All right, everybody, let's start off with a little trivia question. Does my voice sound slightly different? A, I'm just trying to sound sexy. You're married. B, I watched half of The Dark Knight Rises on an airplane this weekend, so I'm just kind of going after the Batman voice. I mean, he loved Rachel, you love Rachel. Ooh.

Yeah. Where's Rachel? She's babysitting. She's babysitting. Or three, did last night I tell Rachel, hey, I'm so excited to pick you up

from the airport even though your flight lands at 1130. I want to hear everything about your weekend, my weekend. I'll be honest, this is the least sleep I've ever gotten on a weekend out of shows before. But you know what's great? I want to hear,

let's exchange stories all night because I'm going to get to sleep in tomorrow. And then at 9, 10, you get these texts and calls from Brad and Tymon and they're knocking on your door and your window and you realize, oh my gosh, I'm an idiot. I forgot that we changed the day of the recording to Monday and I didn't put it on my calendar. And so I just

woke up. Hey, what's up guys? Which one do you guys think it is? A, B, or C? It was B and C. I saw the dark night on the airplane. Where's Rachel? We get here. So Tymon texts and he's like, are we still recording today? So why did you text that? What made you think, okay. Well, I was like, I Tymon texted. He's like, are we still recording today? So why did you text that?

What made you think, okay. Well, I showed up. I was probably five-ish minutes early. I was pretty on time. Oh, you were early. I was a little early. Because we had talked about, hey, we got to be on the ball. Right.

I was like, Jake's got another podcast recording this afternoon, so we got to be quick about these things. And so I looked. I was like, there's no lights on. So I just texted from the car. I was like, there's no lights on. I was like, so I just texted just like from the cars, like I'm still on. Yep. And cause I, cause I thought like maybe time had already gone to the door and like no one answered cause Jake's car was still there. So I was like, Oh yeah, we're good. We're fine. Uh, and then yeah, Jimmy on the door a little bit, Jimmy, Jimmy's not opening that knob. You know what I mean? Uh, and so I was like, Oh,

Jake's definitely asleep because no, no doubt you would have like Texas. If you're in the shower, you're like, Hey guys, running late doors, unlocked, get ready. I talked to Jimmy. He'll let you in. Yeah. Right. James is James is the Butler. He'll let you in. And instead nothing. And I was like, I know Jake's beds right there by that window, but I hate getting abruptly woken up. I'll call him first. Call him. No answer. That is what started to wake me up, though. Okay, good. So it was good. Did you hear me yell? I heard.

You know what I heard? Oh, there he is. Outside the window. So I was like, I was like, because I was assuming Rachel is not there. But, you know, respect the privacy. It's not going crazy. Yeah. And so I like was like, Jake!

Jake! That's the same voice as talking to my Uncle John. That's my coach! Yeah, coach! You know, I was probably like four feet away from the window, like not wanting to be too close. And then I get close to the window, and I could like make out a little bit of like a silhouette.

And there's this phone just up in the air. I was like, okay, he's awake. He's got it. So there he is. And then I just kind of rolled over and texted Brad and Tymon. Oh, wow. Oh, wow. I realized what I had done.

I was so embarrassed. And here we are, 9.44 a.m. Jake is committed to the podcast. We'll be fine. We'll be fine. Let's do it. Uh-oh. Uh, uh,

oh, I, I think this type means that it's going down with some random thoughts and white meat to Midwest best friends eating fast food on repeat. So come along, let's have some fun and go ahead. Get on your feet. Cause this is a ghost.

Podcast. Everybody. Morning. Jake and Graham. Ghost. Podcast. Ghost. Podcast. Everybody morning we're taking grand bussines for a day Go for a podcast So you have gotten no sleep this past weekend.

Just less than normal for a weekend of shows. We didn't have a tour bus. And that's usually when I just knock out a ton of sleep is on the bus. It's great. But you slept in hotels. It's better in a bus, you think, for you? it may not even be the, it's like I'm getting better quality sleep, but just our schedules more this week. It was like, Hey, you got to get up early. We're taking a, a van to the next venue. All right. Next day. Hey, we've got to get up

early. We have to take a flight down to Palm Springs. Oh yeah. You texted me. You're like, I'm about to get on a flight. And I was like, I thought you guys were driving the whole time. Yeah, no. So it was just a lot of busy travel. And also it was just very eventful. The last weekend of shows we went out with, you know, it was TPC Sawgrass. We took a boat out and then a casino. And then this weekend was kind of similar. It was just, there was just so much going on. We had another show at a resort and casino again. You're not going to bed at a good hour after a night like that. So late nights. Do you think that's more just the vibe of the group or is that specifically Isaac that is affecting this?

I see what you're saying. Um, probably a little bit just the vibe of the group. And I think just the tour, I can't stress enough. The tour taking place in the summertime. Yeah. It just makes everything more fun and more eventful.

You're just doing stuff all day long. Right. And then even at night, it's like there's things to do. You don't want to go outside at night. Yeah. It's fun to do stuff. It's brighter outside. all day long. Right. And then even at night, it's like there's things to do. You don't want to go to bed. It's fun to go outside at night. Yeah. It's fun to do stuff. It's brighter outside.

Yeah. Dude, yeah. It's just awesome. Do you think it would be awesome if the summer was all year round? It would still be pretty sweet. It would be awesome. But at the same time, I wonder if we would appreciate it or if we would just like get back into our habits of not appreciating.

If you still have seasons where you do kind of stay inside more naturally, because it's like, Hey, it's Christmas time. It's time to cozy up next to the fire, even though it's 78 degrees outside. Would you do it? Cause like people,

because I'm asking this because people like Catherine's family in Texas, oftentimes, I mean, it's not that warm. It's not 78 degrees, but it might be 65, 70 degrees in December. And they still light a fire in the house. So I think it's like, it's like this like cozy, like, Hey, you know, it's

kind of cold inside. Let's light a fire. And I'm like, I don't know about this guys. You know what I mean? Like, it's like, let's go outside. Like, even if it's like at night, maybe it gets down to 59. That still feels good enough for me to go outside when I'm in Kansas and it's 25 all winter. I'm like 59 feels awesome. That's great. Let's go watch football, maybe with a blanket on our, our, you know, whatever outside. So. It'd be interesting to know from those who live in like a tropical place, like, are you used to it? Do you still like, what's, what's your circadian rhythm? Like, like year round circadian rhythm. I'm sure the answer is it's awesome because I feel like everyone that lives

in the Midwest has a little plumpness to them. Everyone that's in the coastal regions are just really healthy and nice looking. Like your friend Paul, Paul Shira, your dad's best friend, he just looks so healthy. Doesn't he look like he's 15 years younger than your dad?

They're like the same age and. Your dad seats and stuff. Yeah, there's a reason like... Actually, it would be funny if it was like, oh yeah, you should move to Maui. It's so cheap there. No one wants to live there because you just get so tired of summer. It's just like sunny all the time. You just get tired of it. There's a rainy season for like three weeks,

so don't go on your honeymoon then. Avoid that, obviously. That was something rachel and i talked about so she was gone all weekend at my sister's bachelorette party right and um look like a crazy time yeah she had some stories she was like it was uh it was a fun crew yeah she really didn't have a blast she's like i cried laughing probably three times this trip she's like caitlin's friends are so funny really She's just collected just the funniest girls around. Well, Caitlin's so funny.

Yeah. I mean, she's like you. I mean, I don't know if she's exactly like you, but she's a triplet in the originality aspect of her. Like the deal or no deal thing. Can you explain that? Oh, so funny. That was so funny.

It's like the theme of the weekend was just Howie Mandel, I think, or dealer no deal, I guess. The whole theme of the weekend? Well, I think she just even, okay. So there was one specific night where it was Dealer No Deal themed. So all the bridesmaids and just members of the party wore a red dress and they were given a tiny little briefcase that had like a number on it. And then my sister wore a bald cap and drew on a little soul patch.

And it was just Howie Mandel as they went out one night. wore a bald cap and drew on a little soul patch. And it was just Howie Mandel as they went out one night. So there's Howie Mandel with 12 of his beautiful women. Was there anything in those little briefcase things? So they did a fun thing. Shout out to SBU graduate Nicole. Nicole. Smart.

Nicole Bearcat. Yeah. That's how SBU does it. But she came up with this thing where, yeah, you open up your briefcase at night and it's a trivia question and it also has a trivia question about Caitlin. Also has a dare in it. You get it right, Caitlin has to do it. You get it wrong, you have to do it. Fun.

So Howard Mandel was doing some things. Yeah, yeah. Some dares. That was what they did. But I think even aside from that night that was dealer no deal. But I think even aside from that night that was dealer no deal themed, like I think the bald cap was just going around all weekend. Like I saw pictures of Rachel in it.

Oh, really? My sister was in it, you know, multiple times. So. That's awesome. Maybe that was one of the dares or one of like the consequences. Like you had to wear the bald cap

for two hours. Spend the day in a bald cap. Yeah. All right. So sorry. Yeah. Rachel was gone for the weekend. Where was I going with that?

You were going somewhere. I definitely had like an idea in mind why I brought that up. I don't know. Sunny outside. Oh, you brought up raining during... Yes. Yeah, the rainy season.

And Rachel and I compared, because we're getting pretty good at describing the honeymoon now. Okay. I was like, yeah, I feel like I've got it down to pretty good, like two or three sentences.

She's like, yeah, me too. But one thing I forgot to mention, so I was like, what's your two two sentence version? And she was like, yeah, just like the food was awful and it rained a lot. And like, they didn't have like any excursions. Like they wouldn't even let us read to kids, which I forgot to talk about on the podcast last week. There's a lot that I forgot to talk about. Um, but yeah, they had like next to zero excursions. One of them them was you've seen it on instagram before you can go to that island where you uh the pigs swim with the pigs exactly they do it on firefest exactly yeah yeah the firefest ads you know oh yeah and i mean this excursion is like 400 bucks

a person i mean how great are these pigs oh yeah farm animal. You eat one at the end of it? Yeah. Get to take one home? They have a luau, like a suckling pig at the end? Just the whole pig excursion. I just won't take no for an answer. All right, so which... I've got mine picked out. Which one's yours? All right, I'll take porky. Should we start getting a fire going?

We don't have another hour. Right. Get them in the pit? The spit? What do they call that thing? I don't want to see it, so let's just take care of it over there. I do want to put the apple in its mouth, though. Can I do that?

That's an extra $50? Worth it. All right. I'll do it. I'll wash my socks for three bucks each and put that apple in there. Yeah, just over and over. All right.

All right. Which one's yours? So, Rach and I were like, I mean, if it was like 50 bucks, sure, it's something to do for a couple hours but 400 bucks we both grew up on a farm what i'm not gonna go pay to see another farm animal was it 400 each or yeah yeah yeah per person how yeah it's pretty pricey there's no way there's no way a pig's worth that much unless you're unless you're getting something out of it

unless they got unlimited bacon at the end yeah unless it Unless it could. Yeah. See the future. Right. So we didn't do that. The only other excursion option. Oh, there was ATV riding sold out. Of course. Because it's the only option. Yeah.

Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. I never saw any ATVs though. I don't know how, you know, yeah. Available that even was, but then there was a third option that we saw on the website and you could go

spend time with local Bahamian, uh, children and go read to them. And so we're like, Hey, we'll do that on our honeymoon. Like something to do. Why not? I think that was like, if anything, very minimal, like you might pay for like, they give you the bacon at the end of that one as well. And so we were really excited. We're like, well, that'd be fun. You know, they haven't let us do much we can't windsurf we can barely golf you know uh we'll go read to kids that'd be really cool and then even that they're like oh it's it's sold out and we're like well there's like there's a lot of kids yeah we're like you can't like make room for for two more and then comes because we're like

there's no way we're sold out because we go play tennis and we're the only ones there. We go play ping pong, we're the only ones there. Right. We are the only ones sailing. We're the only ones doing anything here. There's no way all these people

who are really taking advantage of the all-inclusive alcohol are reading to children. Yeah, right, right, right. There's just no way. Or those people should not be reading to children. Hey.

Yeah, yeah. The Cat in the Hat by Dr. Sue S. Oh, okay. Can we do this inside? It's so freaking... Yeah. Right outside. Sue Ass. Oh, okay. Can we do this inside? It's so freaking bright outside. Holy cow. I need that.

I do not like green eggs, man. I do not like the Santa Anne. I will not turn out in the couch. I will not, could not, with my pouch. And then I said, as I turn out a lice, Merry Christmas all and all the good nights. Give me some of that. What was that?

Peach sunrise? Peach surprise. Peach surprise. Want to make peach surprises last night. Yeah, hard peach surprise. That taste was one of the hardest peach surprises. Oh, my gosh. I'll slip one to you too, okay, buddy? Don't tell your teacher.

Okay? Is that what it goes like? Ll regina i don't know good night good night moon by curious george curious george takes his train but margaret and i share a race. This is George. He has good little nunkeys. And always very curious.

That's a good one. So those are the people reading instead of Rachel and I. Joel, do you think it was only people from your resort that could go on these excursions, though? That could be the case. Maybe it's like, you know, there's a very wholesome resort that you didn't look into. And that's all they want to do is hang out with the kids. It was a non-inclusive resort.

You had to go. Yeah, I don't know. Something seemed off. Something seemed like it wasn't actually sold out and they just didn't want to take us or like it wasn't going on that week or something. I don't know. Theory number two. I mean, they're, they're from the Bahamas, but maybe they're like the Americans. They're not in school. And so maybe you'd be going to a lot of preschools, you know, elementary schools, they're on summer break. And so you'd only like have like, instead of, you know, 15 options of places to go,

there's only like a few orphanages or something or something. I don't know. Good theory. I will say as we drove to the resort the very first day, I saw a school and all these kids in uniforms out during recess. Looked pretty cute. Yeah. Didn't look like orphans.

Nope. They looked just fine. As opposed to orphans. Yeah. No, orphans are beautiful. Sure. Far from fine. That's too bad.

Oh, that's funny. Okay, yeah. Anyway, we don't need to talk about that anymore. I just thought of it just recently. Yeah, last night. I was like, oh, yeah, I didn't talk about it. They wouldn't let us read to children. I was talking to my dad yesterday because Father's Day was yesterday

and wished him a happy Father's Day. And he was like, how was Jake and Rachel's honeymoon? I was like, oh, dad. Tune in tomorrow. Just wait for the podcast. You're going to think it's hilarious. So I gave him the bullet points and he was laughing pretty good. Yeah. Yeah. He just loves situations like that. Yeah. It's all good. Yeah.

I just tell people, I was like, we, we still had fun, but it rained a lot. There were bugs in our room. We will never do anything like it again. So that's all you need to know. We learned our lesson. Well, you, yeah. Are you like never all inclusive again? Is that what you mean? I think I would do a, uh, I would do a cruise. Okay. You know, like you better be careful, make sure you go the right cruise. Cause I feel like cruises can be like real feast or famine. That's true too. Yeah. I think I'd be much more careful with the cruise. My parents really know their way around a good cruise ship. Where are they? What, what a line? I think they really like Royal Caribbean. Okay. So I'll trust them.

But yeah, I think that's like way cheaper than what we just did. And it's still a similar experience in a way where like everything's kind of covered. You don't have to do too much. You don't have to go too far. Yeah. If you like the steak or chicken, you can get another one. Get another one. Get two.

Try both. You can do excursions. Speaking of cruises, were you on the K-Life conference that went on a cruise? It was right before me. Okay. It was like the year before. So, K-Life, every single year in January, has a mid-year conference that they go on with all the staff members from all around the nation. And usually, they just meet in Branson.

And one year, for whatever reason, they went on a carnival cruise and it was like, Whoa, like K-Life, like doing it right. This is so fun. This is going to be so cool. And I think it was actually, was it the year that we got married? It might've been the year that I think it was the year before I started. Cause that's what I heard about. Like, yeah, K-Life conference.

I went to a cruise last year. I'm pretty sure we got married and then we went on our honeymoon. And then like two days later, she left to go on this like conference. And I remember being like, how about you just don't go like that big of a deal. You go, we're just newly married anyway. Uh, but she went and I think the reason that they got like, she called it the poop boat or, Oh no, because there was, there was something that it was like kind of a famous thing where like Carnival, there was something, one of their ships, like literally like the sewage burst on it or something. Burst.

And like there was literally poop like going down the walls and stuff like this, like crazy. It was crazy. And so, yeah, Catherine realized like six months later, but they were on this, they were on the same boat that like, so no wonder they got this cheap, you know, boat opportunity. And then of course, once they figured that out, like one wonder they got this cheap, you know, poop wall boat opportunity. And then of course, once they figured that out, like one of her friends was like mentally like, I think I can smell something. I think there's something here. And Kevin's like, you wouldn't have ever said that if not for, for that. So that would, that'd be wild. Yeah. You go on this like, yeah, Caleb

is hooking up with free cruise. You get down there. You think you're going to do like a seminar, just a timeshare presentation. You're like, wait, this is how we're paying for it. We have to sit through these to get on this free cruise. It sucks. But they're like, hey, but we think you should disciple these people. You know, like, why don't you just... You don't have to just listen. Yeah. You can talk as well. Roman road, you know. Make the bridge. Right. Yeah, exactly. Yeah. They're like showing you like something on a piece of paper. You're like, well, let me show you this. Let me show you something. Here's you, Here's God. How are you going to,

there's a gap. Yeah. There's a gap. And you can, there's you, you can try to build a ramp. You can try to do all these different things. It's never enough. There's,

and there's fire underneath it. That's what we always do for elementary school kids. Yeah. So you fall, like you would die. Like there's no trampoline. Like people be like, well,

what if there's a trampoline? How deep is it? What if it's a pool? Like I could die. Yeah. I could dive into, no, it's, it's fire. Okay the bottom? How deep is it? What if it's a pool? Like I could dive. Yeah, I could dive. No, it's fire. It's fire.

It's so hot. You would die immediately on impact. Anyway. Have we ever gone over this like doing devos at camp? Because I was talking about this with Paul Shire, skinny young Paul. Yeah. We got dinner two nights ago because he's in San Diego. Fun.

It's really fun. And he was talking about how he's been. This is actually really cool. Kind of inspired me a little bit. Maybe you and I could do something similar. Okay because he's in San Diego. Fun. It's really fun. And he was talking about how he's been, this is actually really cool. Kind of inspired me a little bit. Maybe you and I could do something similar. Maybe. Hey, hey. Hey.

Maybe. I said maybe, okay? Catherine's really getting in on that joke and it's really fun. Like out of nowhere she'll be like, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey. I'm not, what's wrong? You know, like. Funny. Hey, hey, hey, come on.

Anyway. I forgot what inspired her, what started it. But basically,ul's been living in the same neighborhood with the same people for 20 years or something like that and so he wanted to start a neighborhood bible study like these people don't go to the same church most these people don't even go to church yeah but he invited like six couples that all live right around him really wow and just like i'm gonna do a bible study with them cool these people didn't even have bibles and so he's like giving the bibles like really just like entry I'm going to do a Bible study with them. These people didn't even have Bibles.

And so he's like giving the Bibles, like really just like entry level type stuff. But it's really cool. And they did a six week session. And he was like, I mean, do you guys want to, you know, I don't want to forest it or whatever. And like, let's do another one. And they're doing another one. And so it's really cool. But he was talking about some of like, it's great for them because you can't just ask

a question in the middle of a sermon. Like, hey, sorry, is this the same, David? Or whatever. Propitiation. Yeah, sanctification. I don't know what this... And they can ask no dumb questions. And so he was saying some of the questions I get, it's really great.

And some of them are kind of funny. And some of them are really hard to answer in a couple sentences or whatever. And I was like, the next step for you, I was like, because I know when I was at Kanakuk, I would do the same thing. Like, hey, I want you to feel like you can ask any question. It doesn't matter. And it would always come back to dinosaurs, no matter what. Really?

Middle schoolers, yeah, they were so obsessed. It was either dinosaurs or the rapture. Okay. And eventually you had to have some like, what's the word? But basically, these are off limits. Like, all right, okay, you guys can ask any question, but no dinosaurs, no book of Revelation. We're not talking about that. We're talking about Matthew.

That's one of those things, don't think about pink elephants. It's like, well, why doesn't he want to talk about dinosaurs? What's he hiding without dinosaurs? Are the dinosaurs related to end times? Are those the same thing? I don't know if you had that at K-Country as well, if they were fascinated by that. We loved every question.

It was like, the more random, the better. The more inquisitive. If a kid cares enough to ask a question, wonderful. That's fun. That's fair. We're at slightly different ages where it's like, I think we can actually get somewhere here. Right.

So, hey, Braxton, stop asking about the brachiosaurus. Dude, I've been really tempted in the last i don't know two weeks of like do i should i send hattie to camp this summer like kind of out of nowhere i mean she's six and like i think technically yeah six-year-olds can go but i look back and i'm like i think every six six-year-old i can think of that went to camp could swim really well or like like there was never a kid at camp that was like, you have to wear a life jacket in the pool. And Hattie cannot swim. Like she just like became comfortable

putting her head underwater. You know, it's like- Baby steps. I don't think, maybe this isn't the right time for you. Would you send her for two weeks? No. Oh, well, I really wanted to go to the camp that I worked at.

Sure. And they changed that one to one week. Yeah. But if so, I would have definitely sent her for two weeks. Wow. Because only because it would be hard for me mentally and financially, but like, I think, I think it would be like when I worked at camp, I don't know about you, but like, cause you guys did one week every once in a while. Right. And so did we. And it was like, every time it was one week, it was like,

you guys just aren't getting enough. Like just experience. I was a big camper. So I know. Yeah. And if you don't know any different, I bet it wouldn't be that big of a deal. But as a counselor, you're like, you're only doing half the parties. Half the parties, half the camps. You don't get to see the end of the story.

