I'm still figuring out five and a half years, probably right at exactly five and a half years. How cool is that? That's crazy cool, man.

Starting point is 00:07:10 People really love the half year thing. People get excited about that. I mean, it's like almost right at five and a half years. That's wild.

Starting point is 00:08:17 cause he's accident prone. Oh really? And I said, okay, good to know. I didn't know that about it. I, I feel like I know him in some levels in some capacities pretty well other levels It's like I don't know anything about you. So good to know that you are accident accident prone Okay, keep him and Isaac away from each other. Maybe we do have like power rankings of accident prone. I Yeah, I'm getting excited for the trip the the group chat is starting to To pop off more recently. Yeah, really fun. Although I will say we have 15 people in this group chat is starting to pop off more recently. Really fun. Although I will say,

Starting point is 00:08:46 when we have 15 people in this group chat, 14, me and you have thrown out back to back, incredible videos. We're getting, I don't know, 14% engagement from this group chat of our best friends. What's it take to get a response at a group chat? I'll go ahead and call him out because I know he's a ghosty listener,

Starting point is 00:09:04 SBU alum, Garrett Gibson. I had to text him the other day be like, are you coming on this? sure, you're so good like calm dude, like I Didn't say that but I was like I'm excited that you're coming man. Like cuz yeah, I don't think he's involved one bit I like the I did this last night to Isaac It's like a reminder text but it's not as it's a little more discreet than a reminder text. Yes. Like like now Garrett knows it was like a reminder text. Yeah, I didn't text Isaac like remember we have like indoor pickleball reservations tonight at eight. Yeah. And later on in the night, it's tough to remember a plan sometimes.

Starting point is 00:09:36 It's been dark for three hours. So I was like, I should text to remind him. But I didn't want to just insult his intelligence. I was like excited to play tonight. It's been a while. Yeah, yeah, yeah. What kind of shoes do you wear for indoor games? Cause that's what we're doing tonight. Do you think a shirt will be inside?

Starting point is 00:09:54 Oh, wait, talk about that off the podcast. Dang it, three hands up. I'm sorry, guys. What were you gonna say? Right before we started recording the podcast, we talked about putting the shirt inside the paddle. Oh yeah. Dumb.

Starting point is 00:10:04 That was a funny conversation. We try to save our funny conversations for the podcast, We talked about putting the shirt inside the paddle. Oh yeah. Dumb. That was a funny conversation. We don't, we try to save our funny conversations for the podcast, but we were just being funny anyway. Anyway, yeah, so I put in this video of an old gene shorts video we did where we were just goofing one day. Can't put it on the page. Yeah, we can't put it on the page.

Starting point is 00:10:23 But it was meant to be a video, originally it was gonna be small town. Liars or't put it on the page. Yeah, we can't put it on the page, but it was meant to be a video. Originally it was gonna be small town. Liars or. Maybe it was liars, yeah, but it's just how people in your hometown act of just like, everything's exaggerated, hyperbolic. Yeah, I think it was initially like motivated by you saying that your uncle claims he knew the guy

Starting point is 00:10:41 that invented the fast break in basketball. It's his dad. Oh, it's his dad. Uncle John's dad invented the fast break. Yeah. I also had a friend in college who said, Marshfield, Missouri has the best sunsets in the world. Sure.

Starting point is 00:10:51 We're like, you've never lived outside of Marshfield. What are you talking about? Yeah. And so it just got more and more ridiculous with the lies. And so, yeah, there was one time we were just filming. It's every once in a while it's like, I'm going to see if I can make Derek laugh. Because, you know, Derek is so, I mean, just like time it, like, it's just fun to be

Starting point is 00:11:06 the guy behind the camera, like seeing this guy, like you're never looking right at the camera. You're kind of looking off the side, but you can kind of see this guy like turning his head, like laughing a little bit. Um, and so, yeah, I think I said, I said something I was, I was talking about how I'm, I was like, you know, yeah, I a veteran. Yeah, I was a sniper in the war. Yeah, sniper, first team sniper, all squadron. And then I basically, I said a bad word.

Starting point is 00:11:30 He said some crazy stuff about Chris Kyle, American sniper. It's so funny. He saw it, he was like, yes, week of the hunting trip. Like, this is a great video. I'm gonna send this clip. Yeah.

Starting point is 00:11:40 Like it involves guns. It's perfect. Yeah. And we got like two and a half ha ha's one of them was you You know like you're the third. Yeah, if it's like the person it's from it's like yeah, okay I was like, what does it take with these people and then followed up? It's a video that you post or that you text us all of you At oklahoma joe's with chris jones, right the chief chief's heart and soul of their defense.

Starting point is 00:12:05 Everyone's favorite non-Mahomes, non-Kelsey player in the chiefs. You're with him. You fist bumped him at Oklahoma Joe's. Immediately. I'm responding. Of course. Yeah. I'm throwing in jokes and then really there's just me, you and Will.

Starting point is 00:12:18 Who was also there. He was in the video. It was me and Will talking to him. What does it take with these people? I know it's, it's funny. Like the dynamic, like on one level I'm like, like the other day, I'm going to say the dynamic with group chats, like on one level I'm all about like if the group chats pop in it's popping, but other times I'm like sensitive of like, I know that not everyone's

Starting point is 00:12:43 around their phone all the time and then all of a sudden they're just, their phone is going nuts. And what if so and so is at a play for his daughter and his phone just going wild. Then he's got a treat when he gets home. Sure. Put it on, do not disturb, whatever. Cause every once in a while, Scott, especially like Sunday mornings, Scott will just start like texting while I'm at church and it's impossible to just like ignore a bunch of vibrations in your pocket. You had to go on, do not disturb, whatever. But anyway, so I'm mindful of that, but it's also like, come on guys, like let's get into this.

Starting point is 00:13:14 Normally I'm pretty like anti-bug people in a group chat. Like our big Friday Pickle group chat with all six of us. I don't want to bother those people unless it is very important. I directly need something, you know, that's the week of a trip. Yeah. When we're all good friends, I'm a mess it up. Yeah. Right. Muck it up. Muck it up a little bit. We got a few days till the trip.

Starting point is 00:13:34 Oh, I'm mucking. Yeah, exactly. It's like it's like it helps with the anticipation, the vibes, everything. I would even say we talked about this last week. My my intro intros. Yeah. Didn't get like crazy responses. I felt kind of bad for you. Oh, don't feel bad.

Starting point is 00:13:51 Well, sure, feel bad. But I didn't feel like, I was like, I wasn't worried about it. But it was also just like, maybe they enjoyed it and they just aren't responding. Did you guys like this? That was the one time Garrett Gibson, he ha haed my description of him.

Starting point is 00:14:04 Yeah, it was funny. I was like, all right, Garrett's reading these. I did try to stand up for you a little bit because you spent I mean, I'm guessing what was probably an hour Looking up everyone's phone number typing out something creative giving everyone like compliments on their skills And then immediately afterwards will severance is like like calls a guy by the wrong name in the group chat Like Brad just spent an hour on this. You immediately got his name wrong. That was great. Yeah, he felt, well, cause Jensen then was like, I'll do one for Brad, cause no one did a description

Starting point is 00:14:33 for Brad or something like that. But his version of it was different than all the wins I've been doing. I've been doing like a little like, yeah, odds thing at the bottom or like whatever. And so Jensen wrote this thing out and Will responded. He's like, dang, Zach, you didn't even follow the, you know, instructions or whatever.

Starting point is 00:14:51 And then Will got, yeah, got the person wrong. And then he read Jensen's description that I wrote. He's like, dude, Jensen seems like the nicest guy ever. Do you think I like offended Jensen by saying that? I was like, no, not at all, man. So anyway. Last thing about hunting, since we haven't actually done it yet. Good idea, bad idea. I was thinking about like just being dumb and showing up that first morning with my

Starting point is 00:15:11 face completely like camouflage, like black and green, like in a, in a type of hunting where you don't need to be camouflage. Like I'm wearing a bright orange vest of my face is like, like inappropriately black. Oh, maybe not black. I don't know. I think if we take pictures, you get in trouble for that one. That's so funny. I think that's great.

Starting point is 00:15:34 It'll be very interesting. So like the other two times I've gone on this hunt, I was the young guy. Like I was the really and now I am one of the older guys or at least like I'm definitely like in the median. The most kids. Yeah. Yeah. Well, Bob's got five.

Starting point is 00:15:49 So. Bobby. And so it's like the energy and the whatever, the vibes were different in the last two years because it was much more fun, but not as many goofy guys. I see. And so I don't know what these guides, the people that work there, are gonna, how they're going to react to our goofiness.

