Yeah, right? Yeah I mean two three four times. That's enough Yeah, you think they give a letter these days at least a notice of some sort. When did it end up like this? How hard is it to not just email out some sort of thing?

Yeah, I mean, talk to me. I'm talking to you. How hard is it? I mean, it's winter time. Yes. It's cold out there. Yeah. There's frost in the air. A few years ago, wouldn't have been like this. No, it would not. Come on.

Anyway, I know that story went on a little long, but that's just kind of the story, just the conversation we had to have. That's life. Sometimes you have to have those kinds of conversations.

Come on. Come on now. Yeah, right. What are you thinking? Yeah, right. Yeah, right. Sheesh. Didn't know it was going to be like this.

Well, it's a. We're recording this on Wednesday, November 6th and T's on sea. T's on sea. That's the only thing that's going on right now in America. The biggest thing right now. People are people are buzzing about T on sea. And we don't know for sure that T's on sea.

We don't get to see the monitor. We don't really know what goes on over there. He just looked at the camera and nodded. So I think he's on C. So everyone check out Tymon, looking good. Did you know you were gonna be on C today? I actually wasn't sure. I forgot what we were doing with a lot of cameras.

So I was like, I don't know. Yeah, well we'll find out. I would dare to say you dressed more casual than the last five times you've been off see today. Really? Oh, he's normally in a suit jacket. Normally I remember timing in a suit. It is wild.

Like, yeah, we kept like promising they'd be on camera and he kept showing up black tie, you know, like a tuxedo. Finally gave up and that's when you brought it on me. I don't know about more casual. Just he looks great. I don't know what what what's different like what's What's what's normally I feel like he's usually and he loves that black Adidas sweatshirt. You guys will see it eventually He loves the adidas want to yeah loves the adidas sweatshirt I'm trying to remember what else time and wears. Maybe just shorts, I don't know. Maybe, yeah.

Zoom in on his legs, optimize, enhance. Go ahead and pinch in with your fingers. I was watching Hattie last night. She had, Catherine had her MacBook open and Hattie, like you could tell the screen went kind of dim and Hattie went and reached at the screen and like tried to like tap it to turn it back on. Oh, really? Like an iPad, you know? And then then she realized oh, I have to use the thing down here

It's kind of it's kind of a cute like oh look at you Just young kid who's used to every screen being a touchscreen and that's good that you don't know exactly how Yeah, all the technology works yet, right? It's probably for the best but yeah tease on see man. Congrats time and you made it Thank you. Yeah, yeah, tease on C man. Congrats time and you made it. Thank you. Yeah, yeah, this is it So I peek I wonder if anybody hasn't seen time and yet like I Comment below if this is your first time seeing time and and comment below on a scale of one to ten How good he looks compared to how good you thought he would look? Yeah. Yeah, right? Yeah, right detail Yeah, yeah. Yeah and tell us what you specifically like and dislike about time.

Take off your shirt real quick. Oh, anyway, time and I hung out a bunch yesterday. Yeah, came over. It's just it's that time of year. Is that time of year? Right. Yeah, it's that it's every hustle in the bustle. You can't have bustle without hustle, though. No, just Black Friday, Cyber Monday.

It's obviously crazy for trying to sell pickleball paddles. So I was like, I got a free day. I said, Tymon, you and Zach come over. We're gonna spend all day just making ads together. Very productive day. Tymon was super helpful. And Oliver was in the mix at one point. Showed up to the pickleball courts.

Nice. Took him to lunch. Had a good time. How many ads do you think you filmed? I mean, there's still more to edit. And I think, I don't know, Timon probably sent me 16 pieces of content yesterday. He didn't. Timon probably sent me, I don't know, 15 or so. And then I had Zach edit another five. So we got after yesterday.

There's still more to do. 21. Somewhere around there. Yeah. I don't know. How do you, uh, how do you keep coming up with different, or are you doing like the same one, just a redone version of it? Or like, how do you? Yeah, I mean, ads seem more of a quantity game than quality, like Friday Pickleball. You know, as an organic social,

it's like we post once a week. It's hopefully, you know, decent quality. And the ads feel like they're shot very high quality. I mean, I just sent a screenshot of what Tymon had created in here in the Friday Pickleball group chat blew up. They're like, this looks like a movie. This looks so crisp.

Scott sends over, I should just play this. Scott sent over a little something, and I said, slow day at the packaging expo. Hold on, Here it is. In a world where overpriced pickleball paddles run rampant, one company stands up to them all. Scott loves a 10 second or less voice. And he sends them more than anyone else. I know. Yeah. It's a lot of,

it's just like two seconds like, I remember going on a golf trip with him and one of the golf courses we were going to is called Estrella. And whenever he would just like get excited, whether it's before the trip or after the trip, he'd just send a little voice memo, Estrella.

That's all you'd hear from him. Like I guess he's thinking about golf. He's excited. Sounds's excited. Yeah. Yeah anyway That was fun yesterday Learned that Oliver's a Google pixel guy really ruined my day. I did remember whenever we were texting Yeah, all the time and timing his friends about Grande boo stuff back in the day. There was a it turned green and I was like what happened here? Yeah, right Where did we go wrong? Yeah, right. Have you ever thought about it?

Not really. I almost did at one time. Really? Yeah. I think it was like maybe the first iteration of Google Pixel even. I was just like, man, I don't know. I use Google. Yeah.

Yeah. I like email. Everything else that I've used that's Google related is great. But I'm so glad I didn't. Yeah. I don I like email. Everything else that I've used for that's Google related is great. But I'm so glad I didn't. Yeah. I don't need that. I taught Steve Koop this weekend

that you can iMessage on a computer. He had no idea. Life changing. Yeah. He was looking at someone's computer. I was like, yeah, text me that link. And he's like, am I just gonna have to send you, should I just take a picture of it with my phone?

And is that easy for you? And I was like, no, you have like iMessage in your computer. Yeah. He wasn't logged in, didn't know his password. So it'll never happen, but he does know that it's possible. There's a functionality for it now. I was like, yeah, I was like, dude,

this is like one of the main reasons people even buy a MacBook in the first place. It is so nice. I, if I'm really like, like you can tell if I'm texting on a computer versus a phone. Like just, I shoot them off. It's longer and my eyes aren't capitalized. That's how you know.

Yeah, it's true. Why don't they capitalize them? You know what it is. I don't know. It's the eye by itself. Everyone else is capitalizing it. I don't know, man. Hey, let's talk to them about it.

Talk to them. Talk to them. Does he know you can copy on the MacBook and paste on the phone? Talk to us about that. Talk to us. I don't you can copy on the MacBook and paste on the phone? Talk to us about that. Talk to us. I don't know about that.

I don't know how it happens, but I mean, it works for me. I'll tell him I'll copy something on my computer. You're telling me. Okay, time. You're telling me time. I'm like, Sebastian, you're telling me you can copy on one thing and based on to another diamond. Huh? You're telling me you can copy on one thing and based on through another diamond? Huh?

You telling me that's how you do it? Show me how to do it. Show me that. I feel like that happened to me once on accident and I'd never been able to recreate it. I don't know what the order of operations is or how you do it. I will say, I feel like there's been a few times where it just hasn't done it when I want it to, but I don't know. It's worked for me most of the time.

Okay Google, copy. So yeah. Okay. I'm going to ask you more questions about things you don't know. It's worked for me most of the time. OK, Google, copy. So yeah, OK, I'm going to ask you more questions about things you don't understand the answer to, probably. Do you have to be in the same app? Or is it just like, if I copied it here and I'm in iCloud on my computer, I can paste it on my thing that I'm logged into?

Because I'm on Wi-Fi for both things here. Yeah, I just did it with a random video on my YouTube Like just copied it from a computer pasted it into a text and did you use? Wait, okay Hold on. So, Timon, tell me this you were on you're on YouTube.com on what browser? Chrome on my MacBook and that's a Google browser Timon Right as a Google browser Mario browser And then you paste it into the iOS messages app time. I don't know, I'm losing the accent here. You're doing, yes, that is correct.

Really? Okay. I still don't understand some of the functions here. You, on your computer, you say copy, and then you go to your phone, and you just press. And then I tap the empty space I'm command comes up. Wow, I paste it. I'm Not got nothing. I got no paste option bread

Make sure that your iPhone and Mac have Wi-Fi Bluetooth and handoff turned on. Oh, you might be passing. This is a running play Yeah, dude, the running backs are becoming more and more valuable these days. Yes. Saquon and Derek Henry. Bichon. I mean, who cares about who cares about the Ryre Sears when you got some credible running backs? I just looked up Derek Henry in my search bar. Hand off.

Derek Henry. Okay. Hand off is not turned on, Tyman. Okay. I must have accidentally turned mine on because you're telling me I should click on it. I should click on it, Tyman. So time yeah it's green now that means it's on okay and your devices hold on make sure you don't have my cheaters on must be within 30 feet of one another yeah do you have a measuring tape time okay I'm

really excited about this actually it's called universal clipboard cool I love copying and pasting things more than anybody else. Copy more than anybody. Paste. Freak. Oh no, I just copied from my phone. No, just like the whole thing. The whole time. It's like, dude, it's working. Whoa. All right. I am. I am doing this copy. Copy. Ho ho ho ho! Handoff up the middle. That is so cool. Cream hunt.

Touchdown and overtime. OK, is that the only thing it can do? Timie, is that the only thing it can do? Is there anything else, functionality-wise? That it can do? Like, can it not? That Handoff can do? I had never heard of Handoff till right now.

So I must have just accidentally had that on. Do you think you could Google that for me, Dianne, and figure that out for me? Yeah. Yeah. That is so fun. It's pretty nifty. Because I will often text myself things.

That's how I copy and paste. I send it to voicemail. Voicemail? When I first got my first ever phone set up to check your voicemail, you had to call yourself. So in my phone, 417-830, you know, I just, I created the contact as voicemail. Oh, I see.

So now, yeah, I need that Airbnb link set over myself. So your phone number in your own phone is voicemail. Yeah. Gotcha. Love it. Oh, I am pumped up on some technology here, boys. Use handoff to continue tasks on your other devices. What kind of tasks are we talking? I don't know I the fire that's for me diamond such as writing an email or a document Oh, it's probably got to be within like

Mail or within pages I bet Yeah, probably yeah, so yeah But I don't know why the copy and pasting works for me, but for so long and still, I can't start a notes file on my computer and it show up on my iPhone. Notes kinda suck sometimes. It doesn't always talk to each other like I want them to.

Yeah. I just turn the sync off and back on again and hopefully it figures it out. Yeah, apps that work with handoff, Safari, mail maps, reminders. Oh, reminders, so helpful. Contacts, pages, numbers, keynote, FaceTime. FaceTime, what kind of task

do you need to carry over from one to another? FaceTime, you're in there for one thing only. It's happening in half a second. But maybe you're like, I don't wanna FaceTime. I gotta, you know, you're at the office. You're doing your work, you're in there for one thing only. It's happening in half a second. But maybe you're like, I don't want to FaceTime. I got to, you know, you're at the office. You're doing your work, you're doing your work. Somebody FaceTimes you, hey, how you doing? I'll do a little FaceTime with you here.

And it's like, you know what? I got to get going to my next appointment. All right, so I'm talking to you here now as I'm walking out the door. Okay, that makes sense. I was thinking like a type of task, like you get halfway through writing an email, I'll finish the rest.

Yeah. And I was like thinking like, why you get halfway through writing an email I'll finish the rest. Yeah And I was like thinking like why you get halfway through typing in Brad's name. Ah, I'll finish it on my phone Yeah, you got the you have the right filter you got like the unicorn face on you, you know Oh, that's all my kids want to do when I facetime them now do the thing where you have different faces dog ears Oh, man, That's fun. Can I get, can I give you more Steve Koop content? I have some Steve Koop content from our few times together this past weekend.

Oh yeah. That seems like forever ago. Doesn't it? Yeah, the fire pit. It was like Halloween. We haven't talked about Halloween yet. Oh yeah, Halloween has been on the podcast. I don't think so.

All right. Yeah, Steve Koop. let's talk about him. So. Salt of the earth. Salty. Yeah. Liquid IV of the earth. Get that guy, get that guy some Redmond Relyde of the earth.

