because it's the Ghost Brothers Podcast. Everybody morning, we're taking round Ghost Brothers Podcast. Ghost Brothers Podcast. Here we are. We're adjusting mics,

figuring it out. Are you turning the wrong way? Maybe. On purpose? Have we ever talked about the walnut, a hilarious quirk that we have in this house? Go off on the walnut. So Jake's got, it's a walnut tree?

All right, it's a walnut, right? And there's just a empty, I don't know if it's empty, but whatever you call those things, big old can, big old bin in the backyard. And probably, I don't know, almost every week, it feels like some walnut falls on this can and just bangs it in the backyard. You just hear like a little boing.

It's like an oil drum. I bought this to burn trash in. And all the reviews on Amazon were like, this is a great trash-burning oil drum. This is exactly what we use it for. I was like, great. That's what I want. And then it showed up, and it was sealed on both sides. I was like, well, I'm not a welder.

I don't have a blowtorch to uncover this. And I'm not going to dox him, but I had a guy lined up friend of mine who was like oh yeah i'll knock it out for you oh i can imagine and um hit him up a few times and kept reminding him and he just never never came over and so it's still sealed shut did he explain how he was gonna do it he has like welding equipment is that what it takes as far as i know sounds good yeah there's no like hatch there's no like unlock

they're not a deadbolt it's just uh just sealed metal i'm confused why you couldn't just cut it what is like welding out to do with it is that just well how would you maybe i don't understand that this is like you're using a like a pair of scissors timing you might be able to see it out this window well i don't know probably not but yeah it's just like it's it's thick metal. OK, solid metal. Yeah. I don't know why you don't just use like a plastic knife on it.

Just rip it apart. Just rip it off. It's kid safe. Yes. Get like a yellow belt and chop it. I'm definitely thinking of too thin of a metal.

Yeah, I don't know. I have you YouTubed it. Did they say like this is what you use for it? I did not. I knew one friend who happened to be a welder. I was like, oh, great. I'll just text him over and over again until he does.

And then he never did. So I was just. What's his name? Task Rabbit guy. He would do it in five minutes. Yeah. He'd hang your hang your TV and then he'd open up your drum. That'd be fun.

I'd love to get back to burning trash. I miss it. It's like a thing that people do in our neighborhood a lot. Yeah. I don't feel bad about it because other people are doing it. Yeah. I don't know. I, yeah. I don't know if they're burning trash or if they're burning. Yeah. Leaves or something. It's like, but it does not smell great. It's like just permeating into our yard sometimes. Yeah. Well, sorry about them, but it's okay. It's fun to get rid of trash that way. I guess so.

Anyway, that's what we're talking about today. We're talking about trash. We're also talking about it was just Tymon's birthday and Mother's Day. Yes. And when we're recording this, it's my dad's birthday. And it was Catherine's birthday. That's right. Yeah, a lot happened. A lot of birthdays.

Holy cow. Tymon, how was yours? Today's your dad's birthday? Today's my dad's birthday. We got to call him. Okay. Right now. I'm just kidding.

Right now. Yeah, Tymon, happy birthday, man. Thanks. Yeah yeah what'd you do how was it it was great uh yeah the actual birthday day wasn't anything crazy uh but it was it was fun yeah it kind of like uh it wasn't necessarily for my birthday but me and some friends did a little camping trip okay tuesday night so like kind of like waking up on my birthday um fun so yeah that was awesome it was like uh Hillsdale Lake uh-huh I I'd never heard of it like it's like this big lake with good camping that was like pretty close yeah right down the street from you yeah so that was fun um I'm trying to think yeah it was just like a pretty fairly spontaneous thing like a week

like playing like a week before but, but everyone that was trying to come was able to come. It was awesome. That's cool. Probably a few days ago, you texted Brad and I. You're like, hey, I don't know if it would be a bother, but could we record Thursday instead of Wednesday this week? Brad's like, oh yeah, no problem. A day later, I was like, wait, Wednesday would have been

Tymon's birthday? I'm glad we didn't record that. Tymon didn't tell us it was his birthday, but man, I would have felt bad. I was like, I know Tymon's birthday is next'm glad we didn't record that. Tymon didn't tell us it was his birthday, but man, I would have felt bad. Yeah, I was like, I know Tymon's birthday is next week. I'm not sure which day, but yeah, no fun to record on your birthday. Oh, it would have been fine. It would have been just like leaving the campsite

to come here. So what'd you guys do? Like, what do you do on a camping trip with your buddies? There wasn't a lot planned. It was on a lake, so we got in the water. It was pretty cold, was it was on a lake so we got in the water yeah uh it was pretty cold but it was it was fun there were like these it was it's kind of a man-made lake i think there's all like all these trees sticking up like in the middle and so is that how you know that's a man-made lake is when there's just trees in the middle no it's not necessarily i don't know

i for some reason it seems like they're related but i don't i don't know why yeah i couldn't tell you but if anything i would think that it is not a man-made lake if there are trees in the middle because this was supposed to be this used to be grass and now that's true well that's kind of why I would think it would be a man-made lake I don't know because it's like I feel like we just kind of filled it up

we're all kind of man-made lakes you know we don't have a bunch of like this is a great natural lake here in Kansas but I don't know I hate I like, this is a great natural lake here in Kansas. Yeah, that's true. But I don't know. I hate trees coming up out of the water in lakes. It's like irrationally bothers me. Really? Yeah.

I think I get it. It bums me out, dude. It's just like you see it and you're just like, this is sad to see. Well, then you'll be glad to hear I took care of one of them. What do you mean? Unintentionally. He took his scissors and he cut it.

Just cut it. So we swam out to one of them. What do you mean? Unintentionally. He took his scissors and he cut it. Just cut it. So we like swam out to one of the closest ones and I climbed up, like I kind of climbed up on it from the water. Okay. And then I was like standing on one of the branches. I kind of like started swinging a little bit and then I just like, it just slowly started tipping and then I just kind of felled this tree in the middle of the lake. It was awesome.

Yeah. Because like. Just fun lake boy things. It reminded me of when I think about if I'm falling from a large height off of something, I could just jump at the last second and it'd be fine. That's kind of what happened.

That's pretty cool. That was a fun thing to happen. Who was there? Like nine guys. I can name them. I trust trust you that would be boring what all in one tent uh yeah one big old tent one big old tent wow yeah what's kind of your role you get to the campsite you're starting to set up what role do you take on good question i feel like i'm not a super handyman type of guy but i was i mean i can help. I can put up lawn chairs around a fire.

Invaluable time. I was just kind of help. We were all kind of like doing the tent together, helping figure it out. None of us were like knew how it worked exactly, but we figured it out. How good would you be at setting up a tent? I've done it before.

I have too, but it's been a long time and I feel like I would look like a little bit of a fool trying to set up a tent. Oh yeah, I couldn't get it my first try probably, but yeah,

I would set it up once like, oh, okay. Whoops, I see. All right. The stakes have got to be,

I had the wrong stake and I got it. Right, right. I don't know. But I could do the lawn chairs pretty easily. I would be really good,

especially the ones that are just like the classic fold out. Not the ones in the bags, but just the classic ones. Those are great. That's fun that you're making memories camping. I loved camping growing up, going on float trips, making macaroni over a fire or whatever else we had. Hot dogs, Cornish game hen.

Me and my cousin, my dad, my uncle. I remember just hearing stories and waking up the next morning and my dad and uncle telling us a story. I mean, we're probably like 13 and they're like, we heard a bear last night. Like, did you? Like, we swear we are. And they're not even like trying to mess with us, but like, no, like John jumped in my arms. Cause he swore he heard a bear last night. Maybe when we call my dad, we can ask him about it. Do you think it's, you think it's for sure true? Or do you think they heard this whole time? Like they've been messing with you. Kind of like the whole thing with like your dad's the dumbest guy in the world. I don know how you're so smart yeah i was like i guess he is that dumb

no i think they they think they heard a bear yeah i don't know what they actually heard but they think it was some large actually they would probably think it was some kind of i don't know woolly mammoth something extinct like something that we don't know about is back and it's in the mark toy national forest yeah it's insane did you when uh, uh, on night watch back in the day for camp, did you call it bear watch? No. So yeah. Like every, whatever, every two or three weeks, like one staff member per camp was like assigned to like be on night duty of like walking the grounds or whatever. And we called it bear watch and we had to stop calling it that because kids were like, there's, there are bears here bears here there are bears and some of the counselors were stupid and we're like yeah actually i saw like three

bears last night they ate a kid from last term it's like don't say that counselors loved lying and it drove me nuts it was wild one of my buddies uh convinced i mean our kids were so young seven to eleven year olds convinced one of the kids that he was a pro wrestler. And so this kid came home. He's like, we got to go to wwe.com cookies, a pro wrestler on there. No, he's not.

