I am back from the cruise of a lifetime. Triplet Family Cruise. I don't even really know where to start. So I just looked at the top of my notes. This is the first thing I wrote down because this is the first thing that happened. We have just boarded the ship and the captain is making a lot of announcements.

Cruises have come a long way since the last time I cruised because it's all done in like an app now. It's a lot. There was no apps the last time I went on a- No apps. Or there were- There, there. No, apps did exist, actually.

Now that I think about it... The trash can game was a big one. Doodle Jump. Flashlight was a... But Carnival didn't have one. No. They also had mozzarella sticks, nachos. Queso, I want to say, was out then.

Yeah, Queso Platter was a good app. But no Carnival app. No Carnival. From what I remember. Okay. And so now buffalo wings yeah yeah that came out in 2016 i think so yeah it should have been out by then boneless and so it's just you a lot of things you used to have to do in person you don't have to do as much you

have to go to your muster stations really and you don't have to muster anymore no no you catch up you just you can catch up on some sleep but part of the, what you could do on the app is like go through all the safety briefings. So I think everyone has to have the app and you have to like, basically they were coming with the announcements saying like, we cannot take off until everyone goes through this safety stuff.

And it's very easy. It takes 30 seconds. And so part one is just like, watch this video. Okay. Part two is like familiarize yourself with the horn if we have to use it whoa so it's gonna like play the horn and your speaker and you have to just be like yep i heard it like i know it yeah i thought you were saying like if in case of emergency there's no longer a horn on the thing

it's just going through your phone like kind of like an emergency alert system like an amber i familiarize myself with that. All right. So that's different. Okay. Got it. I know it. So you're not that far off from where I'm going because Uncle John, your coach, is trying

to figure it out. And he's pretty with it. But, you know, occasionally you 60 years old, certain technological things are just tricky. Sure. He's like looking, looking at the phone seven inches away from him. He's going, have you guys already done this? We're like, yeah, a couple hours ago. What the?

All right. Why don't we? He's trying to figure out. I can't. Did yours make noise? And he's trying to figure it out. Eventually, I'm just trying to shut him up. And so I go, you have to make.

So it needs to verify that you know what the sound is. You have to make the sound back into the phone. And I mean, I did not expect him to fall for this and i mean instantly he goes and the whole table is like john what are you doing and he's like oh my gosh oh i'm old i fell for i fell for the most basic technology prank immediately he's he's doing this he's going oh i'll fall for anything oh my gosh and so the whole rest of the trip i mean john just over there just like anybody need anything horn on the royal caribbean cruise because you don't have to go to your muster station anymore

prank throwing the swings uh-oh oh i think this tight beat means that it's going down with some random thoughts and white bonus so yeah that was it was a really funny start to the trip. I feel like, I don't know how many times, at least every night before bed, Rachel would lay down and go, John is so funny. So it's just, how lucky am I? Between my dad and John,

they're two of the best storytellers I've ever been around. They're so funny. Steve Koop is so funny funny just living his life. Yeah. I don't know if I ever want to vacation again without having access to watch Steve Coop live. It was just such a fun trip.

And for it to start off with John doing the emergency horn into his phone while trying to shove down some mashed potatoes. There is something special. And I wonder if this is like, yeah, ghosties can let us know. But like my dad and my uncle are just, yeah, a crack up together. And they're brother-in-laws. They're not like.

They're not even brothers. They're not brothers, but they just have become best friends. And they're so fun. And yeah, even like back when they were in their 30s and 40s, you'd see like funny things they would do. Like one time my mom and aunt went out shopping and they came back and my dad and uncle had done some crazy, elaborate, stupid date night thing for them, like that's fun dressed up in these ridiculous costumes. And it's just like, I wonder if there's something about like a strong extended family that needs

like these two fun loving men, just like at the helm of whatever. So it was awesome. I've had it like modeled for me my whole life. I'm like, man, that'd be, I can't wait to have a brother-in-law someday. And yeah, it was fun vacationing with them. And we, yeah, we're all ready to do it again. It was fun. Really? I'm a cruise guy now. Really? It was a blast. Steve Coop went to rebook his next cruise before we had taken off. Before we'd taken off. Yes. We were still on the boat. He's like, I'm in. Yeah. We hadn't like left yet. And he was like, i wonder when we could do this next summer i i wonder how much i from my experience with steve coop he might be the easiest like as a salesman he might be the easiest person

to sell anything to oh that is funny you mentioned that oh really oh my gosh so all right the or the day of our first excursion so this is, if you haven't gone on cruises, the boat will take you to, for our instance, an island off the coast of Honduras, Roatan, Honduras. And there's, I don't know, 20 different like sanctioned official excursions. You can choose from them. You don't have to do any of them.

You can stay on the boat or we can get off the boat and do whatever you want. Take a taxi cab with the cartel, go get into some mischief, who knows what. It's your day. It's your excursion. Yeah. You can do the local excursion where yeah, you get arrested for a little bit or yeah. Yeah. Just the boat leaves at four 30 or whatever. So be back by then. So we go and do this like snorkeling exertion, go to this like beach and it's really fun. The whole crew goes, uh, well they've got locals just walking the beach uh trying to sell you things okay and steve coop bought one of everything it was like traveling with like a

nine-year-old with money or something um like a like a rug or like a like a scarf so they do sell rugs and even the comedian on the boat was talking about that he's like i don't want to tell them how to do their business but we're all burning hot. Don't tell us rugs. And you can't fold them up very easily. Like what are you doing? My dad said, he's like, I wouldn't even take it if they gave it to me for free. I wouldn't even want it.

Cause I'm like, how do I get this back? Right. And my suitcase, like, I don't think you should be selling rugs. Yeah. Um, maybe like a nice, like shawl, like a Pashmina or like a towel that can be rolled up. Very shammy. Yeah. Shammy. I think so. Maybe like a nice shawl, like a pashmina, or like a towel that can be rolled up very... A shammy?

Yeah, a shammy. I think so. So it started with, I think, the first person to come up to us was selling T-shirts. Okay. And so Steve Koop was like, well, I'll take one. Anybody else want one?

You doing a twofer deal? The guy's like, sure. This guy's like, no one usually even acknowledges me. So yeah, of course. And so I think he buys himself a shirt and cousin Steve-O a shirt. It's like, all right, off to a great start. Steve-O getting in on the action. Yep.

Okay. We all go off and do a couple of things. I go snorkel. I come back. Steve Koop's got a cowboy hat on. I say, did you pack that? He said, no, I bought it for my guy. So now he's got a bright orange shirt that says Honduras on it and a cowboy hat.

I love it because the Hondurans are like, what do Americans like? I don't know. They are big cowboy people. We'll sell the cowboy hats. And it's like, yeah, good idea. Good idea. Yeah, do the cowboy hats. And it's like, man, I'm not selling as many of these cowboy hats as I thought I would.

They're coming out of Galveston. Why aren't they buying these hats? Like that guy's going to buy one for sure. They do. Speaking of Cowboys, they do love some good, like NFL, like hand painted,

like memorabilia. The NFL does not know about this. They haven't paid their licensing fee. No, they just paint. Like they just give it their best shot to paint a Baltimore Raven on a surfboard. Like you want this?

Like, is that the Raven? Barely. Yeah. Some of the artwork is pretty funny. I understand like you, that is supposed to be the Raven, but like, I don't know. Yeah. It's funny.

I don't even know if you can like get in trouble for licensing that or not licensing it because it's not that close. It's so far away. Yeah. Some of them are easy. Like they figured out the star and the Cowboys, but we had some old Redskins memorabilia and that was a little harder to draw. Okay.

And there are multiple reasons why it's not selling, I think. Yeah. But so he had bought a shirt and a cowboy hat. And then I think he had bought Angie a massage. Like here, go do this massage on the beach. On the beach. Yeah. They're right there.

I mean, yeah. 15 feet from the water. They will massage you. I remember. Yeah. Studying abroad and in Spain, they would try to do that. And they would just come up to you. Did they do that to you?

Like literally start massaging you and be like, they would try to do that. And they would just come up to you. Did they do that to you? Like literally start massaging you and be like, do you like this? Do you want some more? They grabbed my mom's arm and they're like, it's a test. It's a test. It's a test. It's a sample. Your mom's like, you failed.

Get out of here. My mom was like, it did feel pretty good. She said, it's really oily. But so he had bought that. I don't remember the exact order of it, but I think he, so then he bought a massage. I think he had bought one more hat for somebody, for Tommy or something. He's up to two hats, shirt and a massage. Oh, Tommy will love this hat. And then he, he, I remember specifically coming to us like, all right, that's it. I've done what I need to do. Oh, he bought a

bracelet for Lucy. Oh. And so I think after that it was, it was like, all right, I got what I need. I got something for Lucy. I've got my checklist. Yeah. I'm done. Okay. Then some guy comes walking around selling coconuts with a straw. And he's like, well, when do you get an opportunity to buy that?

