Jake, can skinny people have tummies? I was watching football the other day, and our friend Allison, it was when it was snowing outside, and the Chiefs were sliding in the snow, and Allison was like, oh my gosh, Patrick Mahomes must get so cold on his tummy. And I'm like, his tummy? I don't think that skinny people have, like, you can't be like, oh man, nice, nice six pack. I love, love the way your tummy looks.

You got a really toned tummy. Yeah. No one has toned tummies. Tummies are for, tummies are for large boys. So you would say it's like a body fat thing. Oh yeah. Like once you're over like 25%, you get a tummy. Like Winnie the Pooh has a tummy.

Um, you know, the know the tricks rabbit no tummy good comparison i don't know why those are the two what about like somewhere in the 15 to 20 body fat maybe that's like you have like 20 half tummies you have like a gut or something there's like a middle ground like stomach to gut no i think gut's the worst oh that's worse than tummy oh gut is like uh you know that guy that's really drunk at the football game that guy's got a gut got a gut on him yeah that's a like because i think of beer gut no i think tummy i whenever she said that i was like no you can't have tummies skinny that's reserved for larger people i think tummy is just more of an age thing like i just

have stopped saying tummy after the age of nine, probably. That's also true. Like how I determine who gets to say tummy or not. Are you older than nine? Then don't say tummy. Then say stomach. Like, hey, my stomach. I understand if you're maybe describing like, oh, my tummy hurts. Or yeah, if you're trying to be funny or something like, oh, my tummy.

I just don't think a bodybuilder has a tummy. No. No, no, no. Like, yeah, that guy with a very toned bodybuilder has a tummy. No, like, no, no, no. Like, yeah, that, that guy with a very toned body. That's a stomach. Yeah. That's,

those are abs on his stomach. I would definitely agree. Uh, I had that thought recently. I was like, what? You can't, you can't do that.

Belly, belly is also same way. Like you don't have six pack on your belly. A belly is something that jiggles. Exactly. In a, in a good, good wind.

I think belly and tummy are kind of synonymous. Yeah. So. I dropped some jelly on my belly. Oh, well. What's that? That's just the type of guy who has a belly. He would drop food on his stomach.

You don't say drop some chia seeds on my belly, on my six-pack belly. Because, you know. Oh, I got flax seeds on my tummy. Yeah, you know the people that have stomachs. They're not they're not eating jelly yeah yeah it makes sense anyway well speaking of uh tummies uh brad it's 2020 yeah episode 35 our first one in the new year happy new year uh do you personally have any resolutions that involve toning your tummy at all i i've thought about it that's the first step. Yeah. Thinking about a resolution. My resolution is to get resolutions, honestly, to go from thought to

action. We can, we can talk about a little bit more later, I guess, but I had not the worst week ever, but I had a rough past week. It wasn't great for you. It wasn't. And so I had, I was sick with strep throat. And so I was just in bed all the time, like quarantined away from my family, no light, no sun. And just had all these thoughts of like all these things I wanted to do in like 2020. Oh,

it's going to be great. I'm going to seize, you know, take it by the, take it by the hand, you know, whatever, whatever the horns,

take it by the hand. I want to walk hand in hand with this year. Guide it gently here. You know, I want to take it by the horns. And then all of by the hand. I want to walk hand in hand with this year. Guide it gently here. You know, I want to take it by the horns. And then all of a sudden it just comes to a screeching halt. And I'm just sitting watching 30 for 30s all day. Take it by the hand. Take it by the hand.

I want to lend a mono to this year. Lend a mono. So I don't have like a specific answer for your resolutions, but I've had a lot of thoughts of like, oh, I want to get better habits with this. Like first thoughts, I want to, yeah, lose, Oh, I want to get better habits with this. Like first thoughts. I want to, yeah. Lose some weight. I want to have better habits, um, eating, which I think will help lose weight. And then I want to have better habits sleeping, which will also hopefully help lose weight and just with my business and everything. So,

but those are like, I hate this. This is a poultry, I guess. Okay. I don't know if that's right, but I do not like the idea of resolutions without, like, I like the idea of goals and like smart goals. You know what that is? Like smart, you heard people talk about that. Yeah, it's like sustainable, measurable. Yeah, specific. Oh yeah, specific.

Attainable. Attainable, okay. Realistic, timely. Nice. And so it's like, don't just go out there and be like, I want to be more social. I want to lose weight like that. Like very hard to gauge if you did that good or not. Well, yeah, yes, exactly. So anyway, that's my, so resolutions by themselves just bother me, but I like the idea of goals. So I have resolutions right now, but I don't,

I haven't converted them to goals. Gotcha. So that's a long way to say, I don't know what I'm doing yet. I, uh, I always thought the idea of a new year's resolution was a little like, like people were waiting until January to start like changing their habits when it's, you know, to me, it always seemed like, well, just start doing this now. You want to lose weight. So like, just start now. You don't need this calendar that we made up to do that uh but here i am it is easier to think about how you want to change it is the new year and there's just not as much going on january february like like so it is hard to like lose weight in my opinion when you're going to all these parties and having all these different events where you want to be social you don't want to be like hey can i bring my salad

along with me to this christmas you know like it's's tough January and February. You're not doing that very often. So I do understand like the resetting of the year and everything, but I understand what you're saying too. Like, yeah. Yeah. What are we waiting on here? Just take the world by the hand and let's get out by the hand and, uh, yeah. Take it on a walk. Take it by the hand. Take a band, stick it to men. Some of my resolutions that I thought of today while driving, uh, drove from Oklahoma today. So I've been sitting down a lot. Okay. Uh, let me stop you right there. Okay. Did you see any, we drove back from Texas the other day and drove through Oklahoma, Oklahoma sucks. First of all, I'm so, I'm so sorry. I'm not saying everything about Oklahoma is terrible,

but I saw a woman walking on the side of the highway in flip-flops three times. Really? Yeah, and it's like, that's Oklahoma. I didn't see that. You didn't see any pedestrians just walking around? No. Like, anywhere else, I'd be like, that's weird.

That woman's just walking to their next destination kind of you know in a dangerous intersection but in oklahoma it's kind of that's how they get around i did see some roadkill that i think was like a mountain lion that was kind of cool yeah because i wasn't going that fast i was like getting on the on-ramp and i had a good enough time or like long enough time to like get a good look at it okay that was fun uh what was it talking about uh you were driving back from oklahoma you have resolutions oh uh i want to wear more hats this year really seems fun you used to wear a hat all the time and then i stopped wearing a hat what happened that hat i don't know where it is really yeah but i want to wear more hats i think i want to play like more checkers and chess.

Okay. Because right now I play none. Okay. So if I do that once, I was going to say that good year. That sounds pretty specific, measurable, attainable,

realistic, and timely. Thank you for noticing. I want to get, this one is going to sound silly, but this is a real one too. I want to get sweaty more times per week. Okay.

Like right now I'm only getting sweaty like once a week, maybe at a boxing class. Oh, that reminds me something we haven't talked about that's been going on for a while. Title boxing keeps putting me on their Instagram stories. I can't believe I forgot to like tell you this. I've been on their Instagram story like three times. And are they tagging you? No, which is fine because it's never like anything super great. It's just like, uh, I don just like uh i don't know it's just just a weird thing that keeps happening i'm just like when i go in there now i'm like i got i should wear something nice because i'm gonna end up on their instagram you better you better like

shampoo before you go yeah i should put some product in my hair because i'm gonna be on their instagram story uh right now i'm only getting sweaty once a week yeah but i would like to do things to get sweaty maybe three times a week that's a good gauge i think i like i might join you in that like getting sweaty i want to get sweaty three times a week. That's a good gauge. I think I like, I might join you in that. Like getting sweaty more often. I want to get sweaty three times a week. I want to get my shirt wet. Yeah.

Three times a week. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Last night I was with the guy, the founder of the phrase, get our shirts wet. And that was fun. Did you get your shirt wet? Not. So yesterday I was filming a wedding. So my shirt wasn't too wet because I was filming them.

Okay. But then afterwards we did get our shirts wet oh we went to this place ask some of your friends who also live in oklahoma city if they know about this place it's called groovies and do you know about it no okay that sounds funny already it was crazy i wish i could have i guess filmed it but i don't know how well it would have shown up on camera but it was like a movie you open the i guess let me set the scene first it's like a like a a disco club for like kind of older people and somehow there are still what do you mean older people like i think it's kind of a 70s and 80s themed bar okay and so it just it's not like a young hip bar okay it's just like there's like middle-aged people there okay and it also somehow is you're

allowed to smoke as much as you want there it's like a private club and so this place more than like a community of people who like to dance it seemed like where every smoker in oklahoma city goes to just hang out like i'm just going to smoke it's where smokers smoke yeah and people have to be dancing around them so i i kid you not we opened the door to groovies and smoke billows out of there it looked like the bottom of like an atomic bomb when it like kind of comes underneath itself it was crazy we were like oh my gosh so then we'd like put our uh like our blazers in the car because it's like this is gonna like stink it up that's another thing we're a suit yesterday uh resolution wear more suits

sure i think this is uh pretty pretty measurable and pretty unattainable. Once a week, I'm going to start wearing a suit. Formal Fridays. Really? I love how I feel in a suit. And they're pretty comfortable. They're not that bad, yeah. And it's something you can wear in the winter.

