Happy Wednesday, everybody. Welcome back to Ghostrunners podcast. Jake, are you on the Facebook group? Are you part of that? Which one? The one that you're an admin for? Ghostrunners podcast? Yeah. Yeah. I love that one. Okay. So you're in it. So Paige Cuco, shout out, posted the screenshot of her conversation, text conversation with her dad who uses, has a green text box, which is fine, daddy. And it's all about like the screenshot is her, like her dad being confused about what the ghost runners is. And you know, all these different things talking about like watching Taylor Swift, Travis Kelsey, all this stuff. But the thing that really stuck out to me and she even circled it. So it really, like I literally saw my eyes go to this was that,

uh, Paige Cuco, um, married mom of two, uh, in her phone, her dad's contact is just daddy. And I don't know officially,

like socially, like where the cutoff is for when, when it's socially acceptable to put daddy in your phone. But I think, I think she's passed it. True or false? Some people would argue the best time to never do it. Okay.

Some people would say that. Yeah. I think if your body is capable of making you a mommy, no one in your phone could be named daddy. Okay. That's good. I read that in my health textbook. So that's what the science says.

That's what Mrs. Baxter told you. Yeah. Mrs. Baxter. I mean, Hattie calls me daddy. I almost said Catherine. That's weird. Look. Listen.

And I think it's sweet. It's fine when Catherine does it. But you know what? Hattie also puts her, you know, S is backwards sometimes when she writes, so I think that's okay. But once you're legible in your handwriting, I think daddy's out the window.

Yeah, once you're of like, yeah, it's like two of the five. One, legible handwriting. Okay. Two, child rearing age. Yeah. Is rearing the right? One, legible handwriting. Two, child rearing age. Is rearing the right? It didn't feel right.

It's because it comes out your rear. That's why they say that. Well, it would be called... Alright. Three, you... Let's see. I got another. Okay. That's how I feel all the time. It's like, uh, yeah, I thought I would, I thought it would come to me. I really got caught up with some rear jokes and I was like, I'm stuck. Um, three, you are not on their health insurance

anymore. That's a, that's a non-negotiosh. Yeah, that's true. Like you are legally not allowed to be on their health insurance. Like, you know, those first two, like maybe you're just not good at writing, you know, Missouri education, and then whatever, some of those. On their health insurance, yeah, go ahead, four? Four.

You are still, you have moved on, you pick out your own outfits from now on. So I'd be willing to grant, hey, if you're 35, and, you know, mama and papa are still picking out your own outfits from now on. So I'd be willing to grant if you're 35 and mama and papa are still picking out your outfits, you can still call them daddy because you are acting like a child. Five,

you are a fan of our podcast and you have bought more merch than probably anybody ever. So you get a pass. Yeah. Ghost Brothers Podcast. Every Monday morning, we're taking round. Ghost Brothers Podcast. Ghost Brothers Podcast. All right, welcome back to episode 269 of the Ghost Brothers Podcast, presented by Good

Ranchers, American Meat Delivered. Jake, I think it's going to be a prescient podcast. The old prescient. Oh. Yeah. The fertile prescient. Why do Yeah. The fertile prescient. Why do you say that word? From mesothelioma.

We have a few words from the ghosties that we're trying to throw in there, you know, throughout the podcast. If you're on the Facebook group, you know about it. Or if you listen to Monday's episode. Yeah, see if you can figure out which words are being thrown in.

Yeah, like which word is us and which word is just poppycock. So let us know. Don't undulate too long on it. Don't you dare. All right. I got to space this out a little more. Applesauce unequivocally tomfoolery. What?

What's up? Just thinking of words. Onset quitters. Are you guys familiar with what's happening? So it's time we're recording this. It's Wednesday, October 4th. Do you guys know what's happening in like an hour and a half? Yes.

What? Stop. It's tech time with time in. Oh, Apple? Phones. Wait, what do you think about Apple? Is it like, is october when they always come out with new stuff no they already came out with it or i mean yeah there might be like new like

computers yeah go ahead okay so i think is it 1 20 p.m i think everyone in america i don't know much about this but everyone's gonna get a notification Do you know what that is, Brad? So think of a desk. Yeah, yeah, no, this is good. Put it in ways he would understand it. Yeah, so when you're... I was just staring blankly at time for so long. It made him uncomfortable.

A notification from who? From FEMA, I think. It's like an emergency alert thing. I think everybody's getting a phone call at like 1 central today. Oh, I saw something about that. Okay. We're all getting phone calls? I heard it's like more of a phone call.

I was thinking more of like an alarm or like a timer. It's like your phone is just like ringing in some way. Yeah, sure. I think it might ring. I don't think there's going to be anyone on the other line. Yeah. But I think it's like a annoying. Everyone in America. Yeah.

In America, not the world. Well, I don't know. Okay. But at least America. Okay. I bet it's probably just America. I think it's like our emergency alert system. This is not an Apple thing.

This is a phone thing. Okay. Yeah. I've been seeing people like talk about like, there's some people who are like cheating on their wives or husbands and they have like a second phone. Like they're about to be found out right now. Like anyone in like those kinds of scenarios, drug dealers, like every prisoner who's got a, you know, a phone they stuck in. They're in for, you know, not good times. Because it's going to make noise.

It's not just going to vibrate. Yes. I was also hearing SpinZone, as far as like having a second phone, there might be some people who are in like potentially like abusive relationships who need a second phone

and are like trying to get help and seek help. And so I've been seeing like resources like, hey, if you turn your phone off an hour before the emergency alert system, it won't go off. Or maybe if you wait an hour afterwards, something like that.

There's like these ways to get around it. Okay. Who knows? I mean, if any of that's true or not. Wow. Like most people with a second phone are not like upstanding citizens, but hey.

Yeah. Some people just corporate guys that just have a corporate phone and a non-corporate phone. Just business phone. Those people are going to be exposed just have a corporate phone and a non-corporate phone. Just business phone. Those people are going to be exposed. Yes. Oh, yeah.

Interesting. So that's going on today. Maybe while we're still recording this. Just because it's testing it. Like just a test. This has been a test of your emergency preparedness system. Yeah. And I don't know what, I guess, like what scenarios would we need to call everyone in America at the same time?

Nukes. I got one word for you. Yeah. Frigging nukes? Proxy mines? Meteor or something. Meteor. Ah, meteor.

Yep. Those countrywide meteors. But then again, well, I mean, what do we do? Like, hey, heads up. You'd hunker down. You'd hunker down. You think we'd go lower? Oh, yeah.

We'd hunker down. I think I'd get up higher. What? Why? I'm a pilot now we'll talk about that on the podcast that we gotta talk about i'll go up in the air 100 i go up there i don't go further into the crust oh man i don't know i might hunker what right now you get it hey meteor is coming in three hours you tell me you can get up in the air in three hours? I would need a little bit of a heads up.

Three hours is a little bit of a heads up, Jake. No, I'm saying I gave you enough. Three hours is plenty. Well, you can't just surprise me. I was thinking like a heads up on other people because I think for the right price, I could bribe someone and be like, hey, what's it going to take to get this bird up?

But if everyone else is freaking out, I don't think, you know, now all of a sudden, they're like, no, I mean, there's millionaires. Right. Sorry, Tymon. Who are going to pay me more. Ah, millionaires. I'm not hearing it.

A thousandaires. It's just like 14,000. Right. A thousand thousandaires. It's just like 14,000. Right. A thousand thousand airs. So, okay. How would you, you three-hour heads up. I would hunker, dude. In your own basement?

Yes. We got a great concrete down there. I might take my chances convincing a pilot to take me up. Maybe I'll fight a well and just hunker down in the well. I mean, I think. How big is the well? I think it's just a matter of getting somewhere. I mean, there's no way a basement is going to do anything

if it's like a meteor, right? That's what I'm saying. Like you see the meteors, they just kind of skid. They kind of skid, dude. Right? They're skidders. Like God is like skipping rocks. I'm going to try to get six on this one.