You don't understand, guys. I am from Iowa. I don't know if you know Iowa very well. No coconuts there. No coconut trees. So, of course, he buys the coconut. He's drinking. He's like, wow, that does not taste good. Who wants some? Wow, that's warm. See, he's not much of a salesman.

That is room temperature. If anything warmer. Anybody want some? Yeah. The heat is insulated inside of the coconut, so it doesn't taste as good. He had got done drinking all of it. And then one of the locals had taught him how to make a spoon outside of the coconut, like a scraper almost. And you can eat the interior, like the actual coconut. Sure. And then he's going, oh, that's worse than the water is. You got to try this.

Rachel, of course, is like, I want to try it. Curiosity. And she's like, that actually is so bad. And my dad's like, how bad can it be? I'll get it on. And my dad eats it and says that's what he said said it was like he ate a loogie. He said it was the consistency and the taste of just eating somebody else's snot. The consistency, I would have thought it would be dry by this point. It was the interior of it. So yeah, I don't know. It was just mushy.

And anyway, so I mean, they're about to be throw up. They're like, I can't believe what we ate this. Steve Coop finishes the whole coconut, you know, just going like, man, I thought this would taste better. Shoveling away. He, man, I thought this would taste better. Shoveling away. He's like, I paid for this thing. I got to see it through. Then someone walks by on the beach. I've never seen this before.

And I guarantee you they've never seen someone chase after them before. A guy walks by with a big old 10-foot-long pole in the air selling cotton candy. Steve Coop gets out of his chair and goes and chases him down. Him and Rachel both go chase him down, buy cotton candy. There was nothing he wouldn't buy. We're going, Steve, you don't have to like support the GDP of all of Honduras. He's boosting the economy of Honduras. Yeah. Single handedly. Yeah. Oh yeah. We, afterwards we were giving up such a hard time about like, you know, first we're like, you, you should get a picture and everything you bought today. And they're like, actually you should get a picture from get a picture with all 14 salesmen that you bought things from.

They will pay for your next cruise, probably, just for you to come down here. Where is the gringo, Mr. Steve? Come on, Mr. Steve. Where is Mr. Steve? We have never seen anyone like you. Hey, Mr. Steve! They're going around telling their friends,

I met the richest man in America. I think that was Jeff Bezos. Yeah, kind of has a small resemblance if you if you squint yeah bald and uh jacked yeah super jacked i don't know maybe steve's more jacked than bezos the people of roton honduras might think he is a billionaire that's amazing but it was so funny he's like they look like they needed it like of course they do do you think they talk third world country? Do you think they're like, Hey, around the corner, you know, mile mark or whatever kilometer marker 14, that guy, we got a sucker. I think that woman's about halfway to a massage. So keep going on her and yeah. So whatever you want to this guy, they do a good job. So I went and they have some other things you could do there. They had like jet skiing and fly boarding that they get did in

Maui one time where you come up out of the Green Lantern. And I was like, oh, I got to do that. I didn't really tell anyone else. I told Rachel and my mom, I think, came down to like watch it. Well, they went and found my dad and said like, hey, I think it's your son. He's doing the fly boarding right now. And I don't even know how they piece that together. Maybe they saw us sitting next to each other at some point or just the resemblance. Like that's pretty cool. And then they even like, I think they went up to my sister, like, Hey, uh, someone in your party is like flyboarding right now. They do a good job of like, they want, they're like analyzing, but are they saying like,

Hey, if you want to come flyboard with him, is that where you're saying? Maybe that's eventually what they're trying to do is like, you could do this too. But I was very impressed that they paid good attention to like who's together and who have I talked to before? Clifford. Clifford looked a ton. I mean, he was Honduran, but he was the Honduran version of the old man from Mulan who's got the long white beard and like kind of the teeth that go. Folly. I don't remember his name, but the old guy in Mulan. Clifford looked like him. He was my salesman. He was great. I'm going to look up most common Honduran names and I'll give you a thousand dollars if Clifford's on the list. All right.

I didn't really even think about that. What if, dude? What if Clifford just like the big red dog just made a wave? The president. Yeah. Clifford Rodriguez. Maria Jose Santos Juan Carlos Luis Rosa.

No, I'm just kidding. Anna, Oscar, Jorge. About what we expected. Clifford, not on the top 100. I'm starting to think that might not be his name. Oh, wow. No, this is the top. Holy cow.

1000. I met the only Clifford in Honduras. Ever heard of the name Nury? N-U-R-Y? No. Well, it's down there. Seven percent? I don't even know what that means, but anyway.

Anyway, so that was fun. And of course, that wasn't the only time he bought stuff. One of the other excursion days, we had about 30 minutes left before we got dropped back off the boat. And there's this whole strip of... There's just one street where a ton of people are selling stuff's like this whole like strip of there's just one street where a ton of people selling stuff and i was like well what do you think steve you want to go get harassed and he's like yeah let's do it and so we just walked up and down and let people

just bark at us and sell to us and did he ever barter with them i guess he did the two for one deal if anything he he bartered up i saw him do that one time he's like no there's no way that it's that cheap they're like oh did i say seven I say seven? I'm in 70. Yeah. Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah. That day before that on the beach, someone had come up selling sunglasses. He's like, oh, you know, I probably should. And how much are you selling those for? And I think they were like 20, but for you, I could do 15.

And so he gives them the $20 bill, and they went to give him five back. And he's like, no, no, no, that's for you. He's like, I hope you made some money off that. And that and then the guy goes actually i don't make any money off the sunglasses i make money off of the boxes and he goes the boxes and so we're like what are these boxes so he pulls out he's got one like large size almost like i don't know chessboard size size box and then one like tiny one that could fit maybe a razor in it okay he's like try to open the box and it's just it's a it's a yeah it. Okay. He's like, try to open the box.

And it's just, it's a, it's a, yeah, it's a box. It's a cube. It's a cigar box. I don't know, something like to hold stuff in. Yeah. And it just, it's all wood and it's just, but it's sealed everywhere. There's not a lid. There's not a drawer.

Okay. It's just like a sealed box. And he's like, you know, can you figure out the trick? And it's like this fun way of figuring out how to open a box. And then. I have a, I have a guess before you tell us. Okay go ahead ready uh magnet no magnet dang it's all uh analog just all wood just different ways he cut the wood so one of them was like even cooler yeah it was actually pretty sweet one of them was very thorough and uh i don't know what's the word

i'm like complicated ornate. Yes. But then there was a smaller one that was just like, you have to actually hold these two diagonals and then it just yanks out. You just got to know which pieces of the wood to touch. So it's pretty cool. So of course Steve bought one of the boxes. Lucy would love that. Yeah. And, uh, then I think that day when we went and got harassed, he bought one more hat. He bought, someone was selling two beers for $3. And I don't think we're even in the mood for beer, but he's like, two beers for $3? It can't be any worse than that coconut.

Stephen up buying one beer for $4. He's like, I can't do this for $2. Here you go. I'll pay you two and I'll give you a dollar tip and you a dollar tip or whatever. I love it. Yeah. Good for him. He just boosted GDP wherever he goes. Yeah.

That's amazing. I'm trying to think if he bought anything else. And then I think the last day he bought two more hats. So when we flew home, Rachel wore a hat. He had one hat in his bag and then he wore three hats. I have pictures of him in the airport. I mean, like, I actually sat next to him on the airplane. He wore three cowboy hats.

Unironically, just like, yeah, that's the easiest way to get them on. It's a hack in the system. You've seen, like, those people that, like, have those vests that, like, you can carry all those things in. Oh, yeah. And so you don't have an extra carry-on or whatever. Like, that's him being like, you know, they don't tell you how many hats you can wear onto the plane. Like, oh, what's underneath them? Nothing.

It's just hats. It's just more hats? More hats for your vacation. Oh, my gosh. So, okay, Rachel is famously like Steve Koop 2.0, woman form, whatever you want to call it. Yeah. Did she have similar tendencies?

It sounds like she was also running after the cotton candy she really wanted the cotton candy she thought that sounded fun uh but no i don't think so i don't know if she has the like crazy spending yeah uh at least not yet anyway yeah but she'll she'll get there i love it man but it was fun i i bought one thing i bought a pair of ray bandsBans for only $20. And he said they were legit, so I trusted him. They say Ray-Ban. No one's going to question you. Yeah. The sticker was on there.

It can't be easy to just print off a sticker and put it on sunglasses. No, stickers are hard, dude. Stickers are hard. So I bought those. You need a sticker printer, and that's tough to buy these days. You can only buy them online. Good luck. You're on an island.