Right. Well, we always like condensed it into the one week thing, but like it wasn't the same. It's just not the same. And so it's like, I would love for you to go to two weeks, but I'm not sending you a K1.

I'll tell you that right now. Not sending you to Peter's camp. Yeah. We all know about Peter. Getting baptized in his zip off pants. So anyway. Um, yeah. Thinking about that,

but I think ultimately we're just, I'm maybe I'll just take her on a little trip again to Branson and get the backstage pass. Yeah. So who knows? Um, okay. Well tell me,

tell me more about, uh, California. Let's see. I, um, chronological. I dj michael we're we're starting to have a really cool because he's leaving right i know yeah he's for good or for like a time for a while he actually left today which is monday we basically just got done touring for um rehearsals with dude perfect because they're about to go out on tour again so he's about to leave us for the dudes.

Are they coming to Kansas City? Yes. Do you think you could get tickets for me and my children? I don't know. I don't know how easy it is. You've never met them. Come on, Michael. I don't know.

It's the Thursday before my sister gets married. Okay. And so I'll actually be in town. So I'm really excited to see him again. Yeah. I've just heard such good things about the Dude Perfect Tour. Yeah. Yeah, I'm excited to see the show.

Yeah. But yeah, we're just starting to have a really cool friendship. And we went on a walk together. We're just having fun. He's hilarious. A couple of just funny quick stories. I mean, I think one I put on

my Instagram story, but we were driving like on this bridge in San Francisco and you could see Alcatraz and Michael's like, yo, is that Azkaban?

And just being completely serious. Well, he was serious. Yeah, yeah. I saw that on your story. I was like, that's kind of funny. It was like when Isaac

called an albatross and golf an Alcatraz. I don't know if he ever told you that. He's like, so what's three under on a par five, alcatraz? Almost, buddy. Close.

Good try. Close, Kevin. Not close, Holly. There was this woman who worked at the resort in Palm Springs who'd been with us all day, much older woman. Anyway, I think she'd been around all day. She hadn't really met Mikel, but she was coming to say bye. It was the end of the

day and she was like, Trey, thank you for everything. It was awesome. He's like, yes, thank you. She's like, oh, you are? And he's like, I'm Mikel. Thanks for everything. I'm a hugger, but I don't know if you're into that or whatever. And she was like, oh yeah, I love hugs. He's like, let's get it.

He just gives her the big. I love let's get it. All like, let's get it. It gives her the big and stuff. I love let's get it. All right, let's get it. All right, let's get it then. It was like, all right, get prepared, mama. Prove it then. Let's see what you got. Let's get it. That's amazing. Instead of just hugging. All right, hey, let's get it. All right, let's get it then.

I want to meet him now at Do Perfect, and I don't want to say I'm a hugger I just want to say hey let's get it and see what happens bring it in man let's get it it's so funny let's get it hey it's time

he's also he's starting to really get comfortable messing with us when we're on stage I filmed some and put on my story he's really he'll like take his shirt off side stage and just he's a big guy and just will bounce around trying to get Alan's attention but recently he's really he'll like take a shirt off side stage and just he's a big guy it just will bounce around trying to get alan's attention but recently he's been more messing with me so i was doing some some crowd work and um i'm asking it's completely silent here you know because you're waiting to hear the answer and i'm like all right how long have you guys been together he's like like 10

years i was like okay 10 years and then as soon as I say 10 years, I hear off to the side, like not even side stage, but like in the front, Mikel is in the audience now. And he goes, oh, and it was just, I was like, oh, that is definitely Mikel.

That is so funny. Just being a goof. Does that almost relax you in some ways? It was like making me crack up while I was performing a little bit. Yeah, it was fine. I didn't mind it. It'd be different if he was just sitting there front and center.

Like, all right, this is distracting me. But I couldn't see him. It was just this one tiny little two-second thing. That's funny. Anyway, funny guy. Really enjoy him. Going to miss him. But let's see.

We did Sacramento, San Francisco, Palm Springs, and then San Diego. but uh let's see the rest of the tour the shows went really well we did sacramento san francisco palm springs and then san diego so good cities there are ghosties at all of them really fun ghosties yeah yeah we have some we have some gifts here last night from some folks fun we can open up a couple cards elizabeth virgil was at the show again uh i bet she was just like and it was okay right like she wasn't very encouraging and she was just like, and it was okay.

I heard 2,300 at first, and then I heard 2,500. I was like, that's cool. That seems right. And then Trey at the end of the night said 3,000.

I was like, how many people were here? I like just like, yeah, making it a taller tail. Yeah. Like, I think I'm pretty sure there was 5K there. Yeah. Yeah. It was nuts. I think it's where the Chargers used to play.

Yeah. That's a really sweet card, Nina. And just a nice, I mean, really, I can't get over the handwriting on this thing. Look at that. Seriously.

That looks like, um, like a font. It's called like cursive font on the computer or something. Maybe it is. No, I'm just kidding. I know they get you sometimes with the,

um, the mail these days where you're like, sometimes this is handwritten. No, it's not. Dang it. Yeah. It wasn't.

Um, I just Googled San Diego civic theater capacity, 2967written. No, it's not. Dang it. Yeah. It wasn't. Um, I just Googled San Diego civic theater capacity, 2967. So yeah, it actually was. And it was standing remote. Like there was at least 3000 people there. Oh yeah.

And so, uh, Saturday I kind of, you know, usually Saturdays are our dadder days, right? I've heard. Um, but we did an honorary Wednesday dadder day because Catherine wasn't feeling

well and the kids were gone last Saturday. So Wednesday morning took out the kids to breakfast at Chick-fil-A, took them to the playground, whatever, did stuff with them, gave Catherine basically, I don't know, six or seven hours where she was off. And then, so since Saturday, um, came around and I was like, let's do something like that, but let's do it at home. So we did dadder days at home. And it's amazing how much these kids will just get excited about the little things that I was spoiled with every single day of my life. Like cinnamon toast crunch. Like I went to Aldi the day before I got cinnamon toast crunch. I got five different kinds of berries, like just so many different kinds of raspberries, blackberries, strawberries, other berries,

blueberries, um, and then, uh, chocolate milk. And they thought it was the greatest thing ever. It was awesome. And we just ate outside. So like Catherine couldn't hear us. She could sleep in if she wanted to. And it was a good time. So, um, did she start to sleep in? And then all of a sudden you were like kind of behind the window. Oh, there she is. Catherine. No, but there was one point. So, so, so Bo has kind of like three years old. It's like the, the age where, where kids really struggle. I feel like, I mean, at least my kids, like everyone talks about terrible twos and I think that's just a catchy tagline because threes are really the worst. Like what would the tagline be for threes are really the worst. What would your tagline be for threes? I've heard three-nagers.

Oh, that's hilarious. Oh my gosh. Yeah. The thwarting threes. Thorny threes. Thorny threes, yeah. A thorn-ager. Let's go with that.

Yeah, we got a couple thorn-agers. Thorn, Ragnarok. I don't know. You had one? Time of raise of hand what did you say nothing i okay uh it was still ragnarok you took it yeah that was i was gonna say ragnarok and then you said i'm a big uh superhero because time it likes the action stuff in the cartoons that's right that's an inside joke that we have with time what was that oh we were for our jingle this week we're doing a song from Into the Spider-Verse. Is that right, Tymon?

Yeah. Tymon's like, have you guys seen, is it the new one? Yeah. And I was like, oh, is that the cartoon one? He's like, I mean, it's not cartoon. It's live action. No, he said animated. Animated, yeah.

I was like, it's the same thing. It's animated. Brad's just calling it a cartoon. Oh, and the C3B Rose thing, by the way, was Tymon's idea. The ad, right? You put that in there? Oh, the... That's probably what Garrett's crying about. The meme?

The Thanos thing? Yeah. He's probably laughing. We made your voice a robot. But then I bet he's laughing. What are you laughing? What are you crying about? Hey, Garrett, explain your laugh. Why do you think we're funny? I know why we're funny, but explain it to us. Love that cartoon.

The best cartoon. Anyway, what were we talking about? Teenagers. Yeah, Ragnarok. So anyway, there was one point you were like, did you ever go right by Catherine's window? There was one point where Bo did have a pretty nice tantrum because he wasn't eating.

Dad hack for you. I give them the stuff that they have to eat first and obviously like entice them with the cinnamon toast crunch. So it's like, you have to have your fruit. I had hard boiled egg. You have to eat your hard boiled egg.

And yeah, I think that was it. I mean, it wasn't like crazy. And he loves hard boiled egg. He requested the day before and he just was not eating his peaches. I was like, you have to eat at least one peach. You know, I'm compromising to an extent, but I'm like, whatever. And so then I finally bring out my bowl of cereal and his bowl of cereal. Naturally, daddy's bowl of cereal is filled to the brim. Awesome. And had he not once had, had he ever like in her whole life been like, actually, can I have that one? It has a little bit

more. Like she's never said that. And so I'm like, I guess kids are just immune to this. Bo is not. He's like, he's like, I want that ball. I was like, no, that's dad's bowl. This is your bowl. I mean, it's probably like a quarter of the way filled compared to mine. And he lost it. He got so upset.

He was like, I'm not, I don't want this. And like literally started running around the entire yard. Like just like, so, so out of the unfairness. Yeah. Like, cause I was like, okay, come inside.

We're going inside. We're going to go have a timeout. And he's just like stood up and just started sprinting around the yard. It only is underwear. Cause you know, he's like potty trade. And so it was just this funny scene. It's funny to run out of anger.

Yeah. No, no. Cause he didn't want me to, he didn't want me to catch him and take him inside. And so he just runs away from me. And so I did have the thought of like, yeah, Catherine's trying to have this peaceful morning inside.

And Bo is just, yeah, running a 400-meter dash. Yeah, she just hears him outside like, what's going on out there? Is there a little bit of like, well, I was going to kind of try to calm him down, but let's just let him run himself out. 100%. Yeah, let him go. Oh, yeah. I mean.

It's human. Yeah. We also, on Thursday night, went to Peter's ice cream social thing. I really wanted to go to that. It was really fun. There was a bounce house there. I was like, Peter, next time advertise the bounce house. Put the bounce house on the flyer.

A hundred percent. I was like, that will get people there a lot quicker than the ice cream will. Yeah. And anyway, but Bo also had a little bit of a tantrum. He's been disobedient a lot lately. Obviously, it's wrong, but it's also part of being three, and I understand that. I'm trying to be patient with it.

Thornagers. The thornagers. But he started running away from me then and ran out into the parking lot a little bit. Not as cute. That's not okay. Not as much of a stage. There's no fence around the parking lot.

Yeah, that's bad. So, yeah, I got frustrated with him then for sure. Anyway, so a lot of time with Bo, a lot of time with Hattie and Rosie, they're really, Rosie is like getting to this point. She's getting this really fun point where she's like mimicking what you do. And so if you nod, she'll like, kind of like she'll nod along with you, but she kind of has like an attitude when she does it. She'll be like, anyway, really fun starting to say dad, dad, mama and ball. She loves balls. So yeah.