Starting point is 00:16:10 Cause on some levels they're fun and goofy too, but other levels it's like, hey, we're shooting guns here. We've got to be somewhat. Be serious. Yeah, somebody's got to take it seriously kind of thing. So I have no idea how they would react to that, but either way you should do it.

Starting point is 00:16:23 Okay. That's so funny. I love doing that. On Harrison's bachelor party, but either way, you should do it. Okay, I think I'm going to. I love doing that. On Harrison's bachelor party, I showed up, it was a golf trip, and that first day I showed up in like knickers and Argyle socks and like a little driver's cap and just like so old school. So I know, yeah. I think it's always fun to do stuff like that.

Starting point is 00:16:37 Well, that's the thing, like you're not gonna be the only one that's gonna do some, like Gunner's going to be wearing, like it's like, you have to, everyone has to wear at least three articles of blaze orange. Gunner went to Oklahoma state where their colors are blaze orange. So I guarantee you Gunners wouldn't have wear some like sweatpants, like orange sweatpants or something. That's a good point. You know, you're supposed to be where like tan, like people were like khaki, like hard, like canvas pants and Gunner's going to be in like sweatpants and Jordans out

Starting point is 00:17:05 there. So, yeah, I don't know. We'll see what it's like, but anyway, I'm, I'm, I'm so pumped about it. And yeah, it's, it's, it's just cool. It's just a fun opportunity. That's pretty rare these days to get a bunch of your friends together. And yeah, I was talking to Will about the other night and I'm just like, you're going to love this guy.

Starting point is 00:17:22 No, you're going to, Oh man. It'll be so interesting to see the dynamics of who's going to be, who's going to like be more reserved or is it going to be like, there's just five different group conversations going the whole time. Cause you know, there's just like a lot of funny, fun guys out there. Cause we only hunt a few hours a day, right? Right. Like it's just so much just hanging out, just yeah. Being fun and talking to each other and doing whatever. Wow. That's great. Resting. Yeah. Whatever. So yeah. Steven Swick was like, I might just, I might just nap at the lodge. I was like, no, you're not going to nap at the lodge the whole time. So it's going

Starting point is 00:17:52 to be such a good weekend and chiefs bills on Sunday. Yeah. I did. I did text Jeff, the, the main guy in charge and I was like, Fyi, I want to make sure we're all set. Have the expectation. A lot of the guys are gonna watch this game Maybe all of us so just want to make sure that you don't have anything crazy planned for that time of the day So he's like sounds great. We'll make it happen. So it'll be great It seems like a lot of you guys listening really like the idea of a ghost hunters glossary episode Yeah, so got a lot of good feedback to that. So I think that's something we will do sometime soon Yeah, so just want to say that it's coming.

Starting point is 00:18:27 Yes. Yeah, maybe next month we were thinking. Yeah, something into the year, perhaps. Perhaps. Next time Timon's out of town. Next time Timon's in Illinois or Missouri or just Iowa, Kansas. Fort Scott.

Starting point is 00:18:42 Fort Scott. Do you go to for Scott sometimes? Oh Put the camera on time blushing right now Your first guy Okay, I see some artillery from the fort Oh, okay. I see some artillery from the fort, huh? Can we do the game, Jennifer Vorpahl's game idea? I'm just ready to do it right now. It's so fun.

Starting point is 00:19:12 Yeah. All right, so Jennifer Vorpahl, so you say her last name, Vorpahl? I'll say it. You say Vorpahl, I'll say Vorpahl, and Tyman, you're gonna say, yeah, so just to make sure what I'm saying for Paul. Yeah. So Jennifer covered our bases.

Starting point is 00:19:30 Yeah. Vorpal Verpal. Came up with this idea a long time ago on Patreon and it's time we do it. She essentially said, I don't have the message in front of me, but like, you guys should do a schmores, but only two of you know the topic, essentially. It's within the third person is trying to pick up on, you know, based on what the other two have said, what this topic is and provide their own, you know, submissions to the scores. Yeah.

Starting point is 00:19:58 And so is it is it three or four things total? I guess Schmores. Yeah, sure. Okay. And so you in time and already have the topic that you know Yes, okay, and then let's just text. Let's just make sure let's put it in post or do you think the ghosty should also know? Let's do one Mmm, yeah, how should we do it? Should we do it? Yeah, we could either do this

Starting point is 00:20:19 We need to put it in post and everyone knows audio wise or we could put it on video Let's put on video. Let's put it on video no matter what. No, no, no. Great. Sorry. No. Okay. Let's do one where the audience is like truly playing along.

Starting point is 00:20:33 Okay. This one. So the audience is just like you. They also don't know. They're trying to figure it out. Okay. And then the next one, let's have you leave the room. Okay.

Starting point is 00:20:40 And that way we'll all say it and everyone is on the same page. Okay. Everyone knows about you. Okay. Cool. Cause that way people don't judge me so much for being like, well, how do you not get it? Because you didn't get it either. Okay, Tracy. All right. All right. Timing you good? Yeah, I think so. All right. I'm going to start with garlic. All right. That's on that. Oh, obvious one obvious one one yeah I think I think I

Starting point is 00:21:07 mean yeah because the it's it's so strong it's so strong in so many ways so that's good um I'm gonna I'm gonna say pizza really yeah whoa I went there first first pick that's a good pick yeah really. Really? See, I was thinking, I think you were gonna say onions. No. All right. I'll okay. Garlic pizza. Guys, I don't give me, give me, give me onions. I'll start with onions. Wow. I felt good about onions right off the bat. I think it's a strong, you add garlic and onions to pizza. It sounds good. It's two syllables, I think, depending on who you are.

Starting point is 00:21:56 Maybe it's just two syllable words, probably, is what we're doing. All right. Next, I'm gonna go hot dog. Hot dog, I mean, come on. Two syllables. Yeah, that's true. It's American.

Starting point is 00:22:11 It's just like pizza is, just like onions. Hot dog, garlic and hot dog. Okay. All right. What that threw me off, Jake. I'm gonna say potatoes. Three syllables. Potatoes, hot dog, garlic.

Starting point is 00:22:38 Things in a pantry. I don't have my hot dogs and pantries pizza either. Dang it. Pizza and potatoes, garlic my hot dogs and pantries. Pizza either. Dang it. Pizza and potatoes, garlic and hot dogs. Pizza, potatoes. Um, garlic is a wild first one because I don't think Jake by itself loves garlic. I bet, I bet he likes it on things. I don't think anybody dislikes loves garlic. I bet I bet he likes it on things I don't think anybody dislikes garlic if you do

Starting point is 00:23:07 psycho Or do you? What was your second thing hot dogs you like hot dog things you can't eat things you don't want to eat You like pizza. You don't you really pizza All right, I'll say for my next one Chicken nuggets. OK. OK. OK. Good. Four syllables. Good pick.

Starting point is 00:23:29 Yeah, it's progressing. OK. I think I can I can one up a syllable. No, spaghetti. Hmm. Really? Spaghetti is probably what I should have started with. I'll tell you this right now. Garlic's throwing the meat the heck off. It's like, oh, things at the buffet.

Starting point is 00:23:52 You don't just go, I'm going to go get some extra. Oh, you can eat garlic. OK, spaghetti. Tyrone, what's your third one? Mac and cheese. Oh, that's good. Three syllables. I'm glad you're still keeping track.

Starting point is 00:24:08 Garlic. This is harder than I thought it would be, guys. It's probably so obvious to you too. I hope the ghosties are like, I don't know where it is either. Okay. You said spaghetti. Okay. You said mac and cheese, potatoes and pizza. Yes. Sounds pretty good to me.

Starting point is 00:24:30 But how many syllables is that? Yeah, exactly. Oh, it's all adding up to has to be 16 syllables total. You're going scratchy a tele for your last one. Okay. What was I going to say? Let's see. And you said garlic spaghetti hot dogs. Hot dogs. Okay. Okay. Okay. Okay. Um, there's no way this is the category, but my, my thought right now is things that go well with tomatoes.

Starting point is 00:25:07 You put ketchup with your potatoes. You could put ketchup with your or tomato sauce with your pizza mac and cheese adding some diced tomatoes on there. So tomatoes go well with ham sandwich, ham sandwich, ham sandwich. Great great my last pick has got to be mustard Mustard okay, okay. I'm gonna say avocado toast That's a good pick is it it? Yeah, it is. It's a great pick. Yeah.

Starting point is 00:25:47 Avocado toast. There's no way. There's no way it's things we don't like because there's no way time. It doesn't like pizza. I could also see Jake disliking all those other things though. Okay. In that case, I'm going to say mushrooms. That's a good pick.