Yeah. How much internet do they have in Honduras? So I bought official Ray-Bans for $20 and then on my way out the guy offered me some cocaína as well. So it wasn't just the sunglasses I guess that they sell there. Very good. That's where they make their real money. He's like, I don't make

any money on the Ray-Bans but I make a lot of money on the coca. See what's in this box. Oh, hey, okay. Make you go real fast. So I did not buy that no that's good i thought about i was like well could i turn a profit on this oh yeah i couldn't so i said no you're a businessman you're like what how much better would these acai bowls be if you mix a little bit of this in there it's a little kick to them that's so that's that's how shelter sheltered and ignorant I am about drogas.

Can you mix cocaine and stuff? Or is it something that just has... You know how you can do that with brownies? With pot and stuff. Pot brownies or whatever. Can you mix that? Is it like a collagen?

Collagen peptides? It's a mix-in. It's like protein, collagen, bee pollen. A little cocaine. Yeah. A little Coca-Cola. That's why we do it out of the truck. It's a little less off the beaten path.

Just in case you see the 5-0 coming, it's like, all right. I'll hide it. Rip the generator. Let's go. Let's get out of here. Oh, man. Anyway, I could chat, play more about the cruise. What have you been up to?

Yeah. Honestly, man. Anyway, I get chat play more about the cruise. What have you been up to? Yeah, not honestly, not a whole lot. I nearly passed out the other day. So that was fun. I Isaac thought he was going to yesterday. I want to hear your version. I went on a walk down down 55th Street. We're calling to the three. The three red signs is what what it's called. That's what I'm calling with the kids to try to have a little branding for it for them. Basically it's just a dead end. That's probably two miles down the road and then two miles back. And there's like some pretty gnarly Hills. Okay. And I thought it would be a good idea, like make it a little push myself a little bit to do it a 2 PM when it's 95 degrees be at with, with my kids, two kids. So I was pushing Bo and Rosie in the stroller.

And it was one of those times where it was like, this is fun. I need to like acknowledge Bo like, but man, like Rosie, if you go to walk, she loves going on in the stroller and walks. And it's just like, she just takes it all in and just as quiet the whole time. I can listen to a podcast. No problem. That's great. Bo is at the stage where he talks every five seconds right now, especially in the walk for he's taking it all in. Rachel's kind of at that stage right now.

Really? Yeah. Super curious. Honestly, they would love each other in this because I mean, every single street sign, what's that? What's no parking. What's, what's that mean? Dad, can I, do I have permission to read that address on the mailbox? I'm like, sure, buddy. Like, I mean, why is this driveway connected to the sidewalk? Why, why is that wheel there? Oh, I feel bad for that tree. It's kind of sideways, you know, like, and if he doesn't get a response, then he'll just keep saying it. Okay. Like that's always been Bo is like, he'll always say it over and over again. That's the most exhausting part. probably, of the whole walk. It's exhausting.

He's looking the other way. He's talking like this. Oh, jeez. What do the trees? And I'm like, what? You have to talk louder. And so I'm huffing and puffing up these hills, dying. And then I'll have to take a stop every once in a while.

And he's like, Dad, it says no parking here. You're not supposed to stop. And I'm like, buddy, just trust me. You don't know. And I didn't have enough water earlier. So literally like he had a little bit of, I brought his water bottle. Cause I thought that was smart. And so I took like an ice cube out of his water bottle.

And it was like that, that like juxtaposition, I think that's the right word. But like, I was really hot. I had a little bit of cold ice and all of a sudden I was like, Whoa, like my body was like shocked. All of a sudden it was like, and I started like feeling like, Oh, this is happening. Oh, that's scary. I need to go to the shade. Yeah. And so texted Catherine. I was like, FYI. She's like, she's like, I hope you guys are doing okay in the heat. I was like, well, just stop for a little bit. Maybe not. She's like, do you want me to come get you? I was like, I know my limits. I can make it it but keep going to sit in the truck but

but she had she felt she was like i'm gonna go ahead and get in the car just in case yeah and then like we walked for another 10 minutes and i felt bad again and i was like you gotta come get us i'm sorry i was like and i was close i was like by the elementary school like that was not very far and that's like the easy part of the walk and i was was like, I can't, I can't do it. Like it's over. So, um, nearly passed out. Bo and Rosie had no idea, you know, Bo was just concerned about us parking there and getting a ticket. But, uh, yeah, that happened. I mean, but it's been a, it's been a chill week without you. I just noticed that we hadn't texted one-on-one in 11 days, July 5th to July 16th. Now.

Wow. That crazy. That was a long time. Yeah. So basically the whole time you've been gone and then some, and then a little more. Um, and so, yeah, just been, I did some woodworking, uh, made a few things for my aunt actually, which was fun. Um, and then talk about that more a little bit later, but yeah.

Um, we thought we were going to pass out yesterday because we, we were all out of long form content for Friday pickleball. So we needed to shoot something pretty much as soon as I got back. And so I organized the shoot time. It's out of town, figure all out till that while I was on the cruise. And then we realized Scott was thankfully like, Hey, just a heads up Monday. The heated X was like one 10. It's like the hottest day of the year.

Yeah. Yes. And so I was like, Oh my gosh, I didn't realize that. Let's book an indoor court. We book one and I didn't realize, yes, it's indoors, but it's not air conditioned. It's just like a barn situation. Yeah. And so, I mean, it's basically just as hot.

I mean, there's a fan overhead, but it's very hot. It's like that air is just like stuck in there. On top of that, one of the videos we were doing yesterday Was playing pickleball in inflatable suits And just postpone that one I know but we we needed to film something like a sumo suit Uh, not a sumo suit like a a blow-up suit. Okay. Hey, yeah Um, and that's I was like, well the fan might be nice, dude It was actually it was like scary

It's like we need to finish this video now because just like the amount of sweat was coming out of the bottom of our suit Yeah. And that's, I was like, well, the fan might be nice, dude. It was actually, it was like scary. It was like, we need to finish this video now. Cause just like the amount of sweat was coming out of the bottom of our suit. Like it was coming down our legs. What did the suits look like? Did you use the chicken suit? I completely forgot that we even had those spot for new ones. So Scott was the bald Eagle.

We had the, like the giant T-Rex dinosaur. Gotta have that. I was like a humongous unicorn. And then Isaac was a kind of a shark. Dude. It was awesome. I love the idea of like Isaac being like, what was that? So Isaac was a shark.

Isaac's in the shark, like bent over. Like, dude, I don't know. I need a break. And you're, what were you in? I was the unicorn. You're the unicorn costume being like, bro, we got to do this now. Like, like this, like super serious, like struggling moment. But you guys are in these ridiculous costumes. That is so funny to me. I haven't, that's funnier to me than a video that you like, whatever video you posted, just, you should have done the bat behind the scenes. Like, dude, I don't know if we can do

this anymore. Like, dude, we have to do this. You told me like, I know this is hard, but this is what we signed up for. Like you guys are back and forth. And Scott's like trying to mediate in the dinosaur. Like, come on guys. Don't fight. It's not that much longer. Come on. You guys have been friends too long to go down like this. Just like crumpling. Oh, that is so funny. It did seem like, yeah, us playing pickleball was not even the most entertaining part. Like bending over to get the ball was one of the funniest parts. I fell over one time and the horn of my

unicorn kept like hitting Isaac's crotch and I didn't know it. He can't feel it. Scott's crying, laughing, and we don't know why. Who was your fourth? One of my friends, another pickleball player in town, Griffin. He came and joined us. Nice. So yeah, Isaac was like, hey, we need to be done.

I'm getting lightheaded. Really? And it was like, yeah, I was getting dangerous how much sweat we lost. Yeah, dude, it's crazy. It was fun. After we got done, I've never had anything like this happen to me before. It felt like I texted Rachel afterwards and I said, it seemed like I just got done with a comedy show because it was like I had a meet and greet afterwards.

Like Scott and Isaac left. I was there by myself just packing everything up. And then one person recognizes me and then we get talking. Another person recognized me from church. So then we get talking. I finally start packing up. I leave. The guy who holds the door open for me goes, do you make golf videos? I said, yeah, I do. I mean, this is three people in a row. Then I get out to my car as I'm walking out there. Some guy named Bobby is like, dude, I've never commented on anything. And I comment on Friday pickleball videos. I'm like, no way. And so, I mean, this just kept at price six unique people in a row back to back and not all pickleball. And then of course, Scott had just loaded me up with, I don't know if we've mentioned this

podcast before, but all of the returns to our house, to the business, go to Scott's garage. And so we always have a ton of like used paddles on hand and scott had just given me like 20 25 paddles before he left and about an hour later i text scott say how many paddles you give me whatever that amount is is how many i no longer have because it was just like well oh you're such a big guy here take some paddles and then word kind of got around to the point where i got knocked on my window as i was about to leave and my car is like hey are you the guy giving out free paddles? And I was like,

yeah, yeah, take some. Yeah, sure. Yeah. Why not? So it was a fun little time yesterday.