And let's see. Oh, Saturday I went to the gym Saturday afternoon after I'd been with the kids all morning or all afternoon. Catherine just texted me. I'm in the basement hanging out with the kids, you know, giving her some time. And she says, you should go to the gym. Smiley face. And I sent her. I looked up. I looked up on gifts.

I looked up word. And it was this Gary Payton gift of him being like, Oh, so I got up and went to the gym. And while I was there, this guy was like, what's up? Jean shorts. And I was like, what's up, dude? Happened to me at baggage claim yesterday. Really? Same thing. Just like a point like Jean shorts. Yeah. I was like, what's up, dude? Yeah. It was, it was so fun. Like it's so life giving. Anytime you guys ever see us, please say hi, because it's so wonderful. I never get tired of it. I talked to this guy for like 30 minutes.

Like I was, I think I went to the gym at three 45 and didn't get home till six because I was like, sorry, I hung out with this guy for a while. Cool. Uh, super good dude. Like he's a dad of two and we just like, I shared with him some thoughts I had on fatherhood and he was asking me, he's like, so you have your own business was, was that hard to leave your corporate job, you know, for this? And so we talked to him all about that.

And so anyway, shout out to chase. Uh, yeah, hopefully I, I tried to encourage him like, yeah, we have a podcast as well. If you like our, if you like our YouTube stuff, so maybe he's listening, but, um, that was really fun. And, and the whole time, like multiple times, he's like, dude, you're so cool, man. I was like, thank you. He's like, he's like, it's so fun to like meet somebody and they're like even cooler in real life.

Oh, let's go. I was like, thanks, man. Well, if you think this is cool, then maybe you'll like my podcast. I don't know. That's awesome. Yeah. And then yesterday, obviously father's day was awesome. It was fun.

And I, you know, it's just like anything else for guys, maybe not every single guy, maybe it's just stereotypical, but at least for me, I'm always uncomfortable telling people how I want to be loved and appreciated. Catherine's always like, what do you want to do for your birthday?

I'm always like, we don't have to do anything. I am so content with very little, but she's like, no, let's do whatever you want to do. Father's Day was the same way. What do you want to do? What do you want me to make for breakfast? I was like, I don't care. She's like, well, we got a bunch of berries, so I'll make you some blueberry muffins. I was like, cool. Great. I like blueberry muffins. Um, so I had those went to church. Um, I volunteered, we volunteered in the nursery for the second service and they were like the,

the vault, the like leaders, like the staff members at church were like, thank you so much for volunteering on father's day. And I was like, I don't think it's that big of a deal. Like that. I can't serve on father's day. Also, I didn't realize it was father's day when I signed up, but I don't think I would have said no to it. Um, but we were with kids that were like two years old. I guess just a little bit younger than Bo. And it was like teenagers, teenagers, loony toonies. And, uh, yeah, they honestly, like, I feel like most of the time in the nursery lately, I've been having like these dramatic experiences. This one was like so easy, just chill day. The only thing that was even somewhat hard was there was this one girl who literally asked, where's mama to me? Not like in a crying, like whiny way. Like, are you my mother? Dr. Sue style? No. Like in a just,

I bet she asked me 200 times, just stared at me. Like didn't even. And so like eventually, so, so at first I was like, she's at church. She's at church. Where's my, like every, I can hear it, hear the audio in my head. This is exactly how it sounded. Where's mama? Where's mama? Where's mama? Where's mama? She's at church. She's at church. And then eventually I was like,

messing with her. I was like, she's in a birdcage. She's at PetSmart. Yeah. You're getting a new dog. She's getting a haircut. And then I turned it on her because I knew like all her siblings' names.

So I was like, where's your dad? Where's your mom? You know, whatever, all these different things. And then I knew she had chickens at home. So I was like, where's your dad? Where's your mom? You know, whatever, all these different things. And then I knew she had chickens at home. So I said, where are the chickens? She goes, at church. I was like, no.

She's like, at home. Yeah. Anyway, but genuinely like 200 times. Dude, at home, like suburban chickens have been like a weird theme in my life recently. Really? Somewhat. Rachel, the family she's been babysitting for the like i forget how old this girl is maybe like 10 years old or something she has gotten a job chicken

sitting so she is sitting on chickens okay and i get all these videos from rachel of her like running around trying to catch this chicken that got out oh yeah and this girl is hilarious that's so cute in the parking lot though no no hey hey no. Hey, hey, hey. Only if it's in, you can run. And this girl now wants her own chickens, wrote out this whole plan for her parents on what she's going to need from her parents, but what she will do. It was really cool. And then yesterday, I was only home for probably 30 minutes,

enough time, whip up some pizza rolls, and then we're hitting the golf course. I throw in some Shark Tank, and this guy, I haven't watched Shark Tank in a decade, it feels like. And this guy is talking haven't watched Shark Tank in a decade, it feels like. And this guy is talking about these chicken coops that he's like selling and starting his whole company with.

And I was like, how popular are suburban chicken homes? And then you just brought it up too. It's starting to become a thing. Like what? People just want their own eggs? Is that what it is?

I think part of it. Yeah. I think there's a lot of discrepancy out there. There's a lot of controversy behind like how much, how much better, yeah. Like eggs that are grown, you know, in a certain way are than others. It's interesting. Like you can literally like Google, like a Walmart, you know, generic egg versus like this kind of egg. And like, they look different. Like the Walmart one looks

kind of nasty, honestly, once you, once you see the other one. So I don't know, there's just a lot of people out there that are seeing the value of them. So cool. You have chickens timing? Yeah. No, not anymore. We did. Okay.

Yeah. Don't bring it up. It's our subject. Okay. I am curious. You said the thing about the business plan. Have you ever done anything like that with your parents? Like as far as like mom and dad,

like you have a really nice computer. You have a nicer computer than we do. Like a PowerPoint. Like here's why computer than we do. Like a PowerPoint. Like here's why I deserve an iPhone. Did your parents buy that for you? Did you save up for yourself? I saved up for myself. Okay.

Nice guy. It's like, I've definitely had like a thing where I like kind of come up with like these are the reasons. Yeah. Yeah. I got to get them justify it, you know? Right. Yeah, absolutely.

What are some of the products or the things that you've wanted to have to like justify? Definitely like a lot of my camera equipment, I feel like. Oh, okay, gotcha. Like videography, stuff like that. Yeah, and my computer. Camera stuff is definitely one that I think you have to explain to people because at least a computer, most people understand what a computer can do. Netflix.

Yeah, right. I need it. Microsoft Word, paint. And whereas, hey, I need this gimbal. Half the people in the world don't even know that word. Yeah. Yeah. And if you're in the parents,

you don't know that much about it. You're like, all right, it's like $600. You like, what are you going to use this for? Right. I was like,

no problem. Let me justify it for you. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. I remember doing that. I think was studying abroad with my parents. I remember like,

yeah, sitting them down and be like, is it going to cost more? But I think it's going to be worth it for this, this and this. And really it's not going to cost that much more and blah, blah, blah. So it's fun. That's fun. I never heard of like this, like bartering or like shark tank experience with your parents. It's like, I didn't grow up doing that. None of my friends, we never talked about this until I started doing K-Life. And then I would learn like specifically, I remember Elise Griffith, she made a PowerPoint for her parents on why she deserves a

smartphone. And I was like, wow, that was so fun. Wow. That's pretty cool. Yeah. That's amazing. He made a PowerPoint about it. And then I started seeing it everywhere. A lot of kids were doing stuff like that. I mean, I don't obviously love the smartphone idea because smartphones, I don't know. I'm scared of my kids having smartphones, but like, I love the idea of my kids. Like if you want it bad enough, like work for it kind of thing. Like, Hey, yeah. If you really want this, you know, camera equipment, like prove to me why it's worth it. Show me why it's valuable in, you know,

a financial, whatever, like teaching them some sort of business behind it. Sounds, sounds like fun to me, but I can, I can just imagine Bo someday being like, I don't know,

dad, it's a baseball bat, orange, you know, Bo's never going to like gain intellect past two years old. I don't know. It makes years old. I don't know. Makes loud noise. I don't know.

Yeah. Just a car. Bo, though, talking about, I think the reason Rosie's nodding her head so often is because Bo loves nodding his head and will nod his head. He's going to be a great salesman someday because he teaches you physically how to react to him.

Like mirroring behavior. He'll be like, it's an orange bat. It's an orange bat and it goes really far. So I should get it right. And he's just, I should get it. And he does this thing with his hand. I should get it. So anyway.

I have a trivia question for you guys. Please. We were in San Francisco. It doesn't matter where we are irrelevant we were in california we were driving down the road and there was a car that passed us that was like covered in like basically duct tape it was like a form of like tape um okay not quite like silver almost like kind of car black tape ish like was it a sedan it was a uh we'll call it mid-size bit of a maybe a hatchback okay trunk type you know like a rav4 okay okay sure style car cover and tape covered in tape but almost

like not like in a trashy way it was like professionally taped this way okay you couldn't see anything couldn't see anything really i mean like you couldn't see no windows from the car you could like barely see like you know the driver could see out and mean, like you couldn't see anything from the car. You could like barely see like, you know, the driver could see out and that was it. You could only see like part like you're telling me the majority of the windshield was taped. No, I don't think so. Okay. But like you just couldn't see much. You couldn't see any details of the car.

Trivia question is why was it this way? Because we found the answer. Oh, why would a car be completely taped? They're doing these things. So that's that's not tape. It's lead actually. Oh, to weigh it down to. things. So that's not tape. It's lead, actually. Oh, to weigh it down? Yeah, so they do these things where it's like mass x-rays, where you can get, like you've heard of mass exodus.

It's mass x-rays. And it's California, so there are mass exoduses, exodize. But you can get five to six people, depending on how large the people are, into these cars, and you can get six people X-rayed at once. Oh, nice. Is that what it is? It's kind of like, yeah, when you go to the dentist

and you have to wear that weird... They throw that thing on you. That vest kind of... Yeah, it's like a... It's like a weighted vest. What's that called? When you're a baby and you have to eat, like a little cloth? Bib, yeah, they throw a little bib on you.

Yeah, it's like a car bib. It's like the entire thing is a bib. Okay, that's Brad's guess. I'd say they're trying to polish up the windows and windshield, so they're taping off everything else. They're spraying some kind of polish on it. And the tires, I guess, as well,

which is interesting. Okay. Yeah, that's my guess. Well, not even my guess. That's what it is. That's what it is. Timon is closer. Oh, wow.

Well, we'll be in charge of that. If it's like a new car that has not quite come out yet, they are test driving it, but they want to cover it up so that no one can see what this new model of car is going to look like. Huh. Yeah, that's kind of cool. Kind of cool.

So what do you think was on it? You think it looked like tape? It looked like a Like, you think it looked, it looked like tape. Like what, like, was it like, it looks like a bunch of individual strips. Yeah. It was like black.

They have like a more effective way of, I guess. Yeah. You have like a, like, like a sheet or something you could put on it or something that takes less time to individual sticks of tape. Yeah.