And he lights the rock on fire first. I saw a, you know something like facebook is it's just getting worse and worse and worse and worse tom talk to me my thing that i saw is just like um kind of a funny image so it's like this picture of this crater in arizona new mexico or something and the caption is so what i was gonna say facebook is starting to suggest you so much content from pages that you don't follow it's weird and it's getting out of hand it's really weird it's like getting crazy like do you ever get like local like things from other markets i know that's that's really vague but do you know what i'm saying not really i get like i don't know

like viral type content like this is like uh i don't know let's just get on facebook well let me focus what this image was was a crater in arizona and the captain was like crazy that the crater happened to just barely miss the visitor center so kind of just like funny haha like obviously they put the visitor center in there once there's a crater to see and every comment is like uh meteor came first uh yeah you don't think the meteor landed there first uh they put the visitor center in afterwards uh who wrote this uh god bless whoever wrote this yeah idiot um so that's annoying i'm trying to find a good example of what i'm talking about but i can't right now but like'll be like, it'll be like some meme, maybe this, I don't know. I mean, some meme from like Scottsdale, like Scottsdale golf club, or not

even that, not even golf. It's like something really random. And I'm like, I don't know how they thought that that was relevant to me right now. I would say that. So I just got on my Facebook and this is from a page called war history online. Yes. What have I done to deserve that? Exactly. And it's just like, uh, landing ships ashore on Omaha beach, mid June,

1944 versus the scene from saving private Ryan. So it's like kind of a cool image. I won't lie. A lot of times it is kind of like, that's like, okay, you're, you're,

you got me a little bit. It's like all of these, just like, I don't know what to call them. Like highly engaging images that these pages are posting. Yes. But Facebook has changed their algorithm. Now we're seeing it all the time. Hey, row back ad know what to call them, like highly engaging images that these pages are posting. Yes. But Facebook has changed their algorithm. Now we're seeing it all the time. Hey, Roback ad.

Shout out. Janelle Bunyal, shout out. Ghost Hunters podcast ads. A lot of pickleball ads. Dude, this is crazy. This is... There's one post in a row. Pickleball. Sports Illustrated. Don't follow that. Pickleball again. Three posts

in a row that I'm not asking for. Facebook's getting pickleball again. It's the three posts in a row like that. I'm not asking for it's right. Facebook's getting out of hand. It is. It's, it's like one normal post. And then after that, now a golf sponsored post, honestly, it's a lot of things. Yeah. That aren't even like their ads. So many ads. I don't, I don't know, but Facebook group is fun. That's, that's the good stuff. Last thought this one, as I just continue to scroll, this next thing right underneath it is from a page called Mrs. Coffee. The caption says, dot, dot, dot.

This made me giggle. And it's a meme that says, live every day like your 2001 Nicole Kidman leaving her lawyer's office after divorcing Tom Cruise. That is so specific. That's it. And it's just like her her just like with her hands up that is so off of what you are wanting to see yeah that i would i would not call that highly

engaging that is anyway facebook is just weird now uh but craters that's i was gonna just talk about craters i would hunker down i think um i don't know Do you see that movie? The, I think Leo was in it kind of recently and it was about, it was supposed to be kind of this COVID parallel where like, we know the meteors coming or not. I think you should leave. That's like the sketch comedy. Yeah, you're right.

Uh, what was it called? People are going to be yelling at their, yeah, they know it. Cause there was that song. Welcome to New York. Leo?

No, no, no. Don't look it up. We're going to figure it out. It's so frustrating for people who know. Well, I know. I'm going to get it. Okay, get it. Okay.

Don't look up. Wow. Boom! I told you I would get it. You did get it. I know I would get it. I feel like don't look up, when I watched that movie, they're talking like this meteor is just going to cripple society.

So that's why I'm like, get up in the air. Get away from this. Earth is just going to crumble. Where are you going? I don't know where I'll land, but I have a lot of options. Where? What are your options? Like upturned basements that have like killed people literally

where are you going to land your plane that's what i'm saying on the earth where there's like a nice spot like oh we got lucky here's a little strip i'm glad i didn't i'm glad i didn't like hunker down in all the areas around it because that's the only spot available right there and there's brad no uh your basement was not part no unfortunately no it's just the field next to it hey but that's maybe i'll land in zimbabwe oh oh gosh oh yeah i forgot about that maybe i'll toot um because i'm so scared that's hilarious that someone said you have to say too um okay that's meteors kieran kieran lenehan nightcrawler oh do you know about this yeah okay that's pretty funny um the jake gyllenhaal movie yes yes absolutely so i flew a plane this weekend uh there was a ghosty named nick he also listens to correct opinions he called into correct opinions

like a week or two ago and i was like hey, when you guys come to Charleston, I'm a licensed pilot. We'd love to take you guys in the air. Trey's like, there's no way I'm doing that. I was like, I'll do it. There's no way I'm doing that? Yeah. Too scared? Yeah, I think he's not really like a thrill seeker. Also, Trey's a bit claustrophobic too, and this thing was small little bird. Yeah. Do you like calling

it bird now? Yeah. You feel like you earned the right, like I can call it a bird. I dove headfirst into pilot talk talk right away did you have a call sign uh ricky tiki tombo okay and uh i mean nick was i'm kind of speeding ahead but nick was like on the headset saying all stuff and he's using the word squawk a lot i really liked the term squawk i really gravitated towards that what does that mean i don't know but I feel like it goes in line with bird. Yeah. He didn't say fundus, parabola.

He didn't say any of those. Okay. He was just like, all right, six, six, five, zero Lima alpha squawking lip.

You know, like that's fun. Cause he's talking to the air traffic control. Okay. Yeah. So I don't know. I still don't know what squawk means, but I was using it in conversation a lot.

And yeah, Nick's the man. It was really fun. He just like picked us up at the bus, went through Chipotle, went to the airport, and pretty easy. We're just like on the tarmac, just walking around,

no security, nothing. Really? Just with Nick, got a pair of headphones, and I sit in the driver's seat he's sitting shotgun as far as i'm concerned and we're kind of pulling out of there and he's like you can steer it if you want and here's the throttle i was like oh my gosh okay well that's kind of fun i wasn't expecting this and then you just go nuts and just let's see what yeah and then we kind of

gear up we're like all right it's our turn he He's like, you want to take off? And I was like, sure. I don't see why not. He's like, it's not that hard. He's like, all right. And as we're doing it, he's teaching me. He's like, all right, so go ahead and just put the trowel down. We want to go to about a hundred percent. Once you get to 70 knots, you want to start lifting back on this and you don't need to lift it super far back. Just lift it straight up. And he was right. It is really easy to take off a plane. I was just thinking, like, I feel like some people that are like so used to something think it's easy, but really it's like, no,

you're just, you're just done a million times. Like, no, it's really like, it's super like you should be fine. Everyone, most people can do it. It's really easy. Squawk up down, left, left, right to right, center, center. Yeah, yeah, yeah. There were a lot. You've played Star Fox before, right? It's very technical. Obviously all the checks and the stuff he had to go through

and all the switches he's got to do. I mean, obviously, I don't know all that. But then once he got it all ready for me, pretty easy to take off. At the same time, I did feel like there could have been a part of this where he's treating me like a Make-A-Wish kid. And he's like, you're doing it, buddy. Yeah, he's like really...

You're flying. Because isn't it like both of them have controls? He has like a joystick as well. Yeah. He's like, yeah, good job. That was all you. Good job. Squeaky squawk. Was this like, did you ask him?

Is this his plane? Is this a rental thing that he has? Not real sure with the agreements they have going on, but I mean, he is like a, he's a flight instructor there. Oh, cool. And so I think he has an agreement. So it's even funny. He gets on air traffic controller. He's like, you know, yeah, he's talking to the

plane we're in. And then he's like, should be up for about an hour doing air work. I was like, I like that. Air work. Just doing some air work. Yep. And I asked about that. I was like, does that like a code for like we're screwing around? And he's like, basically it means like I would be up in the air, but I'm not going to be going directly towards an

airport. But don't worry about me. Air work can mean like maybe I'm taking pictures. Maybe I'm just flying around. Maybe we're just getting some hours in. Crop dusting. Yeah. Yeah. Cool.

Yeah, a bunch of pesticide in my cockpit. I mean, this airplane was so small. Like there's no cabin to it really. It's just the cockpit. Like if you, is it one of those things where like uh like if you were trying to fly somewhere would you have room for your luggage uh you'd have to just go like you could go duffel and lap and that's just the backseat there's four seats yeah okay you have to deal it man so this was you say this was south carolina yep charleston okay the

last day there it was fun yeah charlesteston's like on the water, right? Yes. We flew over the ocean. There's like these really nice golf courses. They used to do the PGA championship there. Kiowa flew over that. And yeah, flew over the venue we were performing at. It was a great day in Charleston.

