down with some random thoughts and white me too
Starting point is 00:07:41 then west best friends eating fast food on repeat so come along let's have some fun and go ahead get on your feet because it's a ghost all right that's fun that's got to be a recurring thing. Cause I think once a week, you're just going to hit me with some stat that I really do not see coming. That's true. I mean, well, I mean, yeah,
Starting point is 00:08:12 it's shocking to a lot of people. They're all true. Yeah. Yeah. 10 kids don't even know what school is. Shout out to a Christian Smith. I think on that Instagram video, he said,
Starting point is 00:08:20 wow, this is crazy. Every WNBA fan commented on this video for like 300 comments so shout out to you christian yeah shout out i was just texting them last night uh the old oregon gas boys the gas boys the now longview texas boys um still still use gas in their cars so that's okay to call yeah yeah still gasoline boys yeah boys. Yeah. But yeah, just trying to, um, I've been listening to their podcast more. I've been encouraging them to like,
Starting point is 00:08:48 Hey, make some videos, make some skits, whatever. And, uh, they said they finally made their first one. Okay.
Starting point is 00:08:54 And, uh, I was like, that's sweet. I said, I don't even want to know what it's about, but give me options. And I want to try and guess.
Starting point is 00:09:01 So this is like a, this is like a jean short style video, not like a, uh, a video of their podcast, like not like a jean short style video, not like a video of their podcast. Like not like a clip like that went viral like ours did yesterday. Yes. This is like a,
Starting point is 00:09:11 or that are one that we just recorded is going to do next week. Exactly. Okay. With the American schools. This is like, um, a separate video. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:09:19 Just comedy videos for Instagram. Fun. Here's your three options. Your friend who just started watching ufc like i i don't think i could do that well but it's already like kind of a funny premise i like that idea for that one and like yeah you're just either wearing like super tight like under armor shirts all the time or i don't know having like a fu manchu or something yeah okay yeah maybe it's something with joe rogan is too. Sure. And you're just like you kind of
Starting point is 00:09:45 want to like roughhouse everyone like you're like, yeah, but you kind of want to like, which is how Gunner Gunner's gotten a lot better. Gunner used to roughhouse me every single time he saw me. I was I was borderline like uncomfortable when Gunner walked into a room. He's gotten better. Yeah, better option to weird things for
Starting point is 00:10:01 guys to say to each other fun. You could I don't know what route they might go with that, but I think it could be fun. Just like, do you look cute today? Dude, yeah. Maybe I shouldn't hear the rest of these options because I'm going to want to do every video that they say. I know.
Starting point is 00:10:13 Yeah. Third option, POV, you show your Amish friend a light switch. They're great, dude. I replied and I was like, I hope every single one of these gets made yeah really phenomenal premises um they're going with no let me guess they're going with the second one yep you're right yeah weird things that got weird things for guys to say to each other the other two are like almost too easy for those guys they're too funny i i love i love those guys because
Starting point is 00:10:41 they're like true uh friends like they're like true friends. They're like best friends. I mean, two of them are brothers, and then Christian's like their best friend. And so that's like the perfect formula for doing something like this is like if you truly enjoy hanging out even without doing this, you will have fun with it and make it more successful. Because if you're just worried about success the whole time, I think it could get really, really old really, really fast. But they're like, no, we're just having fun doing this for ourselves and we think it's funny and therefore it's a blast.
Starting point is 00:11:08 Yeah. If we try to make ghost runners a business right away, we'd have been like, all right, it's been six months. Um, less than a thousand people are listening. We've got no money. Maybe it doesn't even be comedy. Like we need to, we need to pivot. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:11:19 Let's pivot this thing. Like people clearly aren't like wanting this as bad as we thought they did. We need to figure out something else. Yeah. Like Jake, get out something else. Yeah. Like Jake, get married right away. Like, come on,
Starting point is 00:11:27 like this is not working. That's going to help Brad. We need you to crank out a few more kiddos, a few more kids, a few more tables, you know, in that order. No.
Starting point is 00:11:34 Yeah. Like we took that, uh, we did a t-shirt Academy, uh, e-course with TJ, uh, just kind of helping us,
Starting point is 00:11:41 you know, talk through potential e-commerce merch stuff, um, ramping it up hopefully. And yeah, there were, there were certain people in that class that were like literally just starting, like not even like had an idea yet of what they were doing. They were just trying to get inspiration. And I thought to myself, if I, yeah, kind of like what you're saying, if we had to start ghost runners right now, I would be so impatient. If I had the, if I had the vision of like, this is going to be a business someday that we're going to invest money into, it'd be really hard to be like, okay, we haven't made a dollar in the first year. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:12:11 What are we doing? What's the best way to launch our t-shirt brand? Yeah. It's like, well, people don't even like. I didn't even know we had a brand. Yeah. Like we're calling ourselves Ghostbusters. We talked about that for 30 seconds before we called ourselves that.
Starting point is 00:12:24 Are we sure that's a good idea? You know, just overanalyzing everything. How fun would it be to go back and hear that initial conversation that you had? Like, dude, we should start a podcast.
Starting point is 00:12:33 What do you think? Oh yeah. Do you have any like names in mind? Cause that's how I remember it vaguely. I'm asking like, do you have any names in mind? And you're like, I always want to start a band.
Starting point is 00:12:41 Yeah. Go start a second. And I was like, I'm probably not going to start a band, you know, but it sounds like this podcast thing might happen. I was like, I mean, that start a band. Yeah. Ghost Runners out second. And I was like, I'm probably not going to start a band, you know, but it sounds like this podcast thing might happen. Uh-huh. I was like, I mean, that sounds a little like baseball-y, but I'm good with just Ghost Runners. See what happens.
Starting point is 00:12:51 Yeah. Great. I know. Bang. It's over. I can't. Yeah. There's so many times in life. Like I would love to go back and watch the first time I met Catherine. Like, how did I interact with her? How did I like, what was the conversation? Because I remember it in my head, but I'm sure it was completely different, you know, like in real life did i like what was the conversation because i remember it in my head but i'm sure it was completely different you know like in real life or like what was the conversation like the first time i like really like not just met her but like
Starting point is 00:13:13 noticed her and like was like oh my gosh this girl is very attractive to me like that's kind of fun that rachel and i kind of have that yeah the patreon video yeah you know we kind of have our first night totally absolutely we have our first first conversation time that you guys are talking right there yeah so that's pretty fun but yeah i i get excited but i would also be scared if it's like hey we can show you you in 10th grade oh my gosh do i do i want to see that sure because i can't remember much but you can't change it like that's the nice thing like if it's like hey go back to 10th grade and have the same conversation that you know you had before that changed your life it's like oh gosh oh gosh, that is a big responsibility. But if it's like, hey, I'm very content with where my life is right now, I would love to go back and see myself get like an 82 on
Starting point is 00:13:54 this math test that I tried so hard to get a better grade on in AB calculus and Scott just dominated me. But who cares? Yeah, that's a good perspective. Knowing it doesn't change anything and you're still where you are today. I would just love to go back and see like how did i treat my teachers like i just can't remember stuff like that like how many people did i talk to in a given high school day yeah i think a lot but i just want to see it if i talk to you yeah was i as nice to other people as i remember being i don't i don't know i'm so i can't grasp heaven but i hope i hope that's part of heaven is like just oh i don't think we're gonna care about i don't know. I'm so, I can't grasp heaven, but I hope, I hope that's part of heaven is like, just like,
Starting point is 00:14:25 I don't think we're going to care about. I don't think so either, but right now that's, that's why I can't grasp it. That's what I'm trying to say. It's like, it's like, it's like,
Starting point is 00:14:32 it's so hard to fathom that this world is like, so, you know, trivial. Yeah. Yeah. But right now that just seems like one of the most fun things is that we could like look down and like see those things,
Starting point is 00:14:43 you know? Yeah. Like a limited memory bank. Yeah. time yeah back in memories absolutely you're right you're right though it's like once we get there it's like who cares about our teachers in high school most of them aren't even up here with me definitely not the science teachers i'm just kidding i don't know um which do you feel like you had weirder experiences with, science or English? Because those are, I feel like... English, for sure.