Starting point is 00:26:05 Is it? Okay. Okay. Don't tell me yet. See if you can give me like another couple clues that would make it more obvious. Is there any way to make it more obvious? Maybe you already have made it as obvious as possible. No, I can tell you things that-

Starting point is 00:26:17 I think it's understandable that it's not obvious. Things that wouldn't go on this list. Okay. Ice cream. Exactly. You dog. Sprinkles. Correct. That would not go on this list. Chocolate syrup. That would not go on this list. Banana. Some. Split. Okay. I probably wouldn't go on this list. Chocolate chips. Wouldn't go on this list.

Starting point is 00:26:48 Ranch dressing would go on the list. Yep. I think my list is actually decent. You did great. Yeah, it was meant to throw you off. So the idea, was it? It's like foods that taste good, but wouldn't make good ice cream flavors. Oh.

Starting point is 00:27:00 Not necessarily toppings, but just like the whole ice cream is this flavor. I thought it was things that wouldn't go on top of ice cream Okay. Yeah, but I didn't get that until you said Yeah, things that wouldn't go unless ice cream you're like, yes very yeah Exactly. That would be dumb to put that on. I'm looking around for lists. That should go on. Okay, it's not this one That was fun. I like that. Okay, good like that. I figured something like that would make it a little trickier for you I'm rather than just like landmarks. Yeah, and after two you're like like there's lemon landmarks

Starting point is 00:27:30 These guys are just naming landmarks. I like it. I'm gonna say national parks. Oh All right, you start off Yellowstone. Okay, it's a show Next one Zion. All right.

Starting point is 00:39:49 Oh, Gabe Oliver. Fun. Which he does not like the name Gabe Oliver. So we're now calling him Gabe Oliver. Okay, his name's Gabe Oliver. So that's what we're calling him, Gabe Oliver. All right. I didn't make much of the distinguish.

Starting point is 00:40:05 Got it. So it's, it's not Gabe Oliver anymore. It's Gabe Oliver. Got it. It's not Gabe Oliver. It's Gabe Oliver. Okay. Got it.

Starting point is 00:40:18 Got it. Got it. Got it. Yeah. Anyway, I did meet Chris Jones. Can I tell you about it? Oh yeah, we should talk about that more. So for those of you who are not Chiefs fans, Chris Jones is our best player on defense.

Starting point is 00:40:29 One of the best defensive players in the NFL, arguably the best. Also just a dynamic personality, large, tall black man. And we are, I'm at Oklahoma Joe's, Joe's Kansas City barbecue with my friend, Will and his wife and Catherine. Just did a little something. Katherine's always like, what do you want to do for your birthday? And this year, especially, I was like, I'm going to see all my friends in like three

Starting point is 00:40:51 days and we don't need to do anything. And I was like, what if we just went out with Lauren and will, so just Joe's is my favorite spot. So we were there and all of a sudden wills like, dude, is that Chris Jones? I was like, I look over, I'm like, of course that's Chris Jones. He was kind of like looking like towards the register. So we couldn't see him that well.

Starting point is 00:41:12 But I was like, there's no way, there's not very many people that look like that in Kansas City. He's massive. Yeah, he's huge. Why would a guy like that live in Kansas City if he's not a football player? Just-

Starting point is 00:41:23 Who was he there with? He had a son, I believe, I don't know, a little kid of some sort. I'm sure it's a son. And then one of his friends, a couple of his friends. Cool. But Will's like, you know, we're excited, obviously. And Will's like, should we play it cool?

Starting point is 00:41:37 Should we play it cool? What should we do? What should we go talk? We should go talk to him. And I'm like, I don't know, man. Cause I have noticed in the very little fame that I have, which is seriously so little. It's like once one person does something, everyone will, once one person like goes and

Starting point is 00:41:52 takes a picture with Chris Jones, 15 people are going to go take a picture with them. So it's like, I don't know, maybe we should just let them, let them be. It didn't seem like people are recognizing them yet. And it was kind of a little bit later as a Thursday, Tuesday night. And so it's like not that many people around. And, but then he's, he's spending enough time over by the drink station where it's like, I think he kind of wants to be talked to. Like he went to the drink station, filled up a few and then came back and I'm like, dude, you're like just a sitting duck at this bag and a sitting pheasant. So, uh, I'm like, let's, we both had empty water cups. I was like, well, you're like just a sitting duck at this bag and a sitting pheasant. So I'm like, let's we both had empty water cups.

Starting point is 00:42:28 I was like, well, you need some more water. He's like, yeah, man, you need some more. Yeah. And so we went over there and I didn't know. I didn't know what I was going to say, but I wasn't planning on saying much. I was just going to be like, hey, man, big fan. Good defense. Will took a different route.

Starting point is 00:42:44 And Will is Will's wonderful. And I it comes as no surprise that he took a different route. And Will is wonderful. And I. It comes as no surprise that he took a different route. Yes. He's the king of like metaphors and catchphrases and like just really big on like that kind of thing. You know, just like little one liner kind of things. And earlier, before we went over there,

Starting point is 00:43:03 he was like talking about like maybe we should go to get a shirt and have Chris Jones sign it like a Joe's Kinsley shirt. Have Chris Jones. How cool would that be? things. And earlier, before we went over there, he was like talking about like, maybe we should go to get a shirt and have Chris Jones sign it. Like a Joe's Kansas City shirt. Have Chris, how cool would that be? I was like, I don't know. Let's just go, let's go get some water. And so we're going over there. We're playing the bills this week. And so he says, and I still don't really even understand exactly what this means, but he thought it was really clever. He goes, Hey man, you know, bills's bill stands for burn ends, right? Go get them on Sunday. Huh? And I'm at the other drink station just filled up by water. I'm like, yeah, man, big fan. Like, yeah, yeah, yeah. Big fan of yours, man. Just, you know,

Starting point is 00:43:37 Bill's stands for burn ends. That's what I believe. Bill's stands for burn ends. Maybe it was the other way around. Burn- ends stands for bills, but either way, don't really understand exactly what it means. We're not as deep of thinkers as well. Yeah. Ends, you could have gone different ways with burnt ends. I mean, he's a defensive end of sorts anyway. But then will to his credit, you know, he's like, Hey man, we're celebrating my friend here's a birthday tonight. And Chris Jones like, Oh man, happy birthday. He gave me a, you know, gave me that's fun. Dabbed me up and he's like, how old are you turning? I said 34. And we'll say, how old are you, man? He's like, and the way he looked at will do like, it was

Starting point is 00:44:16 just like, of course you are an amazing NFL football player. Like he was being very kind to will, but the way he looked at him was just the most intimidating thing I've ever seen. He was just like, I'm 30 years old. And I'm like, Oh my gosh, don't ask him another question. He's going to tackle us right here. No, he's just like, I'm 30 years old. And so Will's like, all right, man, we're all in our thirties here. And so Chris Jones, like he's, he's like, kind of like being goofy at this point.

Starting point is 00:44:42 He's walking away. He looks down at us. He goes, yeah, thirties with dad bods. And then walked away. That's, that's fun. Yeah. It was a great like interaction. And so that was it. But it was a, it was really fun to just like, be like, that's Chris Jones. And then later on, Katherine and I got there late. So Will and Lauren ordered for us. But if you go through the line, we went through the line later to get a dessert. And there was like all these little Chris Jones jerseys.

Starting point is 00:45:09 It was like one of those things where like, if you donate X or buy X, you get your Chris Jones, like name signature Jersey, like piece of paper on the wall kind of thing. I mean, there were hundreds of miles like, well, how'd you not see this? I think he's doing like a fundraiser here this month. He's like, yeah, in hindsight, I should have known what that was going on. But anyway, it was just, he was so much like, Catherine's like, you looked so small compared to this. Yeah. He was just huge, man. But like as fun and normal of a guy as you'd think he would be, which was cool. That's awesome. So yeah,

Starting point is 00:45:41 it was great. I love football. Yeah. I love the Chiefs. I know. And I've always been like a Chris Jones guy. I was excited. Like he's one of my favorites. Oh yeah. I remember years ago he was mic'd up and he's just talking about how good the hot chocolate and the stand smells.

Starting point is 00:45:55 Hot cocoa. Yeah. It's like, oh, this guy's got a good personality. It's fun. Yep. So I went to Iowa and back this weekend, I didn't really write a single thing down Which is not good on my part not good podcasting and think about it. I've been doing this for almost exactly five and a half years

Starting point is 00:46:12 At this point it might be five and a half years on the dot time. Did you ever figure that date? It just said may so oh on spotify really. Yeah Okay, I don't believe you. Yeah, I think I could figure it out pretty quick timing Here we go. All right, go ahead Now time is trying to find the time. Oh crap. Oh, gosh get a date All right So it was a great time. We went up there because of Rachel's induction and the Iowa may nice just just a quick Google search time

Starting point is 00:46:42 It's a simple macro macro So over five and a half years It's officially longer than five and a half years. We've always said if we can just make it five and a half I have an a half years man. That's the milestone Yeah, Rachel got inducted into the Iowa High School Hall of Fame very fun go up there my parents of course like they're going up there Everybody's coming. So it was great. So that was Thursday night.

