Happy Monday, Ghosties! We are so excited to be recording another podcast and excited you're listening to it. We're going to start off with a little magic trick today. Brad, you are somehow going to unlock Tymon's phone. Believe me? Or is it too crazy? It just, it's too quiet. No way. My work. It's quiet. There No way. My work. It's quiet. There's no way this works. It's so crazy.

It just might be too quiet. All right. I'm ready to unlock. All right. Here's the... We got the calculator app. We got Trey Kennedy texting me. If it's not Trey, it's John.

What is that you've been alluding to? John Crist. Okay, Brad, I want you to give me a two-digit number. 65. 65? Wait. And why'd you choose that number? Just because I saw a six and a five, and I just thought, I'm going to answer quickly.

Great. Yeah. 65 times. Now I want you to give me another two-digit number. I'll tell you why I chose this one. 11. It's my favorite month, November. Great. Now let's go back over to time. And I want you to give me a one digit number. We're going to multiply this number by four. Four. Great. Why'd you choose that? And then Brad, I want you to give me a two-digit number to divide this by.

Two-digit number? Yep. 98. 98. Okay. Now, Tymon, I want you to give me another two-digit number. We're going to multiply this by. Two digits.

39. 39. Okay. And then, Brad, one last... Give me a single-digit number. Eight. Eight. All right, now we need one last one.

Time to give me a one-digit number to divide this by. Okay. Three. Three. I'm going to press equals here. What is that number, Brad? Two, two, five, six. Time, do you want to hand Brad your phone? Sure. I'm going to press equals here. What is that number, Brad? 2256. Tymon, do you want to hand Brad your phone?

Sure. See if you can get into Tymon's phone. What the heck? You have to push the power button. Thank you. I'll get there. 2256. Jake, what the heck?

That's pretty cool. Tymon asked me off the podcast. He's like, sometime, can you show me that one magic trick? And so I thought I'd do it with Tymon's phone himself. What do you think? Any thoughts? I'm dumbfounded a little bit. I'm like, does it always work?

Yeah, it's the same. Yeah, it works every time. That same password. Wow. See, that's the trick is that this password stays the same.

Yeah. Isn't that crazy, guys? Wow, that's pretty, that's impressive. I don't know what to say. I have no,

I have genuinely no idea how. Have I showed you how, Bren? I thought it was just math. Probability. Yeah, you showed me how. Yeah, it's just math so i don't remember it exactly but time and keep playing your cards right maybe i'll show you um now brad is going to show time in his magic trick i'm gonna make this theme song reappeared.

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

Cause this is a ghost. Podcast. Monday. Monday. We're back. How you feeling? Great. Fine. Wonderful.

How are you? All those? Yeah. I feel great. I feel rejuved. I feel awesome. Another great week. Another great week on earth.

Yeah. We are getting ready to go to Texas on Thursday. Tell me more. Another great week on earth. Yeah, we are getting ready to go to Texas on Thursday. Tell me more. Let me tell you more. It's a little bit complicated, Jake. So we're going out of Texas partially for a wedding, partially for a vacation with Catherine's family. We're going down to Cinnamon Shore, Texas, which is near Port Aransas, Texas, which is near Corpus Christi, Texas, which is south of Mexico. Yeah. I don't know.

Whatever. Yeah. It basically is Mexico. I mean, it's on the Gulf of Mexico, way far down there. 16 hour drive from here. It's going to be a bear of a time. So you drive eight hours to Dallas. Correct.

And then eight hours to get to a different spot in Texas. But let me tell you something. I have to, I get to do it with four kids. One of them who is relying on his mother's chest for sustenance. Yeah, sternum. Another one who is learning how to not go to the bathroom in her pants. Yeah. And two of them who are like oil and water.

No, it'll be great. Actually doing that in one day. No, we're not. No, we're going to, because Catherine's family lives pretty much halfway. So, so no, we're not even kind of doing one day. That's the, that's where it gets complicated, Jake. Okay.

And so, so yeah, we're going down there for a wedding on Friday. So we're leaving Thursday, wedding Friday, and then we're leaving for the beach on Sunday on Friday. So we're leaving Thursday, wedding Friday, and then we're leaving for the beach on Sunday. Okay? Okay. Got it so far? We tracking?

Yeah. Horse's name was? Close, wonderful family friend, ministry friend, K-Life friend, Emily Coring is getting married Saturday in Kansas City. Fun. Friday is a wedding in Texas for Catherine's family. Like we can't miss the family wedding, but we're like, dang, we would be so fun to go to Emily's wedding. And so Catherine on a whim, like not even like in the way of like suggesting like, Hey mom, can we do that? Like, just was

like, yeah, we're really bummed. We wish we'd go to this wedding on Saturday. Catherine's mom's like, well, why don't you just go like fly back Saturday morning, go to this wedding Saturday night and then fly back down to Texas Sunday. Oh wow. And so Catherine's like, do you want to do it? And I was like, I really, I mean, I love the corings, like Emily's the bride, like her younger brother, Peter is like one of my favorite kids I ever did. It was like Peter and Isaac were like my two like closest boys, ministry boys. Like, um, and I was like, yeah, I would love that. They are, they mean a lot to us and we've kind of seen them grow up and it was like, it'd be a really cool wedding to be at. So yeah, we are literally like just Catherine, me and Henry are going to fly back up Saturday morning to Kansas

city and then fly from Kansas city to Corpus Christi Sunday. Ooh. And so Catherine's parents are like, yeah, we'll just drive your three kids down. They're doing the eight-hour drive. They're doing eight of the hours, yeah. I'd go to the wedding too. I know. I don't care how many points it's going to cost us, man. No.

Yeah, truly. And I tried to emphasize 20 times. I was like, will you please make sure your parents are not just okay with this, but are really okay. make sure they know what you're signing up for fully. Like, I want to make sure that it's not like any kind of, we are trying to make you do this, even though you don't want like whatever, like, and her parents are very kind and doing it. And so anyway, all I have to say then, yeah, so we're going from Texas, Casey, Corpus Christi, like whatever, all this different stuff. So it should be an interesting time.

But yeah, there's this area in Corpus Christi called Cinnamon Shore. It was kind of like the Carlton Landing of Texas. Like it's like this, or seaside of Texas kind of thing, where it's like this concentrated neighborhood area kind of thing, really new development, beautiful place. So we'll see how it goes. Down there all week?

Yeah, Down there from like Sunday through Friday and then Saturday, Friday, I think we drive. Yeah. Your Saturday, Friday or Saturday, you got to do all the driving back though. Oh yeah. 16, but not, well, we'll, we'll stop in Sherman on the way. Yeah. But still, yeah, yeah, yeah. All the drive back. Um, so it'll be an adventure. Bo's really excited. He's bringing his tractor cause Cause he's like, it's going to make tracks on the sand. And I'm like, you're so fun. Yes, I will. How he's going to bring her remote control Jeep.

She's going to, she's really excited about that. She's going to put that. She's like, yeah, maybe it'll like go over the waves. I was like, how do you don't do that? That's going to ruin it to serve. You each, you like let them bring like one, like big toy kind of thing. Oh, I'm sure. I don't know what Catherine's you like let them bring like one like big toy kind of thing oh i'm sure i don't know what katherine's gonna let him bring katherine is is kind of like this i love katherine

for this but i also am like sometimes just so much more of a minimalist than she is with this stuff like she just idealizes like the idea of vacation to an extent but i think she also kind of is like listen they need stuff to play with because i'm just like no we don't need to pack all this stuff like she's like should we pack their scooters should we pack their bikes i was like how where we're that we don't have room for all this stuff should we should we get a christmas tree on the way yeah they might like this stuff to have in like at the beach i was like well sure but like maybe they just learn to enjoy the beach without that stuff you know um we we are going to bring the baseball stuff with the bases because i think they would have fun with that and pack the bases

yeah that's not that hard like but i'm like we don't need like a scooter doesn't fold we don't have like the razor scooters it's like a plastic size Full size. Yeah. It's like, it's a right angle where we, that doesn't pack easily in the back of the truck. Mounted to the top of the van. Yeah. We're going to be those families eventually that have like the, yeah, the camper or whatever. Not the camper, but like the extra storage.