We played pickleball earlier that day with some cool guys. And yeah, went straight from pickleball to flying an airplane to then NFL Sunday. Did a show. Great, great time. Living your life. We're starting to figure out life on tour i would say so buddy brother um what do you have i'm curious like so you said like the pga thing you flew over like do they have to get permission to do these things like did he did you hear him say like permission to permission to kiawaskwak yeah kind of though

like he was saying beforehand he was like it's so rare to see another airplane in the sky like you'd be shocked at how like uh like how open the skies are sure he was like it'll be it's unlikely we even see another plane the whole time we're flying around he's like but if you do see one i will probably see it but just like call it out make sure i see it too but never saw one yeah skies are open yeah that's interesting because like yeah i don't know obviously it's so much more detrimental if you get an accident in a plane and so uh i mean who didn't somebody where would you rather be in an accident airplane or basement oh never mind i

was thinking yeah um airplane uh one thing that was really impressive aside from like all the knowledge he has as a pilot um well two things one. One, he said he wanted to be a pilot since he was six years old, and now he's doing it. I was like, that's pretty sweet. How often do you end up doing the thing you wanted to be when you were six? How do you want to be a woodworker right now?

I don't know. I would, yeah, if this worked out for me, I would be playing professional baseball, basketball, and football right now. Yeah. That'd be difficult. But he's like, it just never changed. Wanted to be a pilot?

Now he's doing it. Good for him. The other thing that was the most impressive is so you have the headphones on the whole time because it is very loud in an airplane like this um and so we're just having a conversation among our own headphones and microphones but at the whole time you can hear air traffic control in the background but it's so quiet and i could be in the middle of a story talking loudly and he's like hold on uh six five zero lima alpha yeah we're just heading uh 24 not

whatever it's like dude how did you hear Like, how can you identify this like selective hearing? Yeah. That was crazy. It happened like three or four times. He does. Yeah. That's a pro, right? Yes. That's a pro. It was like, I can't even really hear them. And you know exactly what they're saying and what they asked if you're like ready to respond to them. Sure. You knew they were talking to you. It's like, maybe they said his name basically, you know, that's what he said. He's like, you just kind of learned to listen to those last three letters. They said zero, lima, alpha, and I knew. I was like, still, I was talking. That's crazy you heard that.

Yeah, it'd be like if you're talking and all of a sudden somebody says, Jake, Jake, Jake. Oh, I know to listen to that. Who's squawking? Yeah. I'm squawking here. I'm squawking here.

That's so cool, though. Did Isaac do anything goofy in the back? I will say I was. I'd be worried Isaac actually knocks him out or something. He's like, yeah, but you don't try to give him a high five and like actually punches him and like makes himself self or a subconscious.

And you know what I did think about till just now is like, if he got a nosebleed while we're up there, that would have been a bummer. Just all over this. Like, yeah, it was a brand new place. Like a year old plane.

It was like really nice. It was probably white. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. So we're light colors in there. But no, I think they'd get, I would be a little worried if Isaac was what flying,

like don't do anything. I mean, Isaac got the shakes. Yeah. That's too good. But yeah, it was fun. I'm a pilot now.

And yeah, Nick is the man. That sounds like it. He took me flying in a ghost hunter shirt. He's at the show at night. He brought two other ghosts. He's with him, Joe and David. Shout out you guys. Cool. That's man. That sounds like it. He took me flying in a Ghost Rider shirt. He's at the show tonight. He brought two other ghosts with him, Joe and David. Shout out you guys. Cool.

That's it. That's fun. How was, yeah. So Greenville. Greenville. Cool. Coolest city. Coolest city?

Rome. Coolest city. Munich. I don't know. Those are tough to compare. Jerusalem. I've never been there or performed there. Okay.

I'd love to perform in Jerusalem someday. That'd be fun. You never know. I think they speak a lot of English there. It could work. Yeah. But truly, because people love to ask, like, what's your favorite city you've been to? And you guys know, I'm a big, like, every city is kind of the same.

People are all kind of the same. That's my kind of philosophy on a lot of life. Greenville, however, though, was a little different. I feel like it's small, but it's cool. Okay. It would be like if a town the size of Lawrence or something probably was like really new and like really new. Yeah. Like had a really cool about downtown with nothing but new buildings and cool restaurants. And see, I like old stuff more than new stuff. Maybe you wouldn't like Greenville. I mean, I'm sure I would like it. Yeah.

But okay. It was just awesome. Just like such a clean downtown. Yeah, it was just awesome. Cool. And yeah, just love Greenville. I even said it on stage. It's like, I don't say this ever. I've never said this before.

It's one of the things I know. Greenville is awesome. Like you probably think I say it in every city. Like I didn't say it last night in Wilmington. Definitely didn't say it two nights ago in Baltimore. But Greenville is awesome like you probably think I say in every city like I didn't say last night in Wilmington definitely didn't say last two nights ago in Baltimore but Greenville is awesome cool that show was kind of funny though I had the office wine bottle moment happened while I was performing oh like where the tell time what that means so Daryl Strawberry is a guy who's in the office so they're all watching Andy's play and Michael drops like a bottle of wine and it's just going down the steps

in the auditorium. Oh, yeah. And it's just like clinking really loudly. So befuddled. And that, I don't know if it was a bottle of wine, but I think it had to have been something similar.

Like the pitch, the noise, the fact that it didn't ever break. Because I'm doing some crowd work and I kind of hear it. So then I'm just like, what we got going on back there? I thought it was like a cell phone chirping or something. And I was like, what's going on back there?

And you can just hear a clink, clink, clink, clink, clink. I'm like, oh my gosh, it's happening in real life. It's like that trend, the exploding bottles thing. Yeah. Oh yeah, yeah, yeah. I'm super up to date on stuff like that. That is just inconceivable that that happened. There you go, time.

That a boy. Sounds kind of fun greenville is awesome great city um but they all were they were all good shows the uh i think in wilmington i got all the boys together and we've never played pickleball on the road and alan alan to this day still plays two plays tennis twice a week loves tennis drills with people plays matches all the time like dude you would love pickleball. We haven't played it for two years. Finally played. Got Mikel to come out. Got Trey to

come out. Me, Isaac, and Alan. And took them to this center that has pickleball courts. And the nets were gone when we got there. What? There were no nets. No nets? So, luckily, it was next to, like, a Martin Luther King Jr. Rec Center. Like a YMCA kind of thing. Uh-huh. So, we go in there, nothing but senior citizens playing on the inside.

And so we just like make friends with them, play with them for a couple hours. It was really fun. And so it was a blast. Did you play like mixed? You and an old person versus another? Yeah, me and Ron played Isaac and Alan. Okay.

That was kind of fun. Yeah. But it was a good time. They also, it was a gym. So we played some basketball in there. It was a good time. We're leaving. We've had just a blast for two hours. We're outside waiting for a beautiful weather. Just the vibes are just so good. We're laughing. We're joking. We get in this Uber

and right away the vibe shifts because we're all crammed in this thing, this little car, and she's playing Piece by Piece by Kelly Clarkson, which if you heard it, it's like a very, it kind of sounds like a worship song. Okay.

It's just very slow, just not a lot of music. It's mainly just vocals. Okay. And I don't know what the song is about. A very emotional song. But yeah, very emotional.

Piece by Piece, someone like restored her faith, I think is the line. So like about someone special in her life. Okay. And so it's like, okay, this is kind of funny already um we're driving by um some house in wilmington mike helston shotgun just kind of like talking to us like dang these are some nice houses in wilmington like i wonder like i wonder how much these go for uber driver without skipping a beat to me he goes we're like what in the world she's like a ton okay yeah that's fine nice yeah yeah

i i would assume it's not one of those cities like you know like that you spend less money for the nice houses like oh so so this flows in line with capitalism? Uh-huh. Oh, it's one of those cities. Yeah. Okay, the nicer things are worth more. Yeah. Okay, interesting.

Mike Kell had some funny things to say that I don't want to repeat, but it was just like, all right, I wasn't saying I was going to buy it, but just like I was, you know, whatever. So then they start kind of arguing about like, Oh, wow. You know, I mean, it atlanta prices because that's where he lives now and she's like i bet it's more he's like get out of here it's not more than atlanta so they're going back and forth for a little bit they calm

down whatever that is such a uh oh sorry is there more a little bit but keep going well that's such a like thing that i think everybody loves to think, you know, your hometown is unique. Everyone loves to think like the prices of houses here have gone up way more like the last few years. Like you'd be surprised. You'd be surprised how much like more expensive it is now than it used to be. Yeah. Like this, it's kind of sneaky, like sneaky, expensive. Some of the like nicer houses, like the nicer houses here are expensive.

