I didn't have any hilarious bit to open the podcast with, so I turned to ChatGPT and said, what's a hilarious way to cold open a podcast? ChatGPT said this in brackets. Brad, can you kind of help act out some of the action as I describe it? Absolutely. So in brackets it says,

ambient sounds of chaos, colon, footsteps, rustling papers and doors creaking. Host in a panicked voice. Wait, did we start already? Wait, did we start already? Who hit record? Who hit record? No, no, no. No, no, no.

We need to redo that. God, we need to redo that. Come on, we need to redo that. Also, where's the script for this episode? Also, I'm trying to... Where's the script for this episode? We have a script, right? We have a script, right?

What do you mean we don't have one?'s the script? We have a script, right? What do you mean? We don't have one? Another voice in the background muffled shouting. There's a goat in the studio who brought a goat Okay, everyone just act cool No one mentioned the goat, we're professionals here. No one mentioned the goat, we're professionals here. Sound of goat bleeding, good timing. Host now calm, suddenly switching tone.

Welcome back to another episode of Podcast Name. Welcome back to another episode of Ghost Runners Podcast. My name is Brad Ellis and it's gonna be a great episode here. I hope you're having a great week. Where today we definitely didn't forget how to podcast. Where today we definitely didn't forget how to podcast. Where today we definitely didn't forget how to podcast. We have our script right here. And there's absolutely not a goat standing next to me.

And whatever you think, there's absolutely not a goat standing next to me. Let's jump into it. Let's jump into it. This sudden burst of chaos, followed by a nonchalant transition into the show, would grab listeners' attention and make them laugh right off the bat Well guys Look in the mirror. Are you dying laughing? If you're driving take that rear view mirror check it right on yourself and say am I laughing right now? So time it time and click the laugh track just in case no one else is laughing forget how to laugh

This is what AI could do for you. Working on it. Hey. I think it's just applause. Forget how... Yeah, we don't have a laugh track, do we? I don't think so. Laughing is, or clapping is laughing with your hands. So. Yeah.

So that's it. So if you're scared of AI, I'd say we got a few years. I think we're okay. Yeah. Good job, you guys. Good acting. Thank you. Spock. Yeah. Oh, yeah. There are more than one. We're taking us. Yeah.

Timon, you look sad and I think I know why. It's because you got kicked out of the guillotine league. Oh, yeah. Just a. I was I cry myself to sleep that night. I figured I could tell you were into it. You know, it'd been four weeks and you hadn't made a roster move, not even switching anyone in and out of your lineup.

I was like, man, this is a guy who loves his team. This guy loves his players. It's like, hey, if you play FASC football, you will get into FASC football. It's a hundred percent proven and you showed that. Yeah. Keenan Allen's out for three weeks time. It's like, this is my guy.

I drafted him and he's going to start for me. Yeah. I don't care. Wheel him out there. He has potential. Yeah, I could see it. He's been around for a minute of no one else did Yeah And it did not work out but you made it further than some people who really like football I really felt I I felt I was like I should have gotten out at the first

I was like just the fact that I'm sitting in here not doing a darn thing and people are losing I felt bad Did you yeah, kind of? Yeah, it's just like, yeah, especially people that actually were trying and just got, unfortunately, just a bad lineup. Yeah, now we know. Also, the thing is, it wasn't even like your lack of altering lineups or anything, that's not even what it cost you. It's kind of just like how fantasy works sometimes.

You had good players and they just had a down week and you got knocked out. Because I mean, without making a single change, you easily could have made it halfway in the season. I feel like. That's what makes the Gatling League so fun is that every week you're nervous. Like even if you're like, I know my team is like,

I had one of my leagues, you know, we're in both leagues. One of my teams did really, really well this past week. Yeah, you had 220 points or something. And next week I could easily have half of that. Yeah. With the exact same players. Yeah. We don't know.

So it's really fun. It happened. There was a funny pattern in both leagues. Whoever got the number one overall pick scored the most points in week one. Okay. Which is a pattern we saw. I think it was Alexis Jordan and then Samuel Sin.

And then both of those people I think are now out. I know Samuel Sin is out and Lexis maybe like got second to last one week or something. And there's like how the, how the mighty have fallen. Yeah. It was a funny little pattern. Just don't get too cocky. I think Alexis is still in it, but she had a scare. Okay. The guillotine league comes first.

It was benign. Let's talk about the Chiefs game just a little bit because we haven't done all time quarterback and I don't think we're planning to. Yeah. Just in general. So Chiefs played the Chargers last week. They were down 10 to 0 for a good part of the game.

First quarter. And I was watching at home with Bo. I was trying to watch the games before while he napped, but he did not nap. He came out and wanted to watch with me, which is fine. We laid on the couch together. It was a sweet time. But then eventually, he started getting ants in his pants, started

touching all over my face. I said, Oh, you gotta stop touching my face. And then chief's game comes on. He's got Nance on his pants. He's got Nance in his pants. Well, yeah, no, not like that. But like, and so then I was like, uh, Hey, Bo, like you need to go sit in your own chair, like get off of me right now. And you know, he's, he's trying to watch the game. He's trying to like be involved. And so he kept asking me the entire time we were losing 10 to zero or the chiefs winning yet or the chiefs went, I just kept trying to be very patient with him. Meanwhile, uh, Patrick, my homes takes out the ACL of one of our best receiver, the best receiver in the NFL yards wise so far.

Yeah. People are saying it might be one of the worst like 10 second stretches for a quarterback of all time. You throw an interception already losing and then you tackle the NFL's leading receiver on your team and potentially Tara's ACL. Super, super frustrating. You know, everyone's bombed chiefs are losing. One of my cousins in the family group chat about the chiefs is I got beef with this cousin dude. So negative. Did I tell you about this? Yeah. Yeah. He was like, he was like chiefs chances for three Peter over my homes has lost it. And you know, too many injuries. And of course I'm just frustrated. This is the same cousin that like three years ago was like, I take Joe burrow over Patrick, my homes right now. I'm like shot your,

like all the frustration I have, he lives in Kansas city and he's a huge, like he claims to be a huge Kansas city chief. Anyway. It's an odd way of cheering on your team. Super annoying. Super frustrating. So I'm frustrated with that. And then, you know, in our friends group chat with me and Jake, Scott, Isaac, Harrison, Peter, whatever, Luke, Hogan, Scott's getting a little sarcastic and whatever.

And finally that kid, like, so, so I got this, my cousin complained over here, Bo asking me every five seconds, are the chiefs winning? No, they're not winning. No, but daddy's hitting the money line. Yeah, yeah, yeah. No, they're losing, Bo. They're, they, they continue to lose and not only are they losing this game, but they might be like struggling the rest of the season, because we don't have any player.

And then I got Scott over here. And so finally I just have to get frustrated with somebody. And who do I take it out on? My best friend in the world forever, Scott Peck. And I'm like, Scott, how about you stop being so sorry. I think I said, Scott, I love how sarcastic and negative you are all the time. So fun to read. Yeah. Yeah. Something like that. And I had to apologize later because I was like, Oh, I shouldn't have done that. It's not your fault. It was the circumference around me. But then Catherine gets home from

an errand with Hattie. They're watching the game and we complete this 60 yard pass, something like that. Home's longest air yards that throw ever. Yeah. And I went nuts. I, you would have thought we won the super bowl. I was standing up high-fiving Bo. Like I probably still is a little bit sore on his hand. Like I was like, let's go, let's go. He's like, are the Chiefs winning yet? He's like, no, but they're better. So anyway, it was just this very exciting time. Did you hear the stat they said on the broadcast that when Mahomes is down exactly 10, he's 12 and 0?

Yes, and I heard that that was actually not true. Oh really? Nance got his pants around. Something like eight and five or eight and four, but still like a pretty amazing like, he comes back all the time. So anyway, that's Chief's story. Remember that whole thing,

cause when we do our new segment later, I have something to say about that. Ooh, fun. Something to say about that. So yeah, it's been fun watching that and watching the Royals with my kids. Like I almost- Yeah, you've been watching baseball? It's, yeah, it's been fun watching that and watching the Royals with my kids. Like I almost. Yeah, you've been watching baseball.

It's yeah, it's been fun. It's fun when our teams win to watch stuff with the kids because like Bo and Hattie still don't understand baseball yet. Like almost every time the ball goes up in the air, the players catch it. Yeah. And so but to them, it's like, are they going to catch it? Are they going to catch it? Let's see. Let's see. Let's see. Drop it. Drop it. Drop it.

And you know, if they catch it, Bo is just like, yeah, yeah. Let's go. Routine fly ball. Yeah, exactly. Yes, dude. Oh, he's so pumped. Oh, he's so excited. That's fun, the anticipation.

Yeah, yeah. It's right to him. And I'm trying to kind of narrate along with it. Like, same with football. Like, OK, let's see if they get past the yellow line. Oh, they didn't. OK, good, good. That's good for us. That's good. We stopped them. Because we're on defense. But if we were on offense, we would have liked line. Oh, they didn't. Okay, good, good. That's good for us.

That's good. We stopped them. Defense, but if we were an offense, we would have liked that. Yeah, yeah, exactly. So like, I know, I know that the Royals are going to catch this fly ball, but I'm like, oh, is he going to catch it?

Is he going to catch it? He caught it. Okay, it's three outs. Now we get a bat, you know, whatever. So yeah, the kids really like watching baseball because I think they understand a little bit easier. Good. So that's fun. It's really, it's been really fun. I think kids is a good reason to get back into baseball because I think they understand it a little bit easier. Good. That's fun.

It's been really fun. I think kids is a good reason to get back into baseball probably. You're playing it. You're watching it. Our best player for the Royals is Bobby Witt Jr. So now he's like, Bobby, come on, Bobby. It's sweet.

Come on, Bobby. Hit it. Hit it, Bobby. Anyway, UT's last episode. Do we want to just get into this life altering news? Life altering announcement. So do you guys even know what it is? Do you have a hunch?

I don't think so. Hunch, no. A dog, you're getting a puppy. No, it was an organizer. What's funny, I think I forgot to mention this last episode. When I was putting the blindfold on Rachel, she already thought she was getting a puppy. And then a dog did start to bark like from a distance. She's like, I think I forgot to mention this last episode. When I was putting the blindfold on Rachel, she already thought she was getting a puppy. And then a dog did start to bark from a distance.

She's like, I knew it. I knew it was a dog. I knew it wasn't a wolf, it was a dog. And then she gets in the house like, okay, it's color-coordinated. Where's the dog? This is, dogs are color blinds. I don't know.