Or Element of the earth. Or Element of the earth. Whoever reaches out first. It's your call. They all listen, I'm sure. Speaking of our sponsors, no, no, hey, hey. They have their time. They pay for that time.

It's precious time. It's Bass Pro time. So we've got a wedding. One of Rachel's friends is getting married this past weekend. So Tommy and Corey come down. Rachel's parents come down. Tommy and Corey, they've got two under two.

Tommy and Cory are Rachel's brother and sister-in-law. Good, they go to the Great Wolf Lodge. Great Wolf Lodge is a really fun place that has wolves. Yes, full of wolves. It's awesome, I've never been in there. Dude, once you have kids, it's like a magic kingdom. That's what I was gonna say, I'm 33 with no kids, and I was like, this is kinda sweet.

It's like your first time going in Shields a little bit. Like, whoa, there's a lot to do here. It's like this place was meant to be awesome and it's succeeding. You know, like it's meant to be entertaining for kids and fun for kids and it's nice. And from what I could tell, from the other people going there, it seems affordable.

See, and I think you know what I mean. Dude, I feel, get a little tangent real quick, but I feel like growing up, Great Wolf Lodge was like the only people that could afford to go there were billionaires. Like my friend, my friend who brought like the really good pop and candy for like, when it was their time to like bring drinks

for sports games and stuff, it's like, whoa, Sam Dwyer's parents, like they have like full-size Coke bottles. Or like they were the first family to have a finished basement or two TVs. They're doing just fine. Yeah, they have high speed internet, dude. Yeah.

DSL. Yeah, man. Like they have like the big screen that's like six feet deep, you know? Like, and so like Great Wolf Lodge was like unattainable as a kid. Like there's no way. we will never get there. There's no way we don't have enough land in our family to be passed down to me where I

could someday afford Great Wolf Lodge. And it felt like it felt like there were certain restaurants that were like, these are really high end olive garden Applebee's like those are the like those are the places you go on your birthday. Like those aren't we can attain those still. Yeah. But like nice ones, you know and nowadays it's like Applebees you're going to Applebee's. Yeah, right. Yeah, right. Come on

Yeah, great wolf lodge. I don't know. I don't know how much I don't think it's that cheap But I think you and I were doing just fine so we can afford it. We could wolf. Yeah, it was awesome It was just that ears. They should get the ears took some pics with the ears. It was great I had a blast not even my kid not even really related to me, but their kid Lucy not your blood not my blood But I really enjoyed just watching her go down slides at the Great Wolf Lodge. Yeah, it's awesome anyway She's what three she is Rosie's age. I Don't know how old Rosie is. Oh, yeah, that's right. She's two and a half. We'll make it easier Ah, which one's right? Rose is our third. Do we don't we don't worry about her Rosie's two and a half

I think she's I'm getting all my kids mixed up. So I guess they don't have two or two two or three She she like she like really limply throws up to how old are you? I'm two, I'm two, two. It's Thomas Kenny, I'm thinking of he's a year and a half old. That's what I'm thinking of. Yeah. Whatever, fun little girl. We're gonna grab lunch. Rachel and her mom Angie are like,

we're gonna go across the street, get some stuff from Famous Dave's. I say, perfect. I got a little hunting trip coming up. Steve, why don't we go across the street to Bass Pro? Yeah. Cause I needed things for two events. So it was gonna be two birds, one stone.

Cause I had plans, I had tickets to go to the chief's game, which they were calling for heavy rain. Tickets were plummeting in price. That's how you know. You don't need to check the forecast, you check the ticket price. And you see, whoa, $30 to get in, it is gonna rain. Right.

So I wanted to prepare for that, as well as preparing for the hunting trip. And so I was like, let's go to Bass Pro. So we walk in there. Here's what I remember happening is initially we get like, kind of like accosted right away. Hey, how are you guys doing today? Can I just do a Bass Pro credit card?

They're good at that. Right there at the entrance to the right. Yes, as soon as you walk in. And Steve took it, of course. No, luckily they talked to me. OK, and so I said, no, thank you. We're good. We were not so lucky a little later on in the back.

Do you know about this? I think I do. Go ahead. I know like straight back to the left a little bit. Yeah, yeah. Go ahead. Yeah, right. Oh, I want to know where I want to know where we're going. Let's go. You already know the story.

Oh my gosh. This is so good. All right. I just want to look at the bear and then all of a sudden we were doing these taxidermied animals are a vibe. It was like we were five years old just looking at all the animals because I mean, oh yeah, the best pro that I remember, the OG, they would give you one large grizzly and you'd say,

whoa, not bad. Let's move on. I also haven't been there since I was a kid. I bet it's amazing. And now I mean, it's like an amphitheater, probably 30 animals, very well taxidermied. I had to stop and stare for them. 30?

I don't know. I would say 30 large mammals. And then you got the birds and then you got the other stuff. 30. Did you go all around the whole store? I bet there's 200. So I guess I'm thinking, all right, yeah, there's more. There's a lot. I didn't realize there was a back. They got an elephant? Did not see the elephant. Is this the legends one? Yeah. They have an elephant? So this used to be a Cabela. Cabela's and Bass Pro I think are the same people or whatever. So now they're all called Bass Pro Shaws, but it was a Cabela's originally.

Okay. Yeah, dude. I've told, they have like a whole safari scene. Where's the elephant? Back, right. Interesting. They got like an elephant, lions back there, antelopes. It's amazing.

It's a great vibe. Yeah. Scene, I mean, it's just so many animals. It's pretty fun. And as we start to walk away, I hear this one sentence and I know immediately it's just so many animals. It's pretty fun. And as we start to walk away, I hear this one sentence and I know immediately what's happening. Hey sir, I like your yellow hat.

Steve Koop turn around, oh, thanks, thanks. What's it say on it? It says Marquette University, my son-in-law goes to law school there. Oh, Marquette, I've had some friends go to Marquette and boom, tractor beam, sucked right in. I'm like, I already know where this is going, I already know what's happening.

They're like the physical compliment, way too energetic, something on your body. Hey, oh, yellow hat. And right then and there, she kind of lets us walk away a little bit. She's like, are you guys familiar? Do you guys know what's going on today? Today.

You guys know what's going on today? It. You guys know what's going on today? It was a big day for that. Yeah. That sale. And then. Two for $99 today only. It was, yeah. It was just all Steve and her, Katie was her name.

Here, why don't you come in? Let me show you where we got going today. Oh, okay, okay. And then she proceeds to just, just lay on the thickest sales pitch you've ever seen. We're doing this, we're doing this. Let me ask you this, you like traveling with your family?

Oh yeah, yeah, I love traveling with my family. Well, you gotta take advantage of this. I mean, 15 minutes go by, I can't believe that we're still talking to this woman. And you're standing there partially because you're like trying to be nice to your father-in-law, but also like, I don't want my father-in-law to buy a boat.

Let's, you know, be careful here. And yeah, he's like, you know what? I'm going to, you know, she pitches him on a, I don't know if you like going to the Ozarks, but we have a Chateau on the lake. I'm keeping to myself, but I'm thinking that's where I went to prom. Oh, really? We had our prom at their like ballroom. Okay. And. Is that in Branson? Yeah, it's in Branson.

Okay. And so Steve's like, oh my gosh, if we could go down and see the triplets, who doesn't like Branson? Sure. So he's like, you know what, let's do it. I'm like, oh my gosh, I can't believe he's like about to buy whatever this is,

whatever deal this is in the back of a Bass Pro. I can't believe they can be so salesy back here. And then he's like about to kind of sign up for it. He's like, now what all do I have to do once I get down there? And she's like, well, you will have to sit through a two hour and he goes, oh, just to her face. Oh man, I didn't know it was that.

They didn't mention that. Yeah, oh man. It's something, you know what, good. They didn't mention that. Yeah. Oh man. It's something, you know what? Good. We're out of here now. Right. And then she's like, it's not that bad. It's not that bad.

And he's like, Steve goes, does my wife have to sit through it? And she's like, no, you could say you're single and your wife doesn't have to go. And he's like, all right, as long as Angie doesn't have to go. I'm like, I can't believe we're back in. You were so out four seconds ago. And now you're like, all right, I'll sit through it. As long as Angie doesn't have to. As long as somebody else is with you, like your son-in-law could do it.

All right. Yeah, sure. Yeah. Yeah. Jake, you like Branson? Anyway, it was just, it was amazing watching it because it was just like, I just, who Steve Cooper's the only person in the world I know who would like fall for this. And when it would do anything like this, it was, I sent a picture to our cruise group chat while he's still in the thick of things. And I said, the men on the

beaches of Honduras are going to get jealous with how much time he's spending with the Bass Pro sales timeshare lady. Uh, because if you remember that story, I mean, he was every single person asked him to buy something. He would buy it. Multiple hats, multiple hats in the airport, multiple conch shells, you know, and he's going back to my dad saying, well, he looked like he needed it. My dad's like, they all need it. It's a third world country.

You can't support all of them. And I think he did. And so anyway, so he bought, it's a four day, three night stay, wherever you want, it's swappable. And yes, that is a word. She said it, she wrote it down. She was a real corn ball.

She, yeah, it's swappable. You can go anywhere you want. You got 18 months to do it. He's thinking Branson though. They also threw in a $40 gift card to Bass Pro. And then they also claimed that he's gonna get $150 of free spending money at whichever kind of resort he goes to. And so you put all this together,

even after he's had an hour to think about this, he's told the whole family, like we're getting famous, Dave, and I'm like, you gotta tell him what you did, and he still tells me later, I think I got the deal of a lifetime. Oh, oh yeah. It was amazing to see the lack of like, he didn't back down, like his whole family's

making fun of him. He's like, no, this is a good deal. Angie, we're gonna love this. This is gonna be a great vacation. And honestly, he probably will. And it really might be. I think you just have to stay strong. That's what he kept telling himself.

I just gotta stay strong. I just can't buy a timeshare. And we're like, easier said than done. You just bought one basically. That's what they're so good. I just got to stay strong. I just can't buy a timeshare. And we're like easier said than done. You just bought one basically. That's what they're so good at is selling the timeshare. That's how they make their money. I bet they're pretty good at it. They're going to make it sound unbelievably amazing.

You have to stay strong. So we will return to this story whenever he goes on the trip to see if he can say no to the timeshare presentation. That story reminds me of that story back when you worked for K Life, your free cruise. Yeah. That's that you were kind of the Steve Cooper, that situation where they were like, add no, you're like, I remember I wasn't there, but you like, you like cup the phone as this like telemarketers talking to you and you go to Catherine Pierre, you go, this kind of stuff

never happens to me. Like they're just adding on more and more. You're like, wow, yeah, yeah. And then at the very end, I think they were like, and it is going to cost this much money. And you're like, whoa, whoa, whoa. You said it was all free. I got the free cruise. Yeah. Oh, and we can upgrade today for you.

This kind of stuff never happens. This is unbelievable. I'm so lucky. I'm wearing my socks. So it was just, it was just nuts. It was really funny. The last thing she did, because I said she was an odd girl,

good salesman, I would have said good salesman if she hadn't ended with this. People will remember, when you have an experience with someone, they remember the highest point and they remember the end. And I remember the end because she said, Steve, you're a, you farm corn, so I assume you like corny songs.

Oh no. He goes, what? You like corny songs? I suppose so. And then she just acapella, middle of bass pro, way too loud, way too many dance moves, just starts singing a song that she made up. It's not a parody to any song you've heard.

Oh, really cringe, really bad. I'm trying to remember what it was. It was like, and a lot of like these kind of movements. You came in here to get a Rodder or a real, next thing you know, you got a real good deal. And like probably eight stanzas of that. And I was just like, oh, like still staring at her. You think it took 30 seconds? Yeah, between 20 and 30 seconds probably. That's too long. And I was just like, oh, like still staring at her.

You think it took 30 seconds? Yeah, between 20 and 30 seconds probably. That's too long. Yeah. A quick jingle, like just that, you got a real good deal. Like that alone is like a little bit silly, but like, all right. They just kind of kept going and going and rhyming

and she's bouncing around. She's like 60 years old and yada yada. And it ended with us high-fiving her. She got us involved in it. And I was like, woo, that tarnished the whole thing. She knew her audience, she said, because Steve still think he's got the deal of a lifetime. This woman is to be trusted.