Real sweaty. It's a fun feeling to like, I mean, it's one, it's, it's just a fun thing to know people. It's, it's one thing if they don't know you and like,

it's fun to talk to them. Like that's really fun, but it's really fun when it's like, you just feel like you're in a small town, like growing up. Do you feel like everywhere you went, you knew somebody, you know? And you were from small town. So I'm sure you felt that even more, but like, I felt that way even because it's not like we went that many places. And so like, therefore, yeah, I go to a big enough school or yeah, I see somebody I know everywhere I go.

And it's so fun. And I don't have that feeling as much anymore. But when you, when you do have like compounded on each other, it's like, this is great's up dude hey how's it going you know yeah so i really think my i woke up today my throat was really sore i'm like is this because i talked to people too long after pickleball last night it's probably related to much other things but yeah not sleeping much and yada yada but um yeah that was really fun uh before the cruise started, kind of a fun, I don't know, I guess just precursor to the trip. We were all staying in the same hotel and they were all going to shuttle to the port the next day. We get to the hotel in the lobby and you could have never predicted this, never planned this. At first, we thought it was a furry convention because that's what we saw

we're like oh my gosh okay can we take a step back i kind of get what furries are but not really and let's let's keep it g because i think there's a little bit of pg is it not i don't i don't even know if i fully know then okay great it's just people that dress up like animals yeah okay like a lot of a lot of cats like wolves and stuff okay and yeah usually they like have the ears on they have tails sometimes they have like a full on like mascot head on so that's what you saw when you walked into this lobby yeah caitlin got there first and texted us and said i think the hotel we're staying at is having a furry convention like oh my gosh keep uncle john away from him i don't know what's gonna happen yeah so you just

have to meow into your phone john and then it'll know that's how you get into the convention center oh it was a great start to the trip because we're all hanging out we haven't seen each other in a while so we're all hanging out in the lobbying but everyone either one of them there was a convention so it wasn't furries but it was a anime cosplay convention okay something like that so it's a lot of it's so adjacent yeah it's a ton of just adults dressing up yeah like really elaborate like weird characters yeah and it's anime so you don't recognize any of them or at least i don't you know it's not like there's mario oh yeah there's naruto yeah. It's like, oh, there's another evil princess that I don't know. Oh, there's another person with a big sword.

So they were just all over us. They had a big sign in the lobby on an easel that said, oh, shoot, what did it say? Cosplay is not consent or something like that. So apparently they've had some issues in the past. Like, hey, just because your characters are married in the show or in the book you can't touch them it's like we need that sign in there yes we do yeah i'm sure they don't know if you don't put the sign up they will go nuts they're like animals they are just wild beasts okay so yeah So, yeah, it was just... Just any time you'd get in an elevator

with one or with like... Yeah, my uncle John, I'm like, please don't say anything. Please don't say anything. Because he's the most likely one to say something? Steve, come on. No, I don't think anyone is likely to say anything when they're in the elevator with you.

But the second they leave the elevator, you're like... 100%. They can't not. 100%. If you're 50 and older and you're around someone like that, you have to say something about it. The second they're out of your sight.

Yeah, that's fair. I think that's very fair. Cause it's, I would say something I'd make sure you're like, not just like the elevator door. Hasn't just shut. It has to like be going up another floor.

Like we're for sure gone. Like you're still in earshot, even though the doors are closed, Steve. All right. Don't say anything yet. Oh, my gosh. I could just hear your dad being like,

now why was he in a feline costume? Yeah, just so I'm walking by. Now, what was that character? Now, what show would that be in? Holy cow. That's so wild. It was just pretty funny. You could just imagine all of us just,

we were the only people in the entire lobby not in costume because it's a big lobby. They also had some sort of like prom or dance or something. Okay. So I had to go peek in there every now and then to see what they were up to. Didn't join. So just how much are they just like talking like normal,

like having a normal conversation in their costumes versus like acting like their characters in your observation. They seem like just act completely normal. Okay. While in these costumes. And I got to say, they were all over. There were hundreds of them. Very quiet, very respect.

It wasn't like really annoying and really loud. I know this guy's doing some Dragon Ball Z move. You know, they were just doing their thing and really talking at tables. Okay. So breaking the stereotypes. Yeah. Very respectful and normal, but just, yeah, yeah you couldn't it was hard not to stare you just ride the elevator the guy his face is painted red with horns like i gotta look i mean

you want me to right you want me to look right you're asking no one no one wears that and just is like i bet they won't notice anyone different than me i usually say to them you want me to look right you want me to stare at you because of that thing. You know what I'm, you know, I'm staring at, right. You're black. You care if I look, you're different than me. You're different, right? Visually. I'm from Stratford. It's, it's just kind of look. Yeah. Do you mind? All right. Okay. Thank you. Mahalo. Mahalo. Mahalo. Uh, so So yeah, it was a great start, but it was fine. We had a ton of fun. And then that first day of the cruise,

so John had just made noise back into his phone. And this was also the day when the hurricane barrel was like decently close to us. Yeah. What does that mean for a ship, like a cruise, with the hurricane going on? Yeah, so I paid for the internet package on the trip because I had work to do every day. So I was always checking, and I was like, I mean, it seems like a couple hundred miles away still.

Like maybe we won't even feel it. I don't know. And that first day, we definitely felt it. I talked to multiple people who were like, I cruise for once a year for 15 years. I've never seen them put the barf bags out. So they were putting bags on every staircase, just like, if you need them, here's a bag to take. Anybody? It wasn't.

I heard murmurs of, oh, some people had some issues. But no one in our crew. Everyone was fine. No one got sick. Did you ever get rocked back and forth pretty violently? no never enough to like throw you into a wall or something but just enough like maybe have to take an extra step like oh that was kind of i felt it i really felt it there kind of like when you think the subway is like almost stopped and then oh guess not a little more a little extra force okay so it was just a lot of just like very slow just like moving just like a

lot of wind and waves and okay honestly i did even it'd been so long since i've been on a cruise i was like maybe i just forgot this is what cruises are like yeah and then yeah the next six days were extremely calm i was like oh this is nice yeah that is what i had forgot is how it just it feels like you're on land the whole time it's awesome yeah it's they've really figured it out we were also on like a massive massive boat it's called harmony of of the Seas. And it was like, anytime we go to a port, we were like looking down at the other boats.

That was kind of cool. Yeah. Sorry, the other like cruises. Oh, yeah, I understand. Yeah, yeah. Bigger than the other cruises. You're like, nice try, Carnival. Two waterslides?

One flow rider? What's a flow rider? Is that the surfboard thing? That's like the fake wave thing. Yeah, yeah yeah had two of those what was the best excursion or not excursion best thing on the ship oh the toilet bowl um that's what we named it it was uh this dude if there's one thing you would have loved more than anything else it would have been this this is so up your alley dude oh and you would have been great at it now i'm thinking all right the okay so there is there's one dry slide okay that you just go down your

clothes but then there's three water slides um and one of them it's like it's a water slide you're going fast you're going around and eventually you build up enough speed to then it spits you out into this bowl and you kind of like go around and circles around this bowl and then there's kind of an exit hole in the middle. Kind of like a vortex thing. Yeah. Yeah. And so, you know, you go down there your first time.

You think that was kind of fun. And then you start to realize, like, I wonder how many times I could get around. And so then that's what we all started doing. So I think we'd only, oh, I know what it was. I, what did I do? That first day, I went to go grab lunch or something and then i met back up with everyone and i was like what you guys been doing and uncle john and steve coop

had already ridden the water slide so they were just such kids they wrote it right away and they were telling us about the toilet bowl so the line was so long but uh on like the fifth day or something that we stopped in cozumel which is a really popular like excursion place, port city. It's where everyone is like basically left the boat. Well, I'd done excursion the last two days. I was like, I'm going to stay on. I want to hang out. I almost didn't realize you were allowed to stay on, which is silly, I guess. But yeah. And it was awesome. So we have the cruise to ourself. It felt like, I mean, no one's anywhere. There was only four of us on the whole pickleball courts. Like just you can go anywhere. No one's in the elevators.

And so it was, it started with me, my dad and Paul Shira. And we wrote down the toilet bowl together. Okay. And so we're like, all right, that was kind of fun. Together,

together. Oh, sorry. Sorry. Just like go up together one at a time. Didn't know if it was like you could, yeah, you could get a whole banana boat going.