Yes, he is. He promised me he was, you know, cause like so often you're just like, Oh, what's up? I'm, I'm the best.

I'm the best wrestler. You can't take me down. I'm, I'm a pro wrestler. No, you're not. Yes, I am.

Yeah. Look me up when you get home. So we were like, like trained, like, don't say that there's bears here. Don't lie to your kids about being pro wrestlers. Yeah, whatever. I don't know what makes you want to do that. But once you get just in charge of someone a little bit, you're just like, yeah, they don't need to know everything.

The kids who asked us like, what's for dinner night? And other counselors like, nope, I'm not telling you. Yeah. Why can't we tell them? Why can't we just let them know? Hey, what are we having for breakfast tonight? It's just no spaghetti, all meatballs. It's like, why? You can just tell them it's pizza. It's fine. Who cares? They'll be fine. Yeah. They can know what time dinner is.

I do remember that like back in the day, because I feel like our kids would just ask questions constantly. So I think that was the spirit of it. But it's like your kids were 15 years old, right? Like 12 to 14, 12, 12 to 14 years old. Like they're old enough there. You can hear a question and not ask 15 more. And even if they're asking questions, I know the answer to, I don't mind answer. Yeah. Fair.

If I know the answer. Yeah. Branson's a fun time. We should go back there sometime. That's a fun idea. Interesting. Pretty interesting. Pretty sneaky says, um, anyway, how. Pretty interesting. Pretty sneaky, sis.

Anyway, how's your week been? Good. So Rachel left town for like three and a half days or so this week, three, four days. And I just kind of locked myself in the house and just been working. It's been a fun combination of like I have time to work. Rachel is gone and I need to get work done because we leave for Portugal next week. So kind of the perfect storm of just getting a lot done. And it's been nice.

It's been probably one of the more productive weeks of my life. So it feels good. I feel like I'm always hesitant to be like, what are you up to? Just been busy because I hate like busyness is not a badge. Busyness is not a life update. But when you do a podcast about life updates and yeah, sure, it is kind of what you've been up to. So yeah, I've just been doing a lot.

I think there are 47 Friday Pickleball videos in a document right now that did not exist three days ago wow just ads they're not all like sketches and long form stuff but 47 of anything you could say there's 47 one-page papers that i wrote in the last three days that's amazing like that's a lot of whatever like yeah thank you there's 47 bowls of cereal in my fridge right now. That took a little time. That's crazy! That's a lot of cereal, man! It could be anything. There's 47 towels folded up. Whoa, you took some time. I have 47 teeth

in my mouth. Whoa! Where'd you get the extra from? What are they doing in there? Okay, genuinely, I don't know how many teeth are in your mouth. Anybody? 32? Unless you have your ways of teeth taken out, then I think 28. I wouldn't have known. I wouldn't have known either. I would have probably guessed. I would have guessed 20s. In the 20 Anybody? 32. Unless you have your wisdom teeth taken out, then I think 28. I wouldn't have known. I wouldn't have known either. I would have probably guessed in the 20s.

That's an educated guess for me. I'm not willing to stake my life on it, but Dr. Ben Miller would know. Dr. Ben, yeah. A lot of Friday Pickleball ads. Feels good to get those out before I leave. 32. 32.

Just a bunch of different stuff. We've had some really feels good to get those out before I leave. Did some. 32. All right. Yep. And just, yeah, just a bunch of different stuff. We've had some really fun, cool phone calls with cool opportunities. And there's some really fun Bondi updates I might release in like a coming episode here soon. And so that's been the main thing is I have just been by myself. When Rachel got home last night,

I did not shut up for two hours. Because like, sorry, I don't think I've really spoken much in the last three or four days. Yeah. Um, and so you, you felt like you were excited to talk to her about everything. Yeah. That's how Catherine is every time I come home. And sometimes I'm just so tired from the day and she's just like, you got to talk to me. I've, I haven't been around adults all day. I need, I need to talk to somebody right now. So that's been a main thing. Just been nice to... You know what it is?

I've been very grateful that I can work all day long and still feel fulfilled. Because there would have been times in my life, if I just edited all day, what a lame day. I didn't get to see my friends. I didn't get to do anything. Where it's like this, I have a variety of different things I'm doing and I, what a lame day. I didn't get to see my friends. I didn't get to do anything where it's like this. I have a variety of different things I'm doing.

And I like love what I'm doing enough where it's like, I can do that for three days straight, like 10 to 12 hour days, three days in a row. And be like, this is fun. Yeah. I'm providing. I am, I am, you know, passion meets talent here. This is fun. I'm, this is great.

Yeah. I'm so excited to do this. And it'll be nice to go to Portugal soon and not work this long, but it's been a good week. What about you? about you what i'll tell you uh what's like your process like where are you working you work in couch you work in table you're working in the you have a little desk in your room yeah that's you bounce around be bopping around if we're editing you go on the big monitor so you can see things but pretty much everything else uh i've said i've tried three different spots on the couch, trying to figure out

what is the comfiest couch spot to have a computer on your lap. Are you tired or whatever? I'm not leaned back, but it's like sitting upright. I think couches get a little leaned to them after a while. I swear I'm sitting upright,

but I'm leaned to the right. This is annoying. Oh, yeah. You don't notice at first. You're like, wait a second. I'm 130 right now. Yeah. I'm 130. Yeah. A bummer. And then we got the table. We got the kitchen kind of bar seating, but the couch is the main spot and just firing off stuff on my computer. You watch something while you work, listen to something while you work? Absolutely not. Nothing? No.

If you're watching or listening while you're working, you just want to work slower. Music? No. Really? Oh, that's distracting. Okay. Because even subconsciously after a while,

you'll think, I'm ready for a new genre or I don't really like this song. And you're having to make decisions that aren't work-related. Interesting. Okay. Very good.

Yeah. What kind of work would you be doing that you would be able to listen to? I mean, like... Woodworking? Yeah, yeah. Because if it's more

physical stuff, then that makes sense. But yeah, for writing stuff and all that, I feel like I could never listen to music unless it was instrumental.

Yeah, yeah. Instrumental is nice. Lo-fi beats, give me a little Stranger Things soundtrack, dude. Never thought about that. Yeah. There's so many good soundtracks. The Tron soundtrack is another fun one. Tron! lo-fi beats. Give me a little Stranger Things soundtrack, dude. Never thought about that. There's so many good soundtracks.

The Tron soundtrack is another fun one. Remember Tron? There's that one song we would always play at camp. I remember during the party, Illuminosity Atrocity. We would play something from the Tron soundtrack. What was that song? It was some Avicii song or something. No, Daft Punk. It was Daft Punk.

Yeah. I think their whole thing was Daft Punk, wasn't it? Okay. Yeah. Every song was Daft Punk, maybe. What was it called? Was it the... Oh, yeah.

I don't know. Oh, the game has changed, maybe. Let's see if this is... Yep. Yep. Just imagine getting into it with this you know i'm a 4.2 duper i'm gonna get copyright strike i remember me and stu polson did our own like a version of the blue man group drumming performance to this song oh yeah that's what we did for the luminosity

party too wait no way. Have we ever talked about this? We both did Blue Man Group parodies? Maybe so. What are the odds of that? I didn't paint myself. Yeah, we didn't quite paint ourselves either. We did those like body suits.

It was like skin suits. So he was like bright pink and I was like bright orange. Okay. We had people paint themselves. I just was not one of them. I just volunteered other people to do it. You would be perfect. Jeff and Ruffles. You guys be the blue man group. Yeah, it was great. You guys would be really good. The kids would love it. If you did,

you guys would be great. Yeah. We had them like on a platform, like maybe 10 feet up. And then we had a scaffolding that was probably like 20 feet up or something that we had like a DJ booth on. That's fine. And so me and the other programs guy got to just hang out we'll be in the booth just partying in the booth if you need us it was great man yeah yeah that was sort of instead of paint on the barrel we did an upside down like 50 gallon trash bin and we did a baby powder because it still lights up under a black light and so we would hit that and it would kind of bounce up it's kind of fun that's fun pretty amateur performance but hey kids liked it. Yeah. That was exactly what we did. It wasn't

baby powder. It was something with... Anthra? Anthra. What was it? No, it was something with detergent or something. Certain kind of detergent had glowing powder. Same with tonic water.

We would shake up tonic water and shoot it out at people like a champagne kind of thing. Y'all had some scientists at K-Country. You had some bioluminescence going on over there. He's at Google, baby. I don't know if we had that. I think Ward didn't want to pay for it. So he's like, you just ask me if you have questions. Dude, that was what was so fun.

Sparky, our director, is an engineer. That's what he went to school for. I didn't know that. I could be wrong. I think we did Yeah. Sparky, our director, is an engineer. That's what he went to school for, is mechanical engineering. I didn't know that. And so I think I could be wrong. I think we did Luminosity and Atrocity the summer before everyone else did. That doesn't make any sense. I think we did. I don't know.