It's better to wear a suit in the winter than the summer. Once a week is a lofty goal, my friend. Oh, you should see me work when I'm in a suit. I'm getting stuff done bossing people around no but uh oh yeah going into groovies it was just it was crazy uh just so much secondhand smoke we went in there for 20 minutes got our shirts real wet and then left it was awesome went to whataburger got our chicken biscuit went to whatter burger yeah well i really jumped from one thing to the next there pretty quickly but uh back to resolutions uh you got some great ones so far when one of mine is the same as yours i want to do a better job of like sleeping okay like going to bed earlier and waking up earlier triplet that's that's that's a huge that's a huge thing for you that's gonna be

tough yeah uh but it would be fun if i did it i Uh, but it would be fun if I did it. I think, I think it would be fun if I did it as well. And I think I would enjoy the mornings more because I just think like right now, I just think I'm not a morning person. And, but I think I would be if I had more energy and got more sleep. Isn't it crazy that like 95% of America wakes up earlier than us? Yeah. You want to, you want to hear something? She probably won't love that. I'm saying this on the podcast, but one of Catherine's goals for 2020 is to wake up every morning by seven 30. Okay. Seven 30. Okay. I thought you were gonna say like before 9am or something. Right. Right. No, no, no. But seven 30 is like when almost every other person in the world is like leaving for their, like they're, they're on their way to the job there. Maybe they're already at their job. Perhaps she is waking up know yeah and that's like a goal like that's like not that's like a it's like a hard thing for

her to do but she's gonna try to do it you know what i mean good for her uh yeah we just we're very spoiled with our schedules yeah trey always like gives me a hard time of just how like none of my friends have real jobs or you know just like no no one works yeah you know like he was over at the house friday and you know isaac's over there just you know chill on the couch watch the tv right then you come over he's like hey what's up guys hanging out then peter comes over yeah he's like no one has jobs here huh do they i was like no i don't have i don't have uh friends who are employed well yeah it's a lot harder to hang out with those friends honestly those friends aren't coming over i'm just more likely to hang out with people who don't have commitments at 1 p.m. on a Friday.

Right. It's way easier to hang out with those people. But we were hanging out in my new house. I moved in. Yeah, baby. Which is fun. I have a TV for the first time since high school. Oh, really?

Which is fun. Yeah, I've never owned a TV. Wow. Congrats. Thank you. Also, for the first time since high school, I live on the same floor as the front door, which is really fun. I can get to my room so fast. I can also get to my car so fast. You're like, Oh, I just forgot something inside real fast. No problem. Boom.

Got it. Oh, didn't even realize you went in yet. Uh huh. Nice. So fast. Yeah. It actually was really great. Cause moving out took forever, but moving in and a Jif. Oh yeah. Your old house was like annoying. Like the, the one in theiff oh yeah your old house was like annoying like the the one on in the garage yes because it was like a pretty tight little corner and then you go around the gate the keypad and then yeah yeah you have to go like through a full roundabout to get to the stairs to go up yeah this is your first time with roommates in many moons over a year yeah yeah so a lot of a lot of new things and i love change so it's it's just really exciting right now uh i texted you this but it felt like isaac and i were uh like

just got back from our honeymoon because like we're unboxing like kind of these christmas gifts you know like my mom got me some bath mats and some plates some pretty fun gifts you know and we're like unboxing it and throwing in the dishwasher you know and we're just like it was like 2 a.m and we're just like so pumped like getting our house set up which drawer do you want to be the silverware drawer i don't care you choose dude i don't care yeah yeah i just got his espresso machine and like all these like syrups and stuff like set out like that's one of the first things that's great dude i love it i think i'm gonna actually come over tomorrow and have a latte so oh please do. I haven't had a latte yet. I've been saving it. I know. Me too. Well, I haven't been feeling well all week.

Dude, you've got to come over tomorrow? Sweet. Trade in and text me, so I guess we've got nothing to do tomorrow. We can go bring Hattie. She can check it out. Something else I did this week, I used an electric toothbrush. What do you know about those? Well, first of all, whose electric toothbrush did you use? It was mine. It was my own. Oh, you got, you got one. Yes. Okay. What do I know about them? What do you think? I think they're fine. Yeah. Yeah. I never used one before. Ever? Yeah. I don't think so. Like a trial? Not even like a, what do you mean? Like a, Hey, let me take a swig of that. No, not in the store. Like a store like uh like hey man what's that

feel like what's that feel like in your mouth dangerous game to play luckily it's just with electric toothbrush uh no but so weird sensation first of all what kind of we're using sonic air quips something with that doesn't have a brand name on the side of the dollar tree version prop perhaps i think so one yeah pretty weird sensation two opened up my mouth looked like the beaches of normandy in there it was wild oh wow it was a bloodbath in there yeah these gums haven't been vibrated like that ever and also i might be doing it wrong i don't know i don't know how do you how do you do it wrong well here's my quandary do you brush while it's vibrating or do you like kind of let it rest on a tooth and like let it vibrate away and then

you barely you slowly move it like you don't have to apply much pressure at all okay see i was going normal brush speed while i was vibrating i think that's why we had like six inch cuts in my gums like you were doing that like yeah yeah no i would say no i don't think you need to do that much okay that's good i should have texted you when it first happened hey man i've been trying different stuff no yeah i think that i've heard that electric toothbrushes are great i don't uh i haven't had one in a long long time and but i get cavities so maybe i should go back i get cavities no matter what, though. I'm just a cavity guy. That's okay.

It's just one of my things. Yeah, it's just something that happened. You're just moving up in the world, man. Big things are happening in my life. You got TVs, electric toothbrushes. Bath mats, shower curtains coming. You got throw pillows on your couch. Yeah, from Kohl's.

60% off, baby. That's a real adult thing of you guys. Yeah, thank you for listening. I love that you get oh yeah i love a good pillow and we picked out those pillows without knowing or remembering what color our couch was like i think this will match it's pretty do you think this will match yeah probably match that's great and we did good isaac was really excited about the uh blanket on your couch oh yeah it's soft real good blanket yeah love it there's a piece of decoration that

we have which i think you you asked you like what's this it's like oh yeah we're waiting for a girl to come over to tell us where to put it because we don't know where it should go yeah i don't know about well yeah i want to hear what a girl's thoughts on that decoration where i just looked at and i was like that is so mediocre looking it wasn't good it wasn't bad it was just like it's tough to decorate a room it's completely full of wood paneling yeah are they gonna paint that you think i don't know let's let's ask peter on the podcast right now hey peter are you gonna paint that this is your tenant jake what's what's your plan with the living room let us know with a five-star review thanks dude awesome uh what else

have i done i got a lot written down this week um Good. Let's, I'll give you some options, Brad. Okay. Uh, what would you like to talk about? New Year's Eve. Uh, World War III. Okay. Or, um, Taco Bell. Let's start with Taco Bell because I was, I saw a commercial today and I was like, that

looks good. Yo quiero Taco Bell. Yeah. Yeah. Is that Chihuahua still their mascot? No, no, no. He died? Yeah, he's way dead.

Super dead. Who's more lovable in your mind? This is not what I was talking about, by the way. There's another Taco Bell thing coming. Geico Gecko or Chihuahua Taco Bell? Oh my gosh. The Chihuahua. Okay, that's what I think too.

100%. Geico doesn't do it for me. No, no. No, and mammals are just better than reptiles in general oh that's scientific fact yeah i had a stuffed animal uh chihuahua taco bell wow yeah i didn't know i was asking one of the uh they did like a thing where you could like you could you know you could pay an extra five bucks to get one of these stuffed animal things and so it had like a little thing you could push and be like yo quiero taco bell that's awesome it was

great i legitimately thought of him in mexico a few weeks ago because i was like i want i was when i wanted three-fourths of a tank of gas and i thought of that little little dog that little uh perro yeah there you go and he helped me out uh okay taco bell so i guess this is also part of new year's eve but it was 1 a.m new year's festivities are over so So it is January 1st at, you know, 1255 a.m. Actually, it was. And first of all, I guess I should say I could I could choose something multiple times a week to poke fun of fast food workers. Just know that I'm choosing this one because I try not to make fun of, you know, minimum age workers or really make it, you know, them the butt of the joke.

But I guess choosing this one. OK, so first get to the speaker hey just fyi five minutes from closing so if we don't get you your food in time then we'll just refund you i never heard that before that sounds like they're just like uh yeah they're just expecting to fail and just like depending on how much you order we'll we'll kind of see if we want to make it or not yeah we just yeah so then i was like maybe i shouldn't order that much so i can get it out faster like what's already pre-made okay cinnamon twist yeah nobody got some uh some chicken things whatever at this point doesn't even matter just just wrap wrap up

some chicken and some cheese for me and some sort of burrito and whatever you want to call it's great with me so i order and in the time i'm at the second window should be getting my food at lights turn off uh it's like uh-oh uh but it was fine i ended up getting my food so i was like this is great they are closed now but this timing worked out great he gives me my food and is like uh have a great night man i'll see you next year and i was like oh well it's it's 1 a.m and he said yeah and i was like so so see you in 2021 and he goes no see you next year and i said it's 2020 now and he said okay and i just drove off he just bothered you so much that he didn't get it yeah he didn't get it and i think that'd actually be a great double like you know twice funny joke like if he said see you next year intentionally knowing that it was already next year like in my mind i was thinking oh he's probably just been saying that all night

right but maybe he waited till after midnight i'm gonna start saying happy new year like see you next year to everyone uh but then uh story's not over i start eating my food uh-oh this is not even close to what i ordered so i don't think the guy was with it too much. I don't think it was a plan joke. And I think he just doesn't know a whole lot. What's going on? Yeah. I got like all sorts of things.