Starting point is 00:47:10 They do the Hall of Fame induction ceremony during the state championship games. So we're in, it's a hockey arena in Iowa City. They've got some sort of hockey team there, it's where Iowa University plays their volleyball games. It's a nice arena. It's only a few years old. Called the Xtreme Arena.

Starting point is 00:47:29 Okay. I was like, wow, what a name. Turns out Xtreme is I think some like digital provider. Some name is right. Still, what a name. Anyway. It is a hockey arena though. Talk to me about that.

Starting point is 00:47:39 Like, it's a hockey arena that they just convert, they just take out the walls. Yeah, I guess they, well. Did it look like a hockey arena still? Yeah, there They just take out the walls. Yeah, I guess they. Well, did it look like a hockey arena? Yeah, there was some plexiglass in certain spots. Oh, really? Not, uh, not like fully there, but in some certain spots, there was like hockey type glass.

Starting point is 00:47:56 Interesting. Yeah, but not everywhere. I mean, it was a fully kidded like volleyball court, state championships. Also Iowa does it right. So first of all, I mean, yeah, this arena is only two years old, so it's crazy nice. When the girls get introduced, they go through, so first of all, they have these,

Starting point is 00:48:11 they turn off all the lights and then the fog machine starts going and they start playing like this hype, like Steve Aoki, Lil Jon, like remix. It's so fun in there. The fog is going, there's so much fog, the girls are about to run through it and right before they start to run through it, then they start shooting flames. It's

Starting point is 00:48:26 like the chiefs intro indoor, like flames are going on. You could feel the heat from wherever you sit. Yes. Yes. That sound six different flames going up. And then the flames start shooting fireworks indoors. It was in the fireworks. I got chills and I didn't know anyone playing. I didn't know the name of the teams chills and I didn't know anyone playing. I didn't know the name of the teams playing. I didn't know anything. I was just nearby. Is this like the, like all levels of state championships

Starting point is 00:48:53 were here or is it like? I think they do. Yes, they will do all levels eventually. We were there for like between the two A and something game. So how many people are there? Like it's gotta be minimal, right? Yeah, I mean, we were just there for the, you know, I think Rachel got inducted between the 2A and the 1A game.

Starting point is 00:49:10 So it's not full by any means. But like enough to where it doesn't seem ridiculous that these things are going off. It was awesome. I was like, this would be so fun. I can't imagine what those girls are feeling right now. Oh my gosh, this would be so fun. That was electric.

Starting point is 00:49:24 It's amazing the advancements in that. We forget about how old we are sometimes, I think. Even just light bulbs. I mean, like, think of, like the Chiefs got LED light bulbs this year. Before we had LEDs, like my high school gymnasium, you couldn't turn the lights off because it would take them 10 minutes to turn back on again.

Starting point is 00:49:41 Right, it would like, yeah, take a while to like turn them off, kind of like cool down to turn back on. Like that. It would like, yeah, take a while to like turn them off, kind of like, yeah, cool down to turn back on like that. Just that's crazy that in our lifetime, we've seen major advancements in the light bulb. Hey, Brad. Hey, did you know that Jingle Bells was originally written as a coffee song? No way. Yeah. Oh, where in that song does it say coffee or Jingle Bell, Jingle Bell, Jingle Barista?

Starting point is 00:51:51 And so it was like, we played welcome to the jungle. Yeah, cause we're the Jags. But every once in a while, like skipped, you know, the CD skipped or something. And I, but I thought at the time that was like a huge, awesome thing. And I don't feel like that was that long ago, but it's like, man, we've really advanced

Starting point is 00:52:23 But then you go to the pep rally and like, yeah, all the lights are on, some lights coming through, it's just not that cool. It's in the gym where you have PE, like maybe you have PE the next hour. You just arrived for the pep rally, you gotta go play dodge ball. And then for the pep rally, it was like,

Starting point is 00:52:37 let's introduce all the players with a crappy microphone. Everyone's like really goofing off, no one's paying attention. And then we brought in these guys, we brought in one BMX rider. Did you really? I mean, something like that, probably where it was. That's pretty cool. We never had outside hires. Really? No. Yeah. We'd go to the private sector. Yeah. We get some talent every now and then. That's so a BMX guy. That's when you remember specifically like coming in and doing a trick or something.

Starting point is 00:53:01 Yeah. And I might be confusing, like a fifth quarter type thing where like he would also give a message with a pep rally. We may not have hired outside for just a pep rally. I don't know. Are you envisioning, like, paint me, is this just a BMX guy doing it on a flat surface, or has he got half pipes and stuff? No, I imagine they brought in like a couple pipes. Really?

Starting point is 00:53:22 A couple ramps. Yeah, maybe a full pipe. Yeah. Yeah. Really? No, we just, maybe a full pipe. Yeah. Yeah, really. No, we just, I mean, I liked our pep rallies, but maybe it was just because, yeah, I was kind of involved in them a lot, but yeah. It was a lot of like,

Starting point is 00:53:34 from what I remember, like embarrassing freshmen, like making them do something with whipped cream on their face. Yeah, a lot of like class competitions that were rigged for the upper class. Yeah. Yeah, the class competitions were like, you know trigonometry So just like the seniors dominated

Starting point is 00:53:48 Yeah, no doubt. No doubt those freshmen. Sorry get back to algebra Anyway, the intros were awesome. It was really fun atmosphere so My parents get there at the tail end of the 2a game me and Rachel's parents and Rachel us four have like VIP tickets We're on the floor. So Rachel's extended family Not even extended, but it's like her grandma her brother Sister-in-law Cory my parents they're like up in the stands. They're gonna watch from there Okay, so they and I wish my dad was here because he would do so much better telling the story

Starting point is 00:54:21 So as the 2a game is ending Those fans are obviously leaving. My dad goes down and he wants to get good seats for our family to watch the Hall of Fame induction, because it's between games. So he goes down and sits in the front row. And he thinks in hindsight, maybe, you know, I think a woman had her eyes on those seats

Starting point is 00:54:40 and my dad kind of like took them from her a little bit. Sure. And because right away she says like, oh, I was gonna save these. And my dad's like, oh, hey, no problem. We're not even staying for the game. We're just here to watch the Hall of Fame induction. We'll be out of here.

Starting point is 00:54:55 And she's like, okay, great. Well, you can just save them for us then. Great, awesome. Everyone's on the same page here. What does that entail? Yeah, so then I go over there to talk to him, not knowing that this has happened. Rachel's grandma's on the same page here. Okay. What does that entail? Yeah. So then I go over there to talk to them, not knowing that this has happened. Rachel's grandma is on the other side of my mom

Starting point is 00:55:09 and some women come up and are like, we sit here. Yeah, of course you can sit over there. And right away that woman starts to snap a little bit. Hey, hey, hey, no, I'm saving those two. I'm saving those. Can you tell her I'm saving those two? And so then Rachel's grandma has to be like, I'm sorry, I guess these are saved.

Starting point is 00:55:26 And then has to kick these two girls out. How many seats is this woman saving you think? Probably a total of seven. A lot of seats. A lot of seats in the front row. Yeah. 1A volleyball. Cause second row is like really like obstructed view.

Starting point is 00:55:40 We'll get to second row. We will get to second row. I'm glad you brought it up so I don't forget. So I felt bad. That's just awkward. Rachel's grandma is like just so sweetly getting to know these high school girls has to be like, you gotta sit somewhere else, I guess.

Starting point is 00:55:55 I'm sorry, I don't know what's going on. And then as I'm standing there, I'm starting to see more and more tensions rise. Like this woman who's just got her daughter's number, face bedazzled, just one of those moms. we start to see more and more tensions rise. Like this woman who's just got her daughter's number, face bedazzled, just one of those moms. She like did like the shoe polish on the van, like headed to state.

Starting point is 00:56:13 Oh yeah. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Yeah, honk if you like the coogs. Yeah, honk if you're for the coogs. Yeah. All right, another coog honker. Coog her. Welcome to the jungle honk away right. So yeah, she's just, she like reserved her hotel room, you know, six months ago, just, yeah, when they started out for now,

Starting point is 00:56:35 she said, we're going to stay. I think we need Iowa city. Yeah. You're going to get an early bird discount on these holiday in. So tensions are starting to rise. She's giving my family updates that I don't feel like they need to know. She's been stuff like, hey guys, my family's almost here. And so my parents are just like being really nice. Like, okay, great. But we're not staying for the game.