That's kind of cool. Yeah. That's kind of fun. That's something that we would never see in Kansas because they're never test driving cars. Yeah, we don't get the new stuff. It takes a while to get here. You know what I was thinking about cars the other day?

Is that I've never seen an advertisement for Tesla in my entire life. I guess that's probably obvious to some people, but I'm like, oh wow. Tesla's are very popular, probably one of the more popular cars out there. They don't do any advertising. Yeah, that's kind of cool.

I told that to someone recently. They're like, oh my don't do any advertising. Yeah, that's kind of cool. I forgot, I told that to someone recently. They're like, oh my gosh, you're right. Oh, I think it was Alex Demchak. He had a crazy, he's like, yeah, I've never seen one. But yeah, it's kind of cool. They just don't have to. Yeah, never.

Like you'll see all these cars, everyone's coming out with their own electric car nowadays and all the features are like, this has this. And it's like, Tesla's had this for six years and they've just never made a commercial about it or anything, you know? Yeah, which maybe those people are like, Hey, people might not know about the Tesla features. So we totally, it doesn't, it doesn't mean they're in the wrong for promoting their, their car. Um,

good for them. Anyway, I did write down a few different things about my father's day that I'm like, like so often mentally, I think you're going to feel this way for 10 years where you're like, I still feel like a newlywed. I feel like a newlywed still, but at the same time I have three kids. Mentally, I don't feel like a dad, but then I wrote these things down of like on paper, you're definitely a dad. Okay. So here's what I did on father's day. That makes me a dad. Um, one is that I quote unquote slept in until seven 45. Wow. Like that was like that, that seems late to me on a Sunday morning. Hey, seven 45. Like what a treat.

Wow. Um, yeah. On paper, like in my, in my head, I'm like, yeah, I'm still a high school kid, but nope. You slept until seven 45 high school kids sleep in longer than that. Don't they time in? Oh yeah. Yeah. Um, I drove to church in a Honda Odyssey minivan.

Yeah. That'll do it. That'll, that'll yeah. And, and was proud of it. Excited. Yeah. Um, I, in the afternoon I went to Walmart and bought diapers. Okay. That'll do it. Yeah. Um, and then when we went to dinner, we went to dinner at Chewy's last night. That was my, my choice. Okay. And the reason I chose that was not because it's my favorite. I like Chewy's,

but it was because it was a safe bet for the kids. I knew they would like tortillas and chips and like, it's like less friction. You know, it's like, okay, the kids are going to have a good time. Therefore, Catherine and I can have a conversation or two. And when I went to dinner, I changed from one pair of New Balances that I was wearing for church to another pair of New Balances. That's a big dad day. So, yeah, that like often I'm like, no, I'm just the same guy. And then I look at it on paper. I'm like, well, you've changed a little bit, buddy.

So anyway, shout out to all the dads out there. There was a really cute video. Kirstie Swick posted it about her church. They did like one of those interview with the kids kind of thing. Like kids talking about their dads and they ask them questions. And Kirstie has kids really close to our kids age, actually, like a little bit, yeah, basically the same ages. And their middle daughter, Corey, I think, I apologize if it's not Corey. I'm pretty sure it's Corey. She's just a little bit older than Bo. And they asked her, what does your dad do for work? And she said, he lays the mulch. And for whatever, I saw it this morning

and I can't stop thinking about it. For A, it's hilarious. Like just the idea of him, like, yeah, he lays the mulch. That's what he does. And Stephen's an attorney. He's a lawyer. Like he's very hardworking, like real estate attorney. But in her eyes, he lays the mulch. That's how he does it. A, I love for whatever, like I can't wrap my head exactly around what it means, but like the metaphor of laying the mulch is just cool sounding. Do you want to have nicer home? Yeah. Up the value? Right. You got to lay the mulch.

Lay the mulch. Yeah. Got to lay the mulch. And then like it's also like beautiful of like he works so hard outside of his house, but like the kids don't see that at all. Like the kids see him laying the mulch. Yeah. For whatever reason, that's like stuck with me. I'm like, yeah, you can, you can do X, Y, Z. And of course he needs to do X, Y, Z in order to bring in the financial money for his family. But you got to lay like, like the kids see the mulch, you know

what I mean? And I'm like, there's something there. I don't know. I texted Kirstie. I was like, we need to put that on a t-shirt. I don't know why, but like, I texted Kirstie. I was like, we need to put that on a t-shirt. I don't know why, but like, and, and multiple times, I think they asked her in the video, you know, they have like 15, 20 kids they've interviewed for this thing. They ask, uh, Corey in the video, what does your dad do? He lays the mulch. And then later on, what's, what's your, the thing your dad does the best. And she thought about, she goes, lay the mulch. I mean, it's what he does full time. So yeah, she kept bringing up. Yeah. Just forever. He's the lay the mulch i mean it's what he does full time so yeah she kept bringing yeah just forever he's lay the mulch just i don't know it gets me going here's

what i see i see you as a uh professional like motivational speaker yeah and you're a big prop guy when you speak and so out on this big stage you've got like three different like uh buildings almost they're to scale but i mean like a 1 20th of the size. 1 20th? It seems pretty big still. Maybe it is. You don't know how big this stage is. 20 story building. No, it's just one story. Okay.

So there's three different buildings. Okay. There's an office building, there's a church, and then there's like a home. Okay. And as you're doing, as you're giving your talk, you're throwing mulch around the outside of these like model buildings. And you're talking about how like, you can't just lay the mulch at the office.

Like, yeah, you have to do that. Now we're talking. You gotta lay the mulch at home because that's what the kids see. Right. And guess what? You gotta lay the mulch at church too. Yeah, absolutely.

You're serving on Father's Day. Yeah. And then you get some kind of special effects where plants like throughout the- Start sprouting. Throughout the presentation, yeah. too. You serve it on Father's Day. And then you get some kind of special effects where plants start sprouting throughout the presentation. And there might be some weeds sprouting up at work. I don't think it goes that well at first.

I think you show how it's not done. You don't have time to water the mulch at home. People out there are like, do they think that mulch is dirt? No, we don't. I know what mulch does. It's in line with planting seeds.

Just trust us, okay? Just in the regards of outer beauty. Yeah. Anyway. Could be good. And then look under your chairs. Every single chair has a shirt that says, lay the mulch.

It's just a bag of mulch. Look under your chairs. I wonder why I tried to move my chair there. It's really heavy. Anyway. Lay the mulch, fathers out there. I don't know why. I just have thought about it for a while now. Lay the mulch and grill the meat is what I'd say.

That's what you need to do if you're a family at home. Yeehaw, brother. Yeehaw. Yeehaw. Yeah. Good Ranchers is back sponsoring us once again. It's wild. And also, they got a little something extra to say

well, okay. First I met some, uh, kind of an older friend of, uh, not that old of a friend, whatever, uh,

former ghosty kind of, she admitted that to me. She's like, I used to listen every day for like three years and I haven't listened in a while. I was like, that's all right. It,

you can go at a rhythm with podcasts. I understand. Yeah, it's all right. We'll get you back. Uh, but her name is Blake. She was at the San Francisco show.

Lively, uh, lively gal. Yeah. Yeah. Pretty lively. Yeah, it's all right. We'll get you back. But her name is Blake. She was at the San Francisco show. Lively. Lively gal. Yeah. Yeah. Pretty lively. Yeah. And she was, I was like, I forget how the conversation went basically, but I learned that she Ubered to the show.

I was like, oh, are you from around here? She's like, not really. It's like an hour and a half away. I was like, you took an hour and a half Uber to get here? I was like, how expensive was that? She was like, it's like $'s like it's like 400 what's like what and now you have to do it you have to go back it's like is there another like can i help like i can't you came and did this you should take an airplane next you're not even yeah listening to the podcast anymore it's just crazy and and so but we're chatting well 40 in california is like 50 cents to like Kansas. It's a very different exchange rate.

But then I learned something that, yeah, it does change the value a little bit. I was like, remind me what you do for a living again. And she's like, just like investing. And I was like, like for a company or just like, she's like, I just like invest. I was like, oh, wow. Like your full-time job is just like putting money in places.

She's like, yeah. Okay. And that's probably pretty normal out there and i was like i'm a 10 year old boy like wait so hold on i was like i've just never met anyone that's all you do it's just like yeah you just put your money into things like startups stocks she's like yeah whatever like a day trader you think or like uh i think like uh sit it and forget it type investor. Okay. And so I was like, I'm just so curious now. Can you tell me how is it going? You're like, what are you? Where do I need to invest? Did we hit anything big? And she was like, I will say I got in very, very early on Bitcoin.

Okay. And I was like, okay, I think I see what you're saying. So the $400 Uber was no big deal. She's like, no big deal. I was like, that's awesome. That's awesome. Good for her. That's cool.

I still don't know why she Ubered because it sounds like she probably could afford a car. Maybe she's just, hey, she's got investing to do. If I'm that rich, I would love to let somebody drive for me. Maybe not Uber, but have a private driver. Well, you could do like a Uber Black, a Privo. Maybe she did the really nice Uber. Maybe that was why it's $400 because like you can get stuff done when somebody else

drives. And I never like Catherine always lets me makes me whatever I'm always driving. Yeah. Which is fine. I enjoy it. But man, every once in a while when she drives, I'm like, I just got a lot done in the car. Yeah, truly. So if So if it's an hour and a half drive, and if she's like, well, I could either drive myself or I could invest money that makes me a million dollars, I'll choose that. Time's money. So that was pretty fun.

Wow. Shout out to Blake. Yeah, shout out Blake. There were just so many amazing ghosties at every show. Everyone was just so cool and just so normal, and it was awesome. So just know everyone I met, I really appreciate you. You were cool.

There were some okay crowd work moments. There were some shows where I was like, man, I did not do that good of a job with crowd work. Oh, really? I'm sure to other people watching it there, they don't know the difference. They don't know what it's like show to show. But there were just some where it's like, man, they didn't give me very good answers. I couldn't think of anything that funny. That was one show specifically.

But there were a couple others where I really got the people tickled a little bit when you can i ask about the times you didn't get them tickled yeah i'll see if i how well i can remember when you well just in general like if it's not going well or if you don't get a good answer from somebody you can't think of something creative do you still try to make a joke off of that answer or do you just ask a second question i just keep asking until like all right it's something kind of funny here. Okay. Yeah, it was just like, they would,

everyone I met, you know, maybe the couples, hey, how'd you guys meet? They met in just like very normal ways. Great, you know, what are your jobs? Like just very normal job. There's nothing ridiculous about it. They weren't answering the questions weird.

They were just like, this is a great conversation, but I'm trying to make it funny. So this is tough. That's a funny thing to say. Did you say that? Yeah, if I'm not making it funny, then I will just address it. Like this has been really wholesome. Um, but I was supposed to be up here telling jokes. So I'm going to get back to the jokes now or something like that. But, um, how do you pick

out the people to like, do you, do you just point to somebody and say you, sir, or do you say anybody here X, Y, Z, or how do you do it? I only really, yeah, I mean, there's not much to it. I mean, at the very beginning, I would say, I make some jokes about how many moms are in the audience. I'm like, all right, we have a mom in the front row, and then I just pick one. Okay. So.