CannaCook has sanctioned structured parties for every summer. No, not back when we were there. Yeah. Really? Yeah. I remember on the programs team, it was like, here are the eight parties you could choose from this year. You need to choose four for K West. Oh,

we never did that. We always had our own parties or like, or maybe they were always just like given to us. Maybe we'd never got to choose out of the eight. Huh? Well, across Kanakuk, it would,

cause they would send out emails like here, like the parties were doing this year. Really? You guys did nursery rhymes. We never did nursery rhymes. Or what does like, we did all these different ones. I was like, this is a kid's party, like holiday party. You guys do holiday rhymes? We never did nursery rhymes. Or what does, like, we did all these different ones. I was like, this is a kid's party, like holiday party.

You guys do holiday party? Yeah, 2013. Yeah? Yeah. What other one did we do? Yeah, I don't know. Maybe, okay, I didn't realize that. Maybe we did.

Everyone did it. But Sparky, like, invented, like, made his own foam machine. Yeah, I heard stories of this. And, yeah, got to, like, figure it out, like, because he's an engineer and just, like stories of this. And yeah, got to like figure it out because he's an engineer and just like went nuts on like going crazy with it because that's his whole thing is like make it as amazing as possible.

Engineers are the best. Yeah, and so literally like these kids who are Hattie's age, four feet tall or shorter, have eight feet of foam in this area and we black out with visqueens. You guys use visqueens? Yeah, yeah, yeah. We blacked it all out in this area. And we black out with visqueens. You guys use visqueens? Yeah, yeah, yeah. We blacked it all out in this gym outside.

And it was, like, kids were getting lost in this thing. Yeah, it's, like, dangerous, but in a good way. Oh, it was so much fun, dude. That's so fun. Case seven next door to me had an engineer, Dan. So we would use Dan. Old Dan. Yeah, Dan knew.

Put Dan on the case. Yeah, that's so fun. Yeah, we tried to make foam. And we found some old YouTube video. I think I've talked about this on the podcast before. But it was so, so's so fun. Yeah, we tried to make foam and we found some old YouTube video. I think I've talked about some of the podcasts before, but it was so, so janky. We stole like a screen, like a window screen from the girls' cabins. And we would put that over these trash. But we used the trash bins for just about everything. And we would like then use, we duct tape a pvc pipe to a leaf blower that way you could then you would blow water blow air into this like trash bin full of water and soap and then that would force

the water and soap foam back out through the the window screen and um didn't work i mean it was just it was tough to get the ratio right they're like all right let's try this like oh it's so soapy it's just you might as well just take a bath while you're in here. And engineer would have been nice. That was one of those times. Like, Sparky was so great at like, he was like the logistics guy. He cared about all the details of how camp was run, but he did not care about exactly what we're doing on programs.

Unless it's like bad. Like there was one time I remember he was like, hey, let's all meet together and talk about this party. And I was like, that's because it was not a good party. Um, like, you know, session one or whatever. What was the worst party you ever threw? Oh man. The caveman party. Yeah, we did. Um, yeah, we tried to do it underneath the ropes course. I think that was like our cave. It was so stupid. Like my first year on programs, it was when I was studying abroad in Spain. So I missed leadership weekend. And so I came like halfway through uncle week, which is like leadership weekends when you

kind of like iron out the kind of play at all parties. And then uncle week is when you kind of like really ramp up and like get all the props and stuff. And so I come and I'm with my programs director who had done it. I think it was his third year doing it, but I think he was kind of like, ah, it's fine. Like he was way more like like he's way more like a character guy like so just infectiously fun but like the details he's like i mean i don't know we'll figure it out the kids will love it yeah whatever it's i remember the first caveman party but like the day before we're like so what are we doing for this thing so anyway but yeah for the most part sparky just let it alone but every once in a while he was like i'm gonna own this thing and it was like i'm gonna own the foam the foam machine is mine

and he owned it to perfection like it was awesome that's fun so that's good time anyway yeah we talk about camp memories forever probably i know i we're still like not officially i don't know we're not officially in or out for Hattie this summer at camp. Really? She might be in. She might be. I mean, first of all, it's crazy expensive. And so that's tough. And she can't swim right now very well.

Okay. No other kid at our camp could not swim. I don't remember a single kid being like, yeah, that kid has to have a life jacket. Does she want to learn how to swim? Yeah. I mean, kind of, she finally like overcame her, like for, she loves being in the water. She loves swimming quote unquote with the life jacket or whatever, but she did not want to get her hair wet or like her face underwater. Now she like is comfortable, like jumping in the pool and

everything. So I think she's close. Take her to splash cove, baby. Yeah, dude. I tried to teach her how to ride her bike this week. Golly. I'm so impatient and bad at that stuff, man. Cause she freaks out. Like she gets Scott Peck's out, figure it out. Like I, I mean, I just try so hard to be like logical with her. And like, I'm like, I literally, so I saw this classic, I mean, I saw this real on Instagram of this parent, like here's use this towel to wrap it around your kid. Oh yeah. Hold your kid up while they're going. And I'm like, that's awesome. Let's do that. Uh, and so I used a blanket, same idea, like a little throw blanket kind of thing and put it around her. And I told her, I was like, Hattie, I'll give you a hundred dollars. If you fall, I will give you a hundred dollars. I was like, try to follow up

because that's how hard it is to fall. I'll give you a hundred dollars if you fall. And then later on, I was like, listen, Hattie, I'll, I'll take you to, if you fall,

I'll take you to Andy's. If you learn how to ride your bike, I'll take you to Andy's. I was like, either way, we're going to Andy's Andrew's paying us. And it just, I mean,

she was like, she just thought it was the craziest, scariest thing for her to ride her bike with no training wheels. She would always want to put her foot down, put her foot down. And yeah, I just got impatient pretty quick. No Andes if your foot goes down. Yeah. That's not one of the options.

No, so we didn't go to Andes yet. She hasn't figured it out. And I don't know. That's not like my natural gifting is being really good at teaching those kind of things. I can really have fun when they figure it out. Yeah. But I don't know what I'm like,

especially bending down and like holding her like as she's running down the street is not comfortable. Yeah. So I was like, this blanket will be great. She did not like the blanket. I think, I don't know if we started with the towel or maybe I just saw other people

do the towel, but I remember my dad teaching me how to ride a bike by just bunching up my shirt and just grabbing the back of my shirt and just running alongside me. Smart, yeah. And I think, yeah, if I'd go to fall, he'd just asphyxiate me and just hold me up and my shirt would come off and I'd still fall. I was

shirtless, so I skinned my knee or skinned my chest really hard. Yeah, I don't know. And Catherine was watching me. She's like, you were so much more patient than I was. I was like, I was? What would you have done? I don't know. I, and Catherine was watching me. She's like, you were so much more patient than I was. I was like, I was, what would you have done? I screamed at her.

I mean, yeah. And poor girl. I was like, we'll just go to the end of the driveway and back. And after we did it once, Catherine saw, she's like,

Hattie, go again. And so I was like, all right, we gotta go get, and then we did it three times. And how he's like crying. She's like,

you said we'd only have to do it once. And we did it three times and Hattie's like crying. She's like, you said we'd only have to do it once. And we did it three times. So that's funny. Hattie's has a new obsession lately and it's like peering through my windows. Hattie is a peeping, peeping Tom. It's great though. And she knows where to find me because like I said,

I've been working on the couch so much that like, you've been slightly tilted on the couch. Two out of three the last night, how do you as like walked by at like seven p.m. or whatever it has been. And anyway, I've just been sitting there on the couch getting some work done and had he freaks out. Oh, she he see me. He saw me. He saw me because that's yeah, we have like a little

route that we do. We take evening walks sometimes and yeah, they go. Had he has a little training wheels on her bike and then Bo has this little tricycle. It's Hattie's tricycle, a little pink tricycle. And he pedals, you know, a hundred times for every 10 steps that he 10 feet that he gets on this thing, but they go a little bit of ahead of us and then they have to stop at Jake and Rachel's house. And so they always stop in the driveway and wave, hoping that they catch your attention. So, and they did. It great yeah yeah i saw it

right away that was fun uh something else catherine got our attention two days ago yesterday whenever it was oh yeah yeah because the guy our attention yeah you and i were in our house my house the pronouns um catherine comes over while you and i were shooting a video and says hey somebody needs your help we got to go on a little adventure. Yeah, Andre. Yeah, Andre had ran out of gas, basically on Brad's lawn. And so we went over there and picked him up.

