Hit them with that classic Christmas song, Sweet Child of Mine. Should we try the guitar solo? Like... She's got a smile that it seems to me Reminds me of childhood memories Where everything was as fresh as the bright blue sky Now and then when I see her face

She takes me away to that special place. And if I stare too long, I'll probably break down and cry. Like Pinocchio. Whoa, sweet child of mine. Whoa, sweet love of mine. Merry Christmas! He's risen! Uh-oh, ooh, I think this tight beat means that it's going down

truly it's something for everyone's got a cake in the oven right now yeah dude when i was real little those cookie shows uh i think like zoom do you watch zoom it wasn't a cookie show it's like a kid show but okay no they would do cooking and I was not smart enough to understand. Like, okay, they just put it in the oven. Yeah, what kind of high-powered oven is that? Yeah. Okay, that's some Willy Wonka stuff going on here. I don't understand this.

That's some Willy Wonky stuff going on. That's too Willy, too Wonky for me. That's super Wonky. I mean, that's like Willy Wonky. It's a bit Wonky. Yeah. Bit Wonky, yeah. Oh, yeah?

It's Wednesday. Anyway, yeah, that's like really wonky. It's a bit wonky. Yeah. They won't. Yeah. Oh yeah. Uh, it's Wednesday. Anyway. Yeah. It's Wednesday. Um, got any wins of the week branch. We start off there. Sure. Yeah, absolutely. Time to be thinking of one. Okay. It's not your pink eye. I'll just say that right now. Um, uh, yeah, I, I mean, a lot of these things are just positive things in my life, but I'll, I'll do one of them for my one of the week. It is, uh, just a great Sunday. We had a great Sunday in general. Um, I was in, it's, it's kind of telling how good of a mood I was in simply because we were like early for church. Like I was in such an energized mood. Like we usually try to leave for church at nine, leave at nine 15 to get there right on.27. Don't get to our seats until 9.40 when the service starts at 9.30. That's normal. That's fine. I've accepted it. We left

at nine o'clock, brother. We took the shuttle, brother. We parked in satellite parking lot, took the shuttle and still got there three minutes early to our seats. Wow. We saw the first song the choir sang. I don't know if I've ever done that before. And I was so, I had so much energy that whole morning. I thought at church, they just started songs halfway through. I didn't know there was a beginning to these songs. It was amazing, like leading worship back in the day and like how empty it was when you started a service, at least at our church that I worked at. And it was

kind of like insulting to me. That's like being an opening comedian. It's like, I wish I couldn't see you finding your seat with your phone flashlight while I'm performing. Like, I wish you weren't like, yeah, ordering a drink right now while I'm doing this. Uh, and it's one of those things where it's like, that's just the culture of it. And now I am way more sympathetic as a dad of like, okay, it's hard to get to church on time. And then once we always get to church by nine 30, but then it takes a good, uh, now nowadays Bo's potty training. So we have to have him go to potty. And then I have to drop off Rosie in this room, go downstairs to drop off Hattie, come back upstairs, find Catherine. What's Bo's, uh, how big is his tank right now?

Not big. I'll say that right now. Not big enough. A lot of times like Sunday mornings, especially I'm in charge of breakfast most of the time. Okay. So first and foremost, I mean, talk about wins of the week. I only do wins for meals like for breakfast. I'm like toast. They're good on toast. Yeah, yogurt. They all like yogurt. I'm not. I'm not trying to force scrambled eggs down there. No, because how he's like, oh, these are too white or these. I get it. Yeah, I don't like this one. Do I have to have that bite? And I'm like, don't worry about I'm giving you these and I'm walking away. Break the wrist, walk away. And so anyway, yeah. So, but when I'm in charge of breakfast on Sunday mornings,

I'm not giving Bo water. Like unless he, like, and if he does ask, I'll just give him like a sip. I'm not like, usually it's like, have as much as you want, you camel. I don't care. But Sundays, because you never know. He's so shy in Sunday school.

He might not say anything to these Sunday school workers. And all of a sudden we got a, you know, issue on our hands. So, um, anyway, so that was a win. And then we started a brand new Sunday school at church.

Uh, that's like been like the one big, big asterisk on church. Excuse me. Yeah. Uh, you know, that we have,

um, it's just a big asterisk. Okay. Like our church is amazing. It's got a bunch of great things, but it does have one big asterisk for Okay. Like our church is amazing. It's got a bunch of great things, but it does have one big asterisk for us. Okay. Um, when to hear you out here, I didn't do that on purpose. Like that was like, yeah, it's happening. It's like, you know, one of those big asterisks. Um, no, but like our church is like, we've been so happy there. We joined in October of 2020.

But the one thing was like, we just haven't found great, amazing community there yet. And I think we are starting the Sunday school with these people. And it feels like we might have some solid friends in this Sunday school. So really excited about that. And so that's been the big win. And then went from church home and all three of my kids were down in the basement with me watching the Chiefs game. And it was awesome. Patty's like really legitimately interested in football now.

So I'm like, okay, they have to get past that yellow line or else we have to kick it. You know, I don't explain punting versus field goals, but like- Sounds like you haven't taught her a nice fourth and one conversion either. She thinks you have to kick it. Yeah, true.

You're right. Hey, hands up. Nice to meet you. No, that's great though. I mean, this is probably gonna be Tyman's one of the week. So bonus one of the week, the Chiefs one. Chiefs one. Yeah, true. You're right. Hey, hands up. I submit to you. No, that's great. I mean, this is probably going to be Tyman's one of the week. So bonus one of the week, the Chiefs one. Chiefs one. Yeah, absolutely. And she knows Travis Kelsey and Patrick Mahomes.

Good. Both still thinks every player is Patrick Mahomes, but that's fine. And yeah, she's getting excited about like throwing versus running and all these different things. Well, why do they have the ball against? Well, it's because our punt returner didn't catch the ball. Dude. We were talking about that last game. Do other teams feel this way where we are terrified

every time we have to catch a punt? For four years, I felt terrified when we have to catch a punt. Yeah, it does feel like that's been a little bit of our Achilles heel. And I don't know if it's because we have Patrick at home, so we're like, don't even return it. Just get out of the way. We can start the one- yard line. Yeah, that's fine. The only bad news is you

fumble it, which happens 30% of the time. It does feel like I'm so stressed. Just don't put anyone back there. Yeah, it was a weird game. I mean, we won, but it wasn't like, oh, we're back. We're good. Yeah, which Brad, I recording this before this previous Sunday's game. So we're talking about the Jaguars game, right? But

defense, hey, only two touchdowns in eight quarters. I know. Not bad. And Chris Jones looked like a menace. Every play he was in, he disrupted the quarterback. Amazing. I was like, maybe we, I like this thing where he's only in every like, only on third downs.

It works. He's fresh every time. Is that what he was doing? Yeah, basically just third downs. Well, you know what? Like he didn't obviously do training camp and all that stuff. And Derek Thomas, who's like the legendary Chiefs linebacker

that got killed in a car accident, had like six sacks in one game one time or something. He was notorious for never practicing. And people are like, this guy doesn't practice. This guy just, he's at practice, but he's not doing anything. And they're like, he'll be fine. Oh, he'll be fine. His legs are fine.

Certain guys are just absolute animals. Yeah. And Chris Jones said, he's like, yeah, I wasn't working out with legs are fine. Certain guys are just absolute animals. Yeah. And Chris Jones said he's like, yeah, I wasn't working out with the team, but I was working on my own. He's like, the main thing I missed out on was camaraderie with the guys. Okay. Yeah. Anyway, my one of the week, similar to yours a little bit, I feel like it deals with morning time.

Basically, Rachel and I, for three months in marriage, we finally found a little bit of a morning routine for ourselves, which we're really enjoying. And I think it helps with Rachel now working at a school. She's got more of a rhythm. Right. Rachel wakes up herself at like 6.30 or so. Morning, bub.

Hey, bubs. And she'll get ready for the day, do what she needs to do. Okay. Comes back to bed, wakes me up at 7. Morning, bubs. Hey, buster. When she's ready, then we go out to the living room.

Maybe we're doing a little reading. Okay. Maybe we're doing a little coffee. Okay. Maybe we're doing a little toast. Okay. Have I talked to the potty house how much I love toast? Rachel's like, I'll make you toast whenever. That's so nice. She's like, it's literally the easiest thing in the world to make. I don't mind making you toast. No one has ever made me toast since I was 15. Right. So this is awesome. Just

anybody doing anything for me is awesome. This is so cool. You made me toast. Yeah. So it's just such a great way to start the day. We get time together, time in the word. It's just, we finally found our rhythm. Good job. That's awesome. Yeah. One of the week. That's good, man. Glad to hear that for you. Yeah. I feel like you're definitely a morning person these days. Yeah. Which is awesome. Thanks. I was wondering if it would ever happen.

You know, I didn't know you were doing the Yushi Katooni 11-hour sleep. I think part of it with marriage, too, is realizing, like, if I want... It's like camp. If I want time to myself, if I want, like, personal time, it's going to have to be in the morning a little bit. Right. Which is kind of like, all right, I'm going to start my workday at 9 a.m but i have like just me time from 8 to 9 do whatever i want yeah look at chief's twitter or you know whatever just go down some rabbit hole and then because then once rachel's home i don't you know at the end of the you know 9 p.m like hey i gotta i gotta

look into chief's injury report so you know i'd rather just like spend time with her so absolutely man that's the current rive. Tymon, what's your win of the week? It was probably playing pickleball on Saturday and just hanging out with people. It was the people more than the pickleball. People over pickleball. Good for you. My friends are my win of the week.