That is so great. It was an amazing experience. So I mean, that took 30 minutes. So now we're like, well, I guess we gotta head back to the lodge because the food's probably ready. So Rachel and I, once we said goodbye, everyone leaves, that was Sunday, they're going back to Iowa.

I was like, well, I still need some Bass Pro. Rachel, let's go back. And I said, we're gonna walk by that girl. I said, you go in front of me. And I said, I guarantee you, she's gonna compliment something on your body. Sure enough, Rachel gets past her. Hey, I like your sweater. Oh, thank you.

Do you guys know what we have going on here today? Today only, yeah. And I was like, hey, I actually, I talked to you earlier. She like crosses her arms, she's like, when? And I was like, the sale you made earlier, my father-in-law was here, he's like, I can't remember you. The same day?

Yeah, I mean, it was an hour and a half later. Really? Didn't recognize me. She's just been looking at too mean, it was an hour and a half later. Really? Didn't recognize me. She's just been looking at too many other people's clothes. She's been humming through people. Wow. Yeah, persistent, I would not want that job. But I think Steve sees that and he's like,

she's got to make some sales today, might as well be me. At Costco, there's always somebody that does that as well. And I was recently at Costco by myself and it was a little bit of a less busy time. I can't remember, like Wednesday morning or something like that. And this guy, I know exactly where it is in the store. It's like right, you walk in,

it's kind of like the natural path to go to the groceries. And there's always somebody there. And I always give them the time of day, but I never break stride. Like they're always like, how you doing sir? Good. You have any time to talk about your AC system? No, I'm good. Thanks, man. I appreciate it. Like trying to like give them like human dignity, but also like be like, I know what you're doing. I'm not interested. Thank you.

He is polite as possible while I'm still in, in distance of them. Apparently this time, this guy, I kind of enjoyed it, but also felt bad. I'm still thinking about it. Like he's like, this guy to the other day was like, you are pretty far over on that aisle. You're trying to avoid me, huh? And I was like, ah, no, good to see you. I was just going to buy my son some shirts. She's dude. I was like, wow, he's sharp. He called me out. I was like, I was like, wow, he's calling me out. I was like, I was like, I don't want to talk to you very much. I would love it if you didn't say anything to me.

Yeah. So yeah, that's the whole job. It's like if they don't say anything to people, they're doing a bad job. And so I'm like, I don't fault you for trying. You got to say something to people, but also I'm not the guy. No, thank you. I don't like that. I don't like it.

as we were there, it kind of dawned on Rachel, I'm glad she was there, she was like, my dad and like Tommy like have all this stuff. We're going home next week and why don't we just get stuff there? I was like, oh, good point. I went in and got some boots for the rain and pheasant hunting, super uncomfortable. I'm gonna return them, find some new ones.

Oh really? I think that's one of the things in like, super uncomfortable. I'm gonna return them, find some new ones. Oh really? I think that's one of the things in like, they send like an email out, whatever. And it's like, break them in. I think that's what they say. Maybe I'm getting confused or something else. Like break in your boots or whatever. That's what Celia was telling me to break in my boots.

I was like, maybe I'm on my high horse. I'd like to buy a pair of boots. No acquired taste for my boots. They're ready. Can they just come comfy? It feels like- We landed on the moon. It feels like LL, I have like bean boots, like old pair of boots. No acquired taste for my boots. They're ready. Can they just come comfy? It feels like we landed on the moon. It feels like LL. I have like bean boots, like old hunter bean boots.

Big old bag of boots. Big old bag of boots. Let me listen here, you big old bag of boots. And they are very comfortable. OK. I imagine those kind of boots would be comfortable right away. Bada bing bada boom. Come on. Come on. Yeah, right. OK, so, yeah, you didn't have to get too much. There are certain stores, and it's kind of fun for me. I don't know if you felt this way.

I'm thinking specifically of Cabela slash Bass Pro, Home Depot, and AutoZone. Those were three stores that at one point in my life, I felt completely foreign in. Yep. You know what I mean? The first time I went hunting, I went to Bass Pro like you did. It's like buy a bunch of stuff.

And I was like, this is a different world that I don't know about. Yeah. I remember back before I did woodworking, going to Home Depot for something. It was when I was working programs at Cantercock. And it was like, I don't know where to find any of this stuff. What is this place?

Yeah. AutoZone, I still feel that way Oh, yeah, like I know where the oil is, but that's about it, you know I Don't know and it's kind of fun It's kind of fun to be like this is look at all this stuff in the hang of it Wow you need this That's that's kind of a clever thing. They have there, you know, like all the little knickknacks and stuff. It's cool It's great store. Yeah smells good

Yeah, it's a that I. Yeah. Smells good. Yeah. It's a, I think I told you this, like I, it's one of those stores that feels good going into like, this is still like good old fashioned brick and mortar commercial Americana. You go in, you're buying something. Yeah. It's good.

Yeah. It's not like Best Buy where all of a sudden they don't have anything physical to sell you. Yeah. Are you going to Best Buy, figure out what you want, go buy it off Amazon. Yeah, that too. So I'm getting excited.

I just last night wrote up a little description for every hunter. I'm gonna send it out to the group chat today. Oh, that's fun. Let me tell you yours. I'll tell you a few of them. And these aren't set in stone, if you wanna help me.

Okay. Help me. So what I did for all of them, just for fun, is I, so we have like 14 guys going and they're, you know, so many people don't know the other people's phone numbers. Like I'm sure there's at least four numbers you don't have or three numbers, whatever, in the group chat. And so I'm putting everybody's phone number in

when I'm like introducing them, giving them each a nickname, and then writing a little description about them and then putting like a little like, like ranking slash odds. I'll tell you what I mean. So there's one number in there that I wanted to make fun of a few days ago because he'd asked a question that Gunnar had just asked, but I didn't know him. So it's like, well, I guess I'm going to make fun of him because I don't know who he is. That's funny it was, that's funny. Cause Gunnar was like, do we need swim trunks or can we just, you know, go sand strong in this hot tub?

And then you were like, bring swim trunks. And then right after that, he's like, what about birthday suits? And you're like, bring trunks. Yeah, I know dude. So like, it's going to be so fun. The whole thing is going to be amazing. But they're like, Gunnarner is ridiculous, a little bit.

Not anything crazy, crazy ridiculous, but just he's going to say dumb things every once in a while, which I don't care. I'm ridiculous and dumb sometimes. But there's one guy specifically, Bob, who's the most godly man I've ever met. And he's a little bit older. I think he's probably young. He's super old time time and he's like, I don't know, 42. Oh, you know, Oh my God,

put T on C and look at that. Yeah. Um, no, yeah. Like what's he even, what's he even still living for? Um, and I mean, like he's not, he's, he's so fun, but he's not like hilarious from what I've noticed. Okay. It's a gunner making these cracks about, Hey, do we need fun, but he's not like hilarious from what I've noticed. It's a gunner making these cracks about, Hey, do we need to, can we go all natural in the hot tub? I'm like, Gunner, just be cool please for my friend, Bob. I did like Gunner's texts. Cause you said like, Hey, and just a reminder, like this whole trip is meant to be a blessing.

Like you were there to serve you, you know, it's being taken care of, whatever. And Gunner said, my goal is to ask so many questions that it's no longer a blessing to you. And he's doing that every few days. He fires off another dumb question. It is fun. So, all right. So here's my description for you. So it says Jake Triplett, AKA Hawkeye.

Thank you. Get it? Redhead? Iowa. Oh. Hey, that's a nice yellow hat. Where's that from? Iowa?

No, Mark. Are you a Hawkeye guy? Hawkeye? Um, all right. So I said a true jack of all trades. There's nothing this man does not do well. Although a rookie rookie in the field, he's sure to find a way to turn it into content gold and film a pickleball ad while mowing down his first bird. I did think about that. It's that time of year. And then I said that I ranked overall awareness 10 out of 10. Thank you likelihood to befriend the hunting dogs 100% Thank you. Yeah, that seems adequate I'll give you a few more here. I see McDonald aka birthday cake

No idea where the nickname Yeah, aka birthday cake every once while they made sense a lot of her just super random There's a I don't know how familiar with little dickies music, but his early stuff very unfamiliar He would always just like I think it was kind of like a trend at first like for rappers to introduce themselves and like aka This like street name hood name whatever gang name Yeah, he would give himself a new nickname every single song and it was kind of like that. That sounds exactly like okay Hey, it's LD aka birthday cake. Here we go. He like that. That sounds exactly like, hey, it's LD, AKA birthday cake.

Here we go. He'd be like, it's Lil Dicky, AKA independent variable. It was like always really fun nicknames. And a new one every song. Yeah, just nonsensical, whatever. So Isaac Maddahl, the youngster of the crew, this hunter aims to blend in with the old guys by having the back of a 50 year old.

Expect him to bring memories and laughter to each conversation he joins. Athleticism, 10 out of 10. Likelihood to either shoot someone else or shoot himself, 5%. Rachel did, she's like, I'm so excited for that hunting trip, but you need to be careful.

I'm like, I'm always careful. She's like, well, I'm talking about Isaac and Harrison. You need to just be careful. So let's read Harrison's real quick. We were on the same page. Harrison Pollard, AKA the albino polar bear. That's a great nickname. Yeah.

A raw and generational talent from the South. This South paw hunter has a chance to be one of the greats. He also has a chance to be the guy who doesn't realize his safety isn't on and fire a shot in the air on accident. Can you imagine? Yeah, exactly. We're just walking through the field,

like kind of quietly, it just, I imagine almost like Dwight in the office, like we're in the lot, we're like, we're somewhere indoors. And then Harrison has to say, safety is on. Like this has been off the whole time, dude. So dangerous. Oh, man. I do think that the guides will make it serious enough.

It's so fun, but they'll make it serious enough when I don't think anybody's gonna. That's good. Or like a boot camp experience. I told you that story the first year I went, there was a guy that was also a first timer. It's a big deal. Don't shoot the female birds. Don't shoot the like female

Don't shoot the hens. Yeah only shoot roost. Yes. Yes. Yes. So if something flies up They'll they'll yell out rooster or hen and if they sell yell rooster you're popping that thing, right? And there's a few times I it's not that hard to tell I don't think because the roosters are big and colorful and beautiful The hair are full. Yeah We're shooting like peacocks? I'm kind of imagining a peacock now. Now that you say that, they are 100% the exact same. I think they are peacocks. Yeah.

They just throw peacocks out there and they say it's pheasants. What if... Kind of much smaller, but like... Toucans. Beautiful, like kind of reddish, brownish, colorful. But like the hands are like gray. Gross. Yeah.

And they'll be like, hand, hand, hand! And there's a few times, I mean, it's going to happen. It almost always happens at least once where even if you don't hit it, people are shooting at that thing because they can't hear or whatever. Uh, and there was one guy that was with me, James, uh, my first year. We're both first timers. We're just like commiserating with each other. He says it kind of loud out in the field because we're talking across the field. He's like, Brad, I have a feeling that once you recognize if it's a hen or a rooster, it's going to get too far away.

So he's got to shoot at everything. And I was like guilty by associates. I was like, no, no, no, no. And the guy was like, no, you wait. Because they say like shooting a hen is like shooting 50 roosters or something like that. Okay. Because of the reproduction and stuff.

Oh, I thought it was like a kill streak. Like, hey, why would we- I got myself a hand. Yeah, why do the roosters if it's a 50 times multiplier? Anyway, I did like learning that we get unlimited ammo. Unlimited ammo, yeah. Awesome. Yeah, oh yeah.

Don't worry about it. Just go for it, baby. So yeah. It's like I found a turret in halo. What if one guy is just on the on the tractor, like the side by side. Get me closer to him. All right. It is fun.