The thing is though, if you're going to move here, like the construction, there's tons of construction and the drivers around here, the drivers are good luck, but honestly, though, if you're going to move here like the construction, there's tons of construction and the drivers around here, the drivers are good wild, but honestly, honestly, it all makes up for it because we have the best tacos, our taco scene and our coffee scene and our micro brew scene and our barbecue scene and then the pizza scene and our sunset scene are incredible. Second to none, dude. I've always said there's nothing like a Wilmington sunset. With a taco in your street tacos, of course.

Oh, well, it's they're authentic. We have some food trucks around here. They're actually pretty cool. Food truck scene is insane. It's so funny. Like, like how ever, like, that's such a great, like that, that Mikel is like, well, Atlanta's crazy. And then she's like, no, there's no way it's that that michael is like well atlanta's crazy and that she's like no there's no way it's as much like and it's just one of those things where it's like everyone thinks like their their place is the most expensive like they think so many

things of where they grew up yeah uh how many people right now listening think that you grew up in the meth capital of the world yeah here's uh here's your what do they say on tiktok here's your sign here's here's your sign is what they said on tiktok here's your sign here's here's your sign is what they said on tiktok in 2002 yeah jeff foxworth yeah blue collar comedy tour whatever here here's the moment you realize your city is not the meth capital of the world i'm sorry yeah yeah meth capital of the world uh i mean welcome to san die. If you don't like the weather, wait five minutes. Everybody says that like, oh man, the weather here. That's just, that's, that's honestly just Detroit in the summer.

You never know. The nice thing about living where I lived is, uh, you get four seasons in four days. Yeah. State bird, the mosquito, right? Oh, there's nothing like Wisconsin Dells with the mosquitoes, man. There's nothing like them. It's just like everyone has mosquitoes, all right? I remember there was a kid in college.

It was Curtis. And he told us, and this is like before I'd even really identified this. I'm a freshman in college. So I still think I lived in the meth capital world. But I remember him trying to tell us that the best city in the world for sunsets was Marshfield,

Missouri. It was just like, dude, I mean, just objectively it's not, I mean, this is like a 30 a town off I-44 in Southwest Missouri. How do you even define what's a good place for sunsets?

Like the better view of the skyline? Cause what I think what makes the sunset beautiful is really the clouds. Like if there's no clouds there, they have nothing to reflect off of. It just doesn't look good. You get the same oranges every day at the same time of day. Whatever. So honestly, maybe he's honest.

Maybe the clouds at Marshfield are a little different. Right. It's just so funny. He's like, I don't think it's in Marshfield. I've never even seen a Marshfield sunset, but I doubt it. Ain't it just Marsh? A field of Marsh? I don't think so.

Who are you trying to kid there buddy uh anyway the rest of this exchange is uh so we we've settled down we're in the uber kind of um actually not really saying anything i think just like um just like most ubers you're kind of being silent or whatever and then uh let me pull up so basically then all of a sudden, so piece by piece is still playing, and then you kind of just hear from the driver's seat, piece by piece... Oh, she's singing? She restored my faith. Just like singing so emotionally,

and like way too loudly. Just like over, slowly starting to overtake the music, and like I feel like she's's moving her head a little bit. Oh, wow. She was feeling this. Yes. We're really feeling piece by piece.

So we're starting to get... Isaac and I are starting to get the giggles. Bad. And you're in the back seat where it's like she probably can't see us if she's not looking in the mirror. So just giggle silently. I'm looking outside like, these are nice houses.

Looking over there. And then Isaac's sitting behind me and then I could see him giggling and we're just like she's blaring piece by piece. Next song comes on drops of Jupiter. Dude, she starts singing it. Oh, Jupiter.

It's a good singer. No, not bad. Okay, but still just like way too loud. Yeah. So tell me tell me i can just so uncomfortable dude isaac's a big like make eye contact when he's laughing kind of guy so i could just imagine him looking at you being like dude we got a car and isaac's like i haven't had the giggles like that in a long time. She never addressed it? She never was like, yeah, I just like singing a lot?

No, she never did. It was just blaring. But I will give her... Two songs in a row, knew every word. I think this is a girl who knows the radio. Was it radio? Yeah, I think so. Just whatever comes on next. Good for her. It was like XM or something. Yeah, that was a wild ride. It's crazy how rare

it is to get a just normal Uber driver. I don't know where they find these people. You just never was a wild ride. It's crazy how rare it is to get a just normal Uber driver. Yeah. I don't know where they find these people. You just never get a normal one. It's so awesome. Yeah, right. That's fun. I don't know.

I'd be tempted to sing along. I'm surprised none of you guys just kind of embrace that aspect of it. Venus, blow your mind. Oh, fried deep fried chicken. Best friend always sticking up for you. And then we all look at each other. Even when you know you're wrong. That's so good, dude.

Yeah, that was a little piece of Wilmington. Love it. I have just a quick beef. Amazon, when they say that you can get it delivered today, do you ever get it today? Because I don't. Just did yesterday. Shut up, Tyman.

Golly. Did you really? Yeah. Dude, every time it's like, order it in the next three hours, you can get it today. And I'm like, sweet. I don't need it today.

But then I have that expectation of like, awesome. It's coming today. And I like track it on my phone and stuff. And yeah, it didn't come to the next day. I think the last time I tried to order something, there would be available today. It came the next day. Just don't say today. I'm so fine. Like Amazon prime, whenever they came out like two day delivery, that was mind boggling. Great. That was, that was excuse me that was egregious scrumptious i mean golden doodle type things you know um that they could undulate that so well i mean you could order halibut and get it two days later right you could order dvd of vegetales two days later um i am so tired of i don't think i've ever had it same day delivery.

And I don't, I just don't say it. Say, say maybe today, maybe you'll get it today. That's fine with me. But when you, when you set expectations, I'm disappointed. So just have that frustration. That's fair. I just discovered a frustration because I got a, I was on Facebook, on our Facebook group and I just got a comment. Well, first of all, the schmores from last week, I'm the only Swifty in the room. I'm getting destroyed. I'm in last place with the Taylor Swift.

Whoa, whoa, whoa. Who said Ty was on a huge Swifty? Anyway, go ahead. Tyman did. Tyman last week. And people have a right to their opinion. I can't believe we didn't see this song. I can't believe we didn't see this song.

Can anybody say anything good about Shake It Off? I did see someone commented, like, as a drummer, I'm so with time, and that is not a sick beat. It is a basic beat. But my frustration comes from someone being like, they didn't do this song, they didn't do this song, and I was like, I commented, like, hey, I'm a pop guy. I didn't choose that song because I only like the pop music.

And this person, I'm not going to say your name, but she says, but it's so good you should try lavender haze for midnights i think you'll like it it's the very first song on her latest album which is a pop album i've listened to the song 45 times in my life oh you like rock and roll acdc oh my gosh thank me later there's a song they have thank me later brother deep track back in black and if you don't if back in Black's not really your vibe, you shook me all night long,

whole different vibe. And then there's this song. It got famous when it was in Cars, Thunderstruck. Cars kind of put it on the map. I was just shocked to see that just now. Try Lavender Haze from Midnights. I'm a Swifty.

I know about the music. I just didn't choose it in the s'more. I didn't choose all too well 10-minute version in my s'mores. All right, I'm done. Tymon, have you ever heard Lavender Hayes? Yeah. I have not. I feel 11 turkeys creeping up on me.

Yes, that TikTok is so funny. Back in the day when I got a long list of ex-lovers, Starbucks lovers, someone took a video of turkeys crossing the street right during that line and captioned it of, how does it go again? 11 turkeys creeping up.

Yeah. Creeping up. 11 turkeys creeping up on me. What's it supposed to be? A lavender haze creeping up on me. She really adds an extra syllable in front of a lavender. A lavender. I feel a lavender.

It sounds like a lavender. Well, yeah. It's a lavender. Lavender. Haze. Lavender haze. Right. That's funny.