How's this help? How's this help the dog? Life altering news. No, I guess he'll live somewhere else. Yeah, I have guesses, but I don't wanna say them. Yeah, so I have decided that I will not be doing any more standup comedy with Trey. Oh, that was gonna be my guess, but I was like,

what if I say that? And then you're like, no, actually I think I am. No, wasn't gonna say that yet. No, this has been a tough decision to make. And before people even jump to conclusions, I haven't really thought too much how I wanna announce this, but nothing's wrong with me and Trey. In fact, I would dare to say we are better than ever.

We got a great thing going on. We're still loving correct opinions, loving mood swings. Just kind of a business decision. We've talked about it a little bit before, but it just, yeah, it's a lot of travel. I mean, if you asked me five years ago, like, hey, Jake, you have an opportunity to live on a tour bus, see the country,

go to Australia, Canada, probably Europe, this tour, to do stand-up comedy. Would you want to decline that? Like, what? Why in the world? I would never. No, this is exactly what I want to do. But now that I've done it, two tours,

it just feels like something that, at least right now, it feels like the right decision. Yeah. Obviously, there's no way of knowing for certain. But yeah, it just on one end, it feels good. Like, at least it's my decision. You know, it'd be one thing of like, no one's really laughing. Hey, we don't really want you to. I think I'm going to stop or like other people are asking me to stop.

So at least there's an aspect of it, like at least, you know, it's far from like, I went out on top, but at least I went out with them laughing. Totally. I went out with the mission being accomplished. Yeah. There's a second element of this that Rachel and I always talk about,

like I can always come back to stand up comedy. Like this doesn't feel like a thing like, like Canna Cocker is like, if I wanna do this, I need to do it while I'm 23 and don't have much of a career going. Right. Or a standup. It's like so many successful comedians are in their forties, fifties, sixties.

Like you can, your sense of humor doesn't really leave you. Maybe I'll come back to it. One of the big aspects of making the decision was out of all the different ventures I have, what do they call it? Things in the fire, coals in the fire, iron's in the fire. Iron's in the... Stokes, stokes of the iron. Stokes of the fires. Stokes of the fires. Out of all the fires, this is probably the one that's like the worst ROI of my time.

The coldest. Yeah, it's the least hot. It's like a barely yellow. The cobbler's ROI is never in the fire. If you're gonna eat the frog, make sure the cobblers are eyes up to stuff. Yeah, it's hot. Yeah. Yeah, I mean, you spend so much time on tour.

Like. Yeah, and I feel like this year, especially, I started to notice how the breath of fresh air, the relaxation, and not even relaxation, but like the accordion unfolding when I had five days to be at home. And it wasn't like cram a full week of work into Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday,

because I'm leaving early Thursday morning. Like it felt so nice to be able to accomplish things with five days. So yeah, just you look at correct opinions. Wow, that's, yeah, I make money off that and that takes two hours a week. Yeah, that's great. Mood swings, we shoot once every two weeks,

making money off of that, you know, that you compare all these things to being the opener of a standup comedy tour. It's awesome. When I'm on stage, when I'm performing, it is so cool. It's so fulfilling. And I love going to the lobby afterwards, seeing all the ghosties, but yeah, it just,

you get to a point. Never thought I'd have to make a decision like that, but it's like, I got a lot of fun, good things going on right now. And so, even though it's something I thought I would never do, you get to a point. So maybe I will regret it, maybe I won't, but I know, at least I think I know I won't regret

doubling down and spending more time on Friday Pick A Ball. Maybe someday in a future episode, I can get into the details, the financials, everything, but I think most people, if they looked at my situation and they looked at it objectively, they would say, yeah, this is where you need to put your efforts. Because you're not crazy passionate about standup comedy. You're not like, I was born to do this forever.

I've been telling people that kind of privately for a while now. It's like, I don't know if that's what I was put on this earth to do. And not to say that I was put on this earth to make pickleball videos either. I think we're all trying to figure it out. But when I think about, all right, that tour is over.

We're gonna post the stand-up special soon. Now I have nothing. I'm back to the drawing board. I have to create a new 30-minute set. I don't get excited about that. I'm like, gosh, I gotta find 30 minutes of new material. Oh my gosh, that sounds so daunting and so scary. And I hate memorizing it.

I hate being nervous. And there's one argument to say like, hey, it's good to be pushed out of your comfort zone. There's also an argument that's like, I got a pretty good life. I'm really enjoying all the other things. None of those make me nervous. None of these are really, really hard.

So you could split that and look at it two different ways. But yeah, it's like, if I'm not fired up to do this, maybe it's not, if the passion's not there, if the money's not there, maybe I'll just put this on hold for now. I love it, man. And if people want you to do private shows or gigs specifically, hey, if you want Jake and Brad to come to your hometown,

we'd love to, that's different. Yeah, exactly. One-offs are different than going on a hundred city tour or whatever it is. Yeah. You know, that was the one thing that I had trouble letting go of was like, man, now that I've done three, four years of stand-up comedy, now that I've started to really figure it out a little bit better, now it feels like a dumb time to quit. Now that I've figured out how to like, write a joke and communicate to a lot of people effectively at the same time, it feels wrong to like not utilize those skills.

So the goal would still be to speak to people from a stage and maybe different capacities, maybe still stand up, which leads me to kind of exciting thing. I have, I've hired someone. I haven't told you about this. I don't think. And I've hired a ghosty who I'll give you each a few guesses. I think I know the answer. Already without even me saying anything?

All right, just give me three names. I'll see if it's in. Oh, I don't know her name. I don't remember her name. Do you think I should know her name? I think you should know her name. Who are you gonna say? I thought you had hired,

do you want me to tell you what I think you hired? Oh, I forgot. That one girl. Was that not Oh, I forgot that one girl Was that not her? I forgot about that. Okay. Ah Hey, we'll see. I forgot about her. I screenshot it so I could find it later. Okay, but iOS 18 Where are the screenshots? Where in the world are they? I time and I were totally I've updated my phone Yeah A lot of time and I worked on this before he got over here iOS 18 not that many changes You're gonna be like, I'm gonna be like, you're gonna be like, I'm gonna be like, you're gonna be like, I'm gonna be like, I'm gonna be like, I'm gonna be like, I'm gonna be like, I'm gonna be like, I'm gonna be like, I'm gonna be like, I'm gonna be like, I'm gonna be like,

I'm gonna be like, I'm gonna be like, I'm gonna be like, I'm gonna be like, I'm gonna be like, I'm gonna be like, I'm gonna be like, I'm gonna be like, I'm gonna be like, I'm gonna be like, I'm gonna be like, I'm gonna be like, I'm gonna be like, I'm gonna be like, I'm gonna be like, I'm gonna be like,

I'm gonna be like, I'm gonna be like, I'm gonna be like, I'm gonna be like, I'm gonna be like, I'm gonna be like, I'm gonna be like, I'm gonna be like, I'm gonna be like, I'm gonna be like, I'm gonna be like, I'm gonna be like, I'm gonna be like, I'm gonna be like, I'm gonna be like, I'm gonna be like,

I'm gonna be like, I'm gonna be like, I'm gonna be like, I'm gonna be like, I'm gonna be like, I'm gonna be like, I'm gonna be like, I'm gonna be like, I'm gonna be like, I'm gonna be like, I'm gonna be like, I'm gonna be like, I'm gonna be like, I'm gonna be like, I'm gonna be like, I'm it in it's now smaller. I can't I can't watch a full-screen video. Yeah What zooming in on photos is different now it barely zooms in yeah, you double tap and just like slightly fills the screen stupid

Photos app, okay off-limits So what were we? Oh, okay. So somebody you hired so it's not is it this job though? Yes, do you want me to give it away or do you want to like be the one to say? Oh, okay. So somebody you hired. So it's not, is it this job though? Yes. Do you want me to give it away or do you want to like be the one to say it? I don't even remember what the job was. Go ahead. Oh, I thought it was a virtual assistant. Yes a little bit Okay, kind of uh, which I don't know if that's what i'm hiring for exactly basically I um, Wait, do you have any other guesses and i'll just say it. Uh, jillian crowsdale fun guess incorrect. Um, Should be fun to randomly get your name told right now.

I don't know, Mikaela Helton, it's not her. Fun guess. So, Jean-Albert Yow. Jean-Albert Yow. Yeah, her name just kept coming to mind because I see this job being like three different things. For now, I want her to be kind of just like, you're gonna send 50 emails a month

to Christian colleges and large churches, pitching me to come speak or perform whatever, MC for them. And then you would be in charge of setting appointments, negotiating everything on my behalf. I looked back in 2022, I bought the email address, or I started paying for the emails, booking at jaketriple.com.

I don't remember doing that. I looked in the email, there's a draft of like a sample email. I don't remember, it's like someone did this for me. I'm like, when did I do any of this? Anyway, that's step one. If this starts to go well, then I think we ramp it up. I would love for Janelle, someone to just like run LinkedIn for me.

Like you manage it all, you create, me, you and chat at GBT together, recreate like the post on LinkedIn. Just like the seven things stand up comedy taught me about entrepreneurship, you know, like coming up with things like this. And then lastly, it would be like, hey, I'd love to do more like corporate speaking gigs

where it's not necessarily branded as stand up comedy, where they're expecting some like lousy talk. And then I come in and and make it really funny. And I was like, who knows me better than anybody? My family. Who knows me better than anybody after that? My closest friends. Once you get down a little bit,

then it's like, oh my gosh, Janelle Bonilla. Yeah, but I was like, I think I wanna hire from within Ghosties because they've heard us so many stories over the years. So when it comes time to write a talk that's like like I don't know. Let's find some bullet points Let's find some themes in my life. It seems more fun to hire from within a ghost. Yeah. Yeah, that's genius. Honestly I think that's so fun. Thank you So for all those three things, I was like, I just can't get Janelle out of my head

Okay, and part of what she does for a living. I feel like she would be do a good job Yeah, you know like managing this the, you know, whatever. She's not overwhelmed easily. She's good. She's wicked smart. That's fun. So anyway, there's that, hopefully answered maybe some of the questions that come to mind.

Everything's good with me and Trey. I talked to him and he totally understands. He understands more than anybody probably. I think once you get married, it made a difference how different it is to be gone versus at home. Because before it's like, okay, yeah, I can do my work away from home. That's not that big of a deal.

But now it's like, there's something different than just the house that I'm in at home. Little bit of a husband guilt. It's like, ah, I'm gone a lot. And if Rachel were to come with me, it's living on a bus with eight other dudes. I don't know if she really wants that either. She's always said seven max max seven max. Yeah, so

So now that's awesome. Anyway, do you have a life altering announcement? Nah, I don't think well, what was one that you were telling me timing back the one that you had that I was telling you. Yeah Blood bath I Text I was I was running a little bit late today. I texted the boys. I was like, I'm sorry guys. It was a blood bath here this morning at home. Just about a funny word. The kids were, yeah. The kid, it was just a rough, rough morning with each kid had something just individually like, what, why are you doing this? No, you're, they're not supposed to be like this. Just eat the banana, you know, whatever. So it was really funny when you said Maria M she's a saint.