What are you hauling up there? Just scooters. Just, you know, scooters. Scooters. Sidewalk chalk. Yeah. Soccer balls. Yeah.

Like her bike still has training wheels on it. Yeah, hard pack. No. I'm like, we got to draw a lot. And I don't think she was saying bikes. But anyway, she just has like all these different ideas of like, we could bring that. We could do this. I'm like, how about less?

You know what that reminds me of? Rachel has asked this summer. She's like, every time we're like eating a meal at the house, maybe, and we want to put something on TV. Can this be the summer of parks and rec? I want to get you into parks and rec. So can we watch that? We've only watched two episodes so far, but people really downplay the first season to where now my expectations are so low.

I think it's great. And in the very first episode, Leslie Nope is talking about the plan she sees for this, like little bitty area of the park. And she's like, Ooh, we could put like some swing sets over there. Maybe some

bocce ball field for a regulation football field or whatever she says. It was really cracked me up. We said regulation football field. I mean, it's such a tiny area. She already rattled off seven different types of fields. That's soccer field, baseball field, rodeo arena regulation football field. Just call you to regulation football

like the way that comes out of your mouth is funny. Yeah, I thought that was so funny in episode one. It is a funny first season, but I think if you're like, is this the show? Then you're going to be like, okay, I guess it's fine. But then you keep watching it

and it's like, holy cow, this is incredible. Yeah, so far it's good. That's my feedback for that. Cool. Yeah, they haven't developed many of the other characters yet. It's kind of just Leslie right now. So I'm sure they'll get better at that. I'm excited to see more of, what's his feedback for that. Cool. Yeah. They haven't developed many of the other characters yet. It's kind of just Leslie right now. So I'm sure they'll get better at that.

I'm excited to see more of a, what's his name? Andy. Yep. Andy doesn't really come. I don't know. Maybe he does. It doesn't matter.

I want to, I want to get your personal opinions. I don't want to, I don't want to sway him too much. I will say that Amy Poehler is just funny. Always like she's good. Very similar. Michael Scott vibes,

which makes sense. It's the same creators of each show and that's fine. Yeah. But I think they, I think they were trying now I am going to give you my opinion I think they were trying really hard to make her like a Michael Scott 2.0

and then eventually they realized that's not her character I watched a video essay on this recently they say that yeah gosh I should do video essays

oh best days best days it sounds like something very similar really similar to that yeah

yeah because she's like kind of like this bumbling, like, okay, everyone's annoyed with her kind of thing. And then all season three and four, she becomes a freaking superwoman. Like Sex Appeal? Oh, my God. Can't watch it with the kids.

No. We are America's best clean comedy podcast. Striving. Striving. Yeah, exactly. We're on perfect. Figuring it out. So what if we stumble every once in a while?

On what, guys? I'm excited for you to watch more Parks and Rec. Yeah, it's the summer of Parks and Rec. It's the summer of Caesar salads for me. It's the summer of... We've named a few other things we're trying to get into. Rachel's trying to domesticate an outdoor cat. You see that when you walked in? I saw a lot of ants around that bowl.

Really? I haven't even been outside today. Yeah. Uh, yeah. Rachel's so funny. She's always on some kind of kick. She's always up to something.

And, uh, this week she is bought cat food and a pink little bowl and is trying to get a cat to like get in the habit of eating out of our front porch bowl. Yeah. And, uh, so that's what she, I don't know what the end goal is or why, but she just wants to have a cat. Well, part of it was like to protect you from mice, right? Oh yeah. I think initially that was the idea. Yeah. We haven't had any mice or caught any mice in three or four weeks now. So maybe it's because of the cat. yeah rachel has named it pickle okay we haven't seen

it yet does it eat your food it has one time and rachel had to bring the food actually closer to the door because it was raining and so it wasn't in the ring doorbell coverage anymore so we've not seen any we don't know what ate the food it may not even be a cat you think it would pick up on a cat's movement like is that sensitive it seems so sensitive i mean it would pick up on a cat's movement? Like, is that sensitive? It seems so sensitive. I mean, it shows me, you know, a big leaf falls and it's like, hey, we got activity. Oh, yeah. Like, all right, we're good. Pickles. If she's awake, will she talk to pickles?

Pickle singular. Pickle? Pickle. Okay. Yeah. Yeah, I think she'd be pumped to see pickle. Yeah. But also, keep in mind, this isn't a real cat. We don't have a specific cat in mind. It's like, once we see a cat, it will be named pickle pumped to see pickle. Yeah, but also keep in mind. This isn't a real cat Yeah, we don't have a specific cat in mind. It's like once we see a cat it will be named. That's pickle. Yeah. Yeah Okay, that's fun little kick we got going on right now hypothetically One cat comes eats once then another cat comes eats five times See a new pickle or is he?

onion We also talked about naming a cat Grandpa. So maybe the second cat would be Grandpa. Okay. So, dude, I don't know about you and Catherine. I've talked about this before. I'm always just so weird around the house. It's so weird with Rachel.

Always trying to make her laugh. And I've talked before about the weird nicknames I give her. You know, at first it was Bubs. And then it turned into Buster. And now it's Bud. We call each other Bud all the time, which is embarrassing to do it, you know, if we catch ourselves doing it in public.

But always call each other. Hey, Bud, is embarrassing to do it you know if we catch ourselves doing it in public but always call each other hey bud i'm over here how's bud doing i went through a kick where i would call her the wrong pronoun so i'm like how's bud oh he's just scrolling on his phone i don't know why that was a thing for like a week i would just call her like male pronouns ah there's bud he's always up to something and then more recently my kick has been i don't know why, just one night, we're sitting on the couch and watching something and Rachel's like,

all right, I think I got to head to bed and I was like, hey, if you're going to bed, give grandpa a hug. I just called myself grandpa. I was like,

hey, you can't get to bed until you give grandpa a hug. And then she came over and gave me a hug and I was like, all right, run along.

Yeah, right. So I just, it was her grandpa character. You want a butterscotch candy me a hug and I was like, all right, run along. Yeah, right. So I just, it was her grandpa character. You want a butterscotch candy? And yeah, I was like, now what do I always tell you? He's like, say please and thank you. I mean, we were just riffing all of a sudden. I was like, that's good.

All right, run along. So grandpa's been the latest kick. Sometimes I'm grandpa, sometimes she's grandpa. When Rachel called me and was like, after her HR interview, I was like, after her HR interview, I was like, so? She said, grandpa's got a job. And I said, all right.

Grandpa's got a job. Yeah, papa's got benefits. Grandpa's coming out of retirement. You know, that generation, you can't keep them down. They want to keep working. That's right. Silent generation.

That's our kick right now. I mean, I'm convinced that you're not going to ever be weirder than with your spouse like yeah like you i i can't think of specific examples and i don't think katherine and i are as weird as we probably have been at certain points of our marriage because they're not as goofy as right now whatever but like oh yeah there's times where it's like no one else probably think would think this is funny ever but like yeah we just have this weird quirky way of talking to each other yeah we're up to something uh never have i called her grandpa but i think that i can remember you know uh give grandpa a hug in my room but yeah man and there's something different about like laughing with your spouse versus laughing with your friends i think there's just like something special about like when you have like a really good,

hilarious moment with your spouse. There's like, is there something special about it? You know, I can't remember exactly what she did or said the other day, but sometimes, especially Catherine, like obviously I make jokes all the time, make jokes for a living kind of, but like she doesn't obviously.