Eleven turkeys. Eleven turkeys. It's all cattywampus. Yeah. I mean, it's a tight race, and I will be truly bummed if I get edged out by time in this time, because I'm up right now in s'mores, and I don't know the last time. I need to look back and see the last time I won. I need to go look. I bet

it's been two months or more. I, you know, voted for myself, obviously, but maybe you should vote for time and just to push them over the edge. Oh my gosh. I mean, and out of all weeks to win, it's like I don't I don't want to win this week, you know, like

but anyway, that's that's parabolas for you. That's probably hey somewhat still new sponsor alert a pizza pizza just like that's great

you think it might be an oatmeal cream pie. It is. It's that shape. That took me a while. That was one of the words that I had to find. Shape. Oh, yeah. Gosh, that took me a while. That was one of the words that I had to find. Shape. Oh, you wanted me to say shape. You know, this bar, they're the same.

They both have. Circle thing. They're both, when they're rounded, you know. No. Geometric proportions. Consistencies around shapes. Shape, yeah. They're a circle shape, and I think that's fun.

Yeah, I can't hear, can't see. Can't hear, can't see. I went to the car wash the other day to wash Catherine's car after, you know, being in Branson and the country roads. And the car wash has been under new management for probably the last year. And I hadn't been there in a while because I used to have my old truck.

That was nice. Now I don't wash my truck ever. And it has gone downhill. And I'm like, like emotionally, like upset about it. What happened to this place? Seriously.

Seriously. I was just like this. I mean, back in the day, it was like run by like a bunch of retired men, like old men. And so it was like super sweet guys that were kind of men. Old retired. Yeah. Never agree. Just no, no, sorry, sorry, sorry. Keep going. Keep going. men like old men and so it was like super sweet guys that were excited to be there old retired

yeah that's never uh egregious no no sorry sorry keep going keep going scrumptious disestablishment whatarianism what's the name of the place uh the place over here i don't remember what it's called they change names when they change ownership uh they would yeah i know exactly and i mean it used to be like so clean everything this time i get up there and there's like a like whiteboard sign that just says right lane doesn't work or something like that and these guys are like over in the side like probably leagues playing in there yeah exactly and it was like these guys over on the side on their break like smoking cigarettes cigarettes cigarettes jake in this day and age use a vape come. Come on. Yeah. At least conceal it.

Um, and I mean just, yeah, there were just so many things about it. There were like, like there was like duct tape on the, uh, like one of the buttons. So you couldn't push it or something.

I'm like, what is happening here? The prices have gone up. Just everything about it. I was just like, I feel old because before it'd be like, whatever, I don't care about this.

Now I'm like, I have a passionate desire to never come back to this place and maybe even write them a little note before I do it. Look out. I'm taking my business somewhere else. It's clean. Yeah. I think we all will turn into that slowly and slowly. But I feel like, yeah, the older you get, the more of like what you're willing to put up with or the standards raise a little bit. It's like, yeah, whiteboard? Right. Come on. Show a little effort. A little effort. That's all it is. I just want quality.

I want, because I'm like, because now all of a sudden, oh, it's probably the exact same car wash inside, but in my head I'm like, well, it seems like they're probably not

maintaining the pistons as well. I bet they're not going to wash as well. And you know, all of a sudden like, the perception is down for me. Yeah. You ever go to a coffee shop? Well, anywhere. And the trash can's full or where you're putting your plates back.

Makes a big difference. 100% full. Hey, I see there's people back there not doing anything. Totally. Why aren't they doing this? Sure. That's old magic. Yeah. Put these people to work. Come on. You're paying them. We're only getting paid for it. Absolutely. Absolutely.

Speaking of coffee, I like good coffee. Put these people to work. Come on. You're paying them. We're only getting paid for it. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Absolutely. Sheesh. So speaking of coffee, I like good. Where are you going with this? I like Main Street Roasters coffee. Oh. Speaking of coffee shops. Oh, I see. Yeah.

Oh, okay. Do you guys like Main Street Roasters or have you not tried it yet? Because that's the only reason you wouldn't like it. So Main Street Roasters for me has become, uh, more than just a coffee brand. I, what Rachel and I will do is kind of a tradition. Hey Jake,

you're back from standup comedy. I say, not yet. Not yet. Yeah. I haven't had my afternoon coffee. I'm not drinking it. I've been on the road for a while.

I've just got out of a nasty couple airplanes. Yeah. I go to the shower. Yeah. Rachel brews about, um, 18 gallons worth of major roasters coffee good puts it in a large flower pot oh i stand in the shower i remove my clothes flower shower she yes it's her flower shower she will then pour the coffee flower pot onto me and i will shower in major roasters coffee sure that's how i'm using

it in my life yeah you guys use it however you want to. A few days later, there will be a weird Chick-fil-A guy that comes up to you like you smell, you smell good. What is that? And you're gonna be like, I mean, maybe it's my detergent. Maybe it's main street roasters, flower shower. I don't know. Check the bathroom. Yeah. How are you using it? And if you're using 18 cups worth, uh, 18 gallons, 18 gallons. Cause I take long showers. Yeah And if you're using 18 cups worth, 18 gallons worth. It was 18 gallons because I take long showers. Yeah. If you're using 18 gallons worth in the shower,

you're going to need a large quantity. Contact them. They will sell you as much as you want of this stuff. They will wholesale. They will private label. They'll just give you a couple of beans. Yeah. Ask for two beans and see what the price is.

Last week on the podcast, I think it was on the Wednesday episode. Uh, we talked about game shows. Yeah. I mean, it was Monday. Um, my friend from integrated, his name is Mark. Shout out Mark, Mark, uh, half baked ideas.o U. I was listening to the podcast and he texted me and he's like, if you want to get on Amazing Race,

my neighbors won the Amazing Race like five years ago. I think they could potentially have a hookup there. What? I said, dude, are you serious? I was like, that would be unbelievable. And we would be electric on that show. Oh my gosh. Because we don't

need to win we just need to make it somewhat far enough to really to be memorable yeah yeah 100 then you get invited back i mean uh the holderness family was on there yeah and they won did they really they won and they were not nearly as fun on the show as they are in their stuff like just because i think they were taking it pretty seriously and like i think we would still we would never lose the fun. Yeah. I think it'd be kind of, no offense to the Holderness family.

I, whatever. Kind of like how we play pickleball. It's like here to win a little bit, but also like crack as many jokes as possible. Yeah. Even, even when it's 10,

10, we're cracking jokes. Yeah. You know, 10, 10 ace. Good game guys. I'm a big,

good games guys. Right before the last shot. Good game guys. This is fun guys. This is fun guys. Thanks for coming. You're like down nine to 10. Good game, guys. I'm a big good games guys right before the last shot. Good game, guys. This is fun, guys. This is fun, guys. Thanks for coming. You're like down nine to 10. Good game, guys.

Just a matter of time. So anyway. That's fun. How fun would that be? I mean, how much of our time do you think, like what kind of time commitment do you think that is? I bet we're gone for like a month. You think?

I think at least. Yeah. But how cool would that be? Honestly honestly the more i think about it like yeah let's definitely use any connections we have but at the same time what if we just go for it let's just do a good audition tape kind of talk about who we are and the following we have i'm sure cbs would appreciate that that's got to go a little bit of a ways i bet the holders family has posted their audition tape somewhere yeah see what they did and we, yeah, we have these big accounts, and we don't even care about them. So we'll post as much as you want.

Yeah, exactly. Whatever you need, buddy. We'll post on Gingeware. It's all you want. Yeah. How cool would that be, though? And how memorable? That'd be so fun.

Yeah. Oh, we would. We would. America would love us. We would be the bells of the ball yeah i think so too we would get some pretty nasty hate comments yeah you know not everyone would think we're funny right that's part of it um but overall i think i think the mom in middle america would absolutely we'd be a sweetheart because that's who's still watching i feel like

it's our main demographic anyway 100 oh and i would love to do yeah i could just see it now we would do like bonus challenges. Like, all right, you got to get to the other side of town and you got to bike there. Yeah. Like I want to bike there, but I'm also going to acquire

some local fruit along the way. I want to have some fun, funny conversations on camera. Like you're going to make some puns along the way. Like you're going to be so funny or I want to bike there, but I'm going to sing ACDC songs the entire time. Yeah.