It's just nice to have good friends. It's easy to take for granted. 100%. Definitely. I think it makes more of a difference than a lot of other external factors in your life. Like you could live in a really sad town where there's not much to do, but if you have good friends, or if you can have a really bad job or like whatever, but it's like, if you have good friends, it makes up for a lot. A hundred percent. I think every stage of life can be defined by the community around you. Like,

oh, high school sucked. And it's like, that's probably not because you didn't like your teachers or you got bad grades. It's probably because you didn't have good friends. Like, oh, high school sucked. That's probably not because you didn't like your teachers or you got bad grades. It's probably because you didn't have good friends. I hated college. All I did was study. Maybe because you didn't have good friends. You know, whatever. I think it could be defined by your friendships every stage. Yeah, totally. Catherine and I have talked about that a lot with

like, where are we going to... How are we going to school our kids? Private school? Public school? Unschooling. I know you guys have been throwing that one around. Homeschooling, whatever. All these different. Yeah, unschooling is right at the top of the list. Just like basically teach them false things.

I know that's not what unschooling is. Deschooling. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Unteach them what they learned from these audiobooks. So one plus one, you think it's two. Not anymore. Crazy. It's 2,000.

It's tree bark. We're not even doing number. It's whatever you want it to be. Crazy. It's 2000. It's tree bark. We're not even doing number. It's whatever you want it to be. But yeah, she was always like, I think we need to do this or whatever. And I always came to the conclusion of like, it doesn't matter what school they go to. I mean, sure, there's factors that happen about different schooling. But it matters what kind of friends they have at the school. Yeah.

You know what I mean? Yeah. So, Tymon, you got good friends good good for you yeah have you and like gunner and peter have you guys had conversations like all right we all have one-year-old daughters yeah let's like make sure they're like going to school together and stuff like that like do you do you pair up we haven't talked to i mean i'd like to pair up i'd like to put out there right now. Any of our friends listening, let's pair up some kids, Bluetooth, our kids. Yeah. Daisy chain, some, some, uh, no, I mean, not super seriously. There's been like jokes, which this isn't legal. And so it's a joke to everyone truly, but like, they're like, Catherine,

just teach our kids for us. Like we'll homeschool, but Catherine will just teach all the kids. And that's illegal. I don't, I don Catherine will just teach all the kids. That's illegal? I don't think you can technically do that. That's hilarious. That's ridiculous. That's the funniest thing I've ever heard. Wait, why is that not allowed? Because I don't think she's certified to teach somebody else's children. Well, Tymon's mom doesn't.

I'm joking. I'm joking. Oh, no! Oh, Tymon's mom doesn't! So anyway, so anyway but no i haven't thought too much about it but it is fun to think about the future with that kind of stuff that would be fun yeah now i'm thinking like we all illegally teach our kids but like we each have like subjects yeah they're all going to school together though i mean yeah what's the do you know do you know timing do you know, Tymon? Do you know? No. Like, but like how, cause there's, there's gotta be gray areas of like my mom, you know,

teaches Hattie things like, and surely that's not illegal, but I don't think that Catherine can be like the teacher or like Catherine. Like, I think maybe the joke was like, Hey, our kids will go to Catherine's house. Catherine will teach all our kids and we'll pay we'll pay Catherine for this I think maybe that's where the gets messy a mom at a homeschool co-op that's like volunteering and helping teach is that like not allowed but see I think co-ops are like registered

through the state I don't know there's got to be some legal stuff there and it's probably different state to state whatever but it would be fun to like because I mean how genuinely There's got to be some legal stuff there. And it's probably different state to state, whatever. But it would be fun to like, because I mean, genuinely, how fun would it be if you taught Hattie math? I would love that.

I know. I'll teach all the children math. Not just Hattie. No, but Bo's not going to learn. Bo's going to be more your tree bark math guy. Oh, man. It's just amazing. We've been playing so much baseball lately in the backyard, Hattie to her credit loves it. And like, we'll swing until she gets a hit, but it sometimes

takes her, you know, 12 swings. Yeah. Uh, which I'm very, it's hard to be patient. Bo gets up there, dude. And it's three pitches. I genuinely, he hit one on the roof the other day. Cool. And I'm like, you're just different, man. Like, like you're just, I don't know. I didn't even teach him how to swing a bat. Whereas like, I'm trying to like constantly be like, Hattie, stop chopping. Like you're looking like a lumberjack over there. Like swing flatter. So I just think Bo's not going to, he's going to be, I don't do math. I hit baseball. I hit dingers. I hit bombs. So that's fun to think about. Yeah. All schooling our kids together.

I know. What would you teach? Vibes. What would I teach? Music. I like math. I like music. I like reading and writing.

I was going to say, you could teach writing. Yeah. Yeah. Go ahead. I really don't love reading that much. I like reading fine. I don't do it very well or do it very often now. Can I actually

switch my subject? I'd like to teach history, I just decided. Okay. Is that cool? Does anyone already have dibs on history? Catherine might. Dang it. Catherine's pretty into history, but you can be in there too. American history, world history. I'll just be like a teacher's assistant.

Jake, we really don't need you. I'd like to stay. I'd like to help out. Yeah, we were talking just the other night, last night, about the Vietnam War and how Catherine's like, I don't really know much about the Vietnam War. Napalm. I know that. Bad.

Bad. I know Forrest Gump got shot in the buttocks. Something bit me. That was so funny last episode where you were talking about that. I got a little locked in on Forrest's voice. They call me Simba. That's my uncle Scar. Me, Timon, and Pumbaa

were like peas and carrots. And cauliflower. Oh, I like Nala. I'm not a smart man, but I know I like Nala. I'm not a smart man, but I know I love Nala. Nala got AIDS. Oh, wait. Oh, man.

Anyway, dude, what do you think? I have pretty irrationally strong opinions about Greek mythology. What do you think about it? I remember there was like a unit in probably seventh grade where we kind of went over it, so I know some basics. But I mean, it's all made up.

That's why I think it is the stupidest thing in the world. I think everyone knows it's made up, right? Well, yes. So why is it important to learn it? Oh, yeah. No, I'm with you there. Why do we need to... I mean, maybe it's the argument can be made.

It's like reading a fiction book. It's like, Hey, these are good stories. Yeah. And there there's, there's lessons to be learned in them, I guess.

Like Catherine, like they do, she does like Greek myth stuff with Hattie or they have in the past. And I, I just like, yeah, I don't know anything about Greek myths. And Catherine's like,

really? And I'm like, yeah, because it's stupid. It doesn't make any sense. Like why that would be interesting. Like if we're going to learn about like stories that are great fable or not great, great lessons, let's do them from the Bible. Let's do it. Poseidon's trident, Brad. Come on. Seriously though. Like, and Catherine's like, yeah, you know, Zeus was the father of this was, you know, had this wife. And I was like,

why do you know that? Your parents had a head on their shoulders. Get that out of your mouth. What do you think, Tymon? Do you know anything about Greek myths? Just a little bit from what I've like, I mean, there have been some that I've had to learn. We haven't done much.

Yeah. Like only as part of like history curriculums. It's not like our family would care about that. Yeah. I think there's an argument to be made. I don't know what it is, and so I'm ready to hear out an argument for somebody out there. I feel like a lot of

they're just referenced in a lot of cultures to just like, oh, this is a classic example of this lesson or whatever. Yeah, Icarus flying too close to the sun. That's what I was thinking of, yeah. Great, Pandora's box, great. Just explain what that means.

Don't, like, tell me about the genealogy of these made-up people. And don't require it in school. No. Yeah. Dumb. Ah, I get fired up about this. Like, especially because I get to choose basically what I teach my kids. I'm not teaching about Zeus.

Yeah. You know? It doesn't seem. It's like, okay, why would I care about the wwe if ufc and boxing exists like the real combat sports that's ironclad baby compare it's like all right why don't you care about greek mythology if we already have the bible we already have these amazing stories right i mean yeah if you're gonna learn genealogy let's learn genealogy of jesus or you know whatever um the best thing to come of g Greek mythology is the musical Hadestown,

I would say. Hadestown? Are you allowed to say that? That sounds evil-spirited. Give it a listen. Hadestown. Hadestown. Speaking of not wanting to listen to Hadestown, but being

into other things that are more biblical. Timon, hit the button. New sponsor alert. New sponsor alert. Oh, you nailed it. I got it. I'm learning. Nicely done. That noise, man. It's just like fingers on a chalkboard.

I'll tell you what's not fingers on a chalkboard. Word of God. Just listen to the word of God. Yeah, we have a new sponsor. It's Dwell Bible app dwell fingers on a, on a nice back of your head. That's nice. Instead of chalkboard. It truly is.

Yeah. So, so if you guys don't know dwell, well, I'll, I'll, I'll let me, Hey,

let me back up. Hey, everybody calm down. Everyone just chill out a little bit. Let Brad talk. Let the man speak. Stop interrupting him. Golly. It's like frigging bit. Let Brad talk. Let the man speak. Stop interrupting him. Golly.