You're going to love the strategy behind it is like there's a good group, like a semi-circle of guys that are walking forward, but then there's also a wall at the end of blockers. They call them. It's like four or five. That's where it gets a little bit sketchy. It's revolutionary war style. Yeah. We're facing each other. But it's cool because sometimes it's like pretty like, it's like,

OK, there's no birds here. It's pretty, you know, I guess, I guess there's nothing in this field. But what's happening is these pheasants are all trying to like stay on the ground, just run away from the dogs. I get it. But then once they hit that wall, they're like, well, we're in trouble now. We got to go. All of a sudden, it's just it is a blast, dude. It's so fun. So I think you're going to enjoy that aspect of it. Like just the sometimes it's like kind of slow for 10 minutes and all of a sudden it's rampage fireworks running riot. That's gonna be really fun So here's fireworks. They were going off all night last night were they it was like

It was like it was on some sort of timecode or something. It's like once every five minutes. Just like a distant pop I did not I was asleep but They were humming the the Trumpsters were popping popping some bottles. I don't know who I don't what they were celebrating I can imagine T on C T on C maybe let's see Harrison Pollard's Spontaneity 10 out of 10. Okay, laugh out loud one liners per hour over under two and a half so Anyway, it'll it'll be a fun time.

I'm excited. We're gonna have so many stories. I'm gonna be a blast. It's this weekend when you're listening to this. Yeah, yeah. We're leaving Friday. Come back Monday. Okay, so next Monday you guys will hear

hunting stories. Wow. Wow. That's fun. So yeah, I went to a wedding this past weekend. Here's there's plenty I could say, but here's my main takeaway. Benny and the Jet sucks. Just one jet.

Is this song Jets? I don't care who it is. Get him out of here. Benny and the Jet, the Rodriguez. Yeah, maybe that's what I'm thinking of. Say a lot. Benny and the Jet, the Rodriguez? Maybe that's what I'm thinking of, St. Lot. Benny and the Jets is the song? It is a very underwhelming song for a wedding, especially.

Man, that song's brutal. I was already, I was sitting there just like, you know, yeah, just sitting at the wedding, just hearing, Benny, Benny. I'm like, this is music? I don't think this is music. Thinking about how awful it is, and the next thing you know, I'm in Bass Pro the music? I don't think this is music. Thinking about how awful it is. And the next thing you know,

I'm in Bass Pro the next day trying on boots and Benny and the Jetsons comes on once again. Oh, we're playing this everywhere. It just dawned on me. This song sucks so much. Really? I don't think, I've never thought it sucks, but as a wedding song, first of all,

the ending, they do that part at the end 30 times. I'd rather hear the timeshare girl song. I am convinced there's certain songs that are only good if you're inebriated. And I think that's one of them. Cause I think there's something like, and first of all, I don't think I've ever even been drunk, but like there's something about the idea of like,

just I've seen so many guys just be like, Benny, Benny. And it's like, they're just sloppy, like, Benny on the dance. It's like, all right. That might be one of my least favorite things is seeing drunk white males saying anything. Yeah. Oh, it's the worst.

I saw it at the wedding as well. They were doing the sparker exit in the bride and groom. They're like, hey, the sparkers are still going. They're gonna run through the sparker one more time. And then groom, they're like, Hey, the sparklers are still going. They're going to run through the spark one more time. And then one drunk guy is like, one more time. And then another white guy comes in and he goes, we're gonna celebrate. And then they are jumping facing each other singing this daft punk song, acapella. Oh, it was brutal.

And then another guy goes, where's daft punk when you need them? And they go, Oh, oh, I'm gonna go with the song, acapella. Oh, it was brutal. And then the other guy goes, where's Daft Punk when you need him? And I go, oh, right. Dude, I totally get what you mean by that, man. Meanwhile, Rachel and I were on the opposite side of the aisle, we're just watching with our sparklers. And Rachel goes, you seen this? I was like, every bit, every bit of it.

That's my one thing that I enjoy about drunk people is that you could talk about them right in front of their face and they don't care. You watching this whole thing? Oh yeah. Oh man, that is rough. We're gonna celebrate. Oh yeah, all right, yeah!

Like Mr. Brightside, decent song. Not anything to, like, everyone acts like it's like such a fun song to just jump around to at a wedding I'm like if it's not a hip-hop song. It doesn't need to be played as a dance song in my opinion I was reminded once again How many reminders do I need that yeah by usher is the greatest like dance song like yeah We were going somewhere to take a picture Not that I was really dancing anyway, but as we were leaving the dance floor that song started

I was like, yeah, it is the best song ever made. I already knew that, but just a confirmation once again, that's a song you'd move your body to. What about it is so good. It like the chorus is literally saying yeah, 15 times. And it's like two notes, three notes. Yeah, whatever. That's it. And that's all you need. It's so good. So simple. It's, It's so good. So simple. It's, everything about it is perfect. It might be like our magnum opus. Like it's like this is our civilization. Yeah. As a society. Like we're just going backwards now. Like right now we're learning, you know, like Hattie's learning about Tchaikovsky or Beethoven. Like in 2000 years, are we going to be like, listen to this. Piece of A town down.

Boom, boom, boom, boom. Hold the head steady. I'm a milk the cow. So they had to milk their own cows back in the day. It's a farming song. It's an agricultural propaganda song. Right? The Midwest needed it.

It was paid for by. So they got milk in the 90s. And then in the 2000s They actually transitioned into influencer marketing with the guy named Chris bridges. They called ludicrous Let me go I gotta go back real quick. Sorry you want to talk about yeah, we'll talk about something I'll listen really loudly though. Okay Time wish we talk about oh we should talk about Shout out. What's his name Philip who put all the songs on about? Oh, we should talk about shout out. What's his name? Philip, who put all the songs on Spotify.

Oh, what's it called? Ghosties on your feet, Ghosties on the beat. Ghost runners type beats. Ghost runners type beats. I knew the ending syllable sound. I finally started listening to him. I was on my way to ACE Hardware last week and I put on your horse song.

And I forgot that you went back and produced it. And I can't believe how similar it sounds to the real song. Like I'm like, oh, you know what you're doing with music production. Thank you. And it got me really excited. I was like, I forgot about this. This sounds so much like the Justin Bieber song.

I texted you right then and there. And I said, do you want to come over tomorrow morning and write a Pickleball song? And then you responded like, is there any more context or I'm down, like what are you talking about? I was like, yeah, I don't know. That was like five hours ago, I was really excited. But anyway, still talking about it.

And you had a good idea yesterday and we're like, so my idea for a pickleball song is like something, the bar is still very low with pickleball content. I think it'd be fun to create something that people are like, oh my gosh, this is so fun and funny, whatever. Get time and involve singing a 45 second music video on Instagram. Timon had the idea. It's like, what if the song is also kind of like,

almost like a trending audio type thing. Like if people are ever posting about pickleball, it's like, well, I got to use this pickleball song. Yeah, totally. Yeah. That's a catchy and vibey enough somehow. Like, I don't know. Yeah. Is it better to just do a parody or is it better to do your original song?

I think parody is so much easier, but I'm not the music guy. Yeah, like with the Justin Bieber song, the instrumentals there. I guess we just have to and you already know exactly what you need to do to your voice too to make it. Yeah. Yeah, parody so much and because you have you have a proof of concept. You already know it's catchy. Like this song was a number one hit, we know it's good. TJ's had a few real audio things that have popped off before. Yeah.

It's cool, it's cool when that happens. So who knows? If it was like right now, I should probably focus on Black Friday, yada yada, all the other stuff. But someday, oh yeah, maybe we'll have a Pickleball song. Maybe the Black Friday song is a thing. Maybe it's a song about Black Friday.

It's to the tune of Friday by Rebecca Black. Holy cow. Black Friday. And then it's not Pickleball. It's Black Friday. It's Black Friday trending audio. That's not. That's that'll reach more people.

Say the T on C, we go T on M. Target's picked it up. Yeah. Target is? Target has. Bed Bath & Beyond's a maybe. Sharper Image. Hamerka Slimmer's a no.

Yeah. Oh man. Okay.arkas, Slimmers and No. Okay, so wedding was a good time though. I saw it was rainy. Yeah. Was it outside? Outdoor November wedding in the rain. Ty, what's so funny over there? Just how you said it. Yeah, I mean, all things considered

for an outdoor November wedding, we got very lucky because it was still like 59, 60 degrees. So it wasn't miserable cold, but yeah, it was raining and there was no backup plan. So it was just like, we sat in the rain for a little bit. They had us all sit outside and they were just waiting for the wedding to start. Ten minutes go by, no umbrella. I think umbrellas are a gender thing, yes? I, no, I, no, but I don't think they work very well.

I don't, I don't, I don't need them. I have, yeah, so. I feel like when I, when I, if I'm moving, if I'm mobile with an umbrella, I don't think it's making a, a lick of difference. Not a lick of difference, but like. On your head, basically. It can't be extended at all.

Like if I ever use my umbrella with my kids, I'm, there's no, there's not enough for all of us. I'm just putting on the kid anyway. And then I don't, I don't think they're that I want. If I, if I want an umbrella, I want a huge one. It's gotta be massive. I want a canopy on top of me. Yeah.

And I would love if they made a backpack version. So I don't hold it Yeah, maybe they do. Yeah, I've talked about this before the podcast that the umbrella has not gone through any like Improvements or advancements no inventions. Nothing has been added on to the umbrella. Yeah, it used to be kind of dome-y Dome-y you should you should really go more flat He's me. Yeah, you know like a little bit more of like a mushroom cap. I just can't, we can't think of anything better. It's all we got. Yeah, they need to have like a mobile, like, like almost like a phone booth

looking thing that just like follows, like you just get in it. But then as you move, it moves. When I move, you move umbrella. Yeah. Anyway, I just think women are good with water. They always bring water bottles. Okay. And they always bring umbrellas when they know it's gonna rain.

Like as a guy, I don't bring either of those things. Oh yeah, Catherine has one in her car. And never would I ever. Yeah. Even if she's like, hey, it's gonna rain today. All right. Well, I'll just park close. I'll just, yeah, I'll just scamper.

I'll just scamper in, scamper out. Yeah, right. Make sure it's unlocked before I, you know, open the door to leave. It's raining? Oh, what happened to this country? Yeah. Yeah. That's what happens.

Yeah, it makes sense. Is there a sign on my back? Anyway, so just a lot of sitting in the rain. And then they're like, all right, attention. We're gonna, it's like a baseball rain delay. Right, everybody in the dugouts. So then we go into this house and then we just waited for like 45 minutes

and then went back outside and had the wedding outside. Okay. Angie Coop was the officiant. That's right. Because this couple, actually they've already, they've been legally married for a year already. So it didn't really matter who's the officiant. So like, we like Angie.

They said actually they asked her to be the officiant because she did such a good job speaking at our rehearsal dinner. Which is an interesting reason to choose somebody to be your officiant, but she did a great job. She did do a good job. I was very impressed with how emotional she was

without crying. Like she like had emotion, had heart behind her speech, but like was able to do it well without like breaking down. And no notes. No notes. I don't know how your pastor preaches, but Rachel, I can't get over. I mean, for the longest time we've been going to this church and he does he memorize all of it? Cause he's up there 45 minutes, no

notes, no notes. He's got like a PowerPoint to go along with it. But most of the time, it's like what he's saying compared to what's on the PowerPoint is like a hundred to one ratio. It's like so much is in between the slides. I don't know when he, as Stephen Angie came to church with us this weekend, Steve goes, I think he might be a genius. I don't know how else you memorize all that stuff. Yeah. Every single week. That's kind of fun. I am. It is such an underrated skill to be a teaching pastor. Yeah. Like in how much time and energy that takes along with all the other responsibilities they have to do. Like, yes. And not only do they have to like execute it, they have to do it. They have to know what they're talking about. Like they have to do it well. It's

not just like, well, I got up there and spoke. Just phone this one in. Yeah, yeah. A few days before election day, this one's probably not a big one. Nah, I don't think so. No one's worried at all now. Yeah, it's like, it's amazing what they. Yeah, anytime anyone can say anything without notes,

I'm always impressed. But anyway, Angie did a great job. Rachel was the matron of honor. So she, so they were, they were all speaking plenty this weekend. Rachel had a really good speech, brought the house down, really funny. No surprise, honestly.

Yeah, did a good job. Her and Catherine both really good speakers, really funny speakers. So Rachel did a good job. She told a story about how they were, her and Maddie were young entrepreneurs. So like at the age of like six, they started their own, instead of a lemonade stand, they had a,

they made bracelets. They had a bracelet stand. And they, very early on they hired an employee as her younger brother, Tim, who didn't know he was an employee. He was just allowed to play with Rachel. And then she said, she said, we had one employee and zero customers because we lived on the highway.