Like I ordered three of the same exact thing and I got like three different items that weren't mine. And yeah, I guess I'll see him next year. That's really funny though. Cause like, yeah, I feel like it's like a pretty common thing to have some kind of humor around like i haven't seen you last year yeah yeah oh man the patriots

have never won in this decade oh that's funny every time and it would be pretty double funny if he was like intentionally say like see you next year dude like like it'd be like a very michael scott thing to like yeah you know like barely screw something he's trying to be funny and then it's double funny because he's not saying it right. Yeah. You know, he might be honest something. I think it's funny.

I doubt it, but he might be, he might be. Yeah. He also gave me, not me nachos instead of the cinnamon crisp. So I don't know if he's really with it, but he just gave me cinnamon twist with cheese glazed all over it.

And we called it nachos. Yeah. Those are nacho fries. I swear. It's a dessert nachos. I'm working on it. Yeah. Run it up the ladder and see if corporate will go for it. Let me know what think let me know what you think if you're not back in line though in the next uh you know 30 seconds or so you will

give you a refund on your yeah oh and that that was the thing i couldn't i realized that i had gotten the wrong thing pretty quickly after i left but i'm like well they're closed and they they weren't even gonna give me food even if i was in line they're definitely not gonna give me more food they're not they're not gonna re to turn on the fryers or whatever for you. So I was like, well, didn't eat that because it had red meat in it. Oh, bummer. And I'm still infected. Although I've been eating pizza rolls a lot, which have meat in them, and I've been fine.

So either one, pretty fake meat, or two, I'm starting to get better. Maybe both. Maybe both. It's kind of a middle ground. Just kind of wean it back in. That's what I'm'm doing right now 30 pizza rolls at a time i'm weaning i actually just ate that i'm weaning with 30 yeah the wean 30 uh yeah it's like the whole 30 yeah but for uh alpha gal people exactly which is me uh i also want to hear about new year's eve because katherine we're just talking this today about like oh did you did you see what Emily and Josh did for New Year's Eve?

And I was like, yeah, it looked awesome. So tell me about it. Jake was there too. I know. I was like, yeah,

Jake was there too. I, it was a murder mystery party, which I'd never done. Have you done those? No. You would love it. You would love it.

And you'd be way better at it than I was. Oh, thank you. But the theme was like 1920s gangster. Yeah. And your, your, your costume. I don't know how 1920s it

was you look like a psychedelic like somebody was going to woodstock or something who was also cold needed a big coat yeah so i didn't win best costume that's okay unfortunately didn't know there were even all these other awards uh but it was really fun i went and bought like went to a liquor store and bought a cigar, which was fun, but it also felt weird. He's like, you just want one cigar. Yeah. Did you just say, I want a cigar?

Or did you say like, did you pretend like you knew what you wanted? I was very upfront about what I was looking for. I said, Hey, I'm going to a party. I need to look like I have a cigar. Uh, so I want like the cheapest one still looks like a big cigar. And this guy wasn't as friendly as I was hoping. He's like, he like named some brand. Are you want this one? And I was like, sure, man. And he like named some brand all right you want this one and i was like sure man and he's like all right you want the packs you want this i'm like just whatever one is whatever just like did you not hear what i just

explained i guess i shouldn't have gone the sentence route so i should have used some other form to take anyway okay uh get to the party and everyone's very dressed up and it's just really fun i i think i got a little too into um certain aspects of my character i think it cost me best performance uh because it was supposed to be the 1920s and i i did a good job of never breaking like there was a guy there who i didn't there was one guy there who i didn't know and so he tried to introduce himself to me and he's like hey man i don't think i know you what's your name hey it's giovanni who's asking what's what's what's it to you who's asking i love it and i don't know if that was very polite of me but i i made it a point i was like i'm not gonna break oh i would be the same way dude

i was so that makes it so much more fun yeah and i didn't even know best performances on the line i just it seemed like the way the good lord intended murder mysteries to be yeah yeah but i got a little too into it because, uh, you know, so it started with one of the characters. There was the mayor of the town and it was a woman. And it's 2020. I didn't like that.

Giovanni did not like that at all. That did not seem appropriate for the times. So I said a lot of things about that to people like you get a load of this. You got a lady as a mayor. What's this crap? Yeah. Uh, got a little racist at times. Sure. It's a maya. It's crap. Yeah. Uh, got a little racist at times.

Sure. It's 20s. Got a little, yeah, a little sex, sexist, a little anti-Semitic at times. And,

uh, it's not like you were kind of a Semitic person though. Gio, what was your name? Giovanni. I was Italian. Oh, okay.

Um, probably Catholic, but my note card didn't tell me my religious beliefs. Probably Italian, maybe Filipina. But it was really fun, just like really diving into something and talking to the accent all night. Oh, yeah. I said, are you talking to me? Probably 35 times.

Nice. And yeah, it was really fun. Do they tell you on those murder mystery things, like you are the murderer or no, you're not the murderer? What kind of prompts do they give you? on those murder mystery things like you are the murderer or no you're not the murderer or any like what kind of prompts do they give you yeah i don't know how typical ours was but you know they give you a little information before the night starts like this is who you are and this is your affiliation to maybe a few people they're gonna be there before you got there yeah i knew i was gonna be giovanni okay and so because that's how i knew to somewhat dress like a mobster like i

knew i was this like oh i don't like male mobster figure. And then when it starts, then we got another piece of information that gave us a little more like bring up this in conversation. Do this. They give you like an action point. Like I placed a bet on this team, you know. Oh, nice. And then there was a second round.

Shoeless Joe in the socks. Got it. Yeah. I've been talking through his book. Yeah. He's going to throw it. So I wouldn't bet on him. But don't worry. In a cornfield in Iowa in a few years, he's going to throw it. So I wouldn't bet on him. But don't worry.

In a cornfield in Iowa in a few years, he's going to come back and play catch with his son. Trust me. I've seen things. Oh yeah, there was a TV downstairs and I was freaking out about that. I really thought people would join in. It's like, what is this?

You got the movie theater here in your basement. What's going on with this, huh? I wish I could have come. I would have totally like... Scott Caldwell, I will say, was with me on everything. I could see him being very in character. He was with me on the racism and no one else was i will tell you that he was very with me on the race a little honestly like it seemed like he was just bottling some stuff he was just talking

in his normal voice too when he was being really racist that was kind of weird he didn't use the character's names he just singled out germain over there in the corner yeah but um yeah the tv i was freaking out about this you know you got a whatever yeah yeah what's this all these colors doing yeah um which led into some other comments i made anyway uh what was i saying oh and then the second round you get a new piece of information and that's where stuff starts to happen and so i think if i was the murderer probably would have told me like you are the murderer. Okay. Kind of a funny thing that happened.

So someone does get murdered and I guess I was supposed to bring a weapon because I'm a mobster. Like, I was supposed to bring my own protection and I didn't do that. But when the dead body's there, the murder weapon is lying right next to him. And so I picked it up

just because, like, if something goes down, I want to have some protection. So I pick up this gun. Turns out the out the gun is like the only piece of evidence that the game kind of like made there were initials on the bottom of the gun so i'm the only person in this whole thing that has this information which is awesome because it was on accident i wasn't looking for clues i was looking for protection and also like emily like the host of the night i guess she was like kind of nervous and freaking out she's like where is the murder weapon like that's supposed to like i'm supposed to tell people to look for it and to go pick it up so you didn't make a big

deal about you picking it no i picked it up like immediately and to the point where i think they forgot or like did we put it like josh did you put the gun down because no one's found it and uh yeah so i knew i knew the killer ride the initials wm okay that's awesome dude yeah so it was just a good combination of being a silly character talking out of voice but also like trying to like be coy and be like sneaky and try to find out information and i would like to do that so like they have like groupons and stuff where you can like go and do that out in public as well oh really i think it'd be pretty fun you can go like an escape room kind of thing yeah exactly that would be fun to go to an escape room

and like in like i thought there's a lot of mystery yeah giovanni yeah i'll give you a nickel to go in there for an hour and like sir this is an escape room why are you looking at encyclopedias yeah this doesn't this hasn't happened yet what? Uh, that would be funny. Just refuse to like be told anything other than it's a murder mystery in this escape room. Okay. So third thing that you offered me, I would like to know more about World War III. Oh yeah. I mean, you know, our title, we are the least political podcast in Kansas. That's what everyone knows us by. So I'm not going to talk about this very long or really have a take too much, but stuff is going down. Yeah, dude. Did you see tonight? They said, or I read today at least that somebody in Iran is giving an $80 million bounty for Donald Trump's

head. This is that. Yeah. That's what's crazy. Yeah. Is kind of scary. It's got stuff's probably going to happen soon. And it's, I guess not really that funny. I'll tell you one place that they're not going to go first is the middle of the United States in Kansas. I think Overland Park is safe. Yeah. So if you guys need to come, you know, a safe house or something, you can stay with us.