It's like frigging Poseidon in here. Oh, Odysseus. I don't even know if that's one of them. This sounded good, though. Or Nysa. I don't know. Yeah. Yeah.

No, honestly, we're going to talk about Dwell, this Bible app, the Bible reading app. I have just noticed my daughter, Hattie, it does quiet time every single day. And she listens to books on tape, all these different audio things. And it's amazing how much she has picked up from those, uh, from those like auditory, she is an auditory learner. She is so good at picking up things, grasping them because she is simply hearing them while going about her day, while basically having fun. And I think we often are taking for granted the opportunity of doing this ourselves with the Bible. With the Bible rather than magic treehouse. Yeah. Who needs magic treehouse when you got Dwell Bible app? Hey, I got a little magic for you. God's magic.

No, but really though, I mean, it's awesome that you're getting this rhythm of reading your Bible every day. That is so important. Another rhythm that I think you can add is listening to your Bible, whether you're working out, whether you're doing things around the house, whether you're driving, putting on the dwell app is just something that you can do to both obviously fulfill your need for the word. And also, yeah, it relaxes you. It's a beautiful way of listening to the Bible, I think. Yeah. And I feel like it's tough. Everyone has struggled at some point with trying to carve out time to read the Bible. What if you didn't necessarily have to carve out that time because you can listen to it on your way to someplace while you're working out? It's much more of a,

you know, you could do two things in one kind of. Right. Like watch my hands. Like you can listen to me while watching my hands. Like I can move my hands around and you can still be listening. Back in the day, I used to have to carve out time to watch your hands. Exactly.

But now I can do both. Yeah. No, genuinely though, it is the most elegant way I've ever heard the Bible be read in an audio app. Eloquent, perhaps? Yeah, eloquent. Maybe both. Hey, I don't know.

Watch my hands. Hey, I don't know. It's more elegant than this. Eloquent. Yeah. Yeah, just like nice. It's like, it just brings about a peace to me. I've been using it recently in the car. As they become a sponsor, It's like, it just brings about a piece to me. I've been

using it recently in the car. Um, as they become a sponsor, I'm like, I got to get this thing myself. Give me a little example of the eloquence here. Give me a little John three 16. Uh, I don't even know. I'm going to try, but I don't even know if it's going to, I'm going to sound more like a, like a hillbilly infomercial. Hey, y'all forgot. So the work. You can do that. You can do, yeah. T-Pain. Uncle Randy. No. It's like Waze traffic. Honestly, yeah, time. And maybe we'll just put in a little audio bite from their thing for five seconds here.

Yeah, sorry to put you on the spot. Because I just don't think I do address this. Now, when Jesus learned that the Pharisees had heard, it's just a different kind of sponsor for us, but we're very excited about this sponsor because we know that so many of us prioritize reading the Bible, and now we can also prioritize experiencing the Bible through auditory ways. So they have a website. It's dwellbible.com, dwellbible.com slash GRKC. Dwell as in the word you're probably thinking of, but just in case, a well with a D at the front of it. D-well.

Start with you, Brad. How often would you say you think about the Roman Empire? Dude, I don't get that. What do you think? Zero percent. I don't... What? No, keep going. I've seen like... I never even like watch those videos

because I'm like... I've seen that's like a trend. Like guys think about the Roman Empire all the time. I don't even... I don't know a single fact. Caesar? That's Roman. Is that the same guy as Julius?

Is it Julius Caesar? Julius Caesar. Is that one guy? Second. Maybe. Yeah. But like never. And so every time Maybe, yeah. But like, never. And so every time I see those videos of like, let's see

how often these guys think about it, I'm always like, no, they don't. I'm skipping this thing. I don't know if it's real. Like, you see these TikToks and these, well, so if you guys don't know, there's a TikTok trend going around right now. It's like, hey, ladies, ask your boyfriend how often he thinks about the Roman Empire because these guys are giving answers like, I mean, probably like once a day.

No. You know, people are like, I mean, a few times a week. Define the Roman Empire, I guess. Because no, you don't. Unless you're talking about Gladiator. I think about Russell Crowe once a day. I was going to say, it's like, just think about it. Like, I mean, never. Like maybe something comes across my phone that makes me think about it.

Like if it's like a crossword and it's like, or like a jump word jumble and those words can spell out Roman, maybe once a day. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. You know, who killed Jesus? Romans.

I don't even think about that once a day. No, that was just for the crossword. That was not just what comes to mind. No, but yeah, so I didn't know of the trend and Rachel asked me, she's like,

do you, this is like, what are you talking about? She's like, how often do you think about the Roman empire? I was like, put me the trend, and Rachel asked me. She's like, do you know about this? I was like, what are you talking about? She's like, how often do you think about the Roman Empire? I was like, put me down for like once every four months. She's like, really? I was like, probably less. I don't know.

Yeah. I was like, never. What kind of, yeah. How do you really like gauge how often you think about anything? Yeah, I don't even know why I would think about it. I want to know from these guys, why are you thinking about them?

What is it about what they did? I know. Maybe I should watch some. Have you watched any of these videos, Tymon? Not really. Have you heard of the trend? I don't think so. It's just in the last week or two, it's just been this trend. Yeah. I don't get it at all. And the idea of asking someone

how often do you think about blank? I don't ever know the answer to that. How often do you think about the Chiefs? Four times a day right now? I don't ever know the answer to that. How often do you think about the chiefs? Oof. Four times a day right now. But how? I don't know that though. I don't know.

It's so hard to think about. Yeah. I have no idea. I, I, yeah, I just wasn't sure if you guys are going to be familiar with that trend.

So I thought I'd at least just ask. So yeah, I mean, zero, zero. Yeah. I don't, I think about Greek mythology more than I think about the Roman Empire.

I don't even know what there is to think about. Like, are these macho guys just thinking about conquering the world? Yeah. Is it Alexander the Great? I don't even know if he was in the Roman Empire. Dude, I got a funny story. Yeah, how do I do this anonymously? Whatever.

TJ told me a story. Let's call him TJ. Let's call this guy TJ. About a time where he was hanging out with some guys in Maui. Uh, and they were all, there was like eight of them in a hot tub, which is already a funny crowded. Cause I don't think they make hot tubs that are just suitable for eight men very often. Um, but they're all just hanging out, having live conversation. There's this one guy, um, you know, kind of just telling different beliefs that he has. This guy's kind of thinking about Christianity, not quite fully committed, but I think is very interested. And so I think they're

trying to get him to talk and trying to... And he's just saying different things about, we're really responsible for being good men in this world. And they're like, totally. Yes, totally. And he's like, the way I see it I see it, uh, men should do two things. They should conquer land and everyone's like, okay. Yeah. And women. And DJ said like, before he could like stop nodding, he just nodded along to that too. And he was just like, Oh, I don't, I don't believe go back a slide, conquer women. Uh, you're an Andrew Tate guy. Apparently, you know, it's just like top G conquer women. The two things we'd be doing is conquering land and women. It's like, uh,

I don't know if that's right at all. Yeah. It's like, I was like 60% on board for the land thing. And now it's, I'm starting to think I didn't even really like the land thing in the first place. Yeah. Yeah. To find land. Yeah. It's like, yeah. But it's one of those sides where you're just already at like agreeing and it's like, oh, shoot. Keep going, man. I should not. You're already on the downtick of like your nod. You're like, ah.

You got to turn it into a sneeze ASAP. Uh-huh. Conqueror land. Achoo. Whoa. That was crazy. Bless me. I'm going to get some napkins.

See you guys. Yeah. Anyway, so. Conqueror land. Mm-hmm. So that guy's probably thinking of the Roman Empire more than most. Maybe there are a lot of guys out there not like us. No love just thinking about the conquering of civilization.

I don't know. I can't. I don't know. Is there something? This is going to be hard to think of on the spot. Either of you guys. Is there something that you guys think about daily that is weird? I think about genetics all the time.

Is that weird? Expand on that. Just like any of my actions. I'm always trying to piece together. Is this for my mom? Is this for my dad? Any of Rachel's actions, trying to see what of our kids will get that.

Does it overlap? Do me and Rachel both share this characteristic? Will we probably see this in our kids? Are you talking about like physical characteristics more than like- More personality. You think that's genetics? Yes.

Okay. Yeah. I wonder if Rachel would say it's genetics or is it family of origin? You know what I mean? Like how you grew up. Yeah. I don't know. I think most, almost everything in life comes down to a combination of nature and nurture.

So it's like an impossible debate. That sounds good. I would say everything is a little both, but. But you think about that a lot. But I do just find myself thinking about it all the time. Interesting. Genetics. Do you think about random things? I can't think of anything that I think about. a lot i bet i do just find myself thinking about all the time genetics you think about random things i can't think of anything that i think about i don't know i mean like this

is probably not as surprising and you guys probably do the same thing with audio video youtube stuff but when i walk into rooms i notice woodworking stuff all the time yeah that's fun you know like oh yeah watching any movie yeah all i'm thinking about lighting setup like oh yeah dude watching any movie is completely different like past one or two years really really all i could think about is the lighting and so interesting what what like equipment they might be using to light this no wonder you like cartoons so much you know you're like yeah it's so relaxing you don't have to worry about it into the spider verse the shadows were off though um yeah interesting so like can your experience like movie watching experience be ruined if the lighting's bad uh kind of yeah i

don't know it depends any movies come to mind like oh great lighting oh terrible lighting place great place white place really good just in in general wow that's great you just know that off the top of your head tell me the first one that i thought of do you guys relate to this movie watching experience where sometimes it's like, I feel like the screen's just completely black and it's like, I can't see a thing on this screen. I turned on my TV in the Vegas hotel room

and it was already on some movie and I was like, I don't know if the TV is on. Exactly. This is crazy. I could see the channel in the top right, so obviously the TV is on, but something's gotta be off of this TV or this is the darkest movie I've ever seen. It's like, talk about

bad lighting, or is that an intentional thing? Do you know? I think it's intentional, but it's like, they're thinking this is color graded for a movie theater, where it's like, there's not going to be any other interfering lights. You're going to be able to see it, but just barely in the theater. So it's probably just pitch black.