So no one stopped. I don't know why we even sat out there. It's like doing a lemonade stand on I-35. Yeah, right. No one's stopping. No one. Yeah, no one is stopping. You know, we're going 60 miles an hour. That's funny. Put your hands up. Playing my song. Butterflies fly away. Not in my head like ham. Did I do it? Moving my head like ham. Did I do it? Move on my hips like ham. Yeah. Hammy, hammy, ham, ham, ham.

This is the ad. No, this is a great start. I think honestly, this is great. Hey, we're sponsored by good ranchers.com. It's American meat delivered and we got hams and we want you guys to have hams. Hopped off the ham at LA ham. With my ham in a cart again.

Say who's that chick that's rocking hams? She's gotta be from ham of town. It would be funny. I can't think of this quickly to do it, but like when there was a very obvious time to rhyme with him, say the original word in the song and the one time that's actually quick parks and rec show John Ralph, he always says one too many syllables like after it rhymes. So he's like freestyling. He's the best guy in all of Pawnee, Indiana.

Yeah, I do think about that. Little things like that, if we were ever to live out in the country, like, well, they couldn't do this. They couldn't have a lemonade stand. We have to Or they I asked Rachel the other night like what you guys do for halloween like did you trick or treat? She's like, yeah, we went and drove into town. Yeah and parked and would walk around the neighborhoods. It's kind of fun How was your guys's halloween? It was good. Uh, this is our second year of not not trick or treating. Yeah Which good. This is our second year of not not trick or treating. Yeah. Which, to be honest, it's it's way more Catherine's decision than mine, but I don't have strong enough opinions to be like

Halloween's the best. We have to trick or treat. I grew up as Joe Montana. You don't understand. Yeah. Like I even talked about it with you the other day of like, I mean, yeah, Halloween was never like that. Like I wasn't a big costume guy growing up or anything. But yeah, you were the same costume over and over. I think I was a robot three or four years in a row.

My mom made like this cardboard robot with like dryer sheet or dryer, those dryer tubes, you know, those like metal tubes kind of. Oh, oh yeah. Back of the dryer. Like those were my arms and I don't, every year, she's like, what do you want to do? I was like, I'll just do the same robot thing robots. Good. That works. Yeah, mom

if you have a picture of that posted on our Facebook or something, but Yeah, I never really cared still don't really think highly of costume stuff But so we we did like a little fall fest a couple weeks earlier where they dressed up But for actual Halloween we carved pumpkins and we watched Charlie Brown's Halloween special or whatever. And we had this massive caramel apple chocolate covered caramel covered caramel apple. It was like multiple layers. It was awesome. Uh, cool. And we just ate that and good night. Yeah, that was great. And then we went and hung out with you. That was, that was, that's right. Yeah. You came over. That was great. Well, fire pit action. Yeah. On the driveway, which was really fun. That was a great night. Uh, that was great. And then we went and hung out with you. Oh, that's right. Yeah, you came over. That was great. A little fire pit action on the driveway, which was really fun.

That was a great night. That was when we learned that Steve Coop's hands might be the wimpiest hands of all time. I forgot about that. So Jake's doing this, he's got his solo stove going in that driveway, like his fire pit. And there are a few times where Steve would get close and put his hands out, and be like, ha, it's so hot. Oh man. Whoa, this is so hot guys. And we put our hands there and he couldn't believe that we could keep, like he could not keep his hands there for longer than three seconds. Oh yeah. I mean, I mean all of us could do it for 20,

30. And eventually it was like, okay, that's kind of hot. Like that's, I think that's going to burn me eventually. But I mean, he couldn't get over how I couldn't get over him. I was like, okay, that's kind of hot. Like that's, I think that's gonna burn me eventually. But I mean, he couldn't get over how, I couldn't get over him. I was like, what's going on here? I know, I was like, do you need to see a doctor? Why can't you feel heat? Cause it's not like he's, if anything, his hands are definitively tougher than our hands.

Like he is a farmer. Like he is. He said this harvest, I mean, it hasn't rained in two months so all they've done is work. Yeah. They've had no days off. Yeah, it hasn't rained in two months. All the dough has worked. Yeah. They've had no days off. Yeah. It's 12 hour days over and over and over.

Oh, Jake's just got these calloused hands that don't feel pain. And social media. Yeah. That's right. Oh, all my golfing, you know, really calluses up those fingers. So kind of a surprising little development there. Yeah. I don't know what that was.

Maybe his hands are so dry. They can't take on heat. Yeah. No cushion. Yeah. I don't know what that was. Maybe his hands are so dry. They can't take on heat. Yeah. No cushion. Yeah, that was really funny. We also learned, this is where I thought you were gonna say, he had multiple stories of like getting pulled over or being in a terrible scenario.

And then the cop like someone else getting in a worse situation right before he's about to be, Right. You know, ticketed or whatever. The Lord has looked down kindly on Steve Koop in his life. There's like, I bet he's got, I've heard at least three, maybe four stories of yeah, times where it's like, I was about to get in a lot of trouble

and then I didn't get in trouble for some reason. I'm like, wow. I was wearing my yellow hat, next thing you know, I'm in the Wisconsin Dells. Like one time, yeah, he was like, I was just driving really late at night and I just ran a stop sign in my semi truck because no one else was out on the roads and there was a cop right

there and they just didn't pull me over for some reason. That's the most mild one probably, but like whatever. I mean, it's just like, wow, you're just, you're just lucky man. Yeah, it was fun. That was a fun night hanging out with you guys. It was fun. We talked about the chickens. I told them the chicken story.

You ever heard that on the podcast? Way back in the day? Maybe? I don't know. Well, another time. I'm sure I've heard it because I think I've listened to everything. But yeah. Brad was in charge of a ton of chickens and then pretty quickly he didn't have to be in charge of any chickens. Yeah, they just were like, relinquish your responsibility. We're home early. Nope, that's not how they all died.

I'm sure that that's just, I know I've told that story on the podcast. Yeah, for sure. And then of course, Steve living on a farm and having all sorts of livestock and everything had plenty of stories to follow that up with. It was great. Yeah, their dog would just go and get one chicken at a time. What was it? There was one story where he was like, yeah, there were 1300 chickens that this dog killed.

1300? No, 130. I don't know.'s it one three definitely sticks out in my mind Yeah, I think it was over a hundred chickens that their dog had killed It was it was it was 130 because they said each chicken cost $10 So he's like, yeah, I had to write this guy checked for $1,300. Yeah Like golly, that's too bad. Yeah, just this dog having a field day just run right day for that dog. Wow, that's fun anyway, it's always fun to hang out with them and Hear all about yeah all their stories and stuff. So did you vote at uh, do you vote yesterday?

No, I voted early. I voted a couple weeks ago a couple weeks. I don't know when I think it was good for you What made you vote two weeks early? Um the line the idea of, I could do it so quick. Yeah. Rachel, I was so Rachel, I wanted to go together. We couldn't go till she was like home from work. So we went out like 515 also expecting like, oh, the lines are about to be insane.

Easy peasy. Johnny Town Hall in and out. Oh, nice. It's great. It was funny afterwards, Rachel and I are debriefing. And you know, because there's the main ballots, Kansas didn't have any governor race. There weren't a ton of things to vote for.

It was like, you know, house representative, Senator, President, a couple other things. Sheriff was on the first page. And then the whole second page is just yes or no questions. Not question, just should this judge stay in? And I'm looking at this being like, I'm not educated on this. I don't know anything about these people one guy had last name triplet. Yeah, maybe I don't know I still don't know anything. So I just left all that blank. I was like, I don't know anything about this and then

as we're rocking out Like what'd you do about the judges? I was like, oh, I just left him blank. I was like, what'd you do? She said I voted them all back in She's like she said I thought this is so funny she said I was like, really? She's like, she literally said, I thought this was so funny. She said, I'm not gonna be the one to fire them. I'm not getting them kicked out of a job. That's funny.

No blood on my hands. She's like, come on, they're good. They're trying to judge people. I bet they like it. Let them keep judging. That's amazing. Yeah, she said she voted yes on every single one of them, which makes sense, cause I was,

she got there before me and I was done before her. So yeah, she was clicking yes on every single one of them which makes sense because I was she got there before me And I was done before her so yeah, she was clicking yes on every single judge That was really nice of her. I'm looking at my cheat sheet now Triplet seems to lean liberal they said okay One of my one of my friends in the that works at the Capitol she gave us like a rundown of all the judges Oh, you had like a fantasy football cheat sheet kind of, yeah. I wouldn't spend more than $8 on this judge. Yeah, she listed like four judges, like they were all appointed by this, our governor's a liberal governor,

and so they're all appointed by this governor, and so they seem to lean more liberal. Gotcha. But anyway. It feels like one of those things that, yeah, maybe I should have done my homework and been more educated about it, but also I'm 33 right now,

and so far a judge has not once impacted my life that I know of. So if they are working to impact my life, do a better job letting me know about it, and then I'll vote for you. I put this on them. Have you voted before? Is this your first time?

No, I voted before. Okay, nice. Romney. Back in the day. I'm pretty sure. Yeah. Back when, back when politics were boring and no one knew anything about them. Yeah. And I, I remember, I mean, yeah, 2012, 12 years ago and it was all paper, no electronics at all. Really? Yeah. It was Bolivar. I was going to say, where you're from. Yeah. I was

falling out of Scantron in 2012. I saw people, I have friends that live in Europe and they were voting, like mail-in ballot voting from Europe. For us? Yeah, they're American citizens still. So I'm like, wow, good for you. Good for you. Getting after it, I guess. So anyway, yeah, crazy times, man.

Go judges. Go judges. Let's see, what else? Oh, I mentioned that I got both some new sweatshirts from Costco, he's pumped about them. They're Nike and he loves, like, when we have the same thing, we're wearing the same thing. Whether it's like, we go to church

and we have the same color shirt or- Kids look good going to church the other day. Thank you, yes. Lookin' nice. I mean, it's 95 we go to church and we have the same color shirt or it's a good going to church the other day Thank you. Yes. They nice. I mean it's 95% Catherine's doing but I'm in charge of I'm in charge of doing both hair. I put some gel in his hair. Did you yeah? Yeah, we always comb his hair on Sunday mornings and I put on the belt sometimes, you know, yeah so He loves belt combing a boy's hair just seems like an American pastime. It does feels like an old-fashioned thing Yeah, I don't know why it just feels like I Don't know why this one came to mind

But in the movie water boy She like she tells him like Bobby go to bed. I'll be in to comb your hair It just seems like it's a it's like it's just a simple. Yeah, just pleasant tree. I do remember my dad talking about his dad Yeah combing his hair like on Sunday mornings. Yeah, I'm like, okay It's just like a thing you do I can imagine little like black and white opi Taylor on the end You go for the show getting his hair combed by aunt B. Yeah, just Americana. So yeah, they are cute But uh, so yeah now every time Bo wears Nike he wants me to find something Nike Well, you say well, all right, Joe B. Ack But uh, so yeah now every time Bo wears Nike he wants me to find something Nike

Say well our HOB a CK. We're back. Yeah Yeah, I need to give him some Roebuck stuff. That'd be great. Yeah, KC 20 It's a great gift guys if you want to uh, hey, it's gift-giving season. So you're KC 20 for 20% for sure anyway, but I had I got him the wrong size of one of sweatshirts had to take it back to Costco and in order to return something, you have to be the right person on the card. And normally I just pretend to be Catherine every time. And so like, we need to get you your own card. And so now I officially have my own Costco card.

And I am drunk with power. I've been like three times since then to be like, you want me to do something? You want me to get something from Costco? I know who you need to go to Costco with Steve Koo If you can imagine how much you know how much he spins on the beaches of Honduras you can imagine how much he spins It's out of a Costco sure yeah, especially if they're I mean they're not close to one probably and so when they're going to Costco It's a it's a commitment. Yeah, it's like if they've driven to or from Kansas City on one of those

You know stops. Yeah, they they are in Des Moines, getting after it. What kind of, what's he loading up on? I mean, just typical stuff. Like, it's like if you said, all right, Steve, on this episode of Shop Till You Drop, instead of trying to get the most money or the least money, try to find the nastiest thing in this whole store.