I've got an unfinished basement. Because they're probably wanted for murder. Yeah, you got an unfinished basement. I got a, you know, a shop here at Ellis Custom Creations as well as a basement. So anything you guys need. I remember my music teacher in fourth grade after 9-11 happened and none of us knew what to do she like reminded us she's like

if anything's gonna happen it's not gonna be in strafford missouri you know like you guys are fine yeah uh but no yeah there's a lot to potentially say about this the main thing that has just shocked me and just like i don't know don, Donald Trump, I got to say, very surprising guy. Like even when he said like, whoa, that's a crazy thing to say. Yeah. The next week he finds something else to surprise me with again. Yeah. And this time it was like, pretty much what he did reminds me of like, maybe like a kid,

the biggest kid on the playground in like fifth grade, like pushes you down and then says like what get up do something you're gonna do something i know dude like we killed the top commander in iran and then have you seen his tweets he's just like i dare you to do anything and we will retaliate in a disproportionate amount like that's kind of a scary thing for yeah for them and for us he's just like daring that people to like do something to us well yeah that's just irresponsible yeah because if something happens in america now it's like but you kind of provoked that yeah dude that's that's on you like because like killing the iranian guy time will tell well not necessarily but you know there's two different

sides like if that was the right move or not right i don't think that's for us to say we don't really have much information on it i'm not going to yeah but the fact that he like did it and then were like doubled down it was like yeah i did it try to do something to me i mean it's pretty on brand though like he's i know i'm not even necessarily endorsing it i'm just like that's a that's he's our president that's crazy it is crazy to see a tweet from the president like president that's crazy it is crazy to see a tweet from the president like threatening another country publicly he asked congress to follow him on twitter he's like this is going to be like the quickest updates for the iranian stuff like put out a thing for congress to follow on twitter well his is yeah before they ever did

any kind of like official press release he just posted a like pixelized image of the american flag on his twitter account i don't know man it's just uh i think it's just surprising i just keep getting surprised and uh yeah we'll see how it goes i've been actually pretty surprised at the amount of humor that has come from all this world war three stuff i did yeah there's some like people are making light of it so much and i'm like guys like what if world war three is actually a thing like wars are off awful like yeah you know and people are just like making all these memes and all these like yeah funny punchline things justin bieber releasing a song at the start of world war three those are some funny stuff like

there is some really interesting like entertaining funny things that the people are saying but i'm like okay if this actually happens it's not gonna be that funny then right which is maybe what we're funny stuff. Like there is some really interesting, like entertaining, funny things that the people are saying, but I'm like, okay, if this actually happens, it's not going to be that funny then. Right. Which is maybe what we're doing. Do you think he would be a good soldier?

No. Yeah. Not in my current state. Cause of your tummy? Cause of my tummy. I would, my tummy would get sniped. You have kind of a demilitarized tummy.

Yeah. I definitely need DMT. Yeah. Do a few, you know, burpees or something, whatever. A few up-downs, hoo-ahs. You've got to do up-downs until Blue is no longer tired and thirsty.

Until Brad no longer has a tummy or a belly or a gut. No, I don't think I would be a good soldier. I think I would be smart. Yeah. I'm pretty smart, but I'm also like, I do take some risks. I think I'd be smart. Yeah. I'm pretty smart, but I'm also like, I do take some risks. And I think if I, I think I might take too many risks.

Like what, like what would your risky thing be in, in, in combat? Like, let's say like, I know that there's somebody like, you know, around the corner,

but there's like kind of a safe Haven, just, you know, five, five yards away. I'm like, I can make that. He'll miss.

He'll miss. No, I'll be fine. I might do i'll be fine i might do the twirl i might do the twirl when i go across the alleyway twirl no i would just be like no i'll get there i can i can get there and then i'll get i'll get you guys i'll get you guys and then i'll cover you once i get there yeah watch this seriously watch this first um i maybe throwing grenades maybe you'd be a little risky like i could get in that window yes trust me guys oh yeah i'll thread it i'll thread that needle no i used to be on uh the the sluggers with uh

uncle john is my coach the sluggers man a good pitcher yeah when i could get over the fence trust me guys i was hey guys i don't think i can scale that i don't think i can scale that wall right there but i know i can get the grenade in there okay and then we'll be fine why don't you guys give me your grenades and i'll give you my gun and i'll just throw them from back here yeah yeah give me all your grenades i'll yell i'll yell pretty loud to make sure you guys aren't in the area hey uh troop i was just noticing we don't have a yeller um identified in the group i was just thinking if you guys don't mind i would love to be the yeller the yell leader of the group yeah do we do we need a yeller we do okay yeah i'll i'll do it and can you guys i'll volunteer for

yeller sorry if this is too much but can you guys call me old yeller yeah do okay yeah i'll i'll do it and can you guys i'll volunteer for yeller sorry if this is too much but can you guys call me old yeller yeah that'd be really cool yeah that would maybe be my thing if i was drafted i would try to like get a nickname really early on oh yeah forrest gump made like military nicknames really cool and then there's tex i don't know where he's from yeah that's classic like uh george costanza that one episode he really wants to nickname t-bone so he brings the t-bone steak into work every day try to get the nickname t-bone i do something like that okay like really over the top like uh yeah maybe maybe i'd have a t-bone steak in my pants the first day sure they call me something i'd definitely be the guy that would be giving

out the nicknames yeah try to be that guy i hope we're in the same platoon i think we would be yeah it's by zip code it's geographical yeah or my podcast and by like yeah your uh alabaster skin tone which we have yeah and by your fair skin so that like they'll definitely know you're american yeah yeah for sure okay that's enough war political talk yes this has been talking politics with jake and this has been political ghosties uh Brad, we have a sponsor today.

Um, and it's originated in California, a humble salt. The reason it's called humble salt is just through this quote by Charles Spurgeon, who said the genuine salt of humility cannot be used in excess. So same idea with this humble salt. You cannot use it in excess. You can literally put it on just about anything and it

just makes it so much better. Uh, I was sick this past week with a strep throat and almost all I ate was scrambled eggs, but I always was like, give me some humble salt on that. Those eggs. Yeah. HS that up, you know what I'm saying? So, uh, humble salt is it's, it's truly very, very, very good. And, uh, it's affordable. It's a great gift for anybody. That's a foodie out there. My dad's stocking stuffer that time of year. Yeah. Hey, think about it. January stocking stuffers, MLK days coming up. Yep. Hey, you never know. You never know who needs it for president's day.

First time in like seven, eight months or so. A little rusty at times doing it. This is a sign. I'm a little worried about actually what this could potentially mean. On Wednesday, I got on the internet and I

reserved a lens that I wanted to rent, like a telephoto, like a big zoom lens. Okay. Just to give me some more distance I could shoot from. I don't have to be as close during the ceremony. I can use it. I do it for every wedding I shoot and, uh, ordered it to pick it up at the local Kansas city store Friday. And then I'm about halfway through shooting the wedding Saturday. I was like, Oh, never picked up that lens in Kansas city yesterday. So I just paid for something and just never went to pick it up. Jake. It's kind of becoming a trend in your life, I think.

I'm like getting pretty absent-minded. Yeah. It's happened multiple times where you're like, yeah, dude, I got nothing going on tonight. And then you're like, literally it'll be like, oh gosh, I forgot. Oh, I have like three things. Yeah, and you, yeah, it's not just like you have one thing. You're like, I can't do anything the rest of the day.

I have this, this this and then this tonight yeah so maybe there's a resolution is be less stupid yeah figure out some way to sharpen your brain a little bit yeah maybe play some brain games so is that what you were worried about with the lens is that what you're saying yeah i just felt so dumb like it wasn't that it hit me you know halfway in the drive down there at any point, get it packing my stuff Saturday morning, just like in the middle of shooting it like, Oh, I spent $80 on something that I don't have. It sounds like the issue there is not as much. Maybe of you being absent minded as it is you having a lot of stuff going on that you need to organize a little better. Maybe perhaps, perhaps maybe that's, that's my second, you know,

if you, if you realize you're not absent mindedminded that's my second route that i would take is just like do you have everything in order written down maybe somewhere no yeah not at all doesn't think so yeah um that's great man but other than that the wedding was fun it was good the uh photographer who you know you never really know who i'm going to be working with and that's like your main person she i never met her before but i'd seen every episode of ellen we bought a limo oh Oh, awesome. That was sweet. Yeah. Yeah. It was really fun. So I haven't even seen every, she came to groovies with us. Oh, she grooved. She grooved in the smoke filled room. Yeah. So it was really fun. What do you mean by like working with the photographer? Cause like how much, why, why do you need to like work off each

other? I mean, basically we are next to each other for the whole day. For the ceremony. Oh, I mean everything. Really? We're with each other. We're there when the bride is getting her makeup and hair. We're both shooting that. Then we'll go and shoot some detail shots.

We'll go get the invitations and the rings and the veil. We'll arrange that in a way. We both shoot that together. We shoot the groomsmen getting ready. We shoot the bride getting ready ready bridesmaids and then you know you take the bridesmaids out to do portraits with them yeah we're both pretty much everything i can just keep naming stuff but yeah i guess i didn't realize that it was so in tandem like hey we're both coming to do this now i thought it was just like hey we'll take some pictures and then whenever it's you know convenient for you you

take some video of doing the same thing but you're shooting at the exact same time together and like having to work with each other and then like uh you know if you both know what you're doing you could do it in a good like you could be pretty in sync like uh let's say first dances that could be a time when there's a bunch of people crowded around and we got to work with each other it's like i'm not in her shot she's not mine i'm always asking the photographer, how tight are you right now? Like, what's your focal length? Okay.