Cool. Not a lot of thought. Yeah. There was one girl I was talking to. She was a college student. It was a San Francisco show, I think. And I asked her where she went to college. And, oh, this was kind of funny,

because I was already giving her a hard time, because she was a literature major. And I was her where she went to college. And, oh, this was kind of funny, because I was already giving her a hard time, because she was a literature major. And I was like, oh, man, so many jobs, and they're going to pay so well. You know, those types of jokes. And then I asked her boyfriend, I was like, what do you do for a living? And he said, oil and gas. And I was like, oh, that makes sense. You know, and I was doing all these jokes.

And I was like, all right, literature major, where do you go to school at? And she said, UC Santa Cruz. And I forget how I worded it, but I was basically like, I've never seen Santa Cruz. You see LA? Or whatever like that. And the crowd laughed way more than they should have probably.

I was like, it's probably a really basic joke if you're in California. But to me, I thought it was kind of clever. Sure. Anyway, they liked it. So yeah, it was general. You see Santa Barbara? You seen that? Yeah.

That's not bad. Yeah, it's pretty. You see Berkeley? Oh, yeah. Not what you expect. Yeah, it's a little rougher. Right seen that? Yeah. Yeah, it's pretty. You see Berkeley? Oh, yeah. Not what you expect. Yeah, it's a little rougher. Right. That's fun. And then the last show, there were some good crowd work moments. I'm trying to remember, like, I asked

a woman, well, first asked her where she was from, and she said East County. And I just got done talking about how I live in Kansas. I was like, yeah, I'm pretty familiar with the area, so I was hoping you'd just tell me the county. Yeah, that's good. Hey, everybody in the front row, tell me your zip code. That's probably the best way for me to know where you're from.

Yeah, what are the cross streets that you guys are living on? Yeah. Yeah, that's funny. You know? What elementary school did you go to? School district. What does that fall into? Like what public high school?

Yeah. And so I'm already giving this woman a hard time. And I was like, where's your husband at tonight? And she was like, at the desert. And I was like, well, that's an interesting way to say that. At the desert. I was like, like, um, you know, like Palm Springs or like Sahara, like, is he okay? Does he need to be rescued? Is he stranded? What's happening? And then she's like, I'm on, or no, he on vacation. And that's what I really, instead of just doing these like little, like one-liner, like what I really, instead of just doing these little one-liner quip things, then I just kind of started walking the stage

and just really started riffing. Like, oh, it must be nice. The people in San Diego, you have it so good here. You vacation in the desert. I was like, you know where people, where I'm from vacation? San Diego. Right.

They don't go to the desert. You get excited about, yeah, desolate, lack of water. Oh, snakes. Oh, I can't wait to get eaten by one of those praying mantises. The spiders are huge. Oh, man, you could get bit by a

scorpion in your sleeve. It'd be awesome. Don't touch anything. Yeah. It's all poisonous. That sounds so fun. And so much shade out there. Bring a couple gallons of extra water. If your car breaks down, you will be in trouble. You are done.

No cell service out there? Oh, just get away from it all and die. Oh, the land that, yeah, the government gave to Native Americans for free. Oh, just bask in it. Right. Go out there. So yeah, that was kind of fun. It was a good moment.

That's great. At the desert is funny. It was just really funny. The phrase, at the desert. Because you'd be in the desert, right? That's what I would have said it. Where's your husband? He's in the desert.

At the desert? But at the desert made it seem like the desert was like a hotel, right? I know that's, I thought you were going to like look stupid and they're going to be like, it's a really popular food place. And he's getting a business dinner with somebody. And instead at the, that's like, Hey, I can't meet until two 30 tomorrow. I have an appointment in the dentist. It's like, like he's in he's yeah, he's drilling. So at the desert, that's great. Yeah. Uh, one thing I forgot with this, I wrote this down in San Francisco. So the area of San Francisco we were in was actually pretty nice. Um, cause I feel like San Francisco

has such a bad rap. Like it's becoming the new Portland. Your car is going to get broken into, like it's pretty rough, but we are in a pretty nice area, except there was one strange thing. I went into this kind of corner convenience store and just to grab like a Gatorade. And I'm waiting in line for a long time. There's no one like in there. I don't know where it's happening. Another guy's like, have you seen anyone? I'm like, I don't know what's going on. It's waiting like four or five minutes. Eventually a guy comes running in and like apologizing. Oh sorry sorry sorry and he's holding a cat and so i think that's a gas station cat like a corner store yeah it just got out and he just like went searching for it i gotta get my cat yeah it's just so funny forget the profits

yeah this guy sorry i need my tabby yeah the cat had gotten out and so he was just the only employee so they were just we're not in business until they got the cat back like this feels very california very california very weird of you oh i thought you were going to say like there was no workers and you just had to scan it and get out of there yourself more things are becoming uh self checkout which i love almost every airport has self-checkout kiosks really like it yeah real quick and so but it wasn't that it was no he just it was either that or the guy just lost his cat

and it was the second option. One of those two. Yeah, that was kind of a fun thing. Like this is not happening in Kansas City to me. Kind of fun. You just cat got out. Yeah. Let's see. Some people say cats got out of the bag. Cat got out of the seesaw. Cat got out of the corner store.

So Palm Springs, we need to talk about this night. Okay. Really fun. Palm Springs is the desert. Yes. At the desert? I was at the desert.

Yeah. Yeah. Technically we were in Rancho Mirage. Rancho Mirage. Rancho Mirage. Yeah. But it felt like no one was even, like no one really lives in Rancho Mirage. Palm Springs even seems like kind of a destination.

So I haven't addressed that on stage because normally normally I would say like Sacramento, how we doing? But then I was like, California, how we doing? Yeah. It's like, I said the state, cause I don't know where I am. Like, what is this place? Is this the casino? Yep. Resort casino.

So fun. My room that night was nicer than our room in the Bahamas. It was awesome. Corner view. Nice. Huge golf course. They had a golf course that they kind of partnered with, but it was like 15 minutes away.

It wasn't for free. Sure. Uber there for $400. Yeah, no thanks. The day of at casinos is so much more fun because there's a pool there. There's a casino there. There's so much to do.

And you're already there. We're here. The shows themselves are never quite as fun because the casino will hold a certain amount of tickets that they want to give to people your diehard fans aren't really there as much it's just people like well I was gambling there's a show tonight yeah I'll go check it out yeah high rollers it's like yeah here's a bonus for you so they don't know us the shows are never as loud which is fine but it was it was still such a fun day. Good vibe. One thing that happened during the day, kind of fun announcement. You've got

kind of the integrated thing with you and Severance coming out soon. I have something coming out. Maybe it's already out by the time this comes out, so this is maybe old news. Whatever. I've been wanting to do this for a couple years now. I'm finally doing it. Doing a Pickleball brand channel. Me, Scott, and Isaac. How fun is that? Check it out. Friday Pickleball. Is that what you're calling it? Friday Pickle'm doing a Pickleball brand channel. Me, Scott, and Isaac. How fun is that?

Boom, baby. Check it out. Friday Pickleball. Anyway, we went on. Is that what you're calling it? Friday Pickleball? Friday Pickleball. Okay.

It's fun. I think we can post on Fridays. I figured, yeah. And also, it's just like, everyone loves Fridays. Love Fridays. Oh, yeah. Friday Pickleball. Cool.

I really wanted to have good word of mouth. Because like Ghostrunners, it's like, had we known, we would have chose a different name probably. Jean Shorts even, like, it's a good name, but there's a little bit of like, Jean? Jean Shorts? Blue Jeans? Like Blue Jean.

You know, there's a little bit of convincing. It was like, everyone knows the word Friday. There's no follow-up question. Oh, I can look up Friday Pickleball. Cool. Especially because I think it's going to be a little bit bigger with the older audience, the Facebook audience. Sure.

They need to be able to look this up very easily. Friday Pickleball. Anyway, we don't need to talk about it anymore. But Isaac and I went out and shot like five videos in like an hour and a half. Very efficient. Very fun. How did Isaac do? Oh, he did great.

Yeah. We did one video like young players versus old players. And Isaac was the old guy. And he did a great job. Put a bunch of sunscreen on his nose. And he had just like, yeah, ridiculous outfit, long tube socks. And he did a great job. Cool. That'll be ridiculous outfit, long tube socks. Yeah. He did a great job.

Cool. That'll be fun. Friday pickleball. Yeah. You're going to come out with on Friday. I think it might've already come out. We'll see.

Yeah. But either way, now you guys know again. So did that during the day we're having so much fun. It seems like anything I try to gamble at, I am just making money.

It was so easy. Yeah. Just sit down. That's how it works. Yeah. That's guys. They give it away. They literally give it works. Guys, they give it away. They literally give it away. They don't want it.

With inflation how it is, it makes more sense to not have it. Exactly. In California, $50 to them is like negative $5 to us. I made a little money playing Blackjack and after a while I was like, all right, this can't continue any longer, so I should leave the table. It's kind of like even now. Oh, good for you.

But I was like, well, I still have like five more hours until the show go to slot machine, $200 jackpot. I hit almost right away. What? That was pretty fun. Well, and then I get out of, I cash out there. Like, well, if I just hit the jackpot, I thought I'd do that again. Go to different slot machine, $112 jackpot. I was like texting Rachel. Like this is a minute. You got to get here. Yeah. Fly to Palm Springs. They are giving it away. Yeah yeah this is crazy you can uber if you want yeah i don't cover it so it's just really fun yeah it's just a great day we're all having fun trey sends out a text he's like hey got us a table at the resort uh steakhouse tonight after the show on me nice like oh we're buzzing we can't wait we get done with the show we all go to the steakhouse it's's so expensive. It's so, so amazing. Trey pays for

all of it. So generous. I just remembered, Mikel orders like a lobster bisque, a little like starter. And it comes up in like in a bowl first with like the lobster laid out first. And then this like waiter comes out and starts pouring kind of the soup gravy, whatever you want to call it. And Mikel is just freaking out about how good it looks. Yo. Yo, go crazy. Oh, my man. Yo, no, that's a bisque.

Get my name first. My man going crazy. Let's get it. Let's get it. Let's bisque it. He's so funny. But yeah, just hooping and hollering. It's a nice steak restaurant.

Oh, go crazy. Right. Try not like, not even acting like cool. This is so fun. That's awesome. I love it. So we do that.

And then the plane is like, Hey, after this amazing dinner, we're all going to the blackjack table. That's like, sweet. This is going to be so fun. We're having the best day.

Go to this table. And there is a, there's three empty spots. And I go to try to sit at first base, blackjack players will know, and this guy, older guy, just I go to sit down and he just kind of,

he grunts at me and sticks his arm. He's like, and I see, oh, he's playing two hands. So he was playing there. It's like, oh, sorry, I didn't see that.