Am I wrong in saying this, Tymon? Isn't there better true, quote unquote, true black on a TV screen than a movie theater screen? Probably. Wow. You know what I mean? Yeah. Because like in the movie theater. It's a projector.

It's white. It can only be as dark as. So it's like, I don't know. It feels like on TV it would show up better. Yeah. I don't know. I've never seen Game of Thrones, but I feel like I saw a lot of things on Twitter. Their final season, like every season it gets darker like i can't people like all caps

on twitter like i can't see the entire final season i think people say that about like dc movies they're super dark really interesting i don't know i watched a movie this is not about lighting sorry maybe a little bit i don't know okay it's just a movie you've seen recently i watched i've watched a lot of movies randomly recently. I've watched 13 Hours with Catherine. You ever seen that one? Oh, yeah. We had to saw his arm off, but it goes way quicker than the first one. Yeah.

It's like, well, I've done this before. It's already pretty loose. No, it's about Benghazi, these soldiers in Benghazi. Oh, cool. Really good movie. Catherine was like, we've got to watch this. Maybe she's on a high from September 11th, patriotism. It's almost 9-11.

We got to watch this. We watched that. And then I watched The Town. These are all like movies that I would not recommend unless you're older than Timon, by the way. All R-rated movies. The Town. You ever seen that one?

No. Good. About bank robbers in Boston. Oh, Boston. Pretty good. Apparently Bill Simmons said it was like the most accurately depicted Boston movie of all time. Cool. So I wanted to watch it. Uh, and then I watched last night, I watched uncut gyms. You're seeing that. I wanted to Kevin Garnett, Adam Sandler. Yeah. Um, I don't know if I would recommend it or not, but, but the thing that

I was going to get back to was like, I was uncomfortable watching it almost the entire time because never was there quiet. It was always people talking over each other. It's kind of exhausting. It was. It was like two hours. And it was like, this is a long time to just feel a little bit stressed out for this character.

And I think that's just his character. And I think that's probably intentional. But it was interesting. So anyway, I didn't know if anybody had seen anything. I've never gone full. Like I, I honestly, I don't know enough about cinematography to appreciate it.

Like where retirement is coming from, like cinema, you know, cinematography lighting. Yeah. But I know enough to really notice a white balance. Like, and that's a pretty like elementary thing,

but like anytime Mexico or Central America has ever depicted in a short movie, it is so orange. Yeah. Pay attention to it next time. They're like, we want you to know, like CSI Miami even. The whole thing is like green and orange and weird. The show Ozark,

very blue, opposite of the spectrum. These things are done intentionally. It's not like, oh my I was doing auto white balance. Crap. But yeah, that's like an easy thing to notice because it's always, that's more like intentional. Like we're trying to give you this mood or this idea. Yeah, kind of darker. easy thing to notice because it's always, that's more like intentional. Like we're trying to give you this mood or this idea. Yeah, kind of darker.

The blue is like a darker vibe. Yeah, yes. Right. Exactly. Interesting. So that's the movies. Was all that from Roman Empire? That's not bad.

Yeah. Yeah, just throw something else out there, Jake. Okay. I want to listen to this Patrick Mahomes quote because this is the thing, like I haven't seen anyone talk about it on Twitter. Okay. But when to listen to this Patrick Mahomes quote, because this is the thing, like I haven't seen anyone talk about it on Twitter. Okay. But when I was watching the game,

me, Scott and Isaac were watching it together and we're like, we noticed it and we thought it was great. So let's just see what you guys think too. So this is the end of, it'll be the end of the answer to this question. Post game. Happy birthday,

man. What's in store for the rest of the day in the evening? Yeah. I'll probably just hang out with the guys, man. I'll be store for the rest of the day in the evening? Yeah. I'll probably just hang out with the guys, man. I'll be a nice flight home. Luckily we're flying back with the wind. Um,

did it sound like he said we're flying back with the wind? That's what, yeah. So we were like, wait, does Patrick, does like, does it matter?

Like, yeah, it should take about 45 minutes less. We're flying back. I'll win. That's what he was saying. He's like checking his phone. Yeah. She'd be good to fly back. Uh,'s what he was saying he's like checking his phone yeah it should be good to fly back jet streams go yeah okay pretty good jet streams yeah we're gonna be about 55 knots over there

in the wind I don't know if knots is a thing so for a while we're like surely he said it'll be nice to fly back with the wind like hey it's way better you know going back home when you got the W yeah but man it sounded a lot like hey it'll be good to fly back with the wind. So then we were just laughing about it.

Like, what if he just secretly is all this like aerial knowledge? Yeah, he's like a pilot. Yeah. And also we want to, we're like, that would be fun if every single like post-game interview, they were all in on it together, where they all have to bring up the wind. Or they have to bring up something with the weather. Yeah, right. It'd be nice to fly home.

Barometric pressure is like pretty high tonight. So it should be a pretty good flight. Yeah, you know, easy breezy. I talked to the pilot. He said, not too much turbulence. So we're excited. We got the W. Yeah.

I like the idea of Patrick Mahomes being either a pilot or an air traffic controller. You know, and just calling it out like, yellow, yellow, yellow. Hey, we're good. We're good. You know, he loves saying that. We're good. We're good. Like doing that for a plane taking off. Hey, you're good. You're good we're good you know he loves saying that like we're good we're good like doing that for plane taking off hey you're good you're good you're good go go let's go instead of sending him in motion he's like sending planes go come on it's your runway go in motion going back with the wind that's great yeah we were like oh my gosh that sounded so much like it. So yeah, but it does give me excited.

I would love to see more players take their postgame press conference or, you know, or just on field interviews less seriously. Yeah. Like just all, Hey, we're all going to talk. I think McDaniels, nothing but meteorology. Did you see on a, was it Monday night whenever they played, they were like halftime. She's like, okay. And how did you, uh, or yeah. How have you been able to stop this or you know whatever he's like well first of all i haven't done anything it's been the players and it was like that's so good yeah the um i think you might have referenced this in your

blog post i didn't click on it because i was like i think i know what he's talking about but week one of the season he noticed that the jumbotron was on him so he's being projected everywhere during like a review or something. And so then he takes that opportunity to like really like clearly like run the ball five times in a row, which is like clearly not what they were doing. But he was like,

maybe they'll think I actually mean this. He had like those massive sunglasses on. Like he's just a funny guy. Yeah, yeah. Yeah, run the ball five times in a row. Run the, and he said like three times. Just like, I guess, you know, his office

coordinator obviously knows he's joking hopefully i think he like maybe put took his microphone away yeah maybe but he's maybe the opposing coach will like think i'm gonna do this right so good yeah it's fun yeah so yeah fly home with the wind fly home with the wind yeah we're gonna take that thing and i don't know fly away you get it had a weird, um, experience the other day at the coffee shop, uh, where literally I've never experienced a barista having such a long conversation with their drive-through mic to the person. Oh, on headset. Like I understand if you're working at a coffee shop, you're probably buzzing a little more than most with beans, mainstreetroasters.com.

Which location were you at when this happened? I was in Main Street Roasters in Napanee, Indiana. Okay, you were at the headquarters. I was at Main Street Roasters Northwest. Okay, gotcha. Nice. Yeah, but no, this woman, like at first I was like, oh, she's just talking to another employee, um, while wearing the headset,

like an internal headset. Like it was unbelievable. It was a conversation like that. Like she's like, she goes, okay, do you know that scene from the office? Wherever Michael is doing that charity fun run and he's doing all that stuff

and he's eating the Alfredo, um, right before he's on a run. That's what I'm thinking of right now. And I was, and, and at first I thought like, okay,

but then I looked around, I was like, there's no other employees around right now. She's just talking, she's talking to the drive through. Yeah. Imagine all that coming through like a crappy speaker, like in the drive through.

Like, okay. Yeah. I just need a butter roll. Just, just go ahead and load it up. Please make sure it's.com. I mean, I was, I I was I've had a few

times where it's a little bit of a conversation and even that I'm like this is a little uncomfortable for me just like there's people behind me I don't want them to think I'm the one taking up all this time right like it's just like a little joking back and forth and even that's just like kind of jarring of like oh you're a real person behind that speaker I didn't even think about

you did you catch any more like what is she trying to talk like what is she making this reference maybe maybe just like she's i don't know maybe she was full all carbs no water yeah i don't or yeah i i have no idea i i was i was shocked and i think that was even before maybe i'm pretty sure it was before she even took their order oh this just kind of started off. So maybe it's just like, hey, how's your day going? Good. How about yours? Well, you know that scene from The Office?