Starting point is 00:15:07 See, yeah, Stratford skewed more science. Really? The weirdos. No, yeah. I mean, English teachers were like, oh, time is not here, so it's not... Explain why time is not here, briefly. Time is not here because we're having technical difficulties. The thing that worked well last week is just not working for some reason.
Starting point is 00:15:23 The thing with the same exact cords, but the same exact software and hardware that worked beautifully last week just doesn't work. So we sent time in on Aaron like, well, you don't really need to use those fine fingers ears. So go, go get us. Go do something, buddy. I should do. I should do more stuff. Grab me an Acai bowl. Yeah, grab gratis. Grab 10 kids.
Starting point is 00:15:40 I can't talk. Acai bowl does sound nice, and I got an email by one one get one half off but he's not gonna be where he's going yeah nowhere near one anyway anyway i was gonna say uh english teachers are i was gonna make fun of timing because he's a theater guy but he's not here to defend himself yeah so just pretend like you're timing real quick english teachers are like theater kids whoa whoa whoa well not yet not yet okay one more one more english teachers are like theater kids who decide they want to make a little bit more money hey mister hey wait wait a second
Starting point is 00:16:12 i just saw bugsy malone last week uh middle school play you ever heard of bugsy malone no well i'll tell you it's what i've enjoyed uh texting rachel morning bugsy malone bugsy malone um well we'll table that. Let's keep talking about English teachers and science teachers. Bugsy Malone. Does that have to do with basketball? Like Muggsy Bogues? Bugsy Bogues?
Starting point is 00:16:33 It does not. At least it did not come up in the abridged junior version of the Bugsy Malone play. Maybe the two-hour version. It's different. It's in there. I can think of specifically high school English teachers. My middle school English teachers were awesome. They were normal, really cool.
Starting point is 00:16:48 High school English teachers is when it got a little bit weird. It's like you go to Renaissance Fairs on the weekend. Yeah, yeah, yeah. You have, what is it, the chain meal? I said cornmeal one time. People made fun of me. You have the chain meal just draped on a little show place in the corner of
Starting point is 00:17:06 your classroom uh you get emotional when you talk about jane air like you're you're feeling like you're feeling some type of way about this yeah i honestly and i i'm not trying to like sound too whatever cocky or like whatever but i think that my english teachers disliked me a little bit because i was a little bit of a jock. Like, I think there was something like built, built up, pent up, maybe built up, uh,
Starting point is 00:17:30 like where it was like, Oh, he plays sports. Therefore he's not as nice of a kid as these other kids, or he makes fun of all these. And I was like, I'm a nice guy. I promise.
Starting point is 00:17:38 I'm good student. I have to wear my football Jersey on Thursdays. I'm one of the two out of 10 kids that knows what school is. I like this. I'm going to advocate for school later on in my podcast. Yeah, we had, I guess it was reading, not quite English, but similar. You had a class that was just reading? I'm pretty sure in ninth grade, it was like, I mean, you take seven classes. They can't all just be the four core classes. So yeah, so there's a word and then there's another word and you put them together and
Starting point is 00:18:06 that makes a sentence. You should have learned this about eight years ago or so, but happy you're in here, Jake. I think I did take like a seventh grade reading class or something. In Stratford, there was a ninth grade option and it's adjacent to English and that was a weird teacher. She would always play Nelly Furtado. Yes, dude. It's just like kind of weird and like no one's asking for this like nelly furtado was like you know banging at the time
Starting point is 00:18:30 no she wasn't no i'm saying like um not about her looks or anything sorry i shouldn't know she was not popular though oh yeah i think so 2006 she was popular like the 90s really i think she had that one song kind of with gwen stefani or something at one point in our day. But if she was playing like extensive Nelly Furtado. Oh, yeah. Promiscuous. Yes. Oh, yeah.
Starting point is 00:18:51 Is that? Promiscuous boy. Is that with Gwen? That's with Timbaland. Okay. Yeah. I feel like Nelly Furtado was like my sister's time. She was.
Starting point is 00:19:02 Because what? A man eater. That was like an older one, right? I don't know. I don't know her very well because she wasn't popular when we were around. Anyway, if you, if you listen to it,
Starting point is 00:19:11 you, you know her pretty well. If you Google Nelly Furtado, her top two songs were from 2006, which makes sense. Top three, more, more stuff got downloaded in 2006.
Starting point is 00:19:19 Oh, anyway. Um, so yeah, she, that was really weird. And she like, I don't know if anything ever came out like anything happened but i feel like she was like always talking to like senior guys who like weren't in her class really it was like why yeah why does my friend who's a senior like why does
Starting point is 00:19:38 he know who like this teacher is like he doesn't have her in class like why do they like they had like remember like uh student aides like the teacher's assistants did you guys do those oh i thought you were talking about like a no sorry no you remember like the teachers was like aides helpers uh remember like student chlamydia like like she always had like a senior boy that was like uh you know pretty good looking guy yeah who ironically couldn't read that well but he was was a student named for reading. I like the idea of reading, yeah, was being adjacent to English, and therefore, like, what do you do in English if you're reading and reading? Just writing only. Grammar only, maybe.
Starting point is 00:20:15 Sentence trees. What is a sentence tree? You ever had to do those? I don't remember. Is that the... Maybe in like fourth grade when you were in sophomore year or something. You didn't do that freshman year of college? Sentence tree.
Starting point is 00:20:28 I remember like you would underline words and then like you would draw... Let me just show you. Oh, okay. Like there's certain aspects of, you know, a sentence. Like here's the noun. Here's the, you know, participle. Here's the verb. No, I've never seen that.
Starting point is 00:20:43 That sounds fun. Did you guys do DOL oral language you were being so just you know the aids and the oral and i didn't do any of this stuff oh my gosh get out of here i didn't do dol dol what about deer time drop everything and read yeah oh yeah oh drop it book fairs book fairs were exciting yeah yeah yeah let's just talk about all the good things about school after we trashed it for you didn't have any weird science teachers uh mrs bush was weird don't go there jake all right don't go there i won't yeah no we had some weird ones too uh i remember one this guy also got this was in eighth grade a lot of the girls were like he creeps me out really and i was like i think it's
Starting point is 00:21:25 hilarious but you know looking back it's like yeah that's that's not good probably if the girls feel creeped out one time he like just would do looking back it's like you didn't need to do that and it's weird that this is where so he was like it's biology we have to go over like some reproductive parts it's eighth grades we're not going into super in detail yeah but he's telling us he's like an egg is significantly bigger than like sperm let me show you and then in sharpie he just draws each of them to scale on the wall of his classroom and not on not on the whiteboard with a white wall like on a white wall on the cinder block wall cinder block yeah exactly you nailed it really just draws it in sharpie both of those
Starting point is 00:22:03 parts and it's like see how much bigger yeah like permanent yeah just stayed up there the rest of the school year what yeah and you know at the time so this thing's like that's hilarious you're like dude mr dead the school property he'll do he's crazy that guy you'll never know what he's gonna do next he'll do anything he like becomes unhinged like every other week pretty much like ah and then looking back it's like that's a weird like i don't know just i don't know weird way of like starting this conversation weird way of like you know like yeah i'm the guy who does the reproductive parts on the wall you might have seen my artwork over there if not over there then in the bathroom stall you know that's weird it's
Starting point is 00:22:39 kind of a weird thing to be like this is where i'm quirky when it comes to the reproductive system yeah like hoping to start a conversation you never never know. No, I, I just science class was my least favorite hour of every single day of school. Like growing up, I think it was kind of like one of those things, kind of like for the longest time I was like, I'm just not a handy person. I'm not, I can't do woodworking cause I don't have that mind for the longest time. I convinced myself, like I'm not good at science. And so therefore I think in science class I probably paid attention like 50 as much as every other class because I'm like I'm not going to understand this anyway why try like like and in reality I think if I look back on I'm like okay
Starting point is 00:23:14 I could have applied myself better and would have been just fine in this class and I was just fine I always knew how to get by and like knew how to study for tests and find the right answers and memorize those but it was like I don't really know what i'm doing here you know i i was good at the periodic table and that was about it i liked had that down i liked well i liked all like the protons neutrons electron like i like that kind of idea i really like chemistry because it was adjacent to math yes chemistry was practically just math yeah with a little bit of science with more letters yeah i i liked um oh two way i didn't like is i feel like I learned the scientific method every year.