Oh, we wanted to, we talked about it. We talked about it. We talked about it. So we do that. And then we, that was our first time all riding it. So they're like,

all right, I think let me try some new things the next time to try and get more revolutions around. And we go down the second time and it was fun. We go around a little bit longer and we kind of feel like, all right, that's fun. Let's go,

like go hop in the pool. And my dad had mentioned, you know, I feel like I went around more that time. Cause I put more of my weight on my heel and I got kind of feel like, all right, that's fun. Let's go hop in the pool. And my dad had mentioned, you know, I feel like I went around more that time because I put more of my weight on my heel, and I got kind of my butt off the ground a little bit. So we kind of talk, and we go in the pool. Can I ask, are you guys like,

is there a tube or anything with you, or is it just straight? Just body. Just body going down. Good. And so when they were talking, and my mom's there, and Shira's wife is there, and we're in the middle of having a good conversation,

and then Paul Shira goes, I got to try one more time. I got to try that heel method one more time. So he goes back up like, well, if you're going, I'll go again. And then this starts just the beginning of just like the race to go four times around. Basically, it was like the space race, just like who could do it first because there's no line. So we're just going over and over and over. Well, then Uncle John Fulbright comes out and he starts joining us. His wife, Angie, she's joining us. Paul's wife, everyone's trying.

Are you able to see the bull when you're like watching? So if you're up above, you can see it. So you're watching down. And it was just so funny because we're all trying different methods of like what to do. So there was like, I think a given is like least amount of friction as possible. So you want to go shoulder blades and heels. Okay. If you can

do that and arch your back, you can get going pretty fast. Yeah. So we do that. Um, then we realized take your shirt off. You go faster. Okay. Um, the shirt will slow you down a little bit. Um, we're all just like shared secrets of what we're doing. Yeah. And then it really got experimental. I have a video. I don't know how much it'll show up, but I'll have time and put it in here. I was recording one time from up above, from the side,

and Paul Shira had chosen a technique where you pull your shorts up like this so there's less drag at the bottom of your shorts. So he's going down the water slide just yanking on the top of his shorts, just stiff as a board. Looks so funny. There are other things where right before we'd go down, we would spray sunscreen just on our shoulder blades

and try to like grease ourselves up. Paul went up the entire water slide with sunscreen still on his hands. That way he could grease up his heels right before he went down. We did that. There was one time John came down the slide and he goes, oh gosh, my sunglasses were in my pocket.

They're not in there anymore. I don't know where they're at. They must have came out. And so, first of all, it's hilarious because they had to shut the whole slide down for John's sunglasses. Second of all, I was like, how did they fall out of your pocket? He's like, well, I went European style. I said, what's European style?

He said, oh, I rolled my shorts all the way up to a speedo. I had gone before him, so I didn't know he did that. So that was one of his techniques. It's like, I'm just going to wear almost nothing. Yeah. As little as you can roll it up.

And then my gosh. So yeah, we just like everything was an option. Just like how many times can you go around this? So the idea is more how fast you're going before you get to the toilet bowl. Then it is like once you get to the toilet bowl, then you really crank the technique up. Yeah, because once you get to the toilet bowl,

you're just slowly losing speed. So you just got to build it going in. Oh, it was so fun. It was so fun because he just went over and over and over. And I felt bad. Steve Koop was in Cozumel, so he missed it. He would have loved it. He was buying six hats, though.

I think that's when he bought his last two hats that day. So yeah, you would have loved it. You're right. I would have been all about that. I would have found different ways. Do you go backwards ever? They won't let you go backwards. Yeah, but once you are on it, could you just

turn around? No, you'd lose way too much speed trying to turn around. Okay. You, um, at first you would, they wouldn't let you pull yourself down. And then we started going enough and they're like,

all right, do whatever. Yeah. You got to turn then. I mean, my dad was like fully standing and was basically like diving into the thing. Like bobsledding into this. Yes.

The one. That's amazing. Yeah. So we we i just had so much fun um that was that was the funnest day of the day of the cruise just sounds great going down a water slide with like 60 year olds just probably like 14 times in a row just seeing who could go around the most times so water slides are one of life's like simplest joys. Yeah. Like some of my best memories as a kid were just going down water slides, like especially my grandma, like in Dodge city back in the day, there was an amazing water slide and it was like, we were the only people that still knew it existed or something.

And I, yeah, it was just like, it was how fast could you get up to the top? That's all you had to wait for. It was just walking back and it's so fun it made me want to go to like and try and find like a resort that's like for adults but still has all that stuff there's got to be because i don't care about the alcohol i think that's why you do an all-inclusive is to take advantage of the alcohol it's like i want an all-inclusive

that's like just trampolines and yeah laser tag and water slides but i don't want that many people to be there and no kids either so kids yeah it just does so yeah that was really fun on this slide day that's awesome it was a blast uh let's do a few ads real quick before time gets away from us here huh oh my gosh yeah Sorry. Good call. Hey, I just went to give.healingwaters.org Jake. Right now we are $5,695 has been donated to our $10,000 goal. That's like a thousand more than yesterday. Yeah. Isn't that amazing? We're, we are on track ghosties. It's, it's so encouraging. I actually just had a call with the Healing Waters guy, Mark, yesterday, and he's like, I had him kind of break down. I was like, do you mind just like telling me,

is that one person that donated like four grand and then a couple other people? And he's like, no, it's like so many small, not small, so many like normal donations that like are affordable. People are just giving what they can. And there's been a few bigger ones, but then a lot of small ones. I think there's been 60 some people that have donated so far. So it's just so encouraging and so cool to see. So if you haven't heard yet, this is our third week now of doing this fundraiser with healing waters international, where we are fundraising towards bringing better cleaning water to Chiapas, Mexico. Um, and you guys are doing a great job with it. Um, a one-time gift of $30 provides a child with safe drinking water for

an entire year, $150 would provide an entire family with safe drinking water for a year. $750 provides five families with safe drinking water for a year. So just a really cool, tangible way to be like, I can make a true difference in somebody's life here, uh, through healing waters international. Yep. There is, uh, almost 2 billion people, uh, have to rely on unsafe drinking water across the world. Um, and so it's, uh, it's obviously a big issue. Water is one of the easiest things to give someone. It's one of the most important things to give someone. So, uh, let's keep ramping it up, keep ramping it up. I can't wait to hit this goal early. And then we see what we can do next. Honestly ramping it up. I can't wait to hit this goal early

and then we see what we can do next, honestly. I know, because they were saying that through October, Ministry Partners in Christ will match it up to 10,000. Matching it up to 10,000. Might hit that in like two weeks or something. Let's see if we can find another match. This is so cool. I mean, it's just so encouraging

to see the ghosties coming together to support this community. So yeah, thanks. Keep giving. I still need to give. You know what? I'm going to do it today. Somebody do it with me. I'm together to support this community. So yeah. Thanks. Keep giving. I still need to give, you know, I'm going to do it today. Somebody do it with me. I'm going to do it today. Okay.

what did he make up this time going to wisconsin yeah that's not even a real place yeah you gotta you gotta think of something better than that good try um. Um, had a little bit of a fun, I don't know. I feel like it's one of those like core memory things that happened yesterday. Maybe, I don't know. I'm going to have some fun times with my kids, but yesterday we mentioned that it was really, really hot. You were passing out in unicorn suits. So hot. Um, so the kids, you know, Catherine did the classic like Midwest mom thing. Hey, let's put a sprinkler out and just have them run through the sprinkler. And it was one of those sprinklers that kind of just like rotates a little bit back and forth a little bit of like

a semi-circle kind of thing. And they have this huge Spider-Man beach ball thing that Bo got for his birthday. And I made up this game called sprinkler ball and it's like soccer. Uh, but the net is the sprinkler. so right the whole there's no boundaries everyone has the same net just kick the ball over the water just kick it yeah have it hit the water in some sort and that's great for kids too the goal is humongous the goal is humongous yeah and it was so fun like hattie and beau it was classic like beau was just in his undies you know classic hattie was in like a cind, you know, just like soaking wet from, and you know, Bo would like play defense, but if it was too far away, he would just run through

the sprinkler and then run to Hattie, you know? And I mean, at the end of it, like Bo has, you know, those like kind of like cuts from grass. Oh yeah. Oh, just all over him. Like just smiling, like so much grass. Cause we just had our mowers come that day. I mean, he's having

a blast dude it was just like one of those times eventually rosie didn't love it and so i was just sitting with rosie holding her in my lap just watching them running around the yard laughing hilariously it was just one of those like classic like this is amazing this is so fun this is what it's awesome it'd be hard to get work done if that's happening in your house. Oh, a hundred percent. Yeah, it was, it was one of those. And if that was the,

probably the cherry on top was like, it was while Henry was trying to sleep, Catherine was trying to make, you know, good ranchers chicken for dinner. And so I was like, this is three birds, one stone,

just hang out here. Three birds, one big beach ball. That's pretty fun. Sprinkler ball was awesome. I'd like to come over and play sprinkler ball sometime. I think it'd be fun to play as an adult too like yeah other adults you could figure out yeah just the hacks to it and all right let's do two goalies right or two or two goal or four goals have four sprinklers yeah more balls more balls yeah you could put it's unlimited

yeah so anyway it was a it was a great time sprinkler ball with the kids that's fun i have a couple non uh-related things I wanted to mention real quick. I forget the name of the person, but thank you to whoever tried to start some sort of GoFundMe for me for a generator. That happened? Did you see that on the Facebook page? Uh-uh.