The lavender haze. Yeah. Just anything that, to make it just extra fun. Just like you're fighting for the entire time. Yeah, the Lavender Haze. Yeah, just anything to make it just extra fun. Just like, you're fighting for camera time. Just try as much as possible. Yeah. Oh, we'd be good. We'd be so fun. Oh my gosh. That would be fun. That'd be great. If we had

to bring time along with this. Hey, our producer needs to be there. We'd have like, yeah, we'd have like a tandem bicycle with a sidecar on it. Time would just be in the sidecar. I'm just in like a basket in the front.car time would just be in the sidecar i'm just in like a basket in the front yeah jake would do all the flying uh challenges yes you do the more grounded ones uh who do you think would be better as far as like eating nasty stuff not me not me like i think do you think you know what i could see i think you might have a little bit more

mental edge in that like maybe maybe here's the first thing i thought of was like all right roadblock one of you has to eat the cow brain what i could see as being like hey we can't decide let's just both do it yeah that'd be fun hey isn't it cool both of us just do it there's no way we get in last place phil comes up to us You've been the last team. You're eliminated. He wouldn't say you're eliminated. He's like, you guys both did the cow brain. Yeah.

This is not elimination. Elimination. Yeah. It'd be like, oh, oh, God. But you will have a detour in the next, whatever. That's okay. That's okay, Phil. That's okay.

I just, I just knew that we weren't done, man. I knew we weren't done. I knew it was too, it was too soon for us. I told Brad when I sprained my ankle and he had to give me a piggyback ride through Zurich, I said, this isn't it for us. No way, man. No way. What if every episode we make up a new backstory about us?

Yeah, we're gay firefighters. Yeah, he's Chuck. I'm Larry. The next episode is completely different just like just normal hey we're just neighbors content creators next episode we both have stage four right we are in it right now so uh this was our make-a-wish no i think it'd be so i yeah and maybe you're right maybe i should eat do the eating ones because i think but i think my downfall here's what the difference between you and me, I think we're both decently mentally, like we can just suck it

up and overcome. But I think the way that you would overcome is a slow and steady. I think the way I would overcome is I would see the cow brains and I would shove as much of it in my mouth at once as I could. True or false. Like I think that's my mind mindset is like just put it in there and get it down your goal phyllis right i think the way i overcome knowing myself is knowing i'm on camera i could do anything if i'm on camera and i can performing yeah i perform and i could joke my way out of it yeah i'm like this will be fine so honestly sign me up i'll get calvary tomorrow if it's being filmed i'm getting psyched for Amazing Race. I think we're in. I'm just going to title this

episode, We're Going on the Amazing Race. And it's not clickbait. We feel like we are going. We're getting fired up about it. Mark? This was your audition. Yeah. Yeah, I feel like that was good. Yeah, you just chop that up. Chop that up, Tom. And send it to him. Right. That's fun.

So I know we're kind of saving football talk for team spirit the football podcast now but i think this will go beyond just like football fans i think you'll appreciate this and other people will too so which team spirit goes beyond football fans too yeah it's true it does i think there are a lot of comments like i don't even like football i don't know why i listened this whole thing it was awesome cool um so yeah thank you for those people who said that but uh i got together in greenville best city in the world with my friend gains he's a canica guy he did k1 gains you know gains like grant gains no no first name gains first name gains first name gains first name gains last have his last name first name yeah gains um actually no no sorry gains so he was uh we just talked we just hung out downtown greenville for a long time and we

were chatting about fantasy football and he was saying he's like i've been with these same guys for like since high school we've been doing the same league forever it's so fun a few years ago we decided like hey instead of buying in 10 bucks let's like let's take the next step like let's start taking this league really seriously so the buy-in i think might be a couple hundred bucks per person per person oh they really spent some money on this trophy that will will have the winners that will be able to put the winner's names in it until they're all dead like it is this massive trophy that's got all these like potential winner's names in it until they're all dead. Like it is this massive trophy that's got all these like potential engravings in it. Like they're going to do this forever.

And they also take the draft really seriously. I would too. Yeah. They do a combine to select draft order. This is the part I was like, oh man, I would love this. So what they do is there's established like four or five events

that are going to happen. Bench press, 40-yard dash, a shuttle run. Sure. But then each person, it's a 10-man league, gets to come on draft day

and on combine day. It's all one day. It's just a massive day of stuff with your own event. So you get to choose the event and it's all part of the combine. He said, so guys did like,

one guy brought just like wedges and golf balls and they were on a football field. It was like closest to get to the goal line, closest to the pin. Okay. You just finished one through first and give order. So it could be physical things. One guy, uh, was archery.

That was his event. He said, he brought archery supplies. Yeah. Yeah. Brought archery supplies. They all did like a, you know, a little shootout. Wow. Um, they went into the gym and did dribble knockout.

Some of them weren't even physical. One guy did presidential history. So does anything... I would do that because then you could stack the deck so much. You just learn everything about presidents. But then again, what does that mean? They bring in a third party,

like a referee, to conduct all of this stuff. But how do you think presidential history would work then? Would this guy have a set of questions or would the referee just come up with questions on the spot oh i i mean i don't know i didn't really ask but um just i know presidential history was one of the topics so yeah you get to bring your own event to the combine and then based on your order you could select where you want to draft that's fun gain said he came in third and picked like seventh

or something and that's what he wanted so um yeah it sounded really fun and i think we should do something like that with our friends yeah i also wonder what would your event be my event i mean it depends on how random we can get with this thing like table making yeah i was gonna say would it be woodworking like just because it's not just things i'm good at it's things i'm better than everybody else at and you know exactly who you're going up against it's not against a random person it's against these nine people right and i know their skills like obviously isaac and i would be in the first and second probably yeah and then after that it'd just be i'd be worried somebody's gonna cut off their hand or something you know like um gain said he did a 400 meter dash which sounded brutal i think at a

certain point you got to say like you know what you? You got it. Yeah. Yeah. I'm going to save it for something else because it's like weighted basically, right? Like whoever gets, uh, man, I don't know what else I would, I mean, guitar, something with guitars, probably just like subjective stuff. I'm just trying to think of like our core friend group in Kansas city. What are things that I do either better or just I do that you guys don't do? And guitar is one that I don't think anybody else really does, except for maybe Peter plays like a few chords. Can Luke Hovland play the guitar?

Oh, he can. Look out. But I mean, I'm not worried. Tymon, what would yours be? If you really cared about a fantasy football draft, what would your event be that you brought to the table? It's hard to get in that mind space because i just do not i wouldn't care but uh i don't know can it just be like anything yeah i

think any competition and you know exactly who you're going up against i mean if i know if it's just like my friends like i none of my friends really do anything video related or like editing. It's like an editing battle. That would be fun. So fun. You all get the same like four clips and you just mess with it and find someone to be like a unbiased judge or someone that knows editing. You know what? Have them be a little biased.

Yeah. Have them know what they're doing. I do really enjoy Sporkle. Sporkle is fun. Like I would love, I think I could just pick a random Sporkle quiz. I do really enjoy Sporkle. Sporkle's fun. I think I could just pick a random Sporkle quiz. I think I would do pretty well. Obviously, there's certain ones I would be really good at,

like marketing, like brand stuff and all that stuff. Sporkle opens up a whole new world. I would be worried about you if we were doing Sporkle, but I feel like just give me general knowledge and give me geography. I feel like those would be what I choose. Yeah. Geography. I would,

I would lose that. I'm not good at geography or dates. Don't give me a state. Don't ask dates. Yeah. Don't ask dates. Did you have thoughts? I think those are kind of my thoughts. I didn't come prepared with thoughts.

I was just like, that conversation was so fun. I was just like, that's so cool that you guys do this. And I love that. Yeah. They make a huge deal out of it. So

the biggest splash competition. Yeah, people were doing 30-minute-long trivia games. Like, hey, let's just knock this out. Just splash contest. Low dive. Maybe just heat out in the sauna. I love saunas, dude. You would hate it.

You'd be done quick. I would not like it. You'd be done 10 minutes in, and I'd be passing it. And that's the thing, though. You've got to weigh the 400- four yard dash where it's like, uh, if I'm in here too long, it's going to affect the rest of the day. He said one guy brought, uh, his event was pushups. So they're just like maxing out pushups. But I feel like, yeah, when does that start to set in and your pecs are just crazy sore probably not till the next day. I don't know, but still at least tired

that day. Yeah. Pushups, What a hard. Oh, give me a break. I'm kind of thinking now, speaking of combine Rachel and I've been thinking of this idea for an hour, a while now we want to do it maybe next year for my birthday. So next August, we want to do track and field day with our friends. Yeah. Just a good old fashioned track and field day. Fun. Sounds so fun. Did you guys do the javelin back in the day? That sounds so dangerous to have with kids. Yeah. We had like a plastic, like it was almost like a vortex, like foam plastic. It was awesome. No, we didn't have that. One of my favorite things we did in PE. Wow. We did a shot put in discus, but I think that's all we threw. Yeah. And like track and field in middle school, high school. Yeah. This was like

before shot put in discus. This was third grade, oh interesting like npe we would do it we uh we had the xbox connect and there was this olympic games game that you had on it and the javelin was on there and i feel like i learned kind of the form that works for a video game i don't know if it translates to real life but i asked katherine what was she throwing me the other day oh it was bow's bat in the backyard and i was like i was like be careful with how you throw that thing because Catherine is not good at throwing things. Yeah, you got to throw like bats and like golf clubs a certain way, like knuckleballs almost.