Starting point is 00:23:47 I mean, from like probably fifth to 12th. And scientific. We went over it. Scientific methods basically like you, it sounds like you know very well, but like it's like a hypothesis and then you test it and then you see the results. Well, observation would be first. Observation. And then hypothesis.
Starting point is 00:24:00 Okay. And then I don't really remember, but that's like deep end of variable, independent variable control group. Okay. Retested, you know, just like this whole nine-step process on how science is formed you always were breaking it down it was always unit one every single year it's like yo i got it that must have been like a big like they missouri must have done a lot of research on like listen our kids don't know the scientific method and it is in everything or it's like on every standardized test at the end of the year like hey they're gonna ask about scientific
Starting point is 00:24:23 method we gotta go over it do you like when you're like thinking about which route should I take? Okay. Dependent variable is my car. My car is going to go this fast. You know, independent variable. What route? Are you thinking that every single time you do anything now? Since you were just hammered into it?
Starting point is 00:24:39 I tell you when I think about it, it's like when we have like technical issues. It's like you have to keep everything the same. And then, okay, now we're going to test the HDMI. That's the independent variable. Okay. HDMI works as doing separate. It's not that. We can roll out the's like you have to keep everything the same and then okay now we're going to test the hdmi that's the independent variable yeah okay hdmi works as doing separate it's not that we can roll out the cord okay let's try the roadcaster that's our new independent variable everything else is the control you know whatever so so is there a chance you wouldn't have thought that way had it not been for 18 years in a row yeah you're right who knows thank you strafford thank you strafford r12 school district um i would if
Starting point is 00:25:04 rachel wasn't taking a very important test, just a few bedrooms over from us, I would go snag her because maybe next week I'll have a list of things. Rachel's dad was a science teacher. Okay. And it sounds like his classroom was so much fun. Really?
Starting point is 00:25:17 And he was just a... Was he drawn on blocks? Just a student's teacher. Yeah. You know, like I just hear these stories randomly and I feel like there's no end to all these things he's done for his like students and it sounds so fun. So I need to like gather a list, but like he'll just do
Starting point is 00:25:30 things like, yeah, just every now and then I'll just bring like a griddle to class and I'll make breakfast for them all. Dude, I think there's more that is more of a fine line than anything else is being a student's teacher because you can go one side or the other very easily as far as like I'm trying to make them like me so much that I have no control over my kids or like the
Starting point is 00:25:49 opposite. Like I'm so strict that nobody likes me. Yeah. And so like you have to find that perfect balance. And I think it's near impossible to do well, like, like, because hopefully like he's still teaching him stuff within all this. Because, yeah, I've seen I've seen kids that are like i went and helped out with uh or like spoke at isaac school one time for the wood shop and yeah people brought like uh hot
Starting point is 00:26:11 plates there and like we're making breakfast and stuff but i was like i don't think they really respect this teacher very much i think they're just really casual yeah class but at the same time like yeah the teacher's like guys let's hey let's do something great here and if we all get x amount on our tests we can have you know pancakes on friday yeah it'd be like oh man mr coop he's the man yeah you know yeah so fun i need to get a list from rachel and her dad and just like hey what are all the different things he's done in his classroom because it just sounds fun oh yeah i i respect the heck out of teachers so shout out to steve and angie and all the educators out there sure got a lot in my family as well but that two out of 10 makes up a lot of people.
Starting point is 00:26:47 Those who know about school. Boy, oh boy, does it? Yeah. Anyway, we record about 20 minutes and haven't really talked about anything about our weeks. So you want to talk about those? I don't know. No. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:26:58 It's been a great week, man. I feel like it's going to be a broken record. I need to probably start doing stuff outside of you and my family. So I have other things to talk about. Even on days when we said, hey, we're not going to see each broken record i need to probably start doing stuff outside of you and my family so i have other things to talk about even on days when we said hey we're not going to see each other we still saw each other friday night we didn't we worked separately but then saw each other game night yeah saturday uh vinnie beck's birthday party oh yeah sunday dinner at your house yeah i didn't connect that we did it all yeah three days in a row of hanging out yeah uh yeah friday uh you know i was like i'm so glad I don't have to see Jake all day.
Starting point is 00:27:28 And Catherine's like, actually, we're going to game night with Jake. I didn't say the first part, actually. Awesome. That's really cool. That makes me feel great. Had a great Settlers battle. That was a great battle. Oh, we got to talk about that.
Starting point is 00:27:40 Okay. Yeah. Yeah. So we had, it was six of us five of us played the hoaglands were also there yeah.com and bailey bowling um she didn't want to play well it was kind of my fault i didn't bring all the colors for the expansion pack i was like bailey i'll go get back and get him she's like i don't really want to play no problem bailey so we're playing we don't have to get too far into it because not everyone understands Settlers, but essentially, Catherine was dominating.
Starting point is 00:28:06 True? Yeah. She's out six, seven points. I'm at two, three. Yeah, I think we were at three or four versus her seven or eight. Ten is how you win. She's already almost there. Ten is how you win, and I always say it's hard to close.
Starting point is 00:28:17 That's my big thing. Anybody can get eight points. It's hard to get ten. But Catherine's looking like she's going to win easily. So without getting too far into the weeds, basically what, what happened was I blocked her with something. I put a settlement so that she could no longer build any more of her road, which was what was getting her two of her seven or eight points. Um, and I was pretty excited about it. I was, I was pretty excited and she was, she was a little bit upset with me, but like played it off well and everything.
Starting point is 00:28:43 Um, anyway, elongated the game. There were multiple times where I was like, oh, I think Rachel's going to win. Then it was like, oh, Jake was going to win. Look out! Yeah. Then finally, it ended up that I won the game. I think it was like Jake had eight or nine.
Starting point is 00:28:58 Catherine had eight or nine. Rachel had eight, I think. Luke had a good time. We go home. I don't know how much Catherine wants me to tell about this, but it's fine. But, uh, you know, we're just having a nice leisurely walk. Like that was a fun time.
Starting point is 00:29:11 That was a good time. And then we get home and she's like, I did feel like you were kind of ruthless with me on that, uh, cutting me off in the longest road though. And I was like, Oh, she's like, I don't think you would have done that to Rachel. And I was like, I think, I think I would have. She's like, I think you do. You treat me differently, uh, than other people in that game and basically we ended up like it ended up
Starting point is 00:29:30 being kind of like this innocent like oh come on you know it's fine to like we get like it was like a classic like first year of marriage argument where it was like this is silly and then all of a sudden it was like why are we still arguing about this and like an hour later we're like Catherine's like well I mean are you gonna teach our kids to play that way and like I was like why are we still arguing about this and like an hour later we're like katherine's like well i mean are you going to teach our kids to play that way and like i was like oh my gosh what is happening here uh you got longest road and and i i was kind of having it like i i realized at the end of the argument conversation whatever that i was kind of enjoying this like back and forth like you make a point katherine i make a counterpoint and then i realized she did not she was not enjoying it like i thought it was like this is a friendly competition of like, who's going to be right.
Starting point is 00:30:07 And who's going to be wrong. Let me, let me bring up this, like, you know, like paralleled example to like, I was like, cause cause she claimed like you can have fun in settlers without, you know, making me not have fun anymore by cutting me off. And I said, Catherine, that's half the game. Like that's like, that's good. That's defense. It's like if the chief score a hundred points a game, but they don't play defense and the other team scores 110, they don't win. Like that's, that's part of, that's part of it. She's like, sports are different than board game and all these different things. And then I gave the example of, sounds like a great debate.
Starting point is 00:30:36 It was, it was awesome. And it was like, it was like late at night. It was like midnight. And I was like, why are we doing this? As soon as you wake up, you're like, man, that was dumb. Oh yeah. Before we even went to bed, we like resolved it and everything, but it was like multiple times I had to be like, I'm sorry.