Sometimes you can tell you like she was very proud of that joke. She knew it was good. Joe. It's so funny when somebody thinks they're so funny, you know what I mean? And so like that, I'm just laughing at how proud she is of this,

whatever, all these different things. So, um, yeah, it's marriage is fun, man. It's,

uh, yeah, it's, it's quirky. It is fun. It unlocked a whole new side of it. Cause there's always asked like, were you around this,

like this, like with Isaac and Harrison? Like, absolutely not. Right. No, totally. I didn't even know I had this in me. Cause there's always ask like, were you around this like this, like with Isaac and Harrison? Like absolutely not. Right. No, totally. I didn't even know I had this in me. Right.

You just unlocked this thing where I'm just like, I will make you laugh constantly. That's my only goal. Right. And Rachel gets excited. She's like, I know you're going to be like this with our kids someday. So it was like,

Oh, I'm sure I'll kick it up a notch. 10 exit. Totally. With kids. Oh yeah. Yeah. Your,

your personality in general, it just continues to change. Yeah. Or maybe not even change as much as you're saying like is brought out it's like revealed yeah i had this in me i just didn't care to call isaac grandpa i guess you're like too worried like like isaac might leave me rachel rachel has to stay that's weird yeah yeah man maybe that's a sign of like not not saying that isaac and harrison whatever weren't good friends but i was like maybe that's a sign of like not not saying that isaac and harrison whatever weren't good friends but i was like maybe that's a sign of like like the the closer you are with somebody the more they bring out xyz and you yeah it's like it's pure comfortability is what it is just

like unfiltered just like yeah comfort myself i was talking to you talking voice memoing uh jensen back and forth the other day and he talked about like he's like there's a friends and there's B friends. He's like, he's like B friends are great friends, but you kind of have to work at this friendship of like, you know, like, Oh man, like, you know, it just doesn't feel as natural. It doesn't feel as like easygoing. Whereas a friends, it's just like the minute you meet them, you're just like, this guy's awesome. You know what I mean? And I feel like we were talking about like, I just feel like you're like an a friend to me oh that's nice and i i feel like that with i've been fortunate i feel like this past year of like tj or may not past year but whatever two years tj and jensen both it feels like these two friends it's like i love them and i i think they're awesome but it's

also like so easy like it wasn't like oh man this cool. I'm going to work really hard to like get to know him and like, whatever. It was just like, all of a sudden we're just best buds, you know, which is the best. Yeah. Like summer camp type friends.

Like, oh yeah. Right. Right. Yeah. And like, even if we don't talk for two months, it's like,

we're still, we're still tight. Like, it doesn't have to be like, oh man, I got to keep it up with them or else I'm never going to talk to them again. Kind of thing. You know, a friends, oh man, I got to keep it up with them or else I'm never going to talk to them again. Kind of thing. You know, a friends, a friends, a list friends.

Yeah. Oh, grandpa. Uh, I've been walking a lot recently. Like I said, just really enjoying it. Maybe it's like endorphins from walking because this is like such a silly thing to enjoy, but enjoying like walking and like trying to find cool spots around us because our neighborhood is so random. I think we talked about it before. Like there's just little pockets of like, whoa, this house is an amazing house in the midst of things that aren't very, you know,

are kind of mundane or whatever. Um, one of the things I've noticed, and I can't tell if it's like a traveling one thing or if it's like a trend. So I'm asking you slash the ghosties, uh, weird, weird, just decor that these houses have is like, have you seen, I don't know. I think I've probably seen on three different lawns now. I'll call it 12 foot tall skeletons. Have you seen this? Like not around Halloween time? No dude. Like year round, like let's decorate this skeleton. Like right now i walked like past one the other day that had like it was a skeleton that had like beach like a swimming suit on and like had like a floaty around it and stuff i can't even imagine this what a strange thing to decorate with i think so too it's like i first of all just halloween decoration general you know

how i feel you don't like all that stuff but like yeah so why are we putting up a skeleton in the front yard of our house? Have you seen anything like this time? There's one on the way. There's like, there's one in Lenexa kind of near our church. Maybe there's two of them in this house. Actually. It's just like creepy. I don't know. Skeletons are creepy. Wait. I remember like Lenexa area. I feel like I'm thinking of it. No, no. Unlock it, Tymon. You got this. No, it was near like the Meadowbrook Pickleball Courts. At one point, there was like a house.

It was a whole bunch of stuff. They go all out only for Halloween. Really? Okay. Yeah. I feel like they go way too all out. And maybe they go all out for other stuff. I feel like you really notice it in Halloween. They do like Christmas lights, but Halloween lights.

That's what I was thinking of. Dead lights. Is that Lenexa? No, it wasn't. Yeah, you're right but yeah you're right crazy yeah i just don't maybe people are maybe people out there have skeletons as decorations i don't know i don't get it i don't i don't know like like i said like maybe it's like a gag gif thing where it's like let's prank let's like move it around to four different people's houses and i just happen to see these people's houses it's like an elf on the shelf thing yeah like oh you got skeleton you got skellied you got boned like whatever but i don't know i don't know about it i'm sorry that's ruining your walk vibe no it's not ruining it's just one of those things where

it's like i'm sorry you're having the worst days ever sorry sorry sorry that just like ruined your entire you said clinical depression dang i. I'm sorry, man. Yeah, I just wrote it down because I was like, is this like a trend? Is it one of those things I just don't get? Is it, yeah, I don't know. I don't know if it's like... Somebody out there, explain the bones to Brad. Yeah, I've been selling,

like I'm a skeleton salesman. I've been selling a lot of them to people. I don't know, it's weird, man. Should we, well, let me just go and ask permission to go viral permission granted before we get into this one of the uh little clips we tried to do recently did a few of them where you asked me to blindly rank something let's get it out there right now i don't know if everyone understands what blind ranking is. We posted this clip and it hadn't even gone viral. These are like our fans, like our people who know us are commenting like upset that I didn't pick a better Tom Hanks movie.

Yeah. Saving Private Ryan like a word. No Green Mile. Yeah. Like I only have the five Brad gave me. I'm blind ranking the five Brad gave me. So in case you don't know, that's,

what's the fun of the game is like, I don't know what the word bank is. I don't know what to choose from. Brad has preselected five options out of a category. Right. And I'm trying to rank them best. Yeah. I was shocked at the amount of comments.

I'm like, wow, really no big, I did see it on our, yeah. Even on our, uh, one of,

one of our social YouTubes. Somebody was like, yeah, Private Ryan has entered the chat. I was like, okay, that's not it. That's not part of it. It's out of the five. Yeah, it's out of the five. You have to blind rank them. Yeah. And other people are like, I don't get why he's, I don't get why he's covering his eyes. All right. All right. I said that

I guess I wasn't that funny. I just, I thought, you know, it's kind of funny. A little quirky thing. Blind ranking. No worries. You have to have a little bit of an assumption's kind of funny, a little quirky thing, blind ranking. No worries. You have to have a little bit of an assumption that this person is somewhat smart that you're watching a video of. Like, and that's why it's funny that you're blind ranking. Or else, like if you're just like,

this guy's an idiot. Like, yeah. Like, why is he, he doesn't have to literally close his eyes. Dude, I literally saw someone reply to them and I was like, okay, they're going to explain it. And they reply to them and they're like,

maybe it helps them concentrate or something like that. I was like, dang it.'re going to explain it and they reply to them and they're like, maybe it helps them concentrate or something like that. They think I don't know any Tom Hanks movies and they think I have to have my eyes closed to think. Oh my gosh. Yikes. That's funny. So kind of funny but also was like, you guys should know how this works. I'm not going to do any

blind rankings, but just so you know, we're not doing any more, you know, done with that. Yeah. All right. This will be a fun one for you to do brad just say let me before before we get into too much time and i'm going to send you some stuff okay quick okay i'm going to send you i'll send to jake too but take some stuff all right go ahead jake okay well now okay i figure it out later. This is based off of 2023. Okay, Brad, give me the five most commonly used emojis.