Starting point is 00:57:00 They have to retell them. Like, we're not staying for the game. So as soon as the Hall of Fame is done, like we're out of here, like they can have the seats and it just starts to happen more. Hey guys, how, how, how much longer do you guys think you're going to be here? It gets to the point. I can't take it. I, I just leave. I'm like, this is, this is awkward for me. I'm going to go talk to Rachael and her family and her parents for somewhere else. Okay.

Starting point is 00:57:22 So they're talking to Rachel's old volleyball coach. So I go over there and they're like, how are your parents doing? I'm like, oh, they're good. They're actually in the midst of a little something right now. And so as I'm telling Rachel and her family this, I also tell her old volleyball coaches

Starting point is 00:57:33 are also kind of hearing this. Yeah. I don't think much of it. I'm like, yeah, that woman is trying to save these seats. I explained the whole thing. I was like, it's getting awkward. I know Corey is feeling weird over there. I had to get out of there.

Starting point is 00:57:45 Come to find out, I found out later. I guess, so Rachel's a volleyball coach, also coached Cory, Cory Coupe in high school volleyball. And so she goes over to say hi to Cory and I guess she goes over like, hey, I heard you're trying to get, heard someone's trying to kick you out of your seats. Cory's like, right there.

Starting point is 00:58:06 Just watching our every move. If you sit down, she will punch you. Yeah. Yeah, it was right in front of her. Just makes a bad situation for us. Heard you trying to, someone's trying to take your seats. Oh gosh.

Starting point is 00:58:16 No. That's awkward. And then here's the part, my dad was, it was so funny him telling everyone this because we weren't there. We didn't know all this, but it starts to get worse. So this whole time, the second row, the second row behind them is empty.

Starting point is 00:58:30 Anyone can have the second row. I think it's been very clear. My parents were just there for the next like 10 minutes. And I mean, they're just going, they're saying, hey, at one point the woman, number 10's mom, that's what we knew her by, Uh, she was like, Hey, so I think we're just going to move you guys to the, to the second row. She's going to move them. She's going to move them. And they were just like, I think we're just going to

Starting point is 00:58:54 stay here just for the hall of fame thing. And then like, we're leaving the arena. You can have, we're saving you the seats still. Like we're, we'll be out of here soon. Oh, so you can't move up to the second row? No, we can't. And oh man, that is so hard. He's like, I was getting a little worked up, but he's like, to be honest, if it came to blows, I didn't know if I could take her. She was a she was corn fed. She was bigger. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. For sure. Like she's rode on the combine a few times. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. You said he's a little worried. He couldn't take her if it came down to it And then eventually once we saw number 10 come out there. He's like, I don't even want to see the dead Corn fed

Starting point is 00:59:32 The last thing that happened which none of this is even about Rachel Hall of Fame, but it was so funny is She goes so then she has the nerve number 10's mom comes up to my dad I mean, this is like it has been a while waiting for it to happen. She comes up and she goes hey, I don't think they're doing it tonight I don't think they're doing the Hall of Fame thing tonight. My dad goes I drove six and a half hours. They're doing the Listen here They're doing it tonight. They're doing it right now. Oh my gosh.

Starting point is 01:00:07 And they did obviously. Of course. They're not like rescheduling the Hall of Fame induction. If they have fire and indoor fireworks, I don't think they're gonna be like, oh, that was an oversight that we forgot to tell them we're not doing that anymore. I think they have it pretty planned out.

Starting point is 01:00:21 It's very clearly happening. It was very organized. I mean, yeah, Rachel got a plaque. She got a rose. I mean, the whole thing was like really cool. How many, was it just her? There were two other girls. Okay.

Starting point is 01:00:32 So yeah, pretty cool. And one of those girls, Jaylee, I think her name, plays in pro volleyball and not just overseas. She plays for like the Omaha, what are they called? Supernova, something like that, Storm Chasers. Which one's minor league baseball? I think Storm Chasers is baseball, I think. Yes Royals barnstormers storm chasers storm chasers So I think a pro volleyball team is supernovas. I think I'm trying to remember

Starting point is 01:00:53 I'm not super well versed on my volleyball teams, but I think it's super no place I I do know Midwest volleyball, but like I don't outside of that. Like I'm not I'm not sure what Poughkeepsie is Raleigh I want to say they're the Ramblers. Raleigh Ramblers? Yeah, Raleigh Gamblers. Yeah, Raleigh Gamblers. Gamblin' Ramblers. So she's like professional.

Starting point is 01:01:14 Anyway, she's like still playing at the pro level. Yeah. Like the highest level basically. Making bank. So yeah, 60 grand a year minimum salary. Crazy. So it was fun. That's so interesting about that late because

Starting point is 01:01:26 Here's how would you have if you could have handled it because I know how I would have handled it How would you have handled it if you stayed there and wanted to confront this woman? I? Don't know. What do you think you would have done? I would have I would have laid out the facts and I would have made it a personal attack on her Yeah, nice way possible in the nice way possible. I would have said I would have laid out the fact I would have made it a personal attack on her in the nicest way possible. In the nicest way possible. I would have said, I would have laid out the facts. I would have said, listen, we told you that we were going to give you this seat. We told you that nothing has changed. We are promising that we are going to leave after that.

Starting point is 01:01:55 I promise you, you'll get your seat. Do you not, is there something about me that makes you not trust me? Is there, is there something that like, why do you not trust that this is true? That's what I would have said to her. I would have been like, listen, we are here, but I promise we will leave. If we don't, I'll give you, and sometimes this is, I, unfortunately Hattie has started doing this and it's, I don't know, whatever. Like with Hattie, I'll be like, Hattie, if I hurt you by doing this, I'll give you a

Starting point is 01:02:20 thousand dollars. And so now she'll say that to Bo, like, Bo, if you don't like the candy, I'll give you a thousand dollars. And so now she'll say that to bow like bow. If you don't like the candy, I'll give you a thousand bucks. Like I would have said that to that woman. Like just to, I would be like, if we don't leave, I'll give you each a hundred dollars. How about that? Is that a fair trade? And you can sit in the second row. Like, no, that's good saying we're going to move you up to the second row would have, would have caused me to have that conversation. I think I'm a pretty kind nonconvertational guy for the most part, but eventually it's like, okay, you can't stop talking to me.

Starting point is 01:02:48 And so now that you're talking to me already, I'll talk to you back and be like, what are you doing? And they're not reserved seats. They didn't pay for these seats. It's general admission. Everyone has the same right. You have no right to this seat more than I do. Yeah.

Starting point is 01:03:00 Yeah, the one, two punch of we're gonna move you and ah, I just don't think they're even doing it. It's wild. Just like, ah, sorry, get out of here. Yeah, I one, two punch of we're going to move you and, ah, I just don't think they're even doing it. Yeah, it's wild. Just like, sorry, get out of here. Yeah, I would have said, do you mind, do you mind not talking to me anymore? I don't know what I would have said that, but I would have what I would have been thinking.

Starting point is 01:03:14 I don't know what I would have done exactly. I mean, probably something similar to my dad. I think I would have just overwhelmed them with things that they, she probably already knew. But just to reiterate my point, like, look, I've come out of town, that girl right there is getting decked To the Hall of Fame. That's all I'm here for I don't even know what school you who you guys are I'm not here to root you off. I don't even know really diminish like her importance

Starting point is 01:03:35 Listen this game in the grand scheme of things is not that important really any sport when you think about it Yeah, it's all fleeting So, do you know where you're going when you die, by the way? And just like, present the gospel to her right there. Hopefully it's higher than the second row. So here's you on one side. Here's God. How are you going to connect it?

Starting point is 01:03:53 It's a, it's a bridge. Yeah. That is going. It used to be ground, ground, but now it's down there. And if you fall, there's, there's no ramp that can get you back up there, nothing. So. It's the bridge. It's the bridge.

Starting point is 01:04:08 So yeah. That was fun. That's crazy. It was a hot start to the weekend. Yeah. Because we were up there. Rachel and I drove up there Wednesday. So we were in Iowa a long time.

Starting point is 01:04:16 And by the end of the trip, we're like, I can't believe Number 10's mom was this trip. That seems like so long ago. Oh yeah. You know, just because we did so much together. And I don't know if there's really much else like so long ago. I know just because we did so much together and I don't know if there's really much else like super podcast worthy and I would have loved to watch number 10's mom like during the game.

Starting point is 01:04:32 Like if she's that worked up before the game, like that could affect a kid. I think like if you knew your mom was that scared, like that, like nervous about the game and worked up, it'd be like, I don't want to mess up because then my mom's going to be bothered by it. Yeah. You know, we did stick around and watch the game a little bit because they told Rachel, like, don't leave. We're going to give you a printed out, like a printout of a photo we took of you. OK. Printers and I would take a while.