Yes, dude. It's so funny. Cause it's anytime it's like, anytime it's like, okay, there's a, there's a woman out there with eight kids. And what's crazy is she's never been overwhelmed. Really? Yeah. Yeah. She's actually, yeah. Are you joking?

No, yes I'm joking. Oh, okay. Well, cause there, I feel like, I feel like there is like a, I don't know. I think some, I would love to like, sounds weird. I would love to study your mom, but like, I don't know. Like there's, there's gotta be a quality of somebody that's like, if we're doing this eight times, like either they just embrace and like love the chaos or they can just not be stressed or I don't know.

Like, I don't know. I think we've just like every day we're still figuring it out. She is. I don't know. It's just like you just do what you got to do. I don't know. It's yeah. Yeah.

I don't know if she would have like a secret. No, I'm not. Yeah. But there just seems like there's some and I think maybe Catherine would even disagree with this or maybe I disagree with myself, but I don't think it takes a superhero, moms are awesome, moms are superheroes, but at the same time, I don't think it takes

this certain kind of mom to have four kids, because Catherine definitely got overwhelmed with one kid, and two kids, and three kids, and now four kids. We all get overwhelmed, but at the same time, there does feel like there's some moms out there that are like, yeah, that's just how it is. And we're, you know, we're on time. And oh, by the way, we baked muffins for you.

And yeah, we did this really fun Pinterest Halloween craft. You know, let me post about on Instagram now. It's like, how are you, how, I can't even, you know, get a caption out on Instagram before four of my kids like hit me on the face or whatever. So. My favorite superhero mama mama. It's it's national superhero day. Oh wait, it's just mother's day.

It's a photo of mama mama for my superhero. I like like the Superman. Yeah. Simple. But instead it's just an M M and underneath it says mama mama. Yeah. I don't need Tony Stark. I need a few more mama's mama's just an M. It's an M. And underneath it says mama. Mama. Yeah. Yeah. I don't need Tony Stark. I need a few more mamas. Mamas. Mamas night.

Anyway, life altering update is that we're Cohen and Napanee, baby. Napanee. Napanee, Indiana. Yeah. And it's gonna be awesome. And you guys should come. Remember, we got a hundred people.

We put T on C. T on C, baby. Go crazy Scorsese. Sea. Team. Very good. Thanks. Thanks you guys. Yeah, we're going to, we're coming to Napany and that's because we want to go visit our, our friends at Main Street Roasters.

Yep. All I ever drink is Main Street Roasters. I have it for breakfast. I have it for lunch. I'll wake up middle of night and I'll have some. That's how much I love it for breakfast, I have it for lunch, I'll wake up middle of the night and I'll have some. That's how much I love it. Fun fact, Odette Jennings claims that her parents, I think, some relatives would wake up in the middle of the night,

drink coffee and go back to sleep. And I would say that's ridiculous, I don't believe you, except she's from Louisiana and I believe any crazy thing that she says because I'm like, they're different out there. If there was a ranking of states based on weird rituals you've never heard of, I feel like Louisiana would be at the top. And she said it with that Louisiana accent

that I'm like, you're not lying to me. You're telling. Yeah. It's like, yeah, they get up at three in the morning, they drink their mainstream roasters, they go right back to bed. Yeah, like Louisiana, like they, I think they're like the only American state that gets really into like Diaz de los Muertes.

I think they really like putting babies in pastries. Big time. And then they'll wake up in the middle of the night and just do weird crap. There's probably a lot more. I hope they wake up in the middle of the night and go to mainstreamroasters.com and shop.

It's getting out of hand. I think we've all experienced it to an extent. The Instagram secrets quote unquote out there where you have to comment something in order for them to tell you what it is on the post. Oh, is this the people who have like bots running their like comments and DMs and everything like yeah comment now and I'll send you the podcast right now. Right. Like it's like, hey, this recipe was amazing. Like you want to, you want this or, oh, I figured out the best schedule for this comment, you know, put this or like whatever.

I saw some the other day, you know, I'm in parent algorithms now. And so it's like, these shoes are the best shoes ever. They're dupes of, you know, whatever. They're only this much comment shoes and I'll send you a link. It's like, what, what are you gaining from me? Like, are you really getting this amazing list of, you know, Instagram followers from comments like that? I, it just kills me, dude.

I know, it's one of those things where I'm sure it's helpful, there's a reason people are doing it. I'm sure there's something algorithmically where it's like, if people are DMing you, they're more likely to see your content. So it's only gonna up your views, up your engagement. It creates more of a sense of community. It's all good things, but oh, it's annoying.

It's annoying. I want another recipe now. And maybe it's like an affiliate thing. I'm not gonna comment that, that's embarrassing. It's annoying. I want another recipe now. And maybe it's like an affiliate thing. I'm not gonna comment that, it's embarrassing. Also crazy, yeah. I'm not gonna comment cornbread. My verified account, cringe, it's chug.

That's very chugga chugga chug chug. Yeah, so anyway, it just kills me. And I've never commented. Yeah. I don't think, now that I can remember at least. Unless Dax Flames comes out with an e-course and says, I'll buy that. Comment enroll and I'll send commented. Yeah. I don't think, now that I can remember at least. Unless Dax Flames come out with an e-course and says, I'll buy that. Comment enroll and I'll send it to you.

See, but he wouldn't, he would be smarter than that to do something else. Cause yeah, it's just, I don't know. I don't like it. I don't like anything about it. That's good poetry. Yeah, it's just a frustrating, I understand to an extent if you're trying

to like build this thing, but this shoes thing, that's too far. You went too far over the shoes. That's when I wrote it on my notes is like, just say this is where I got it on Amazon or send a screenshot or whatever it is like. So Shuggy. Shuggy. Yeah. A lot of pickleball creators doing this thing. Oh, everyone. Discounts. Comment. Yeah. It's all over. Even the artist Jake, like JVKE. Oh yeah. Big fan of his, but he does the thing like, I'll send you a snippet of the song, it's like before he releases it,

like comment blank, and like, ah. Yeah. Ah, I don't want to. Maybe you should spoof it in some way, and like make it a very obvious, like make it like a Taylor Swift song, like, you know, loving this song right now, comment, you know, comment Taylor

and I'll tell you who it's by, where you can find it or something like that. Yeah, what are ways to kind of parody this? You make them comment a really long phrase or something really. Comment your biggest insecurity. You have to say something like they would get them kicked off of Instagram.

Like some like pro, I don't know, Russia propaganda, comment this in Russian and it'll be dimmed to you today. Comment Diddy below. I'm at North Korea Diddy Kamala Epstein. Just get flagged for every single day. Anyway, it just, it just kills me. I, I'm done with it. I'm not playing that game. I don't like being played. I like playing. Yeah, don't play me.

Don't play me. I play you. So. I'm with you. That's a good poll. Yeah. Anyway. Just wanted to talk about it.

Timon, it's time. In prompt two schmores, what's our category? Oh, no, no. Wait, do you have one? No, I don't have one yet. Good, good. So I was gonna say, what if he's been doing this too long? What if we give you the, you say the letter and he gives us like...

The category starts with C. Crunchy. Crunchy. Brad, you decide the order, you dominated last week. Okay, I'm going to go Jake, Timon, Brad. Okay. I'm going last this time, time in Brad. Okay. I'm going last this time. Okay.

Crunchy things. Hey. The Mount Rushmore of Crunchy. Mount Rushmore of Crunchy. Okay, okay, okay. I'm going to go, oh, what brand is it? The like Nature Valley. Oh yeah.

Nature Valley granola bars. Okay. That's goodola bars. Okay. That's good, good. Just so crunchy, so dry. Halfs in your mouth, halves on your lap. No, halves in the bag and then you throw it back later. Yeah, you shoot it back. I used to think those things were basically vegetables.

Like I was like, ah, this is so healthy for me. No taste. No, I loved them. I thought they tasted great. Oh. You don't think they tasted great? No, I thought you were gonna say that's how you used to think they were like No, sorry anything and now you're like, oh, this is great. No, I thought it was like I'm so healthy by eating these things And now I think it's like there they might as well be they have a sugar. Yeah, but they're so good You're right nature valley bars good time. Okay, I'm gonna say

Potato chips. Oh snap. Can I say chips? Wait, can I say chips? Did you say chips at the beginning? I'm just kidding. I'm kidding. Chips is good. Chips is good. I think you had like that three second window of like I'm not. Yeah. So just chips. Great. Straight up. All right. I'm going to go peanut butter, crunchy peanut butter. Crunchy peanut butter. Crunchy peanut butter's awesome. Okay. And then I don't know if I'm gonna get this one second time around, so I'm gonna go for it now, even though I don't know if it's truly a round two pick.

Seasons changing, I love crunchy leaves. Ooh. Been on some walks recently. Brad's gonna win again. Oh, no, no, no, no. Been on some walks recently, and the leaves are prime crunch right now. We haven't had any rain in a while, so they're crunching. Okay.

Hattie's been riding her bike on the curbs. So good. I mean, that's where they got the word from the, it says, it's an onomatopoeia from the sound crunch. Anyway, I'm going to say that certain type of snow, It's an onomatopoeia from the sound crunch. I'm going to say that certain type of snow, when you step on it, it's like. Oh dude, yeah, like packable snow. Yeah, snowball snow. Yeah.

Snow is awesome. It's like the same kind of the same noise as when like, oh, one time I saw a video of someone like chewing cornstarch or chewing some kind of like powdery thing just like And it's that can't I know the sound of like stepping on it. It's a it's a unique sound Yeah, anyway, crunchy snow. I wonder you know how they call it fully I think is like the sound effects guys or how they do that first for snow. Yeah, it'd be a fun Maybe it's the cornstarch. It's good vocab word fully fully Foley. Foley. I love that word. Similar term, do you know what it means?

ADR. Ty, do you know what ADR means? I know what it means, I can't think of the acronym. Oh, I have no idea what the acronym is. I don't know. May I push my button? Yes, you may push your button. Artificial.

It's just the redoing dialogue voiceover. That is it. A lot of times in movies and shows, they didn't, they thought they were getting clean audio, whatever they go back and editing it like, I wasn't as crisp as you wanted. Can you just like come in for a day and just redo certain. Fun fact, the entire old Disney movie, Swiss Family Robinson, all 80 yard because they every like the winds on the island they filmed out, they film all on location.