Ooh, how am I going to do that? You'll show me. Okay, with my face? Yeah, with your face and describe them. What do you think would be best? Number one's got to be crying, crying, laughing emoji. Crying, laughing is number one okay um number two my favorite i'm not gonna do number i'm not gonna go okay uh my next one that i use a lot the eyeballs eyeballs are not in the top 10 what

that's a little weird that's okay what about what about just big eyeball emoji face like this like yikes here get your face back to normal that's on the top 10 that is that's not in the top 10 what for real uh Okay, okay, okay. Maybe I'm just too Christian, but give me praise emoji hands. No. Dang it! Praise down for that.

Which, by the way, Tymon's just been quietly rehearsing for a show for two months.

I don't know if he ever told us. Just surprised to come see my show this weekend. Yeah, you mentioned it maybe, but yeah, not much. Up until show week, I forgot to even tell a lot of people about it. Well, how much were you rehearsing for this one versus since? Was there more or less for this one? Pretty similar. Just a few months of weekly and then show week.

It's like every night. How'd it go? It went well. Jake, how'd it go? It was fun. Good crowd when I went. It's Saturday night. They were saying something. They announced they were recording it that night. Yeah, I think they recorded both of Saturdays.

Whichever one maybe went better, they would use. I don't know. Yeah, that was great. Tymon had a fun little part time and uh you know when you put you up there against not against but with other well let me just say you look like you had a lot of rhythm when it came to like all the dancing you were doing like this little move oh you really look smooth up there thanks i don't know just because maybe the people next to you did not have as much rhythm or maybe you just got it. But that was one of my takeaways. Interesting,

because I've never been like a coordinated, like physically, like a dancer person at all. Like sports wise, not at all. Like, I thought you looked smooth.

Well, maybe everyone else was like doing the right thing and Tymon was like, I liked how he like took his own liberties and like, I don't know,

he wasn't confined. Everyone else was moving just like in the exact same way and you were just kind of like flowing to your own beat man really really impressive stuff um timon's friend zach uh was the lead he was boaz okay and he did great yeah yeah uh i got time in the decks autographs afterwards okay that was fun we're on the play bill what are you doing on yeah and uh in the end i rachel and i took more pictures than anyone on the cast there were a lot of like i guess ghostwriters fans or something there so we'd have taken a lot of pictures i felt kind of bad you were like surrounded i was like i hope that this is like not like super uncomfortable i didn't anticipate that i was like i knew i this is like not like super uncomfortable i didn't anticipate that

i was like i knew i didn't i don't know i didn't realize how many of my friends were like actually like really interested in like talking to you guys yeah it was fine i wouldn't describe it as uncomfortable it just makes like the conversation i would like to have with you is just a little different because there's like 12 people watching it or like how i would like to talk to zach is a little different because now there's people just like quietly watching it uh-huh so it's fine saying to zach yeah but it's like oh i probably won't be like as weird or as goofy or i don't know i just like when people are watching you won't call him grandpa like once they left though yeah yeah i let it loose um no but it was really fun yeah Yeah, I'm glad you made it. Yeah, it was great.

I had two siblings in it. Alice and Jesse were in it. They were great. You didn't miss anything because the director did not wave the fake candle this time. No, they just moved on to scenes naturally. How'd they know when to start? I don't know.

They just did their own cues. It could have helped that it's summertime, so there's no blackout curtains. it's just every every quote unquote blackout you're just watching everything that looks like you're setting up that looks like a wheat field of sorts i think i told one of my friends and someone i was like if the spotlight ever breaks we could just use the window just turn the lights off and we'll be fine that is a great point yeah because like it's not dark until 9 30 these days like the last 20 minutes, it got blackout, I would say. Yeah, that was kind of a bummer, but no, it was fine.

It was a good show, and I thought there was a couple of talented females. Were they Naomi and Ruth? Yeah, they were great. And yeah, it was fun. How was it? Obviously, it's like a biblical story of Ruth and Boaz. Was it more of a serious, I guess since insensibility was obviously serious too,

but it had some funny parts to it. Right. I thought since its ability was made to be funnier than this story was that had more humor. I think so. Yeah. I still don't know how much, like I've never,

I don't think been to a play like that, that I can think of. Like how much like funny liberties are they going to take? Or is it just like, no, this is just how it like whatever uh-huh you know yeah it's interesting because it's like a lot of pretty serious scenes and then there's one there's one scene with like me and a bunch of other guys were like the witnesses or whatever and it's like it's funny number two funny how much of a different tone like that scene has just like because everyone's like goofing off a little bit um during the matinee show so that one right before you saw at like dirt just as we're like

saying our lines and get gathered around Zack and stuff just the lights for about a second just go out and they come back on and then I just I can see the gears and Zack's head turning I'm like what is he gonna do either he told me he's like I was thinking do I be mature and just ignore it? So he just goes, oh, there was an eclipse. And then someone else was like, I've never seen one of those before. That's great. Do people love it?

That's really funny. Oh, a solar eclipse. Anyway. Yeah. And then he kind of broke during his next line, but just like, yeah, it was so fun. That's great. Rachel and I thought we were really impressed because you didn't have as big a role in this as you did in Sense and Sensibility,

but when you did get on stage, and especially when you and Zach, so there were multiple people doing a scene with Zach and moving around a lot, it was noticeable that you and Zach had really good chemistry and had a lot of talent. Rachel actually was one who really felt strongly about that.

She's like, oh, you just tell. They work really well together. Yeah. We liked it. It was fun. I really enjoyed in the second act, something got into me and they pulled out a hen from a box and I'm like, that's a real chicken. That's pretty sweet.

For real? They pulled out my phone, texted Tymon and Zach and said, real chicken is fire. That's great. I got to text him during the show. Let him know I'm fired up on this. And then that just really spurred something on. Once I sent one text, the floodgates open. So the rest of this whole act two, I'll sit in the back row.

I just live tweeted my thoughts to only Tymon and Zach. I would just only like text them. Can we hear some of them? Oh yeah. I can maybe go pull them up. Tymon, do you have them? Oh,

let me see. Real chicken is fire. Yeah. I think that's what I said. Yeah. I typed in Brad. That's not him. Yeah.

Yeah. So the first thing was having a real chicken is fire. And then I think my favorite, like there were several, but I think my favorite was, uh, cause Naomi has her whole like song where she's going on about how like, Boaz is perfect for Ruth.

Boaz is this great guy. She has a plot to get them together. And Jake just says, Naomi has the hots for Boaz. I just don't know if Ruth is into him like that. And in the very next scene, Ruth visits Boaz in his bedroom. So then I said,

I texted Ruth, you scallywag. I said, takes a lot of nerve to visit Boaz's bed like that in the middle of the night. And then they sing a little duet together. I start to notice they're hand in hand. Oh, baby. I got to send some texts about that. Oh, I forgot.