I'm like, what in the world? So, yeah, it was just a weird experience where I'd just never seen anybody have any kind of conversation even remotely as long as that to somebody that they're not in the same room or even like seeing, well, I guess on the phone, I've heard people have long conversations, but not like this, not like this, not like this. One thing I want you to, um, not necessarily defend, but, uh, bring up. I just thought of it because our,

our most recent message in our fantasy football, uh, thing right now, it just, someone said, uh, Oh no, Derek Carr is right behind me, isn't he? So I don't even know what they're talking about. There's like 20 unread messages, but I love our fans. I love that we get to play fantasy football with people listen to our podcast. Um, but I want you to defend. So you made a whoopsie daisy of a trade last week where I did you. Yeah, I was just, I was just trade happy right before the podcast actually. Yeah. You accepted a trade happy right before the podcast, actually. Yeah, you accepted a trade. You realized, dang, that's not necessarily what I wanted to do,

but hey, I'll be all right. Well, like five days later, I see that the trade just gets reversed. How'd that happen? Sammy, the guy that I traded with, just super kind and was like, dude, if you didn't mean to do that, I'll take it back. Okay, so he came to you and was like, hey, we can just switch. So the background is we traded two players, but I also gave him four of my quote unquote dollars. But I was thinking when we were trading the two players that he was giving me $4. And so I accepted the trade kind of, yeah, flippantly and looked and like, Oh wait, I think I just gave him $4 and the better player in my opinion. Um, and so I, I just like responded on the group chat. I was like, Oh man, didn't think that's what it was supposed to be. And he responded to me and

I don't, I don't get notifications for that. So I wasn't seeing my DM. So that's why it took a while back and forth. And he was like, well, we could do this trade for $2. Like, you know, I could give you $2, whatever. And I was like, no, I don't, I don't want that. that i was like if you really truly are willing to take it back i'll take i'll take it back you know i'm not gonna say no but um also i totally understand if you don't want to and he's like no let's do it so i saw sammy roten sammy yeah uh yeah very nice guy did the trade back about 24 hours after the trade back the person that you got back had a terrible game and the guy you traded away ran for over 100 yards yeah so if you're curious out there football fans Najee Harris was the guy I was trying to trade and James Cook is the guy that

did really well yeah it was just like but Najee Harris is like the more valuable preseason you know pick hey Alabama guy you know yeah and I think he might be real bad. What's going on with the Steelers? Well, they won. Yeah, but still. I know. Ugly win. But yeah, I don't know. So Sammy, if you're listening to this, let's do the trade again. Trade back.

Snip, snap, snip, snap. That'd be a funny ongoing joke because every other week we just trade. Alright, you can have Najee this week. It's like, yeah, we're like divorced parents. I get Najee That would be a funny ongoing joke is every other week we just – Make that trade. All right. You can have Najee this week. It's like, yeah, we're like divorced parents. I get Najee on the first and third weeks of every month. Yep.

Yeah, something like that. You get him on his bye week. Yeah. Yeah, man. I'm just admittedly just a very mediocre fantasy football player. As far as paying attention, just the other day you were like, yeah, Saquon's going to be out this week. And I was like,

I didn't even know that. So I don't have my eight to nine time like you do. I need to carve that out for fantasy. Yeah, eight to nine time. Yeah. Not a bad time. How about we listen to a few voice memos

to kind of wrap this episode up? Let's do it. It's kind of fun to get the ghosties involved. I think we got a ton just since the last time we've done this. Cool. Thank you, ghosties. I haven't seen this. Hey, Garland.

Hey, Lee. This is Lizzie. I'm actually the ghostie that won Jake's giveaway like almost a year ago. So, super thankful for that again, Jake. Oh my gosh, couldn't thank you enough. And I recently realized that I didn't really spend it, spend it. I just kind of kept it in Venmo. So, I decided I'm going to buy

tickets to jake's long beach show and i'm so excited to meet jake and then i bought two tickets without even knowing who's gonna go with and i didn't want to pull one of those like waiting in line like i have a free ticket and then have a grandma go with me even though that would be fun i gave it to my friend she paid me back and i spent the extra money on merch because you know girl math yeah um so really excited to meet you jake uh also trey i guess um see him and so my question for you guys is how do you like your pancakes do you like toppings inside or on top do you like them fluffy or flat okay that's all the time i got bye what cool what was her name first of all uh she goes by it looks like looks like lily's okay

but i think her name's li. I'm trying to find our... What was she talking about with the giveaway? I forgot. I think I gave her like 500 bucks, like 1,000 bucks for something. I don't remember what though. Whoa. I don't know what it was for.

I got to find this. I can't remember. Really? I offered up some large amount of money for something that was valuable to me too, but I don't know what it would have been. I remember you offered it up for if you could get beaten pickleball and yeah it wasn't that i'm just gonna be scrolling okay we're gonna find thanks for

purchasing merch ghostrunners.life we got some new fall merch out there right now um well yeah you keep looking for that pancakes timing you got any opinions on pancakes what was the question what was just just it sounds like just a lot of open-ended what do you prefer about how do you prefer your pan you want toppings on top or inside of okay an ideal pancake stack let's go um you stack them first oh yeah yeah i mean like maybe maybe three ish in the stack stack ball there's some butter in between each oh you dog yeah and it's like the pancakes are so hot enough that the butter's like melting syrup on top how fluffy oh pretty fluffy okay i'm not like yeah i mean yeah medium medium fluffy okay and then

whipped cream whipped cream is so necessary okay wow and maybe some And then maybe some strawberries. Just strawberries on top. Yeah. Not strawberries. In the whipped cream kind of like whipped cream first. Yeah, yeah. Then strawberries like kind of float. Talk to me. Yeah.

Good answer. I grew up a big waffle and French toast guy. I always put pancake on the bottom of my list. I've really grown in appreciation of my love for pancakes. I would say waffles are better. A little bit. That's just my opinion. I don really grown in appreciation of my love for pancakes. I would say waffles are better a little bit. That's just my opinion. I don't know, dude. I don't know, dude. I think you should, you should think about it because pancakes are just so much smoother. You can spread them easier. I'm a big fan of peanut butter on my pancakes. Really? Peanut butter and syrup. Yeah. Yeah. A

lot of, a lot of fat and a little bit of protein really yeah it shows um i'm just kidding um yeah i i don't know i like them the way katherine makes them i think that's just like you you grow up liking them the way your mom makes them and then you get married and you like them the way your wife makes them and so she uses i think magnolia's uh cookbook uh for pancakes and they are nice. If we are going to talk about toppings, I do like when she puts chocolate chips in the pancakes. That's

real nice. I was thinking about adding that in. But really, you can't go wrong with any of them. But I think I prefer them a little bit flatter than fluffy. But I'll take them anyway I get them. And yeah, whipped cream, sure. Blueberries, strawberries, sure.

Chocolate chips, sure. Chocolate chips are really good. I like those inside of the pancake. Yeah. Tucked away. This is kind of a surprise. I'll see one on top. There were more on bottom.

I couldn't see them. Dude, yeah, exactly. A hundred percent. So yeah, ideally, I mean, obviously, it's just different vibes, different moods, but I would probably, my ideal pancake,

you got one more day to live. This is your last breakfast would be chocolate chips, flatter pancake with peanut butter on top syrup. And my gosh, am I going to enjoy it? I'm not a big stack guy though. I not because I'm a stack stack. I,

I just, I usually just put them in different parts of the the plate a little mickey mouse style i'll stack a stack if you're gonna like if you're having anything else else else anything else in the same breakfast you know you want to like have some room so you stack them oh yeah it makes a hundred percent sense i just i'm not i'm not a stagger not a stagger okay i found. I found it all. Yeah. I sent Lizzie, Lily, I already forgot her name. Lizzie, I think. $500 like last summer.

And I forgot. It's when my special came out. I did a thing on my Instagram story. It said like, if you post yourself just watching my special night, tag me. Cool. You're going to win. I saw, I found on my archives, my exact Instagram story. I said, this is probably not the most responsible thing to do, but I'm excited.

So yeah, she was the one. And my Venmo transactioner said, don't spend it all on one thimble. Because I think she had like a sewing account or something, like her sewing account won. That's right. It was. It was like, yeah, some sewing company's name or something.

Yeah, I kind of remember that. Fun. There we go. That's pretty cool that she, yeah, used the money to contribute back to you. Yeah, and she's still around, still listening. That's cool cool that she, yeah, used the money to contribute back to you. Yeah. And she's still, still around, still listening. That's cool. Next up is, uh, Christopher, who we've heard from a lot, heard a lot about recently. Bonehole Jake and Brad, Chris again from Louisiana. First off,

absolutely loved hearing my voice moment this past Wednesday. I had completely forgot that I had sent that in. So that was a really fun surprise for me and just a really funny bit from y'all. Just wanted to pop in real quick with a quick note. I'm on my way back from men's Bible study this morning. Nice early morning meeting with some older guys from church. And something happened that I just immediately wanted to share with y'all. This one guy, we were talking just about the grace of God and how when we're at church, it feels like we can repent all day long and never run out of His grace. And this one guy, he just goes verbatim.