Starting point is 00:30:48 And then we'd be like, I'm sorry. I know I should be better. And then, you know, it's like, it's okay. It's just, this isn't this. And then it's like, okay, we're back into it. Cause I don't disagree. I don't agree with that. So it was like, so my example was like, Hey, what about an Uno?
Starting point is 00:31:02 Let's say, let's say the person has one card left, and you could either play the same card. A wild that you know is not in their hand? Yes. My example was you either, the color in the middle is blue. You have a blue card, or you have a wild draw four card. Yeah. Which one would you play? Oh, gosh.
Starting point is 00:31:19 And she knew. She knew the right answer, right? The right answer is wild draw four. They're about to win. But she thought about it. She about she goes honestly i think i'd play the blue no i was like no you wouldn't no you wouldn't like no that's that's when it was like started becoming fun because i was like eight out of ten you're being ridiculous don't know how to play uno eight out of ten i was like you're telling me she's like because you don't know what color they have and i was like yeah but you know there's a guarantee that the game goes on.
Starting point is 00:31:45 I was like, it's the same thing with Settlers. I didn't know you were going to win if you had eight points. But I can do something. But it sure looked like you were closer than me. And yeah, anyway, we went back and forth. We've had arguments like that plenty of times in marriage, but it's usually like the first year of marriage where we're like, which light switch should we turn on or off for this thing?
Starting point is 00:32:04 Because there's two in a room or something. now it's like i don't care do whatever you want the light switches but for whatever reason i don't think either of us wanted to back down this time so we were just we were just talking back and forth about it and settlers it was silly yeah it was just a silly thing and at one point i was like should i just not play settlers with you anymore like or like am i or maybe do i need to go bailey mode i was like am i am i like i was like do you want like i was like i think it's more fun to go bailey mode i was like am i am i like i was like do you want like i was like i think it's more fun if you're being competitive she's like you can be competitive without being a jerk and i was like i don't think i was being a jerk i think everyone had fun
Starting point is 00:32:33 anyway so it was back and forth so that is fun we had fun though didn't we we had fun and we had we played more games this week we talk about those later. I was not ruthless in that game. I got zero points in that game. I got zero points. She's like, you can be competitive without being a jerk. And I was like, I don't think I was being a jerk. I was like, I won. I didn't gloat about it or anything.
Starting point is 00:32:57 And I lost the other day and I was not gloating about that. It was fun. Whatever the right word is. Wallowing about that. Wallowing. Anyway. let's talk about board games a little later right now we have kind of two two announcements at the same time
Starting point is 00:33:11 well first i'll say we have a new segment yes you're gonna be hearing about this segment a little more okay the second announcement that coincides with it is that this segment the coen is brought to you yeah Chike Chike. Oh, Chike Chike Chike! This doesn't come as a surprise to anyone. The Chike is back. You guys love them. We tell people, even when we're trying to secure new sponsors,
Starting point is 00:33:36 we talk about the Chike campaign last time. The Chike revolution. We had people in our audience asking for Chike merchandise, which I think has got to be a first in podcast history making making like amateur chike videos commercials you know um anyway so they're sponsoring a new segment called something i chide this week wait a second i thought it was chike so and it yes i could see the confusion but chike uh coffee protein powder is coming out with a new flavor really chai chai c-h-a-i a-i that it's hot these days artificial intelligence yeah yeah and chai gpt chai gpt
Starting point is 00:34:14 yeah chai chai chai chai gpt in honor of the new chai flavor which is amazing you guys got to check it out we'll tell you more about it um brian I just got to tell you some things that we've chai'd out this week. Some new things. I've been chai-ing out a lot of things. Bo's been riding around on his chai-sickle. Really? Yeah, out in the chive way. Oh, wow.
Starting point is 00:34:36 I didn't plan either of those. You like that? You like that? Yeah. Chai! Yeah, so I've tried a few different things this week. First thing I chai'd is swimming in goggles. Imagine that for a second. uh yeah so i've tried a few different things this week uh first thing i tried is swimming in goggles imagine that for a second imagine it you did that they're tinted yeah oh
Starting point is 00:34:53 good tinted goggles for for outdoor use i guess i don't know why they're tinted but uh yeah must be there i've been swimming indoors with them uh but game changer goggles are great swimming in the you know if you're swimming in a line now 100 and honestly i'd been opening my chives anyway to like see but then my chives would burn because too much chlorine chizenberg chizenburn chives would burn so that's my first idea okay yeah i have uh i have one thing i tried that i'm uh proud of okay and one thing that I tried that I'm not proud of. Great.
Starting point is 00:35:27 Which one would you like first? I'm not... Yeah, I want the proud of one first. Life hack, if you're going to be out... Chife hack. Chife hack. Golfing, let's say. Okay.
Starting point is 00:35:38 And the weather is decent, and it's sunny, but it's going to be very windy. Yes. I have found that if you golf in a ski mask, all your problems go away and no one wants to talk to you. You are not approachable, which makes it so much more of just a solitary time on the golf course. I definitely took it off. Anytime I had to go to the pro shop or like a Marshall is driving up to me, I was like, I'm gonna take the ski mask off. And from what I understand, like a ski. So I think a few different things. I think a ski mask, one of them is like God, like the goggles, not ski goggles.
Starting point is 00:36:07 You're talking about like a put it over everything, but have a slit where your eyes are small little slit. Like, is that right? Get out, put the money in the bag. Yeah. Everybody on the ground. Nobody call the cops. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:36:17 You hit like a bad shot into another thing. Instead of saying four, you're like everybody on the ground. What is still helpful. You need to be on the ground yeah put the put the balls in the bag so yeah that's what it's like i just look like a criminal out there but there'll be times i was like okay i think it's warming up a little bit i think i take this off i take it off boom that neck is cold i was like this ski mask is doing a lot for me right now yeah just protect this area and even just the head i think a lot of heat escapes that way so as long as it stays windy i'm gonna be ski masking okay you
Starting point is 00:36:48 think uh ski mask over just neck gaiter i've never really had a neck gaiter a gaiter to me seems like a thinner like more like spandexy material doesn't seem as warm this is like a fleece like okay this is insulating they make they make i use the gaiter forator for South Dakota and it was not. Oh, okay. Gotcha. But yeah. Anyway, I think when I think Gator, I think of like those people mainly from like Louisiana and Texas who were like, we're told they had to wear a mask during COVID. Oh yeah. Like, well, I'm going to wear this Gator. That's fine.
Starting point is 00:37:13 I'll get one from Cabela's then. Yeah. It's like those people that I saw in like an airplane during 2020. Yeah. That is the Gator I'm imagining. And then Gators eventually were like outlawed. Like you couldn't use those as masks anymore. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:37:23 Because those were ineffective. And then the CDC was like like actually it all was our bad on that yes whoopsie daisy okay what's your uh do you want me to go again oh sure yeah you can go uh next thing i tried was i tried to be an adult this week i tried to be a responsible adult somebody that uh you got your wallet back i did not get my wallet back, but guess what, Jake, I can legally chive now because I have a chivers license. Yours are very on theme. I renewed my chivers license. Uh, I went to the, you know, chivers license bureau and it's classic. Like I got there and there was like a security guard at the front and he goes, what time is your appointment? And it was like, clearly like, I understand that you're trying to make me feel bad for not having an
Starting point is 00:38:08 appointment, but I'm fine with it. I was like, I don't have an appointment. Yeah. And he goes, what are you here for? I was like,
Starting point is 00:38:15 ah, I lost my driver's license. And they're like, okay, go to that booth over there and talk to that lady about it. Um, and so I told her, you know,
Starting point is 00:38:23 I had all my, all my right things, social security number, like a birth certificate, like had like the legit things that i needed for this thing and was in and out of there 45 for 45 minutes like yeah real quick uh and i did tell i think i told you this the other night um the other chite but i was talking to the lady you know because they call you up eventually and like you know number r 155 yeah at booth 12 and then you go to booth 12 talking to this woman and the lady next to her the worker in the booth next to her like leaned over this woman and kind of made eye contact with me as she was talking to this woman she goes i finally got finished with that person and it was
Starting point is 00:39:04 like she got like starstruck of something she's looking at you and then and then she kept talking this lady and then like two minutes later she finally looked back at me she's like you look so familiar how do i know you and i i went for i was like i make videos on the internet yeah she's like i follow you everywhere she's like you're that wmbBA influence. Yeah. Oh gosh. Is your chair about to break or what's going on? The thing was not, there we go.