Everything was like such bad audio. They I think read it every single. Wow. So they have to go in the studio and match it up with their lips. At least everything on the, like, island. It was so obvious back in the day when they did that. They did it in suits.

I've been watching suits recently. I didn't notice it in the Swiss Family Robinson, though, when I watched it. Really? Pretty well done, from what I remember. It was pretty bad in suits for how, like, popular of a show that was. I was like...

Wow, I can't believe I didn't notice. It was like a 30-second little monologue of Meghan Markle saying something. And it was just like, oh, that audio is different than what it that was. I was like. Wow, I can't believe I didn't notice. It was like a 30 second little monologue of Meghan Markle saying something. And it was just like, oh, that audio is different than what it was. I was like, this is so bad and obvious. And like, they kept showing like the back of her head. You know, talking or something.

Oh, because it wasn't matching up very well. Like this does not sound like, yeah, the ambient noise. Whatever. ADR, fun fact. ADR. Okay. All right, Crunchy Snow. I've got two, yes.

I'm gonna go with Packing Peanuts. Okay. That right, crunchy snow. I've got two, yes. I'm gonna go with packing peanuts. Okay, that's good. Crunchy! One of the crunchiest. Packing peanuts? Packing peanuts? You think? At what point do they make the crunch?

Are you chewing on them? If you were to, extremely crunchy. If you were to break them up, wow, that was crunchy. That was loud and crunchy as they rustle around with each other. I'm thinking of packing peanuts is a little more having a little more of a squish to them. Really? I think they're like they're like hard. Maybe I'm thinking of the wrong packing. Styrofoam. OK, then that is pretty crunchy.

I was thinking of squishier things. Jake, Jake gets more things ordered to him than we probably do. But I kind of think with playing on this one, it's a little more nerf, not nerfy, but like, yeah. It's impromptu. My third pick is a woman from Seattle. Ah, good one. I just would imagine she's a very crunchy type person,

probably, Kind of still, yeah. Like makes her own oats and has chickens and, Hey, don't, don't specify too much here. It doesn't wear shoes. All right. Okay. Uh, one last, what's it called? I keep wanting to say the word, um, sourdough. What? Crutch, a woman from Seattle. Go ahead. Go ahead.

No, I wanted to say one of those things. It's fine. I'm going to say that vegan teacher on TikTok. Oh, I don't know. Which vegan teacher? That vegan teacher. So yeah, now we're going the opposite way with Crunchy. She was just the only person I could think of that is famously... I think that that aligns with Crunchy. Okay. Great. It's impromptu.

I'm going to say, yeah, now Jake really embellished his. Because I said packing peanuts. That's what you're going to say. Let's see. Um, I'll say, I'll say people who drink kombucha. Okay. People who drink kombucha. I don't think, uh, it's not just a boot.

You're doing a lot of other things. Generally, slacklining you would think, well, is this as more as just psychos? That stuff tastes disgusting. No, it doesn't, Timon. Yes, it does. What kind of you tried? I don't know. Just I've tried it.

Natural booch. You would like it. I guarantee you. Homemade is a little bit of a risk. Okay. I guarantee you I could get something you would love. It tastes like, really? Dude.

Yeah. So there's that much of a variety that can taste nasty. And there's also like a kind I would love. It tastes like really it dude. Yeah. So so there's that much of a variety that can taste nasty. And there's also like a kind I would like. What do you think about ice tea? OK, if it's like sweet, sweet, but not too sweet, but like pretty darn sweet. Ever had like raspberry iced tea? I don't like flavored iced tea. Jake, I'm not talking. OK, great. I thought I was helping your point. I will shut it because because kombucha, I don't think I've had flavored iced tea. Jake, I'm not talking to you. Okay, great. I thought it was helping your point.

I will shut it. Cause kombucha- I don't think I've had raspberry iced tea. I mean, if you really want to boil it down, it's similar to tea. But there's flavors of all these, kombucha by itself is kind of like tea flavor-y. But then you can add blueberry kombucha

or you can get peach kombucha or you can get all these different flavors. And all of a sudden it has carbonation and it tastes like soda. Okay. And it's awesome. I think I've had kombucha. Gabby, if you're listening, is that what I had at your house? Gabs. And I will say Catherine makes it at home now. So she's definitely on the crunchy list, I guess to an extent. But I will say that if you buy it from the store, it's normally more flavorful. Okay. And nice. Just trust me. I'll buy some, some. Okay. Sounds good. I was trying to save myself some time there to think about something else, but, uh, we're going to think while conveying a point. Yeah. Um, I'm going to go, I'm going to go carrots. How's it feel Seattle?

That was my last pick and I felt so good about it. Yeah, I love carrots. I should have done Seattle woman last. Not only are they wonderful, I think they're maybe the best vegetable out there as far as raw, they're also very satisfyingly crunchy. Yeah. Back to the drawing board. Carrots have a good crunch.

I'm going to say... Have you heard the fact about, sorry, your fingers have the same. Yeah. Like your bones. I've heard you could bite through your pinky finger. Your brain won't let you or something like that. Or, you know, like whatever.

I don't buy it, but still crazy to think about. Yeah. Your pinky is like a baby carrot, like amount of like strength to bite through. Yeah, apparently it feels like do have a lot of pressure in our bite. Isn't like, yeah, we're strong. 200, I don't know. But also a bone should be stronger than a carrot. It should be. But I guess it's not. I don't know. Not the pinky bone. According to somebody, scientists have never been wrong. So go ahead, time. I'm going to go eggshells. I said that weird. What? Eggshells.

You've been hanging out with old Denton Louise here too much. My last pick. I'm gonna go eggshells. Eggshells. Eggshells. Eggshells are crunchy. Yes. Very good. I would have to agree Okay Everyone loved the best part about the egg the shell dude dude. Oh, I love the shell. Yeah. All right, I'm not winning this thing anyway. I'm gonna go candy at, when you're watching, from the top. Yeah. The candy in a movie theater.

I'm talking Bunch-A-Crunch. Oh, you love Bunch-A-Crunch. I only eat it in the movie theater. I've never heard of that. Habit stacking. Atomic habit stacking Atomic habits tacking When you want to see a movie take in your your bunch of crunch, huh? Crunch yeah, buy it there to you sneak it in buy it there. Okay. Mm-hmm. You know, we live in a nation of laws

If we break sneak in our candy what separates us from the apes? Is that one of the ones you did for your schmores on candy one time? Could have been. If so, I probably didn't win that one either. I think I remember you talking about bunch of crunches. I love bunch of crunch on the movies. This is good. Good schmores of crunchy, just country, not country things.

Just crunchy. Jake said nature valley, granola bars, packing peanuts, woman from Seattle, bunch of crunch. Good list. Timon, chips, packable snow, that vegan teacher. Social media person. Someone maybe have heard of her. Egg shells, Brad said, peanut butter, crunchy leaves. Maybe I should take out crunchy leaves.

That's like, that's like leading the witness. Peanut butter, leaves, people who drink kombucha, carrots. Crunchy carrots. So anything else crunchy? Just yeah people who don't wear shoes. Yeah natural deodorant Natural deodorant people who use it. I use it really. Yeah, no, uh You stink no. Yeah. No, no aluminum is good Yeah. No, you stink? No.

Yeah, no aluminum is good. Well, I don't know. Maybe I, what's natural deodorant versus? I don't know. Like if someone, if you ever around someone and they smell really bad, it's because they're using like organic natural deodorant. Will you tell me if I smell bad?

I haven't noticed anything. I'm asking you in the future though. From this point forward, I will let you know. I think that's one of those things that's a tough friend thing to do, but it's like, hey, I'd rather know than you think it and it and not say it got a little bug. Hey, you smell bad. Hey, you smell bad But but choose when you tell me like don't choose me in the middle of the day when it's like I can't do anything about it Yeah, yeah. Yeah, I'll think through it. Okay. I'm sure you're fine. Okay

That's it things no, I don't mentions just Chips is good. Dude. Just chips is good, dude. Chips is good. I really like leaves is good. Just like twigs look same same line of leaves. Wigs is good forest. I'm trying to think of like food that I love. Celery or the crunch celery celery.

Like what about Cheetos? The like the regular cheese. That's a packing peanut. No, that's the Cheetos puffs. That's what I'm talking about. Yeah. Think about how crunchy those are. But the regular Cheetos are even crunchy. Also crunchy.

Anyway, crunchy M&Ms, is that what they were called? Animal cracker, yeah, I like crunchy M&Ms. Yeah. Anyway, that's been Schmores, brought to you by Good Ranchers. Yes. Mount Rushmore is what we call Schmores. Mount Rushmore in America.

Good Ranchers is from America as well. And what they're gonna serve you is not gonna be too country. If you would get something from them and it is country, you've done something wrong. You gotta cook it longer. Gotta. But they are still running their presidential promo,

I don't think mine's that bad. That makes it sound like you're like, yeah, I can't speak very well. Yeah. But it's like, all right, here's your credit card and box combo. Here you go. Have a good day. All right. Thank you. Thank you. Just a little harder of a K. Thank you. Something I've been doing recently in the,

you're going to think I'm such a dingus for doing this, in the drive-through lane at McDonald's specifically. That's where I go. I get Diet Dr. Pepper, a decent amount there, and use Apple Pay all the time for it. And I also use CarPlay on my phone. And so every time I unplug the CarPlay goes away kind of annoying, you know, the podcast I'm listening to goes away or whatever. And

so I've been starting to use Apple Pay while still trying to be plugged into my phone. And a little bit further. Yeah. So I'll get pretty close to the window and I'll just hold it there. And just every once in a while they'll like come to me or every once in a while I've learned that Apple pay's got a decent range on it. You don't have to be right next to it. You make them go 90. You don't have to literally tap it.

You can be in the vicinity, you know? And so it's just like, I mean, imagine. I've got the reader. All right, that is 1263. Okay. And I just, I mean, it's this close. Yeah, that's good enough right there for it. And I'll sometimes like kind of mime it a little bit,

like, oh, okay, okay. You like exaggerate how, but you're like the beginning part of an infomercial. Are you struggling with too many chords? Oh, oh. Okay. I mean, so close. I'm right there and and their thing they can reach it as far as they need to.

Their thank you. Thank you. And so yeah, just, I bet I'm about 90% right now though. Every once in a while I'll chicken out and I'll be like, ah, okay, sorry. Oh my gosh. I'm still plugged in. Sorry. Thank you. Thank you. Speaking of Apple Play, one thing I've been enjoying is I've got a, got a renter, got a tenant down in Alatha who pays me via Apple Cash. You ever seen this? I never had. He's like, is Apple Cash okay? Yeah, over text. I said yes without even knowing what it was. I was like, yeah, that's great. And then it just comes through to your phone. It's just like,

I have money. And so now I pay for everything with Apple Cash using his rent money. So it's like nothing costs money. It's like free. Yeah, it's free money. Yeah, everything's free. That's great. If it takes Apple pay, it's free for me. I love that. It's awesome.