I texted you about it. Loving the chemistry I'm seeing between Boaz and witness number two. So there you go. I don't remember why I texted this. Can you explain the context to the next one? Abner, you idiot. I think because Abner was the one that had the rights to

get the land and marry Ruth or whatever. And he turned it down. Abner, you idiot. You idiot. And then Zach goes behind the curtain next thing you know time has passed i guess i don't know what happened there's the the finale is just like a lot of happens in the last three minutes to just like oh let's wrap this show up like yeah i was like all right that's probably good all right so yeah they're married and they had a

kid kid's about one years old now and uh anyway i was like dang that kid came quick was human gestation shorter back then and anyway i just told him told him it was fun. Real kid? I don't think, no. You had a real chicken, but not a real kid. That's what Rachel was like. I want to know what they're looking at so bad. Give me Henry in there next time. Yeah. Yeah. I'll donate. We'll let you know. Yeah. So it was just real fun. Loved live tweeting. And my next thing on the way way to there i had one of my roommates in the one of my renters what do you call them in the aletha house tell me hey i think i'm moving out soon it's like no problem i'm about to see some guys oh maybe throw it their way yeah so while 12 people were watching me i also talked to time and oliver and zach was like hey by the way

got free spot to open the aletha house if that's where you're into okay it was just Isaac now basically Isaac and Briley over in there now okay so anyways don't who knows we'll see good guys good guys I would be tripped up going to a play of timings that people aren't speaking British yeah you kind you kind of expect that. Like, what's Midge doing speaking like a normal person? No Midge. No Anna Impsh. No Graydon. No Graydon's sister. I won't go unless Midge is there. I was

vastly disappointed. Graydon was awesome too. Graydon was such like a what's the word? Spaz. He was very spaz. Graydon's so good at acting. He's awesome. Thank you. Thank you for thinking I'm good and so good at acting he's awesome thank you thank you yeah it's awesome yeah yeah cool man so let us know about the next one dude every time i go one of those shows though i'm like brad and i should be in the next one how far would that be where

is part of the cast how would how i'm trying to the next thing they're doing i think they're doing like a week long more of a summer um they're kind of like think they're doing like a week long, more of a summer. They're kind of like camp form almost because it's like you just go each day for like a week in the summer and then you do the show at the end. They're doing cheaper by the dozen. Oh. Oh. And I think that's like. You're on your way.

They're looking for guys, like even adult guys. I think like 18 to like 55 or something like that. Wow. For some stuff. I think we'll fit the bill there. All right. Smack dab in the middle. Uh-huh.

Yeah. I'm okay. I mean, you can sing. So I feel like you should probably play the bill there. All right. Smack dab in the middle. Yeah. I'm okay. I mean, you can sing, so I feel like you should probably play the role they're looking for. And I can be like the guy in charge of the chicken. Like no matter what, every production, I'm like, we need chicken.

I'll take the chicken. Because I need to be in charge of it. That guy's scared of the chickens. He can sing. I'll carry the chickens. I can't remember. I don't know if it's a musical that she probably doesn't.

We'll see. I don't know for sure if I'm doing it. If I do it, I'll carry the chickens. I can't remember. I don't know if it's a musical that your brother doesn't. We'll see. Okay. No musical I'm in. I don't know for sure if I'm doing it. If I do it, I'll be like, I know some guys. Holler. Holler at us.

Sounds good. Never. No, that's not true. I was going to say, I've never been in a play. You ever been in a play? I've been in some. Yeah. I took theater in high school for my fine art credit and then in college for my fine art credit.

Holy cow. You've been in some actual plays. I was in a play in college. I don't know if we've ever talked about this. You don't like for as much as you like on stage, you're not a theater kid type guy. I feel like. Yeah.

I did not like doing the warmups in theater. Oh, you guys do those. They're still like singing warmups. Just like, um, I don't even know what you call them. Just like,

yeah, I guess somewhat vocal warmups, but just like, just like flamboyant stuff. Like I'm going to make a sound, and that sends you the ball. And then for you to catch the ball, you have to make a sound. So let's do it. You have to make my noise,

and then you have to make your noise to send it to Tyman. It's like Big Booty kind of thing. Exactly like it. Vroom! Up-a-da-do! And yeah. Yeah, yeah no keep doing i'm used to this stuff yeah so just fun stuff like that that sounds awesome no uh so i was big on like what's the what's that do for you just gets you in the mood to ask like get you comfortable i guess okay get the weird stuff out now you won't be embarrassed yeah maybe more uncomfortable i was like i promise like i'll

be good to go when it's showtime but i had trouble like really acting during rehearsal oh really which maybe just makes me not a good actor. But I was just like, I promise I could flip the switch when it's time. But right now, no one's here. I'm not, I'm like wearing, I just came from a real basketball. So, you know.

I feel silly doing that. Yeah. What was the play about? It was a comedy so that they like, they headhunted me. They wanted me. Yeah, bad boy. They wrote it themselves.

It was some kind of Shakespeare comedy. I think the Shakespeare's were fighting different Shakespeare characters were like, had some kind of battle royale, and I was the commentator of it. So me and another girl, Meg Burns, we had a fun time together. So anyway, we shot all these lines and got to write some of it.

It was kind of fun. You got to write some of it yourself? Yeah, they're like, I mean, we brought you in for this so if you think you could say something funnier, like, wow, you can like come up with it. I don't know if it is. It isn't a bad idea to write your own play.

Like for something like that, it seems like it's just harder to make it good. If it's written by yourself. Totally. Right. Like, Hey, let's say like,

let's not do this tried and true. Like let's not do the music, man. Let's write our own thing. We're like different people from Shakespeare that everyone probably doesn't know very well already like you know we all put them together and fight against each other i was something like that someone who went to spu and the theater department correct me i know i'm getting that kind of wrong but yeah it was some shakespearean based comedy and i liked it it was fun cool so what'd you do in high school

in high school it was I was like narrator number, like for, so this actually remember even better for some reason. I remember they had like 60 narrators, but I had like six of them. So I was narrator eight, 17, 25,

33 and 48. Yeah. And that was like, I just had to highlight way more. That's how we all are. There are only five narrators. You split them up. Yeah.

And so I just narrated behind the curtain and I don't it couldn't even tell you the play but i remember that was my role in that why did you need so many narrators i don't know why they did it that way but i specifically remember having like five or six different narration roles interesting weird it's behind the behind like a curtain so you don't even have to be memorized right i'm pretty sure yeah yeah i was just reading. What's the point of having all the different... That is interesting. Stratford, man. I don't get that at all.

Maybe it was for the story. Maybe it had something to do with the story. It probably didn't. That's one of those things, like, I would love to be in more plays and stuff, I think. Like, growing up, I was in a Lewis and Clark play in elementary school. I was Charbonneau, the French Frenchman. Did Sacagawea do brown face? I don't think so. Okay. But I don't remember. But maybe,

but maybe we went to black Bob, black Bob. Yeah, it's fine. Um, and I was also, well, everyone was in the nutcracker back in the day. I wasn't like a, I didn't have a speaking part. I was a, I was a mouse. I was a Christmas ornament. Yeah. But, uh, but like my sister was always mouse. I was, you know, you, the mice, the mice fight, the toy soldiers and Scott was a toy soldier. And so there's a picture of me and Scott afterwards, like mouse and toy soldier. That's adorable. Maybe Scott was a Russian baker. I can't remember anyway. Um, but yeah, my sister was always in place and there was always one guy who was like a bigger guy who like stole the show every time, like was not the main character ever, but was just

like the most lovable character in the musicals kind of thing. And I just wanted to be that guy. I was like that. He just has that one big, you know, theatrical number that he sings this awesome song and just brings the house down. I was like, that's, that's what I want. I want to be that. I would love to see you in a show.