Starting point is 00:39:30 I don't know. There you go. Um, and yeah, it was fun. It was fun to talk to her. And she's like, you're the ones that she, the one video that she like pointed out,
Starting point is 00:39:38 I'm sure you can never guess. She's like, you're the one that do, uh, you compare veteran parents versus like new parents. Right. And I was like, Oh yeah, I think we've done that. I think like veterans. Yeah. When she said veterans, I was like, Oh're the one that do, you compare veteran parents versus like new parents, right? And I was like, oh, yeah, I think we've done that.
Starting point is 00:39:46 I was thinking like veterans. Yeah. When she said veterans, I was like, oh, I don't know. We haven't really done much with that motif yet. We haven't done like a Stolen Valor video yet. We're thinking about it. It's in the hopper. We wanted to do it.
Starting point is 00:39:58 Yeah. So anyway, it was fun to get recognized. That is very fun. Yeah. Congratulations. Yeah. Congratulations. Yeah. Dang it. Something else I tried this week that I am not proud of is, it's about three nights ago.
Starting point is 00:40:14 Three nights ago. I'm sitting, I'm pooping. Oh, okay. And I am like, I need something. I want to find a game on my phone. Oh. I don't really play games on my phone yeah i go to click this like i'm like four pages deep on my phone like towards the back you know like oh i haven't been back you're on the apps you're not you're not downloading a new
Starting point is 00:40:33 game you're just no just seeing what we got yeah it's been like uh offloaded everything you got yeah yeah yeah and i was like oh crossword okay i'll do a little crossword didn't even i don't remember even downloading a crossword app at any point let's do a cross crossword right now. You downloaded it at one point when you're like, I'm not going to have Wi-Fi on the airplane. 100%. Been there. But then, crossword's taken a while to download. And I see
Starting point is 00:40:56 a little below it is a game that I have not played in probably at least five or six years, which is crazy to think that it's been on my phone this whole time. Yeah, it is crazy. And it's called Clash Royale. And I downloaded it and I am not proud of the amount I've played. Really? You're addicted.
Starting point is 00:41:13 Yeah. And I, I, with Rachel, I kind of had two options. It's like, I can either choose to be embarrassed by this and hide it from her, or I can just become this character who like thinks everyone needs to be
Starting point is 00:41:23 playing this. And I'm like, you think spear goblins are just like an archer? You just lean into it. Yeah, yeah. Okay, can you explain it really quick to me? I don't really understand Clash Royale. I think their first game was Clash of Clans
Starting point is 00:41:36 that went really well. It's not the same thing? And this is just, yeah, it's a different game. Okay. Basically, I think it's a company called Supercell. They've mastered just well-balanced games so you can play against anyone online at any time. Oh, you're playing live against somebody.
Starting point is 00:41:52 Yeah, you always play against real people. Okay. Which is so fun. Just like a big strategy game. Okay. Where just, I mean, it's probably no different than probably what like Pokemon cards are. It's like, you know, you've got made up creatures
Starting point is 00:42:04 with abilities and damage and spells and dumb stuff and it's balanced you know you've got okay made up creatures with abilities and damage and spells and dumb stuff and it's balanced and you try to figure out the best way to like gotcha there's like yeah there's pros and cons to each thing yeah okay it's like yeah a lot of damage but it costs eight elixir brad oh gosh do you even have eight elixir is that gonna be worth it yeah or should i just you know yeah you don't you don't want to deplete your elixirs too quickly i can just do like a i don't know it's like a bomb tower instead what about spear goblin um what about what about purple nurples those are not as effective as you think i'm trying to remember don't last that long what do they call them funky monkeys funky monkeys uh were a part of it and then there was
Starting point is 00:42:45 a software update and now it's spunky monkeys oh they like latch on you they grab anyone in their in their range and they pull them into you and then they like beat them up what about uh choco tacos choco tacos um that gives you health yeah they're like flying creatures that if you're in the in the radius then they give health to everyone around them okay what about throttle bottles throttle bottles is like uh bottles is like a tank type unit that goes very slowly but all the other creatures are attracted to them. Oh, okay.
Starting point is 00:43:12 What about what is it called? Fast grass? Fast grass is... Is it like turbo mode? No, that's like an achievement you can get to. Once you get to 4,500 trophies then you get to play on the fast grass arena. What about protein ice coffee oh so that's found at chike.com c-h-i-k-e dot com and um that's a part of the game where this is kind of fun uh talking back on the phone

Okay. They're not necessarily things I tried, but they're just more things that I am enjoying. Currently trending?
Starting point is 00:46:40 Currently trending, I guess you could call them. The first one is something that Rachel just, I was so excited that she was excited for me. And then I realized she was making fun of me. We have a Ecobee thermostat and it has a speaker built into it that you can connect your Spotify to. It's a nice, like, you know, often, we're not like crazy techie in our house. We don't, we don't do like the Bluetooth stuff very often or have an Alexa or anything or anything like that um you know because we don't want big brother you know but uh we do ecobee and uh you know if you don't want to play music from your phone you can just play it from
Starting point is 00:47:16 the thermostat and i was you guys were doing logic puzzles the other night which is yeah fun little race yeah you rachel and katherine i was like I don't want to do this. Uh, and so you guys were like, can I get some music? Uh, but you know, instrumental only. And so I played some music, but it was coming out of my phone. I was like, it's not the same as the old eco bee. So I put on the eco bee thinking that like, you know, no one would think anything of it, like whatever. And Rachel is like, is that coming out of the thermostat? Is that coming? You have a speaker right there. And the thermostat's like in the hallway. It's not like in an ideal location for a speaker or anything.
Starting point is 00:47:48 And I was so pumped that we were resonating together on this. Because I'm like, yes, it's like the perfect little blend of just over there in the corner. And she's like, that is sick. And that's when I knew. That's sick, Brad. That's when I knew. I was like, oh, you're poking fun at me in my Ecobee. Brad, correct me if I'm wrong, but you're playing lo-fi beats out of your Ecobee thermostat?
Starting point is 00:48:12 Ecobeats? Yeah. That's insanely sick. That is wildly sick, dude. Dude, no cap. That is fire, dude. I was like, oh, when she said sick, it was over. I was like, okay, you don't mean it.
Starting point is 00:48:23 You don't mean it at all. Oh, that's so sick. And it is cool. Okay, Rachel? Oh, that's said sick, it was over. I was like, okay, you don't mean it. You don't mean it at all. Oh, that's so sick. It is cool. Okay, Rachel. Oh, that's so, so sick. So that's my first currently trending. And then the other one that I wrote down is I may have, I mean, I go through kicks just like Catherine does. And my current kick is I may have a new favorite restaurant and it is a great franchise called Culver's. Oh, last time I yacked is when I had Culver's. Oh, so don't let it get to you. Yeah. I I've been going there. I went there multiple times
Starting point is 00:48:48 this past week to work on my computer. It's clean. It's friendly service. There's plenty of seats. There's like booths that are kind of like secluded by themselves. And so I didn't like one time I just got a drink. The other time I didn't get any food at all. I just went there and sat at Culver's and it was wonderful. Really? Yeah. Let me ask you a few questions. How did you want? Sorry. They also have, uh,
Starting point is 00:49:08 screens. And so I was like March madness. This would be a great place. They have like big screens and they're always showing sports. I'm like, it's, it's every, it's like,
Starting point is 00:49:15 it's like a Chick-fil-A, but a little more like a living room version of a Chick-fil-A. That's a little home here. Yeah. But equally good service, equally good service. At least the ones in Kansas City. I don't know if equally good service, at least the ones in Kansas City. I don't know if that's everywhere, but like the ones here, it feels like it is right up there on
Starting point is 00:49:29 par with Chick-fil-A as far as like consistent, just quality of service. Let me ask you this. What is the temperature like in there normally? It's good. I have never thought twice about it, which means it must be good. Yeah. What is the wifi like in there? Uh, like a normal restaurant wifi, not crazy good, not crazy bad, which is fine for me and my Google docking. I'm not editing and downloading and uploading things. What is the outlet situation like? Pretty strong, especially in a few of the booths.