If you're at 50, I can get pretty close then. Cause you're not going to see me. Gotcha. So that's interesting. I like knowing the backgrounds of. Yeah. There is a little bit to it, which is kind of like, what's the focal length? I'd never knew that you had to ask that.

Yeah. I don't know if other videographers do that. They should though. It sounds like they should. Yeah. I think it's a self-aware thing to do. Yeah. Common courtesy.

Like get the best shot. You don't want to have somebody in the background with a camera trying to do the same thing interesting okay so it was great saw a lot of uh a lot of people i knew that's a currently trending thing of just like seeing my friends in public without planning on it okay went to messenger coffee last week probably saw eight people in there that i was friends with it was awesome coffee shops in general but especially messenger coffee is like if you're christian and you're young enough like go to a coffee shop you'll find somebody you know there yeah it was uh that was really fun at the wedding i kept there was oh there's one girl that i met last year on new year's eve did not see her until this year at new year's eve oh yeah and then she was at the wedding oh oh so yeah we went much faster this year at New Year's Eve. Oh, yeah. And then she was at the wedding. Oh, oh.

So, yeah, we went much faster this year seeing each other. So you saw her in Kansas City and then you saw her again. Wow. So, yeah, saw her like, yeah, a year ago at New Year's Eve with a totally different group of people at a different spot. Didn't see her for a whole year. Wow. And then saw her this year at New Year's Eve.

Like, this is crazy. I'll see you next year. And then saw her on January 4th. That's. It's just been a fun currently training. I just her on january 4th that's it's just been a fun currently training i just keep seeing people i like it's real fun uh january 4th did you know that that is my wedding anniversary i did kind of maybe knew that uh-huh you you're like yeah it's around that time yeah it's in the uh yeah so we celebrated our sixth wedding

anniversary this past uh sat on saturday congrats thank you congratulations And every single year we go to the Melting Pot. Have you ever been there? No, I thought that was America. Yeah, it is. It's in America. You take a trip to America to see your Uncle Sam. Exactly. No, the Melting Pot is a fondue restaurant.

Have you ever had fondue? I have heard the Justin Bieber song Boyfriend where he says, chilling by the fire, are we eating fondue? It's the same thing. It's like like that it's exactly the same thing okay um so do you really not know what fun you know like the idea catherine you are catherine's boyfriend except in this scenario yeah she is fond of you yes fondue fondue of you i i'm fondue and so i want to marry you i think that's going to work well with the Germans who listen. Fondue is, I believe the Merriam-Webster dictionary would define fondue as any kind of thick liquid that drips down and on multiple, multiple levels.

Oh, okay. That is probably what you're thinking of for chocolate fondue at like a wedding reception or queso. Or cheese fondue. Thick liquid, thick wood as I call it. Yeah, thick wood. No, this is like, they give you a bowl that you actually like okay so and they they melt it into the bowl and then you what's it what's it oh we do a three well actually technically four course meal

but three courses of cheese and then um some kind of broth like oily broth kind of thing for the middle. Oil broth. And then chocolate are the three. Those are all in one bowl? No, no, no. Oh, okay. Sorry.

Those are three different courses. So you start by eating cheese. Yeah, you have cheese. And then you eat broth. And then you eat chocolate? You have cheese. And then they have all these things to dip it in. Oh, I see.

I see. I see. Yeah. So you like melt the cheese in there and then you get like bread and apples and pretzels and tomatoes, all these different things that you can take your skewers. Oh, so it's kind of dealer's choice. Like, oh, what do I want to use my apples on? Well, no, no, no, no, no, no, no.

The cheese is one thing. Like the cheese, the apples come with the cheese. I'm really trying to understand. You don't put the cheese in the broth. That's what I was saying. That would be a fun discussion of like, I'm going to use my apples on the chocolate. Like, oh, me too.

What are you going to do? Pretzels? No, I'm thinking oil broth. You know, like courses. Like I truly, I mean, no, I don't. I've never eaten fondue. But you know what a course is? Yeah, it's like one at a time.

It's like a frame or an inning. So they bring the cheese out first. I was imagining like a platter of dipping things that stay with you. No, no, no, no. And then it's like a lazy Susan that swivels this thick one around. No, my friend. No, my friend.

They have different things that are catered to the cheese, different things that are catered to the broth, aka meat is what you put in the broth. Okay. And then the chocolate as well. So it's really good. Yeah? Yeah. We go every year and we just, it's a really long meal obviously because it takes a long

time that's cool and so you just get really intentional conversation uh and so it was really fun you know um going again this past year the cheese they're all so good but the cheese was like oh my gosh the bell of the ball you will beat the don't drop the soap don't drop the queso and you can like you can choose different like kinds of cheese blends or chocolate blends or like the broth you know it doesn't have to be just broth you can choose different kinds of cheese blends or chocolate blends or the broth. It doesn't have to be just broth. You can choose what type of oil. Red wine or whatever. Pennzoil.

Yeah, exactly. 75W. Exactly. So we didn't go too crazy. But anyway, fun times. But literally, the rest of the week was somewhat miserable for me. Like I said earlier, I think I, I have had strep throat. The strep,

strep, strep, strep, strepococcus. Strepococcus. Yes. A. Um,

and just woke up the New Year's Eve, woke up New Year's Eve morning and just like felt awful. Had the chills, had the fever, uh, just like napped for like five hours and was like, Catherine, I don't like,

we were supposed to have friends over for New Year's Eve. I was like, we got to cancel those plans. I just feel terrible. And so literally for new year's, go ahead and cancel my January 1st spin class that I was going to do. Yeah. I guess I get, Hey, see you next year. See you next year. Spin class. But it really is like the worst being sick on new Year's Eve slash New Year's Day because you want so badly to be able to like, yeah, get, get started with your resolution. The only, or yeah, I was just going to say it's a 24 hour span where I would assume all you're seeing on Instagram is other people hanging out with each other. They were having so much fun.

I bet they were. They were. And I was just like literally depressed and not literally, but like, like, and then, so then yeah, the next day, New Year's day, I went and like hunted down and not literally, but like, like, and then, so then, yeah, the next day, new year's day, I went and like hunted down an urgent care, like minute clinic place that was open. You know, there were all these places. I did know I went to three different places. I brought a rifle. You're going to see me. I tell you, you see this, it has, it has my initials on the bottom of it. This gun does. And I, you brought, I want to know the last person that

saw this gun. I'll just say that right now. Rhymes with Shmiolani. Okay. You brought like a rifle and then a flashlight to like shine it on your throat. See this, you see it and see this. Uh,

but finally, finally got antibiotics. And after they say, you know, after 24 hours of antibiotics, you are not contagious anymore. And so the next day, you know,

36 hours later, like, like I've been literally quarantined in my room this entire time. And like, it's like really affected me emotionally. Like as a father, how do you just look in with Catherine in her arms and be like, good night, dad. You like reach out. I love you. And I'm like, I'm like, yeah, like so sad, just like depressed feeling. Uh, I'm like not really so sad just like depressed feeling uh i'm like not really crying but like getting there almost like yeah i love you too like i want to hug you so bad you have a good night's sleep like i'm like i do not remember how beautiful she was you know like sorry like she got this golden light on her so 36 hours after i've had antibiotics like katherine's finally like hey i think you can come in the living room and you you know, like do the dishes.

Yeah. Do they, I think, I think you're probably okay enough to fold some laundry. I think you're ready to make that four course meal for us that you promised. Uh, we can choose where we dip our sauces, but, um, no, but it was like, I felt like an old person at like a funeral home, like going to like see these kids, like that come in for like a choir concert or something like sing some patriotic song like i feel like i literally just like went into my living room sat there didn't have my phone didn't have anything just sat there with my arms on the armrests and just watched my

daughter play like i was pretty emotional or emotionless the whole time like just kind of like just like a wax figure yeah kind of stuck there i felt like i felt like the breaking bad guy like the guy with the bell like you know like all this like it was just so sad i was just like golly but then i thought to myself this is why old people love the little things in life is because their lives are sad a lot they don't have a lot going on i'm serious man it was like it was great just watching Hattie. She was just doing a puzzle. And I was like, this is the best part of my day so far.

This is so awesome. Yeah. Go do the puzzle. Yeah. That's a corner piece. I would have started with the corners, but that's fine. Do it however you want. I didn't even say anything.

I just looked at her. And she probably was like, what's my dad doing over there? Anyway, finally, I'm starting to feel better. Still don't feel good to be honest but i'm feeling better it's just strep man it's it'll take it out of you yeah strep's not fun and you've had it several times yeah like i've learned that it's kind of a little bit of genetics that you you're more or less prone to it so i think i'm just my tonsils are just a little more in there have Have you considered getting a neck transplant?

Neck plant? I haven't. I didn't know that was a thing. Oh yeah. Yeah? Oh yeah. Would you be willing? I will have to size each other up.