He just drove right up by our front window. And it was fun. Got to talk to him a little bit. Of course, Brad, in the last 10 seconds, we're about to drop him back off. Brad goes, should we tell him about our podcast? And I just like shake my head. Come on, man. And then off. Brad goes, should we tell him about our podcast? And I just like shake my head. Come on, man. And then the guy's like,

you guys got a podcast? You guys got a podcast? Oh, okay. I mean, this guy's a DoorDash driver. He's looking for things to listen to. He's got time. Yeah, he's listening. Andre, what's up, man? Oh, yeah, Andre, what's up? Hey, dude, you made it this far to the episode? Shocked. Shocked that you're still here. Yeah, yeah, yeah.

So, yeah, that was fun. He already had a gas can in his trunk. was hilarious so because we're like we'll take him to the gas station but we don't have a gas you think they sell them at quick trip like i don't know and we go and pick him up and he pops the trunk and just grabs out i was like this dude's done this before all right let me grab my can real quick and i'll be right there it was great man uh so yeah filled it up was pretty uneven katherine's like how'd it up. It was pretty uneventful. Catherine's like, how'd it go? I was like, fine.

Pretty standard. Like guy ran out of gas. Go get some gas situation. Yeah. Nothing crazy. You ever ran out of gas time? No. No.

I don't think so. Catherine goes, we should get a gas tank for our cars. Like, you know, as responsible adults, I feel like that's something you need. I was like, if you're a responsible adult, you don't run out of gas. That's what I told her. The most responsible thing is keeping gas in your car. Yeah, whatever. No judgment, Andre.

But yeah, I've just never even, like, I've come close plenty of times, but it's like, I got it. Like, you got to really try to run out of gas, I feel like, these days. Yeah. We obviously, we grew up with tons of gas cans, but that's because we had weed eaters and lawnmowers that took gas, so that's how you would fill them up. Right.

I got an electric weed eater these days, so I'm just a real gas-free. There you go. Good for you. Gas-free. Do you know the difference between mixed gas and regular gas, as far as when to use them? Oh, that's right.

Yeah, because for weed eaters, it takes a mix. Yes. Most of them do. I learned that, yeah, people are going to be like, well, technically, yeah. RYOBI does it different. Okay, Jesse, you know, Jesse Platner over there. No, but I learned at camp that anything that basically, whatever, people are going to get technical on me, but I think anything that's on the ground, has wheels, uses regular gas. Anything that doesn't, anything like a weed eater, something you're holding, uses mixed.

And what is the mix? What is the concoction? Great question. I used to know back in my weed eating days. I have no idea. It's not water because those things don't mix. Okay. I know a latte is espresso and milk.

Yeah. And a weed eater is gas and I forget. It's not half and half. don't mix. Okay. I know a latte is espresso and milk. Yeah. And a weed eater is gas and I forget. It's not half and half. What would it be, dude? Like diesel or something, I think. Like a different form of gasoline. Okay. Can you get it?

Where do you get it? Or do you just go get half and half? You go to the Ace Hardware. I'd like one mix. Can I get a mix, please? A gallon of mix. Patrick Mahomes, please. Can I get like a Derek Jeter mix?

Come on. Yeah, Derek Jeter would be fine. Even more of the confusing ones, like Logic or Mike Bibby. Gal Gadot. I don't know. She seems like she's a little bit half and half of something. Meghan Markle. I thought she was just tan.

Turns out she's a mix. Do you guys have that? Yeah, please. Thank you. That'd be great. Joanna Gaines, honestly? Think about it. Think about it. Probably she's from Kansas originally.

Oh, yeah. All right. My dad's probably just kicking. He just can't believe that we didn't know this right now. Let's see. I think diesel sounds great. Yeah, it was good gas. It's wrong.

A 25 to one mixture of gasoline to oil. Oil. Oil. I had a little trouble saying that. 25 to 1. Okay, so genuinely, do you just do that yourself? This weed whacker takes 40 to 1 gas to oil. Where do you get this, though?

Could you run it on just plain unleaded gas? Sorry, I'm not answering any of your questions. I'm intrigued by this. You could run it on just plain unleaded gas for about five minutes, and then it'll freeze up. Don't want that. Anyway, what were you asking? Where do you get this?

You just put a dab of oil in there and just hope it's 25 to 1 like you're freaking Albert Einstein in the lab? You got a couple graduated cylinders What are we doing over here at Cal Berkeley or something? A couple beakers in the garage. No way my dad had beakers. I don't know what.

Maybe he was mixing himself. I doubt. No, it's got to come pre-mixed. Where do you buy mixed gas? You could buy, I don't know. Advanced auto parts looks like they're selling. I wouldn't trust it. That's for autos.

Those have wheels. Yeah, yeah, yeah. O'Reilly Auto Parts, Walmart Supercenter. Auto again. Two-stroke fuel. Are you sick and tired of having to worry about mixing your two-stroke fuel? Yeah, my beakers.

For only a short amount of work? Steel is designed a special formula. I don't know. Yeah, it sounds like it comes pre-mixed. Yeah, there is a mix. 40 to 1, 25 to 1, 50 to 1. All that to say, I get my lawn mowed by somebody. If it wasn't obvious.

And I called him the other day and said, I'm not very satisfied with the work. This was funny. Just to interject real quickly. My lawnmower guy, friend of mine, just got a job in ministry, moved to Wichita. Seriously?

So now I got to freaking find a new guy to mow my lawn. Let's go, Spencer. Yeah, I'm really happy for him. I need to call him and send him a voicemail or something. And he was also a renter of mine,

so double bad news. I lost my lawnmower and a renter for some ministry job in Wichita. Oh, it's your dream job. Yeah, what does Michael Scott say when he's like, dang? I can't remember. He's like getting upset about. And something, something's not.

Oh, something's bust. What does he say? Yes, what is it? Dang it. What is that line? This airlines are something. Airlines are bust. Oh, okay. Michael Scott. Something. Mad TV got canceled. This airlines are something airlines are bust or.

Oh, okay. Michael Scott, but the something mad TV got cancer. No, that's going to be a different part. I think it's something bust. Oh, man. How do we find that quote time and figure it out? I have no idea. I'm trying to search.

Oh, somebody knows it. I know they're listening right now, and they know this quote. I'm going to call Catherine. She might get it, dude. Or Thurbush. It's something like in the economy or in the entertainment industry. Sketch comedy is bust.

The newspaper. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Newspapers bust. Yeah, something like yeah. Newspapers bust. Yeah, something like that. Something that used to be more popular. Catherine had another funny thing she said the other day. I was like, that was good. I meant to say it on the podcast.

I forgot. Hey, you're on the podcast. Oh, I found it. Oh, you did? Yeah. Okay. Well, Jake just found the answer, but we couldn't figure it out for a second. Do you remember on The Office at one point, Michael, do you remember the context of it?

Do you see it here or anything? Michael's just like frustrated about all these different things. And he's like, blah, blah, blah, blah. Something, something. Is it bust? Yeah. So it's like the blank is bust. Do you remember that quote?

It's during the fun run. Blank is bust. This is going on. Yeah. It's like when Meredith's Meredith like he can't do anything about any of these issues the office is cursed or something like that

right like it's like symphonies don't have any money yes symphonies don't have any money what was the other one that's what we just watched

yeah I know oh oh oh sorry sorry sorry what is it that's bust don't have any money he says blank is bust and I don't have any money. He says, blank is bust and I can't do anything about it.

He's so upset. And then rabies. And now rabies. I don't remember. Okay. Correct answer is public TV. Public TV is bust. Yes. All right.

Well, I was like, if anybody knows, it might be Catherine. To be honest, I'm not in very good headspace right now. Rosie was crawling on me, and I was trying to read, or Hattie was doing a reading lesson, so I wasn't. Yeah, that's fair. I was in my office, quote, headspace. Yeah, that's fair. You got a lot going on.

It was a risk calling you, but anyway, well, thanks for playing along. Love you. Oh, yeah. We'll try again another time. All right. See ya. Okay. Bye. Bye. That's funny. Love ya. Oh, yeah. We'll try again another time. All right. See ya. Okay. Bye.

Bye. That's funny. Love ya. Oh, yeah. Oh, yeah. Yeah, I bet you do. Were you simping for your wife again? Tell me about it.

Oh, yeah. Say it again. Public TV is bust. Yes. I knew it was something like that. It was so hard to figure it out. Public TV is bust. How did we get talking about that?