He says, you know, and when I'm around Christians, when I'm around church, I just want to repent all the time with Jesus there. I mean, Jesus, He's just the mayonnaise on the sandwich, you know? And we all just kind of start snickering and be like, yeah, Jesus, mayonnaise on the sandwich. So hallelujah, bon appetit. Talk to you all later. Mayonnaise on a sandwich? That is downgrading Jesus a whole lot. He's not my mayonnaise.

If we're using that analogy, he is my sandwich. He's the bread of life. Like when people are like, Trump, not my president. I said, Jesus, not my mayonnaise. Not my mayonnaise. No, yeah. Mayonnaise is like, you can forget about it and still have a great sandwich. Absolutely. That is the...

Jesus is my sandwich without mayonnaise. That's one of those times where you're not in the long and then he says, and Jesus is the sandwich or mayonnaise to my sandwich. You go, ah, shoot. I nodded again. Okay. I shouldn't have. Okay.

Jesus is my conqueror of women. Yes. Ah! Shoot. We need to conquer just like Jesus. Yes. Yes. Lord of lords, especially women. Ah!

The mayonnaise on the sandwich. Yeah, time. You said it perfectly. Jesus is my man is with or my sandwich without don't get that near my sandwich. Like mayonnaise is one of

like the most controversial like people. A lot of people like it and a lot of people were like, I will not eat a sandwich of as many. Yeah, Satan is my man. It's get that away from

me. I'll take the sandwich on its own. Satan, get that away from here. I don't want maybe a only it sounds nice. Like he lives in Louisiana. I'll take the sandwich on its own. Satan, get that away from here. I don't want it. Maybe aioli. It sounds nice.

He lives in Louisiana. It just rolls off the tongue. Mayonnaise, salmon. Jesus, my mayonnaise. I'll tell you what right now. I have mayonnaise on that sandwich. Yeah, it's funny. Just this past week, I'm like, I don't like making fun of other Christians a whole lot,

especially within our church. But our church does this hilariously weird thing. I mean, we have a very contemporary worship, but it is led by people that are not contemporary. Yeah, you're talking about the snake charmers? No, I'm talking about these people are more the silent generation type than the vocal generation. But first of all, a rationally strong opinion, I think I've talked about before on the podcast, are more the silent generation type than the vocal generation. The Gen Z. But they, first of all, rationally strong opinion,

I think I've talked about before on the podcast, clapping along to songs during worship is never a good idea. Never encourage people to clap because the clapping never lasts the entire song. Yeah, you can't keep it up. And so then it's just awkwardly like... I guess we'll die out now. Yeah, some people kind of try to commit to it longer. Um, and so our worship leader does like to tell people to clap their hands. Fine. I don't, I'm not going to like die on that

hill, but what I will die on is the man is the way, like, I think, I think we probably have five singers up there. And, uh, I think they, they don I think they're not obligated to clap their hands. If you're a singer, just hold your microphone. But our singers don't do that. Our singers, seriously, this is how they do it. Well, you can't do that, though, because they're holding their microphone. So genuinely, they do this, dude. Ready?

I don't even know if I can do it with the stand. Sing a song, please, so we can get the full text. Lord, I lift your name on high. Lord, I love to sing your praises. And it's like they're just like smacking the butt of this microphone. And I'm like, you don't have to do it. I don't even

know if they're like following through. They're more like, it's just, it's just tambourine. It just looks so unnatural. And that hurt my hand. I'm sure it hurts theirs. It's like one of those things. It's like, we understand how to clap our hands without you doing it with us. We have, there's a drum set right there.

We can just hit it when they hit it, you know? Yeah. It's one of those things. If I ever join the worship team, I am going to be vehemently against clapping my hands. I'm going to be Vietnamese, and I'm going to say, stop clapping. Nay, I say nay to those palms on the microphone. I've noticed this before, too, because sometimes I feel like rarely do you hear

their hand hit it. That would annoy the daylights out of me. Right. But sometimes I feel like they're even like, maybe these people don't know how to clap.

And so it's like, they are just like pantomiming, clapping. Yeah, yeah, yeah. We know. We got it. Right.

We're doing, we're literally doing it. Yeah. Anyway, that's the only thing I'm ever going to say negative about my church because those people

are great volunteers. They're leading us in praise and worship of Jesus. And so good for you guys, but just don't clap like that. If you do fine, I still love you and appreciate you, but that's my one thing. What was Michael Jordan's quote on the last dance? You're like, hey, if you don't want to clap like that, then don't clap like that. You won't clap like that. Break. That's what it does. Break, break, break.

Time and you get it. Don't clap. Yeah. Kind of Daryl strawberry basketball like that. Don't clap. Like he's kind of like holding back. You don't want to clap like that. Don't clap like that. Break. So good, dude. Thanks Chris for the voice memo and the mayonnaise on my sandwich. The mayonnaise is great. Uh, I think, Hey Chris, next time you go, uh, figure out your your obscure analogy that doesn't make sense and pepper it into conversation. Figure it in there. Or we can do it for him real quick. Yeah. I tell you what.

He's just the spokes to my tires. God's grace is like the umbrella on a rainy day. It's like, well, grace doesn't protect us, really. Rain isn't that bad. Yeah. Yeah. like, well, grace doesn't protect us really. Rain isn't that bad. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Umbrella. Umbrella on a rainy day is good. You know, he's just the mittens to my coat.

I'll tell you, God's sovereignty is the LASIK to my poor vision. To my astigmatism. Yeah. Choose one of those. Let us know. Or do it on your own. Let us know.

Chris seems like he's a consistent contributor to the pod. Yeah. Let us know, Chris. Next one. Maybe we'll do one or two more. It's from Rojoy795. Okay. Hello, Jake and Brad.

It's Rochelle, a.k.a. Oshel. There are so many different kinds of Amish and Mennonites, so I feel unable to fully explain it all. But from my perspective, a few would be the Amish drive horse and buggy and we drive cars. As far as metal versus woodworking, anything goes. As far as metal music versus acapella, us Mennonites do like to throw in a little Justin Bieber with our Brandon Lake. But I guess that depends on who you would ask. I could go on and on, but in the whole scheme scheme of things what matters most is if you know jesus the reason i do what i do is because i love jesus and want to follow him on another note i've heard you both shortening um words and phrases on

the pod and one of them being self-conch my friends are not fans so i made it my life mission to get them to say it a while back i've heard my one friend say to the other, don't tell Rochelle. The word had slipped into her vocabulary just as I had planned. What word or phrase have you tried to slip into someone's vocab? Did you succeed? And by the way, I work at a furniture store.

I work at a furniture store. By the way, I sell chairs for a living. I'm in a night and I work at a furniture store. By the way, I sell chairs for a living. I'm Mennonite and I work at a furniture store. That's amazing. That's a jam-packed voice memo. Yeah. Got kind of her faith in there.

She's Mennonite. We got on my first Mennonite. I guess if she's posting this voice memo. She's Mennonite. Yeah. It sounds like she could love the Dwell Bible app, dwellbible.com slash go to GRKC. Check it out, dwellbible.com slash go to GRKC.

Check it out, Rochelle. Okay. Where do we start with this one? Something that you've tried to integrate into like someone else's like vernacular, basically. Oh yeah. I got answers. Okay. Go, go for it.

I mean, for a while, like in high school, it was kind of a joke that like, and it was within my youth group. It wasn't like I was like the coolest guy in the entire city of Olathe, but like in our youth group, people would be like, Brad can make anything trendy. Oh yeah. That's a great trait you have. Yeah. And so, uh, so it became like an inside joke with a few of us, like, Hey, give Brad an idea or a phrase, and he's going to try to like incorporate this into something, make it a thing. And the phrase was banana man. And I kept, I said banana man, like for a year in a row to the point where somebody, somebody made like a wax sculpture of a banana hat that had arms and stuff. It was like a banana man, like all these different things. It was just, it was more like a Rendell Weaver kind of thing where it was, it was more of like just a expression like, Oh, banana man, banana man.

Yeah. Oh, like, Oh, don't it stay for Sunday school, banana man. You know? So, uh, take it for a year straight is some dedication. It was great. You know, but the guys that knew it, like we were having so much fun, like just throwing the phrase banana man in there had made no sense. Um, I feel like I, I, I, i did that a lot growing up that was uh and probably still subconsciously do um but yeah banana man was definitely the the one that was like intentionally ridiculous that we would do i feel like this is such a guy thing guys are always

like changing words and like it sticks around for a certain period of time so i'm sure if we thought we could think of plenty the first one i thought of is towards the tail end of college me and garrett gibson and kind of our friend group started saying might as, instead of like, yeah, we might as well. Or like, instead of just saying, yeah, let's do that. Might as. And that kind of took off a little bit. We talked about that on the podcast a long time ago and we said it for a while. Oh yeah, might as. I guess speaking of college, lick them. I just made that up and that took off at SPU. Lick them, Bearcats. Somebody at church the other day was like, yeah, my son's a sophomore at SPU. And I was so close to going, oh, lick them. Lick'em Bearcats. Somebody at church the other day was like, yeah, my son's a sophomore at SPU, and I

was so close to going, oh, lick'em! Lick'em! It was one of those things where I even thought about it. I calculated the risk in my head of like, she might get it, she might not. Lick'em's a pretty weird thing to say to somebody I don't know very well. I'm gonna scale back, but it was close.