That is great. Yeah, I've only had it. One of my buddies who like worked for Apple like sends it. It's like it's all those things where it's like you're trying to prove a point at this point. Tech, bro. Yeah, I use Apple pay. You'd love vest. Like give get out of here, man.

Yeah. Shout out Christian. I think he sent me $150 one time and there was one time where like I use Apple Pay. You love Vest. Like, get out of here, man. Shout out to Christian. I think he sent me $150 one time. And there was one time where I never used it, because it's always just defaults to my credit card. And there was one time where my credit card wasn't working or something. I was like, oh, snap.

I have $150 here I could use, I think. And it worked just fine. So, interesting. I've been loving the Apple Watch quick double tap. Hold it up just like a super quick. I don't have to take out my phone or what. Whoa. I've been loving the Apple watch quick double tap. Hold it up. Just like a super quick another take out my phone Oh New hack just dropped you can Apple pay on the watch. Yeah. Oh Double tap the big button. No the smaller one

It's you might have to set it up might have set it up folks. Yeah double press. It's not working We're triplets We'll figure it out, we'll figure it out. We will figure it out. We're triplets, we will figure it out. We got something to brainstorm. This is one of those things, hey, kind of fun to do it on the podcast, why not? Next year, you know, next summer, next spring, whatever. Gulf Shores, Ghost Runners, getaway,

is what I wanna talk about. So my dad and a little lady by the name of Tammy, I forget her last name, her daughter goes to SBU. I think she lives in Pennsylvania. She was at the Branson trip. Oh, they were awesome. Good hair. Great hair, dare I say.

I think Tammy brought up to my dad, she was like, I would go on these Ghost Runners getaway, like beach trips, if they had a separate house for like 50 and older or something like that. And my dad was like, oh my gosh, that's the greatest idea I've ever heard. So we need to figure out how difficult is this? Is it, you know, I don't know if they have to be

right next to each other, but you'd want them to be extremely walkable. Like you can't go more than three houses away. Ideally on the beach again. And then what's the age cut off or you maybe you just select your house. Yeah. Yeah. We have a lot of options. Like you want the chill house or which house do we stay in? I don't know. Set expectations of like, this is, this is this kind of house. It'll be quiet hours after 9pm. Yeah. You know. Yeah. Oh, we got King of Queens mugs already in the cabinet for you guys.

Right, we have VHS of mash. Like... All the coffee is just, I know it's supposed to be mainstream. We put mainstream roasters in a folders, a folders bin for you, just so it, cause I assume that's what you drink anyway. Exactly, yeah.

The newspaper's out. The newspaper is out. Yeah, what else? There's no wifi. Yeah. Don't worry about it. You guys won't ask for it anyway Yeah, you can listen you can listen to the podcast on we're gonna do an FM transmitter So you can just turn on the radio for that just all these old technology things and everyone gets binoculars And I think you like those everyone gets slippers customized slippers for lounging around the house.

Now, I've had this. Tammy and I talked just briefly about it, because I've had the thought of I would love to somehow have a second house, especially if we did it. We talked about all sorts of different things. One of the things was, what if we did it for two weeks next time, or something like that?

And I was like, I can't be gone for two weeks for my family. That's too much for everybody. And so I was like, what if there was another house next door, two doors down or whatever, that had my family and my parents and Jake's parents and Rachel's almost like a family house? And it is a fun idea. So I think let's gauge interest in this. I think that's the main thing is like,

are there enough people out there that would be excited about this? But then there's also like, no, you guys can all come and hang out on the beach with us. Or, you know, it's all inclusive, if you will. Yeah, like you're invited. When we do the sunset dolphin cruise, everyone's coming. Everyone comes, yeah.

Everyone has our meals together. Yes. But this is, you're not probably going to likely, I don't know, whatever, play bank with us. Or you can, you can do whatever you want with us. But you can just go back to your house and there's probably, whatever, play bank with us. Or you can, you can do whatever you want with us. But you can just go back to your house and there's probably someone there

who just wants to chit chat. Yeah, just quietly. There will be no Bluetooth speakers ever. No, and we have a no Jensen rule. Jensen's not allowed over there. Jensen would just talk your ear off, not let you go to sleep. Yeah, I don't know why exactly. It just feels like he's not allowed over there.

Too young, too cool. He's too trendy, yeah. Tempting. He's like, what let you go. Yeah. I don't know why exactly. It just feels like he's not allowed over there. Too young, too cool. He's too trendy. Yeah. Tim tempting. He's like, what are you wearing there? You know, I don't understand your shirt. Yeah. So it's a Jensen free zone. Yeah. That's a good word too. Okay. Man. Yeah. I like it. And then I can hear some ghosts. He's being like, I'm 25, but that's how sounds pretty good. That's my vibe. Yeah. No Bluetooth speakers. I hate those things. I did love the moms that came on the trip this year It was oh, yeah, Debbie and Odette. Yeah, but I bet they would also be like yeah that other house sounds pretty nice Yeah, that sounds even better and we could even shuttle them over if we needed to golf cart golf cart them over We got golf carts a must. Yeah, that's great

Yeah, so maybe we put a pullout or I don't know just just let's use the Facebook page somewhere or another to kind of get this conversation going. I was gonna say maybe not Facebook and then I thought, actually for 50 and up, definitely Facebook. Another thing too, because I know you guys want summer. Summer is easier for people who are teachers or have kids which is a lot of our audience. But Brad has told me and maybe he told you guys, but like almost everything is twice as expensive

in the summer. So it's just everybody's costs go up, which is not as fun. So that's why we've done April, May. It's tricky. It's really tricky. So, but continuing to think about it and we don't have any definitive plans yet. So I love the idea.

Yeah, somehow let's gauge some interest and gauge some, I don't know, metrics. Even location. Cause the house from last year, Gulf Shores, we loved it, but it's already fully booked. Yeah. I mean, like all next year. So that's not really an option.

There are some other Gulf Shores ones potentially available. But I think even the city is somewhat up for grabs. I mean, Gulf Shores, like the airport situation was an idea, you know, maybe there's a beach that's even better. I know, I know. I would love suggestions on that because I think in some ways, I'm sure that the closer to the airport, the more convenient,

the more expensive everything is around it. Yeah, it's true. But you know, where's the give and take there? So always, always happy to get advice from other people. We're not acting like we know what we're doing completely with any of this stuff. So I love that dude. Let us know.

Senior house, seniors, seniors and freshmen. Yeah. Yeah, I love it. I love it. Just want to get that going. Shout out Tammy. Shout out Tammy. She was, yeah, like I said, so wonderful.

Okay, timing, a couple episodes ago, a couple of weeks ago, who knows? It might've been, um, three months ago, uh, you said something if you're not, I think it was quip lash, right? If you're not, if you're not playing quip lash, then what are you doing? Yep. And I said, we need to have a segment where it's, if you're not blank, then what are you doing? So we all did a little brainstorm and we have some answers here. So let's let's do if you're not blank, then what are you doing? Timon, what can you play the sound effect for when we start this segment? Yeah, go ahead.

If you're not blank, then what are you doing? Nice. Thanks. Okay. If you're not using... Get ready to do it after he does it. Oh yeah. Yeah, well, I know. It's how we rehearsed. Okay.

There's definitely not a goat in here. If you're not using soft toilet paper, what are you doing? Life's too short to take a shortcut on butt wipes. Did not think you were gonna go shortcut. Life's too short to take a shortcut on butt wipes. Did not think you were going to go shortcut. Life's too short to take a shortcut with some hard paper. I was like, whoa, dude. I look around at people, and I see a lot of short cutting

people. Dude, last episode, you were like, I had a healthy day. And I was like, golly, this is damp in here, dude. I don't even notice. Yeah, it just feels like there's certain things you go name brand on, there's certain things you can cut a corner on. I'm not saying it has to be Charmin,

we're not sponsored by anybody, but get your heinie some softness. Get it something soft, get it something just, there's a difference. It shouldn't feel like you're in a public restroom when you're in your home. Amen. Don't get Scott to a paper.

There are places to skimp, places to skimp, but don't skimp on paper. Places you can skimp, water, use the sink, who cares? You can also skimp rocks on water. Skimp. It's skimperaneous. I bet there's people in Arkansas right now who say, that's how I say it, because they are the same people

who say, oh yeah, you chunk something across the room. I say, no, you chuck something across the room. 100%, that's a Southern thing. It's like Oklahoma, Arkansas, Texas. They say you chunk it across the room. Catherine's a chunker. She would probably skimp a rock. No, you chuck it.

She's added an extra consonant in there. You don't chuck anything? Also the girl who started to be organized last week, she was like, yeah, I have a flaw though. The girls were calling around. She calls it like, oh yeah, I'm going to be cleaning out your closet. No.

And like, we got to figure that out. That's just wrong. That's not even like up for the beat. Regionally. Closet? Closet's not too messy. I'm sorry mama. I never meant to hurt you. I never meant to make you cry, but tonight I'm cleaning out my closet.

That's ridiculous. Yeah. I didn't quite catch it. She was like, okay, I think we'll start Rachel's closet. And then like the other girls start giggling and I was like, did I do something? What are they laughing at? They're like, oh, we just always make fun of Chrissy cause she says Claus and I was like, wow. Yeah. Figure that out.

Oh, Rachel's got her wedding dress in here. Oh, is it egg shale or cream? That one's for you, Timon. Oh, I like how it's color quartered. That's nice. Quarter dated. Jake, don't you say because. I feel like P.

Oh, I feel like you totally do. Oh, no one's ever said this to me before. I haven't noticed that. I'm sure you not. If anyone has ever heard that, well, I did it because I did it because maybe not. Maybe it's just sometimes maybe someone else say because because how come I don't hear it. I don't know.

Have you guys noticed Trey say literally literally? That's a, that's a flaw. That's his feature pediment. I noticed on literally on someone's like roasting you guys. And they said that he doesn't pronounce ing. Oh, that's just how everyone talks. But it wasn't like saying like reading or whatever. It's he says reading. He doesn't say the reading. He says in instead of in. I think that's what he was mentioning. Which I've noticed. I mean, a lot of people do that. Oh, interesting. Yeah, except that was just leaving off the G. I was like, oh, that's how 100% of people I grew up with talk.