Yeah? That'd be so fun. It'd be so fun. Yeah. If somehow I can figure out a way to get my kids, maybe just the kids could come with me. I don't know. I just like the idea of doing it,

but I'm also like, well, that's just a little bit more time away from the family. Yeah, it is quite a bit of time. But if Hattie can come and be narrator number five or something. I don't know. Keep us posted. Cheap by a dozen. I got four of them.

Us plus the Impsh is we have too many. And I'm in charge of chicken. And you're the chicken man. Don't give that part away. Thank you. Let's take a brief pause to tell you about our favorites, Main Street Roasters, MainStreetRoasters.com. Brad is not here at the moment,

but I've got a special treat. I'm going to call my dad and see what he has to say. So let's call him now. Hey, I was just calling to see what you thought of Main Street Roasters. saying ****** to. Alright. He's gonna hang up. Uh, okay. He's back to his old ways. Uh, sorry about that. You know, it's just different eras. Different eras. They use different terminology. He means well.

He means well. But I think what he was trying to say is that it's so freaking good no matter what race you are. That, more or less, what he was saying. And so, I just want to paraphrase

what he's... MazeRoaster.com is great coffee. All right. The beans are good. The grounds are good. The mugs are good. You want a t-shirt from them? That's going to be, dare I say it? Good. We love major roasters. We love just their whole, um, their brand, their mission, their small town, good values, just family owned, operated, single origin. Not going to sing any more than that. I don't have my boys with me, my acapella boys. But Maged Roasters is just awesome.

And back to the episode. Thanks, y'all. Glide just texted me. I think he's listening to the episode about people coming to our door to order a salesman because Glide does solar panel, sales door-to-door.

He said, a little tip for you. If someone knocks on your door, tell them you're a renter and you have a 400 credit score. They will leave in seconds. All right. Lifehack. There you go.

I rent, I have 400 credit score. That's all you say. I'm excited to try that out. Credit score is one of those things that I do not know numbers of at all. Like, you could say I have 400 credit score. I could be like, that's cool. Okay.

Great. That's terrible. I don't know what, like, do you know the the i think 700s is good and then between 8 and 850 is like very good 850 is the highest you can get i feel 80 accurate about that okay i guess somewhere around there yeah why they do that why don't they just go straight to a thousand or one to ten sure just a 10 point scale even if it's a 7.9 that's yeah that's great yeah it's just so much easier to understand. Like the UV index goes to what, 14 or something weird?

Dumb. I do get very well, first of all, I've heard that the UV thing is like such a Gen Z thing. I've noticed it more and more. Like people these days are talking about UV all the time. Oh, I'm right there with them. Are you? Yeah, I'm always looking at it. You're always looking at it? Yeah. I don't think I've ever once looked at it. I'm just sure people will be like

UV is 7 right now, guys. Yeah, I hear that. Do you hear that a lot looking at it? Yeah. I don't think I've ever once looked at it. I'm just sure people will be like, UV is seven right now, guys. Yeah, I hear that. Do you hear that a lot, Tymon? A little bit. Not like a ton. Really? But yeah. Yeah, I just had never noticed it.

And now I'm seeing like TikToks and stuff and people are like, yeah, the UV is eight right now. And I'm like, I don't even, is that a good thing? Is that a bad thing? I feel like I'm always looking at it. I mean, maybe golf a little bit. It's just like, all right, it feels hot. Let's look at the UV and see if I need to put sunscreen on.

Australia, definitely need to look at that every day. Oh, yeah. I remember you talking about like, yeah, the UV was crazy there. No ozone, if you believe in that. I just got so fired up the other day thinking once again how America just so fumbled the ball when it came to their system of measurement. Like, it's so silly. On one hand, I'm like freaking American.

Yeah, miles are awesome. Do it our way. On the other hand, it's like how many feet are in a mile? It's not even like, hey, we'll do feet and we'll do miles, and it's like 5,000 feet or in a mile. Like, okay, cool. I can get that. 10,000 feet or whatever, but it's like it is so random,

and it just kills me. Dumb. Really though. What are we thinking with that? I don't know. Who, who was it? Do you, Mr. Mile?

Was it miles? Miles? Yeah. Garrett. Tell her something like that. Yeah. It could be so much better. I agree.

All right. Wrap this episode up. Just a few rapid fire things forgot to mention this uh way back uh flight back from portugal got a nosebleed on the plane no worries iberia airlines gave me a red blanket i soaked that sucker in blood oh really no one even knew it was the perfect scenario just dabbed it oh yeah i'm just putting the blanket up my nose. Like, they'll be fine. I just kind of rotate parts of the blanket. It was good. You didn't ask for a napkin. You're just like,

I'm just going in this blanket. Yeah, I felt like I can handle this on my own. I have a red blanket. The flight's almost over anyway. I don't need it much more. That's hilarious. Forgot to mention that. So you just take the blanket and chuck it afterwards? Everyone was just leaving their blankets, so I just kind of left mine on there. Just left it there? Yeah, I kind of wadded it up and, you know, put the blood part in the interior.

That's where I think we might have differed. I think I might have taken it with me and thrown it away. Because they might reuse it. No. You think they reuse blankets? I think they... Well, I don't know. Tell me about these blankets.

Maybe they wash them. Yeah, I think they wash them. Ours came in like a plastic wrap. They don't reuse them. Okay. That makes me feel better about them not reusing okay good i think a lot of fight hits have gloves when they're doing a trash run anyway they put gloves on i'm about iberia airlines but no it's good and at that point in time i had a mustache too so just blood you know just all in my mustache trying to get it out but you're like thinking the pilot like great flight it's like you sure we got a little too high got a bloody nose up there oh my uh that was a fun thing um we were talking about uh hey this will be fun you know when we start bondi we get to be on the

other end of like flip the screen around would you like to tip yeah yeah yeah how fun will be on that side rachel had an idea. She's like, what if we flip the screen around, whatever tip they choose, it's like, all right, I'll do 20%. Then it's like a surprise, and it says, ta-da! We don't even accept tips. Gotcha. But we appreciate it anyway.

And the customer's like, wow, that was so nice. Now I don't have to tip them. I don't think we'll do that, but fun idea. Then I was like, what if we did it entirely dealer and Odeal style? You have all these different tip options. You have to tip them right i don't think we'll do that but fun idea and then we i then i was like we did it entirely dealer and odeal style like you have all these different like tip options you have to go with whatever your case is oh that that is fun to like think about different yeah that's cool i like that um and then one last thing just to mention i in the midst of all the the bondi stuff going on how busy i am i'm in ok Oklahoma. And I take one sip of Chipotle water and some of the most like sensitive and sharp pain and a tooth that I'd already went to the UMKC dental clinic about just like hurt so bad.