Okay. Yeah. Yours is a little smaller than mine. We can figure it out. But yeah, if I find out that I'm a perfect match. Would that affect my singing abilities? Like would you all of a sudden be a singer yeah it's a full transplant like they they cut it from the top and from the bottom and

they don't take anything in or out okay it's like a it's like switching out just like what happens my face is your face full so there's one doctor you've you've probably heard of the uh the noggin holder yeah the no yeah not not that's named after dr noggin holder from germany yes dr noggin holder yes so what they'll come in and uh they kind of got clamps for hands they're real strong real good for probably rock climbers yes and they will come in and just hold your head and then they do a quick uh they get really they get string actually it's really sharp string and they just go straight from front to back noggin holders got in place and they do a quick switcheroo okay it's like uh you've seen nascar like the pit stops yeah they're switching tires it's that fast it's that fast and it's that loud

oh really it's very loud okay yeah so everything gets switched over because the noggin holder is not that strong so you don't have time to like replace vocal cords or like blood transfusions it's very very fast just the neck yeah and just the neck full neck switch okay good to know something to think about yeah i'll think about it do you so do you have like do they have people willing to do it or is it dead people that you you switch out like am i gonna have an old man's neck you don't want to go with a dead person i don't want eugene's neck no yeah uh you don't want to go really too old at all. They're just like some racist undertones you can't get rid of. Even in the throat, they stay in the throat.

Okay. And so you'll start saying weird stuff about like Pearl Harbor and like how good it used to be. Sure. Sure. Some weird things. So you don't want that. Okay. You ever seen the movie John Q?

Yeah, I think so. Denzel? Denzel. Be prepared to take matters into your own hands like John Q. Oh, really? Where, you know, he, he took over a hospital to get his son's name on the heart transplant list. Yeah. That could be you. Not a lot of neck donors out there. Jake, I'm just going to go ahead and ask it because it feels like, you know, a lot about this. Have you had a neck transplant? I, you know, that's funny. You've always been good at picking

up on stuff. I thought, yeah, this is not my real neck. Gosh, I knew it was too good to be true. Believe it or not. Yeah. I could belt it with the best of them. People would always say, man, like that guy's got a great Adam's apple. I'll be like, yeah, it's God given. I just wish I had that.

I was lying the whole time. Yeah. From age six on, I switched next with Antonio. Yeah. Steve's like, yeah, that guy's got a bad, our kid's's got a bad neck we need to go ahead and switch out that neck yeah so uh you still sing really well and uh gave it up um because antonio was uh was needing oh wow my neck oh wow so you were the you were the hero in this situation yeah yeah i was and uh good for you yeah yeah that means a lot man yeah it's really cool yeah i don't tell a lot man yeah it's really cool i don't

tell a lot of people because you know yeah they don't need to know that's not the point that's not the point of why you did oh no no no no right um i am in a couple like facebook groups for other neck planters are you and it's been good to have someone to talk to you about it so yeah uh if you've also like been the the quarterback or the receiver of a neck plant um leave us a five-star review and tell us what it was like and like if i can be there for you at all yeah yeah well sarah mclaughlin has a foundation for this as well doesn't she yes and i've always thought like who who ever needs that now i know because the commercials are like really touching like oh my gosh i never thought about this situation they show the noggin older right there dr noggin older and he's like locked

in this cage and he's shivering right like someone should help i mean i'm not gonna help but someone should and uh yeah good for her good for us unreal um episode 35 uh okay i have i have new rule for us oh okay it's a it's it's a new rule for you and me but it's new rule for society it's kind of scary anytime anyone's ever told me new rule it's like either like uh no you'll love it like a girlfriend like hey new rule um we're not gonna say anything about my weight ever again probably we're going we're only going neck up okay no more uh okay i i've noticed you're you're noggin older um new rule okay no this is gonna be a liberating rule for you oh sweet it's it's it's going to be societal thing kind of like the uh dad's daughter's breakfast dad's at breakfast on saturdays with

their kids uh new rule for honking your horn oh okay i i have something written down about honking my horn okay good yeah this might liberate it okay um so here's how it works. You are allowed to honk a horn at somebody at a stoplight, not going. This is specifically that situation. Okay. You, what you do is you,

light turns green. You ease off the brake, or no, you take your foot off the brake and your car just goes forward. By the time that your car is about to hit that car that is when you are able to now put on your horn this is a good rule okay it's it's it's not a seven

second like oh gosh i'm from the midwest and i can't honk my horn i don't want to i don't want to i don't want to be but it's not it's not like a you know big city you know one second later you know it's a good maybe two and a half seconds you know where you're just kind of easing up what are you like i'm about to hit this person if they don't go i better honk their stop and give them a little what sorry i have a cough drop my mouth maybe so two two friendly beeps uh let them know man actually no i'll be honest in my real life i wouldn't do two bees i would go see i always double beep even when i am upset it's still like beep beep oh if i'm upset if somebody's like getting in my lane or something really yeah yeah yeah oh i guess i would yeah if

someone pulls out in front of me i'll i'll lay on it yeah but as far as like stop by etiquette i double beep so what should we call this new rule by the noggin holder the noggin holder yeah yeah that makes sense for this yeah for this i don't know what you would call it jake um the uh the slow crawler okay the slow collar stoplight rule maybe caterpillar we can the cart caterpillar cart or pillar rule cart or pillar cart or pillar yeah um yeah so i cart pillared it and i cart or I cartipillared and she went as soon as I cartipillared. Because there is like an expectation, like a natural flow of traffic. Like you just got to let off your brake a little bit. Give them some time.

Like I watched somebody the other day not honk their horn at somebody for so long. And I was like, surely you want to go. Yeah. You want to make this light and the three people behind you also want to make this light give us a little honk do it for the people in the back it's not it's not rude to just give a quick toot i can't honk from back here they're not gonna hear that no they're not and they're if they do they're gonna think they're gonna look back and be like hey this guy in front of me what's this guy for cars back honking for? Right. Yeah. So have you heard about like whenever they're supposed to come out with new like self-driving

cars, the like lag time, you know, like right now, like it turns green, you're five cars behind and you don't go for another five seconds. The accordion effect. Yes. In traffic. With new self-driving cars, that's going to be non-existent. That's sweet. That's a world I want to live in.

That's crazy. Honestly. That's so awesome. Yeah. I can't wait. I've already noticed in my like four days of living in overland park how much less i'm honking in fact i'm not honking at all you were honking i was starting to be a i was starting to be a honky boy really yeah in midtown there's not so much because people weren't going when it's green but where i was living pretty much downtown there's just a lot of rules that people don't follow very well.

As far as like, you can't turn left here between four and 6 PM. Cause it's crazy. Or like some intersections you can't turn left ever. And so if I'm behind someone who's trying to turn left, when you can't turn left, I'll let them know. Hey,

come on, go straight. You're holding everybody up. Right. There's a reason that this rule is here. Yes. Yeah. So yeah,

I honky tonk like the Caterpillar rule. Caterpillar rules there for a reason, guys. Do we have any connections with any local congressmen i'd like to get the caterpillar rule on paper sooner rather than later i actually do have a connection with the kansas congressman garrett love no oh well actually he's a senator oh state senator no robert lipton nash yeah i do know garrett love love garrett love love gar. Love wins. No, this is Jerry Moran. Oh. You know him. No. I went to college with his daughters. And he's actually the senator?

Yeah. He's a big deal. What was his nickname when he was running for office? Jer-Bear. That was it. Hey, Jer-Bear. Yeah, he's so soft. Give us a quick poke in the belly. Yeah. Yeah. He's a bigger guy so it goes my belly he's awesome yeah yeah i didn't know he was a big deal and i still i like he still remembers this story because i told i told him like in front of like this banquet one time like i i told him this story about how you've talked to this guy oh yeah oh i thought you were joking that you know jerry moran's like i know oh we can talk about the card filler with him i definitely thought you were joking just like oh i know his daughter somebody in the law okay no no no like because

like i got selected to be part of this like organization my freshman year and everybody's like yeah jerry moran's daughter is one of the other people in your group and everyone else in my like in my car with me was like whoa really oh at And at this point, I don't know how big he was or whatever. As far as his belly goes or as far as popularity? As far as popularity goes. He's a pretty skinny, pretty trim guy. He's got a stomach. Yeah, he's a stomach guy.

But everyone else was really impressed by this. So I was like, oh, wow. Pretending like I knew it as well. And then I told him, along with all these other people, at the end of the year, at the end of this banquet, I like in front of everybody on the speech, I've been like, who the heck is Jerry Moran? And he says, he like still remembers that. Oh, no way. Like, oh, I remember that guy. He was so funny. Yeah. So dude. Nice. Yeah. So we could easily get this. Yeah. No. Yeah. Yeah. Oh, he owes me one. I'm not going to say what I did for him. No, yeah. Yeah. Oh, he owes me one. I'm not going to say what I did for him.

No, I'm just kidding. But let's say I got him all the water he needed for his festival. Let's just say they weren't in agriculture school when they came, but they were in agriculture school when they left. Okay. One other thing I wanted to mention on this week's podcast, which is kind of exciting. So y'all know about our connection with Mr. James. Oh, Mr at chick-fil-a he continues to hook it up isaac has somehow finagled his way into free chick-fil-a he's not putting cups in his podcast clubs i don't know what he did just by association i guess but uh no it's awesome isaac gets free chick-fil-a and really any time

i've ever brought anyone to that chick-fil-a they also get it for free so mr dream's been hooking it up left and right. We were there at the tail end of last week, right before I went to Oklahoma. And who walks in? Well, I guess we didn't know them by their faces, but we found out later. James's cousins walked into Chick-fil-A and wait, were you here for this? No. Oh, I thought you were.