It just makes sense. It feels like it should be the thing. Well, yeah, sick'em, you know, sick'em bears, lick'em Bearcats. close. It just makes sense. I feel like it should be the thing. Well, yeah. Sickum, you know, sick bears, bear cats. Yeah. Uh, gigum, gigum, frog, um, frog, uh, all the, all the Texas ones have them hook them. Yeah. Bear cats. Yeah. Uh, the one I remember me and my friend in college, Lewis Davis, we would come up with our own words and to try to use them among our friends, but we also submitted them to Urban Dictionary as like just our own words. The only one I can remember

right now is fast booking. We came up with that because Facebook was all the rage. That was by far the biggest social media when we were in college.

It was like, okay, I just met this guy at the cafeteria. It was nice to get to know him. I go back to my dorm room. He's already Facebook friend requested me.

Like, whoa, that's like, why did you do that so quickly? I got fast booked. Is that, you think it's still in there requested me like, Whoa, that's like, why did you do that so quickly? I got fast booked. Is that, you think it's still in there? Sure. Really fast booking urban dictionary. I mean, one that we did with a pickleball was laugh, laugh him up. Yeah. We kind of, I mean, we, we still say that I was gonna say, yes, God, he loved me. Like, uh, yeah. The action taken in which one already receives a Facebook friend request

seemingly before the sentence pleasure to meet you is completed. This was in January 23 of 2020, 2012. Wow. Yeah. That checks out. I wish we could see more words submitted. Oh wait, there it is by this username. Dang.

It only says one definition by old two to one. Bryce, this is the sample dialogue. Bryce, dude, I just met that cute chick Kelsey at the party the other day. Next thing you know, I get fast booked. Came home that same night to a friend request. Noah, mad fast booking indeed, my man. Wasn't that party upstairs?

Oh, that's other, also clicked. Bryce, exactly, bro. That's funny. You think this was yours? We were just using our own friend. Yeah, yeah. We had a friend named Bryce who had a crush on a girl named Kelsey. We also had a friend named Noah. exactly bro that's funny this was yours we were just using our own friend yeah yeah this is not but we had a friend named bryce who had a crush on a girl named kelsey and we also had a friend named noah so yeah i think it that probably just actually happened that's funny anyway fast booking

you got any timing you guys you guys say anything in your friend group i don't know i i'm so bad at thinking things on top of my head i know i didn I didn't know if you did. Yeah, just lighting. Yeah. Just thinking about the lighting. That's okay. That was fun. Thank you for the voice memos. Feel free to send over more. I think we might start doing these a little more.

Yeah. Oh, wait. We were going to do schmores. Oh, yeah. Let's do a quick one to wrap it up. Yeah, we're doing the schmores of months. Well, let's talk about, I think we need to talk about Main Street Roasters real quick, don't we? Main Street Roasters. Schmores brought to you by Main Street Roasters. Bingo, bango, bongo.

Schmores brought to you by Main Street Roasters. Bingo, bango, bongo. Yeah. I mean, we've talked about them throughout the episode. Yes. Actually, can we do comment of the week? Because my comment of the week is based around and brought to you by Main Street Roasters. Let me pull it up while you pull up yours. And Timon tells us about some vernacular that he

uses. I've got my comment of the week. You want me to just do this one? From Micah Stelling. Always leave in comments. Faithful, faithful fan. You're the best. This is a kind of shout out to Timon. He said, one of my favorite games is trying to pause right when the edit comes to take out the song.

In parentheses, respect the monetization. And boy, does Timon make it worth it. Just so I can read his silly edit notes. He really knows how to rendle my weaver each time it'll be a day of mourning if when he ever moves on to bigger and better things so yeah the little things mike is appreciating him mike very much thank you yeah just to um i don't know calm your nerves calm your anxiety a little bit with that we have signed time into a 10-year guaranteed deal yes um so he is with us, right? Is it 10 or 11?

I think it was lifetime, like the good writers. Yeah, just like lifetime. Yeah, just like good writers. Right. Mine, my comment of the week is Hectoria, Hectoria. What? Heather Victoria Hoon says, driving into work this morning, this is on our Facebook group, driving into work this morning, listening to Monday's episode when I innocently took

a sip of my coffee at the exact moment Jake made a joke. A joke? I then uncontrollably spit coffee all over my lap and my steering wheel from laughing. Man, I wish we could see things like that. That'd be so fun. I know. To see someone spit out their coffee at a joke we said. Lesson learned.

No liquids while listening to the Ghostrunners. Have a great day, ghosties. That's fun. And here's a follow-up comment from Josh Buckland. I'm just now reading this. I was just, I was trying to drive when listening to the podcast recently where they joked about the weird old lady who read things as she was giving gifts. And I think it was Brad and time and who were like, it's shaking her bed and she's still not awake. A tornado. She's still hanging

on. Oh, sorry. It doesn't sound as funny when you read it. I don't even know what you're talking about. It was the, uh, one of the, like the tick tock lives, like, uh, Oh yeah. Like donate me up kind of thing.

Um, yeah, that's pretty funny. Anyway, Heather, Victoria, who sounds like she got coffee on her, uh,

clothes, her blouse. I don't know if it's guaranteed, but I think main street roasters makes a non staining coffee, uh, that you can get. It's clear. Um if it's guaranteed, but I think Main Street Roasters makes a non-staining coffee that you can get. It's clear. It's pre-beans, and so it's just water. Yeah, comes in any temperature.

Yeah, it does. For MainStreetRoasters.com, they will sell you that if you use promo code GRKC, you can get 10% off that pre-beans. Pre-beans, stain-free coffee. Yes. They also have post-bean coffee. They also have current just beans.

And I would recommend the beans. Yeah. Specifically, personally. But yeah. Check them out. Check out Main Street Roasters as always. And check out GhostRangers.life if you want some new clothes, Heather. It sounds like you need some.

Ooh, there you go. We have some new designs just for you. Schmores, brought to you by Macy Roasters. Okay, last, well, I guess Monday's Schmores was berries, which I'm going to go ahead and say I didn't win that. I hope you did. Just the ghostiest surprises ever was. So I won't pick the order.

Ty, will you pick again? Ty is probably going to win. But you can't pick Brad, Ty, and Jake. You have to do a new order brad what if can i as the person picking grant you the ability to pick oh sure i pick brad jake time and hope you regret that forever um yeah no thanks uh i don't think i would want the first pick in this one oh yeah i'm gonna have no nothing like based on anything. I'm just going to... I've got a whole list. I think it's very clear-cut

the list here. Yeah, I got like 11, 12 answers on my list. Tell them the category. No, we haven't said it yet. The category is months. Months of the year. Months of the year. This was an idea from a ghostie, actually. Can't remember your name

off the top of my head right now. I'm going to figure it out after I choose my first month. I'm going to go with Taylor. It's not Taylor. Not even close. Dang, I can't remember off the top of my head. I'm sorry. Michael? I'll figure it out. His last name is like Shiverini or something cool.

My first pick and this is hard. You're right. There's no great answer here, but I'm going to go with the month of July as my first pick. Dang it. I. You're right. There's no great answer here, but I'm going to go with the month of July as my first pick. Dang it. I didn't think you would choose that one first. Yeah. I mean, 4th of July, I think, I think there's other great months, but July is pretty consistently a great weather month. It's sunny. People are outside. There's liveliness in the air. There's just, there's literally a song. John Mayer says a little bit of summers makes the whole year is what the whole year is all about.

I think. Yeah. A little bit of summers. What the whole year is all about. He's talking about July, not, not June, not,

not may, not August. Okay. So that's my first pick for July. Just baseball, clean cut grass. The grass is still green. Try. I, I don't have any song lyrics to go with mine,

but I'm going to choose August. It is my birthday month. It is during my birthday. It's when you were given Madden because football season is pretty much here. Is that right? You're going to get Madden in August. It's going to be my birthday party,

which a lot of you guys have been to now. They're fun. They're really fun. You do like a Comedy Central roast during August. It's going to be my birthday party, which a lot of you guys have been to now. They're fun. They're really fun. You do like a Comedy Central roast during them. And then also school is here, which. That's a hot take. That's a controversial take. Yeah.

Woof. That's. That's my negative for August. Same. August is my pick. It's fun time. Hey, who's class reminding this year? Hey, who's got the same classes?

Remember that? That was a very fun time. Like comparing class schedules, comparing teachers. Was your middle school small enough where you had, did you guys have teams? Teams? So we were the Jags. So we had J, A, and G team. Oh, wow.

And then we were also. Like for sports? No, sorry. For like, like all of the G team had the same English teacher. And so then it's like, I'm on G team. You are too. Okay. Okay. What hour do you have English? Fourth dude, fourth, me too. G unit. Yeah. You like posted on your, we actually did say G unit. I mean, that was definitely the height of G unit.

We post on our way message, you know, on AIM, like your schedule. G unit. Yeah. No of the day you get it. We also had colors for like seventh grade. I think it was gray team, blue team, red team. Gray team would suck. I was on the gray team. Dang. It was all right.

But you had to say I'm on gray team. It was all right. The Angelo Martin of teams. A lot of exciting things going off in August. Yeah. It's still hot out too. Still hot out. Some might say a little too hot. Not for me. Okay. It's hot. It's still hot out, too. Some might say a little too hot.

Not for me. It's hot. It's summer. It's awesome. Time in two in a row. We're running out of summer months, so I'm going to say June. Summer. Kind of like rising up to the peak of summer. I feel like August is the peak.