I was like, yeah, like throw it. I was like, throw it like this because I was worried it was just going to go in over end and be terrible. And I was like, or throw it like a javelin. And I would love to see her throw a real javelin because that was not what I was expecting at all. But anyway, speaking of sports, maybe put a little pickleball in there.

Maybe use a little Vulcan sporting goods.com pickleball paddle in there. I would say so. They're back for some more. The promo code is GRKC for 20% off. A little pickleball. Yeah, we're learning a lot more about pickleball paddles and we're learning that a lot of them

But I believe that Vulcan is higher quality than a lot of these pickleball paddles and we're learning that a lot of them are made from the same people but i believe that vulcan is higher quality than a lot of these pickleball paddles they uh they have the largest paddle line in pickleball over 50 different paddles of colorways so there's there's something for everybody out there so whatever your playing style is your lifestyle your budget it's only paddles that's the thing brad they've got excesses they've got netted they've got baggies baggies accessories that's bags um they also have an entire line of I'm buying that thing.

See if there's anything else in the, in the notes here. I got something, um, go for it. This is, this is one of those, uh, preface, preface it to

the parents of, Hey, maybe, maybe skip ahead five minutes. If you don't, if you don't want, um, glass ceilings to be shattered, I don't think that's the right thing uh something to be shot illusions for your kids um hattie lost her second tooth the other day um and i i think we talked about the first one but yeah she was down in the basement like we got home from the wagons she was down in the basement just playing by herself and all of a sudden i hear her like cry pretty, pretty like extremely. Like I'm like, what is happening? And it wasn't like a, I'm hurt cry. It was like a, I'm really sad cry. And I'm like, that's weird to be down. Like she never does that. And I go down there. She's like, I lost my tooth. And then I lost my tooth. What are you talking about? That's funny. And

she literally like didn't know where she put it. She couldn't find it for a second. We found this tiny little tooth, but she was so excited to put it down, you know, underneath her pillow for the tooth fairy. First time we did it, we like wrote her a note and said like, congratulations.

And after she got that note back, she's like, I wonder what my tooth fairy's name is. Oh, wow. She's like, yeah, summer. Who's name is oh wow what she's like yeah summer who's a friend of hers from uh church it's like summer's tooth fairy's name is chrissy and i was like tooth fairy's have to have names what the heck is this also chrissy not a fairy's name yeah

chrissy's a hairdresser name so so so of course um she gets she loses a second too she's like i can't wait i'm to write her a note and ask her what her name was. And where does Hattie leave the note for the tooth fairy? Under the pillow as well? Yeah. Okay. Right on. She didn't write the note, I don't think, as far as I know, but she was wanting to because she wanted to know that. And so this was Sunday night. Maybe it was Sunday. Anyway, because we were sitting downstairs watching the Chiefs game with Rachel and Catherine. That's fun. And Catherine's like, do not let me forget.

We got to do this thing. We got to do the Tooth Fairy. And I was like, okay, I don't think we're going to forget. Like, that's whatever. We forgot. So the next morning, Hattie wakes up and is just super sad. Like, she's like, I don't know what happened. I don't know where.

I don't know. And we were like, okay. I mean, it's kind of like the weekend. Maybe the To, I don't know. And, and we were like, we were like, okay. Uh, I mean, it's kind of like the weekend. Maybe the tooth fairy doesn't work. The chiefs played last night. The chiefs play last night.

It got over kind of late and, uh, tooth fairy might've fallen asleep. Um, no. And so we were trying to convince her. I was like, maybe,

yeah, maybe, maybe she just didn't know. Like I bet, I bet she'll come back tonight. And so anyway, Catherine's, I wake up Monday morning and I slept in a little bit for whatever reason. Catherine, like barrels I bet she'll come back tonight. And so anyway, Catherine's, I wake up Monday

morning and I slept in a little bit for whatever reason. Catherine like barrels and she's like, Brad, Brad, you have to help me. You know what? I was like, what? She's like, we forgot the tooth fairy again. We forgot to, uh, and how do you super sad about it? She's, she's looking all around for it. And I'm like, and of course it's like, to me, I'm, I'm so okay being like a helpful spouse and like doing whatever and serving my wife and kids or whatever. But like, it's like, to me, I'm, I'm so okay being like a helpful spouse and like doing whatever and serving my wife and kids or whatever. But like, I'm like, that's a one person job that I don't need to help out with this. Like, cause Catherine's like, what should I write on the note?

I'm like, that seems like a micromanaging thing. I'm not going to like worry about it. Why don't you ask Chrissy? Why don't you see what she would say? Seriously though, Catherine, I mean, I love you, Kath, but like she was writing this note and she's like, okay, and what's your name be like, what's a good name for,

I'm like, it doesn't matter. Does that sound like Rachel a little bit? Yeah. I'm like, like so often, what should I wear to sculpt? I don't,

whatever. That's a workout class, right? Where no one, yeah. I think whatever you, whatever you feel, whatever you're comfortable in working out,

I might, I might use the purple water, water bottle today. Oh, nice. That's great. That you're comfortable in working out. I might use the purple water bottle today. Oh. Nice. That's great. That's fine with me. Yeah.

You know, and whatever. I think so often it's just like she just wants somebody to bounce it off of. Anyway, the name, the fairy name that Catherine ended up picking out, because I think it was a fairy in Sleeping Beauty, but it's like, that's the name?

Like if I were going gonna micromanage i might have said something but uh i believe was maryweather okay maryweather out of all names it's better than like a few but not better than most names like it's better than like tabitha maryweather i mean you have to write that out every single time it's very fairyish very fairy i think marywe think very weather very weather old fairy better than whatever chrissa chrissy um but anyway so so literally like katherine got up in hattie's bunk you know bunk bed with her that morning was like let's look around everywhere let's look around and then at one point she like walks in she like points down at the drawer she's like get it out of there get

out and she's like howie, look under this blanket. And Hattie's looking under the blanket, and I give her the tooth, and we put it somewhere. Finally found it. So anyway, big biff turned okay. That's fun, yeah. Hattie's new fairy is Meriwether. You got to build it up.

Like, oh, the tooth fairy forgot? Well, sometimes when that happens, they usually, it's because they're giving you something bigger the next day, and you forget again. Like, okay, if they forget two days in a row, you're like digging yourself in a hole. Yeah, right. What do we have to give Hattie on the third day now?

Right. That usually means, have you heard of interest, Hattie? Yeah. You got something nice coming your way. Nice yield. Uh-huh. We do it just fine. Anyway, the joys of parenting.

And of course, Bo continues to think he's got loose teeth. And Hattie's just so kind. Like, yeah, buddy. Yeah, maybe. Yeah. Every now and then, I'll think I got got loose teeth. And Hattie's just so kind and like, yeah, buddy. Yeah, maybe. Yeah. Every now and then I'll think I got a loose tooth. I get a little worried. I'm like, ah, they're in there.

They're fine. But what if? I know, right? Like it does feel loose right now. Yeah. They're fine. Do you have any wins of the week, Brad? Yes.

Surely I have some. I don't know if I've written any down. Yeah. I'll say win, preemptive one of the week tomorrow, um, uh, upgrading this bad boy. Are you? Yeah. Isaac might be as well. I just bought a new, uh, Mac book, um, that I'm picking up tomorrow from the Apple store. So, um, excited specifically got the midnight gray, which I'm excited about a little different color, a little nice color. Yeah, it's just been a long time coming and we can finally, I've been budgeting for it.