I don't know. Moan, moan, moan. Oh, Spencer's gone. Spencer's gone. Yeah. So you got this other guy. Oh, yeah. In Gulf Shores. I think it was in Gulf Shores like Brad. I need your lawnmower guy. Yeah. And you're like, well, don't mention my name. I was like, well, don't mention your name. He

didn't love me. And when you know it right away, he didn't love me either. This guy's difficult. I think he's just I think he's a difficult guy. Maybe he's not as difficult as we think he was. I had a bad experience with him once. So maybe he is difficult. Maybe he's just a straight shooter. That's just i i think he's a difficult guy maybe he's not as difficult as we think he was i had a bad experience with him once so maybe he's difficult maybe he's just a straight shooter that's just like that's the kind of guy he is a lot of periods not a lot from wisconsin what does that say about him i don't know got some good friends no one knowing nicole from up in those

parts salt of the earth but also uh real too salty beer cheese of the earth. Beer cheese, spotted cows of the earth. Yeah, I don't know. I just, but yeah, they cut my lawn too short. And my gosh, did it have clumps everywhere. Never do they have clumps. They always do a good job. And I text them, I was like, listen, I don't want to be that guy.

I hate to be that guy. I'm not even asking for you to fix it. I'm just letting you know that whoever came and cut my lawn today didn't do the best job. I sent a picture to him of like all these clumps all over. I mean, it was bad. And it was like one of those things where it's like, if you cut it too short, I think you could like mess up the lawn. See, I don't know anything about lawns.

I would always tell Spitzer. I was like, hey, cut it short, baby. That way you don't have to come back for a couple of weeks. I used to think that when I was a kid, like, yeah, let's do it. And I still kind of wish obviously. Yeah. Cause then it doesn't get long throughout the week as long, but totally rains one time and it's long again, but I think it had rained. And so it was kind of wet. And then, so it was like clumpy and he was like, yeah, we were, they, they should have cut it like basically three different times today,

like on your lawn. And they, they only cut it once it looks like. So he's like, I'm going to come back tomorrow and fix it. Oh, wow. So I was confrontational with the confrontational guy paid off. It seems like if, if, uh, you pay for like someone to come and cut your lawn, they should bag it up for you. Well, yeah, I don't know about that because I think like there's something with the, you know, putting the grass back in there that makes it grow. Really? Yeah. You know what, what do they call that? You know, lawn. I don't know. Lawns. I don't know anything. I don't even know how to get mixed fuel.

I don't know if I know lawns that well, but you at least care about your lawn. I love a good lawn. I do not care about my lawn. I walk outside after a fresh lawn. Yeah. Month. Like what do you do?

They always come on Mondays. It's the golden hour. The kids are outside playing with these incredible new bases from Jake and Rachel. What do you do? And I just go, that's a good lawn, baby. That's nice. This is it. Catherine is obsessed with Kansas summers. And so summer nights specifically, she's like, this is the best part about living in Kansas is these like semi-cool, you know, 75, 80 degree nights. Last night we went a little spontaneous walk and I was bitching. I was like, it's a good time of year. It's nice, but not a lot of mosquitoes yet.

Yep. It's perfect. It's nice right now. We ate outside. We played baseball. We hit the golf clubs around last night. A lot of fun. That's fun.

And we're getting our lawns mowed. Getting our lawns mowed. Anyway, let's talk about Major Roasters real quick. We had a little phone call with them this week. That was my terrible. We got the busy signal. I taught Hattie about the busy signal the other day. I was like, so Hattie.

Yeah, whatever. I taught her what it was. She I was like, you're never gonna have to worry about this in your life. Just let you know. This is the thing. I can't wait to figure out other things that people like Hattie never have to worry about. I'm convinced like phones dying.

Like we're going to invent a battery someday where these phones just last forever. I can't wait. Right. I don't know how that's going to work. But anyway, had a very fun phone call with Main Street Roasters. Hopefully we'll have some cool news for you guys in the future. And whatever you're thinking, it's not even that.

Okay. So go ahead and think about your second option about what this phone call is about. It was probably your second or third option. Yeah, we would decline your first offer. Yeah, just go ahead and just give me your second one. But if you don't know, if you're a new listener, if your name's Andre, if you run out of gas frequently,

if you fit any of those categories. If you run out of gas literally or physically in your head, like, oh, I'm just sluggish today. I'm all out of mental gas. Take a little caffeine gas in the form of something of similar color. That's right.

We're talking about coffee. Go juice. Oh. What's that? Coffee. Go juice. Go juice? I've never heard it called that.

Don't you like that? It sounds like a Dragon Ball Z thing. They need a little go juice. I'm thinking of Goku. That's why. Need a little Goku go juice. Goku drinks Main of Goku. That's why. Need a little Goku Gojuice. Goku drinks Main Street Roasters, I bet. His hair

Tell us everything. I don't remember actually. I was pretty young. You know, I didn't really, I think it was okay. Yeah, she's back. Yeah, I think it was fine. It was a white-collar crime, so it's cool.

What was it? Tell us everything. I don't remember, actually. I was pretty young. I think it was embezzlement. It was a white-collar crime, so it's not that big a deal. That's funny.

She didn't murder anybody. I mean, not all sins are the same. No, I'm just kidding. I was a Pokemon guy for a little bit, pretended like I cared. Didn't really, but it was the same time as Dragon Ball Z, and I chose the Pokemon path. I was always so logical back in the day. You know, all these friends had Pokemon

cards. I'm like, you guys don't even know how to play Pokemon. You're just collecting the cards. So it's meant to be a game. Why would you collect them and not play? I remember I was just mad at my friends, constantly elementary school. Yeah. Me and Ashton are going out like, well, you're not going anywhere.

John Doe. Sarah Fields is a really like common name. Sarah Fields sounds like a CCM artist in 1998. I like Sarah Fields is the real name is Ashley Fields. Oh, uh, yeah, it was a real name. It was Ashley Fields. Oh. Yeah, that was the real one. Okay.

Ashley Fields. I think that was Grace Anderson. I can't think of, yeah. Dude, that's great. Speaking of Anderson, shout out Sydney Anderson for writing us, basically our own nonfiction book. She wrote us pages and pages of just like, thank you and thoughts and attached pictures with her grandparents. Yep. All the ghosties from session one. Thank you. We just got all this and thoughts and attached pictures with her grandparents. Yep.

All the go-sees from session one. Thank you. We just got all this in the mail. So send a shout out. Season two, we're waiting for you. Oh, for fun. So yeah. Surely we'll get to see you again sometime in the future.

Surely. Yeah. And maybe next time do a picture frame that has the thing where you can like lean it up because I'm just going to have to hold it here for the rest of the time. So. This is our only option. Yeah. So why'd you do this no nails around here so no thank you sydney that's so fun so sweet to get so oh man what about like let's just go through some more names dude who was like who was like in your head first guy to get facial hair um okay all right all right real name fake name or you just want me to tell you oh i just go

through some i think tyler robertson tyler robert ever call him t-rob though even teachers t-rob white kid even the teachers were called t-rob that's because he had facial hair so you could call him t-rob he was an adult they would call him sir you can't nickname a like a peach fuzz face kid you have to name like you like this kid's got some stuff going on um all right your turn give me uh a girl you would be pumped if you were sitting next to in class in middle school oh elise wilson elise i think i heard you and scott talk about elise wilson whoever this is i had a huge crush on her scott never i don't think scott ever saw the light but i was like oh yeah i even thought like if i marry this girl she had to be elise Ellis. I don't know if that's going to work. E-L-S, E-L-S. Yeah, yeah, yeah.

Oh, man. Elise was great. Elise Wilson. What about? Give me a best athlete in elementary school recess. Keegan Knight. Keegan Knight. Keegan Knight.

Undersized, but my gosh, the kid could throw a ball. He could shoot. He was shifty in the lane. What happened to the name Keegan? Because I had a Keegan in my life up until elementary school, and now I don't see any Keegans. Really? Keegans are gone. I didn't know Keegan was that popular in general. I think it's

extinct. Maybe so. Like after 98, Keegans are like, hey, all you have to change your name. I haven't seen one. I think I know a maybe 23-year-old Keegan. I was like, 23 Keegans? No, I think I know a Keegan. Kind of. Check back in 10 years. I bet you won't know him. No, I think I know. I know a Keegan. Kind of anything. Check back at 10 years.

I bet he won't know him. He won't be around anymore. His mom will be in jail. What about like the kid who just like ate some weird stuff in the cafeteria, like mix some weird stuff together? I don't know who that would be. Probably Tyler Evans. Tyler Evans.

Yeah. Bob Evans, son. Yeah. Tyler Evans, the only, I think the first athlete, maybe still the only Stratford athlete to go play a Division I sport. Wow. Yeah. He was just massive.

We'll give you an offensive lineman scholarship. Cool. You're big. We can teach you how to do it. You can't teach big. That's true. You know? You can teach speed.

All right. Who? Give me a teacher that everyone thought was so cool. Oh, okay. So cool. So cool. It seemed like Mrs. Crooks was the- Crooks?

Yeah. Wasn't it Crooks? Scott had her. I never had the cool teacher, man. I feel like my mom purposely was like, we're putting them with the good one. I don't think she ever pulled strings. She never told me, but it would make sense

because I was never with the easy, fun teacher. You were with the good, the really solid teacher. It has tenure. I think she won Teacher of the Year in Kansas one year. Hot dog. Mrs. Crooks, yeah. Take that, Diamond's mom. She was cool.