Starting point is 00:49:56 I mean, you find certain booths that are better than others, but one booth that I have, it's secluded. There's only three booths in this little row. It's kind of in a smaller room, and there's one specifically right there with theluded. There's only three booths in this little row. It's kind of in like a smaller room, and there's one specifically right there with the outlet, and it is... It's the honey hole. It's the honey hole. And then there's also another one that has an outlet that's on the window, so if you want
Starting point is 00:50:14 to get a little more natural light, you want to get a little more people watching, you're good over there, too. It's good to have spots. Yeah. I think that's all my questions. The seats have cushions. This is like a normal booth. Yes. Yeah, that's good. Yeah, it's great. It's great. I think it's all my questions the seats have cushions this is like an like a oh like a normal booth yes yeah that's good yeah it's great it's great i think so it's all the questions i have yeah it's a wonderful place so i i don't know if i'll like it in two weeks but i like it right now currently trending yeah and it's like no one's there at two o'clock in the afternoon and so that's always nice
Starting point is 00:50:38 yeah that's half the battle is i get distracted or i half bat. Yeah. Half the bat. So, uh, on that same note, currently trending for me is just peanut butter filled pretzels. I lived 30 years of my life without having one of these without really knowing that they existed. And now during my life, I don't know if I need any other snack. Really? I don't know if I need any other meal. That's just self-sustaining. Like, I think you can have just like a few of them and it you know it's like 10 grams of protein really like it's like it's a good amount of protein got a little salt and like a little bit of sugar in there too and the peanut butter like it's just like it could be a you can look at it as a savory treat if i need something salty if you're like i need something
Starting point is 00:51:19 sweet it has that too it's all in the reframing it's how you look at it it's like yeah it's like the perfect athlete you know three tool what is it how many tools five tools five five tool athlete and it's also just like it's filling because of all the protein okay so i was asking rachel i was like be honest do i need anything else like the food pyramid seems like it is just changing for me into a just peanut butter pretzel filled it's like a that's like a pillow pillow shaped yeah pillow of peanut butter and she was like yeah i mean it does have some stuff in there i was she's like you're gonna be a little irregular if this is all you do you're like mama i've been irregular for 30 years you're talking to mr irregular you've heard of mr irrelevant brock birdie wedding invitee
Starting point is 00:52:02 you're looking at mr irregular there And so I said, okay, one food. What else do I need? She said blueberries. And so last night for dinner, I had peanut butter filled pretzels and blueberries to test it out. Let's see how we're doing. And about an hour later, I was so hungry.
Starting point is 00:52:19 So not a full meal replacement. Kind of fun. When you said that you could have a few and be full, I was like, that's my experience with peanut butter filled pretzels. That's fun. When you said that you could have a few of them be full, I was like, that's my experience with peanut butter filled pretzels. That's the flaw is that when you eat five of them, you're going to eat 50 more. Oh, yeah. I think it takes more than three to be full.
Starting point is 00:52:33 Yeah. Like you just get addicted to them is what I'm saying, though. Yeah, yeah. Yeah, you eat a lot. Yeah. And then you're kind of full. Either way, I'm just all in on these pretzels, dude. I want them in this house at all times.
Starting point is 00:52:44 Yeah, that's a fun goal. Yeah. Maybe every room even. Yeah. That's my goal for our house with Kleenexes. I want a Kleenex box in every room and Catherine does not agree with me. And so we don't.
Starting point is 00:52:55 And I don't care that much. So I don't really fight it. I'd like to have a weapon in every room just in case there's a burger. You get cornered. Very good. Maybe just a set of golf clubs in each room. There's your weapon.
Starting point is 00:53:06 Also, never bad to take a few hacks. Let's go ahead and reverse that, though. Kleenex attached to a golf club. Is that what you're going to say? Yeah, you nailed it. I was going to say there's also a potential weapon for a burglar in every room. So you lock the burglar in this room. All of a sudden, he's hacking away at a four-iron at your four iron door yeah if there was an instance where a burglar was in my house and i wanted him to be locked into
Starting point is 00:53:30 a room and also he knew where i hid the golf clubs then yes that would be detrimental no but you're saying you would have the golf clubs in every room yeah but oh but they've hidden yeah hidden and also in your scenario i i locked him in a room with me. No, no, no. You locked him in this room. Yeah, that's right. Why would I ever lock a burglar in a room with me? Because you're smoking him in. You're like, whoa, whoa, whoa, this guy, we got to get this.
Starting point is 00:53:54 And so you lure him into a room with the peanut butter pretzels. Actually, yeah, I like this. Let's say this is after May 27th. Rachel also lives here. It's like, hey, don't worry about her. Sure. You fight me. You're going to go into the spare bedroom and, hey. I'm a man. this is Rachel also lives here it's like hey don't worry about her sure you fight me we're
Starting point is 00:54:05 gonna go into the spare bedroom and hey I'm a man one person comes out of this cage match style okay yeah now I see it no I that was not what I was expecting but I like that more I think that's how I could justify fighting a burglar one-on-one in a locked room my my business is that the burglar's locked in the room and you're the rest of the house yeah the burglar's locked in the room and you're the rest of the house yeah the burger was locked in the room yeah he locked me in the room no so why he's in the room by himself oh my gosh oh i didn't catch and you're calling 9-1-1 or whatever but then you're like wait a second he might get out because he's going to find this weapon in the room because there's a weapon in every room so what you do is you have one room now i figured out that's devoted to peanut butter pretzels
Starting point is 00:54:46 only. And that's where the burglar's going first. Not only because he's hungry, but because why wouldn't you want to steal that room's contents first? And then, boom, he's locked inside the room by himself. Got it. You cannot fight with peanut butter pretzels. I've tried. They're not
Starting point is 00:55:02 fast enough. They're not dense enough. All of a sudden, you've got a weapon in every room. Take your pick. Go grab one. Hey, Jake, I think it's time to get serious real quick about our next sponsor. Please, let's do.

Starting point is 00:57:56 I took Bo and Hattie Out to lunch at Chipotle I was like, Hattie or Catherine What if I just take them out Give you a little bit of time, blah blah blah They love going to restaurants And so I'm driving, and Catherine, what if I just take them out Give you a little bit of time Blah blah blah, they love going to restaurants And so I'm driving, and they love For whatever reason, they love driving in my truck
Starting point is 00:58:11 You know, we have a Just super nice van, and they always want to drive In the cruddy old rusty truck And I'm like, great, whatever And so I put them in their car seats, we're driving Everything's going great We even like, we drove to the Chipotle Like kind of farther away over by target okay because the other because i was like it's going to be less people
Starting point is 00:58:29 it'll be nice you know whatever so i even do like a u-turn everything's going great you know driving wise and then you know we're on china mission parkway and you turn and it's like kind of a sharp like c-shaped turn can you imagine what i'm talking about like yeah off of and you know i'm just having a casual conversation with Hattie as I'm doing this turn going, you know, 40 miles an hour around this kind of sharp thing, getting on the off ramp. And I'm like, Hattie, what'd you learn about in Sunday school today? And
Starting point is 00:58:53 all of a sudden I just hear Bo go, whoa! And I look back and Bo, his whole car seat had just tipped over. So like, I had strapped him into the car seat itself, but I had not strapped the car seat into just tipped over so like so like i had strapped him into the car seat itself but i had not strapped the car seat into the seat belt oh that makes sense yeah and so so bow is like like like in the perfect way just like absolutely like stuck like because he's like he's
Starting point is 00:59:18 like very securely in the car seat but the car seat is just turned over on its side and he's just like whoa whoa that's all he's saying. Like, if it were Hattie, Hattie would be screaming, crying at this whole thing. So I'm just, like, trying to do, like, this sharp turn at the same time reaching back in my truck and, like, pulling him back up. And he goes, that was scary, Dad. That was a little bit scary. And if that were Hattie, she'd be, like, traumatized for, like, five days, you know. And, yeah, Bo just goes, Whoa.