I'm like, dang it. I'll talk of everything else. Now I got to figure out this dentist situation. So the guy that I've been going to at the clinic is in the dental school, but his fiance is already a doctor. Like she is already a dentist. And so I was like, you know, at the clinic is in the dental school, but his fiance is already a doctor. Like she is already a dentist. And so I was like, you know, I'll keep it in the family. So I text him like, Hey, can I get Shannon's number? I'm going to go to her. And so then he gives me her number and I'm texting her and like, sorry to text you on a Saturday about this, but

it's just like, it's really killing me. I'd love to get in as soon as possible. I can't drink anything. I can't chew on that side of my mouth. Like it's just a bummer and trying to get this taken care of. And so, I mean, we exchanged 10 plus texts. She's like, describe your symptoms and which tooth is it and all this stuff. And then later that night, it's about 9 PM. Rachel and I are in the car doing something and Rachel's on her phone. She goes, oh no, no way. Oh my gosh. I was like, what? What? She goes, it's Shannon's birthday today. I was like, oh my gosh. I've been like texting her, bothering her,

talking about my tooth, trying to organize an appointment. It was her birthday. We never texted before. These are my first texts ever to her. That's not your fault. I mean, you didn't do anything wrong on purpose. At least I apologized about a big Saturday

and oh, I got to my phone as quick as possible. All caps. I am so sorry. I didn't know it was your birthday. I'm the worst. Don't text me back. Have a day bye happy yeah oh man i couldn't believe it but she got me at first thing monday morning 9 a.m and i went in there and i was like once again so sorry about the birthday thing i'm so sorry bring her a huge thing of balloons like just for the next one for

your next birthday i'm probably gonna forget probably to text you next year. I'm so sorry. Oh, my. She was awesome. Got it fixed. Hey, I'm drinking ice water. She's the best. What are the odds? She just shaved off a bit of a different tooth.

It hadn't had a fill. She's like, basically just like, yeah, one tooth got fixed, but then now the other tooth was too high. And so it was messing with your bite. And what it's doing, it's bruising the ligament around your tooth. And I was like, wow. I would have thought definitely like there's nerve damage. I didn't think my bite was off because it was causing such severe, isolated, sharp pain.

I don't think I've ever heard of your mouth having ligaments. I didn't know that either. That's kind of cool. She's like, it's this ligament problem. More than likely around your tooth. It's bruised. So I'm going to shave this off. I'm going to kind of correct your bite, and it should go away in a little bit. And it's been going away. She's good. She's like, it's this ligament problem. More than likely around your tooth. It's bruised. So I'm going to shave this off. I'm going to kind of correct your bite,

and it should go away in a little bit. And it's been going away. She's good. She's good. Shan dog. What's Shan and what? Give us, shout her out. Oh, she's up in like the Shoal Creek area, Liberty, Missouri.

Johnson Family Dental, I think is what it's called. Really nice. Great. I've only been in the dental clinic for the last 10 years. Yeah. Dentistry has come a long way. They got TVs on the ceiling. Yeah.

It's so nice in there. They got a waiting room with nicer furniture than I have in my home. Okay. It's nice, dude. All right. It was so great. And the dental-

It's a nice area down, Shoal Creek. Yeah, Shoal Creek's nice. Yeah. I was wearing Roback like that. And the dental assistant, she was trying to wipe the logo off of me because the logo is so high up. She's like, you got a little tissue.

And I was like, that is the logo. And she's like, oh my gosh, I'm so sorry. I'm like, no, I will talk to them. The logo is too high here. And so I would just pull my shirt. And I was like, see you guys. Thank you again. Today was awesome.

Just yanking my shirt down. So we have fun up north. We have a good time. So yeah, Dr. Shannon McCall. For now. Going to get married soon. Oh, okay. But yeah, go to church with her.

She's great. That's cool. Her birthday. That's it. That's great. I talked a couple weeks ago about a story, and then it got cut off. Oh, yeah. And I'm just going to tell it real quick.

Jake and Tom have already heard this. I'm not even going to tell the whole story. Basically Basically long story short, I drove past somebody on, on accident, kind of was like trying to try to pass them on the road, not trying to be like a jerk or whatever. But then like, as I was trying to pass the person on the, in the other lane was going too slow. And so then this person that was trying to pass caught up to me and I noticed that they rolled down their window. I looked over and instead of them like flipping me off or being mean or whatever, all they did was like have this really weird like face at me and not even at

me, like just stared straight ahead and was just like, and it was super odd. It reminded me of Cusco from emperor's new groove. And that's the end of the story. So it was, it was, it was honestly more alarming and more like I was laughing.

Like it is odd. It's very, very odd. Yeah. And I couldn't tell if she wanted me to be laughing. Like that's pretty funny thing that I'm going to do for them. Like, or that's her middle finger or is that her way of getting, getting back at me? So, um, yeah, I finally, a few more things, mediocre life updates for me. Um, been living on the edge for the last year or so, uh, as, as have you, uh, no phone case. And it's kind of starting to

come back to bite me just recently. What happened? Oh, just little tiny cracks, little scratches. Oh, I've, I've dropped it so many times though. You like dropping it. It's amazing. There was one time it was like almost like a cartoon. Like it was like, it was like, it was like I hit it up like three times, like bumps that spike before it fell. And it's honestly been very durable,

but recently just a tiny little crack. So finally you fly too close to the sun. You'll get burned by a crack, by a crack. You'll get cracked. And yeah, nothing else really with that uh and then this is something i have written down on my list i don't know it's more of just like a riffing thing

uh i i said we should make a video like a just like a real life prank video or whatever where we pretend to take pictures film people but we don't really do it wait wait tell me more like basically like i think it's so obvious when people are taking pictures of somebody else on their phone, like, like how, like, like anytime you see somebody like trying to be real or whatever, like even time and being like, like, like, like if I'm just like holding my phone like this, there's just up to somebody like surely they're uncomfortable. There's a distinct way to look at your phone. Naturally. Anything other than this is like, something's up. just like and just watching people like watching people's reaction if i just like i don't say a word it's all non-verbal i'm just like you know is that a

funny idea i don't know as there's a random thing I wrote down of like, is that a funny idea? Okay. Brad, you were going to play the role. Uh, how uncomfortable are you right now? Stop. Okay. Go ahead. You were gonna, well,

all right. Um, burrito or bowl. Oh, I'll take a, uh, chicken burrito bowl, uh,

with a tortilla on the side, please. Okay. You said, you said bowl? Yeah Yeah Okay, I love this idea I

want to film this and like your other hand like just double white rice Either you would take it next level. You got to go sideways. You got to go sideways. Just fully holding it like this. What brings you to Dick's? You throw out the fingers like this too.

I am just like it. I am. Let's see. Just looking for some pickleball. Yeah. Paddles, please. Do you guys have like a plethora of, let's see, just looking for some pickleball paddles. Please. Do you guys have like a plethora of... Let's see.

It's always tough to line up the pano. No, I'm not filming you. No, I'm not. I'm not. Oh, it makes you think that. I heard you say pano. It says move closer to the subject. Okay, portrait mode.

Move closer to the subject. That's a very funny idea idea yeah i don't know just a funny like because yeah it's so obvious when people are like taking pictures or something yeah have you seen i saw it was like someone recommended as a hack at chipotle to pretend you're filming yeah give you like fair portions have you heard about how like chipotle got in trouble recently with that like apparently they Yeah. Give you like fair portions. Have you heard about how like Chipotle got in trouble recently with that? Like apparently they were giving people really like small portions and people complained enough that now it's like,

give them the biggest portion. If they ask for more over, over, over. If they complain or if they're filming you, they're told to like load them up. Right. So now, cause it started with like some TikTokers being like,

look at what's gotten out of hand. Yeah. These portions. It got so bad that the CEO then had to like make a statement. It's like, yes, we are aware of the TikTok trend to film Chipotle workers. Our portions have never changed. Wow. But now people are learning like, life hack, film your Chipotle worker and you will get so much more chicken.