A true one? It was like 11 a.m. on the 4th of July, and they were like hey everyone this is jake's finmo let's get him a new generator and i was like please this is really nice of you you squashed it but play i didn't delete the post or anything but i just commented like this is really nice but like give healing waters.org slash ghost runners yeah don't yeah just there's a lot more to what's going on don't give me a generator. Not on the 4th of July. Not on 11 a.m.

This is really nice. This is really, really nice. Why 4th of July? Go hang out. This isn't right. You can't do it on this day. Spend some time with your family. Shoot off fireworks. It felt like a weird time to start a GoFundMe for a generator.

It's like, go hang out or something. I'm about to go hang out. That's funny. But that was very nice of out or something. I'm about to go hang out. That's funny. But that was very nice of whoever you are. I can't remember your name. You want to talk about 4th of July a little bit? Sure. We had some fun together.

Oh, yeah. One of those times where we're at the same party, but don't talk. Truly. I don't know if I talked to you at all. You would think like if someone saw like outside looking in, like, wow, you and Jake don't text each other. You don't talk to each other at parties.

Like that's why I said one time, like timing, do you ever think like Jake and I don't really like each other? What if like we just get in here and we just like look at our screens, like trying to figure out what we're going to talk about, you know, whatever. Anyway, but we had fun earlier that day together. You brought over that sprinkler thing. Oh yeah. There's some wild science going on

there. Yeah. Yeah. Rachel bought this thing for your kids just for fun, I guess. Yeah. It was like, it just basically shoots up water. It's like this little snail that shoots something out of the top of it and it shoots up water and you can just put these wiffle balls on top of it. And the wiffle ball just stays there like a tea, like an aqua tea or or something and you look at it and it looks cheap and just like there's no way this is going to work also the the the whatever the water jet is a pretty narrow stream of water it doesn't like it's not like it's yeah like it would come out of a a classic dasani what do you mean just like a like a normal bottle that's the size of it or whatever yeah that's the radius of this yeah or like return your like hose thing to jet it looked like that it's like well ball can't

balance on the jet right and it can and it can by just pushing up the side of the ball and then the ball spins and so the ball is floating in the air but there's nothing underneath the ball the water should touch the side of it it's wild of course, Brad made an Amazon review video. Oh, 100%. Instantly. Oh, and it was like, yeah, it was like indefinite. Like it could stay up there for an hour. It was wild. Jake couldn't believe it.

Jake was like, this is magic. I was sitting down. I think I was maybe like sitting there with Rosie or something. And once I saw that ball up there, I was like, I gotta go check this out. I gotta get closer to this. Sprinkler ball was a huge hit. But if it weren't, I was going to bring out the snail and put the beach ball on top of it

and see what would happen with that. That would be fun. That ball gets spinning. It would get spinning and you could smash it with that bat. Yeah. Yeah, that was fun. That was a fun day.

That was a good time. And then we went to the lake house. I talked about it with Catherine a little bit, but I want to hear from your vantage point what you thought of 4th of July. It was a fun day. Yeah, we went to like a... They call it a lake house.

It's like a pond house. Yeah, it's like a big pond. Calvin and Molly Beck, friends of ours, they have the Continue Good... Oh, yeah, show them out. Candle Company. Yeah, here they are. Shout out, Continue Good.

Not a sponsor, but... Kind of. Love them like they are. They're great. But yeah, it was fun. Shout out. Continue. Good. Not a sponsor, but kind of love them like they are. Um, they're great, but yeah, it was fun. They, uh, so you went home early, took the kids, Catherine stayed, right. And then we took her home. And, uh, so they, this is just a family. This is not a church.

This is not an organization. They put on their own fireworks show and it lasted 30 minutes. Wow. Maybe I don't know what Catherine said, but maybe I would say between 25 and 35 minutes. Yeah, we didn't talk too much about the fireworks. It was great. I've never seen fireworks like that in a residential area. So good for them. He took a picture

of what they had and it was like I don't know that much, but that looks like a lot of money and a lot of time that's going to lapse for this. Yeah. It was fun. I didn't, I tried to Seems like a lot of time that's going to lapse for this. Yeah, it was fun. I didn't, I tried to, I knew ahead of time,

probably not going to be a lot of white meat, you know, it's 4th of July cookout. So I ate Chipotle on the way down there and then really just had dessert all day. Those are like my only other options. That's 4th of July for you, baby. Yep, just had a ton of dessert. It was great, which was good to get me ready for the cruise. Yeah, fair.

You know, it's just all available. Hook up the sugar a little bit. But yeah, I thought the 4th of July was great. I loved 4th of July. There were so many people there. I didn't have any, at first I was like, maybe it's just the Becks, like Calvin and Molly and us. Like maybe it's going to be like 10 or 15 of us.

And all of a sudden it was like, no, there were so many. And I loved before we ate, because I think we ate dinner there, right? Yeah. Before we ate, I loved, uh, before we ate, cause I think we ate dinner there, right? Yeah. Before we ate, I think it's like a tradition. Like every single person went around and introduced themselves and where, like how they knew Calvin and Molly or how they knew the Beck, sorry. Um, and who, who brought, you know, whatever. And it was kind of like this sweet thing where it was like, it was one of those classic things where it was like, Oh, we could have probably just

like, it's kind of a tradition, but, uh, it's kind of crazy. There's a lot of kids around. Let's just, let's just eat and whatever. And it's like, I could tell like Calvin's dad was like very intentional. Like, no, we're all getting together. We're all right here. We're doing this thing. Like, um, so that was a fun, like, I don't know. It was like one of those classic, like, just feels like an old school family thing to do that doesn't always happen these days. So, yeah. Um, I, yeah. So I took the kids home and I was so proud of myself, dude. Like timing, it was one of those classic, like dad moments that also like turned, you know, pride comes before the fall kind of thing. Um, but I thought I had timed it perfectly. Rosie was like falling

asleep as we were driving home. Henry was screaming. No problem. Just put some headphones on the kids. Let them watch a movie. It's 4th of July. We watched American Heroes or something like that. Cool. So they learned about John Henry and Johnny Appleseed and Paul Bunyan, maybe. I don't know.

All these different people. But the whole goal was like get them home while it's still somewhat daylight so that the fireworks aren't going off. So Hattie can fall asleep before the fireworks. Oh, good idea. He is like skittish about fireworks. Didn't work. All of a sudden I thought I had gotten Rosie to bed. She was asleep. Uh, Henry put him down. He was asleep. I'm like, I'm doing amazing. Uh, right as the movie ends is like right when it's time to put them to bed and put them to bed thinking it's great here. A few fireworks from like, Hey, he's not going to be bothered by that. She's got a sound machine. And all of a sudden she comes out with her sleep

mascot, like, you know, on top of her forehead, she's like, I can hear it. It's scary. I'm like, okay, maybe you can use my noise canceling. Yeah, that's what I would do. So she's just like the sensory deprivator 3000 over there. Like got her, got her no vision, no hearing face mask on, you know, noise canceling headphones. And she's still like crying in her bed. Oh, geez. So I'm like, oh gosh. And she's going to wake up Rosie. I got it. So I go get her and I'm like, just go sleep downstairs. Would you be okay with that? She's like, yeah. Like she like instantly was just fine with that. Um, and so she slept downstairs and I was like, I should probably check the monitor and see how Bo is doing because he's a little bit weird about stuff,

especially, I don't know. You never know. And I mean, there's a lot of fireworks going off in our neighborhood and I look at the monitor for Bo and he's standing up in bed, peering through the blinds in the window, just looking at all of them. And I was like, I mean, that's sweet. That kid is fun. Like, I'm not going to get him mad at that. And so I decided I'm like, I'm just going to go in and get them and bring them outside. Yeah. We're just going to sit on the front porch, just watch these things. So I got him, I had a LaCroix, I had a polar, you know, which is like a kind of like a LaCroix seltzer kind of thing. And we just shared, shared that drink, watched them and like made up different names for

different things. The ones that kind of like fizzle out, like the, you know, those, he called those toast. I don't know why. Toast? Toast. Okay. So every time we saw one of those, he'd be like, oh, toasty. And so it was just like this sweet, like 20 minutes with him where it was like, this is,

this is a fun memory kind of thing. That's really fun. Yeah. That's pretty cool. It was one of those times where I was like, should I get onto him and say like, Bo, you need to go to sleep. It's like, no, come on. It's 4th of July.

How often is this going to happen? You're not going to be able to fall asleep while all these things are shooting off anyway. Yeah. Like let's go for it. So that's fun. Yeah. I talked to Bo recently. He said one of the fireworks was called Main Street Roasters.