Starting point is 00:59:46 And just, if you could imagine like, yeah, that's really fun to imagine. I mean, it's kind of like when I fell out of my chair the other day, but like if you fall out of your chair, but you're strapped into the chair, you know what I mean? Like how turtle upside down you're, yeah, you're, you're, you're, you're just helpless there. You're like, what am I supposed to do with this? So, uh, anyway, Bo's just so fun. He's so many different
Starting point is 01:00:05 things about it like right after that happened we've like parked at chipotle he got out and he like tripped on the sidewalk and he just goes oh like how do you would once again like be crying and screaming and having such a hard time he just goes oh and he stood up and just kept walking he's starting to get frustrated by his like uh, you know, clutziness. Yeah, he's just so funny. And then today, Catherine found a mouse in our, like, stuck, like, in a mouse trap in our sink, underneath our sink. And we had already put, we had seen, like, there were some signs of potential mouses, mices, mooses, maces, moses. We've seen some potential moses, all-you-can-draces moses moses we've seen we've seen some potential moses um all you can drink moses and so i put a few traps in the pantry as well and katherine's like i'm too scared to look in
Starting point is 01:00:53 the pantry and so guess who she asked she asked beau i'm like katherine you you're in your 30s and you're asking your two-year-old son to be more brave than wow that's very funny and of course yeah because i wasn't home and of course beau just goes in there. Bo doesn't have much of a volume discrepancy. I feel like he's either like, he's always loud. He's either like 6 to 10. He's always like, and so he goes in there and he's like, there's no mice in there, mom.
Starting point is 01:01:16 No mice. And then we get home and I get home to dispose of the mouse before I come over here and he's just like, dad, there's a mouse under the sink. It's still moving. It's still moving a little bit. Like, okay, buddy. It's good for Catherine delegating.
Starting point is 01:01:30 That's funny. I kind of got on tour. I was like, because she was so scared, like showing how scared she was to the kids. I was like, you're going to freak these kids out about a mouse. Like, I know it's scary, but just be cool about it. And I'll come help you with it soon. Be cool. Be cool.
Starting point is 01:01:42 Especially because Bo has no fear towards mice right now. Yeah. And it's like, that would be a great asset to have, because I'm still scared of them too. Don't build it into them. Like, this mouse was in the, like, you know, sticky trap, but it's moving a lot. Like, everything but his feet are still plenty, plenty mobile. And so I'm like, if this thing can, like, free up a few feet, he can get some motivation
Starting point is 01:02:02 to get out of there. And he's got to be angry. Of course. At you. He is is frustrated he is startled yeah and so i'm picking this thing up and i'm nervous but i'm just trying to act like i'm not and i'm like imagine in two years if bo's not nervous and he can just do he can be the mouse guy yeah so i'm like please stop being so scared yeah yeah bo's our exterminator uh that's fun. That's a fun story. I love Bo. It is so funny. Oh, who is it? Timon!
Starting point is 01:02:29 Timon's in here with the... Got some new cords. Justin Timon. Get them both in there. He's our Justin guy and his name's Timon. Timon's back. You feel like you got some good ones? I think so. He thinks so. Okay, good.
Starting point is 01:02:43 I did make a joke at your expense earlier, and you weren't here to defend yourself. Oh, that's too bad. Ooh, first voice we've ever heard of. Oh, voice reveal. Yeah, yeah. Tymon, let's introduce ourselves real quick. Yeah, yeah. Tell us about yourself.
Starting point is 01:02:58 Who do you think you are? My whole identity is that I'm homeschooled. That's all he is. So far on the podcast. Yes. No, yeah. I'm homeschooled. That's all he needs to know. So far in the podcast. I'm 16. Do you feel 16? Do you feel 15? Do you feel 18? It varies.
Starting point is 01:03:15 It's a Wednesday. How did you feel just now having two adults go tell you, hey, go run and grab a cord for us. Going to Micro Center on a Wednesday at 11 a.m. And then you get back and these two adults are dressed up in these blow-up costumes.
Starting point is 01:03:32 Yeah, what age does that make you feel? I left two adults and I walked back in on two animals. No, I feel 17. Maybe a year or two older. Good. I think that's accurate. How was Micro Center? Get the cords we need? Yeah, some great customer service. I feel 17. Maybe a year or two older. Good. Yeah. I think that's accurate. How was Micro Center?
Starting point is 01:03:48 Get the cords we need? Yeah. Some great customer service. Fun place. Did they get you with the referral thing or whatever? Oh, yeah. The sticker on it? Yeah. He tried to be subtle with it.
Starting point is 01:03:56 I was like, oh, I know what that is. I know what you're doing. You just want to raise. Yeah, exactly. Like a salesman. Like, I helped you today, but really, he's just putting it on there? It's bogus. Oh, wow.
Starting point is 01:04:04 It's one of those things that other people wouldn't care about but like drives me nuts a little bit because yeah last time i went there we're gonna send the studio up they're like uh i asked her if they had something they didn't have it and she's like well if you get anything else say would you mind throwing the sticker on what you got i was like in my head like you know you're if you get if i go and do it and get it, you want the commission? And then another guy came by. I had to ask for a lot of help last week. And another guy came by.
Starting point is 01:04:30 He's like, you looking for something? I was like, yeah. Couldn't find this, but you have this. And he started helping me, and then he got buzzed over the intercom, and he just gave me his packet of stickers. He's like, hey, anything else? Here's like 10. Just stick them on anything else.
Starting point is 01:04:41 You get the rest of the day. It must be like a big discrepancy then like stickers and no stickers is how much you get paid and there must be some i mean yeah but good for micro center because everyone is so helpful because they are yeah they're chomping at the bit to get their stickers on your products interesting but they're doing it and like not not the way that i think micro center corporate wants them to be doing it yeah yeah yeah it's like it's like yeah the the greeter is just passing you out stickers as you walk in the door just throw this on somebody put it on there and you get 7% on. You say 7% on? Yeah, 7% on.
Starting point is 01:05:10 You mean off? 7% on. Just put it on there. See what happens. See what happens. 7% on. 7% on. You put it on the thing.
Starting point is 01:05:16 Just watch. It's our on initiative. Yeah. You only have to pay 9.5% tax on that if you put it on there. I think that's how much tax is. Well, thank you for shopping at micro center compared to last year it's seven percent uh inflated price on we're having a deal right now where if you put the sticker on it's seven percent higher price than uh when trump was in office so that's micro center so yeah that's interesting okay um speaking of technology i feel like um i uh wait oh sorry go ahead no i do i do want time and to tell us a little more about himself
Starting point is 01:05:52 oh yeah yeah sorry sorry oh well yeah i don't know how do i how do i continue we'll ask you some questions okay yeah where'd you grow up i grew up in uh stillwell slash busiris kansas okay which is city boy sort of like a mix of the country and the city yeah yeah you like that spot i do i do yeah it's great yeah do you would you say you live on land yeah yeah we have around six ish acres okay okay but it's still it's still a neighborhood it's a nice balance do you explore like do you have uh any woods that you can explore on your property yeah in our neighborhood there's like a couple of our neighbors behind their houses just like a few miles of woods that we've
Starting point is 01:06:26 explored, got lost in as children. Some great traumatic memories. I couldn't find my way home for dinner sometimes. And then you are one of six? Eight. One of eight kids. One of eight. Yeah, eight sounds better.
Starting point is 01:06:41 And where are you in the pecking order? I am the second oldest. Oldest boy. I have one older sister. So there were a lot of eggs in your family? Good, Brad. You could say that, yeah.
Starting point is 01:06:58 And what are you involved in outside of all this videography and tech stuff? You know, I'm homeschooled. And so basically nothing. No, I'm just kidding. No, yeah. I do theater. I do, you know, I like to sing and act. And then, you know, just existing, you know?