Okay. So that's what we should do now for everything. Just like pretend to film everything. If it's anything where like they kind of have a decision, like a used car. All right. And, um, you think it could go down to 7,500? Yeah. Yeah. Why not? The social pressure. There is some pressure just like pointing your phone at somebody. Hey, what's up chat? No, I'm not filming. I'm not live streaming right now. Thank you for the bits. Um, just what do you think? Do you think you could go down there? I don't know. I'm feeling a lot of other options options what if you even like showed them that

you weren't filming like you like were like hey what's up can i get a uh and you're right here with it the whole clearly your home screen yeah i don't know you might have been able to minimize yeah they're like they're like there's some hack that this guy has where he's showing you that you're not i don't know there's just something there it would just it would just unnerve too many people yeah i just freak you out and yeah that's funny anyway uh yeah can jean shorts become a prank channel just for this like i want to do that so bad i love that's what got me into a lot of the earlier videos i made were like stuff like that i love like hidden camera stuff. I go to college campuses and do stuff. And oh, yeah, you did ones like K-State's library one time, didn't you? Yeah, I did that. What else did I do? You just asked about Afterdark

there? Yeah, I was promoting Afterdark. It's crazy what I used to do for free for people. So dumb. But what I did for fun, how did it go exactly? I think it was just me and a buddy. I mean, you would have been perfect for this where it was just like i kind of like to combine whose line is it anyway with a video so it was me and another guy we each got to write down any sentence and then i would write yours and you would write mine and then you had to go up to someone and hand it to them like hey can you know whatever you say just get them to read it. But you don't know what's on there. Okay. And so then you could write anything

to like set your buddy up for failure, this hilarious, you know, anything. Just like, and that was, I don't even remember much about the video, but I love the idea of it still. I've just like, you write something down on a piece of paper that says, I desperately want to ask you out,

but I'm too nervous. Oh, really? But you don't know what it says on there. And so this girl's like, ah, I don't know. I probably can't. You're like, but I'm too nervous. Oh, really? But you don't know what it says on there. So this girl's like, I don't know. I probably can't. You're like, really? Oh, okay.

Why not? You don't even know what she's responding to. Sure you can. Yeah. I feel like we could. Right. Or if it's just you. Yeah.

So you would have been great at stuff like that. And I actually would not have liked you writing mine. I would not have liked whatever you sent me up. You would have known I would have gone too far. That's a little too far. That's a little too tough. It's a little too embarrassing. It gets my religion.

Well, totally, totally. But I mean, we're filming. Yeah. Be cool. Man, that's great. Last mediocre life update. I saw this at the bottom of my notes. I, you know, recently we go to Verizon, me and Rachel, you know, we're impersonating Brad's aunt.

We're getting new phones. We're getting, so Rachel and I are both getting new phones. We're sitting around Verizon. It's a very fun day. The business is getting an iPad. The business is getting its own cell phone. So we've got all these devices. They're all being transferred over.

And Rachel goes in and leaves. She's like, I don't need my phone. I'm like late for like a girl's night thing. I was like, you go, I'll take care of it. I'm sitting there for like 10 more minutes. And they're like, I mean, you can go ahead and go to like, the phones are just transferring. Just keep them together and you can just drive home.

So it's like, great. And so I drive home. My phone is out of commission. Rachel's phone is out of commission. I've got this brand new phone, brand new iPad. I get to my house and I can't get the garage door to open. And I realize, oh, the electricity is out. And so then...

Your house electricity? The whole... Yeah, they're doing like Google Fiber stuff around here. Oh, okay. So much construction. Everything is changing. And so then it's just like, wow, I have no phone, no Wi-Fi. And I'm just in a load of my house.

It's like, wow, this is like... This is an old little house in the Prairie Vibes. What do I do? I just sit here. And I was like, oh, because I was thinking, I'd love to do something on my computer. I was like, well, I have a laptop.

I'll just do that. I was like, oh, you need wifi. I can't do that. It's like, well, I could set, no, but the phones aren't working. They're both like transferring data. Like they're just like, they're in. Yeah, they're in that mode.

Unoperating. And it's like, well, I could set up the iPad. That'd be fun. I know how to set up. And I'm like on operating and it's like well i could set up the ipad that'd be fun i know how to set up and i'm like well it needs like a wi-fi connection to do that it needs like a texco to be set like i can't do anything i was like should just like take a nap but then i can't even set an alarm i i how long am i gonna sleep we got a pickleball night and so then what i decided to do i was like all right i know what i'm gonna do is i didn't tell you i had no way of telling you i I walked over to your house. I had my laptop in one hand and all the device.

I got six devices in a bag in my other hand. And I just walked to your driveway and got close to your Wi-Fi. Okay. It just worked. I just sat down in your driveway. What? When? Last night?

Yeah, last night. When? Did you? When? Like what time? It was. Like were we eating dinner dinner i don't know i didn't want to bother you it's five it's like 5 45 6 p.m it must have been pre-dinner because

there's no way we would have not seen like there yeah i didn't see you in there i will say that oh no we're actually on a drive oh were you yeah i think so maybe i didn't hear or see anything yeah um but yeah so i was just like oh this would be funny i'll tell brad later i just i mean i was only over there for like 10 minutes and i got something set up on the new ipad new phone i was like right this is enough to i can go back and do some so are you like like on the front porch or were you like edge of the house i was under i was like at your garage front yeah garage door shade kind of yeah that's hilarious so i just spent like 10 minutes there yesterday anytime brother just using your wi-fi please. Thanks for that. I'm honored that you could use it. It was a funny little scenario. I was like, what are the odds that like when I don't have nothing works, right?

I have no way of communicating anything. My watches aren't nothing and also no wifi and no electricity, but I guess this way you have a neighbor, maybe the most convenient time it's ever been for us to be neighbors. That is why you have a neighbor right there. Yeah, man, it is. It's been fun. We've been having some fun neighbor right there. Yeah, man, it is. It's been fun. We've been having some fun neighbor times lately, but, uh, played baseball the other night.

Yeah. We came over, play a little ball. Yeah. I'm trying to give anything funny from that. Just, just fun times with the kids. Yeah.

But it is fun. Boat still doesn't really understand how baseball works. He wants to play the outfield. Cause I told him about robbing home runs. He's like, I can jump high. I was like, he's like, I'll, I'll play in the outfield because I told him about robbing home runs. He's like, I can jump high. He's like, I'll play in the outfield just in case a home run comes.

Bo was cracking me up. I'd never seen him act this way, but we're on the same team. I was like, Bo, if they hit it over, you're going to rob the home run? He would kind of wink at me. He'd have one eye open, and he'd fold his glove, and he's like, I'll rob the home run. It was like he was trying to be funny, and it was really funny. He's like, don't you worry about it. it or said something like that but with his head cocked and

one eye closed it made me laugh so much he's really getting yeah i'm gonna rob it he's really getting a sense of humor and it's i i think it's it's hilarious to me katherine is like endeared to it right really i can just tell like she is like loving this stage of bow which we all are but uh yeah that was a lot of fun we just uh i i we play with this like really soft ball and i love just like as the kids are running i just love chucking that at them like because there's no way it could hurt those kids let's hit them in the face or something so i just chuck it at their back and have a blast it doesn't hurt them yeah they're fine and guess what they're what? They're out. They're off the base. So that's fun.

Yeah. We've been going on a lot of drives lately. And when I get home from work, the kids will just sprint outside and we'll just go, you know, all, all three. Well, obviously not Henry. So yeah, all three of the older kids in the front seat, no seatbelts, just driving around the neighborhood. Just drive around Shawnee. Just going 10 miles an hour down the road.

It's a blast. One of them's in my lap. One of them's in the center. One of them's standing up, looking out. It's one of those things where I'm like, I hope we don't see a cop. Otherwise, we'll be fine. Bo loves finding campers. He thinks that's the most fun thing ever right now.

Oh, cool. So he's like, let's go see the campers. We're going to go find a camper. We're like, we're going camper hunting. Camp hunter. So anyway, all around, just summer's the best. Summer's the best. Summer's here. Summer's here, baby.