What about you? You got one? What's Mrs. Crooks' first name? Lisa. Oh, that'd fit for me. Yeah. Take that time. His mom, she was cool. So what about you? You got one? What's Mrs. Crooks? First name, Lisa. Oh, that'd fit for me.

No, what'd you want? Ah, Samantha, Samantha Crooks, Samantha Anderson. Fields. Was there one for you?

A cool teacher. Probably coach Perry. Yeah. You don't coach in front of it. Like, Oh, obviously. Yeah.

Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. He's a cool guy. Good teacher too. That's fun, oh, obviously. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Yeah, he's a cool guy. Good teacher, too. That's fun. That's fun.

I have another song this week, you know, trying to keep them coming week after week. It's fun. Thanks for liking all the songs previously, except this week things got a little different.

I wanted to write a song and have me and Tymon perform it for you based off of our mile run we had last week. I wanted that to be the subject of the song. And so I started writing this and then on the same day, within an hour of each other, Brandon Faulkner and Tymon

both text me the same URL to an AI generator song creation thing. So I was like, well, this is a sign. The fact they both text me at the same time. So then I was like, alright, Tymon, no worries. We're going to go down this path. So this is a completely AI

generated song. Wow. I gave it the lyrics and I said I want upbeat pop. Okay. And then it did lyrics and I said, I want upbeat pop. Okay. And then it did the rest. So this is the story of Tymon's four laps around the track.

So you submitted the lyrics. Yes. And then they made all the music for it. Yes. And this is the first try. There wasn't like, all right, do it again,

but have it be this measure or this, like have the chorus do this. This is first try, put it in this app, and here we go. This is our song of the week. Whoa! Clap along if you're drunk.

I'm on his track, the sun just high. Tim one starts his run. Yeah, call some Tim in. With a crowd of doubters, they're whispers loud. His speed's on the first lap, breaking from the crowd of doubters still whispers loud The speed's on the first lap Breaking from the crowd

Run, run, run your mile Push through every challenge, every trial When your legs scream stop, your heart says go Run, run, and let the whole world know No This is great. Run, run, and let the whole world know. No. You look great. Oh. Second lap tougher for the track.

Ducking frisbees, dodging soccer attack. The public eyes on him, a homeschool name. Tame on keeps his pace, eyes on him a homeschool maintainer keeps his pace eyes on the thing push through every challenge every trial when your next dream stop the heart says go run run and let the whole world know So you get the point. Every verse was a new lap, but you get the idea. That's really fun. I couldn't believe how catchy of a song it created with no instruction. That was like Rebecca Black Friday, like 2.0 to me.

Oh, that's way better than Friday. That reminded me of Hillsong Young and Free when they came out like 10 years ago or so um no i liked it i was not like a bash on the song it's just that's what it reminded me of gotcha yeah um so yeah i discovered this and i went crazy i was like i can't believe how easy this is i mean creating music will never be this great i mean this isn't perfect it's pretty low quality like sound quality and some of the lyrics like you couldn't even like hear them i was having a hard time understanding exactly what they were saying yeah when you like see the lyrics it's like oh yeah that's what they're saying but just listen to them it's a little tough so yeah i was going crazy trying to think of like all these

funny songs and i'm addicted to it yeah are you doing it too yeah i mean i you can the free version you can get like 50 credits a day which which is only five songs or whatever. And I've made four accounts. So I could just keep, I can go all day. Let's hear some more. Oh yeah. I paid for it. Cause I was like,

we're going to go nuts on the podcast. So I have 2,500 accounts or 2,500 credits. Okay. So we've got some, some money to blow. So that's what, how many songs? 500.

Like, I don't even know. Okay. Hundreds. Yeah. Um, here's another one I made. We 500? Like, I don't even know. Okay. Hundreds. Yeah. Here's another one I made. We can just listen to the first bit of it. Yay!

I saw her first at the county fair. Her sun-kissed hair just shining there. She turned around, my heart took flight. I knew I'd love her till the end of time. She's got that smile that lights up a room. Every time she laughs, I swoon. We shared a soda in a summer night. Everything about her just felt so right.

We'd talk about dreams under the moonlight. And in her eyes, I saw my whole life. If it's wrong, why does it feel feel so right I'm in love with my cousin and I can't fight my family tree's got deep roots and ties we'll get married at O'Shea tree where our love first came to be we both love mama's apple pie and we got the same life that makes us cry we got the same quirks the That's good. We need to play plenty of songs. So I'm not going to play for too long. We got a lot of smart play, but that was called forbidden love. We got, we got plenty of time. Let's yeah.

Keep listening. Um, keep listening. Forbidden Love. Yeah, I was just trying to think of funny premises for songs. Like, let's do a country song where you love your cousin. I created one where a vampire is in love with a garlic farmer. I was trying to think of anything just ironic. So do you write the lyrics for all these? I would have I would give ChatGPT

like a prompt. Like, hey, I want to write a country song about this. Have the chorus announce that you're in love with your cousin, but the rest of it sounds like a normal country song whatever talk about you have the same predisposition to disease whatever anything i think of to add humor content to the story um have you tried the like you know you can just like tell the song maker to also make lyrics yeah it's kind of fun yeah i uh streamline the prize but yeah that's also you can customize it better um i forget what the prompt was for this i think i said just make a pop song i said make a pop song in the style of mambo number five

okay just to see like what it could come up with and to be honest i don't remember what it sounds like so we're just gonna click on and see for ourselves oh wait sorry this is a song about um well you know i'm not even gonna tell you i you. I do remember. It wasn't just pop. A little bit of homeschool This is great. I mean, that sounds like a Kamiya Cabello song. That's a Scott song. I can't get enough of that kind of beat. I've been making so many reggaeton songs.

I was thinking like Mambo No. 5, like make a weird, like goofy song. And that was just like, oh, that's a catchy song about homeschooling. It mambo number five lyrics you realize that oh yeah i guess you're right a little bit of this a little bit of this yeah i actually didn't realize that so it probably just looked up what the lyrics were and was like okay i'll make a song like this you're right i should clarify the the melody of the song or whatever yeah but that sounded great um i tried doing other stuff where i would give it the words to like a popular song and then have it like you know here are the lyrics

to a whole new world make a duet in a new genre and that was i don't know not as that fun um let's see i'll play you one more and then we can get creating. I forgot what this one's even about. I fly way too high, but tell me, am I the only one? That's why government spies all this guy. Civilian stones, a clever government, a price feathers and be sized like a screen.

No watching our every move. If you know what I mean, swooping down, you're just for a show, but the truth is they're collecting data as they go. Is this Derek? Is Derek right this way? Yeah.

Cameras everywhere. They're watching you and you think they're not there. But I won't be fooled. I won't play the games. Birds aren't real. It's all part of the government's game. That's a song called Birds Aren't Real. And he did a pretty good job of the lyrics.

Really liked that one. Random aside, I don't know anything about this. I'm not trying to take a stance necessarily. Catherine and I were at the park the other night, and there was a plane that flew pretty close. What was going on with that airplane? Did you see that? I was outside too. Did you see what was coming out of it?

No. Just every once in a while, it would just spray something out of the airplane. Oh, interesting. And I don't know what chemtrails are really, but I think that's what people see and that's what makes them think about it. This was like the really low flying plane

over Shawnee. It was crazy low. I could read it said USA f i don't look like a military plane i know i was like so i was like usa usa go get it boys and then it kept going and it just like made circles around our neighborhood and just every minute or so just something would come out the back of it huh i never saw anything come out of it what's going on there so that's funny i was confused by that airplane yeah Yeah, the chemtrails conspiracy theory is hilarious, though.

You see the lines in the sky? It's how they sedate us, which every scientist ever is like, this is just how moisture and science works when you put out really hot air into the atmosphere. Well, what were they spraying? I don't know what these people were, what this person was doing.

What was going on in our neighborhood? I don't know. I'm glad you saw it, too, though. I did see the low-flying plane. I don't know what these people were, what this person was doing. What was, what was going on in our neighborhood? That I don't know. I'm glad that you saw it too though. I did see the low flying plane. I did a couple of laps. Kevin's like, it's going right over our neighborhood right now. So yeah, it was like, we were just pulling out of the driveway. Me and Rachel's mom and grandma, we all saw it. And I'm like, well, that doesn't normally happen.

I don't know what that is. That's kind of crazy. And it wasn't like the, the, I, at first, like, I was like i was like oh it's just the the smoke coming out of the airplane when it's flying like that's whatever that's just i'm not whatever but it didn't happen all the time it was just it was just every once in a while to just like little bursts what do you think it would be that's what i have no idea i don't know what they're trying to like put in the air and how much surely they have to put a ton of stuff in the air for it to affect us at all what would you like what kind of like i don't know what they're trying to like put in the air and how much, surely they have to put a ton of stuff in the air for it to affect us at all. What would you like?