Starting point is 01:04:56 So we watched a lot of that game, but I didn't mind. I kind of like like I'm not used to being around volleyball like this. And volleyball is such a great spectator sport. It might be one of the best because you get, especially at that, like when the stakes are so high, you get an explosion of like cheering one way or another every like 15 seconds. You know what I mean?

Starting point is 01:05:18 Like no matter who scores the point, half of the arena is going nuts because every point is so pivotal. Like you don't really get that in, I'm trying to think of a sport where like every single play there's an explosion from the audience. Basketball can be that. Well, but like, yeah. Basketball at a high level, probably every single basket is celebrated super.

Starting point is 01:05:36 It's like a big deal. Like, yes, we're, yeah, whatever. But yeah, I should say high level, but it's like high stakes basketball. That's an interesting thought. Like that it's one of the best spectator sports because it's like I think so much of sports, so much of why I love sports is like the narrative behind the sports. I mean, meaning like, like I love basketball, but like it'd be, it'd be kind of fun to go

Starting point is 01:05:57 watch a, like that really high up Springfield tournament that you always go to. Oh yeah. Tournament champions. Yeah. Like that'd be really fun to to go watch some good basketball be played. But I think so much of sports for me is like, not only the game and how fun it is to watch that,

Starting point is 01:06:13 but it's also like, and also like, this Lions kicker was selling bricks in Houston last year. And now he's making these field goals. I'm right there with you. Lions were the worst franchise ever for the longest time. And now they're pretty good. I'm so 100% with you. I can't watch a game if I don't have some sort

Starting point is 01:06:31 of investment like that. And so the game, before Rachel got inducted, I'm finding ways to get invested into it. And so I'm like, Rachel's former teammates, moms, he's assistant coach, whatever. I got to talk to a guy affiliated with the team. And so he's telling me about the team. So I'm like, great, I'm gonna root for this team now.

Starting point is 01:06:49 And he's like, these two girls are twins. This one's this, this one, this. I'm like, great, I have people to cheer for and he's telling me about them. And then I think me and my dad, we watched sports the same way. He instilled this in me. Like you have to have reasons to cheer for people.

Starting point is 01:07:01 So when he got to the game, I like tested him what I knew. I was like, watch number one and number 10, there this is this, they're going to this college, they're doing this. It's just more interesting. I think that's, I'd never watched it, but I know Drive to Survive got people really into F1. And it's because now they have feelings

Starting point is 01:07:17 towards Verstappen and Hamilton, all these people. And it's like, my point in saying all that is like, maybe volleyball needs somebody to tell a better story for him because it is a really fun sport to watch. Like the Olympics, volleyball, the Olympics is really fun because like you have a natural narrative already of like, well, there's you, they're the Americans for the Americans. Like, and so it's fun for us to watch it, but I'm not watching, you know, North Carolina versus Maryland on a random Tuesday night.

Starting point is 01:07:44 Yeah, there's also a difference. Some sports translate to TV better than others. Yeah, football is better on TV than it is in person. Almost every other sport is better in person, though. You think volleyball is way better? Yeah. OK, I think it's pretty fun to watch on. I mean, it still seems really intense the whole time. Yeah. But anyway, just had fun watching volleyball and number 10's team got some mo

Starting point is 01:08:08 So from what I watched they lost like 25 10. I mean they scored like barely any points each game. Yeah the team they were playing I'm just talking so much about high school volleyball. It was like a moneyball team It's like they don't have a single girl over six foot. It's like where they find these people they anti corn fed Yeah, they're all so small. They just know how to make work together. They're a team. They're a team. Jake number 10 can learn a thing or two. That's right. Yeah. And isn't so funny to think that there was some girl out there and I went and we've talked so much about easily figure out like, okay, so Jake said the second game was two a so let's go to the team that lost the two a state championship find number 10 and that's the girl like do some quick sleuthing, but no one's going gonna do that. So maybe it's all made up. Maybe. Yeah. Maybe it's the whole time

Starting point is 01:08:49 it's been number one. Jake, did you know that Jingle Bells was originally written about a throw blanket? Wait, hold on. Let me think about the lyrics. Rocking around the jingle bells. It's in there. Yeah. Yeahounge sets. Towels. Robes. Socks. Accessories. Bath mats. Cozy Earth membership. Wait!

Starting point is 01:09:10 What? Are we doing? I tricked you, even though you started the segment. Are we doing a Cozy Earth ad or are we doing, talking about music? Are we doing a music ad? Yeah, music ad. Music ad.

Starting point is 01:09:20 Music ad. Music ad. Music ad. Music ad. Music ad. Music ad. Music ad. Music ad. Music ad. Music ad. Wait, what are we doing? I tricked you, even though you started the segment. Are we doing a Cozy Earth ad or are we doing, talking about music? We're doing a music ad.

Starting point is 01:09:45 It needs to be in your cart. That's what we say. Cause it's awesome. There's stuff that's so high quality. It's just great. I love it. I think as I grow up, Jake, there's certain things. I think, why didn't I do this sooner?

Starting point is 01:09:57 Like there's certain things where it's like, why didn't I splurge on this sooner? Give me a list of four, two or food. Okay. Well, just having a nice grill. I wish I had a nice grill. Another one is just spending more time or spending more money on food to make it more,

Starting point is 01:10:15 like make myself more healthy. Okay. Another one is car wash membership. Car wash membership. Yeah, 13 bucks a month or whatever. This is amazing. And lastly is investing in good bedsheets, honestly. The sheets are where it's at.

Starting point is 01:10:30 You are spending so much of your time sleeping and it makes a difference when you have a comfortable place to sleep.

He worked the combine with Tommy and Steve.

Starting point is 01:12:15 He worked the disc ripper. He loves the disc ripper. Talk to me about what that is. It's like, uproots the soil a little bit. Oh, okay. Rips it up. Yeah. It's pretty fancy in black dirt. I always heard farmers talk about like, uproots the soil a little bit. Oh, okay. Rips it up. Yeah. It's pretty fun seeing black dirt.

Starting point is 01:12:27 You know, I always heard farmers talk about like, oh, nothing like black dirt. You go up there, it's so black. I mean, it's pretty cool. Like just seeing dirt like that. Like in Missouri, our dirt's like red, brown, a lot of rocks, a lot of clay. It's just nice.

Starting point is 01:12:42 This is just like dark black topsoil. So why are they called it? Is it, does it use disks to rip? Is that? Yep. Okay. Yep. Spinning disks.

Starting point is 01:12:54 Like blades, like, No, not like jagged edges. You'd mess yourself up. I don't know. Okay. It's like a shark's back. You gotta go the right way. I see.

Starting point is 01:13:03 I don't know. The brand is shark's back. Shark's back disc grippers. disc rippers scruppers calm no, but it was great. My parents loved Iowa yeah, my dad's like ready to move there and like work for Steve Coop and Idol blasts. It was just fun. It was a good time. Did you watch the Chiefs game there? Yes How did you react to the alright? So here's what happened? So all game long informed time of what happened Chiefs played a game give the narrative Chiefs played a football game. So thank you. Yep They were playing the Denver Broncos. Yeah division rivals. We hate them Yep grew up all the Denver Bronco fans were jerks my whole childhood

Starting point is 01:13:42 They always beat always beat us but now we beat them, so Patrick Mahomes. Yeah, ain't no fun when the rabbits got the gun. Nice. We beat them like 15 to the last 16 times. It's going well. But close game. Mahomes easy touchdown pass to Travis Kelsey with just a couple minutes left.

Starting point is 01:14:00 Would have won us the game, misses him. How does he do that? How does he do that? Oh no. Oh here. All right. It's all right. Just kick a field goal.

Starting point is 01:14:09 So now we're up what? Two points. Let's call it two points. Yeah, but not very much time left, no problem. We kick the ball off, for some reason, we don't kick it how we normally do. Weird. Weird.

Starting point is 01:14:21 They get the, the Broncos get the ball way further up the field than normal, and all they need is a field goal to win the game. And of course, they're getting the first down here, our first down there. They're in field goal range. They can just run out the clock and kick an easy chip shot field goal to win the game.

Starting point is 01:14:36 Nothing the Chiefs can do. Very unlikely that this guy misses this thing. We can't like stop them. They're just like, they're kneeling the ball. All they want to do is kick a field goal to win the game. They're not even trying to score a touchdown. So the chiefs are helpless. We can't call timeouts.

Starting point is 01:14:50 We can't get the ball back. So you think maybe, just maybe, they miss him every once in a while. Maybe he's gonna miss it. Maybe he'll miss it. It's such a short distance. Kickers are getting so good nowadays. You just don't really see.