Exactly. Me too. You're stinking. You're freaking. What are you doing? Yeah. Singing karaoke. You don't say singing karaoke. You feeling okay? Yeah. You feeling okay? What are you doing? You walking? you feeling okay? What are you doing? You walking? Dude, yeah. What are you doing?

Gross, weirdo. Yeah. Hello, what are you doing? How are you doing? Please leave me alone. Yeah, I was doing better before I heard that G. Yeah, go back in the closet. Because.

Because. Because. I've been sitting a lot of voice memos that act as like voice overs for like different content we're doing like, oh, I'm away from time and we need a voiceover. Be really careful of the plosive sounds. I do this.

You're your own little pop filter. This week I teamed up with that pickleball guy. It makes a massive difference. It's pretty smart. Everyone out there, I want you to stop what you're doing. And I want you to put your hand in front of your mouth. I want you to just make the, exaggerate the P sound. Puh, puh.

Probably hear it even with his mic for a little bit. But then you put your shirt or any type of fabric in front of that and go puh, puh. It blocks all of it. It's magical. And it works. It works so good. The voice is still going through there.

Yeah, the audio waves get through, but the breath, the wind does not. That's smart. It's fun. Good job, Jake. Stinking. Did you just come up with that? I did not. You heard. Well, I was there. Is that not your next pick? If you're not, if you're not using a pop filter. Remember, I mean, for two years, we use the microphones with the pop filter. I'm sorry. Not the pop filter using your, I know the pop filters. Oh, the shirt. I did come up with that. Yeah. I was like, what do I have on me? I like test it with my hands a little bit. I was like, and I could still, it gets through my fingers. Yeah. Shocker. I mean, isn't that what this thing is basically for us to do? Yeah. I feel like the actual microphone is like maybe here. It's kind of like, I don't know. I don't want to take it off. I don't like it. No, it's right here. So we've only got to one and I'd run in run in Yeah, that just soft toilet paper yeah, hey if you're not

Utilizing public trash cans, then what are you doing? Just like okay, they raised some of your cars very good. That's very good. Okay I gave Catherine a hard time the other day because her van was a little messy And she's like oh really we want to talk about that like you tell me your your truck doesn't have a bunch of trash in I'll go let's go to my truck right now And we did and I was proven a hundred percent right because every time I get out of my car I Look around I grab whatever trash is there and I throw it away Yeah, that's always a try that's a very good habit and And that I don't have as much as I wish I did.

Just like a quick, just filling up a gas, there's always this trash can right there. Always. Gas has got great throw away spots. There's always a public trash can guys. That church, we don't have one outside. Sam Sievers, you know, I know you're a listener. Figure it out.

You have a public trash can out there. What is my tithe money going towards? Anyway. Chipotle, big old trash cans. I like to take advantage of when I'm going into a Chipotle. Yeah, absolutely. Also, recently, because of the new driveway, I had to move the Bondi truck back a little bit. Now this blocks access to the side of my house. Don't worry.

I'm getting somewhere. I put the trash bins just basically in front of my house. I don't have an HOA. Who cares? Now my car is parked next to the trash bin. No excuse. Now every time you get out of the car, you should be throwing things away. It's nice.

Yeah, that's it. That's it. That's my. So that's my stick and update timing. If someone got in your car right now How scale of one to ten what would you know the messy scale be probably like a four or five? That's not okay? Yeah, I'm a part five about your closet. I Don't know I don't actually closet is probably eight. It's like yeah, what about bed vorm just cuz

The only like, um, my clothes that I wear are just like in drawers, but then the closet is just all like anything like nice hanging up. But then there's just shoes littering the floor because my brother buys and sells shoes, sneaker head. And so like it's that plus just like random shoes you don't wear and they're just not lined up. How about your bathroom? How about your bathroom? No. What about you? Are you keeping it clean these days? Yes. Room, kitchen, everything.

Yeah, really got to keep it. Keep it how it is, which is nice. Car. Car. No, it's it's in the middle. Okay, utilize those public trash cans, brother. Alright, thank you, brother. I believe in you. Time on your turn.

Um, I'm gonna say, if you're not, hold on. Whoa, what the heck? It's at the end anyway. But there's something before, right, where you like say, hold on, what was it? Oh, this is good, let's see what he's gonna do here. What did you do at the beginning? There was two involved. I'm just going to use one after I say it. I don't know what he's talking about. It's fine. It's just like when you first introduced the segment, you said something to start it off

and we use the sound effect. Then you said your thing and then we use it again. I will wait and see what you do. And maybe that'll jog. No, I'm just going to go how I did it for Brad. This is anyway, it's not even a good, this isn't even a good one to say. I think you're wrong. I let him go, just let him go. I know that we're too involved in the beginning.

All right, go ahead. I can't wait for you to listen back to it. I'm just gonna say, if you're not a letterbox, what are you doing? I'm on a huge record. Thank you. I'm on a big letterboxed kick and I want it just like Even if you watch maybe a movie a month explain what it is. Sorry

It's an app or app slash website where you just like keep track and log any movies you watch and you can rate them You can review them, but I think it's just like even if you aren't like a big movie person But you're just like I don't know just like even if you watch a movie a month just like log it and review it and if I like if you're my friend I just love to see that it's just so fun to see like really someone I know kind of be a movie critic for like a little bit or just like yeah I love to see what movie someone watched it's just fun yeah it sounds like Goodreads but for movies sure Rachel and the girls like Goodreads, but for movies. Sure. Rachel, the girls like Goodreads. One of my buddies, shout out Cookie, Kyle Cook.

He got really into movies this summer, did a bunch of reviews. He randomly said the movie Palm Springs was really good. I was like, really good. Really? Anyway, I've seen it before. I was like, I don't remember one to watch it again. But then he was like, yeah, here's my review about why I think it's so good. And I read it and I said, cookie, be honest with me. Did you write this or did chat GPT write this? And he was offended by that. He's like, I wrote it. He's like, I was an English major before I eventually became an education major. Uh, and I was like, I don't know if it's a,

it's a slam to think that chat GPT wrote it necessarily. I don't know. He was offended by it. Do you think it's offensive to say, did Chad GPT write this for you? Yeah. If you're an English major, I think that's offensive to someone. Wow. Do you use artificial help to do this? No, I went to school to do this. It was, I don't know. It was, I think, are you just saying it's well, well written.

It's well written proper grammar. It sounds professional. We text a lot and you have, you know, you misspell stuff sometimes Yeah, usually I think you could tell it's chat GPT written if there's like a lot of adjectives if it feels like you're trying To get to a word count. So yeah, maybe you just have a lot of adjectives. Anyway, I was like I wasn't trying to be offensive I was just more like wow, this is well done. It doesn't necessarily even sound like you, you know, like maybe that is a I don't know. Whatever. But also Palm Springs, three point eight out of five on letterbox average. Pretty good. Pretty good. Pretty good. Eight out of ten.

Stinking good. Shout out, Cookie. Who is it back to me? Back to you? You. If you're not making if you're not. How should I word this? If you're if you're part time're not, how should I word this? If you're part-time job isn't just waiting for the chiefs to go down in a football game and then betting on them to win, then what are you doing?

As Rachel and I were watching this and the chiefs go down 10, you throw a little on the money line and the chiefs win like they always do. And I told Rachel, I said, this could legitimately be someone's part-time job. Just do this every game. I mean, the Super Bowl was every playoff game.

I mean, just like, just wait for them to go down. Teams have scored an opening drive touchdown on the Chiefs every single game this year. They've been losing in every game. They come back and win. Yeah, I was going to say, how many games have they lost though? I mean, you could legitimately, I mean, obviously they're're gonna lose at some point this season. It might have already happened You know this past Sunday who knows but the winds are gonna outweigh the losses and you just do that every single week Just yeah, some weeks you're gonna lose five grand, but some weeks you're gonna make 12 grand

Well, you're really going after it. Yeah, I'm not I'm betting $10 at a time. But if you wanted a job It's a that's all you could do. Yeah, I have a hundred percent. Just do that. Yeah, I mean, we talked about it with, yeah, Mahomes comes back all the time. So it's like, just, yeah, rely on that happening more often than not and make it, make it rain.

Yeah, Mahomes being down 10, he has a better winning percentage than several Hall of Fame quarterbacks doing their entire career. So, that's on Mahomes being down 10, he has a better winning percentage than a several Hall of Fame quarterbacks doing their entire career. So that's on the homes. It is. Um, Hey, Tyron, if you're not watching NFL red zone, what are you doing? Back to back. Yeah, I was like, I'll go on top of it. Uh, once you ever experienced an NFL red zone, which covers every game essentially, and just goes back and forth with the best parts of them live. It is so hard to just watch one game with commercials. There's no commercial red zone. Yeah. It's amazing to like listen to this guy, Scott Hansen, try to cover all the games. Well,

it's unbelievable. You, you know so much more about what's going on every single Sunday. It almost makes me sad when the chiefs play at the beginning of the day, because then you don't get to watch the good red zone. But it is it is one of those things where you once you experience it, you don't go back. Yep. So if you're not watching NFL, what are you doing? If you like football at all, get red zone. Yes.

I think you can add it on to your YouTube TV for like 10 bucks. Yep. No brainer. Time. I feel like matter all annoyingly movie related but I'm just gonna go for it cuz it's all I could think of get really annoyed at this yeah what what is it what kind of really movie all right I'm gonna say if you're not listening to here I am from the Spirit movie. What are you doing by Brian Adams or something?

I tried so hard. So annoyed. Golly. My family just watched Spirit, Stallion to the Cimarron or whatever that like older Dreamworks movie and the songs are really good. So I thought of that It's awesome, man If you're not figuring out a way to install configure remote start in your car this winter then what are you doing? Thank you

I don't know the exact ways how to do it, but I know even if you don't have a nice car, even if you don't have a new car, there are ways to like aftermarket, install yourself a remote start and oh, it'll change your life once you get in there and it's already warm for you in the middle of winter. It's 100% true, yeah.

Figure it out. Better remote start in the winter or the summer? Winter's better. Summer's nice still. Yeah. But some people like a hot better. Summer's nice still. Yeah. But some people like a hot car. No one likes a cold car. Rachel likes the hot car.

Rachel likes the hot car. That's a good word. And it's like, you need to start it for the good of your car as well. Win, win, win. Yeah, that'd be warmed up. What does that do? Does it mess with the Tesla at all?

Like, does it have to heat up at all? It's just like better, probably the same sense that gas cars, it's like better to get them warmed up a little bit. Yeah. It's just the same, it's like, hey, it's not ideal for like a engine at 20 degrees to all of a sudden be asked to like propel a car.

So if you can warm it up and start getting it, getting it moving a little bit, it's supposed to be better for the longterm healthier battery in your engine. All right, Tymon, it's October. It's beautiful weather outside. Yeah. Not too hot, not too cold.