What kind of like, I don't know. I don't even know what pesticide or I don't know what the word is. Some chemical that you breathe in and you get sick and then you need big pharma to vaccinate. I don't know what it is. I have no idea. I'm not really like even going to look into it that much.

Cause like, how much can I control this? I can't be like, Hey, plane figured it out please quit i'm gonna breathe elsewhere please go somewhere else i don't know not my house no not here not here dodge me please we're we have a podcast going on so right what would you like to hear a song about um i want to hear a song about timon's graduation. Graduation from high school. Let's just say graduation from high school in general.

And I want it to be a fast bluegrass song. Oh, fun. And I want it to... Like lots of banjo? Banjo would be nice, yeah. Banjo, a little mandolin. I have no idea how much you can customize any of this stuff. I've messed around.

You can add a lot of things in the instrumental description side of it. Yeah, I tried to make a song that was... I said, give me just a sitar for the whole verse, and then an EDM drop at the chorus that song didn't come through great but i was trying to really yeah like how much can you like can you be like okay just a single a single vocal track for the verse and then like harmony for the chorus or something like that i've tried including a few little things like that in the lyrics like yeah like in like parentheses before a verse like this has this instrumental but sometimes sometimes it'll kind of follow it and sometimes it'll just sing what's in the

it's kind of back and forth all right it's already done cool Whoa. Auto-tune. Chorus are all the way up. Whoa. drives. Now it's time to see what's beyond these skies. Oh, Ben Roe is calling our name. No more textbooks are staring at the same frame. We're breaking free. No more rules to abide. Graduation day day it's time to ride the tide not bad that's some trouble with the like melody for something i know that first line was crazy respond to be like can i do it again but like sing the right notes it was like the notes match with the chords it was like almost like a sweet song and then it was like i think they just don't know how to sing yeah that was

funny and it was like auto-tuned it's i guess that's probably what really i'm at the beginning time do you have any created you can text him to me and i can play him any that you're proud of let me see i'll i'll get i'll look through okay brad what's the other song you'd like yeah yeah yeah um i think i want to hear an acapella song like a a a large 50 person choir acapella song about um a three-year-old Great Is that good enough? It's creating You could even be in more Carol of the Bell style Already pressed create

Shart in my pants and Doing a dance Alright Name the song Oopsie Daisy Okay Little boy Just three years old. With his cute smile, he's a sight to behold. But oh my, what's that smell in the air He's got a little accident

And he just don't care In his little pants There's a mess to find But he's giggling, laughing Having a great time His face is all red Good acapella. Yeah. Good 50 verse choir. Yeah.

Here we go. I made it pretty emotional. Yeah, very image and heap. I wonder if you say like upbeat gospel choir. Feeling good. Pooping pants. Every day. Doing dance. Yeah.

All right. Upbeat gospel choir. The song is about? The song is about end of school. No, we already did graduation. The song's about the joys of a public park playground. Should be good vibes.

Alright, here it goes. It also is kind of nice. It creates two every time with the same lyrics, but it's slightly different. The second one is typically better, from my experience. Well, define better. It's preference time.

Define experience. It always creates you with a little album artwork, too, which is nice. All right. Gospel Choir. All right. Gospel Choir? All right. Let me click the first one. Maybe that one's better. I think my dad would love this song.

He's going to say very bluegrass gospel. I was like, yeah, country, Western, like gospel. That was great. Can you time in and Jake, if you notice, but like, can you like describe like the music to them? Like, can you do music theory and be like, give me these chords or like these, I don't know how to mess around with course specific chords. Yeah. I don't know that much about music theory, but it's like a one, three, four chord progression. Yeah. There

might've been one where I was trying to like, like see how you see if I could recreate an actual song. I gave it the lyrics and I might've like said the chord progression. Maybe I can't remember. What's this thing called? Uh, Suno S U N O.com. Cool. Um, Brad, give me like some music theory. I'll type it in and see if it can. I, I'm not even that like versed in music theory, but I think one, three,

four is like a very common, like chord progression. One, three, four. That's what I type in. I think that's what you could say. One,

three, four music theory. Let me just make sure. Um, didn't come up with much. Can you say like the, the names of the chords you could yeah say gcd sure um instead of 134 or is that the same thing instead of okay it's the same the idea of 134 is like you could be in the key of g and you could do gcd or you could be in the key of B and it'd be, you know, whatever B, what is it? I'm off on

whatever it is, but like the one, like it's the same thing, but just in different keys. All right. So we've got GCD chord progression. Yeah. Anything else you want? Um, make this like a acoustic, acoustic song with a punk rock voice. Kind of like Good Riddance by Green Day. We will try our best. A little bit of a grungy voice with a nice

soft music. While that's creating, I'm going to play one that Tymon sent me. Oh yeah, this one, I just wrote the lyrics for it, but I just wrote a bunch of nonsense, like sounds and stuff. And I gave it like, as like reggaeton, like deep bass kick drum kind of thing. I don't know.

Cool. It's kind of fun. Cool. Cool. Oh, this is great. A little Sean Paul vibes. Yeah, very beach. Oh, yeah. This is great. That's my favorite song. Yeah, very beach. Oh, yeah. This is great.

One of my favorite songs. Hey! Hey! I kind of like it with nonsensical lyrics like this. That's fun. Yeah. That's pretty neat. I love it. All right, here's the Midnight Sky GCD chord progression. In this magic moment Let your worries say goodbye The night is on canvas

Let's paint it with our moves Together we can create A symphony of grooves The bees contagious Spraying through the air I didn't get to the chorus yet. Is this the chorus? No.

Sounds like it. Very like good Charlotte. Yellow card. Hawk Nelson. Interesting. Was that GCD? It started out, I think. Yeah, it was close.

In some parts, I think. But then the chorus, that wasn't the chorus, apparently changed it up. It does have trouble with that sometimes. Sometimes the music will come in. It's funny, because you said acoustic, right? Yeah. But then you said punk rock,

and so it's like, we can only do one. In or out. Decide. Hot, cold. That's a fun thing. Feel free to try it out. Go see suno.com.

Suno. Suno? Suno? Yeah, suno.com. Pretty suno wrestlers so no um yeah suno.com pretty cool s-u-n-o i didn't hate the the random like syllables thing because it just sounded like it was a different language yeah it sounds like oh this is cajun something uh-huh yeah that was pretty fun it'd be fun to do like a you just like try to make it sound like a mcmiddle eastern like something like that but just a bunch of random syllables. Yeah.

Because I wouldn't have known the difference. Yeah. You know? That's what K-pop's been doing for years. People in Korea know. It's not Korean. It's not anything. That's really cool.

Yeah, I could see myself messing around with that for a while. Mess around with AI. Mess around with AI. That's New Year's resolution. There you go. You did it. Yeah it yeah suno is it like brand new i don't know how new it is it's crazy that timon and brandon both just like yeah i think it's been around for like at least a couple months maybe really so it's fun ed it's funny we both brought it up because i've seen things like that before like people like just the finished product before but i'm like i don't know where they're doing that so now now I know.

Some of those photo creators you try and you're like, this was a waste of 20 minutes. This is bad AI. It was terrible. I'm like, I'm not going to mess with it until somebody else messes with it first. What's that called? Not the early adapters. Adopters? Adopters, yeah.

I'm not an early... I'm going to prove the concept. Somebody else says, dude, those goggles are dope. Get some Apple Vision Pro things. Okay, I will. Okay, I will. Thanks for telling me, man. So, fun times, dude.

How long have we been going for this episode time? We're trying to do three episodes today. And so... Hour 17. Okay. What do you think, jake i'll do whatever i'm the one going to portugal next week you know this is my fault no no so i'll do whatever point the blame um let's do let's do some viral segments real quick yeah great it's working i don't know if you guys have seen our instagram it's working it's working dot dot dot kind of so the very first video we posted to try and uh beef up our our short form

content was the five most visited countries in the world and as of now it has 1.5 million views no way it's so crazy and we started out with what 11 and a half thousand followers on instagram let's see it'll tell you specific data points. 1.5 million views. Wow. We were able to get nine followers. 9,000 followers from that 1.5? Just singular, just the integer of nine followers.

900 followers. I mean, that's like less than 1%. Maybe that's an anomaly. 10 most popular sports in the world. Also, as of now, has 1.5 million views. Wow, dude. Which is insane. So, okay. Also, as of now, has 1.5 million views. Wow, dude. Which is insane.