And Steve Koop will be walking out with it and probably cracking it open and eating it before he gets in his car. I mean, I forgot what he texted. It's going to take a while to find, but it's just it's crazy. His first time at Bucky's, he came back and he says picture two days later and it was Bucky's pickled beets and it was an empty jar. He said these things were amazing. Oh, he talked about that on.

They didn't talk about Bucky's. We talked about how he loves beats at the fire pit. All sorts of just nasty stuff. It's like you've mentioned a few times where it's like, yeah, you know, he doesn't really train, but then he does a 5K just fine. And I'm like, I think he might secretly be super healthy. Like, like some of the things he said, like, yeah, he's really into pickles and beats and all these different things.

Oh, yeah. I'm trying to remember another one that he says where it's just like, really, you're just you're just getting after that. Yeah, it just needs a bunch of weird stuff that comes from the ground that you've never thought of eating. You would have never thought about jarring and throwing juice inside of it. He'll find that at Costco. I'm like, can you believe this? Look how big this thing is. Look at this red, red peppered on onion pickled Yeah, eat deal there got going time. What about like I'm assuming you guys stock up

Yeah, quite often your Sam's Club family, which I know it's okay What? Like is there anything that's like every time versus sometimes versus this is a treat I can't believe we got the the individual mini muffins this time or something like that. Yeah, I feel like the the big treat is ever like a really sweet cereal, like, OK, occasionally like Lucky Charms, even like Honey Nut. You're kind of a treat like, OK, we're typically like, what's the kind of it's got like little almonds in it.

How many bunches of oats? Yeah, yeah, that's that's when we typically have. Oh, I think that's sweet, though. Yeah, yeah, it's just like lucky charms. Love got some in the pantry. I don Oh, I think that's sweet though. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah, it's just like lucky charms Love got some in the pantry. I don't like get the almonds out though. Yeah You all those guys? I mean if they're surrounded by good company, I'll put up with them. Sure It's not it's not like a deal breaker, but it's like you don't need to be here. Yeah, it's like the it's raisins in the trail mix Come on yeah, you're right. I thought you're going to say in, in cookies and I, that is a deal breaker. Yeah. Cause that's not surrounded

by enough good company. Nope. Nope. Yep. Okay. So you get some honey bunches of votes. Yeah. Yeah. Trying to think of what else. Like I love saying, one thing I love about Sam's is like the, or I used to with like the free samples and stuff. Yeah. Just like we'd always try to stop, but I feel like now I haven't been there in a bit, or I used to with like the free samples and stuff. Yeah. Just like we'd always try to stop. But I feel like now I haven't been there in a bit, but I feel like they don't have as many, I don't know. Or just like it's less exciting stuff. Ghosties out there.

Somebody's going to know the science behind this because it does feel like there's certain certain times at Costco where the samples are run and rampant and other times where it's like they're non-existent. And so I bet there's a time where it's like they always bring out the samples at 1 p.m. to 6 p.m. They don't do it on Saturday. Whatever. Something if somebody out there knows this information, I would gladly listen and hear about it. So comment below. I don't know. You know, so Tiansi might be done soon getting overheating wording on this camera.

Oh, it's low on it. We got a little fan or something. We'll have to get on there. Might have to use. I have to buy him a camera after all. We're trying to use my camera. Simon has to look the best. OK.

Sony a seven set as seven. Yeah. D D. Anyway, let's see I uh What time do we start recording this just trying to be aware? I've got my uh, my follow-up acupuncture appointment Right after this so unfortunately, I won't get to talk about it on the podcast today or on Wednesday's episode, but Next week you'll hear all about it. How yeah, I Still I still would put at least a hundred dollars down that it's gonna work Wow. I feel I feel so confident

What should? I'm actually trying to think through this myself like what are how do I start to test it out? I Would just get I would probably if if if the right answer is like get some Natural like get some good ranchers beef or something like that. That's like, okay, we know it's good stuff. Yeah. Raw straight up.

Don't get, don't go to Taco Bell and you get their grade F, you know, ground beef. Or is that the litmus test? Cause I know five years ago, Taco Bell made me sick. Yeah, true. I think you work up to that though. Cause either way, I feel like whether you're allergic to red meat or not, reintroducing it back into your diet is gonna be a little bit of a shock to the system,

from what I hear. Like doesn't Rachel not eat a ton of red meat? Correct. And if she does, like, I don't know. I knew people that were like, I don't eat red meat, and then they did, and they like took it slow. Yeah, I feel like I should take it slow. Maybe Chipotle would be a safer like steak at

Chipotle or something like that. It feels like a lot of quantity, maybe half a burrito or something. Yeah. Wow. It's starting to dawn on me. Steak might be back. That's so exciting. It is. I've had steak in five years, but yeah, today we got a six hour road trip. That doesn't feel like the day to test it out. I wouldn't test it out until you're back home with my toilet. Yep. Yeah. Because in Thursday is Rachel's Hall of Fame induction. Yeah. Doesn't feel like the data tested out Friday, though. Iowa toilet. They redid the guest bathroom. When you're coming home the next day. Right. No, no, no. We're going to be up there all weekend.

OK. My family is coming up to Rachel. Still cannot believe that my parents are driving up. You know, it's like an eight or nine hour drive to see her. She's like, it's a 30 second walk. And my dad is just like refusing to not be there. Oh, it's it's the principle of it. Yeah, he's like, we don't have a lot of chances in our family to make any kind of Hall of Fame.

This is all we have. He's said that multiple times. He's very adamant. It's like, we don't have any Hall of Famers. This is it. I mean, that's amazing. That's as high of an honor as you can get for high school in Iowa.

Which I know that, whatever, high school in Iowa, that's not that big compared to other things. But it's like, well, if you're gonna get it, that's the highest it is. Made it happen. So, that's not that big compared to other things. But it's like, well, if you're going to get it, that's the highest it is. Made it happen. So that's fun. So your parents are coming up. Yeah. They have a big, big weekend at the Coops house. Fun. I just texted Steve.

We'll see. Most of the time, his phone is dead. So I don't think we'll get text back. But I said, recording the podcast right now. Can you remind me what are your favorite things to get from Costco? So maybe we'll hear back. And I went and tried to find those quinoa cookies. Oh yeah. Couldn't, nowhere to be found.

And I searched those quinoa cookies. People said they're at Costco, not in the Kansas City. And I searched. So. And I searched. I searched and searched. I did have an idea. I don't think I'll end up making this video,

but so I'm gonna go back, see Dr. Ron today. I think I'm gonna ask him just like, hey, do you mind if I film some of this, set my phone up or whatever? I wanna make like an Instagram, a TikTok video. The start of it is a clip of me in the doctor's office, a clip of the ear going at whatever. It's in like voiceover.

I had experimental acupuncture to eradicate my red meat allergy that I got from a tick bite. I think it's a pretty hot start to a video. That's a unique sentence. Maybe no one's ever said. And then from there, you're like hooked in like, oh, I'm along for the ride in this narrative, this story, what's gonna happen?

I explained like five years ago this, and they say that if I do this in the ear, it's gonna work. Now I'm about to eat my first bite of bacon in five years. And then it goes from like kind of like reality to then like a Dark twist or whatever like hard cut to like me like vomiting, you know Like fake vomiting it just like having the worst time of my life Like have it like getting having an exorcism performed on me on the toilet or something. It is like, oh my gosh

Oh my there's so much blood. Why is there blood? Oh my gosh, so we'll see maybe I'll make that video This would be where are you posting this my own Instagram? Jake yep Because I do want to document this somehow oh, yeah, maybe I'll just do it straight up Just how it actually goes down dude. Yeah, I'll save for the podcast. Oh, I want to either way we're talking about the podcast yes week we got to hear all about it because I Feel what do you think timing? Well, I want to either way. We're talking about the podcast. Yes, we got to hear all about it because I feel. What do you think, Timon prediction?

It seems like likely. I don't know. It seems like. I don't know. Maybe I'm just optimistic. I just hope for your sake, you can eat steak. Right. This podcast has never known Jake as a steak eater. That's right. I mean, that's pretty much right. When we started the podcast is right. Like maybe a couple of weeks in is when you figured it you figured is it really I think that's crazy timing. I'm pretty sure it's yeah It has right around there So I believe in you buddy. I believe in doctor on I believe

the power of dr. On the power of on Steve Cooper spotted he, Adidas socks. OK. Which is funny. Oranges. OK. Pretty normal so far. Organic raspberries.

Yeah. Kirkland mixed nuts. OK. Anything at the food court. I've never food courted at Costco. Oh, really? Yeah. That's the main thing I've bought there.

Really? Yeah, I love the food courted sandwich. Yeah, a little smoothie. Yeah. Good pizza, too. Good pizza. Yeah comes out hot the cheese has a little um I'll call it pan Gia e moves around a lot the tectonic plate You know it when you take a bite it doesn't stay where it's supposed to there's a chance You might get all cheese in one bite and yeah be done and just eating bread and tomato sauce later You're seeing breadsticks and marinara. Yeah

Yeah, pretty good. I've heard the chicken bake is good. It's got bacon. Okay So I texted Steve I said no beats. He said oh yes in giant jars of it also bread and butter pickles Maybe a timeshare They did have a person at like the Costco vacations as I was walking out the other day. And I was like, I'm not going to talk to this person, but I bet somebody does. So, oh my gosh. Fun times.

Fun times, man. We, I've been trying to meal prep this week. What are you using? Good Ranchers chicken. And what I used, we good. But I was going to do like a bunch of chicken breasts. And I was going to use the same marinade. It's like marinate. You have to like put it either overnight or whatever, like just help make the chicken taste better when you grill it. And I'm not very familiar with this stuff, but I'm trying to take it in my own hands.

I'm not trying to put more on Catherine's plate. And so when we were doing dads on Maui, we did marinade for this fajita chicken. And it went great. And so I looked at that same recipe and I was like, I'll just use half of it for this one. I should have used 1 16th of it. Oh, okay.

It was a lot of seasoning on the amount of chicken. I used, so as I'm doing it, Catherine's in the living room, I'm in the kitchen, and it's not looking great. It just looks like dry rubbed seasoning. Like it doesn't look like it looks when Catherine does it, you know? And so I'm like, hey, do you mind when you get a chance just come over here and look at this.

And she was really kind about it, but she was also like in my head, I was like, she thinks I'm an idiot. You don't messed up. She's like, oh yeah, oh my God. Oh, yeah, this is way too much. This is, oh yeah, this is going to be really salty. Like this is going to be crazy. She's like, I would add some more chicken in here.

Like I think initially I had eight chicken breasts and by the end of it, I think I had 14. And still when I grilled, it was still crazy salty. Pungent. Yes. You would think though, yeah, if it was like, it is fed 12 guys, I'm going to have this for seven days. Yeah.

Maybe it's half. I know. I was like, we used three packages of chicken thighs, which are skinnier and smaller. So there's probably more quantity, but chicken breasts are bigger. And so I don't know, but I was like, I don't know. But as I was like dumping it in,

like mixing it with the chicken, I was like, that is way too much. I could just tell, I was like, this is not good. But I've still been snacking, I've been eating it. It's been great. So yeah, anyway, shout out to Good Ranchers. Yeah, Rachel's been making a lot of Good Ranchers. She made white chicken chili last night.

Oh, something, something in there. It was amazing. Really? Yeah, I wanted more. She said, that's it. Oh, I said, leave them wanting more. Well, she said, no, you can have more, but I was going to eat some for lunch tomorrow. I was like, oh, I'll take the lunch, take the lunch. Good for her. I'll eat more cornbread. Oh, I said, leave them one more. Well, she said, no, you can have more, but I was gonna eat some for lunch tomorrow.

I was like, oh, take the lunch, take the lunch. Good for her. I'll eat more cornbread. Yeah, ooh. Cornbread good too. Yeah. We got famous Dave's cornbread mix. Ooh. Big famous Dave's.

Okay. Rachael also made just good ranchers chicken, but with, dang it, what's the C3B roast? Yeah, yeah. C3B roast. Still so good. Oh yeah, what kind, you know? Pitting good. Crispy Sage.

I love the Crispy Sage. It's nuts. Yeah. That's one of my favorites. Crispy Sage and their Greek grilled chicken, I think. Yeah. So hey, sponsor the podcast. We'll talk about you two years later.