So it looked like it was open, but it wasn't. Yeah. I was like, oh, wow. I was like, quite the first impression. I even said, oh, sorry, I didn't see that. So it looked like it was open, but it wasn't. Yeah. I was like, oh, wow. I was like, quite the first impression. I even said that to him. Because it was just immediately kind of...

No even words. Yeah, yeah, no words. It was just... I was like, oh, my gosh. Which I feel like most casinos, if people are waiting, then they're like, all right, you can't play two hands anymore. But there's no seat open. I sit in the middle, kind of between him and Trey.

And he ends up being kind of a nicer guy. He tells us that he was at the show earlier. Like, oh, well, that's kind seat open. I sit in the middle, kind of between him and Trey. And he ends up being kind of a nicer guy. He tells us that he was at the show earlier. Like, oh, well, that's kind of fun. I laughed. That was funny. He was like, yeah, I really liked it. I took my daughter that I adopted. I adopted her when she was 17.

Gorgeous. Gorgeous girl. Almost giving a little bit of like Trumpy vibes. Okay. Just like beautiful woman. Yeah. Beautiful. You should see her.

Isn't she gorgeous? Yeah. Isn't she amazing? Like I have the most beautiful adopted daughter. Yeah. And I was getting a little like, all right. Right. That's fine.

That's cool. And he's like, she was a big fan. She wanted to go. We're like, cool. Started playing blackjack. And then some girls kind of walk up behind him a little bit. And they're just chatting. They kind of are talking to us.

They're at the show. Okay, fun, whatever. Trey and I are pretty locked in. Trey and I really bonded. This was fun. We learned that we both know how to count cards. And so we were like, hey, let's get it. Let's get it tonight.

And so we were counting and we were winning. And it was really fun. No one had kicked us out yet. It was great. And so we were counting and we were winning and it was really fun. No one had kicked us out yet. Yeah. It was great. And so we're pretty dialed in, but these girls are just kind of talking and talking to us and kind of talking over this guy. One of them uses a bad word.

Just okay. This happens in the real world. This happens at a casino. Just says a cuss word. And he whips around. He goes, hey, language. And so I was like, oh, wow. That's, you know.

Okay. I was like, maybe one of them is his like daughter or something. I don't goes, hey, language. And so I was like, oh, wow. That's, you know. Okay. I was like, maybe one of them is his daughter or something. I don't know. Oh, yeah. Because they kind of came up behind him. Adopted at 17, but not necessarily is 17 now. Yeah, he said at 17. I don't know how old she is. That's a fair thought.

So I was like, one of them is probably his daughter or whatever. And then we're all still kind of talking more. It's in between shoes. We're sitting back relaxing. And then he calls. kind of talking more. It's in between shoes. We're sitting back relaxing. And then he calls. He goes, security, can you get these? And it says a derogatory word about them. Can you get these bleeps away from here?

And we're like. So he didn't like language, but then he used language. Oh, my gosh. We're like, okay, this just got escalated. Like, what is happening? The girls are like uh yeah we will move away from him now like we don't want to be around was he losing uh no not necessarily it wasn't like an angry like i feel like the world is crashing down like like you get so frustrated

like this one person gets on your table and you're mad about it like yeah and he was high roller luck charm yeah i think he was getting special treatment because now i mean isaac would love to play alan would love to play there's a crew of us all watching this blackjack game and he's still playing two hands and they're still letting him because he's betting like 500 bucks a hand of blackjack right and it's the $15 dollar table it's the cheapest table there it's dude why you go to like a high roller

right area people do that all the time I don't know why it's like all of us poor people would love to play $15 a hand I'm doing the table minimum every time my friend just got really excited about a lobster bisque. But they're still laying a plate to hand. Security's kind of taking his side and like, all right, girls, let's just... He explained to me that you were kind of being derogatory. And so we're kind of like, that's not really how it went, but this guy had been really nice to us.

He asked us for an autograph. So it's like, I don't know where, how do we do, how do we navigate this? Uh, sorry, I need to speed the story up. Basically then, um, another girl comes up, a friend of theirs, and I didn't even know she was behind me. I'm locked in the counts plus four. Let's up the bet. You know, I'm, I'm, I'm blackjack and I didn't even know this girl's behind me. And then I hear old man kind of talking what sounds like to me almost. And he's like, I thought it sounded like he said, what escort service do you work for? And I'm like, maybe I didn't hear my turn around. Oh, there's someone behind me. Okay.

And she goes, what? And then he says it. It says it again. I said, what escort service do you work for? And the girl was like, oh my gosh, I do not. I am not an escort. And he's like, well, you're dressed like one and then right then is when i was like yo dude you gotta like chill out like what's going on what are you doing i've

never just like irrationally like yeah bitter or very aggressive yeah and then it is really cool michael like stepped in and was like hey hey sir it was still being really respectful sir sir can i get your attention he's like hey old timer and then he turned around and he was like, hey, you are old enough where you should know how to treat women. You don't raise your voice at women. You don't talk to them disrespectfully like that. You should be ashamed that you conduct yourself this way. You should know better. I was like, dang, go get them, Michael. It was really cool. And then the old man is like, well, I'm older than them. They should respect me. Andael's like that's what i'm saying you should you're old you should know better you should know how to treat other people wow and it was just like it was so tense i was actually

winning but i was like i don't want to be here anymore i don't want to be it's not worth it he's right my jackpot he's like spitting on me uh you know not like spitting at me but just like when he's talking. His spittle. But yeah, once he said the escort service thing, we're like, security, can you just come and hear our side of the story? Like, can we get this guy out of here? And they're like, sir, what happened? You called this woman a prostitute?

He's like, she was gawking at me. I was like, gawking? Such an old man word. I was like, I guarantee you she wasn't like gawking over you. Gawking. I think they're big Trey Kennedy fans, and that's why they're at this table watching us play blackjack. And so anyway, we do get him kicked out.

At this point, though, it's getting so tense. Kicked out of the entire casino? Yeah, yeah. Wow. It's getting so tense where I don't even color up. I just have all these chips. I just grab them, and I'm taking them. I dropped them.

I'm like, oh, gosh, oh, gosh. And I just get away from the situation. I'm like, this is too intense. This is stupid. I'm having such a fun night. And so I over kind of by the girls like hey i'm so sorry we're trying to get him removed you know really that's unacceptable and as he is getting escorted out he walks by me and the girls and he just hisses at us which i've never give me oh wow how old is this like give me a number. Like 80. Okay. But still like...

Walking all right? Yeah, walking and talking fine. Because he's from California. He's healthier. It all comes back to that. But dude, it was just crazy. It was just so tense. It's so just like confrontational. Yeah, he hissed at the girls and it was just so weird. And so... So what? Okay, go ahead. The night goes on. We end up like just, all right, well, we got over that. Oh, we did get back to the table and some of the girls are playing

blackjack with this. And, uh, we're like, we're so sorry about that. Isaac's like, yeah, Trey's grandpa's the worst. That really split the room. Everyone was just dying laughing. Um, good job. Sorry about Trey's grandpa he sucks yeah he's off his medicine so we go finish up the night late night really fun

the next morning I wake up and I go down to the coffee shop I go down there and those three girls were there the first people I see so it's like oh

wow sorry you know last night was crazy whatever they buy me a coffee really nice I go elevator back up to the room the person I person in the

elevator with is a woman probably in her mid-30s and she goes uh man sorry about last night and i was like oh what do you mean and she was like oh just like with my uh kind of mentor father figure getting in the middle of all that i was like this is the adopted daughter no way no way i'm just sharing an elevator with her. So apparently she had been kind of around. I just didn't, amidst the chaos, I didn't know who she was. Yeah. I gotta keep the count.

It was a lot going on. And I guess she was there for a little bit of it. And she was like, yeah, that was so embarrassing. What did she explain? And so I was like, I don't know which side she's on totally. And so I was like, yeah, what happened exactly? Trying to get like, you tell me. And she was like, well, I mean exactly? Trying to get like, you tell me. And she was like,

well, I mean, these girls were like harassing him. And I was like, oh my gosh, she's taking his side. Wow. She doesn't know.

Yeah. And so I was like, oh, is that, is that what happened? And I was like, so he got kicked out. And I was like,

does that kind of stuff happen to him very often? She's like, no, never. So I don't know. Weird, dude. I know.

I just really thought this guy, he gambles every night. Was he drunk? He's an old curmudgeon. He wasn't drinking anything when I was there. Yeah, he didn't. It wasn't like obvious. No, no, no.

It was just like an old-fashioned old guy. Weird. Who just didn't like young women for some reason. If anything, you'd be worried about him hitting on him and being inappropriate. I was going to say, that's the most old-fashioned old guy. Yeah.

Yeah. Just like, hey, pretty girl old-fashioned old guy. Yeah. Yeah. Just like hey pretty girl and he was white. They were white. It wasn't like there was any like old-fashioned type of stuff going on there. It was just like dude, what's your deal? They're being cool. Everyone's cool. We're all winning. It's just be cool man. Yeah, dude, like we'll tell you the count

when I have my bet you up your bet, right? But yeah, it was fun when I did see the guys like an hour later I was like hey the only people I've talked to today have been the three girls and then the adopted daughter it's crazy

the night still continues like what are the chances of that happening yeah sorry kind of a long story but just really just like wow some drama

He was too busy making some bleeding real estate deals. Yeah, I stayed at Bleeding Home. My bleeding office. Yeah, so didn't get to see him or meet their mom.

But I met several other siblings. How many do they have? I think 800. Yeah, a few. Buffini in Italian means man of many kids. Many fruit. Many children from one wife, right? Yeah, like Antonio Cromartie situation or whatever.

No, no, no, which was also famous San Diegan. Good callback. Also, Austin Eck no, no. Which was also famous San Diegan. Good. Yeah. Callback. Also, Austin Eckler. We haven't talked about that. Not quite San Diego, but still the Chargers. There will always be San Diego to me.

Yeah. You know what I mean? People still calling that on TV, like announcers say San Diego Chargers. Yeah. Oakland Raiders. It's hard to have it. Yeah. Anyway, so there was Anna was there.

Alex was there. Adam was there. Alicia was there adam was there alicia was there and amy so five siblings i was waiting for you to just like like they're all starting with a's i would love alicia was there and kurt was there and brendan the black sheep of the family yeah and bart was there he was an accident. Yeah, whatever. But they had a crew of like 10. So it was like they had a cousin there. They had a sister-in-law there. They

had this whole crew of 10 of them. So me and Isaac went and ran around with them after the show and they're great. Even just the introduction. Like, all right, right off the bat, before we just go around and do names, anyone who's brown is a Buffini. So you can know that going into it. I was like, okay, that's helpful. And they're like, this is so-and-so.

And we had so much fun with them. We went and got tacos. We went to a barcade. They took care of everything for us. They were so great. They had a driver. I got to put my luggage. See, that's what I'm saying.