Starting point is 01:07:16 Yeah. One of my hobbies is probably just living. One of my hobbies is probably just, yeah, one of my hobbies is just coming. That's fun. Tymon posted something on his Instagram story a couple weeks ago, maybe, about the new album that he's in. He's in, like, a live. just just fun time and posted something on his instagram story a couple weeks ago maybe about the new album that he's in he's in like a live like there's like a professional musical album that he is featured in yeah is it for daniel yeah sing for the character of daniel in this um in
Starting point is 01:07:37 this musical called between two worlds between two worlds yeah it's like a musical based on the life of daniel from the bible with a futuristic spin on it. But yeah, I got to sing for the main character. Yeah, Tymon's got some pipes. How futuristic? Daniel have an iPhone? Oh, how futuristic? He has a girlfriend, which is interesting.
Starting point is 01:08:00 I was like, I took the role because it was one way to get a girlfriend. It was really fun. Once I learned it was futuristic version. Sounded awesome. That's great, man. Cool. That's good. Well, thanks for being here, Ty. We'll hear from him plenty more.
Starting point is 01:08:09 Oh, yeah. Happy to be here. Absolutely. Speaking of technology, you were saying? Oh, yeah. I feel like I've run into usually a pretty techie guy, and I found myself questioning myself and how I'm dealing with technology this week. Oh, wow. Mac from Chike just texted us.
Starting point is 01:08:23 Tell the ghosties Chike loves him. Oh, hey. Ghosties, Chike loves you. And he sent a green emoji. Oh, wow. Mac from Chike just texted us. Tell the ghosties Chike loves them. Ghosties, Chike loves you. And he sent a green emoji. For Chike. For Chike. Anyway. So two different things. Both this happened this week. Is this relatable? I feel like if I'm on the phone with someone. Let me put my
Starting point is 01:08:39 If I'm on the phone. Oh, wow. That just puts a bunch of air into the. Hello? If I'm on the phone. Yeah, you got it. If I'm on the phone oh wow that just puts a bunch of air into the hello if i'm on the phone yeah you got it if i'm on the phone with someone and then i get called the three options that it presents to me yes confuse the daylights out of me every time because i'm looking for an option that just says like ignore ignore you're not going to find it ignore because you're going to find a voicemail send a voicemail hold and accept or end and accept and i i want to do the end and accept to ignore because it really send a voicemail is ignore yes yes yes yeah because end and accept is like the don't answer like red phone icon red means no thank you and send a voicemail it's the biggest one it's in the center but for some reason my eyes are not drawn to it. Because it's just white with the little voicemails.
Starting point is 01:09:25 Dude, I love how much you're doing this for memory. Yes, I know exactly what you're talking about. Because I always get tripped up, and so I always just let it keep beeping in my ear. I'm like, fine, I don't care. Just every once in a while it's going to beep, and no one's going to know but me. But I'm just stressed. Yes, it is so hard for me to make a decision.
Starting point is 01:09:41 Maybe now that I've talked about it out loud, it'll be better. Can you go side button? I don't know what the side button would do. Just like Apple Pay. A quick click? Yeah, double click on that. I don't know, but yeah. Don't double click, actually, because if you try to do Apple Pay when you're on the phone,
Starting point is 01:09:54 it'll kick you off the phone. I've learned that. Okay. I thought you were going to say it just pays them. Okay, Buster. Okay, Buster. Yeah, I was driving and on the phone with uh josh mayor shout out josh mayor golf and then my dad called me and i was like okay i'll call him back later and i was
Starting point is 01:10:09 just staring at my phone while i was like i don't know like josh was like you're there i was like yeah yeah sorry yeah i think i haven't spoken in like five seconds i'm just staring at my phone like what do i do so that was embarrassing and another thing i feel like uh trey and i are not seeing each other as much but still a decent amount of work together there's a lot of mood swing stuff to communicate with there's correct opinion stuff there's the tour a lot of emails going in now so trey and i've been emailing lately which is already kind of a new medium for us yeah why not text i think it's a lot of like so this will let me get into it so like a brand who wants to work with mood swings might email both of us.
Starting point is 01:10:45 Sure, sure, sure. We're both on the email. And then Trey from that will reply to it, but only reply to me. Oh gosh. And so that's what I, this is what I wanted to bring up. I've been very nervous communicating through email lately because I'm nervous if I'm doing it right.
Starting point is 01:10:57 Because like that guy's name is right there. Are you sure this email is always going? Yeah, double, triple check that. To you, it's like in the same thread. Email is just kind of confusing to me. Dude we can we go ahead and complain one more time uh you know r.i.p our fallen brother google inbox google inbox was the greatest thing that never was did we ever have that in the podcast at the same time i think we did at the very beginning right because i think we we like uh what's the word got sad together about it gotcha grieved because google inbox was
Starting point is 01:11:24 like gmail but but but smarter and google made their owncha grieved because google inbox was like gmail but but but smarter and google made their own separate app to gmail it was still gmail but it's called inbox like a great user interface it was amazing and i have so i have such a hard time now with gmail like the chain of a gmail like like back and forth responses of emails and stuff trying to find things and like like seeing like okay what has been said and sometimes you know all the previous emails will also be in the current email you know what i mean and it's just like this is i i miss inbox i never had this problem on inbox yep inbox new inbox would like remind you when to do things it was like it looks like this email is something that you need to worry about it's like you're right i do need to check in for my flight stressed about
Starting point is 01:12:02 this one probably anyway it was amazing so i almost i think a similar situation happened to you and i this week a company emailed both of us no company emailed me so i forwarded it to you and then i went back to reply to that company end up typing on an email to you because you were the most you were the bottom of the thread yeah and i was like oh my gosh about to send this to brad no i have to go up and then hit reply on their email that is funny it's like millennials trying to use things that Gen X is a little bit better at, you know, I'm sure just dominating emails, you know, and, and we're like, like we, we grew up with emails, but we were not emailing very much. We were doing much more instant messaging, text messaging,
Starting point is 01:12:37 things like that. And so we can kill that. But, but when we go back to emails every once in a while, we, we foible. It is funny to imagine like our dads being really good at an email like uh whatever platform that's not even very user friendly like they can use an email like oh you know aol email like that's flying around hotmail yeah yeah but like these things like gmail and you know outlook that are like all supposed to be just so nice and user-friendly it's like we're struggling yeah exactly yeah i don't know it's like it's like when the emails came out people were like dominating fax machines still you know but it was like okay wait but you can't do an email and vice versa now we're that we're the new generation of idiots idiots vice versa that's funny though about the
Starting point is 01:13:18 technologies thing yeah just both of those been happening happening this and those are like those are like so elementary it's not like you're not advanced enough in technology. No, those are the quote-unquote easy technology things. It's not like, hey, you got to turn location services on your phone, and I don't know how to do that because I don't know how to find my settings on my phone. That's a little more complicated.
Starting point is 01:13:37 You just have to know which three buttons. You have three options to push, and it's like, I'm getting overwhelmed with this. It's good yeah should we uh wrap this sucker up do some reviews of the week oh yeah get you get your hooves out have it on my phone i uh i'll go ahead start great jake reacts to the jingles like the afirmer jake reacts to the jingles like the affirming words on just dance the fact that brad can sing the theme song to many different tunes is amazing. It reminds me of
Starting point is 01:14:05 the theory that you can do the Macarena to any song. The way that you all talk about your Babes of the Week makes me hopeful for my future Man of the Week. The things Brad and Catherine teach their kids remind me of my childhood, from listening to Adventure in the Odyssey to the President's Placemat. Overall, the podcast makes my day brighter and keeps me encouraged

Christy Roll Tide. Bet she's an Auburn Tigers fan. What is shipped with the T?
Starting point is 01:15:06 I'm assuming, based off that, it's probably like Uber eats for, or what's it called? Like you order groceries and they pick it out for you and deliver it to you. Oh, I see, I see, I see. It's my guess. Fun. Fun. Ship shopper. Ship shopper.