If you're not driving with the windows down, then what are you doing? I thought of this the other day. I was like, this is good weather right now. Brad's probably going heat on the feet right now, windows down. Not even heat on the feet yet. I'm just-

Just windows down. It's been a nice, like it's been a mild 75, 77 degrees. Just great time to just drive with the windows down. You feel like you're more involved in your community when those windows are down, you know? Like you feel like you're one, you know- There's Brad, public servant just with the windows down. I just feel like I'm more likely to like, I don't know, like interact, not even mainly non-verbally, but like somebody's crossing the crosswalk. If your windows windows down you're more likely to be like doing hey go ahead there Miss get your hands full

Come on Yeah, so that's a good one. I should do it more there was one night this past week We had sane volleyball and it was like 60 degrees. So I was like, oh great t-shirt shorts It was a cold 60. I don't know what was going on. Also quite the crew come Celia came hoodie pants and blanket Hannah Warner shows up Daniel Mink Sarah Ming and Hannah Rowe all there. He's quite the crew. Yeah, but also freezing cold I played the socks on You played say volleyball socks. Yeah, it's saying with cold

Took him off after one game. They got a little heavy, you know, they start to get sand on him And then you're just dragging weight. You know, Oh, that's amazing to think about. Did anybody else? Were you the only one? No, I think Rachel and someone else did too. Yeah. Yeah. She's got a in my head. That is so funny. You lose so much heat out of the feet. 100% cold. Heat on the feet. That's really funny. Okay. Timing team. This one's going to be a little bit different of a sentence structure. Okay.

If you, if you are listening to music at just like a very low volume, what are you doing? My it's about the arts again. Yeah. Here he goes. Mr. Artsy. My take in this might just be a teenage thing, but I just don't understand people that drive and just like have the music just like where you can barely, you can just kind of hear it.

Like they're by themselves in doing that? Or you mean with people? Sure, or just in general. Like, I mean, I'd say by themselves, it's more weird, but just like even with people, I guess it depends on your comfort level or like how much, you know, you want to like really have like a good conversation, but it's like, just turn up the music a little bit so you can actually hear the like music a little bit. So you can actually hear the chords a little bit. Instead of just the S's.

Kind of just hear the snare drum and the. Yeah, you just hear what part of the drum they're hitting. This could be any song. If you're by yourself, yeah, that's weird to listen to the music still, but very quietly. But if you're with other people, think you gotta turn it down a little bit. Like you ever rode with Isaac,

his music's too loud and then you're trying to talk to him. You're like, are you gonna turn this down or should I turn this down? That's exactly the person I was thinking of and it drives me crazy. It makes me think he might have a hearing problem. Like he must not hear it the same way I do. I have wondered if I have a bit of a hearing thing where I like am going a little deaf.

Maybe it's because I do listen to music pretty loud. Ah, it's effective. We were watching, we were having a movie night with my friends at one point. Hey, here he goes with the movies again. Letter box. It just felt so quiet to me. But it was like, I was like,

can we turn it up a little bit? They're like, well, we'll blast it. Movies are different, I think. What? You gotta get everything. Movies, different. I think what you got to get everything. Yeah. You're watching the movie. You're listening to music.

I don't know. Yeah. But you're but yeah. Yeah. I don't know. I think you can you can do you can multitask while listening to music. You're not meant to multitask and listen to or watch a movie. Sure.

You know, like, like, I don't love unless I really want to hear the announcers. Obviously, I don't love, unless I really want to hear the announcers, obviously I don't love when we watch sports super loud. You know what I mean? Like, I don't, you know, I don't mind hearing, I think sports is well designed to be kind of quiet. Like I feel like everything's really compressed where it's like, I don't know. I just feel like I've noticed that. Like sometimes like turn it up. I want to hear what they're talking about here, but like, I also want to talk to Jake about what I'm seeing on here. Yeah. And you can't do, yeah. I am absolutely one of your psychopath people, Tymon, because I, I often will drive just completely silent. If not silent, then

sometimes if I'm in the right mood, if the windows are down, yeah, sure. We'll, we'll crank it up, but it's, it's less and less. And I used to be, like I was so proud of my car back in the day, had a great like Bose sound system. Awesome sound. And so like I would crank that thing. And now I'm like, this is nice every once in a while. But like, I don't know. There's certain times where it's like,

I'm listening to the music and there's other times where it's like music is on right now. You know what I mean? I'm with you, Tommy. If I got to listen to music, I'm gonna make it where I can hear it. Or I'm just not gonna listen at all. Yeah. You know what I mean? I'm with you, Timon. If I'm gonna listen to music, I'm gonna make it where I can hear it. Or I'm just not gonna listen at all.

Yeah. Gotta hear it. Gotta hear it. Bring it in here. I'm gonna go ahead and say, this is not even funny. This is self-help. If you're not exercising at least once a week, then what are you doing?

How hard is it? God. Figure it out. Not you timing to sell. To people not exercising at least once a week. Go on a walk, baby steps. No matter the temperature. There is a time in the week where you can get bundled up or cooled off and up.

You can go on a walk. It's so helpful. No such thing as bad weather. Go exercise. Do something. Do some pushups in your house. It's room temperature there. You think.

Exercise once a week. You have a room. You'll live longer, depending on your genetics. It's mainly that. Surely it's not a bad thing to exercise. I don't think it's a bad thing. I'm not even asking you to eat healthier. I'm just saying just exercise once a week.

Eat however you want, baby steps. Do whatever you want, yeah. Just exercise. That's it, just do it. Jake the health coach. Yep. All right, oh, my turn. Does he does exercise? That's it. Just do it. Jake, the health coach. Yep. All right.

Oh, my turn. Um, uh, if you're not coming to nappiny, what are you doing? I was on top of it. Yeah. Took you at 18 times. 18 times. It took you like what 18 times I can do it after 17 max. Yeah. You're not coming.

What are you, what are you doing? People out there? I'm just, I'm just going to go ahead and motivational speech right now. People out there every time we do an event or like, I'm so bummed. I miss this. I have such FOMO for this. Oh, Grande Buu looks like so much fun. Oh, F12.

Oh, these beach trips. Oh, Branson. don't say it again. Go to GhostRiders.live slash MSR, buy your ticket. They're cheap ticket, $25, and they get you basically $25 worth of stuff at Main Street Roasters. We're not trying to make money off this, we're just trying to hang out with you. So come to Main Street Roasters,

come to Napanee October 26th. If you want to see Jay, if you want to see B, come to Main Street Roasters. But if you want to see T on C, you should also come to Major Roachers. Yeah, it's no facto. Timon, you all out? Yeah, I'm done.

Finally, no more fine arts. If you're not staring at a screen all the time, then what are you doing? My last one, I don't know what I meant by this. If you're not saying the phrase crazy Scorsese, then what are you doing? Yeah. I just wrote that down.

So just make sure it's in your vernacular. Make sure you buy the shirt. Go crazy Scorsese. And go crazy Scorsese. When you're about to like really do something artistic, but good. I think keep it open-ended. Okay. You're about to.

You're about to go crazy Scorsese. Yep. That's it. Yeah. It could be, it could be positive't it's a Rindleweaver. You could say it after like a first kiss On like a doorbell camera. Yeah. Yeah. Oh Go crazy Scorsese That's fun crazy Scorsese Which other boys about see what they mean We tell the boys about see what they mean. All right.

My last one. Hey, Tom, if you're not drinking cortados, then what are you doing? Thought I was. What do you know about cortados? Not much at all. I'll tell you about the cortados. Okay. You can get them in the closet and no, I really love the taste of espresso.

I think it's good. I also like lattes, but so often with lattes, I'm like, this tastes like milk. It doesn't even, I want it to taste like coffee. Lattes is espresso, maybe like 20%. I don't know. I don't know the exact ratios. 20% espresso, 80% milk, something like that.

Maybe 30, 70, whatever. Cortados are 50, 50. And 50, 50, 50, 50, 50, 50. So it has some milk to kind of cut the strength of it a little bit, not to just be like, well, I'm just drinking straight, strong shot of espresso, but it's also, it tastes like coffee. It's so good. Often I've learned, I've kind of been doing a little Cortado tour, little cortado tour around the town. And they will often, you kind of feel like a cool person, like I'm a coffee guy, because they will give you,

it comes in like a tiny cup, like half the size of a normal glass. And then they'll give you sparkling water on the side as well. And you're supposed to drink some of the espresso and then you're supposed to drink some sparkling water to kind of clear your pal a little bit kind of fun. And then I learned McLean's that I was at McLean's the other day. I was like, can I get a cortado? Like, yeah, you want everything with it. And I was like, acting like I knew what else I'm like, yeah, sure.

Did we talk about this in the podcast? I think I talked about it separately. Timon can't remember. Okay. Timon's zoned out half the time. Letterboxd. But they gave me cortado. They gave me Timing? Timing? Timing? Timing? Timing? Timing? Timing? Timing? Timing? Timing? Timing?

Timing? Timing? Timing? Timing? Timing? Timing? Timing? Timing?

Timing? Timing? Timing? Timing? Timing? Timing? Timing? Timing? Timing? Timing? brings out different flavors in the coffee. When you have this dark, it's a fun little thing, little treat for you. So all about the Cortado life right now. I don't want to overwhelm myself with caffeine.

So I don't want to get four shots of espresso in my latte, but I also don't want too much milk. And then I'm just drinking milk. So, I drink Cortado, what are you doing? I'm drinking it, what are you doing? I can't wait for time to listen back to this and realize he did not do a sound at the beginning. I can't wait for you guys to back to this and realize he did not do a sound at the beginning I can't wait for you guys to listen to it and realize it's just amazing like how much I know you're wrong

No, but I feel the exact same way Wow Do you want to do a little wage? sure Name your claim, baby. Go crazy Scorsese. Oh just straight money. Yeah Yeah. Why not? Clean out the other person's closet. Oh, that sounds like work. No, just kidding. The other loser. What way did you read thinking? Um, hey, if, yeah, talk to us. If time and loses, you get to pick out his outfit for the first time that T's on C. And vice versa. Cause you think, you think that I'm also right. I'm also with you. So you had to pick out our outfits for first time you're on scene.

Sure. Great. Great. Hope you like to look like Mrs. Nesbitt. Yeah. First time and time it's just in drag. Like, okay. Oh, take it a little far.

Oh, that's, yeah, that's a fun, innocent thing. Cause time is going to realize he's wrong in seven seconds when we're done with this podcast. But the thing is he can edit it however he wants. So I won't do that. I won't do that. Well, no, it's ADR. We got it.