That's right. Anyway, but yeah, the marinade was too much. Little, little, little much. But I, but I'm like too whatever to like not eat it. Like I'm going for this. It's good. Range was chicken. I'm not throwing that away.

Yeah. And I'm not scraping it off even. I'm committing. No, no, no. You're like rinsing it into the sink. No, it's almost, it's like an apple. You got to rinse off your chicken. So, and you know, what's funny is I posted on our story on our Instagram story, this

picture of the chicken, and tag good Rangers in everything. And Steven Swick was like, dude, I gotta know what kind of marinade that is. You want some? And I was like, maybe make like an eighth of this recipe or something. Like, so that's fun. Yeah, it was a good time. So trying to get if you guys have good marinades out there holler at me Trying to get more of a foodie guy myself good for you

Trying to be better at it because there's we have good ranchers chicken in our freezer and there's so many times where i'm like It's not ready yet.

Honestly, a lot of like breakfast on my way somewhere, on my way to correct opinions, on my way to mood swings, whatever. Hey, I'm way to football.

Chicken minis, easy peasy. Anyway, stopped by yesterday and our buddy Drew Severance is out front. So I roll my window down all right in in a Tesla vehicle you get a lot of the The same remarks and the same comments. I'm gonna give you a guess What I rolled on my window. Hey Drew, how's it going? He said something it was it was Referring to my car.

It's probably the most basic, the most common thing that gets said to you, what do you think it was? Oh, the most basic and common thing. Yeah. My first reaction, I don't think this is the answer, but something about how quiet it is. Okay. Tymon, help me out.

Any other thoughts? Oh, snuck up on me. I don't know. I know the answer, because Jake was talking about this. Oh yeah, we were talking about this yesterday. Oh, snuck up on me. I don't know. Let's see. I know the answer because Jake was talking about the Tesla. Oh yeah, we were talking about the Tesla. Oh, okay. Other things that are, what would I say about somebody with a Tesla? Whoa, look at these, there are no handles. I think the handles is like something that people have commented about a lot.

Something about Elon Musk. I don't know. It was the classic, oh, that thing drive itself here. Oh, really? Yeah. You get that one the most. Yeah. Yeah. And then I always, you know, some kind of wisecrack back. Yeah. I've been asleep. I just woke up. I sleep in here and it drives me here in the morning. I got a pillow in the back. Yeah. I just turned into an old man. And how about that rain lately? Man. Fully revert my personality. They drive itself here. I think drive itself here. Um, I don't know why I felt needed to bring that up. We're just talking chicken.

I just love Chick-fil-A. That's yeah. I feel like so often people think they're original about little like Jake from State Farm. People probably also think that's, I bet no one's ever heard this joke. Like that's how I've felt when I was, yeah, delivering beer back when I was in high school, helping out with that company. Oh, let me guess. All right, you would drop off beer at like a restaurant, anyone who needs a large quantity of beer?

Yeah, anywhere that sells beer, we would supply it in the county. So you're coming in with like a dolly? Mm-hmm, yeah. All right, two things come to mind. How many of any guesses? No. You, uh, you drinking on the job or a second, man, this guy's got a job I want. Yeah, that's good. No dream job right here. How do I get your job, man? You want to switch me? Spets? Come on. What? I'll start it. You given given any free samples? Yep. Free samples is a big one.

And then another one. I felt like this one was specifically when we were delivered to gas stations. I don't know why. Probably because there's more people. You're giving any free samples? It's the same phrase. Just who wants to be a sampler? Yeah. Come on, it's election year. You can say whatever you want. That's how it works. No, the guy would say, you can go ahead and go, no, you can go ahead and go put that.

You go ahead and just unload that in my trunk if you want. Yep, put that in the back of my truck. It was always, it was always the back of my truck. I don't even know if they were always driving trucks, but yeah, you just go ahead and put it all in the back of my truck if you want. Yep, put that in the back of my truck. It was always, it was always the back of my truck. I don't even know if they were always driving trucks, but yeah, you just go ahead and put it all in the back of my truck if you want to. Dude, I bet, yeah, you just heard the same things over and over, didn't you?

And I don't, for whatever reason, that stuff doesn't bother me. I just laugh the same awkward. Yeah, no. Yeah. Dude. Thank you for holding the door. That's Zach.

Any interaction with any stranger in public, he'll just laugh the entire time. And also just like his whole tone of voice just like deepens and changes. Like, I've noticed that. Like maybe he holds the door open for like a random guy. He's like, thank you sir. He's like, yep, no, no problem, sir.

No problem. He's like, I do accept tips. I'm joking. I'm joking I'm joking Good impression. Oh I do accept tips. That's great. Yeah and most the time he doesn't realize it like we were at IHOP and it's like And you sir, he's like, can I get the breakfast sampler?

It's like you you don't you're speaking octave above this normally. I know it's- It's like he's a radio DJ or something. And Silverlore City, Branson, he got on the microphone. Yeah, you make fun of him. I was like, yeah, why are you talking so deep all of a sudden? What's going on? Stage voice. And it's like, I don't think he really realizes he's doing it,

but we make fun of him all the time. I do, I think I might do that sometimes. At Home Depot, I'm trying to be more manly. Like, how you doing? Hey, how you doing? Hey, how you doing? There's for sure like a nice thing. I like I feel like and just like laughing I I like laugh at somebody or like with I don't know just like sure to fill the I don't know the interaction. Yeah. Yeah Anyway, you know put them the back of my truck

Yeah, I'm sure I'm sure you got that a lot. Well, you guys have your hands full or something like that Are these all yours? Yeah every time yeah man, they're all yours Yeah, it's fine. I just so much of my personality is desperately trying to avoid any of that That is can't help but notice it when it comes a pattern. Yeah Sometimes i'll i'll beat myself up and I, I bet they hear that all the time. Dang it. Oh, really?

I gotta be better. Really? That's not a that's not a unique thing to say. Oh, it happened recently. I'm not going to think of it right now. It's a pretty big like win, though, if you feel like you have kind of a clever thing, but like. Not not so clever that they don't get the joke and they're like,

has anybody ever called you this before? And they're like, no, not, no. Yeah. They're like, sweet. Yes. Your name's Dana, I'm gonna call you Mockadana. All right. Anybody called you Matt?

Hey, Mockadana. Everybody called you that before? No, never. All right. Mockadana it is. Yeah. So good times. I think I'm gonna have more Zach stories

on the Wednesday episode. I'm gonna save those to have more Zach stories on the Wednesday episode. I'm going to save those. Just spending the whole day with him yesterday. Fun. I this doesn't really story. So I'm going to add it right now. Did see Zach at church the other day. Oh, yeah. He said he mentioned that. Yeah. Working there or something. Still don't really understand exact. Do you understand what the video is for?

It sounds like it's like a mic'd up thing for like that's what I've heard. It's like the pastors there or something like Maybe just like a sneak peek into yeah their interaction. I'm not exactly sure like a day in the life kind of thing Yeah, something like that and they started with sam who's the children's pastor who? Is good to start with but also I think is going to be by far the best content like yeah if it's like okay This concept works because sam this was really good more they're going to, they're going to do it with the, you know, senior adults pastor. And they're going to be like, Oh, it was a lot of weather. Bless you.

Yeah. Good morning. Yeah. The coffee's kind of hot. Just stay warm. Yeah. Come on in. Good morning.

Hey, stay in warm. Yes. Hey, good morning. Hey, stay in dry. Yeah. Greeters team. Something like that. Cause Sam is like every single kid that walks in,

he like yells their name and like, you know, gets so excited to see them and all this stuff. It's just so fun. I just know that he's unique in that way. It's good content. Yeah, I did a lead worship for the first time for kids this past week. That's what I heard.

Yeah? Yeah. Who told you? Zach. Who the heck? Oh, Zach. Yeah, you see Zach all the time. Yeah. And had a little flub. Do you tell me, tell you about the flub? I don't, Zach? Oh, yeah, you see Zach all the time. Yeah. And had a little flub. Did he tell you about the flub?

I don't know about the flub. No one talks about the flubs. I flubbed. I haven't flubbed since high school probably in this way. Hey, how bad was it? Oh, so I was leading the worship for third through fifth graders. I think they did not care one iota about this flub. I didn't like cuss on stage or anything.

It was just, yeah, I have a flub like that. I was kidding. No, I was just, I hadn't played my guitar in a long time. I actually hadn't played it since Branson when I led worship there. And when I led worship there, my voice was shot because of silver dollar city and everything. And so I tuned my guitar down like, so I didn't have to sing as high. Okay. And so I was tuning it back up Sunday morning. And sometimes when you tune it too quickly, bong, yeah, I snapped a string

and I don't think I've broken a string. I've changed my strings out, but I've never like changed them out because I've broken them in years. Did it catch your finger to hurt? No, it didn't hurt or anything. I kind of felt it coming. I was like, uh, uh, doink.

Yeah, so no. But it was like the high E string, which kind of makes a difference. I told Zach, I was like, as a music guy, you're going to notice that this guitar sounds a little funny. Yeah. But to kids, they're just fine with it. Which one is that? That's the the lowest

string. It's the thinnest string. Oh, okay. So it's the most high pitched one. Yeah. Um, and so yeah, it kind of it brings all together. It's like you need the top and the bottom more than any other ones, I think. At least me personally, I think so. If you had to lose a string, which one would it be? Just dead center. Man, I don't take out the center fielder. You know what lose a string, which one would it be? Just dead center. Man, I don't. Take out the center fielder. You know what? I have a lot.

I have a hard time with my B string. My B string. Second from the bottom. Very good. Second thinnest. Do you know all the tuning them? G D. Okay.

C. Zero for three so far. B E. There's five strings. G D C B E. I did five at least. B-E. There's five strings. G-D-C-B-E. I did five at least. B-E is the last two. So you got it.

Okay. E-A-D-G-B-E. E-A-D. Yep. So the top and the bottom are the same. They're just an octave different. Octave different? Sounds right. At least.

Anyway. Yeah. My B, I don't know. I don't, I definitely don't feel like I have perfect pitch by any means. But every time I'm tuning my guitar, the B just has to be perfect or else it kills me. I don't know. You know, I've tried it all Jake, tried an app, I've tried the tuner pedal. Right now. I've just got a little attachment on my thing. So you're used to timing. Yeah, you just use the pitch fork something. You guys have one of those? A leader to you were used to timing. Yeah, you just use the pitchfork some thing.

You guys have one of those a leader to our church used to like a song leader here, like always just was great. It's fun. It's like how is a metal thing doing that? Do we lose? See? Yeah. Yeah. Oh, hey, that was pretty long, though. Yeah. All right. How hot is it? It's kind of warm. It feels like that should be able.

We're in we're indoors. I've heard that they kind of like is it kind of warm? It feels like that should be a little we're in we're indoors I've heard they kind of like the software kind of lies to you and is like, I don't know Maybe it could last longer. I mean it wasn't so it seemed like it took 30 minutes before it shut off after the warning So sure, so you're happy with the camera Yeah, if it's gonna save me $500 Anyway good times leading worship though for the kids. That's fun. It's cool. You did that. Felt like they sang out and liked it. So they asked me a bunch of questions before. Sam, of course, you know, trying to just make it more fun for the kids. Asked all these questions. Had these kids ask me questions. What I'm

asking most embarrassing moment. That's a tough question to answer. There's the Easter eggs popping earlier. I didn't know this is I've kind of embarrassed that this is my answer, but it was embarrassing and ghosties experienced it. It was when I was trying to be like, how do I say this succinctly or whatever? Like what's the most whatever I said, there was one time I was playing volleyball and I tooted. Remember that? Yeah. I farted while we were playing at Gold Shores.

Yeah. And it was pretty funny and pretty embarrassing. And Jensen could not get it on. But I was like, is this potty humor? Whatever. I don't know. It sounds like perfect for third or fifth grade. Yeah, they seemed like they liked it. And it was a short story. They could imagine what happened.

Whatever. But I'm like don't ask me my always embarrassing moment. I don't know you don't even know you just shouldn't even know what embarrassment is. You're a kid. You have no self-awareness. Let's do our reviews of the week go ahead while I pull mine up. I'll give a shout out once again to Janelle. Hold on let me get this, Coza. You sure? No. Yeah, it is.