No. Oh, wow. So this is news to you too. I really thought you were there. It must have just been Isaac and I. No, I've been sick all week oh you're gonna love this so james goes and talks to these people after they sit down and so then he comes up and tells us like yeah those are my cousins or whatever and they had to pay for their meal james didn't hook up his cousins oh what like 10 minutes beforehand isaac and i got free chick-fil-a oh suck it norma it was

awesome that's awesome. Yeah. So we're like getting pretty special treatment. He doesn't just toss this out to anyone. James has also made some, not promises, but some exciting sentences strung together about making us some special things that are on the menu. Some, I'll say it in Spanish so you guys uh yeah you know good don't know quesadillas yeah that's secret yeah now no one else can know yeah you can make us some chicken

quesadillas that's gonna be dope though yeah when that day comes man what a world i can't wait yeah that'll be good stuff anyway yeah i wanted you to know that's really funny no i hadn't heard that james's cousins didn't even get hooked up at trick play and we did because they have like a family discount but it must be like immediate family and podcast people. And maybe they got a discount. We just know, we saw them pay. Like money was exchanged. Unreal.

Between James and his cousins. Unreal. It was awesome. I love that. Okay. You want to do a review of the week? Oh, yeah. Good call.

We, guys, next week's episode is going to be an exciting one we uh it's looking like we'll have our first guest ever next week blanks of the week we'll be back uh we're gonna skip voice memos this week and do that next week so feel free to leave us some uh except actually we're recording that one like tomorrow basically so get them in fast uh but yeah next week's gonna be exciting one and in the meantime let's do our reviews of the week for this week we got some great reviews this week there was one that maybe the longest review we've ever gotten it was lengthy it was a doozy hit the word count um i wonder if it does like cut you off i don't know leave us a five-star review and let us know if it cuts you how far you can get um

also my internet's not working so you're gonna have to oh really you have to carry us on review of the week um well let's start with this um alexander her commented and said i was wondering if on a phone call you guys are the ones to hang up or if you let the other person hang up i thought that was actually kind of a funny question i actually don't even know what i am i 100 know what i am really i never hang up oh really i just think why should i hang up they're gonna hang up I just think, why should I hang up if they're going to hang up? I just put my- It's an oddly very pretentious time of your life. Only when you're hanging up the phone do you get very high and mighty.

I just put my phone down. Oh, and what do you want? Me to hang up? No, it's not about- I don't think so. It's not about them versus me. I think that almost every other person in life is going to hang up their phone. So you're challenging them? I know you're going to do it. I think that almost every other person in life is going to hang up their phone. So you're like challenging them.

Like, I know you're going to do it. Yeah. I know that's how you end phone calls. I've never done it, but I know that's how you do it. I just put my phone down and watch it end. Every time? Yes. That's funny.

I do have on my truck, I have like the things on my steering wheel. So sometimes I press end on there. But yeah, I'm not, I'm not going to like all the trouble to bring it out, you know, and try to find it. And no. That is a lot of trouble. When you explain it like that, I understand why you don't want to do that. Because every once in a while you go to about to touch it and then they've already touched it.

And then you feel like an idiot because you touched it. Yeah, I just wasted a good millisecond of my life. I just touched a phone screen. Can't ever get back. Without needing to. Yeah. I'm trying to take the world by the hand and I just did that. Feels like it took me by the hand.

Yeah. I just wasted my movement. So no, I always let him hang up. So you'd never hang up. I didn't know that was like a power move though. I just think that feels like it took me by the hand yeah i just wasted my movement so no i always let him hang up so you'd never hang up i didn't know that was like a power move though i just think oh it is that's sending shock waves through my body that you do that i had no idea and then if they don't hang up then it's kind of like a funny thing like oh you're also one of those yeah me too oh that's funny i'm glad yes yeah because i i don't really care or not like i will try to hang up when the conversation's over. Yeah.

And yeah, it's about 50-50. Sometimes I get there in time. Sometimes I don't. Oh, man. I talked to my mom on the phone today. She beat me to it. So I wasted some hand movement. Yeah.

Like a dingus. You're right. Now that I think about it. Yeah, gosh, I felt a lot of shame in that conversation. Okay. Do we want to talk about this, long distance boyfriend thing oh yeah okay i remember reading that uh a few days ago this girl the one that had the very long uh review asked at the end if she could at if she could call jake her long distance boyfriend

fake boyfriend like not like a true relationship or anything. Just she wants to have somebody as like a placeholder. So that whenever people ask her, uh, you know, who are you seeing? What's, what's, you know, that area of your life, she says, this is the guy. And she can have, and she can have lots of details about you. It sounds like, and she could just like skirt the question. It sounds like she says she's done it with somebody in the past, but then they got married. And so they no longer can do that. That's maybe the biggest red flag of the whole review was that like, oh, this isn't some fun idea she just came up with. It's like, oh, this is something she's dealt with before.

Like she needs a fake boyfriend. Yeah. Other than that. She said, I'm weird. I'm owning it on here. Okay. She doesn't lease this out. Yeah.

She's paying for this. Yeah. It seems like I don't owning it on here. Okay. She knows. She doesn't lease this out. Yeah. She's paying for this. Yeah. It seems like I don't have to do anything, right? Well, yeah. You'll have to send her flowers that she says this. You sent her every once in a while. Oh, wow. But you don't have to actually.

You just have to agree. You have to agree to it. I have to give verbal consent that she can say whatever she wants about me? I don't know. Yeah. Yeah, I guess that's okay. I i mean it's kind of weird to it feels weird to give consent to a stranger about anything that has to do with me but uh you seem fun and i guess if that's gonna help whatever situation you're in to to tell your friends and family that we're dating i i guess you can it's good until I change my mind. Jake's in.

As long as there's no strings attached. Because my strings aren't for the... What's next for you? Well, I do want to also give this person a shout out. They said they were... Let's see. Oh, she was able to listen to 17 episodes in one sitting whoa of us that's how much i like you guys unless you talk to each other for 18 hours straight oh my god i was laughing a vast majority of the time even crying a little bit that has to be so she was driving

you know but yeah wow she goes from peoria illinois to brookline new hampshire wow yeah 18 hour drive. And she listened to us the whole time. That's crazy to think about someone sitting in a living room and hearing us talk for 18 hours straight. That is crazy. Like a conversation. I could never do that.

I could not. I would get so annoyed. Carry that on. By whoever it is. I would find like the little idiosyncrasies in the way they talk. Yeah. Stop talking. Good for you.

That's awesome. You know what? Yeah. You deserve it. I'm glad i'm your fake boyfriend i guess okay i don't know the the best review the review of the week is going to be the one next day i'm going to use for my jingle at the end they wrote they wrote a review in the uh in the in the form of a sing song yeah so i'm going to wait until the end to do that one. Second place here. Runner up Andy Loves After says, I'm new and having a good time. It's fun to listen to and relatable.

Also, I'm happy it's clean. Finding a podcast that isn't explicit is difficult to find these days. Sending love from Utah. Utah. Utah. Omaha. That's nice. That's a nice review. Yeah. Yeah. And we definitely like, oh, I don't know if take pride is the right word, but we emphasize like we want to be funny without being too crude. So I think it's harder to do. It is harder to do. And that's why I think we

want to do it. Yeah. So we definitely have our times where we're like, oh, that was a little borderline. But for the most part, we keep it clean. As long as it's not a murder mystery party, I can usually like ran it in and do okay. That's like your carte blanche though. Hey guys, I'm going to a murder mystery party tonight, so no judgments, okay? If you guys can all put your cell phones in this basket so no one can record me and use this against me in the future, that would be awesome. What happens at the MMP stays at the MMP.

I'm going to say some things that are in accordance with the time period that we're currently in right so i went to dave and buster's a few nights ago oh with grant yeah it was awesome yeah it was really great yeah he uh he was telling me i guess maybe you've heard this too on pardon my take on that podcast someone called in and uh was saying this thing about how like it was a woman calling in because her boyfriend is obsessed with dave and busters and like won't stop talking about it and really crippling them financially she's like tried to talk to him crippling them financially yeah it's like it's like getting in the way of their livelihood how much he loves dave and busters no i have not heard about this and i guess he

calls it busters she's like when i try to talk to him uh he says but you love busters granted told me that story a long time ago and then when i called him on my way down friday i was like hey i should be there by like 9 p.m you know whatever if you want to hang and he said uh you want to go to busters and i said oh busters he, but you love Buster's. That's great. That was really fun to do all night. Did you guys do the Connect Four basketball game? This game, if you guys don't know,

the perfect harmony of athleticism and strategy. And a little luck. Yeah. Yeah. It's awesome. You play Connect Four, but it's a basketball that goes in these like vertical columns to you know play your piece yeah based on how well you shoot so

you could be aiming for dead center to try and block it but then you you miscalculate you plink a little bit yeah yeah ding ding ding and then now you're going far right yeah and uh yeah it's awesome it's a great game played that a lot got some motion sickness in a virtual reality oh really yeah those things don't really interest me very much no fine i mean yeah i'll go but i won't get excited about it really virtual reality i get so much more excited about that connect for game than virtual reality maybe you haven't done good haven't true yeah i don't have much experience i have lots of connect four experience i got really into the it's like a super old game but just the football one where you could throw the big target for 20 yards medium target for 40 yeah i spent most of my

tickets on that game really trying to fine-tune it because these things pop up on the side these like bonus oh yeah and there's like a timing to it. So once you figure out the cadence of when those things are going to pop up, oh yeah. I love it. So would you rather have a certain amount of tickets or a certain amount of time? I think I'd rather have time. I think I've done both. Yeah. I think time's more fun too.