Starting point is 01:15:01 It's probably 90% success rate on a field goal this distance. At this point, you're kind of accepting it's over. We've lost. We're no longer undefeated. Bomber. So around the time the field goal is being kicked, three things happened. One, the play before it. Optimistic me. I don't give up hope. I text our chiefs group chat and I say, Hey, which chiefs player you think is gonna block this kick? So that out there also like you know, no one answered me. I Was sitting there thinking bummer. This is a bummer I'm trying not to have too much of a reaction in front of my children right now. I'm just sad

Starting point is 01:15:37 Second thing happened all game long you got I knew you guys were ahead of me watching it that I will Wi-Fi a little slow I was about to play behind the whole that's funny. I thought one time you were were ahead of me watching it, that I will wifi a little slow. I was about to play behind the whole. That's funny, I thought one time you were in front of me. In Iowa? I thought you texted some, but maybe you just texted really late. No, I was like a play and a half behind or so, it felt like.

Starting point is 01:15:58 So I would do a good job, I wouldn't check my phone while things were happening, I would only check it during commercials, no spoilers. Well, about 30 seconds before they kick, my phone starts buzzing. Zzz, zzz, zzz, zzz, zzz. And I'm not looking down like, well, that's interesting. I feel like they wouldn't,

Starting point is 01:16:18 they probably wouldn't be texting a lot if we lost. Okay, hey, I'll just see. They're lining up for the field goal. Right is like the kicker's like taking his steps back. Angie Koop goes, okay, I'll just see. They're lining up for the field goal. Right as the kicker's taking his steps back, Angie Koop goes, oh, I think we might be a little behind. And she doesn't, to her credit, she doesn't say anything one way or another. It wasn't like a, and I can't believe-

Starting point is 01:16:36 Do you think that was intentional or do you think that was lucky? I don't know. I don't know what happened, but I was just like, just hang on, it's like 10 more seconds. We're about to find out. And yeah, miraculously, the Chiefs blocked the kick. I saw, and we won the game.

Starting point is 01:16:50 It was nuts. I saw a stat afterwards. There have been 1,048 instances of a game-winning field goal as time is expiring with, that's like less than 35 yards. So pretty much the exact scenario that happened. It's happened over a thousand times. This is the first time the field goal has ever been blocked.

Starting point is 01:17:09 So it's truly miraculous what happened. It's just a one out of a thousand. I watched the video of it happening and I was like, I can't tell what's going on. I think it's like I just have that little of a I'm like, I don't know. Oh, really? How did it end up way over there to the right? I'm like, I don't get it. What was he aiming for? Yeah, and what are those yellow things? This seems separate. It's so green. I love that green grass. I want to be a Chiefs fan now. That's right

Starting point is 01:17:36 So that was that was the game. That was it really fun. That's pretty fun I was watching at home by myself pretty quietly just like dang. I can't believe we're losing. We're going to lose this game. That's all right. Not a big deal. And, but I was like, maybe there's a chance he's misses this thing. And when that thing, and then I was like, maybe it's going to be a bad snap. So I was watching the snap and everything and I was like, you know, whatever. But like he blocks it and I stand up and I run around my living room. I think I did like the laugh like I do sometimes here where I was just like, oh! Oh!

Starting point is 01:18:09 But I like get up and start running around. I was just in my, not just in my socks, but I didn't have shoes on, you know, so I had my socks on on my hardwood floors. So I like, you know how sometimes you kind of like run with your socks? You kind of like, like I almost fell over. I was just like, oh!

Starting point is 01:18:23 Like just falling down, like no way! It was awesome. And Kath was like, no, like just falling down. Like, no way. It was awesome. He kept it like, what happened? What's what's going on? You don't understand, but that was just insane. One in a thousand. I went back and looked at our text and yeah, I texted who do you think is gonna block the kick?

Starting point is 01:18:36 No response. No response. And then two minutes later, Peter says, oh my, Jake or Isaac in all caps says, Jacob, I'm coming to kiss you. Luke, his first text of the day says, no way. Isaac, you did it. Scott just smashed his keyboard and it said, info. Because Alicia's snapping, I suffer, say.

Starting point is 01:18:56 Isaac, all caps, it was you, Jake. Trying to say you, oh my gosh. Yeah, we're just freaking out. After a little time settles, Isaac goes, the refs blocked it, that's wild. Yeah, that was funny, because everyone blames the refs for the Chiefs. That was fun.

Starting point is 01:19:10 Yeah, I'm sure like as a non-Chiefs fan, all these people that are like now hating on the Chiefs, it's like, of course, of course. Oh, of course, the one time this happens, it's the Chiefs. I know. And I don't care, I'm sorry for- I love it. Everything that's coming afterwards,

Starting point is 01:19:23 it's not like this was lucky, it's not like he just missed an easy kick like yes, we we use skill to win. Yes, what you do? Uh-huh hundred percent hundred percent So I wanted a pretend hundred percent. Oh Great times. Oh, it's just magical. It's just awesome awesome time awesome blossom awesome blossom I It was just awesome. Awesome time. Awesome blossom. Awesome blossom. I don't have, I have some things written down, but they're my wins of the week,

Starting point is 01:19:49 so I might save them for my Wednesday. Okay, let me give you a red meat update then. Oh, yes, that should have led the show. The talk show. Yeah, everyone's wanna know. So I put it on our Ghostrunners Instagram story. Somebody may have seen my little visit with Dr. On. But if this is your first episode,

Starting point is 01:20:09 ooh, maybe this is a little clip. Hey, permission to go viral? Permission granted. This is our clip. Let me think about how I wanna intro it. Whatever, just go with it. Three weeks ago, I had experimental acupuncture to get rid of my tick bite red meat allergy.

Starting point is 01:20:25 Okay. As we all know, it was very strange, the whole testing process. My arms got involved, there were needles in my ear and I had to wait three weeks. He takes the needles out and he goes, you're cured. All right, yeah, thanks for testing it. I was like, great.

Starting point is 01:20:44 And you could see on video, I say, so can I go have a steak right now? And he goes, yeah, thanks for testing it. I was like, great. And you could see on video, I say, so can I go have a steak right now? And he goes, yeah, go for it. Like, I really don't think I should have a steak right now. First red meat in five years, just dive into a steak. Just, yeah, don't even cook it. It's, hey, you're allergic to the sugar molecule. So I mean, cooked or not. It doesn't really matter so

Starting point is 01:21:06 That was Wednesday. We had a road trip to Iowa that night didn't want to test it Thursday Rachel's getting inducted in the Hall of Fame Didn't want to test it. But Friday. Yeah Friday at Showtime hot dog. So I did a did a couple things I think My first thing was I we went to Casey's gas station for if we stopped there like for lunch or something that day I don't know why I was even there now. I think about it, but They have a little pizza. I'm not used to thinking this way. I was like, oh shoot. No cheese. Oh wait, I Can't I was like I'm gonna do a pepperoni pizza ease ourself into it a little bit Okay, get the body warmed up and then that night They made burgers and I said,

Starting point is 01:21:46 I'm gonna have half a burger. Sure, good start. So I had half a hamburger and never really felt that, that bad, but never felt that good. Now, when I think about what I ate that day though, it's so bad. Like Steve Koop took us on a hayride and served hot chocolate.

Starting point is 01:22:04 Okay. We had cheesy potatoes for dinner. Yeah. I had a bowl of cereal that morning. Like I had so much dairy and my first red meat in five years, it was just a conglomerate. Like there was a lot going on.

Starting point is 01:22:17 Yeah. So I'm like, I don't know if that's red meat or maybe I just shouldn't have ate as poorly as I did today. So I'm like, tomorrow I'm eating clean. Yeah. Fruit, lean chicken, whatever. Yeah. And then we're gonna fully test it at night. So I'm like, tomorrow I'm eating clean. Fruit, lean chicken, whatever. And then we're gonna fully test it at night.

Starting point is 01:22:28 So I ate well all day. I felt great all day. And then that night we went to Hibachi, like steak at Japanese Grill. And I said, I'll take the steak. Got the steak, only $1 more for filet mignon. Might as well. Iowa, baby.

Starting point is 01:22:43 So I get that. I order at medium. My first steak in five and a half years, six years. Yeah. It comes well done. That's a pretty massive bummer, but I don't say anything. I eat it. Yeah. Yeah. You've really cooked it. I mean, it was brown. It was what my face has got to be this weekend on the inside of that steak. I was hoping for a little red. So that was too bad. It still tasted fine. But I, you know, 10, 10 bites of steak. And then the clock starts ticking because everyone's always asked me, how you feeling? How you feeling? Like, really, we don't need to be worried. This would always happen between two and three hours after I consumed it. Right. It's never like, that's our witching hour. It's never like anaphylactic shock. Like,

Starting point is 01:23:21 close it up all of a sudden. Yeah. Doctor on, call doctor on. Just call him. Yeah. So now I was following it, I was fine. But as it got closer, I was like, now is when we need to be nervous. This is the witching hour. And as it came to pass,

Starting point is 01:23:37 I think I'm still allergic to red meat. Really? Yeah. It was just feeling exactly how I remember it feeling. Yeah, it did not work. Dang it. My dad has a theory. He's like, I think that much soy sauce would make anyone feel weird. He was like, you need to just like have meat straight up. Just have a burger straight up. Yeah. So I'll test it again. I'll roll the dice one more time.