Coza. Give her a shout out last week. And then this week she just earned another one because she went and counted how many ghosties we said by name last week. It was like 54 or something. Yeah, that was really cool. That was pretty fun.

I had no idea. Yeah, that- This week zero. I did feel like, I did appreciate that so much. Cause yeah, we weren't consciously like, let's try to name every single person we can. Go, go, yeah, as much as you can. And so that made it feel like it was more

of a natural reflection on like, that's just kind of who we are to an extent. Yeah. Good stuff. All right, I got one from Nomi. It's a small world five stars So I actually found this podcast indirectly because I know the impsha's through green leaf. What? How old are they?

When time and started me just say the name was No me L Keep reading it's a mad gab When time had started mentioning the podcast, I'm sorry to say my general thoughts were that, oh, he and Graydon probably just made a show where they could goof off for an hour and gave it no further thought. Ironically, around that time,

the algorithms introduced me to jean shorts. And from there I found Ghostrunners. Timon, can you talk to Nomi and tell her that's a coincidence, not irony? You can imagine my double take when I saw Timon's name in one of the episode titles, crying, crying laughing. Turns out it's a small world. Since then, this podcast has helped me through

more than one tough day. I really appreciate the humor and y'all saw the love for the Lord. Keep up the good work with the relatable and funny content. Also, I did a lot of choir stuff with Timon last year and can't confirm his singing is just as good in person Well, what's that supposed to mean? It's Naomi, yeah, cool Naomi you didn't get it from no me

I just wanted to confirm. Okay. Okay. No me Naomi, you're great. Thanks for listening and No me. Naomi, you're great. Thanks for listening. And that's it. You know, how else is great as S staff five-star. My first, my very first review question mark in November of 2023, I saw the correct opinions clip about people with blue hair. Classic. Oh, nice. I did a deep dive on CO since I didn't know that existed, discovered Jake, his co-host and found Ghost Runners, started listening and worked my way backwards to July of 2023 and then realized this isn't going to work. I need to start from the beginning. So I went all the way back to episode one, keeping up with regular Monday and Wednesday episodes as I went along.

And as of today, I have listened to every single episode of Ghost Runners. Wow. It feels like I can now officially call myself a ghostie. Absolutely. If you've listened to one minute or one year worth of Ghost Runners, you are a ghostie. Wonder what she does for work. How do you crank out that many episodes? That's awesome. Let us know, Steph.

Listening has been so much fun. It felt like I had insider trading into what God had for your lives, like the blessing of more kids, home births, becoming neighbors with Brad and Catherine, marrying Rachel, et cetera. I now get all the inside jokes and why so many people love y'all and your families. A lot has happened for my family in the last year. My two little boys are finally adopted. Awesome. And as many have said before, it's been a gift to listen to your podcast through it all. Being a foster parent lends itself to many stressful situations that could use a great distraction. And I'm so glad this

has been it. I know God has wonderful things ahead for all of you. And I'm glad to be along for the ride. As Steph. Yeah. Long for the ride. That's sweet, man. Uh, something I thought about really quick. She, she like mentioned like insider trading or whatever. Like I do, I am cognizant, especially as we get more and more episodes out of like, it'd be so hard to like pick this podcast up, you know, right now or whatever. It feels like we need to have like an episode or a segment at some time to try to like,

just do review of every single thing we can think of. Or just like who we are. Just like context to everything that's happening. Yeah, like I was even just like, you were talking earlier, like Tommy and Corey and I was like Rachel's brother, you know, just in case like, uh, you know, on one hand it's like we, we take for granted so much, like everyone just knows everything we talk about on the other hand. I'm like, I don't want people to feel like, I don't know what they're, what that means. And so I have to listen to 300 episodes. Yeah. You know, whatever. So I don't know.

Maybe, maybe the ghosties could even make a list of like things we should talk about the glossary episode. Right? Like here's some really, really popular inside jokes that we say, here's, you know, how Jake, how we met. Here's why we call it ghost hunters. Here's, you know, what is who neighbor Henry is. Here's who baby Henry is. Yes. Different people. Right. Just a little family tree, a little history of who we are, where we met.

A LinkedIn, where we've worked. Yeah. I saw a neighbor Dennis at Price Chopper last night. Was it kind of like, I'm not supposed to see you here? It made me feel like a real part of the community. Like I know my neighbor and I recognize them in public and now we're just chatting. It is like a small joy to see somebody in public.

Yeah, it's like, I feel like I'm part of this now. Yeah. Yeah, we talked about the contraction of course had to exclusively Yeah, the only thing we talked about It's all we talk about. All right, would you like to end this episode with a jingle? Yeah, Jake Can you send this is there any other form of this besides the like text file? I believe it's a text file Let me see. No worries. No worry. No worry. There's a there's a Google Doc, but it's also a text file So I could I could send you the Google Doc. I just like it a different font. Thanks. No you what is that font? Garib no, what is that one? What were you gonna say career? I was gonna say Garamond Wow good pool I don't know that word

That's a font right. I'm sure it is you know that stuff. I don't Yeah, Garamond is much nicer. This is this is courier. I believe get them all let me see courier font It's like the typewriter. Yep courier Worst fonts if we did about flush more fonts it'd be on the top It's it's a rough one well if you look up courier font in Google, now everything in Google is displayed in that font. Now that's fun. And you don't want a Google pixel.

Now if I just search something else, time and inch, does that mean, okay, it goes back to normal. Thank the Lord. Wait, you search courier? C-O-U-R-I-E-R. No, I know how to spell it, but it didn't happen for me. Do you search font as well or just courier and everything. C-O-U-R-I-E-R. No, I know how to spell it, but it didn't happen for me.

Do you search font as well or just courier? Font. Wow. How interesting. What? I wonder how deep it goes. Wingdings font. Cosmic Sans.

Wingdings font does not work. Also, who the heck is using Wingdings? Oh, Comic Sans works. Man, it's gross. This is pretty neat, Google. Helvetica font. Comic Sans is a nostalgic font, man. Times New Roman font.

Yeah, it's. Oh, man. Go ahead. Don't don't say we haven't taught you anything. We got handoff. We got font Googling. Come on. You ever you're like talking to somebody like, what do you guys want to do tonight. We got handoff. We got font Googling. Come on. You're like talking to somebody like, what do you guys want to do tonight? We could play games. We could watch the game. We could font Google.

Get our font done. So, all right. Christopher Bonin. Oh yeah. Bonin ribeye over here. That's what you're going to be able to eat soon. I'm calling it. Yep.

Wrote this jingle a while back, I'll be honest, but we're doing it now. So let's figure it out. We got a instrumental somewhere, time? I found it. Wonderful. Here we go. Can we pretend that every day is Monday and Wednesday? I could really use the pod right now, pod right now, pod right now. Can we pretend that every day is Monday and Wednesday? I could really use the pod right now, pod right now, pod right now. I could use the pod with the boys Brad and Jake Recording every day wouldn't be a mistake

Cause after all the stories, the laughs and the jokesies And all the random acts of kindness of the ghosties There comes a time when you stop to celebrate All of life's greatest moments with a little slice of cake Birthdays, weddings, trips to Florida But don't expect cake and sandals Bahamas but that's just how the vibes get called we can't rent a car so we get a U-Haul

can you imagine all the things that happen? 83 steps from Brad's creations Jake and Rachel newlywed and stable gather all the friends round a 10-foot table timing in his pals making music videos anything to get that horsey smell up his nose

can we pretend that every day is Monday and Wednesday? I could really use the pod right now Pod right now, pod right now Can we pretend that every day is Monday and Wednesday? I could really use the pod right now Pod right now, pod right now, pod right now Nobody take me back to the days before there was a pod, before I met Jake Back when I was struggling to make my way, looking for a laugh in every wrong place

And now Big Daddy came and hit it one time Isaac sell on merch, Harry's do in fine, Gunner, Scott and Peter all very good leaders Watching Padma Holmes and screaming like cheerleaders Catherine Bowen-Hattie, living with Big Daddy Baby Rosie came quick, oops it's Puddle City Here Brad tells this story, but watch out for his shoes He kicks him off on stage like he's got nothing to lose And I would be remiss if I left out Steve and Trish How's it feel to have a son and see him doing this?

Bringing folks across the country, joining in one crew We're called the Ghosties and we'll be at Grande Prune Pretend that every day is Monday and Wednesday I could really use a pot right now, pot right now, pot right now We pretend that every day is Monday and Wednesday I could really use a pot right now, pot right now, pot right now. Yeah.

I'm excited to see McGrannaboo. Yeah, that'll be awesome, man. Grannaboo is going to be lit, bro. Can't wait to see you, man. So good. That was fun. Better late than never. That last verse was sweet.

We found a little rhythm there. Can't wait to see you, man. So good. That was fun. Better late than never. That last last verse was sweet. We found a little rhythm there. There were times where I lost it and I didn't know if it was supposed to rhyme differently or I don't know. But I found it there at the end. That's awesome. Steven Trish, I got good. Shout out. Shout out, Christopher. Keep them coming, Chris. You're on a roll. Dude, we can't get enough. Write another one, dude.

You just got done with this one, I know, but still. I'm glad that Tymon wasn't on camera, or I'm glad the camera didn't shut off for one that Tymon would have been on camera for singing. Good P, good P. So, TNC. TNC. All right, we'll be back Wednesday.

I wanna do another iteration of Valid or Get Off Your High Horse. Okay, let's do it. I think I'm just becoming an opinionated person. You don't think you used to be? No, I still don't think I am. No? No.

But just in this segment. There are just certain things I would like, I would like other people to do them a certain way. Yeah, that's not opinionated. But for the most part, yeah, I don't feel like I have a, I don't think I would consider myself an opinionated person. It's tough for me to get to one sided about anything. Yeah, how do you, yeah, what's the line

between like opinionated and having an opinion? Like, are they the same? I don't think they are. I don't know. Yeah, I would agree. They probably are different. Like stick your, you know, lie in the sand, like I am not changing

no matter what, whatever I'm, or whatever. I don't know. It's probably just different things. I just feel like I could see you, like if a time it's like, hey, I got, I got you a drink, no ice. Like, dude, you have to put ice in the dress. FYI That's my worst nightmare. Yeah

Well, it comes out cold. So why do you need ice? Yeah. Yeah, it's just Totally. Yeah, it's like it's like i'm not going to be like irrationally like I can't drink this but it's like I there's a way to opinion about this And you gotta but but then again, you can't have an opinion about this. And you gotta, but then again, you can't, you can't do just a little bit of ice because then it won't be cold enough and it'll just melt and water it down.

It needs good company. You're 100%. Like the almonds. Yeah. Ask me anything, I'll have an opinion on it. Not to the point where I'm like, hopefully at least, not to the point where I'm like, oh, Brad's such a difficult person. He has to have the perfect amount of ice or he's not going to enjoy himself.

No, I think you and Catherine are like healthily opinionated. Yeah. You both are like, can be pretty passionate about a number of things. I get real opinionated about drinks. The temperature of drinks is like something like, dude, just the other day, Bethke was, they were, they were hosting at some, one of their kids had a birthday party and they were like putting out like, or showing a picture of like the table set up. I think it was a girl's birthday party.

And it had all the pops, cans of all the pop at every single like little place setting. And I thought to myself, they're putting those out way too early. They're gonna be warm by the time they drink them. You must hate those kids. Those need to be cold. Like they need to be as cold as can be

when you're drinking them. And it's just like this, that's sad. Put them in a cooler. Put them in a cooler. Put them in a cooler. Like they need to be as cold as can be when you're drinking them. And it's just like this. That's sad. I'm in a cooler. Put them in a cooler. I'm in a cooler. Have them have them in the refrigerator until the time I'm a huge like right. Yeah.

Right when we get home, I'm putting those drinks in the fridge every time. So drinks. Just right. We'll be back Wednesday. We'll do that segment. I'm going to talk about the Chiefs game. And and dare I say, Oh. You know, I feel like I was in a rhythm there

for a little bit, hitting a lot of quinky thinks, a lot of coincidences. It's been a while since I've had a really good one. It's time. We're back. All right. Crazy one, Wednesday. See you guys Wednesday.

We love you. Tell a friend about the podcast. Yeah, right.