Yes. Which one was that? Main Street Roast instead of one of the fireworks was called Main Street Roasters. Yes. Which one was that? Main Street Roast instead of toast. Oh, yeah. Main Street Roast. Those are the ones that just are amazing quality for a pretty good price. You can tell you bought your fireworks.

I bet they didn't spend a ton on that. No, I bet they got that. I mean, and the more they get in bulk, I bet it's even cheaper. And where did that come from? It looks like it came from a single origin kind of blast there. It's a small batch. Yeah, Mage Roasters is once again sponsoring the podcast, which is very exciting.

By the time you're listening to this, I've been there, hopefully, because this weekend when I'm recording this, I'm going to Indiana, going to be nearby. Got to go. So, yeah, I plan on stopping by at some point. I don't remember what day that is. But yeah, hopefully next week I'll be able to tell you all about it after being there. That'll be awesome.

Yeah, we love Mace Roasters. They've got everything you need. They've got you covered when it comes to coffee. So check them out at maceroasters.com. They've got K-Cups. They've got ground beans. Whole beans. Beans. And yeah, also mugs. Also t-shirts. Here They got ground beans. Whole beans. Beans. And yeah, also mugs.

Thanks for coming to class. That was the transit of property. You're dismissed. Promo code is DRKZ. Okay, now you're dismissed. You're dismissed. I like that. Seriously for coming to class. That was the transit of property. You're dismissed. Promo code is GRKC. Okay, now you're dismissed. You're dismissed. I like that. Seriously, you're dismissed.

Let's just start ending the episodes with you are dismissed. Thanks for coming. You're dismissed. One thing I feel like I should mention is my finger. I realize we got an hour into this having mentioned it. So I missed one rec game while I was on the cruise. The day I flew back, so I woke up on the boat, flew back home, landed, then went to wreck basketball, got there a little early, ran my mile on the upper track. Yep. Didn't quite get I got like point six of the way done.

And I'm looking at my watch like, all right, it's pretty much time to play i guess i'll just i'll do the second half later and also what made me quit is that from the top i'm looking down and i see a fight about to break out with the team that elbowed me and got the technical on glide whatever they're like people having to break them up from like a fight and so i'm like i got a team the team that we're about to play oh okay so they had a double header yeah it's like i'm gonna get down there yeah i would too and so i swapped my shoes and i run down there and we were missing brad and we were missing glide i mean it you mainly just it was mainly me like we were missing brad carry the team brad from our offense we were missing glide from like

just like a role player standpoint just like looking cool yeah i don't know and so we got tate on room shout out tate really good really good yeah played uh several years of division one basketball um and played it well he joined us and he was great to have but uh basically it's still the first half and i played defense on a guy who felt like a normal just like he drive drove it to the hole i got my hand on the ball and he missed the shot and then i get the rebound as i start to dribble like something feels weird i look at the ball i'm like is something with the ball and i look down at my hand and i can't straighten my middle finger i was like oh geez oh, geez. Oh, my gosh.

What have I done? And it was just like the tip of it was just kind of like dangling down. Couldn't straighten it. So I was like, did I just like dislocate it? Did it hurt really bad? No pain. Interesting. I was like, this is the redheaded thing again?

Am I just the strongest man in the world? Why is there no pain? Yeah. First the elbow, now this. So no pain. Really? It just was dangling. And so then we call a timeout. I i'm like you guys go in for me uh two weeks ago isaac was mr gray's anatomy he was the team doctor

telling me exactly what i needed to do and everything yeah uh this time it was gunner gunner took on the role of team doctor she's like all right just turn her for a few years yeah so i mean you guys know our friends none of them are doctors none of them are even close to doctors but yeah gunner works in sales. So he was like, hey, let me take a look at it. And he was like, yep, dislocated it. This used to happen to me all the time in wrestling. You just got to pop it out.

And so I was like, all right. And so here I am with not a dislocated finger, we found out, trying to pop it back into place. Gunnar was like, I know it sucks. You just got to really yank it. God was like, I know it sucks. You just got to really ink it. I'm like, all right. And so I'm trying to yank my finger back into place. And he's like, yeah, you're sweaty.

So it might be tough. So I'm trying to ink harder. Let me do it. And I'm like, you know what? You guys go play. I'm going to call our actual team doctor, Garrett Gibson. Yeah, better. It's not a doctor, but close by.

He might have a doctorate of something. You're right. Physical therapy, DPT, DP He might have a doctorate of something. You're right. Physical therapy? DPT? DPT? Yeah. I don't know.

And so I FaceTime him, and he's like, oh, what happened this time? Turns out he was playing settlers with a whole crew. They're all like medical professionals. One of them was my friend. I think you played pickleball with him, Carson. Remember Carson? He would always play pickleball. He hit it like he was shoveling snow. Yeah, kind of. So Carson is a doctor. And so I was like, put me on the phone with Carson. Remember Carson? He would always hit it with like he was shoveling snow. Yeah, kind of. So Carson is a doctor. And so I was like, put me on the phone with Carson. And he basically

diagnoses me over the phone. And he's like, if you could straighten it with your finger on your own, then it's not broken. It's not dislocated. And he was like, you probably just tore this like tendon and this last knuckle on your finger. So you could technically like push it back up. Yes, it could straighten. It was just a matter of it just wouldn't stay up. Yeah. And there was nothing that you could do to like, sorry, I shouldn't do it that fast, but there's nothing you can do, uh, like to like, yeah, move it. Yeah. It just wouldn't, you know, it was just like, I didn't have the ability to straighten it all the way. It was just droopy. Looked it up later. It's like, um like a slang term for its droopy

finger really so i go to the orthopedic clinic the next morning and yeah they run an x-ray i haven't ever had an x-ray before pretty cool and they got it down pretty quick process yeah i was having a blast i was like this is fun you guys do this all day sutures yeah rachel wasn't with me to defend me he's always like this yeah and they basically said what carson said they said you stretched or tore this tendon but what they said this was what's interesting and this is where i have some decisions to make they said it's almost entirely cosmetic and so they're like you still have like function of your finger, like it's still pretty much works. Um, it's just going to droop. And so they're like, really the only way to fix this, that by far the best way to fix it is just

splinting it. I was like, okay, what's that? And they said, you have to wear it 24 seven for six to eight weeks. I was like, geez, that's a lot of time. I mean, things can be worse. I could have tore my ACL or something, but I was like, okay, that's a lot. And they said, and even if you like, when you're swapping it out or cleaning it, your finger has to be like flat on the table. Like if it even goes back at all, it like, you start back at square one

and then it might not ever fix. Like, I'm glad you came in as early as you did. This is the only time to like correct it. Oh, really? You have to splint it right away and keep it on. Be very diligent. Basically like retraining your finger to be straight. Yes, and then enough blood flow, it'll heal itself, apparently.

So I was like, all right, I guess that's what I have to do. Well, then I go to hold a pickleball paddle, or I go to hold the golf club. I'm like, this isn't working. So then I was like, well, can I just live with this? Maybe I'll just take it off. It feels fine without it. I think I can still throw a football,

be able to play catch with my kids someday still. Like it just slightly droopier. So you, you really do think you can function okay without like, cause it does feel like your fingertips are important. Like what about typing? You talked about how it was hard for you to type. Obviously right now,

I will say I didn't try typing with the droopy finger. I tried to do other stuff that night and I should have done more. Cause I understand that you could, you could hold something just fine without your fingertips, but like a lot of stuff you still need your fingertips for, but it was just this last knuckle. So it was like, you can't even really force your finger to do it,

but it was, it was barely anything. Yeah. What'd you call it? Mallet finger. That's what, Oh yeah. So the doctors called it mallet finger. That's exactly exactly what it looks like it looks like someone just hit your hand

with the hammer yeah i told i got back from the doctor and i was like rachel i have mallet finger she's like oh gross sounds like you got it from the war um so yeah i was just trying to decide i was like i don't know like i Obviously, everyone's being like, hey, idiot, you should fix this. So here's what else I found. There's a different kind of splint that I found online that gives you a little more dexterity. So I think what I'm going to do is I'm going to put that on when I'm playing sports, and any other time,

I'm going to wear the big dog. Okay. And I'm going to be diligent and keep it on. Yeah, I think you to wear the big dog. Okay. And I'm going to be diligent and keep it on. Yeah, I think you would regret not doing that. Yeah. You know? Yeah, I'll look back 20 years from now. I was like, why did I care so much about that?

It was two months. Pickleball series I was doing at the time. It doesn't matter in the grand scheme of things. Yeah. And knowing you, you'd still be all right at pickleball. You get used to it. You'd acclimate and just be fine. It's part of me.

Like, wow, we just put all this time and effort and money into this, like, series of, like, four-part series. Can we win gold at PPA? And now I'm like, all right, so just kind of lay low. Don't do much. Like, well, I want to do the opposite of that. You could learn how to play left-handed in a week. Honestly, you'd be pretty good, I bet.