Because then you find a game you like and you can just ride it all night. Like, yeah, exactly. That's how i think too unless it was like a a big difference like 200 coins that can last most people an hour and a half or 30 minutes then i got a decision on my hands okay let's say like 200 coins that can last most people will say an hour and a half or um 30 minutes i'm kidding that's that's or an hour free play hour free play okay yeah i can i can make it happen in there okay have you ever done the dance dance revolution okay yes not there very recently the new dance

dance revolution is at least when we went to d Dave and Buster's kind of recently for your birthday, they have them on the corners, right? The buttons are on the corners. The old Dance Dance Revolution was like a cross. So it was like the up, down, left, right. Now there's like a- Oh, I see what you're saying. Now there's like, yeah,

five buttons rather than, well- It's like four corners in the middle. Four. Yeah. I didn't even notice that. Yeah. It bothers me. So I'm not, I used to be really good.

We had a pad at home for our Xbox. My sister got it to like work out. That was like her way of like, she's like, I'm going to work out by doing Dance Days Revolution. It's kind of a fun way to work out. Yeah. It was great. It was hilarious.

Like hearing her like do these like, you know, Japanese pop songs or stuff, but like she's like ready steady go words to all these k-pop songs because she's been working out to exactly but we got pretty good at it but now i like refuse to do the other one because yeah it's not the same it's in the corners it's in the corner and you're all your all your muscle memories you know vertical and horizontal i think be way harder unless you're doing that like being like the guy like like straddles like the back with his arms and that's what i was going guy that like, like straddles like the back with his arms. And that's what I was going to ask about.

Cause like, there's always that person there. I'm very fascinated by that type of person who is so good at dances revolution. Cause it has the time, every time arcade I've ever been to, there is always one person in like jeans for some reason. Like you came here knowing you were probably going to play dance.

Yeah. Loose baggy jeans. Maybe like a wallet connected to a chain. Oh yeah. You can see. And they're just sweating like there's no tomorrow. Yep. Yep.

But you're incredibly good at Dance Dance Revolution. Right. Like why is that such a common thing that I've seen in my life? It is very interesting. And they are good. And they spent a lot of money there on that. They've spent a lot of, yeah, money and time. Because it's a very, like you're not, you don't have that at home like you have to go there to

get better i know one person had at home your sister but it was different the pad was different okay they don't have that machine at home yeah uh maybe they have it at home you're right maybe they're like watching youtube and just like practicing like they're like putting their arms on their bed at the standing desk yeah yeah they have a vera desk and they're like that'd actually be really funny if like, that's how they trained is like watching YouTube videos and just doing it on their floor. Like they just like put little like cart or construction tape on the ground.

Yeah. But yeah, I agree. Those, those people are interesting. They're probably who keep Dave and busters in business more than anything else. Yeah.

I think next time I just want to ask them a bunch of questions, but they're always busy. They're always dancing. It's not like I'm really scared to talk to them. It's just, I don't want to interrupt. Well, even when they get done though,

it's like, they don't want to talk to you. No, they don't. They're, they're fine just being good and not, yeah, they don't need the glory.

Cause they, you know, they got 99% success. And so they're thinking about the 1%. I'm like, Oh, what could I have done better? Yep.

They're perfectionists. I've seen it before. I have legitimate like wristbands on, like they're wiping their sweat in the middle of like the round. Really? You know, wiping their sweat while they're still going. Like, wow, this is awesome. Yeah, man.

I don't have much more to add than that, but I am intrigued by that as well. Yeah, they're just always there. But I love arcades. They're so great. Something about them. I think I'm just immature, but I just love playing games. I don't think that's immaturity. I think that's just kid at heart. just love playing games. I don't think that's immaturity.

I think that's just kid at heart. There's a difference. Pretty similar, though. No, immaturity is like, hey, let's, I don't know, you make some crude joke about the way a puck is shaped or something. I don't know. Like, look at this air hockey puck. Look how it moves on here. I don't know.

You're really bad at being immature i am good i haven't been immature for so many years humility is another really big uh maturity thing so i'm i've been i've been humble for a really long time i've been humble for so long it's crazy i can't even remember the last time i wasn't humble because i just have such a you know just long streak of humility in my life. And most of my friends too, I would say I'm the most humble too, which has been cool to kind of lead them in humility. My friends don't tell me that, but I just know I'm a really smart, intuitive guy. So I know that I'm most humble. I see myself as kind of the leader of the humble wolf.

For sure. Oh yeah. Yeah. Like everyone else is like, oh, I'm kind of prideful. I'm kind of immature. I'm like, nope, nope, not me. Don't see any, don't see anything wrong. You notice I was eating eggs, huh?

Got some humble salt on them. That's right. Very, very humble. I'm a humble boy, nope, not me. Not me. Don't see anything wrong. You notice I was eating eggs, huh? Got some humble salt on them. That's right. Very, very humble. I'm a humble boy. Exactly. Oh, man. Brad, do you want to end episode 35 with a little jingle from our reviewer? Yes.

My critique was the key of the song bothered bothered me oh really excited i know it's such a silly thing but like the original song is like a different deeper i don't know if it's deeper higher i didn't analyze that much of it but that bothered me like it was like this but like overall i thought it was hilarious that's good i like the dave ramsey oh yeah i forgot i texted you as soon as we wrote that line i was like you're gonna like this one yeah but i

was like this doesn't sound like new york new york even though i knew it was like the same tune there's just a different key interesting that's my one one critique i'm sorry sorry i do it on air uh no that's okay it's uh real wait speaking of keys real quick okay so yeah i would like your i don't think we're gonna have the same opinion on this but i want your honest opinion on it oh great me as a non-music guy i've never understood what a key change is you know in song and music like why would i no one's ever taught me that and if i've never studied music like i'll give you a song to listen to right now on the way home. The Blower's Daughter. Excuse me? Excuse me, as right. The Blower's Daughter by Damien Rice.

Beautiful key change. Okay. And I'll try to text you, I guess. You'll recognize it, I think. I'll know it. Okay. But okay, you don't know or you don't. Oh, so even when, like an example, when we were having that Justin Bieber argument via

text with Connor, I was like, listen to this and listen to this. I didn't even realize that those were like different keys or different octaves. I was just like, they're different though though and i like this version a lot and okay so i've there's been this thing in my life like a random like pet peeve that last 15 years probably in my life okay uh typically in like a car or any kind of group setting we're all listening to music and there'll be someone when the song does a key change where they will like address it and be like, oh, that key change though. And to me, it's always seemed so like, look at me. I know music.

Oh, yeah. Oh, yeah. Okay. I didn't know if that was just because I'm the ignorant one. So no, but I mean, since high school, that has annoyed the dickheads out of me. It's such a random specific thing. But that person who points out the key change in a song drives me up the wall it's the same person that's like oh you guys need a guitar player let me get out my guitar like like everyone's having

a normal conversation and then they just bring out their guitar it's like they're and they're just they're like not really like wanting you to listen but they're kind of like looking out the corner of your eye like hey you listen to me play sweet home right now that was i gotta tell you something with this podcast episode that's that's perfect but like you know what i mean like that's like yeah like i never want to be that person in anything like that i love analyzing music and stuff but i'm not gonna like ridicule or even like show it about like yeah it's like a show-off like a knowledge show-off thing like it would i'm trying to get like an analogy like if we were all watching football with maybe some people we knew

and some people we didn't and look at them they're in cover too yes yeah that's perfect like okay guy like yeah we get it most of the people here are seeing that you're the only one saying it out loud though yeah just to show off that you know what they did a corner blitz yeah yeah they did okay yep you know who the corner is i don't know if you've ever really watched football with other people before because you don't really name the plays like right right um yeah i'm glad you're on my side because i really i really thought i was like maybe this annoys me because i'm the one like i'm the the uncool kid who's like what are you guys talking about i will say it's interesting like i wonder if you're talking more about octaves than keys maybe i am because very few songs change

keys midway through i mean this hasn't happened a lot in my life but enough to where you know maybe once a year this happens because you know like octave is like you're singing the same note just higher it's like a piano you can just move down like the whole like justin bieber thing was like my mama don't like you and she likes ever and then he like in that live version he's saying it like one way higher it was awesome mama don't like you you know like same same thing or whatever so that was a different octave no that was actually the same notes i think maybe i don't know maybe those are different octaves it's hard to think about right now um but like they stay in the same key the key is like going from like yeah listen blower's daughter damien rice you'll hear this

makes you feel better too they're like i can't really explain it just listen to it it's like a very much more drastic thing like dan and octave it's more drastic oh yeah yeah i feel like beyonce does it decently often is that correct uh don't listen to beyonce very often to know that's fair but like worship a lot of times in worship the more mellow is like a lower octave. And then they want to sing like more with emotion and they up an octave. Gotcha. Cool. So that's probably maybe what they're talking about. I don't know.

That's cool. Or maybe like Beyonce might sing low and then all of a sudden get up high. I don't know. Okay. Anyway. I feel like for the last five minutes, I didn't feel like we were recording a podcast. Just like an actual really normal conversation where i'm just like learning something which is kind of how a lot of this goes yeah i like really got lost in the podcast sauce

there yeah uh okay so we did the jingle to end it like 15 minutes ago but hope you guys enjoyed episode 35 like i said next week's one will probably be a very different one yeah we're excited for you guys to hear it you guys are gonna guys are going to really like it though.