All right, let's wrap this puppy up. Y'all got Wednesday of the week. It is Wednesday. Wednesday. It's wrap this puppy up. Y'all got Wednesday of the week? It is Wednesday. Wednesday, it's Wednesday on a Wednesday. Let's see. I do. Yeah, go ahead. I forgot that I did this and signed up for it,

so it's always pleasant when you realize you have plans. I signed up for a pickleball tournament this weekend, locally, here with Isaac. Little tournament prep for Vegas. So we're playing like upper level, you know, really get us right, get this game tournament ready. And this whole time was thinking it was, you know, obviously just this weekend, found out it's tomorrow,

which feels like, feels cool and right. It feels like when I was a senior in high school and I technically graduated, but we still had baseball games and I just got to like do nothing all day and just like play baseball on a Thursday. Okay, cause tomorrow for context. Oh yeah, sorry. A Friday. Tomorrow's Friday.

Yeah. It's like, sweet. I wake up and go play pickleball. Yeah. I'm supposed to be at work. Good thing you have a flexible schedule or else that could have been real bad. Yeah. What do other people do?

There's 16 teams that are, it is a massive tournament. Is everybody taking off work? They all are. Bold prediction. You guys are going to win this tournament. That would be crazy. I don't think we will

I think I think there's something about like maybe you're maybe up to your competition. I think cuz I think you're pretty consistent I think Isaac's a little streaky, but Isaac if he if he's ready for it, he'll he'll go for you can dominate Yeah, yeah, it's fun to have him as a partner. Anyway, I'm just excited about that. Just like a Friday morning Just get to play pickleball and Scott's also playing in the morning. So we'll get to be there with him. His partner TJ signed with Friday. I didn't even know about this. He's like signed as like an athlete,

not as like a content creator or anything. But he's going to use Friday paddles now and pay for his entry fee. Yada yada. Nice. Kind of fun. That's awesome. My win of the week is just still the Royals.

It's just been fun. It's just baseball. Yeah. Didn't whatever the Royals. It's just been fun. It's just baseball. Yeah. Didn't whatever the Royals TV contract right now, like makes it almost impossible to watch them during the year. It's about to get worse too. Do you see that? No.

The parent company who owns Bally Sports is dropping like 11 of the 12 teams that they currently broadcast. They're only keeping the Braves. So there's like 11 teams that have to find a new deal or restructure or something before next season. So maybe then we'll be able to get better. Yeah. Anyway, all that to say I don't I have not watched the Royals.

I've been a very below average fan. I know the guys on the team to an extent, but like, whatever. And it's been so fun to like root for them. I'm not like into it like I was the first playoff run they had in 2014 and 15, but like, I'm trying to do my dude like part as a Kansas City fan here. And it's just been fun to like watch them win. It's like, yeah, we're in the playoffs.

Of course we're gonna win. Playoff baseball is just fun. It is, it's awesome. And I'm excited for it to come back. Like we're gonna have a game in Kansas City now, which is awesome. So playing the Bronx Bombers. Is it possible?

I know at one point it was possible that the Chiefs and Royals would both have a home game on the same day in the same parking lot. I don't think it's, so they both have games. This is Wednesday, this episode is coming out. They had games on Monday night at the same time. Okay, but just away. I think it's in New York though.

Oh, okay. I think. Yeah, maybe a different team. Yeah, I knew there was some scenario where it was gonna be like, I guess the Rose have to play in the afternoon Yeah, and the Chiefs will play at night and we'll try to clear out the park. How awesome would that be? Oh, that'd be so cool. It'd be crazy. Yeah, it'd be that'd be a mess. There's no way

Yeah, cuz like normally the Chiefs game like there's so many people that are tailgating in parking that like it goes It bleeds into the Royals parking lot a ton. Yeah Cuz yeah, if you don't know that these two teams share a parking lot, they are basically the same stadium. Yeah, it's awesome. But yeah, I think the Royals games at six thirty and the Chiefs games probably at seven. Yeah, so that's cool. Anyway, it's it's fun. Timing you got to win.

I do. And I feel like a dingus because it's about movies again. I guess like it's part of your personality. You guys have probably seen on my story. I post about that like DreamWorks, like kids movie. Yes. Oh yeah. I robot a win is just like this movie called the wild robot. It's just like surprisingly just like super good. Cool. I'm just like, I feel like I've just been telling people like you should go see it. You're a raving fan. Yeah, I am. My friend TJ said the same thing. He said it was awesome. Yeah, I saw it in his story.

Yeah, it's just like, I don't know, it's good. You should go watch it and take your kids. And letterbox it afterwards. Please do, and follow me so I can follow you back and we can letterbox together. That's cool. I hope you get a lot of letterbox followers. Thanks.

Do they need to know your username or anything? It's just my name, all lowercase,. No spaces question for the Gen Z. Yes There's a D at the end of letterbox. Yes. Yes letterbox And so do you say that or do you? When you text somebody like check out my letterbox Do you put the D at the end or is that only for that if you're going on the website? Oh, I always use the D It's just the name of the brand. It could just be me. Sorry, stupid question. How do you pronounce it? Do you pronounce the D or you just pronounce the X?

Right. I do, I say letterboxed. Letterboxed. I have not heard that until just now. I went through a similar thing. You said that edit over yesterday, and I was like, what is the proper term? Is it the comment section or the comments section?

Oh, what did I, I'm curious what I wrote. You said the comments section, plural. And so I looked it up. Internet was pretty, pretty split. It seemed like you could do either one. So I was like, great, just leave it. Easy. Yeah. Easy either. The comment section. Yeah. You get it. Judgment. E or no E. All right. Let's do some comments. Yeah. I got Brooke Behoff. Brooke Boberhoff. Oh yeah yeah. She's coming, right? Yes, she is, I believe. She's coming to Napanee. If you're not, then what are you doing? What are you doing?

She said about, we were talking about, you know, turn the AC on versus the heater last week. She said, about conserving energy in the home, my grandpa still turns the shower water off while he's in the shower. So he gets wet, turns it off to scrub, then turns it on just to rinse. And that is Gunnar Duckworth in 50 years. Like Gunnar's going to realize like how much money he could save if he just didn't

use as much water. And he's, I mean, that's, that's unreal. Like, especially cause men these days, at least grandpa, I bet that guy takes a two minute shower max. If he's doing that, give me a break. Like just keep it on for a little bit. Yeah. You know, but so amazing. I love, I think it's cause especially cause like that, the initial, like when you turn on the water back on is miserable. Yeah. It's, it's not ready to go. No, never. And so just an amazing, amazing picture of this man, like, like getting wet, lathering up and then like, all right, here we go. Shut her off. And then hustling to, you know, get it all off real quick. So I wonder if he does, do you think he does shampoo

at the same time or does he do two different cycles of on and off? Probably both the same time. You think? Yeah. Lather both with water off, rinse off with both. You're done. Maybe that should be part of the bed as well as time has to do that for a week. Prove it. Yeah. Thanks, Brooke. Sammy Krieg said, are we really just skipping over the part where Jake described a snake as a scary belt?

That's the funniest and most accurate description ever. I hope Hattie memorizes it in her curriculum. That's the case for the love. That's the great thing is that half the time I don't even hear Jake's like small comments. We miss stuff from each other all the time. Yeah. Yeah, your dad texted me the other day. Did he tell you about this?

Yes, he was obsessed with some joke you made. He's like, I can't believe, you know, whatever. Another time where you didn't get credit. And I'm like, I don't even remember saying that. I know. When he told me what you said, part of me was like, I think I was kind of saying that, but maybe Brad was the one who said the word Jose

or something, either way really tickled him. Once again, you're not going to get the credit you deserve. You did not make me spit out my coffee, but I did get some up in the nasal cavity trying to hold it in. When you guys were talking about the segregation in the classroom and you said something about Jose loving the new arrangement, might be the best line ever

He loved it. So good. It was interesting seeing all the ghosties who had experience doing this like oh, yeah My school did this. Oh, yeah, we did uh blue eyes versus brown eyes like a version of very popular. Yeah So fun So fun. Thanks for all the interaction you guys do on facebook comments. It's fun It's so fun guys. The community is fun because you all make it fun. So shout out. There was a girl that said hi to me at dinner the other night.

Oh yeah. Did you see what I did, dude? No, well I saw the Facebook post and I read it as, hey, Brad and Jake, I was the girl. And so as I'm reading this, I'm like, none of this is sounding familiar. Man, I don't remember this. What place has she been referencing? Oh man. And I was like, I'll reread this. How was as I'm reading this, I'm like, none of this is tiny familiar. Man, I don't remember this. What place has she been referencing?

Oh man. And I was like, I'll reread this. It was Brad and Catherine. Oh, okay. Thank goodness. I was at the movies at the time. We were at dinner with Johnny and Abby. Oh fun.

Youssef. Yeah. And he gets recognized more than I do because he's like doing TikTok stuff and people love his video stuff. And so he got recognized right before it. Like, oh, I love your videos, man. I'm just giving a hard time. Like, Oh man, you're getting recognized all over the place. No, I don't get recognized. You know, whatever. Um, and then this, yeah, this

girl comes up and says something to me, but like, yeah, I didn't know exactly. Like she was like, almost like didn't have the words or something. She's like, I just love you guys. I love your family so much. Okay. I gotta go or something like that. And she put this really kind thing. Her name is Kelly Dawson. And I responded. I responded. Lauren exclamation point. It's like you put your pants on backwards. Bro, dude. Yeah. Oh yeah. By the way, I realized it wasn't a shirt last week. It was my boxers three different times. Which is hilarious that you got the article of clothing on the wrong hemisphere of your body. I know I'm an idiot. All right. This is what it all, Lauren, you know, and whatever. I said all these things and, and Catherine said later on that day, she's like, did you see that girl?

Like that girl, it was so good that she posted that I'm so glad to hear from her or whatever. And I was like, yeah, I responded. She, you see that? And she's like, yeah. Did you realize that you called her Lauren? And I was like, what's, what's her name? She's like, yeah, I responded. Did you see that? And she's like, yeah. Did you realize that you called her Lauren? And I was like, what's her name? She's like, Kelly. And I was like, OK, what's her last name? She goes, Dawson. I'm like, not even close.

I don't know. I just felt like such an idiot. I don't know how that happened. But I messed it up. You're on Facebook. You can go see a name. Hey there, Laura. I wonder, whatever. I're on Facebook. You can clearly see a name in front of it. Hey there, Lor. I wonder, whatever.

I wonder if somebody named Lauren respond. Nope, no one, Lauren, they even commented on it, so. You get it next time, kid. Lauren. Lauren, if it ain't you. Anyway. All right, love you guys. Thanks for all the feedback.