So, okay. Let's see how many followers this got. Surely we got more than 900 on that one. Profile activity follows three. 3,000? We got three followers from that. Hey, let's scroll down. What's going on? Here's a video with 31,000 views with Beth Gee and TJ in it, the breastfeeding on the trampoline park clip. Only 30,000 views with Beth Gee and TJ in it,

the breastfeeding on the trampoline park clip. Only 30,000 views. Probably lost followers because of that. We gained 23 followers from that video. Isn't that interesting? So it's working. Yeah. It's like,

because we're getting them mostly on Facebook is what we've learned, right? The views are one point something million. It's like coming from Facebook. So you can't really follow unless you like click to go to Instagram. Yeah, you gotta go back on Instagram. So it's kind of working.

People are seeing our faces. Yeah, they're seeing us more. I think it's good for the algorithm. I mean, even just like our clip with Mike Hell, which was not designed to go viral, but it had more views than what we would normally get. So I think it's raising the tide. Yeah.

Shout out to Tymon for editing all those. You're doing a great job, man. Thanks. Yeah, those are great. We got more on the way. And let's do some more right now. All right. I've got some things.

I found a little document here. It was, all right, here's the intro. Crazy but true statistics. Ooh. Sharks have existed longer than the North Star. What? I don't know. Crazy but true.

That's what the internet says. Really? A little crazy. Uh-huh. But pretty true. Yeah, I don't know how that's possible yeah anytime people are like x amount of years i'm always like i'm out of this conversation wait what do you mean x amount of years like when they're like yeah sharks have been around for a billion years i'm always like i don't want to i don't want to get in that conversation but that's not gonna do on instagram

yeah what does it say it says that number polaris the star itself only formed 70 million years ago hey hey hey get out of here it doesn't have to be literal days right guys whereas the first sharks evolved 450 million years ago. This is a fun segment. This is funny. This article says, also, sharks are older than trees.

Yeah, of course. They're just period. Yeah, well, I mean, you outlive in the stars. No doy. Yeah. All right. This one's crazy.

51% of all Americans age 16 to 72 cannot read above a sixth grade level. What? Crazy but true. Crazy but true. Crazy but true. Crazy.

51% half of American adults cannot read above a sixth grade level. Well, I'm reading here comes... Oh my gosh. It's true. Well, this says BuzzFeed. This is saying...

Whoa. I swear I could read that i don't know so that's that's crazy but true that's crazy and maybe true how many 51 wow 16 to 72 year olds wow all right you are closer in time to a t-rex than a T-Rex was to a Stegosaurus. Really? That's hard to believe. It feels like there's dinosaur time and there's human time. Yeah, yeah, yeah. And they're very far apart.

Like T-Rex was not yesterday. T-Rex-ter-day. Yeah, T-Rex is... Where were they roaming around? It feels like Trex-ter-day. It feels like a billion years ago. Ah! Oh, hey, whoa!

That's crazy, though, in estimation that the T-Rex... You imagine them hanging out in the same neighborhood. Like, we're having a block party. T-Rex is coming. Stag's coming. Right? Velociraptor will be there. Brachiosaurus is maybe.

Brachiosaurus is coming. I've got to be there, dude. Nope. Not happening. What does it get for the... Exclamation for that. Goodness gracious, my voice.

I don't know if that's duh. They're the most dangerous sharks? Duh. I don't know if that's duh. They're the most dangerous animal in the world.

I don't know if I knew that. Oh, really? I wouldn't be that scared of a hippo if I saw it on the street. Oh my gosh, yeah. Yeah? They're so fast, aren't they? Are they coming for me? They have the strongest bite. I knew they had a strong bite, but do they bite me? I think if they're hungry, they would. What? Yeah. So if I see one, get the heck out of the way.

Like, run. If you see a hippo, then where in the world are you? How did you get there? Go home. Okay. Yeah, where would you have to be to see a hippo? Africa. Or a zoo.

Or a zoo. This place is a shit zoo. All right. Okay, this is a good one. Caterpillars have more muscles in their bodies than humans do crazy i don't know who wrote this is some seventh grader who's just who's finding the muscles on a caterpillar like who's who's saying this is my life's work i can't wait to just get under a microscope and check all those muscles. And I wonder if this is like, is this compared to me or is this compared to a weightlifter? Like, well, we all have the same amount of muscles. It feels like they have more. You develop more muscles. Yeah. Interesting. So caterpillars can lift more than weightlifters.

Is that what you're saying? That's what it says. It says it's giving me bench press numbers and it looks like they're doing all right. Really? This video is insane. Yeah. I go for tone. I do tone. I'm a tone guy. This one says, not really statistics,

but the lighter was invented before the match. Crazy, but true. Crazy, but true. But just might be true. This one. This one's crazy.

This one's crazy. This one's crazy. Yeah, it's true. Interesting. What was... I don't know if I even buy that. Most of these that I've said out loud, I don't buy. I think pretty much all of them, except for the hippo thing. I'm only saying the ones that truly sound false.

Crazy or true, yeah. The leading... I don't even know if I want to say it. No, this is fine. It's crazy. It's crazy. The leading cause of death for pregnant American women is homicide?

Jeez. Clip that. How? There's just no way that that's true. Just... This is quoting Harvard.edu. ever heard of it what's their motivation really okay homicide versus what though maybe i don't know what homicide means geez there's another one about homicide okay this is this is good, too. 20% of meerkat fatalities are due to other meerkats.

They are the most homicidal animals on Earth. Besides humans. Besides pregnant women. Besides pregnant women. People always talk about black on black crime, white on white crime. What about human on pregnant? What about utero on utero crime? Yeah, what about fetus on fetus?

Fetus deletus. So, like, do not put meerkats together or else you have five meerkats. One of them, it's a cage match. One of them is gone. I would like to see a meerkat versus meerkat and also a betta fish versus betta fish. What about a meerkat versus a betta fish?

I would also like to see that. I would pay to see that. In water. What about a meerkat protecting a betta fish from another betta fish? I would also like to see that. Meerkat just keeps batting it away. Two chickens on a goat.

Yeah. What about a mirror cat in a mirror? A mirror cat. What about a cat in a mirror? Yeah. Versus a mirror cat. Mirror cat. Would a mirror cat with a mirror take itself out?

We'll call it that. That would be on a hard watch if so. Self-homicide. Dude, speaking of that. I don't know. I don't know if we should. Okay. Whatever.

All right. I'll just save it for another episode so it doesn't sound like it's related. Okay. Let's see if there's any other good ones. No. Dumb. Dumb.

Dumb. Dumb. This one's not hard to believe but it's funny there are more panda express locations than living pandas they're like the most famous endangered animal i feel like it's pretty easy to believe that there might be more fast food locations than pandas no that that is kind of mind-blowing it's just a funny fact because how many panda express i i would imagine there's 300 of them like there's there's must be way more than i think of locations or are there only 300 pandas in the world let's see how many pandas are left in the world how many panda express locations are there um approximately 1800 giant pandas in the wild, about 600 in zoos and breeding

centers. 2300. How do I get to go to a breeding center? Take me one of them breeding centers. Lock me up. Yeah, take me

doing 15 to life in the old breeding center. 2300. I better have a black eye when I'm done with the breeding center.

Look like these pandas. Oh my gosh. 2300 I better have a black eye when I'm done with the breeding center look like these pandas oh my gosh 2300 stores that's a lot of panda expresses so what I'm hearing is crazy but true so you're telling me if you tried to hire a panda as a manager for every single store couldn't do it you'd run out

you'd have an endangered manager endangered manager is so stupid. Oh, that's fun, man. So do you think any of that will go viral? Yeah, I think all of it will. I feel like sometimes we make it easy on time and where it's like that whole clip took 90 seconds, cut it down to 60.

This is like, hey, we talked about homicide for a bit there and it lasts about 10 minutes. Can you cut that out in six seconds? So figure out, yeah. But then again, you could do six clips from that. Yeah. So, okay. This is an easy one. Two's good, two's good. Easy one to clip here, time. All right. figure out five yeah but but then again you could do six clips from that yeah so uh okay this is a easy one who's good who's good easy one to clip your time all right do you know how to rank blindly

Yeah. Man, I'm a real piece of work. I am out to lunch. Man, you know, I haven't seen the clip. So as far as I knew, it was just, it was deleted from my memory.

You ever tried the Spiced? Oh yeah, they did come out with something like that. I never- I'm scared of Spiced. Yeah, why? Why are we trying to like make it any more fizzy than we need to? I was actually asking Angie Koop and her mom recently about if they remembered New Coke in

the 80s. Oh, yeah. Because I did a project on it, and that seemed like a big deal in my research. I was like, well, I wasn't born. I don't know how big a deal this was, but Coke tried to change the recipe, and everyone just, they protested over it. Yeah. Did they remember it? Yes, they did. They didn't remember it being called New Coke. They're like, I don't know about New Coke. I remember a time when Coke tried to change their recipe. I was like, I think that's the same thing.