Did you say you're trading it in? No, I'm not going to trade it in. You're not, okay. Catherine's going to use it. So that was part of it. It was like so often when I go and need to use the computer, she's always like, oh, can I use it sometime? So that's my win of the week

along with just all the fun times that happened in Branson. Um, and just getting to hang out with the kids and all that stuff. So cool. That's fun. Congrats. I mean, new technology is always so fun. It is dude. It's, it's honestly like kind of, I haven't even gotten it yet and I'm kind of addicted to like, do I need the iPhone too? Like, and I'm like, no, you don't need it. But I really, I can use a new computer. Like it's sluggish. So yeah, here you go, Kath. Uh, my win of the week is going to be something. Uh, I think it was right when we got to Nashville, we popped into a coffee shop and I saw something on the menu that fired me up. It was called big kids cereal. Okay. Granola, which I love. Yes. Every time I get an acevo, I always pay for extra granola. I love a good

crunch. I love granola. Yeah. Granola, strawberries, blueberries. So all the best parts. And then the base 2% milk. Okay. It was awesome. That sounds awesome. Big kids cereal. I loved it. Rachel's mom is starting a coffee shop in their hometown. And so text her immediately, like a picture of it. I was like, we need big kid cereal in the menu. I don't care what you call it, but that was awesome. And that's way easier than acai bowls. Totally.

Just keep fresh fruit around. Yeah. Cold milk. You're a Costco guy now. Costco has a big old thing of granola that you can buy. Is it made good? Probably. I just discovered.

Brown bag. Made good minis at the airport like two days ago. And Rachel yesterday was like, I'm going to target. What should I get? I said, made good minis. So I love,

Oh no, it's not, it's not made good. This is like, there's like a bag of just like loose granola. Oh, that's fun too. And,

and I do, I make cereal with it sometimes. And it is nice. Love granola. Me too, dude. We at camp back in the day, did you guys have granola? Uh, yes, but only for the staff. Was it only for staff? I don't

remember. It was kind of like exclusive. Like I wasn't in my granola area. It was very expensive. I think for a big bag of it, I mean, compared to, you know, frosted flakes or something like that. Frosted flakes are good too. Man. Yeah. Granola is nice. Yeah, it was good. I ended up texting Angie three days in a row every day day I went to a different coffee shop and they had this like new fun feature I'd never seen before. So first it was Big Kid Cereal. And then this other coffee shop in Nashville

had all these games. They had six different versions of Sellers of Catan, which we always love playing Catan together. It's like, hey, look at this. And then the third one had like a, it kind of looked like a lactation pod. You see at the airport, but it was like a,

this is where Brayden Parsons and I met up, but it was like a soundation pod you see at the airport but it was like a uh this is where uh braden parsons and i met up but it was like a soundproof pod it was like well lit and almost like a telephone booth but there was one guy in there just one little desk interesting and you couldn't hear in and i don't think he could hear out i think it's just for like zoom calls and stuff and a coffee shop oh interesting just put up this little pod in the coffee shop so that i would utilize that yeah for five minutes at a time sometimes it's like oh man i gotta walk outside to take this phone call yeah that's cool if i get coffee shop they should have more than one i think one's pretty now it seems expensive though hot commodity probably but it was cool yeah that's fun so the win mainly big kids hero timing you have any wins um probably just like progress in our house

yeah remodel it's like it, it's been going on for too long. I mean, it's like, it was supposed to be done like months before, but it's like, there are a lot of things that are like very visibly like getting to your final stage. Yeah. Isn't it amazing? Like how there's so many things that are like not exciting in the, you know, like the last 20% is just so much more like visibly, uh, yeah, just exciting. And like, Oh, finally something's happening, but like, yeah. And like upstairs it's been so much like for a while it's been like the carpets have been kind of ripped up and there's just been like the padding underneath, but it's like, we haven't gotten the new carpets. So it's like, finally it's like, it looks nice.

Right. And you're not like stepping on like, just like random stuff. Yeah. That's awesome. Another wind. I just, when you said that, just like random stuff. Yeah. That's awesome. Another win. I just, when you said that, I thought of it. We just had our friend Todd, shout out Todd, um,

install four new can lights in our living room or in our dining room, like the front room. And it's amazing. The difference it's made so much brighter. Yeah. We didn't have overhead lighting in there. And now all of a sudden it's like a new room. It's like a new house.

It's awesome. So highly suggest recommend. Yeah. Just upgrading your lighting. It's not that expensive house it's awesome so highly suggest recommend yeah just upgrading your lighting it's not that expensive and it makes a big difference i love any kind of change or improvement prove it's awesome or just rearranging just fun sometimes it is fun maybe we should rearrange the studio maybe yeah that'd be fun so timing we we should talk about i mean because i was thinking like we should rearrange the studio just have timing you know on camera the whole time we're just in the corner uh timing's got some drip today yeah it studio. Just have Tymon on camera the whole time. We're just in the corner.

Tymon's got some drip today. Yeah, it's too bad he's not on camera. He's not looking homeschooled today. He's got his Jordans on. He's got his Vans hat. Cool joggers. I mean, just a cool guy. He's got a couple tattoos his parents don't know about. He's got the sleeve. He's got a jewel pod.

It's all right. He's over at Jake and Brad's today. That's right. We've got custody. We got custody. Oh, that is another thing is I lost the guillotine league, guys. I'm done. Oh, yeah. I'm out. It's over. There's two leagues. Brad is out on one of them. And the other one

got pretty close to I spent a lot of money on Patrick Mahomes this week because I got I was feeling scared. Yeah. You'll be fine. Be fine. We'll talk more about it. Yesterday.

Yeah, I guess so. My comment of the week comes from Angela Birdwell. Came to Grindy Boo, her and her husband. They're both awesome. But I love this comment because I do value it in myself as well. She said, one of my favorite aspects of the show is how fast you all talk. The speed is just right. Don't have to speed it up or slow it down. That is fun.

I like that. I drives me crazy trying to listen to someone who talks slow because I don't care about what they're saying. Do you ever listen to another podcast that you're used to listening like a little bit faster and then you listen to them at normal speed and it's like, what's wrong with them today? It's like, oh, just back on the wrong speed. Yeah.

No, I've never done that. Yeah, I do it sometimes. I'm like, this is weird. Like if I meet that person in real life someday, it's going to mess me up because I'm it's only one point two. So it's not like obvious that they're talking faster point is nice. It is nice. Um, okay, let me I have a comment of the week, but it's kind of, I don't know. That's pretty inappropriate. No. My comment of the week. Okay.

I'm going to need to bleep out quite a bit of this. Okay. My comment of the week is from, this is 50 with Lil. She says, it seems like things are slowly shifting towards a more Bible-y vibe with these guys. And she said, me to me, shut up, shut up. You guys like these, you guys, you like these guys for reasons beyond this. It's the friendship thing. So just move past that and shut up about it. And this, this has kind of stuck with me because so much of whatever I, I, it is, we are, we are

God loving men and we are Bible loving men. And we, I think the reason that our friendship is so special is not because we're just fun, but because we have something deeper, uh, in us and, uh, we value something deeper in each other. So on one hand, yeah, of course we love our friendship and we love this. It's also funny to me, like, yeah, Bible-y vibes. I don't know. Let's get some more Bible-y vibes up in here. We're going to wear some cloaks sometime soon. No, but obviously I'm not ever going to back down. I'm not going to be ashamed of the fact that we are Christians

and that we do love that aspect of our lives. And obviously we're not doing devotions here left and right, but that is a huge part of our lives. And so I just want to shout out that comment because I just think like, it is the friendship thing. That is what people love about us. But the deeper root behind the friendship thing for Jake and I is that we are united in Christ and we're brothers in Christ. And so, yeah, I appreciate you appreciating the friendship thing, Lil, but I also know that the Bible-y vibe is

because we love the Bible. We love Jesus and we are eternally changed because of him. It's like the main book we read, someone who works with that book wants to sponsor us. It's like, wow, great. That works out.

Anyway, that's my comment. We're Bible-y guys. Bible-y guys. Yeah. Yeah. Anyway, that's my comment. We're Bible-y guys. Bible-y guys. Oh, well. Yeah. That's good. That's great. I appreciate all you guys listening week after week.

Any final thoughts? Anything you need to know about? I mean. Florida Georgia Line. Go stream some of their music. Oh, here's a fun thing. Is that along with. We have two open spots for Gulf shores. Uh, just recently, uh, a, a bedroom, a two person bedroom has opened up. So if you are a couple or have a same gendered friend,

Along with a four person bedroom that you can also purchase. So, um, looking forward to that still, that's definitely on the horizon. We're excited about that.