Starting point is 01:24:00 Okay. I don't feel miserable. Okay. But it's you just need to be able to go to bed pretty quickly after you do this. That's what I want to get to into it. But like, yeah, was it the same as before or was it just like not feeling normal afterwards? It was almost exactly how I remember feeling five, six years ago when it happened. I've just like, I don't, I never end up throwing up. Nothing that bad ever ends up happening. But it's kind of one of those where you can't stand up straight.

Starting point is 01:24:26 It's just like, it's cramps and it's a lot of like gas and indigestion and it's like the feeling of like, something's not good. So I don't really want to move much. So if all you have to do the rest of the night is lay on the couch, I can probably, like that's why I'm willing to test it more. But you need to be like around not many people

Starting point is 01:24:44 and you need to go to bed soon. Cause it's not like you ate that much steak, it sounds like. It wasn't that much. But it was enough to, okay, maybe the next thing then is like one bite. Like one- Let's do less portion control. Like is it the amount or is it the actual red meat?

Starting point is 01:25:01 You know what I mean? Yeah. Cause like if you're allergic to peanuts, you have a peanut, you're done. Yeah, but maybe like if you're allergic to peanuts you have a peanut you're done Yeah, but maybe I could still have like a small patty like a McDonald's hamburger. Maybe I can have that yeah I don't think you start with that you start with one bite of that hamburger great and just see what happens work our way up Hey, Jake. Hey, I bet you didn't know this about the origins of jingle bells. Don't tell me Did you know it was originally written about?

Starting point is 01:25:26 water clean water, safe water, healing waters, international? Wait, let me think. Yeah, there's a water sound in there, isn't there? Yeah, what a bright time. It's the right time to rock the night away. Jingle bell time is a swell time to go riding with one horse pitcher full of water in your sleigh. Yep. So where do you get snow from water? I got it. I got it. Healing Waters International. Such a cool sponsor. Such a cool impact that this podcast is having

Starting point is 01:26:06 on people around the globe. Healing Waters, they are providing safe and clean water solutions to villages, to people, to tribes who don't otherwise have access to clean water. They're bringing first world solutions to third world problems, and they're doing it all very sustainably and just very, very ethically, hiring locally, giving them things they can use for years

Starting point is 01:26:29 and years and years, it's all good. Yeah, it sounds daunting. It is daunting. Obviously this huge crisis of clean water, but it is so easy to get involved yourself. So if you go to give.healingwaters.org for something as simple as a one-time donation of $30, that will provide a child with safe drinking water for an entire year.

Starting point is 01:26:50 Or you can do a monthly gift of $25, that would provide safe water for 10 children each year. So it is feasible. It is realistic for us to get involved. Consider it. Give.healingwaters.org slash Ghostrunners. We can make a real difference here. We are making a difference. It's so cool to see the ghosty stepping up in this way for a cause

Starting point is 01:27:10 that is truly worthwhile. So once again, give dot healing waters dot org slash Ghostrunners timing today. Nice! Yeah. Today. Today. Do it today. It made us just in general how Dr. Odin should have told you. I know. Like, should I go back to him and just be like, hey, it didn't work? Yes.

Starting point is 01:27:35 I see. I feel like I should just like ditch him and just move on. But that's how he makes all this money. If he's ripping people off, it's like, no, keep him accountable. That's a good point too. It's like, whoa, you said it was gonna work and it didn't. Let's work on this a little bit more. I'll call him.

Starting point is 01:27:48 Cause you did the thing. I saw you with the arm test. He said I was very strong. Very strong. Very strong. He's like, okay, it's all good. You're cured. He was like so like nonchalant about it in the video.

Starting point is 01:27:58 He's like, okay, no more allergy. I'm like, all right. Man, so yeah, that was the last time was hibachi. Yes, hibachi probably like Friday or Saturday night. Okay. So, Good Reacher's delivered me some burgers though. Did you do that? They delivered you some too?

Starting point is 01:28:18 Yeah, I thought maybe you like said like, hey, go ahead and deliver him some burgers. Yeah, yeah, I'm a good friend like that. I I think whatever they deliver me, they'll deliver to you, too, I guess. I just asked like we almost always have chicken, but every once in a while we want ground beef stuff and so I was like, can you just send us some beef? And so cool. They send that in the ham.

Starting point is 01:28:40 Yeah. And the bacon butter. Yep. Never seen that before. It's nice. If you like that kind of stuff. I think I would. Yeah. If the bacon butter. Yep. Never seen that before. It's nice. If you like that kind of stuff. I think I would. Yeah. If I can. I like those two things. Yeah. Bacon and butter.

Starting point is 01:28:51 So. So anyway, I know there was a lot of hope and maybe, yeah, maybe it's not all gone but it did feel like it didn't work. I think everyone wants it to be true. Like your dad being like, I think it's a soy sauce. You know, other people being like, I mean, it's Casey's pizza, you know, whatever like

Starting point is 01:29:07 But maybe I don't know. I feel like there's got to be a potential Something in there. I don't know. Yeah, just doctor on like a really clean like yeah Just good rancher salt and pepper and you're a burger or something. Yeah, I don't know if not give it all to me Yep, I'll take it. We'll try it. But dang. Yeah. Too bad. I know. I was really excited. It was going to change my life. I'm not, I'm not done. We're not done. We're not done. No, especially not with Dr. Odd, if you charge you that money. Okay. I don't want, I don't want to hear it from these people that are like, I told you so. Well, we don't know yet. We're not. The game's not over yet. I mean, yeah, if you're a scientist, there's like there's all sorts of different variables here

Starting point is 01:29:47 I didn't play so First day was hot chocolate. So don't eat anything else and I didn't feel that bad from a half a burger. So So it was it was worse after the steak you think yeah for sure. Yeah interesting So maybe it's like what else are you eating with it? Maybe there does need to be some complimentary like it can't just be too much soy sauce. Because what else? Yeah. Soy sauce and rice probably that night. Yeah. And everything is pretty drenched in soy sauce, which is awesome. It's oh yeah. Yeah. Havachi so that was what I got for my birthday was, uh, Catherine got me a, like a griddle, you know what Blackstone

Starting point is 01:30:23 is? Yeah. So she got me a griddle insert that can go in my grill to like basically turn it into a Blackstone. And the opportunities are now becoming even more endless. Oh, I love hibachi. Especially if you're in the Cedar Falls, if you're in Cedar Falls, Iowa, go to Sakura. Okay. Sakura, Sakura.

Starting point is 01:30:41 Japanese. I haven't found a place in Kansas City that's better than Sakura yet. Rachel and I have tried. Oh wow. Oh, it's nuts. How haven't found a place in Kansas City that's better than Sakura yet. Rachel and I have tried. Oh wow. Oh, it's nuts. How many you gone to in Kansas City? Three probably. Yeah. Enough. Enough.

Starting point is 01:30:52 That's funny, cause I feel like all of them are just really good and just the same. Head to Sakura. Yeah. Okay. Cedar Falls, right next to the Chuck E. Cheese. Oh, that's what you know. It's like, yeah, people have fun in this strip mall right here. It's right between Texas Roadhouse and the Chuck E. Cheese So if one line's long, you go to the other.

Starting point is 01:31:09 It was fun. I've been hanging out with Gabe Oliver recently a few times. Gabe Oliver. Thank you. Yeah. I've been, you know, gave Oliver and he was, I was talking about where he's from in Pennsylvania and he's like, I mean, we're like, cause I was like, how, like, where's the closest like landmark city? Like, cause he's at first, he's like Philadelphia. I was like, no, no, no. I like Philadelphia. Like, like a place where you'd go, like where's, where's the place that guys are polo like that's like a decent city. You know what I mean? Not just like a whatever. And he's like, well, there's this place it has, it has red Robin, whatever reason, like this, like understanding the small town culture of Kansas is like some

Starting point is 01:31:46 people went nuts when that red Robin went. I guarantee you. Oh my gosh. This red Robin is incredible. Yeah. So anyway, just thinking about like Cedar falls, like yeah, the Texas roadhouse and Cedar falls, the Chuck E cheese, Sakura Sakura. So good.