You wouldn't be as good, but you could be competitive left-handed. Maybe not at PPA. Maybe ping pong. No, I bet. You wouldn't be as good, but you could be competitive left-handed. Maybe not at PPA. Maybe ping pong. No, pickleball. That's what we're talking about. We're talking about pickleball. I know. No, dude.

You don't understand. I'm not talking about that. That's a whole different sport of what I'm talking about. Yeah. Anyway, so that's what's going on with my finger. Got a little mallet finger. Dang.

Was it tough to swallow when you heard all that? Just once again, just frustrating. Just like, like dang and it confirmed i'm done with basketball as long as i'm making a living playing pickleball and golf i don't need to be doing dumb stuff like this like risk yeah stuff like this so so it was like you basically punched the ball a little bit like you almost like jammed your finger it's just like a more extreme jammed finger yeah and i swear it hurt less than a jammed finger does because jammed fingers stink those can really hurt and they can really bruise down at the bottom that's when you pull out your finger is when you jam it yeah and so anyway this

is just at the top barely any bruising barely any swelling just the very top knuckle just such as like how does not happen to me before if it can happen that easily why did it happen now so yeah just kind of frustrating you You learn pretty quickly. It turns out you use your dominant hand middle finger for quite a bit. Yeah. Top three things I've noticed you use it for. Typing. Wiping. Wiping. How'd you know?

I just was imagining. Yeah. What I don't do with my other hand ever. Yeah. So typing, wiping, and then eating. If you think about eating the whole spoon, it rests on your middle finger. That's like you have no sensation eating. I'll be fine guys. I'll live. Yeah. Those are the three things I've noticed so far. Pretty inconvenient. That's a bummer though. Yeah. Okay. So you want to have a typing contest real quick? Like, uh, like I'll, I'll type it twice before you type it once. Oh, that's fun. Yeah. Yeah. Cause I, it's not just speed,

but it's also like anything with a middle finger. I lose a accuracy with as well. All right. So you're still trying to use the middle finger. You're not, you're not just like foregoing it. All right. You give me something to type,

but I'll, I'll type it or, or what should we type? I'll just say a sentence and then we both type it at the same time. All right. Okay. You have to type it twice. Okay.

There's a lot of construction going on near my house. Oh, geez. Done. Done. Dang. Oh, really? That was a close race. I will say,

I had an autocorrect in the notes for my second theirs. Just being honest, just being truthful. I got construction so wrong, there was no autocorrect. Do it on my own. Oh, that's funny.

So yeah, just some minor inconveniences. It's mainly the sports. So what makes this worse is Sunday Swagger, our golf apparel brand, wearing the hat, they are flying in from California today and tomorrow to spend most of those two days shooting with Trey and I.

This is like in our contract. We knew we'd have to do this. I'm like, dang, that is a bummer that this is happening today and tomorrow. Your splint's kind of fleshly, flesh-colored. Rachel thinks I need to get white or black or something. She she's like it just looks like something's wrong with your finger oh no i think it's almost better because then maybe people wouldn't notice it sometimes yeah maybe i hopefully i mean i'll figure something out are you is it like a short form

sunday swagger stuff or is it it's a lot of uh stuff they're doing like a i mean we're shooting maybe 20 different videos. They want to do some like spoofing, like GQ, 10 things I can't live without and spoofing like genius, like lyrics. And then doing, um,

let's see what else. Yeah. We're going to give them short form stuff. We're gonna have them some like meta ad stuff. We're going to do some long form stuff. So it's a lot. Luckily a lot of it is not actually golfing. Yes.

Um, once they kind of sent over the document and what we're looking at. So, and if you do need like a high quality golfer, you can just use Trey. Perfect. Bing, bang, boom. Bing, bang, boom. Cool, man. So that's my finger. Oh, mallet finger.

Looks like stitches are gone. Yeah. Sutures. About halfway through the cruise, I just woke up one day and the stitches were like in my bed. Like I kind of saw them. They look like scabs. Crazy night. Yeah. Boat must have been rocking boats rocking don't come knocking that's just my sutures and so yeah I mean they're it's kind of just like I've got kind of a joker kind of a light red pink scar right now and yeah so is that scar

scarred like is that I don't know I don't know how those work either no idea yeah but yeah healed up great take one add another you know yeah six eight weeks we'll see what happens next you know i know i'm uh i'll still come watch you guys play basketball but yeah i think i'm done uh playing where where's 10 years yeah we're a coach's outfit and i should i think of nothing else for the um for the tournament night i'll for sure come and support and maybe do something fun for that. The tournament's going to be such a cluster, dude. We are going to get whooped. Well, Blythe's not going to be there.

You're not going to be there. Rustin and Tate? Well, yeah. If we get them. I think it could happen. I feel like I really tried to I tried to make sure Tate had a good time. Good. Tried to really recruit him. Hey, Tate Under come coming to Pheasant Hut. No way.

Yeah. It's going to be awesome. Okay, so when I FaceTimed Garrett, he was like, dude, I'm coming too. Dude, there's some names coming, dude. I'm excited. Tate's funny. I mean, just in the little we got to hang out playing basketball, we were going to get some coffee soon.

He's the man. Yeah, he seems like a really good guy. We need to hang out with him more. But yeah, if we can have Tate and Rustin, because I learned, I got talking with one of the, oh yeah, that's the thing. After I, you know, at this point, I'm like, did I just dislocate my finger or whatever?

I still had to run 0.4 miles afterwards. So then I'd go back on the track, run that, and then end up walking out with a kid and his parents who had come to watch him, who we played against. And he plays for Rockhurst. I was like, oh,

I don't feel bad bringing in these ringers in. Yeah, absolutely. You play Division I basketball, great. Yeah. We can do that too.

I mean, not me, but I have friends. You could have played D1. I have 10 fingered friends who could do that instead of me. What's that,

the six fingered man or whatever on Princess Bride? Oh, it's the other thing. I want to get Braden speaking of fingers. I have a nine fingered friend. Never seen him play basketball, but KU. Oh, it's the other thing. I want to get Brayton speaking of fingers. I have a nine-figured friend. Never seen him play basketball, but KU practice team.

Got to be pretty decent. Yeah, 100%. Get him involved. Played against Josh Jackson, Devontae Graham, others. Frank Mason. Yeah. That's it. The Gerald Vick.

No, there's more. There were more than three guys on the team? Svi. Oh, five people. Yeah, there's five people on a basketball team, Jake, at a time. That's great, man. All right, let's end this episode because we got another one to film here before too long. And then you got to go get some swagger going.

Sunday swag. Thank you guys for listening. Let's just, should we just cut it? Should we do the review of the week? Oh, yeah. Sorry, sorry. Review of the week. Yep, I was looking ahead for my review.

I was reading, sorry. Honestly, what I got distracted. Yep, I was looking ahead for my review. I was reading, sorry, honestly, what I got distracted at is we got a legitimate three-star review. What? Yeah. Oh man. Char char. I was just, I saw it for the first time and it looks like the summary is... Don't talk

about Jesus. Yeah, they were kind of, I guess not necessarily offended, but they were bummed out about certain. Yeah. They were kind of, I guess not necessarily offended, but they were bummed out about certain religious themes. Well, that's who we are. So I'm not going to change that. I'm sorry you don't love it, but I hope and pray that you do someday. He said he cannot relate to these guys anymore.

Bummer. I'd like to think there's other things in our life you could relate to. Yeah. Everyone's got mallet finger. It might not be a literal mallet finger, but we've all got something droopy in our lives. There you go. What's your mallet? I can't tell you right now. I'll show you later.

There's some other good ones, though. Like the best podcast on the internet. Nervous to read the username because it says Jesus. It's from KKlovesJesusandavocados. What age did you make that username? That's great. This podcast has now become my favorite podcast

after careful deliberation. I love the dynamic between Jake, Brad, and Tymon and how much they care about their fans. I don't think there's a more entertaining podcast to listen to. And I love that they're student life together. Honored to call myself a ghostie. And it's my twice-weekly pick-me-up. Thanks, guys, for making my life a little better with each episode. That's very nice. KK. I love you. All right. My review is coming

from very drippy, very drippy, the best pod Ezekiel. I like, I just puts his name in there or somebody else's name. Five-star review. I love this podcast and it inspires me to try new things, but it's also awesome because whenever I need a laugh or a new joke to tell my friends, I just listen to ghost runners. I recommend this podcast very much. And I know God will do, sorry, let's, um, I know God will do great things for you guys. Uh, if you guys ever see this review, please say that Ezekiel is a Sigma. All right. I don't, I hope I'm not Ezekiel's a Sigma. Uh, also I was the guy whozekiel is a Sigma. Also, I was the guy who wrote the drippy review.

Love you guys. This guy's just dripping all over the place. So shout out to very drippy, drippy finger. Thanks to the reviews. Brad, would you like to end this episode with a jingle? Oh,