Having a driver is awesome. It's awesome, yeah. Having a driver for, what kind of car were you in? They had like a big old sprinter van. That's what I'm saying. Having a driver is awesome. Having a driver for... What kind of car were you in? They had a big old sprinter van. Cool. Threw my luggage in there. They covered everything. They bought us food. They bought drinks.

They had $50 worth of quarters and they were like, go crazy. This is so fun. What kind of games were you barcading? We did a lot of just the sporty ones. Yeah. You know, her mom was like an Olympian. Anna's going to the Olympics.

Right. You're not going to not do the sporty ones with the Buffini family. What do you mean by sporty? Pop a shot. Okay. Like physically. Ski ball. Not like NBA jams.

Yeah. NFL blitz. Yeah. Yeah. Things that require a little bit of coordination. The like baseball kind of toss one. We got to get the clowns down. Do you do the Homer homer simpson soccer

one no you know that one yeah it's all right i know it's not as fun as you want it to be yeah you boot it with your foot and it like hits the side of the wall and it's not even close yeah it's a very short distance to kick it too very short like this is a very easy with a simpsons theme it's like okay yeah we had so much fun they were just so so generous that they were just always just i don't know. They were great. They're driving us around. They took us to our hotel.

They brought us homemade apple pie. They had a Chick-fil-A sandwich for, you know, they're just doing all this stuff. Come to find out at the end of all this, it was Anna's birthday the whole time. Just, they're just the best people. I want to be a Buffini. Wow. Okay. They're great.

Yeah. That sounds awesome. I'm jealous. Yeah. Wow. Then. They're great. Yeah. That sounds awesome. I'm jealous. Yeah. Wow. Then they didn't tell you the whole time until the end. Like, oh yeah, by the way, it's Anna's birthday. You know, maybe I could have put the pieces together because I saw she had a little like

tiara look at thing attached to her purse. And in my head, I was thinking, I wonder what that's for. That's just like a San Diego thing. You know, I don't know. I don't know. Top gun and tiaras on the purses. I don't know what that's for. And so, yeah, they're just the most generous, fun people.

I think Anna's going to be able to make it to the August weekend. Fun. What about Alicia? Andrea? Andy? Amy. Amy. They didn't seem like they were as big of podcast listeners.

Alexander? But I think we can get them to come. Asher? Asher. Asher Buffini? There's some out there we don get him to come. Asher? Asher. Asher Buffini? There's some out there we don't even know about. There is. I forget.

The oldest brother is the last one I haven't met yet. Antoine. Antoine. I don't know his name. Yeah, Antony. Antony. But I bet we can get him. Okay.

That'd be awesome. Come to bleed in Kansas City. Hang out with us. Yeah, man. Yeah. We're so close to getting the final details guys tomorrow i have a tour with somebody that's hopefully going to find some yeah some finalizations there some details so a tour what does it mean three hour tour we're going on a boat that's awesome. Um,

all right. I had a long episode. Oh, sorry. No, it's, I, I had something about what you said, but I can't remember it.

So, uh, how's Isaac doing? I just always want to, I just always care about Isaac. Oh, good. Yeah.

He's, uh, yeah, honestly, he's doing his job very well. The merch company that we are partnered with, it drops the ball every single weekend on something. They,

they screw something up once a weekend, like just sending the wrong quantities or like, yep. They, they screw something up once a weekend, like just sending the wrong quantities or like, yep. Or sometimes don't send them anything at all. When he got to Birmingham, they just hadn't sent him anything. Right. Uh,

this time it was going to be kind of a logistical, uh, quite the conundrum because we're driving some places. We're flying some places. It's not like we can just load up the bus with the extra merch. So Isaac had to divvy up. All right, this is going to be my San Diego box.

This is going to be my Sacramento box. And then you'd ship it away, wrote it on the box and it got shipped to the extra merch. So Isaac had to divvy up. All right, this is going to be my San Diego box. This is going to be my Sacramento box. And then you ship it away, wrote it on the box and it got shipped to the wrong city. So we had like no merch to sell on Palm Springs, but it's like, it wasn't his fault. Like he's interesting. Yeah, but it's all good. I think he's doing a really good job. He's selling a lot more than Trey used to. Good. That's great. That's fun. Good job. Ike I miss he texted me. When'd you leave? You guys left on Wednesday? Wednesday. It was either Wednesday or Thursday, just late at night. It was just like, missing you, man, thinking of you.

Cool. And I thought it was going to be like a picture or something of some ghosties or whatever, like some kind of context that it was just that. And I was like, that's sweet. Cool. What a sweet guy. And he did text me. He said there was some drama at the casino.

He was like, I'm not going to tell you what happened because Jake's going to tell you. But he said he made a lot of money as well. It sounds like everyone had a good time. It was a great night. Yeah. It was really fun. Yeah. Wild times.

I was just killing it. Good, man. That's great. Let's do some reviews, yeah? Yeah, yeah, yeah. Yeah, yeah, yeah. My review of the week is coming from Vanilla Rice Baby. It's a bring your best is the title of it.

It's five stars. And it says, Jake and Brad, love the podcast. I know you get this a lot, but it's so refreshing to have this much positivity to listen to. Okay. There's a ton of negativity out there. And you guys always lift me up when I need it. I'm going back and listening to every episode so far. I'm on episode 45.

Never met either of you guys, but feel like we're best friends. My wife and I have been looking for a reason to get away somewhere, so we're coming to Kansas City in August. Let's go. August 18th and 19th. Yeehaw. Come on.

We have no idea what's happening, but we're coming. I love that. That's amazing how many people are already saying stuff like that. And so many people having to take off work and like, oh, what are you doing? Like, I don't know yet.

TBD. Just go to Kansas City. Really hoping some golfing is involved, they said. Okay. Maybe on your own time. One question I have for you guys. Who's the most underrated office character?

Mine is Robert California. Brad, I know you don't like the latest seasons, but James Spader's hilarious and makes everyone uncomfortable. He's the lizard king. Love you guys. God bless.

Now it's Nate. Nate? Nate's Nate. Nate. Nate's awesome. Well, that's a hard question to answer because you have to like first establish who are the rated. How are they rated? How do you define underrated? Like is Creed underrated? I feel like Creed's loved by a lot of people, but he's not like a main character. Yeah. Fair point. Or like Kevin. Is Kevin... I don't know. I think maybe it's like somebody that's not in the original cast.

Yeah, it's got to be something like an oddball. Like Bob Vance or something like that. Hmm. Dang. Let me think about that while you read your review. What's his name? The guy who ends up at the... I want my baby back, baby back, baby back.

I want my baby back. Oh, Tim Meadows. I knew it was Tim something. Christian, I think is his name. Sure. Yeah. Underrated. You slit your wrists.

You said. I said, this is my blood. It's red, just like yours. That is a classic episode. That's a good one. Yeah. There's some, I mean, D'Angelo Vickers, obviously, like, I think Will Ferrell's character was so funny.

For the few episodes he's on there, it's pretty great. Pam's sister, who's obsessed with Dwight, pretty underrated character maybe. No, that's not her sister. It's not? Isabel? Yeah. No, I think that's Bridesmaid.

Really? Pam's sister's the one who thinks that Kevin is Gil. Oh. Like meets Oscar and meets Kevin, and he's like, you must be Gil. And Oscar's really offended. Let me think about it. You go do your thing.

We have a review, I think from Knack Baxter. The username is Nick Baxter. No vowels, so I don't know. It says, enjoy the married life, Jake. You're starting an amazing new chapter in your life with Rachel. Take your time and make memories. Sleep in. Don't wake up when Brad's at the door. No. The next few years will fly by.

Brad, the static co-episode had me laughing so hard I had to go outside. That's a funny idea. I gotta get some fresh air. I gotta run around the yard a little bit. Oh, I gotta get some fresh air. I gotta feel some ragweed pollen. That's hilarious. He said, S'mores with the Boys was hilarious.

Also, Catherine was an amazing co-host. Better than a lot of full-time podcasters I listen to. Thanks again, guys. Always look forward to the next episode. And I respect the Chiefs, but go Bills. What a great review. I respect the Bills.

And go Chiefs. I thought Knack Baxter was like a Browns or a Bengals guy. So maybe this is some other... What if we start having impersonators of our fans? Of our fans of our fans now we'd be talking like there's a review from time and time

it's like I didn't do that like well it says you did it says time and M Sean here dude that's funny great review thanks for the kind words that Santa quote episode

was good I've been listening to it wasn't it fun they're hilarious it kind of like until somebody mentioned it the other day, it didn't really resonate with me

that that was literally the first episode we've ever done, those two, the first episodes we've ever done without both of us. I know that sounds silly to think,

but I'm like, sure there's been, because there's been a few times where we've like, done like best of episodes where we didn't record that week or something. So it's like,

no, it wasn't. Oh yeah, I guess you're right. Like, oh, that's kind of crazy. So your yeehaw was in the episode. I did hear it. I did hear it that week or something. So it's like, oh, yeah, I guess you're right. Like, oh, that's kind of crazy. So your yeehaw was in the episode. I did hear it. I did hear it. It was fun. Anyway, I can't think of another,

the right answer for The Office character. I want to think of something great, but I just can't. Think of it while you do the jingle. Okay. Of a song that I don't know very well. Let's try it out. This one is written.

Let me see if I can. Let me just, I don't know. Just, what's the word? Vent on Google Gmail search. It's the worst. It's not as good as it could be. So this jingle is called Sunflower. It's Post Malone.

And if I look up sunflower, which is literally the subject of the email, it should be the first thing that comes up. It was a recent email too. And it is nowhere in the first. I don't even know. I'm not even finding it in the first, in the first page.

But then if I look up sunflower, if I look up the person's name, which is Erica key. Oh, first thing that comes up, Erica Key. And then the title of the subject, Sunflower. If you're going to be owned by Google, you got to have a very good search engine. Great point. It should literally be the best. That's ridiculous. You're typing the word in the subject. And it's not even on there. It's not even on. And of course, like Kansas is Sunflower State. So I'm sure there's lots of sunflower-y things going on. Sunflower gas service.

But like, my gosh, you need to be on the first, if it's literally that thing. And I've clicked on the email now five times. Yeah, it knows this is popular. It needs to recognize like, hey, that's probably the thing you want. So let me vent on that. But Erica Key, thanks for writing this jingle.

Let me think of my favorite office character while I do this. Underrated office character. Best of luck. Maybe Madge? That's pretty good. I don't know. Todd Packer.

He's an original. Oh, you got the cool reverb. Cool, cool, cool. Hey! Say needless to say, we're Bradley and Jake. Keeping it real, no time to be fake. Talking on the pod every Monday morning. Talking on the pod every Wednesday morning. Talking on the pod every Wednesday morn

I was looking through the comments of today's, last Monday's episode and YouTube has switched. Now instead of telling us their names, it tells us their username. Yeah, it's been

doing that for like a week now. I just started noticing. I don't know any of these people anymore. I don't know if it's doing that. Is it doing that everywhere? I haven't looked on like a Gene Shorts video or something, but yeah, it's definitely doing that on the Ghost Runners, which is weird. Who knows, man? I mean, that's owned by Google too.