July is probably the peak. That's right. June is so forgettable timing i mean why father's day june is the scotty pippen to july's michael jordan it's a good month and it's a solid month but it's like oh i think you make the argument june is when summer's finally here this is what you've been waiting on and then then you experience July and you're like, oh, I forgot about June. June might not be as like... That's exactly, that's literally the Scottie Pippen,

Michael Jordan. June might not be like painfully hot. You know, July might be more like... True. More hot. Yeah, there's June. Yeah, yeah, yeah. That's a good third pick.

I'll say December. Yeah, yeah. I was hoping it made it back to me no way i almost picked december first honestly good answer uh how come uh christmas oh it's that makes sense yeah it's like before you're like uh you might be but i feel like december you're still willing to like let winter keep going but by january you're like i want to be done with winter so bad. Yeah. Hope you don't pick January later. For me, anyway. Well, January is when school comes back, so you'd love it. I think there's argument to be made.

Oh, hey. Hey, hey. Go ahead. Pick it. I dare you. Not going to pick it yet. I'm going to go. Next is September.

Good. Fall is here. Football is here. Okay. Labor Day weekend is here. A lot of fun things to celebrate in September. Okay. My sister's birthday. 9 is here. Football is here. Okay. Labor Day weekend is here. A lot of fun things to celebrate in September. Okay. My sister's birthday, 9-11.

All those things. The song, Wake Me Up When September Ends. Oh, that's the song you think of? The 23rd night of September. Yeah, I was going to say, that's the, that's the one I think of. Bada bing, bada boom. Good. Thanks.

September is a good month. Cause of football. Yeah. Um, all right. Get to here. Um, I'm going to go November first and foremost. Whoa,

that is way down on my list. I love November. I love November. Let me say it one more time. I love November. I mean, it's got one of the best holidays in it. I love Thanksgiving.

Everyone loves Thanksgiving. Think of all the Thanksgiving songs that are out there. Jingle Bells was originally a Thanksgiving song, so. There's no bells in Thanksgiving. Excuse me? There's no jingle bells? No. It's on a sleigh that you're going to Thanksgiving.

They're talking about going to Thanksgiving. They are. Look it up. Time it. Look up Jingle Bells Thanksgiving song. See what happens. Ben Rector has a Thanksgiving song, and it makes me cry. All right?

That is your problem. It was originally written to be sung by a Sunday school choir for Thanksgiving or as a drinking song. A little bit of both. That's what Thanksgiving is all about. Sunday school drinking song. I think Thanksgiving, it's the height of football season. It is crisp, but not cold yet, which is awesome.

Bonfire season. Pumpkin spice lattes actually taste better in November. My birthday. Fall break. Other things. All right. And my third pick is going to be. Let's go may let's go may i think um i mean there's a lot of good months out there but may is a little bit of a wild card it doesn't feel like it's always great weather but i mean spring I mean, spring is sprunging in May. Mm-hmm. So.

May it is. May flowers, you know, we wouldn't have America if it weren't for May flowers. May flowers. Yeah. So. This is where it gets a little tricky. A couple good ones out there still. I'm going to go with April.

Good. I don't think I realized, like, my last pick is going to be the one that I'm given. Yeah. You know, I was like, maybe I'll get October on the way back. Yeah. You don't have to choose. Okay. April, April. I feel like it's just the next warmest month available. Like, you know, just like April is like, Hey, I think I can golf in my golf polo. Now. I don't think I need a quarter zip anymore. You might have, you know, if you live kind of in the Midwest where you live. So April's the start of like spring like march you're trying to convince yourself it's spring but it could still snow in march we're like oh yeah march in the midwest is

not it's really not that warm for most of it but april's like all right spring is here right easter is here start getting your spring colors out pastels aplenty okay like april's really the turning like you come out of like the seasonal depression a little bit. Like April's here. Let's do this. Green. Sometimes Easter's in May. Just FYI. Rarely. Rarely. But just saying. Rarely. You don't get Easter if you do April.

Baseball, opening day, always in April. Okay. Also, that's when you get MVP baseball if you're on the same cycle that I am on as a middle schooler. Nice. MVP baseball is a video game timing. Yeah. Daryl strawberry.

Cool. Berry bonds. One of the best berries. Um, okay. There are so many obvious picks left. Um, I'm going to take October.

Sure. But not for any really specific reason. I don't care for Halloween. I don't, there Halloween. I don't. There's not like, oh, my brother's birthday. Jesse. Oh, yeah. You know.

Do you know all your siblings' birthdays? Like, Nate. Yeah, Nate. He's a smart kid. I do. Want me to go through them? Yeah, actually. Okay.

Anna, April 2nd. Going years, too? Good month. No. You know years? I bet I can. No, don't do that. It's going to take too long.

It's not going to be good podcasting content. This is going to be good though. Anna, April 2nd. Me, May 15th. Jesse, October 18th. Alice, March 18th. I've met all those so far. That's kind of fun.

Mylon, May 20... Okay, wait. Uh-oh. This is where I get confused. Mylon, if you're listening... Is Christmas on the... This Christmas is the 25th, right? Well, it depends you're listening. Is Christmas on the 25th, right? Well, it depends on the year.

Is Christmas on the 25th? It's the fourth Sunday of every year. I only get this confused. It's the fourth Sunday, so sometimes it's the 25th, but it's not always. Yeah, not always. Okay, well, Mylon, May 25th.

Do you believe that? Time it! I don't know. It's like the most popular day of the year. I genuinely... This is the thing. Okay, well, I'm trying to figure out my own. Okay, whatever. I was genuinely just thinking about...

But also, I genuinely do get it confused because Mylon is the 26th, and sometimes I think I know 26 is important. Okay, that's a big day. Because... So you're confused on... Something happens on the 26th. Boxing day, Canada.

Mylon, May 26th. Jonas, May 19th. May 26th? Hold on, which month is Mylon born in? May. I was... December. It's just simply the number.

25th or 26th. Okay, you just know 25 is important, 26 is important. Yes. Gotcha, gotcha. Interesting. Yeah. We never celebrate Christmas always on the exact day. Sure.

I can see why that's confusing. So anyway, yeah, Mylon, it's May 26th. Jonas, May 19th. Lydia, September 18th. Zoe, June 19th. Boom. That's everyone. Interesting.

A lot of middle. And then my mom and dad's mom, July 3rd. Dad, November 2nd. Dad, November. I could just tell. I could tell. Brandon. Brandon has that November B-Day. Good, November. I could just tell. I could tell. Brandon? Brandon has that November

B-Day. Good for him. Okay. And then I also have another month to pick. Well, of course this ended up happening. I'm going January. Oh yeah, because of school. New year and it's... Dang. Yeah. It's January.

You're kind of sad about it. I don't have a lot of good reasons. Yeah, it's January. You're kind of sad about it. I don't have a lot of great reasons. Yeah, it's January. You guys know January. It's like cold, but like sometimes you still celebrate a little bit of Christmas in January. Yeah, many years we've been with extended families celebrating Christmas in January. Or you still have your Christmas money to spend. You're enjoying Christmas gifts that you just got.

Yeah, there's some arguments for January. There's a lot of federal holidays in January. I feel like you get a lot of off time. Not only are you still off from Christmas, but I think Presidents Day and MLK are in January. A lot of 3A weekends in January. Yeah, there you go. I can't believe I get this with my last pick. March!

It's still out there. March Madness? Spring Break? Yeah, time and drop the ball that he's never bounced before. He never really had a spring break before. Oh, time and drop the ball. That he's never bounced before. He never really had a spring break before. Oh, that's a good point. I mean, I don't... Yeah, you do Christmas break like in the middle of April or something.

I don't know when it is this year. I don't know, yeah. Yeah, March is a great fourth pick. Yeah, March Madness. Ghosties, if you don't let Jake run away with this pick, then I don't know if I believe in you anymore. I don't deserve to win this for not knowing when Christmas is. I already thought

I was like, the title of this episode is going to be, when is Christmas? When is Christmas this year? So yeah, March, final pick. Brad, which one are you going with? I'm going to go with February, because F12 happened in February. It was the best time of our lives. Why did we choose February for F12? Because it was the worst month, and we wanted it to be a good month. It is absolutely the worst. I, I, I should have

been thinking about this more of like, I should not have chosen first. Cause then I would have had the last pick at February. It's February. Yeah. There's a reason it's the shortest month and it's still the worst month. Yeah. It's like, yeah. All those things that time was saying about December being like, it's okay. it's cold because Christmas is coming up. You don't feel that with February at all. Long gone. Can't wait for March and April. It's like the sports are not as exciting.

It's college basketball, I guess. Super Bowl, I guess. Yeah, but usually your team's not in it. Wait. Oh, wait. Three out of four years. Wait. They've won it two out of three?

Wait. Been in it three out of four wait a funny thing that reminds me that um tim and rachel wait a little uh inside recurring joke they do is like when something happens like i mean something very inconsequential like oh um i don't know i'm trying to think of those menial like tiniest thing like why don't we why don't we just hang out now we'll play pickleball later if that's okay with everybody they'll do like really loud gulps oh yeah i've seen you do that i feel like they're stressed yeah yeah i can't help it rachel does it all the time. Just like, would it be okay if instead of Hawaiian Braves we get canes?
